      I need a lesson lol
      I tend to hit the ball straight,but most of the time its a push,so i aim further left like 20 yards left with the driver,but in all fairness i hit it a long ways..anyways,sometimes if i hit it off the toe it turns into a hook which gets me in trouble,have no idea what im doing wrong..i am a truck driver,i would drive to wherever you guys are and pay for a lesson

    For years and years I thought I needed to have a short and compact back swing to be able to strike the ball well. The other week, I started trying this (which I got from another video of yours) bigger turn thingy. I really feel the legs and hips working like you demonstrate and the chest turn as well, with all the clubs. Driver is still pretty wild, as I struggle with open face, but with every other club I'm longer and still as consistent, if not more so. I'm over a club longer. Gone from not being sure to reach the green from 150 metres with my 7 iron to being scared that the 8 iron goes too long from that distance. It's also helped my path (when I do it right) and it's not out to in every time anymore.
    Letting the hips and legs move is integral to me.

      I’ve been playing self taught bad golf for 21 years, taking golf lesson for the first time this year. I broke two drivers heads in two months first time in 21 years I’ve broken a club. I’ve been buying cheap old drivers to practice with but realized that I was hitting the ball on the heel pretty much a shank. I haven’t let it discourage me rather using the info to correct that heel strike. Keep up playing and honestly practicing at least a few times a week helps, I try to hit 25 balls in my backyard every few days, practice doesn’t need to be hours a day to make improvements, I’m not trying make the tour just enjoy golf a little more.

  • @matthewdavis3421
    @matthewdavis3421 3 месяца назад

    It has come to my attention that I do not rotate throughout the shot correctly. Thinking back, none of my coaches in baseball or tennis have ever told me what I'm doing wrong, and I've never been coached in golf. I'd appreciate it if you guys could talk a bit about what the lower body is supposed to feel like during various shots with concepts to try for during contact and the follow through. Stuff like when the hips should square up during downswing, how they should release during follow through, is it a constant speed rotation of the hips or more of a release during the first or second half of the downswing. Should I feel like my ankles are twisting during the load or end of the swing, or is the balance shifted from the soles to the sides of the feet at either end? I'd appreciate any clarification on this stuff, even if it's added piecemeal sprinkled through various other videos.

  • @allensignaturetreeservices
    @allensignaturetreeservices 3 месяца назад +1

    Without a doubt, this is 100% the best tutorial on how to clean up and become more consistent with your driver. This lesson can and should be used as a baseline for irons as well. With irons, move the ball back in your stance to compress the ball and you'll be amazed with how much more feel you get from your irons.

    What I love about the feeling of moving the arms straight down on the first move of the down swing, is that it seems to get the lead shoulder moving round and up, which in turn helps me nicely hit up on the ball.

    While you are certainly welcome to your opinions, there are others that say none of what you show is true. Golf Magazine about 1992 did an extensive article on all this in a three part series. They used 200 touring pros and 400 amateurs, computers, harnesses, and very good artists to identify the differences. And they were dramatic. But is a nutshell touring pros turn away in a very level and connected plane. They do not free up their lower bodies like Greg Norman showed. Arms and shoulder only go along for the ride in what is a very level and "connected" swing. And keeping your head still is actually the kiss of death. They use lots of head movement to load up and clear things out of the way. I used it to turn myself back into a scratch player after I was about to quit the game in my 50's. You become unbelievably straight because this swing takes out almost all of the timing. It is also right in line with a lot of what Nicklaus advocated. Not all but a lot. Level body turn is what drivees the swing. Shoulder and arm are passive followers. Shoulders hardly dip at all. The left hip is closer to the target at the top of the swing than at address. This is what they do. And talented artists showed their swing and the average swing. I sure saw myself as average and I did not like what I saw. I was one of those still head guys that swung with my arms and shoulders.. Yuk.
