Sir I am struggling badly with golf swing after watching all videos on youtube. But this video lesson clears my mind about golf swing . No more confusion. Thanks.
And now, the Rest of the Story regarding the benefits of “swooshing” the club 30 inches in front of the ball: (1). In order to achieve the swoosh in front of the ball, the club must continually *accelerate* in speed. (2). As the club continually accelerates in speed, the bend of the shaft (ie, “shaft flex”) is retained *through impact.* (3). As shaft flex is retained through impact, the club head is extremely *stable.* (4). An extremely stable club face through impact allows for better ball control and greater consistency. Simple but outstanding lesson, Steve. 👊👊
Steve, this is the best video I have ever seen! I played a round with a long ball hitter who hits it 390 in competition and guess what this is what he does. Well done!
Great info Steve! Saw a video by Freddy Couples where he states the same intention out 'in front' of the ball. Also he said he felt like a giant pair of scissors was cutting his shaft in half!
This is a fantastic tip. Just doing this absolutely frees up my golf swing. I struggle with trying to control and force myself into all the classic pro positions. But doing this and “losing control to gain control” is gold. The only thing I felt with this is that the club head still felt awkward and imbalanced going through the “swoosh” zone through to finish. But, when I consciously “dropped” the club from the top (using gravity) to get into the slot before “swooshing” there is literally no resistance from the club head and it travels without resistance and very stable through the swoosh zone to finish. Thank you for the video.
Great video, thanks! I'm a subscriber now. It makes sense not to focus on all 127 parts of the swing and concentrate on how you want to end up, then let the body naturally help you get there. But I'm a high handicapper and my "whoosh" is much closer to the ball instead of out in front. I often hit it with an open face, toward the toe, often fat, and if I get lucky and happen to hit it straight, my distance is pathetic. I haven't tried this method yet, but I will as soon as it warms up out there (Chicago area).
excellent, as a lower handicapper who is dealing with heel hits, this is good stuff. Too many swing thoughts to play good golf. You reminded me that a smooth fast, free swing puts the body in very good contact position. I think Steve should take up coaching!
Gold. Now that you say it i realize im trying to control it too much to avoid chunking it. I thought i was throwing it but i dont think i do that on the course.
Nice KISS video. I needed to be reminded of this. Thanks. Interestingly, I noticed that your left foot flairs out during your back swing. I haven’t seen this before. Other than protecting your left knee, do you do this as a mental reminder to move your weight to the left side?
i've been wondering about this as well. i have a sensitive left knee that doesn't like me to twist hard on it. i start with left foot out slightly but it can flare up during range practice. watching what Steve does here.
If I only had 1 swing trainer for all around use and to develop the speed beyond the ball, what would you recommend - Orange whip, orange whip light, or Momentus Woosh?
Loosen grip pressure to around a 3. Relax hands, wrists, and arms. Make a long backswing. Use the body to get the club started. Left arm should pin itself against the torso. Allow wrists to hinge freely with the swing. Use the lower body and core pressure against the ground to “SLING” not “SWING” the club THROUGH the ball and not TO or AT the ball.
I was thinking the same thing. teaching methodology needs to be custom fit for every student. What he described that works works for some while what he says doesn't work, will also work for others.
@@MPT458 what he says about kids is true , they do have beautiful fluid swings as young kids , but as they get in there teens ,lots of instruction is needed to play at a high level, even tiger one of the best juniors ever ,had to fix his lateral slide , dumped under swing ,most good juniors have , all my 3 juniors have had that same issue as well
Dannn, am confused now. Turned into wrist locking and gotten better impact but accumulating pain in both elbow. Distance just slightly better. Is flipping the wrist the key factor now?
My friend 70 yr old shoots 78 consistently from senior T no matter which course he plays. He said all these lessons are no good. You just need to concentrate hitting square to the ball is the only secret of golf.
Hi I am 74years young can you help me strike my 8Iron 110or120 carry as the first hole in my golf course is 100yards over a very long dip.if you have any videos I would be very grateful.thank you,Richard 👍🏌🏿♂️
First thing I would check is the length of your backswing and follow through. If it is not long enough try practicing in front of a mirror first taking it further.
This would have been a lot more effective if you showed a 15 handicapper before and after. You can obviously already do this so not sure how useful or helpful this would be to someone who struggles with all the issues you said this fixes.
I'm not able to do this with the ball. If I try to hit like this I miss the ball at all, If I try not to miss the ball then a early release the club. Not that easy at all.
Steve is sharing free golf tips that's taken him years to learn, but here you are criticizing the length of his videos. If you want 3 minutes videos then let's see you make them. It's sometimes difficult to explain things in 3 minutes. Be appreciative.
It’s usually somewhere within these slightly longer 15 minute-ish videos that people will get the golden nugget of info required to understand what is being taught. Some will get it within the first 3 minutes (like yourself), others will take a bit more time. That’s why he is explaining things in several different ways to try and get across to as many as possible what is being shown in the video. If you get what he is trying to explain then take it and move on. Don’t criticise someone for putting the time and effort into making instructional videos for free. Have a great day though. Cheers.
Help,,,, I hit the ball( with irons),, then why do I take a Deep divot????,,I’ve tried Everything from everyone,,,,,No one has help me,,,Please help,,,,
Your angle of attack is likely very steep. There could be a number of reasons. Send an trimmed swing from down the line to me at Steve@hititlonger.com and I'd be happy to look!

Your instructions are incredible, so simple and different than any one else on youtube. Best of best . Thanks. I am addicted to your lessons.

you and Paul Wilson are Masters...I love these lessons
Loved video from Kansas
Great info Steve! Saw a video by Freddy Couples where he states the same intention out 'in front' of the ball. Also he said he felt like a giant pair of scissors was cutting his shaft in half!
As I’ve said for years! You’re the best!👍👍
you make everything in the golf swing understandable 👍👍
Thanks 👍

Great 👍
Great! It's true. Ebdy is trying to create lag in order to hit it late. It's the opposite. Thinking a late release creates lag.😊
Gold. Now that you say it i realize im trying to control it too much to avoid chunking it. I thought i was throwing it but i dont think i do that on the course.
Thanks Steve! I like it!
Great lesson
best lesson i ever seen👍
Quality content again. Thanks Steve.
Great work thanks for This Tom 😊
I’ve always been told the swoosh should be at or near the ball. I’m certainly going to be working to change the point of the sound.
If you exaggerate that feeling, more often than not it won't be as far in front. This drill is to free up your body through impact.
And more importantly get your tempo in the right place.
Hi, fantastic video ,is it directly in front of the ball 30 inches towards the Target? Okay the end of the video answered my question.
Nice KISS video. I needed to be reminded of this. Thanks. Interestingly, I noticed that your left foot flairs out during your back swing. I haven’t seen this before. Other than protecting your left knee, do you do this as a mental reminder to move your weight to the left side?
Protecting old tibia injury.
i've been wondering about this as well. i have a sensitive left knee that doesn't like me to twist hard on it. i start with left foot out slightly but it can flare up during range practice. watching what Steve does here.
Dang, that toddlers swing was great... gotta channel my inner toddler!
Every time I miss a 2 footer I channel my inner child 😂
So true how the photographs have ruined peoples golf swing. Like how you made the point with the little kid.
Is this the principle with any club Steve or just the driver
Any club if you're looking for more distance.
If I only had 1 swing trainer for all around use and to develop the speed beyond the ball, what would you recommend - Orange whip, orange whip light, or Momentus Woosh?
Orange Whip, mid-size.
Loosen grip pressure to around a 3. Relax hands, wrists, and arms. Make a long backswing. Use the body to get the club started. Left arm should pin itself against the torso. Allow wrists to hinge freely with the swing. Use the lower body and core pressure against the ground to “SLING” not “SWING” the club THROUGH the ball and not TO or AT the ball.
Would Fred Shoemaker club throwing help with this?
Do you aim ahead of the ball on the target line or on a point on the arc?
On the arc. But I might advise someone who tends to outside in too much differently.
What is brand name of swoosh trainer. Tks
Speed Whoosh. Only on Amazon or Momentus golf.
Where should we hear the swoosh for mid irons?
Brand name of swoosh club? Tks
Speed Whoosh. Only on amazon now.
I wish you would expand that idea into actually hitting a ball.
It's always been difficult for me to swing on an arc because I feel that I will send the ball to left field.
That's the clubface! You won't have to roll the toe so much.
Brillant
if only it were that easy, I have 3 elite junior golfers, not this easy

Just whip the clubhead at 30" past. :)
@@Inmotion70 Thanks man, will try out..

OK now explain to me how you're going to do that.

That's ok.. It's new. Film your attempts and see if you are making a difference. Quality contact comes later.
I recently discovered the very thing you just taught.
The first guy to make 3 minute tip videos will make a fortune. These long winded videos kill me.

Cell phones have ruined everyone's attention span. I mean there's lots of 30 second tips on TikTok or IG if that's what you want
Stop the video at 4:22... I cannot agree this is a good position to be in, yes your hands are forward but look at your body....
What about it?
Help,,,, I hit the ball( with irons),, then why do I take a Deep divot????,,I’ve tried Everything from everyone,,,,,No one has help me,,,Please help,,,,
Your angle of attack is likely very steep. There could be a number of reasons. Send an trimmed swing from down the line to me at Steve@hititlonger.com and I'd be happy to look!
I guess the feel is like skipping a rock?
if the golf swing wasn't complicated (hard)....there wouldn't be any 'how to' (instructors) folks.
This is very easy to replicate with a swoosh trainer, it's not at all easy to translate to an actual golf hit.
Exaggerate the swoosh. Slow down the ball swings at first.
