This video is amazing. I struggled with a horrible out/in path by 6 degrees for over 10 years. Ive watched so many videos and tried so many things but nothing worked. The whole swing as if your hitting to 1st base AND having the butt of the club pointing in that direction actually works! I have a skytrak launch monitor in my home and it was such a amazing feeling seeing the in/out path finally AND by doing this, it seems to automatically put my wrist in a bowed position which was another nightmare for me to figured out with no success. You and Zach killed 2 birds with 1 stone with me that i have worked so hard to accomplish. You and Zach, thank you so much! I love this sport so much and a huge piece of the golf swibg puzzle piece i was missing is now finally in place. Granted I still have to work on doing this with my mid/long irons but at least im moving forward. Just on my 9 iron alone, I added 35 yrds to my carry. Yeah I was that bad. Now i just gotta work up my speed. Again, much thanks to you and Zach! Keep it up bro!
Yesterday was a day for golf. When u woke up i thought for myself "Let me go watch erndogs first lesson with Zach again" and so i did. Then i went for the "no more slice-video". Now time for golf and i hit a baby-draw on 1st tee. Huh?!?! 😮 5th hole and time for driver again, baby-draw.... i did push it twice but the driver worked really well and i did hit my irons beautiful. We need Zach to jump a plane to Swede. 👏👏 Thank you guys for sharing these lessons with us. Much appreciated. 🏌🏼⛳️
Yes sir, It very much was the best lesson I’ve ever gotten. Zach’s style worked really well for me! He did like 1700 lessons last year, so he’s a hard working dude that’s figured things out through all of the lessons! Thanks for watching!!
Omg! I’ll try keep this short but…I’m 2 months back into golf after 20 year hiatus and the golfing bug has got me bad. Watched your video today and instantly booked a local sim room to try out the moves covered in the video and…for the first time in my life I CAN draw the ball repeatedly! 😁 My normal shot has always been to cut/slice and lose yardage. Just added 10 yards to my 7 iron with a swing path 1.4 degrees left. Best Xmas gift ever! Many thanks to you and your coach.
That is freaking amazing! I’m glad you came upon my video. This swing has made the golf swing a lot more effortless for me. Please keep me updated on your journey!
Hey man, post up some more videos on coaching. You have a very direct, hands on, and confident teaching style that a lot of us no nonsense players really appreciate
Ernie, i have watched this lesson about 5 tines, practiced in my house and then brought it to the range. I can't thank you enough. I was striking the ball the best i ever have. I was prone to the shanks on shorts and i was puring them! My issues were the same you had, so i had hope. I wish i would have seen this sooner, it would have made my life easier. Thanks again!! Now to work on the short game...
I have watched the first three you did with him. It's amazing how some people just know how to teach it. I have taken lessons before and didn't learn 1/10 of what I learned from watching your lesson.
I’ve come back to this lesson twice today. I love the positions he puts you into to help you feel that in to out swing. This is something I need to work on now. I’m gutted it was in the studio and that we couldn’t see ball flights.
I know!! This was still in the winter and this lesson was around 7:30PM. Did you see the lesson where he coaches me out of a slice? The ball flights on that one are pretty cool
Wished I lived in Dallas lol. I’d sign up for lessons with Zack in a heartbeat. The visuals and explanations he gives are so fire it’s insane! Love the vids btw 👍
Lmao I’m responding to these by the order they came in and I see you went straight for the Zach vids! His confidence makes you feel like if you trust the process, you will 100% reach your golf goals
Saw one of your other videos and subscribed. You can really start something great here, thinking about doing something similar. There are a lot of golfers that started later in life that don't have a ton of representation on youtube. Especially ones trying to get better the right way. The feedback your instructor is giving is extremely useful and easy to digest. Great videos!
I too, was struggling with “pinning” My arms to my body. So, I started practicing how Tony Finau appears to take club halfway back with arms directly in front of body. Now i gotta add the full turn to get some distance/consistency. Great work!
Awesome man! Yeah Jon Rahm and Tony have very compact swings because they can generate a ton of speed and don’t need to complete the back swing! Us humans need that extra bit of turn for more speed! 😂
DUDE HOLY COW!!! This lesson was AWESOME!!! I am at the same spot you described at the beginning of the video. I too am ready to revamp and pay more focus to my swing and course management WITHIN my swing coming to the season this Spring! I took down so many notes from this lesson. I hope this gets your game where you want it this season! 👍🏾 Good Lick!!
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it! I have another lesson video coming out on Friday working on hitting a push draw with the driver, and the doc did not disappoint! Keep me updated with your game!
Man, that’s a pretty significant change in your backswing. It’ll take time to get used to something like that. I’m currently going through some swing changes as well, but definitely need a few rounds and a few hundred balls on the range to get it dialed in.
This is amazing, I've been trying to see how you make this type of swing from essentially scratch. I need to take this video to the range and try to replicate the motions
Thanks for watching! The one thing that helped me the most was his comment about being extended but soft with your left arm at the top. If you’re super tight, you will lead with your heel and shank a lot of balls! Being loose allows you to rotate the face to square it at impact! Let me know how the range session goes!!!
@@ErndogGolf the biggest problem for me is dropping into the slot, it's super exaggerated in this video but more subtle in your newer one trying it out. I need to find how to get that feeling right. Great stuff have subbed can't wait for more 👍
They’re Lululemon. Seriously the best pants ever. I wear them to work, to golf, and to go out! Expensive, but worth every penny. They also do free alterations on their stuff!
Just stumbled on to your channel and going through a lot of the vids, great info and Zac seems great. This video particularly got my attention. For the longest time I have been working on trying to get that in to out path and finally getting close. Is there a drill or any particular advice that Zac gave you in order to practice dropping the club down on the initial downswing? Most instructor NEVER discuss this and just say "hit more in to out", which is of course frustrating. Thanks!
Hey man! Thanks for watching the videos! Watch the one titled “How I Fixed my Slice with 1 Driver Lesson.” Getting an in to out path is impossible if you’re unable to keep your right shoulder to be the last part of the body that gets to the ball! The backswing is super important too. You need the space to be able to drop the club down. I don’t ever really think about the club dropping, it just kinda happens when I try to swing towards first base.
@@ErndogGolf Just watched it and going to be working on it. I had a spinal fusion surgery and my back doesn't bend or twist so keeping those shoulders straight is proving to be very difficult, but what isn't difficult about golf? haha Thanks very much!
So when you’re halfway down in the downswing, and your shaft is parallel to the ground, wherever the butt of the club is pointing will determine your path. If it points right, you’ll be coming in from the inside. If it points at your target, your path is neutral. If it points left, your path is negative and likely over the top (no good)
I really struggle with the release of the club, so I try to feel like I’m snapping the club and early as possible. Watch some of my other lessons about the release as we didn’t dive in too much in this lesson
Nice lesson! Well done. I'm also in Dallas. I'm curious: Why use blade irons? Aren't they for scratch golfers only? (harder to hit unless you really know what you're doing) I was always told they're very unforgiving vs game improvement/cavity back irons
Thanks for watching! Hello fellow Texan! Watch my WITB where I dive into it a little bit! The Ping i500s are actually muscle back irons. So they’re geared towards a mid handicapper. They have a sleek look, provide some workability, but also provide forgiveness. Cavity backs are for higher handicaps and can really be unpredictable sometimes. You may get majority of your shots going a certain distance and then some shots that carry 15+ yards than you were expecting
Hey Erndog, how uncomfortable did this swing feel? You seemed to adapt to it very well but obviously this is an edited video. How did you get on continuing with this away from Zach? I seem to have real trouble in the downswing at the horizontal position. 😬
Super uncomfortable at first! But the feel of swinging to first base is what helped me the most! Check out the video titled something like “how my swing transformed in 10 days” and I go into detail on how it went after the first lesson!
@@ErndogGolf I tried this out today and didn’t get on too well. I tried pointing the handle right of the target on the downswing and then aiming to swing across and high. Some were ok but quite a few shanks, like, right off the heel. The ones I hit ok went straight but to the right. Is that what yours did? Cos we didn’t see your ball flight.
@@ErndogGolf I think maybe your swing is better (than mine) in the first place and you have more skill to be able to modify it under instruction. I won’t give up though 👍🏻
I know this is an old video but when you swing too first base would the face be open to target more now and then you need to close the face more. The effect of the swing direction being to the right
Watch the whole video! He talks about face to path relationship when hitting a draw. It needs to be half the path. If your path is 5* in to out, your club face needs to be 2.5* open to your target line (or closed to your path)
@@ErndogGolf I did lol I I know it needs to be half the path , I’m saying if you swing to the right will this cause the face to be more open to the target ? Causing you to need to close the face more
I'm a little confessed on the concept for the push draw, at set up your square to your target line, body and club face, then you swing in to out, on the path you want. at inpat your face is square to the path. am i right so far?, and what closes the face? is it the release of the club with your arms? thanks in advance.
Hi Steve, you’re right! Feet are square to target, path comes in-to-out (Zach has me trying to come in 5 degrees in to out to your target line), and the face is closed to your path but still open to your target line (Zach has me at 2.5 degrees open). The ball will start out as a push and draw back towards the target
@@ErndogGolf i was hitting the draw for the first time ever on the range this week and it was the best feeling ever, i didnt want to stop incase i lost the feeling lol. my curves were very different in size but i figured id work on that later just get the feeling down first.. Thank you so much for your journey i am following with great interest and following as best i can. Massive tks to the Doc, he is a legend.
@@stevewherry6205 that’s awesome Steve! Hitting draws is a fantastic feeling. Glad you’re enjoying the journey! Please keep me updated on how yours goes as well!

So when you’re halfway down in the downswing, and your shaft is parallel to the ground, wherever the butt of the club is pointing will determine your path.
