You know 95% of golf tips, drills, et al, don’t click with me. But where you demonstrated keeping body centered during the swing clicked. I went hit about 20 balls with my irons and got instant results. Even helped the driver, thanks!
Hey Eric. Just wanted to say thanks. I had been having trouble hitting behind the ball. I knew all about keeping centered but was still having problems. But thanks to you all is well. One place I didn't check was rotation thru impact. I hit it far and have fast hips but I wasn't turning thru completely. Thanks man, huge improvement. Love your site. Mark
Very nice simplification of risk involved in shifting axis to right versus keeping it more neutral. For those of us that don’t get to play very often, simplicity is the key factor, best to keep the axis in the middle versus shifting to the right...less chance for mistakes, such as hitting behind the ball or hitting it thin. Really good explanation. Thanks very much!
There are hundreds of things that can result in a fat shot. There’s no easy fix. It’s about practice and development of hand eye coordination. In other words being able to deliver the club face to intended point while not thinking about what body parts are doing while you are swinging 100 miles an hour.

I agree about no quick fix. As a high handicapper I am always seeking a fix all drill. Practice doesn't work unless you know what you are doing wrong. I give you one example. Try keeping a soccer ball in the air using just feet and head. I guarantee unless you have great balance and coordination you won't be keeping it up for long. Golf is a very difficult game unless you have never tried it
Very good basic instruction. So much golf instruction tries to be transformative. The basics are always best and easiest to adapt. Also, that’s a beautiful place to hit golf balls. Looks like Penn or upstate NY
1st....this is probably the best video i have seen about how to avoid hitting behind the ball...very well explained . 2nd ...watching this video in 1.25 speed made it easier to understand the video. 1 complaint about instructions videos is the narrator sometimes get to long winded, be precise and to the point ,avoid narration clutter.
Thank You! You nailed one of my big problems. I have been taught to "stay behind the ball>" Had inconsistent striking. I am definitely going to give this a go. (Note: I was told that getting ahead of the ball was cause of chicken wing.) But your demo clearly show that I must rotate as well as shift a little to the left.
Performance Golf Zone I went out on the course tonight after going on the range yesterday, I hit the ball the best I've hit it in ages, thanks for the tip 👍 I play off 11 but finished 3 over par after 9 holes tonight

Thanks Eric great instruction and drill - also do you believe in the squat just prior to the downswing- maybe you can discuss during your Monday’s “live” show. I really enjoy our videos.
Yeah, good lesson here. Nice broad spectrum truth that we can't argue with - ball first contact. Good focal point and a couple ways to get there. I like it. Flat left wrist drill is another good one on you tube, emphasizing the same point. Cheers
Thank you for the tips! Would it be good practicing off the mat for this drill though? I feel like the ground is less forgiving when you hit a fat shot
I have had 3 lower back surgeries and now have a foot drop on my left foot. I must wear an air cast on my left ankle to prevent me from rolling my ankle. I therefore have problems getting my weight shifted to my left side and hit a lot of fat shots. Any suggestions for me?
Great video. I struggle with keeping relaxed and making solid contact on chip shots. With feet close together and more room for error using the bounce it’s going to help. With the practice I’ve done thus far it is a change to have to aim left of target. I have looked but haven’t been successful in finding a good video that shows down the line hit and contact. Would appreciate that with any future videos of Eric with Mary’s excellent recording skills. Thanks again for moving me toward better chipping and away from hitting thin low double bogey creating bullets across the green. Those are the worst.
Great Video I constantly struggle with this off 5 H/cap. Is early release not also a factor? Or is your point that if the weight is forward with more turn then early release will not effect the low point????

hi again mark c , I used to play with a guy off 20 h/c and if a high score for him like 9,10 , on opening hole its or that's it might as well go in , I on the other hand laugh it off and think I've x amount of shots therefore it's a 10 say with a shot so 5 over with 17 holes to get 5 back , it's when 12 over I just have a crack .paul
Stupid question I'm sorry the towel makes the backswing steep are you not supposed to take the club back low to the ground I like your video a lot from South Africa

You have to be able to swing through the ball without any tension. Same as if you were swinging through the air towards the target. Don’t fight the body
on your comments on do I or not gimmie a put in matchplay well !! I keep them off balance . If they are stroking it well I wont give it if they are hit and miss I'll give some and if they miss first putt then front 9 I'll give most but back 9 nothing. after all it's a match and I'm here to win.
hi ya mark c you play in glasses like me and other players , can you help us ? my last match for the club made me feel ashamed because of the dam rain , for 14 holes I hit the ball well but where it went not a clue . putting was crap .

Yes I agree these are physical body positions, but I find the biggest culprit is the mindset of hitting 'at' the ball and not thru the ball. How do I cure that thought pattern?
Shaft has little to do with fat or thin shots. First, your shaft should be appropriate for your swing speed. Second, you should use the shaft that feels best for you. Unless you are trying for your tour card, I don't think it's necessary to go through the expense of a professional fitting and subsequent experimentation. Pros have the time and money for such. And there is nothing wrong if you downswing is steep (actually that should be a plus) providing the other fundamentals are sound. And most important, make sure your having fun.
Why this teacher avoids "keeping the head down" and it's vital importance is a mystery. Raising the head before impact is likely the leading cause of a fat shot.
I wish he had explained the how to of weight shift, which is vital, and I give him credit for that point. But "rotation" is double edged. First, rotation can only assist a good swing; it doesn't make one. And it is dangerously double edged, in that if overdone, it can cause horrific over the top shots, and worse yet, the dreaded shank. Am I allowed to say the word "shank" publicly?
hello sir free sample we are manufacturer golf gloves, cap, shirts, and unifrom 100% quality and very best price please check our quality my whatsapp number 00923061473272
This teacher makes the subject a little more complicated than it really is. Although his fundamentals are correct, (with the exception of the rotation), I don't feel they are in the best order. The problem with rotation is, that if you start the swing with a rotation, it increases the chance of a mishit (of all sorts). Also, the all important weight shift how-to-do is not explained for the beginner, or high handicapper. Also, he totally avoids the most important functions of a good swing, and that is the swing rhythm and keeping the head down..
I don't believe that major winners with all different types of swings and body motions, focus on their body. They focus on the task of hitting the ball with the select club a certain distance and direction. It's hand eye coordination, that controls the swing and the body movement. It does not work backwards. There are many studies that prove this blame the body parts idea as false. Just curios. What major winners are you referring to? People get in trouble when they try to learn somebodies else swing, This is pretty much impossible. I know many people who went to golf instructions to fix a particular problem and came out over all much worse.
Mil Sneler If you ALREADY have learned the movement then you don't need to think about body motions. Think about anything you know how to do....brush your teeth for example. Ever think about those body motions? Of course not, your brain knows it. Automatic. Now how about playing the guitar? What if you have never played? Can you just not think and play? Or when learning must someone think about their body motions to play? THEN after thousands of hours of practice MAYBE they can think less and less. The idea that you can do that right away for people who make "in correct" swings and dont get good results can just not think about body motions is just in correct.
Fun Fact: It is allmost impossible to hit it fat if your swingthought is working "to the target" instead of "to the ground" (here a point behind the ball), just saying :D Learn from the Matrix's Oracle: "There is no ball!(spoon)" You are mentioning, that you want your students to repeat it 4-5 times without stopping. THAT is why your fix works, as the students get a realization of what the club WILL do in an uncontrolled situation (like their golf swing) and how to let it work properly to not loose balance and create a lot of speed. If you learn that, you won't ask for more consistancy
This is terribly frustrating to watch. If a player is hitting behind the ball, he’s very likely casting the club. None of these drills address that problem. Instead, they encourage the player to hold the club off longer, leaving them less time to square the face up by impact.
Another Dodo bird golf instructor making things difficult. Good grip. Good setup. Left shoulder higher than right. Head behind the ball. Butt end of the iron ahead of the ball at setup. Swing, keeping your head behind the ball and make sure that, at impact, your head is still behind the ball and the butt end of the club is ahead of the ball. Simple. Forget the garbage this guy is spewing.
james63925 Just the opposite. If you keep your head behind the ball throughout the backswing and into impact your hips will turn automatically. You won't even have to think about it. Punch in any tour pro's swing here on RUclips and look at it from a side view. Head will be significantly behind ball at impact and if they are striking an iron the butt of their shaft will be leaning ahead of the ball at impact. (that lowers the loft of the iron and compresses the ball better and encourages ball first contact- low point of the divot should be in front of the ball). With a driver, of course, the shaft will be about even with the ball at impact. (because they want to strike the ball slightly on the upswing with a driver. Good luck and avoid these hack golf pros confusing advice..
@@joej2435 - Joe would you mind giving us a clue about the basis for your being confident in the very hostile discrediting of this teacher? Just asking
@@carlcampbell6827 Try what I said to do and then try (if you can even remember) everything that he is telling you to do. See what works best. These guys are all about drills and telling you what to do but not telling exactly how to do it. Simply keeping your head behind the ball with the setup I suggested will accomplish the weight transfer and ball first contact that his vid is trying to accomplish and is a lot easier to understand. He'll have you taking multiple lessons. That's his goal.

As soon as he said to shift to the left on the downswing I could hear Bobby Lopez yelling, "Offsides!" :)
Any shaft recommends for steep hitters that have this issue.
I would recommend going to get fit. A good clubfitter will know what you need exactly. To many options out there to just guess unfortunately!
Shaft has little to do with fat or thin shots. First, your shaft should be appropriate for your swing speed. Second, you should use the shaft that feels best for you. Unless you are trying for your tour card, I don't think it's necessary to go through the expense of a professional fitting and subsequent experimentation. Pros have the time and money for such.

Yeah I like to hit the ball from the front but I seem to never get to the hole.
I chunked multiples this weekend hitting behind the ball
Let's fix that up man!
@@CogornoGolf i'm definitely too far right after giving this a good watch.
You can also look at the ground just in front of the ball to eliminate fat shots
would it help to have a slightly open stance so your chest is facing the right way at address
glad to see Tony Romo found something he's much better at.
I like how you should feel 50/50 at the top of the swing.
very nice thank you!! 2019!! :)
Eric just a note and comment please. I address the ball maybe 55-45/60-40 favoring my left side. Reverse K. Should I lose that?
If you're right handed it's ok as long as you use that pressure on the lead foot to help initiate the backswing turn.
Thx Eric. It just helps keep me centered of the ball.
Can you do a video how to rotate without coming over the top
You want to rotate....the key is learning to shallow the arms/club with that rotation. Start with the how to hit a draw video
chubby chequer hh
Good luck for saying that
This is my struggle!
It is a pity that the sub titles in English is covering the view of the shot and the ball
Sorry about that, will see if we can fix moving forward
I saw what you are saying, but you can click/turn it off by clicking on the CC (closed captions). At least that works for me.
Just switch it OFF? It's the small icon on the right, bottom right side!
When I try doing this I hit the ball super low and into the ground, it seems like there’s no in between
Why this teacher avoids "keeping the head down" and it's vital importance is a mystery. Raising the head before impact is likely the leading cause of a fat shot.
Instructions unclear, ended breaking neighbor’s window
Lol
Mr.Leone - Tell me what the heck a cluless golfer is doing practicing hitting balls around houses and people?
That would be great but how do I keep from hitting myself in the ankle? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wish he had explained the how to of weight shift, which is vital, and I give him credit for that point. But "rotation" is double edged.

This wouldn’t matter if u release the club too early u will still hit it fat if u move more to the left

Annoying that the text covers the ball. It's a waste because you can't see what this guy is teaching
I rarely hit behind the ball on the range, but on the course it's a constant fear.
Hopefully this drill helps eliminate that fear!
The best way to stop hitting behind the ball is to not swing the club. LOL.
I missed the easy fix? Focusing on the body parts will never work.
Thats in correct....I have hundreds of examples of players focusing on their body motions and playing better...both beginners and major winners
I don't believe that major winners with all different types of swings and body motions, focus on their body. They focus on the task of hitting the ball with the select club a certain distance and direction. It's hand eye coordination, that controls the swing and the body movement.

The idea that you can do that right away for people who make "in correct" swings and dont get good results can just not think about body motions is just in correct.
Playing guitar is a wrong example. Swinging a club is a natural motion, just like walking.
Studies don't lie. Focusing on body parts does not work. Golf is the worst taught sport in the whole world. There is nothing like it.

He'll have you taking multiple lessons. That's his goal.
