    I watched this video and found that my swing errors were very similar to the student's and would rewatch particular sections like the lag drill, then paused the video and did the drills and then struck balls in my living room net setup. So rather than trying to recall what I was learning and then taking that to the range, I was able to get immediate results in both my swing arc and ball striking. So I can definitely say this video highly resonated with me more than almost any other instructional video out there! I would love it if you guys could get Cameron to do another similar video but with the driver so that we can see how these same principles can be applied to the driver swing.

    Fantastic to see this interaction with a top level coach and a good player. I am a similar handicap but my interactions with coaches (only two or three times) were not like this. Seems the instructors I have experienced didn't ask as many questions as Cameron (assuming to understand and access the issues) and didn't explain the game plan to meet the objective. Wish I could work with Cameron. Hook'em \m/

    This has many gold nuggets for me. As a right hander who plays golf left handed, I see some common flaws in our swings. I tend to pull hook or pull and also sometimes hit pushes. Fat shots are my worst contact with an occasional thin shot. My right arm tends to lose extension at top of back swing. Thanks for posting this!

  • @ruatoomey9107

    It’s amazing really, I play left handed and my miss with driver is draw to snap hook. However I have great lag with my irons and at 1 stage would barely touch the ground but had fantastic contact. My swing path is way in to out. Is this my problem does anyone know

    Oh wow. I need lessons! When my iron swing has width and natural lag I have shot under par. When I swing longer and faster (it feels faster and more free) I can shoot 15 over! Ironically these shorter Sergio like irons come in the Winter when I have multiple layers on so.I can't over bend the rear arm! Problem solved. Wear more clothes while golfing and risk heat stroke?

    • @nicholasdemetriades9154
      @nicholasdemetriades9154 10 месяцев назад

      Do it in super slow motion! Then slow motion. Then a bit faster. Next use something bigger than a golf ball. I use lacrosse balls with an old 8 iron but make sure you are strong enough to handle this because its not easy! Tennis balls are good to feel like you are really swinging through the ball If you don't you will hit shorter pop ups.

    I think all golf instructors should be addressed as Sir or Ma’am , gives a sense of respect and gravitas to the lesson.
    Can’t wait to show the due deference to my tutor... he will think I’m taking the piss 😁.
    Seriously good content , I like the relationship between lag angle and divot position. I guess you have to be pretty loose to get that shaft angle increasing after transition.
    I also liked he didn’t tinker with the students grip or stance.

    No attempt to identify the true cause of the mistakes. The fact that the real reason for the swing issues wasn’t addressed is mind blowing. This was great insight into the lack of understanding of the laws of spinal motion is remarkable.

  • @GarryLindsay1
    @GarryLindsay1 10 месяцев назад

    He still was very trail arm collapsed at the top of his backswing, even at the end. He will regress. He needs to hit partial bunty 4 irons 100-150 yds for hours on the range, high/low, fade, draw. Most people fail because they try to hit the ball at > 90% of their max power as beginners. Everything is then a compensation and they ingrain these compensations. Golfers should not be allowed on the course for years until they have perfected partial shots, turned up the length of the swing and nothing changes as they turn more! However, we know this will never happen! Playing golf, 30-40 full shots, takes 5 hours. Spend that time on the range you can get to 1000 balls! Think about that!

    • @nicholasdemetriades9154
      @nicholasdemetriades9154 10 месяцев назад

      Yep. Reps can make you a lot better! Unless you change your swing too many times and try every swing theory for the past 100 years. Makes for some interesting disparities in scoring to say the least.

    Shame about the student's cold that he had to keep snorting. I couldn't watch the whole video. However he listened and acted upon good clear instruction. First thing I would have attended to is his grip. Looked very much like the club was in the palm of his bottom hand rather than fingers. Plus he sets up with club quite vertical. Be curious what a little more shaft lean at address might have done for him in terms of feel and understanding the concepts the teacher was discussing.

The student is acting like he is happy but in reality he is hating himself for not speaking honestly. Get off the range you lazy teacher! I’m serious. You have the money and time. Solve the golf course problem not the range session problem.
