Jimmy. I am back after trying your swing thoughts and mechanics for 9 holes. For every shot except one my ball went straight and long. It was almost an effort less feel. Thank you so much. I am fan for life.
I focused on this today at the range and OMG, what a game changer. Thank you so much for sharing this. Today I hit my 8i 175 yards. My typical distance with this club is 140 yds. Simply awesome tip!!
There is actually a tip that changed mine. The first four inches of the take-away is ultra critical just as Nicklaus insisted all of his life. He never told why. It is because it is the only place in your swing where you can start the club back with your big body trunk muscles. Once past that point it is too late. The arms and shoulders did it and the swing from there is all timing. Timing never lasts even from the range to the first tee. The touring pros call it being "connected". (body to arms and shoulders). Once skilled at this, the need for timing is reduced by about 90 percent. It actually is not easy to do because most people have done it wrong all of their life.
No BS man, I watch a lot of golf videos. More than you should probably. But you have made 3 short videos that gave me what I wanted, a simple repeatable easy golf swing. I have taken 8 strokes off my game so far. Today I played 18 holes without going into the water or a bunker, that’s never happened since I moved to Myrtle Beach SC. What changes did I implement was this. 1. the head stays behind the ball during impact and swing up not around to my left. 2. rotate my hips back in the backswing then toward the target in the downswing. 3 at the top of my backswing the butt of the club down towards the ground, and on the downswing aim the club butt toward the target. That’s changed everything for me. Thank you man, your videos were a real no BS simple fix for my swing…
Jimmy is what all non pro golfers need to hear. Absolutely in a few vids and a few rounds, I'm in and closer to 70's than the 90's. A few 79's, a 78, and a few low 80's. 5 or 6 rounds in, so consistent, so effortless, so simple. Jimmy is a gem
Yup, of course just watching the blurr of your practice swing tells you where your swing is going. Just swinging like your throwing your club to the target helps keep your head still and behind the ball at address. Keeping your head down is a misnomer. You only keep your head back. Just saying keep your head down, and most beginners try to keep their head down through the entire swing which is a swing killer. Keep your head back but allow it to rotate with your shoulders as you throw the club through the target like you naturally do if you’re target oriented.
I’ve always had a problem with keep your head down on a full swing. It’s a swing killer. Jimmy doesn’t do it. His head follows the ball like it should after impact and towards the target. Swing like you are throwing to club towards the target does everything for you.
Many thanks. This makes perfect sense! I had the same experience yesterday. Once I got a lost ball off a tee and subsequent double-bogey I started to look up to see where the ball was going for the rest of the round, not realizing what I was doing. Instead of going back to keeping it simple I was swamped with swing thoughts - and of course, disaster.
Sir, you are absolutely correct, (and I have difficulty with moving my head). I watched some golf tips from the great Bobby Jones, and I was amazed, his head NEVER moves!
Great Tips. I need this. On a side note about the putting: Gary Player once gave the following putting tip: When you putt LISTEN for the ball to fall into the cup. He said: so many players hear me but they need to LISTEN for the ball to hit the bottom of the cup.
You are the “everyday man” golfers instructor. Practical, simple and with no preconceived notions that the average golfer will shoot in the 70’s. I’d love to but realistically it would be easier for me to win the lottery. Than you!
Excellent instruction. After over 30 yrs. as an instructor. I would say many instructors are afraid to say keep your head down. But they need to say keep your head down and show pictures of Pros that drop down on their down swing when they strike the ball. On putting keep it still and down until the ball is a count of 2 toward the hole.
Agree. I couldn’t hit my driver until I learned to stay behind the ball, keep head still, and definitely NO swaying. I went from 120’s to low 90’s. Been playing for two years.
Very similar to my situation. Was shooting high 70s-low 80s then my game fell apart...either dead pulls left or off the planet slices and completely lost my touch on the greens. For the life of me I couldn't figure out why. Thankfully, an older, wiser playing partner noticed my head turning with my swing and kindly told me so. Bingo! Instant fix and happy golfer once again. One caveat however. Don't go overboard and keep your head too rigid while swinging. It's okay to let it move some backward and forward. The key is keeping your eyes on the ball until it's well off the clubface.
Jimmy Tropicana! Wasssssssup. This happened to me some time ago and once I started doing this, my putting soared miles. Still practicing with irons and driver and making vast improvements. Love this brother! Ty
I am a 77 year old Senior. I set my goal to break 90 this year. So yesterday, I played around snow drifts and mud. I swallowed my pride and on #1 pulled out my 3 iron. At the end of 9 holes, I had shot a 44. I did used the driver on the last 3 holes because by then, I was loose enough to swing the club. Lost no balls and played in the fairway all 9 holes. WooHoo! Thanks Jimmy 😊
Went from high 80's to low 90's to high 70's very low 80's. That vid on ball position JT did INSTANTLY ended my career hook. If you haven't seen it, it seems to go against everything we've been taught, but the results are real. BEST!!
Hi Jimmy great video as usual. Just as a tip what I’m usually doing if I have messed up with my swings or putting is I make notes and go to driving range to find the way to fiz it and when I found it I will write it down in my notes, so I have many notes again and again. If we don’t document the mistakes and the correction we will forget again at some point of time😊
Great video! The only thing is that the head down idea can become a problem if you go too far with it. You can end up not releasing properly. But you’re absolutely right that you should stay in the shot through impact.
It actually does work! I've been playing like this all season and it still works. Encourages better rotation, whereas head up almost always equals EE (early extension). Good tip!
I did the same thing a month ago and shot my best golf. I liked it at the toe and stay flat all through the shot. New sub here keep it up. Love your content🔥🔥🔥
So true! On the flip side of this one could argue what’s the downside to really exaggerating keeping your head down? (There isn’t!). Thanks for sharing this gem!
Couldn't be more wrong. There are any numbers of videos on RUclips about how keeping your head down through the release is a recipe for a terrible golf swing.
Great video. Good presentation approach. Good editing. I had a good range session yesterday applying these principals and now will work on grooving this in.
Just found your channel and I have to say some of the best tips for the common golfer like me. I am trying to start playing again after about a 10 year hiatus and you show things in such a way that you don’t need to be a five star athlete to do it. Love your videos
Jimmy! The exact same thing has been happening to me man. The other day,3birds 2pars 40 on the front. On the back,6 triples on the back 56! 6 TRIPLES JIMMY! WTF? Probably doing what you said. Thanks man.
Hey man, I love the fact that you document your journey. I have a helpful tip for your putting. Keeping your head still is definitely very important and you have that right, and you're also putting with your shoulders which is correct. What you need to eliminate is the hip movement, it's like a mini version of the iron swing follow through and when putting you don't want it at all. Putting really comes down to a still head, movement with the shoulders, you should feel like a pendulum when you put, keep the legs still, keep your eye on the ground for a second after your put and lastly, reduce your follow through stroke. Your follow through stroke is a little long and that might be what is encouraging you to follow through in your hips, shorten the follow through to about 6 inches, you only need to make it longer than that if the put calls for it, which you might find a longer backswing and follow through more smooth than a shorter but more powerful movement of the shoulders. I hope this helps man, enjoy the golf!
Great tip, thanks. For me, I simply remind myself to see I strike the ball before moving my head, is this similar to this tip? Did you get on the green from the tee shot on the 12th hole 317yd par 4?
I want to thank you for your video . I feel much better about my game. I put my driver in the garage and I have been teeing off with my 3 iron . the game is much more enjoyable when you are always in play .hopefully some day I can hit my driver better but for now I am irons all the way
I'm a new golfer at age 70 as I now have the time for it in retirement. I have intentionally not taken any lessons as I learn skills by watching others, thinking about what they are doing and what I am doing. One of the first things that struck me when I started to play with some good golfers was how inconsistent they were on occasion. They would become very frustrated not knowing why. I was amazed as I assumed these folks had it dialed in and would hit it perfectly every time because I didn't know golf. But it was obvious to me it seemed but of course I didn't say anything as I'm the new guy and thought maybe your supposed to let your head and shoulders flow through the swing. But you nailed it. They would become distracted and bingo that head would turn on impact and the shoulders moved as you demonstrated. The more frustrated they became the more it would turn and they now had a dumpster fire that spiraled downward into that special place I now know exists, golf hell.
Thanks and more importantly thank you. I went out today and shot one of my best if not the best round of my short golf career with an 81. Did the waggle routine you suggest and kept my head down finishing in front instead of the usual left side. I have never hit so many greens as I did today with my approach shots and that little white ball went straight, to my utter surprise, and of course the key,: clear the mind no swing thoughts just Costco cheese pizza. It's a simple game however the cerebral cortex wants to get in the way and make it much harder.@@TropicanaEntertainment
A drill from an old golfer-- for a split second look for the color of the tee, you will never see it but your head will stay steady as you describe, for irons same thing except look for where the ball was! "divot" or fluffed grass.
hi a few years ago at the players dinner at the masters, Tiger was sitting next to Gary Player, Tiger said Mr Player im confused about my swing !!! Gary said back, "Tiger i've played with everyone, Byron Nelson. Ben Hogan, Jack, Tom Watson Nick Faldo , everyone, I've never seen In 60 years any of them turn left through the ball " a bio mechanic guy called Doctor Hurrion measured in one year all the european pga tour pros on force plates, on the down and forward swing through impact their weight went linear down the target line !! in fact the best players went 'down the line' further than the others, yes they eventually rotated left but that was after the extension down the line. cheers great video
You got a great swing! Thanks for this tip. I hit a lot of pulls and I wonder if my head is moving with my shoulders. I know I get outside to in a bit and sometimes I flip it, but I think my head is moving too much
LOL, I just suffered a 2 week gap of the same issue. Although I don't think of it the same. I think what you've really discovered is your shoulder plane was wrong. When you're hitting like Tyson your plane is horizontal, in other words your shoulders are turning more level to the ground. When you're hitting it good your shoulder plane is more in the 45*+ level...in other words your right shoulder is much lower than your left shoulder at impact. BTW it's similar with your putting. Your solution to "keep the pumpkin on the vine" (aka head down) helps to change your shoulder plane.
Dude this was fantastic, so simple and makes so much sense. BTW most of us watching this wish we could shoot your lousy scorecard lol I'm still trying to break 100 consistently😂
Like a Tyson fight...haha. I'm an excellent hooker of the golf ball. 23rd season and just learned that the head HAS to stay behind at impact, helps to maintain the spine angle. I knew to with the driver but never really did with the irons. My head always went with my shoulders, pulls and pullhooks, no fun. It has made such a huge difference. Watch any slow mo of pros and their heads are still way down long after they hit the ball. First time seeing your content, really like the approach of this video. New sub
Watched this video at random the day before a round, followed the tips and my first 9 holes gave me 2 birdies and 4 pars (and this never happens, I am/was a 20+ handicapper). Ended up scoring my best ever at that course.
So I was on a run where I was hitting my 7 iron 170- 175 yards - absolute missiles ( I am 57 years old) with an insane release. My thought was to look at the ball 3 inches behind it. Eventually, I started hooking it again. This EXPLAINS why that was working briefly. I bet once I started allowing my head to follow with my turn I was toast !! I think you are on to something. My weak 7-iron is 153-156…
whenever my game goes south, it's always because my shots go left. I always say I'm pulling the ball, Anyway, it happened again today on the practice range, I'll give your tip a try tomorrow, hopefully it's the fix I need.
What's really happening is you early extend a whole lot in your swing. Instead of standing the proper distance and early extending where you run your hands out of room you are creating more space so after you hump the ball you are back closer to where you should be. Draw a line at the back of your butt at setup and then look at how much closer you are the to the ball at impact. You are 6 to 8 inches closer to the ball.
Great tip! I saw Malaska's video on this. He prescribed keeping the brim of your cap level at impact. My straightest shots are when I follow it. Gonna take a little while to remember it for every shot but gets better every round.
I'm feeling this! Got 1,000,000 swing thoughts, and forgetting common sense. Just left the range and felt like a game changer. Thanks man!
Yup. This is the one man! Total game changer.
1 million is lots ! My head is noisy as well. Sounds like someone kicked a hornets nest up there!
That putting tip of keeping your head down saved me many strokes. Love it
Jimmy. I am back after trying your swing thoughts and mechanics for 9 holes. For every shot except one my ball went straight and long. It was almost an effort less feel. Thank you so much. I am fan for life.
Amazing. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!

Great content!
I like the tag line of “keep your spirits high and your scores low”.
Thank you
I'm fairly new, but this guy changed my game forever. He's genius.
Thanks for the tip. Reminds me of what an older gentleman told me years ago. "Look up and see a bad shot."
Never looked up and saw a good shot. -AP
This is frickn brilliant Mr Jimmy T.
I hope my group does not see this. I love this its just basic explantion without out the mumble jumble.
You are the “everyday man” golfers instructor. Practical, simple and with no preconceived notions that the average golfer will shoot in the 70’s. I’d love to but realistically it would be easier for me to win the lottery. Than you!
You never know. Keep playing. Thanks for watching
Right on! I found the same thing yesterday. My buddy commented " your head is in a vice" It works for me.
Great stuff. Thanks, Tropicana.
Thanks for watching

Hope it worked
Thank you for sharing these gems. You're a good teacher. more power to you.

head down and release. Its very hard to keep your head down "too long". Its a great thought to have. The momentum will keep you going.
It actually does work! I've been playing like this all season and it still works. Encourages better rotation, whereas head up almost always equals EE (early extension). Good tip!
Its tried and true! Enjoy!!
What a brilliant lesson....thanks sir
Best tip I’ve heard in a long time.
It really works
I did the same thing a month ago and shot my best golf. I liked it at the toe and stay flat all through the shot. New sub here keep it up. Love your content🔥🔥🔥
Thank you and welcome!
Thanks for this stellar tip my man! Literal game changer for a head bobber like myself, cheers!
It makes all the difference. Keep it DOWN!
So true! On the flip side of this one could argue what’s the downside to really exaggerating keeping your head down?
(There isn’t!). Thanks for sharing this gem!
Hope it works for you!
Couldn't be more wrong. There are any numbers of videos on RUclips about how keeping your head down through the release is a recipe for a terrible golf swing.
Absolutely. The rotation is around your spine!
Head is steady! Love it
Great video. Good presentation approach. Good editing. I had a good range session yesterday applying these principals and now will work on grooving this in.
Man this is awesome, this is the first video that actually helped me with my slice! And I have watch a #%^* load of videos! 👍🔥 Thanks for the video!
Glad I could help! Hit em straight
One of the Best Tips Have ever seen Sir,Thank You !
Hope it works for you. I cant wait to use it tomorrow.
@@TropicanaEntertainment Was out just now ,Smoking My Irons -Thank You again!
Great video... I can definitely relate to this and will be trying it next time I'm on the range / course! 🙌
let me know!
Soooooooooooooooo true. I used to hit all my short clubs left due to this head move bs. Great tip bro.
Keep it steady!!
Just found your channel and I have to say some of the best tips for the common golfer like me. I am trying to start playing again after about a 10 year hiatus and you show things in such a way that you don’t need to be a five star athlete to do it. Love your videos
Great video! loved your funny take on the problem. Most of us really do have that problem.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You've come a long way in the game, Tropicana. Good job!
Thanks brotha!
You are fun to watch!!!🎉
Jimmy! The exact same thing has been happening to me man. The other day,3birds 2pars 40 on the front. On the back,6 triples on the back 56! 6 TRIPLES JIMMY! WTF? Probably doing what you said. Thanks man.
if you shot 3 birds on the front and still couldnt break 40, the triples represent a return to normalcy.
Thanks for info Perro! Good stuff!!
New subscriber. So far, I like what I am seeing. Let's go.
Many years ago, Lee Trevino said, "get behind the ball and stay behind the ball." I don't know why I keep forgetting that!
Lee knows best!
Jack would agree. He stressed that head movement was the #1 killer of a good golf swing.
Jack is a legend for a reason!
Hey man, I love the fact that you document your journey. I have a helpful tip for your putting.
Keeping your head still is definitely very important and you have that right, and you're also putting with your shoulders which is correct.
What you need to eliminate is the hip movement, it's like a mini version of the iron swing follow through and when putting you don't want it at all.

I hope this helps man, enjoy the golf!
I will try it. The less you do in golf, the better. Thanks for watching.
Agreed, I've found you have to practice one thing until it becomes automatic @@TropicanaEntertainment 👍
Great tip, thanks. For me, I simply remind myself to see I strike the ball before moving my head, is this similar to this tip? Did you get on the green from the tee shot on the 12th hole 317yd par 4?
negative. I usually hit an iron to the middle of the fairway.
You are the man keep them tips coming 👏
thanks!
absolutely true, if I am too close to the ball specially with the driver I hook immediately the ball
Great tips!!!!!
Best tip I’ve literally ever heard
Its a good one man. Enjoy
Head down and a perfect takeaway are the only swing thoughts I try to let enter my brain.
Thats a great swing thought!
an added bonus for me, when I stand slightly farther away, it helps me extend my arms better. thanks
I want to thank you for your video . I feel much better about my game. I put my driver in the garage and I have been teeing off with my 3 iron . the game is much more enjoyable when you are always in play .hopefully some day I can hit my driver better but for now I am irons all the way
Glad it helped. Stay with it.
Ok - gonna focus on this tomorrow morning.

Straight up & simple!
True!
Good one..this has been my problem, I will definitely give this a try 😅
Great. Let me know how it works!
Works great, thanks heaps
I'm hitting more greens, fairways in regulation
Just need a little bit of fine tuning, but otherwise, I'm very confident now
Great video. You earned a new subscriber 💯💪🏽
Thank you and welcome aboard
Excellent tips i think you've really found something
Life is easy, golf is hard.
A drill from an old golfer-- for a split second look for the color of the tee, you will never see it but your head will stay steady as you describe, for irons same thing except look for where the ball was! "divot" or fluffed grass.
Effective, simple advice. Well done. BTW - I've always like your style of swing over Manolo's, less complexity for me.
We have diff styles but I’ve learned listening to him.
Damn good tip!! Thanks man
It works man!!
Excellent!!!👍💥
Great advice!
hi a few years ago at the players dinner at the masters, Tiger was sitting next to Gary Player, Tiger said Mr Player im confused about my swing !!! Gary said back, "Tiger i've played with everyone, Byron Nelson. Ben Hogan, Jack, Tom Watson Nick Faldo , everyone, I've never seen In 60 years any of them turn left through the ball " a bio mechanic guy called Doctor Hurrion measured in one year all the european pga tour pros on force plates, on the down and forward swing through impact their weight went linear down the target line !! in fact the best players went 'down the line' further than the others, yes they eventually rotated left but that was after the extension down the line. cheers great video
You got a great swing! Thanks for this tip. I hit a lot of pulls and I wonder if my head is moving with my shoulders. I know I get outside to in a bit and sometimes I flip it, but I think my head is moving too much
A moving head causes the shoulders to move, causing the ball to go left. Hope this helps
In golf there is a different swing thought every day if you are a higher caliber player. This applies to top notch professionals and amateurs
LOL, I just suffered a 2 week gap of the same issue. Although I don't think of it the same. I think what you've really discovered is your shoulder plane was wrong. When you're hitting like Tyson your plane is horizontal, in other words your shoulders are turning more level to the ground. When you're hitting it good your shoulder plane is more in the 45*+ level...in other words your right shoulder is much lower than your left shoulder at impact. BTW it's similar with your putting. Your solution to "keep the pumpkin on the vine" (aka head down) helps to change your shoulder plane.
Great advice…. Just wondering where you keep most of your weight on your feet
Heels and front foot
You do a great job of explaining things.
Thank you. Hope it works for
You
Pivot movement over a central stable axis. Same thing taught in baseball.
now i know why Jim Venetos screams about being STILL! Thankyou!!!!Keep that head still!!!!!cant wait to tr this tomorrow!!!!
LOL thank you I was doing the same thing I took your tip kept my head still and bingo straight and long
Boom!!!!
Release is at shortstop not third base, easy to remember
Dude this was fantastic, so simple and makes so much sense. BTW most of us watching this wish we could shoot your lousy scorecard lol I'm still trying to break 100 consistently😂
This tip will help you shoot the score that you want. Practice it slow at first
Like a Tyson fight...haha.
I'm an excellent hooker of the golf ball. 23rd season and just learned that the head HAS to stay behind at impact, helps to maintain the spine angle. I knew to with the driver but never really did with the irons. My head always went with my shoulders, pulls and pullhooks, no fun. It has made such a huge difference. Watch any slow mo of pros and their heads are still way down long after they hit the ball. First time seeing your content, really like the approach of this video. New sub
Its all in the head! Welcome to
The channel!
On short putts try to hear it hit the bottom of the cup before you look at the hole. Wait for the sound
I have been struggling with the same problem, this might be the solution to my problem
Do it slow. It works
Best information out there. 👍
Great tip!!!
Glad it helped!
Watched this video at random the day before a round, followed the tips and my first 9 holes gave me 2 birdies and 4 pars (and this never happens, I am/was a 20+ handicapper). Ended up scoring my best ever at that course.
Wow. Thats epic man. Congrats!!!
Wow
Fantastic
thanks for watching
kudos
great video.
Thanks for the visit
So I was on a run where I was hitting my 7 iron 170- 175 yards - absolute missiles ( I am 57 years old) with an insane release. My thought was to look at the ball 3 inches behind it. Eventually, I started hooking it again. This EXPLAINS why that was working briefly. I bet once I started allowing my head to follow with my turn I was toast !! I think you are on to something. My weak 7-iron is 153-156…
Nice work!
Are you rocking the 8802 putter?
Of course. Classics never die.
@@TropicanaEntertainment Heck yeah! I rock the same putter....just got it a week ago.
whenever my game goes south, it's always because my shots go left. I always say I'm pulling the ball, Anyway, it happened again today on the practice range, I'll give your tip a try tomorrow, hopefully it's the fix I need.
It works. Keep that left arm close to the body and ball cant go left.
Thanks for the tip Perro🤙😎💪

What's really happening is you early extend a whole lot in your swing. Instead of standing the proper distance and early extending where you run your hands out of room you are creating more space so after you hump the ball you are back closer to where you should be. Draw a line at the back of your butt at setup and then look at how much closer you are the to the ball at impact. You are 6 to 8 inches closer to the ball.
That is true also but keeping my head still calms my early extension also
Bingo. Look at the setup of tour players. The exagerrated distance from the ball and head down is a band-aid for a stall and early extend pattern.
You go where you look.... learned that in motorcycle racing.. look left..go left
Ya heard!!!
Me gusta!
Gracias
If only there was no snow on the ground i would be on the range testing this out.
Indoor simulators!!! Let me know if it works
Great tip! I saw Malaska's video on this. He prescribed keeping the brim of your cap level at impact. My straightest shots are when I follow it. Gonna take a little while to remember it for every shot but gets better every round.
