One of my favorite videos from you . Great job.. one thing I’m Learning after 45 years of golfing.. is there is a huge difference between what the pros do versus us. It’s almost like you need to be a teacher who shows amateurs a completely different way of doing things. We don’t have 10 hrs a day available to change ingrained swing issues that hat have been there for decades
Yes! This is one of the reasons I started this channel. I wanted to at least give some realistic expectations to anyone looking to improve their game on what to expect based on their ability and time! The second one being the most important.
That was a fun exercise. Interesting to see how your trained eye goes to different parts of the swing compared to the instructor. Even I could immediately see that the golfer with too much knee flex had posture issues and needed to reduce his knee flex and stand taller. The first step would be to correct his posture, and then begin to work on the other parts of his golf swing.
I did a demo lesson at golftec where the coach toyed with my path to hit a draw and he got all excited. The whole thing ended with a sales pitch on a white board, he'd knock 7 stokes off my game for $5.5K.
Oh man…that is a little sad to see. A little story when I was with golftec a long time ago, I inherited a student who was a lovely man, hard working, loved golf, but had zero athletic ability, and a body like a 2x4. I have never seen someone who deserved a great swing more than this gentleman, but I have also never seen someone with very little athleticism. Long story short, he bought a 52 lesson series (once a week) for quite a hefty sum. I inherited him with one a few months left. It was corporates goal for us to keep them there as long as we could at the time, and they were pushing me to re up the package. Well at the end of his lesson series, I sat him down and he was excited to go over his year end review, and he was prepared and willing to reup. I pulled up his very first swing, and his very last swing, and honestly it was hard to tell them apart. I told him to please save his money, take his family on a vacation with that money, and just enjoy golf with what he had. I could for the life of me ask him to pay another arm and a leg for very little results. A few months later he called me and thanked me for my honesty, and said he is enjoying golf much more as there is much less pressure on him now after someone got a bit more real about his abilities. Sometimes this business model can be frustrating.
😂 yeah don’t get me wrong for the right student and situation I can see it may work. It’s a numbers game really. Blanket the market with a philosophy and it will surely work for some.
Dawg... im not a great golfer but I am considering taking the pat maybe next year so I can possibly take an early retirement in 7-10 years and working in the golf industry. I've been playing a couple of strokes better latley, and have dropped half a stroke in the last month. The 2 things I'm focusing in with my iron swing is keeping my head slightly behind the ball at impact, and hitting myself in the right asscheek with the clubhead on my finish. These 2 things have noticeable taken my gir up quite a bit in the last month... not things I've been trying to do... I focus on plane and shot type before the swing. Just things I'm noticing when I hit very good shots. Without seeing my swing, do these 2 things tell you anything. I'm considering a lesson/analysis this winter. Be cool pimp
@liongolfacademy Look at Robert Rock’s swing and analyze it. Alot of shaftlean should make a great video. There is not a ton on him but a few from like 2017-2020.
Come on GolfTEC, those knees on the second guy. He shouldn't even be allowed to perform a takeaway, unless coach thinks the student is going to take himself away
Yeah it looked a little odd to me 😂I like that saying you have, should be a bumper sticker “don’t take away unless you want me away” or something like that.
It has to do with the amount of lessons and storage. Each student has a dedicated webpage they login in to. EVERY lesson MUST have a recorded overview of what was taught, including an attached drill, and the video overview of the lesson must be around 2 minutes. Its company policy and they spot check lessons to make sure there is a recording. They have taught millions of lessons as a company and it’s purely for uploading speed, and also data storage. In order to do this the upload quality gets reduced.

Thanks Steven! I appreciate the comment and feedback.

@@liongolfacademyyou’re a good guy Tony. You’ve got scruples and that matters a lot. Good for you.
Thanks Doc! Just treat people right and business and relationships will take care of itself. Appreciate it!
Never even heard of golftec. But now that I have, I kind of wish I hadn’t.

😂 if it works keep it up! Can’t tell much without a video however.

Thanks for the heads up! I will research it and see what I can find!

Why does their footage always look like it was taken from a 90's blockbuster security cam?
