Hi Sophie, I watched your video and went to the range to work on it, after a while it just worked for me. My USGA Hcp. index is 13.5, I played in my league yesterday evening (9 holes) and totally committed to my new swing, I shot 37 one over par, you are my favorite coach, Thank you so much.
This is the best instructional video I have seen to date. Expertly demonstrated and with some great swing thoughts. Subscribed, and can’t wait to watch more…… especially putting advice. I have just had 9 holes at a small local course where I’m working, and wow…. Simple, effective and absolutely fantastic. Thanks Sophie…. More please!!
Hi, you might have just saved my sanity. I had a 4 handicap from 2017 - 2022. Last year I didn't play much because i need a partial knee replacement. I had the knee replacement December 12th of 2023, and I am now back to 100%. Only problem is I forgot how to hit a golf ball. Courses I use to shoot 75 on I am shooting 104. I have actually lost my love for the game. I am retired and work at a golf course and 3 different pros have worked with me and when they are with me I am hitting it great. Next day I am alone, and I lose it. They didn't give me any drill to use. I know I had to be coming over the top because I am hitting everything 30 yards left of my target. Your idea to put the alignment stick in a golf bucket over the ball has changed my life!!! I can't believe how I am hitting it and I even use it in my net at home. (Don't tell the course I stole a range bucket) Thank you thank you thank you.
Any advise on the club face as when I tried all this I either didn’t close it & they went off right or I closed too quick and the draw was extreme to the left - great vid 👏
I can hit from the inside with all of my wedges and irons - even my 3 hybrid. but I can't, for the life of me, get my driver going in to out. Maybe a mental thing as the club is longer so it feels like I am going to hit the ground behind the ball? I don't know. Have any drills specifically for driver?
Tremendous lesson vid. Concerning driver. I set up with my back almost to the target. Weird setup but it worked because it forced me to have that perfect inside out path. Good contact and distance. Talk about this please. Much appreciated
I had a first lesson today with a PGA coach who went straight into this in to out method. He certainly confused me as I need consistant striking first. Thank you Sophie, a great video and explaination, and another great use for a range bucket besides holding balls. 👍
AH! the SOPHIE. The lady I have seen that uses the club head better than anyone else on the LPGA tour. not the most powerful golfer but a great example of how to use the head of the club to hit the ball. Now a great asset on the LPGA tour media coverage. Thumbed up.
Hi Sophie, can you do a video on how to do a power fade for driver or irons. I really like your instructional videos, will apply them on my next practice session and game. Thanks.
No need for apologies, we all have to start somewhere. It’s because it is incredibly hard to do and more importantly, consistently repeat. This is because the golf swing is actually a circle. I’ve struggled with consistency on and off for a while, my default being over the top or ‘out to in’, which results in a slice with a driver and hitting behind or ‘fat’ shots with the irons. This looks like a good instructional video. Good luck, hope it goes well. 😊
Great Sophie. But i m bit confused as others are telling for low and left side exit on follow through. Whereas you are telling for in to out right side exit. Your way is giving good result. But most pros exiting left. What to do
Hi Sophie. Dropping arms when turned in backswing and putting pressure into left foot but still struggle. Could it be I am not engaging hip turn? Great videos. Alan in Bristol (75 yrs)
Thank you so much for this video. I've watched countless videos trying to understand where my swing is going wrong. This video was able to explain to me in each part of the swing, on what I was doing wrong, as well as the actual idea of the swing, which I had the wrong interpretation of.
Thankyou very much Sophie this made perfect sense to me I was smashing my 8 iron 150ythats that's like 30y more than usual it had the most lovly draw rite on to my target line can't believe you got me drawing the ball instantly I've only been playing a few months so much appreciated
Just one note... ive had lessons to create a draw. Now it's all starting to come together. I can't get a grip on where to start my line . I'm a lefty and hit 7 iron 160 and a 6 180 But suffering my HCP due to start line. Any ideas please
you need to mention that your clubface should point where you you want the ball to go, in order to hit a draw- and not aligned with your feet and shoulders

That's what we're here for - to make golf tuition simple and easy for amateurs!

My PGA pro taught me this. It really works if I exaggerate the feel. You explain it very well!
Excellent breakdown of the key points ❤

Yes indeed that last drill was a game changer! My wrist and golf game thank you for all the great lessons Sophie!
Thanks for sharing your feedback Kelly - much appreciated!

Thanks Sophie, @3.45 finally I GOT IT, drop my arms an hands DOWN.....YES YES brilliant I am so 😊, cheers from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
good info, thnx for the help.
Love your lessons! ❤️
Thank you Sophie.
Love that drill with the alignment stick....can't wait to try it. Thanks Sophie.

Sophie, hello! Will this drill also work with the driver or just irons only? Great video! Thank you for sharing it with us!
One of the best golf instructors on RUclips👌🏻 Do you hold tuition days Sophie?
Sophie. I get it. I got it. I tried it today and yes. Just yes!!!! Best ball striking day I’ve had. Probably ever. So far!!!!
Hi Sophie, can you do a video on how to do a power fade for driver or irons. I really like your instructional videos, will apply them on my next practice session and game. Thanks.
Why not just take it back on the same line. Sorry beginner 👍

@@robinbhairam7508 thanks I'll try and take that on board
Having very difficult time turning over the leading wrist over from the hitting position. Any help?
Rotate the forearms not the wrists
Great drills! Thank you
Thank you so much for this bed video on inside out path. Very very helpful
Great Sophie. But i m bit confused as others are telling for low and left side exit on follow through. Whereas you are telling for in to out right side exit. Your way is giving good result. But most pros exiting left. What to do
Your initial point about the right shoulder is everything I do wrong, and this has totally stopped me going over the top!
Helpful strategy thinking….which I haven’t been doing.
Could you think you have a Lazer at the butt of the club . Will that help?
Thank so much. this is my Best Golf tutorial.better than many vid talk about bll shii too many shallow and too many stp body turn bra bra

Why not to swing inside to inside rather inside out?
We have mats at my range, where exactly should I place the basket and stick? Sorry hard to tell from the video? PS I too have sore wrists! Tnx
Thankyou very much Sophie this made perfect sense to me I was smashing my 8 iron 150ythats that's like 30y more than usual it had the most lovly draw rite on to my target line can't believe you got me drawing the ball instantly I've only been playing a few months so much appreciated
best iron drill what i look for how to hit iron best.
Excellent.explained very well.the dropping of the arms was the nuggett.thankyou
Chest Closed = A lifetime of good golf.
Absolutely brilliant video, so helpful to my game as i suffer big time from over the top. Thanks Sophie
Just one note... ive had lessons to create a draw. Now it's all starting to come together.
I can't get a grip on where to start my line .
I'm a lefty and hit 7 iron 160 and a 6 180
But suffering my HCP due to start line. Any ideas please
Thank you. Will be trying it out next few days. Great breakdown imo
As one gets older the draw moves to a slice so even at 83 years its still worth listening to a teaching pro.😀
bravo.
But swing supposed to exit from inside in downswing. It should be inside to inside swing if u can teach us.
Great video. I like the way you broke down all the segments. Thank you.
Weak grip or strong grip?
thanks Sophie. what an incredible video
This is superb instruction, very astute. Thank you.
This is very prone to early extension, any suggestions?
Sophie could you do a video on using the wind please
Awesome video. Thank you!
that was brilliant. Well done Sophie
Awesome video! Thank you.
Is this the same for driver ..?great for irons
Absolutely great video. The alignment stick visuals are especially valuable with the “ over the top” drill really helpful. Immediate subscribe.
Thanks Barney! New videos from the Academy every Thursday at 4PM - make sure you have notifications turned to see each new video first 🧡
you need to mention that your clubface should point where you you want the ball to go, in order to hit a draw- and not aligned with your feet and shoulders
Great video, thank you
Excellent lesson and will practice it
Great instructions/ drills
Nice video Coach 👏⛳️ Thx
Noticed as a Sailor the little mistake with the compass… it is not Southeast to Northwest … surely SW to NE 😀 6:25
Er I hope you don't get lost at sea! Sophie was correct, as she looks down it's SE to NW, obviously.
@@paulmaguire8939 thats Outside - In and not In to Out … as she likes to explain - maybe you should make a drawing of a Compass to help you
This is very good advice to improve your swing
This is the classic swing, I can’t hit that new pressure closed face turn hard punch shot. Too old
Nope, the new swing rips up my back, no way your back is supposed to yank to the left like that. Ill stick to the old stuff.
This video is amazing I am sure will help me very much thank you and continue the great work 🏌️
