Hey all! I just built this golf app where you can get exclusive lessons from the world's greatest golf coaches. It's been the biggest game changer to helping me improve, and wanted everyone to be able to do the same. Check it out here! caddyai.io/
This instructor! Man, he gets it. He is so patient and isn’t just barking commands. Love how he continually demonstrates what he wants you to do as he explains why. Fantastic stuff here. This one going in the SAVE folder!
This lesson is gold! Everyone should watch this and listen to what he is describing. This is a basic fundamental that 90% of amateurs are missing. Eye opening really
I told you Mike is the best coach in the world.... His explanations and methodology are so simple yet so rewarding to watch the instant results are breath taking... He is definitely a keeper.
mike is the best teaching pro i have ever seen, his explaination is absolutely easiest to understand, this particular session will improve most amature
After 3.5 years of playing it took this one beautiful, summarizing lesson to finally get it. The way Mike is explaining the swing, it just makes sense. While I’ve seen so many videos about each aspect of the swing from rotation, shallowing the club (steeper to flatter in Mike’s terms), bowing of the wrist to square the club face and the circular motion of the swing, its really Mike’s way of putting it together that solidifies it. He explains why each result is a product of the components mentioned above. Thanks for sharing! I think that this is your turning point! Almost saw a light bulb materialize over your head when hitting those shots. 😅. It has taken me 3.5 years of self learning to get to this point and you are getting this info within 2 months of starting, all due to great instruction. Thanks to you and all of your coaches! I’m following eagerly right there with you dude!
Way back in the early 1980's Mike was my college(UCSD) golf coach/teacher/mentor and during that time I learned so much from him. With his instruction I was able to go from barely breaking 80 to shooting par or better on a fairly regular basis. His knowledge of the golf swing and how to excel at the game is a result of thousands of hours of practice, study, and playing. Mike has a passion for golf and helping his students to get better and increase their enjoyment of this wonderful game.
This is the MOST helpful golf video I’ve ever seen. Made a big difference in my swing because it finally makes sense. Deconstructing the swing is so important to learn what mistakes you are making. Thanks for the great video
I've been watching RUclips lessons for a few years and agree with other comments , you have hit the jackpot , The amount of involvement with your teacher is unbelievable, he's always watching you and correcting you. Take care of him
Hands down one of the best explanations of educated hands/wrist conditions from TGM..what makes it so good is Mike explains the necessary body rotation needed in conjunction with the hand/wrists and then gives “faults&fixes”. I have never seen it explained any better on YT except for old Ben Doyle videos..
This is one of the best instruction videos I have watched. That exercise which bow's the wrist first is the best advice I've ever seen. Most instructors only tell you to keep the wrist bowed at impact but never have an exercise for it. My handicap has plateaued at 10 for years and being a 69 year old golfer, I don't expect it to get any better but this will help me to improve my distance. Keep up the good work Jerome.
Yes!! Listen to this dude!! The other one just wasn't handsy enough with you. Like i said golf is a feel game and the real coach has to put you in positions to understand. You are going to get better no doubt. Can't wait for your next video!
That was a great vid...I've been doing the exact grip, hinge, swing but not the follow thru (but pulling it left)...that was explained perfectly...I can wait to put it all together...Single digits here I come!
It may have felt and looked like an awful ball striking session, but the info you're getting is gold....... When you're trying to change your swing, sessions like this will happen. Sometimes you have to take a step back to take 2 forward...............Keep grinding
We have the same problem...not thumping the ground, therefore I hit it fat when I miss. The video of you and your sensei, Mr. Mike, hitting punch shots inspired me. Thank you and good luck!
Love your videos with Mike. He knows what he is talking about. I play off 5 handicap but ft I lacked consistency. I've been changing my swing based on Mike's instruction in your videos. It takes time and effort but stick with it. My ball striking has improved as a result. My divots now mostly happen after I've hit the ball. My chipping, pitching and bunker play have also improved as a result of Mike's teaching. I live in Adelaide Australia and LIV Golf was here recently. I can tell you, those pros always take a divot with their irons.
Man I love the way he breaks down wrist angles. My 1 swing thought right now is "bow and go" so I set the proper angle early in the takeaway and then just turn back and through. My game has gotten a lot more consistent since taking this approach.
This video is so vital. I learned so much from just watching this video. And when I tested it this week 2 times at the range, never did I sliced once’s. A couple of 5-8 yard hooks but no slice. So vital. Amazing teacher!
I'm an 86 year old guy who has been a low index player studying the golf swing over the years and I'm blown away with Coach Mike and his knowledge. My playing days are past but latch onto this guy if you want to be a player. In my opinion He is gold.
I've watched this and the others with Mike quite few times and its helped my game on another level, Mike is a fantastic coach, I think as you get better you should return to him as he has some old school knowledge to give
You may not belive this Jerome, but he is right regarding your strong grip as a compensator for not bowing your wrist to close the face at impact only get you that far in your development. This is how all the pros I been taking lessons from teaches.
Wow ! After watching this video, I realized that I wasn't bend my wrists as Mike explained. I was kind of scooped my shot swings . Will have try this drills and thanks for the video !
Jerome, thank you so much for this video. I've watched this a few days ago along with other vids with Mike and today I actually tried this and I was amazed at how well this works! Now I'm able to hit a draw on command oppose to my typical high fade. Mike is great at explaining things and getting to the point. I cannot thank you enough...subscribing!!!!
Struggling with consistent impact for many many years..Not sure which is the real ball impact for farther distance. Will definitely try this. Change grip back to neutral again.
Mike is a great instructor - you definitely made a good decision in him. However, it's worth noting one thing about what he says for you to do, and what he does in his own swing. While he's telling you to get ahead with your body and hands, where your right foot comes up pretty early in your forward motion, he always keeps his right heel down through impact. It makes a huge difference in the hip movement. You should ask him about that. Thanks for sharing!
@@swardmusic Quite possibly. But there is a school of thought focused on limiting early hip rotation by keeping the back heel on the ground through impact. He won't know unless he asks.
The stuff Mike is teaching is how to get to scratch. Obviously you want to go back to your old grip and swing that you had a little bit of success with but ultimately you will plateau at something like a 10 handicap with those short cuts and bandaid swings. Applying what Mike is showing is how you get a swing consistent enough to get to scratch.
Everything he says is confused… he’s trying to say if you strengthen the wrist then JR could turn them down at impact. But that doesn’t work with a strong grip.
The exercise is the put a weight on a string and a pole. Use the left wrist to roll the string around the pole to build up the muscle under ur left wrist (so that bowed wrist is strong)
@@joelmartin6329 neither. Ur hands are on the pole. String tied to pole and weight. Twist the pole and wrap the string around the pole, making the weight go up.
The strong grip would be to compensate for lack of correct bow of the wrist. If you learn to bow the wrists correctly with the appropriate timing you can have a more neutral grip. With the strong grip you need to focus on more rotation.
I like this coach better than the golftec one, apart from his hands on approach. I’m no golf technician but isn’t that ball a bit far back in the stance for a 7/8 iron? Would that promote a draw?
Hi Jerome, I tuned in when you released your first few videos and was skeptical of your ambition, shame on me mate, it seems like you've gone a long way in short time. Well done young gun, keep it up and god speed.
Question: first loving your videos! But this has highlighted something I kind of already knew myself. This instructor puts so much emphasis on steeper to flatter but then on the lessons with Trackman that instructor tells you not to go steep at all. There is so many contradictory information even within your videos by instructor to instructor so then how do you know what you should be aiming for… and if you felt the same, how did you deal with this? And with your progression so far what would you tell yourself watching these videos back?
@@Bartokomous I've seen so many videos trying to learn and now confused on a lot of things because you hear so many ways (correct or wrong and contradicting) that I should probably just get private lessons and stick with that person hey 😬 For example, even pushing the club shaft handle that much forward, I remember youtubers saying to not do because of blah blah and they call it like your playing cricket etc. 🤦♂️ Then in another video you have to so the ball compresses, get lag etc. This game is hard enough as it is but doesn't help with videos out there.
Why is it that my better shot I feels like my follow through isn't the best because the club always feels like it trying to catch up with my hands and my whip is basically not there until the very end.

This man Mike has changed my golf swing forever for the better, simply by showing me what to do consistently. Had my best round in 2 years today
This lesson is gold! Everyone should watch this and listen to what he is describing. This is a basic fundamental that 90% of amateurs are missing. Eye opening really
This is one of the most helpful lessons I’ve ever seen, what a really fantastic teacher Mike is. Really impressive

Glad it helped :)
This is the best video yet, all rotation
Whoaaaaa.holy crap....I have been super struggling with that for 6 months...almost wanted to quit... thank you
I could listen to Mike all day.
Just thinking the exact same
@@ruatoomey9107 absolutely

Mike is gold, I was lucky to have my teacher play with me when I was learning the swing. I hear a lot of the same things from Mike. 🤓👍
Dude, your content has been great man. Glad to be along for your journey.
Yes!! Listen to this dude!! The other one just wasn't handsy enough with you. Like i said golf is a feel game and the real coach has to put you in positions to understand. You are going to get better no doubt. Can't wait for your next video!
Great lesson. Had some solid ball striking today using the bowed wrist. Can't wait until my next round.
That was a great vid...I've been doing the exact grip, hinge, swing but not the follow thru (but pulling it left)...that was explained perfectly...I can wait to put it all together...Single digits here I come!
i cant stop watching this over and over so many info to dissect. all good stuff
I have only been playing for about 9 rounds of golf and that was one of the best hand training lessons that you have shown on your you tube show. 😊.
The first three minutes of this is gold!
This guy is such a good teacher I Wish I lived in that area I would straight away book lessons with him.
I've been struggling with solid contact all year. This lesson has helped tremendously. Many thanks.
What a fantastic lesson. Really want to see how you incorporate this into your practice.
It may have felt and looked like an awful ball striking session, but the info you're getting is gold....... When you're trying to change your swing, sessions like this will happen. Sometimes you have to take a step back to take 2 forward...............Keep grinding
I love this coach. If I were u I wouldn't be seeing anyone else except the putting guy
Great coach and seems like he cares not just a corporate money machine like the other coach. Stick with just this guy
We have the same problem...not thumping the ground, therefore I hit it fat when I miss. The video of you and your sensei, Mr. Mike, hitting punch shots inspired me. Thank you and good luck!

How long do you think it’ll take to adapt the hands forward technique into my game

Eye opening lesson. Thaks!

Danke!
Great video Jerome , answered alot of questions for me , I 'll try out next time at the driving range instead of just hitting ball after ball
This guy is the GOAT
Jerome, thank you so much for this video. I've watched this a few days ago along with other vids with Mike and today I actually tried this and I was amazed at how well this works! Now I'm able to hit a draw on command oppose to my typical high fade. Mike is great at explaining things and getting to the point. I cannot thank you enough...subscribing!!!!
Best golf lesson on RUclips
wow what a great coach!
Start golfing a month ago, thank you for sharing all your lesson!
Jerome, We want to see a on course lesson with Mike
This
Bro, great stuff. Your choice of coach is a compliment to your channels growth. Great stuff all around
Great explanation from Mike, he’s such a fantastic coach - stick with him Jerome 👍😉
Hope you get a driver lesson from Mike. Would love to hear some insight from him.
非常好的教学视频，感谢你麦克教练！
This was amazing
Struggling with consistent impact for many many years..Not sure which is the real ball impact for farther distance. Will definitely try this. Change grip back to neutral again.
Very helpful!! Thanks
Great drill. Thanks
simply fascinating
This was wayyy more useful than the lessons I pay for
Awesome information 🤙🏻
Wow solid coach

Nothing to do with the coaches swing. He may have body limitations,injuries... Hes probably 30 yrs his snr also 😊
@@swardmusic Quite possibly. But there is a school of thought focused on limiting early hip rotation by keeping the back heel on the ground through impact. He won't know unless he asks.
Mike had recently had double knee surgery
Good practice
comment for the alg. Nice Vid! keep up the grind
Great lesson. I did, for a split second, think Alice Cooper was giving golf lessons! :)
Why isnt Golf taught like this? Especially the wrists and body rotation!
The stuff Mike is teaching is how to get to scratch. Obviously you want to go back to your old grip and swing that you had a little bit of success with but ultimately you will plateau at something like a 10 handicap with those short cuts and bandaid swings. Applying what Mike is showing is how you get a swing consistent enough to get to scratch.
Very wise 👌
Nice vid!!!. Please get a lesson with long irons...
Take a look at the pro sender training aid it does exactly this
Can someone explain what he meant by the exercise to build up the muscle at 32:10 ? I’m confused
Everything he says is confused… he’s trying to say if you strengthen the wrist then JR could turn them down at impact. But that doesn’t work with a strong grip.
The exercise is the put a weight on a string and a pole. Use the left wrist to roll the string around the pole to build up the muscle under ur left wrist (so that bowed wrist is strong)
@@rayj.1471 It does if your body continues to rotate. Look at DJ and Rahm. Their wrists are massively bowed but the rotate so left the face is sqaure
What does JR mean? And I still don’t get the exercise tho, does ur left hand grab the weight or the other side of the string?
@@joelmartin6329 neither. Ur hands are on the pole. String tied to pole and weight. Twist the pole and wrap the string around the pole, making the weight go up.
First time I seen old quagmire hit a ball he's pretty good
I can teach you in less than one lesson. Consistency is all up to you.
Bruh. Just changed my life.
Do you do this along with the strong grip?
The strong grip would be to compensate for lack of correct bow of the wrist. If you learn to bow the wrists correctly with the appropriate timing you can have a more neutral grip. With the strong grip you need to focus on more rotation.
I like this coach better than the golftec one, apart from his hands on approach. I’m no golf technician but isn’t that ball a bit far back in the stance for a 7/8 iron? Would that promote a draw?
Seems like such a nice guy.
The nuance in wrist bend between a draw and a fade is so small. It took me a while to find that zone.
Jerome! Start your downswing with your front knee.
When I try this it always starts to the right. I assume hands need to be more forward? What's the release feel?
Have you generally got ur hands in front yet at impact or still working on it ?
any idea of how much each session is ?
When i bow my wrists like this i hit big hooks. Is this due to flipping because of not turning through the ball enough?
teacher is really good,he knows what he is doing chuck

awesomeness
drill that 1000 times for 10 days
Where is the teacher located
The wrist bow is key, you will be hitting your 9 iron 160 or more when you get it down i guarantee it!
I have 3 distances on all 3 of my wedges. They are not even numbers or numbers that end in 5. I still suck.
Good lord. Was that range hit by a bomb. Nobody can hit straight looking at that. 😅😂😂
Doesn't bowing the wrist deloft that club head? It looks like it turned a 9 iron into 4 going by the impact position 🤷♂️
Yeah that's how real good players hit the ball so far.(not me)
@@Bartokomous I've seen so many videos trying to learn and now confused on a lot of things because you hear so many ways (correct or wrong and contradicting) that I should probably just get private lessons and stick with that person hey 😬
