    I'm really loving this series as it really strips away all of the "polish" and "shine" that comes with RUclips golf. Thanks for documenting this and sharing your experience and vulnerability. Competitive golf is a different animal and it really takes the right mental attitude to grind and be in the right head space. These failures only lead to bigger successes and appreciation as long as you trust your process. Always Press!!

      @@NamesFrenchy I agree with you. It’s just a different way of showing a side of the game we love which I prefer. RUclips creators are offering up a variety of content that won’t click with everyone. As long as they stay in their lanes, viewers should be treated to great content and can pick which suits their mood or preferences.

    Thank you Ben, I am a junior golfer( going through swing/ Grip changes) and my favorite thing is to sit down and watch a video of you grinding it out on the course tournament or not, and being able have some form of a example of adversity to show me that "golf is hard"

    Im 62 and decided to make a radical swing change. My swing sucked and I knew it....Took me a year to stop my right hip from firing and being on my right toe with my right knee all bent funny half way through my downswing. I Couldn't feel it, but the video was clear. Never been so frustrated in my life! Finally got rid of that and the cascading positive effects are now gaining momentum. First time in my life my index is single digits. At 62! Name another sport:). Love your content. Golf is hard.

    Ben you need to do a video on short putts - it is insane how you knock them down. Also, keep it going! My last event I had a complete melt down ( between 2 methods) with my chipping and I was hanging my head for 2 days, but I have bounced back and I will make it my strength! I get that from YOU. Great content and keep it up.

    You made the right change! Stay the course and it will pay off. I love that square/neutral clubface at the top of your backswing, no more digging! You just need to re-educate your hands. Love the grip trainer! So does Scottie!

    I like what you were saying @ 6:55. When you first mentioned the lead hand grip change to weak, I immediately hoped your coach was trying to keep the trail shoulder and hip higher through transition to keep you from coming underneath. If you learn to hit punch cuts with the weak left hand, you'll really be on to something.

  • @sweetswing1

    Kudos for showing us everything Ben. Golf is extremely difficult for just a casual round. For competitive ams it's much harder. For pros its a whole other level. You're going to make it, just keep going. You will look back on this video and smile when you get your pga card. Steady as she goes.

    Golf is sport like no other its either a mental warfare when your on the course or one of the best round's of golf you have ever played. Am currently working on my iron swing tempo as well as my swing in general since I tend to either shank or chunk a lot of my shots. Cant wait to see you on tour.

  • @baemp1re
    @baemp1re 2 месяца назад +3

    I am nowhere near your level... However, that being said, I too have had to rebuild my grip recently and I share the sentiment that it feels SO WRONG! And therefore feels impossible to swing a golf club correctly. All you can do is trust the process and it will come.

    Really respect the grind, been through a few swing changes myself the last 18 months so i understand the pain. Scores don't actually matter while you're doing that, you just need reps. Stick with it will come good. My only caveat is that Butch Harman said this year at the masters "the best coaches will meet a player and work with what they've got". If the change feels too unnatural it may not be for you. Stick with it and see how you go

    Im working through the same feel that you’re talking about at 6:53. I play about 2-4 times a week and am still getting used to it after 3 months. I find it especially hard with longer irons. I tend to hit big pushed with them and feel like I really have to release the club to hit them straight.
    I also really struggle to hit a knock downs!
    You’ll kill it, I’m just waiting for it to all line up!

    I’m a regular guy who plays a tournament or two per year. I’ve got a young kid now, so I can count the number of 18 hole rounds I play in a year on one hand. Played a mid-open yesterday. Went out with 3 goals: stay focused, stay positive, and play every single shot to the best of my ability. Happy to say I accomplished those. I did inexplicably shank 3 separate sub 80 yard wedges into the hazard, which was wild. Ended up 3rd in my flight, but delete those 3 shanks and one other bizarrely bad wedge, and it’s a top 10 overall. Golf is hard. Tournament golf is harder. It’s all good fun though. Good luck Ben!

    For left hand and left side dominance, Ben Hogan's 5-Lessons Book illustrates the left-hand-heel pad grip picture for lefthand, and left side dominance in the release phase of the downswing. His book shows a picture of balancing the club with only the left index finger, and the heel pad of the left hand. Thus, the heel pad of the lefthand presses against the top of the club handle to "flip" the club around to square the clubface just before impact. The hand action at the final hands release phase to square the clubface just before impact is shown in another picture later in his book. This picture is overly tiny to clearly show how the lefthand heel pad works. One way to get the feel of the lefthand heel pad action is at setup to tilt and rise the club up with the clubhead above the head straight ahead of the face and head. Wiggle the clubhead rapidly slightly left and right using the lefthand heel pad to press on the top end of the club handle. The clubhead will wiggle at amazing speeds back and forth, left and right, showing how the lefthand heel pad grip will square up the clubface rapidly with amazing speed just before impact.

  • @adavis8423
    @adavis8423 Месяц назад

    When I had my grip weaker, lead thumb tip on top dead center of grip, low shots meant I had to aim left with ball back in stance 2 balls. Same neutral swing but aim left as it will come out low right naturally. Just careful with keeping the face square, a weak grip allows for more range of motion towards the cut side, and if you're starting it low right it's close to a low slice. That can be a great shot to have out of and under trees though..

    Ben, any time you feel like you’re struggling with the game, come play a round with me. You’ll feel instantly better. 😂
    Today, I flushed a 4-hybrid onto a narrow green from 220 yds out on my second shot of a par 5. I was at the bottom tier of the green about 35 feet away, pin on the top tier. I proceeded to four putt. Putter almost went in the water today. 😭

    • @TMar1961
      @TMar1961 2 месяца назад

      I can relate. I'm an honest 15 index and my last round was looking special for me, sub 80 was WELL in play. Then proceeded to 3 putt the last 3 holes and shot 81. As a note, I average 28.9 putts a round and ended up with a 34 putt day, I hate this game sometimes.

    • @AlabamaGolfer
      @AlabamaGolfer 2 месяца назад +1

      @@TMar1961 the handicap system is nuts though. My average has been +15 over the last twenty rounds, but from what I understand, it only counts your best eight rounds out of your last 20. I’ve only broke 80 three times this year and two of those were in this last 20, so I’m sitting at 11.5 (even though I feel like I should be closer to 15)..
      But I could’ve used your putting today. I had three three-putts and the above mentioned four-putt. 37 putts total today, and I even chipped in on #7 for a birdie. But yeah, those missed sub-80 rounds hurt when you’re so close coming down the stretch. Yesterday, I needed par on the last three for 79, and bogeyed them all. 😑

    So many tour players indicate they are about touch and feel, but Ben is very technical. He's learning the Florida greens, and only on Hole 8 did he rush and make a silly bogey. And Hole 17 was an experiment. And the second round was crazy because of the storm. But he's hitting more fairways off the tee, so overall his game is improving in spite of what he says.
