I have tried the modern resistance of the lower body golf swing for many years. There as no resistance in Mr. Jones swing. Its total fluidity & freedom of motion. When you take all the hype out of the modern way to hit a ball you will realize that you should actually be swinging the club. Once you accomplish this task, even one time & hear the sound of impact & watch the penetrating high ball flight, you too will understand & will be motivated to achieving this goal over & over again. Don't' lift the club even an inch during the back swing. Think only the turn of your body is allowed to lift the club. This Video is a class act all the way. Thank you too the person who made it!
Jones did several things that most contemporary pros would scoff at, yet he could probably outplay any of them today. 1) lifted his left heel well off the ground 2) went way past parallel 3) cupped his left wrist at the top mattered All these things show how loose and fluid his swing was.
Thank you. And as others have said, 'his swing was poetry." He loved literature and poetry. He is very special to our family. He is a treasure for us all to embrace every April in Augusta. I hope to play a round in Heaven in the distant future, wee Bobby! My namesake...
He had such fluidity and athleticism in that swing. It’s so graceful, elegant, and timeless. These are the types of guys that I modeled my swing after when I was young. Today’s pros are much more mechanical looking.
Great swing Bobby, natural and graceful nothing like taught today

He simply takes the club back on an inside line and then really opens his body up with a huge TURN of the hips and shoulders with the club shaft way past the parallel, this gives him loads of time not to rush the downswing, simple but, very effective.
According to Norman Von Nida in his book "Golf is my business" the great South African golfer bobby locke modelled his swing on bobby Jones, whom he admired greatly
Consider taking up Hickory golf. There is a revival going on. It is beautiful, more enjoyable and more sustainable because you can play many old courses as designed. Did I suggest it is also good for the environment 😸
@@ethantak6391 idk Rory has flexibility but his swing looks very stiff and mechanical. I see more similarities to Wolff especially with the little pre swing set and the long looping free flowing movement
So many players would hit the ball a million times better if they took the club back the way Bobby Jones did across the line it is so much easier to shallow out the shaft that way
There's a difference between rolling the face inside and taking the club inside, gave the illusion that he took the club inside but you got to remember he went across the line at the top of his swing which makes it a million times easier to shallow out the club then the other way that they're teaching today, so many golfers would be better if they took the club back the way Bobby Jones did maybe not as long as he did because he was really flexible but they would have so much easier of a time trying to shallow the shaft
@@dscwac396 You're spot on. Bruce Lietzke , Ray Floyd and Hale Irwin come to mind regarding the inside takeaway without rolling although they didn't cross the line at the top.
Fluid, effortless, athletic, balanced with legendary power and an angelic touch...he would destroy the current PGA players, IMO. He would still be #1 in the world, week in and week out. Bobby was not a golfer, he was an athlete. The difference has set him apart for all time.
Absurd. Finau, Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Rory... these guys are unathletic to you? Athleticism might have set him apart 100 years ago, but it certainly wouldn’t now.
You are correct and jones didn't touch a club for months then won championships. 13 majors by age 28 then retired. He played before the lift clean and place rule. Imagine today's pros putting with mud on the ball.
I never noticed before, but addresses the ball with the ball way out on the toe of his club. The opposite of Fuzzy Zoeller who addresses the ball on the heel of his club, because he backs off his head towards his heels on the downswing, he learned to do this so he could find the sweetspot.
I notice that he turns his hips through 90° in the back swing and through 180° to a finish. Brian Sparks (RIP) teaches this. Effortless and especially suitable for older golfers. Check out Brian Sparks & his Danse du Golf!
I am going to try using this fluid swing - I love it. Does nation know where the course is that has the hills in the background? It looks like a California landscape.
First man to hit a ball over 300 yds. I wonder if he noticed, from that overhead shot on his backswing, that his hands from the top were coming slightly over the top. Maybe that's what he needed to do anyway. I just wonder if he noticed that when he saw it though. Total genius and a super cool guy!
The pic of the shaft bend was a result of old photography, it isn't bending any more than a graphite shaft would. Bobby jones thirteen majors by the age of 28 then retired after winning four majors in one calendar Year. When a reporter asked tommy armour why he and other pros excepted two strokes a side during friendly matches, tommy bristled and said because he's that g- damn good.
Nicely done. I could watch this over and over. Nice music. I think Byron Nelson may have decided to sneak into your video at around the 4:07 time code mark. If so, another great golfer and super nice man. He loved Jesus Christ and his life was a testament to his belief. Thank you!
Nhấc chân trái để xoay được eo nhiều và dễ hơn. 1 swing tối ưu của 1 huyền thoại . Thật đáng tiếc khi ở thế kỉ 21 khi swing mà nhấc chân lên như thế thì bị chê là *mất trụ * ngay. Giống như dùng phản lực mặt đất của thầy Kwon thời nay.
@@dscwac396 not true, he played with steel in the 30s, he just preferred the feel of hickory. He had one of the longest swing arcs in history. I've played with hickory drivers and irons, they are very similar to graphite shafts.
No the stack and tilt puts more weight on the left side in the backswing and the torso looks like it's leaning toward the target. He is centered, the only reason he can get away with it and lift his right heel is because he has incredible mobility in his right ankle, knee and hips which allow him to make a MASSIVE hip turn while keeping his right foot completely stable and flat on the ground, ready to provide stability and power during the downswing.
@@flower2289 Casual golfers who play the game poorly will rationalize by saying they just like to go out and get some fresh air and sunshine. As for myself, I can think of other much less frustrating ways to get fresh air and sunshine. Then they will claim that they don't take the game too seriously and that they know how to have fun and laugh at themselves. They actually take a position of moral superiority for doing something poorly and accepting it.
I have all his movie short films on dvd and read all his books, he turned his hip around first and the arms went along for the ride he then lefted his arms. On the down swing he turned his hips first then a little loop back and returned clubhead inside the line. My opinion why he was great. He didn't touch his club for months every year, then won 42% of his starts. Imagine any pro not swinging a club for months then winning a us open or British open.
@@ag358 he was one of the best. i also have several of his books and have watched alot of his films and videos over the years. he was not only a golf champion but an innovator in golf instruction. i often wondered how the vitaphone short subject movies where viewed by the general public, like were they shown in theaters between features or maybe sold more for private sale. the films are a treasure to golfers everywhere now, thank you bobby jones.

"Swing the Clubhead" is the old way, as Ernest jones showed us.
When I think of integrity, he always comes to mind.
Jones did several things that most contemporary pros would scoff at, yet he could probably outplay any of them today.
1) lifted his left heel well off the ground
2) went way past parallel
3) cupped his left wrist at the top mattered

Every time I watch him I'm reminded to bring hands in close during the down swing.
The bend in that shaft at 1:00 is ccrrraaaaaazzzyyyy...
The introduction of the steel shaft changed everything...
sometimes before i go play golf i'll look at bobby jones or fred couples swinging, kinda helps me.
Never a poem written that has as much flow as the swing of Mr. Jones.
The perfect golfer
that right hip turn on the way back is something else!!
Winning titles and earning degrees...fightn round the world

Love the music.
It's a beautiful and fluid swing. I also loved the attire of that golfing era

such a smooth and effortless swing.
His flexibility was incredible. No today’s player can turn so much as he did in backswing and still hit the ball so crisp.
Umm Rory
@@ethantak6391 idk Rory has flexibility but his swing looks very stiff and mechanical. I see more similarities to Wolff especially with the little pre swing set and the long looping free flowing movement
So many players would hit the ball a million times better if they took the club back the way Bobby Jones did across the line it is so much easier to shallow out the shaft that way
And with wooden shafts on his clubs, amazing!
Amazing contact with the ball
Brilliant, just brilliant. Thank you.
The top down view swing is priceless.
Where in the video it’s showing to the top down view of his swing?
The way he pulls that front knee back and his heel coming way off the ground. !!
i golfed at the bobby jones golf club in sarasota, fla. about 30 yrs ago.
His swing was long fluid and slow to accommodate the hickory shafts , they had a lot of bend to them. Still beautiful to watch.
So much for keeping the clubhead in front of the hands going back. Taking the club immediately inside served him well.
There's a difference between rolling the face inside and taking the club inside, gave the illusion that he took the club inside but you got to remember he went across the line at the top of his swing which makes it a million times easier to shallow out the club then the other way that they're teaching today, so many golfers would be better if they took the club back the way Bobby Jones did maybe not as long as he did because he was really flexible but they would have so much easier of a time trying to shallow the shaft

@Shane I don’t know what you’re watching.

Well Thank You !!!
This has to be the perfect
Just imagine Jones with modern equipment!
I notice that he turns his hips through 90° in the back swing and through 180° to a finish. Brian Sparks (RIP) teaches this. Effortless and especially suitable for older golfers. Check out Brian Sparks & his Danse du Golf!
It's a hips driven golf swing ! as great hitter golfer ever !
I am going to try using this fluid swing - I love it. Does nation know where the course is that has the hills in the background? It looks like a California landscape.
He found his swing that fits his body find your swing it’s the only path to good golf
Why did you change the song to this movie. What was it originally I loved that song now I can't think of my swing with this new one
First man to hit a ball over 300 yds. I wonder if he noticed, from that overhead shot on his backswing, that his hands from the top were coming slightly over the top. Maybe that's what he needed to do anyway. I just wonder if he noticed that when he saw it though. Total genius and a super cool guy!

Is that a painting of Byron Nelson in this video?
It is.
Mike ... I agree at around the 4:07 time code mark.
Gran swing con la rodilla izquierda hacia adentro en el w s
En el.back swing
What he could have done with today's clubs!!
His swing would have been completely different because of the steel shafts
@@dscwac396 not true, he played with steel in the 30s, he just preferred the feel of hickory. He had one of the longest swing arcs in history. I've played with hickory drivers and irons, they are very similar to graphite shafts.
Is the classic golf swing in effect a stack and tilt swing
No the stack and tilt puts more weight on the left side in the backswing and the torso looks like it's leaning toward the target. He is centered, the only reason he can get away with it and lift his right heel is because he has incredible mobility in his right ankle, knee and hips which allow him to make a MASSIVE hip turn while keeping his right foot completely stable and flat on the ground, ready to provide stability and power during the downswing.
I love watching all the older golfers like Snead Hogan and Nelson as well they all have impeccable fundamentally sound swings
No
If ppl actually took the club back across the line they'd shallow it out and hit it so much better
To me golf is no fun at all *unless* it is played well.
Bad golf makes your life miserable.

Just think with modern equipment. If you look at him left handed he looks like Bubba Watson all the way.
Yes, it's true bubba has the same action, bobby would have killed the ball with today's equipment.
it looks like mr.jones brought the club way inside, maybe due to the big hip turn.
Thats his method and it works every time. Club back on the inside and massive rotation of the hips and shoulders.
@ a great swing to observe.
even with the big hip and shoulder turn he stays very centered over the ball.
I have all his movie short films on dvd and read all his books, he turned his hip around first and the arms went along for the ride he then lefted his arms.
