How refreshing to see a coach actually talking sense. You wouldn't believe how many coaches are actually saying that we should force the right elbow forward - I tried it and immediately it was apparent that you couldn't even make contact with the ball if you did this (without installing half a dozen extra joints in your arms). I agree when you say it's horse poo.
Hey Samantha, don’t get me started on the right elbow garbage, drives me mad. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences, really appreciated. Best wishes Stu 😊
I’ve literally watched thousands of golf instructional videos on RUclips and this is the best instructional video I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen some really good stuff, but nothing better than this to teach swing path and face orientation. If you feel that handle being pulled in to the body like Stu is teaching in this video…say goodbye to over the top. Say goodbye to slicing and an out to in swing path. Feel what it’s like to hit a draw…and how to manipulate the ball flight with just slight movement and orientation of the pull left. For real… this is the golf secret for 95% of golfers. The circle goes around you, people! Not out to in, or out to out. In to in! Feel that circle around you! I’d be shocked if someone who shoots in the 80s and 90s or above doesn’t improve by 10 to 20 strokes with this instruction. It’s that good people!
this really is probably one of the best explanations I've ever seen. I have had a golf club in my hands since I was 8 years old, i played college golf and have always searched for better more consistent ball striking. They way he describes what the handle is doing in relation to what the club head is doing and how they DO NOT take the same path is such great information and probably a real revelation for a lot of people. Thanks for putting this out there!!! Wish you were in the states...would love to have lesson time with you!!!!
Thank you my friend, really happy this gave you some new found clarity. WIll be in the states coaching next year at some point; will share dates and venue on the channel as and when I have them. Fingers crossed I can get a visa to do it! Best wishes Stu
Probably one of the best visual vids ever done. I pinned it to one of my vids so my viewers could see what I have been talking about and which you explained in a different way. Good job!!!
The best explanation of a golf swing I’ve ever seen. Nailed every issue I have with my swing flaws, too much elbow tucking, fat shots, closed face at impact, heel contact, etc. Now I know how to work on it. Thanks!
Thank you so much friend; really pleased you found this video and enjoyed it, but not only that, it’s given you a road map forward. Let me know how you get on!
I save this video on my desktop. Start learning the basic golf swing all over again. Best golf guru so far to understand how a golf swing works. Sie sie.
Hi Stuart. You are my now go to coach for the golf swing on RUclips. Club heads and shafts are designed for specific reason and to perform a certain way. The golfer is the driver of the club. Most amateurs' swing counteract the design of a golf club thus making this game harder. Poor golf instruction hasn't helped also, but many instructors believe in the in-to-out or the one plane swings. They've developed ways to swing a club to backup their theory. Your videos have pieced together the missing pieces of the puzzle to the swing for me. Your broom series videos are all great! Going around to the left (right handed) during the through swing and how that squares the club face. Thank you for that! I have a coach locally that is adamant that every golfer should swing differently because of their physical make up. Some players have longer or shorter arms, tall or short in height...etc. I believe in that also. Same reason people shouldn't buy a set of clubs off the rack, especially a putter. I like your view on how one's physical attributes will dictates one's way to swing a club. Look forward to watching your next video. Keep up the good work!
Such lovely feedback and your journey to my channel. Super happy the broom series cleared up some questions in your own mind and wish you many years of great golf ahead! Best wishes Stu 😊
Stuart, this video is indeed your finest moment. So many pearls of wisdom to support your quite differentiated approach to swinging the club & consistently striking the golf ball. What I find intriguing is your philosophy is quite unique in a few critical areas and yet so in alignment in others. Your move away is 100% in alignment with other leading modern golf swing coaching. A fabulous pivot away blending wrist hinge / set, with the hand path moving inside as you rotate hips and shoulders. It’s classic and spot on. What works classically down the ages doesn’t need to be changed and you don’t. I find it really interesting the way you call out the moves many traditional coaches include in their portfolio as “ garbage”. The most obvious one being the tucking in of the trail elbow coupled with excessive side bend. This broom drill in my opinion starts to illuminate/ call out the differentiation of your philosophy around the release pattern. Many really excellent coaches have attempted to explain why you should not flip the hands and roll the forearms through impact. Your broom drill illustrates what you should be doing based on a perfect blend of body rotation and a natural release pattern derived from hand path and wrist re-hinging in the follow through. Some US observers have mentioned aspects that Mike Malaska. I think these observations are mainly in respect to allowing the wrists to hinge & release naturally through impact avoidance of active rolling the forearms through impact. In my opinion, this video is your Mona Lisa. Myles
Thanks so much Myles; whats interesting is your opinion on my coaching from your first comment to this one, from condemning my Garbage claims to now agreeing with my stance. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Best wishes Stu
The most profound and most brilliant demonstration on how the levers and optimal motion of how a golf club works. Nothing comes close to this. Brilliant work Stu. Watch me get to Single figures at 71. Grateful Aussie
THANK YOU. I have spent a ton of money on golf practice aids, and I just bought a broom for 10 bucks, and it was the missing piece for my golf swing. I was taught the inside out swing and it was correct, but not the right feel. I believe I've got it. I'm feeling the compression and I can't stop hitting golf balls. I have had that EUREKA moment. Thanks Stu.
Hey Eddie - bless you my friend, so pleased you’ve had that EUREKA/WOW moment, it’s what you deserve. Long may it continue and please keep me in the loop with your golf! Best wishes Stu 😊
Holy moly, this is a pretty amazing illustration and it makes perfect sense! We talk fast in New Jersey so I had to watch the video at 2x speed, and I’m so glad I did! Thanks for sharing!
I had a lesson years ago at a range in Marietta, Geogia from Sam Snead's nephew, JC on the Monday after The Masters weekend. He just happened to be on the range prepping for The Tradition in Tucson, AZ. I walked up to him and asked if i could watch him and ended up getting a lesson. The first thing he had me do was go back to the clubhouse and get a broom. He taught me to use the broom with my left hand/side and let the right hand/side go along for the ride. This simple method completely transformed my golf swing and score card forever. So you definitely are in select company with your broom series. Cheers Mate!! Any thoughts or comments?
This very much ties in with what Mike Malaska says about how the but of the club should move and all the problems with trying to swing the club out to the right. Just an aside my broom head is now in the neighbours garden.
Thanks Stuart. Interesting perspective. Think a lot of right handed golfers fear the pull / hook and don’t trust the feeling of getting handle down and left.
@@GoodGolfCoaching I went ahead and bought the broom. I learnt that at impact position if I have a "neutral" left wrist, the face would be open. In order to get a square face, the left wrist has to be bowed or I need to have a strong grip. In line with recommendations, I prefer a strong grip.
❤❤❤ You have changed my game!!! Completely exhausted with coming from the inside. Love the center of the face and straight shots!!!!!! No more toe, drop kicks and having a nervous breakdown! Love, love, love this!!!! My husband says that it makes him even happier. 😂
Very helpful! It helps to understand the "why" of our mistakes, and with a broom you don't need to buy a bunch of expensive golf aids that in the end don't work. It is amazing how a simple exercise with a broom can explain a good golf swing.
It’s blown many peoples minds my friend, and the broom industry is on the up and up 😂Super happy it helped, and hugely grateful for the very kind feedback. Best wishes Stu 😊
Stuart, I see Danny’s latest video is basically a carbon copy of your broom videos but with clubs. Great seeing others are following your example but without the technology proof. Keep it going.
Really opens the eyes using the broom, excellent demo tool. Excellent for showing golfers what is happening in the golf swing. I’ve been chasing inside out and it’s caused numerous problems. I’ve got a lot of work to do.
Definitely something to work on. Makes a lot of sense. Not that you can’t hit great shots the other way but it looks like it takes much more effort and skill.
Wow!! This makes so much sense as ive been struggling with my swing exactly how you described it coach. Will get sweeping!! Thanks coach for this amazing video. The visuals of the broom is amazing and a eye opener. This is Wonderful!! Was feeling despair but mow filled with hope!!
John, today is the start of a new dawn for your golf my friend. Sincerely hope you can watch more content to give you even more insights. Best wishes Stu 😊
Hi mate I’ve watched your grip series and see you talk about grip all the time. Maybe I’m abit dim but can you show a close up of what you would call a good grip for these kind of drills. Fingers/hand position? I’m somewhat 2/3 knuckles left hand and my right hand thumb slightly to the left of grip.
Now THAT was a GREAT video! I just commented on another of yours which I dumped all over - knocking the competition and terrible tractor trailer analogy. THIS was 100% better. I have seen lots of broom drills also but not with a heavy push broom which I have. Can't wait to try it. Best part was about 12:20 where a little pull on the left and push on the right totally fixes the face angle. More like this please. Like the Mr. In Between song: "Accentuate the positive - eliminate the negative". Good job. Sending to my golf partners right now!
This is exactly what I was needing. I've had a golf club in my hand for only about 3 months and couldn't figure out why I was bottoming the club out.. Thank you thank you
Seeing how the broom handle and brushes move is eye opening. Never knew how important the butt end of the club was and how it affects the club face, thanks for the education. The visual is shocking. No wonder whenever I try to swing out to the right I slice big time. With trial and error, I learned that for me to hit a draw, whatever is my target, I aim just slightly to the right of that target, place the ball a little farther back in my stance and make my normal swing; and for a fade, I aim slightly left of my target, place the ball a little more forward in my stance, use a slightly less strong grip, and make my normal swing. I tried fiddling with other ways to do it, but I’m most comfortable doing it this way and it works the best for me. Cheers.
In to in with the hands. Your path is about 4 degrees in to out with the face (per the Trackman numbers on your screen). I do think this is a good drill.@@GoodGolfCoaching
The face did, but it was closed to the path enough to produce the draw shot that appears on your impact screen. Ball flight laws are pretty cool.@@GoodGolfCoaching
this was a really good discussion and demonstration of the golf stroke. i've been golfing for 40+ years and have tried all sorts of ideas and methods to improve and have come across some things that work whether right or wrong. i have read many books and articles and many hours of trial and error practice but not until i discovered youtube have i made the most progress from info from golf guys like you, it's almost a bit more scientific. i have come to find what you have been discussing is quite valid. thnx so much for the help and looking forward to more info from you.
Steve, what a lovely message. Thank you so very much for sharing and super happy I’ve managed to have a positive impact on your golf. Plenty more to come and hope I continue to improve your game. Best wishes Stu 😊
I'm blown away by the whole Broom Series, great work Stu! I'm trying to teach myself the proper hand path, would a short video specifically showing hand path be possible? In any case greetings way down in south Alabama and keep up the good work, thanks.
There's so much to this. You get this and you get the golf swing. I thought low markers who compressed the ball or could chip sublimely was because of some gift from God. I spent over 30 years in my backyard trying to chip. Now that I get how to balance the shaft and how the levers work: it's a bloody snack. AND : do check your grip. Priceless Stuart : bloody priceless. Thank You. Grateful Aussie.
Oh Coach my Coach... mind blowing sir...love your stuff ! Was watching a vid you had talking about time with the Aussies down unda. Just how in the heck did you figure all this out my friend? Great detail and you have a great way of explaining and coming across loud and clear plus I love your humor and talk... oh Coach my Coach!!!! Bravo ! Been watching all i can get on your channel so now it's time to hit da range ! Ty Stu!!!
Thank you for this video. I have never seen this training technique before. Even so, I look forward to trying it because your points made sense to me and I believe that my game will benefit. God Bless.
I truly hope it will Mark, I am more than confident it will have many positive affects. I wish you well with it Sir and please let me know how you get on. Best wishes Stu 😊
Past few months I developed inside out swing (as instructed). Lots of power, huge draw/hooks, low flight, no consistency. Couldn’t figure out how to adjust. Focus on the handle by pulling out then down and in to left leg. Brilliant. Will work on the feels.
Great to hear you’ve seen the reasoning why that route isn’t productive and you’re back on track. Any questions about anything at all. Please don’t hesitate. Best wishes Stu 😊
Very interesting indeed. This really trains the hand path and has really opened my eyes as to how the hands work in an arc around the body. It has has given me a simple visual understanding of what my hands should be doing. After rehearsing with a broom it is simple to transfer that feeling to the club. I am now seeing how the hands move through impact and move in and up. Its actually very simple, but I have made it very difficult for the past 20-years. Many thanks for showing this.
I have just edited last nights comments to make it a little more comprehensive. I am sharing this video with a pal of mine (a senior as I am), as I know he would gain from it. What you have produced makes so much logical sense.
Wasted as a golfer!! 😂😂 Super happy you enjoyed the video, let me know how the cleaning up of your golf swing goes and keep it swept at all times 😂🙄 Best wishes Stu!
I also notice you have to continually move/swing your arms thru the complete swing. great demo...thanks for sharing. This helps me understand what my instructor was telling me.
I've found that just imagining swinging a push broom, as per your excellent drill , while hitting balls with an actual golf club, is like a magic elixir for my swing. I haven't even tried the drill with an actual push broom yet, but plan on buying the lightest weight plastic one that I can find. Many thanks for this, Stuart. One of many benefits that I noticed right away, was that I was able to get a better turn with my 78 year old body, at least partly because, the drill stopped me from over-restricting my neck turn during the backswing.
Hi Dave - lovely feedback, and please please let me know how you find the drill when you get a broom! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! Best wishes Stu 😊
@@GoodGolfCoaching The video that you referred to, about having to pull and using the left foot as a downswing trigger fits very well with the broom visualization. Your description of the sequenced pressuring of the left foot was the best that I've seen. I think that some instructors over emphasize the crushing of something under your heel idea, so it becomes a violent rather than smooth move. Thanks again Stuart.
Very well explained and great visuals. I know that I tend to slide my hips and lean backward as I start my downswing but wasn't aware what too much trying to pushing hands out opened the club face that badly.! I tend to struggle with the turn to finish but now watching that vid I can get that rubbish out of my head. (I'm guessing pros can get away with it via their expert hip movements, as some on YT really press home the issue.?) Now - wheres that broom... 👍
Thanks for the insights into your issues Lee - please please please watch my “you must pull the club” video and it will solve your sliding hip issue and lean back. Best wishes Stu 😊
You're a great coach. I've always hit the ball pretty straight, but I believe I've chased the draw in the wrong manner with inside out and standing the handle up. I'm watching all of your content (especially the shot making), and it is so in line with what i feel when i am hitting shots (vs playing make a pretty golf swing). Keep up the good work, and thank you. Do you happen to do online lessons?
Hi DSC - hugely appreciate the kind feedback Sir, and I am equally as happy that the insights I am providing resonate with you my friend. I do indeed offer online lessons via the Skillest app, which you can find the link to me in some of my most recent descriptions or simply search for me on Skillest. Look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes Stu
Great video Stu. I think this is a similar technique that Mike malaska and Scott hogan teach which they call the flip out. I’ve started to use this technique recently as I was starting to get stuck trying to drive the elbow forward so much
Great video series. Can I put a weight at the end of the golf shaft ( ie. “I gotcha”swing weight, to do the same thing? Keep those videos coming. Thanks
I took to golf at 25 and after a bunch of years struggling, settled into a self taught swing with what you would call, a freakishly strong grip. It worked for me though, and I could smash the bloody cover off the ball. I once drove a 400 yard par 4 all carry and would regularly be on or near the fringes of 345+ par 4's. I tried to qualify for the LDT in the 90's but could never keep it in the grid with a gallery watching. I played to a 2.35 for about a year but was CONSTANTLY told... "you can't play golf holding a club like that" you need lessons. I finally gave in and went to a pro who plays in 5 or so PGA events a year. He promptly changed everything and insisted that I needed to drop my hands towards my heels on the down and then rotate hard with right side bend. Since those lessons(that ruined me) I've never felt the power of SAMASHING a ball again. Occasionally I would get one out over 300 but could barely sniff 250 ever since. Until now that is!!! After stumbling onto your videos, I went to the basement and executed the broom drills over and over.(quite strange to not be bending in half to the right and dropping my hands like an ape) until I got the feel. Today, I went to the range on this cold 28 degree New England day. I hit 125 balls and right from the very first strike, I teared up! The wear in the center of my T 100's is now going to quickly catch up to the heel and toe wear!! Seriously, This was eye opening and AMAZING. I would say that out of the 125 hit, about 25 were not in my created fairway and only 5 of those 25 would I be searching for. The feeling coming off the club is phenomenal, the ball fight was a nice tight draw. At 64 years old my 3 iron(yup, still carry one) was flying 220 in the air. And swinging this way has absolutely no stress or adverse affects! It's comfortable! I'm freaking out here!, I'm back! Taking it to Pinehurst this Thursday. In my 64 years on this earth, I've not once ever even THOUGHT of kissing a bloke!! For you, I'll make an exception😘 Cheers mate!
Ahhh William, hands down one of the my most enjoyable comment reads. Thank you so much for sharing my friend, and its so good to hear you have found your power again and enjoying punishing the golf ball! When youre in town, make sure you drop by and we'll get that kiss in, I wont tell my wife though!! Hahaha - Best wishes Stu
@@GoodGolfCoaching I went back to the range today to see if yesterday was a fluke. It was not. It is about 10 degrees colder today(18f) and the wind is whipping right to left. I think I looked like an idiot to everyone, standing on the range mat in a t shirt but... first swing with a six iron and the ball took off like a bullet. A frozen bullet that went about 185 with a one yard draw! Pretty nice for having 20 mph right to left wind and snow blowing across the mat! I looked at the face and there were little whiskers of ball covering sticking out of the center grooves... here come those tears again. Subsequently, it was much like yesterdays session. A few pulls, a few pushes that did not come back even with the wind but for the majority of hits, just SMASHED! The point is, that swinging the way you explain, you pure it, and the wind has no effect. It's quite amazing how you explain the way the club travels and, SHOULD travel without manipulation.(something I struggled with since those lessons that ruined me) and your drills just light it up in the mind almost instantly. I am very excited about what years I have left in my golfing life. I watched and WILL DO more of your drills and soon they will be replacing Ben Hogan's and Moe Normans pictures with mine as the best ball striker of all time! LOL On a serious note, If people would just pay attention to what you are actually saying and REALLY do the drills, they would be amazed at the outcome. Hey, I've done what Pete Cowen and George Gankes and all the others preach. It didn't last, it was uncomfortable for me and inconsistent. I can tell right from the get go, because of how hard, fast , and comfortably I can whip the club through now and, get quality, strikes and flight, I'll be back to a single digit in no time. Like to say it's all me but, I give credit where credit is due and that is you. Cheers
Your messages are inspiring William and I’m truly grateful to you for sharing. I look forward to hearing more from you in the future of your quest to being back down at the handicap you belong. Best wishes Stu 😊
@@GoodGolfCoaching My good man, I just returned from my golf trip to Pinehurst. We played 7 days straight and I am STILL excited for the future! A bit difficult to bring the ideas to the course at first but not awful... Second day I broke 80 for the first time since my 2.3 handicap swing was taught right out of me, A looooong time ago! 79 on the Pine Wild Holly course! Was striking the tee ball and irons magnificently! Short game was firing on all cylinders! All subsequent rounds, the short game had cracks in 7 of the 8 cylinders LOL. Just kind of tells me where I really need practice🙄 Still, I was incredibly surprised at how far and accurate I was able to hit all clubs through the bag. Probably hit 80% of fairways off the tee on some NOT SO EASY courses!! I started out on Pine needles(women's US open course) with a bogey then 5 pars and a birdie, followed by, how the hell do you swing this thing? for the rest of the round?? I guess I let the damn brain get in the way. This just solidifies that your videos, when truly watched with intent and purpose are second to NONE my boy. I think the only issue I have is trying to keep cup in the left wrist through strike but, BLOODY HELL! My wife wants to take another trip to Ireland but I think I'm going to put my foot down!!! WE'RE FLYING TO THE UK AND I'M GOING TO SURREY!!! Cheers mate
Hey William - love this debrief. Just catching up on all replies to messages and grateful for the feedback. Hope the game continues to improve and look forward to meeting you! Best wishes Stu 😊
This is great. The amoung the handle needs to come into you to swing through is easy to see and feel with the boom. This making a lot of sense to me along with my re-discovering Jim Waldron's Arm Swing Illusion. I'd love to see you talk about that a little bit and how it all fits. I think this will really help with my thin/no divot and either push or hook miss, especially with irons.
Yes it will Robin.. Sadly I am not familiar with Waldron's illusion but ill take a look. Thank you so much for the lovely comments and wish you well with your golf Sir. Best wishes Stu
Thanks Stuart, eye opening really!!! What you said reminds me of an old golf book I read; “Swing the Handle not the Clubhead” by Eddie Merrins. Although I find your explanation has more meaning to me rally!!! Thanks a lot
Stuart thats a great example, however when youre using the broom as an example, you don't appear to pull the broom out in front of you like you do with a club?
Hi Stuart - love your videos and the broom analogy of a golf swing is very illuminating - you have a new subscriber. You lost me a little when you were showing the pulling of the club around the lead leg. Are you saying the pulling and downward pressure is the correct motion BUT that if you don’t have the correct grip THEN the face might open? Please could you tell me if that is correct then what grip do you recommend for this motion to work effectively and to be able to take divots.
Thank you for this. I am going to work on it in the practice bay with launch monitor at the PGA Superstore in Rockville, Maryland that I go to several days a week. I have noticed that annoying tendency you illustrate of finding your strike point is behind the ball even when you think you have applied swing corrections you have been learning. It takes a lot of forward shifting of the hips, getting the weight on the left foot starting early before the top of the backswing. Point number two, even then, I have found when I actually play a round that a lot of strikes that I thought were going to be good go high and straight to the right and miss the green. I double checked to be sure the bottom of my club face was aligned 90 degrees to the target line. I found that what I had to do was realign the bottom of the club face at address to be slightly closed or left of the target line. At least it seems like that. Now that I have watched this video I can see that what is happening to me is exactly what you are describing. Just one question. Many coaching videos by pros who seem to be very solid, and who the pro at my driving range agrees are good, place emphasis on that forward shift of weight starting early as you are still reaching the top of the backswing. They also stress that once your weight is on the left leg, rotating the hips comes easily, naturally. But if you start the forward shift late, as most of us duffers do, your weight is still distributed 50-50 or even a bit more on the trail leg near the bottom of the swing, so you cannot rotate and instead just spin the hips. I would like to know if you also make a forward shift on to the left or lead leg as part of the swing you are showing here? I could not see from the view from behind you.
Please watch my video “Power Up” - thumbnails says, “you must pull the club” and all your answer will be fulfilled. Thank you for being here John! Best wishes Stu 😊
How refreshing to see a coach actually talking sense. You wouldn't believe how many coaches are actually saying that we should force the right elbow forward - I tried it and immediately it was apparent that you couldn't even make contact with the ball if you did this (without installing half a dozen extra joints in your arms). I agree when you say it's horse poo.

I’d be shocked if someone who shoots in the 80s and 90s or above doesn’t improve by 10 to 20 strokes with this instruction. It’s that good people!
Thanks my friend; glad you enjoyed and hope it brings much good golf! Best wishes Stu 😄

@@GoodGolfCoaching yes in fact I find it quite entertaining now. Myles
Haha good!
The most profound and most brilliant demonstration on how the levers and optimal motion of how a golf club works.
Nothing comes close to this.
Brilliant work Stu.
Watch me get to Single figures at 71.
Grateful Aussie
Thank you so much for your continued support.
THANK YOU. I have spent a ton of money on golf practice aids, and I just bought a broom for 10 bucks, and it was the missing piece for my golf swing. I was taught the inside out swing and it was correct, but not the right feel. I believe I've got it. I'm feeling the compression and I can't stop hitting golf balls. I have had that EUREKA moment. Thanks Stu.
Hey Eddie - bless you my friend, so pleased you’ve had that EUREKA/WOW moment, it’s what you deserve. Long may it continue and please keep me in the loop with your golf! Best wishes Stu 😊
I watched your channel for the first time today. I am amazed how easy it is to follow these lessons. You are an amazing coach. Great job, well done.
Thank you so much Chuck, thanks for being here!
Thanks
The best teacher since 20 years
Bless you my friend, hugely grateful. Best wishes Stu
I really appreciate the infinite details to swing exercise. Thanks very much for the upload. Brilliant.
My pleasure Mr Simo, hope it makes some difference to your game 😊
Holy moly, this is a pretty amazing illustration and it makes perfect sense! We talk fast in New Jersey so I had to watch the video at 2x speed, and I’m so glad I did! Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic, really pleased it made sense Angelo! I will speak a bit quicker, just for you Sir, next time 😉 😂Best wishes Stu 😊
Thanks for the reply, but please don’t change a thing, Stu! You’re aces!!
I've had this broom for 20 years, it's had 10 heads and 5 handles.
Thanks for the upload ❤️
My pleasure Trig 😂 Best wishes Stu
I had a lesson years ago at a range in Marietta, Geogia from Sam Snead's nephew, JC on the Monday after The Masters weekend. He just happened to be on the range prepping for The Tradition in Tucson, AZ. I walked up to him and asked if i could watch him and ended up getting a lesson. The first thing he had me do was go back to the clubhouse and get a broom. He taught me to use the broom with my left hand/side and let the right hand/side go along for the ride. This simple method completely transformed my golf swing and score card forever. So you definitely are in select company with your broom series. Cheers Mate!! Any thoughts or comments?
Sounds like a good story! Thanks for sharing 😊
This very much ties in with what Mike Malaska says about how the but of the club should move and all the problems with trying to swing the club out to the right. Just an aside my broom head is now in the neighbours garden.
Hey John - sounds like the broom was swing at some speed! 😂😂Not seen any of Mike’s stuff but hopefully this proved some use. Best wishes Stu 😊
@@GoodGolfCoaching many thanks for the video, have a search for the Malaska Move I think you will see you both have similar ideas
Thanks John!
You made me laugh
@@ERFNED2926 haha excellent! Playing better golf and having fun, the way it should be 😂😊🙌
Thanks Stuart. Interesting perspective. Think a lot of right handed golfers fear the pull / hook and don’t trust the feeling of getting handle down and left.
No doubt; many ingredients that play a roll in that, often a weak grip!
This is like the magician revealing his secrets. 😁
Thank you!
Free for all who choose to watch!
This is the #1 training aid for sure!
It’s one of the best without doubt!
@@GoodGolfCoaching I went ahead and bought the broom. I learnt that at impact position if I have a "neutral" left wrist, the face would be open. In order to get a square face, the left wrist has to be bowed or I need to have a strong grip. In line with recommendations, I prefer a strong grip.
@@no-handles strong hold is the way
Stuart, I see the hands going down left but not seeing hands go out as you coach in other videos. This looks easier. Thanks!
Excellent Michael, pleased to hear it !
❤❤❤ You have changed my game!!! Completely exhausted with coming from the inside. Love the center of the face and straight shots!!!!!! No more toe, drop kicks and having a nervous breakdown! Love, love, love this!!!! My husband says that it makes him even happier. 😂
Ahhh that’s soooo cool. Thank you for the overwhelming feedback! Long may your golf is good and the husband happy. Best wishes Stu 😊
Very helpful! It helps to understand the "why" of our mistakes, and with a broom you don't need to buy a bunch of expensive golf aids that in the end don't work. It is amazing how a simple exercise with a broom can explain a good golf swing.
It’s blown many peoples minds my friend, and the broom industry is on the up and up 😂Super happy it helped, and hugely grateful for the very kind feedback. Best wishes Stu 😊
Stuart, I see Danny’s latest video is basically a carbon copy of your broom videos but with clubs. Great seeing others are following your example but without the technology proof. Keep it going.
Haha thank you Sir - copying is the biggest form of flattery! If we all get to play better for it, I’m all good with that 😊 - best wishes Stu
Really opens the eyes using the broom, excellent demo tool. Excellent for showing golfers what is happening in the golf swing. I’ve been chasing inside out and it’s caused numerous problems. I’ve got a lot of work to do.
Really glad you enjoyed Geoffrey. Best wishes Stu
The loading the shoulders has been a massive help for me
Amen Gregory - let the good times roll. Best wishes Stu 😊
This guy is awesome…golf swing genius
Louis, thank you so much for your very humbling feedback Sir. Best wishes Stu 😊
Well done, very good visual. Danny Maude did this some years ago, but i must say, this is very instructive. Thank you from Germany Stuart!
If you have the name of his video I would love to see it; I searched extensively and nothing showed up.
Definitely something to work on. Makes a lot of sense. Not that you can’t hit great shots the other way but it looks like it takes much more effort and skill.
It sure does and I’m confident this will make a huge difference to your game. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Best wishes Stu 😊
i can’t wait to try this, broom drill looks incredible
Let me know how you get on Scott! Best wishes Stu
I'm so happy I've found your channel - this is so helpful - thank you so much - keep going and rock the Golf coaching!
My pleasure, glad you’re enjoying!
Wow!! This makes so much sense as ive been struggling with my swing exactly how you described it coach. Will get sweeping!! Thanks coach for this amazing video. The visuals of the broom is amazing and a eye opener. This is Wonderful!! Was feeling despair but mow filled with hope!!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback Allen, means a lot and so happy it has shed some light on your game. 😊
This is pure gold!
Thanks so much Bob! Best wishes Stu 😊
Bloody hell! I've been trying to do just what you've shown to be incorrect. That broom drill looks brilliant. Thank you so much👍
John, today is the start of a new dawn for your golf my friend. Sincerely hope you can watch more content to give you even more insights. Best wishes Stu 😊
Hi mate I’ve watched your grip series and see you talk about grip all the time. Maybe I’m abit dim but can you show a close up of what you would call a good grip for these kind of drills. Fingers/hand position? I’m somewhat 2/3 knuckles left hand and my right hand thumb slightly to the left of grip.
Have you seen me “ultimate grip guide”? I will another grip video for sure 😊Best wishes Stu
Now THAT was a GREAT video! I just commented on another of yours which I dumped all over - knocking the competition and terrible tractor trailer analogy. THIS was 100% better. I have seen lots of broom drills also but not with a heavy push broom which I have. Can't wait to try it. Best part was about 12:20 where a little pull on the left and push on the right totally fixes the face angle. More like this please. Like the Mr. In Between song: "Accentuate the positive - eliminate the negative". Good job. Sending to my golf partners right now!
Thanks Brewster, just like the other video, appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Best wishes Stu 😊
This is exactly what I was needing. I've had a golf club in my hand for only about 3 months and couldn't figure out why I was bottoming the club out.. Thank you thank you
My pleasure Nick - please watch “the ultimate grip guide” and “make golf simple” videos. Just for you! Best wishes Stu
This really works in quite an amazing way.
Absolutely jaw dropping. Stuart you are a genius. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed Rennie - High praise Sir. Thank you so much. Best wishes Stu 😊
Superb explanation. Totally different feel than i have ever had. Andy
Thanks Andy - much appreciate the very kind feedback.
Seeing how the broom handle and brushes move is eye opening. Never knew how important the butt end of the club was and how it affects the club face, thanks for the education. The visual is shocking. No wonder whenever I try to swing out to the right I slice big time. With trial and error, I learned that for me to hit a draw, whatever is my target, I aim just slightly to the right of that target, place the ball a little farther back in my stance and make my normal swing; and for a fade, I aim slightly left of my target, place the ball a little more forward in my stance, use a slightly less strong grip, and make my normal swing. I tried fiddling with other ways to do it, but I’m most comfortable doing it this way and it works the best for me. Cheers.
Whatever works for you buddy! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts as ever, always enjoy reading them. Best wishes Stu 😊
Thank you - the visual opened my eyes as to my struggle with bad slice - especialy on longer clubs. Will use the drill.
Music to my ears Alex. Best wishes Stu
Good stuff. An excellent explanation of handle/hand path! This will definitely help one hit in to out the correct amount.
In to in Tom, in to in…..
In to in with the hands. Your path is about 4 degrees in to out with the face (per the Trackman numbers on your screen). I do think this is a good drill.@@GoodGolfCoaching
@@tomhowarth6697 At no point in the swing did the golf club go "out" 😊
The face did, but it was closed to the path enough to produce the draw shot that appears on your impact screen. Ball flight laws are pretty cool.@@GoodGolfCoaching
@@tomhowarth6697 Nope, it didn’t my friend.
I freaking love this. Im.off to Home Depot to get a broom! I'll keep ya posted.
Good man!! Please please share your experience, look forward to hearing all about it!
You certainly made a clean "Sweep" with this one Stu cheers😊
Haha boom boom! Thanks Graham!
this was a really good discussion and demonstration of the golf stroke. i've been golfing for 40+ years and have tried all sorts of ideas and methods to improve and have come across some things that work whether right or wrong. i have read many books and articles and many hours of trial and error practice but not until i discovered youtube have i made the most progress from info from golf guys like you, it's almost a bit more scientific. i have come to find what you have been discussing is quite valid. thnx so much for the help and looking forward to more info from you.
Steve, what a lovely message. Thank you so very much for sharing and super happy I’ve managed to have a positive impact on your golf. Plenty more to come and hope I continue to improve your game. Best wishes Stu 😊
I'm blown away by the whole Broom Series, great work Stu! I'm trying to teach myself the proper hand path, would a short video specifically showing hand path be possible? In any case greetings way down in south Alabama and keep up the good work, thanks.
Hey John - hand path video on its way for you Sir, no problem. 😊 thanks for all the kind comments! Best wishes Stu 😊
Excellent video especially te part of the shaft lying down and the pull down and around .
Thank you my friend! Glad you enjoyed 😊
Super duper video! This one provided a lot of clarity.
Fantastic Frank! Super happy it’s helped you Sir. Best wishes Stu 😊
There's so much to this. You get this and you get the golf swing.
I thought low markers who compressed the ball or could chip sublimely was because of some gift from God.
I spent over 30 years in my backyard trying to chip.
Now that I get how to balance the shaft and how the levers work: it's a bloody snack.
AND : do check your grip.
Priceless Stuart : bloody priceless.
Thank You.
Grateful Aussie.
Thank you my friend, really appreciate your very kind feedback, always. best wishes Stu
Oh Coach my Coach... mind blowing sir...love your stuff ! Was watching a vid you had talking about time with the Aussies down unda. Just how in the heck did you figure all this out my friend? Great detail and you have a great way of explaining and coming across loud and clear plus I love your humor and talk... oh Coach my Coach!!!! Bravo ! Been watching all i can get on your channel so now it's time to hit da range ! Ty Stu!!!
Go do it Gregory!! Let me know how it goes. 😎
Bravo..really good stuff my man Stu!
Thanks so much Gregory!
Thank you for this video. I have never seen this training technique before. Even so, I look forward to trying it because your points made sense to me and I believe that my game will benefit. God Bless.
I truly hope it will Mark, I am more than confident it will have many positive affects. I wish you well with it Sir and please let me know how you get on. Best wishes Stu 😊
Wondered where this was going at the start but the broom makes it all very clear. Great video Stuart.
Thank you very much John! Hope you’re well Sir. 😊
This was an amazing lesson. I have it downloaded now and I plan to use it every day and see what happens. Thank you very much!
Glad to hear it, let me know how you get on! Best wishes Stu 😃

Thank you so much!
My pleasure Stephen!
Brilliant mate...must try, makes so much sense
Thanks bud - appreciate the kind feedback, let me know how it goes! Best wishes Stu 😊
Brilliant stuff. Such a clear & simple explanation
Thanks Glen
Working the broom on trackman. Feeling a bit stuck at the bottom and can’t get “swing direction” to zero or positive. Always 6 or more negative ? Help
Too many variables to give you a certain direction Glen - sorry to be evasive, I don’t like guessing.
Past few months I developed inside out swing (as instructed). Lots of power, huge draw/hooks, low flight, no consistency. Couldn’t figure out how to adjust. Focus on the handle by pulling out then down and in to left leg. Brilliant. Will work on the feels.
Great to hear you’ve seen the reasoning why that route isn’t productive and you’re back on track. Any questions about anything at all. Please don’t hesitate. Best wishes Stu 😊
Finally I think you hit the nail on the head going to go it a go thanks
Love it Craig - let me know how the Broom goes and thanks sharing your thoughts! Best wishes Stu 😊

Off to put a grip on that broom in the shed… Really helpful video.
Music to my ears!! Good James, let me know how it goes please 🙏 😊
This SOB can teach!
Hahah thank you!
Liked and subscribed. I want to see more of this man’s insights.
You can be sure of that my friend; plenty more to come, and welcome to the channel!! Best wishes Stu 😊
Very interesting indeed. This really trains the hand path and has really opened my eyes as to how the hands work in an arc around the body. It has has given me a simple visual understanding of what my hands should be doing. After rehearsing with a broom it is simple to transfer that feeling to the club. I am now seeing how the hands move through impact and move in and up. Its actually very simple, but I have made it very difficult for the past 20-years. Many thanks for showing this.
My pleasure Rich 😊
I have just edited last nights comments to make it a little more comprehensive. I am sharing this video with a pal of mine (a senior as I am), as I know he would gain from it. What you have produced makes so much logical sense.
@@alvor2762 really pleased you can see the translation to golf club. 😊
That what i m working on..
Better contact,shaft lean ..etc..Thank you.
Love hearing the progress reports, keep them coming Alain. Any questions you have, be sure to ask! Best wishes Stu 😊
Wow!!! This should the first lesson ay golfer learns.
Hopefully this will help me brush up on my swing plane delivery.
Wasted as a golfer!! 😂😂 Super happy you enjoyed the video, let me know how the cleaning up of your golf swing goes and keep it swept at all times 😂🙄 Best wishes Stu!
I also notice you have to continually move/swing your arms thru the complete swing. great demo...thanks for sharing. This helps me understand what my instructor was telling me.
Thanks so much for the lovely feedback and super happy it’s helped you with your coaching. Best wishes Stu 😊
Hands in, club head out, excellent video
Thanks so much Richy!! Appreciate your comment, best wishes Stu.
another Great Explanation/Video Stuart, broom has been modified to fit ....... Swiss ball Drill taking centre stage first, have a great day mate,
Thanks Alan, great to see you yesterday! Look forward to catching up soon! Best wishes Stu 😊
I've found that just imagining swinging a push broom, as per your excellent drill , while hitting balls with an actual golf club, is like a magic elixir for my swing. I haven't even tried the drill with an actual push broom yet, but plan on buying the lightest weight plastic one that I can find. Many thanks for this, Stuart.
One of many benefits that I noticed right away, was that I was able to get a better turn with my 78 year old body, at least partly because, the drill stopped me from over-restricting my neck turn during the backswing.
Hi Dave - lovely feedback, and please please let me know how you find the drill when you get a broom! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! Best wishes Stu 😊
@@GoodGolfCoaching The video that you referred to, about having to pull and using the left foot as a downswing trigger fits very well with the broom visualization. Your description of the sequenced pressuring of the left foot was the best that I've seen. I think that some instructors over emphasize the crushing of something under your heel idea, so it becomes a violent rather than smooth move. Thanks again Stuart.
My pleasure Dave - thank you so much for the wonderful feedback.
Great advice. Thanks
My pleasure Birdie Juice, hope more birdies ensue! Best wishes Stu 😊
Like your method and have practiced the broom control.its just the bit on the ball strike moment.
Check out my ball striking videos!
Fantastic video 👍👍
Thank so much Dave - much appreciated Sir. Best wishes Stu 😊
Very well explained and great visuals. I know that I tend to slide my hips and lean backward as I start my downswing but wasn't aware what too much trying to pushing hands out opened the club face that badly.!
I tend to struggle with the turn to finish but now watching that vid I can get that rubbish out of my head. (I'm guessing pros can get away with it via their expert hip movements, as some on YT really press home the issue.?)
Now - wheres that broom... 👍
Thanks for the insights into your issues Lee - please please please watch my “you must pull the club” video and it will solve your sliding hip issue and lean back. Best wishes Stu 😊
You're a great coach. I've always hit the ball pretty straight, but I believe I've chased the draw in the wrong manner with inside out and standing the handle up. I'm watching all of your content (especially the shot making), and it is so in line with what i feel when i am hitting shots (vs playing make a pretty golf swing). Keep up the good work, and thank you. Do you happen to do online lessons?
Hi DSC - hugely appreciate the kind feedback Sir, and I am equally as happy that the insights I am providing resonate with you my friend. I do indeed offer online lessons via the Skillest app, which you can find the link to me in some of my most recent descriptions or simply search for me on Skillest. Look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes Stu
Great video Stu. I think this is a similar technique that Mike malaska and Scott hogan teach which they call the flip out. I’ve started to use this technique recently as I was starting to get stuck trying to drive the elbow forward so much
You might want to check out my video “don’t tuck your elbow” which may help you also. Best wishes Stu 😊
Great video series. Can I put a weight at the end of the golf shaft ( ie. “I gotcha”swing weight, to do the same thing? Keep those videos coming. Thanks
Hey Elliot, nope, won’t be the same at all. Get a broom, 20 bucks or £15, cheap and way more effective. Best wishes Stu 😊
I took to golf at 25 and after a bunch of years struggling, settled into a self taught swing with what you would call, a freakishly strong grip. It worked for me though, and I could smash the bloody cover off the ball. I once drove a 400 yard par 4 all carry and would regularly be on or near the fringes of 345+ par 4's. I tried to qualify for the LDT in the 90's but could never keep it in the grid with a gallery watching.
I played to a 2.35 for about a year but was CONSTANTLY told... "you can't play golf holding a club like that" you need lessons. I finally gave in and went to a pro who plays in 5 or so PGA events a year. He promptly changed everything and insisted that I needed to drop my hands towards my heels on the down and then rotate hard with right side bend. Since those lessons(that ruined me) I've never felt the power of SAMASHING a ball again. Occasionally I would get one out over 300 but could barely sniff 250 ever since.
Until now that is!!! After stumbling onto your videos, I went to the basement and executed the broom drills over and over.(quite strange to not be bending in half to the right and dropping my hands like an ape) until I got the feel.
Today, I went to the range on this cold 28 degree New England day. I hit 125 balls and right from the very first strike, I teared up! The wear in the center of my T 100's is now going to quickly catch up to the heel and toe wear!!
Seriously, This was eye opening and AMAZING. I would say that out of the 125 hit, about 25 were not in my created fairway and only 5 of those 25 would I be searching for. The feeling coming off the club is phenomenal, the ball fight was a nice tight draw. At 64 years old my 3 iron(yup, still carry one) was flying 220 in the air. And swinging this way has absolutely no stress or adverse affects! It's comfortable! I'm freaking out here!, I'm back! Taking it to Pinehurst this Thursday.
In my 64 years on this earth, I've not once ever even THOUGHT of kissing a bloke!! For you, I'll make an exception😘 Cheers mate!
Ahhh William, hands down one of the my most enjoyable comment reads. Thank you so much for sharing my friend, and its so good to hear you have found your power again and enjoying punishing the golf ball! When youre in town, make sure you drop by and we'll get that kiss in, I wont tell my wife though!! Hahaha - Best wishes Stu
@@GoodGolfCoaching I went back to the range today to see if yesterday was a fluke. It was not.
It is about 10 degrees colder today(18f) and the wind is whipping right to left. I think I looked like an idiot to everyone, standing on the range mat in a t shirt but... first swing with a six iron and the ball took off like a bullet. A frozen bullet that went about 185 with a one yard draw! Pretty nice for having 20 mph right to left wind and snow blowing across the mat!
I looked at the face and there were little whiskers of ball covering sticking out of the center grooves... here come those tears again.
Subsequently, it was much like yesterdays session. A few pulls, a few pushes that did not come back even with the wind but for the majority of hits, just SMASHED! The point is, that swinging the way you explain, you pure it, and the wind has no effect.
It's quite amazing how you explain the way the club travels and, SHOULD travel without manipulation.(something I struggled with since those lessons that ruined me) and your drills just light it up in the mind almost instantly. I am very excited about what years I have left in my golfing life. I watched and WILL DO more of your drills and soon they will be replacing Ben Hogan's and Moe Normans pictures with mine as the best ball striker of all time! LOL
On a serious note, If people would just pay attention to what you are actually saying and REALLY do the drills, they would be amazed at the outcome. Hey, I've done what Pete Cowen and George Gankes and all the others preach. It didn't last, it was uncomfortable for me and inconsistent.
I can tell right from the get go, because of how hard, fast , and comfortably I can whip the club through now and, get quality, strikes and flight, I'll be back to a single digit in no time.
Like to say it's all me but, I give credit where credit is due and that is you. Cheers
Your messages are inspiring William and I’m truly grateful to you for sharing. I look forward to hearing more from you in the future of your quest to being back down at the handicap you belong. Best wishes Stu 😊
@@GoodGolfCoaching My good man,
I just returned from my golf trip to Pinehurst. We played 7 days straight and I am STILL excited for the future! A bit difficult to bring the ideas to the course at first but not awful...
Second day I broke 80 for the first time since my 2.3 handicap swing was taught right out of me, A looooong time ago!
79 on the Pine Wild Holly course! Was striking the tee ball and irons magnificently! Short game was firing on all cylinders! All subsequent rounds, the short game had cracks in 7 of the 8 cylinders LOL. Just kind of tells me where I really need practice🙄
Still, I was incredibly surprised at how far and accurate I was able to hit all clubs through the bag.
Probably hit 80% of fairways off the tee on some NOT SO EASY courses!!
I started out on Pine needles(women's US open course) with a bogey then 5 pars and a birdie, followed by, how the hell do you swing this thing? for the rest of the round?? I guess I let the damn brain get in the way.
This just solidifies that your videos, when truly watched with intent and purpose are second to NONE my boy.
I think the only issue I have is trying to keep cup in the left wrist through strike but, BLOODY HELL!
My wife wants to take another trip to Ireland but I think I'm going to put my foot down!!!
WE'RE FLYING TO THE UK AND I'M GOING TO SURREY!!! Cheers mate
Hey William - love this debrief. Just catching up on all replies to messages and grateful for the feedback. Hope the game continues to improve and look forward to meeting you! Best wishes Stu 😊
This is great. The amoung the handle needs to come into you to swing through is easy to see and feel with the boom. This making a lot of sense to me along with my re-discovering Jim Waldron's Arm Swing Illusion. I'd love to see you talk about that a little bit and how it all fits. I think this will really help with my thin/no divot and either push or hook miss, especially with irons.
Yes it will Robin.. Sadly I am not familiar with Waldron's illusion but ill take a look. Thank you so much for the lovely comments and wish you well with your golf Sir. Best wishes Stu

Thanks Stuart, eye opening really!!! What you said reminds me of an old golf book I read; “Swing the Handle not the Clubhead” by Eddie Merrins. Although I find your explanation has more meaning to me rally!!! Thanks a lot
My pleasure my friend, hope it helped as well as engaged. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. Best wishes Stu 😊
Great visual!
Thanks Frankie!!
Stuart thats a great example, however when youre using the broom as an example, you don't appear to pull the broom out in front of you like you do with a club?
Have you applied this drill? When you do it, it’s impossible to not pull the handle forward. Give it a go and let me know.
This broom drill is out there. I know the broom in the garage will never look the same to me.
The broom unlocks much mystery - glad you enjoyed! Best wishes Stu
Hi Stuart - love your videos and the broom analogy of a golf swing is very illuminating - you have a new subscriber. You lost me a little when you were showing the pulling of the club around the lead leg. Are you saying the pulling and downward pressure is the correct motion BUT that if you don’t have the correct grip THEN the face might open? Please could you tell me if that is correct then what grip do you recommend for this motion to work effectively and to be able to take divots.
Hi David, big thanks for subscribing my friend, and you absolutely understood correctly. Correct grip is essential. Best wishes Stu 😊
What about centrical force that forces you to swing inside-out
You been to appose it.
love the concept..
Thank you so much Albert!
Thank you for this. I am going to work on it in the practice bay with launch monitor at the PGA Superstore in Rockville, Maryland that I go to several days a week. I have noticed that annoying tendency you illustrate of finding your strike point is behind the ball even when you think you have applied swing corrections you have been learning. It takes a lot of forward shifting of the hips, getting the weight on the left foot starting early before the top of the backswing. Point number two, even then, I have found when I actually play a round that a lot of strikes that I thought were going to be good go high and straight to the right and miss the green. I double checked to be sure the bottom of my club face was aligned 90 degrees to the target line. I found that what I had to do was realign the bottom of the club face at address to be slightly closed or left of the target line. At least it seems like that. Now that I have watched this video I can see that what is happening to me is exactly what you are describing. Just one question. Many coaching videos by pros who seem to be very solid, and who the pro at my driving range agrees are good, place emphasis on that forward shift of weight starting early as you are still reaching the top of the backswing. They also stress that once your weight is on the left leg, rotating the hips comes easily, naturally. But if you start the forward shift late, as most of us duffers do, your weight is still distributed 50-50 or even a bit more on the trail leg near the bottom of the swing, so you cannot rotate and instead just spin the hips. I would like to know if you also make a forward shift on to the left or lead leg as part of the swing you are showing here? I could not see from the view from behind you.
Please watch my video “Power Up” - thumbnails says, “you must pull the club” and all your answer will be fulfilled. Thank you for being here John! Best wishes Stu 😊
Great lesson!
Thanks Dave! My appreciated.
Going to buy a wooden broom tomorrow. Any suggestions on broom handle length? Might need to cut it down.
