Your golf tips have drastically improved my golf . You are a brilliant teacher! Not only has my ball striking got much better but I no longer have back pain . I’m 65 and no longer hit it very far but I appreciate your tips . With your swing i sometimes regain my old distances when I hit it squarely. Keep the great content coming and thank you!!!
I just started watching your videos. They are very helpful, simple and make sense! I've been watching many videos. I've got three pages of typewritten notes, which makes a difficult game that much harder. Thank you!
Your notes for the fundamentals of the swing can be one sentence. I suggest letting me guide you and sign up for my school if you want to learn this system properly
Whats interesting is that after practicing this and attempting to get my weight on the lead side with a "traditional" swing, I still find it difficult to weight shift properly. The results are instantly better if I just setup that way as Jim teaches. Which reiterates Jims point, the timing involved in getting the traditional weight shift right along with the turn and impact, is incredibly difficult for most of us. I'm 52 and dont want to suck at golf the rest of my life trying to figuring this out.. LOL
Another good point, hard to fall back if you have that much weight forward. I was a 3hdcp before a knee injury and didn't play for 8 yrs. Now its even harder to get the old swing back which I dont want anyway...it was old school, and not working...I only made it work because I knew my distances and ball flight. I've been doing Stack and Tilt for about 2 weeks, and doing ok. I'm going to give your method a try..thanks
Jim....I see a water/beverage container with the very cool VENETOS "V" on it,,,,,have not seen it on your pages,,,,,but do you have a Venetos Gear sales link? thx much,, Pards
Hey Jim, great stuff, I can’t afford your online school but I have a question, when you set your weight forward and close your stance does the front shoulder move closer to the ball ? I think sometimes I may be moving it too far forward, is there a drill to make sure that’s correct
JIM....You have said in some videos that you prefer a Strong Grip,,,,,in some I see a strong left hand and a fairly neutral right....in this video,,both look from my angle to be neutral.....is that because of the shot you are hitting or do you experiment with yourself sometimes to fine tune?
@@PARDS2 both hands have very light pressure and the position of my hands is based upon the pivot, not an independent arbitrary position of the hands. If you pivot properly, your hands will be correct on the club. All explained in my school.
I appreciate these videos. Does the online program show one how to fade on demand? I have not seen any videos that talk about this. What is the secret?
Hi John, very different from stack and tilt; they tilt - I don't tilt, they hit with their trail arm - I conduct the swing with my lead arm, they manage movements - I manage stillness, they produce less power and more spin - I produce Moree power and less spin.
@@jimvenetosgolf Last question: knowing that you are teaching “KEEP your weight forward”…I would think that you can’t help SOME weight shift to the back foot during the back swing. Please comment. Your videos and comments to questions are much appreciated!
@@JohnKostohryz I have no desire to shift my weight. See this Instagram post of me. The only reason why you want to shift your weight is because you think it’s powerful but ask yourself, are you creating power? The next step in the equation is finding out what happens when you don’t shift your weight. I have 400 videos in my school all organized for your best learning experience. Sign up and find out for yourself how powerful and easy it is to not shift weight. instagram.com/p/Bx8kr9tASs7/?
I spent all last week at Muirfield Village and I watched the best players in the world make lots of swings. Guess what? They don’t shift! Their weight is either centered or forward while the body rotates around a single axis.
I totally agree with the idea of having your weight on the lead foot at impact, but aren’t you losing a lot of power & club speed because you’re basically just swinging with your arms?
No power loss because I’m not swinging with just my arms. Using your body doesn’t mean moving your body. There are many sports and activities where using the body means the body is braced so the arms or legs can perform the action. In golf, the extra body movement leads to inconsistency and injury.

Making great sense, as usual, Jim. I cut my handicap from 17 to 9.6 with the swing that you teach.
love your teaching jimy golf has improved since I started to use your system

Great tip, will try this out later this afternoon…

Good point. Keep at it but if you want the fastest way to learn my system, join my school and allow me to guide you.
Great video Jim!

@@PARDS2 nope, my grip is the same, strong lead hand. I can see 4 knuckles
@@jimvenetosgolf SO 4 knuckles left and V of right ot right ear or so,,,,,,also Right grip looks very light at address,,,,,correct?

All explained in the school. It’s quite easy to fade the ball when you have a good swing path.
You do it like you would any slice shot, you cut across the ball putting side spin; just how the face of the club imparts spin.
Great video. Is this essentially stack and tilt? Love the unusual environment.

Great video, concise and easy to understand. Hey....what happened to the beard??
Question. Do you load at all to your back foot in the back swing then transfer to front ? Or do you keep weight on your front the whole time.
Like in a driver swing you would keep your weight on the front foot the whole time?
@@cadedelahoussaye5837 front foot heavy throughout the swing w all clubs but putter.
Do you drive the driver or hit the irons as far vs the the weight shift method?
Yes, if not farther. This is because my spin rate is efficient from the swing path
I spent all last week at Muirfield Village and I watched the best players in the world make lots of swings. Guess what? They don’t shift! Their weight is either centered or forward while the body rotates around a single axis.
Looking younger Jim!
Man's a genius

Don't you lose a lot of speed/power when you eliminate the shifting of your weight?
Stack and Tilt is still being taught in 2022?
It’s not stack and tilt, in fact it’s nothing like it.
