There is a story about Stadler and a college tournament at Torrey Pines South Course. Stadler played for USC, he almost missed his tee time and showed on the first tee in hiking boots. Temp was in the high 50’s and was raining off and on, with 30+ mph winds. Stadler shot 67 and nobody else broke 75 for that round, and just a handful of players broke 80.
A great example Christo. As a piece of trivia……Stadler was leading the 1982 Masters by 6 shots with 7 holes to play. He bogeyed 4 of the 7 holes (including a 3 putt on 18) and ended up in a sudden death playoff which he won on the first hole.
Wow, I was on the edge of my set here hoping he would win. I can't believe it. He surw was mad at himself but hung with a steely resolve that only the over the top swing can provide, lest you become a chip shot cookie cutter and lay up and play for third place.
This is exactly how I swing my club. I can’t find too much info online about my swing. Because of this I tried to adopt a more conventional swing and the results were terrible for me. Lol. I recently reverted back to my natural swing. My last 3 rounds were 78,78, and 80. I’m excited to play again!!!!!
I might as well be looking in a mirror watching Craig's swing. I'm 51 this year & still hit driver easily over 300. (115 chs, low 2,000 bs) Folks, don't let ppl fix it if it ain't broken. And for those who struggle with too much fade with your irons, just keep the face square to the ball during your backswing. Maybe strengthen your left hand a touch. For some of us, swallowing the club to come from the inside just isn't natural. Thanks for the blast from the past. "The Walrus" was a beast!!
Thanks for this. I’m struggling with my swing right now. I went to get a lesson and my coach said I’ve got the craig Stadler and I don’t need to change it if it works. But, I’m more steep than him, so I’m trying to shallow out more.
Wish we could see you do this over the top video for JB holmes. Your videos are so amazing and OTT is definitely the past, Present, and FUTURE OF GOLF! CHEERS TO YOU CHRISTO!
Thanks for the video. I wondered when you were going to show Craig’s swing. I saw him a few times at the Canadian Open and he was such a solid ball striker.
Wow, I wish I saw him in person!
He had a strong hip turn. You could actually *see* his hips back then 😄 👍
One of my faves!
Me too. I got a kick out of just watching Craig Stadler walking down the fairway! And his son is the spitting image of him.
And btw Fred Funk was another golfer I enjoyed watching play.(Fear the 🐢)
@@donarthiazi2443 love portly guys with give forearms and a waddle who can fist out strike it
Another week and the ranges open up here!! Cant wait to get on this!
Go get it, Dave!! Feels good man.
Sandy lyle another great ott swing
Allthough i are english, a lot of american golfers were great golfers and also individual Craig was right up with them. keep up the good work.
Seeing that upper back hunch in Stadler’s set up and swing. I interviewed for a golf instructor position and the criticisms were (1) I hit a draw, and (2) my upper back is hunched.
Haha. That’s crazy, man!
@@MiracleSwingExperience
Oh, and he said he could not market that swing with that posture. This was before Covid 19. Apparently, the public is enamored with the notion of a very straight back in the set-up and swing. It looks neat and tidy. It looks ultra modern.
The modern swing incorporates Rodney Dangerfield's golf bag. But not the furry goffer.
Not every shot perfect, but working great for me. I'm pretty much just thinking full turn then hit the ball as hard as I can. Kind of like an ax. The club head rotates automatically I don't even think about "squaring the clubface".
Again, thank you!
Thomas same here. It makes so many things happen naturally!
This country was built with an ax. And the game shall be won with a sledge hammer and an ax. Thanks
@@quantumpotential7639 So True!
Christo, what is the lead arm,hand, and shoulder doing as you’re “throwing “ down with your trail hand? Pulling? Thanks man,I’m pounding my wedges through 7 iron. Longer clubs are steep… I’m really enjoying seeing these early pros and your commentary is quite informative.
I just feel like my lead arm is connecting my club to my body. Make sure you swing your longer clubs back deep!
Thank you!
I thought it was inside-up-out. Where does deep enter the equation? Is it a new variable? I like the idea of the left hip joint being connected to the right shoulder ball joint which is the a of b in the torque creation equation. It plays a role in helping the shoulder load power. As much power as the Holy Spirits swing
? No, but close. Thanks, now let us pray.
You said his approach to 18th set up his Masters victory, but remember he actually went into a playoff and won 🏆
Hi Christo, you are a game changer. I tried OTT only once yesterday on the course and saw the improvement. I hit some pulls to the left. Do you know how to avoid the pulls? Thank you so much.
Weaken your grip and move the ball forward!
@@MiracleSwingExperience Thank you!!!
I think the walrus shows the ott move really well.
He was a supreme smasher!
Yes, I think he and Carl Peterson's swings provide the best illustrations of the in, up and ott movements; easiest to emulate.
I emulate Stadlers mid section, his mustache, and swing. Which because of the great results means I don't have much an opportunity to work on my anger side of things. Sometimes however I do get tired of seeing the ball go into the cup after just three shots and have to wait while everyone else is taking bunkers, looking for balls, going back to the tee, or four jacking greens. Speed up play people by going OTT. Thanks
I feel like the OTT swing is a natural loop unlike a "normal" swing where the transition from backswing to downswing can be a huge issue. I have much better timing with the OTT than a traditional swing.
Christo I can see the downswing hand path is outside of the backswing hand path. The shaft is also shallowing on the downswing. Is my observation correct?
Yes. Many guys are telling people to lay off the shaft. His swing does it naturally!
I kinda wish the dots were colored differently on the backswing and downswing. Maybe blue on the backswing and red on the downswing or something
Craig Stadler's (CS) swing may not be a thing of beauty but it certainly got the job done. There's a story of a would-be pro playing a friendly with CS at Torrey Pines where with no warm-up, CS shot 65 and the would-be pro crumbled to a 79. That would-be pro later became a sports physio!
Let's be fair. Walrus put that big behind and hips behind it and dropped it on plane. Craig was always fun to watch.
Craig generated so much power!! The guy could flat out smoke em!!!
bruce leitzkie is the ultimate example of this swing
Great stuff
Thanks, Chad. Have you tried it?
Handle in and low left finish in the downswing....
How else can you cover or trap the ball?
I love that divot on 18!
The reason why he did so well over the top is because his motion he could do well with the over the top but now days with technology now days you slice the ball
Jones and Snead did too, but still stayed inside to square
Thanks for continuing to share videos...
Am having trouble with contact after making a swing change (leaving arms up/back and starting downswing with leg /hip movement) so I'm going to try a more inside take back same coming over the top a bit more next session.
Great that you're taking about different (and old school methods). They get lost in modern day sports site to biomechanists/scientists getting too theoretical, etc
Yes, try taking it back deep inside.
@@MiracleSwingExperience I'll give it a go
Is over the top , in your definition, any plane on the downswing that is outside the backswing?
Downswing over the backswing plane, yes.
@@MiracleSwingExperience yes. Agreed. Thanks for your content.
The Wright Brothers had two wings but one plane. What got them airborne is when one wing covered the draft of the other in a dynamic super set drag pedal left awl right full throttle just before takeoff .. impact in our case. Thanks
Notification Bell!! Were here!
I love the Merry Mex. He's a master at dropping it into the slot. HOW BOUT THAT!?!?! Lee says.
would you say he has an open stance + inside and up takeaway?
Yes, that is fair to say.
You're my modern day Hogan, if that's ok with you. I'm so inspired I just soooo excited about everything. Thanks
Moves so well for a bigger guy doesn’t he? Did it his way.
He sure does move well!!!
Stadler was a natural talent who used physics of a large core to really store up power and transferring it with his powerful legs to the arms. His mustache added a turbo fan effect to the club which fanned his flame for the KaPoW 💥💥 at the oh wow moment of impact.
He has great, soft hands around the green. I’m my top 3 all time.
No offense but is isn’t an over the top swing. It’s an inside take away. Much like litzske or Snead to name a few. While the downswing is routed outside the take away none of these players get steep . The left wrist is a huge give away.
Stadler's build, fade, and OTT move are similar to another Craig, Australian pro Craig Parry. Parry did well in the 90's although Johnny Miller did say that his swing would make Ben Hogan puke!
Another one for you - Tommy Aaron. Lovely swing, accurate player. But as he doesn’t ‘swing left’ a modern player couldn’t possibly swing like him, not en vogue
Thanks. I’ll check it out!
Tommy Aaron loved to wear brown and he laid it off at the top much like George Knudson. But flatter. Don January is another cat worth looking into, as is Rod Curl (the PGA's first native American to play the tour). Thanks
I flushed it today Ot swing
But is there a pro's swing that DOESN'T follow this same general path?
I was just watching Jason Kokrak dropping the club under.
@@MiracleSwingExperience hmmm.... ruclips.net/video/NoAgDccxRmE/видео.html
I like to brush my right hand against my pants. cupped and relaxed at the top, with a strong left wrist to the target right before impact.
I see you have advanced baggage which is nice.
But Trevino???
Just found this channel…with all due respect I do not see any over the top action in your swing. You are taking the club back inside and returning it inside to out
Wrong once again.....
Wrong? The only wrong is thinking that what God blesses can later be cursed. The swing can't be cursed. Even Jesus is over the top. You should see him stripe a 1 iron. The ball rises 💪
