I watched 70% of this the other day and something clicked. Went out and have been hitting my irons my max distance with ease. Grants lengthy frame really helped me see the full swing, follow through - and how I needed to complete the swing. Now watching again to see if I can get more “clicks”.
What you are referring to with the torso and head staying back while the lower half turns through the ball is exactly what a proper baseball swing is and what you hear on every field in America from coaches when they scream stay back. It does not mean keep your weight on your back foot it means rotate your lower half and torso through without your front hip moving forward and vertical over the front foot . That would be a lunge in baseball and a no no. I play and coach baseball and all baseball players on the golf course I tell them to stay back and think high fly ball to Right Center field for a righty and on iron swings they need to lunge and get up and on or over their front side foot. A huge majority of golfers were baseball players and the que stay back and get your backside through is going to fix their driver swings asap. Great video great teaching. Grant is a stud on the course for sure
Love that Greg----great points! LOTS of similarities with good baseball swing and good golf swing as I see it. Golf obviously on tilted plane with ball on ground and requires more clubface closing but LOTS of same body motions. Good stuff!!
So awesome to see the collaboration with Grant. Eric is my favorite youtube instructor and Grant is my favorite youtube golfer. Great lesson and a feel I am working on.
Damn guys thank you dearly for posting this. I'm heading to the range to practice this! I am totally moving forward a bit with my driver, a little like I do with my irons. You guys have helped me turn the light on and I thank you for that!
@@PerformanceGolfZone Would be cool to see you and Grant do a 1v1 or 9 hole scramble together sometime. I think you guys are probably pretty close in skill level, Eric you may actually be a bit better so it would make for great content. Anyways just my 2 cents lol.
awesome swing, one thing that the vid didn't mention is the weight distribution at setup - even with the tilt should the weight still feel a touch more on the lead foot?
But I start at right shoulder tilt but my confusion comes when I rotate a lose the right shoulder tilt because my left shoulder is now down. Seems like it would only matter as you’re coming through on the upswing.
For sure need to replace the setup tilt with some left side bend in backswing to keep inclination to ground and then add right side bend in downswing. You add the tilt at setup to pre set the head more back So when you add left side bend in backswing it STAYS back....if you didnt add the tilt your head wouldn't be back enough and you'd need to move back too much through the ball which would inhibit rotation
@@PerformanceGolfZonethat explains a ton. I always was confused as how right tilt pre-rotation was even relevant. Great stuff. Still must have a leak in my swing as my ball speed sticks between 155-161, club speed 105-109. As a 6’3 265 lb former college baseball player I feel it should be more, BUT maybe cuz I’m 54😂
G Money! Silky silky swing! But if you want to add some distance, learn to use your legs and ground forces a little more. Everything else stays the same. I was very inconsistent with driver until I learned to sit and play into my legs more instead of staying tall through the swing. . Instantly feels like a more athletic swing and move.
@@brycecarter1 1. I'm his elder. 😂. 2. Bryson told him the same thing. 3. He is an open student of the game and always wants to learn from others as well as help them.
@@brycecarter1 haha but the truth is I'm an inspiring wanna be golf coach. I mean would like to be one day. So I just say non sense like this all the time on better golfers channel to see if I might happen to know what I'm talking about. If not, I just keep learning. Believe it or not I have actually helped a couple golfers before doing this that are wayyyyy better than me at playing this game. I wouldn't have ever came up with this dream if I didn't hear the golf saying that goes "those who can't play golf, teach". So they are saying I have a chance!!! Hit me up for some lessons one day. 😂😂
@@derekunderwood3356 Not only Bryson but every pro always said driver swing power comes from the ground(irons too but not as much especially as you go shorter clubs).
Grant is super flexible. Terrible comparison to most of the guys I know. Obviously fundamentals are great. Not a lot of guys I know have shoulders that can do what his do.
@@PerformanceGolfZone No problem, just something I noticed with a lot of the 15 plus handicaps I know. Still great content, of course we can all learn from him. Reason a lot of us swing the way we do is down to mobility and flexibility!
A nice swing for sure, but if Grant wants to get to the next level IMHO he needs to start spending some time in the weight room. If it's good enough for Tiger Woods, then.........
since 1973 the most amount of golfers in a year to graduate college and get their tour card is 3 within a year :). Tough to turn pro. Grant's a heck of an amateur tho :)
Dude you are so funny. I also do not care much for YT golfers. But being able to shoot par puts you in a different league regardless whether you are pro or amateur
Grants swing is so pure!
100%!!!

Heck yeah---love that!!
Grant does have one of the best frames for studying 😂
Grant has the best golf influencer game overall
I love em, George Bryan is different.
Great dude and great player!
Rick shiels beat him in a match
@@gongduh😂😂😂
Grant is great he really is, but George is just a dawg

N̈ice watching Grant's swing. Something to emulate.
100%!
Love Grants swing and colas with Eric.
Appreciate it!! So smooth!
So awesome to see the collaboration with Grant. Eric is my favorite youtube instructor and Grant is my favorite youtube golfer. Great lesson and a feel I am working on.
Hell yeah---Appreciate it! Hope this one helps!
This has been such a great collaboration. Thanks for this series!! Keep it up!
Appreciate it Lloyd! Good fun!
great breakdown! Love Grant's swing!
Appreciate it! Us too!!
Nice video. Love the colab with Cogorno. He teaches a lot of the stack and tilt concepts
Thanks Mike!!
Good stuff and points involved and can help golfers that do not have the flexibility that Grant has too. 👍
Yes! Thank you!
Damn guys thank you dearly for posting this. I'm heading to the range to practice this! I am totally moving forward a bit with my driver, a little like I do with my irons. You guys have helped me turn the light on and I thank you for that!
I've got faith in ya!!! Hope this helps!
Eric, Grant...excellent content 👌
Appreciate it!!
Great video with 2 of the best on youtube!
Thanks Will!

Thanks!! Yeah I would look to be about 50/50 at setup......60/40 lead side totally OK with irons/ball on ground
Awesome!!
Thanks Jeff!
Great vid
Thank you!
Grant.... Would you consider a tour of Tasmanian courses? 🇦🇺⛳❤️
We'll see if we can get him over there :)
Such a smooth easy. Something to emulate.Does his weight in effect move from heel to heel?-Be well-Russ
Yep!!
GH and EC. GH with that sweet sweet swing!
Yessir!!!

Teach me your ways Grant. Let’s run an experiment. Let’s see how far we can take my handicap down.
Love it!! Will be rooting for you :)
Would love to see an “Eric Fixes Bobby Fairways” series
Lol dude me too!!!
@@CoachSully44 this is an awesome idea. We all know BDS could use the help
Nobody fixes Sir Robert Fairways

@@derekunderwood3356 Not only Bryson but every pro always said driver swing power comes from the ground(irons too but not as much especially as you go shorter clubs).
We could all use more distance!!
Grant Hovart definitely hits more fairways than George Bryan when using the driver.
:) Both great swings and great drivers of the ball!
I heard the good good guys are stuck up except forBubbie and Grant and Micah who left that’s a shame and no wonder those guys left .
Do you know how hard that is to do with a 70 yr old body that has always hit a slice to do this.
Hey David! Haha I hear ya---hopefully you can use some of our other videos to fix that slice FIRST!!
are his hands behind the ball at address
A little bit of that is camera angle.....want the shaft to be relatively straight up even with ball at setup
Grant is super flexible. Terrible comparison to most of the guys I know. Obviously fundamentals are great. Not a lot of guys I know have shoulders that can do what his do.
Thanks for the feedback!!

Tilt back slightly in your setup. 5 second video. YW
Lol
grant talking/showing his feels but having it covered up by the swing slow-mo is kinda bad timing
Thanks for the feedback!
Just curious: why does Performance Golf disable the dislike button?
Hey! Not sure...I see it on my end?
(Hopefully you're not looking to press it) lol
wtf is this
Hopefully a video that helps you hit your driver better :)
Lost me with grant lol sorry but still dig that tips and coaching.
What don’t you like about Grant? Is he too hard to emulate?
Thanks for watching :)
The dude isn’t a pro. He’s a mediocre YT golfer. Why should anyone care?
since 1973 the most amount of golfers in a year to graduate college and get their tour card is 3 within a year :). Tough to turn pro. Grant's a heck of an amateur tho :)
Dude you are so funny. I also do not care much for YT golfers. But being able to shoot par puts you in a different league regardless whether you are pro or amateur

He is better than you will ever be and would smoke you around every golf course on the planet
