Looks just like my swing except he’s not fat like me
Crazy back flexibility. Probably best I have seen which is why his legs sway very little.
Is it me or his hip turn is pretty limited in the backswing?
Hey, what's the title of your intro song? Thanks. Great content btw
Sorry, I’m not sure! This was put together by an editor I used in the past.
Flush!
Brilliant
Perfection
That swing is more beautiful than Miss Universe!
Man is hard for to hit my lob wedge that low from that distance
I always focus on rotating through the shot, getting to my lead side, and never trying to help the ball up in the air by hanging back or scooping.
For me, the main question is on how to squeeze the ischium (sitting bones) ahead between the two heels! They originally laid far behind the heels
Super helpful. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! 👊🏼
His head turned to the target earlier than expected. Maybe ok for shorter irons?
Has oldtime lower body setup...along of angle in right leg in backswing..like Nicklaus. His coach says his lower body gets lazy, so the contuous angle of right leg allows that/helps. Right foot doesn't slip till after impact. Good video for me to learn from. I stop&start so many times that I have 3 or 4 different swings that each could shoot in 70s/less if I'd just choose one/stick with it. Neat/thx(for another swing).
Really good video. Well done.
Thanks! 🙏🏼
No big wrist angles or lag - like Steve Stricker. So not needed in best PGA & Senior 😊 Interesting...
Weekend warrior, low-mid 80s - back after a 14 year hiatus from golf. Guy I played with in a foursome the other day was like "has anyone ever told you your swing is just like Scotty Scheffler's?" I was like "no - who's that?". He laughed and told me. I was embarrassed. And here I am.
You didn’t know who Scottie Scheffler is?
@@JJG86 lol no! ` I haven't followed pro sports in well over a decade, let alone the PGA tour.
😂
I admire Scottie he’s a true talent ❤
I think it's great to consider all those possibilities with a putt, but how much time does it really take. I start counting slowly 1-10, probably taking about 15 seconds to hit a putt. It's a show on course management so on the green you should mention time constraints. Though explanations tale a lot of time.
He never really cocks his wrist they stay pretty neutral the whole time
So similar to Ben hogans swing
He doesn’t lag the club, he doesn’t keep his right elbow bent on the downswing as we see being taught?? He doesn’t keep his feet grounded?? He basically blows all the teaching methods today out of the water 😂😂😂 he doesn’t even throw his left hip back 😂😂 every method is that taught today, he doesn’t use, I am done
Very unique swing. He gets his weight so much front in downswing, with rather steep backswing, i guess sliding trailfoot back helps him not to come over the top. All in all he's obviously very much the dream mix of power and feel. Just very good combo. But again, so unique almost impossible to copy. It's a special talent.
1:08 and 23:15 are golden. I follow you on IG and love your content. Been golfing since I was 15 and 51 now but finally putting time into a more effective golf swing The residents of BC must be super lucky to have such a knowledgeable coach as yourself. Absolutely love these videos. Many thanks
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I appreciate you watching and learning from my stuff! Thank you very much. I’m lucky to have great people who take lessons from me and who follow my online stuff like yourself 🙏🏼
I love your channel and I love your explanation of a lot of things. Especially enjoy to watch you with the junior golfers on your Instagram channel. Thank you for the very good detailed explanation of a lot of things.
Thank you!! 🙏🏼 Great to hear, and thanks for watching!
Thank you very nice explanation
Thanks!! 👊🏼👊🏼
Gosh those feet.
The way he hits his driver and the tee still stays put, is what I want to emulate. I get steep at times.
Greats who let their feet slide. Greg Norman Gary Player Bobby Jones Just to name a few. GET ON THAT LEFT LEG AND FOLLOW THROUGH.
Nothing to see here folks, except a golfer. A golfer with his own swing: Who's a Baller. Period.
Mans club is barely past vertical and still hits it a mile. Goes to show that tour level sequencing and compression go a very long way
Beautiful swing. Idk his lead wrist is like that all the time. But in the particular video his wrist seems a tiny by cupped. And I’m talking like 1°
Pros start the down swing with their legs and hip turn
Needs a shot tracer.
I feel like we amateurs yank on the handle to start the downswing.. Pros not so much 😢
190 y par 3 for handicap golfers is a par 4. On for 2 and 2 putt. Break up into 140y +50y So please play holes in this way so that hcappers can relate to this.
Thank you sir. You are an excellent coach and go to great lengths to explain every little detail. Your inputs are very much appreciated...will be watching all your videos closely!
Ball striking ❤
Impeccable face control.
Great video guys :) When i try this I lose my spine axis resulting in getting closer to the ball and early extension - my feeling get to the right side and push from inside of foot to left and then post up pushing up and back. Seems right but can't change the pattern?
Thanks! If your shaft is steep in transition, your body will always want to stand up to compensate, which then leads to less rotation through the ball. OR if your club face is too open coming down, you’ll also want to stand up to extend your arms in an attempt to shut the face. All of these things in the video can work well when shaft and face are in good positions 👍🏼
I dont know where you play but if you would try to play a flop shot in Spain during the summer with your 12 bounce wedge you would duff/thin every shot, specially if you will keep the weight on your left foot.On a hard lie your club will bounce and it will expose the leading edge that will hit the ball. You need instead a very low bounce wedge to play in South Europe durung the summer.High bounce wedges for flop shots are ok only in soggy conditions during the winter in North of Europe
Well, I personally wouldn’t duff or thin every shot since I know how to manipulate the bounce to make it work. But I understand what you mean. There’s no question that firm, tight lies need less bounce. And vice versa. Thankfully they make plenty of bounce/grind options to choose from. High bounce is also not only good in soggy conditions. I understand that if your goal is to only hit flop shots and no other shots, then lowest amount of bounce would be necessary on firm, tight conditions. But most golfers are hitting a lot of other shots around the green (like bunker shots) that they may benefit from more of less bounce. If you travel, or if your climate changes a lot during the year, I always recommend having 2 lob wedges, low bounce and mid-high bounce. Then you can play anytime, anywhere.
This is actually on 1.5x speed
I have narrowed down a ball for my swing speed. (82) Vice pro seems to work well and i am trying the new speed soft with great results
great video, i have been golfing about 10 months now. This is giving me things to think about. I figure if i can get into these habits now it will help me in the future. I am at an 18 handicap now. Going lower every week.
Hey, thanks for watching! The way we play and think about shots can easily save golfers tons of shots. As you get better and better, your aim can slowly get closer and closer to your target. But even still, pros don’t aim at every pin. You might see them hit a ball left or right of the pin by 10-20 feet and you think they pulled it or pushed it, when in reality they probably hit it exactly where they wanted to.
So crazy how much his feet move on all his shots.
Most of the movement comes after he has struck the ball.
Only after he makes contact does the feet move
Pure
He plays the ball back farther back in his stance than most I have seen. Easier to hit the ball first. I play it further forward and hit behind the ball on occasion.
When I play it further back I have a tendency to push slice.
Further you put it back in your stance the more your club path will be coming from inside-out. It also probably isn’t giving you enough time to square the face. If you worked on closing the face more throughout your swing you would turn it into a draw.
thats just the camera angle.
@@arjanpetersenit's literally not
Excellent summary of sequence. Question. No one ever seems to complete the ground to ball contact. Either ground sequence or ball contact, not both. So, I find when I get one thing right the other goes wrong. In your description, please show how to maintain spine angle and bottom of arch while pushing up on the lead leg. That is the point where I seem to "come out of it".
The biggest things to understand through impact are lower body rotation and upper body side bend. If you’re pushing the lead leg properly, it should be clearing your lead hip out of the way (rotation). Then, to stay in the shot and not “come out of it”, we need side bend on our trail side. This side bend is what keeps our upper body from popping up out of the shot. BUT, if you have not rotated well through the downswing, that side bend just turns into hanging back, and becomes fat shots or blocks/hooks. Great point, and I’ll try to make a video of that coming up 👍🏼
No divot? UA-cam golf pros please explain…
On the downswing ur pelvic region is thrusting towards the ball. Should be rotating and clearing ur left hip and side.
@@elee4368 I got that I’m saying hat he’s in the pga and there’s no divot in this shot.
@@elee4368 am I just tripping or should he have took a divot?
