I was doing this 10 years ago, even broke 90, then, I started listening to the traditional golf instruction, and my swing became FUBAR’d. I gave up golf for a few years, then cam back, stop listening to the bulls**t and went back to standing on my lead foot and enjoying golf again. Jim, glad to see someone is teaching this game the way it should be taught. Thanks man!!
Pay attention people. This is gold. I don’t use the complete Venetos system but I practice using it because it gives me the feeling of what proper contact is like and it promotes a shallow path. By all means convert completely to Jim’s method if you want but if you can’t bring yourself to do it completely then use it when you practice. Every aspect of the system will help your swing.
After following the Jim Swing I hit ball after ball after ball absolutely sweet and with pure contact. I've wasted years and lots of money following the conventional swing. Within 2 months of following Jim's Philosophy I now play like I've always wanted to and actually enjoy golf 😂 If I could afford to join the academy I wouldn't hesitate but alas times are hard so his you tube vids will have to do for now 👍 Thanks Jim you are the Jedi master of the golf swing
Tried Jim's swing for two days, today I was swinging the club much more relaxed like a pendulum, staying in my front side not as closed as yesterday and it worked really well! Some nice high distance with a slight draw. I applied the front side pressure and swing with my usual set up and it worked as well. My take away was not the issue it was staying on my front side with a relaxed pendulum like swing. Great tips and swing, if your having trouble with your swing try this it works very well. As Jim says you don't have to think about every little part of your swing, you just stay relaxed and hit great shots. Today my swing was the most relaxed it's ever been.
I'm 49, I just started using this swing and its a game changer. I am a good golfer. I shoot in the mid 70's to low 80's but I'm inconsistent when it comes to my second shot. Using this swing has greatly improved my ball striking. I'm glad i found you!! Thanks!!!
Years ago mid 90's I had a bad car wreck. Crushed my right ankle. Missed a lot of work. When I could stand up I went to the range to do this thing I love.......golf. mostly to reset mentally. Did not care if I hit it well. I could only stand on my left side. Right ankle was impossible to put weight on. Hit the ball better standing on one foot than ever before. Consistent tight draw. Powerful accurate unbelievable results. I played at the Hank Haney Golf Ranch on crutches and wearing a boot for a year. Broke 80 regularly. This is the swing you teach. As the strength returned on the right side I immediately began to do the conventional swing dance and went back to inconsistent sucking again. For years.......but no more. I saw your method and a light came on. I can beat all my cronies now on any day I putt decent. Consistent tight draw. Play from the middle of the fairway and never in trouble. One thing. This swing works awesome, but no good swing will overcome a bad grip. Please tell people to focus on getting thier hands especially the left hand on the club right. Thank you so much Jim Venetos!
Just saying thanks. Work as a ranger a couple of days a week to get free balls and a couple of free rounds. I'm a retired firefighter and have had two back surgeries. Had a great practice today with no pain and had a in you face south Florida wind. Amazing Jim, thanks for helping me play golf again.
I tried it, by the second bucket of balls, i found i could do it. After 3 months i am now hitting the ball straighter, mostly with a draw. At least 20 yards further with my irons. Difficult to club myself as i have to convince myself to take less club. Its a great situation to be in. Not scoring well because you hit it too far. I know its only confidence and time and i will play to a much lower handicap! Thanks jim!!
I’ve played my home course hundreds of times. Seeing this video and trying this swing for the first time, on three of the nine holes I hit the longest drive I ever hit. Can’t wait to play tomorrow.
Ive watched many of Jim's videos and I'll bet he's never made a flub in a video. There are no blooper reels. He's got it down. I can watch him all day, and may do, until my employer finds out.
I watch this a couple of hours ago,went to the driving range applied this technique and i never hit my iron's as consistent as i did this work's awsome. Thank you sir
Came by your videos via stack n tilt. Was at range this am this is an easier swing.. well till you get to longer clubs like you said.. but pw through 7 iron it was a lot of fun hitting draw after draw. But looking at this video I think I had the ball to forward . Will definitely check out online lessons mostly because I'm curious on grip and hitting longer clubs
After a few weeks of working on pre-setting my weight. I go out today and play 9 and shoot a 42....the last 2 holes did me in due to me getting a little quick or rotating too much in the swing. Thanks.
The man is right. If you don’t believe it, put a Callaway Power Platform (door wedge like device) under your trail foot or even just hit chip shots with with your trail heel off the ground. Both of these will place your weight forward and you will instantly see how much better you strike the ball. People ask why pro’s don’t pre-set their weight at address. The simple answer is that they possess great timing, the likes of which us mortals can only dream of. Pre-setting weight and keeping it there through the shot will help the majority of amateurs hit much better shots, play better golf and ultimately enjoy the game more. Try it.
First thank you so much for your videos. I watched them a while ago, tried it, had success, and then like the lame brain I am got attracted by an idea than was more conventional and thus started a road of frustration. I recently found this again went back to the range and was SO pissed! Why did I not stick with this!! I hit the ball so much better and more consistently. I live far away from you or I would sign up for lessons but I can't so I have a question. I understand the weight staying on the front foot and the lower body in cement idea. What about the upper body? Once that is set in a closed position at address does the upper body freeze in that position until impact? I find hitting from a close shoulder position works for me but not sure how rigid I should be about keeping the same shoulder angle. Maybe one of your videos addresses this? Thank you so much.
That's the whole point of the swing from what I gather the lead shoulder remains closed and still until after impact thus leading to a consistent/predictable low point
I agree with Alec Fortune. I have been on and off doing this swing for years, before I even knew about Jim. I found his channel about a month ago and thought wow. Someone has perfected what I have been trying to do for years. But I can not figure out to get power out this type of swing.
Jim. I have started working with your system for 3 weeks at the range and chipping green. I am starting to see things working for me. I struggle with power but it seems to be coming along. I am almost hitting as far as I did with the traditional swing except in 5-3 irons. I am guessing I subconsciously swing the club harder with these clubs trying to hit it further. Any tips on lower number irons with this really cool swing?
Will Hall yes sir...sign up for my school where you’ll have complete access to me and many more instructional videos than on UA-cam....I’ll get you sorted quickly.
Literally started golf by picking one instructor and it was Tom Seguto, stack and tilt. My base foundation for golf, being that I didn’t play as a child, is 70-80% weight on my lead leg, and I chicken wing with the best of them. Nice and simplified video, but adjusting weight solely does not fix your swing motion. I am walking proof.
😂 I've been sending it with pure accuracy ever since I've started watching, meditating & applying what this genius has been teaching us on his youtube channel. Definitely worth a like & subscription. I'd love for you to come out with a 3 wood video brother...
Good material Jimmy, I would like a bit more time and research before I subscribe . . if thats OK with you, but I do find your teachings quite fascinating
My first round of golf after the lockdown using this swing, found my irons going same distance as my old full coil swing but drives though feeling solid and slight draw seemed about 20 yds less. Using a 12.5 rogue vs 9.5 rogue, same exact shaft std setting???thoughts?
Jim I’ve tried hitting balls using your system . And was pleased with the some of the results. But most of all I had very few thin shots and fat shots,slices and hooks. I’ve tried to sign up and become a member of your academy with no success. I could be doing something incorrectly but have not received instructions to correct the problem.
This works amazing for short irons but what about long irons. I have a problem hitting my 4 and 5 irons consistently. The only issues I’m really having and putting could be better
@@jimvenetosgolf honestly that’s not a bad idea. Your videos have helped a lot. I have a good base for golf since I’m ambidextrous. Strong Left leg and left handed but I swing righty as you had mentioned. I just want to go from 87 to 77 and I’ll be happy lol
I have been playing for a year and am off 14 I have always used single plane as that’s what’s comfortable for me. Is this swing able to be used with single plane?
Your confusing yourself with all that single plane stuff , with this technique the club finds the correct plane naturally, just keep still very still and close the shoulders it'll work trust me !
Latif Kaba Your weight will be on your lead foot/leg/side from the pivot he shows. Not a lean, a pivot. 70% or more of your weight should be on your lead side and STAY THERE. Pivot, grip the club then just swing along your position.
I have a little confusion with my ball position. If my weight is over my lead foot the club should contact the ground in front of my lead foot. Yet I see that you place the ball in different places at address. Is it just camera angle glitches or am I missing something? I don’t want to start re-routing the club in the downswing.
Hi Jim..I can't sign up for your school because of my location, so what is the next step..I already anchor my weight on my left leg, I then throw my right hand through the ball, I don't however closely shoulders as you do..
I do everything Jim is saying but I get better results especially with driver & hybrids with weight on back not front foot How does one get personal lessons?
I still lose lag early at times with Jim’s swing. Maybe because the early release is ingrained in my muscle memory from all those years of swinging incorrectly?
John Iannelli your problem is simpler than that...you are trying to learn the swing on your own, don’t waste anymore time, sign up and allow me to guide you to better game. jimvenetosgolfacademy.com
Negative. I played D1 golf and professional golf, and, have always been one of the longer players in the field. My students also either gain distance or hit it as far as they would with the traditional swing.
Works great as long as I KEEP MY DAMN SPINE ANGLE and don’t “stand up”through impact (my biggest fault along with swinging too fast). Great instructor!
Jim would a straight push best be resolved by closing the clubface a few degrees pre-gripping, or is there some clubface rotating closed needed by the time impact occurs. #stillstayingstill
Robert Peachey negative, your shoulders are opening through impact. Could be caused by one of two things. Sign up, send video and I’ll get you sorted. jimvenetosgolfacademy.com
being "pre set" makes too much sense. I've coached my kids lacrosse teams from youth ball until high school and club teams. We teach how to be efficient in throwing and shooting motion. Example, with the speed of the lacrosse game, you must be in a position (pre set) to shoot quickly once receiving a proper placed feed. Jim is spot on especially when mentioning anyone with athletic ability should be able to put this together but with traditional golf instruction, you are bombarded with swing thoughts that confuse and waste the time for the recreational golfer.
One thing i dont get of this method.. usually i play with weight on front foot just for short approach shots or of i want to keep a low ball flight. Descending path Is going to be steeper in that way and,with low loft clubs,you are going to play just stinger shots (i never saw a video infact where he shots driver or woods). Plus, it looks like an arms only swing, with low shoulder turn, so i guess distances are going to be pretty short. I guess this method would be pretty consistent from 50 to 120 yards but im not sure It will work for any other parts of the game
Me personally I have lost no distance with my irons with Jim's swing I have only gained more accuracy which can't be a bad thing. However, I am finding it hard to play woods with the swing but I'll keep with it If you go through Jim's back catalogue you will find a couple of videos of him using woods 👍
juanatkins negative. Steep path isn’t created by your weight but by the position of your shoulders. Mine are closed which creates a shallow path. This allows me to hit high tight one irons. Don’t knock til you try it. Your perception isn’t accurate.
@@jimvenetosgolf ok but im not really sure It will work for woods as i said. Generally when i pivot on my left foot i have better contacts, and i see your method simplify a lot the thoughts about the swing ,thats why i would like to make a try with your method. But at the same time i see some incongruence that doesnt make me sure this method can be easily applied by everyone. For sure, i Will give It a try 👍
Your weight stays still for consistent contact, your body is closed for a shallow swing path. Consistent contact plus shallow swing path equals power and control over spin on the ball.
I lost power with this swing. Very simple swing and solid contact but I had no power. Had to look for a coach and go back to the conventional swing. One day when I don't care about power I will come back to this just because of the ease and consistency of the swing but I need power. You are way too constricted in this swing and have no idea what to do with upper body and backswing
You're already set in the backswing all you have to do is lift your arms to complete By losing power do you mean you've lost distance? As all my irons still go the same distance but with tighter dispersion 🤔
Alec Fortune I create big power and all my students that sign up for the school also lose no power or distance. Your experience just means you aren’t executing the swing properly. Sign up for the school and I’ll guide you.
@@jimvenetosgolf my main focus is the long game. If I sign up can we go straight to the driver and longer clubs? I so far can drive 250 meters and worked very hard for that distance and currently working to get more. With your swing I was only getting 150 meters...dead straight, very reliable wonderful stress free swing but no distance and I felt too stiff. But as you said it must be my execution. Will you help me with my driver and longer clubs for better distance?
they re-plant it before the change of direction in backswing, takes more timing and practice, it's a little easier to leave some pressure on your left side
How many baseball pitchers or hitters start on their front foot? How many hockey players slap with their weight on their front foot. Total BS. every person that starts on their lead foot will reverse pivot

juanatkins negative. Steep path isn’t created by your weight but by the position of your shoulders. Mine are closed which creates a shallow path. This allows me to hit high tight one irons. Don’t knock til you try it. Your perception isn’t accurate.
@@jimvenetosgolf ok but im not really sure It will work for woods as i said. Generally when i pivot on my left foot i have better contacts, and i see your method simplify a lot the thoughts about the swing ,thats why i would like to make a try with your method. But at the same time i see some incongruence that doesnt make me sure this method can be easily applied by everyone. For sure, i Will give It a try 👍
juanatkins sign up for the free trial and I’ll prove it to you. It’s worked for thousands of my students for 26 years.
I can grasp the whole concept of weight/pressure but can't grasp the bit about closing your body?
Your weight stays still for consistent contact, your body is closed for a shallow swing path. Consistent contact plus shallow swing path equals power and control over spin on the ball.
Jim needs to address the driver
John Klink I do, in my school, sign up and you’ll be addressed. jimvenetosgolfacademy.com
Lookin like Jeffrey Dean Morgan's brother
I lost power with this swing. Very simple swing and solid contact but I had no power. Had to look for a coach and go back to the conventional swing. One day when I don't care about power I will come back to this just because of the ease and consistency of the swing but I need power. You are way too constricted in this swing and have no idea what to do with upper body and backswing
You're already set in the backswing all you have to do is lift your arms to complete
By losing power do you mean you've lost distance? As all my irons still go the same distance but with tighter dispersion 🤔
Alec Fortune I create big power and all my students that sign up for the school also lose no power or distance. Your experience just means you aren’t executing the swing properly. Sign up for the school and I’ll guide you.
@@jimvenetosgolf my main focus is the long game. If I sign up can we go straight to the driver and longer clubs? I so far can drive 250 meters and worked very hard for that distance and currently working to get more. With your swing I was only getting 150 meters...dead straight, very reliable wonderful stress free swing but no distance and I felt too stiff. But as you said it must be my execution. Will you help me with my driver and longer clubs for better distance?
@@davytee6037 yes I mean I've lost distance. Must be the way I'm doing it...must be wrong.
Alec Fortune yes but how you learn to hit the longer clubs is by first executing the swing with shorter clubs properly. Gotta walk before you run.
I am a true believer in your teaching but what about all the great players that have always lifted their left heel on their backswing?
they re-plant it before the change of direction in backswing, takes more timing and practice,
it's a little easier to leave some pressure on your left side
How many baseball pitchers or hitters start on their front foot? How many hockey players slap with their weight on their front foot. Total BS. every person that starts on their lead foot will reverse pivot
Have you tried the swing bud? Like really gave it a few weeks to learn? If not then give it a go before declaring it as bull shit 😉
Iron Byron doesn't have a back foot. Seems to hit the ball with no problem.
Its that circle created by the club caused by the weight forward and closed shoulders
