    A video that discuss weight transfer and utilizing the takeaway with other parts of the swing would help me a lot. I believe I over think this part of the swing and I end up swinging very awkward. I either focus on the hands and club face and then get to handsy or i focus to much on lower body and end up feeling very weird with my hips/ knees. Great work and thanks for all the good content!

      @StackCityCards 6 місяців тому +9

      Totally agree with that, timing my weight transfer is difficult for me. I tend to transfer too late. Some sort of trick on timing it better on the backswing would help.

      Feel ya pain brother, past 3 rounds I'm hitting balls like rory on the range but as soon as I hit that 1st tee box my brain goes into fart mode and start overthinking all steps of my swing

    Found this YT video yesterday and went to range. Been struggling badly and had gotten into some old habits. It took about 25 balls before it started to click. Hit it as well as I have in months. Hoping it shows up in tournament this weekend. Thanks Grant for this simple fix and for not ‘over instructing’ with too many brain drains at once.

    As someone that used to struggle with a slice, I started using the "low, slow, and to the top" swing thought which along with a stronger grip changed my swing path to in-to out and now I play a draw and hit the ball so much farther. Great video!

  • @hugoprinsloo2253
    @hugoprinsloo2253 Місяць тому

    Jeeez Grant, so glad i watched this one. I have always complicated the takeaway for myself. Strong left hand grip has gotten me into weird positions but on the range now i realised i am perfect for the first part. Club slightly shut and pointing outside. That when my hands would flip it inside and, well, the rest is history. 😂 Striped it now on the range with my irons. Even the old dreaded 3 iron that's been gathering dust in the bag. Struggled a little with driver though but will figure that out. Thanks again. Really enjoy your content! Cheers from a sunny South Africa

    @grahamkrivanek2315 6 місяців тому

    What's up Grant! Nice video, can you do a part 2 or part 3 to this? I feel like I have a solid grip, good take away, but I struggle with the transfer at the top as well as making consistent contact at the bottom. Maybe some swing thoughts at the top of the swing/transfer would help. As well as the down swing and making contact. Flat wrist, bowed wrist, swinging in to out, how much do you turn your hands over, keeping your head still, keeping your arms straight after you make contact, rotating, transfer your weight. Lots of questions, but again this video helps a lot, thanks👊

    Can't wait to try these tips out. I'm new and building a golf swing, lol, my husband just started up golfing again after quite a few years. He has helped so much with the basics and your videos are helping both of us with consistency! Thanks!
    For me, I love the driver which apparently I am good at, and I like putting, but both Irons and wedges are my Achilles heel. I keep either hitting the ground and its jarring through my arms or missing the ball 😂 Balance seems to be rough for me. Any tips for that would be awesome! 😊

    • @louismccomack9524
      @louismccomack9524 Місяць тому +1

      When you set up keep your spine angle. Don’t stand up or lower your angle, and make sure you aren’t releasing your club early causing you to chunk it (hitting the ground). If you hit the top of the ball you need to keep your eyes on the ball throughout the swing.

  • @brendanatkinson1164

When I watch a video of myself, both of my knees sway forward in tandem in the downswing, and it doesn't look right. It also appears like I'm reaching the impact position in a squat position because I don't post up/straighten the left leg well.

    Grant because you hit irons so well can you talk about width of stance and ball position for all irons. Also with that how do you hit it clean-I tend not to divot at all or very rarely and when I do my hit is terrible. If I scuff the ground I usually hit a great shot but not in line with my target.

  • @gerardttan
    @gerardttan 6 місяців тому

    Great content as usual! You obviously, and arguably, have the most butter golf swing out there. Just wondering if you can tackle the different steps of the golf swing with respect to players with different heights (and other parameters such as age and flexibility)? I mentioned height because this might be easier to tackle. My question assumes club length is held constant. I believe this isn't addressed much in youtube and helps with your viewers who, like me, strive to have a swing like yours but may have different body types. Thanks Grant and team for the top tier content as usual. More power to yall!

    Different types of bunker shots around the green. Uphill/down hill. Ball above feet/below feet. I can hit some amazing bunker shots then i shank a bunch of them. What could be making me shank them? Alignment? Also obviously farther bunker shots strike gets harder probably because I'm more tense trying to swing 'harder'. My 2 cents if you could address everything you go through in your mind and progression on that please thanks!

    How to Fix the duck hook shot.
    I normally drive the ball great....around 275-ish carry and many times rolls out to 300-ish depending on the ground. Pretty high ball flight as well... I would say borders on too high most of the time. But when I'm doing everything right, driver is my absolute favorite club in the bag because of how consistent it is vs irons and wedges.
    But somewhere in each summer I develop a duck hook with the driver and can NOT stop hitting the ball from the absolute toe of the club. I use foot powder spray on the club face when I have trouble with something like this. So with all sorts of adjustments to ball position, tee height, weaken the grip, and putting tees in the ground to get more nuetral path instead of 'in too out'....I'm still hitting the toe and what looks like some major top spin on the ball. I'm talking it might fly 75-100 yards going hard left, and the spin shoots the ball down to the ground.
    This is driver only. All other clubs are normal...average to slightly below average. I normally score below bogey golf.

    • @Greenhat0311
      @Greenhat0311 5 місяців тому

      Have you tried a shorter shaft? That'll bring to closer to the ball which changes the lie. You'll have a lot more control. I have my cut down about an inch, and it's a game changer. My miss is a hook and it's the worst. My normal shot is a cut

    The biggest area I need to improve is reading greens. Judging power. And finding the right line. Video Grant! Video! This will help me break 80

    I wana know where all the power comes from. Your swing looks so smooth and effortless, I feel like I put so much muscle into my swing and even when I do hit it pure, it'll go 220m total (driver).
    Or is it swing path that's lacking?
