    Like your hat which rhymes with today’s chat. Loved the message, give it a go tomorrow. Shoulder and chin to keep the swing in. Well after giving it a go
    it gave me the mojo,
    time to move to the lead leg
    which results in hitting fairways in reg! Thats giving you poetic justice for a great channel.

    I’ve never understood so many videos out there instructing the left shoulder to separate early in downswing. Thanks for setting the record straight!

    Why your the best coach on UA-cam. You have many different approaches to teaching the same relative thing. That is what makes a great coach. Everyone is different and people will see or feel their body different. Amazing. Sharing this with my students.

    Steve, words cannot describe how powerful this simple tip is! You're a genius! At the range last night, I swear I had never been able to hit such long and straight irons, and consistently too! Downswing did not feel rushed but sequenced. The sound and trajectory of the ball coming off the club face...simply orgasmic. This nugget would solve 100% of amateurs' over the top problem. Yours is the only golf instruction channel the world needs. The others are just posers.

    You know I'm brand new to this person's channel. Have only watched three of his vids so far. Massively impressed with his helpful "nuggets" as he calls them. I know a lot already but his nuggets are both helpful reminders and reveal new ways of doing things. I also have never seen any channel on YT, golf or otherwise, where there are zero dislikes. This guy is an unheralded star. His channel will grow and grow and grow. He is the real deal.

  • @winhornby
    @winhornby 3 роки тому

    A beautifully simple tip. This is the part of the golf swing that I find the hardest to master. In my anxiety to give the ball a big bash I tend to throw my arms at the ball far far too early. Two things invariably happen 1. It actually goes nowhere- all power is lost.2 I come over the top and either slice badly or (whisper it the dreaded sh**ks make an appearance). On the few occasions when it comes out of the sweet spot and I briefly look that I might know what I am doing it has been that I haven’t rushed to hit it from the top. So this tip about the left shoulder has been a light bulb moment as far as I am concerned. Thanks again and I hope you get to 50000 because you certainly deserve to, Mr Johnston!

  • @johngilman1500
    @johngilman1500 3 роки тому +2

    Usually a swing thought with the word “don’t” doesn’t work too well, but this tip using the thought “maintain” worked especially well. I found a could swing much more aggressively with out being tentative. Awesome explanation. Love your stuff.

Watching your videos brings me back, can't wait to make it back there one day.

    Steve - dedicated Eureka student. Just got back from 18 concentrating on the quiet left shoulder at the start of the downswing. Hit the tee ball longer with seemingly less effort - dead straight with a baby draw. Hit two long irons best in months. I’m telling every golfer I know to go Eureka and you’ll never go back.

    An absolute gem of a tip!
    Never thought of doing this, and it improved my downswing sequencing so much.
    I’ve always been so quick and sometimes unbalanced from the top, but this just gives me so much more time to get into a solid impact position.
    Thanks for this Steve

    Hi Steve, I have been following you on UA-cam for a couple of months now and I can really relate to the way you explain things... Yesterday I watched this video and went onto the course today and it was the one swing-thought that I had needed!! I played my best round ever today (a 76) and your video made the difference! THANK YOU!! Take care and stay healthy!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. This actually seems to work! I've been a slicer all my (golfing) life but have made a huge effort this year to fix my out-to-in swing. As a result, I've massively confused myself about weight-transfer, turning my hips and tucking my elbow. This simplifies all of that - just think about left-shoulder as I start down. Hopefully simple enough to work on the course. Thank you.

    Next, that is the video I have been looking for, a downswing trigger. Nearly midnight here and I just dashed downstairs to try it out. It felt good. Need to take it to the range on Saturday. I’ll let you know if it works for me.`Also going to try it with the four-ball station drill.

    Steve that makes sense keeping dimensions closer to the path, then unraveling the spring from the bottom up to shoulder. Exact reverse of the windup of back swing. That's cool. Thank you. My spring is not been as neat as possible. I picture a spring releasing at both ends at the same time. Not good and zero catapult?
