Don’t even sweat the quality thing. I’m so glad you decided to go ahead with posting it. I’ve been making the drive up every couple of weeks from Round Rock to see Zach. It’s such a good experience and I’m learning a ton. Thank you!
I honestly didn't mind the quality, don't worry about it too much. The lesson was great, it's actually been very useful for me because holding lag is the biggest issue I'm seeing right now myself! So thanks for still uploading this.
Thank you so much man. I was really beating myself over it. While I edited the video, the sound just kept sounding worse and worse. Glad the lesson was helpful!
EARLY RELEASE was a game changer! At 71 with 40+ years of playing no one had explained it like Zack! I’ve been a 6HCP and have mastered the “power fade” out of necessity!😂 After 2 trips to range with driver I finally have a draw!! Keep up the videos and yes Zack is great!
😯OMG! Ernie, you are 100% correct! Nobody talks about it enough! Last month, I finally just started striking consistently once I'd figured out when to RELEASE!
That's what's so Nice about you videoing the sessions you can always come back and watch over if you start to lose it. Zach seems like a GREAT INSTRUCTOR..... Great Job Great Videos Guy's.
I really like this. Thanks for posting. This approach to early release is similar to Marcus Edblad (a former Swedish long-drive champion). Don't drag the handle too long. Release the clubhead sooner. Especially the driver.
It was absolutely a great lesson. Your quality was perfectly acceptable the way you did it. I work in video production, stuff fails to work. It just happens. If you have someone monitoring the audio as you record it with headphones. Without that, you can’t gauge what you are recording by simple level meters.
The quality doesn't matter as much as seeing the big smile on your face when you nailed it. I have that exact issue with turning the right hand over on follow through and getting the timing right. I hit a lot of "solid" shots that end up fades or straight and push right of target. Getting that "feeling" of release is not as easy as you made it look.🙂
The audio was good enough for me, no worries! I’m new to your channel and just want to say that I’m fully enjoying all of your videos and would like to thank you and Zack for the most invaluable lessons! Mahalo’s from Hawaii🤙🏽 Rick
Club championship this weekend. First round today and my first round since I started practicing what Zach is teaching you. I shot 84 which is a meh score but I have to say my game was completely different (I found new ways to be bad). I hit 10 GIR today. My average is about 37%. A lot of near misses for chips, only one in a hazard. To make up for it, I three putted a bunch of times, but I can live with that. Additionally, several greens that I missed today, I missed long, which is something I almost never do, meaning I'm hitting my clubs longer and straighter. I'm 5% long and 30% short typically. I think I missed one short today. I hit one shot today 165 uphill over a bunker to the back of the green with a 6I. Super stoked with the game right now. We'll see what happens tomorrow. Let's go!
Hey! I just happen to stumble across this channel this morning. I too am on this same journey and started last November. Before that played golf very causally but never bothered learning the proper swing and techniques. I played baseball through college and picked up golf after that. I only wish I documented my journey too because wow!! It's been awesome!
And this is exactly what I just started working on myself! I do exactly what your coach was showing with the pulling motion. But my question to him, are there certain matchups that would require you to release the club differently? Like if I have a big rotation would I need to release the club as early as someone who didn't rotate quite as much?
So Zach teaches a push draw type of swing. Less movement with the chest, more with the arms. I think realistically you want to release the club as late as possible, but still allows you to not have a huge amount of shaft lean. We were working on releasing as early as I could because my release was just so late we had to try the opposite
Haha, just watched the end of this. TOO FUNNY! Glad you went to someone who could use it. BTW, amazing lesson and I’m keen to experiment with similar in my swing.
Hey man, dropping a line here. Loving your content. Been watching for a few weeks now and have, I think, gained something from my new proxy coach, Zach. Today I went to the range after watching weeks 26 and 32 videos. This is stuff I've learned before but realized that I wasn't doing it. Hitting a lot of fades these days and my club speed is slow. (pissing me off). Anyway I went to the range armed with good thoughts and technique and today after block-chunking the first dozen or so balls I started puring them. Still lots of pushes but a lot of draws too, and almost no fat (or thin) shots. Spent the whole session with the 9I and was able to hit 88 and 87 a few times (averaged about 81, which is up from where I was in the 70s). I am heartened. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Love the night session, the bad audio lends itself to the bad lighting :) Cheers!
Great stuff. The sound and snap tell you the compression is good. Your follow through looks better as well. The whole handle dragging thing can be problematic. I’m working on something similar. Don’t sweat the video quality. The content is fantastic 👍
The video quality is fine mate. Love your channel and especially your lessons with Zach he's awesome. Really enjoying folliwing your progress and you've inspired me to try and improve my game
This was a great lesson, i swing exactly as described, holding off with clubface open at impact, i can't wait to get to the driving range to try out this swing adjustment, thanks so much.
Ernie, thank you for the Clinch golf glove recommendation in one of your other videos. I ordered 2 gloves to try them out and after my first golf round with one, I immediately ordered several more. They are fantastic. Great fit, feel and "grip-i-ness".
Good video man. This is actually my issue, when I start playing bad I hold off like you were. I think of throwing the club at the bottom aka releasing and it’s a game changer! Good luck!
Good stuffg. What I'm working on as well. I've always had an issue with....a consummate handle dragger. And old habit from when I was trying to 'hold lag' that Zach kept trying to beat out of me. :)
Great video it’s funny i went for a lesson and that’s we worked on, i was trying to hold the lag. i struggled 1st round but when i got used to it i stripped it. Good luck with your journey.
Great video man, im from Australia and love your work bro, i recently just figured out i wasnt releasing at all so your video had some good insight for me!
Thanks for posting the lesson. Another reminder to go back to that left toe, ground impact drill. I find myself getting late and having to pull up as well. That drill/thought gets me synched back up.
Awesome!! Can't believe I won. I paused the video to type my first comment :) Being from FL and sweating through 2-3 gloves a round, I've been wanting to try the Clinch Golf Gloves!
the quality wasnt bad, with it being at night it was still pretty clear. I am trying to get more speed in my swing and this was very helpful because I at times hold onto the club too long. Also, was there a video where your instructor helped with setting the club properly to avoid over the top swings?
Thanks man! Yeah, so the first two lessons are all about club path. The first one is titled “the best golf lesson I’ve ever taken” and the second is “the golf lesson that fixed my slice forever”
Man, I didn't even realize the sound quality was an issue! Don't sweat it, we still heard and saw the quality of the lesson, which is more important. In the recent Iona Stephen "Chasing the Red" video, she's playing with Adam Scott's dad, and they're saying exactly what Zach is teaching. Iona was talking about how she recently played with Jon Rahm at a pro-am and she said he was telling her to feel like throwing the club out from the top, something he tries to feel, too. Then Adam Scott's dad was saying let the club do the work and feel like you're letting the club go, which is essentially the release. This is something I definitely need to work on as I hold off the club, too.
Thank you!!!!! It's so funny how perspective changes everything while watching the video Im saying what the hell is wrong with his mic unfortunately judging your video but after finding all you did to help bring your fans the best experience you can were like it doesn't matter lol wow that you did all that! But I want to sincerely thank you for the lesson I learned which is not to be so quick to judge and the golf lesson was great but the life lesson was priceless Wish u peace and happiness in your journey
@ErndogGolf what are your thoughts when you are in a more rural area and you don't have access to a level of golf teacher like Zach. it almost dooms you to be on the "youtube golf insane train".
@@ErndogGolfI found this to be liberating. I’ve struggled with the concept of delofting and have been fighting any club release as an overreaction to releasing the club early. This all makes perfect sense to me. Thanks to Zach!
I’d really like to hear more from Zach around the “there is no shaft lean” comment. I would guess that 70% of UA-cam golf videos are obsessed with forward shaft lean, what is Zach’s rationale for going against the prevailing theme of golf advice.
You should see Dan Alton on release theory and the illusion of forward shaft lean. It is maddening to sift through the sometimes subtle differences in intent. Then to practice doing 'it" correctly.
For me from the start of the the downswing until the end of the follow through the club head is either lagging behind the hands or is ahead of the hands and obviously, momentarily at some point “in-line with” the hands. So the question is: where is the club head in relation to the golfer’s stance (and the ground) and where are the hands in relation to his body at this point of transition: and is this “the release”?
Don’t even sweat the quality thing. I’m so glad you decided to go ahead with posting it. I’ve been making the drive up every couple of weeks from Round Rock to see Zach. It’s such a good experience and I’m learning a ton. Thank you!
See you on the 21st Paul! Keep working on the hinge and snap to compress those irons.
That’s awesome Paul! Thanks for the reassurance, and I’m glad you’re able to take lessons with Zach!
Who is your coach?
Fantastic swing!
Lesson and the knowledge trumps the audio. 👍

Dang , Yosemite Sam knows his stuff ! "Not that-a way , you darn galoot !"
2:56 is why zach is such a crazy good coach look how much power they got from that shot! was not expecting that
EARLY RELEASE was a game changer!
At 71 with 40+ years of playing no one had explained it like Zack!
I’ve been a 6HCP and have mastered the “power fade” out of necessity!😂

😯OMG! Ernie, you are 100% correct! Nobody talks about it enough! Last month, I finally just started striking consistently once I'd figured out when to RELEASE!
The release is huge!!!!! Everyone wants forward shaft lean and forget to release the club!!!

Love your channel, Zach is gold! Your swing is really progressing, looks solid.
Lesson was great and I thank you and Zach as I'll be working on this at the range tomorrow during my lunch break. Great work.

I hit a lot of "solid" shots that end up fades or straight and push right of target. Getting that "feeling" of release is not as easy as you made it look.🙂
your lesson about making a full turn + the forward hip bump really helped me out! thank you!
Glad it helped!!
The best lesson ❤❤ this release with thumbs down is awesome for compression.
i like the lesson and how you feel and describe the changes. keep up the good stuff. Waiting for my Cinch golf stuff. cant wait to give it a try.
Let me know how you like it man!
This is what I’ve been struggling with. Thank you it’s helped a lot
Can’t even hit a 6 or 7 iron because they come out too low and go nowhere
You have a really great coach. He makes things easy to understand. Keep up the good work.
I really am blessed to have found him. We work really well together!!
Ernie, great work, I'm enjoying your journey!

dude your videos have been giving me alot of knowledge to take to the range. thanks man
Glad to hear it my man!
We all know about the quality here, so a miss hit here and there is no problemo. Thank you for sharing and that thank you goes for Zach too! 🙏
Thanks PK!
Great lesson regardless of the audio, E! Thanks for all you do and thanks to Zach for the willingness to allow you to record these lessons..
Thank you Kenny!!
Zach is the goat
He really is!
Don't worry about the quality, it was still a good video, with good useful content.
Thank you for this.
Thanks Shaun! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much. That really means a lot. Thank you for understanding!!
18 kilos - love the Benny Hill music 😂
what about strenghening grip instead of having to close the release?
Great to see this. Is the release similar to “throwing” the club down the line? Thanks
Hmmmm earlier than that. It feel like a bounce pass in basketball (check out week 39)
Why can't I find an instructor like that.......?
There’s no forward shaft lean?
@ErndogGolf what are your thoughts when you are in a more rural area and you don't have access to a level of golf teacher like Zach. it almost dooms you to be on the "youtube golf insane train".
Zach said there’s no forward shaft lean, but the photo of Hogan is post impact. Why would there be forward shaft lean after impact?
It’s all about results.
Mentally preparing for the delofters and shaft lean truthers to come on a witch hunt crucifixion.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 They just need to experience what it feels like to launch a ball 20ft higher, 15yds further, with 30% less effort
@@ErndogGolfI found this to be liberating. I’ve struggled with the concept of delofting and have been fighting any club release as an overreaction to releasing the club early. This all makes perfect sense to me. Thanks to Zach!
@@ErndogGolfI’m dead 💀😂💀
How do you guys edit android phone videos small enough to email or is the only way to share by uploading to youtube? Id like to email my swing to zack
What were your top 2-3 takeaways from this lesson?
I’d really like to hear more from Zach around the “there is no shaft lean” comment. I would guess that 70% of UA-cam golf videos are obsessed with forward shaft lean, what is Zach’s rationale for going against the prevailing theme of golf advice.
Practical application. Results. Seeing swings from the golfing masses. Trackman data.
Theory is much different than reality.
You should see Dan Alton on release theory and the illusion of forward shaft lean. It is maddening to sift through the sometimes subtle differences in intent. Then to practice doing 'it" correctly.

@@clivebrooker1undo what you did in the backswing. It’s a mirror opposite.
Where do you feel like your releasing it or where does he want you to I heard you say something about left to
Depends on how much your hands get in front. Ideally you want to retrace your hand path in your takeaway as you come into impact. Right thigh region.
Did you apply mosquito spray? Man, that's dedication!
Hahahahaha dude, I’m pretty sure a bug flew in my mouth at some point
I enjoy your videos,and most of all, your journey! Keep up the good work! All the best to you!🏌🏽♂️
