I had been making this move for ages, but it got coached out of me, and my ball striking hasn’t been the same since. I’m a 67 year old woman with various issues such as arthritis etc, I’m going to try and go back to this on the range tomorrow. Thank you.
I recently had an online lesson with Liam and this popped up on my feed, appreciate the upload as this had given me some golden nuggets! Good luck on your journey to + handicap!
Agree with you Jordan that the opening comments may have come across a little boastful. They were not meant to serve as anything more than an insight how "I" felt about my game. As it was my first lesson with Liam and only had an hour, I wanted to make sure he fully understood where I was at from a personal perspective. I went to him in the knowledge that I am not the best player I can be and need help in achieving a much higher floor as when its going well its great but when the game is not there, its pretty awful. Thanks for watching (even if only for a minute!) and hope you will come back soon.
Cheers Simon. I know some of my initial comments to Liam may have been taken in the wrong way, but as you have rightly deduced, all I was doing was telling a coach a want to buy into how I really felt about my game.
Literally got told the same thing by 2 people recently, that im leaning back and trying to get under the ball. Today at Sherwood Forest GC i did the opposite. Followed similar and got down on it nore with my left leg and hitting straighter and longer! Broke 100 for the first time in ages.
Wow well done Steve. If you do feel like you are leaning back then maybe worth going to see a local pro and get him to video you. As long as you are willing to practise what he tells you then money well spent.
When can I book an in person lesson with you Liam. Love your stuff and also am a member of your website. I know your personal input would be game changing. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year Liam
Yes I kind of cringed a little bit watching it back but in my defence I have been reading quite a bit around positive affirmation (numerous Bob Rotella and "Be a Player" by Pia Neilson) and being modest is not conducive to a positive outlook. I know not very "English" of me but I am trying to be the best player i possibly can be.
I am sure a few at the club will disagree with me Charles. Being a great ball striker is all for nothing if you keep shooting 80+! All i am trying to achieve is being the best possible player I can be. Where that leaves me, who knows. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
What a great question. That I am trying to 'feel out' currently via the towel drill, the hitting the mat drill and hitting balls. I don't think its about how far you lean but moreover the general move into the ball and covering it correctly. A few times last night at the range, I did it incorrectly, moved left rather than in and shanked it miles right! Think they call that work in progress!!
@@barrygolf Interesting, in the video it was quite clear that you were hitting the ball very straight once you implemented the tips from Liam. Where did you generally miss before going to Liam ?
@@kfraser01another great question. My main miss was a spinny block right cut where I would either get the club stick behind me or I got a bit quick in transition and could not square the face up. What Liam has given me is the time and space to have the club in front of me and staying over the ball longer. This will help with not only face control but also getting more shaft lean for better connection
Hi Matt, really good question. So the feeling Liam was trying to give me was not lateral but more towards, as you said around 10 o’clock. That’s the reason for the step off to give you space to move back into.
Apparently it’s the same but you need your sternum to “get more off it” Liam states that on tour he would hit 1 deg down. I’m not sure what clubhead speed you would need to get away with this
Not got that far John. Just been smashing away with the towel drill in the garden. But I saw in a vid he did with james Wiltshire, as Peter has said in the comments, he used to hit down on it with driver. But he also went onto say that was pretty common on tour.
@@johnbrennan2636 no bother big chap. In another lesson he talks about getting the movements right with irons as you need to do it 10x more with driver. I’m not confident about doing it with driver
Not hard to tell who Liam did some time with Down Under. Seems a nice competent teacher even though I don't agree with everything. Idea, why not bundle up a towel with some tape and hang it off the ceiling / roof with some twine. No need to fetch and repack each time.
Overpowered is one thing but unfortunately doesn't equate to good scoring which at the end of the day is the goal we are strive for. And Alvor, if you were at the bar, I would by you a drink, and it wouldn't be sour grapes!
Hi Peter, I know you may find this comment hard to believe but its true. Do take a look at a few of my previous playing videos where I have been getting well over 300 yds on many drives. I will have a video coming out next week playing in cold damp conditions here in the UK with plenty of drives in and around this distance. Thanks for feedback and appreciate your time in viewing the video.
Barry This guy being me does not know it all. I wish I did but alas I don’t. “And gobby with it” I can understand this comment as I made a couple of statements to Liam that may have come across that way. But I can assure you I try and be humble as I can when playing as golf is too damn hard not to be. I do appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and commenting. Thanks
When you pay £110 for a hour of any pros time, you approach every lesson with an open mind and try to do as much listening as possible. My comments may have been construed in a certain way but by the very presence of getting a golf lesson hopefully shows my thirst for knowledge and intent on trying to improve.
Nothing worse than a player who goes to improve his game and constantly jumps in and doesn't Fkin listen to the expert. 2 ears, 2 eyes, 1 mouth, use them in that proportion to be a better all round person and sportsman.
Sorry you feel like that @oldgold, my comments were only meant to serve as insight into my golfing brain for a coach to fully understand where I was coming from.

This guy is amazing , he is so spot on with sequence and geometry. Great coach with excellent communication skills .

Thanks for the feedback Kevin. He really is a great teaching pro and will be going back once I have mastered the drills he provided.
I’ve been interested in the golf swing and how it’s taught for 40 years.
His ideas make so much sense.
Very simple but very responsive.
Me and you both Pete. Like the ‘big picture’ view of the swing instead of the “P2, 14% wrist cock”BS we see so much of on YT.
Thanks, Barry! This was awesome!
Had a lesson with Liam recently. - Amazing coach!
And a really nice guy to boot!
Watched 1 minute and can’t believe how humble Barry is 😂😂😂
😂😂😂

@ don’t worry about it Barry. It was only a light hearted joke. Enjoyed watching the lesson pal.
Class video , for a class ball striker like Barry he was willing to almost empty his ideas and 100% buy into Liam.
Cheers Simon. I know some of my initial comments to Liam may have been taken in the wrong way, but as you have rightly deduced, all I was doing was telling a coach a want to buy into how I really felt about my game.
Great video just found your channel and I have a lesson with Liam in 2 weeks 👍👏
Thanks Danny. And a good call going to see him. Top guy and a great teacher.
How much is an in person lesson?
@@peterscott1498 2 hours £180
May I ask how you managed to book a lesson please?Can’t seem to find anything via google for Liam. Thank you!
Of course you can, here is a link: liamrobinson.proagenda.com/#agenda

Thanks Bob. He is a super teacher.
Really enjoyed
Cheers Sean, Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for reply pal and fair play will be watching now I’ve subscribed 👍
Thanks for the sub!

Such a good coach
He really is Karlos. I would drive 2 hours each way if he wasn't!! Will be going back for sure.
Best ball striker in the club😊
So he said !!
Yep not the most modest chap, quite aware of his capabilities and not afraid to say so.😀

Barry is bumptious about not very much, but it doesn’t make him a bad person.
Great video
Thanks Peter, Really appreciate the comment!
Finally some use for all your beach towels from Spain
😂😂😂
The move forwards you do before hitting the ball, how much is it in terms of amount?

The in movement, is that a lateral movement or is it a bit forward,so 10 o'clock position if 12 o'clock was you facing the ball?
Hi Matt, really good question.
So the feeling Liam was trying to give me was not lateral but more towards, as you said around 10 o’clock. That’s the reason for the step off to give you space to move back into.
Hi, How does the 2nd part of the swing apply to driver and fairway woods, is it the same?
Apparently it’s the same but you need your sternum to “get more off it”
Liam states that on tour he would hit 1 deg down. I’m not sure what clubhead speed you would need to get away with this

@@peterscott1498 Thanks Peter

I had this same lesson years go from Sam Snead's nephew JC. but the forward dip was not included
JC was a pretty successful tour player and I bet full of great stories.
Does anyone know then, how that step move away at first is represented in a normal swing ?. Or one needs to perform that in a normal swing move ?
I think Liam likes to get that in to give the player more space on the way back to help initiate the lean into the ball on the way down.
@@barrygolf go and watch Brandon Robinson Thompson lesson with Liam ….he asks the same question 👍 and he’s on the DpWT 👍
@@dannyfitlife405 you’re a good man. Expect a Xmas card from me !!
I did. Was a great lesson. And BRT is a great player.
Class mate
Thanks Stephen
My mate dad is 78 4 handicapper hits his age most weeks up the old boys cracking on u got years to go mate .
Impressive! I hope I can be still knocking it round in that fashion when i'm 78.
@barrygolf no reason mate u got the game and passion and more so the understanding of the game interesting vlog.

I would not want to be at the bar when Mr Modesty walks in after he has "overpowered" the course for the umpteenth time.
Overpowered is one thing but unfortunately doesn't equate to good scoring which at the end of the day is the goal we are strive for. And Alvor, if you were at the bar, I would by you a drink, and it wouldn't be sour grapes!
Carry it 290 , longer than Westwood,fleetwood etc 😂😂

I think you should have approached the lesson with a different attitude and not go on about how good you think you are. Embarrassing to be honest.

Too much talking in the intro. Really? Boring.
Kind of why it’s called an intro as I needed to explain who, how and why. You could always use the ffwd function?
Im sure you are a lovely chap, but you dont come across like it in the first few minutes. Im out. Sorry.
