    Try this now and let me know how it feels to you. Does it help to simplify some good moves? Do you think you try and do too much? Just be sure to still stay relatively centered and not turn and reach too much. . A line on floor or use a mirror to help.

      I was a scratch golfer 20 years and two strokes ago. I lost some of my game after the 1st stroke, started getting it back and lost it completely after my 2nd stroke due to some brain damage. I've been fighting to get my game back and I have to say watching your videos is slowly bringing it back. My neurologist says it'll take up to 3 years for my brain to heal but your videos are helping immensely to help bring it back!
      I just want to say thank you.
      I have a pretty long road ahead, but I just keep moving forward following your drills, thanks for what you're doing.

      No need for a range! The main part is no club.. get out the chair now, give it a try. Use a mirror if needed to see if moving off the center too much etc... get the feels right, then add club, then let go at the range:)

    • @TheArtofSimpleGolf
      @TheArtofSimpleGolf  3 роки тому +1

      Great! Remember though... the most important thing is to be precise with your objective and where you want the ball to go and the flight. Tell your brain and body to see and feel what you want to do with intent. Then the swing has a much better chance of responding to the result you desire. Couple that with simple and sound mechanics...
      Great!

Though I can’t run right out to a practice range like my frustrated friend can, I know that these ideas you have shared will help me. All the good ideas about the golf swing are associated with this basic practice.

    Ironically, I just 'discovered' this move for myself in my basement 'swing lab' this afternoon. Haven't taken it to the course yet, but was smashing it into the net - and it's so easy to repeat. Prior to this, I've always tried to keep the rear elbow (left for me as a lefty) close to my torso. I'm 60, and still have good mobility, and I'm hoping this results in some more distance. We shall see. Was glad to see this vid confirming I might be doing something right.

I think maybe you are not turning your hips nearly as much as you think you are. I am 70 and have no trouble with a substantial shoulder turn. Try straightening your trail leg in the backswing. Years ago that was the way the backswing was taught.

    Great lesson! Another suggestion for those who still find themselves swaying/reaching a little in each direction when trying to slap your hand (like me). Instead of slapping your hand in each direction, try uppercut punching your hand in each direction. I find that helped me stay centered and to really rotate my shoulders down more instead of lateral. @

    At 7:17 you mentioned "soft wrists". I dont have much grip strength and fairly inflexible wrists (as a senior golfer) and when I use "soft wrists" in the downswing my irons sling out of control such that I have no control of low point. Centripetal force wants to cast the club head and make the shaft be in line with the forearms and obviously with a normal address position that will put the club head into the ground way behind the ball. So how am I supposed to keep that upward cock I had at address at impact (since that seems to be the only way to have the same bottom I had at address)? Is that why you said you need a "firm grip", to maintain the angle between forearms and the shaft at impact? Would love to hear some explanations of what you have to do with your hand and wrist muscles to achieve consistent bottom and what the relationship has to be between the club shaft and your arms to have a consistent bottom.

    • @TheArtofSimpleGolf

      You do need to apply firmness... the extension past impact is key. And then allowing to rotate the body if possible. this may help. ua-cam.com/video/0YfyZU3v19c/v-deo.html

    • @georgesmith4639

      @@TheArtofSimpleGolf I find it impossible to delay extension past impact because the club extends itself at or before the bottom. In fact, just adding tighter grip pressure probably would not be enough, I'd have to lock my wrists and squeeze as tight as I am capable of to delay extension as late as you show. Maybe I need lighter clubs. I'm currently using standard weight heads for men. The problem with locking the wrists and squeezing the grip as tight as possible is that it causes wrist/hand injuries on fats and thins.

    Something weird happened to me the other day. I have been hitting straight pretty religiously, but then I hit one to the right and it just felt weird. This stigma caused me to lose confidence when swinging and now I'm starting to hit most of my shots right in my net. It's like I lost my swing. What would suddenly cause this after months of hitting straight? I feel like I'm keeping the face square and rotating but still wants to go right. It's quite frustrating. Am I not rotating all the way through that's causing this or just overthinking things and inadvertently trying to do something to compensate with the swing? I was just getting so confident prior.

    • @TheArtofSimpleGolf
      @TheArtofSimpleGolf  3 роки тому +1

      Hey... so It’s a little hard to diagnose as it were because we don’t know if it’s path or face causing most of the push.
      You might just want to do a “silly “ swing and try and hit it left.
      Also are you seeing or feeling spin to the right?
      Ball position may be too far back...
      you might be extending a bit through impact.. feel like the hands are a little lower through impact and left.
      You also might just be too closed at impact to target, so do some right arm only swings... rotating through.
