These last few lessons are gold. Your progress is amazing. The approach seems to be a little more organic. Improving your rhythm with FSSF and awareness around "opening your shoulders" to quickly have you on a really good track. Congrats.
Been piggy backing on your sessions and Its an eye opener. Thank you Chris for allowing J to post your instructions!!! If I can only afford your lessons. I would not mind driving from LA to SD! Looking good Jerome! Progress is amazing. You found a great coach,!!!!
New sub and loving this series - Chris is outstanding! I'm learning a lot, especially how to practice. Wish I had a teacher like him. For me, the mental aspect of golf is the most challenging. I tend to overthink everything when I'm on the range but eventually I can fine tune it and hit some great range shots. Then, when I'm on the course, the reverse happens. I start out forgetting everything I practiced, hit terrible shots and begin to over analyze why I'm hitting terrible shots. I then try to fix it with everything I've ever tried or watched on YT which leads to a different swing on every hole. All it gets me is high scores and much frustration!
Dude, can't thank you enough for this series. Been practicing all this for a few range sessions and It's the most consistent I've ever been. Added 10-15 yards per iron on the range and my swing looks substantially smoother.
this was amazing. Learned so much to make practice meaningful. Focus on one drill, one swing, don't always be changing everything throughout the day.
I am getting a lot from your journey. I'll watch this lesson several times. Hopefully, it'll help me get rid of all the questions/demons and trust myself more to make smoother swings -- particularly during the transition to the the downswing. Thank you!
Needed this video. I have been taking lessons for awhile now, trying to get better at golf. Last week I just focused on slowing down my swing and hitting with rhythm.
I had the best range session ever and payed the best round of my life, hit the ball further and straighter and felt like I was swing half as hard.
This is great to see this video after all that to confirm what I felt actually had some truth to it.
He's got some of the best coaches in California and he's still has fallen down the UA-cam coaching worm hole 😂
I’m a 5 handicapper and that period between 8m - 10m was gold for me. Thanks!
chris is the freaking man. so gosh darn patient man, what a good teacher
Yeah amazing coach. Especially with a student like me that ends up complicating a lot of simple things. Great to have a coach like this
You shld pay him more for all of your questions LOL
Dude, I LOVE the videos and have watched them all, but your titles aren’t doing you justice. There is no quick or instant fixes, which is why you’re grinding day in and day out. Honor the process and highlight YOUR journey, not some clickbait instant fix title.
Leave the negativity and enjoy the young man’s video. This is entertainment DUDE. What does Dr. in your handle mean? R you dyslexic and mean to have Rd.Sheldor? Aka Rubber D!@k😂❤
The titles are horrible lmao. THE ONE DRILL TO CHANGE YOUR GAME over and over clickbait brings down the actual valuable info in these videos
honestly he’s just keeping similar titles because it’s the same series, i don’t really think he’s intending to clickbait just being consistent. anyways great videos you’re gonna be a demon in 2 years
You say that, BUT, this video may not have 30% of the views if he didn’t. As long as the content is good! Im good! I think most would be pleasantly surprised.
Those titles bring him more clicks bruh. It’s advertising
Love it! Just what I am going through now.
Lost a few balls on my course last week due to 18-inch high thick rough springing up in the past few weeks. Turned up on Monday telling myself to swing slower (tempo) but with accuracy and to hell with distance.
The upshot was a great round with greater accuracy and distance!
Can’t wait to see you on the course with that swing! Maybe I won’t need to watch through my fingers this time 🫣👍😂. Keep it up Jerome! Great progress!
Swings looking so much better! Your golf journey is definitely trending upwards and your scores trending lower! Keep grinding!!
These lessons are really helping me. Thanks for posting.
WOW ! This guy has 2B one of the best Coaches I seen on any channel! He’s just knows how 2 explain things simply !
Really important lesson exactly what I needed as a out-to-in player, can't wait to try it at the range.
Great Content! Thanks for sharing. going to use that swing path ball drill. good stuff
OMG, I am Loving Chris Smeal"s approach Thank you Chris Smeal on my way to the range!! Thanks, Jerome I hope you had a killer round.
Love the coaching session with Chris!
Best golf UA-cam video I’ve seen! Keep it simple focus on fundamentals. Legend mate love your channel!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Just started watching your channel. Really enjoy this coaches approach to teaching! Keep up the videos! Helps my game a bunch with this coach 🙌🏽
What a great coach! Stick with him.
38:20 is awesome. Best swing you’ve had on video. Stay with this teacher and do as he says. Swinging like that consistently, you will get to scratch.
Hey Jerome, I really appreciate all the videos and you going thru the pain of finding your perfect swing. What I have learned over the years is make your swing “your own” if you were to put all the swing coaches in one room, you would never achieve your goal as a scratch golfer. Learn the basic principles and fundamentals.
Your swing will never be like “morikawa” or Rory, or even my swing, our bodies aren’t built the same, I’ve watched Freddy for years and wish I could swing a club like that, but my body won’t let this ever happen, you can watch Moe Norman over and over and never come close to his style, but one thing you will learn is like Moe, make it your own swing, with little adjustments and perfect your short game.
Thank you for all your hard work 👍 ⛳️
What a great golf coach. He's patient and focused on his student. I wish I had a teacher like him here in Michigan.
Great stuff. Getting my own free lessons.
I'm glad it's helping you out! :)
Imo best coach you've had so far!
Thank you! This simple drill helped.
Best quality content on UA-cam right here man!! I’ve been following along with you. I have golfed for 15 years off and on. Struggled with over the top and many other common bad habit’s beginners pick up. This has helped my game a ton!
Also, hold that follow through brother !
Man, I wish I could afford a great coach like him. I can see why he’s always requested. Enjoy and keep up the good work.
This was an excellent video. Keep working keep sharing. Good luck!!!
I truly look forward to ypur videos everyday, keep it up bro!
Such a good teacher.. really is.
Amazing videos and information.
Confirms what many of us suspected, having the funding to employ a top coach to simplify and walk you through step by step, having loads of time to practice, young fit body and yes you can get very good very quickly
Welcome to rhythm and path. Those lead directly to synchronization which will make you amazingly consistent. This coach is crushing it - go get him some Jimmy Johns!!
Great content enjoying watching you learn and sharpening my own game in the process. Could you put the episode number in the video description?
Thank you from Rome
You are doing a great job
I am learning from your videos
Thank you again
Marco
Looking fwd to your next round of golf
Fantastic content. I will be watching with interest your journey 👍
Great series, watched the whole vid and it didn’t disappoint 🔥
🫡🙌
Great channel Jerome! Happy to have found this, if you’re ever in Portugal and want to play and film some rounds, let me know. Happy to link up 👌
I have watched a few of your videos and enjoy watching your journey. One piece of advice I would give you is to not obsess over hip rotation, it will come with proper mechanics. You are already hitting the ball a good distance, so focus on cleaning up the basics and getting more comfortable on the course. Once you have that down you can do speed training or whatever if you want to bomb it out there. GL
Extremely good instruction! I was at a 9 index for 15 years and now playing at a 12 as I’ve aged and lost some power/time to practice.
Reminds me of myself when I was really into the game and trying to lower my score- definitely didn’t have the coaching or attitude to be a scratch golfer!
I love your journey. I have learned a lot… thanks
Very good coach because it's easy to explain to how to hit and future.
Loving the content
Glad you are loving it!!
Please explain the set up with the balls and how you are using them to achieve the inside out path.
Great videos. Watching your progress is great UA-cam.
Hes a pretty good teacher. Wish I was closer because I would love to get a few lessons from him
Quality coach.
Great teacher
You got a great coach there
15:50!!!! I needed to hear this so bad.
I know your being taught by the best and it's how adaptive you are as a person, along with putting in the practice but wow, it's inspiring how quick you're picking it up!!
Maybe I should get some lessons 😂🙈
a lot of late nights and just completely feeling lost off the camera. I found my first grey hairs the other day haha.
@@JeromeRufin oh nooo 🙈 you will have to place a warning/disclaimer on your videos going forward for the consequences of golf now 😂 although, I'm well ahead of you on the grey hairs 😬
Take care of yourself buddy and I look forward to your videos 👍 surely it's time to go out on the course with that perfect swing now 💪⛳🏌️♂️
OMG I feel your pain. Sometimes I wish I could use a hypnosis trigger before every shot to clear the hated "swing thoughts". The swings you are taking in this video are amazing for someone with your short golf history! Keep it up👍
Loving the videos and the info from the pro. Relax ur arms, tension free you dont see this in many utube vodeos just quick fix. Sounds easy but def not when those golf gremlins get in the head at top of swing. Someone once gave me a analogy of trying to run with stiff legs. My hc is 5.3 and this is my biggest problem. Fundermentals that i never learnt so important going forward ingrain them now.. I am so inconsistent cause of this. 15 hc one day, single figures next day. Swing looking great
You are making good progress. I wish I could start fresh.
Really wish I could take a lesson from this guy. Would love more info on the transition from the top and what he means by being patient and preventing the shoulders from opening too soon--what should be happening on the top of the downswing?
Really good coach
Man it’s frustrating watching but also relatable. You are the prime example of someone with high expectations but such low confidence.
You are doing amazing and keep it up. Stop being so fcuking hard on yourself!
Your summary of golf was right on. Don’t over think the swing. Believe in your latest coach. He keeps the swing simple and true.
Yo bro love ur channel. Thank you for the content.
LETS GOOO :)
When watching this I can relate so much to just relaxing and not overthinking. I was a figure skater for 17 years and was in the top 40 in Canada. The biggest thing in skating was feeling. When you practiced each jump alone till you know the feeling of a good one and can repeat it over and over again you can link it up on a program. I use the same mindset in golf now and has worked very well. At each club, I understand the feeling and the easiest way to hit the ball without trying so hard as the technique means everything. When I would do A lift with my partner she would jump and I would lift but the timing and feel meant everything if that was wrong I would be lifting a 120-pound bag of potatoes over my head and it wasn't easy. The more you relax and feel the technique the less you have to try and the more you can focus on everything else that makes you a better golfer. I have been at the range for a year now and played my first 9 holes a week ago and scored +12 with only losing 3 balls. I learnt a lot and will be getting better but 7,8,9 irons I have the feeling down now it's time for the rest of them.
LOL…did you do ballet too?
@@broccoliaugratin Yes, hip-hop, Ballet, jazz, lift class, krav maga, spin, weight lifting and much more fitness-related stuff. You really can't say anything till you have Russian ballet teachers and see how hard it really is.
You and I have the same issue. We are too in our heads. I learned to stop asking so many questions, cause it was confusing me more. I just would swing, coach tweaks, move on. You and I started the same time. Early april.
When he started to take golf a lot less seriously and relaxed a bit and everything started to flow it made me smile. Because I could see it clicked in his head how easy it could be if he didn’t think too much 🤣
The best way, I found understand why swing path changes as I modify portions of my set up or backswing is the study the mechanic of my own body part individually. What I’ll do is sit home in the chair. At night after around or after practice hold the golf club and just move over and over so I fully understand what’s happening mechanically with that body part listening to someone is nothing compared to figuring out what your body is doing and how to change it.
Wonder what adjustments are made for 3hybrid! Great job man!
Good coach
A UA-cam video and he didn’t say like and subscribe!!! So refreshing!! Not sure why UA-camrs go to that right off the rip, like I don’t even know if I’m gonna like the content!
Yessir!
Simply???? Way to complimented. Like Rory says, Just Hit It. Lol. I will do that and just go to wherever it went and hit it again after a sip of beer. Cheers.
38:21 yessirrrr, nice bro
Man, you went through the whole gambit of emotions in the last hour since this video was posted!😅👊🏼
gamut, but yeah i was getting pretty worked up, for sure. but at least he hit some nice 7 irons toward the end. hallelujah! what a payoff. so worth, would watch again
@@timmyotoole6063 tbh I was feeling the same with u! J had at least admitted to his fault in over analyzing which is a huge step forwards for him tbh. If he does exactly like Chris advises him to do, and trusts the process, he’ll do awesome. But if he doesn’t get away from the paralysis by analysis mindset, it’s going to be a long road for him…and his fans!
A great tip I heard someone told me is, “where ever the butt end of your handle is facing on your down swing is the direction the ball is going to go”.
Love your videos. Bro asking too much question try to relax and hit the ball with the basic stuff; this video start you with a wedge and your try to get a head, like you hitting a 7i. Your progress has been amazing keep it up;
Glad to see I'm not the only one overthinking things 🥴😂...great lessons 🙌🏼
Yeah that’s just the way people’s brain are wired :/ not the greatest for golf but not an easy thing to turn off. But Chris has been great he’s not only helping on the course but also helping me try to reprogram my brain to stop over thinking. So you will see this in my videos where I ask certain questions multiple times because at the end of the day I may not get it the first second or even third time. All part of the grind and I’ll even show the bad times where I’m confused.
@@JeromeRufinthanks for sharing your journey, warts and all!
@@jhrace2 You got it!
@@JeromeRufin Totally! I was on the course the other day and I realised that I'm thinking like 10 different things at once, rather than just doing what I already know. lol.
Golf is great and so is this channel, I've seen a few haters on here, but I think you're doing an amazing job and I know this is helping a lot of people, including myself!...Keep up the good work and never stop the grind 💪🏌️♂️
these tips are the same that took me from a 12 to a 4 handicap...Swinging from the inside literally gave me 30-40 more yards on my driver and made my irons crisp...
I really appreciate your dedication, and believe ultimstely you'll get there. You're fighting yourself tho - you over think every movement. A mechanical or positions method is going to take you longer.
44:24 so good!
Stadium golf center, my home range!
your swing looks really good. I've been golfing for 30 years now. And I've only ever played good golf when I've turned my head off. my tip, don't think so much😂.
insane wrist rolling at 13:15 on the back swing
That coach has the patience of a saint!! Chris “focus on one thing don’t think about anything else…” Jerome “yeah got it… but what about my hip rotation… what about this…what about that…”
Yeah he’s reprograming my brain a bit haha. Chris is the real MVP lol
Making incredible progress! Trust Chris and trust what you’ve already learned! Love the journey!
Is your target along the alignment stick ? Just wondering why it’s off to the right ?
Another great lesson. Amazing video, thanks man. A suggestion, it's disturbing to only see your upper body or just the ball from the front camera. Please film your whole body and the ball🙏
I hit smooth on the range but when I get to the course a snatch from the top thinking I need to make the distance or I need to get it further
I think Chris is teaching JR a Tiger/Justin Thomas type swing while Mike was going for a Dustin Johnson/Rory type swing
How long have you been golfing for? I'm 10 months in, all your questions were so good. Same as mine to my coach lol
About 3 months! And episode number is equal to the number of days I’ve been in the journey. I post every day :)
Very good, today I played 18 holes the front nine I was killing everything. I started getting tired and started pulling everything, I’m a lefty so it was going right. This nailed exactly what I was doing. Getting quick in the transition. Very helpful lesson with Chris. I have an idea for you, put a rubber band on your wrist and every time you have a thought other than smooth transition pop your wrist with the rubber band. 🤣🤣🤣
Your tempo is getting good
4:55 Maybe I’ve interpreted it wrong but interesting this coach says to follow through on the swing when Dana in the later episodes say not to.
First you have a great swing. Second, one of my instructors introduced me to this swing path correction and the golf swing suddenly clicked for me. I gained a lot of yardage and I don’t slice my irons anymore.
Omg dude your a natural and Chris is an amazing teacher but you just need
to do one thing- quiet your mind🤣🤣
Awsome work👊👍
From HO to PRO👍
A few things I would recommend: keep the club head facing the ball on the back swing a little longer, keep the left arm tight to the chest, bend the left knee forward when swinging back. He rolls his hands a little on the back swing. Slower back swing will keep the club facing the ball longer and smooth out his swing.
Need more view of the club head angle
massive rolling of wrists on the back swing at 7:29
How exactly did he set up the balls for 3 ball drill?
The way it clicked for me is imagine throwing a baseball or frisbee down your intended line with your trail hand; the weight shift, release, follow through all happens naturally.
Keep abs tight-ish so no reverse weight shift during back swing. Rotate around your spine instead of bend the spine if that makes any sense 😅
We need to see a video of this
The golf instructor is SUPER patient! Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!
The downswing starts with a weight transfer to the lead leg. The club isn’t moved with the arms yet, it’s moved with the weight transfer.
@13:40 3 ball drill explained somewhat.
