Hi Stu I’m the 82 year old grandma that was trying to swing in to out lifting the the handle and hitting before the ball into the ground 🙈🙈🙈 I played yesterday and used this method by practicing it upright and then bending to hit the ball, Wow it’s a different swing, first thing I noticed was I can stay down through the ball, the second thing was how it stabilised the club face through impact. Thanks again for making the golf swing through impact understandable for the first time. I know I will have to keep practicing this move before it becomes second nature, but at least I now know what I am trying to achieve. 🙏👏👏👏 Blown me away 👍
Incredible feedback Mark - great news you have seen the light so to speak and it sounds like there could be a huge land of opportunity ahead. Keep me posted Sir. Best wishes Stu 😊
Another wonderful golfing education, Stuart. I, too, was one of those people who really didn’t understand the handle pressure until I saw your two part broom videos. The drill you just demonstrated clearly shows us how pressure in the handle works with a golf club in hand. The thing that resonated with me was when you said the handle stays under the shoulders at impact. That thought alone is a game changer. Now I know why I, sometimes, heel strike or shank the ball, when trying to swing from the inside. The club handle is not under my shoulders at impact, but is up and away, which causes the club face to drop and open, thus a heel strike at best or a shank at worst. Thanks for another eye opening education on the golf swing. Cheers.
My absolute pleasure Sir and so so happy the picture keeps getting clearer and hoping your journey to scratch golf is getting smoother all the time. Best wishes Stu 😊
Wow mate! This video is GOLD!!! It’s even more clearer now. For the first time in my life, after 30 years of playing and have achieved 8 handicap, I am hitting the ball exactly where I want it. Now I know what you mean that Golf is easy. Thank You 🙏 #thatsgoodcoaching
If anyone is struggling with pressue through the handle and you are close enough to where Stuart teaches. I would highly recommend going to see him face to face. Had my 3rd lesson yesterday and worked on similar principles to what Stuart shows and now its starting to click. Top coach. I travel nearly 2 hours to his studio but it’s definitely worth it 👍🏻
Hey Stu Rod Lewis again I love your content I love the depth of your instruction and explanations and I was surprised to watch this video strike the golf ball that never before where you used the golf shaft and the tea because I've seen one of the other videos where you had done something similar so I went outside and worked on that for a while but the problem was what you explained in this video that I kept hitting underneath the ball I would hit the shaft that it was sitting on or the tea but I could not hit the ball and I was wondering why and now it's so obvious after your explanation thank you so much stew for what you're doing for us golfers
My pleasure Rod - when the world finds this video, it will be ground breaking for many and their game will be another level. Go find my latest “short” on my channel to see me demo this again. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Stu For the first time , I'm actually seeing results...I thought that pushing down on the butt end feeling was for irons only, but experimented with wood and hybrids...wow !!! some straight shots and dare I say tad of a draw, thank you so much, I'm converted Regards Dave G
Just got back from the range with implementing this drill and I’ve never hit the ball more consistently in my life. Here’s malaska’s take: ua-cam.com/video/hASz-b92jtI/v-deo.html
Thank you Stuart! So this is essentially allowing the rotated forearms (in the backswing) to rotate back into the original position and into impact? Also, I noticed this allows the wrists to come back to the original position at setup rather than a raise that happens when coming from the inside is done the wrong way of nastiness (as per your quote 😂😂).
In my mind, this is a drill that give so much power and understanding to the golf swing and impact - I hope more people watch and enjoy. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes Stu 😊
You’re awesome man! Feels like I’m waking up. I’ve always swung in to out and I’ve never really set the club much vertically and as such have never pressure the shaft on the way down. My jumbo max grips se to make it impossible to grip club in fingers. I have more of a Bryson one plans set up at address. I have learned so much this last week after discovering you.
Sooo happy the big wake up is occurring Ned, so refreshing to hear people seeing the game for what it is. So much to come and more lightbulbs will go on, promise you. Thanks for being part of the community! Best wishes Stu 😊
I guess this is the video you said to have a look at? I do let the clubhead drop down I remember Andy Traynor had me doing a drill swinging around with the handle below my knees :)
One thing that confuses me slightly Stuart is drilling the handle outwards from the top with a golf club. Because I see you show that move at varying degrees. When I take it to an extreme like the theraband drill, but with a club in my hand it become very difficult to then do the second part of pressuring down to get the face on the ball. In isolation I get it, no problem there, but when adding in the second bit after that all in one movement what positions do you like to see with doing it with a club? Aiming for hands halfway between feet and ball at 9'clock shaft? Because that's what happens I feel when doing the broom drill correctly, that's the general positions that seem to get hit. I hope it is clear what I'm asking, lol.
All the pressure on the handle makes sense up until shaft parallel but once you get to shaft parallel don’t you need to let your wrists uncock? I feel like putting pressure down through impact stops my wrists from uncocking and thefore the club from swinging so I then I lose speed?
Not at all my friend, if you watch my “Power at Impact” video you’ll gain more insight, how you can keep pressure and unload the golf club. Best wishes Stu 😊
Have had the fortune to have a few lessons with Stuart over the last few months - and the fundamentals here really work in practice - Grip - the “hold” - the pivot and using pressure through the feet to drive the hip turn - yes have used “the broom” and “Swiss ball” - and crucially the downward pressure as shown in this video to give much greater control over the club face. Of course have had the bad days when it gets worse before it gets better …but it is worth it guys - ball striking the best it’s been. WHS down to 8 - and shot -1 on the back 9 last week. Keep up the content Stu
Hi Stu..just spent the morning on my short game ,,,pushing down on the handle with the top hand is so obvious on the shorter pitches ,,really shows you how the clubhead returns on an arc to square at impact 🎉
Greetings from Alaska! I found your channel about six months ago and I'm darn glad I did. I've been practicing many of your drills, proper grip, step drills, pressure drills, theraband swings, etc. The results speak for themselves, my iron striking has improved dramatically and encourages me to keep striving. Stuart, I am doing all I can here in the great north to inform golfers about your channel. Thanks for all the hard work!
I am eternally grateful for the truly inspirational words you’ve shared; to hear your golf going from strength to strength is all I aim to deliver and long may it continue for you and the rest of the wonderful subscribers who are part of the channel. Any questions or videos you’d like to ask or wish me to do, please send them over. Keep at it Roger and look forward to speaking in the future. Best wishes Stu 😊
Yes sir, I’ve done a number of videos on this Mark - using the pad of your left hand and fingers of the right hand, definitely doesn’t need tension. Best wishes Stu 😊
Not really Garth; people all talk about early extension, then when I give them a way to get out of it, everyone cries, flatter clubs. Of course you will need than when you don’t early extend. 😊
When I first started this handle trick i was slicing out of my mind. Then I did the handle trick but very mindfully was closing in the face, and I must say, so far so good. Only one session with just wiffle balls, but I can see how this may work. It will be interesting at the range tomorrow.
@intelligentgolfperformance The range was better than normal. I think swallowing the club head in the back swing was helping more than anything. Im still struggling with the pressure on the lever. When I pushed too much, I would chunk it. Hopefully, I can get it figured out
Hi Stuart, firstly thank you for sharing your knowledge & improving my game! One question.... would applying pressure on the putter handle square the face up in tje same way?
Pressure the shaft , are you doing it with push down on the heel pad of the left hand and lifting up on the right index of the right hand ? Are you feeling this at address and maintain it all the way through the ball ? What I'm seeing is the Right shoulder on the downswing stays moving and doesn't stop . If the right shoulder slows or stops , the lower body stops and all bets are off on what your going to get without manipulation . Just looking for more clarity on how to do this pressuring the shaft. Also is there any truth to making sure the right shoulder keeps moving . I can see with most all good shot with pro's this right shoulder is moving pretty fast never stopping. When bad shots happen it can be most related to the right shoulder stopping or slowing down.
Wow- 7 golf schools and never got anywhere near this information- I’m worse case of “high Mickelson hands downswing and thru- high toe hooks… Doing what they’d say and demonstrate getting worse and worse. Thanks “ new insights….
Hey Jack - glad you enjoyed the video, please check out more of my content because I think you might enjoy a variety of enlightening topics. Best wishes Stu 😊
When you put pressure down on the handle it appears your right arm is very straight at impact. Most instructors teach a bent right or trail arm at impact. Do you?
Absolutely not, the right arm does not need to be coerced into being bent at impact. This is so so bad for your game. Please watch a lot of my videos to understand why. Best wishes Stu 😊

Not certain I understand this one yet, gonna go back to some of your previous videos to try to get myself ready to be taught.
Please do Jason - lots to learn my friend 😊

Thank you so much Steven - really kind words and super work yesterday, look forward to seeing how you develop over the coming weeks! Best wishes Stu 😊
I saw Stuart today. I may very well be the 82 year grandmother he refers to. 😉

Love this David! It takes some time to see the message, super pleased you have and you’re sticking with me. Best wishes Stu 😊
Wow............the clouds are parting and I think actually hear angelic music......thanks Stu ⛳
Bless you Gary, always enjoy your messages, thank you so much. Best wishes Stu 😊
You and coach Mike Malaska are the only ones who speak about forces in the golf swing in the way you do
I’m not familiar with Mike Malaska - if he and I help you play better golf, it makes me very happy! Best wishes Stu 😊
Just got back from the range with implementing this drill and I’ve never hit the ball more consistently in my life. Here’s malaska’s take: ua-cam.com/video/hASz-b92jtI/v-deo.html
A new and insightful video from Stuart first thing in the morning? Now that is better than a cup of coffee 😊
Amen to that Kyle, although I do love a good coffee. 😂😊

Can’t wait to try this when I get home. So glad I found this channel. Thanks

Fantastic analogy of what should be happening, just one thing when you say put pressure on the handle yet you need a light grip?
Cheers 👍
Yes sir, I’ve done a number of videos on this Mark - using the pad of your left hand and fingers of the right hand, definitely doesn’t need tension. Best wishes Stu 😊
Great explanation but WHEN & WHERE in the downswing should apply the pressure to the handle ? Thanks
It’s motion, not a position Chris. Maybe I’ll do another video on this. Best wishes Stu 😊
I hear the range calling to me to try this. This makes me think that perhaps that you advocate for a flatter lie angle on clubs, yes?
Not really Garth; people all talk about early extension, then when I give them a way to get out of it, everyone cries, flatter clubs. Of course you will need than when you don’t early extend. 😊

@@DaGolfViking make sure you push up with the left leg as you push down 😊
Hi Stuart, firstly thank you for sharing your knowledge & improving my game!
One question.... would applying pressure on the putter handle square the face up in tje same way?
Nick - absolutely and twice on Sundays! Best wishes Stu
Is this same for the Driver swing ?
100% - it’s even more important Chuck.

Hey Chuck - so hard to give you more detail without seeing where you’re at in your swing. I’ve done another video on this, I’d check that out too!
👋👍 very nice stuff, I will try it for sure ...
Fantastic Andreas, do let me know how you get on and look forward to hearing! Best wishes Stu 😊

Great info. This reminds me of a Cowen’s beach ball drill where the feeling through impact is similar to pushing the ball under water.
Thanks Jesse - not seen the beach ball drill but hoping this works too. 😊
This is a different feel for me…. Need to try this but it’s raining and WH is closed for the rest of the week for the AIG 😮
Hit the range Andy and let me know how it goes!! Enjoy the AIG if you’re going, best wishes Stu 😊
