      Yeah, thanks for doing that lesson Grant. I've been struggling with my woods/driver as of late. Iron striking, wedge game and putting are pretty solid. I think if I could keep my woods and tee shots in play more, I'd be having a much better time on the course; and kicking my buddies' asses lol

      Would love more videos of you helping amateurs like that one video at the range with the random. Your swing is so good it’s hard to relate to sometimes. I’m in Palm beach, a 14 handicap, probably super relatable advice from teaching me to majority of viewers. Just saying. Thirsty turtle or square grouper on the house after ⛳️🏌🏽‍♂️

    Eric's the real deal, no doubt about it, I've been following Eric since I caught the golf bug, no one on social has done more interaction with other instructors than Eric, unbelievable, the man's been all over the country doing his thing. His regular appearance with JT is second to none, one of the best coaches in golf, Eric gets his message out ,if you've noticed, any part of the instructions Eric will state out loud 3 or 4 times, and for good reason,give your brain a task, and it will do it, commit, it's a key word in Golf instruction. Thank you, guys, Grant, you have one of the nicest golf swings to emulate, if only!! haha, maybe in a great dream.I can't see any trained eye with a negative breakdown on your swing, no way, silence.unless the Shadow appears, the funny, but very true. It's a good way to see if you're swaying, though. Be safe all.

    • @BloodySoup74
      @BloodySoup74 22 дні тому

      Excellent post! I'm a head case too when the sun is directly behind me. It's not my head moving that I see it's the shadow of my overall backswing and pausing to see if I'm aligned to the target with the shaft of the club. It's really weird. I'll start shanking here and there.

    • @Murf1802
      @Murf1802 22 дні тому

      @BloodySoup74 no doubt, it's crazy how we can complicate every body movement for what might think could be the perfect swing, but I can't help it, I just love the game of golf. Good luck man, be safe.

    Just what I needed. I've watched Eric for years and he is an excellent teacher. Was surprised how wide a stance you take.....looks like a driver setup almost.

    • @leonardhandzlik6008
      @leonardhandzlik6008 23 дні тому

      I agree with you, but obviously Grant makes it work. I think a narrower stance would encourage a more downward strike, and lessen the chance of topping the ball.

    • @arvidkarlberg5845
      @arvidkarlberg5845 23 дні тому

      He's so good with the weight transfer which is why it works, if you are slower with your weight transfer than with your swing, then narrower stance will help.

  • @jerrythomas9041
    @jerrythomas9041 17 днів тому +1

    @kdizzy333 23 дні тому

    Fantastic and easy tips! When I was young my 3 wood was my favorite club for so many years. Eventually, it became a nearly impossible club for me to hit. Then I heard the first tip you mentioned here… Treat it like an iron (realizing I was treating it like a driver). Instant turn around for me. Sometimes the most simple tips are the best ones!

    Grant, I am such a big fan, and I absolutely love your channel and the content you provide. Over the last year, I have gone from an 11 handicap down to a 5, all due to the positive influence you have had on me and my game. No matter the content, I am always finding something that I can take to the course and have an immediate impact on my game. I want to be as respectful as possible and don’t want to appear negative when I say that you don’t need this guy to help you teach. I would much rather see you helping an amateur on the range with you giving a lesson instead of getting one. If you feel the need to be a student, I would enjoy your dad being the teacher much more than Eric. Sorry, I just don’t relate to him.

  • @luckylike7
    @luckylike7 23 дні тому +2

    Some constructive criticism from one videographer to another. It could also be for the editor. The second cameraman needs to stay steady, idk if ur gimbal horizontal tilt isn't calibrated or what, but its distracting. Also, you should work on keeping a consistent color. Not sure if you're color grading or missing the white balance, but it doesn't look good at all. The cameramen need to share what white balance they're setting.

    One critique: the consistent 2nd camera color differential is a little distracting. I like the effect once in a while though 😊

  • @michaelmosley384

    Shadows! I can NOT concentrate and hit my shot with any consistency if my shadow is over the ball. Grant, misery loves company. Thanks for sharing that. Maybe a sports psychologist can help us? 🤣

  • @leonardhandzlik6008
    @leonardhandzlik6008 23 дні тому

    Great video, Grant. My 3 wood is my mystery club. I top about half of my shots, so I am never confident enough to actually use it on the course. If I hit 10 balls with it on the range before a round, I top 5 of them, so I tend to leave it in the bag during a round, and rely on my 17° hybrid. I will practice what I learned on this video, for sure.
    One minor criticism. Eric has a last name, you never used it in your video.
    Keep up the great instructional videos.

  • @taylor-1147

  • @taylorkendrick8570
    @taylorkendrick8570 23 дні тому

  • @terrykayea4067
    @terrykayea4067 21 день тому

    I like how he talks about about not trying to hit it harder because it’s a 3 wood. I feel like I do that when trying to hit my longer clubs.

  • @tomgerste1818
    @tomgerste1818 13 днів тому

    The shadow issue is part of a bigger, all inclusive issue. Conscious recognition of the world. Visual processing /focus is impaired by movement in the visual field. Keeping eyes and focus on the target (usually the ball,) is challenged when there is movement. My eyes follow my putter off the ball on the takeaway. I bet this is why Spieth looks ahead of the ball. This is why movement of galleries in proximity to players is distracting. So you are correct, please do a segment on fixing this.
