    I'm 47 and currently play off a 2 h'cap, and have struggled with early extension my entire life. This video has been the best and easiest piece of advice I have ever seen / heard to fix it. I took it straight into my local comp today (no range session but I did hit 10 balls in the nets first). The feeling of dropping my chest down towards the ball through impact felt odd but my hands and arms quickly figured out where they needed to go to hit the ball cleanly. I noticed real and easy compression for the first time ever! My irons were at least a half a club longer, and my driver was a good 10 metres further. Swing speed increase was instantly noticeable. I have my Club Championships coming up in a month, this gives me real excitement!

    Thanks.Been looking this idea for years.And tested this morning by short pitches.Didn't need to exert force.Force was about double by chest lowered and my usual flips vanished automatically.

    This is a very good proof to have self confidence.

    Really good video. I got a few of these moves happening but wasn't squaring the club face correctly. Shots were shooting out to the right which I've never done before. I'll be working on this some more next time I hit the range. Thanks again for the video.

    • @robertbaldwin177
      @robertbaldwin177 Рік тому +1

      You need to rotate the hips still. Sounds like you keep chest down but slide hips right then left. Assuming you're right handed move left knee forwards on the backswing dropping left shoulder towards the ball. On downswing feel the chest compression down towards the ball, pushing right knee forward and left leg straight. Your hips will rotate and you'll stop any pushes to the right or slices.

  • @tomcurley9711

  • @GRFlashback
    @GRFlashback 2 роки тому +1

    What you're saying makes sense, and I'm sure you're correct. My problem is, we're adding 3 more swing keys that I'll need to apply during the half second that the club is descending (cover the ball with your chest, shallow the club, and roll the hands to square the club face). I think I'm up to about 73 now (shift the weight, rotate the hips, come from the inside, keep the head down and behind the ball, keep the weight from front to back evenly distributed, extend through the ball, watch your tempo, relax the arms, start your swing at the feet and then hips, don't early extend, don't unhinge the wrists too early, keep the right elbow close to the chest, keep the left arm straight, etc.). Maybe golf isn't my sport. I need to find a fishing UA-cam channel.

      Thinking about keys is for practice, drill one key at a time. When you go to the course, play golf. Heavy emphasis on “play”. Pick a target, hit a shot, smile. Do it again. Your sponsor will enjoy it a lot more, if, like me, your sponsor is you.

      @@josepharnold1345 Sure, but if I start topping the ball in the middle of a round (which happens from time to time), do I just keep playing golf (and scoring a 167), or do I go through my swing keys to try to diagnose the problem?

  • @snoozindoozin3218
    @snoozindoozin3218 2 роки тому

    It’s a good video. But I’d say the purpose is to remove thin and fat shots. Steepens the body, but paired with shallow arms, no issues. If you thin it, this keeps you down so you hold your angles and don’t thin it from standing up too early. If you chunk it, this is a steepening move which would be ideal to get the club to not bottom out as early.

  • @seanm3226
    @seanm3226 2 роки тому +1

    De-lofting the clubface simply (and beneficially) makes for lower, and longer, ball flight. Club head speed is what increases compression on the golf ball. The putter is the most de-lofted club, but compresses the ball the least...because of it’s very slow club head speed.

  • @denisprieur7944
    @denisprieur7944 2 роки тому +2

    Isn't this like squating? I focus on my belly button getting lower on the downswing than it was at address, and the result is the same, it keeps my behind back, eliminating early extention, and i cover the ball as well! To me, focusing on my belly button was easier to visualise and understand!

    covering the ball is NOT being low to the ball. imagine a paint brush hanging from the middle of your chest, try and paint over the ball, “cover it with paint“, before you make contact. yes, you need to stay low to do this, but staying low is NOT the only point.

    • @paulpanamarenko
      @paulpanamarenko 2 роки тому +1

      Not in your toes. I like the feel of being slightly in the heel at the top of the backswing, and pushing toward the target side from there. At impact my weight feels like it gets just to the ball of the foot. The turn from there to the follow through will bring you around, and naturally let your heel come off the ground. This is all right or trail foot. Any feeling of being over your toes will be a feeling of imbalance, and you will start to try and save the swing. All kinds of bad things can happen at that point.
