I’ve been working on this set of moves since the first lesson you showed with Liam. It’s really made my strike more solid and it feels great. It takes time to bring it onto the course but time is one thing we have when we only have to prepare for the Saturday match or interclub.
Like the vids and process bro, some folks don’t understand how hard swing changes can be. I personally love the technical side of things you are showing. Cheers
Thanks mate. Looks like that step drill is changing my game too. I saw your first lesson with Liam, tried it at the range and my ball striking has never been purer. What is absurd is that you would think the step makes it much more difficult to hit the centre of the face. Nope, I am tempted to play with the step always…
Imagine that you have Velcro on your chest or arms. When you get to the top of the back swing your arms are stuck there by velcro. The trick then is to let centrifugal force of turning your body and torso to release your arms from your body rather than the Jack Wiltshire pull down with your arms move that you’ve always done. That is basically what Liam is trying to get you to do. Leaning into the ball allows you the space to turn your body as hard as you like and with gravity on your side you’re able to release your arms from your chest at the bottom of your shoulder turn and then as you push up with your left leg you’re throwing (with the help of centrifuge and gravity and now your own strength in your arms) the club into the ground. One thing you missed was in the back swing get your left shoulder down and over your right foot. It will help with the “step feeling” he demoed to you previously. This will help compress your back swing, get your right side back naturally rather than pulling it back & it will get you on a decent plane. He’s a very good teacher is Liam - he could become one of the best.
I find the co ordination of getting back on the ball after getting off difficult (and ive had a lesson with Liam , and what a great bloke by the way ) ..but anyway , i feel if i push from my back foot from the top it helps sinc that body lean back in to then throw the hands (just have to make sure the whole body moves , not just a hip drive). Do you feel.or activate this getting back on it feel with foot action as well ? Or not a feeling at all? ...really enjoy your content, thanks
James, does this move not cause you to get ahead of the ball and result in pushed shots. I tried this a while ago because I was flipping the club and it helped contact but caused pushed
I got a launch monitor recently and after a year of trying to swing more "in to out" and thinking I'm not doing it right, it says I am 12 degrees in to out so now I am doing something similar trying to go more down the line. Funny how golf is
You have more talent than the guy you played with yesterday. His swing is mid at best. But he knows how to golf. I'm rooting for a time where you look at golf as golf and not as swing. Big fan of yours... but eventually we just gotta golf bro.
@@JamesWiltshire You are slipping a new move the drift left so you have to change your transition timing to fit this in. Just keep doing the reps and it will become the new you.
I dont think youre being too technical. Even YOU know it is not far off. Any change just takes some proper reps and every change has its matchups... its close though.
Here is the fact my friend - you don't change your swing much in one little session. Yes, Liam gives you a lot of positive words, and gasses you up. But realistically the amount you change your swing in one session is like ONE MILLIMETER!!!! You have to grind at the swing change for many sessions to really make a change.
It's more of an insight on how difficult it is, even for top level golfers, to fully engrain a swing change. Battle of new muscle/body memory vs years long old habits. The new swing change is simple. Liam laid out the simple processes to get there. And they both know how hard it is, and how long it takes, to really break old habits.
Virtually everyone will have faults/bad habits when you’ve played golf for any meaningful amount of time without consistent guidance from a pro. Everyone will tend to have a pattern they revert back to or get stuck in, even the top pros. You basically have to get technical to understand how to correct those bad habits.
@@morgancross5481 good point and well explained. I often think that people like freddy couples and bubba watson wouldn't have had an overcoached swing but thinking about it these guys are unique and are outliers
(Ricky Nicol GOLF) Great progress James, from a coaching point of view I see how , not only are your neural pathways allowing you to now ‘let go’ in the movement , but your learning in a sensory perspective should have increased - see change - feel change - hear change ! Challenge being for so many players is , they feel they have to get back to that ball asap! Whereas down and in allows the time to do what you want ! - If good going back ! Domino effect !! I’m a coach and 56, now hitting it 300! 😁🏌♂ Keep it going

Cheers mate, everyone’s always trying to either get it to a good place or maintain it, glad you enjoy the technical stuff
Keep grinding

I love the technical swing analysis. This is primo content for us low handicappers

Try the step drill but exact opposite. Start stepping forward with lead foot right before you start your down swing.
Keep up the vlogs top stuff. Also ordered some AYBL stuff, and if quality
Swing looks ace is the throw after leaning just throwing the right wrist? 👍⛳️

Do you find you sway, with these techniques?

Have you ever worked with a stack and tilt teacher? Would simplify so much for you imo
Same as BRT

Big fan of yours... but eventually we just gotta golf bro.
James, Why do you think you were spinning at the top and pulling your arms down and not shifting left in transition while keeping the hands up ?
@@johnhue8933 old habits are hard to break

do you have a temp membership for Royal JB ?

Do you ever feel like you are just over complicating things and getting too technical?
Not really, you need to keep on top of the swing and drills and feels are the easiest way to keep things in a good place.
