I love your videos. And the advice to do extremely different things in your swing to adjust things to fine tune.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much David

Always love your input on the golf swing. Your like the R & A an cover a lot of bases...Thanks...

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks for the kind comment.
All the best, Adam

[@mikemclellan8875]

Great video Adam. I love the concept of over-accentuating the opposite of the issue, then working back to the “middle”.
I appreciate all your hard work!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much Mike.

[@zackschefer8754]

Adam great stuff as always. Wondering where the old swing analyses are, I remember the Jason Day, Rickie Fowler, Patrick Reed, and Dufner analyses just to name a few. Great to get your expertise and opinion on what the pros are doing and to see how we could adopt some of their good tendencies. Thanks

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Zack.
The analysis I did of those swings are still posted on UA-cam.
All the best, Adam

[@ntexpert]

This is my problem, as a LH player, I pull to the right consistently (ie, first base). Excellent tips and best golf instruction on UA-cam IMHO... and I did purchase the Full Swing Masters Series last month to work on my overall game!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much, and I hope you enjoy the course.
All the best, Adam

[@BillyDee159]

Excellent. Went to the driving range this morning and hit about 20 balls with this drill. Then hit balls without really thinking about it. Couldn’t believe how quickly it changed my swing. Thank you, thank you, thank you

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Billy Roy, glad you found it helpful.

[@MartinKillips]

I've looked at dozens of online coaches and you, Adam, are without peer! Undoubtedly, you're the best online coach out there. You explain things clearly, logically and succinctly. You cut out all the bullshit and sensationalism so many of the others feel drawn to to maintain an audience. Keep 'em coming - and many thanks.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks for the kind comment Martin.

[@dmacd7514]

Dead on perfect explanation to exactly what I am doing. I'm hitting far shots - nice flight, but the minor pull has been killing my game. You addressed it in an absolutely perfect manner.
Thank you !!!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much David.
All the best, Adam

[@tedstan9734]

Another great video Adam. I play off 5 hcap but last season i developed a terrible pull in my 100 yard shots, couldnt understand where it came from. Pretty sure my grip got too strong. The shots werent drawing they were straight pulls left. This video has given me a few options to work on.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Stan, hope you get the 100 yard shots sorted out.
All the best, Adam

[@bendavies5409]

Excellent as ever

Will definitely try this on the range and course! Thank you!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks, hope you make good progress.
Best, Adam

[@ReflexTennis]

@@Scratchgolfacademy Does ball placement near the front of the stance or back of the stance matter? Also, should I always address my hands in front of the club to prevent pulling? Also, I've engaged my hips more - does it allow for me to over swing?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

I'd say ball about in the middle. Hands ahead of clubhead at impact for sure, it won't guarantee no pulls, but it will help
Best, Adam

[@roberthomans7681]

This guy is great

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Very kind of you Robert.

[@funkseoulbrother1366]

Magical stuff as always. I've been playing golf for less than a year now with no face-to-face lessons. I religiously watch your videos and thanks to you I've finally broken 100 and reached low 90s. I do have one question though if you don't mind. My left(lead) foot tends to jump off the ground when stretching out the left leg upon impact, especially with the driver. I'd love to get your feedback on whether this is a good or bad habit (I've been told it's bad)

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Aram,
Thanks, and very glad you've made such good progress. Regards the left foot, there are a number of top players that do this to one degree or another with their driver. I'd film yourself from face on view, as long as your weight (left hip) is getting over to the left side, and assuming you can time everything up, it's likely OK.
All the best, Adam

[@ericstinnett9182]

Great video, I have a question, are you trying to hold on to the lag or release the lag to that 45° angle after ball contact? Thanks ⛳🏃🏌️🏌️‍♂️

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Eric,
What we want is good lag approaching impact, and then a robust release. However, what each person needs to feel in order to achieve that is an open matter.
All the best, Adam

[@rustyoesch5495]

Two Thumbs Up!!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much Rusty.
All the best, Adam

[@Yoohoo2949]

Thanks for this drill. Though a little exaggeration it gives us a feel for impact and beyond. Would this be an ok drill as a shot rehearsal?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Yes, if it suits you it's a good rehearsal.
All the best, Adam

[@jmm1817]

great lesson Adam. Does this apply for woods and drivers as well?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks, and yes you could make the same application
Best, Adam

[@jmm1817]

Great thx Adam

[@Xtrekker1]

I have not played regularly in over 6 years. Just getting back to it over the past few weeks. I have an accentuated sharp pull either off the tee box and on my irons I hit almost 10-20 yards left off target. This video and drill should help. Will give feedback later.
I also top my wedges but that is a problem to be addressed with another lesson.
Scratch Golf Academy videos and drills make a lot of sense to me.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Ngu, hope you make good progress.
All the best, Adam

[@paulkenney2663]

I wish I could play a round on beautiful turf like that but I'm in NC. :(

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Paul. I feel fortunate to be at Mediterra, in Naples, Florida.
All the best, Adam

[@petermartin4633]

Would love to know if move over with chest to start downswing creates both pulls and fat shots. Also would like tips on how to consistently start downswing to avoid this occurring one to two times a round.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Peter,
It could be a contributor to chunking shots. It's rare that it 'suddenly shows up' here and there when playing, what generally happens is that the golfer has a pattern, and at times they can't time up their compensation...then the bad shot shows up.
Hope this helps.
Best, Adam

[@petermartin4633]

Since I have normally an on plane swing, per video in lesson with high school classmate PGA instructor Gale Peterson, club just above trailing forearm on downswing, occasional fat shot must be something else. Something I have dealt with 20 years.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

I have a UA-cam video on 'how to stop hitting behind the ball' might be helpful.
Best, Adam

[@thomaspalmer7483]

Can you preset the handle slightly forward and up to help eliminate the pull?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thomas,
You can pre-set it, but honestly, not sure it's a difference maker.
All the best, Adam

[@stanleycollymore1110]

My problem is the opposite - a push straight right, with no curve on the ball. So do I do the reverse, ie lower hands?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Stanley,
Yes, the low hands working more around you through impact would be better for you.
Hope this helps.
Best, Adam

[@stanleycollymore1110]

Scratch Golf Academy thanks, Adam.. Love your videos!

[@peteralund]

So we are just silently accepting that he went from two time Pga-teacher of the year to three-time ? This dude must be doing sumtin right,no?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much Peter.
All the best, Adam.

[@paulpanamarenko]

@5:20 looks like a Moe Norman swing.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Paul,
I was lucky enough to spend time with Mo on a few occasions. Great fun, and I agree with you.
All the best, Adam

[@bluetwinbill794]

I suck. In approx 55 years I’ve improved about 2 shots.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Sorry to hear it, keep plugging.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

I hope you can get it sorted out Arvind.

need putting advice when in tournaments..

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

I agree Steve, pretty challenging.

[@tigerbricks]

My shots , i shank the ball club face closed and feels like club grip has twisted

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Hope you can get it sorted out. I have a video on shanking at this channel you might find helpful.
Best, Adam

[@maurimyllymaki5087]

Practising like this you get automatically good shaft lean I think

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Mauri,
Yes, I agree, it would be good for shaft lean.
All the best, Adam

[@kenfoster819]

Looks a bit like Moe Norman's swing.

[@stephenramazzini6028]

At bit, no. A lot, yes!

Ken,
I agree, it would have that look.

GOLF IS A GAME OF MISTAKES.. HOW GOOD ARE YOUR MISTAKES.. MY HUSBAND PUT MORE EFFORT IN PRACTICING HIS GAME, AND HE ALWAYS QUOTE 'PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT' AND I ALSO QUOTE, 'IF PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT AND NO ONE IS PERFECT WHY PRACTICE'?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Fair enough Marie. It's a low margin of error game, so as humans all we can do is work at it, and persevere.
All the best, Adam

[@weathershield1966]

I don’t think that is a good drill for a scratch golfer. Beginners ok

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Ron,
Despite the name of my channel, these videos are aimed at 'most golfers' Naturally, people have to apply advice (any advice) as they see fit.
Thanks for watching the video all the same.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Sorry you didn't like the video. The reality is that people do struggle a lot with this game, that's why they seek help.
Best, Adam
