Chuck’s swing transformation deserves a 30-for-30.
Mannnn you aint lyin 🤣 most improved player lol
I mean, it's kind of not believable it's so good.
For sure!!!!!! This is incredible
😂😂😂😂
@jamiekennedy6023 🔥
Who ever fixed this golf swing is the greatest coach in the world!
Ummm...he was standing right next to him
That's him in the video.
You are watching him right now, Stan Utley.
😂
Lol yes, I always imagine that person wearing light colored pants, a grey shirt, and a Ping hat... 😂
I like the way Charles appreciates sports he didn’t grow up playing. He champions and respects hockey and golf, and probably others as well. A true and respectful athlete.
KB was very much the same. Miss seeing his cameo at the olympics.
Stan Utley fixed what Hank Haney couldn't.
I cannot believe the flow in Charles Barkley’s swing now. Those wedges were just gorgeous.
Never would’ve thought this was possible. Very happy for him. It’s a different world now.
Legit so Proud of Charles for sticking with it and transforming his game. Inspiration to us all!
Stan Utley is the Harvey Penick of this era. Simple but wise intellect into the golf swing. Awesome!
And old as him too!
Unbelievable accomplishments for Charles, and he needed a teacher like Stan - perfect description saying he is like Harvey Penick - they are "Golf Whispers"
that was a very chilled out 21 mins
Chuck said he had both of his hips replaced. Much of his former problems were probably due to his old hip joints being stiff and probably painful. That had to have killed his flow.
But even with new hips, he is employing better technique now, and Stan has really helped him with that.
This is a very informative video, but it is also very enjoyable to see a guy that most of us think of as a friend we've never actually met, finally find success at an activity that we all enjoy so much.
You said it
nothing makes me happier than seeing Charles flush golf balls. It was hard to watch Bark a decade ago
For a former athlete his swing was atrocious, but this is a sea change.
This is the best advice I've ever heard on how to hit a golf ball. I love when Chuck realized what he needs to do. 😂
I so love Charles. What a great guest, great host, great person. It is so wonderful he has embraced golf and now drives it further than most of us. Keep on keeping on Charles!
These sounds off the club were… PURE!! Chuck is something else. What a great game golf is.
little thoughts like 'the fling' really go a long way - will definitely be trying that on my next outing
Stan Utley is the man.
Way to go Charles, you've got the respect of a multitude of golfers. Your fortitude to stick with something, and stand tall while the troubles were going on in that swing of yours, are to be admired. Your swing is fantastic now.
Never seen Chuck so happy hitting golf balls before! Way to go Chuck, glad you're enjoying the game
There is a lot of good knowledge here that I needed to hear! Thank you both.
Chuck has learned a lot. His Golf IQ has tremendously increased.
Swing the clubhead end fast not the handle end, golden advice! So in the downswing after you shift your pressure into your left foot the clubhead is the furthest behind and needs to travel the farthest. You get the clubhead to catchup with your arms and your body by releasing it early. The clubhead traveling faster than the butt as the club passes you at the bottom so the club head leads the club after impact and the club turns your body past square not your body turn towing the club behind the body. The club swinging past turns you so much easier in both directions as opposed to trying to turn your body fast to swing the club.
I've been playing for 3 years now. I consider myself pretty athletic for 53 and have a long way to go but understanding the "fling" is key. I like what Stan said about the hands vs wrist lever. Such a key moment for me to realize on my own and a game changer for a beginner when improving distance with irons.
Nice to see Charles hitting it so good and he is probably the best interview around, he’s great
Charles has a lot to be proud of with where he has ended up with a proper golf swing that fits him and his body. Well done Charles.
Quality content, quality gentlemen. Thanks for this.
That is so awesome to see Charles. You are a completely different golfer, so much better. It gives me hope for me honestly. Thing of beauty!
Man I love Charles and his passion for the game
They need the Match. Jordan vs. Barkley.
I’ve got MJ 😂
Yes, and Vs Steph and Klay!!
Jordan is gonna smoke him....
@@cgasucksuhhh Charles was better than him at golf back in the day and dude hardly just missed a shot for 20 min
@@latortugapicante719 uhhh Jordan is gonna smoke him.
This is incredible progress. I got to meet him at the 3M Open. Chuck is such an awesome dude. I am really happy he can truly enjoy the game now.
This video was great!
What a great video! Simple concepts with awesome results! Good thing Chuck said he’s not going to LIV, there were speculations out there. Glad he cleared it up
This episode was awesome to view my first video I've watched on ur golf digest channel loved it Charles and Stan there chemistry and the coaching tips he gives and to watch Charles excel at golf and correct his swing it was a joy to watch
That was amazing! Charles is a great student and Utley is obviously quite the teacher.
Good to see Sir Charles enjoying golf!!
It is amazing to see his transformation and you can see how he loves the game again. It gives me hope that I can get my swing back.
Watch the transformation of Charles swing over the years is inspiring, great job Charles
Congrats Charles....your swing is beautiful....glad you're enjoying the game now...keep it up!
I’ve always been a giant Charles Barkley fan.Just a real down to earth person.
Great job by Stan on just simply getting the clubface more square in the downswing and not changing that backswing all that much. Looks very much like Craig Stadler. Made it functional enough to play
I miss his old swing
at least we still have kenny's soccer kick
I enjoyed watching this video.
It's great to see Chuck being able to truly have fun playing golf (again). I don't think people really understand how bad it is to fix the yips or a very broken swing. The amount of time he had to put in and the level of mental fortitude needed to push through the jokes, frustration, and bad shots is commendable.
im happy to see charles doing so well
Stan is the man. I love these guys, brilliant video
What an incredible change in his swing and ball striking! Very impressed.
Chuck hitting a 3 wood off the deck first try. Dude has legitimately become a good amateur golfer by now.
no he's not "good" by a long shot. Count every stroke, nah , he's not good at all
@GenX...MCMLXV youre probably garbage
@@GenX...MCMLXV ok sourpants
Never thought I'd see the day. How on earth did Stan Utley fix Chuck's broken swing, will always be beyond me
In the 80's his poster was on my room's wall. Love the guy, and both of us in golf now. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Gotta love Charles and this makes me feel like I’m get better at my game
Charles is the best. What a good golf instructor. Glad to see the improvements
Charles!!! I am impressed with your improvement. Keep on keeping on!! 😊
It’s nice to see Charles hitting the ball so well
This was such a great video
This was very peaceful. Chuck is such a joyful guy.
As a fan of Chuck's since Auburn Basketball .. I am happy to see him happy with his Golf swing. Congrats and Enjoy Chuck!
Expert teaching and the only thing more impressive is how great of a student Chuck is. This video is awesome.
I learned a thing or two for myself. Thanks Stan
Shocked! At his swing now, shocked!
Great video.. big ups Chuck🏌🏾♂️
Quality content. New swing looking much better mister Chuck!
Can’t believe how Charles has developed his swing, if you are a golfer you know what he has done I am so happy for him you can see the confidence
3:50 Stan was waiting for Charles to react to his “miss-understood expectations” pun 😂
Charles, I'm amazed!😮
I love Stan's teaching concepts and style. He reminds me of legendary coach Manuel de la Torre, but with more of a laid back demeanor.
Great video ... way to go, Charles! Does the wrist action mentioned refer to the point of impact or the point of release slightly later or something else altogether?
Awesome transformation. His lower body moves soooo much better now. For me that’s the key.
Chuck improved soo much! 😮 great job! 👏
That last drive smoked. Good job teacher!!
This incredible teacher got me heading to the range
Makes me smile seeing Charles be able to get rid of his Yips, and be able to enjoy the game of golf again!
wow charles barkley really improved his swing, it used to look awful with a weird hitch in it. bravo man!!!
Bravo Charles and coach
That swing at 17:45 was smooth as silk, especially compared to yippity skibbity 10 years ago. Love it
Charles is obviously one of the hardest working people around. To have developed such a beautiful swing requires many hours
Stan gives a stellar lesson to Mr. Barkley. I like Stan says to fling the clubface. That might be a good tip for me when I can start hitting again.
Hit down to make it go up? That's closely related to "you have to take a divot to compress it correctly. Love all the catch phrases in this game.
Tremendous transformation Chuck & Stan. Good video.
Charles’ swing looks great!
I couldn't of clicked this video any faster. Chuck i love ya man but you give us all hope on the course 😂😂😂my grandmother with a walker said "if chuck can do it. i can do it." Ping helped my swing too don't worry you not alone chuck. Us tall people got it rough 😂😂😂
I know nothing about basketball not big here in U.K, but i know Charles is a top bloke,love his enthusiasm😂
That’s amazing.
Of all the famous people in the world, you can't help but like Charles.
Charles Barkley is a national treasure.
I can't believe what I am seeing. That swing not only works - it's nice.
Glad to see Chuck playin better. Dont watch the NBA, but I could watch his TNT shows for hours:-)
Impressive team - made success all day!
My gosh, crisp shots, it is a Christmas miracle........wow.
So happy for Chuck!
💪😎👍
What an impressive improvement
Wow he has come a long way and the couch is great teacher
“Charles doesn’t swing like that anymore” is what i have to keep reminding people
