    That quote about "your swing when you are playing well and when you're not looks about the same" is very reassuring. I had a rough round today just 10 days after one of my best ever, and I could swear my swing feels exactly the same. I'm not gonna overthink it anymore, no more videos for now, that's what I needed to hear! Thanks for the advice!

    Great video! I shot my best round ever (4 over par on 9 holes) the other day. Took a lesson the next morning and it completely ruined me. I had so many swing thoughts and was all worried about my knee "collapsing" during the driver backswing. I played the same 9 that evening at 15 over par because I lost so many balls OB - that lesson had completely shaken my confidence and, in turn, my timing and rhythm.
    Sometimes we just need to go back to basics and work within our natural athletic tendencies (if they work for us) rather than trying to craft the perfect looking swing. I needed this reminder to let go of the thoughts! Thanks Adam.

    Hi Adam. I usually find I loose my swing for periods mid to late season (about late July, August, September) as you say loads of things running through my mind and get frustrated. If I’ve been playing a lot I find a weeks break from the course kind of resets this, and a couple of trips to the driving range helps keep my hand in. Kind of takes the pressure of playing with colleagues.

    Thanks Adam. I really enjoy your videos. Always find them really helpful and simple to follow.
    Some of the comments in here completely mirror my game at the moment. I’ve gone from shooting 5 consecutive rounds under 90 (which is good for me....I’m a 22 hcp) to 5 rounds in the mid/high 90’s (and even 100 on my last round).
    I felt my swing had completely gone!! Then, I played 9 holes on my own, took my time and relaxed. Started off playing 3/4 swings and clubbing up if necessary and shot a 46. Not great, but 8 shots better than my prev front 9 on the same course. Just got to hang in there. Swing easy is key but can take some getting used to on the course.

    I've definitely lost my iron swing and not my driver for some reason. Almost every single shot is a shank and it's extremely frustrating. I recently started playing pretty decent and now this.....I have to give props to the people hacking it up every time they go out and continue to play no matter what. That's something I could not do.

      @rhull3939 2 роки тому

      Cliff, this same exact thing has happened to me twice this year. The last time was this weekend. My iron swing went away on the third hole. Started birdie, par. Pulled my 7 iron for a 165 yd par 3 and hit a 90 yd shank. After 3 more holes of shanks and chunks, I choked down on my 22° hybrid anytime I needed a shot from 100 to 175. That doesn't work that well either but it was better. It's so weird and frustrating how it just disappears.

  • @DnnyMller
    @DnnyMller 3 роки тому +2

    I had a mild stroke a couple of years ago and lost my swing entirely. Before my stroke I had about a 4 or 5 handicap, now I don't know what it is, I'm all over the board. I've been working hard getting it back and learned if I slow down and concentrate on contact (ball, then turf) I've been slowly getting better. My yardage is about 15 - 20 yards shorter per club, as I slowed my tempo for better contact, but am finally starting to get my accuracy back. I'll eventually get my yardage back, contact is my primary concern at this time and slowing my tempo has helped a lot. My short game has always been pretty good and didn't lose much of that so now I'm leaning heavily on my short game while I improve the rest of my game. It's certainly been a struggle, but hitting the driving range at least once a week and slowing my tempo has helped immensely.

    Adam...thank god I watched this. I had a massive mental block that I couldn't overcome, then I did as you said, ie neutralising my brain and letting my subconscious do the work. I achieved this by focussing on slowing everything down, which meant I did not consider ANY other aspect of my swing... just swing slowly. Ive just hit 100 balls down the driving range faultlessly, I feel elated. This has been ongoing for months now.
    I'm in a comp in 2 days, and I've gone from utter trepidation to eager anticipation and excitement at the prospect!

    Last Sunday, I played great. I was hitting everything straight and I was striking the ball well. I went to the range last Wednesday and I tried something new with my 100 yard shot, I tried this new technique which had me swing very fast on the downswing which caused me to completely lose my iron and driver swing. Every time I hit the ball it goes straight right with no distance. I try to do my old but for some reason I keep doing the swing I saw online and I am chunking the ball straight right on every shot. I feel like I lost my swing and I am very frustrated.

    @vareast 3 роки тому +2

    Good title, but a little misleading. I really forgot how to play golf for a couple of years. I was basically just going to the golf course and swinging my arms. My average score had descended from 90 to over 100. Of course, sometimes I got lucky and made a good connection. A couple of months ago, I took a video of me at the driving range. It was horrific. Really, really horrible. Absolutely everything was wrong. My body was wobbling all over the place. So I studied a couple of stack and tilt guys (Tom Saguto and Nick Taylor), opened my stance, lowered my left shoulder on the backswing, kept my head in the right position, made a fuller swing and Bryson DeChambeau-ed my arms. Huge difference. I literally had forgotten everything I'd been taught and the video showed that, so I think that should be everyone's first move. You can rebuild a swing.

    recently, i lost it completely. face way too open on impact, hitting the dirt way too early. slicing every iron like maximum 50 meters in distance, no point to even try playing tournaments at the moment.
    really frustrating.
    whats mindboggling and also giving me hope is that i WAS ABLE TO hit it very vell, it has to come back, even if it takes a year.

    About a week ago I went on vacation, I had been practicing for a week after finally deciding to switch from an EXTREMELY cupped wrist, to a flat wrist. So anyway I go on vacation and I practice everyday until I hit the course. For the first time ever I break 100 and get a 97, my swing feels awesome. 1 day passes and I only had time to chip some balls and go inside. I come back, the next day and go in my backyard and my swing feels foreign. This has never happened before, it only happens if I miss 2 weeks of practice or more. The problem is, I cannot feel the club head in the back of my swing, if it’s shut or open. My backswing feels completely awkward. I have been trying to get my backswing to feel good for 4 days and it keeps getting worse. I didn’t change my tempo, release,grip, swing path. I don’t know what to do. I probably changed my grip without realizing, but it feels and looks the same. The only time it doesn’t feel awkward is if I stare at the club in the backswing, but I have to keep an eye on the ball. So I don’t know what to do. I’m pissed that this happened.

Then i went to another golf course a much smaller one and shot 89!! I didn't find my swing.

    Sure I had some good days but mostly I had 2 really poor years went from 10 hcp to 19.
    Once I got it back I had to figure out how I regained it and it was all about my tempo.. When you swing it badly you do tense up (involuntarily) and that kept creeping back into my swing.

    I’m 4 months into Golf. Just started to break 100 consistently and my drives were my best shots typically during a round. Starting yesterday at the range, I completely had a brain meltdown while swinging my driver. All of a sudden, it felt like the grip was uncomfortable and moving around a lot in my right hand right before the down swing on the driver (I’m right handed , btw) but ever since that thought in my head, I’m literally topping ALL my shots now! Can’t seem to get under the ball anymore and I feel like I completely lost my driver swing. This was my specialty too! Got so frustrated at the range today that I didn’t even finish my bucket of balls and literally almost quit Golf.

    This happens to me regularly. I’m in a vicious cycle with golf. I start out playing good and striking it really good and shooting 74-82. I play good for about a month then out of nowhere in the middle of a round I’ll shank one. Then I’ll chunk one. My driver and irons completely get lost. I’ll come back the next day and it’s worse. I’ll come back the next day and I can’t even hit a single solid shot. So I have to quit for 2-4 weeks. Then I come back and I’m good again. Striking it really well and posting good numbers for about a month and then all of a sudden I’ll shank one and then proceed to hit nothing but shanks or chunks for 2-3 days in a row so I quit again for a few weeks. It stinks because I love playing and want to play 4-5 days per week but I refuse to play when the only shot I’m seeing myself hit is a shank or a chunk. So I’m literally playing for a month then taking a month off.
