  • Welcome to Week 67! In this simple golf lesson with my golf coach Zach Berhow, we calibrate my driver swing after a few months of shambles with the club. We fix my club path with a super simple thought and then learn to square and stabilize the face to control left-right dispersion.

      closed shouldera into impact is one part of the puzzle...mike malaskas right hand slap (finish shaking hands with rhand) ie no r.hand roll is 2nd part to give consistent draw.
      Dont put ball too.forw..ball off armpit keeps path in to out

    Zach is the real deal. No lectures just practical guidance backed up by hard-won knowledge about the golf swing. Can I ask if you’ve talked about wrist conditions with Zach? I’m coming late to your wonderful videos so it might have been covered earlier. Thanks again and good luck with your journey.

    Zach is easily my favorite coach I've seen on UA-cam or anywhere else. I wish I could find someone like him here in NJ. I'm rehabbing a week old meniscus tear and Im so anxious to get back out there. Everytime you post a Zach lesson, I love to see if I can incorporate some of your lesson into my swing. I'm saving this one so when I'm ready I'll be rewatching and then trying what I learned here on the range. Thanks for posting Ernie!

Played in my local club competition on Sunday and shot 42 points. I'm off 19 and was smashing my drive and hitting my irons so much better. Zach is an amazing teacher and explains things so simply. Thanks for sharing.

    One of my fave videos of yours yet Ern… mainly because it’s so relatable at this current time! I’ve been playing pretty well (by my standards) but driver has been AWFUL! I’ve had a terrible straight pull left, so put it down to throwing my shoulder out way too soon. Anyway, went to the range today and just tried to feel like I was keeping my chest pointing back. SOOO much better… not only much straighter but so much more consistent with hitting centre of the face! Love your videos with Zach my man… keep them coming and keep smashing it with the journey… all the best, Chris 🇬🇧

    This is a video i really resonate with I had a very similar problem after a knee injury in college that to keep my speed up after recovering from surgery I would do this same thing and just hold the angle. I could low bullet it out there 250 but just could not get it in the air at all with driver playing a very low spin driver at the time really didn't help either worst part is I hit my irons great when it was going on. Finally worked out of it this past year this is a great video and I hope this helps a lot of people out of driver yips.

    Hi Ernie, very impressed by your golf videos. Trying to absorb as much as I can. In my 60s, 18 handicap, have taken lessons in the past, and remain very inconsistent. I have a question that I cannot find an answer to: During the take-a-way, do the hands remain square through to the top, or do they roll open with effort? In other words, with "square hands", when the hands reach about hip-high during take-a-way, the face is slightly closed; whereas, when the hands are allowed to roll open, the face points straight up to the sky, or slightly open at hip high.
    Thanks again. It's going to take me months to absorb you and Zach's lessons. Desperately hoping your videos will help.

    • @ErndogGolf
      @ErndogGolf  4 місяці тому

      With this, your path is right, so the ball is starting right. If your face matches your path, you’ll hit a push. If you leave the face open, it’ll go way right on you. If you want to hit a fade, bring in your path to either negative or neutral and leave the face slightly open. Figure out if your hook is either a positive path or a negative path

Has too much lower body rotation so my arms finishes outside in. Your coach force you to had less upper rotation, play more with the arms, i ll have to do this.

    Zach is a great coach! But why do I feel like I need insurance from Geico?

    Learning a whole bunch about my driver swing by watching your video's ..... Thanks for putting these video's out for everyone ! (I'm in Canada but if I ever get to Dallas I'd love to book a lesson)

    Focus on and complete your swing... you are too anxious to turn around and look at the trackman. Watch your ball flight, them look at your numbers. It's hard to consistently swing good with the underlying thought being "What are my numbers?".

    I would never be able to handle that level of hand manipulation in the down swing. "Close early, then stabilize" would be a disaster for me.
