I “fired” all my other UA-cam instructors and went with only Porzack. I had information overload and now I’m finally seeing progress. Thank you. P.S. the Set and go drill is absolute money.
Ha- this was the very thing that I was working on today. Slow back swing and pausing at the top got my swing back into a much better place. I’m so glad you’re posting all these little nuggets for free. It’s made such an incredible impact on my swing.
Great post. Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm. When I start getting quick when I practice, I take a break and see how slowly I can swing at the ball. The staying connected piece is huge, and like you say, with great rhythm, you have more room and can stay connected. Besides SJ, which golfers do you recommend watching for great rhythm. Snead comes to mind. SJ is so money. Can't believe that guy hasn't won more than he has. As a tall guy (6' 5"), I like watching a tall guy really striking it so well. #Goals
Yep, I think this is my missing element. I tend to rush leading to all sorts of problems, especially a truncated follow through. Slowing down like this allows my body to sync up, almost forcing the follow through to happen naturally. Thanks for another really helpful video.
Great lesson as always! Any chance you or Mike could do a lesson on issues with the hand path in the downswing? I don't understand how his hands go towards the ball at the beginning of the transition, my hands fall too much vertically down (trying to start my transition with my hands), I get a bit stuck but more importantly my hand path is too inside my body, e.g. 1-1.5 inches inside my set up hands' position.
I've been slowing my take away and back swing way down. Smooth and deliberate. It has helped my swing tremendously. Better contact. More club head speed through impact. Improved accuracy.
This is why I’ve never understood a lot of stuff recently that advocates a faster backswing to get a faster downswing. I can tell you for me it just creates problems. I’m about medium, but when I do this type of drill or even play this way, it stays better connected.
@porzak been hitting thin and blad-ish lately. Could be the reason why i think that i am putting so much force and power in back swing that my hands become slow at the top and my chest already rotated with me "throwing" or casting or lifting up resulting in losing that L completely
hahahha that's so random! Ryan Tyack just appears in this video lol I'm a member of the same archery club as him on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. Really cool guy. Awesome archer.
Adam I couldn’t help but notice “and it surprised me you never mentioned it to this student” but the gap between the thumb and index finger on his right hand look very loose at address in that I would expect to see no gap between them consistent with most top players and more on top of the shaft I would hazard a guess that this contributes in no small part to his waywardness allowing the shaft to drop at the start of his downswing either that or his grips are to thick and he cannot close the gap .your thoughts ?
Big Question .... I've been badly injured in my shoulder and ankle for some time and noticed that my path has gone all wrong cause of manipulating things to be able to play somewhat of a golf.... NOW when all is better I've notice i changed nothing back but the right amount of knee bent in setup for everything to naturally go the right bath .... so here's the Question..... how much knee flex is the right amount in setup and WHAT happens naturally if standing too straight or too flexed?!?! Thx for everything ... all the best from Iceland ... love your content ;)
UGH!!!! My driver is a dumpster fire. IT is killing me, I need distance and consistency so bad, I can not seem to figure it out. It should be so simple to stand up there and see what the ball does and make the needed changes, I just can't make it happen which tells me there is something terribly wrong in my settup or takeaway or BRAIN!!! Trying to dig through your stuff as much as I can to clean this up. I love this game but am in a horrible place right now. It slowly seeps into the rest of my game as well.
Well -look the swing numbers on pga pro and long driving. Hand speed is fast the first part and then slow down halfway down. Also long drivers take it massively fast back to recoil. How do you throw a ball for a long throw? You would never take it slow back and then be able to reach maximum length. You would swing it fast as possible and then recoil your body and throw it
Take a look at PGA tour pro Cameron Young. He pauses at the top and still hits it a MILE. No problem at all with a slow backswing, a pause at the top, and then fast hands in the downswing.
@@krejjsi Overall there is no swing that are the same - just as I would say swing like Jim Furyk because he is a major winner. Overall there are very few who slow down their backswing to swing faster
Yeah you are absolutely right about long drive guys.... But for the amateur golfer form and distance helps distance + accuracy. Alot of us need that reassurance that you wont loose distance by slowing things down at times
For people like me it is surprisingly hard to take the club back slowly. People who don't hava this problem tend to think it is an easy thing to do, but it is not.
Use your lead shoulder(body’s turn) to move your arms, hands and club to the top! Let the shoulder pace your hands. Keep a count as well! There are ways to simplify this!

@@meyer7262 flexibility has helped me SO much. Rope drill is great, too.

Perfect timing I guess!
The sound of his contact is so pure.

❤ Another great video on how to make the perfect swing and not rush the takeaway. Thanks and keep them coming
More to come!
Amazing timing, moved across the country and had a bunch of time away from the game. Came back and was/am super steep and quick in transition.
I see a lot more room at the bottom looking at the Before/After toward the end. Great looking move.

Good for you you plucker. !

Everyone is different. Gotta find what works for you.

But all the long drive pros says the faster the backswing the faster the swing

Slow backswing helps my game. His backswing is still too fast imo
Facts. It’s still fast lol

👌👍
A golf swing takes 3 seconds start to finish. The backswing accounts for 2 of those 3 seconds.
The average PGA tour swing only takes 1 second. 0.75s for the backswing and 0.25s for the downswing.
Great
