    so... to summarise the lifecycle of a golfer. You start your playing life as someone who misses everything to the right. Spend years working that out of your game to a point where you start hitting draws instead of fades. and then spend years trying modify your game to miss the ball right again ... lol
    Love this game

      Yeah that’s what I went through. Was real bad but I think I’m out of the woods now. Wish I had this video last year haha. Any time a mate of mine says they’d love to be able to draw the ball I tell them it’s too dangerous, forget it!

      @@TheHalo14aus Isn't it funny how, when you start playing golf, the Par 3's are your friend and it feels like they're the only holes you ever par. And then... as soon as you click past a 15'ish handicap ... they're your worst enemy and the breeding grounds of your left miss.

      This is best summary of my lifecycle as a golfer. I’m currently in the phase of now straightening out my overdraw/hook.
      It’s actually a struggle for me to hit a fade now, and that was my stock shot for so long. My swing is so much more powerful now and having that foundation of being able to play a draw is definitely a good thing I think.

    Don’t usually comment on any videos but talking about the right arm is 100% the most effective way to teach someone unless you are left arm dominant. Just using your right arm in the right way will create your swing. Best instructional video on UA-cam.

    Okay so this is probably the best video I’ve watched on UA-cam. I’ve been playing a draw/hook, struggled with misses off the toe a lot and inconsistent contact for the past 6 months. Went to the range this afternoon and worked on this drill just hitting 6 iron over and over and by the end of my hour range session was hitting a perfect high baby fade with a straight shot as a miss. All I can say is wow, keep putting content like this up please :)

  • @johnk.atchley5079
    @johnk.atchley5079 3 роки тому

    Outstanding. Talking about touching the left thigh with the BACK of the right hand seemed counterintuitive, requiring a contortionist. But watched several times, understood better, and put it into practice this week at the driving range. One thing I really like was that thinking of the hands and arms an shoulders in the way Scott explains not only forces one to make a good pivot, it makes it much easier and more natural to do so, making a full turn with weight on the left heel. Getting the hips cleared is one of the hardest things for seniors and mid to high handicappers like me to do. All those lessons about "firing" the hips leads to thinking of the hip turn as a separate, explosive move, not as one element of a smooth, coordinated swing, and that actually can mess up your swing, leave the hands behind, lead to early extension, exaggerated release of the right hand over the left, and other faults. Scott's advice does more than teach how to hit a fade. For most average golfers like me, getting the arms in close, keeping the right wrist in extension for longer, and making a good pivot leads to better contact and higher, straighter and longer shots. If it also leads to a baby fade, that's fine. But its great advice for a good swing in general. Thank you.

    Great Stuff thank you! That is me. Get a little underneath, rolling those wrist through the ball, handle raising, flatter lies, the whole nine yards! When the timing is off misses are left or a big push dead right. Love the idea of the back of the hand to the thigh in a reverse curl. Putting a spoon in the bag now..lol. I’ve been coached on trying to keep the club head outside the hands which is trying to accomplish the same thing I suppose. These moves FEEL like you are so drastically out to in but then on camera it looks nothing like it felt!
