    Adam...your impact bag drill helped me immensely..I was always sliding with my hips...once I used the impact bag and left my head steady over my back leg I could really release the clubhead at impact with a flat back left hand..it helped me hold my release...what a difference in my ball striking...thank you so much best Rocco

    Really great video! It is really hard for most of us not to worry about"screwing up". But you are so on target about taking chances, relax and play around. I have been taking some lessons here in Atlanta and my teacher was working to keep left wrist leading a fraction longer through impact. I hit some really bad misses initially but when I got it right it made a Big difference in direction and distance. I am still working on it and working on my weight shift. So, this video really helps. Thanks Adam.

    Adam - Magnificent comment about not having made mistakes on the forward side of the ball. That REALLY resonated with me. My local pro, in our first lesson recently, now has me learning impact on THAT side of the ball. A little bit of learning lag, couple of set up tweaks. Your lag video, as simple as you instructed, now has me progressing with purpose. Thank you sir!

    Adam "Nuck" here. Who'd a thought I make a change yesterday and hit my irons better than I have in a long time. Then I go out and try and find someone speaking to what I adjusted to yesterday and I get your video here on "making mistakes on the front side of the ball"!!!! My biggest mistake I have always had and even when I worked with you, was getting to the front side of the ball and now that I hear you say it, it reinforces where I was going wrong and the adjustment I made. I started by stacking on my left leg if you will with my left foot pointed slightly out. I immediately started hitting more crisp strikes on the ball. Also used it on 2 holes on the back 9 and flighting those 2 balls from 85 and 105 yards lower with much better shots than normal. I just love the way you summarized "making mistakes on the front side of the ball" ... MAKES SO MUCH SENSE Thanks Adam!!!

  • @GrahamS67
    @GrahamS67 7 років тому +7

    Thanks for this advice. I can particularly relate to the tip to focus on the target not the ball. I've had so many friends say to focus on a spot on the ball and because of that my swing has been stiff and rigid. I'm sure a free swing is going to help me.

    Fantastic video! I took up golf last year at age 62 and it's been a struggle but great fun. I suffer from this problem, but never really thought much about the mental aspect involved in striking the ball. I'm going out today to both the range and to play, so I'll give these tips a try.
    My initial thought was to achieve solid contact consistently first, then worry about direction, and lastly distance. Is this the way to approach it? I'm still stuck at number one!

    @bobfuller 7 років тому +69

    I suffered from this a lot. One visual thought that really helped me was to pretend each shot was on a downward slope of the course. This got my weight more onto my left side and swinging the club down the "slope" towards the target.

    “Fear of missing the ball”....You aren’t making this up, it’s my #1 problem. This is why I could make perfect divots with no ball on the ground, literally 8 out of 10 times with ease, then the ball goes on the ground and I’m behind it. These are great drills and strategies

  • @NonnyStrikes
    @NonnyStrikes 4 роки тому +2

    6:40 best tip from this.
    I started focusing on 100 yards in last year, barely played rounds... and it benefited me more than anything.
    I putt better, I have more control on my wedges/irons... I'm never afraid of the teebox anymore because my swing is nice and smooth..
    but boy did it take some effort haha. I can't explain to anyone how much time I've devoted to this game... it saved my life.
    Thank you for your time sir. Good Luck out on the course, whenever that may be!

    this really helped me, and was a pretty simple fix as well requiring no range practice. You were absolutely correct that getting the hands in front reduces the chances of any trouble shot, and most definitely does not result in a total flub that goes nowhere.

    This is one of the best videos on golf instruction I have ever seen! Fear is definitely an issue for me! Which results in semi decent contact but very erratic distance and direction. Deep divots also tell me I'm over the top just trying to hit this tiny little ball!

    Adam, this week on the range I got myself into a very bad habit of hitting behind the ball off the mat. Not only was my contact piss poor but my wrist was sore as can be after hit a medium bucket. I was totally despondent after my range session. Shots were everywhere. I started looking on UA-cam for solutions and came across your series of videos.
    Instantly noticed what I was doing wrong, swaying too much back in the back-swing and not sliding forward in the downswing. Played a round two days later fearing I would repeat my range session fiasco but kept your swing tips in mind.
    Hit decent iron shots after a few thin shots and not sliding forward. Reminded myself of the tips. By the ninth hole I was back to hitting solid, piercing iron shots.....great videos. I've already subscribed and look forward to watching and more importantly learning and improving....great videos !!!

    Easy to understand teacher. Hit my first (that I can remember) solid golf on the range today. Was hitting 100m 7 irons from a half swing. To bring this into context I am struggling to hit a 7 iron 120m from full swing at moment. Watching Adam has me understanding what I thought as complex concepts into easy concepts. Learnt to compress the ball, move the contact from back of ball to front of ball. Just need to improve my swing path now, confidence is critical. Thanks Adam.

    I really appreciate your teaching style and how you have reduced the parameters to a basic 2. I don't frequently get a chance to get to the range so when I do, having to remember too many factors or adjustments is overwhelming. Definitely going to use this video to help with my iron strikes. Really appreciate this lesson...golf can be unbelievably frustrating when you can't get to it enough and practice...

    I like this video. The idea of emphasizing freedom in the swing by focusing on the target instead of the ball is something I've talked about but have very rarely implemented in either my practice or play.

    This is great advice. You need to be visualizing that your swinging through the ball. Great points about shifting weight toward the target before contact.

    You just don’t know how much this one video will help me! I’ve bee playing golf for 25 years and have struggled so often out of fear to not make good ball contact. It only takes a millisecond to screw up the whole shot sequence. I haven’t been willing to make mistakes on the left side of the ball and it has cost me more bad shots than I can count. I noticed that your club was still leaning at approximately 30 degrees to the right before you struck the ball. I usually panic and rush my downswing as well as break my wrists at 90 degrees simultaneously trying to hit the ball. Shifting my weight to my left side as well as having that 30 degree lag before and after I strike the ball has always alluded me. I’ve had people tell me I have a beautiful swing but, they don’t realize the fear I have at that last little millisecond before ball contact. I’ve been reluctant to practice your method and possibly have mistakes made on the left side of my swing. Funny thing is I have surprised myself with some really beautiful shots before not realizing what I had done to make it happen! I have purchased your video set before but, it’s not going to do me any good unless I take chances of making mistakes trying to correct my swing. I’ve always been a believer of good mechanics with my golf swing and some people would criticize me in fun saying, “ I ain’t no pro , just go ahead and hit the ball!” Criticize or not, over the years I have emulated the way that the pros strike the ball and have enjoyed playing the game. Thanks again for this video!

    The suggestion about letting go of outcome and emphasizing freedom (playfulness) in the learning process is excellent. He’s focusing on process factors and as he might say proximal variables that are on a manageable scale. So many golf instructors are difficult to listen to. This one is just right. He’s got a concept in mind (analysis of swing things there go wrong) and a go to remedy (simple drill or two). Thanks.

    Thank you for your informative and thought provoking video. Especially the drills. For those of us living in places where the deep green is covered by the fluffy white, I say keep practicing indoors. Even low low budgets like mine can practice when it is 32 degrees or lower outside. Let's Play Golf And Talk.

    This is going to be my season to break 100 consistently, and my goal is to crack into the 80s. When I do, I'm going to give you (and my persistence) the credit. Your lessons are broken down very effectively. You take nothing for granted; and your statement (in the straight driver video) that "it's a game of the stick and a ball" was like a light turning on! Right! It's actually quite simple, as simple as you'll let it be. I brought this revelation into my practice by just swinging through a teed up ball meaning to merely hit it straight if only 50 or so yards. You know what happened. I was hitting 125, 150 without even trying. A stick and a ball. Thanks!

    Brand new to golf, went to a driving range the other day and in the beginning I was worried about not hitting the ball. I would miss behind and the readjust and miss over the top. After a while I let loose a little bit and didn't think of hitting the ball and it helped so much. I was making solid contact. Then by my second lot of balls I was aiming for targets and getting close. This video is great. Wish I seen it before I went.
