This is no bullshit. I played this weekend in the Club Championship. I implemented everything I could watching Porzak Golf. I went out only trying to make pars. I played two days. I’m a 12 handicap. Day 1 I shot 82 no doubles and no birdies. Day 2 I shot 77. ( lowest round of the year) One double and an eagle that I holed out on a par5 from 55 yards and no birdies. My final 9 holes I shot 36. Final 4 holes I went bogey, Eagle, Bogey, and made a six footer for Par and won the Club Championships. I say all that to say thank you Adam for making these wonderful videos.
I am a self taught golfer, and Porzak is the first page to drastically improve my game. Dropped from a 14 to a 9 handicap in the past few months. Really great stuff as always.
So, I just got back from the range. Turn on YT and there is the PG Video talking about early extension and fix. The discussion goes to spine angle and maintaining it thru the swing. The light bulb goes on. I hit some shots today that went right or worse, topped bcuz I stood up during the swing. I know better but it happens. It’s amazing to see a video that reminds me exactly why I hit those poor shots! Thank you Porzak Golf for these insightful lessons on video. My golf has improved substantially since I have been watching. I’ll keep watching as long as you keep posting! Love it!
Adam, I just wanted to say thank you for all of the amazing content and instruction you’ve made free and available. I never realized how important getting the weight on the balls of my feet and the small flex down really was until I started to really focus on getting those little things in the setup right. I shot my first bogey free round today on a tough tree lined course. I had zero anxiety off the tee and felt confident that I could manage my misses effectively. My game is trending thanks to all of the keys you’ve presented eloquently and in the most unpretentious fashion for us amateurs. If I can ever make it out to get a real lesson from I’d love the chance. I really believe in what you’re doing and I think you’re the best golf instructor on UA-cam and it’s not even close.
Adam - when you demonstrate the hip bump, it looks like it's not just bumping the lead hip forward toward the target, it looks like a combo of forward and a little back away from the target line? Is that accurate? Great video!
Yup, this is spot on. In my early to mid 20s I was an 11 handicap. Took a few years off and when I started golfing again I just could not stop early rotation. It took me two years to realize my grip was preventing me from getting the club in the proper spot at the top of my backswing. I weakened both hands on the club and out of nowhere began hitting the ball solid again.
Love this lesson! This is my problem…over extension. Thank you for explaining this in a clear and easy to understand way!!!! I have incorporated your teachings into my game and I am already seeing improvement in my ball striking and accuracy! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Perfect!!! Thank you kind sir. That gentleman has the same drawl as me almost, I’m a Texican but live in Florida. I’ll be taking this to the range with me tomorrow.
One of my fav videos, a lot because the gentleman is analytical like myself and asks questions. One thing though, what starts or activates turning g through? Is it legs up, or upper body rotation?
That is exactly my problem. My backswing has always been a bow - that I in my head see as a wrist set. So my backswing is ultra flat and arm just rising and body standing still. But I am still a scratch player, but I would give money to get a nice looking swing instead of having a swing I not even on purpose could replicate - it just happens :)
This is my Achilles heel...early extension, "chicken wing" leading to a banana slice. I recognize that I have tried the same fix he was attempting that compounds the problem with the bowed wrist. I'll be taking this to the backyard and putting in some practice. Also, thank you for sharing the tip for saving the club face. I'm guilty of pounding ball after ball without considering the wear and tear. Thank you for sharing the full range of your student's experience levels. Looking forward to the next video!
More great content and relevant to so many - including me! IMV, it would be nice to refer to your pupil (who is standing right there) by name rather than as ‘he’ 😊
Can I ask you one question as well please? I golf righty and struggled with weak right balls. Is it okay to internally rotate my lead shoulder along with my fairly strong grip at setup? I've found I'm not missing right or slicing doing that.
It never changed! The hinge is still happening in the direction of the 45 degree angle but we are simply showing where it gets to when the wrists/club is fully set in the set position. Remember, the 45 refers to the direction the hinge is happening…the vertical you are referring to is just the L your lead arm and club make a little beyond the takeaway.
Without question. Lots of times this happens when the player sits back in their heels with the lower body. The upper body then backs up causing the head to lift when the player turns to the top in their backswing
Porzak Golf is a genius! And nobody can convince me otherwise.

This is definitely one of the best videos to help clarify misconceptions I had. Thank you!

I love these lessons with amateurs ❤

Best video I've seen in a long time. Explains a lot in complete detail
Good stuff. This guy is inquisitive and I’m sure is a great competitor

One of the best out there always insightful 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

This video was so awesome and informative
Would you please do a lesson on shanking chip shots? I seem to shank a lot of my 58 degree wedge when I open the face. Thanks!
Love your vids especially ones with amateurs. Keep it up! Wish you were closer to TX I'd see you tomorrow!
Maybe we can make a trip out there!
@@PorzakGolf that'd be awesome! If you guys plan anything around Dallas-Fort or Austin plz let us viewers know!
really enjoyed this video. Great content and instruction. Appreciate your insight.
I appreciate that! Glad to help!
Awesome! great explanations.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice lesson!
Excellent video. I have that Momentus heavy club, i guess you like it. How should i incorporate it into my practice.
That is exactly my problem. My backswing has always been a bow - that I in my head see as a wrist set. So my backswing is ultra flat and arm just rising and body standing still. But I am still a scratch player, but I would give money to get a nice looking swing instead of having a swing I not even on purpose could replicate - it just happens :)
Who else wants to see footage of Adam doing the robot at a wedding reception 😂

So Adam - butt of the club to belt buckle is noted here - is that also true for Driver ?
I'm doing the same bowed hinge, works great with driver but can take a divot with irons and keep getting a inside shank 😮

How do you keep your weight from being excessively toward your toes when setting up with shoulders past toes? 🙏
How did your hinge teaching go from a 45 degree angle to now a vertical hinge in this video??
It never changed! The hinge is still happening in the direction of the 45 degree angle but we are simply showing where it gets to when the wrists/club is fully set in the set position. Remember, the 45 refers to the direction the hinge is happening…the vertical you are referring to is just the L your lead arm and club make a little beyond the takeaway.
…also bc of where Caudill was hinging the club, he needed to hinge it more vertical to achieve the same 45 degree hinge we always refer to!
Very Nice!
Thanks for the visit!
I like these amateur videos
My current instructor has me bowing my wrist on the takeaway as I have a habit of fanning the club back inside, should I cock my wrists instead?
I have issue with lifting my head on my back swing. Would you say that could be due to my setup?
Without question. Lots of times this happens when the player sits back in their heels with the lower body. The upper body then backs up causing the head to lift when the player turns to the top in their backswing
@@PorzakGolf thanks a lot. That makes tons of sense to me. I tend to get “squatty” with my setup
Dude compared himself to an early tiger 😂 great vid tho
"like a early tiger"😩
Show a drill to get to the left side!!!
Careful not to get those hands too low.
too much talk, too infatuated with hearing himself talk, never really says what to do but loves to describe what is happening.
