I have watched your videos since the beginning, so lucky to have access to some fantastic lessons. For the past dozen or so you seem spend your time trying to direct your lessons away from the central point your instructor has identified and over complicating things. You then appear to go the course and not putting it into practice. (recent putting lesson as an example - you went to the course and barely did any of the routine and reading he taught you). I would love you to reach your goal of scratch, but feel you would be so much closer to it if you followed through with what you learn. Almost every lesson you end up having a break through then by the next its like you have forgotten or ignored because it doesn't feel like what is in your head. I'm cheering you on, but get out of your head and embed your big break through lessons!
This. Dude hasn't figured out that it's not like bball. You can score a thousand different way and still be good. In golf, you have to shoot almost the same way. You have to remember and do everything from beginning to end, all the time. He hasn't gotten that down yet. An former baller, think about it like how you work on your FTs. You start 3 feet from the hoop. Work on release. Step back 3 ft. More legs. Make slight adjustments to calibrate. Repeat. Move away from technical aspect of it. Work on feel.
I've learned a great deal from all the coaches. From Chris, Xander's Coach, The Putting Guru with charting 3 wedges and your current one that is combining everything into one. Seems he wants you to recenter as the club reaches the top by falling back to your lead hip, then start the down swing, and square the club, but you are doing it in one motion after the club is at the top and rotating to your lead hip and face is open. This should be done slow or fast in one motion to practice but you're analytical brain is breaking this part up into sections and its harder to sense the drop to the lead hip when club is at the top. You're still ahead of millions of old and new golfers.
Great tips, I am a 59 year old golfer, two years ago I was 300 yards down the fairway but lost power and accuracy as I wasn’t playing as often. I started back just before Christmas and couldn’t hit my irons let alone my driver. Tonight it felt like I was starting to swing easier and could maintain width, more accuracy, more distance and more importantly my confidence back. \Thanks!!!
Hi Jerome. I'm in 2 years playing golf now in Japan and just like you I started golf from a coach here. It is quite interesting to see the warm-up advice that you get is the same warm-up advice that my sensei here is telling me to do. we also have the same issues of moving right to left since my swing is too high. she also told me to shorten it. :) Great content man! keep it up!
I just found your channel and subscribed. Oh boy do I love your training videos. No outdoor golf here in Finland for months, so I watch these videos and then have an urge to try some of the tips myself inside at home. I am sure I have gotten a bit better already. Awesome stuff, keep em coming and we'll keep on enjoying watching them 🏌️👍👍👍
I have always wondered why south korean coaches start with beginners on getting to the finish like in this video with chip shots. Now I know why. The shots just go straight and eventually it becomes part of the full swing. I am in love with the impact fix drill after a bad shot. Without it, one just hit 50 balls and guessing on what to tweak. THANK YOU!
New to the channel, great progress btw mate. I’ve seen your most recent videos and I see a lot of inconsistency with contact, ball flight etc. I just saw this older video and by far the most solid ball striking I’ve seen. My question is why try and tinker with the mechanics of the swing even more after these “inputs”? These swing thoughts have been the simplest for you to understand and execute imo. I wonder if it’s a case of swing overload, especially with your a-type personality. Either way, great attitude and hard work. Cheers
Bro, your swing has come a LOOONGGG way in your irons, wedges, putter, and driver! Kudos to finding the right coaches. This channel, in my opinion, is the only channel I have ever come across where the golfer(that's you my dude) isn't afraid of humility in order to take the standard, raise the bar and take your game to the next level. Something tells me that you will go pro.
You're killing it bro!! Your progress is freaking unbelievably good!!!! I'm actually watching your video you just uploaded where you compress the ball. Awesome stuff dude!! LET'S GOOOO!@@JeromeRufin
“Straighten the left leg to clear the hips” … solid gold 👍🏻 “Shorten up, extend the arms, maintain the inclination ” I’m going to try all this this morning ⛳️🏌️♂️ “Arms straight; club straight” “Just hit the target” … everyone is trying to hit it harder … farther … Over-swinging Just “Hit the target; it’s right there” Dana is genius More good stuff as always. Keep up the good work. 👊🏻
Because he’s an engineer, he needs to know the technical side instead of the knowing the feel of the swing. Thats why after each correct shot, he still asking questions. So it seems he can get inconsistent because he’s trying to remember what he has to do technically instead of just swinging freely based on consistent feeling of his swing.
Love the concept that’s actually how I’m practicing this winter. I was wondering if you could go back to Mike even with just 1 session and see what’s he’s input now since you improve a lot.
Coach Dana and Coach Chris has given you a ball flight shape which seems to Right to Left. The Draw. So that's the path. Now look at this video and see where the alignment stick is aimed. It looks like a pull shape. To use your right to left path, you'll need to turn more to the right which is why Dana said you need to learn how to control the direction. Can't tell much but it looks like ball is too far back as well and club face will be open. Moving it forward will allow club to square more. You'll need to play with ball placement and now the side bend combined.
That guy is the easiest hard-ass instructor out there. I would love to get lessons from him. I'm guessing he's $200+ per hour. And you are probably getting a discount because of the channel.
Jerome question- I noticed that on your takeaway, the club face is literally pointing to the ground, implying a very closed clubface. Is there a reason you take the club back with such a closed face? or am I wrong and that's not what you are doing lol.
Like people have mentioned before, you have waaaaay too much information from too many different coaches. Where it’s telling is when Watching the first 5-10mins of this, you were “hearing” him but not really “listening” and applying. It was kinda frustrating to watch actually 😂 you’ve improved a ton since you started, but with all the information you have, it’s hard to isolate the moment and the current session because you’re trying to apply everything you’ve learned outside of this specific lesson/session. Not sure it makes sense, but I suggest you simplify your coaches so you can simplify your game. Keep it up bro, im on my journey back to scratch as well.
Also, the coach tells him to focus on doing one thing and he goes "well what about how people say this...". Pretty much all of his coaches have said dude just focus and stop squirreling on me.
it's funny how you are so used to swinging it a certain way, that your golf coach keeps telling you to leave the club straight at the follow through but you keep flipping your wrist and finishing 😂 lot of "bad" habits built up that you were unaware of! keep up the grind!
For the people saying he's not doing what the coach is telling him. U have never had lessons. I just watched one of my lessons I videod and I was yelling at myself on the tv lol. It's tough man, u want to learn and do what they say but it's tough. I guess that's why everyone doesn't get really good at golf in one lesson
Coach says keep it soft , chip it and he literally does full swing. Not tough to do, just wants to crush the ball perfectly everytime. Every coach he's had they tell him to stop crushing and just do slow swings.
@beenadscoco8325 it's cause he has other swing thoughts in his mind he's trying to get right and forgets to swing slower. I do it all the time which is why now I'm working on one thing like keep my right arm tucked into my side until I do it without thinking
This man's a genius (please don't switch coach again!) love your videos but find myself shouting at the screen "Stop trying to hit it so hard!"😆 You've got tons of natural power and speed but first get your strike and low point sorted. If you "chipped" it around the golf course with the "half swing" Dana is teaching you you'd break 80 in a month - but could you resist the impulse to smash it? - time for another course video I think.
It’s great for content, but coach hopping isn’t helping your game. They all teach slightly different mechanics and it’s confusing your muscle memory you’ve been building up.
Learn to stop being so analytical and absorb what is being said and just do. Doing the right movement will help more than asking about it. When it is done wrong you will be told and vice versa. My 2 cents, I get you like to talk lol
Wrist angles, weight shift, shortening the swing, not releasing, etc etc all at once.. you forget half the ques by the time you swing cause he gives you 8 things to think about. You should learn to shorten the swing first. Then get less wrists once that's second nature, then start thinking about less side movement etc. The amount of times he had to say don't release your hands after the swing cause you'd forget. Cause there was so much else to think about.. puts me off coaching
Jerome broke 90. Thats not a lot to remember. Shortening the swing for jerome naturally locks his wrist angles and prevents flipping and early release. And side tilt also prevents jerome from early extension and standing up. At this point, jerome is equipped enough in golf to know how to do that. He is just kinda squirrelely
@@JeromeRufin Your swing looks miles better than mine and you hit the ball miles further. That said, this year I broke par for first time (one under) followed about a month later with my fourth round of one over. Short game, course management and belief (evidence based) are key from my experience. Keep grinding and listening and you'll and get there for sure. Are you using Chromesofts? The Stealth driver isn't that forgiving, their latest looks better. I still use an M2!
@@JeromeRufinit’s so frustrating watching you take a lesson I just want to be there and tell you to shut up and just do what he’s saying my man. You keep looking to fix other issues instead of working on what he’s asking you too.
Jerome, you’ll improve a lot faster if you will simply do what your instructor tells you to do and not simply bring up some other feel or issue before you even do what the instructor is directing you to. It is really about trusting that the instructor will take you to where you want to go. Relax that engineering brain of yours. Lol
There is no fluidity die to the stiffness of the body. You need to RELAX your body and arms with controlled power, not a noodle and not stiff because you are trying to be too mechanical causing the tightness.
@@JeromeRufin keep it up , I’m the same way , I want to launch it every shot for most part lol. Your vids are super helpful, as I am learning as well … 🫡
You took the words right out of my mouth i swear by tom saguto he fixed my golf swing in 10 minutes that nobody else was able to do in 20 yrs tom saguto should be the # 1 coach in the world stack and tilt
You're thinking too much. Step back and take a break. In bball, when you're shooting, you're not thinking, "my hand needs to be here, elbow has to be here, my knees to bend this much, your wrist needs to be etc. Every athlete is built differently. You're trying to incorporate too many concepts in your practice before working on being consistent with each part. You don't teach a beginner shooter to change every part of the shooting motion. Let your coach guide you there. You need to work on being consistent and letting what you're practicing to be second nature. That's why you're platueuing.
I would quit talking so much when he is doing drills. The drills are not part of your swing . He is asking you not to shift your weight in the short swing drill. He is trying to emphasize contact
That's not stack and tilt at all. It's just a traditional swing with fewer moving parts. The time he told him to keep his weight left was when he was hitting smaller shots where there's not enough of a swing for a full weight shift.
32:18I love this part. Sometimes too much information can be a bad thing. Golf, while there is structure and foundation that is set, at the end of the day it can be subjective. Hence why not every tour players swing looks identical. You have to find what works for you!
I can't get enough of the Dana content!
me too
Honestly I watched this lesson 3 times already and what he said really make a lot of sense about impact, direction etc. Really great coach.

Move away from technical aspect of it. Work on feel.
This coach is amazing. Thank you for posting this. Keep grinding!!
Found out about Dana through Drew Cooper and so glad you got him as a coach. This is by far the best lesson. thanks Jerome!
Likewise. (Drew’s swing is so pure but he’s gone cold lately). The stuff Dana is telling Jerome is gold. My next 10 range buckets are going 10 yards.
@@JonSmith-c6d some of the absolute best practice you can do. Flush the ball 10 yards with a full swing in slowmo.
Love these videos with Dana, pls keep them up they're very helpful!
This coach is THE best literally feels like a revelation with everything he says lol
By a country mile the best swing video on the internet. He is so good.
this is the best series of videos on here (for golf tuition!) You ask all the questions we want to ask.

This video is a gem!!! I wish I lived closer to this coach, I would go see him.
great progress. And as Dana told you - Don't bother about weight shift, or rotation. You have all of that more than plenty.
By far the best coach you’ve had. I would stick with him if I were you

No you didn't, but I clicked anyway 😜❤️
small comment. Jerome don't think about clearing hip etc all of this happens automatically once you have a correct swing
I wish at 20:20 I knew what the coach was pointing at .
