@@TheGolfSensei Your videos are awesome !! I’ve been battling this flipping problem for 20yrs. I am also from the St Louis area and would love to set some lessons up. How would I go about this ?
I do believe this is the best golf video I have ever seen. Your coach explained several concepts in a very simple and understandable way, even explaining how other coaches are saying much of the same thing, but using positional teaching and terminology that might not click for everyone. Huge thank you for the vid as I now understand what many many coaches have said in their vids but in a manner that just did not click for me.
I would like to see a chipping video from 70 yards and in to just off the green along with what degree of bounce we should be using for these shots. Wondering if we should be using conventional wedges or the new super chunky sole wedges. I still need to go through all your vids so I do not know if this is something you have covered yet. Thank you for the reply and offer to ask questions.@@TheGolfSensei
Having applied this information and these specific teachings to my practice, I successfully struck approximately 30 balls (.5 a larger bucket) crisper and cleaner than I ever have. My swing began to, fall apart, if you will (i.e., revert to usual), after an interruption in my focus. Returning to my club progression, my 2i and Driver put a temporary end to my clean ball striking. I will continue my work to improve by using this outstanding information. Again, understanding the concept(s) and fundamentals of the swing and utilizing Coach Schwents incredible insight, one is absolutely certain to improve. Thank you so very much for sharing this invaluable coaching.
Such a great lesson...these older Teaching Pros are such a treasure chest of knowledge, it's like they know right away how to fix almost any swing. Thank for uploading his short game clinic; I watched it with my 13 yr. old son, and it reinforced a lot of what his swing coach here is teaching him.
You should do a video of him talking about the mental aspects of the game, such as, 1.) How to overcome bad shots, 2,) how to overcome nervousness while playing, etc. That's a hug part of the game.
The advice about keeping the butt of the club pointing at the target line is something I first read in golf instruction books starting in the mid-80s but struggled doing correctly until the early 2000s when I came across a book by Hank Johnson called ‘Winning The Three Games of Golf: The Swing, The Shot, The Score’ in which he suggested swinging an old fashioned kitchen boom in the same way you choked-up on and swing the club at @ 9:00 in this video. In Hank’s drill the head of the broom is oriented like club face at address and the butt end is stuck into the belly which quite literally forces one to move the broom head (i.e. club head) back in ‘one piece’ with the shoulders only with no attempt to manipulate or steer the club head hands or rotation of the forearm. The brilliant part about using a wooden handled broom for this drill is it so heavy it would be nearly impossible to steer with the hands even if the butt end wasn’t stuck in the gut. The other brilliant part of using the broom stuck in the gut and it’s exaggerated weight and swing force is how at the ideal point in the backswing the force generated by the motion of the club head swinging back in a ‘one piece’ arc pops the butt end out the gut, whips it around the hands and it winds up automatically pointing down at the target line with the shaft of the broom in the ideal swing plane. Then on the way down the opposite occurs: the weight of the broom will cause it to whip the butt end - which points down at the target line and ball as the hand drop - around the hands until the butt end winds up stuck in the belly again automatically and stay connected there as hip and shoulder turn open in the finish and the force of the club pulls the trail arm straight and to the left until. After doing that broom drill every day a couple times a over the winter break from playing that year cured many of the problems I was having making me realize that if you just start by gripping the club properly, without too much tension, and don’t try to steer it with the hands, it will steer itself on the ideal balanced path. In retrospect I realized what the broom drill did by exaggerating the force of the swing - in addition to controlling hand action and club head path-was improved my balance. The first few times I tried to the broom drill it pulled me off balance because I didn’t have enough ‘dynamic tension’ in my legs and core to prevent that. I realized my swing faults of pronating and swinging too much inside was something my reflexive brain was doing to prevent me from losing balance with my previous “slack” address posture. Without realizing it the exaggerated weight and force of swinging the broom which is about twice that of swinging a club made countering the unbalancing force of swinging the club on the ideal path (not steering it inside with the hands) reflexive and automatic too.
Good training series Patrick. I’ve mentioned to you before at Balwin that I’ve watched hundreds of videos over the past 3 years with only a couple of instructors tips actually benefit my swing. A couple months ago i found Ed and the Golf Sensei and immediately recognized his swing technique and drills will apply to my particular swing faults. Already seen some improvements at the range. Really surprised when Chip told me you produce these videos. Great work!
Haha that's great! It's a small world sometimes :) I'm excited to get back out there at Ballwin when the weather warms back up for us in St. Louis. It's a fun little course! -Patrick
Great lesson. Patrick has a new nice swing!👍 This might be the most important video an intermediate or beginning golfer could ever watch. The takeaway portion with "chain reaction" is a game changer. Thank you!
Really glad to have chanced upon this video. Really enjoyed Coach Ed's lesson and it echoed what I have found works for me - less about impact and more about post and even pre impact. Have so many questions I would like to ask him!
@@TheGolfSensei @edschwent1630 What is the swing part of the golf swing? Many videos simply assume it's universal single answer. But there are so many ways to swing and then in golf we have to swing and have the clubface "square". The famous L to L drill can be done 2 ways (or more) but the mechanics inbetween are different 1 with more active wrists & forearms & another with less (same grip) // Are we swinging around our body or we we swinging the club outwards from the centre (chest) into a straight line so-called in front of us? In the golf swing, I hear many say the arms & club just go up & down, while the body goes around. But I can't grasp this. Thanks!
Great lesson. I cannot wait to get out to the range to try this. I have been battling the exact same flip for a long time with many lessons that have never corrected the problem. Looks like this could be my fix!
Had a chance to get out to the range this afternoon. Your tips were amazing. I hit about 75 balls and hit almost all of them solid and flush. So glad I came across this video. Thanks for the tips and look forward to checking out your other videos too. This is the first time in a long time that I feel like I have a reliable, repeatable swing.
This right here is exactly the fix I need. Making this small change based on this video has led me to understand that my lead shoulder was too flat and I was pulling my lead on back too much. Simply getting myself to that parallel position feeling like I'm literally sideways made a huge difference. Thank you so much this is changed my game
Found this video and feel like I’m at the same point you were at in this video. Last couple lessons I’ve had were all takeaway and face being square and not rolling hands behind me. My last lesson we worked on the club dropping behind me. I have this terrible flip lol. No matter what I do i can’t get rid of flip and all we’ve been working on was getting more to the inside and working on rolling the wrists not flipping. Very frustrating !
The flip fix for me was #1 make sure the left knee is pointed behind the ball at the top of the backswing. This puts the body in a position slightly behind the ball, yet with the pressure more 50/50 at the top after being 25/75 halfway back. This helps me recenter automatically. The left knee for most am's points forward of the ball which restricts pretty much everything rotational going back. From there, I'm not going to get ahead of the ball. #2 Positive grip pressure in the middle two fingers of the right hand, as Nicklaus and Hogan among others emphasize, so that pressure is created from the right hand on my left-hand thumb. This should NOT come apart until after the strike if at all. #3 retrain the right forefinger. Its job is to sense and feel the clubhead not push the club through the ball. The right forefinger pressure is INERT. The hands must feel like one unit. If you can do these 3 things, flipping will not be an issue. As the greats have always said, you're only as good as your hands. It ain't sexy, but it works. His explanation at 16:30 with the alignment rod is dead on. Everything I've said here should create the feeling he's showing you at 20:30. Turn the corner. Great work! Btw, your guy is a pretty good instructor. I'd stick with him.
I just want to say this coach is amazing , he simplifies everything and ive started doing all the drills hes suggested , i like most have listened and watched different coaches and never improved but Ed has connected woth me and ibe started as if i am a complete beginner. Ive scrapped every video ive had and started with only Eds. Thanks for bringing this to us
Found you guys last nite and having a hard time not viewing every video that comes up 😬….Ed has the knowledge /skill of hank haney and the communication level of darrel klassen …..now dont take that as any sort of anything except a compliment…most probably do t know darrel klassen but he was first guy i found teaching online yrs back that i could relate to what he was saying….. only he had not always the best advice /lesson so id have minimal improvement…he would say to watch ball flight over particular swing mechanics … so i couldnt get passed the snap hook i taught myself coming from slicing every longer club (5 to D) .so id go back and forth slice ,snap hook, hard slice ,snap hook etc etc…..Ed has brought into that “ball flight “ an understandable bit of mechanics ….which i cant wait to try .will be rewatching a lot of these im sure as i try to fine tune things …thanks for these lessons .
@@TheGolfSensei i dint practice a lot and only play acouple handful times a year. That being me,and possibly others i imagine lessons on how to fix specific ball flight mistakes “during “a round…like weve all heard if youre slicing to take a stronger grip and drop your back leg behind a step .that way youll have a better chance to square face at impact and to stop over the top move ..something like this for when a fault happens to do to stop or mitigate it mid round when all else fails. Thanks
Just Gave a rewatch ,and this is what i forgot already …forgot not long after watching this the first time …i made the flashlight training aide ,and once i give it a couple swings i find all i do afterwards is use the thinking in this lesson along with the “flashlight path” and i def make(made ) better contact ! The problem is (problem is a lil strong a word) is it changes my aiming quite a bit ..and it can be tough when its new ..meaning ill have the new path and old path will slowly sneak in now and then …then finding aim is all over the place lol…ill be left, right ,hook and slice because ive not gotten it completely ingrained.
Enjoyed this video! Can't wait to practice this swing. I do have a question. I have a horrible issue with hitting on the toe with my irons. Im thinking im too far back. So I move up and I hit in the same exact spot. I use the impact stickers on my irons. Drives me crazy! I hit the same spot every time. If i could only hit the sweet spot every time. Again. Great job on the instruction.
Gentlemen, thank you! I'm confused on a higher level, which is how I absorb and learn instructional information, Don't stop. BTW, I love the flashlight swing aid.
Ed, could you elaborate more on the motion you describe @7:00 in the video? You use the word “feels” in reference to what good players are doing with the lead forearm. Does that mean this is the motion they actually use?
I find your videos clear and easy to understand. I’m 73 and I have some degeneration in my spine. Is this type of release good for me or should I rather use the forearm rotation method? If the latter please do a video on that.
If you can’t turn your body much, more arm rotation may be necessary. But also you should do what you can to improve mobility working with a professional. We have a few golf fitness related videos coming out soon!
Do it with arms and body turn, under the alignment sticks, having a forward swing thought? Dont get how to do it..I have a hard time applying what I see in videos.
So I’m currently battling this exact same issue. It’s very difficult and frustrating to overcome and just about everything I do nothing helps. I’m getting two mixed signals here about the drill with the club pointing down the target line and then the last one with the club head and handle needing to be lower and left. How can I do both of those things when they are both very different tasks?
Keep the same swing movement but try keeping your left wrist flatter ( not bowed this is where i dont agree with your teacher) during take away, you will get even better compression and more shaft lean, lower flight, more distance then what you just picked up. You will also put more spin with your irons and better divots. Right now you arent really using the ground and compression as much as you could. Good luck!
I absolutely love this video and had an “ ah ha moment” my question is where exactly is the “ baseball glove” that you have young players hit into. Is it along the heel line and waist high ? The camera was kinda blocked when you showed it . Thanks in advance !!!!!
It should be right in line with the heel line so that the when the club is parallel to ground on the follow through, it’s directly over your heel line. In some of our other videos we show the same drill with 2 alignment sticks and it’s the same concept
The best way to come from the inside to image throwing a medicine ball down the fairway. Your weight as a righty will shift to your back right heel and then you step - you will automatically shallow the club. Like when you throw a ball and remember you have to step first, you cant' step and turn at the same time. Big thing left out is u must turn your knuckles down when you turn into the ball - If you don't you will shank it. Alignment stick is just showing how motion goes inside to out
Bottom line: if your hips lead your hands on the downswing, you will create lag and not flip. If you start your downswing with the hands/arms, you will probably flip. The golf swing happens way too quickly to be thinking about the clubface or even what your hands/wrists are doing.
It is obvious he “stalled” his lower body and his arms were catching up with the rotation and there was hardly any shaft lean to get a good face contact. At impact, his shaft is in front of his Right thigh and shaft is Vertical. Good ball strikes have the shaft parallel to the ground in that P6 position prior to impact and butt is in front of Left thigh (assuming he has rotated and cleared his left pelvis) with at least 10 degrees shaft lean to compress the ball.
If you flip because you are coming into steep -- it is because you are not coming from the inside. When you swing inside - the club automatically shallows. When you come from the outside, you come in steep and you have to flip. Question is -- how do you come from the inside - and that is the part of the lesson he left out.
Seemed to me when he was showing the grip end pointing at the target line throughout the downswing that his club was easily coming from the inside and not out and over the top…
Haha it will surely be a long battle to fully fix it, but the swings I've recorded lately are looking better than ever regarding the flip move at least. It's exciting to finally feel like I'm making some progress towards improving it, and will update the channel as I make more swing changes with coach Ed!
@@TheGolfSensei awesome mate I struggle with the same thing so feel the pain. The reason I bothered to comment was that I had one coach try to tell me the flip was gone when I could clearly see the shaft past the left forearm at impact so I knew he was bullshitting lol. It was close, but still a tiny flip!
Sorry Ed, but I still don't get it... In the middle of your video when you show Patrick several options on how to flatten the swing and come from "in to in" your club head is open in the downswing and really closed in the release. It seems more like a throwrelease. When you later trying to get Patrick not to scoop or flip the ball in the release he gets to more of a body release. The clubhead points more to the sky in the release. You say that that is the look of the pros in the release. But when you look at the pros in slow motion they don't look like that. Theire right hand covers the left in a "shake hand" position. ua-cam.com/video/7mFRrhRu0Y0/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared Please explain! It is easy to get good young player to get better. But if you can get Patrick to swing like a pro you are on to something really important to all us struggling amateurs.
This video could have been a 1000 times better if the camera person would have gotten closer to show the hands better and the trainer done more concise moves 😢
I've been getting more "ahaaaa" moments from this channel than any lesson I have ever received. Awesome resource of information!

It should be right in line with the heel line so that the when the club is parallel to ground on the follow through, it’s directly over your heel line. In some of our other videos we show the same drill with 2 alignment sticks and it’s the same concept
The best way to come from the inside to image throwing a medicine ball down the fairway. Your weight as a righty will shift to your back right heel and then you step - you will automatically shallow the club. Like when you throw a ball and remember you have to step first, you cant' step and turn at the same time. Big thing left out is u must turn your knuckles down when you turn into the ball - If you don't you will shank it. Alignment stick is just showing how motion goes inside to out
I like the video but I don't know what part of the lesson stopped the flipping of the wrist
It’s an ongoing process, this was just step 1 but it’s a good improvement!
Nice 👍
Bottom line: if your hips lead your hands on the downswing, you will create lag and not flip. If you start your downswing with the hands/arms, you will probably flip. The golf swing happens way too quickly to be thinking about the clubface or even what your hands/wrists are doing.
It is obvious he “stalled” his lower body and his arms were catching up with the rotation and there was hardly any shaft lean to get a good face contact. At impact, his shaft is in front of his Right thigh and shaft is Vertical. Good ball strikes have the shaft parallel to the ground in that P6 position prior to impact and butt is in front of Left thigh (assuming he has rotated and cleared his left pelvis) with at least 10 degrees shaft lean to compress the ball.
Man that ball position with the 5 iron seems WAY too forward.....no? That's driver position....at 16:07
Flashlight drill teaches all this !
If you flip because you are coming into steep -- it is because you are not coming from the inside. When you swing inside - the club automatically shallows. When you come from the outside, you come in steep and you have to flip. Question is -- how do you come from the inside - and that is the part of the lesson he left out.
Seemed to me when he was showing the grip end pointing at the target line throughout the downswing that his club was easily coming from the inside and not out and over the top…
Fixed his lag but now he has an out to in path and pulls everything left
We'll be working on that in more lessons coming soon. This is just the first in a long series of videos. Hope you enjoyed it!
At 20:51...WHERE is the forward shaft lean?....just saying. Love the Sensei otherwise....
Whilst it’s better than before, you still have a flip 😢
Keep grinding
Haha it will surely be a long battle to fully fix it, but the swings I've recorded lately are looking better than ever regarding the flip move at least. It's exciting to finally feel like I'm making some progress towards improving it, and will update the channel as I make more swing changes with coach Ed!
@@TheGolfSensei awesome mate
I struggle with the same thing so feel the pain.
The reason I bothered to comment was that I had one coach try to tell me the flip was gone when I could clearly see the shaft past the left forearm at impact so I knew he was bullshitting lol. It was close, but still a tiny flip!
Sorry Ed, but I still don't get it... In the middle of your video when you show Patrick several options on how to flatten the swing and come from "in to in" your club head is open in the downswing and really closed in the release. It seems more like a throwrelease. When you later trying to get Patrick not to scoop or flip the ball in the release he gets to more of a body release. The clubhead points more to the sky in the release. You say that that is the look of the pros in the release.
But when you look at the pros in slow motion they don't look like that. Theire right hand covers the left in a "shake hand" position.

Please explain!
It is easy to get good young player to get better. But if you can get Patrick to swing like a pro you are on to something really important to all us struggling amateurs.
This video could have been a 1000 times better if the camera person would have gotten closer to show the hands better and the trainer done more concise moves 😢
Thanks for the feedback, in this case the camera man was a tripod haha. But we will try to get it a bit closer for future lessons like this
I thought it was fine. Come on Zeeb!🤷
is that feeling almost like you're swinging the handle on through more than the club head? Like feeling like you're leading with the handle.
Yeah one of Patrick’s problems is getting the club stuck behind him and this is a good way to work on it
