I hate it when they don’t hit the ball at the end to see the finished product.
Nice work.
Srry typing on an ipod
I know its just a demonstration but to me it looks like be breaks that peroendicular qrist movement. Anyone else agree or am i just seeing things
@imarketingprofessor what you are saying here is a bit old fashioned nowadays. If you look at today’s top players the club shaft either points at the ball or in the case of Tiger Woods and Adam Scott for example the club shaft points ‘outside’ the ball which is exaclty what this guy is saying on this video.
@dn85260 try telling that to Fred Couples
tanks…and now to range….
Oh please! Backswing doesn’t mean shit. Just hit the fuckin’ thing!
Dear Derek. Thank you so much for your both backswing videos. They gave me a lot of for my game improvement. Especially the takeaway movement on this video is very good and simple explained: “Move the hand straight back towards to the camera.”. Thats it!
Brilliant video and explanation. It’s so well explained. Thank you!
The right elbow should point down towards the ground at the top of the swing. Let your right arm pit “float” away from your body…
can someone help: With the backswing i try to keep my right armpit tight (im right handed) i can do that, but i never been told if the elbow on the right arm should stick out like a chicken wing or if it should also be tight, almost parallel to the club. Hopefully you understand what i mean and i would be grateful for any advice of any kind. Thanks.
Swing plane is too far outside the ball… Should be between your feet and the ball. The high handicapper can’t get the club head back on plane once it’s layed off so far.
Solid instruction. Clear, and very efffective. Have played this course many times.
I found this video last evening, and although there’s nothing new, it did crystallize the take-away for me. I couldn’t wait to hit the range at lunch and the results were terrific. Thanks for sharing.
ok bob
Thanks for those tips there excellent
Great video the course looks really nice to. I would try and set the club back on position two with the shaft pointing down between the ball and your feet like many of the worlds best do.
@Conapart3 : Wow. closed club face?? I think not. his club face is in an almost perfect position. Club face at 7:30 should match the angle of your spine. anything more or less is either opened or closed.
interesting video. can you please post the downswing video as well so we can get the whole picture of the golf swing? thanks.
with a back swing that points toward your target line the tendency will be to put to much fade spin on the ball. I like to have the handle of the club pointed a hair inside the target line.
at first position clubface should be tilted towards ball. i call it 11 o clock ( if you look at the clubface).if it was vertical it would be an open clubface.we are not standing up straight but tilted towards the ball.
conapart3 couldn’t be more wrong at the end of move1 here is where the clube would at that point in time it would continue to hinge and eventually get to the top by not so early. the only thing is this video that I don’t like is he has a flying right elbow. This IMHO is because in move 2 he pretty much just bent his right arm. If he added a little elevation prior and bent right arm later he would in perfect postion
Very clear and useful. Can’t wait to try it!
If the club is vertical at your 7.30 o’clock, I consider that as slightly open club face. It means that you used your excessive wrist in the early stage of the swing. I know that there are golfers who consider vertical-club face is correct but I agree with the guy in the video
