  1. Great advice! I'm in the process of changing my swing. While doing it, following your process, how do I approach playing my weekly game on the course? Should I do the 5 exaggerated practice drills there too, etc?

  2. Great video, thank-you! I think this is genuinely probably one of the biggest problems that golfers have in making progress.

  3. JC, your exactly right, just hitting balls does not do it. Like Ben Hongan said, why practice without a perspective,l of what your trying to accomplish. You are good at what you do, not only Golf but giving life lessons, you are amazing Person

  4. Taking it to the course. Yup, guilty. This thought has been a in the back of my head a lot lately. I'm a low single-digit guy on the range/net (I'm not kidding). Your bit about, "…your just hitting it with good timing [on the range/net] is [all your doing]..", makes me question myself.

    On the course things go pear-shaped way to often. It's like I'm a different person. Two holes in a row and golf is easy: down the middle; iron to the green; cozy it up; tap in par. Piece-o-cake.

    Then the lunges/slaps/yanks/pulls/pushes kick in and it's over. Back to the net; hit it good. Back to the course, lather, rinse, repeat.

    I demo a great swing in the net (video); positions good; hips back; etc. Great strikes.

    So I'm re-addressing this, with a new-found (thanks to this video) attitude towards training – and I do train daily, in short bursts (net). Wish me luck.

    The 19th hole beer just tastes better on good ball-striking days. Just not enough of them.

  5. Spot on. The amount of reps is so important. I'm 48 and I've been playing golf since I was 15 and I've developed some bad habits. Every swing change that I want to make is competing against 33 years of poor technique. When I don't do loads of reps the old swing just takes over again.

  6. good video and ideas and info. one of the things i've been working on is more of the end result where i think more like where i want the ball to go and also the height and curve of the shot and think less about the how to. i mean i do some pre-shot setup with stance and clubface and ball position, and then swing and hit the ball. when i was young between the ages of 10 to 30 yrs old the only sport i was really good at and maybe exceptional at was hockey. i mean skating came quite natural to me and as far as stick and puck handleing and shooting the puck i just learned by watching i guess and never had to think much about how but more about where i wanted the puck to go. no mechanical thought at all and more instinctive i guess. the way i would shoot a shot at the net is feel the puck on your stick look at the net and shoot, the only thought would be the target. maybe i can get it to work for golf.

  7. Videoing and reviewing every swing to make sure I'm doing whatever I'm trying to do is key for me. But it's such a slow and painful process to do that.

  8. Part of the problem with YouTube golf instruction is, well, first of all, there's a lot of it and not all of it is good. But even if you take the good stuff, like this channel, the viewer/user needs to take one thing at a time and REALLY commit to putting in time and repetition working on it. It's too easy to give something a half-hearted try, not see immediate results, and look for the next magic tip/drill/lesson/etc. And because these videos are all over the place, they compete for your attention and even other good, sound ones can distract you from what you really need to be working on. I am trying to control the noise in the channel, so to speak, and discipline myself to focus on one thing at a time. Anyway, I love this channel and the instruction provided here. It's a goldmine of great advice and practical drills that WILL make a difference if you're willing to commit.

  9. I use a couple of iPads playing back my swing with the swing profile app so I can match up feeling and how much my swing has changed, plus a net so I don’t really care where the ball goes.

  10. I wonder how many people even know who alex noren is lol. I believe this is the 2nd time you've brought him up. I think he's a great golfer to watch. underrated imo. watching him on the range just goes the show that the pros aren't robots. there are things that they work on and that they have exaggerated movements to get the result they want. jordan spieth being a recent one as well. feel vs real as people say.

  11. I like these types of videos. I practice quite a bit and I don’t feel I get the results I should be getting. If I start poorly when I’m actually playing, my swing can break down pretty quickly. Most of my practice is at home into a net. I don’t film as much as I should.
    Anyway, thanks for your videos they are always good! Maybe a discussion of the mental game at some point?
