Thanks for the great lesson! Im doing something similar in my takeaway. I’m 76, and of course lost a lot of distance over the decades, lol. If it’s not too personal, I was wondering how far you hit your drives on average these days, and what length courses you play. I’m considering moving up to the forward tees as my drives average from about 210 to220, and Im looking to diminishing distance if I’m fortunate enough to maintain my health. Thanks.
Glad I found this video! My back is paying the price trying to chase the younger guys for yards! I can almost keep up with them but is it really worth the pain every day?! Looks as if this will be a lot easier on the back with minimal yardage loss! Thank you!
He did however come over the top- he thought hitting the ball as a pull shot with a closed face-so pulling it to his target would give him extra distance
@@TheForgottenGolfer Snead wasn't OTT in the usual usage of the term. It was OTT only in the sense his DS plane was "over the top" of his BS plane. He had more of an inside takeaway so that was always going to be the case
But like I said, he aimed to the right, took it way inside, came over the top on the DS in order to pull the shot left to the target for the extra distance. He probably didn't have to, but he gained extra distance that way just as we do when we close our club face at impact and it goes left of the target. Except he planned the pull to hit his mark. I read this over and over again when I was a teenager. There were quite a few tour players playing the same way at the time.
@@TheForgottenGolfer Yes it's well known he aimed right and pulled it back on line. I was pushing back on your remark that Snead had the club wide open on the back swing.
Swinging very easily my PW will fly about 100 yards straight as an arrow. At my age anyway. I gave a lesson last weekend and the client was hitting it easily 125 yards
Hi, I've been playing since I was 12 years old, I'm the club champion, When I have to hit a important shoot at any time I use this method, I always hit a solid shot, my father taught me this sixty years ago and like you said, it works everytime, Thanks for sharing your great knowledge.
I’m 65, retired, and relearning the game. In my youth I was a weekend duffer, 20 handicapper at my best. Eventually I quit playing, due mainly to a career change. Now retired, I’ve joined a local CC, and am finding that my Grip it and Rip style doesn’t work for me anymore! Im loving the game again but struggling. Your simple lesson for beginners seems like a good place for me to rebuild my swing from. Thanks for the video.
You have to understand that I’m not teaching a short swing. It’s just what I can accomplish now at the age of 67. The same principles I teach go for those with longer swings also. Thank you John for tuning in.
Hi Tony, I’m hitting all of my clubs so much better with your coaching….except my driver. I’m hitting it too high even though I think I’m following the same set up and swing routine as the other clubs. It’s giving me fits but I can’t seem to lose it. Can you suggest something that I can try…..please? Thanks for all you do for us senior golfers.
See if indeed you are standing too close or if you are leaving too much weight on your front foot as opposed to letting more weight transfer to your rear foot. Keep me up to date with how your hitting the driver and I will continue to help
i can only hit my wedge with R steel shaft 100 yds. and with a graphite shaft 110 yds. i can hit the driver 200-220 yds carry and then some roll out, i'm 74 yrs old and 13 hdcp. and always working on it. i can't figure out how some of these guys claim 300 yd. drives and 200 yd. 5 iron.
He does not talk about weight changes in the back swing or the down swing. We are supposed to watch him and learn something. "He'll take that any day".Watch him and you will learn- He says. There is no information here. Watch the pro tapes not this
She is drive loading which is an excellent procedure. The other golfers you point out with the long swings are drag loading. Thank you for pointing out this excellent example of a fine way to move your club. Trevino is the perfect comparison and you are perfectly correct in pointing him out. Good work and Cheers
'Tony,' your instruction is super. Its nice and easily delivered, understandable, full of good basic fundamentals. I'm stiff in my body - i can get a lot of your method.
I am inspired by your mindset. I'm 76--and I've got to stop trying to play like I did when i was 46.I was a different golfer then, and that guy is never coming back.
I believe its not a forced action - the downswing for me is the product of a gentle lateral move to your front foot after establishing the proper swing plane set up by the upswing. So basically aiming correctly, taking the club back on swing plane as your weight shifts gently to the inside of your back foot, Following by the weight shifting to your front foot, your wrists are loose enough to keep the angle as you contact the ball on plane. The weaker your grip, the more your arms will turn into the ball, the stronger the grip the more your hips will have to lead your arms with less rotation into the ball.
Swinging smooth and easy 7 iron 130yds & hybrid 130-150yds HEAVEN/7 wood 160-195yds. And Callaway Mini Driver 14° loft--195-220yards. And I play the senior tees.
