Solid contact every time. No real mishits on short game and making every short put. What I'd do to get to just hitting it solid say 70% of the time. I noticed your open stance for putting and it looks like toe up at setup. Is that a comfort thing or something you teach?
Can leave a link to your video on how pros like tiger, Bryson, greg Norman, Ernie els, more Norman are close at impact to one of the more recent comments here. I'm very interested in finding a easy way to swing. Getting older and can't do all the practicing conventional teachers want you to do. I'm go for 20 or so video swings maybe 4 times a week. At the moment taking lesson and have been with different teachers over the past 3 years. Changing my swing has thrown off my contact and so far I"m more inconsistent. Granted I've had a number of injuries due to working on projects and trying to practice over extending this bodies abilities at my age 67. So I'm curious to watch that video about some pros having their body closed or even just square at impact. Your way makes sense to me, but I'll have to try it 1st to see. At the moment too much rain to play or hit balls for the next few days so I'm hoping you can leave a link to that video you mention to that one guy here. He didn't seem convinced. Either way I'm going to try it. My thought is even if your teaching is another way to go about hitting the ball compared to today's conventional ideas that take an awful lot of work to get, I'll be better off knowing both ways. I mean don't we change our swings slightly anyway to hit different shots besides our stock shots. Like hooking around a tree or going over a tree in front of you, or playing a low stinger into the wind etc etc. So one more technique is just more tools in your bag to choose what's best. You know how to swing both conventional ways and your own technique and I'm sure it helps. Thanks for the link if you can leave it for me. I may just switch teachers. One way or another I'm going to figure out how to consistently make solid contact. It's just a matter of the how and when.
Hi Jim. I wonder if you can comment on a practice question. At my home course, I can take an unlimited amount of swing path drive sized shots with 9i and under in their practice area. But to move up to anything larger than a 1/4 swing requires the driving range. So I've spent the last 4 weeks hitting hundreds of balls along the swing path through impact drill. I also can't keep buying hundreds of buckets. Too much on the budget. My question: if you had a bucket of 100 range balls, what would a practice regimen look like with those 100 balls? Thanks.
@@pauld4446 try to find a park or a 30yd space to work on the drill for free. When you practice on a range, the amount of swings you make is based upon your ability to perform the drills and fundamentals properly.
Thanks Jim. I should have clarified, the practice area at the course has 30 yard area that I can practice swing path through impact drill. I guess I was thinking about practice that involves working through swing path drill to full swings and up through the bag. What could be a possible practice scenario with a 100 ball range bucket? Anyway, thanks for any suggestions.
Couldn’t you make the same swing but have the ball further forward on a longer tee; therefore you would hit on the upwards part of your normal forward swing?
@@wimplesaur you could but it’s unnecessary and then you add variables that will make it more difficult to be consistent. Follow this logic…the reason why someone tries to hit up on the ball is to eliminate spin. The swing I teach creates low spin without needing to add unnecessary variables.
He’s correct I’ve always had problems unweighting my back foot I was shocked when I hit a couple 8 irons I actually felt I was compressing the ball Then with the driver it was an instant 15 yards more and a smaller dispersion Thanks a TON
Literally started golf by picking one instructor and it was Tom Seguto, stack and tilt. My base foundation for golf, being that I didn’t play as a child, is 70-80% weight on my lead leg, and I chicken wing with the best of them. Nice and simplified video, but adjusting weight solely does not fix your swing motion. I am walking proof.
You seem to be closed to target but your stance seems to change sometimes not as closed as other videos.what about ball position and club face ,thinking of taking on line course
You seem to set your feet and shoulders way closed or just a little closed confused by this , and. What About ball position. Would like explanation thinking of signing up for the online academy
5:13 I never knew I could write left-handed until now. For whatever reason, you doing that made me visualize exactly how to write left-handed, lol. You just write left-handed like you would right-handed. It just feels backwards but looks the same on paper. I also learned the reason why I hit those dreaded fat shots too often for my liking. TY sir. Have a blessed day.
@@dcgreenspro if you’re fighting a hook there’s something off in your swing that a cut won’t cure, only temporary band aid. Fix the hook then play a draw or a fade as the hole requires. 👊
Curious about your stance. It seems to be a typical conventional stance with the weight equal on both feet. Not your normal closed stance with weight heavy on the left side. Is that because of the nature of this particular shot?
@@JimSiverts hi Jim! weight is still in the same heavy majority on the lead foot and in this circumstance my body line is open to the target to create the glancing swing path.
Yes jack and lee did good with open stance difference is they had talent. You and i don't thats why jim is trying to teach us what a real swing feel like.
Jim been using you're method for about a month hitting iron's superbly and short game's great . Have had bother with the driver but stuck at it personally I've found that a short tee ( white castle) has worked really well and I'm keeping up with the younger guy's I play with or just behind them about a yard so thanks for the instruction videos you're system really does work 🏌️👍😁👍
Question for people using Jim’s swing- are your clubs normal lie or upright? Mine are regular, but I used my son’s recently- his are 2* upright and I seemed to hit my iron shots a little better. Does this make sense?
@@bmatt9379 your lie angle is related to your body proportions, your swing path and your club head speed. The swing I teach creates a shallow swing path and a high club head speed. The higher the chs, the more upright your lie would need to be.
Impressive for block practice. However, how about tossing balls in various locations around the green in various lies and seeing how many you get up and down with the PW? You never get two exact same shots in a round of golf, even in the short game.
jim, do you think it’s normal to feel like my trail arm is going back into my right pocket on the takeaway? that seems to be the “feel” when i’m using your method and having the best success.
@@christopher419 almost correct, I also have a sense that my hands are in my trail pocket but it’s best to “feel” stillness and in stillness your arm will always be in your trail pocket.
Can you please explain your grip and how much you roll your wrist through the contact point just found your channel it's nice not to slice as much it still pops up now and again
