Wish you would start doing drills online again especially with how popular TikTok is these days. You had the best instruction and visuals with training aids!!!
Natalie, Thanks so much for this video. I have a fairly large chest, and some golf coaches were telling me to put my left arm on top of my left breast, which took me out of alignment. Your technique with my elbows rotated in has solved my problem. This is definitely a game changing technique for me.
@@VimMitt it depends on your dominant ground force whether it’s rotational or vertical that you want to increase. With early extension the left side of the pelvis isn’t moving away from the ball at the most optimal time, it’s too slow so this is a way to improve that
After years trying hard to fix my overswing with no success (I tried everything) I decided to keep overswinging. Im hyper flexible. If John Daly overswings, why shouldn't I?
I have never heard of this. Never. I just had an indoor swing trying this and noticed that the cupping of my left wrist, which I am trying to cure, was much flatter with the arms positioned as suggest. Is this coincidence or does it actually help prevent cupping ?
That depends on how you personally release the club through impact. But in general toe slightly down would be ok (provided you don’t start the ball left of target when you hit)
Absolutely using the upper body is indeed the core of a great golf swing. And what rotates the core of our body from start to finish are the muscles of our core and around those muscles is our rib cage Percy Cooper spoke of swinging in a barrel. I now suggest the so call barrel is the rolling rib cage of our bent chest that is at core center to a great golf swing. So let the good times roll. Don’t worry Swing Happy😊Cheers
Where should the butt end of the driver point at address? At the belly button? Above it? Below it? Should the butt end of any club point at the same spot on the body or is it different for short irons as opposed to fairway or rescue clubs? Is it different for a tall person versus a short person?
It should point level but just to the left (for a right handed golfer) of your belly button. Ball position will change for different clubs but the butt end will generally always point there irrelevant of height
Do you have a video on width of stance with the various clubs? Your driver stance looks quite wide which I am guessing provides a lot of stability. But how wide is too wide (hard to get through the ball) or too narrow (not stable)?
Yes that’s correct - it depends on which of the 3 ground forces you are most dominant with if you are a rotational player you’d suit a less wide stance and a lateral player will suit a wider stance
@@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING I didn't expect you to reply as it's been a couple of years but I hope you are OK your end. Totally understand the absence as RU-vid for a lot of content creators has been harder and harder as far as monetary terms is concerned.
No false advertising here!!! This drill is solid gold and certainly IS the ULTIMATE drill !!! I have struggled with bunker shots most of my golfing life. Took the drill down to the local practice range bunker and within a couple of minutes I was getting the best results ever!!! I was in control like never before! Wow! And Thanks! P.S. Now I see why the pros like hitting it in the sand.
I can't thank you enough for this video!! I am 82 years old, play golf 3-4 times a week, I have watched more RU-vid videos on golf than I care to admit and even though I have equaled or bettered my age 13 times so far in 2024, no one has ever broken down the golf swing better than this....a true "light bulb" moment!! I feel like I feel like I have been in a dark closet and somebody (you) just opened the door!! So much thanks! --Doug Schakel, Olathe, Kansas USA
This is the first time I’ve ever seen it explained like this and I have to tell you thank you thank you thank you because it works. I watch the video I went to the course today and I did exactly what you said and it works what I was doing before was the exact thing that you said not to do and all of a sudden Bam thank you I love you
What about if your wrist conditions get you across/over the line at the top with a very closed club face causing you to re-route the club behind and get it stuck behind you to shallow it, to get it on plane, resulting in big overdraws/hooks with club path quite out to the right at impact. Making it more difficult with lower lofted clubs to get them up in the air. Would you still be trying to do the same shown in the video or something different with the wrists? Thanks
Check your takeaway - usually if you get across the line at the top it’s because you have excessive rotation in your arms during your takeaway causing you to take the club head on the inside too much so I’d work on improving that
@@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING and if your takeaway seems ok, not much forearm rotation and club head isn’t inside, it’s just outside the hands at club parallel to the ground, what would you recommend? I suppose it’s pretty difficult to say without actually seeing it
I use a moderately strong grip, so the left wrist is extended at setup. I understand the position the clubface should be halfway back, but I feel that this finds my wrist too extended at the top. Clearly, I can take the extension out of the wrist during the takeaway move, but this fans the clubface too open, and the ball tends to go right, then. So the question is twofold, I guess: What is the extension/flexion feeling I want halfway back, and when do I actively begin to flatten that left wrist so that it is not extended at all?
If you want to keep more on plane then completely takeaway to shaft horizontal/parallel to the ground and leading edge should be similar position to your spine angle. This will allow a steeper shaft set when hinging the wrists. From this point you can now move to the top and work lead wrist more into flexion - so that happens between cocking the wrists and the top (some players to it a little earlier in this phase some a little later)
Very curious/confused why you would say the longer shaft of the driver might take the shaft to parallel at the top. The position of the shaft at the top of the backswing ideally would not be dictated by shaft length, yes? I mean, the angle of the shaft is dependent on the position of arms and wrists, yes, not shaft length?
Yes that’s totally correct but when you are swinging at speed with momentum there is more of that with a longer shafted club so you would see a different position with wedge v driver
@@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING Thank you. I look like Phil Mickelson at the top of my driver swing, except that I'm right handed, and I've never won even a penny playing golf. :)
This question depends on a lot of factors - how tall are you v your wingspan which will influence whether you swing more upright or flatter. How do you release the golf club so what’s your position around 3 feet before impact? How do you hold the golf club as this will affect club face through impact as well. If you flip the club face closed check if your club face is too open during the downswing and also check if you release too early - you need to address why. Power comes from sequencing the movement of the body arms and club release well
