Great lesson and thank you! Staying connected is something that I'm working on and although I've seen this drill many times, you have a knack of making things very clear. Good luck to our young star too - she has a wonderful swing. One day she may be at a college with my son - roughly the same age and working towards the US college dream too! Cheers from Sydney (Aust), Dave
Excessive hip flexion could cause you to slightly lean during the backswing as well I’ve noticed. I don’t even focus on hips just keep them stacked above your feet and feel for the coil sensation in your waist
Yes x factor is a concept by Jim McLean .....however its more important that u create x factor on the downswing thru separation of hips n upper body ......another way to create power is thru ground forces......to me x factor on backswing is overrated......
I was an over-the-topper for a long time, my Club pro gave me a tip, and he said try to hit it at 7 o'clock. As you would say, Mike, boom, that fixed my over-the-top issue. So his recommendation and yours are essentially the same.
I have been struggling with "low-on-the-face" contact/"low-ball flight" with my driver. I took your recommendations to my backyard training station and it really seemed to make a positive difference in the strike and also in how high the ball strikes the practice net. I can't wait to try this setup on the course tomorrow morning. I really enjoy your golf tip tutorials and appreciate you sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.
What is he doing exactly to release the driver at the first ball? Unhinging wrists? Rolling forearm? Twisting grip? I’m confused as to what the physical action is.
Another banger upload. Love the coaching. Player has positive reinforcement from you even when the shot wasnt perfect... but was the shot good? Yes. Were the "bad" shots acceptable and good enough?... also yes! Thats the importance of the commitment to the correct target. A lot of people should prioritize refining their process!
Have you done a video on pressure in the golf grip as I’m on a scale of 12 in 1-10 and strangling it. How do i get to 5-10 and maintain through the swing. Thanks
Pitt youre KILLING IT with this exact type of content. Love the mini-course vlogs with the students. Its all for fun and learning and this teaches them a lot more than just what youre instructing... theres a camera and its pressure practice 😊❤
Great video Mike as usual, interesting concept with the early release i will have to give this a go with my nemesis(the dreaded driver lol) the one club that made me give up trying to get better lol.
i'm often complimented on my putting even by very good players and they ask how I putt so well, and I always think this one thought before getting into the process, "I can make this putt" and that's all it takes.
Mike The big take away for me is that when a player is taking a playing lesson, the focus should be on playing and not the golf swing. I have seen too many times where a player is taking a playing lesson and after they hit a shot they ask the instructor a question about their swing or about something that needs to worked on at the practice facility. Looking forward to future videos like this. I would like for you and Adam to consider doing a video on course care (straight line divots on the range, repairing tee and fairway divots, fixing ball marks, raking bunkers, etc). Maybe your golf course superintendent could go out on the range and course with you and speak to the benefits of players doing their small part to take care of the course. I know that it may not be want your viewers would want but it is something all golfers would benefit from and yours and Adam's channel are large platforms to reach out.
