The arms just drop the club down the body turns it, is probably the best golf advice I've ever received and it just totally opened my eyes on things. Thank you

@Scratchgolfacademy 3 года назад

Glad to hear you found the video helpful. All the best, Adam

@TJGEsq 2 года назад

I was just about to write the same comment. That shift in mindset is key!

@Lubo-qd2zs 5 месяцев назад

Definitely, the feeling for me of dropping arms to initiate the downswing as opposed to shifting weight has had an immense impact on ball striking, it prevents me from sliding and allows my hands to get in front of the body.

Adam I honestly can't thank you enough for this video. I tried the straightening of the right arm today on the downswing today on course and I was flushing my irons. I've never seen anyone explain how to plane an iron that simply before in my life. I always thought getting into the slot was only something tour players could aspire to. You've restored my faith/love in this great game!.

Thanks for the comment Lora. All the best, Adam

@claudiochisani4120 3 года назад

Adam thank you very much. I struggled many rounds with hooking/ snap hooking the ball, just realized that it may be due to the fact that right arm was not unfolding in time and coming into impact high, over the top with a closed face, worst type of shot. The body keeps rotating but if arms don't lower, there is a serious issue with direction control. If the body does not rotate properly and right arm unfolds, the dreaded hit behind the ball is the result. Since watching your video, I am working on the blending of the body rotation and the right arm unfold (dynamic, as you mentioned). Can't wait to try it on the course, appreciate the expert video!

I recently purchased the Dewiz and it confirmed what I had long known, I have an over the top swing. I've watched loads of videos and it's not helped at all. Until I found this one. This is the first time I've ever been able to say this about a golf tutorial but this advice is game changing. Baby draws with all clubs, mostly straight (some small hooks) and about 10% longer with every club. And that's only the first session! I know I babe a lot more to do because it has only partially fixed the over the top swing according to my Dewiz.

I use to try to hit the ball now I concentrate on hammering the club behind me unfolding my arms I don't even have to think about the ball when I do this it puts me in the slot and the ball explodes out!!!!!!!!if your over the top this is the only fix!!!!!!!!!

During the lockdown i have time to watch a lot of golfvideos and i´m really excited about yours: Clear structure and language, one topic, 2 or 3 Keypoints with the associated drills.

@MattMJF Год назад

Brilliant golf instructional video Bazalgette! Two years ago, I first watched & liked this RU-vid video and recently watched again with the light bulb in my brain shining like a disco ball! At top of my backswing with wrists cocked I make a conscientious effort to thrust my right elbow toward my waist then let the clubface drop vigorously which leads my body to subconsciously follow through the entire swing. This has improved my ball striking to the point I often get accused of being a good golfer! You're a genius golf maestro Adam!!

@Scratchgolfacademy Год назад

Very kind of you Matt. Glad you've made progress!

@soh588 4 года назад

IMO, Adam's way of explanation is the best I have ever seen. He keeps it 'real'...allowing you to incorporate the concept rather than the specific technique into your game. My swing is an eclectic mix of Gary Edwin, Freddie Couples, Bryson de Chambeau and remnants of Jim Furyk. I am striking the ball better today than I did when I played seriously, thanks to the simplicity that Adam brings. Thanks for all the content mate!

@Scratchgolfacademy 4 года назад

Thanks very much for the comment, and glad you are playing better. Best, Adam

@paulmyers8606 4 года назад

This video plus the driver video hitting from the inside are great. I’ve used Mike Austin swing for several years and at 71 years old I play blues and the whites and usually break 80. But after getting the 7 iron lag club last week and struggled through practice with it some light bulbs went on and especially with wedges. I ordered the Lag driver wedge combo yesterday. My buddies are ordering them also. It works and even though there’s a money back 30 day deal. I’m keeping mine. Thanks Adam.

Thanks, Adam - I've been playing on and off for a number of years and suffered from the dreaded 'over the top' - exactly as you describe in attacking the ball and using power through shoulders and arms to slash across. It's so hard to get out of the habit after doing it wrong for such a long time but lessons like this and the 'Full Swing Master Series' I bought a while back are great reference points to help along this journey; great fundamentals!

Yeah absolutely ridiculous how important this move is. I always thought you tried to keep the arch in the downswing but once you reach top of backswing just pull club down.

A little anecdote regarding the results I've experienced since having watched this video. 6 months ago I had a golf lesson, and towards the end when I was striking the ball fairly well, my instructor commented on how nicely I was hitting my 4 hybrid. Nice loft, flight around 165 yds. I continued with this distance for several months, then I came across this video. This video, specifically the towel drill, opened my eyes to the concept of whipping the club similar to whipping a towel (from inside to out). I've had to adjust my distances on every club in my bag, and my new average distance with the 4 hybrid is 195 yds. I've easily watched 100 golf instruction videos over the last 6 months but not a single one of them "changed my game" the way this one has. Thank you.

This is one very, very good video. I saw my swing on a launch monitor video today and, of course, wasn’t pleased as I watched that club moving too “out” on the way down, being carried outward by my turn. Although I’m a very straight hitter, it’s clearly affecting my angle of attack and costing me clubhead speed. I will be trying this drill today.

@Scratchgolfacademy 2 года назад

Thanks Bernard, and hope you make good progress Best, Adam

@myroseaccount 2 года назад

You and Mike Malaska are the only coaches I've seen who address this absolutely critical part of the swing. If you can't get this you can't really progress. And also you've made the GOLDEN point that we aren't "shallowing the club", which confused me for a number of years, but we need to Shallow the Hands to get the club into the slot. It was an epiphany

Breaking a table top!!!! Seriously!!!! Yesterday I was ready to give up gold after playing for 30 years cause I kept topping the ball or hitting it far…. And today I’m just hitting it flush. Amazing tip !!!! Changed my life. Thank you sir. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻

Amazing. I finally get it. Amazing results. Hinging the club head up to the top with my left wrist, soft folding right arm, and of course shoulders rotate down too. Unfolding the right arm forcefully from the top, soft left hand. The body responds naturally. And, allowing the body to square the club face up by getting the left shoulder back out of the way. Everything opens to the target. Everything that’s in motion stays in motion. I just tell myself left, right, left.

I started to do this instinctively and just felt like I was leaving the hands behind a little bit. This has helped massively with explaining the mechanics of it so thanks Adam! Although my wife did question what I was doing flinging a towel around the lounge 😂😂

Wives tend (with some justification) to do that. All the best, Adam
