Tristan Hightower is a 4 handicap and Broken Tee Society member from Houston, TX who is looking to drop two strokes from his game. As part of The Index Experiment, we selected him to get a personal lesson from Cameron McCormick-one of the game’s most respected instructors and coach to three-time major champion Jordan Spieth.

What a great video. Cameron seems excellent at communicating with his students and putting them at ease. The mark of a great teacher. Tristan you seems like a sweet dude. Keep grinding you’ll knock off those two strokes in no time!

@TBassFactory Месяц назад

Gosh I’m 43 I’ve only been playing golf 5 months and I’ve gone from a 30ish handicap to now 6.9 with 3 rounds logged into usga GHIN. I could really benefit from lessons like this. I believe I can get to scratch if I can just get a couple bogeys out of my scorecard that really kill me.

@dahcargo Год назад

I've seen videos of teachers with students, but this one is incredibly rich in demonstrating the results of a respectful student under the instruction of a master teacher!

@tadzius5829 Год назад

I watched this video and found that my swing errors were very similar to the student's and would rewatch particular sections like the lag drill, then paused the video and did the drills and then struck balls in my living room net setup. So rather than trying to recall what I was learning and then taking that to the range, I was able to get immediate results in both my swing arc and ball striking. So I can definitely say this video highly resonated with me more than almost any other instructional video out there! I would love it if you guys could get Cameron to do another similar video but with the driver so that we can see how these same principles can be applied to the driver swing.

I feel like late round pushes could also be caused by lack of snacks haha. If you've been out there 3.5-4 hours without taking in any nutrition, your body and mind could be fatigued.

@MrTrikai Год назад

Fantastic to see this interaction with a top level coach and a good player. I am a similar handicap but my interactions with coaches (only two or three times) were not like this. Seems the instructors I have experienced didn't ask as many questions as Cameron (assuming to understand and access the issues) and didn't explain the game plan to meet the objective. Wish I could work with Cameron. Hook'em \m/

@rob.b3293 Год назад

Amazing!! Absolutely Amazing. I finally found out what I’m doing when I hit a great shot and how I made the move.

@nicholasdemetriades9154 Год назад

Ditto! I had it for about 2 months and lost it completely. In the high 60's to mid 70s scoring. Now lucky to break 80.

@NFiltr8Red 11 месяцев назад

I’m doing something wrong cause my 4 handicap doesn’t look this bad. I think my issue is putting only. Everything else is PGA material.

@jeremydavidson9194 5 месяцев назад

I have had many lessons where the teacher says I don’t have a hook problem. Then on the back nine, there goes two-three strokes with one swing. Range lessons only go so far. Lazy teacher! The student is acting like he is happy but in reality he is hating himself for not speaking honestly. Get off the range you lazy teacher! I’m serious. You have the money and time. Solve the golf course problem not the range session problem.

@nathanwilliams4179 Год назад

First and only lesson Tristan will need. Yes Sir.

@GarryLindsay1 Год назад

He still was very trail arm collapsed at the top of his backswing, even at the end. He will regress. He needs to hit partial bunty 4 irons 100-150 yds for hours on the range, high/low, fade, draw. Most people fail because they try to hit the ball at > 90% of their max power as beginners. Everything is then a compensation and they ingrain these compensations. Golfers should not be allowed on the course for years until they have perfected partial shots, turned up the length of the swing and nothing changes as they turn more! However, we know this will never happen! Playing golf, 30-40 full shots, takes 5 hours. Spend that time on the range you can get to 1000 balls! Think about that!

@nicholasdemetriades9154 Год назад

Yep. Reps can make you a lot better! Unless you change your swing too many times and try every swing theory for the past 100 years. Makes for some interesting disparities in scoring to say the least.

@nicholasdemetriades9154 Год назад

Oh wow. I need lessons! When my iron swing has width and natural lag I have shot under par. When I swing longer and faster (it feels faster and more free) I can shoot 15 over! Ironically these shorter Sergio like irons come in the Winter when I have multiple layers on so.I can't over bend the rear arm! Problem solved. Wear more clothes while golfing and risk heat stroke?

It’s amazing really, I play left handed and my miss with driver is draw to snap hook. However I have great lag with my irons and at 1 stage would barely touch the ground but had fantastic contact. My swing path is way in to out. Is this my problem does anyone know

@mattj265 Год назад

Either you have that lag or you don't. I believe some people have exceptional wrist flexibility, tried everything and when I try to create lag I usually shank it but I've learned a lot from these videos.

@nicholasdemetriades9154 Год назад

Yes you can't tighten up the forearm or the shoulder otherwise you can't release the club head and you will get a shank!

@jeremycarter6297 Год назад

spieths pre shot routine makes a lot more sense to me know. great stuff

@mikebarnard2689 Год назад

I think all golf instructors should be addressed as Sir or Ma’am , gives a sense of respect and gravitas to the lesson. Can’t wait to show the due deference to my tutor... he will think I’m taking the piss 😁. Seriously good content , I like the relationship between lag angle and divot position. I guess you have to be pretty loose to get that shaft angle increasing after transition. I also liked he didn’t tinker with the students grip or stance.

@guitar1950 Год назад

This has many gold nuggets for me. As a right hander who plays golf left handed, I see some common flaws in our swings. I tend to pull hook or pull and also sometimes hit pushes. Fat shots are my worst contact with an occasional thin shot. My right arm tends to lose extension at top of back swing. Thanks for posting this!

@roadtoscratchgolf3481 Год назад

Fantastic lesson from Cameron. The toughest thing is to find a very good coach. Once you do, and it’s extremely different to find, you then listen well, learn and practice a lot. Cheers.

@tmc3980 Год назад

So good. I needed this. How do you practice the wide to narrow move from the top?

@nicholasdemetriades9154 Год назад

Do it in super slow motion! Then slow motion. Then a bit faster. Next use something bigger than a golf ball. I use lacrosse balls with an old 8 iron but make sure you are strong enough to handle this because its not easy! Tennis balls are good to feel like you are really swinging through the ball If you don't you will hit shorter pop ups.

@333pg333 Год назад

Shame about the student's cold that he had to keep snorting. I couldn't watch the whole video. However he listened and acted upon good clear instruction. First thing I would have attended to is his grip. Looked very much like the club was in the palm of his bottom hand rather than fingers. Plus he sets up with club quite vertical. Be curious what a little more shaft lean at address might have done for him in terms of feel and understanding the concepts the teacher was discussing.

@@robertcourt8593, yeah, it’s pretty to watch. I think he had more movement towards the end of the lesson, it must have been a byproduct of the things Cameron taught him as there was no focus on body movement.
