I'm going toi try this today, i just have a question, what about with the driver? i gues you need to have a wider stance, but how much before it effekts the rotation? :)
@@Noerhede92 good question. The driver stance is wider, but you still don't want to go so wide that it hinders your ability to turn. Kevin taught us to experiment with different width stances and see what makes you feel the most balanced. Hope that helps!
wow after weeks of searching the internet finally a video that helps me it is clear that there are more factors but i film myself often and only now see that my feet are way too far apart i will test it directly tomorrow thank you very much .
This is a fantastic reminder that setup and routine are so important to the outcome of the swing. Poor setup will lead to poor results and a good setup can eliminate some of those dreaded variables that get us all.
I just took 4 lessons and I am still fighting my out to in path. This will help me with this for sure. Want to work on this so I can schedule a fitting.
Awesome job Kevin and Golficity team..👍 hope you can provide the same for long irons, woods, driver, putting and chipping .. wish I can take online golf lessons from Kevin and you guys.. thanks in advance
I've got tighter hips / sciatica from mountain biking, so I've struggled with early extention from time to time. Just re-hearing "check your stance width" made me realize I haven't done many face foward videos & realized my stance was also too far apart. The little things do add up & fix big problems!
I really like this, the tapping of the feet is brilliant and you can do it as part of your routine so it requires no thought to do it. Frank, you can see the different, you've been ending your swing with your hands quite low and the club being vertical where as today you got through to the end of the swing. Thank you chaps, this is a good help
I had this incident that happened 2 weeks ago where I was constantly slicing the ball to the right, thinning it. I was trying to go against my natural swing and as a result, wasn't holding the club face properly in line with my left hand and was closing the face constantly. Sometimes it's the stupidest thing man. This guy was excellent!
Kevin is one of the best and really good guy too. I got a 2 hour lesson from him about 15 years ago at Sleepy Hollow. Think I will call him for another look
i was having trouble with pain on my RH side near the ribs (intercostal?) especially using the driver - when you said the stance was too wide restricting the turn i thought BINGO, so i had a hit yesterday with a narrowed stance and it reduced the pain by at least 50%. i was so rapted not to be bent over in pain, just a slight "grab" every now and then. So thanks for the help.
Many thanks to your golf pro mate. The idea of being able to lift your toes at address is a godsend. Now getting old but that didn't explain such inconsistent form. Used being able to raise my toes in a practice session today and hit it so sweetly. I've worked on basics till the cows came home, but this tiny tip has been remarkable. If course there is always tomorrow, but hope springs eternal. Pass on my gratitude to Kevin.
You swing just like me. Your setup is just like mine except I'm a tad more bow legged...lol. Excellent instruction. My stance has crept too wide too. I've had two lower discs removed. Early extension and the sh$#%s are my trademark...lol
Wow I think I have the same problem. This could be one thing that’s cause if me issues. I usually have a pretty wide stance and it’s just become comfortable, I just measured out 16 inches on my floor and it feels about a foot wide each side closer.
Honestly check out Shawn Clement... It's physically impossible to do positions in the golf swing. You have to set up correctly and let your body do what it naturally does. Great Video!
the weight is distributed differently in each foot at address. the back right of the left calf is activated. this turns the left knee out slightly. and, muscles in the left side of the right leg are activated. this draws the right leg back slightly. the "inside muscles" in the right leg are crucial to preventing early extension.
What is the distance you have from the ball to the screen on your OS Vision? I'm about to start construction plans for my simulator; starting with OS2 with plans to upgrade to vision eventually. I want to make sure I allow myself sufficient space for the upgrade.
Hi David. For our setup it's about 12 feet from where the ball is placed on the hitting mat to the screen. Hope that helps, good luck with your simulator build!
I like the idea of trying to DO something instead of NOT DOING something. Padraig Harrington says, if you do only one thing well, make it hold your finish. I tried to do that for almost an hour yesterday, and I could only do it just a few times.. Pathetic!!! It is really difficult to hold those arms up through your finish.
Love the advice about setup, but no change in his early extension. His pelvis is moving closer to the ball on his backswing (early extension), and completely under him at impact. His weight is so far back at address, he has nowhere to go but towards the ball.
Agreed. His weight is moving toward his toes instead of into the right heel on the backswing then left heel on the downswing. Unfortunately, it’s not just about setup.
I'm sure this is all good instruction, but none of it fixed Frank's early extension. It's easy to see how much Frank early extends by positioning your mouse cursor on the tush line on the down-the-line shots.
i've noticed you're doing an inside takeaway and this will caused a steep downswing and the right elbow is stuck thus result an early extension...try fixing your takeaway and i can assure you the downswing will be automatically shallowing and corrected by itself thus the early extension will be eliminated..
So you elected not to fix your early extention... just narrow your stance? Your tush is hanging out the back at address (ball of your hip joint is behind your heels), you cant do anything athletic from there. If you hit the ball from that position you fall over backwards. Check almost any tour pro at address. Their shins lean forward so their knees are over the ball of their foot and their hip joint is over their ankles. They are already balanced. Your shins are vertical. Lifting your toes at address is good, but to be properly balanced you should be able to lift your heels as well.
Put a straight edge on his back pockets at 6:33 then at 6:35 Do it again at 7:11 and 7:13 Tell me what you see. Off the wall by a mile - NO tour player does this - NONE. Is this video a GAG?
top 100? hah, what a joke...your grip is wrong on your right hand and your grips are too small, put your thumb on the shaft, stop pretty boy handing it and get jumbo grips...#1 instructor ever commenting
