Stay thirsty my friend

🤣 stay thirsty my friend

You won't regret it...sign up for my school, follow the curriculum, communicate with me regularly and soon your game will be sharp! jimvenetosgolfacademy.com

The hardest part about this is doing it on-course. It's mental strength.

The Quietlivingman Another believer in a system based on front load..,single axis with maximum stillness resulting in the most consistent accuracy of any swing method👍

@@bobcunninghamgolf, was going to share the front load tip with all the others that I know... but will check if the females play golf first. 😉 In case they're not all believers.

Great to hear. They are one and the same. In order to keep your shoulder still, you have to keep your weight still.

Fucking funny 😄

Staying over the ball and letting the arms say bye bye while your body stays put is what I think about on the take away. Despite the weight being more on the lead side does not mean I am not getting a weight shift because I do feel the weight shift to the inside of the trail leg or back leg. The way this is explained in the video to me reinforces the mechanics and thoughts required not to sway outside of the back leg swaying is a power leak and means inconsistency and a lot of correction on the way down. Great video and well explained

If you’re teaching, I have an instructor certification program that will benefit your students and your wallet.

@@jimvenetosgolf I don’t teach anymore, I’m in management, thanks for the offer, I’ll talk to a few colleagues about your RU-vid videos and your offer.

👊🙏

I think it’s because the pros have mastered the tempo part and are on another level that the common man can’t achieve with their weight shifting and angle of attack on the ball.

You've made a good choice, the concept isn't all arms, it's full of power and consistency. My graduate students and I all hit it as long or longer than the traditional swing. Don't waste anymore time, sign up for my school, let me guide you and quickly you will realize that you've made a great decision. jimvenetosgolfacademy.com

I used it for the latter half of 2020 and the 1st half of 2021. Never hit irons better in my life. Problem was I could not hit the driver to save my life. I started to shift my weight on the driver and told Jim this in one of his videos and his reply was I must not be doing the swing right and suggested signing up for his school) instead of providing any tips, I got mad and quit the swing altogether. Was back to hitting the driver well with a traditional swing but the irons were woefully erratic. I am in the process of transitioning back to Jim's swing but, while using the setup for the driver, I am shifting my weight. Seems to be the best of both worlds. Afterall, driver and irons are two different swings in spite of his claims. That said, guy is a genius, if a somewhat mercurial one.

@@jonburrows8602 Get rid of the driver . I guarantee your scores will not go up . He has a video about this . I always get in trouble with the driver .

@@jonburrows8602 I had to chuckle a little that you got mad that Jim, probably one of, if not the most, generous golf coach on you tube, suggested you join his school (and support his livelihood, and pay for the value you get) rather than he coach you for free, but I guess that is the way of the current world. Could I cheekily suggest you ask the local golf pro for 20 minutes of free consultation and note the response? But I do understand a bit. Jim puts out there a radically different method. Some people think the onus is on him to "prove" it to the internet world, and especially the "what about the driver/ what about the power crew" - which is extremely unfair. Essentially Jim's whole system is available for free on the net. No BS about here is one "secret" and "2 steps of my 35 step patented, wrist cocking, knee twisting, weight shifting, arm pit squeezing swing process to get you to stop slicing in just 10 hits!!". However if you want individual diagnosis tuition you have to fork over less than $US50 a month, enabling multiple opportunities for feedback. What's a golf pro charge for one lesson in the US - $60-$100? More? I was a member of his academy a couple of years ago (even though being from Australia the cost (USD/AUD) is a little more relative to things but still good value). Lost 10-12 strokes off my handicap. But I didn't even use the academy enough. I devoured the content, but didn't interact with Jim enough (or at all) - entirely my fault and being time poor - I have been meaning to join up again. I do however (try to) use his method. I keep making the mistake of thinking that I know what I am doing wrong and what Jim would tell me when it doesn't work - NOT staying still! But knowing what is wrong and even knowing the correct swing is no substitute for a coach, especially one of Jim's calibre. I thank you kind sir, your post has prompted me to join up again!

And specifically on the driver, although Jim's swing is so much easier to pick up on irons, especially short irons, ironically it is the driver that his swing has helped me with the most - when I get it right. The problem is our own brains (and habits). With driver in hand, we cannot help but think we need to "hit the ball" smash it 250-260m (what's that ~275 - 290 in old money). Also old habits die hard. Using Jim's setup (which might appear to be pointing right for RH), but then transferring weight and worse, opening up the shoulders is a recipe for disaster - goodbye ball. However if I think to myself , "I just want to stroke this down the middle 180m" and then I actually STAY STILL and let the club take the long shallow path home to contact and beyond then I can easily get it to roll out to 230 - 250m. (ok to crack 250m I need wind assistance, but I am very short hitter anyway). Just try half and 3/4 swings at the range - dead still with body until contact. Even start with 1/4 swings and try to hold still after contact to get the feel. People get caught up on the pedantics around Jim's swing. Sure there is a shifting of weight - but you just don't do it consciously . If the club ends up on the left of body in the end of the swing, and you are standing on your left leg with your right leg up on its toe with zero weight on it, then the laws of nature tell you that there is now more weight on the left side (say 100%), than there was at the beginning (even if it was 90%). But don't even think about that, that is an effect! Learn Jim's setup (see previous comment). Set your weight 60-70-80-90% (the most you feel comfortable with) on your left side in the setup, focus on staying still until just after contact (achieve that to a lesser or greater extent - true stillness is very hard, but the focus on it is achievable) and then whatever happens to your weight (and the club) after that, will happen (and not matter much anyway). Just DON'T try to load up weight on your right and then transfer it to your left. Think about this. If a club head is moving (SWINGING) between 110kmh - 145kmh (80mph - 90mph - for normal mortals) and you shift your weight through, lets be generous and say you athletically move (or even pivot) 30cm or 1 ft in the 1 second of the swing (again generously fast swing time), then you are adding 1kmh or 0.7mph to the speed of club. Not much reward for an enormous amount of variables and increased chance of stuffing up. Sure Bryson and the long drivers (like Kyle B) use weight shift. But they are trying to generate rather abnormal head speeds - but still 99% of their speed is in the swing not the weight transfer. And I reckon it is almost a mental trigger for them for the swing and using ground force to help the upper body initiate the swing. But look at Kyle's 8 irons (200yds) in this video his weight at impact is on the left, his shoulders are closed - ru-vid.comUgkx9_oRCE26kS0m7sfXutKowDvKyRi6SJTr It's Jim setup. He has practised getting back to it as only a pro athlete can - over and over and over again. (note: Kyle and Bryson's driver swing are another world, but I reckon we are not really looking for that). I don't know what speed you can get without shift (guessing Jim is probably 115mph+) but when you get to that, then maybe worry about adding the weight shift (or not). Anyway Jon - ignore my drivel and get it straight from Jim - he knows what he is talking about. Stay still friends :-)

I do and it shouldn’t be an upward hit. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4b2XXDJEACM.html

As you are learning in the school, the movements of the swing are taken care of by your set up and it is CRUCIAL that you ignore your hands and arms so that they can do what the set up intends for them. It is also crucial that you just focus on keeping your weight still during the swing so, if you focus on your arms or hands, then you can't focus on keeping your weight still. Try to be a silent witness to stillness and trust that your movements in the swing are controlled by your set up...then those draws will be consistent, powerful and easy to produce.

Looking forward to helping you.

Shoulders open to the target after impact. The later, the better.

What did you shoot prior to that??

NYC Entrepreneur right, he was either a 70’s golfer already or he’s just full of shit.

Wondering the same thing. Stop and look at it. Very weird. But great golf method.

...watch till the end..his weight is already shifted ( pre impact..the 70% he was talking about)..

and if you're focused on the ball AND still, it happens "every single time"
