Jim’s technique is something that I wish I had discovered when I first started playing. Genius. I recently shot a 36 for nine holes at age 81 using his instructions.
Been following Jim for about 2 months more diligently and hcp dropped 3 shots. Very excited about my new swing. I’m a senior and I think this will b my swing till the end of days. I’m getting more proficient as I embrace Jim’s philosophy. Definitely give it a try and work at it and u will see crazy positive results. Thanks Jim.
Great tip. It was a a big moment when I discovered that keeping your right shoulder from rotating would stop the over the top motion. I’ve dropped my handicap from 18 to 8. I still suck at putting though.
I actually just realised this at the driving range tonight. I told myself to keep my shoulders facing away from the ball while dropping the the arms. It really worked. So it's strange that I found this video afterwards.
Very good. I use a method exactly like yours. This is the only way I could keep from spinning out. In other words my shoulders and core was way too fast for my arms, so I would hit behind the ball or hit a lot of pushes to the right, being a right handed golfer. I almost have to feel as if I’m keeping my back to the target longer. This makes since since my shoulders and all have alot less distance to travel than my arms…
I think most people understand this but bad habit is still rotating the shoulders. Like I know I need to keep my back to the target and drop the club into the slot then rotate but physically I can’t no matter how hard i try I still get the top moving to fast. I’m a very right hand/arm person it just takes over naturally no matter how hard I try.
The bad habit first goes away by getting into the set up I teach, second by learning my swing path drill and third from the guidance and curriculum I teach in my school.
So how does the ball get hit then. If I simply let the club fall into the slot without any shoulder turn? If I do turn my shoulders eventually, when? Halfway down? At impact?
