How to swing the golf club for the best results. 

LOVE THESE VIDEOS! I was taught golf by my grandfather a scratch golfer with a half to 3/4 swing. That’s all I knew. I went through life with a 3/4 and it bought me a full ride scholarship to a div 1 university. Now I am a grandfather with a half swing teaching my grandkids a 3/4 swing.

I’ve seen all the internet golf videos. None say the same thing. I’ve never learned to swing from watching videos because they’re so complicated. You come along with this swing and it changed my game. Thank you!!! Why can’t anyone else make it this easy? Bravo!!

Hello Jimmy, I'm 73 just had quadruple heart bypass surgery last Nov. I golf twice a week in senior leagues. But I lost my swing. Pulling pushing topping shanking, with irons. Thinking maybe it's time to give up golf. Until I found this video and your channel. I can't believe how this and your other videos has fixed my swing. Thanks and keep up the good work.

I’m over 61 (4.1 handicap) and have been using this swing thought for a couple months now. I wanted it to increase my consistency, but I’ve been really surprised I’ve gained distance! About 10 more yards on the irons and about 20 on the driver. This way of swinging just syncs up the body and arms better and with better center face strikes, it’s been amazing. Keep up the great work!

I now wave at the camera, do the half swing, and let the shoulders do the work. I'm 79, from England, and playing my best golf. Cheers Jimlad.

Tony Finau is the living proof… has a short backswing and still launches it 320! I’m sold. Great Thanks from Ontario Canada. Tyler

You are helping a lot of people and this old man play better golf. THANKS.

The hot tub works. My putting has gotten infinitely better cause I don’t fear lag putts anymore AND my pre-shot routine is solid. I’ve shaved at least 5 strokes off my game my last few rounds as a direct result of locking this method in. Loving your tips and how you play the game! Keep it coming!

Brilliant advise for the more senior golfer who can no longer make a full swing ,,they way you actually proved what you preached was superb....I will definitely be Following Your method from Now On 100% Thank you Jimmy.

Was out with my regular playing partner recently. He showed up with beautifully coiffed hair instead of his usual mop. When he went to swing he kept saying, "Turn and wave to the camera. Nice, easy swing." Went he went to putt he kept saying, "Hi ladies. Can I join your hot tub party?" He proceeded to beat me by 10 strokes. That's when he told me about Jimmy Tropicana.

PREACH brother. This changed my whole game a few years back. I have become a half swing advocate for a long time now. I dont even know how to full swing anymore!! well done my friend. well done.

Man, you've changed my swing and mindset. Repeatable!

Hello Jimmy, I would just like to say that you’re approach by keeping it easy and simple has really helped my game! I’m a student of Golf, use to try to nail it as far as I can get it down the fairway but I took your approach. I’m losing less balls. And lowering my score thank you. Steve

Great video Jimmy! Love how you play the holes as proof! Going to put this into practice tomorrow!!

Great video. A much more relaxing way to play golf.

I started playing golf about 2 years ago and have watched thousands of RU-vid videos from all kinds of coaches. None have simplified the swing like you. The right hand waving to the camera with a smooth swing has been everything for me! Consistent contact and straight shots are now normal for me. I am consistently breaking 100 and have my sights set on breaking 90. Oh and hot tub putting just plain works. I even got my buddies saying it now on the green!!

Love it AND it is my swing, only better!! Love the attitude which makes things a lot more fun!!!

Thanks Jimmy! You have made my practice sessions more fun! Your video is the best and also kept a big smile on my face! Great job and thanks again!

Great! It's the best golf video I've ever watched. Your 'Keep simple stupid' approach gives me hope.

Hey Jimmy, watch your video last Friday night ( a day before I was due to play golf ) how simple it was to follow , relax the arms , shorter backswing just followed your instructions step by step. The next day our club comp shot an 82 and came third , the week before shot a miserable 99 , what a huge difference!! Thanks so much for your instruction videos, keep them coming bro 🤙🤙 😀

This is what I’ve always thought about the golf swing. Thank you

Jimmy, you always give great advice, thanks for sharing.

Amazing putt from that distance! Great advice! Gonna try and incorporate these ideas into my game as well. Thanks Jimmy!

Thanks JT! i'm going to try for sure.....

Gonna try this next game. Sounds easy and simple.

Just came across this video and WOW! Dude you explained everything better then videos I been watching for 6 months. Simple! New sub here.

Jimmy best advice! Love it. That’s one of my biggest problems, especially as I get into the round and loosen up even more. Just trying to concentrate on keeping it tight and shorter.

Looking forward to the next hot tub.. You just made long puts so simple. 👊🏽 Thanks.

This works. Every time I remember to do it. It's easy to fall back into bad habits. Subscribed.

I'm so loving it. Totally makes sense

Absolutely true!...I'm so glad someone else understands this...I was a top player in my state as a junior player...and when I finally learned this simple truth my handicap went from a 7 to a scratch...It's true with every club....but especially true with the the 3 and 4 irons...If I had decided to make teaching golf my profession, this would be my number 1 rule!!

This is very good, simple. Good explanations on what you're doingnand thinking...

I've never laughed so much while learning something. Great lessons thank you.

Great video. I like how calm you explain everything. Nice job 🏆💙🏆

This is the video we needed ✊😎

Jimmy love those videos always informative and showing how you hit and where the ball is going . I have a request if you can make a video about your wrist movements in the golf swing the way you are showing how the ball goes is something no other is doing keep it up 😂

You got a really great channel btw. Best

Hey Jimmy. Chucked my ego and tried this out. I haven't compressed my irons on demand like this ever! Once in a blue moon, I'd compress my irons by sheer dumb luck but never intentionally. Tell you what, my distances are now all off haha. I was consistent in not compressing the irons so they were all short. I'll have to recheck all my distances now. Thanks for this truly!

Excellent... simple tricks....let your mind calm down.... great 👍

Very good advice.

Greetings from Sydney , Australia Love the video. I have always struggled with distance namely coming over the top and effectively slicing - I have a few games lined up over the next few weeks so Im definitely going to try your teaching method and hopefully save a few strokes and try break under 90 for the first time ! Thank you Paisane

Thanks!

I like your golf style! It makes the sport easier. I'm a senior just starting out and will use your method on the course on Tuesday.

Im impressed! its pretty crazy how far the ball is going!

Great advice. I’ve been using this technique and it has made a big difference in my game. I have added one swing thought…I feel like I’m taking the club head out to one o’clock with the swing. If I don’t, I have a tendency to pull my hands in. Keep up the great work!

I teach golf and for sure 100% solution for everyone who want to play good golf thanks

Jimmy you are a legend! Your approach to game play thinking is so awesome yet simple.perfect for me as a 18 handicapper that overthinks and makes poor club/shot selections.(driver is going to live in the bag now). And im loving the jacuzzi visuals. Cheers mate from Australia

Brilliant!

BRILLIANT TIPS, JIMMY! EXCELLENT JOB! YOUR GOLF IS SIMPLE GIMMY! Huge respect from Russia 🇷🇺👏👏👏

J Tropicana. The Ferris Bueller of Golf!

Well done man! Keep it going

Just love your humour❤

This is perfect, I worked on this at the driving range this morning and the exact results happend. Half swing results are full club distance with no acking back!!!

FINALLY a swing for armatures and those over 50! Consistently hitting the sweet spot will gain you more distance than swinging faster and missing the sweet spot! Absolutely love your demeanor demonstrating playing golf! Regards to Manolo!

You said Moe Norman. Greatest striker of the golf ball ever!

Big thumbs up chief 👍🏻This is what I try and do now. Tom Saguto’s vids started the big change for me…….use similar simple technique and thoughts.

Love it!

Jimmy, I took up the game about 9 months ago at the tender age of 68. You make it sound so simple. Ok let’s go give it a try… thanks Jimmy

So I watched the video last night. I play in a local Senior league and I'm 70. Today I decided to shorten my swing and give it a try. I shot 82 which in itself is not impressive but the ease in which I moved around the course. My playing partners commented on how well I was hitting my irons today. So Thank You! You Tube advice that works.

I think you're 100% correct.

Awesome video dude

It’s funny, I been working on half a swing until I master it so I can move to a full swing, but have discovered I am hitting longer than normal. And now I come across this video!!

Just found your channel. The putting tip is awesome. I already try doing the half swing. The greatest tip I ever received was so simple but changed everything for me. Just make sure you lead arm bicep is GLUED to your peck. Takes out 90% of the swing variance that messes up the down swing. Changed my game overnight. New sub btw.

Good advice 👍

Another great great video! I looked at the Trop Shop but couldn’t find those sunglasses, what are they?

Tried this technique yesterday directly on course without trying it at range. Did it work.... Yes 100%. Ok 98%😂 as couple shots had my club closed so ball went wild. For past 4 to months i had lost my feel. But yesterday after long time it felt better. Thank you

Tried it yesterday. Works fantastic. Finally the balls go straight to the fairway and I have lost little to no distance. Thanks. 😁👍💪

I've shortened up my backswing a bit and am getting surprisingly great results. Longer a bit I dare say

In my little practice session today I was half-swinging my 5-iron into my Ellermont net and hit a few that came off the face right. I remembered your "wave at the camera" technique and suddenly the exact same swing was going dead straight into the net. I think you've unlocked the secret to squaring the club face.

When im struggling i do this this. I just shorten my swing. Always seems to get me back into sequence and back to normal. Great video. 😊

Thanks for all your videos. My mindset with the half swing now makes it so much easier to not kill the ball. However, with the shorter swing, do you recommend to play with more flex? Senior flex vs regular? Tried a ladies flex and got 10 extra yards but club felt too light. What are your thoughts?

Lol 😂 I love your style

I actually use that "Hot tub" analogy, with hot chicks in it, while putting now. Definite improvement in my game! I love your lessons!

Literary played with this mindset yesterday. The front 9 went well. Back 9 was atrocious. But I was progress.

Jimmy great technique. Do you have the results when using a driver, fairway woods, or hybrids? BTW great looking shirt. Who makes it?

After being injured for 3 years I went out and played. On the 3rd hole I have to clear the ditch which is 240 yards or you will make a big score. From the white it is 384 yards up hill so the slope from the 150 is actually 180. I made it over the ditch and the ball was straight on my first swing using your method. I pulled some shots and I have to do the box drill. I shot 78 which is high for me but at 76 I was happy. I will let you know how things go after I do many hours on the range. Thank you Jimmy. It works.

Definitely a believer in the half swing I started using it a few months ago scores started getting lower and lower straight shots and accurate still had lots of power and distance

That’s another great lesson Jimmy 👌🏼 can we apply the short swing to the long clubs like the one driver and the hybrid etc ?

Amazing putt.... the jacuzzi!!! 100% I'll let you know how it goes. Monday and next got a round. Front 9 today was 7 bogeys, one +2 followed by a par during match play. Can't tell you what I shot but I won 9-5 at a buck a hole and couldn't tell you how I shot. Rematch Monday $1 a stroke. That should keep me focussed but 100% Jacuzzis and short swings! Gratz

I'm 59, taking lessons for the first time. My instructor has me doing this. I don't have the longest backswing anyway, but we talk about getting to 9 o clock with more width. It works well. I haven't lost a yard. I can't say I trust it yet. But swinging more like John Rahm isn't a bad idea 🙂

How about a face on view of the swing with ball position. Im addicted to figuring this out! It makes perfect sense.

Manny look at the bunny. Flyyy pelican!

Stellar! The biggest variable in golf is learning how to “shallow” the golf club. Takes a lot of practice. Not simple. This eliminates that variable! The club is already shallowed when you begin the backswing. You get your distance from using the big muscles of your lower body and elbow position at the top (or mid). You don’t throw a baseball or football with your elbow tucked to your rib cage, aka, Shawn Clement’s Wisdom in Golf. Keep those arms and wrists relaxed. You’ll subconsciously grip the club tight enough at impact. This video is a game changer! 👊🏻

love this. How are you generating so much power? Do you use the "stack & tilt" golf swing method as a starting point?

Great pointers once again.👏 I have a local pro who insists on leaving the driver in the bag. Would you know, it's a hell of a lot easier to find a fairway with a 3w or 5w. The half back swing is also a great fairway finder with a driver (teeing it low).

¡Camisa dulce! ¿Dónde compraste eso?

JIMMY T,,,,,YOU DA MAN!!!!! Love your approach,,,,very fresh and fun,,,,,couple of observations,,,,,,,,start selling those cool shirts on your website .....when you are 3 inches from the hole,,you don't even have to say HI------lastly,,,,,,where is that course,,,Cali??? Are you a fun fast talking Italian or do I have it wrong----either way,,,,Love Your Stuff!!

By far the best golf instructional video I’ve ever watched, and I’ve watched a lot! Love your attitude towards the game. Please tell me you apply the same approach to other challenging aspects of life with the same degree of success & enjoyment? If so, you sir need to write a book. Bravo 👏

Jimmy your shirts are awesome! I bought one of each color of your Tropicana shirts. Where'd you find the one your wearing?

Hi Jimmy, Pls show me how to use the driver too, Thanks....

Hi, do you hit driver the same way? Thanks

Finally some common sense in Golf. Im tired of all the technical stuff in gold videos. They are too hard to learn and incorporate in hyour game. The half swing, who would have thought ?

Hi Jimmy, playing Tuesday, first time, going to try all your techniques, I’ll let you know the outcome. I have been practicing at the range, see how I do on the course. Ron

Key questions you need to ask if the back of your trail hand is hitting down or hitting through? That is, do you smack the back of your trail hand down onto a table top or at a wall infront of you? With the back of your trail hand hitting down, you arms are interlock with your torso and the arms are no more free willing. The upper body turn by relying on the thighs to shift the body weight. That is how supination kicks into the swing backward and forward.

As a 70 years old golfer i had to modify my swing and practiced with what i thought was hip high back swing to as fuller through swing as i could. Actually hitting it as far as ever, my grandson started playing last year, he copied my swing and hits it a mile at 10 year's old. Oh my so much of my golfing life wasted, this indeed is easy on the body and extremely consistent and plenty long enough

One cool dude....would hate to play him for money. Great advice. Most of us don't have the timing to swing like Freddie Couples.

I got the "fly pelicans" reference

Hey Jimmy, was Xande sporting a Tropicana polo shirt on Sunday?

Thank you sir. Going to try this this weekemd. Looking forward to sharing a hot tub dip with those ladies

its crazy how the hot-tub analogy really works!1 I use it all the time has improved my lag putting more than any other RU-vid tip I've tried, helps to create a mental picture of a desired outcome....genius Thw HOTTER the chicks are in the jacuzzi, the closer I get :) Jimmy you're a genius!
