My 15 year old son is just getting the bug for golf. He has a really natural swing. But he has the knees too bent at address issue. As a father, I have learned it is not always advisable to try and teach/coach. Ha ha. 😉😳. So Kerrod, I think you for putting this excellent video on RU-vid, and I just shared a section with him. Your instruction here and in your other videos is clear, calm, specific and conveys your love and knowledge of the game. In this case, you are also helping father-son relations. 😉 For other father's out there, who may be decent players like myself, but find it, shall we say, a bit challenging to gently instruct your child, I suggest giving my approach to try. Send them some video tips from Kerrod relating to their fundamental issues, and you can enjoy your range session more, as your child looks at the tips on the phone. This generation is going to be looking at their phone anyway. 😉😅. Might as well make it excellent golf instruction. I also suggest that you send a clip of the specific issue to your child. For example, I sent a clip of this video, starting exactly at the part where Kerrod discusses steps of how to address the ball. Go with a RU-vid CLIP. A six minute video is far too long for this generation. 😳😳😂😂 I'm of the generation where I remember being incredibly excited getting a VHS tape of Nicklaus' "golf my way ". Time marches on. It's August 31st, and Home Depot, a big Home improvement store here in the states, already had their huge Halloween displays out. 😳 Sadly here in Northeast US, that means the golf season is mainly in the rearview mirror Thank you Kerrod, for providing such excellent online content.

Easy way to set up. I knew this but why I do not use this simple set up procedure every time is beyond me! This really reinforces me to go through this set up routine. Thanks and keep on keeping it simple!
As a larger golfer (240 lbs of densely packed fast twitch muscles), I loved the advice re: transition and posture. Shifting my weight can be problematic at times, particularly if I’m not balanced properly. Thanks for these tips which I’ll work on during the next few outings. Ken Jones
Wow glad I saw this video as I’m struggling with ball striking and balance Thanks for the great video and information, I will implement this routine and let you know how it worked out as I play again Friday
Hello Kerrod: In your video, you say "hinge/tilt from the hips": are you hinging from the hip ball joint? You pointed at the top of the pelvis as the hinge point.
Thanks for a routine that I can follow. Variations in my posture have a significant impact of my ball striking. Do you have any other instructions on posture and maintaining balance? I would like to learn how the pros can swing so fast, yet maintain such good balance, and use those techniques in my golf game.
Very good the only comment I have is that I'm a one plane swinger and have my arms outstretched more my right arm is in a straight line when I do my right side tilt. Your routine is very good the only difference is straight right arm at address with the tilt.
Hi, K I'm having a problem with Hitting golf ball thin sometimes. I'm pretty sure I'm coming out of posture. This tip will help! Ps do I keep same posture though golf swing. I squeeze in to my left leg. That's when I think I'm coming out of posture. Any help would be appreciated. Thank's Ric
I have watched plenty instructions in the past few years. Some teachersaresaying.T uck our BUTTunder. I noticed you dont say that. Furthermore you have made this difficult position for most of us to get and repeat. So beautifullyclear. I think i can repeatit every time. Tks so much. It has to help so many of us who get this extremely important part of the process wrong
@Kerrod Gray Golf what. Do you think about keeping the little arch in the lower back or should we round it like a lot if teaching Pro say ti do. Dont know whats right
