Awesome insight "Ringing the Bell". The more comfortable I get with making contact through the ball the more confident I have to drop down on the downswing to build lag. Sergio is the master of this and he makes it look simple!
Sergio is a supreme talent and has been an incredible ball striker for 2 decades. Thank you gents, this video was a gem. Hugely informative, engaging, and entertaining. 👍🙏🙌💯🔥🤛☝️
Thank you for great videos like this. Sergio is so precise and accurate, he can put the ball anywhere he likes most of the time, and look so easy, as if with only 1-2-3 steps you also can drive like him (which is not the case), it certainly the results from (besides his talent) tons of practice time and hardwork. At least I can learn from it to improve a bit. No wonder those top level pro golfers are always way way above other good golfers, let alone weekend golfers like myself
Well done guys in getting the great Sergio on your channel! Hearing Sergio's tips is awesome, can't wait to try out his draw method! Your channel is fantastic, keep up the great work fella's. Ps..Btw great questions!!! Nothing worse than having a great guest on and asking them basic questions most people should know, like how do you align your body etc. Well done!
@@meandmygolf. Great question! In addition to your great coaching videos I would love to see you guys do an interview series(fireside chat) with some of the greats of the game. To hear their thoughts on golf, some cool stories, and maybe a few tips along the way. So many golfers of the past we never hear about anymore, Tony Jacklin etc etc etc, that would be so cool to see. Cheers Jeff, watching from Brisbane, Australia.
Sergio finally thank you for fixing my drive, I'm a u.p.s.driver and I was on vacation back in 2008 at Myrtle Beach, and I bought a golf illustrated magazine and followed your swing and I avrege about 280 to 310 off the tee and right down the fair way, thanks
i love it when pro’s say they’ll hit a certain shot… then hit it. 👏 Sergio. i’ve seen other videos where the pro doesn’t “actually” hit the shot they intended 🤷🏻♂️
Golf is EASY! Just watch this video again and see how easy it is. We complicate it so much with all the different thoughts we put in our head for every swing. I’ve just now starting breaking 80 by simplifying my thoughts and feels. Thanks so much for this video. Sergio is a class act and wish him much success this year. 💪🇺🇸⛳️🌎🙏
One of my favorite golfers. Stood next to him on number 2 at Harbour town years ago with a slight headwind. I was merely feet away when he drove it 305. If you’ve never experienced the professional hit a driver especially a Garcia 20 years ago you are just dumbfounded how much power a guy that size can generate. I’m surprised the ball didn’t have the paint come off it. Just incredible golfer. Absolutely humiliating to me since we were the same size so it’s definitely not just because a guy is taller or lankier.
Enjoyed this session with Sergio, as always very insightful to hear from the best. Just one request Andy and Piers, with the hand movement Sergio was showing, could you please do a detailed session on this to show hand path and movement through down swing through to release and extension and relate it to the driver club face, and how the club face changes with the movement Sergio was displaying. It would also be great to see such a demonstration with a camera looking back at you from the fairway, in addition to the normal from the side and behind looking down the fairway. Maybe a big ask, but would be really beneficial I think to a lot of your viewers, and of course me! I always fear rotating the hands too much. Great stuff again, as always please keep the videos coming, much appreciated.
Love how Sergio always looks so in control of his swing and has perfect balance whilst holding the finish. Like Sergio, I’m trying to introduce more of a fade into my game after 40+ years of hitting a draw, WOW it’s hard. My body is fighting every step of the way. Sergio makes it look effortless😢😂
@@jonesydoon I’ll be honest Munted, it’s hard going. Trying to get the club head pulling to the inside on the way through goes totally against the grain as, I suspect like you, I’ve spent years hitting it through on the outside. When it works though it’s a lovely flight. I’ll persevere though 🤷♂️ Keep up with that baby draw!! A consistent flight is every golfers dream😀👍
Sergio should win more often with his elite ball striking and shot-making. He's a virtuoso on the course. I think putting is the only thing holding him back at times.
Cracking video as always cheers guys, thanks to Sergio a gentleman, you need to organise a round with these fantastic guys Rory Sergio tommy Tyrrell as they go round for a practice, it would be such a laugh and brilliant viewing, make it happen guys
Great video! Love the little hand motion idea to imagine a better downswing and follow-through. Andy might have misspoken there near the end, but I think what most amateurs do is swing 100% plus all the time with driver and it goes all over the place. Sergio hitting 90-95% of swing speed normally and then 100 is the bomb shot means you should NEVER try to crank it. Know what those levels are and never swing outside your ability. Building up your normal/average/base speed is a completely separate element.
I don’t think he misspoke. In my experience higher handicap players always say things like “I was swinging too hard there” and try and slow their swing down and that doesn’t really do anything. If they hit left, now it will be short left 😂 I think Nick Faldo said something like that
That hand motion in theory sounds good but in reality you should roll your right hand after hitting the ball. I’ve been thinking if your right hand does what Sergio suggest the club face is so closed that it won’t have a solid contact. Am I wrong here
I think we’re reading it differently. Piers question to Sergio was: “What if you need to bomb it?” To which Sergio replied (paraphrasing): “I’m not swinging 100 every time. I’m swinging 90 so WHEN I NEED 100, there’s a bit extra that is still controllable and predictable.” Most people trying to bomb a drive (farther than normal) will overcrank and swing 110% instead of doing as Sergio suggests. That’s why I thought it was odd that Andy would comment after saying “see, get your swing speed UP.” Well, yeah, of course you need to swing faster to hit it farther, but Sergio’s point was “stay in control at all times. There is no 110%.” Your other point is valid but that’s more about deceleration due to a lack of confidence that causes the “left vs short-and-left” problem. That player doesn’t yet have the skill to differentiate 90 from 100 and shouldn’t be trying to bomb a drive. They should just give it a whack at their normal full swing speed.
@@rayleeaustralia Sergio is doing basically that - rolling his hand/wrist through/after impact. Watch carefully the difference between Sergio’s motion and the example Andy gives right after of “golfers who tend to slice the ball.”
I remember Pete Cowen saying that Billy Foster, who has caddied for Westwood, D. Clarke, Sergio and Tiger, will tell you that Sergio is the best ball striker. When he won the low amateur in the Masters in 1999… I’m sure he was in the top 5 in SG: tee to Green that week which is mental.
One of the few videos I liked without watching. I know he’s not popular but man I’ve always loved his ball striking. The stories I’ve heard from dudes on tour about how well he hits the ball are unreal.
I remember never thinking Sergios ball flight was very nice based on the top tracer flight. Watched him in Dubai a few years ago. Jesus Christ it was the nicest drive I have ever seen😂
Sergio is the best, but what a guy to give driver tips. He probably has the hardest swing to ever replicate. The amount of coordination needed is insane.
Such a classy and friendly guy, great tips about "pulling the chain". I'm one of those that turn the shoulders too early. Going straight to the range (trackman) this morning to test this out
Sam Snead was asked what he did to hit it longer, he said he turned 'just a little bit more', Imagine Sam with modern day equipment in his prime! Scary!!
It’s hard to tell with the camera angle but when Sergio addresses the ball, with his legs together and then he steps out with his left leg. Assuming he centers the ball, wouldn’t that step out put the ball position closer to center or more back from the left foot?
The kind of flaws I have is similar to the one Sergio try to avoid , i.e. hips which can open to early and the club head getting stuck behind. Highly important.
My coach always referred to the way sergio shallows on his down swing and its just impossible for me to do, so i choose not to and find some other way to go about it
Pulling down with your hands at the top of the backswing is a dangerous swing thought - just keep in mind Sergio's transition is pretty unique and it is not easy to emulate....
No offence. But if you are teaching people you need to stick to basics. If you watch sergios swing plane it rapidly changes on his downswing. This will effect high handicap players if they try copy this swing. He is a pro. It's a huge difference between even a scratch player let alone any higher. Amazing player to watch.
Bit disrespctful to be imho, they have a world class player kicking a can while they introduce themselves and ask for like and promote their channel, looks like these 2 think they are more important than Sergio
Just more to announce the rest of the pro’s you guys can look forward to and have an idea who you’re looking forward to see, we can see how it can be taken out of context though, so can only apologise and hope you still enjoyed the video!
@@meandmygolf. It pissed me off tbh. I just unsubscribe and fucked the video off. It’s all so money driven now and begging for likes and shares and subscribers. Then when you actually ask our opinion as the audience, you then ignore it anyway. Pointless
We appreciate that it was definitely something that could have been taken out of context and we honestly do apologise for that. In terms of wanting people to like and subscribe to our channel, yes that is what we have to do to grow our channel and we always appreciate the support. However the most important thing to us is that we continue to give you great value to improve your golf. Hopefully we can continue to do this👍
