@@0hleg Just don’t try to consciously hit down on the ball to compress it. It needs to be a dynamic move. Padraig Harrington does a brilliant video on it on his channel where he talks about applying a handbrake. It’s a perfect analogy. Definitely go and watch that. He explains it brilliantly.
@@blue24563 I'm gonna check that out. Can I ask what would you recommend for getting more consistent setup for the irons? for me when i do short swings like with wedges I'm really accurate and don't really struggle. But I think that's because it's a shorter move and easier to setup the exact same every time. Where as with the irons my swing length and back swing feels inconsistent every time.
If I have learned anything in my years of taking lessons. It's always the same emphasis when trying to change bad habits "over exaggerate good habits". For one, we are never actually doing what we think when we attempt good habits and two, once we understand the mechanics it'll work itself out.
I was always trying to scoop it for the longest time (thanks to a friend telling me to do that when I was struggling lol). Then I heard someone say to throw your hands at the ground just a couple inches in front of the ball and that fixed basically everything
I completely agree. But something interesting what just discovered by Bryson de chambray I think it was - he was a very back heavy ball striker - pretty much what your explaining to do here - and at the end of his swing he discovered using a bit of wrist, but not through like a flick, but of a connector at the end of the swing to allow the wrist to turn over through the end of the swing - you should search what I’m talking about because it actually makes sense and works
Only time I try to use the “scoop” swing is if I am close to an elevated edge in a sand trap It tends to get my ball above the earth obstruction and in a better position
I'm totally convinced that I am guilty of early extension, but i noticed in this videos when it shows at the downswing that there's a motion of like casting a fishing pole: a back then forward motion....almost loose in a way....eh??? Does that help with what it is taught here?
And they also lean back while doing so which you can get away with, with driver but that’s it also why they can’t get any zip on the ball to back it up or stop on a dime. This is the first thing I say to my buddies when they are doing this because most were baseball players but I show them what impact position should look like and before long they were taking nice divots and gold spin
Just took up the game with my first private lesson. Went out and bought starter golf clubs and teacher said only hit 7 and 8 iron. Next lesson in two weeks. This is my problem. I know what I need to do but I can’t accomplish it. 90 balls at range yesterday, maybe 5 airborn, rest grounders. I’m getting under the ball and no matter how hard I try to connect at very bottom of downswing I can’t do it. Something is wrong in my swing.
Everyone says that beginners are trying to lift the ball n the air. I think the reason beginners scoop is because they are throwing the head at the ball thinking thats how they can hit it with speed.
If the Vardon grip is used correctly it will prevent flipping of the club by restricting wrist movement. Hold the club VERTICAL with elbows bent 90° when gripping. This step is critical because it will cause the bones in the forearm to counter rotate inward against each other ( ) when the arms straighten which stretches the forearm muscles and keeps the trail hand pad pressing forward on the lead hand, the key to controlling toe and face. For the Vardon grip to unify the hands the grip needs to down in the fingers of the pad trail hand with palm wrapped up high and around the lead thumb. Properly overlapping is what all the instruction about where the Vs point addresses but never explains WHY. The wrist movement which locks up the wrists in the Vardon Grip is MAXED OUT UNLAR DEVIATION. This thumbs-down action is what happens to the wrists when doing things like casting with a fishing rod. If when the club is lower and arms straighten you “waggle” it down all the way without resting it dead on the ground you’ll feel additional stretching in both forearms the entire arm triangle firm up. You should find it very difficult to to ‘flip’ the wrists with them down in maxed out ulnar deviation but very easy to turn them over by rotating the hands ( ). To prevent that ( ) rotation and turning over of the club you need to have some flexion in the lead wrist ( bowing and extension [ hinging backwards] in the trail wrist. That is what Hogan did and I learned it following what he suggested in Five Lessons. With the wrists oriented with a bit of flexion in the lead wrist and extension in the trail as his were through impact the only way the wrists and hands move freely is via ulnar- to radial-deviation which is the action needed to release and accelerate the club through impact WITH precise control over toe direction and face angle. That ‘waggle’ action Hogan did with his hands in the pre-shot routine was just a rehearsal of how his hands brought the club head and face down into the ball in his downswing. The key is setting up the Vardon Grip properly something very few recreational golfers do because it ‘doesn’t feel right’
Great channel man! I have a question is there a slight flick of the wrist before impact? Or are wrist straight ? 2 years in just working out my issues lol thanks!
Don’t worry about small details in the swing. The sequence is basically the same as a one handed tennis backhand with topspin with your lead hand. Think of Roger Federer and the way he extends after hitting the shot. That’s exactly what you want.
I wish my grandpa is still alive, he was really good at golf and I really want to play with him, sadly he passed away back in 2012,i was still very young at the time.
Ya it's not hard to shoot 100 without instruction, so that makes you happy good for you... If you actually want to break 80, is almost impossible unless you are talented maybe played baseball or hockey or something earlier Gonna have an kinda noobs coming on here saying how how they are, and when you ask them how many tournaments have they won't, it's crickets... It's hilarious how clueless people are
Hello hows your day? I want to share you This is a message from your loving God. God is a loving God and want to save us all. God dont want anybody to suffer or have a hard life. Meaning of life is love and that's what God wants. Thats the meaning of life. If we would take care and love each other that would solve all the problems. But world is not like that. World is a sinful world. God dont destroy this world but we humans do. His immediately ready if you want to serve him. God will show you the right path what leads to life. Its a path of love. God made us and have eternal love and mercy. This world is not what God wanted. But he gave us free will. You can choose good or bad. Thats why he send he's only son Jesus that we had mercy. Jesus is God too because he is God's only son. Now this world have went to very wicked and our God is crying. So many peoples are on the path of destruction. World have allways been wicked but now is extremely bad times going on. God want's peoples to come back to serve him and he wants to give forever life and happiness. God is a God of love, mercy, justice and a judgment. He love us peoples as much as hes son Jesus. There is one big lie going on this world. Its an evolution lie. First please think this thing. Why all the fruits, berrys and vegetables taste so good? Anybody can go to own home kitchen and try to do the same taste. Then look up please and watch those extremely beautiful birds. Do you really believe birds came from dinosaurs? We need very light bones, right size, correct shape, a bird's beak and feathers. And the same time birds are very beautiful. I send only these two questions to evolution professor and nothing came back(Why berries taste so good and how those little birds survived without wings) Then they say evolution gave animals camoflash to survive. Well if we look black panther. They say it's black because it's a night-time hunter and that black color also give it protection during night-time. First thing: evolution dont have brains and it gave that black color they say. Second thing: Please think how many shades of colors are and all animal have to be black. Third thing: Then they say there were many panthers with another color also and the best color was left. Because it's the best color in the nigh time. This is a lie also because: if you think like evolutionist's: the animals system also have to know to do black anymore. Rabbit is also brown when it's a summer and white when it's a winter. We need intelligence to do that. They say also evolution develops animals or Humans what kind of element we live. Why then fish have gills and whale have lungs? They say first came the first cell and that was finally a fish. And then finally fish came to land and it was frog or something. But thats inpossible because gills should also transform to lungs under the water. They brake their own logic when they say that. And how about a whale. Whale proves also God is real because it have lungs. Theory of evolution tells everything started from ocean. They also say that plants came from ocean and thats why we have now. Thats a lie because: The plants have an underwater pollination system. If something comes to the beach it will die for it. And they are breaking their logic again. Fish and other water animals and plants belong to sea. Only our loving God can create life and everything what we humans and animals need. People can try to think but the deeper we try to dig the more lost we are. We cant ever create life from nothing. A simple car engine also needs its maker, parts, fuel and the right structure to work. I had health problems about six years ago. Finally it was so bad i thought im gonna die. My heart was beating fast. My blood pressure was high. Then i started to lose my energy. When i try to walk my legs felt heavy and my stamina went very bad also. Then i started losing my sleep. Eventually i crashed a little into the road and asked God and Jesus to help. Finally I started to run in the toilet all the time too. Then the very awful thing came. I lost fastly almost all my ability to sleep and I started to loose my weight. Blood came out of my nose and I started to lost my hairs too. I visit hospitals and private hospitals too but they couldn't help me. They gave me beta blockers to my heart and finally medicine to my high blood pressure too. I wanted to get inside the hospital but they refused to take me in. In private hospitals they couldn't understand why they dont take me in the main hospital. Finally I contact to other country and I asked can you take me in the hospital. Then they asked where are you here? I told im in the other country and I need a help. But they told me we cant take you in because you dont live here. So I can tell you money didnt help me. Later I told my family im gonna die very soon because I felt completely awful. Finally I asked again God to help me. Then finally my Mother saw one Angel vision and three Jesus vision. After that it took few days and my health came back. I got my sleeping back and my heart started to calm down. I started to gain weight. Blood pressure went back to normal and finally I got all my hairs back. This Is very short version what happend to me but I was close to death. God Is real and loves us very much. When you begin to seek God you Will find True love. Read the Bible too please because its a perfect book. Thats how you know God Is real💕🙏. Read what Jesus told because its perfect talking💕🙏
brother LIFE IS SIMPLE .... JUST BE HAPPY .... HAPPY YOUR HEALTHY do you play golf .... what country are you from? I was born in Holland of American parents .... I have prostate cancer and could urinate without having to use a new catheter every day for 2 years ... my life sucked I was depressed but after 3 procedures over a 2 year period I bounced back without Jesus or a GOD .... if a god is perfect then tell me why do young children die of cancer or of heart failure ?
@@richardfiorentino3951 God gave us free will and we humans are poisoning our planet. I hope you are fine now and can play golf nicely. I also play golf sometimes and I like lot of that game. Im from Finland.
