Yeah the hockey grip is a brilliant idea for beginners. It forces you to pull the club through impact by rotating your hips. I switched to baseball grip but i havent tried your right hand thing. Next range session ill try it with a bucket of balls

Great advice Chad…my new mantra is “ course management!”. My thoughts now are I'm playing against “Old Man Par” ie.the course itself. I don’t care one hoot about what the other guys in my foursome are doing. If they are playing well I encourage them, if they’re playing poorly I encourage them, but I don’t let their success or failure influence me one iota. This attitude has now gotten me into a single digit handicap and I'm having a lot of fun without the stress. Cheers from Nova Scotia..MikeR.

You can never have too many subscribers. I see that Maryland found you before me.

Love the name of your channel. Newest sub. Looking forward to checking out your videos. I just started the channel. Gearing up for 2025 season. I could use a few 100 subs. :)

how much forward tilt do you have?

thanks for the commonsense video i always hit 4 th in my group because i want to just to keep myself in check and have time to plan putting for the hole is the objective avoid bogey and your in the game .Thanks man keep puting out stuff ive been following you since JIM Benetos days.

Played a round with a rib injury…swung the driver at about 50-60% effort. Best day off the tee I ever had. This game is crazy.

Welcome back!! I think what you said makes a lot of sense, the other thing keeping people back is their elevated expectations of themselves. Here is an interesting stats for your viewers. From 100 yards in the rough the PGA Tour average of getting up and down is over 3 strokes. That means that they bogey more than they par. Is their rough deeper, probably, but they are the BEST golfers in the world. We think that put in the same situation that we are a failure if we don't make par from the same situation. Same goes for putting...we think that we should make 75% of our 8 foot putts, tour average 48%.

If my club-release happens 1-2 feet after impact, i would logically have natural shaft lean at point of inpact. Right?

I got back into golf after a 15 year break. This body is no longer well oiled so i found it difficult and restrictive to move. 3 months later, im left with bad ingrained mechanics to my movements which im struggling to break

Been watching Marcus videos and i have to say say you explain it better than he does . LOL . Your tips help .

No more single plane?

This video is dead on. I have found that the less I focus on movements and distance, the better I hit it. My main goal is to remove as much tension as I can. You have to disregard distance to do that. Great video man!

Trying to hit a ball far without actually knowing "how," is a recipe for disaster. Every physically able adult should be able to hit the ball at least 250 yards. 220 is totally unacceptable and clearly indicates a major problem in the use of the club. There's some good info here but the real solution is learning how the golf club actually works. Yes, there is a specific way and no, it's not common sense.

Always love seeing your insights. I would still like to see you on the course more. Anyway, I have been working on the stack and tilt system and have struggled a little bit. Then I saw Tom Saguto. Holy cow he makes the swing as easy as possible. Can you do a breakdown of his technique?

I'm a year and a half into golf and this is real . Mind set is a big part thanks for the reminder

I've enjoyed your golf videos, thanks for sharing

Play within yourself. We're not Tiger or Phil. 😉

I don’t so much compare myself to others in my group. What I am guilty of (and just as dangerous) is comparing myself to how I used to hit the ball. I worked at courses during college and law school so I played a lot of free golf plus I was younger and stronger. I still have the same set irons, and I don’t hit them near as far as I used to. A radical example is I have one hole in one. It was 172 to the pin, and I hit an 8 iron. I probably hit my 8 iron maybe 140, 145 now if I really get on it. Between kids, not golfing as much (therefore not hitting the sweet spot as much), and just not being as strong as I once was, I mostly suck now. It’s hard to accept and play within my current abilities. I still want to get more consistent and hit it longer, but the distance I had 10-12 years ago is gone for good lol. You wanted a comment, you got a comment!

Keeping control of your your swing speed can be a constant struggle. For me, I need to keep saying to myself, 3 quarter swing speed keeps my “fairways hit” more consistent. It can be a relaxing game of frustration when you don’t stay within yourself.

100% truth, play your own game.

Guilty as charged your honor. I lost at least three shots yesterday because I think I should hit it farther than I do. Smh How’s Mrs. GTD?

Good advice Chad. I've been struggling lately, and it's been changing my game. I'm always putting added pressure on myself to keep up with my group. I'm usually the better golfer but the last 10 rounds I lost my mojo. You're right, I'm playing out if their bag not mine. I needed this video. Just need to play my game and quit trying to do stuff I don't normally do 🏌️👍

Good info know your game. Play it!!

Swing your swing and play your own game. My best rounds are when I’m brain dead.

Trying to keep up with others in your group doesn’t make the game fun. It actually makes the game a slog. What’s fun is knowing you don’t hit as far off the tee, but end up with the same score on the hole - or better yet, you score better. THAT’S what’s fun. Play YOUR game.

Spot on Chad! Good video😎

Missed you Chad. Hope all is well. Couldn’t agree more, we all need to be realistic with our carry distances and the only way to know is to track it. Golf is one of the sports that doesn’t have a defendant in front of you, so you’re really playing the course and not your playing partners. So play the course and ignore what others are doing. The only time you’re concerned about the other player is in Match Play. Always always play your game, you’re absolutely correct. Cheers.

So is it the "Single plane Swing?" Or is it the amount of time you been practicing?

I believe the main reasons most of us play badly is trying way too hard, failing to relax a take things easy, not letting the club do the work and total lack of rhythm and timing, Other than that we're all good.

I have missed you and your comment sense. 👍

Have a set sitting in my shed that I bought sometime 78-80

do you have to pay for home tee hero?

Hi chad, i got a lesson from Marcus recently… i have a question. How do you carry a 6 iron 197 with just 78.4 mph? The reason im asking is that i swing my 6iron around 88-91 mph.. but i carry around 175-180.. what could be the flaw? My flight pattern is a draw

Been having club face control issues lately. A lot of issues. These are good tips. Will take it to my round this week.

I’m sorry you’re gonna be hooked to the shit out of the ball I’m not being a hater I love to see your follow up I know this is five years ago are you still doing the same thing but his system

I don’t understand one of the first things he tells you is to drop your right foot back why didn’t you do that in the beginning just curious

The right shoulder comes in too fast. There are 1000 videos out there to solve 'over the top' ...you just have to find the one that works for you, no particular one is the golden ticket, not this one (sorry!) or the next one or the 587th one...but one of them (or a combination of them) probably is.. I happen to find 'the pause' is working for me this week but next week? it might not be! I HATE this effing game so much! (and I love it).

732 U tube golf channels. ( and climbing ) Golf Test Dummy is in 4 way tie for 1st. FOR ME. Not u. Me. 😊

So funny I like your humour pictures, I got you point, modern teaching treat us like we are robots in fact everyone of us are so different, and unique in many aspects, their teachers are so boring, they follow the book so much to the extreme 😅

I like your philosophy a lot, nowadays people care so much about how their golf swing postures look in front of others, it's all fake and so rigit to go by the book, they need to think out of the box like you and other people who had spend time to watch and read the history of golf swing, the older generation swing the clubs effortlessly and make the golf swing so simple and fun game to play. Dumbest thing is to kill all the natures of : momentum, gravity, centripetal force, "comfort" of body movement....so dumb!

I have not hooked it up yet. Can you play out holes without putting?

Hey Dummy,😎 I subscribed, love you breaking down Marcus’s swing. Couple things to try just for giggles, one is a senior flex, I know sounds crazy but Dechambeau uses or has used a ladies flex. I hit bombs with my Project X, 40gram evenflow riptide on a ping G400 set at 8 degrees tee up almost 4 inches. If you can get total loft of about 14 degrees that’s 8 degree driver swinging up 6 degrees your spin drops to 2000 and you gain 50 yards seriously hitting 300 is achievable. Oh also that shaft is all over eBay for cheap, PXG offers it as an option with there new drivers. Sounds nuts but I’ve proven it. It’s just more fun stuff to try, right, hey why not. Keep the vids coming, love your approach. JS

Been using a Moe Norman inspired swing for 19 years. I like to say it’s an easier swing but a harder setup (to learn and repeat). It’s easy on the body.

This was cool to see how the course lines up with the graphics.

Do you use both arms or only the right forearm in the backswing and downswing. You’ve explained it better than anyone. Thanks.

G'day mate.i love your reviews .you say how it is basically.thanks for it all and keep it coming .cheers 🏌️🍻

Great information and easy to understand. Been watching your Single Plane series and really enjoying another interpretation of Moes work. Great work, Ive subscribed and will start learning. Thank you for all the effort.

Thx for the video. I know Marcus really focuses on the throw of the clubhead from the top. Do you think it’s easier to do this with the hands/wrists or more of a straightening and extension of the trail arm?
