Personally I’m not a big fan of hybrids or high lofted woods at all because they tend to balloon & aren’t easy to flight low. Also they just aren’t as accurate and my trusty 1-iron. That being said especially slower swingers tend to seriously benefit from the extra hight & spin.

Technically arms on back swing body then follows on exit.....so Jim's 100% it's not an arms and hand swing.

I always thought you were a cool motherfucker Jim; I often rock the black tee and green Volcom pants myself. I occasionally like to play golfer collared shirt and all that stuff; usually when I’m away or at a fancier place. If I’m at my muni? Shorts and tee shirt is just fine.

Your clothes are fine, but dam it; howabout wearing a cap...I mean, I am thinking reverse lid might accentuate the closed stance...nice...!!

Jim thanks for you and the swing shot my best round ever yesterday I'm 61yrs old and played from the tips in a county Amateur tournament and shot a 76 could have been a even par I still can't putt and having big issues with pulling puts , especially 5 to 6 footers thanks again a have a Merry Christmas and a save new year🎉

Hey Jim, just getting into your method, what about ball position? What point do you assign ball position? And does it change with clubs, IE driver, hybrid etc. thanks very much.

People eh?? 😂

Just think how much better you could play if you wore collared shirts and a white belt.

I quit a golf club I otherwise really liked due to thier dumb dress code.

Those people who criticize what other people wear on the course are the reason many of us still look at golf as a "snobby, uppity" sport. I will rock a pair of cargo shorts, a tee shirt and some Adidas lows as my go to golf attire. Screw the haters and play for yourself, not others. 👊

U can’t pay me to admit it… 😅 …it also takes time 😂

Amen!

Thanks Jim. Always good advice

"Swing the Swing that BRUNG ya, like Snead, Nelson and Nicklaus used to say ❤

Well said! I just want to play consistent golf and you show us how to do that.

Swing the Swing that brought ya 👊

I’m playing golf swing it sucks

Are you saying that if you want to play hockey you should first learn to skate

Hahaha...that's so funny. I was an assistant Pro at a golf course in AZ, that had changed their name and image, and was trying to get the local cowboys to wear collared shirts...they just laughed at us, but I was adamant about the cowboy boots on the greens tho...lol

Can't believe people are commenting on your outfit, and not the fact that you need barbed wire wrapped around that golf club! JVA student here, thank you for all you do.

So true !

Still we do see an awful lot of wankers down here in Florida on the golf courses, sometimes in the afternoons. A lot of people in just awful looking attire, and then mistreating the golf course as well. To me, decorum in the way you look it's a sign of respect and a reflection of how you treat the course and the game. I wear Chuck's because I don't have that much sensation in the bottoms of my feet, and I can feel the course better. Also they come in tons of colors and we're stylers.😂

I've always set up with a closed stance on my Driver. The goal was to hit a draw and most of the time it worked. I'm a 8-10 HDCP and in my early 70s but I can still hit it 240 off the tee a lot of the time. Been watching Jim's videos and thought I would try this in a round here in northern Indiana in early December?!? It hit 45 degrees so we went to the course. The wind was tough and for most of the holes cutting across the flight path. It took the front 9 to learn to aim a little right of the target (and factor in the wind). I also had to learn to make sure your hips made the 'pivot' with your shoulders. Had an average front 9 and we were a little liberal on the putts as the greens have not been maintained for at least 5-6 weeks since it's December. On the Back it all clicked and shot even par with a birdie on the last hole. The set up is just as Jim claims. You are ready to have your body set to use the lead arm and keep your trail arm from coming over the top. The set up takes swaying out of the game if you keep your front knee still and a little more weight on the front. You are going to hit nice draws. It would be an interesting lesson from Jim on hitting a fade - sometimes you have to. This round has me very interested in looking at the video lessons once our weather warms up.

I even have a 5 hybrid now know exactly where it's going every time. Love it

I love your comfort level of clothing and footwear it does not matter how you dress.

My swing has been in a funk all season. Tried Jim’s swing setup a couple years back with immediate success. Then kept searching and scrolling different swing coaches on line to a point where now my back is sore and my game sucks. Going back to Jim’s preset, still swing to get my game back!

We as golf hobbyists play the game because we love the dozen or so pure shots we get to experience per round. This preset swing works. Doesn’t look like the guys on tv but can’t argue with the results!

the "Golf Ball " or the "Golf Course" has absolutely "No Idea" what your wearing...and frankly doesn't give a "Damn My Dear " !!!

I don’t agree with every single idea I’ve heard on here, but THIS? This is 100% fact. I enjoy digging through your content, my friend 🙏🏼

Why didn’t you tell me this a year ago? I’ve been going nuts!

Glad to see the tracers. I have been trying this swing for some time now. I'm still work in progress but it's coming around.

I always think your belt loop is your crack ha golfers look like scoops of ice cream in collars

Cryalaire requires a collard shirt and no jeans. Llano is very stuffy.

I'm with ya but it does bother me when I see a football jersey being worn on a course. Looks ridiculous.

Jim you look great no need to impress anyone except those that want to learn some truth... I can't wait for spring in NE so I can work on your swing which after having tried so many other methods that give so so results...

Jim is hitting balls into a desert for crying out loud. Who's he trying to impress? Plus I'm sure if he was invited to a nice club, he'd be respectful of their rules if they had any.

Perfect, love it😅😅

👏 👏 Well said Sir. 😊 I love golf. I love golf courses. But golf clubs and their pompous self serving rules? Not so much...😕 😂 Your golf method simply cuts through ALL the nonsense. It's made the game a joy for me and I share and applaud your disdain for dress codes. No dress code cures slow play or rakes bunkers or repairs divots and pitchmarks or endows club members with a considerate attitude. If it doesn't help the playing of the game it has no place being near the game.

For some reason I think it gives you more credibility lol.

When I first went out and played without a collar on by my shirt I felt like I was doing something wrong. That sucked cuz they had me brainwashed

Brought my son to a golf camp at a private club years ago. He was about 12. He looked good but he didn't wear a collared shirt. When we got out of the car the guy running the show said, "He can't join us; he's not appropriately dressed." I told my son to hop back into the car, and I said, "It's a summer program for kids who have no golf idea and you're worried about his shirt--we'll be right back!" I brought him home, found a collared shirt, brought him back to join the group that hadn't started yet. I didn't get mad, just conformed to a crazy idea that had nothing to do with playing golf. My son is a middle-aged man and still tells the story. Today, pros and KZbin Golfers are wearing all sorts of comfortable and cool (take that both ways) stuff. I'm sure wearing a bathing suit might cause waves, but the 50s/60s idea of golf clothes snobbery is still way out of line. Jim, you look good in your chosen and recognizable golf attire. Enjoy your practice tee. Cheers!

Pretty funny! Complaints about your clothes!!?? What!! I guess they have nothing else to complain about!! Don't like it!?? Move on!!

Jesus Christ the lord and savior was born in a manger not in a marble Palace

This is why I like you...and your instruction. I love the irony of golfers discussing fashion.

Slow play and un-repaired, or poorly repaired ball marks on the greens are what annoys me on the course, I couldn't care less about what others are wearing.

We argue with the public clubs all the time it's ridiculous...LIV doesn't make you wear collared shirts and they wear shorts

Let's freaking go 🏌️

Years ago I played at the marine base with work boots and hard hat. We had a Wednesday summer scramble my team won all but one. When ask I said work boots only shoes I had with me (we were golfing after work). Hard was to protect my head from their eran shots. So I love it.

Amen!

Jim, you give too much credit to those people...
