Hi John. Was Moe Norman a Hitter or a Swinger

Thanks for posting this 6 part series on restoring the persimmon driver. Found these videos very useful.

Look what happened to the U.S. team when they play the Ryder cup in Europe and they had deep rough and tight fairways...

Have you ever tried the mazel golf mini driver its just 50cc?

Very video

Golf clubs create golf swings & putters create putting strokes &/or the compensations & manipulations required to get the desired results….

Hi have you seen the swing of Christo Lamprecht? He seems to me to do a lot of things that you teach...

John…..Congratulations to both Louis and you. Winning a USGA Championship doesn’t happen by accident, and I suspect Louis might agree. Hopefully you’ll be able to post a video discussing some of the topics you two focused on. Nice to hear that Bradley Hughes is doing well. To me, Bradley’s golf swing epitomizes ACCELERATION. I believe the introduction of “The Hughes-Erickson 4:30 Line” is one of most significant advancements in golf swing instruction-“ever.” John, I say “ever” simply because I wonder just how many golfers worldwide were TRULY able to improved “significantly” by implementing “The 4:30 Line”?……

Great video. I've been a pro since 1971 and had several players win national championships. I saw Louis as a college player several times. I coached two of his teammates. I'm not surprised that he won. He's overcome cancer and a shoulder replacement. I love what you say about the transition and the 4:30 position. Never heard it explained this way. Claude Harmon was a mentor. He used to say that "golfers don't realize how inside the club needs to be coming down.". He used to put box that woods came in and pointed it to maybe 2:00 o'clock. If you didn't flatten out the shaft in transition you would hit the box every time.

Good work John

Hey John, thank you for sharing your amazing wealth of golfing knowledge . PURE GOLD

Fantastic video..i really like your matter of fact no nonsense approach

1:03 so which is better the one on the right looks like the left knee is bent more. Great victory! .... oh the one with more shoulder turn

Big win. Prestigious win 🏆 Congrats Louis and John. 🤝

as a new abs member its great to see the abs principles delivering cant wait for his interview

Great Video. Looking forward to continuation of this conversation. Thanks in advance for the future series of conversations ( I HOPE!!!!?). Mr. Erickson is truly hitting directly upon the core knowledge that a golfer needs to understand in order to get better and develop technique that will work ---day in -- and day out -- and not evaporate mysteriously on a day when maybe you aren't moving your best --or feeling a bit off for whatever reason --- which happens to everyone. jdp

Love it! Cant wait to see/listen to the next podcast episode!

Hey Lag, Any tips to help with early extension? Love your pattern but I can’t keep my hips back and extend at the right time. Thanks

Love your podcast dude listen to it all the time, but lose the sunglasses. Show us who you are.

Great video! Topics I would like to hear next are hitter vs. swinger and what is fundamental to the golf swing.

Thank you John 🏌️‍♂️⛳️👌🤓

Thank you John 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🤓

Nice playing Jesse Congrats 👏 👍 🏆

Class. Well done mate. Hard work paying off.

Congrats

Brilliant well done John. Dedication and hard work paying off 🏌🏿

John just read about Fuzzy Zoellers specs .. long post but i thought of you immediately. Fyi. From a 1987 article,whats in the bag. All PowerBilt, Driver..Dynamic Gold x300 shaft, D6 swingweight 10°loft 3wood same shaft 15° loft. Irons 1-PW Scotch Blades s-500 shafts, D4 swingweight. Long irons begin at 2° flat, progress to 4° flat in the short irons and wedges.

Whenever my golf game starts to deteriorate and I lose it....out come the 1948 Spaulding Bobby Jones stainless blades and the K28 woods and the Cash In putter. I play 18 and swing is fixed.

Hulk Hogan sounds like a great golfer !

Great stuff!

Epic clues!!

John Erickson is at or near the top of the golf instruction I watch.

Great content. Just out of curiosity, who in the modern era would be considered a true hitter?

thanks for sharing, i'm glad someone shared this online...good stuff...keep it up!

really enjoyed this. I started off playing and read 5 Fundamentals of M Golf. I continued to hit a push. Then found Jim Hardy and Milo lines. I got to a -8 but stuck now.

Great episode. Looking forward to the next episode.

Great job guys! Interested in hearing about William's golfing and ABS journey.

Unbelievable GEMS! Earn you way to a front ball position - no wonder i pull hook my mid irons under pressure! ty vm

Great podcast, and looking forward to the next one! Thanks

Hip depth is a concern @John.erickson on the downswing.

Agree with the tech to a point. I played Wilson Staff button back irons, Toney Penna or Cleveland TC15 drivers. Hit 5 iron around 190. Driver in the 280-290 range. That was in the 80s. Played with Ted Tryba and Gary Nicklaus in college. After turning pro played behind Strange at Kahkwa Club in Erie PA and Strange hit Driver long iron wedge where I hit driver 8 iron into the par 5 fourth. Hitting a J driver. Now I’m hitting my Titleist 2 iron 280 with today’s tech. But at the same time I’m 6’4” 220 and had a 38” vertical kind of like DJ. So people are just way bigger than Hogan who weighed 137. So it is both tech but also athleticism. Tiger and players of today’s era are just so much bigger. But Hogan had the best technique bar none. He was just tiny like Pavin.

Hi John. I have always wondered if the whipping on Driver's and Fairway Woods of this era is just purely cosmetic? For your builds - could you skip that step and just paint over the unwhipped hosel with a gloss black paint? Great work on that Driver. I would bet your student is loving that thing! Form, Function, and Beauty all wrapped-up in nice little custom/handmade package. Your student may ask to be buried with that thing. I know I probably would. Great video too. Thanks for all your efforts to put thoughtful and interesting content. jdp

Best instruction ever. Wish you well. I’ve watched this video several times. I wish I lived in the area, so I could take a few lessons to be a hitter. I’ve been playing 55 plus years, but I still feel like I could improve with your help. I hit a lot of greens in regulation to the point, my short games is just ok and putting needs a lot of work. Perhaps, I will work on that when I retire. All the best John. 🇨🇦💝🇺🇸🤷‍♂️

How much does the concept of bowing to the 4:30 line have to do with the driver swing versus short irons and wedges?

I was giving online lessons in the late 90s. Video overlay of a biomechanics computer model. You are a funny guy the things that come out of your mouth.

Watched again after 7 months. . . I realized that it is always 4:30 somewhere.

Do modern golf balls work well with old persimmon drivers and woods?

Bryson hit a persimmon and got 182 ballspeed....with a modern ball. Sooooo I dont think Persimmon is that far behind modern drivers as Bryson gets 190 without a long drive club.

Shaft perpendicular to the spine is music to my ears. Went round and round with Martin Ayers on that subject (who is steep coming down and flattens late which raises the handle during impact via a force on the shaft based on where the club head is at the top, not laid off after transition).

Interesting your jazz influence (drums). I used to teach Harvey Mason while I was a lead instructor at CompuSport. but he was more than a student, but a friend. Saw some great Fourplay concerts back in the day.
