2 Days With Tiger Woods Coach Changed EVERYTHING

[@claybell3430]

Does Shawn/Sean see everything in slow motion? What he was able to spot just by looking was amazing, and his knowledge......second to none, brilliance! Thank you for taking us with you Brandon!

[@NewNineGolf]

I can’t speak for him but I think he’s so used to seeing the swings of the best players in the world that when he sees amateur swings, it’s like child’s play. Something so basic was my biggest fix and all the little extras tips/changes made perfect sense. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@claybell3430]

@NewNineGolf yeah. I'm going to take the alignment lesson and the backswing/reach lesson and try myself. Thank you again.

[@Benjaames]

People get really worked up about Sean but I swear my golf game got better like night and day just by following what he instructs.. Killer video man.. So jealous you got to hang with him 😂😂 The alignment tips at the start are genius!!! Definitely going to start doing this..

[@NewNineGolf]

Haha ya totally. He definitely knows his stuff. The alignment tip is a game changer. Good luck and would love to hear your progress. 🍻

[@richiedeez]

Thank you to both of you guys. For sharing this content and for Shan Foley to allow you to video tape and share this information! Much appreciated

[@NewNineGolf]

Thanks for watching and the comment. Appreciate it. 🍻

[@geoffredrup9616]

Brilliant video, Brandon. Some great quotes from Sean in there. I'm always aiming right of target and that tip to continue to look at the target as you position your feet is pure gold.

[@NewNineGolf]

Thanks Geoff! Glad you enjoyed it. Ya the alignment routine is a game changer. So easy to implement too. 🍻

[@garthsampson2988]

Awesome video. One to download and save for sure. Thanks Brandon.

[@NewNineGolf]

Glad you liked it! More instructional videos from this golf school dropping soon.

[@garthsampson2988]

@ Nice. I’m a 3 handicap and live in High River so it’s good to see a fellow Albertan keeping up with good golf content during the winter. Keep up the good work. 👍

[@mikehenke9963]

Great video! Love how he worked with skills you have rather then just trying to change everything! Almost like adjusting the soft skills of golf through repetition, rhythm, and tempo! Everyone is different and capable of improving their game, its finding out where those strokes come from!

[@GolfQuestChannel]

How does this video only have 30k views? So much good stuff going on in this one. Nice job.

[@NewNineGolf]

Thank you! Appreciate you.

[@jack-hq7gr]

Shawn in my opinion is well informed from years of learning and adapting. Seems so much information and trying to condense that into a moment or swing segment is challenging. He knows 200 ways to do “something”. The wisdom is there,, how does one tap into it… Can get lost in the messaging??? Set up tips and “ getting taller” was helpful for me….😊

[@NewNineGolf]

Ya there was hours and hours of footage and information and I tried my best to keep the "most important" stuff. And I'm sure that was just the tip of the iceberg. He did a really good job of helping us understand what was and what wasn't important in each of our golf swing and answering any questions we had. I think he said it best at the end "if we can get you closer to clarity, you' re going to play better golf" I'm glad those tips were helpful. Ya the setup is huge. Going to working on that all winter. haha.

[@jack-hq7gr]

Thanks best of luck to you, really enjoyed the video. Heard a professional athlete today on a show and was asked, “what makes a good coach”. He said- “someone who teaches you to be better at your craft in a way that doesn’t confuse you or complicate the process”- I suspect good golf coaches figure this part out.. or become onetrick/ tip advocates …bet you would appreciate John TATTERSAL/his concepts and teaching…

[@colinlavender263]

Awesome video Brandon!! I learned a lot.

[@NewNineGolf]

Thanks Colin!

[@erniestarkey8856]

I am going to use that alignment set up. That is a great instruction tip. Great video.

[@NewNineGolf]

Thank you. Glad you found it helpful. 🍻

[@erniestarkey8856]

@@NewNineGolf update. I used that alignment today at Crooked Cat in Orlando, 2 over par from black tees. Great video and this was help I needed. Thanks.

[@NewNineGolf]

That's awesome! So happy to hear. 👏👏

That alignment tip is golden!

Would love to have some lessons from Sean. Love how hyper and passionate he is.

[@CrisHansen-ig5wv]

As mentioned several very interesting take aways and advice. Will definitely use the alignment as I’m usually pointing way right.

[@NewNineGolf]

Nice! It sounds so basic but it helped me a ton! I hope it helps you also.

I always pick up something from Sean. Good video.

[@NewNineGolf]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@steveperry1344]

that was a good lesson and fun to watch. so you had a decent action going in and he worked on your alignment and your take away backswing and thoughtful insight to get you more on track. my arms go inside too much when i turn back so i'm gonna work on that too. i really got something out of it too and having a top notch instructor helps. i've only had a few lessons in my life but never got a lot out of them because the teachers weren't that good. either you are really tall or sean is really short in stature. thnx.

[@NewNineGolf]

Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Just wait until you see the short game lesson I did with his assistant coach! Haha I’m 6’3 for reference

[@slytown]

Foley is so good. Keep doing what he asks and you will see improvements. I agree you were too under the plane and bending towards the ball. Tiger used to suffer a similar thing and would fix it by doing a pre-shot routine swinging OTT.

[@KetzalSterling]

If you haven't already, you need to do a video with Scott Fawcett from Decade golf. Just based on some of your responses. There's a ton of gains you could make by simplifying your approach to playing.

[@NewNineGolf]

Just watched some of his videos on IG. Good stuff. Hopefully can collab with him in the future. Thanks for the recommendation. 🍻

[@LawrenceDever]

Simple things like alignment can go a long way

[@ranmangolf]

So in Foley's downswing sequence, it is my understanding that it starts with a pressure shift from the back leg to the front leg, followed by a rotary hip turn. What does the arms do? Are they passive or does he advocate moving the arms down and front with a motor control?

[@NewNineGolf]

We didn't discuss sequencing with my swing but I know he mentioned that your backswing dictates how your arms move. Its definitely not passive as he talks about how your arms are really really important in generating speed. There's a lot more footage I'm going through so if I come across anything relating to your question. Ill be sure to include it in the upcoming videos. (I plan on releasing seperate full swing, short game and putting videos of me working with his coaches)

[@ranmangolf]

@@NewNineGolf Thanks for the reply and I'll look forward to more videos. I guess what I'm trying to figure out is whether or not to pull the club handle down with the arms in addition to the body movements.

[@LawrenceDever]

Also interesting info when it comes to scoring on par 3’s and distance

[@NewNineGolf]

Right?!

[@sidtaubman6007]

When you raise up in the backswing, do u have issues on the downswing? Topping the ball?

[@NewNineGolf]

No I wasn’t topping any balls

[@gord-k7g]

Did he use the ProSender in his teaching? I am using it and it’s amazing.

[@NewNineGolf]

Ya he used it with a few other students. That's awesome. Glad it's working for you.

[@steveregotti8542]

Sean foley really knows what he’s talking about!!!!! Very good instruction????

[@NewNineGolf]

Ya really good. He has a good team around him. We have alot more footage so we are going to be dropping short game, putting and full swing lesson videos in the coming weeks.

[@billsimard4317]

GREAT Informative Video 🤙 Learned a lot from this ! I’m probably in the same boat as you as far as wanting to be more Consistent ! #Roadtoscratch

[@NewNineGolf]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Scratch in no time. You got this. 👊

[@DerhythM]

May i ask whats his explanation on “when you over draw it feels more solid off the face”? Thats what im getting also. Thank you!

[@NewNineGolf]

An overdraw feels good because it usually comes from hitting the ball near the sweet spot, making the club feel solid and smooth. The swing path and slightly closed face help compress the ball and keep the club stable through impact. The ball flies strong and controlled, which feels satisfying and powerful, even when you over hook it.

[@JoeflashJG]

Good stuff 😎

[@NewNineGolf]

Thanks Joe 🍻

[@MFSINPSA]

Is this at Shingle Creek? Or what course is it.

[@NewNineGolf]

Yes

[@sidtaubman6007]

Did you work on your driver swing?

[@NewNineGolf]

Yes. We are publishing a longer full swing video from the golf school in the coming weeks.

[@JessicaEgge]

Sean says "So as we talk about the hips, the body, & the the turn.....that angle is so important in being able to do the rest of that up the chain." When he says that angle is he talking about how to get off your right side properly? (like a baseball pitcher)

[@NewNineGolf]

He was referring to how tour pros have freaky mobility and strength in their ankles and their wrist. And how importantly it is to activate the different muscle groups that support the whole sequence. Sorry there was a lot of footage so I had to cut stuff out. Hope it makes sense. I always wondered why every golf performance instructor I've been to made me do wrist and ankle exercises and stretches. This kinda substantiated for me.

[@JessicaEgge]

@@NewNineGolf Thank you! It was great video!

[@russellmagsanide]

Foley will forever be remembered as, The Coach Who Broke Tiger's Back."

[@NewNineGolf]

Tiger himself has never blamed Foley for his injuries. He has often attributed his back issues to years of wear and tear from his intense training regimen and playing golf at a high level since childhood.

[@NewNineGolf]

Justin Rose says he had back injuries since he was a teenager. I don't know. Lol fun to blame Sean online I guess.

[@jameskinzer5791]

People also forget the ridiculous swing speed and torque tiger had. He was the fastest in the tour at the time in the 90s. If you think that years of that wasn’t going to put wear and tear on his back you’re naive.

[@Benaaron3]

SOS! This video was so amazing but ever since watching it I have been shanking relentlessly! I have the prosndr and can’t stop shanking my pitch shots! Can anyone explain??

[@NewNineGolf]

Try keeping your chest down thru impact or the feeling of your hitting the ball with your chest and rotating through. Mostly likely doing the new moves, your disconnecting your arms and/or losing your posture. Just a guess without seeing your swing. Lmk if that helps.

[@Benaaron3]

@ thanks so much! I’ll try that tomorrow!

[@Benaaron3]

No luck so far lol

[@Longarmshortarm]

“What’s making the ball start, clubface”- I thought clubface is where the ball ends up and path dictates start line? Thats how Tiger, morikawa, Homa all shape shots 🤨

[@NewNineGolf]

Technically the face has a bigger impact on where the ball starts. When Tiger and Morikawa explains how they shape it, it's more of a feel they're explaining and really dumbing down the relationship between the clubface and path when shaping the ball. Also they're not struggling with alignment. Sean was moreso trying to explain the face is where the ball starts for alignment on a neutral shot. Ie, Don't aim the feet, aim the club face. He's trying to dumb it down for people coming over or have trouble aligning and manipulating the swing. Both are correct, it's just you have to get the basics right before you can start shaping shops consistently.

[@Longarmshortarm]

@ I appreciate the explanation man. Makes sense. Thanks

[@Brolicherbs]

26:22 our ancestors primarily ate plant matter and carrion, so they were not really doing much throwing of anything. There's no need to add false mythology that's not backed by archeology.

[@NewNineGolf]

I think you might be missing the point if that's what you got out of this golf lesson video. A quick google search brought me this www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-23061016#:~:text=Early%20humans%20evolved%20to%20throw,allowed%20this%20ability%20to%20develop. humanorigins.si.edu/human-characteristics/tools-food#:~:text=Early%20humans%20butchered%20large%20animals,probably%20on%20a%20regular%20basis. I'm sure there are many different theories and opinions out there. I'm not an expert but I'm sure you can reach out to Sean or the authors of the articles I shared and discuss.

[@RobertJohanssonRBImGuy]

ever wonder why tiger woods broke his back? why he said, cant win majors with sean foley? No?

[@NewNineGolf]

No not really. That's like blaming Butch or Haney on his knee and Achilles injuries. Not into speculation or gossip. So many factors when it come to injuries. Just based on my time with him, he knows his stuff when it comes to the golf swing. 🍻

[@davidsharkey9405]

its golf man.why make it complicated.try taking this to the course.good luck

[@NewNineGolf]

Pretty simple tips really.

[@christiandgreat8127]

Always remember theres areason why hes not their coach anymore.

[@NewNineGolf]

Always remember Foley's students under him have 35 PGA Tour wins, 2 majors, Olympic medals, World #1 status, LPGA wins and he currently still coaches tour players (4 in top 75 OWGR)....

[@christiandgreat8127]

​@@NewNineGolf when it comes to majors, it’s Justin Rose carrying the entire banner. unless you're getting commission for all this hype?

[@NewNineGolf]

Lol I state facts and it’s now commission based? Btw Danny Willett has a Major under Foley... educate yourself first...You could berate any professional coach as it’s a high turn over profession. Bill Belichick is one of the winningist NFL coach and now he’s unemployed. Your dumb comment carry’s no weight 😂

[@christiandgreat8127]

@ comparing him with Bill, means you don’t know what you are talking about. Straight garbage. You should retire and stop this stupid videos

[@Starboi1337]

isnt this the coach who destroyed tigers swing? not hating just asking

[@NewNineGolf]

Tbh I haven't even taken a deep dive into this topic. I've read comments like he ruined the tiger, destroyed his swing etc. But nothing really specific. How I look at it logically is, why would other tour players go to him and have success with him if that was the case? I think those people would have better insight? It seems like alot of it is just repeating an internet narrative. I don't know. I can only tell you from my own experience, he's legit and knows what he's talking about.

[@Starboi1337]

Your wig sir: 🤡

[@kurtheitman552]

He certainly was Tiger’s worst coach. I made the mistake of buying his DVD when it came out and it was pure trash.

[@farfromprogolf2065]

I feel Tiger moved away because he wanted and needed different things. Sean works with what people have. He’s been in the game 30+ years and still has a top talent portfolio for a reason. He’s no nonsense and straight up. Just like any coach - if the approach doesn’t work for you or feel right for you (even if it used to) there’s no law saying you have to stay ..

[@michaelrowe6220]

Tiger ruined himself. Never should’ve moved on from Butch. It’s pretty easy to see, the massive mistake both Tiger and Rory made…they won WAY more before they bulked up. 1997-2008 he won all but one of his majors, then he started his Navy Seal training. Then came the surgeries and the back problems and the injuries. Stopped winning on the regular. Rory followed his footsteps, same results…stopped winning. The same fate is about to happen to Will Zalatoris. Someone need to tell these world class golfers, bulking up is a game wrecker.🙄
