[@charlie7577]

Todd thanks for helping us seniors watched a lot of your great videos! Love the vertical line for us 70 plus seniors!

[@USGOLFTVshow]

We got you covered Bud! Have you seen our book? Here is the link if you are interested www.badliegolfbook.com/

[@jaysutphin2077]

I'm 62 and been playing for 50 years,,, These are really EXCELLENT tips to help get more length on the backswing and more clubhead speed to be able to keep hitting the ball good solid distances. Thanks so much!

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Thanks Jay! What other topics would you like to see us cover?

[@alangoudie2299]

Some really helpful tips that are easy to do. Excellent advice geared to the golfer over 40 years old. I am 78 & know that this advice definitely helps me. Many thanks Todd.

Our pleasure! What other topics would you like to see us cover?

[@alangoudie2299]

Varying where you grip the driver grip so you can hit high drives to different distances. On a short par 3 over a pond my fairway woods often do NOT get the height to clear the water & then land on the green. Possibly other things to adjust beside lowering the hands on the grip. It could make a different video to the normal ones. Thank you for your help.

[@steveebert7841]

I like the more vertical back swing, puts you in a position for a faster and easier down swing.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

@@steveebert7841 you speak the truth! We cover the entire system in our book. See here www.badliegolfbook.com/

Just turned 70 and have struggled with consistency most of my golfing life. I'm especially enjoying your tips for experienced players. Still trying to improve every aspect of the game and you're helping. Thanks

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Barry, you got it. Here is our full program if interested www.verticallinegolf.com/landing-page1620850340667

[@8SheldonS8]

I'm in my 50s and just started golfing. Wish I had started it earlier, I really enjoy it. What would be some tips that might be specific for older golfers that didn't play in their 20s or ever before?

[@mudshark412]

Thank You as far as a tip from me I recommend a flask of good whisky for 3 reasons 1 you can share it with your friends 2 you can celebrate your good shots (if they happen) 3 it will console you on your bad shots, adjust the size of the flask accordingly

[@johnnicky1312]

Thanks for the senior tips. Where do you recommend taking the 3 set swings (behind ball, side, over the ball). Swinging above the ball seems to reduce tension in the real swing for me.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Good question, we prefer them to be back behind the ball. Once we address or come close to the ball it is time to start focusing on performance and the target. Have you seen our book, The Bad Lie? We cover this and much more vlsgolf.com/

[@edhaggerty4798]

Great lesson! I have a problem with coming out of my stance. Do you recommend keeping your trail heel down until after impact

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Yes and no. Really depends on your flexibility. Focus more on your eye line and maintaining a consistent view...this will help.

[@Stausu]

I like the idea of getting my hands higher. Plus opening my feet up a little bit.

[@PJG1710]

THANKS...this is a big help to my previous post where you talk about hitting it 37yds longer. Having said that if your swing speed is 80..how do I improve that?

[@TonyDiSarro]

Thanks for these tips. They all resonated with me and I’m going to put them into my practice routine today. Clearly explained and visually you nailed it. 🌟👍🏼

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Thank Tony! Appreciate the kind words. Do us a favor and tell a friend about USGolfTV. 👊

[@grecopena]

Todd Lanny fm Wyo I loved ur video to hit high draw. I dont undwrstand ur bonus tip where butt end of club on follow thru pointed at a certain point ahead & across of ur teed up ball. Could u further explain that. I cant wait for weather to warm up so I can do these 3 things to hit high draw. Sorry this is so long.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Lanny, thanks for the kind words. Basically you want the handle to finish high and for the arms to be rotated over, bottom hand over top hand. This combination will help you create an inside to out path with a square to closed clubface. End result: high draw!

[@mikes659]

I've tried bringing the lead arm up higher, but I'm coming in steep to the ball hitting a lot of fat shots. Any idea why. Thanks another. Great Channel

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Need to add the hip and body turn to give you the around motion. The combo of these two is the KEY.

[@golflre7179]

Good tips, thanks

[@edhaggerty4798]

Todd, I have been a slicer for 20 years. I subscribed to your vertical line swing program and have done the transition drills but I still slice. Is there one drill that I should focus on to eliminate my slice.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Ed, thanks for your purchase and joining our VLS family. Hope you are learning and enjoying the information. Here is a good drill to help, it is an oldie but works well kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6nPq5JrnaaDqq8

[@krisl9454]

44 currently and my swing speed is just as good as in my 20s … some people think everyone gets to 40 and become immobile … all about how you look after yourself and genetics of course

[@davidweinstein2620]

Hi Todd. I am one of your adepts. The Vertical swing is great. But I do have a question that comes out of swinging the way you instruct. I find that I hit a lot of fat shots, as I come vertically down, instead of sweeping, as I’ve been doing with a more horizontal swing. How do I correct it?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

David, thanks for the question. Two areas, make sure you are getting a full hip turn in the backswing and your weight forward on the finish. These are the first two areas I look at when addressing fat shots. Do you have my book, The Bad Lie? This is where I cover the entire system www.badliegolfbook.com/

[@vincentchung1000]

How do I release? I often pull left or my ball will curve to the right. Please help

[@idpaopl]

this and your book "The Bad Lie" is great

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Thank you John! If you have note, please leave us a review on Amazon...would be greatly appreciated.

[@davidharley1070]

To increase your Flexibility I strongly recommend taking yoga classes. Many golf exercises I have seen are simply take offs or variations of basic yoga stretches. I started taking yoga classes about 15 years ago for the sole purpose of increasing my flexibility for golf. I am 73 and a 90s golfer with drives averaging 210 to 220 yds

[@charlesherceg-rg4bg]

How do I reach you to ask you a question about the driver that you promote?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Hi Charles, you can reach out to [e-mail] to ask us a question!

[@jerryfredericksen3428]

I am a 66 yrs. old male. I have widened my stance, flared my feet out, and am learning to take a higher and longer swing using my left ( or forward arm) which is giving me more power and more distance as you described. The problem is I am pull hooking my iron shots and can't seem to control the club face. I can sometimes hit a nice little draw but I don't know where the club face is at impact and sometimes I hit a nice straight shot to the right. HELP!!!

[@jerryfredericksen3428]

Thanks for answering my question. I will look somewhere else.

[@arielluna4399]

👍👍👍👏

[@michaelclifton7710]

Am 55 and practice with wedges and and own every chipper ever made, including MUL, just to practice from 100 yards in and as well as even manipulation of chippers but flex and ball speed is qayyyyyy down

[@owenfavro2290]

taking a hint from Don Trahan I see - Keep It Vertical

[@paulchesney1798]

So it will cause my swing to be a bit more upright,...correct

[@USGOLFTVshow]

You got it, and with that your swing will naturally get a little longer adding more distance. 👊

[@jimt.1507]

​@@USGOLFTVshow Todd, I bought the Hummingbird 70/58 set. I'm having a hard time hitting them. Shots keep going right. I was refered to look at the vidios about the clubs but they give no instructions. Do you have any videos that acturally shows you how use those clubs to get good shots? If I can't figure it out I will need to send back the clubs. Any help would be appreicated.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

@@jimt.1507 are they high and right?

[@patrickursomanno8861]

I'm 55 n didn't play in my 20'z. Now what ?😵. Can I use my 40'z ? 🙀😹👍🍻
