[@jpa_fasty3997]

That was absolutely outstanding, wtf. The depth of knowledge and the understanding of how every change will impact the swing is completely remarkable. Wow.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Appreciate it!

[@allanhernandez25]

You can hear the enthusiasm and energy Sir Nick has for the game and teaching. This really brought a smile to my face listening to this lesson. Can this be a regular segment?

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks Allan! That would be fun!

[@fwhites]

In my opinion Faldo was an absolute machine in his playing days so to hear him talk through it all in this video is just golden! Thanks!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Agreed!!

[@user-xs1tl3oe9v]

machine without launch monitors!

[@christiankrause3748]

Sir Faldo is a real Dude!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

100%

[@ayatollahofroknrollah5589]

Sir Nick deserves all the respect. The excitement he shared with the internet is simply legendary.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks for watching!

[@PMMeiners]

Wow 🤩… this lesson was fabulous. You can see that Sir Nick loves to teach young kids the game of golf. ⛳️ Just amazing how much knowledge he has brought to this student in just half an hour. ❤

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thank you!!

[@121music4life]

What a privilege that young man has being coached by Sir Nick

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

100%!!

[@sbrenden]

Sir Nick talking about golf is like Mark Knopfler talking about guitars. Artists at work. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:)

[@The-OC]

1000% yes..!!

[@alanking5001]

One of the most practical golf instruction videos I've ever seen , thankyou eric . There's a rrason he was world No.1 for ages and won 6 majors

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

for sure!!

[@Jhjgolf]

Sir Nick is the best , imagine having a whole day at the range with Sir Nick, always will be in our Hearts ,🙏⛳ 🇬🇧

[@ggmorris71]

Legend. Sir Nick forgot more golf than most will ever know.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

100%

[@davidgraham8058]

He started playing when he was 14 and he was a scratch player a year later. A year after that he qualified for the English Amateur Champs. Then a year after that, he won the English Amateur. Pure natural talent.

[@wreckim]

I remember Eric, when he first started on youtube, and he would answer all our questions and respond to almost every post. Now he's with Nick Faldo giving lessons etc...proving just how persistence and hard work are at the center of all our goals. Congratulations with all your success Eric. Obviously a big thanks to Sir Nick....probably one of my top favs of all time....and good luck to that young man, he's got a great swing.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Really appreciate that :) -Eric

[@mikhailg74]

There is a reason Sir Faldo is a Master. I watched him back in 90s and it was beautiful thing to watch.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

For sure!!

[@mpsymonds1]

Faldo talks about just giving it another few seconds to hopefully pick the right club. If you watch him versus Norman on the 13th ‘ 96 Masters, final round, for me the most intense piece of golf tv you will see, you watch that advice in action. The crowd sighing because he went back to his bag to grab another club. They felt it also. The whole 18 holes was an epic watch.

[@christopherfranklin972]

One of the greatest rounds of championship golf ever televised.

[@davidreid2301]

I started playing golf again last January after a 33 year hiatus. Needless to say, KZbin has been priceless to remind me of the basics, and beyond. I've watched hundreds of videos on here, but this is probably the best and most valuable lesson on the internet! Sir Nick, Seve, Greg Norman, Jack Nicholas and all of those '70s and '80s greats were what I grew up with, so it's great to see him still having a huge influence on the up and coming golfers of today. Great stuff! Thank you so much for making the video!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Love that David! Our pleasure!

[@Dan-zq5wt]

Sir Nick and Padraig Harrington are the best golf instructors on the Tube! Plus they just seem like great guys.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:)

[@cgvagf]

That is so funny that he was talking about scraping the ground on the initial takeaway, I did that the last time I played and I was blasting everything like never before, just booming 3 woods and great long irons, YES, long irons my friends.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Love that :)

[@Pud56]

This is broken down so simply, its genius and I’ve never seen this taught that way before

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thank you!

[@billyburroo]

20 mins with sir nick has just given nico a life time of experience of someone that knows what it takes to play golf at the major level, make sure nico u keep a copy of this and watch it when things don't go great and also when things work, there's a synergy in nick and nico

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

100%!

[@GJTaylor]

Absolutely loved this video. Nick Faldo is a legend, he knows so much about the swing. Get him on again !

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

100%

[@wesleyedwards4324]

Sir Nick is talking so many levels into actual playing thought with the drill instead of just talk, love it!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Yes!!

[@french0076]

This is sick! Live lesson feels like I’m in the studio!

[@marnew1000]

Simply brilliant…

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thank you!!

[@scott21784]

man I was shaping my stance to draw and fade before watching this. 10 o clock 2 o clock really made it easy. thanks

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Love it Scott!!

[@andreaechevarria6725]

I am always surprised how big Sir Nick is compared to regular golfers. As his six majors attest, he must have been a beast in his day.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:)

[@Dan-zq5wt]

I have the same issue as this young man. I tend to flip and pull hook. Sir Nick’s grip adjustment and then the “10 and 2” finish were gold!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Hope they help!!

[@irishcarlcyclone]

Sir Nick Faldo is pure class. Great lesson Gentlemen!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thank you!!

[@andrewbetts217]

Just a brilliant golf mind. Thanks for posting this lesson.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Our pleasure Andrew!

[@peterhammer6915]

Incredible lesson. Of the highest possible level.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks Peter!

[@397jollyroger]

Getting coaching in sports and in life works. Nick Faldo for golf, you couldn’t ask for more. He sees the details and refined adjustments for this advanced player. The golf swing monitor and tracer technology technology sure helps too. I like Nick’s coaching for the journey as how to handle competition. The path of improvement in small increments and corrections.Thanks for posting.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Appreciate that!! Our pleasure!

[@willybla1]

Jiménez may be the mechanic, but Faldo is the machine.

[@smcg112]

Best tip is when Nick talks just listen...there is so much he explains without it being over complicated. Great to see his instruction and the change it makes

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:)

[@jonathanstevens2937]

Sir NIck is a LEGEND. Amazing. I would kill for a lesson from him!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

[@stanleychan6428]

Sir Nick is a real master👍

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

[@alvermeil5884]

What a great video. His explanation on how to hit a draw and fade was good

[@noworriesman]

I've loved Nick Faldo since I discovered golf. So amazing to get in the mind of a great. Super simple setting thoughts that are beyond effective. Why can't instruction be this easy? Eric you're great too and getting ideas from minds like this give you super ultra master knowledge!

[@s.b.9059]

He is a Legend

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Absolutely!

[@joekeefe3229]

That was priceless, maybe the simplest best advice I’ve ever heard

[@robo265]

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks Mark!

[@davidvesseur]

Whenever Nick explains the golf swing, it's so simple and logical. He doesn't over complicate anything. Just really straight forward knowledge that has earned him millions. Love it.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Agreed!! Thanks for watching David!

[@PirateRemy]

Ironically his guru leadbetter was known for complicating it .. Look for Ben Hogan on Ed Sullivan show.....he has a very uncomplicated drill

[@ferg_life3841]

I could watch nick Falcons give lessons til the end of time. Genius!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thank you!

[@Baz303]

Was he as good as Nick Faldo

[@davidkavanagh8932]

Wow, truly exceptional information, thank you

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

You got it David! Thanks for being here with us!

[@ivanbaric4017]

Sir Nick, respect to this great man. When you know, you know.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

[@jaydanyloo]

Excellent! It’s like a bedtime story with sir nick!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Lol yes!

[@bluejeans8001]

That was extremely fascinating watching Sir Faldo identify and change the young man’s ball flight.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Fun to watch for sure!!

[@neilbelcher3577]

Great great wisdom from Nick the legend especially love when he demonstrates standing in front of student and has green face from projector The incredible Nick!!😅😅

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks Neil!

[@justeeoff]

Sir Nick is the best , i could listen to him all day….would love a lesson with him 💭

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Agreed :)

[@epz1111]

This was awesome! Sir Nick is a true legend and really knows golf! And for the player also to just knock off every shot like he did, true talent! With the right coaching and mindfullness he can go far! Thanks for the video!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Appreciate the kind words and feedback!!

[@1DCCX]

He’s so right about fear and rotation/finish position and aim. Who’s have thought it from a 6x legend

[@richyclubsport5155]

One of my treasured memories, having my photo taken with Sir Nick at Woburn in the 80s and his autograph on the program, yes i still have both

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Love that!

[@POC88]

British legend Sir Nick, such a competitor

[@djrondo1224]

Faldo is a great teacher because he worked his tail off and gained all the knowledge first hand. This was as good as you can get on KZbin university!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

absolutely! Thank you!

[@fredmcmichael5727]

Great job. I love how you let Sir Nick do the instructing without interrupting!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks Fred :)

[@winston9971]

Brilliant. Nick is doing great things with the young players. He loves it you can see it

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Yes!!

[@tourstriker]

What an awesome experience! Good luck, Nico! You have an awesome swing.

[@Blue_Dun]

Wow. That you could land Faldo for a KZbin lesson is impressive to say the least. Puts you and your channel on a whole new level for me as a huge Faldo fan. Not to mention this was some great, insightful stuff.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thank you!!

[@darrencope1]

Love Faldo, everyone used to say he was so technical but their was so much feel

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

100%!

[@Aubnormal]

SNF has a great way to approach instruction. Keeps the feelings simple, without filling your head with too many checkpoints. Thanks for the video Eric and thanks to Nick for all the helpful information!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Appreciate it!

[@MatthewRoughton-zw8rt]

Amazing to see Sir Nick share his thoughts, best prior to Tiger! Legend!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:)

[@johnh3]

Have been a huge fan of SNF all of my life. This instructional and your interview with him was outstanding. Now a big fan of your channel. Stay grounded and keep up the good work.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Appreciate it John!

[@mikewilliams1479]

Nico swing tempo is amazing. His takeaway drill be interesting. Must try 😊

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

For sure!!

[@nickallen817]

Some of the best feel ideas I’ve ever heard. Saved this video to come back to it in a few months

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

thanks Nick!

[@patricksweeney6400]

Loved watching him and listening to him a true legend 👍

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks Patrick!

[@iswhatits]

interesting to see how new school and old school are at play here. Before tech it was all feel. Now with tech you can see what actually is working and then it shows how feel vs real isn't the same. Faldo was a master at his craft. However with tech some of his ideas are feel but not whats real. I think this is super cool to watch. It also shows you how you can get to technical and lose a lot of feel which would make you worst. Golf, got to love it right.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Great points!

[@wks4511]

Great job, I could listen to Sir Nick all day.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Same :)

[@guyhall6592]

Sir Nick, My coach altered my swing to mimic your swing a few decades ago…’92 Finding this video has made my week. I’m off to Rickie’s practice facility Thank you!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Glad you enjoyed!!

[@count1958]

Gosh, it looks sooo easy. Perfect, Sir Nick.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:)

[@grahamkutner-simon8272]

Jesus… Nick is just brilliant! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Agreed :)

[@markcrisp]

Great to watch and listen to Sir Nick and what a lucky student.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

For sure Mark--agreed!

[@geoffredrup9616]

Wow. What an experience for the young lad. One he will never forget, whatever the furture holds for him. Sir Nick is always so interesting to listen to.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

100%

[@dougellio7000]

Watched him on the range at Royal St George, incredible ability to control ball flight. Class and so knowledgeable

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Love it!

[@simonh162]

That was inspiring. Sir Nick has always been my hero since I was little. To watch the simple practical tips, easy explanations with great results is brilliant!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Love to hear that Simon--appreciate ya!

[@michaelnadeau9748]

Master class

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Yes! :)

[@snkgn]

This was a light bulb moment for me. I had to try the 10 & 2 on the clock face drill this evening at the range. Its so easy!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Love it!!

[@Mjwest23]

I can shot shape but I'm pretty similar to this college player's challenges. Love the visual of the 2 o'clock for the small fade

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Hope this one helps ya!!

[@hansidelk6604]

Pretty cool how Nick immidiately goes into "playing golf" and not just golfswings.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Yes!

[@The-OC]

What a fantastic video..!!! Sir Nick has been my golfing idol since the 90's, Eric C is a very well respected modern coach with such a clear and easy to follow teaching method, the young lad couldn't have been in better hands, he sucked in what Nick was teaching him and applied it to his swing within minutes, the 2 o'clock 10 o'clock thumb finish positions were/are absolute gold, especially combined with the distance control story from the 12th at Augusta. All in all a top class top quality video. Bravo Gentlemen bravo. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Appreciate those kind words and your support! -Eric

[@The-OC]

@@PerformanceGolfZone you're very welcome, thank you for the great content Eric 👌🏽

[@golfinggeordie7203]

Nicks simple explanation is great...Love the content...well done...

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thank you!

[@ubute]

Sir Nick's wonderful analytic mind. Kids a good listener, took it all in.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Definitely!

[@nightwolf2666]

How the hell did u get Sr. Nick on your channel? It's like listening to James Bond give golf lessons....such a class act.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Haha he's one of the best for sure!

[@michaelzigler7054]

Awesome session and exhibition from a Master Champ.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Appreciate it Michael!

[@vansonguitars8981]

Great lesson, thanks Nick and Eric.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thank you!!

[@Alan-75]

Have exactly the same problems as nico, this video has told me why and how to fix them, thanks to the legend that is sir nick faldo.👍👍👍

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

You got it!!

[@Whatzzzz999]

Faldo. What a star.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

No doubt!

[@rowdyroddy519]

Release Pattern is very important. The intention of which way you are releasing the club sets things up to move correctly for that shot. I see players all the time trying to hit draws with a fade release pattern, and visa versa, and they mess up their swings, trying all kinds of band aid fixes, but not change their release pattern. This Release Pattern concept can also be done to produce a straight shot as well. as it will be in between the other two release patterns. That one you have to work a little harder to master, but it can be done. A lot more attention should be given by players and teachers to this aspect.

[@dsc-nr5zy]

Gold standard is draw transition with fade release imo. Nothing but little controlled 2 yard pull cuts.

[@SteveOpp1]

Could not possibly be more impressed by Sir Nick! Thank you for creating this video.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks Steve!

[@cluman1]

More Faldo please

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:)

[@wdc503]

And here i was wondering why i can not hit a draw. Tinkering with the backswing all the time when the answer lies in the follow thru. Game changing info in such a short video. Back to the drawing board.... Again. Cant wait. Thanks for this Eric and Sir Nick. Appreciate you.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Our pleasure----thanks for being here--hope this helps ya!

[@lynseybell811]

Such a great video. I’d love to see a little more on his grip recommendation. Great student as well he really picked that up quickly.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thank you!

[@huntergillies1627]

Loved listening to this. Instruction through experience!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Definitely! Thanks for watching!

[@jamesmantle7988]

Brilliant stuff, just shows how important it is to associate a shot shape with a swing feeling , not just trying to make your swing look a certain way

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Yes!

[@joeboyle6728]

Outstanding video! More of the same please 🙏

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks Joe!

[@briley8288]
