The Pro Setup

I watch many of your videos and have learned a lot. And I'm 66 and have golfed most my life. Never took a lesson. But was a par golfer when younger. Now though after trying to get back into it the last 8 years I have noticed I lost that ability I used to have . One is of course lack of strength and agility. But have noticed if I set up with my pelvis turned a bit to the right which also drops my right foot back a bit. I can turn back much easier and gain a lot more yards and accuracy is spot on. This also of course puts a bit more weight on the left foot at address.

Love this Gator, great little preset to give you a little mechanical advantage. Glad it’s working out my friend and thanks so much for sharing! Best wishes Stu 😊

[@grahamjones7371]

OK im a self taught 5 hcp and think im similar to your set up ideas ie i have the ball forward But b4 starting golf @ 50 1i was reasonably good at other sports 2 i have worked hard on golf related coordination skill drills hardly anybody does this But every good golfer that ever lived can bounce a ball on a wedge! took me 6 weeks But most golfers especially over 14 hcp dont have the sporting ability or confidence to get to their lead side which is essential with a forward ball position Teaching my new GF yes with a forward ball position But she is a Salsa Dance teacher and ex county squash player!

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks so much Graham!

[@harold4506]

You are an excellent teacher.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

You Sir are a gent. Thank you sincerely.

[@user-xs6ps5io2l]

Saving this video! Went to a fitter who told me I should move the ball back in my stance to help fix my out to in swing…now that I see this his advice was total rubbish…and caused me loads of trouble. Will be placing it back where I had it and where I was being consistent which was slightly more forward. Love these videos! Keep them coming.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thank you my friend, glad it helped gain some closure on some poor advice. Any questions you may have, please let me know. Best wishes Stu 😊

[@stevenewtons7873]

Thanks a million, Stuart.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

My pleasure Steve 😊

[@stevenewtons7873]

​@@GoodGolfCoaching I really like your channel because you are dissecting causes and effects and have a very analytical and structured mind.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

@@stevenewtons7873 bless you my friend, kind feedback and warmly received, thank you. So much to come your way 😊

[@stevenewtons7873]

@@GoodGolfCoaching Talking about good causes and effects, I just discovered today on the range that the impact of the proper pivot in the backswing is huge on the quality of the swing, i.e. there is a domino effect: the rest of the swing takes care of itself.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

If you’re having fun and playing well Steve - that’s the most important part, and you have belief in what you’re applying !

[@dchan328]

Hi Stew, is the club shaft inline with your left arm? Thank you for good golf coaching tips!👍👍👍

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Yes it is Sir.

[@KenKen2023smith]

This is the video I was looking for! I was the one that asked you about a drill to help with my club face alignment. This is what I needed! Thanks🙏🏿

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Fantastic!! So pleased you found what you needed Sir. Do let me know how you get on. 😊

[@KenKen2023smith]

@@GoodGolfCoaching I’m here in the U.S. in Atlanta Ga. I have been up since 4 am here. I have a tee time at Heritage Golf links at 9:45 with some friends. Been watching your videos since I been up. I average a score between 85 to 95. Haven’t played in 13 years up until 3 months ago. I have that itch to play again. I really appreciate your content. I have been watching a lot of channels but you by far is the easiest to understand and follow. Literally deleted the other channels.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Firstly, a hug welcome back to the game Ken, we are in a better place with you than without you Sir. Secondly, you’ll get better with all my content, guaranteed my friend. Make sure you ask questions along the way, will always aim to help where and if I can without seeing your swing. Have a superb game today and let me know how you get on! Best wishes Stu 😊

[@grahammurray6785]

Thats a keeper and the added bits of still having to do the take away and turning away correctly once you set the club on the knee is a great golf thought in a practice routine cheers Stuart

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Great signs Graham - look forward to hearing more progress reports!

[@stevenewtons7873]

Thanks again for your latest video on ball placement and shaft lean. Further to your other videos, could you please elaborate on alignment and aiming. By aiming, without talking about curving the ball, I mean in relation to the flag (left, right, forwards, backwards), and also vertical aiming. Some people like to aim to the ground, others like to aim to the sky, especially to determine the height of the shot and the shoulder tilt but also because they visualise better the shot.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

My pleasure Steve - you’ve covered a lot in those requests, will action over the next few weeks for sure. 😊

[@ianmarshall218]

I've been following your explanation of ball position, in relation to the arc. I've been experimenting with different ball positions, to see how they affect flight. As long as the arc is constant (I sometime throw the right shoulder out!) then a certain amount of consistancy can be expected.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Check my video on “over the top” the right shoulder should move forwards, holding it back is “very” dangerous and will reduce your power.

[@johnhewlett2720]

Appreciate your thoughts on the idea of keeping the ball in one position and adjusting the width of stance for the different clubs?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hey John - I think this compromises your ability to move and use your levers effectively. Wouldn’t advocate that ball position idea. Best wishes Stu.

[@MrPaulbartholomew]

thanks so much Stuart, top coaching as always. would you say there is a reference point we can check each time? shaft pointing to left hip? left belt loop? left arm and shaft in one line?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hi Paul - so difficult to reference when you’re setup, copy my images and you won’t too far wrong Sir. 😊

[@MrPaulbartholomew]

@@GoodGolfCoaching thanks Stuart 🙏🏻👍🏌️‍♂️

[@user_1664]

I really struggle with ball position , if my striking goes a bit off i start closing on the ball to attack it more . Those are terrible sessions . If i keep in mind to centre the ball mid mass at impact i usually have no problem opening up a little which gives me better strikes and flight but i tend to go to far .and im back to the start 😣 Aside from that I have a problem stu , i can really deliver power through the ball with driver from a bit behind the ball but this causes me to fall off sometimes with what i would call a power fade , its long but i cant play for it , its to far right . Is there anyway i can get the face or path sorted but keep that power and speed ?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

I would be completely guessing without seeing your swing my friend. I don’t offer up quick tips, simply guidance to read faults and engage a certain level of understanding. Seek me out on Skillest for a swing analysis. Best wishes Stu 😊

[@patrickbigras5232]

I’m convinced that I have a simple set up problem on hole no1 at my club. I always pull the ball. I play with a fade on all the other holes. It must be because I set up with the ball too much forward. Funny how set up is wrong because of optical illusion on certain tees.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hi Patrick - fabulous insight; I am going to do a video on troublesome tee shots next week, just for you sir. Sounds like you’ve figured out what the cause may be. 🙌🙌

[@MrLondinium]

Hockey. Ball is often played from the rear ankle region and dragged forwards, not struck.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Love it! Hockey is an interesting sport for ball position and stick; pushing is more placement rather than about power 😊

[@roadtoscratchgolf3481]

Another entertaining science lesson. Keep them coming. Cheers.

[@gm_ahmed]

So how does this work for the driver then? We place the ball way out. Shouldn’t the ball be going always to the right??

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

The ball only goes to the right if the club face is open Ahmed; the more up you hit the more the club face will tend to point to the left.

[@gm_ahmed]

@@GoodGolfCoaching so we have to consciously close the face with the driver?

[@tomvaughan9846]

Personally I've always thought this type of 'ball instruction' one-dimensional and not as complete as Ben Hogan's approach which, IMHO is more scientifically correct. It takes in to account the variables (shaft length, shaft direction, and width of stance) and the constants (body size and what should be the ball position with respect to the lead heal)

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hey Tom - thanks so much for the feedback buddy. Ball position is as scientific as much as the access he has to a Trackman or radar device. Angle of attack, pitch of swing, F2P all go in to making the golf ball position choice. If I shared this, nobody would be any wiser. With a bit of luck, with the info I provide on my channel, people will understand what ball position delivers and how it will affect those variables. Your requirements are beyond a video and so too is Ben Hogans book. But I certainly wish you well with using Ben Hogans methodology.
