Doing This At Impact Will Crush The Golf Ball

[@johnrodriquez8447]

Yes, I agree it is difficult to understand new concepts. However, with understanding comes the great wisdom he is trying to give us. A free gift of an elusive swing feel that may actually improve your game... if you give it a chance. May take more than 1 view of the video to understand, but it is worth it. Already improving my game after watching the same video 3 times and practicing indoors before taking it to the course.

Bless you John, thank you so much for your kind messaging. Best wishes Stu.

Pure Gold Stuart Lots of Pros talk about the path, but only that of the club head. I’m guilty of going inside out with high hands and my miss is generally a big block. Also with irons just paying close attention to your divots you will see evidence of this, when the shaft has stood up and the toe has gone in deeper. Really do love this and how you explain it, no one talks about the handle which ultimately impacts on what the club head will do.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks so much Mark, really pleased you enjoyed my friend. Let me know how you get on please 😊

[@IdaGolfo]

Timely video, thanks for this Stu. I saw your short of “is this it?” Where you showed the “feel” of what is happening in the down swing and I realized that I wasn’t getting down enough with my swing. I pushed down, but I think I was standing to high. I’d flush the ball, but my aoa was not good. I have a Mevo plus and took it to the range yesterday…I’m happy to report that after I got the hands down lower, my aoa was much much better. I think many golfers don’t quite understand how low the hands need to get to the ground in the swing..the pressure down isn’t just with the arms and hands, it takes the legs and hands and the entire body to get the shaft and angle correct to hit down on the ball. My exaggerated feel felt like I was going to drag my hands on the ground…but in reality, it just shallowed my swing enough to be able to hit down on the ball through impact. Amazing stuff, thanks Stu!

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Super happy you enjoyed buddy; hope it answered a lot of questions you talked about recently. Enjoy 😊

[@tinnguyen143]

Good stuff. Get yourself a tripod and vid your swing from DTL. You can see where your shaft is at address vs impact to verify. Video doesn’t lie as they say.

[@IdaGolfo]

@@tinnguyen143 thanks. Appreciate the feedback

[@kelvinhicks459]

Another great video. What are your thoughts on lie angles for the golf club. For me this feels like the heal of the club will hit first. The divots look quite even actually. ?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

This video will deliver that feeling, for sure.

[@robertpeacock5515]

You sir just fixed my swing. I have been working on backswing all summer and all the time it was a high handle exit.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

My pleasure Robert! Good luck with the good golf!

[@overover..]

A couple of swings in the back yard and i already know this is the most important golf video I've seen. Years, thousands of videos and wasted frustrating hours... and just like that I exit left, and my swing has gone from looking awful to looking great 👍

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Love to hear it my friend; thank you so much for sharing your insights. Love to hear how you get on further. Best wishes Stu

[@dfranklin72]

This was a brilliant explanation of why I have been shanking the ball so much in recent years. My path has become so much in to out with the high handle doing exactly as you described. I’ve been concentrating on getting the club to exit left with not much success. Can’t wait to give this a try. Keep up the great content.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thank you my friend, glad it shed some light on the heel strikes. Best wishes Stu

[@DavidC-j5b]

Great explanation! This makes so much sense! My old swing was exactly what you describe with all of the "early extension" issues caused by the handle moving low to high. The high to low feeling allows for much more rotation of the body and when you get it right it feels very powerful. Making this swing transition creates very different sensations during the swing. I feel like my upper body should stay "covering" the ball on the backswing and the through swing and that coming through the hitting zone my right shoulder moves out toward the ball as the left hip moves back to create the room necessary for the hands to exit low and left. Do I have it right?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hey David, you have it exactly right my friend. Super happy you enjoyed this video. One of my most enjoyable edits yet. Trying to get a little more creative!

[@DavidC-j5b]

@@GoodGolfCoaching I loved the presentation in this video. You are turning into an entertainer in addition to having great content. Should help you grow your channel.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks David, appreciate your generous feedback. Trying and hoping it can grow into something special.

[@dougellio7000]

That is absolutely Good Coaching 👏. Can having the wrong clubs cause the to down and handle up? Personally, I definitely feel the toe down turning over the majority of the time but what comes first in a bad swing, the managing of the handle resulting in toe down or the early extension? Keep it up Coach

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hey Doug, as mentioned in the video, early extension is the e symptom. 😊

[@benlai5752]

thank you for the video. i am wondering about the cupped left wrist at impact, why the pros all have a bow left wrist at impact.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hey Ben, when you have a handle that’s so light, and a head so heavy it’s impossible to not make the lead wrist flat, doesn’t mean they are trying to make it flat. Hope that helps! 😊

[@benlai5752]

@@GoodGolfCoaching thank you for your reply. For the record I tried the method on the range and on the course. Although I still have not fully understood it fully but I manage to strike the ball really well with with the concept. Is this a new method or all the pro swing this way?

Nothing new for me for me Ben and my understanding. Pictures are stills, and don’t measure energy.

Superb video stuart, very entertaining and my 'cover drive' to an absolute tee. Without a high tee on a box, what can i do to feel this please? Thx again

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks Kieran. No need to hit balls. Just respect the orientation a high tee gives you and practice. 😊

Hi Stu another brilliant video thanks Craig

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

My pleasure Criag, glad you enjoyed.

[@craigmcconnochie4378]

@@GoodGolfCoaching Hi Mate, been watching this and the rotation videos, many times getting a little frustrated on the course not the driving range DR it goes well. I have the strong left grip I have the grip pressure, I am getting the left leg long to pull the right shoulder down, but for some reason I get this dumping of the club into the ground as you demo at 5:34 in this video, (Oh I am short so I am already to close to the ground LOL). I guess a fat but it seems like I doing something that makes me think I have to do that to hit the ball. I know you have to really see my swing because it could many things and you will when I am over. But is their a couple of things I can be mindful of in the short term. I watched the fat shot video but it seems mine is more like your demo in this video my wrist takes off. love your work my friend.

[@mitchelldevereux8404]

First class explanation- hopefully this will sort out my early extension

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks so much Mitchell. Best wishes Stu

[@marktizard7273]

Please correct me if I have misunderstood so what you are saying is there is no down cock of the left wrist into impact, your maintaining downward pressure on the handle while keeping the club head up and rotating it around your body? So the left wrist does not extend into the ball in a downward motion? Thanks in advance

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hey Mark - there absolutely is unload down, you won’t be able to stop it; all I’m advising is as golfers we must not be so submissive of this force.

[@marktizard7273]

@@GoodGolfCoaching if that is the case then at what time do the left wrist extend, at the ball ?or after impact? because your ball elevated drill at no time does your left wrist extend at ball impact and beyond? Hands low club elevated to enable hitting the ball at waist high.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Mark, have you done the drill? Have you applied feels to the ball? I would do this first, it’s not an exact science my friend.

[@marktizard7273]

@@GoodGolfCoaching yes I have done the drill and at the ball, but to keep the same angle at impact you can’t straighten your left wrist because you would dump the club, that’s why I’m asking when do you extend the left wrist? 👍

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

As I say, not an exact science and there is no chance any player in the world can stop their wrists from unloading down. So, manage the angles; measure AoA, Dynamic Loft, curvature and much more to know how much is enough or too much. Hope that helps.

[@garysatterfield7805]

......just what I needed before heading out Stu. 4 man team scramble today. That little move in this video has me hitting the better than I ever have. It's just trying to keep it up under pressure...... thanks ⛳🍺

[@garysatterfield7805]

......well.....1 under is better than 1 over😁... couldn't get my driver working today. Damn Stu.... it's so frustrating flushing my driver on the range and then not bringing it to the golf course. I wish I could blame it on nerves but I can't......oh well, if it was easy it'd be boring........⛳🍺

[@garysatterfield7805]

......well guess what I found this evening at the range. Yep, driver swing......the move that I was just bragging about helping me so much, well, I realize now I was letting the driver head fall and the handle raise up just enough to mess up my driver swing. At least now I can figure out what I'm doing wrong....... thanks Stu ⛳🍺

[@Chris_Traynor]

Absolute corker!!👍🏻

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks Chris - glad you enjoyed.

[@Chris_Traynor]

Also, I just wanted to suggest a video, which I don't think you have done. If you think it unneccessary or not beneficial, then please ignore this. You often talk about the 'pull' and 'swing' phases either in isolation or as part of the whole swing. I would be intereseted to know how best to think of the transition between these two phases; how to conceptualise and feel it. For example, whether (ideally given a good grip thus, looser grip pressure) the swing phase happens fairly passively as a result of the pulling force, or instead should be a conscious effort. I imagine this probably depends on the player/their ballflight/club weight/ soundness of preceding motions etc. In short, some nuance around this area between pulll and swing phases (maybe in relation to other aspects) would be very interesting and educational.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hi Chris - pull phase and swing phase I have explained and demonstrated on many occasions and explained exactly what you’re referencing. The pull and swing is only one element like all the factors of the swing. Depends whether your pull and swing is on the correct pitch, your legs are fired up, face is good; handle track good, so so so many variables. Hope that’s helps.

[@MrSmashmouth07]

this guy is making the golf swing so hard and complicated to understand why do these KZbinr instructor make the swing seam like rocket science

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

I really appreciate you my friend; looking for a quick tip to help your game is the plague of golf. Invest a little time in understanding and who knows what may come your way. If you don’t agree with it, why not just be kind and walk away instead of being ungrateful. I won’t please everyone, you are that guy, but I’d rather you just walk on and go watch a quick tip video on another platform. Either way, I respect and love your comments and appreciate you taking the time to share them. Best wishes Stu

[@oceanyt8]

Playing almost other sports. No problem and picked up quite fast. Athleticism and good body flexibility. Picked up golf 10 years ago but am still struggling to make it consistent. Perfect posture, distance, swing, and square off club face, putting and etc. Officially, this is the hardest sport in the world. No question about it. That's why we want physics tutoring. If anyone can adopt the simple way and pick up from imitation right away, he is from a different planet.

[@user_1664]

Every fix creates another problem , the message here is not flippy floppy or a fad stuart genuinely understands the swing and is open and forthright with his ( sometimes elongated) instruction . Take the time to decipher , it really is worth it . Or go get a fix , you will be back . 🤦🏻

[@michaelcocozza7181]

Its funny because ive been looking for an explanation like this and you correctly describe how "in to out" swing thought has had me hitting high and right with little power and compression. Keep on keeping on!!.​@GoodGolfCoaching

[@DIOS10]

Is there no chance you can execute your swing in absolute slow motion ? Only way to see what you explain. Thx

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Knowing what you need to feel dynamically rather than interpreting statically or very slowly is the way forward my friend.
