EYE OPENER - Golf Impact simplified at last - The Golfing Machine

[@grovercarter1126]

Steve: you may find this interesting! I took a lesson from one of the very first instructors of the golfing machine concept. His name was Mr. Alex Sloan in Florence, Alabama! I took my book with me and he signed it for me. He also wrote this,”There are 446,515,550,000,000,000 swings in this book. That is 446 Quadrillion, 515 Trillion, 550 Billion! No wonder this game is so difficult! Enjoy your explanations of The Golfing Machine! Thank you.

[@davidgumley8017]

Love your unique sense of humour Steve. I doubt any other KZbinr could deliver this technical 5h1t so entertainingly 👌👌👌

[@davidallison4359]

Keep this topic going. I love the Golfing Machine.

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Thanks David. It’s fascinating

[@BruceLowe88]

Wet Sunday afternoon nerding out on scientific golf swing detail….love it…just as well you were there interpreting the detail from that book. That’s the golf swing 👍🏼

[@arnault4442]

Voilà ! Simply brilliant illustration about what golf is and what golf is not ! Let's have a try on the practice or the golf course in order to confirm that your efforts to teach us worth the pain Steve. Thank you.

[@stevejohnstongolf]

You’re welcome

[@jonnymo4728]

Pretty good. You read. You show. The book is a cookbook. Not a vacation guide. Expect it to be dry. Read it as guided. Practice. Take videos. Review and compare. The key to improving is to know where you went wrong. Flat wrist. Stay on plane. Right elbow is MANDATORY. LAG is key. Head stability. Rhythm.

[@samendacott3921]

Steve that has been really helpful. Took it to the range then the course and I'm striking the ball amazingly well. Golf is good, rather, Good Golf is Good ! GGIG

[@MrAcohen]

Thanks for my new sleeping aid. Do everyone a favor and burn that book, your regular videos are awesome.

[@hammy1704]

😳 … 🤯 I’ll have to come back to this Mr Johnston, it’s to early in the morning! 🏌️‍♂️⛳️

[@davidterrie7661]

Pre-programmed. Great thought. Homer Kelley seems to be the Henry James of golf writers. When I was in college, we were reading The Ambassadors, and our professor advised reading no more than 5 pages at time so you could fully absorb the text.

[@fredsharp2456]

2'nd look, makes more sense now, persevere Fred, thanks Steve.

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Well done Fred

[@tedwestray9168]

Looks so easy…thanks 😮

[@garettgee6305]

Its almost as if you just translated a foreign language to us. Brilliant as always sir. Keep up the good work and good luck. I truly hope this channel takes off for you.

[@gerardr8605]

Brilliant! Will be taking that to the rangefinder this afternoon.

[@2ping2pong]

Brilliant - this removed several swing thoughts and let my body figure out how to get to flat wrist impact. Result in first time trying this was a boring flight with falling draw and half club longer on irons. I play in the south Texas winds and really needed this trajectory improvement and now I feel like I can attach pins.

[@Saintash1964]

I’m gonna watch this several times 🏌️‍♂️

[@nickmathieson]

Superb video Steve, the way you simplified that was excellent. Thank you!

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Thanks Nick

[@kcnielsen3735]

Enjoy all your vids Steve…long time subscriber, the plane of the left wrist after impact and the way you described it turned a light on for me Can’t wait to try it tomorrow at the range, I’ve been doing it along with the vid and it feels different in a good way Cheers Steve thanks again

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Excellent, good luck 👍

[@jimthomson1892]

AAAA++++ Simple explanation of very complicated verbiage. Great stuff. Hope to see more clarifications of The Golfing Machine hieroglyphics.

[@kevinintheusa8984]

Great video on G.O.L.F. and how to read it. Very informative and I love it. I have gone through the book many times and watched countless videos from Brian Manzella to Lynn Blake and this is the best explanation of any of it that I have seen. I would very much love you to do many more of these. Flying wedges, hinging action, etc. Great, great video. I may have to dust off my 7th Edition. On an aside, I purchased the video and book from Ben Doyle which he signed. I learned a lot today. Thanks.

[@nathanperry9593]

Think of the back of the left hand as being on plane in the downswing and follow through is a game changer. The club head will follow that.

[@markhenrystone65]

Really made me think, loved this video carry on mate many more like this please. Loved it. I know I'd not be able to follow the book but your translation for 'numptys' like me spot on 👍

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Thanks Mark. It’s not the easiest to translate but we’ll get there 👏🏻👏🏻👍👍

[@jonprown9017]

Absolutely fantastic tutorial. Thanks Steve.

[@gtflyer]

Great video Steve. I think about my flat left wrist at address, and keep it in mind all through my swing, it works.

[@johngerardmccarthy9103]

I'll save this one Steve, this could be the key I'm looking for. Cheers

[@huangwee3465]

Another excellent video. Well done and helpful for me to practice today

[@mikecurrie6588]

Ha Steve good to know i have been playing "not golf" for the last couple of years. Great lesson today despite the weather,and so much of your video relates to my faults, and it sounds so simple - we will see !! Look forward to seeing you again next month All the best.

[@davidgumley8017]

Only "The last couple of years"? Lucky bugger! I've been getting it wrong for 55 bloody years!!!🤣🤣🤣

[@mikecurrie6588]

[@rickfiddler133]

Thank you for this interpretation of some seriously seemingly ambiguous instructions. Tying this discussion to your previous video(s) on flying wedges Homer seems to be a proponent of getting your hands in a very specific configuration and then keep them there until follow through. It makes Bryson’s swing seem wooden but damn it he hits a long straight ball. Thanks again! Rick

[@andywright2356]

Hi Steve great info opened my eyes think this is going to help me loads keep up the videos so helpful

[@rodneyjohnsey4924]

Very good. Work on this tomorrow.

[@davidwilson1952]

I'm a geek, this makes more sense than anything else. off to redo my spread sheet LOL

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Go for it Dave!

[@mikelodge9688]

That was excellent mate. More of the same please 👍🏻

[@henkvonzeuner1235]

That was great something different but many of the pros (Justin Rose comes to mind) emphasize the "this is golf" motion on their practice swing. Now we know why. I really like your approach

[@robpottergolf]

This is inspired mate. Genuinely!!!!!!

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Cheers RP

[@waynetrinier4654]

Thanks for that Steve. I won’t be reading that book 📖 just that example gave me a headache 🤕. I like your explanation much better.

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Appreciated Wayne

[@cadger10]

Ben Hogan’s book talks about the “supinating left wrist” in his book “The Five Fundamentals of Golf” . Both are brilliant books!

[@rupertchapman9037]

The strong wrist has definitely improved my strike - thx. I am working on the eureka swing and get good golf strikes with the irons and hybrids, normally straight though occasionally left without spin. My issue arises with three wood off the tee or the ground. I cannot cure a slight fade and turn it into a draw. I have tried emphasising shoulders to point closer to the swing path. I am not sure I am able to get more in to out with my swing. What do you think is causing this?

[@malmond1972]

@steve - clearly never going to doubt that it’s right, but interested in what taking left wrist up the plain adds to the swing. Perhaps encourages even more body rotation?

[@garyjacks9584]

Probably stops "holding off" the release an thereby maintains the club head speed through impact ??

[@33115566]

I like the idea of the back of the left hand sliding up the plane in the finish. Good video.

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Thanks.

[@paulengebretson6597]

I thought I knew the laws of ball flight but I know longer think I do, it appears what I was taught may be wrong, I would love to see your take on face vs. path.

[@hitdog042]

This goes in line with the cell phone drill you had a few videos ago (I think).

[@tiptopsaidhe]

The first imperative is a flat left wrist...not bent, nor arched. We start out bent, as soon as the swing begins, the left wrist goes flat. It is to remain flat the rest of the way. The way to guarantee it is by uncocking. When the left wrist is uncocked, it can't bend (flip). Steve, can you please show us whether this uncocking (ulnar deviation) is active on our part, or is the throw-out action of the weight of the clubhead? If it's the throw-out action, why is it so easy for us to interfere with it? Please continue this with one more lesson on the uncocking part of the left wrist.

[@golfolie64]

Easy .thank you.

[@stevejohnstongolf]

🤷‍♂️👍

[@georgiamay4045]

tonned und cocked ?? okay ,, next ,, pre-progrmmd from the tup .. which of the 144 variations wasn't complicated? Got better as you went through .. Mostly I just try to visualize my impact through the ball.. seems to work for me...

[@royclose946]

Well done Steve what a book ha ha 😂

[@stevejohnstongolf]

It’s a great book. Just super hard to get your head around it🤷‍♂️

[@aidanburrows4177]

Is it the same with driver, but perhaps less pronounced?

[@stevejohnstongolf]

That’s right Aiden

[@steveking2144]

Why don't we just start in that "preprogrammed flat left wrist" at address and maintain it throughout the swing??? Less thinking... just start it before you swing back? Your thoughts?

[@nathansmardenka5208]

Is this what the GEM promotes?

[@johnvandijk6703]

🤔 I hope I get it till Tomorrow

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Good luck John

[@edf9992]

Brilliant

[@dvnstone]

Geez that an expensive book!

[@stephenthompson1998]

Straight is good if it’s down the fairway, which I am not Hopefully this may be my answer

[@markbrook4697]

Thanks Steve i think! My head hurts

[@mikehaynes1769]

‘That is not golf’ - my exact thought every time I slice....

[@stevejohnstongolf]

I see it all the time🤷‍♂️

[@geordieboyjohn]

[@stevejohnstongolf]

🤷‍♂️every day is a school day

[@justnews9738]

Ok but strong push with right hand into impact can do this correctly or help in doing it I believe

[@ronmullard5718]

And that's all there is to it...why do we struggle ....

[@dannymullins4647]

Nothing wrong with what Steve says but he admits he is a flat swinger but would get more distance and control with a more upright swing.

[@marcmanion4264]

Sorry Steve, lost the will to live around 7:30

[@Mat_Scott]

Steve, what’s your handicap mate?

[@barryhill6482]

Check out Dr Kwon Golf. He is a PhD in biomechanics at Texas Woman University. Very similar technical explanations on the mechanics of the swing plane and body motions. Great video Steve, one day I’ll get there!

[@rondarling751]

Too much information for my simple mind….

Come on Ron. You’re better than that🤷‍♂️👍😉
