Stopping The Biggest Killer Mistake In Your Golf Swing

[@richardmorris7363]

No BS there Stu just bloomin good quality intellectual golf coaching ....I'm loving it

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks Richard, I’m really loving the journey. Truly. Thanks to you for always such kind and supportive messages. Hope you’re well my friend.

Hi Stuart, really fascinating insight into your swing motion which retains the golf club face swinging and still staying square to the arc but nevertheless allowing the golf club to release whereby the club head does indeed overtake the grip end. But crucially it is not done by twisting / spinning the shaft. Namely it’s not done by flipping and rapidly closing down the club face rapidly through impact. So you begin to delineate the pull phase in the initial phase of the downswing from the breaking followed by the swing phase. So the breaking phase presumably starts around club last parallel (the delivery position). I’m liking the advice to allow the right shoulder to move downwards & out to collect the ball / cover the ball with your chest and trail shoulder which enables the downward strike with a more hands forward & shaft lean. Great content Stuart. Thks Myles

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks Myles, much appreciated.

This video unlocked a lot of things for me thank you so much Stuart

My pleasure Yosh!

Best golf coaching on the internet. best regards from Bavaria

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Bless you, thank so much my friend.

[@irishtickles]

Thanks! This is a refreshing insight. I take it bowing the wrist in the down swing prevents early release. This new way of thinking frees me up.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Gosh this is very kind of you, thank you so much. Really appreciated.

[@IdaGolfo]

I really enjoyed this video. The right shoulder explanation in particular I think will really help me. Watching you demonstrate the right shoulder action lengthening the amount of the shoulder going forward coupled with you demonstrating the hand action, specifically using your left hand to demonstrate the pivot point of approximately when the right hand should over take the left hand during the breaking phase, helped me remind me just how important keeping the hands down is throughout the swing. Just installed my home simulator. This will give me something awesome to work on. Appreciate you, Stu.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Bless you my friend. Feel super lucky to have such amazing subscribers and members like your good self. Happy golfing 😊

[@jammuu]

Brilliant video Stu! Cleared up so many questions I had regarding the “flip”

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Superb, music to my ears my friend.

[@Jonny4fingers]

Great video Stuart! Loved the comment for the haters to “Have a day off!!”. Good luck to them, let ‘em swing in to out, bow the wrist, close and hold off the face. All nonsense. You’re teachings are a revelation ❤

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks Johnny, really appreciate it my friend, sincerely.

[@jessecooper9795]

Fantastic quality coaching explained really well by a top fella. To all you people who don’t agree “because you’re not looking for a video on you tube to fix your poor golf swing!” Just leave and go somewhere else!. Stu thank you again and totally awesome stuff.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks Craig, really appreciate the support as ever my friend, truly grateful.

[@williamsatterly2736]

Big love once again for your content. Simply the best. Never change

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks William - really appreciate my friend.

[@DavidC-j5b]

Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something! This one provides lots of insightful detail on club head release. The nuanced differences between iron and driver feelings through impact are important. Helps me understand why I seem to hit the irons better when I focus on getting the right shoulder moving out toward the target line and around the ball. Looking forward to the Driver video.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks David - driver video out next week ! 😊

[@jgabag]

More gold from Stu ….. world’s best golf coach!

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Bless you my friend, really kind words and very much appreciated.

[@josephD-e6m]

After 25 years of wasted lessons, thousands of "YT instructors" Stu is a ray of light to stop the Madness! He is undoubtedly, by light years' far and away the very finest instructor in the universe, bar none. You need to get the concept, otherwise if your wedded to your old swing, you will dismiss it. See his videos a few times and by all means if you can take a lesson if you can. I haven't yet, but I will...

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Truly grateful for the feedback and thoughts Joseph, humbling. Thank you. 🙏 Best wishes Stu

[@romainrisch9184]

Hi Stu, I'm so glad, that I found your channel. All of this makes so much sense!

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

So so pleased to hear this my friend!

[@geraldsturgis6686]

It’s working for me! Just what I needed for the irons. I was smashing my drives but had some pulls with the irons. Great timing❤

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Love it Gerald, thank you my friend. Best wishes Stu

[@Robin-Cj]

This is just Beautiful instruction Stu!

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thank you so much Robin, hugely appreciated.

[@roadtoscratchgolf3481]

Stu, excellent explanation and demonstration, again. I knew many others would call it a flip when it certainly isn’t. What works for me is visualizing the handle arc and not the club head arc. My one thought is to get my hands to make the handle arc underneath my shoulders so that it passes where it was at setup. This was a powerful video and I sensed your frustration and man did you set them straight. Kudos, brother. Cheers.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks so much R2S, as ever, really appreciate your insights and thoughts. God bless

[@drewt34]

Absolutely pure class, another amazing and insightful video

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thank you very much Andrew, high praise from a pro like you 😊

[@andycorso8498]

This is such a reasoned explanation of What we all should be understanding…..but seems so rare out there in teaching land. Love this stuff.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Glad you're enjoying Andy; just getting warmed up my friend.

[@ianbryan4977]

Such a good video .. I’ve adapted my pre-shot routine to a more dynamic movement in line with this video as ‘previously’ I was obsessed with arriving from the inside (garbage) and didn’t use enough rotation in the swing .. ‘more swing power’ is the answer and it’s joyous

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Isn’t it just Ian, love hearing about your new intent my friend. Best wishes Stu 😊

[@davidedmonds8418]

Great video makes perfect sense , trying to swing into out will cause the flip . This is 💯% my fault but cannot for the life of me put the pressure on the handle and stop swinging in to out with the flip . definitely food for thought ,Cheers Stu

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hi David, kind words my friend. More leg action for you needed; not hips, legs. Hope that helps. 😊

[@davidedmonds8418]

@@GoodGolfCoaching cheers Stu thx for the help, will look at your leg action videos 😄

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

My pleasure David

[@DeanBGolf]

Great video Stu. Another good point well demonstrated.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks Dean, much appreciated my friend.

[@dougellio7000]

Super explanation again Stu. I'm absolutely guilty of the handle moving incorrectly and flipping. I do believe it also comes from not moving the hips well but that's a physical issue I have. A work in progress but this definitely helps. Keep it up. WE WILL CONVERT THEM 😂

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks Doug, every day keep trying 😊

[@garethneal3235]

Another great video mate

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks so much Gareth, super happy you enjoyed my friend.

[@littlejuka4640]

Great demonstration Stu. If we find the ball flight going to the left would you recommend a slightly less stronger grip or alignment to the right to offset? Thanks

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hey buddy - I would recommend you to watch my “Power at Impact” video (thumbnail) and if you still have problems with left then “perhaps” Weaken the grip but this would be a very last resort. Hope that helps.

[@mikecaparco3933]

Excellent

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks so much Mike

[@Sklinh710]

Thanks a lot , does your explanation close to the concept of exit low and left?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

It has elements but obviously a bit more than just swing low and left.

[@garysatterfield7805]

....... gheesh Stu, would you pleeeeeeeese stop making so much sense 😁.......man that was good......thanks⛳🍺

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks bud, glad you enjoyed my friend and appreciate you continued support always.

[@garysatterfield7805]

........ really looking forward to the one about the driver. Like I told you before that breaking sensation and the club releasing his unbelievable..... I'm not absolutely sure but I'm going to take a wild guess and say the difference might be the right shoulder staying back a split second longer maybe......⛳🍺

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

You're certainly on the right lines Gary but a few other ingredients too that I am looking forward to sharing!

[@tonyfrostad2730]

Flippers have to raise the left shoulder and do an in to out swing with a high hands finish. Your, in to in swing allows the shoulders to swing almost level and finish at shoulder level, less stress on the arms, shoulders and lower back! Keep on filming !

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Amen to that my friend! Huge thanks for your thoughts Tony, best wishes Stu

[@MikeKnox-dl4gr]

Good stuff!

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks so much Mike, much appreciated Sir.

[@factual6591]

Contradicting your previous video on hands out to the ball line then down and in. Which rules? This or the previous?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Absolutely no contradiction at all my friend. Go watch again.

[@r.l.rachel740]

Kudos ! A successful redemption video after the "Brake Phase" video. Thank you.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Zero redemption; just a subscriber that wanted to see it all in one video... haha

[@TheRealLanceCummings]

Good stuff. I must admit that it seems to me that applying active breaking via lead-hand pressure against the motion of the swing combined with trail-hand pressure with the swing (which was how I interpreted a recent video of yours) ... well, it's Flip City, isn't it?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hopefully you now understand the difference Lance. Best wishes Stu

[@TheRealLanceCummings]

@@GoodGolfCoaching It's helpful for sure. I will have to review and assimilate to make best use of it of course. On another vein, I notice that my head position at (iron) setup seems wrong. There is additional spine tilt for the driver, of course. But I seem to need *some* of that for solid iron contact (if not exactly spine tilt, and certainly not as much as with driver, then head a bit to the right compared to where I've been setting up). It seems a world of difference. Am I dreaming? Rotation suddenly seems "on plane", comparatively. You are the best.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

🙌🙌

[@stuart.s]

Funny how a video in 2024 has added the final bit of clarity to a right shoulder drill my golf coach taught me as a junior 30+ years ago having struggled with a big hook from excessive in to out during two rounds at a Junior open (I can’t remember the year 😂). It always works.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Love to hear this Stu, never too late! 😊

[@stuart.s]

@@GoodGolfCoaching I wish I had used it exclusively for all that time. Thank you for providing all of this informative insight and great to see those subscriber numbers climbing. 👍

Thanks Stu, i am really enjoying the journey so far and thank you for being a part of it! Hope the golf keeps improving my friend.

[@oceanyt8]

Hi Stuart. I really struggling alot to understand the flip and unlock and what is actually the correct club head face. Do we have to lock the wrist or palm deliberately just right before ball contact?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hi my friend - have you seen my “Brake Phase” video? Please watch this and you will find all the answers my friend.

[@jonhegg]

If BS means 'best swing' then it sure is! Grateful for your excellent teaching.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Haha thanks John - can’t please everyone 😂

[@nathanperry9593]

My confusion about the golf swing. How do you work the handle out (pull) and work the left arm under in the downswing? Trying to get this is confusing. I really want to understand.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hey Nathan, have you watched my broom series? This will show you so much…

[@Frazer20]

Mike Malaska teaches a similar technique

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Fantastic for Mike!

[@rayhickey6768]

I left a comment on one of Stuart's previous videos where I noticed a close similarity to Mike Malaska regarding hand path through the impact phase. The logic is striking and the mental image of where the clubhead goes if the handle is used correctly has helped me a lot. Good advice from experienced and knowledgeable coaches. We are very lucky to live in a time where all this good information from anywhere in the world is so freely available.

[@mattdaniels6430]

Constructive criticism: leave the negative language and arrogant takes just out. It wont change the point of the video and it doesn't rub off anybody in a negative way. It is possible to describe differences in peoples approaches to the golf swing without judging, yours works for you, others works for others. Viewers may want to know where you have issues with different approaches and why, no reasonable person wants to know whether you think it is nonsense or not. fyi: it looks so much like flipping to some people because you show the isolated arm movement but with straight hips, in an actual swing in impact hips will be slightly open and suddenly the movement you describe doesn't look as flippy anymore.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Matt, I appreciate your very generous and insightful feedback and I absolutely respect everything you say. For now, I’m going to keep being me; some people will like, some people won’t, but my delivery and authenticity is who I want to be right now. Sorry if it offends but for now I will continue. Best wishes Stu
