After watching several of your videos I am now playing the best golf of my life.. There is no one that can break down all the facets of the golf swing like you. I owe you so much. Thank you Stuart.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks Rennie, really appreciate the very kind feedback and hope the good golf continues. If I can help you with anything further please let me know! Best wishes Stu

[@Supper-zero]

I had four birdies on my last round of golf two days ago and a lot of that I contribute to your explanations on the physics of golf. My takeaway has improved by pushing down on the handle at the start and it reminds me to keep my left shoulder down and not pull my arm across my chest. Hitting the ball closer to the flag- much thanks.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Come on!! Great job, keep it up net zero, loads more great golf to come and lower scores! Thanks for sharing, means a lot. Best wishes Stu

[@angelmaldonado6464]

Thank you 🙏🏽 Thank you!!!! Finally, someone who makes sense of it all. Thank you so much Steward!! 🙏🏽

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thank you Sir - tired of ambiguous direction for many golfers. Really appreciate you being part of the community! Best wishes Stu

[@chrislub57]

I’ve never heard such detailed discussion about grip pressure, particularly when in the swing it should feel light. Coach Cartwright is the goat!!!

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Ahh thanks Chris, glad you’re enjoying the videos. Plenty more to come my friend!

[@thomasfischer9320]

Great stuff, thanks. What do you think about the Peter Cowens "towel wring out" grip?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hi Thomas - unfortunately it’s still far too easy to get wrong and with something as influential as the grip, more detail than wringing out a towel is not precise enough. Best wishes Stu 😊

[@rogersmith5383]

I thank you for your videos you have given me a new outlook on my golf. My problem was the clubface at impact and used a round of golf to fix it, remembering some of your videos suddenly things come together and hit a 5 iron over the water to 6inches for a birdie. Keep the content coming as you bring a fresh outlook on golf.Regards Roger.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Music to my ears Roger, why I started this journey and super happy you’ve got some benefit from it. Really appreciate the feedback of your experiences and hugely thankful for your channel support. Best wishes Stu

[@chrislub57]

You said it! Fresh 🤌

[@michaelhobbs1892]

Love your teaching first time very knowledge thanks so much plan on watching all your videos

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

A big welcome Michael and if you have questions along the way, please don’t hesitate to ask my friend. Best wishes Stu 😊

[@roadtoscratchgolf3481]

Enjoyed this video, Stuart. What I took away from it was that we should not focus so much on grip pressure because once we have the correct orientation of our hands on the club (different for every golfer) and are comfortable with said orientation our grip pressure will naturally adjust itself because of the comfort level we have holding the club. This will allow us to swing faster at a more comfortable level, and thus allow the natural sequence and timing to take over. Cheers.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Your summary is absolutely on point; hope it helps you achieve even lower scores! Best wishes Stu

[@mattythealtgolfer]

Thanks for the shout out glad to be of service

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Amen bro - you’ve got an awesome channel!

[@GolfAddicts]

Thanks for the shout out mate 😊

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Always ☺️

[@jack-hq7gr]

Appreciate the insight, information and demonstration, with sense of humor.. Had a question, but, upon review you answered. Pay attention Jack… 😮 No towel drill here…

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hahah that made me giggle Jack. Best wishes Stu 😊

[@paulwelsh9325]

Every time a see another video I’m getting the jigsaw slowly . Can’t wait to try this light pressure at the top and at impact 👍. One question Stu. On the downswing transition do you feel it’s more armsy after the initial pull down or more of a rotation and less arm feel before impact ?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hey Paul - learning in layers crucial, as long as there is a process of building that vision and continuity with the message, this game is truly easy to master and at the worst, not lose golf balls and get angry! I would say there is more "activity" with the handle in transition than you'd feel with the leg action. Being busy with your feet wont feel the same as being busy with your handle. Hope that makes sense. Best wishes Stu 😊

[@nedgermany]

I’d like you to talk about the importance of grip size and also choking down just a bit to make sure you can pin Club against pad of top hand

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks for the request Ned; the grip size in my opinion should only be relevant to the size of the glove hand, it has very little purpose in trying to quieten hand action or encouraging more hand action. Hope that helps!

[@ronniecreek7962]

Thanks for the great videos. Can you explain during the pull phase, when you feel like you stop pulling and let the release happen or if this just happens automatically.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hi Ronnie, if you look at my most recent video, "1 Minute Driver Drill" or my "Angle of Aattck" video, i go into this in great detail. Best wishes Stu

[@marktizard7273]

Hi again could you do a drill at the 5.12second on this video showing the how the hand works into the body to release the golf club square through impact. Cheers Mark

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Mark, have you seen my Broom drill video? Best wishes Stu

[@iloveturtle315]

Morning Stuart. Interesting video (as always). Be interested in your thoughts on coaches who teach ‘taking the hands out of the swing’ ie more rotational swing?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

The alleged “rotational swing” is simply a buzz phrase to lure people into believing it’s the answer to making the face have less rotation and take the arms out the swing. It’s nonsense, always will and always has been. The golf swing has been driven as a lateral move for years, sure, the forces through the feet now deliver more rotation but the club face and forearms rotate, they may do it it less, but you absolutely have the have the hands and arms involved. Don’t fall for a “more rotational” swing phraseology, it’s meaningless imho. Hope that helps in some way and I absolutely WILL do a video on this myth. Best wishes Stu 😊

[@iloveturtle315]

Thank you!! My thoughts exactly. Be interested in a video in covering ball whilst acknowledging the need for arm rotation given most mortals can’t physically get into the position by trying pure rotational method

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Equally don’t be lured to the fact physicality is a limiting factor; unless significant, strength is the biggest divide delivering distance rather than movement. HTH.

[@RWCARC]

Hi, new to your channel and going through your YT videos. Love the details on grip pressure, the broom videos, etc. Looked at your grip series part 1 and 2 you refer to in some of your videos. Really feel my best ball striking is when the pad of the left hand pushes down and the fingers of the right pull up. However, I have inconsistent results and trying to get my grip proper in order to trust it more of how I orientate my hands and fingers on the handle. I just switched over to a neutral grip which I consider is best for hinging of the wrists. Can you put together a detailed grip video that covers how you place each hand on the handle, and recommended pressure points of the hand and fingers, etc? I have arthritis in my hands which adds to my challenge. Thanks!!

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

First, a big welcome Randal, thanks for being part of the channels community, really appreciated. I’ll absolutely do an update grip video to the three grip videos I’ve done. Detailing what you’ve requested mo problem at all. Best wishes Stu 😊

[@RWCARC]

@@GoodGolfCoaching Wonderful and thanks for the message!! Really enjoying your content as I take a deeper dive, your golf swing approach, drills and so forth! Really looking forward to seeing your channel content continue to grow also! Your viewpoints on what you see other respected YT instructors are saying is refreshing, even if it goes against what they are trying to teach. But at the end of the day, all anyone that plays this crazy game is just trying to develop a repeatable swing that they can have confidence in and enjoy the beautiful game. Will definitely be sharing your channel with my golfer friends🙂

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

@@RWCARC thank you so much! Make sure they say hi, going to run a competition at 5K subscribers that will be worth entering! Thanks Randal!

[@user-sq4fe3rx5l]

Hey Stuart, this is one I struggle with the most - I’m not overcoming the intrinsic instinct to grip harder in order to take action - do you have any drills or advice on this? Dunc

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

The grip hard is in an effort to over power another motion compromising the face Dunc. Whatever bend you fight most would be the best place to look on correcting first, rather than the grip pressure being the cause of other issues. Hope that makes sense. Best wishes Stu 😊

[@user-sq4fe3rx5l]

Ah, that makes sense! I’ve spent so long with a shut clubface trying to fight the right side of the fairway I’ve not yet got to the point of trusting I can soften and release my grip (for my old fear of going out of bounds left!)

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Trust it! ☺️

[@paulwelsh9325]

I was studying the hogan swing before I watched a couple of your videos. Changed from a weak to strong grip with driver but severe hooks any advice , should I change the grip slightly as I am pulling the club at the top towards the ball and not getting stuck

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hi Paul - take a look at this video my friend Unlocking Golf Ball Compression: Increase Your POWER at IMPACT kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqapgaSGq8agn7c

[@paulwelsh9325]

@@GoodGolfCoaching just watched the video thanks well explained I will put into practice maybe with irons. But as I did use the driver and the attack would be the same . Would I follow the same technique but cup wrist as driver bottoms out before the driver starts the uprise ?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Absolutely my friend. 😊

[@jack-hq7gr]

Grip pressure- lots of current information on good players and especially tour quality men have much stronger hands and pressure on grip in comparison to average men. So a pro light pressure is probably much stronger than a average guy death grip..?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Only stronger pressure because they are stronger Jack; would still feel light to them in my opinion. Hope that helps Sir

[@bigjmal]

I was just feeling this yesterday...a couple subtle changes in my grip enabled me to have a lighter grip, and that feeling of light hands at the transition.As always though it was the last couple of holes I had the epiphany and I'm sure I'll have lost it by next weekend! Stupid bloody game...

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Enjoy the moments when they come and go; ultimately, with depth of understanding and application, they Weill be fewer and further between. Thanks for sharing !! Best wishes Stu

[@andycorso8498]

What about grip pressure In Different parts of the hands? Squeezing the last 2 fingers against the pad of the left hand will be different to squeezing the forefinger and thumb….no? Also different pressure in the left and right hands….. clearly l am over thinking this but maybe if you do remake the grip series it could be explored there?…… nice one though Stu

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Andy, all relevant questions, but I believe if you adhere to the advise in this video and the grip itself the other inputs will be less important. I will remake a few of the grip series videos and a bit more on this topic will be included. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and questions!
