What really gets me with Grant's swing is just how light and nimble he is during it. It doesn't even look like the club weighs anything or his body is exerting effort anywhere in particular. Just such a thing of beauty.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Agreed---soo smooth!!

[@Iron_headify]

Professional golfers from the 70’s learned how to shift weight with your Mom at the disco. That is how Gary got the last name Player and became a champion. We could all do more of this to become pure ball strikers.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Well thats an interesting take....haven't heard that one before lol....thanks for watching :)

[@conor2439]

I love learning 100% true facts like this about the history of golf. It's so interesting to see how the sport has evolved. Thanks for sharing.

[@highplains]

Lol, thanks man. I've contacted your mum for a dance date & she has promised by the end of it I will be striking my balls like never before

[@Cats3141]

Excellent instruction. Eric & Grant are both among the best teachers.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Appreciate it!!

[@stallion427]

Not too mention Saguto got to give him a shout out

[@royalt9570]

Couple of class acts here. Two gentleman giving us mortals some tips to help our game out. Thanks guys 😁

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Appreciate it :)

[@BlackjackCZ]

Grant has one of the best looking swings on KZbin.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

For sure!!

[@WHYtChalk0L8]

I swear with yesterday's videos and todays, it's as if you've been watching my swing! These are 2 things I struggle with. When I do get a good weight shift & keep my arms relaxed, I get WAY better compression & distance. Would love some drills to go with this, but this is a great swing thought. Keep up the great content!!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Lol love it---appreciate it! Keep an eye on ya :)

[@chrispearce9224]

I get that feeling also. Almost like they followes me on the course and made a video to see what crappy golfers do. LoL.

[@UMGL420]

Been learning this in my lessons too. I’m an arms guy and the hip bump allows me to initiate my swing and start the drop of my arms so they’re not over the top. It’s a new feeling but has been a real good change

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Hope this one helps ya!~!

[@Sapperjoel1984]

Love this series so far! When people say to "compress the ball", it almost seems like rotating your hips past the ball placement is key. That rotation is what I struggle with the most and it seems like I thin a lot of shots. This is a great drill, thank you.

[@JG-vo8ey]

not rotating

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks Joel!!

[@maxhess202]

The weight shift is the one thing holding me back from completely transforming my game.. I’ve been golfing for 9 months and I shoot low 90s and have broken 90 twice, this video is something I’ll take to the range and work on

[@aalfredaalfonso]

My ball striking is decent. My putting is SO BAD.

[@jnewb]

@@aalfredaalfonso as long as ur not playing on super punishing greens, I’d say one thing that’s helped me putt is just focusing and speed and hitting the center of the face. My chipping is def where I lose strokes

[@Abebrem117]

Your good for 9 months. I’ve been golfing 45+ rounds for three years now and the I’ve broke 90 once.

[@brianschultz7320]

I’m in the same spot. My irons suck because I hang back too much.

[@scottelder7648]

@@brianschultz7320 Keep wait on your front leg, like 60%-70% and never load the trail leg. Finish with 90-95% on the lead leg. That should improve those struggling hitting it fat!

[@nahbruhnope]

Man, Grant really belts em out there. What a swing.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

So good!!

[@russquick7899]

What a GREAT follow up to your previous video with the weight shift forward along the toe line. You and Grant do a terrific job together in these sessions. I learn more from you Eric than you can imagine and has got me back to being the ball striker I used to be. Many, many thanks. Stay safe-Russ

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Appreciate it Russ!!

[@davidkramer194]

I've been watching you for a while now and I have to say that you've gotten so much better over the years of really giving your audience one or two specific things to focus on, such as during the backswing you should feel your tush moving towards the target not away from it. We all know that if you give people too many swing thoughts it turns into a hot mess real quick.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Appreciate that David!!

[@lloydranola]

This! I’m replaying this one over and over at the driving range ASAP! 😊

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Lol love it!

[@lloydranola]

@@PerformanceGolfZone ok no joke. I concentrated on a touch of pressure to the inside of my trail foot followed immediately by pressure to my lead foot during the backswing and my low point issues totally improved! Thanks again!

[@jimsaddler942]

Wow! What a great instructional video. Grant has an amazing swing. I've been working on these concepts all summer. I'm working on turning my hips and shifting my weight forward on the downswing, but I struggle trying to keep my head over the ball. My hips are turning and my weight is shifting, but if I don't keep my head over the ball, it moves a bit forward and I end up smothering the ball, hitting a low, hook shot.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Hey Jim! Try these where I show how to fix that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJaxZYCMiq-Nfrc kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHi0oqWHptCVe7s&pp=ygUqRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIEdvbGYgd2h5IGRyaXZlcnMgaGlnaCBhbmQgZmFy

[@D3m0nOfTh3Fall]

This was my “aha” moment and the one tip that I have never seen videos on. The ‘pivot’ and ‘lean’ are 2 cues I tell myself before I swing. Great video!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thank you!! hope it helps!!

[@TXSTSportsFan]

I always worry about watching instruction films because they can really set you back if you're not careful. This video was simple and helpful. Thx

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Appreciate it!!

[@frankcanzanella6753]

I appreciate your emphasizing the hip movement in the backswing and downswing. The backswing ends with hip movement and the downswing begins with the hip movement.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Yes!!

[@kenbagwell8551]

Great explanations. My understanding of the golf swing has really increased, thanks guys!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Appreciate it Ken!!

[@golfnut0120]

What a beautiful swing!!!

Yes!!

This lesson came just at the right time for me. Thank you both! 👍🏻

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

You got it Bob!! Thanks for watching!

[@goggie47]

Epic lesson!!!👌🥇 It is definitely a point I personally need to get right, cause I'm also still striking either behind or topping the ball.. that movement made so much sense and I'll take it to the field for sure. Thanks a million!!!🙌✨

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

You got it---appreciate the kind words and support---hope it helps!!

[@theomannen0773]

Im just gonna say thank you. I watched this video before my round then tried on the range a little bit and then shot my lowest score ever

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thank you!!

[@gregoryrange1049]

I’m definitely going to try this. I’ve been told so often to keep my chest over the ball and I forget about my lower half. I just took a practice swing and I went straight backwards. Hoping this helps !!!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Yes!!

[@dougcarlisle7557]

What a great looking swing.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

So good!!

[@atamagashock]

Wish I had grants swing, he makes it look so smooth and easy. I’m a pretty decent ball striker with my irons, but I definitely know I’m not consistent with my transfer. So even though I rarely have issues with my irons, I do know that I’m not always getting my full distance potential. So then I end up 10-15 yards short and rather than being pin high, I’m chipping from 10-15, unless it’s a huge green obviously

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Hope this one helps ya! We'd all take Grants swing for sure :)

[@michaeljeremiah9221]

Nice 👍🏻

[@nolo3]

grant has a freaking perfect swing

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

So good!!

[@snaphook31]

3:55 is the feel that I wish someone told me about 15 years ago. Low single digit that has to always concentrate so hard on rotating vs. a slide. I had it drilled in me to 'shift weight' to back foot, then would get stuck and a bunch of terrible stuff would happen. Putting this in action stat!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Hope it serves you well!!

[@jefferymarks7344]

The problem is when you say weight shift,people move back laterally and then forward laterally instead of turning.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Agreed!

[@roy87345]

Excellent ❤❤❤

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks!!

[@timmynuz3729]

Been playing for 8 months and I consistently break 90 on a solid day. This has been my struggle. My arms are almost behind my body as I turn my hips so fast and early. I end up getting disconnected and my missing are thin shots that ruin holes. And I lock out my from leg to early leading me to almost swing up or have a bad spine angle at impact

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Hey Timmy! Find a good coach to work with or send us in your swings to we can see WHY thats happening and show you how to fix!!

[@bonscottrocks1728]

Let's freaking go boys 😎🏌️

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:)

[@haydenbriggs]

I'd love to see Grant and Jake Knapp get together and have a discussion about their swings.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

That would be great!!

[@EricRalston-gm1wk]

Something I’m doing much better now is controlling the shift more…I was thinking power would come from much more movement laterally instead of taking it easy and letting the club do the work. Don’t need to kill the golf ball

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Yep!!

[@jayboek2854]

The weight shift is tough. Some people say to shift weight. Some say pressure. And some say just leave weight on front foot the whole time. Its tough if u do shift to do it on time and not late. The swing happens so fast i know im late.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Good points!

[@61JZ]

Eric, are you somewhat backing off the stack and tilt system? Or would you still prefer stack and tilt as your primary teaching focus? Because weight shift certainly goes against stack and tilt philosophy.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Hey! I dont have any hard and set rules (never have). I like the player to start about 50/50 or 60/40 left with an iron. Then there is a pressure shift in feet to right to about 70-80% by around lead arm parallel (note thats pressure in feet not mass of body). From there everything working forward ... Heres another good one on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maK2qmaNjqhrfrM

[@ParaquatSC]

The old stack and tilt coming back ay

[@yungharvey6725]

Could yall do a video about how to fix throwing your hip out early?

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

That would be a good one for the future! Check this one! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3bRaoublsetbc0&pp=ygUcRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIGVhcmx5IGV4dGVuc2lvbg%3D%3D

[@Alexb_1775]

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

thanks alex!

[@Tang.Nguyen_Music]

It is an easy concept hard to acquire. It is therefore better to viewers if the video demonstrates some practical drills.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks for watching and the feedback!!

[@RC-ol7eg]

Grant is a 21 handicap hack. Jk. That dude is smooth as peanut butter. I’m jealous. Good info and will try to work on this.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Lol :)

[@jumpguyty]

Great video! Is it just me, or is that ball getting teed up like a fairway wood? Maybe my eyes are playing tricks, but I've always viewed teeing up an iron as just trying to give yourself a preferred lie, vs. floating it. Thanks again for the great content.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Appreciate it! We tee up when filming so we can keep the cameras set in one place and dont have to move around due to the divots :)

[@jumpguyty]

@@PerformanceGolfZone makes sense! Thanks for the clarification 🙏🏻 really enjoy your content.

[@ChrisMao-oe9ze]

@5:24 the weight is already shifted to the trail side for the load or to the lead side? Good stuff here!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Already shifted to trail side on way back and then lead side early downswing

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Would be fun!! :)

[@Dan-zq5wt]

What do I make of “stack and tilt” videos on You Tube?

[@stevemurphy9727]

I understand the right hip goes back on the takeaway. My problem is on the downswing when my left hip ‘slides’ to towards the target, leaving the face open to target. When I stand over the ball at address, I try to think of imaginary sticks coming out of the ground outside both my right and left foot and I am turning within the sticks on takeaway and downswing. I guess that’s wrong based on this video? Thanks.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Hey Steve! I think thats an OK thought......want to make sure you get enough TURN with that slide in downswing tho... More on that herE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4C9i31pfNKeptk&pp=ygUWRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIGhpcCBzbGlkZQ%3D%3D kzbin.info/www/bejne/raDTXp6GZq-Vmas&pp=ygUbRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIGRvd25zd2luZyBoaXBz

[@treasurecollectables1046]

i had the same thoughts recently, i realised it wasnt rotating, i was shifting my weight across, and not rotating at all meaning my hands were doing all the work and the face was either wide open or a massive hook coz the hands would beat my body, i didnt realise rotating the body would help with the shaft lean at impact and squaring it up.

[@jnewb]

Grant is such a great teacher

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Haha I hear ya! Trying to keep it as simple as possible while still educating!

[@bullspun3594]

​@@PerformanceGolfZone Haha I hear you right back, I'm a student of Moe Norman as much as I can be and he's got a very similar swing to Bryson DeChambeau. The way both of them got to similar ideas is night and day haha. One is very scientific the other just able to develop a set of feels to hit the ball straight often. I think the weight shift and a ton of the ideas in this are phenomenal by the way! I'd say though there was more opportunity to explore the actual feels of the shift. Grant is a great hybrid where he gives a lot of feels and technique and some of the most interesting bits were with you bouncing off feel ideas that Grant, or I never really thought about like the weight does shift very early or Grant breaking down why he likes to feel moving left into the ball vs the feeling he gets of hanging back. Thanks for replying and cool video!

[@kj475]

It's so cool to hear Donald Trump announce Grant on the 10th tee.

[@infamouscircuits]

No amateur can swing/strike an iron like a Tour Pro, these guys are doing a whole different sport compared to people who started Golf in their 30ies etc. or people who play two or three times a week. I am teachig Tennis lessons for adults and to be honest with the clients, I have to make clear, that they will never hit a forehand like Alcaraz or a serve like Zverev. You have to start very early to build up the muscle memories for a great technique. You can improve, but never to a Tour or Pro like level...

[@treasurecollectables1046]

definitely wrong about this. Watching golf live and watching some weekend hackers, ive definitely seen the same shots. I can do it myself from time to time too. Only difference is consistency. But amateurs can definitely hit tour level shots.
