[@GrantHorvatTeaches]

Huge thanks to Sean Foley for doing this. An Unbelievable amount of knowledge from this video

[@joe-ek9ob]

This dude is a terrible coach, you should keep him away from your swing

[@BidenIsKing]

Very cool! You should have Hank Haney on and Butch Harmon before they pass away!

[@mylesfecundo8240]

Butch Harmon has a better method than them

[@Swagmaster7]

I did these drills today at range and it helped me so much. Takes out so many variables in the swing. Good stuff!

[@SouthernUtahGolfAcademy]

@@BidenIsKing I'm with you on Butch... Not so much Hank.

[@turfinteractionsgolf]

Hey Grant, your teaching videos are full of fantastic information. Please mention to your camera operators and editors that here on the teaching channel close ups are less important. We need to see what the club is doing. In this video, and in others you've done in the past, it happens regularly that either yourself or one of your guests holds a club while talking about the club head and the camera view is from knee high up and we can't see what is being explained. The material on your channel is so good, it could be reference material for players looking for tips for years and years to come so please pay attention to this in the future to make your videos even more useable.

[@Otowngolf73]

GH! This is serious man….Went out in front and did exactly this. No hinge, use big muscles, ball further back, low ball flight and sick spin. Take more club and hit it further with the same swing. This is GOLD brother. Thanks GH! ⛳️ 🙏 🇺🇸

Awesome video guys! Sean is great....so many golden nuggets in there! I dig the more raw/unedited version here....save Sky some time :) and cool to see all the real interactions in between!

The joke about him stealing Tiger's practice routine to tell his other players was top notch. Great video.

By far one of my favorite teaching video’s to date!! I hit some shots like this what a difference. Thanks Grant & Sean.

What a nice man Sean is and very articulate on his teaching method, I am very impressed. And kudos to you Grant for bringing Sean on your channel to help you and us learn this shot.

[@BugattiDane]

I implemented this “straigher arm” on wedges swing literally hours after seeing this and immediately regained my ability to spin my 3/4 and mid wedge shots. Glorious

[@riverkuhn8756]

As a golf coach, Sean Foleys teachings helped me find my identity in my own teaching. The philosophies he is teaching is so spot on a creates such a simple, efficient, connected swing.

[@jonaskarlsson6164]

I don't understand all the coach hate comments. He may or may not have been a great partnership with TW, but it's clear he's a world-class coach and this was very informative.

[@MichaelJones-ff9gb]

It's because he peddles that garbage teaching aid.....Golfers will buy just about anything.

[@ianporzondek4414]

You mean the garbage teaching aid that the best players in the world use to improve their game?​@@MichaelJones-ff9gb

[@MidwestFarmToys]

Exactly. Try coaching someone who was already the greatest the game had ever seen in any sport. It's pretty hard to improve them that last 1%, it doesn't mean he's a crappy coach

[@markturner3821]

I’m with you- why all the hate comments. I’ve taken several lessons from a half a dozen teachers and all were helpful. And I still have lessons to take that are prepaidthat I’ve yet to take. I may not be very good, but I have the lowest score of our weekend foursome more than my fair share of the time and I hold the lowest score so far. The majority of golfers do not take lessons on a consistent basis and wonder why they don’t improve. KZbin lesson maybe helpful but probably not because most are not able to diagnose their own swing. If weekend golfers would take 1 lesson every quarter I believe they would improve. Sean is a great teacher, he knows physics, body mechanics, the golf swing. You will see those teaching aids everytime you see foley or one of his pros on the range. Duh, if you use them they will work. If you don’t want to buy them, make your own and stop whining. This is America-home of capitalism. We should all be grateful to Sean for sharing his time or Grant if he had to pay Sean. Either way I’m grateful.

[@teaganmuis5761]

This video is absolute gold. I set up the sticks just like that and removed the hinge from my swing. Flighted draw one after the other on and on. Great simple technique to drill.

[@SouthernUtahGolfAcademy]

Really good lesson with a ton of information. You can make this a bit more simple. Grant, you play golf with really soft wrists. It's what makes your swing look beautiful and effortless. But we don't hit every shot the same way. Especially when you get inside about a hundred yards. You need to control the trajectory and distance much more on those shorter shots. Foley is absolutely right in that we do that by using much less hinge in our wrists. Adjusting how much weight to move to your lead foot before impact will help determine trajectory. You can hit a high or low shot with dead wrists by controlling your low point with your weight distribution at impact. You want to improve... watch Steve Stricker. He's the dead wrist king.

[@goinforeit]

As soon as this ended, I immediately jumped into the sim, grabbed my ProSENDR, a couple of alignment sticks, and got to work. This is the feel I've been after for months.

[@JohnStrandt]

Sean mentions everyone but the obvious - Steve Stricker.

[@user-bg1gs1kq8l]

Jason Day..

[@frankymr2]

what helped me on my wedges is trying to pitch with my woods , D then 3w . it makes my pitching swing longer and on the path the coach is saying . I remember in highshool when i played and was waiting so we could tee off,. i just chip the ball with the driver from the blue tees to the white tees . It also helped me stand taller during pitch shots.

[@jamescole4183]

That was an excellent lesson. Reduce the variables and improve the consistency. I had a similar lesson a year ago and my wedge game has gone from a weakness to a strength.

[@danmartin3402]

This was amazing! I have been searching for how to flight my wedges and this is the absolute best lesson I have seen on the subject. I play in the wind quite often and this will really improve my game in the inside 100 yds shots. Earned you a sub and Thank you!

[@jdwild1698]

That was amazing teaching and simple principles for better ball striking and control , learned a ton ! Thanks guys and more teaching from Sean please 👍😎

[@asagers]

The Pro SENDER has dramatically improved my timing and ball striking this year. I over hinge at the top of my backswing and this thing instantly provided the feeling of where my trail hand needs to be.

[@jaxongolf]

I really love watching two incredibly skilled and knowledgeable golf professionals go at it in a range session: literally a treasure trove of excellent information. Thanks Grant; thanks Sean!

[@cgbach]

Well said brother

[@HeroFever]

I would imagine this would be a great thought for driver too only setting up with ball forward and spine tilt. Wide arc with lower spin.

Talking about fuller flighted shots. Clearly he’s good with a chipping around the green

[@phoenixdoglover9403]

A little perspective from a 24 hcp golfer. I got the ProSendr and the squishy ball. Paid the $170. My irons were steep. I dug major irrigation trenches with my wedges. I just practiced at the range with the wrist cuff, and I changed my pre-shot routine to include a little practice takeaway with the wrist set at that angle. So far, in 6 months I have dropped about 5 strokes in my hcp index. I think there is improvement remaining. We shall see. The $170 was equivalent to 3 lessons. I still have the device, and I can always pass it on to a friend when I'm done with it. But you don't need the device. You can always just work on maintaining your wrist set without a device, and you can buy a cheap nerf ball to help you keep your arms connected. Hope these comments help.

[@stephenhawking34]

Could also just be playing more. 24 can drop pretty quickly

[@carlfreslov1531]

I think 170 is pretty unreasonable compared to similar options on Amazon for 30/40?!

[@victorpang2409]

Sean is just a legendary coach....period. Thanks for the vid, G.

[@Nigel3005]

Fully agree with what Sean Foley said - if you look at Scottie, Bryson and Xander, they have the least amount of wrist set but everyone is paying attention to their feet. I bought the Prosendr and it is a miracle - as Sean mentioned, I came from a time where more wrist hinge / set was encouraged. Now the Prosendr is limiting my wrist hinge and forcing me to use my big muscles - a lot more consistent and I'm hitting it further. FYI Ludvig is another limited wrist hinge guy.

[@turotommola9943]

It is crazy that this is free for everyone to watch! Thank you

[@tonytitado6478]

Guys... This was hands down, the best short game lesson i've ever seen! G, you have to master this technique....it will 100% impress Wesley. Thanks guys!

This was a terrible short game lesson. This guy is just full of himself and can’t go 5 minutes without mentioning tiger

[@Sean_Farmer]

I love seeing this Grant. You have such a good game and tempo and refining these little things is going to make you even more of a threat when playing against Wesley and many of the pros you have on your channel. having the confidence this will give you is going to be huge! I'm really looking forward to seeing you use this in the weeks and months ahead.

[@ProblemChild-xk7ix]

Fred Couples swing was a thing of beauty. It looks so perfectly natural.

[@jimmythorpe65]

This was great, there’s a lot that handicap golfers can take away from this. But everyone is too worried about Tiger not winning a major around 2010 😂

[@BurkyGolf]

Really cool to listen to a top tier instructor like Sean give information on "cause & effect" with the golf swing. Everyone can benefit from taking this information and incorporating it into their wedge play. Great content here Grant. 👍

[@andreivelikopoljski1518]

What a fun video, Foley is a legend! You probably won’t see this, but can you post a video teaching how to fully transfer through on a golf swing? I’ve been playing for a couple years and outside of other things I need to work on, I feel like this part is the one holding me back. I don’t know if it’s a mental block or not but I can not finish on the front foot for the life of me. If anyone else sees this and wants to chime in please feel free. Thanks!
