As an amateur, only half decent equipment is required. With a $500 set, bought about a dozen years ago, I hit just as well as anyone else who shoots 85 or over. So much of money spent...is more about ego....than real actual performance improvement. My guess is that most could never even measure any significant improvement....from spending thousands of dollars on new stuff. In the end, the ego of having expensive clubs.....is largely just a big joke.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Once your learn how to really use it, good equipment is important.

One of my friends, late 60's but shoots low 70's gets hus clubs from thrift stores, garage sales, you name it. He tells me the same thing as you and beaten me almost always. He's a big fan of Jimmy, too. I a. Stuck out of state, and have his old 56° mizzuno that's old but still is great and a sa. Snead 3i I bought for $4 at goodwill. I can hit the 3i off the deck, pretty straight, but I promise there is no way it compares to new tech. Good equipment isn't the end, all be all, but it sure does work better in almost every situation in terms of distance, forgiveness, and shotshape. If you ever get an upgrade, you will appreciate tge better technology

[@joeidaho5938]

@@TropicanaEntertainment On the whole, I challenge that....unless you're actually at the pro level....or maybe up to 10 handicap, more or less,. The difference in performance between my clubs...and someone who spends $4,000 for their kit.....is likely very minimal...for a standard amateur golfer. I'm not talking about bargain bin clubs. I"m talking about clubs like my own......which is a $500 set...with a few additions to wedges and a few used upgrades....to the driver plus a 7 wood. On the whole, you can't tell me that the ,money spent....equates to real improvement. The biggest problem for amateurs....is simply consistency. After that is firmly established....then yes....the money spent probably adds in a little bit of improvement. My brother shoots constantly in the 80s or so....with all old clubs...and it's been decades since he ever bought anything new. Always buys used...and not very often at all. If you were to tell amateurs to come back to buy new clubs...when they can hit consistently, you would likely never see at least 95% of them ever again....lol. That is the point I'm making. Your consistency you show in your vids....is generally a rare thing on the golf course.

OMG Jimmy! I literally laughed and cried thru most of this! Hope so e of those "pros in their minds saw this, but then again they would t get it!! This vid should win an award for greatness!!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

hahaha. thanks!

[@tma6983]

Another great lesson! Basics, basics, basics! Love it.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com

[@BrandonSpears-s3u]

Thanks for what you do Jimmy. I’ve just started a couple years ago; consistency is a biggie for me. But your down to earth, unpretentious advice is helping; and with regards to putting,: you’ve single-handedly made me a killer from anywhere on the green. 3 putts are all but a thing of the past. And the “wave at the camera” is starting to click as well. Can’t thank you enough.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

you've got it. golf is going to get real good. keep practicing. thanks for watching

[@claytonsgraphics]

This was hilarious! I started being able to play good golf the minute I realized that all I need was basic fundamentals and was never going to be Tiger Woods! A friend told me a long time ago that I should be able to use a broomstick to play bogie golf and he was right. You are the man!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Awesome! Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it

[@johnburt3908]

Jimmy, I Love your content. I like the way you teach, I like it when you team up with Manolo, I like it when you play with the other guy (please forgive me I can't remember his name.) Funny hispanic gentleman with a thick accent. But recently you've started shooting videos with your daughter, and I think that is very special. I hope that you keep it up. Thanks Again.

Hi Jimmy, very good fundamental video. Take care, Ron Pagliaro

Thanks Ron

Jimmy, Thank you. Best golf instruction on KZbin. Still playing my Ping Eye 2's from the 80's !

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Wow. Loved those clubs!

[@roldy943]

Moral of the story is maybe pay for a good putter? 😂

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

that would def help!

[@keithhinson4638]

You are crazy brother. I love it. I need to quit making excuses and just enjoy the game. Thanks again.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Youre correct! Thanks for watching!

[@danpost6418]

The videos are great Jimmy! This morning I shot one of my best rounds in three weeks. More improvement on my side needed. I have a question for you, I'm 65 and have some back issues. This is affecting me and my driver. I'm only getting 150-155 off the tee. Now going much straighter thanks to you. I haven't had a chance to check all your videos, I was wondering if you have anything for improving yardage? I see my local pro twice, but I still hitting short. I hit 6/7 fairways this morning and 15-25 yards more off the tee would reduce my score more. You do great work.

[@robfortunato1349]

Oh Jimmy, great video abd top flight is a good ball 😆

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Lol

[@tommyfarley463]

Purchased a 69, Jimmy. Gonna be my 14th club.

[@PaulRuwe-ep9ig]

Do you look at the back of the ball or the front of the ball?

[@billbyrnes9505]

1996. I bought a set of Calloway X12's. Have since bought a new driver,big berth a war bird just was not getting it. Roughly a ten handicap, can shoot a 38, up to a 54. Depending. Would really like a new set, but would they help? Or, should i, Practice, practice, practice?

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

As a ten handicap, good new technology will help you. Buy a set of 2022 irons and last years driver. Thanks for watching -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com

[@robfortunato1349]

Im in brother. I forgot my email password, but I found it.

[@briannagle6328]

Jimmy I have Not stopped Smiling watching you Prove a point to all of Us That 95% is in our mind and 5% on the equipment and as Long as we are able to transfer just How simple the game can be No Matter how expensive or Inexpensive the equipment you use...Simplicity Looks Like the answer I'm guessing....Still Smiling Though especially with your New Belly Putter🤣🤣

[@gerdamarsh]

Fun to watch. This week I played 9 holes with my old clubs (kind of a tryout) and did well. I think one is more relaxed as expectations are lowered.

[@SirRob24]

Jimmy, I got good news! And I got bad news. Taking my gap wedge, ball back of stance, swinging the V, I can finally hit the green from 100 yards out. Hit the green from 100 yards 4 out of 9 holes today. Like, I actually had to repair pitch marks on the green. However.... Now I've completely forgotten how to putt so now for the first time in my life instead of averaging 2 putts per hole, I've been 3 and 4 putting everything so my scores are still the same. My putting confidence is completely gone now so that's a new one lol

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Keep your head down and dont try to make the putt. Just get it close. Theyll start going in.

[@SirRob24]

@@TropicanaEntertainment I've been having commitment issues. I'll do a couple practice swings to get the weight I want. Then setup to the ball. Pull back the putter and as soon as I start to bring it forward I second guess everything, slow down, and leave everything a mile short.

[@powerpath659]

[@CurtMoenter]

I was watching the US Senior open and your swing is very similar to Steve Stricker. Very good tips.

[@AndreiBgatov]

So speaking of the basics, Jimmy please tell me which foot should my weight be at each part of the swing. Thank you

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

A touch forward. Not much! Thanks for watching -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com

[@AndreiBgatov]

@@TropicanaEntertainment So not like you were chipping with the V, standing on one left leg?

[@rickwilliams6922]

When you do your 69 wedge shot with the arms staying in the V shape what's the ball position?

[@billgalante1181]

Jimmy, another great video and lesson, so simply and pure!

[@kevettmickle6064]

How are you able to play alone so often?
