HOW TO STOP HITTING HEEL SHOTS - Hit The Golf Ball Pure

[@cactusjackaz8920]

Thank you. I’ve struggled for a solid week trying to fix my heel strikes. 30 seconds after watching your video I found my swing again. Thanks again.

[@parkershure2333]

1 week! 😂

[@donaldhou9295]

Fantastic instructions! I’ve seen dozens if not hundreds of videos on KZbin for problem solving of heel striking, and this is THE best one!

[@jchowngolf]

Awesome to hear Donald! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Dolfandad79]

Thank you so much! I’ve been battling heel strikes and shanks for months!! I never even noticed on film my trail arm extending on the downswing (#3) and no other videos I found on shanks talked about this. Holy cow! Just making sure my trail arm stayed bent led to a complete fix and in fact I’m hitting the ball much more pure!! Amazing!

[@PaulPGR]

This has to be the best explanation of this shot I have ever seen. I struggle with this a lot but, it never dawned on me it could be a straight arm at impact and now it makes more sense to me. Thanks JC, appreciated!

[@andrewrosebrough3351]

Thank you! I don’t usually comment on videos but this seriously has been the most helpful video I have watched on KZbin for my golf swing. I couldn’t understand why I kept hitting the heel of my club suddenly in my game. I was so frustrated I wanted to snap my clubs every time it happened. I went through these drills in my living room and my new swing thought is to keep my upper torso pointed away from the target for just a little longer. It has made all the difference!

[@michaelharber3946]

Your instructional video are the only ones that have helped me. You make it simple, and I've reduced my handicap by 4 strokes.

[@buzzbuzzer9185]

I'm a single figure player and always struggle with heel strike. This instruction is the first time I've found anything that works. The 'bent arm' drill is transformational. I tried it for the first time today and my striking was centred and more-solid. Excellent instruction.

[@johnvinson6239]

This is the only video I found that properly addressed (and fixed) the heel shot problem I was having (lifting the right heel) - many thanks!

[@red_robster5337]

Thank you Jonathan. Every time I get into a bad swing habit, I can always find a great video from you on how to fix it. I was doing at least two of those shank bad habits. Thank you, been watching you for a year, you’ve helped me so much. Keep up the great work.

[@gustavnordlinder3347]

Tip number 2 was the one for me! Thank u soooo much for the video and helping me with my swing! Love from Sweden

[@jchowngolf]

My pleasure bud! Glad it helped 👍🏼

[@Jras7771]

Thank you so much. I’ve been struggling for over a year. Use to be a 15 handicap and became a 30. Completely lost it. Went to a golf simulator and found out I was heeling it on nearly every shot. Watched this video and my game has been fixed. I seriously can’t thank you enough.

[@aerodynamicist4]

The simulators have been the best tool I have ever used for finding out where I'm going wrong in my swing and fixing it. Even though they are expensive ($50 per hour where I go) they are worth it if you want to improve your swing anf see where you need to fix

[@sicarroll1]

Great video and description ... Defo my problem, maybe even all 3. I'll be down the range tomorrow with this video. Thanks

[@Danny-qk2cs]

Wow that was a quick 1k subs! Way to go, you deserve it!!

[@jockblaney]

Thank you!!! This solved the problem that showed up a few days ago. Thanks again!!

[@badkermit180]

Thanks. Number 3 is exactly what I’m doing. Straightening the trail arm too early

[@jeffpowell7915]

Thanks Jonathan, detailing these possible causes and drills are a great help. Just love the speed of delivery and demos.

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks Jeff! Awesome to hear you like my style of delivering info 🤙🏻

[@mattcostello655]

Wish i saw this sooner! I've been really struggling, and I've been doing the knee bend and extending my right arm a smidge too early. Thanks for sharing this.

[@samuelpress8129]

Great video. I had 3 consistent strikes in exactly same spot, near the hosel. After trying your first fix, my first mark was by the toe, and next two were perfect!! Well done.

[@Bswitch1]

Best explanation of potential reasons for hosel rockets and drills to fix it. I think I’m guilty of problems 2 and 3. Thank you, sir.

[@niallmcstay9938]

Mate literally changed my game with this. Two practice swings and it just clicked. Unreal!

[@therealtonelocs]

Walked off the course this week because I got the shanks. Thanks king!

[@ItsMattHarper]

Dude, great video. Just watched a slow mo of my swing, and the heel tip was exactly what I’m doing

[@michaeldevine660]

Thanks I do all three of these and I’m a scratch golfer. I’m 37 and been playing since I was 5. Play competitive golf tournaments all over still. It’s so hard to swing when I’m thinking mentally not shanking it or heeling it. I have inner wear mark on my 8i since I’ve been having this problem over a year now. I think rehearsing the drills in slow motion before hitting a ball is a good idea. If you can’t do it in slow motion then you definitely can’t do it in real time. Thanks for the drills. I have 8 important mid am golf tournaments this year so far and tired of missing the cuts

[@nickinportland]

Yup I do the heel lift thing. Nice to actually see it this helps. I don’t do it normally but towards the end of a round if I’m kinda worn out. Probably not a problem in the UK but it gets hot here in the US and it can be rough the last couple holes when you are trying to put it away. Thank you!

[@OscarGonzalez-vg3cp]

Thanks very much. All the drills to fix bad posture swing. Good tips.

[@rlmonson]

Thank you thank you thank you. This haunts me and rears it’s ugly head frequently. Minutes after watching this I went to the range and worked hard to fix it. Within 3 swings, like magic my strikes were much more centered. Incidentally, could you please tell me your first name. Your accent prevents me from being able to understand it. My apologies for being unable to understand. Please keep up the great work! You seem to post videos that address the issues I’m having at the exact same time. Your content is magic to me. Love it!

[@royclose946]

This is probably one of the best videos ever 🏌🙂👍

[@aussiegolfer2919]

Great video mate , I’m in a lot of trouble heeling my irons and shanking lately , will try this

[@sean_baldyga_2076]

#2 has been huge for me in eliminating heel contact and the shanks! Thanks for the help!

[@conorhovland2798]

I fixed my heel shots recently by just setting up with the ball at the heel, which forced me to drop my hands on the down swing. This allowed me to hit the ball more square.

[@danieldupreez2993]

By just watching this video I know my swing is going to be fixed. Thank you man.

[@mickeygmonahan]

great explanation. I really appreciate it, I think I do all 3 on occasion.

[@jibba0jabba1]

Great vid!! Looks like my trail arm extends at impact which is causing my heel and shank shots. Never would’ve been able to figure this out myself. Tommy Fleetwood drill… here we come Edit: you’ve got 1 more sub 👍🏻

[@franklins.davisjr.3869]

Thank you for your great golf videos, they are very informative. I enjoy the content, keep up the good work... God bless!

[@tohmsono5081]

3rd reason is like you were describing me :) awesome stuff bro, cheers for this

[@jchowngolf]

Glad you liked it 👍🏼

[@aniesdad1168]

I think you saved my swing with this. Great content. 2nd and 3rd drill. I think the second caused the third.

[@michaelsaville7485]

Best explanation! Makes perfect sense!

[@stevecollins5033]

Excellent explanation. I somehow started heel striking and occasionally shanking, idk what happened. Gonna take this to the range, see if i can cure it.

[@jgrudenicstrumpet4369]

An aha moment. My problem is the last one. I could see it because of your instructions, thank you.

[@mostdeadlygeist]

can't wait to try this out. if the sweet spot of the club were the heel/hosel i'd be pro!

[@basic6154]

HAD A fitting,heel strikes prominent. Watched this ,the part about keeping the body facing back longer. Eureka,strike and distance so much better. THANK YOU

[@bazanexpress100]

Your videos seem to always hit the spot. Thx.

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks bud!

[@Karlos280187]

Brilliant instruction. Is there any way I can send you a video of my swing so I know which version of this I need to work on? Cheers Jonathan.

[@jchowngolf]

Hi Karl. Absolutely, you can send in videos to my Skillest profile skillest.com/app/profile/jonathan-chown

[@ianforsyth2090]

This is GOLD !

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks Ian 👍🏼

[@lenardtan7169]

Great video lesson

[@michaelmason9158]

Another 3 great drills. I am all in on all 3, but that first one will make me real nervous. Haha.

[@jchowngolf]

Haha have a good practice Michael!

[@edmoreno6926]

Would a reverse k setup help with this problem for some golfers? Level shoulders at setup seem to cause a reverse pivot or turning off the ball with club getting too deep for some people. I have had this problem with heel shots with longer clubs especially the driver. My heel shots were coming from a lunge move and getting closer to the ball as you demonstrated. Reverse k for me seem to help with sequencing and bracing of the forward side as it pushes into the ground and arms/club are propelled through through shot and towards the target. I was frustrated with heel shots because I did not know why, your explanation is key to future problems if they come back.

[@jonnygriffiths7668]

Ahh man you read my mind this is the lesson I need atm

[@jchowngolf]

Glad you liked it 🤙🏻

[@trevorhenwood5219]

Great video !

[@trainerpa1961]

Thank you very much, your videos are excellent, how to learn golf with you, regards

[@stevelumpkin2119]

What brand is the cage you have set up here

[@MrDent495]

Excellent 👍

[@ht6501]

Great tips Jonathan thanks for sharing but can you tell me which arm is the strongest through impact? Does the left arm pull the right or does the right arm push the left or are they equal pressures at impact? Cheers mate.

[@dvnstone]

My coach has been trying to help me with this exact issue. Not one of these drills have been discussed. I'm literally wasting my money!

[@lifesaver3499]

yes u r!! most pros just say stand farther from the ball like we couldnt think of it..i would just take vid of your swing and send it to jonathan..his tips and methods are not seen elsewhere

[@50StatesGolfer]

Where can I get that alignment plate? Perfect for in the garage where I can not stab an alignment stick into the ground.

[@MattFosterGymnastics]

Thank you!

[@Frazer20]

Third one struck with me. I straighten the right arm coming into impact which I find incredibly difficult to rectify. It’s almost like a subconscious reaction. like sneezing or that automatic blinking when someone pretends to punch you.

[@lifesaver3499]

maybe your wife wasnt pretending?

[@rogernewton7831]

Good stuff. 😀

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks Roger!

[@Fuzzydel7]

Hey man, found your video by looking for heely shots... I used to play a lot of golf and got down to 4... But with a wife and kid, stopping playing as much, since lack of golf I have massive heel, pull, shanks... Driving me nuts... I don't feel that any of the issues on your vid ( great vid BTW) are my problem... I feel like I'm twisting club and coming down bit onto ball and I know my shanks are because face is ridiculously closed... But I just don't know how to solve it... Every YT vid I watch confuses me more... You got any vids for pull shanks lol

[@beserker204]

Great video

[@nelsonpaz7569]

you have just blown my mind, I thought after more than 20years of playing this wonderful game you were supposed to straighten both arms on the way down thru the swing. where were you 20 years ago amigo? I'll practice all 3 drills, if I win on sunday ill send you the money, we play for 25cts a hole so you will be getting about 2dls. thanks for the video information

[@richardlittlewood4307]

Great vid think I have all these faults to an extent

[@ogk3v665]

I could kiss you. I searched hard and couldn’t find the solution until I found this video. You’re the man! ❤

[@timothyhergert4199]

What club are you using in these demonstrations

[@zenshengtan1153]

What to do if we do not have the swing plate or whatever do we call that device thingy 😢

[@jacobward9442]

really helpful

[@rogerreid6801]

You are the man

[@NRY91]

Lately I've had the problem again and again after 8-9 holes I always hit with it and I just lost my momentum forgot whatever it's so bad for me that I had to stop two rounds recently because I just couldn't hit more and playing just didn't make sense anymore.

[@rw_golf6387]

I find it interesting that these same three issues can also lead to you losing your posture and struggling with toe strikes. Golf is so hard😊

[@k9feces]

Im out to in, when I control my upper body I can hit amazing shots. Then I get back into old habits and the shanks start again.

[@gkLA33]

Great vid! Sub’d

[@mitchellbonomi9309]

Why does my club head seem to close upon contact..

[@luctremblay1260]

Im hitting in my net so i was wondering what a flush heel shot would look like ball flight

[@hbyrdut]

Pretty sure I'm doing all 3 but I'm still hanging in there.

[@jchowngolf]

Hang in there bud haha

[@andyspey913]

Think I lift right heel and extend right arm!! 😢😢

[@miloradjelic7521]

😁👍

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks bud!

[@johnanderson6614]

That net would give me anxiety if I pushed one lol

[@johnt6810]

Weight moving to toes is the biggest one..

[@barneygermany530]

👌👍🥂

[@andremajewski5102]

I am in this video and I don't like it... Hahahaha

[@jchowngolf]

JChownGolf branded hard hats will be coming soon

[@Kyle-jb3hr]

That gap in the net is stressing me

[@jchowngolf]

There’s a back netting haha

[@lifesaver3499]

is that your backyard or back garden as they say in the UK over there?

[@mickydrippin3105]

We say both👍🏼

[@egolf8814]

Stand back a bit from ball.

[@davidarford3719]

ghastly accent

[@jasonholmes9252]

This is me all over at the moment! Thanks so much, makes great sense when you show it and explain it like this 🏌️‍♂️👍😎

[@eugenekennedy4762]

Excellent 👍🏻
