How to Stop Slicing the Golf Ball and Hit Penetrating Shots

BDog got the full treatment from Eric Chong
/ impactgolfmy
This is his range session. We still have a short game session and putting session. The simlpicity which which Eric is able to solve root cause problems in a swing is remarkable. This entire day was so valuable to BDog. He got his confidence back to hit high handsome shots. His wedges stopped going 130 yards 10 feet off the ground. He was able to hit it straighter and from the center of the face. Wait for his short game sessions!

Please place Eric, very gently mind you, into a small box and have him shipped to my home in the states. I will feed him regularly and take good care of him I promise. He is one of the best teachers I've seen.

There's an incredible amount of top lessons on youtube and in all seriousness i don't think any are better handled than Eric's. So simple, so straight to the point and so effective. He's just a joy to watch. Once you go Chong you'll be singing his song.

I’m happy BDOG is on the right path to fix his swing. Looking forward to viewing future rounds of you two.

[@samuelmccanless3087]

Matt thank you to you and Eric for this video. Two weeks ago I shot 107 this past Wednesday I shot a 87. In 20-25 mph wind. Due to my cancer and physical ability right now I'm not a long hitter but I got more distances on all clubs and I hit 12\14 fairways 6 GIR and 4 pars. Thank you for your channel and content. God bless. Keep up the awesome channel.

[@roadtoscratchgolf3481]

Love how Eric explains the swing mechanics and drills. So difficult to find a coach that you can trust, who'll really help you improve, and not see you just as a meal ticket. BDog. Cheers.

[@simeonbrown3712]

I love hearing Matt's excitement in the background. Sums up the beauty of golf getting excited when the person your playing with does something amazing.

[@GolfSidekick]

to show someone that would take away the recurring income of more lessons

[@jazzt3839]

@@GolfSidekick had 3 lessons with a “pro” near to me because I was struggling with the occasional shank appearing which would set off a run of about 12 shanked shots on the course before I managed to band-aid it, and never really solved the issue. Went for my first lesson with a great coach nearby to get help with my driver, and within the first 5 minutes of warming up for our lesson he’d fixed my shanks with a simple set up change.. then went on to help me massively with my driver throughout the hour. Instead of giving me repeat bookings for a lesson like my previous coach, he’s instead given me a couple of drills and feels to work on, and wants regular video updates to help me out between my lesson 3 weeks ago, and my next which isn’t even booked yet because he’s happy to let me figure it out on my own until I can’t get any further without another lesson - all for a lesson that cost £10 more. It’s definitely about finding the right coach like Eric here who isn’t just interested in repeat bookings!

I watch another coach on YT by the name of Adam Porzak. I see many parallels with Eric’s set up foundations ! The modern swing is so very different from what I grew up on but wish I had this type growing up…so much easier on my back and still efficient and powerful! Great content GS!👊🏼

[@wanderingbrummie]

I could listen to Eric explaining things all day.

[@GolfSidekick]

Me too. And I did.

[@Not.Satoshi]

What I really like about his teaching style is he identifies big problem areas that need to be addressed first, which is the same as most good lessons, but then he communicates what will need work after the main problem is addressed. This is so important because it gives more confidence to the student to continue to work on the initial issues even though they might still be struggling a bit. It also gives them an awareness of what is actually broken and what not to mess with. I wish I had lessons like this.

[@NoVaCharlie]

Eric is a genius. The end.

[@pcrcruse]

Not only a great coach, but he takes time to respond to his WhatsApp. Much respect, this one lesson has completely transformed my game.

Wow Matt! World Class is exactly right! Eric really helped BDog transform his swing in short order. This video is a real treat and VERY instructional. Thank you, Eric and BDog for sharing it. I imagine it will help a lot of playas, myself included.

[@TerdFerguson]

Just gave you a $5 tip. I just got back from the range and really exaggerated the feel and forced myself to get in the "body geometry" he referenced and for the first time I was hitting high draws with way less effort that I did a couple of days ago on the course. I've been trying to unlock the secret for years and Eric opened my eyes.

[@ThePhilStoops]

So good. I am going through a similar swing transition/correction and it’s been challenging. All of this instruction/adaptation/correction is spot on and I’m looking forward to seeing how BDog progresses. I feel like we are kindred spirits on the same journey. His comments and impressions of how he feels with the ‘corrected’ swing were mine as well.

Poor BDog. Got to buy another driver. Must be his 14th in 5 years!

This one was my sisters. His prior one was too low loft from a terrible fitter. Gave him a 7.5° or something. Stupid. So it’s time to get this guy a driver that fits him

[@duffer0309]

Great Video. Now if all coaches were like Eric life would be wonderful. My experience only a few go to the root cause and ask you to do things you can’t do without addressing the root cause or if the root cause is your lack of flexibility give you advice taking into account your physical abilities.

[@antoniot5413]

You got him with the driver drill.... I couldn't stop laughing, bloody hilarious : )

[@MrNicolas61]

Bdawg had the same problems I do here. Hit my shorter irons pretty well but suck on anything longer. Great timing for me to see this.

So cool to see BDog taking to these tips, this has been the best he’s swung the club on the channel over the years! Now to get that on the course and maintain the trust.

[@GolfSidekick]

It’s a true story of bravery

[@kshitijkumar2795]

I don't think there's a lesson so impactful yet so simple on KZbin. Getting deep with proper rotation is one thing I have struggled with ever since I picked up the game last year and Eric makes the most sense in the world. Eagerly watching this space because once you go Chong you only go long!

[@anttisavolainen547]

Shit!! i thought that you should not move hips back (rotate). But only sway and open forward ..left open. And tes i Slice some. Those tips really gives room for the club and swing. i must have understood some tuber wrong!!

[@mcpappysgolden]

BDog, I fight exactly the same flaw - not being rotary enough, and reverse tilting. Interestingly though, I hit the ball high as hell - too high - with all of my clubs. I suppose this must be the result of flipping with my hands?

[@fedeled87]

I think Eric, and this video, just saved my life. Great explanation.

This was top-class instruction! I watched this video last week for the first time and something just made more sense to me. I was able to apply it at the range, and so far, I've had some pretty incredible results. I am hitting more consistently and hitting higher and longer shots. Haven't hit the course yet, but I feel more confident in my swing than I ever have. Keep up the great content!

[@GolfSidekick]

Man always good to hear this

[@Dimmydimdim77]

@Golf Sidekick I just wanted to circle back to this comment and share some progress updates. This explanation of rotation has gotten me to a point of consistency that I've never had. My best score ever is a 92 (couple of times). Yesterday, I shot a 93 with 42 putts (freakin 7 3 putts and a 4 putt on 18). It's not typical that I have that many putts, but the point is that my full swing was treating me very well! I will break 90 soon, just time to put most of my focus on putting. Thanks again for what you do, I always look forward to seeing your videos!

Love your passion. I'm a 70 year old Aussie golf tragic. I've watched more videos that are on KZbin. I knew the importance of the elbow position. Look at Peter Thomson 5 times British Open winner. Btw, I was the last to interview him. I'm off to the range to practise this. Watch this space!

[@larsclausen9616]

The best training video I have ever seen on KZbin, I would like to see a video whether the training success is confirmed on the round of golf. Cheers

[@GolfSidekick]

Have to work on it off the course for hours.

[@jasonkelley6185]

BDog’s setup is contributing to him thrusting his hips forward. Would benefit from “looking over the fence” instead of “sitting down on the stool.” That’s the easiest change to get more space. Eric’s change probably fixed more things, but I hope setup and rotating the left hip back are next. He feels like he has room now!

[@AlexanderStolberg]

Great Video. Exactly what I am working on. ONE QUESTION: I do this drill with a tour stick behind me (it's in the angel of my club at adress position. To make sure I don't hit it in my back swing.). Here is the question. If I turn like you describe it here...I would hit the tout stick? I would really appreciate a response. Thanks so much from Germany :)

[@stiannothnagel8062]

Hi Eric. I'm from South Africa. I've been out of golf for 12+ years. I'm also a golfer that's struggling to get the ball in the air. I've been watching KZbin videos but must give you credit. I will apply your lessons.

[@bringingtherukas7473]

After watching all your recent course vids and seeing how good you are, this has been great to watch and see how much improvement there’s been in a short space of time.

[@iupab]

OMG I think I hit the lotto! Everything covered is exactly my problem! But the communication is infinitely better! My coach identified this problem for me but hasn’t communicate the fix clearly. I crush irons when I’m i with him but the next day I’m back to my old swing. Now I see that I have resisted turning my hips correctly actually if that makes since. Thanks for this excellent video. I love the “comment “ don’t worry about the downswing transition is you get the backswing correct”

[@wayneroberts5418]

I have always been taught to start the downswing by sliding my hips forward. This has always been difficult for me because of the "hit impulse" at the top.... my mind doesn't want to wait. With this method, my hips will already be forward at the top and I can let my natural impulse go. This is genius. WR

[@chicosarod]

Why does this look like Ryu throwing a fireball or dbz. The way you pull back into holding the fireball and extend to release.

[@ChuckS7546]

Excelent lession! Easy to understand. Eric does a fantastic job of identifying (what's wrong) and transforming (greatly improving) a golf swing in his student (BDOG). I know this video will help me with my swing because I have similar (swing errors) tendencies in my game. Just this simple lesson of getting into a reverse "K" position in the backswing does address a lot a swing errors that I will avoid in the back and forward swing. Errors such as "weight shift", freeing up space in the backswing, and shallowing out the club in the downswing. Love this one!

[@Kridian01]

They always say, _"If it feels weird, you're doing it right."_ Good nuggets in this.

[@ronburgundy8174]

This was a fantastic lesson to watch. The great thing about this instructor is that he spoke just enough to convey what he wanted BDog to do to get his swing right and then let him execute. So many instructors get caught up in talking, and hearing themselves talk, that the student just ends up listening more than actually swinging the club. Not here.....kudos on a great lesson.

[@metalheads-golf]

Eric is a baus, ... the open clubface and seeing how much is something I can take with me. I deloft too much as trust is not there. Great training session. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@badebw]

Dude. This was amazing. I’ve been struggling with finding the right “takeaway” with way too much going through my head. This simplified it completely and I discovered a more in-out swing. Luv it. Feels good but now I need to get a better attack angle with this approach.

[@geoffreypleavin5268]

Excellent instruction, I’m finally understanding where and how to get the hands where they should be in the back swing. Love it.

[@kenw134]

Thank you for sharing this lesson. My issues are very similar to B-Dog’s and thus some of the adjustments from Eric C really hit home for me. First time swinging with some emphasis on the pivot and hip turn connected the dots for me. I never felt freer with the swing and it simplified the swing to make it easier to repeat. I’ve never put such a good move on the ball with much less effort. Thank you Matt and Eric for everything. Time to practice and make this second nature.

[@MrJoel9679]

Greatest coaching video of all time!!!! BDog needs to create a KZbin account named disbelief. That hip move made me think of the first time i hit high speed baseballs in a net. Naturally cocked that hip forward and body rotated. Pumped for the weekend!!!!!

Saw a glimpse of this video this weekend, and couldn't find it again...! Now I understand why 😅

[@davidpaulin8865]

Eric deserves a big thank you from me. Copied the hip turn to stop the reverse pivot and guess what no back pain and shot 40 over 9 holes as opposed to the normal 45.
