How To Swing A Golf Club: 3 Tips From Rickard Strongert

[@MB-dq5en]

You will not find a better golf instructor on KZbin than Rickard s. Excellent!

[@ivanramirez3028]

Where have you been?? I've taken classes, watched numerous coaches videos (paid subscriptions) and NO ONE kept it as simple to understand as this. I just came back from the range and found this video. That's exactly what happened to me. This will take care of it because is simple and is a no-nonsense lesson. THANK YOU!

[@CorekBleedingHollow]

148 people wanted more talking and less to the point.... Perfect! The Video jug way! That always puts a big smile on my face.

[@sledge1960]

Arguably the best instructional golf video on YT. It's a golf swing not a golf hit.

[@sledge1960]

It works my friend. The secret lies in rejecting all the negative information your brain is warning against, like learning to swim, nobody accepts easily that the water will support their body weight Allow the arms and hands to go limp, grip the club so it just rests in the fingers, it WILL NOT fly out of your hands, do a one-piece takeaway, cock the wrists at the hips and at the top allow the arms to follow the body rotation, you will be amazed. I certainly was.. You will see the ball launch twice as far with a fraction of the effort. A good posture is absolutely essential, no slouching and the neck should be away from the shoulders. It will give you an enjoyment of the game you never knew. There's not one golfer here who thought this would help them. Practice with an 8 iron on the range until you hit that first sweet shot, then you're away. You'll probably find you're launching the ball with a high gentle draw.

[@maureensimmonds3195]

i love the simplicity in which you explain the swing. thank you

[@SportsAndOutdoors]

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful : )

[@sidnomis1]

I love all of your videos, and I typically laugh at the slight humor, but I lost it on this one! Hilarious, yet EXTREMELY helpful. You're awesome, man.

[@jholid6y]

This was my first instructional video I watch when I started my golf hubby lol video jug channel

[@oneworld2642]

I always enjoy watching your tutorial videos. I appreciate your golf instructions, it makes me a better golfer. Cheers !

[@KeepAustinUgly]

These are well done videos, and this one is has quite a bit of well done humor. Thanks for creating and sharing these videos.

[@nicsievers4387]

This is one best on youtube. So important. Love the breath out and mouth open idea. I am much more consistent now. Thanks

[@emncaity]

This vid would help almost any amateur above scratch, certainly above a 5. Just the fact of changing your thinking from "hit ball" to "ignore ball, just set up so it gets in the way" -- and it's _so_ hard for people to do this, but it's worth it -- is a game-changer. You can start with short shots, even putts, and work up from there. I don't remember where I heard this when I was still a pro (both teaching and playing) -- I think it might have been from Al Geiberger's book, but anyway -- think of the last time you were staying somewhere unfamiliar (a hotel room, a friend's house, whatever), you got up in the middle of the night to pick your way to the bathroom or the kitchen, and you ran into something with your foot so hard you still can't believe it. It's because there was no anticipation of the object, since you couldn't see it. Just the act of moving freely as if your foot (or the club... or a club foot, I guess) were on its way to the end of its path, unimpeded, creates a startling amount of impact force. More wisdom in this video than in any 10 (or hundred) overtechnical pseudoscience vids on the swing out here on YT.

[@AXETOGRINDU]

BEST GOLF LESSON I EVER TOOK....TOTALLY EFFECTIVE AND EVERY TIP WORKS PERFECT THANKS A BILLION...THANKS THANKS THANKS...

[@JGSMRacer]

This is the most useful tip I have ever gotten. An unanticipated reaction is that I now enjoy golf more because the breathing I do, besides relaxing me, turns apprehension about hitting the ball into joy of hitting the ball.

[@billoxley3]

As I wrote before, Rickard taught me the best tip ever with this video. I'm an 18 handicapper plagued by doing for two decades exactly what he points out in the video: I've been swinging AT the ball, whereas all along I should have been swinging the club...and allowing the ball to be secondary. Gads, is this is sooo true. At least for me. Here's something I've added: rather than merely breathing out slowly, I whistle (softly, of course. Don't want my golf buddies to think I'm nuts). Anyway, by whistling softly, I find that it provides me with an immediate aural indication on whether or not I'm breathing out slowly. Follow? That, combined with a consistent grip, has made my swing so much easier...and the ball goes farther. Rickard for President!

[@jrock8964]

These instructionals are the best out there. Great work. Thanks for taking the time.

[@Jmo1290]

Nice vid. Thx

[@rickardstrongert]

Thank you very much. Many years ago now 😂

[@JonathanWinstead-vf9qe]

Great tip and easy to follow methods to produce a smoother swing with more ball distance. I'll try this on my next outing.

[@dinialagh]

I am really thankful to you,very well explained,ive stopped playing stiff golf due to this instruction & am feeling very confident now.grateful. Regards,Dinesh Alagh,India.

[@dexterityhunter]

Very inspiring tips for any golfer who is too much into mechanics - and awesome swing, btw. Thank you!

[@Vardraq]

I love the way you explain the steps necessary to get the desired results. Wish I would have found you guys here on KZbin years ago. :)

[@chrisfox2211]

Really good video. I'd been searching for a technique and this works great. For every type of shot on the course, even putting.

[@daswerck91]

Absolutely LOVE your videos. Very good tips. i'm gonna watch all your videos about slicing and driving, as I hit all of my drives with extrem slice, but hit very consistant with irons.

[@LukeRosdahl]

Good, informative, light hearted video. This will definintely help my game, thanks so much.

[@06aikens]

Best golf tip video i have seen so far

[@TheReg5000]

I love watching this guy swing, his stride is flawless

[@masala-tea]

I have been looking for this video for over 2 years and now i got the answer thanx man... i always said my practice swing was perfect but when i hit the ball it sucked... so thanx again man :D

[@FAHRENHEITbyDIOR]

Finally a golf video with out much talking, but action :)

[@oscarparedes5676]

Buenísimo !!! Lo mejor que vi hasta la fecha

[@skinlessRx]

This ladies and gents, is solid gold.

[@adamgrym5614]

very constructive and perfectly presented!

[@SportsAndOutdoors]

Thanks! Glad you found it useful : )

[@justindahl8779]

I just started golfing this year... on my first 9 holes I golfed a 71 which is clearly terrible. I watched this video and I had this "hitting" problem. Now I use the constant breathing tip for every swing I make. 2 days ago, which is only 3 weeks from when I started playing, I golfed a 48. I owe everything to this video. Thanks!!!!

[@jamescarter8421]

Hope you're still playing..✌️⛳🏌️

[@ds55100]

Excellent - tried this today...hit some great controlled relaxed shots!! thank you

[@Sebolonius]

I agree with John superb tip. great video.

[@shaveyh10]

A nice video for really showing the difference between a smooth swing, and a, not so smooth one... Good tips.

[@rockystelone21]

great golf instruction' the best so far.

[@Stogie2112]

Perfect! The VideoJug Way! Excellent tips!!

[@keith_hudson]

I wish I had seen this about 6 months ago. Other day I was at the range with no one around and I was very relaxed. Would you know it. I was striking the ball so much truer and enjoying how fluid it felt. All of the technique I had learned seemed to just fall into place. BEST advice for any amateur golfer!

[@jessalvo6375]

Excellent video instruction....thank you.

[@lv2rgvn06]

Excellent golf tip and easy to duplicate by your example. I don't like the running scene though. That's my stride pattern and I'm the fastest runner in the 80-90 age group at my retirement village by far. Great golf lesson!

[@georgereynolds4072]

Fantastic advice that really works!

[@gonzalogarcia2458]

Great video very clear!

[@SportsAndOutdoors]

Thanks! Glad you found it useful : )

[@fujack2020]

This guy is so funny! Great video & tip!

[@QuangThichDuc]

So simple, yet so helpful.

[@brianreilly8661]

nice one Colin Montgomery always says light hands and swing through great tips that work I make it my most important fundamental when I do it I play well

[@ryankearn851]

Excellent Video finally an instructor who has a clue!

[@pjefsquad]

couldn't have described it any better myself ,good job ,

[@robertgalloway5757]

Hi you have a great tempo and a nice style , I have done what you have said and I am amazed its true the ball goes further and straighter without effort. thx man your class act :)

[@PFD888]

It works on me, just new more practice. Thank you so much

[@jons2cool1]

I love this guy.

[@avzeolla]

this is the best explanation of this that i have been thinking about for a long time but couldn't articulate it. swing as if the ball isn't there. brilliant. watch the pros and that's exactly what they look like.

[@emncaity]

Aye Zee I don't remember which player said it (for some reason, I'm thinking it might've been Al Geiberger in his book Tempo), but if you've ever been walking through a strange room (a hotel room, staying with friends, whatever) in the middle of the night, in the pitch dark, and you stubbed -- or broke -- your toe on a piece of furniture you didn't know was there, you know how much force can be developed with a lack of undue tension coupled with a motion that goes "through" an object in the path (or tries to). Martial arts instructors and football coaches who teach blocking and tackling are always trying to find ways to get their players to get the feel for it.

[@mamaldonado311]

I really enjoyed your video and has helped with better contact

[@pancakesandtea]

This guy is the best I burst out laughing in all of his videos

[@seankim75]

Easy and funny lesson. Thanks!!

[@raymoundsawyer6137]

All good stuff! Also swinging shoulder to shoulder and staying in the shot helps me.

[@GivathBrenner]

The "constant hand pressure" tip sounds like something that could help me - thanks!

[@cockybirdlover]

Great advice....all of my problems discussed :)

[@xMansie]

this guy is fantastic

[@jaynes8101]

wow that is the best instruction of golf video ever

[@davebekavac6820]

Thanks for this...... you are right

[@kj1697]

That was a very interesting and informative video.

[@harrydeanbentzel]

Love this dude

[@darylmoore1108]

Enjoyed that..thanks

[@emncaity]

The "mouth open" thing was written about by Jack Nicklaus, who said it was one of the only pieces of advice (among thousands) he ever got from a fan that actually worked. The fan said Nicklaus seemed to be clenching his jaw, and that his neck muscles sort of stood out as tense. Turned out he was right, and Jack said making sure at least the teeth weren't touching (even if you didn't literally have your mouth open) was a pretty good key to reducing tension.

[@SuperDivinyls]

Great swing

[@sextapedownloads]

[@mrcali68]

LOVE this video!!! Just awesome!!

[@johnwestern3952]

The first pro to mention breathing in a swing...to my knowledge. Great tip. Thanks.

[@hichany]

Real point in swing

[@ingeniousbraveheart]

[@miw309]

Well said.

[@FluxPr0ducti0ns]

1:24 funniest moment in a golf vid ever...

[@Rumsfeltcher]

Watched this last night and put it to use today. Shot a 94, a tie for my best score ever. Was shooting for birdie on 7 holes, but my putter failed me. My irons were dead on though.

[@sgtcannaboid]

So true. This is my biggest problem.

[@GatesMcMuffin]

thank you

[@Jbroad2121]

good video

[@Jonsse]

Man that last swing with the driver looked so smooth.

[@emncaity]

I think it was NIcklaus who said the only "tip" he could remember from a gallery member that actually worked (they were always telling pros "hey, try this, it works") was when a guy told him that making sure his teeth weren't clenched -- that is, deliberately relaxing the jaw so the teeth were apart (cf. this teaching pro's advice to keep the mouth slightly open). Said it actually made a difference, particularly in a diagnostic way, as I recall (if you can't keep your teeth apart, you've got tension climbing up your body from your arms and hands into your shoulders, neck, and face).

[@gjones555]

Try running with stiff legs hahahah. You have the best videos. Thanks

[@Handleitlol]

Love the video and the tips! I was laughing at your facial expressions, hahaha

[@GSteinbrink]

His face when it tries "hitting" at the ball is priceless!!

[@kaos336]

This is what they mean when they say to stay quiet at the top. Great video.

[@thejust882]

I tried these tips yesterday. I got 50+ yards on my drive! Thank you so much :)

[@crosswire7777]

No problem! Any time!

[@heialeks]

This is great. And funny:)

[@hubinsc]

Can't wait to try the open mouth tip.

[@lovetogolf4184]

Agreed!

[@mannyboy669]

This guy cracks me up lol
