That clock imagine was such a nice touch. Well played lads.

[@craigokeeffe2270]

The swing is looking pure Ian, you can definitely notice the changes you are working on

[@phlowtron23]

Scott's talking about pressure and how to feel it in the swing - would love to see Ian and Matt's pressure trace on force plates to see what's the difference between them.

[@evandh1989]

Sorry, I just cannot watch this guy’s instruction. It is so mind-numbingly overthought and over complicated. The golf swing is not anywhere near this conceptually difficult to comprehend-but I guess if you can convince people it is, then you make yourself a job?

[@jon-michaelsherman5676]

The usga can’t roll this back. Athletes will always find a way to get better.

[@clubchampionmedia]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@c5jp904]

Exactly…the top balls are flying exactly as far as they did 20 years ago. At a 110mph swing…the issue is these guys now have gyms, yoga, trainers and launch monitors to swing well over 120. If I want to see someone hit it 270, I’ll watch old Wide World of Golf vids.

[@GoFast865]

@@c5jp904 that’s not true at all. The balls are completely different.

[@andrewnicholls7720]

@Jon-Michael Sherman But that’s exactly why they want to roll it back. I don’t think their issue is so much about how far they hit it now, they’re worried about how far they’ll hit it in 15-20 years time. They know that these guys are athletes and that they’ll always work out how to get faster. They’ve said if they roll it back now they won’t need to look at distance for another 15 years or so.

[@davidmeeks7449]

Every sport regulates the ball used or the sport will die. MLB, NFL, NBA, MLS - they all regulate the ball. What if MLB let companies develop faster and faster balls until every pop up was turned in to a home run? End of the sport. Amazing to me that people actually believe the golf ball should not be treated the same as the ball in every other sport.

[@chrisviducich2062]

The explanation of the left leg with the clock and pill bottle was 🤯. Amazing analogy.

[@mattc3233]

Really cool graphic with the clock

[@-Thunder]

I've been working on this exact thing for the past month - using the lead leg instead of the trail foot to generate core speed. I've absolutely gained speed and reduced early extension. I also use Rory's split hand drill a lot to really nail the sequencing. The swing is looking fantastic Ian. Glad the work is paying off.

[@discr1709]

I normally love everything about golf, but this is way too technical for me. I feel like this type of coaching would work for the better player, but would be too much for an average golfer. Great to see Ian’s hard work is paying off.

[@jim60631]

A good coach will cater what they say to the student. I used to teach, I had students who wanted to know it all & some wanted me to just give them "feels." I'm still using all my available information just communicating it differently. However not all coaches will, make sure you interview your perspective coach before taking a lesson otherwise it may not be productive.

[@dabaumga]

Feel like I am going to have to watch this a few times to soak up all the gems!

[@chriselerick4770]

effortlessly fast. beautiful stuff. hard work is paying off!

[@dabdias]

I’m loving this series, it’s answering a lot questions I had (and some that I didn’t even have).!

[@benmosher6596]

Swing is looking the best ive seen it Ian. You can tell how much you're getting that weight into the lead foot and then pushing off, which looks like it is triggering the club to come down onto the ball in sequence and with force. The swing looks very powerful!

[@StarflightVirtual]

Hello, i will definitly try the left foot thing. But one Question...i am now 52 Years old and have a blocked Back. That means i am really struggeling with the Swing after the Impact, which means my body dont want to continue rotating or is slowing down. That results in a cocking left wrist ( no chicken wings, just the left wrist cocks !! ). Because of that i am really struggeling to create some Speed. As example with the Driver i have only around 88 mph. Have you any Tip please what i can try to do ? I would be very thankfull for ANY Help !! 👍 Thanks Matthias

[@ivanskripkin4242]

Great stuff! Btw, Ian, what shaft did you end up in your new i230 with your current speed and recent changes?

[@adamcarlton3742]

This is the best I’ve ever seen Ian hit it. Looks great.

[@dtgps]

Top of BS to Impact is less than 1/4 second. There is no way to know where are hands or feet are in space once the DS begins. Without inversion of the left foot (subconsciously),, eg Jack Nicklaus; the shear force will create lower back damage.

[@acemakerjay]

Definitely striping it Ian. The swing looks amazing. Great job. Scott is awesome.

[@Chewyness]

If there’s more speed added into Gavin’s swing, does that change the shaft he should be using on all his clubs ?

[@dimarkines]

I thought I was a constant radius but now I think I’m an elephant’s trunk 🐘 because I’m only 6’2” 😛

[@jordancalanchini3496]

What shafts in the irons?

[@ivanskripkin4242]

+++

[@dtgps]

Early extension has nothing to do with the feet. EE happens when head and hips stop counterbalancing each other in the coronal plane(subconsciously)

[@bossblack7003]

How does Scott know which type of swing to teach someone? I feel like I’m taking something from both swing changes

[@joshgravlee]

After watching all 6 of these session episodes, I feel like I got a $1000 worth of free personal training.

[@m3toz4]

Is it more simple if you just save your last push being around the corner with the left and down the line with the right?

[@johnoberlyjr3039]

Love this but the comment from Scott about the lightest your are part of the ground force is when you push into the ground not when push up. If you get in a scale and push down on it you will get lighter then when you pop up. Facts try it.

[@kwalter2323]

I prefer Matt’s older swings. Looks too restricted now imho. Ian’s I like tho

[@juasauga80]

Ian's swing is dialed. Videos over lol

[@civik29]

Great video! Thanks to Marcus at Zen Golf Mechanic I understand these swing techniques!

[@davmar8754]

I was about to say the same!!

[@chadjames1808]

Love these videos. So helpful and informative for a swing nerd like me 🤙🏻

[@blakeg.1093]

Any concerns with that left knee twisting?

[@erik2446]

The clock is next level!

[@okolekahuna3862]

Love your swing Ian.

[@an09dre]

The advice on timing the weight shift at circa 6:55 onwards is awesome. 🙏

[@charliefrago1380]

I’m a righty golfer, and have a left drop foot, meaning I only have 10% power in my left foot. Balance etc. is very challenging on the left side. I’m not sure how I can do any of this left foot stuff. suggestions

[@ianakers5768]

With the change in pressure on the front foot and the initial movement feels down, round and up. Did you have to change your ball position at all?

[@mwsports]

Ian absolutely smoking it! 💪🏼 Scott is such a wizard. Love it.

[@golf007sd2]

VERY, VERY eye opening. Hence, having your center mass (i.e. rib cage) go faster than your arms. This is achieved, as Hogan would say, from the bottom-up.... by proper lower body (from knees down) power truster to right-side to the left/lead side as you rotate. Moreover, such a move allow the hitter to use the ground far more efficient in achieving speed. Outstanding stuff!

[@jrodd0077]

The clock imagine was a big aha moment for me. Looking very effortless Ian👊

[@mitchy7051]

Looks very similar to ABS - John Erickson - well done gents

[@brianedge201]

With the elephant trunk move it looks like Ian has a much greater in-to-out path angle than reality. What move is helping that path stay relatively neutral and not coming too much from the inside?

[@steverichardson9133]

Man.. too much to think about.. I like the "see ball, hit ball" swing thoughts.. there were a lot of technical thoughts and terms in this.. can't get onboard with all this.. but it works for Ian obviously.. swing looks great

[@whenmullet2674]

More speed, more speed, more speed the Captain yelled as he was heading for the rocks. All the First Mate wanted was a straight line down the middle of the channel so he could sail another day.

[@joshdhewitt3]

Would love to see a discussion/explanation/demonstration about using the most forgiving driver head for a given brand but lofting it way down. How would that setup compare to a low spin/tour head at a more standard loft?

[@benturgeon3919]

Wow that clock/bottle cap analogy was huge for me! It makes so much sense. I don’t think I’ve ever used my left leg like that before. I got up to try it and it’s a whole different feel! Gonna save this one for sure.

[@kmhgolf]

Matthew - I very very much appreciate the clock CG. you're the best

[@Nivlekzhau]

nice stuff!

[@dominicshaheen5563]

This is a perfect example of why I believe TXG is in the top tier of golf content creators out there

[@tellwilliams4493]

Can you guys redo the video from 1:50 to 4:00 minutes on the critical aspects of the swing change I think we missed all of it

[@BAA3595]

That was a light bulb moment for me when he said people that early extend use their right foot way too much. That describes me exactly. I push hard off my right foot, my hips stop turning I early extend, flip, then chicken swing to finish lol. If I can push more off my left foot and not push off right I feel like all of that will correct itself. Great video.

[@midgetworld228]

Ian your follow through looks so much better; scott can get a bit technical for my simple brain but progress looks great

[@jarrat1305]

Best flow on your swing I have ever seen Ian. Shot cut off tommy fleetwood style follow through, because your rotation is better. So less handle raising and early extention. Looks more natural, even if its more technical in reality. Good stuff.

[@rhawksfam]

Great things to consider in my quest for a bit more club speed! Thanks gentlemen!

[@tellwilliams4493]

You should’ve got with your golf coach to know the camera angles you needed to show us the pressure points and all the other goodies

[@ignorance123]

One thing I'm noticing on my own swing journey -- the more I use the lower body the more I notice pain in my left-side of my left knee (righty) when pushing off (e.g., harder to kneel afterwards); never had any joint pain prior to this. The different connection points of the lead arm to the chest on the back swing vs down swing is definitely an eye opener.

[@The_sunday_lout]

Excellent stuff, I’ve been following Scott instruction to Ian with good effect. Recently struggle with an excessively in-out path of around 7*. Felt like I wasn’t turning the corner. Will give this a go along, less so about finding speed and more so about getting correct sequence.

[@richardvallance6798]

Brilliant insight. I’d be really interested to see how you implement this move with driver as well.

[@mastermariner7813]

Looking a lot less mechanical Ian. Huge difference.

[@swisstrader]

Just wishing I had access to a quality instructor like this guy in the US

[@Gabe00723]

Doris Flex right ventricular motion standard…

[@SteveSmith-zz4ih]

Too complicated.

[@ryang1910]

I don’t have full use of my left foot. I have a drop foot. Is there other ways to get power without the left foot?

[@OuterestED]

Gold insights from Scott. Pay attention!

[@colinpenson9029]

The swing is looking really good, so compact, looks effortless.

[@random_dad99]

Always wonder what the ppl that teach/coach handicaps are.

[@ryanhorner1675]

Learning to use ground forces just unlocks effortless power 💪

[@Ibizassini]

Best looking swing for Ian since the start of the channel 👏🏻

[@banditbaker1675]

Great work Ian, that is the best that I have ever seen you swing👍👍

[@mattc3233]

The early extension comments are gold

[@mikyoela]

great series! Scott must be a scientist in his spare time.

[@mikeballard3334]

Swing looks unbelievably good

[@user-xr3ry9wu4y]

what is your ideal path for a 7 iron Ian?

[@chriscarrozza1820]

I would love to see this with pressure plate data

[@acutube888]

what loft 7i was Ian using?

[@Jules551]

That's a massive improvement Ian m8 , I've noticed your backswing with this new swing has definitely got more momentum, impact looks brilliant, nice one bud 🏌️‍♂️⛳️👍

[@clubchampionmedia]

Thanks Jules!! 👍🏼

[@ejm086]

What are all these patterns?

[@TheDukeSilver69]

Ian looks fit as a fiddle!

[@Citizensofthecountry]

Incredible teacher

[@petercusanelli5663]

Love these videos

[@rsg--ns3uf]

Absolute gold

[@chachifeere]

Mark crossfields been talking about this before covid.

[@clubchampionmedia]

Yes he has, Marks a big proponent of using GRF, it’s a big part of what’s allowed him to get much faster.

[@chachifeere]

@@clubchampionmedia I’ve tried this but don’t really get the feel.

[@laurentparmentier6103]

Love this series

[@oldgold5848]

Good going Ian!

[@davidbowe9999]

I was wondering if this technique would help with my right knee soreness after three days in a row of practice?

[@ipotato95]

Probably a better idea to consult a physical therapist than a KZbin audience. Best of luck with your pain though

[@davidbowe9999]

Well, im 48 and a contractor, so I'm sure it's not just golf. I've been working on speed through my legs, and it's definitely working. I guess I should slow down and give my body a break, but I'm stubborn. So you're saying your tube isn't the answer. lol

[@Heredrin]

Ian, I’m following along with you! My swing is the same style as yours, so it’s almost like having a pro lesson myself. Great to see the development (both for you and for me)!

[@blackcheek39]

Scott does an incredible job explaining things. It would be great if he had his own channel. His swing models would be really interesting to get a deep dive on

[@rsg--ns3uf]

Considering a large part of his business model is teaching these patterns to other pros I don’t think it would be worth his time to give it away for free on KZbin
