Jim. Great videos. This video with the “Avenue of power “ video is so enlightening “to me” while trying to move to the next level of this swing. Been a student for 3 years. I play with 13 handicap to 20 handicap players and win 98% of the time. As a student, I think saying that alignment has been my biggest challenge with this new swing. However, the actual way to swing the club properly was the biggest mystery, and you have taught me how to do it. Understanding what you have been teaching as far as weight forward, leverage and letting it go has really hit home with these new videos. Thank you.

I have one question. When you address the ball with your shoulders in line with the target and put the ball in the middle of your stance, when you pull your trail foot back and turn your shoulders, do you reposition the ball in relation to the new line of your shoulders and feet? If you don't, doesn't that, in fact, position the ball much further toward your front foot?
@walkerscarpetcare7 ай бұрын
For me yes. It feels like the ball is very forward. I just started trying this swing over the weekend, and at first I had the ball in the middle of my stance, and was hitting low bullet draws. Finally lined up where the ball felt like it was close to my front foot, and started hitting much higher shots.

I once tried this on a real golf course not at a range or mats. I either shanked or badly hooked almost every shot. And barely with any power. Whatever your view is of the golf swing, physics says that hands, arms and body play a role in a kinetic sequence. And you can’t change the laws of physics. I’m sure JV will chime in here and say I didn’t do it correctly or followed exactly what he said and I should buy his course. Did that already JV and we scrapped about it. You finally refunded me.

First time today, I got a bucket of balls to try this technique. Bump and run, chips and pitches were like a miracle. Beautiful and effortless. Starting with half and three quarter swings, while I had no trouble keeping my body still, I quickly realized I was gripping the club far too tight to let it work. After fixing this I started hitting some really nice shots. My misses were usually thin and due to allowing my body to move on the backswing. I am looking forward to digesting this before another trip to the range. I am 76 and this looks like golf will get to be fun again. Thanks!

I have at different times thought I had come across the secret to consistently playing well like Jim does. Not until today did it finally dawn on me that not one single aspect of the swing outside of my core was going to solve my dilemma. Focusing on the core after setting up as best I could in the position that he recommends I was able to significantly reduce my strokes on a very difficult but short course.

Been practising your swing style for the past couple of weeks at the range and been hitting it ok. Took it to the course yesterday and for teh most part contact was pretty awesome. However, on one T shot with driver I managed to pinch my sciatic nerve, and still hit a great T shot, but struggled to even swing the club for the remainder of that particular ( a par 5 on which I took 12 ). Did some yoga stretches ( downdog and cobra) fora bout 5 minutes before teeing off on teh enxt hole and released the pinched nerve. Not a single draw with any of the shots, generally dead straight down the right side of the fairway, a baby fade or when my shoulders got invovled a very solid pull shot. Also tried the pivot to teh right side for my putting. Rolled the ball more consistantly and had better speed judgement. Didn't break 100 (never have on that particular course) but there was enough improved ball striking for me to continue working on this swing method. The 2 things I think I need to do are #1. close my stance more so that it's closer to 45* rather than around 30* where I had it AND #2. get the ball back towards the middle of my stance with my hydrids and irons.

More range practice today with just 8 & 7 irons. Wasn't interested in distance just 1/2 swings. Hit 2 trays (80 balls total) and not a single draw. Almost every shot was dead straight at the target. Even experimented with Lee Trevino's open stance with weight on the lead side. Same results, dead straight, but not as far. The more closed I was at address after pivotong to the lead side, teh further right I hit the ball. The one thing I did notice is if I pivoted and then gripped the club my shoulders would come back to parallel and my dominant hand (right) and should would be activated, but I still manged to hit the ball fairly straight. Will keep working at it. Staying still is going to be the hardest part of this swing for me to master. After 50 years of having a crap swing I'm going to need to be patient and persevere with this.

You would understand more what Jim teaches here if you know where to look. The stability of core muscle (from shoulder to pelvis) of his slight lumbar curve body posture functions against the stillness of his lower body generating the valuable torque, combined with his JVGA renowned closed stance set up pivoted on his left side for that powerful circular, shallow and decending inside to out swing path (the kill zone) freely travelled with his strong left arm/bowed wrist to square the club face sending the ball to fly high with a baby draw we all yearn for. Look for more vertical pressure in your pivot on the left... Jim Venetos "reinvents" and "owns" his swing, like Ben and Moe did in the long history of golf swing research. Never get tired to watch him swing. Like candy for your eyes.

This is just crazy. lol . I think you trying to say just use your arms when you play and not your body. That’s exactly what you doing on this video, you are keeping your body still and you are playing with your arms and hands . Just like Mike Malaska says , play golf with your hands . Just like the video with Tiger woods and Buch Harmon , they both saying start the downswing with your hands and not your hips . Ben Hogan made a big mess when he said that hips start the downswing . Every thing we do in life , through a rock, paint, eat , reach for food we do it with our hands we don’t turn our hands off and hope for the best . My opinion and many PGA tour players and coaches that say play with your hands and not with your body.

👊 Keeping the body still is how you use the body. You brace the body so the appendages can move freely. It’s only in the ignorance of popular golf instruction where moving the body is using the body and unfortunately, stillness is lost.

I honestly feel terrible for the average golfer with all the traditional golf rubbish that they are being taught
