End The Pain & Confusion Related To Your Golf Game!

[@jdgoldberg7634]

Just been watching your videos for 2 weeks and practicing what you teach . It works ! Played two rounds so far and I’m hitting the ball so much better all ready. I’m committing to this swing and I’ve already proven to myself that it works . Wish I would have discovered this 30 years ago . I’m sure this will help me . Thanks Jim

[@Esoxfan]

I am convinced Venetos method is the holy grail of golf, I plan to get to single digits this summer: I have practiced on my simulator all winter. Smooth consistent draws all day long. I picked up at least a half club if not more of distance. Stay still my friends

[@dimitriamor562]

Just started playing golf one month ago. I stumbled onto your channel and tried your technique today and it works. I have a martial arts background, so keeping weight on a certain side was an easy concept to grasp. I took a bunch of swings today and I’m feeling more confident than ever on where I can place my shots. Thank you Jim.

[@iananderson2754]

I am so glad I have found your channel. After more than 50 years playing with a dominant right side overnight you have changed my game for ever. Thanks so much...

[@ronharrington8659]

I keep seeing negative comments on Jim. I’ve tried many of the KZbin teachings available. For me this one works. It felt awkward in the beginning. However after trying the other teachings randomly, mixing this one in, I personally hit the ball much more solid using this method. I’m not a young golfer however. I have arthritis especially in my fingers, really bad on my right hand, as a right handed golfer. Have to use very large grips, Jumbomax, non tapered, to even play. I’m sure there’s no method that everyone agrees on. My thinking is those that post negative comments, may be able to play using other methods, or haven’t given this method a chance. Either way, it works for me, and I have nothing to gain in any of the reviews I post, and I have many. I hope everyone plays better golf, and enjoys the game as much as I do, no matter what method works for you…..

Big thanks Jim for showing us the way for easy and simple golf swing I’ve never hit the ball so well. THANKS JIM

[@richardcharles290]

I shot my lowest round ever using your swing today (72). It wasn't planned, it just happened. After the first drive off the number one tee, I knew I had to have a definite idea where the low spot of the swing was. All at once I knew exactly not only where the low spot was, but I could feel the center of the swing at the left shoulder. I would get aligned then just quite the mind. No thousand of swing thoughts, I never thought for a second about what my wrist were doing, really in "The Zone".

[@stanmrak68]

It took me less than 5 minutes in my yard to realize the genius of this method. Somehow, the landscape makes a great backdrop for Jim's zen-like presentation.

[@philgould4343]

Thank you again JIm. Everything you say about conventional golf instruction is so true. Watching professionals play the way they do, using conventional setups and swing thoughts, is no reason for the amateur/social player to think he/she can replicate these movements successfully, let alone consistently.. Following your advice and instruction has totally changed my enjoyment of playing golf. The simplicity of the swing and the greatly reduced stress and strain on your body makes a massive difference. I just wish I'd found this 50 years ago. Well done and congratulations, for having the courage to break free of traditional theories and teach a method that actually helps players hit the ball better with greater consistency. If you follow this method, you will hit shots that give you so much enjoyment. The mental anguish disappears because the system is so simple. You will also have zero back pain by getting away from all that traditional weight shift and rotating. Thanks again Jim.Great instruction.

[@courtneyroy270]

I understand your method and think its right, I do have a question, when you have your shoulders at 45 degrees closed why doesn't the ball go right of target, being closed that much.

[@jimvenetosgolf]

When you set closed you are simply just gaining access to use the lead side of your body and how your lead side works is that the lead arm swings on a slightly inside out swing path. Therefore the ball does not travel well off to the right but you need to set your body closed in order to gain access to your lead side so the ball will then just follow the slightly inside out swing path.

What did your other pros, at the time you were giving lessons, think of your swing and teaching methods? I have been a member for a few months now and I can't imagine going back to traditional swing. Has too many swing thoughts and movements. Thanks for the content during the shutdown.

[@jimvenetosgolf]

James Hanson My boss, the head pro, told me I was the only one he would let help him with his swing. I think this was partially because he and I played scpga section events together as a team and I was able to impress him with my ball striking.

[@TheDarkHelmet]

Are you keeping the club face square to the target? Are you swinging along your body line or still along the “normal” target line, just with a closed set up. I’m afraid if I do this wrong I’m gunna break some windows in the parking lot on the right😂.

[@tedoneill1260]

Hi Jim, I suffer from a lower back injury that has left me without the ability to twist or stretch my lower back as a part of my swing. After watching your videos, it appears that the swing that you are teaching doesn’t rely on a lot of twisting or stretching of the lower back muscles to power the swing…correct? 🤔

[@jimvenetosgolf]

Correct!

[@aidanmcgale533]

I have left knee injury was struggling with your swing system got some good shots but didn't get it but I tried pushing my left hip as far back as possible over my left leg and what a difference I now feel what your talking about

[@garyfarmer5855]

Loved your video and how you put the swing set up simply - but IAM have trouble with pulling the shots left. But the set up does improve my contact coz I don't have concerns about the motions of the swing itself. Thanks for your approach.

[@anbroic]

Great video. Normal set up does not feel natural to me. I have no idea whether I will go right or left or down the middle. Too many swing thoughts too. Most videos online are designed around a professionals golf swing who have great flexibility and strength where it’s needed in the golf swing. I will try this technique tomorrow. Captains days qualifiers as well 😊. Fingers crossed

[@lllbailey]

Jim, irons make sense, good Sir. But with the driver it’s not clicking. Have you noticed a difference when it come to the driver?

[@jimvenetosgolf]

No difference. The irons are the indication of how good the system is, that you can learn it just from some KZbin videos. The driver is the indication that in order to learn the skills well enough to hit driver, you should sign up for my school and learn the system properly.

[@Drums-yz4ss]

This swing is very simple and repeatable. But I am wondering why I have never seen a tour pro doing this? Is it because it looks weird? I am an adherent of the stack and tilt golf swing school and it shares many of the same concepts.

[@jimvenetosgolf]

There are many tour pros that incorporate the same swing I teach but they don’t require the deep closed set up position to adhere to the principles of a lead side swing path. Check this out! instagram.com/reel/C2SNzDpNJUq/?igsh=MWM0M2Z6aG54d3BwNA==

[@jimvenetosgolf]

S&t is very different from what I teach; in my swing there is no tilt, no trail arm strike, no power loss.

[@Drums-yz4ss]

@@jimvenetosgolf very true, I think the biggest thing I got from S&T is keeping the weight forward, which has helped tremendously. But adding the elements of a preset setup and a still lower body will help me build on this. I am really looking forward to starting this journey!

They hit 10s of thousands of balls, start young and they still struggle with their swings. Often they use short game to make up for it.

[@devinadvani6502]

Jim's the man and what he teaches makes absolute sense. I've followed him for years now and have honestly never hit the ball better. But more importantly, I'm calm on the golf course now, fewer scrambling swing thoughts and less nervousness around what swing did I show up with today. I can focus on strategy and PLAYING golf.

[@otisregatoni617]

Jim has great passion in delivering a simple concept. Much appreciated. Looks like a cool place to social distance. Let’s overcome Kungflu.

[@williamkeating893]

Why are there no top professionals using your method? I have been trying it and it seems to work.

[@jimvenetosgolf]

It does work and all great ball strikers use their lead side in a dominant way to hit the ball. I figured out a way for the general population who lacks the talent of a tour player to be able to get the same result.

[@kenfldude]

Right now all I have is a pro hitting mat and a net. No driving range. Can I learn your swing without access to a range if I join your school? Frustrated in Florida.

I agree with the comment of the videos out there showing us how tiger woods, Rory, or whoever, don’t get me wrong, awesome to watch, but why would I want to swing a club like them? I am learning what I can do. Anywho, thanks for being honest.

[@aProudOG]

Went to course after watching a few of these weight forward vids and experienced utter disaster. Had never shanked a driver before but I have now as I was getting ball no higher than four feet off the ground and squirting same hard to my right at a 45* angle about a hundred yards except when trees stopped it shorter, Irons never felt good all day. But my three wood responded nicely to my closed shoulders and weight forward. Two prior range sessions familiarizing myself with this new to me technique weren’t pretty but I thought I had the concept figured out. Man was I wrong! I plan to stay the course b/c it makes sense. But how now should I go forward? Pun intended.

Jim. Is this a single plane swing because of the setup and stillness?

[@jimvenetosgolf]

Don Hall the still weight gives you one a-fixed point in space which is the requirement of a single plane. The traditional views on a single plane are flawed in that they believe a single plane can happen while weight shifts.

It is quite extraordinary; you would not think you could have such diametrically opposite instruction, as it relates to golf.

[@JimSiverts]

As a person who has done a dozen golf schools I can attest that Jim is spot on. Conventional golf instruction is wasted time and money. Jim’s method has me hitting balls perfectly every time. If I don’t hit it perfectly, I know exactly why it happened. No more guessing which movement caused it. It’s almost impossible to hit a bad shot because you have ZERO movement, yet the strikes actually go farther than I’m used to. Now I need to redo my club distances. What’s really great is you know where the ball is going and you can put it right where you want it. I wish I had found this 10 years ago. I could have spent all of that wasted instruction money on better wine.

You make the statement that "traditional instruction" is flawed! Now lets think about that statement, just because the folks that you have saw and experienced could not do it , doesn't mean at all its flawed! Example Curtis Strange won 2 US opens with a traditional swing and he was taught by Jimmy Ballard from the beginning! Jim promoting your "conclusions" doesn't always make the other conclusions incorrect! A good salesman never attacks his competitor product to prove his is better, but focuses on the "features" and how it can benefit the customer. BTW

JD ok, so if Billy Casper wins a tournament but can’t communicate to you, the general population of golfers, how to properly execute the swing with consistency, where lies the flaw? Jamaal Wilkes won multiple championships and was a great shooter, would it be ideal to learn his style of the jump shot?
