THIS IS WHY YOU COME OVER THE TOP...DO THIS TO FIX IT

[@meredithayaun6353]

Hi Jim! Thank you for such a clear explanation! I went to the range and hit solid shots that were so pure! I have been open using a mass swing, I hit the ball bullet straight but not as far as I would like. I was really using my mass to crush the ball!!!! I am 65 and a women and know this is the way for me to go. I have been teaching golf full time since 1989. I played the Women's European Tour for 10 years and won the 1986 Scottish Open. This is a breath of fresh air! Thank you

[@fredfarmer8854]

The minute Jim says" sorry i talk a lot I've got something to say." You feel how passionate he is about his teaching methods.

[@MrEagle8697]

I'm gonna throw in my kudos to Jim. I used massively struggle with over the top. It stunned me when I started trying the swing how hard my former baseball pitcher right side wanted in on the action. It was like watching an autonomous entity activate in my swing. I've been able to slowly shift the balance to my left. Golf is soooo much easier and more fun now. It's legit.

[@andykoh8893]

The best golf coaching I have ever watched-cheers!

[@thebaccaratfather]

This swing is legit!!! I use to do remax long drive competitions so have always had a long powerful swing. I started blocking everything right though and wanted to get rid of it. I remember seeing Jim's swing years ago and finally decided to give it a shot. I knew it would shorten my swing by staying still but I am actually hitting it even farther now with a draw. I would definitely join the academy vs teaching myself this swing. Unfortunately I had already purchased another online course that did not work, and I value my marriage. (My wife obviously doesn't understand the feeling of hitting a power draw) Priceless. If you have a steep swing give this a shot, the game will be fun again. My only thought now is start it right because I know its drawing back.

[@mikethomas9555]

Jim, I have been working with this swing on my simulator for the last few weeks. I have to say, I have never felt such compression on my irons. My ball flight has been a draw , and my ball speed has increased considerably. I have never been a long hitter, but I can see how this swing will give me better distance. My feel is , I set up weight on my left foot and leave it there. The more still I am , the better compression I get. ⛳️

[@RalphCecere]

I watched several of Jim's videos and decided to implement his method to only get AWESOME results! I practiced chip shots first and then went to the range to hit PW and 7i. My dispersion was tight! Hitting a draw became effortless. I went thru about 75 balls and maybe mishit a few. The whole 'sesh' was effortless. The setup works out of the gate, I'm freakin' out on this. Gonna work my way up to driver going thru the bag. Jim you're such a cool cat man! Love the vibes, so mellow: Closed Stance, Weight on Lead Leg, Keep shoulders closed and Swing with a STILL CORE. DUDE YOU ROCK! Love from Montreal, Canada

Halo oui! Keep up the good work! Love Montreal 🙏

I have been playing around with this for most of the summer with some success. The ball striking is certainly better, but I have been drawing or hooking the ball 30, 35 yards to the left on the range so I have been reluctant to take it to the course. In studying Jim's video I noticed his right arm folds in the backswing where as I have been trying to keep my right arm as straight as possible, using my wrists to cock the club. Once I started consciously folding my right arm on the backswing I started hitting the ball a lot straighter with a tight little draw that Jim talks about. I am really excited about using Jim's method.

[@TKB231]

OMG ... this is the best explanation of over the top I've ever seen or heard. Thankyou Mr. Venetos !

[@justsomeguy7540]

Jim' you are a guru, you have a charismatic way of teaching and 100 percent back what you say, thanks for making the golf swing alot simpler

[@metropacks]

I've improved. Trying to make sure that my left shoulder is coming up instead of left on my downswing. So many ppl. Are trying to convince me to go back into a traditional swing & they're hitting the ball so inconsistently where I'm finishing with superb balance, ball striking, & tight draws all day. Thanks Jim

[@GodFirst607]

After 50 years of playing this game and my score card looking like a St Louis thermometer. Up one day, down the next. And after watching hundreds of videos, with no success. I figured I'd give this method a chance. It makes sense, but I'm still yet to try it out. And winters here, so I just have to work on the fundamentals.

Luv this Jim as a great exercise on the range. I really like over-emphasizing my swing/body/shoulders as a exercise. Can’t wait to take this one to range today

[@rickandersen707]

I've been a high handicapped golfer for many years....around 16 - 20......took up Jim's system about 3 weeks ago....played Sunday Dec 20 th....scored 42 pts in a stableford event at our local golf course off a 17 handicap.....so I had played the course to an 11 handicap.....this set up has given me what I was searching for.....so I'll stick with it.... BTW......the right foot usually aches after golf.....the last 3 weeks or so....not quite as much pain in the ankle......Thanks mate......sent from Australia

[@orkayen]

for driver and 3 wood, where do you keep the ball? He says we don't need to hit up for the driver. So, I am curious.

[@salinger007]

Jim, Thanks so much for all your videos. Everything you say makes perfect sense. The thing I still struggle with, however, is that "magic moment" when the swing is for real. Practice swings and most range swings are good, but that very dominant right hand wants to come into my swing when I'm hitting the shot that counts - even though I'm putting it in a subordinate position. This doesn't happen all the time, just when it seems the shot matters most. If you have any ideas about how I can deal with this, let me know. You're set up position and artistic approach to golf has made golf very enjoyable again.

[@jimvenetosgolf]

I do. Sign up for my school and let me fix that. I’ll get you sorted.

[@hardrockminer-50]

First time I've seen someone talk about the natural dominent side! I recognized this several yrs ago & thought why not try it letting my dominant side take control like it wants to. Didn't work! Too many yrs batting right handed I guess. Could not do it. Gotta try this. Jumping on the left side to to talk the right side into following along...

[@Duane422]

when you say close your stance i cant really tell how you are doing that bc i dont know where you are aimed

[@Pfbauman]

I am beginning to use this swing technique and have found it to be the best positioning for my aging body and arthritic left (trail) side. I am curious, do you initiate the downswing with your hips or lead shoulder first? I was a former student of Graves Golf Academy and could never be successful with their kind of swing originally developed by Moe Norman. Your type of swing makes far more sense than theirs. I will very likely become a student of yours.

[@jimvenetosgolf]

Tip of the iceberg. I don’t actively initiate the downswing. I create a spring from stillness. All explained in my school. Looking forward to helping you with your game. 👊

[@fredericktomolillo8961]

Can't wait to try it...feels strong and comfortable Thank you

[@ManofOrthodoxy]

should a lot of right handed players play with left handed clubs?

[@burtveracruz]

I have a low handicap but for years I've struggled with an unwanted fade, relying purely on tempo and take off planes to hit the ball solid. This changes everything. I'm using a slight hybrid of this technique and my natural swing.

[@jimvenetosgolf]

You’d do better not to try to hybrid this swing. Just perform it as I describe and you’ll hit the ball better than you can imagine.

[@burtveracruz]

@@jimvenetosgolf You're actually right. I play racquetball and I realize that the same mechanics I use in the racquetball swing mirror your set up. And it's powerful.

[@jetviser]

I understand setting the body 45d closed. Do we drop back the trail foot in the process (i.e., so the alignment of the feet matches the 45d closed angle)?

[@jimvenetosgolf]

Yes. Your feet will help you to hold your shoulders closed through impact.

[@andrewthompson545]

[@jimvenetosgolf]

I don't think you understand what I teach. No staying behind the ball here.

[@bmatt9379]

Question for people using Jim’s swing- are your clubs normal lie or upright? Mine are regular, but I used my son’s recently- his are 2* upright and I seemed to hit my iron shots a little better. Does this make sense?

[@jimvenetosgolf]

@@bmatt9379 your lie angle is related to your body proportions, your swing path and your club head speed. The swing I teach creates a shallow swing path and a high club head speed. The higher the chs, the more upright your lie would need to be.

[@bwinms1]

Good stuff

[@holyster2285]

Thats really what Is changing my swing nowdays... My brain ,when i reach the top of backswing, always tells to my body to reach the ball with my right Hand,but this generate only over the top move. The only way for me Is to think to initiate the downswing with my left hand keeping my backside to target as long as i can. You are the first one to speak about the dominant side and you are completly right, always trained my right side a LOT more than my left

[@michaelplunnkett1295]

I’ve only played golf two years and in that time I never think about my arms only my shoulders/slot and arms simply follow

[@holyster2285]

@@michaelplunnkett1295 it's not about your thoughts, it's how your body react istinctively. Golf isn't about istinct, because if you follow that,you ll probably fall in a "mind error" wich will cause a problem on your swing. If you can dominate your istinct, with the right practice, you can reach a good golf swing. That's my thought obviously

Everyone is struggling to play good golf including me. According to mr jim, Golf is so simple,don't have to learn complicated and unnatural hard theories. looks so natural and simple. even life llong golfing,often all of sudden loses what i have been doing. the golf should not be that way.

[@michaeld6061]

I’d like to see if you are missing the target to the right as the ball is starting off where you are aiming and you are relying on a draw to bring it back.

[@jimvenetosgolf]

Michael D that’s funny, do you think I would use or teach a swing that would miss the ball right? Watch more of my videos and you’ll see that my stock action always starts the ball on the same line and draws 2 yards.

[@michaeld6061]

Jim Venetos Golf Academy I’d hope not but alignment would be different to a classical swing. Do you line your feet to the target and then you turn so that your shoulders are closed to the target and the result is a draw back to the target. I suggest that it would help in your videos to show where the target is and how to consistently align so that the result is at the target. The mat is aligned with the camera but you are setting up to hit the ball way right; it would help if you were hitting straight down the camera line.

[@jimvenetosgolf]

Michael D I appreciate your insight. You are watching free videos I put out on yt. In my school I go into great detail about the system I teach. Sign up for the school, change your game and make all the requests you’d like.

So if it is difficult to use our left hand as dominant and if I cannot do it what so Ever, should I switch to lefty so I can use my dominant right hand? Anyone switch to lefty clubs to use right hand dominate and lead side?

[@jimvenetosgolf]

Mat Stepis don’t switch sides. It’s not about your dominant hand, it’s about your perception for swinging the club. If you switch sides you’ll likely continue to do the same thing. I suggest signing up for my school. I help golfers like you all the time.

[@carryk9222]

[@jimvenetosgolf]

carry k circular swing path and the torque created by staying still.

[@Mr.mallaer]

This is absolutely correct. What golfers call right handed clubs are in reality left handed clubs and left handed swing. Also the dominant hand does not like being under the non dominant hand. I used to play tennis and two hands on the racket usually meant backhand with dominant right hand on top. I started playing golf and two hands on the club with dominant side in front and dominant hand in my case the right hand on top, and everyone started claiming that I was left handed. I could hit the ball perfectly well just with my right hand. Eventually they convinced me to switch to so called right handed. It took me months for hands to agree that dominant hands should be in an inferior position. The right hand always wanted to snatch the club out of the left hand. Eventually I learned how to play left handed or what they call in golf mistakenly the right handed. It’s much easier to get left handed than right handed equipment, and people don’t constantly ask me stupid questions about me supposedly being left handed. I am using left handed equipment and swing now but call it right handed and everything is good.

[@Mr.mallaer]

I did forget to mention that I lost some of the swing speed by going lefty.

[@plentyofouts]

Jim Venetos Golf Academy Not just trolling man. Interested in any different perspective. Appreciate what your saying. Has merit and at least worthy of consideration. I’ve just found that looking at true functional commonalities between the highest level ball strikers is the best way to discover the deepest truths about highest optimal level ball striking. And tremendous rotation (from Hogan, Trevino, Palmer to Dustin Johnson, Garcia, Koepka) seems to practically be an axiomatic fundamental.

1slander1970 first may I adjust your lexicon..blades or blade irons. Second, the difference between blades and perimeter weighted clubs is blades are less forgiving than the others. Other factors effect your shot shape than just the head such as the shaft flex and offset so your question is a bit incomplete.
