Hello Mike from Aberdeen, Scotland. I have to say I love your instruction, it really is a breath of fresh air. I have learnt a lot from you in a short space of time and in particular your vlogs on early extension (moving up into the ball) are fantastic. Thank you so much for continuing to educate us all ❤️

Mike is the best instructor on YT. I’ve learned more from him in the last year than anyone before and has made my ball striking and driving the best it’s ever been. Reason is because of how he talks so I can understand it. I’ve gotten in person lessons before and I was good for a few days, etc but as soon as I went a little off I couldn’t get back to what the instructor wanted because he didn’t teach me in a way I could understand it.

Another great vid. Mike is so kind to you. Love it at 4:13 when you put the club in your right hand. If you recall, AJ drew the clubface in your hand with a pen to show what forearm rotation is necessary to get the clubface to rotate toe past the heel. In this lesson, Mike showed you what AJ calls a "stage 2" golfer. All "good" players play the draw...until it becomes too "drawy." There is another level, according to AJ, and Mike knows how to get you there also. It's what we see on tour. I can't explain it, but they both can. It's the swivel release of TGM with a somewhat "outside to in" path. Please say thanks to Mike for these last couple of vids. Great stuff to confirm where you've been (with TGM and others). p.s. If you've watched the last couple of Zen Golf vids, he just suggested throwing out the alignment sticks. ;-)

Brendan, I'll throw this out there, and I have heard this a lot over the years but if you learn to play as a kid, the golf club feels heavy, and you have to learn to "swing" it. When you learn as an adult, you have muscles and you want to use those to "hit" it, not "swing" it. It is a big difference in how good you can get in the game. You have to re-program yourself as an adult to embrace the "swing".

Love it - great video. I took up regular golf at an older age and naturally had a swing that was from the inside. I was told by several people that I needed to get rid of the draw (hook if I was playing badly) and ended up making swing changes that took me down a deep, dark, psychological hole. I couldn't hit anything and seriously thought about giving up. These days I am trying to recreate what I used to do before. Definitely going to try the practice drill next time I get a chance to go to the range - it makes perfect sense to me.

Unfortunately there aren’t as many good instructors around like Mike, Milo lines or Monte scheinblum just to mention a few. Yesterday on my round I accompanied our teaching pro and one of his students on the course. A hardcore slicer. Looks more like he would like to chop wood from above. He not once talked about the clubface and stuff like this in the video. He always showed that he needs to get the club straight down at around 3 o’clock (if twelve would be the ball and 9 the direction to the target) and then towards the ball together to get his club shallow. There are toooo many things I have seen from „teaching pros“ who sorry to say have got no clue on their own. Lucky we are to have internet and so access to good ones. It is just hard to figure out who you can trust and whom not. Have a nice week. And last times episode with the hand moving in (around the body, not pulling towards the body) and up! in the context with shaft lean and pressure was an eye opener for me. Sure I knew the hands work that way but never was I aware of the consequences in control and compression if you don’t do it. Have a nice day!

That little loop that Mike does at 12:45....Eureka moment for me. I was suffering from a pull hook and wondering what was going on, and trying to slide / bump my hips and all sorts of things...None of which worked...And then I saw the loop in his arms, and then I suddenly remembered the figure 8 drill, and voila - hitting it pure, long and straight. Mike is bang on, you have to be approaching the ball from an inside path - like Mr Hogan said - hit from the inside out.... Thanks so much, this lesson is like gold..

71 years old and had carried 5-7 hdcp for several years until three years ago when my game took a (literal) left turn (maybe left of left is more apt). Had tried every "don't hook" tip I could find, most of which worked great for about fifteen minutes then back to "fore left!!!!" I got this a week or so ago and for the last week am hitting the ball better, straighter and longer than I have in 40+ years of golf. While the mechanical part is great, I think the best advice is devoting 90+% of practice to less than full swings. Thanks to both of you.

But the BEST part for me in this video is 4:43 to 4:46 -- the "hand can feel, where the club face is". I will go out there and try finding that feeling next time.

I was told by a golf pro at a really nice club that I could never grip the club in the palm of my lead hand. That same night I watched Jack Nicklaus say how the grip for him is "in the palm with the lead hand, like you're gonna hit someone with the back of your hand, not your fingers". That was over a year ago, and I continually forced myself to use my fingers...which resulted in so many varying ways of swinging the club, because I could never comfortably create leverage with my lead hand. Until today. I said screw it, it always feels good when I palm it in the lead hand, and I can feel the same leverage needed to create a consistent swing. Then the real fun started up. I instantly had more relaxed arms at address, my knees had bounce because I was able to position of the sticks with ease. I have the great sensation of throwing the clubhead through the ball. I agree 100% with finding a grip that fits your body type. Saying that palming it freezes your wrists is an absolute JOKE. It DOES NOT and I can prove it over and over again to anyone who wants to disagree. Yes. It might freeze some peoples wrists... but that is what putting it in my fingers does to me. It locks everything up because of tension and destroys my accuracy immensely. Do not be afraid of trying a grip that feels really good. As long as you can maintain the leverage required to swing in a circle around your body!

Good video. One point of contention: Mike, with all due respect, is wrong about start line with regards to a tour player’s fade. Most faders of the ball do not swing a few degrees to the right and fade it from there. Some do; that’s called a push fade. Most shot shapers actually start the ball a little left and it curves slight back to center. It’s a tiny pull fade. Go look at trackman numbers and shot tracers. Tiger, DJ, and Morikawa are famous for their tiny pull fades. He is correct however with regards to the range. The pros will start the ball generally only a few degrees left or right of 0* (straight). As I have mentioned previously, start line, as measured on a simulator or the stick drill, shows what your face is. Once you get the ball to start around 0* consistently, you can aim the face to the left a tiny amount and swing more left of the face to get the nice pull fade. The draw is the other way around: aim the face a tiny amount to the right and swing more right than the face for a tiny push draw. Note: to get the fade, many find it easier by moving ball position further forward so that your path will work around left. One other note, but I have already sort of addressed it above, Mike talks about curving the ball left and talks about face. Then he talks about path and start line. Both of these are wrong. The ball flight laws have already disproven this old (false) way of thinking. FACE controls START LINE. PATH controls CURVE. Assuming a solid strike. Go look at trackman’s education center on ball flight laws. In other words, if the ball starts on zero (the stick), then your face is square. If it curves left, that means you’re swinging to the right of the face. If the ball curves right, then that means you’re swinging left of your face.
@vic_0315
@vic_0315 3 жыл бұрын
He isn’t wrong about the curving/path thing. You misheard him. You are right, face angle at impact dictates starting line; club path relative to that face angle dictates the curve, and Mike would agree with you on that 100%. He was just trying to show how to practice the push-draw, he didn’t say anything about ball flight laws or anything in that regard... In the first paragraph you wrote, the way you talked about of shaping shots, is the old text-book way to do it, but it’s actually not the most prevalent way of shaping shots on tour nowadays. Today, MOST of the guys NEVER change their path, they change the way the ball curves simply by manipulating the face angle at address, and then they adjust the starting line of the ball by turning their stance-line/target-line. In other words someone who swings in-to-out will alway swing in-to-out, and he will hit a push fade when needing to hit a fade. And someone who swings out-to-in will always swing out-to-in and he will hit a pull-draw when needing to hit a draw. Some old school guys still change curves by manipulating their path like you described, but most of them nowadays don’t use that method anymore because it’s much harder to be consistent manipulating path than changing just the face angle at address.

@@vic_0315 additionally regarding ball flight laws, I did hear him correctly. Go back to 12:02-12:35. You’ll hear him talk about face and curving the ball. Then he talks about path and getting the right start line. He has these mixed up. Go back and watch for yourself. He says the face catching up/face alignment t curves it and the path gets the start line. This is incorrect as you mentioned. Perhaps he meant what we both said, but he expressed it incorrectly.

BBG, in one of your videos Mike mentioned that most tour pros, including himself, address the ball with a slight open faced club, I think he said by a few degrees. His analogia was to a clock face of 1.5 seconds or so past the 12 mark. Could you get Mike to expand on this point of opening the face at address, he touched on it saying that the face rotates slightly when at impact or a split second after while the ball is still in contact so you need to start with a slightly open face. Thanks for the great videos.

wally What I understand from my instructor is that because of what I was accustomed to seeing, the “new” look appeared open but if you pick the club straight up in front of you from address it shows you it’s square. I probably am not explaining it correctly but that’s how I’m “seeing” it

@@pennjacksonjr.1424 Well I'm no expert but I've been golfing for over 40 years so I think I know when my face is open or closed at address. But some people may see it different and also their grip could cause it to rotate even as you pick it up from address. So lots of things, but I'd like to hear it from Mike as to why he said that.

I know this is an old video so not sure anyone is monitoring it but...I agree that this seems to be one of the better tips I have come across in many years of trying to get "better" and my draw has come back after two years of snap hooks. My question is whether the reverse (start ball right with hands then left with path, then starting left curving right) can teach a fade, which is the hardest shot for me to hit? Thx if you're there, and thx if not as the draw I am hitting now is what got me to the 5 hdc I used to be able to carry. EDIT I found Mike's tip on hitting a fade through right hand action and, voila! the fade has become ez.

Gold. I must admit while I do practice draw, fade, high, low at different targets at the range, I’m usually doing it at 100%. No more. This is so obvious it’s stupid and I’m kicking myself.

In order to hook or fade a golf shot, why not pre-set the clubface (closed or open) instead of manipulating the clubface during the golf swing?

Love these videos, but the French dude (Francois) who posted earlier has a good point. Perhaps not intentional, but this video suggests that clubface controlw curvature and swing path controls start direction. Clubface controlling curvature is a half-truth, and Swing Path controlling start direction is just not true at all. Isn't that the "bad concept" type of stuff (like 5 + 5 = 11) that this video was meant to address?

Yes the background noise is distracting but if you pay attention the basics are there to get yourself started on a good golf swing. Grip stance posture and I would certainly throw in balance as a way to learning to hit the golf ball properly. Taking that into consideration you need to practice practice practice, practice with a purpose not just stand there and hit balls.

Hey, I have seen this skill progression from several teachers online and from personal lessons and believe it is critical to build proper mechanics......BUT.... what about CONTACT off the grass? Off a tee I can do it. The last piece to this is how to make proper contact with this movement pattern.

I have watched this video several times and also “ the beginners” video you did with Mike sometime ago. I believe the message in both is fundamental to good golf and is overlooked by 95% of golf instruction and consequently most golfers. Mike has a lot in common with AJ Bonar the hands are the face and both have devices to illustrate the shaft is NOT the bat . I think this is misunderstood by most golfers. If you are with Mike again you may wish to do a video purely on this concept so it’s fully understood. BTW have you asked Mike off camera about AJ Bonar and his ideas. Thanks.

I have a slightly weird swing but i hit all of my irons incredibly solid and straight consistently and never knew why that should happen until now. "It starts and ends with the hands." My hands are really good and my hands feel where the club head is in the swing.
