I love how consistent Lead’s messaging is. The sign of a teacher who is sure of his ideas. The best in the world say they focus on fundamentals, and you can see here the best teachers reinforce that.

[@UncleSnottie]

I agree but you can also tell he's making a product and doing some early marketing here. If his new device helped some other part of the swing, he'd be focusing on that. But still great advice from a great teacher.

[@nathanahern2270]

never ceases to amaze me how whenever I watch David Leadbetter give someone a lesson, he almost invariably addresses issues with their backswing. Thanks for posting

[@Whoneedscableanymore]

Hope he can get a swing change that doesn’t hurt his back. Would be super sad if an injury sidelined him. The energy of GG!

[@bobsmith6370]

It's because they all have the same problem (except for maybe Garrett)... The bulk of them have issues dragging the club inside and none of them use their lower body well.

[@jpsmith84]

I've read Mr. Leadbetter's A Swing book and enjoyed it but the Straight Away device really helps you visualize the key precepts for the takeaway.

[@odog5983]

Didn’t this just come out a few days ago

[@jasonserkowski7194]

I love that David has swings from professionals on his phone for quick reference at any time. “Here’s you, and here’s Tiger”

[@alexlc1989]

I'm surprised he used Tiger as an example given his criticism of him before lol

[@alexlindsey6446]

Leadbetter is a beautiful man...he just LOVES to teach and help people. Looks like you connected with him. Great stuff...so simple too.

[@PongGod]

Man, what a legend! And that Leadbetter guy has some great tips too!

[@gseifers1]

I love these! It's like getting a lesson for free, so many good things to think about that I would have just not realized.

[@Real28]

These videos have been an advertisement for David's new swing aid 🤣

[@jtothac5364]

I copied this drill today and spent an hour or so hitting shots. It completely changed my swing. I’m hitting almost everything straight and way further. Not topping anything anymore. Absolutely unbelievable and such a simple drill. Wow

[@jasonraymond2092]

since bubbies lesson ive learnt alot and played alot better and i think this one is gonna help even more thanks foe these vids and david for helping you guys

[@PavyCakes]

I 100% started realizing that pros have been doing the partial takeaway. Screw waggling (what I used to do ALL the time). All about that takeaway position now. Thank you for the free lesson GG and Lead!

[@marcuscastillo514]

Same! And I have been trying it out and it’s definitely helping my consistency. I’m not the best ball striker but this has helped me get in much better positions. 3 of the good good guys all needed that same takeaway lesson which shows how important it is for your swing. Now I notice pros do it too like you just said.

You the man Matt. Take this too the course. I suggest rewatching this video a few times, I kinda feel like Steve forgot quite literally every word of his lesson the moment he left top golf that day Could be wrong but it’s a lot of information in 10 minutes.

[@ReKo1990]

Steve has zero interest in golf. He is boys with the guys. If they want to continue to grow the brand they need to get rid of the guy. Give him a nice severance package. Give it a year and both grant and Micah will pass good good in subs on their solo channels

[@74rocktiger74]

​@@ReKo1990haha so wrong. I can't believe how many people forgot how this channel even started. It was built on the crew being 'boys". The were hitting frying pans around a golf course. This has never been the channel for the most technical golf their are other channels that do that everyone needs to stop trying to make this channel one of those.

[@ReKo1990]

@@74rocktiger74 except it’s the truth. Good good has hardly grown in 8 months. Micah and grants channels are taking off. The average consumer wants to watch good golf. They don’t want to watch trash

[@74rocktiger74]

@@ReKo1990 your feelings are not "truth" the only reason their channels grew is because good good subscribers also subscribed to them. Their subscriber growth has been down since the initial rush from the split. Just because it's something you don't like doesn't mean that's how the rest of the world feels. Good good and Bob does sports has a wider appeal than most other golf channel because they are just average golfers who are having fun on the course, again if you don't like it their are plenty other channels out there go watch someone else.

[@ReKo1990]

@@74rocktiger74 I don’t operate on “feelings” bud. We operate on logic. I am a high level coach and do it for a living. I analyze and see weaknesses in teams and working at improving them. This is logical- they may very well be cool with status quo- I am, and a lot of other viewers are not enamored with the direction. The Dubai masters was pure garbage.

[@MrIhateposting]

i gotta say these vids with Mr.Leadbetter, in particular this series with Matt's swing speed cuz it mimics my game style more so, was HELLLA helpful. Would love to see more lessons with some pro's and all the good good boys getting lessons etc..

[@grantherbert9139]

Crazy how just watching this lesson actually made me more consistent

[@milo5395]

best analogy for striking well is pretend you're skimming a stone, then replace that stone with the club. When you skim a stone your whole body is a chained sequence, starting with lower half to generate whip into the arms (golf club). it's all released at that flick of the wrist. You give someone a golf club for the first time and they only use arms, that penetrating low flight comes from centre of gravity being closer to lead leg at impact, smothering the ball.

[@CamoPeng]

David is such a legend.

[@bobsmith6370]

For those complaining that it's the same lesson taught over and over. It's likely that you don't understand how important the take away is and how important it is to not swing against a closed, non-rotated body at impact. Gaurantee the bulk of commentors get almost no hip or upper body rotation in the swing and likely drag the club dead insinde on the take away.

[@Butlins14]

Doesn't feel like the same lesson at all. In fact this one is spot on for what I do

[@otomotom1879]

For irons: im doing this exactly backswing Leadbetter told Garret and the Malaska's hands down and club head out concept in downswing. For approaching 80yds or less: Doing Gary Player's approaching vtip

[@peter2qg]

What a Legend. Going to try this at the range as my take away is very armsy and my body stops on the downswing with hands taking over….

Scharff is so athletic he can groove any swing...

[@magicmark8315]

I hurt my back pretty bad last year. Was a result of early extension+trying to get in good impact positions(trail side bend). The two don't mix. Learning to squat in my downswing cured me.

Casually has the long drive master in the back ground 😂😂😂 recognized the build instantly

[@michaelslinger6903]

I remember and tried that process in David's article. It's very difficult to get accurate posture without any reference to the ground. I felt it was easier to get a good takeaway than getting an accurate posture with the club part-way back.

[@Oath3D]

why is the quality only 720p?

[@draintheswamp1588]

Actually, I'm shocked Matt can get any distance at all. He has zero club lag. I remember seeing slow motion of Tiger's swing. On the downstroke, his hands reached his right hip while the club head was still horizontal. That's where his amazing speed came from. Matt doesn't bend his left wrist at the top. It seems to work fine for him though.

[@Sports4me7]

Anyone know what that tool is called that he put on the club?

[@loganwhitaker7893]

[@hamptonmariottigolf]

Not the best lesson for Matt, he’s an athlete, he just needs to be confident in his swing like he was in Cali. He doesn’t really need to change anything

[@FloridaManRacer]

Any lesson that unlocks a frame of reference is a good lesson. For example he now knows two things. #1 the effect taking the club too far away from the optimal swing path has, and #2 the feeling of not opening up his body in time and hooking shots off to the left. When you can identify the things that can go wrong in ANY swing, you know when you've done it wrong in your swing and that helps eliminate inconsistency. Which is Matt's #1 complaint to David at the start...

[@hamptonmariottigolf]

@@FloridaManRacer yeah that’s a good point for sure. I jus think Matt is a solid athlete and his body can get in positions that’s comfortable for his confidence. Yeah I think you’re right tho.

[@johnsfuller]

Idk, that approach exploded his back. Good technique and a smooth tempo are his future, which is a great future.
