Top 5 Tips for More Compression

[@sheilasmith5323]

This was the most informative golf lesson ever!!!!! Loved the examples of what not to do because I’m definitely doing some of it lol. Thanks so much 💗

[@BillTony2]

Your lessons are simply the best!

[@davidstewart1943]

You are a truly excellent teacher. I think your explanations provide a deeper understanding of cause-and-effect than any other teaching pro I have seen.

[@MA-jx9um]

Really comprehensive and concise advice, thank you., can’t wait to apply.

[@LuisTorres-le3xz]

Absolutely helpful. So easily explained! Thank you! What you explained about the hand reach limits is something I must work with since I have a tendency to go beyond and now I understand the negative effect that it creates.

[@johnaleck8672]

You are a terrific instructor. Can wait to work on my swing.

[@ClaudeTrempe]

Hi Christina,GREAT coach, I love the way you explain things…it’s clear and simple Thanks from Montreal

[@billgale2264]

By the way, thank you for the great videos. I recommend them to all my friends.

[@frankflores5931]

Excellent tutorial. I can't wait to apply these adjustments during practice. Keep up the good work. TY

[@ClaudeTrempe]

❤love your tutorials… you are ONE TOP teacher Thanks Christina

[@steves3422]

Nice explanation. At the start the guy said he kept his back to the target longer. Yes -- most of us amateurs turn the body too soon. Some of your later demos (of you) show the your body moving and not your arms -- that is a killer for us amateurs -- we need to get our arms moving sooner which allows us to keep the back to the target longer. Yes, working the body is important, working getting the arms down faster than the body is where most of us amateurs come up short. Pros, like you, have fast arms, most amateurs don't. Yes, getting to the right position 'at the top' without over extending is a key tip in this video. I aim to get my hands even with my shoulder, a bit above would not hurt if I had the flexibility in both shoulders. Also, not over hinge the right elbow, form a box like look 'at the top.' Also I try to have the hands 'at the top' in line with my right heel, not behind, not in front. Yes, video with a coach, in person or online to get the positions is good advice. I self video and compare to Ricci's full swing -- position by position, set up to take away to at the top to final posing. Can't get there do to age and flexibility -- but nothing wrong with trying to mimic the best. Like this video - no gizmos. Keep working with us. Thank You!

Great video! Seeing your campers to explain points is super helpful. The last golfer is pure money using Tour Tempo! Lots of great nuggets start to finish. Thanks Christina!

[@robertdunne7142]

1st off. Love the background, and your quite nice to look at as well. Love the way you say posture...lol but the best thing is range of motion with the left arm. Cant wait to try thus on the range tomorrow. GREAT TIP!!!!

[@robertdunne7142]

Thank you! The tip worked! I was hitting the ball alot better and in BALANCE. Im currently a 5.2 handicap and am quite pleased how i was hitting them today from sandwedge to driver. You now have a new subscriber .

[@MorePars]

Awesome! I am so glad to hear it worked for you. 5 handicap is impressive. Nice 👍 and thank you for subscribing.

[@davidsteffen3860]

Love your teaching

[@theresanm1799]

Great tips, Christina! I’m looking forward to working with you at your Sedona Camp in May! 😍⛳️

[@MorePars]

Woo Hoo! See you soon in Sedona!

[@thomasfraser9072]

Hi Christina great video and seeing your students improve is testimony that you are a great teacher on and off You Tube. Your newly taught Magnificent Butt move of Golf combined with what you taught several years ago; Zip Zip ( pressing my upper arms against the chest as I bend from my hips and slightly flex my knee) with the ‘zippers’ breaking only at the finish of my swing; give me the ultimate smash factor a 75 year old man could possibly hope for. And your great instructions books I received a couple of Christmases ago remain always in my bag. Cheers 😃❤️👍⛳️🥂

[@marcdevine3713]

Thanks!

[@MorePars]

Thank YOU, Marc. I appreciate it and thanks for watching, More Pars!

[@saintpatrick6681]

I'm maybe obsessed with your wardrobe. yet, the swing information is brilliant 👏 bravo 👏 thank you.

[@azcharlie2009]

Your lessons are some of the best on youtube. I was wondering why I hadn't seen any new lesson lately? What? Are you hanging out in Sedona now? Glad to see you back on the tube.

[@Astro78196]

Very well explained thank you

[@brianjohnson8918]

7:04 that poor LH, groping for the club! Very practical advice; I think that squat move into the right hip will help with my tendency to over-rely on the upper body.

[@julierader2322]

Great as always!

[@risingphoenix7633]

Great video! Great teaching!

[@fullmetalsal]

Great teacher!

[@brianwallington9744]

Nice video ,thanks for another good one..ps gorgeous weather you have,here it was minus 8 degrees this morning in Northern Germany ..so as you can imagine no chance at all to practice …

[@drakezen]

Great instruction!

[@MyNetpro]

Haha that lady in pickup is funny 😄

[@ludwigdrummer41]

Love her voice 🥰

[@DASH1ful]

well, in the backswing heel pad compression on the shaft with the left hand, when the club reaches parallel to the target line, is key. and, right clavicle rotation, in the hitting area, is key. and, the left side of the right forearm has to load into the clavicle in the start of the downswing to activate the clavicle to enable to turn thru towards the target.

[@DerrickMertl]

You’re the best. Question. Do you feel left side or right side when swinging? I always felt right but making the change to left and feel aiming is easier.

[@MorePars]

I focus on the lead side glute and lead glove hand so yes left side dominant!

[@kenpatel9763]

You don’t west the time . To the point . Like it

[@salvatoredigianno4750]

When you are at the point in the down swing where your knees are neutral I was told that the right heel should get in in front of the right toe as you move to impact.. You don't seem to do that... That's one of my swing thoughts and if you can explain that sequence it would be helpful.. I follow one or two instructors and you are by far the best... Thank you for your great videos.. I have a couple of the sequence video's saved (in and out) and view them often..

[@MegaTubescreamer]

on my 2nd video christina, 👍🤔how come you make sense ! its just sinking in so easy,

[@zamp549]

What golf course is this? It is beautiful!

[@MorePars]

Sedona Golf Resort - this is their signature hole!

[@charlesdalton6262]

Christina I really enjoy watching your lessons.Teaching style .I will be saving this video along with several others Thanks .May I ask a question .As a Non Member of the LPGA and an Associate Member of the USGTF L-2 ,where did you learn or find continued education .PGA has not provided any information .Merry 🎄 Christmas Wishes Charles

[@MorePars]

Hi Charles - I 'd love to answer question but not clear what you are asking? My edu comes from LPGA, PGA, and TPI

[@makingputtstakesguts]

Thanks, Christina. Happy Holidays. ⛳️🎄🏌🏽

[@billgale2264]

When you’re talking about smash factor, is there another component to that factor? Is it the swing speed transference of energy to ball speed?

[@MorePars]

Higher smash factor = higher ball speed. In the end, it's all about ball speed!

[@surroundedbyjaggoffs]

In my case I’m too vertical, too steep and too stupid!!

[@jpcoll2011]

Im sorry that this sounds wrong, but I love your posture.

[@stevenmcginn6059]

Where is the video filmed?

[@MorePars]

Sedona Golf Resort!

[@DuxetRex]

I hit my irons pretty good for a below average golfer. But I have no idea how to swing a driver.

[@brentmeister1072]

Hellooooo… Where have you been hiding all my KZbin golf instruction voyage…. I’m in for some instruction ma’am!!!😊

[@rideoc6026]

Both of your knees are bent.you have to be young or strong to keep your knee exact for impact. This is why I use a single leg with pelvic tip to easily get great flush contacts. Bent knees is a wishing game. Unless you are a exceptional athlete.

[@truthlifefishing1730]

other than North America where is your accent from please? You don't have normal POUR sound you say PAH, like an Australian. Is it Massachusetts?

[@MorePars]

Yes nice job...Mass!

Well, I check off all the boxes! I think i,ll fire myself!

[@johnmoore5136]

❤such a great coach and very attractive as well

[@nickhines1131]

It has nothing to do with the club,it's the ball, I go with a 90 balata.

[@touristguy87]

I'd be more interested in the name of the course than any of these tips. It's not the swing, stance or grip that dictates compression. You're talking about things that happen 90 to 180 deg away from the ball. Compression is dictated by what happens when the club hits the ball. What course is that?

[@MorePars]

Yes... but in order to have the best chance for compression the other elements need to be in place - cause and effect...Sedona Golf Resort!

[@touristguy87]

@@MorePars not to give you a hard time about this but personally I've worked pretty hard this past year on my ball-striking and I can tell you from personal experience that there's good ball-striking and bad ball-striking and high-percentage ball-striking and low-percentage ball-striking and no matter how far you hit the ball what matters first is getting the ball into play, second distance and whatever you need to do to get good distance has to come second to keeping the ball in play. I don't think that it takes 15+ years of experience to realize this. This is something that you learn in the first 3 weeks of playing golf. It's just that most players with years of experience forget about the importance of staying in play and pursue distance...they do get frustrated by hitting "short" drives and irons, and always feel slightly beyond their range...wishing they could just scare balls like the long hitters they see...and because they think that they hit balls into play on a reliable basis but they "really ought to be hitting the ball farther". That's absolute nonsense. But it takes a lot of lost strokes and lost balls to knock that nonsense out of a golfers' head once it lodges in there like a worm. The irony is that once you begin to play for better control, better feel for the ball, the club, the shot that you're trying to hit, the lie of the hole...better consistency...just even "not losing so-many balls"...not losing *any* balls...once you stop hitting bad shots? Oddly-enough you tend to hit the ball farther also. Because you're hitting better shots. And once you start to hit better shots more consistently? The distance will come. The fact that you're hitting good shots come from the fact that you're making good contact. Consistently. This isn't due to a swing tweak. This is due to knowing what works. Finding what works. And making it happen. When players focus on swing *style* they are not finding what works. They are being told what works. That often leads them to ignore what is actually happening in terms of the shot...and that is a bad thing. They then think that they will hit good shots when they get the swing style down correctly. And that is just unrealistic. Never focus on what happens in the setup, backswing and downswing to the point that you ignore what happens after you hit the ball. And the simple truth is that to hit good shots you need to know what needs to happen at impact to get good results. And since the term "good shot" is very loosely defined and a "good shot" can take many forms, there's no one way to setup, backswing or downswing to get good shots. But 100% of hitting a good shot is based on what happens at the clubface at impact.
