My Attempt At DeChambeau's Break 50 Challenge. (Unbelievable Ending)

[@Etherchannel]

Loving the uptick in content showing your method being used on the course.

[@tmillerde]

I love how Jim just seems to march to his own beat. Not just talking about his swing. He wears what is comfortable to him; jeans, t-shirt, and a pair of vans. Always a very chill vibe. Love it!

[@thepipesmoker5803]

Totally agree. Except his shoes appear to be Chuck Taylor-Converse low tops.😎

[@lifesaver3499]

would be chiller if he walked,,,,not really golf if your riding unless you have an injury...not biking if you have an electric bike

Jimmy is a former D1 golfer, this man can play and is a great teacher. Look if you're struggling with your swing why not at least give this idea a chance. I'm getting better with my 7 to Gap using this method. As for the other clubs I don't get the desired results but the set up is there on all my clubs and I don't worry about distance I like seeing my ball in play consistently. Thanks Jim

[@Mudassar_Khan]

@bonscottrocks1728 - Keep at it! - I have several swing styles and I play almost daily. I use Jim's style for all my clubs now as its just so relaxing and consistent to execute. Just on rare occasions I may switch it up when I want to perform a flop or fades. But I can say the Driver is my fav club to use with Jim's style. The key is smoothness and understanding that a bigger club takes longer to execute. Its not exactly tempo, your not slowing your tempo, your just ensuring that you don't break your stillness. When you figure it out, you won't go back

[@brotherbread6549]

I CANT WAIT TO GO TRY THIS SWING METHOD OUT!!! I've been watching forever but somehow never realized how you truly set up until I saw a recent alignment video. Seeing it on course is a game changer. HOLY MOLY what a revelation!! Thank you Jim for giving me something to look forward to in my golf journey!

[@melaineryther3193]

Just shot my best round ever using this swing. I'm usually in the mid to high 90s. Shot an 87 today. Everything felt effortless. No big improvement in distance, but no loss either. The biggest factor was consistency. Drives and long clubs went straight - and far enough. Short irons and wedges were crazy accurate. Got me close to the hole for easier putting. I recommend checking out Jim's school. I did it on and off for a couple of months to fine tune what I learned in the KZbin videos. I wish I knew of more women who were using the Venetos swing, but for this woman, it works!

[@jimvenetosgolf]

@@melaineryther3193 great to hear and just the tip of the iceberg! I have quite a few female students. Keep at it and you’ll keep improving your scores.

Most legit challenge would be from far back tees. But, this is the most accurate look at the Venetos method on course I've seen. So, appreciate this.

[@phillipkleinman8726]

I just went to the range and tried this. As a background, I am 68 years young, a 12 hcp and use a single axis swing. I was hesitant to put that much weight on my left leg, but I flared my left foot out which decreased any stress on my left knee joints. Overall, I am very pleased with the results. I didn’t lose any distance, and it decreased the fat/thin mishits. My 60 degree wedges out to 70 yards also improved. Also I didn’t have to make any changes to my single axis. The only adjustments I need to learn are my ball position, but practice should fix that. Thanks!

Still don't know how you play in Chuck Taylor Allstar Low-cuts. We used to call them Dewnappers after after the Nike type came out. Very fun video and valuable instruction. Still have a left of hole draw shape with my JV swing. But every shot solid. Long time viewer.

Really enjoyed this video. I keep coming back to your method and this was good to see the distance you get with your driver. When i worked on this a few years ago that is where i struggled most, driver distance. definitely will go back to the range and see if i i can replicate your swing.. cheers!

[@jimvenetosgolf]

@@chrismitchell5496 🙏 your best chance to replicate my swing and the fastest way to do it is by signing up for my school. I have drills and a linear learning path that will have you hitting the ball far and with great control. Don’t make the mistake of thinking you’re gonna figure this out in one session on the range. 👊

You should ask Bryson to do the challenge. Right there in ME. Lots of trees, narrow fairways. Perfect. Obviously the variability of two golfers will drive the outcome. Nice birdie on 10. Nice putt. It always comes down to putting.

Jim I really try and find these videos of you playing and teaching and try and comment re watch and thumbs up when you do these. I really appreciate it. I know these are giant P.I.A to produce. You do such a great job showcasing your proven methods. I finally caught a snippet on your set up how it looks like your right forearm is above your left then you set the club early and then stillness through the swing it produces your great shots. Maybe better said I finally realized it..That has been something I have struggled with I was left above right and struggled with draws. I recently found right above left for chipping around the greens and it has been working. I see you doing it on full shots and wow never thought about an early set, I thought it was flipping but it can't be cause your hammering the ball online. Keep it coming!

[@Galaxieman]

Jim...this is a great video as we can see how simple and repeatable your swing method really is in all situations. Question: I noticed that on all full swings that the front of your right foot lifts quite a bit off the ground near the end of the backswing. What is going on there?

[@jimvenetosgolf]

@@Galaxieman just heavy weight left and flimsy canvas shoes

[@christianansorge2786]

Great videos, very interesting swing thoughts. Question: on hole 3 when using your wedge you seem to stand nearly square with your feet, the feet and shoulder not closed at 45 degrees. So ist there a different setup for the wedges?

[@jimvenetosgolf]

@@christianansorge2786to be clear, I don’t need to be closed in the set up to produce a swing where my weight stays on my lead foot and my shoulders are closed through impact. In 30 years of teaching thousands of golfers, I have not had one student who could do the same which is why I strongly encourage all golfers to get 45 deg closed from head to toe in the set up. I get closed in my videos as an example for golfers but not as a necessity for me.👊

[@LandryRay1]

Love the swing and content! I wish that I wasn’t so trail side dominant, and be able to take this swing to the course. The swing and draw is pure candy to my eyes! Jim, are you less closed at address these days? It doesn’t seem, to my eyes, that your pivot is as pronounced as some of your earlier videos.

[@jimvenetosgolf]

@@LandryRay1 I don’t need to be as closed as I teach for hobby golfers in order to keep my weight to my lead foot and my shoulders closed through impact but I can assure you I am closed. 👊

Love your swing it’s helping me a lot ! Just curious about feet alignment , I get closing your stance at 45 degrees but do you feet line up together or is the back foot slightly more back ?

U don't look as closed as u did in the average golfer video

[@jimvenetosgolf]

@@JFizzy99 true. I don’t need to be deep closed in the set up to keep my weight on my lead side and my shoulders closed long through impact. The deep set up I teach is for all golfers up to a scratch handicap. I try to be disciplined and show you what will help you as opposed to show you what I can do. At the highest level in this technique just the hips need to be closed in the set up but that is not to be attempted unless you’re a plus handicap. 👊

@@DeepDiveNFT there is no right or wrong on dress codes provided you are adhering to the course rules. The majority of the courses across the country are public and on most public courses you can dress just like I do except for you can have rips and tears in your clothes too. Also, there are many private clubs that have no dress code. If you wanna wear a collared shirt, wear a collared shirt. I sincerely don’t care what anyone wears on a golf course and if you do, you ought to ask yourself, why do you care? Play fast, play good, and don’t judge.
