MY LESSON WITH GOLF COACH LEGEND DAVID LEADBETTER | ME AND MY GOLF

[@jkgjr8219]

I’ve watched yalls vids for awhile now but have always preferred other channels. That’s totally changed. Y’all are the first channel I click on everyday. Not saying y’all ever created bad content it’s just heads and tails above anyone else right now. Keep it up.

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks for the feedback John. Please let us know what you would like to see more of. This channel is for you guys! Thanks for watching.

[@xIamTwist]

@@meandmygolf. You guys still do in person lessons right? Lets see some videos with students!

[@enthusiastic16]

This is my favorite video of you guys. I watch a lot of your videos, I think it's really interesting for other coaches to give their input on your swings. Awesome

[@thebigeasy8609]

So good so good. Thank you for showing us this. It's just so humbling to see you coaches teach and your insights into the swing and game. Just brilliant. Favorite coach.........well beside you two.......David Leadbetter!

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Jeff. Glad you enjoyed it. David has so much knowledge and is a great guy.

[@zacharywarner1678]

Awesome footage, great coach. I've read a couple of his books. It was absolutely rewarding for me to watch and listen to his and your feed back. Fly on the wall!! You guys rock, thanx again for ur hard work and enthusiasm.

[@bennyca137]

What a treat to watch Piers get a lesson from David Leadbetter . Just his teaching style is amazing. Thanks Guys excellent work

[@meandmygolf.]

Yes a great treat from one of the best.

[@tomcarr4982]

Hi from New Zealand. So good to see a Jack links Beef Jerky pack on the counter. I used to work for Sealed Air in Hamilton and we made those Zip-lock pouches. Anyway, my wife just picked up David's book 'The A Swing - the alternative approach to great golf ' from her library. So cool to be able to watcb the videos and see more detail in the book. Great golf lesson!

[@robertsutton2407]

Super. Just a simple concept. The core tuck and straightening with the pivot. Correcting the slide and drop. Fantastic video. Core swings the club. Great One !!

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Robert. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@silverfeathered1]

I used to watch his lessons on VHS tapes I recorded. He gave me a lifetime of fun golf. I feel that much older now...

[@roddunderwood9553]

WOW things you learn from someone like David, just watching you and think about my swing and what I need to change and do. Thanks guys this was awesome to watch and I would say I will be watching it a fair few times

[@brendanhanley2424]

Mind blown! Really interesting thoughts from David. The pivot drill and alignment at address, too much lag..... I can watch this over and over again

[@meandmygolf.]

Hi Brendan. Glad you enjoyed it. We enjoyed the experience! David is a great guy too.

[@ktkl68]

Butch is my favorite. Took his 3 day course when I was a freshman collegiate golfer. It was really fun

[@ronniezr201]

You lucky dogs ! Love hearing David explain things and go so in depth on the golf swing with some added science to it ~

[@meandmygolf.]

Yes what a great experience. David is a legend.

[@joeyconstantine9527]

Great video! Just shows how complex golf really is. Teachers can always learn things from other teachers and I’m glad you all were willing to share this lesson.

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Joey. Everyone can always learn and David has been around for a while and spent time with some of the best.

[@funkster007]

Hold on to that swing Piers. Looks fantastic! Hope to see you guys collab on some matches as well.

[@biagiocozza8875]

Mr. Leadbetter is a golf swing Genius. Wish I could have a few lessons from him.

[@springhillgolfer878]

He has a very good looking golf swing already. If you told me he was a tour player I would believe it.

[@Jomarical]

this is truly helpful and easy to comprehend, no wonder he's the grand master

[@grumpytex1970]

Pivot Drill - Best piece of golf swing advice I have heard. Great vid gents.

[@meandmygolf.]

Yes a great drill and simple.

[@davidcampbell8233]

love this lesson, this makes so much sense, thanks, when out and did some practicing this new moves, and kept focus on three elements, and shot 73 off 8, so will be doing this from now on, thanks guys.

[@joesmith389]

6:34 always drop the alignment rod at the heels, not the toes. One foot is usually flared out a bit more, causing the rod to not show a true stance alignment direction. An inch on the tee box is yards on the green.

[@MarkSmith-lz5rk]

Oh ok, sorry David leadbetter Joe Smith is my coach

[@MarkSmith-lz5rk]

Joe knows more about allignment than David leadbetter

[@Moviefreak1989]

I have had the liberty of playing champions gate the course is amazing.

[@gregoiresan]

Working on alignement for 6 months after 10 years of golf. This has many consequences on swing. That is a great lesson :)

[@nreifer04]

Amazing stuff. Could we get a follow up from you guys breaking this down and giving us some drills? I'd love to see your swing changes in slow mo.

[@tonystopar7329]

That was very interesting. Great lesson. David Leadbetter would be on the Mt. Rushmore of golf coaches and there are still haters out there taking cheap shots. I really appreciate you guys and it was awesome that David was able to come on.

[@casilatino]

Great video and great lesson. Completely enjoyed watching it. And I also learned a few things too.

[@tsa357]

David emphasized the butt tuck and "C"ish posture. G. Gankas did the same. Any chance you two will start using that posture more? Also what where the most valuable take aways from this lesson for you?

[@meandmygolf.]

It was slightly different Tony. GG likes to round off the upper back where David was looking more to the pelvis to create a more "neutral spine". I think the slightly different pivot motion was the biggest take away. I was aware of it before but not really done anything about it. It's starting to feel more comfortable now.

[@christophchristopher4020]

best aluminumwell coaching iv'e seen, great stuff. esp the coil instead of the turn.

[@valderja]

Awesome. Leadbetter is a legend!

[@matty6077]

Great insights from more legends of the game. Well done Piers and Andy

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Matty. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@bricago2302]

I love that the first note he gives is on aiming and alignment. It has to be the element that gets the least amount of attention in golf. Without someone to assist you really have no way of knowing where you're aimed or if all those alignment points he mentioned are correct.

[@ladiadegbite]

Nice to see that even you guys struggle. Picked up a whole lot too. Nice one!!!!

[@DN4AGDX]

Great video. It's awesome to hear and see the great ones teach.

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Emilio. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Karl_with_a_K]

Really interesting that, shows the challenges of making a good player better. At that stage it's the finer changes and observations that matter. Good one lads, and good of Pierce to leave his ego at the door and allow his swing to be critiqued on camera 👍

[@martinchadwick9047]

I really enjoyed the video, so simple, but so effective👍

[@somanyskiesrv]

Looking forward to taking the A Swing to the range tomorrow. Wish me well...

[@jeffreylove8061]

Just missed you guys. My group of 12 were there just last week! Beautiful course!

[@Lucmak1]

David "fine tuning" an already brilliant swing. Watched DL many times over the years. He teems logic and practicality rather than the "scientific" approach. Nothing wrong with working on the tiny variables Piers, just as long as you convert and incorporate the advice into your "natural" swing state. Brilliant video. Best Wishes..gd, Yorkshire, England.

[@NomadJoe0323]

When you hear David Ledbetter say “whoooaaa!” To one of your shots you know you’ve hit it good

[@jmeiklejohn]

Great to see a coach that really just brought some Basics back into his thought process and not like the usual coaches nowadays who use far too many technical concepts.

[@timothymoorman7437]

Really simple and informative video to illustrate a swing change even I can comprehend. You guys really should shop at different places for your outfits.

[@isakgoodnoe]

Wow this is brilliant. I can relate to all the "issues" addressed in this video and will go and work on it myself.

[@meandmygolf.]

Glad this was useful to you Isak!👍

[@whogg0521]

This was FANTASTIC!

[@hmcinnes73]

David Leadbetter had a huge influence on my game with his Tail Wagging the Dog video (vhs) series. Just a few years ago...

[@hmcinnes73]

Or rather, Dog Wagging the Tail... 🤣

[@dirtyhipstergolf8412]

Mike Malaska is my favorite coach 👍⛳️

[@jordanneedham4398]

Enjoying your latest stuff more than anything you’ve done precious keep it up lads

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Jordan. What specifically have you been enjoying and what would you like to see more of.

[@TheLastBabyBoomer]

Fascinating theory...the wind up of the core. I'm leaving work early today just to work on this point.

[@haganbarnes]

Great video, hope you fellers enjoyed that Florida sunshine!

[@meandmygolf.]

Always enjoy it Hagan. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@flitzo111]

Wenn der Keks spricht sind die Krümel leise ;-) ! Super Video mit dem Meister D.Leadbetter, Danke Jungs!

[@peartfaldo]

Leadbetter is awesome. Had a pic taken with him at the 97 PGA at Winged Foot.

[@andreas_hs]

Such great vid again! My favorite coach (I'd love to have lessons with DL for sure and if only to entertain him to prove how bad my swing is ; but he is far too off for me) ) is my teaching Pro Bruce who has supported me since my very first tournament in my home club, always encouraging me and giving me the means to to develop my personal swing, letting loose on me but providing me a firm handrail to develop further. Guys keep up the great content, love your channel!

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Glad you have found a coach who you love too.

[@robbiegardner53]

Great video. Probably the best and most interesting one yet.

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Robbie! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@meandmygolf.]

If you could have a lesson from any coach in the world, who would it be and why? Comment Below.👇

[@Karl_with_a_K]

Butch, I probably wouldn't want him to look at my swing, I'd just ask him about his experiences and interesting life.

[@meandmygolf.]

I’m sure he has some great stories

[@markdehne]

Mike Malaska. His theory seems so simple. And i really like his confidence,

[@cwones8904]

A couple of great coaches, that you’ve had on your channel are George Gankas (swing mechanics) and Stan Utley (short game). Any chance you could do some more content with them? 👍👍

[@meandmygolf.]

Yes two top coaches and yes we are sure that will happen in the future.

[@Tlhakxza]

Meandmygolf is there a video that you guys have with Stan Utley...???

[@AListLender]

That pivot is something I’ve never felt but it feels so right.

[@dtgps]

left shoulder down=shoulder tilt + hip slide Its a phoney, one piece tilt and slide, not a pivot. A pivot is in our hip joints.

[@adolfozayas3359]

GREAT GREAT GREAT VIDEO!!!

[@Melted_Butter]

Really interesting video. Going to try that backswing feel at the range.

[@meandmygolf.]

Hope it helps!

[@johncrazy8756]

this is guy really good, albeit a little too technical for us average folk LOL you guys are both awesome!!

[@conpapas6023]

Lads that is hands down one of the best videos produced. Loved the simplicity of the thoughts on how to turn... oops coil.

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks. We enjoyed this one too. Yes keeping it simple is key.

[@dtgps]

Muscles contract and relax... muscles do not coil or stretch.

[@conpapas6023]

I guess you missed the whole point of the video if that’s what you got out of it, but hey you’re entitled to an opinion.

[@dtgps]

@@conpapas6023 The idea that the body can coil or wind up is bogus, not opinion. That faulty premise, leads to faulty instruction and injury. We can only pivot about a fixed points... our hip joints. To pivot properly in BS, we have to turn, not twist or coil up. The ROM of scapula gives the appearance of stretch and coil but it is simply ROM of scapula.

[@conpapas6023]

Seriously Mik you need to stop telling the world you’re right. Watch the video. The whole point of the video is the backswing is a pivot not a turn away or slide, hence the feeling of loading up or coiling. AT NO POINT IS THERE A SUGGESTION THAT MUSCLES OR JOINTS COIL. Consider yourself educated, you’re welcome.

[@jimaverill1659]

Great video.....my favorite coach is Mike Adams I kill to a lesson with him

[@gfozi5581]

Great video guys. Who is David coaching currently, who is on the main tours?

[@emncaity]

Don't remember the list offhand, but were you implying something with the question?

[@rodgalilee7946]

my favourite coach is Brian Sparks. Great videa, v.interesting. Thanks

[@OldHarryRocks]

Did Andy almost say “Morning y’all”?!

[@Somerled_1]

He's gotta be careful, it's copyrighted.

[@haganbarnes]

He will be drinking sweet tea and eating BBQ before too long. Little Debbies (plural for a reason?) for desert.

[@meandmygolf.]

😂😂 Did I?? It's rubbing off.

[@OldHarryRocks]

Meandmygolf not quite, perhaps it was more my subconscious as I’m so used to hearing it!

[@pgron2651]

Brilliant !!!!!!

[@gangsternews4815]

I thank leadbetter he taught me the basics

[@zacharywarner1678]

I love you guys, awesomeness

[@neikodigg4964]

if i could give this multiple 'Likes' I would. I got great advice from this. Great post! Thank you

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@chrisoscarson5252]

Where is the video you guys had published with Rory McIlroy that was up for less than a day? I was really looking forward to watching that one.

[@meandmygolf.]

Hi Chris. We had to take it down because Rory signed with GolfPass and they have the rights to all instruction content for this year. Sorry. We were gutted as it was a great video.

[@dubby1010]

Awesome video! Very intelligent coach

[@Somerled_1]

I wonder how Bill's swing came along after that 1990 lesson with Ledbetter. You remember that instructional video?

[@Mixer8900]

I have been wondering the same thing! Where's Bill?

[@RS-do1of]

I remember it well ! When he smashed that driver at the end it looked like he was scratch

[@dtgps]

@@RS-do1of BTW, Bill was a scratch golfer. Following that lesson, he became a lifelong 10.

[@aidangriffiths5075]

this was phenomenal. will be using the corkscrew in the future

[@meandmygolf.]

Glad you enjoyed it Aidan

[@roundgreenpotatohunter58398]

My favorite golf coach is V.J Trolio based out of West Point, MS.

[@M111OVD]

It is so tough to take all these concepts and create a Golf Swing. The one to take away is that even the Pros need another Pro to check the basics of setup and alignment. If your not taking lessons each year to keep the basics in check then you've got no hope of getting to scratch and below. Good luck Piers...my game would fall apart after a session like that!

[@cytekman]

Would love to see you get a lesson from Gary Edwin & assess his Right Sided Swing is Rod Pampling swing coach amongst others

[@OpaKnows]

Favorite coach: Chuck Quinton, founder of Rotary Swing Tour.

[@Mixer8900]

No better swing model than RST!

[@wynnebaker7886]

Great job guys!

[@alancunnane3065]

That laugh at 10:59 hahaha. Great content as usual, no wonder Leadbetter is still relevant to this day.

[@meandmygolf.]

Yes a top coach and great guy.

[@maddad4767]

I have not had a personal coach or lesson as of yet. I find it hard to pinpoint a favorite instructor of the group of people I watch on KZbin, including yourselves, because I feel like there are different schools and theories one can apply themselves to or follow. With a gun to my head, I would say the two of you have influenced my game more than anyone else thus far.

[@meandmygolf.]

That's great. Happy to hear we have helped. It can be tough with so much but we are all individuals and different son there are so many ways to swing the club.

[@jarmomarkkanen2473]

A bit like your motorboat drill on the takeaway?

[@meandmygolf.]

Yes Jarmo. Very similar to that drill.👍

[@GregoryFitzgerald]

Fascinating

[@DavidTAlderman]

Good stuff, thanks guys

[@meandmygolf.]

Hope you enjoyed it David!

[@Golfing-AddiCt]

Hi @meandmygolf, so now a bit of time had gone by and you've hopefully had time to work these new feelings into your swing, are you seeing a much better results with your swing out on the course?

[@andrewt1176]

Great insight

[@craftychef7431]

Great job boys.Awesome content.Cheers

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@jockim100]

Perfect exactly that im working on works like a charm. But one question do you use the leadbetter A-swing grip? I love you channnel btw Regards Joakim

[@meandmygolf.]

Hi Joakim. Thanks for the comment. It's not far from the grip yes. Reasonably neutral.

[@BamaPaul]

Please do this with Malaska.

[@scedab]

would love this, Malaska is just great

[@dirtyhipstergolf8412]

I recorded my lesson w him back in January - I’ll try to get it posted soon.

[@BamaPaul]

The Weekend Hack 👍like to see it

[@nickough]

DL teaching Piers the same stuff about posture and coil that George Gankas was showing them last year. Need to do more TPI flexibility though to coil and stay in posture in the downswing and get it nailed like Rory or JT!! :o :o

[@sabregold7657]

So, you actually think that Lead is getting info from George Gankas? Seriously? This guy Gankas is dangerous. For starters, there is no one on Tour worth a lick that will accept being across the line like the MAJORITY of players that Gankas teaches. Furthermore, the de-lofting of the club in the transition is NOT conducive to holding hard and fast greens on Tour, never mind distance control. I can go on...

[@nickough]

@@sabregold7657 What I actually stated was: that Lead is teaching the same things - posture and coil to the MMG guys, as GG. MMG have now done vids with both coaches, hence the comparison. I did not say that Lead has taken his ideas from Gankas. If GG's dangerous I'll stay away from him, thanks for the advice;

[@peedizzle5]

Compare this to the guy at the M5 fitting and it’s worlds apart. Nice to see the humility with Mr Leadbetter

[@meandmygolf.]

Yes David not only knows his stuff but he's a great guy and good fun.

[@commane21]

Great stuff.

[@DanielMaude]

Ask him if you are still with him whether he wants to try and win his fiver back at Canterbury Golf Club in Kent...😁😁

[@davidstevan1]

Pray tell us more Danny

[@DanielMaude]

davidstevan1 when the Open was here at Sandwich David kindly agreed to have a game of golf, we played for a fiver and the deal was he’d sign it if I won...it’s framed in my office... He was an absolute gentleman and a real pleasure to meet...

[@davidstevan1]

Danny Maude Thanks Danny.

[@lindsayarmfield2381]

Getting a coach would be good but I'm in a rural area so it's abit hard. I have a large handy cap so it is something I need.

[@meandmygolf.]

You would certainly benefit from it Lindsay.

[@huw365]

Brilliant vid, v interesting

[@meandmygolf.]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@dave7smyth]

Fav coach Phil Archer - he helps you achieve your best and doesn’t force you into a system your body can’t work.

[@teerex1872]

Watching the swing of todays US Open leader Matt Wolfe, it's certainly very much like the A Swing. I wonder...

[@erykvonkeith]

The "A" Swing is an exact copy of Calvin Peete's swing. Club outside the hands with the face shut until just before the top, then square off followed by the natural rerouting to the inside on the way down. Check any video's of Peete's swing and I'm sure you'll be convinced. He led the tour in driving accuracy and GIR for almost a decade and it would be hard to imagine that David hasn't analyzed it at some point and had a light bulb moment. But I do agree that Matt has "A" Swing features. Or more accurately, "Peete" swing features.

[@loganhockenberry5026]

Could I send you guys a video of my swing and get some feed back I just joined my high school team and I need some help.

[@razakhan999]

very good content !!!

[@jumperg1]

Great stuff

[@fraydog]

Do a video with Butch Harmon.

[@MrWafters76]

I just happened to pause the video at 7:38 and it looked like Piers is getting a golf lesson from a blind guy.

[@AlexanderMacleod]

George Gankas because his stuff is explained very well and he is a cool guy.

[@baroberts]

Great video! The idea of pivot, not "turn" is huge for most amateurs. Myself included. Thanks
