I've been golfing for 20 years - I'm 72 now. When I first started I was told, as a right handed player, that my right hand was much too active. I've struggled from the very beginning. But since I watched your video about starting my take away from my left side I've been hitting the ball consistently straighter - today I shot a personal best - a 38 for 9 holes at Bethpage Yellow on Long Island. I am more than grateful for your video. Thanks!

What a privilege to have been taught by Gene Borek as a kid to learn how to play golf at Metropolis. Nice to see him with his friend, Carl, who I had the chance to meet a couple of times.

Can you explain to me what the arms are doing? Carls book says it’s a left side pulling action and the hands are left out of it but it sure looks to me as if both of these gentlemen’s arms are active going up the plane.

@@garyt2542 Arms and hands are largely there for the ride. Also, I can vouch for Gene Borek, Carl Lohren AND @charlesklein213 because we all knew each other and live (still to this day) by Carl and Gene's teachings. I have to say I still hit the ball pretty good. If only I can figure out the rest 🤣

carl's book was the first golf book i ever bought in the 70's. i'm left handed but golf right. this method works well for me esp when i want to hit fade driver.

Old ways are the best, lots of golfer still trying to swing like hogan, and - where else would you hear about pressure thoughts and any coaching in putting those thoughts too bed anywhere else on line?! Love viewing these old videos and guy's who have helped many a golfer with his/her game!

I've found this to be true. It is better to let the left side dominate early in the swing and engage the right side's power closer to the moment of impact. Initiating the swing with the left shoulder gets the upper body turning around the spine. Taking the clubhead straight back the aim line also promotes an in-to-out swing (a slight clockwise loop). Vice versa, the clubhead starting out moving inward around the body will want to come back down over the top (a counterclockwise loop).

Hello, Great concept. Trying to follow it this season after some practice. I have few questions. 1. In Gene's swings, for irons and woods, it appears that the ball is more towards his right foot. However towards the end in the set-up, the ball is more towards the left foot. Which is correct? 2. Also, in the set-up(27.56), you talk about the right toe, 1 to 2 inches and 2 to 4 inches behind the perpendicular. Why is this important as we move the right foot when we take a stand? 3. Do we keep the weight on the left foot for driver as well?

Old school swing, most of us are better served on flatter shoulders and step thru gary player /padrig harrington

Great concept but terribly wooden verbal delivery.

😂😂😂 Yes, you’re right there. I think this was around 1975 ? Obviously neither of them were schooled in on-camera presentation and perhaps that didn’t matter to viewers so much in those days. I agree that it wouldn’t be so acceptable now, however. There’s so much video instruction available that it has to be done much more professionally to be considered worth watching. The same thing applied to TV commentators back then. You’d hear such things as “he’s left his first putt so far past the hole that the one coming back ain’t gonna be no snack either” 😆😆😆
