Create Effortless Power By Slowing Down Your Golf Swing (Ft. Grant Horvat)

[@GrantHorvatGolfs]

What a great time Eric! Hope y’all enjoyed

[@andyshmandyrl]

You should do one with the driver

[@xKuZiKaNx]

Smooth as silk grant. GG

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks Grant! You're the best!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Driver vid coming soon!

[@MarkGreen91]

Dude you're a beast

[@leeheat333]

This is one of the best videos ive seen - that loose takeaway literally fixed my entire swing and it also start from your legs (shiftinf that weight properly). Awesome video.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Appreciate it :)

[@DJ33]

Why did it take me 6 days to see this one. So good. Eric gets the best guests!!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thank you --better late than never :) More with Grant coming soon!

[@DJ33]

@@PerformanceGolfZone awesome!!

[@robdiggeden2258]

Thanks Eric. Appreciate the detailed explanations you give. I struggle with tempo. Comes to mind is that the faster you try and swing the greater the demands you make on your timing and sequencing. For amateur and elderly golfers we need to make it as easy and effortless as possible.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

100%! Thanks Rob!

[@russquick7899]

Another great session Eric. Grant is smooth as silk and a model to emulate. Love how he transitions to the left side literally before he moves down and makes great contact. Stay well my friend-Russ

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks Russ! Agreed!!

[@SL0409]

95% will never be as flexible as grant as. Majority of golfers will never be able to rotate like that

[@stickgs]

Nice video. I enjoy watching smooth golf swings like Grant's. Could have mentioned Grant's relatively strong grip with the lead hand too. That's at least a 3 knuckle grip which is fairly strong relative to those who teach neutral or palm to palm grip styles. As a former (retired) PGA Professional I always tried to get students to err on the side of strong lead hands. It just makes it easier to square the face thru impact!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thank you! Agreed!!

[@mikewhite255]

I have finally begun to figure it out , my distance has improved dramatically while I also feel so much less stress on my body and feel I'm swinging slower while also gaining 25 percent easily. My best swings come from a good tempo , takeaway and where my head is at impact 😂 don't know why but for me if my head isn't correct at impact and yes I mean my actual head not my club head the strike will be weak and swept feeling rather than smooth and powerful . The takeaway , and the grip are 100 percent important for my swing as well . If I don't feel like I start my back swing with my hips well before my arms reaching backwards and eventually up I'm screwed . I have been a short hitter since I started playing , I used to struggle to get my rescue hybrid 175 yards and now I'm absolutely smashing it by my standards anyway 😂 over 200 by a long shot. My eyes aren't the best these days so I struggle to see the ball at distance but I know it's generally somewhere past 200 and landing inside 225 on a great strike . Now I'm not bragging and I realize that's pathetic for some people's standards but I'm damn proud of it considering I couldn't hit my driver that far last season . My irons have also greatly improved! Now I know what it looks , sounds and feels like to compress the ball , last year my p wedge went about 116 yards and this year it's 145 to 150 on a great one . Now that I've learned this my yardages are all messed up but I do not care hahahaha ! Last weekend.i eagled a par 5 on my home course that last year I could have never dreamed of getting near much less on in two , and I did it without even pulling my driver out of my bag ! ( Driver still sucks ) 😂 But anyways grant has helped me out to get this far and while I'm not really working on distance anymore I will probably continue to get a bit more as my speed and quality of strike come up . If you are struggling, keep going and listen to the advice offered here or you could wind up kicking yourself for having wasted so much time trying to hulk smash your shots only to have them come out weak and slicey .

[@french0076]

“Tempo is the glue that holds the swing together!” Great video!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Yes love it!!

[@TopDownDC]

I'm brand new to golf but play a lot of pool, and "hold the finish" was great advice for improving my stroke. So I'm sold.

[@hnnngbrah]

Why does anything after contact matter? The ball is already in flight.

[@TopDownDC]

@@hnnngbrahin pool, when you plan before the shot to hold the finish, you're way less likely to lift up or otherwise get out of position while you're actually stroking the ball. So I can see why I'd help stabilize a golf swing. Speaking as a complete novice, as I said 😁

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Love it! Agreed! Where you're going matters big time.... When your brain has a clear destination.........that controls......what it does EARLIER......to get there. If I've got a road trip from New York and I know I'm going to California vs Florida.....knowing that END GOAL(where I'm going).....controls what I do earlier to start. Same with swing.

[@gcoffey223]

​@hnnngbrah Balance is everything. If you can hold your finish till the ball lands you will have a way better result than if you fall out of balance.

[@chrismann601]

This just confirms what i am trying to achieve with GRF Golf coach Marcus Waring!!! Excellent

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Love it!!

[@ryantaub]

Thanks for the info on the consistent grip pressure during the swing. Felt it the other day that I start off light then strangle it at the transition

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

You got it! Me too.....first time someone told me about this I was SHOCKED at how much I increased the pressure throughout. It wont quite REALLY stay the same but its a good FEEL!

[@outlander234]

I feel the opposite. I have to start really light and increase through the downswing.

[@rhyndman]

Hey you guys subtitled this “How I turned my arms off” - but apart from gripping pressure didn’t talk about that much. Can you elaborate? Grant mentions letting gravity take his arms down - is that it? (I’m asking because I overpower my downswing - it’s way too arm-y. And I think that interferes with smooth tempo.)

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Hey! Yes great point/question.....more on the ARMS part in detail here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX2qeKd-a6t5d5o&pp=ygUqRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHR1cm4gYXJtcyBvZmYgZWZmb3J0bGVzIHBvd2Vy kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIO5gGWsi7Snhck&pp=ygUqRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHR1cm4gYXJtcyBvZmYgZWZmb3J0bGVzIHBvd2Vy kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3a1i4N6ptd9mqc&pp=ygUqRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHR1cm4gYXJtcyBvZmYgZWZmb3J0bGVzIHBvd2Vy

Would love to see a Blast sensor on his swing to get his timing data! Great combo you two

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Great idea~!!

[@kevinb6102]

Sweet. Where should the pressure be on your feed? Balls, heels or just in the center?

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Hey Kevin! Balls of feet to start at setup Backswing to trail heel and lead toes Middle of both in early transition in downswing then to lead heel and trail toes to the finish Hope that helps!

I nearly stopped the video after 1:30 when you said “look at other players at Grants level like Ernie Els and Fred Couples” 😂

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Lol :)

[@ToddHays-dr7iy]

Great video! 70% weight on front foot….is this approach basically the same as “Stack/Tilt”?

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks!! Yep totally OK to play around with where your weight is at setup to find what works best for you to hit it consistently solid! I personally like 50/50 to 60/40 left with irons

[@kathybaxter8898]

GREAT VIDEO Eric 😎

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thank you :)

[@CMacUF]

Gravity line clicked for first time ever 🤯 thanks

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Love it!!

[@jimmollica7618]

The Rahm swing seems like it would need more grip pressure. I wonder if this is swing style dependent

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Hey Jim! For sure some anomalies......but I would say for the AVERAGE golfer I've coached over the past 15 years that FAST and PRESSURE increases the odds of bad shots.....and those bad ones being worse. Great golfers with GREAT swings have more room to do go faster and harder bc they have much better mechanics (and practice all day and more talent, etc lol) Different ways to do it for sure but I like this as a stock way to do it!

[@thomasfrancis9559]

Awesome collab!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks Thomas!

[@MoAntphonyMo]

I def have that 3-4 grip to a 8 at the top of the swing. I need to try that looseness

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Yes! KEY is to try and FEEL like it maintains where you start (not reality) but a GOOD FEEL!!

[@MoAntphonyMo]

@@PerformanceGolfZone yea I think ever since I started 3 years ago. It’s been choking the chicken during the back swing and then it’s so hard to bow or flex at the top while rotating and other forces happening.

[@stevewilliams9438]

Awesome video like always. Ty guys.i have a question. I have a smoth back swing but everything I come down with my down swing. I always try to swing 900 mph.any advice on that.tu

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks Steve! See if any of these other ones help for downswing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6DNnaKklLGDesk&pp=ygUSRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHRlbXBv

[@stevewilliams9438]

@PerformanceGolfZone Eric thanks so much for the video. I believe my grip pressure and trying to kill the ball is definitely hurting my game.iam going practice the grip pressure and swing smooth forward as I do backwards. Let the club do the job. Again I really appreciate it eric.have a wonderful day. Steve

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks Steve! My pleasure!!

[@Simeon-the-Magnificent]

900mph is serious speed. I assume that's clubhead speed. I don't think you need to be asking for tips on here if you're at that level.

[@furiusstiles3214]

Can I get some effortless straight shots, too?

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

hopefully!!

[@BearfaceM10]

Taller people don’t have to put as much power/effort into their swing.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Nice to be tall for sure!

[@brendanomalley7603]

Not the right way of think about it. Taller people have more leverage.

[@Belbivdevoe]

Tall skinny guys usually have big pieces too. Also unfair

[@Birdbussa]

Also less balance

[@davidoutside]

If you’re commenting that to say he has an advantage you’re probably right. But it shouldn’t stop someone that isn’t tall. Go watch an LPGA event and you’ll see amazing tempo and ball striking without the height/power

[@EFV2000]

that right elbow is super tucked. that is the tricky part to pull off.

[@ForrFore]

Yeah for sure, best way I’ve noticed to keep the tuck consistent is to tuck the shirt into the armpit before the swing

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Agreed!!

[@CoryLancasterYT]

This is what GH and Garrett do so extreme. Freakish position of the tuck.

[@dkurtz786]

So you’re 70/30 weight shifted toward front for your irons?! ….maybe it’s just the video but it really doesn’t look like it at all. When I do it in the mirror it’s pretty clear…. How do you make it look 50/50?!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Hey! I would say 60/40 left with irons or 50/50 is OK as well....70/30 is a bit much

[@shinji0843]

Look how tall he is. Ernie Els as well. Of course it’s “big easy”… nobody does any kind of videos for length for short people!!!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:) Haha he's tall for sure probably like 6'4!

[@Jarhead0331]

Id like to have seen it with the driver the image shows😂. I know it’s similar but different.

[@08jag81]

Watching DeChambeau and McIlroy this weekend their swings didn't look "effortless" more effort applied in the right way.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

For sure for those guys-----but can the average amateur do that? Can they control that speed without perfect mechanics? Or would they be better off with more of the smoother tempo? something to think about!

[@Ubotit_Unaymit]

​@@PerformanceGolfZoneThere aren't any amateur golfers in the comments. Only experts. 😂

[@JoeHektor-dg8we]

The best counter argument is actually FOR the Weekend warrior. BC they don’t practice nearly enough the golf swing is a labor, it is an effort. Anything you do that you don’t rep will be a labor. Teaching the weekend warrior to have an effortless golf swing is flawed from the start

You’re not truly compressing it…you probably can’t compress a long iron with that downswing. Watch Cameron young (face on) and how he covers a golf ball all the way through. That fucker knows how to compress a golf ball
