Seriously... how can you not like Rory... easy spoken, awesome golfer, who exemplifies class and the honour of the game...

[@zero2herogolf]

Absolutely amazing that we get a free DRIVER lesson from Rory and his life long coach! Big thanks to Rory and Michael Bannon!

[@zacharylockhart4550]

Hats off to the interviewer. Perfect engagement with Rory / Coach, and steered the question path well and did not interrupt or over talk.

[@lolol1725]

Didn't interrupt? We're you paying attention at 9:56? He cuts off Michael Bannon as he is about to demo what he is talking about.

[@MrBrokentowels]

That teacher is amazing. Didn’t feel the need to be heard or shine. Kept everything simple and concise.

[@beauamourbeau9223]

hi, how are you ?

[@Kennyc313313]

Nail hit on head, the most underrated character trait

[@NeverEndinShow]

Seemed like a military man

[@mesillahills]

That take away he talks about at the end is so important. Both Nicklaus and Palmer insisted all of their careers that the first 2 to 4 inches going back is SO IMPORTANT. Nickaus even said it was everything.They never explained why however. But that is where the "connection" (arms, shoulders, & body) is established just as Rory points out. And if you do not establish it there it is almost impossible to get back. That's how you take your range game to the golf course. When you stay "connected" much less timing is needed in the swing. Get those big body trunk muscles to start it back, not your arms and shoulders. Drag them along for the ride. I like to think of it as from the bottom -up (just over my belt line), not the top-down (arms and shouilders). And you will develop a touring pro swing. It may seem "tighter" but you won't be shorter. You'll be both long and straight.

[@oFinalSolution]

A lot of places have somewhat cheap (for golf, think 100-300+ per hour as a standard) where you can go take a bunch of shots and have them break down the exact moments those errors are occurring in relation to geometrical angles/lines for your body. Lots of ways to really get those last details down.

[@anthonypapa9407]

Rory is a class act. Always willing to share some of his skills to help others play better golf.

I've warmed up to this young man over the years. He is always decent, humble and always learning... His friendship with Tiger is also a revealing aspect of his enormous gift to relate. A true golf hero and is right on time to keep the game rolling forward.

[@austinc.8219]

I love it. Not overly complicated, just stick to the basic fundamentals and creating a feel for each shot. Great lesson!

[@nev7711]

I was expecting Rorys coach to be slick and talking very technical ehh nah. Aim, width boom simple as that! Love it

[@vicenteampiez3231]

Excellent Video clip! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for revealing an effortless golf swing technique without the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my cooworker after a lifetime of fighting got great results with it.

[@user-wh6sp6st8s]

He has taught him since Rory was..5 or 7 or something..so I'd imagine he has to keep things simple to teach a kid to play..then when that kid grows up he has simple thoughts in his swing.

[@anthonywillis7634]

When Rory speaks on driving there is a yearning desire to listen! 👂

[@Levin-ey1bu]

“Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words.”

[@eco8gator]

The connectedness between the arms and the torso is so important (well it is for me). As long as I make sure I feel that during my practice swings hit it straight and generate a lot of power.

[@dinuni09]

This video has almost every source of Key elements of the Golf. Nice Video.

[@cscheatum]

Wow. Golf channel just proved it’s worth with this video! Now putting lessons from the pros!

[@therx81]

Why would 197 people give this video a thumbs down 🤷‍♂️. Best driver of all time.

[@GolfRulesQuestions]

This is a great video, learning how the best in the world strike the ball is important, almost as important as learning the Rules of Golf. Both can save you many strokes.

[@DoLaYGG]

Thanks for this video. Align for the 2nd target, i will try that method. Greets from Indonesia

[@jabjamar]

Rory has a video on how he hits bunker shots. I now could care less if I end up in the sand, although GIR was the plan. Lost all fear. He just says it as if this is what’s my best preferred method and explains why even though he can do them all. In this Video Rory shows why he has it all and willing to share. Thanks to Coach as well.

[@mickbanner]

Couldn't care less*

[@max-andrewmcmillan4235]

I was hoping they would talk about Rory's ignition, the dip, the sit down, what ever you want to call it, cos Rory's is magical.

[@shoeyxc]

Wow, that alignment tip at the beginning is game changing for me!

[@patersonplankrd]

Alignment and aim are everything. I learned from a friend who is a teaching pro. Why? Easy. My buddy told me to pick the shot first. Then commit to the shot. Set up set up set up. Pick s target close to the ball for aim. Then align to the aim point. Then " get out of the way of the swing. Let it happen"

[@MrTkeddo]

Congratulations Rory World #1 👍

[@rickgarza265]

Love the video ... it’s not technical or confusing ... just simply key factors from a master that we all wish to be 😂

[@Pembrey33]

Wow, a free lesson from Rory, bless

[@johnsmith42688]

I tried forever to fix mt driver and had numerous lessons and honestly I improved just watching how rory does his super wide takeaway and maintains that structure the whole.swing...it seriously helps so much...what a boss

[@dennisobrycki4029]

Nice video - this has been posted before

[@mikerodrick2430]

What I lacked is width in my swing because at the beginning of the backswing, I was keeping my hands too close to my hip instead of extending the butt of the club away & allowing space between them that makes my swing longer with a bigger arc. I was keeping them close in an effort to keep my arms connected for my body sequence while it's obvious that I should have been doing the exact opposite.

Can someone explain to me the 3 knuckle rule and how it helps control the club? Im struggling with my grip and I feel like it is causing me to lose control of my club path when swinging, TIA

[@phillp7777]

lookin down you can should see like 2 or 3 most knuckles of yur left top hand ( righty golfer like rory)... if u see like 4 knuckles u got a " strong" grip and mostly can will hook it go left alot... when rory young kid talkn bout it.. he's smaller weaker muscles not as strong arm upper body soo.. a strong grip w 3-4 knuckles showing makes it lil easier to hit hard stronger shots farther too... Really want to have more " neutral " grip... both hands work together not left dominate over yur right hand. look up " weak" grip see the opposite.. some players have that a weak grip.. can slice way easier w a weak grip. Goodluck

[@mpreiss7780]

[@tonyvasquez-progolfcoach1484]

Very good video. All of the great players mainly played one shape of shot. Fade - Hogan, Nicklaus, Trevino, Rahm, Koepka, and others; Draw - Jones, Player, Watson, Woods, McIlroy and others. Choose either a fade or a draw as your main shape. Never try to hit the ball dead straight. I mainly hit a draw with my driver for distance, and a fade with my irons and 3-wood for control, height, and stopping power. I shot a 60 on a very tough course that way. It works. Of course, putting is the most important part of the game. Learn how to read greens and how to putt, and practice your putting the most.
