Rotation & Shaft Plane // Ian's 2nd Lesson with Scott Cowx

[@ianfrasergolf]

Great feedback on the video guys, I’m really happy so many of you are enjoying the series. I definitely feel very fortunate to have Scott join us for this. For those of you that feel the lingo is still a little technical for you, stick with the series, when we’re all done I think you’ll have a better understanding of some of the key aspects of the golf swing.

[@mikemcreynolds6236]

Actually his focus points are very easy to comprehend I like the focus on the ribs to fire faster than the arms. Something I have been trying to accomplish, not letting my arms to race to the ball. Very rewarding.

[@johnsahhar7599]

I am eating this up. Scott is restating many things I was taught. You are a much, much better golfer than me, but it is interesting to see that we are learning and working on the same stuff. Great series.

[@Beats.town30]

Lambkin cross line - oversized & callaway - dawn patrol glove, should help the pronator teres issues for both of you.. thank me later🪃

[@stuartriddell3906]

It's nice to see a Tour Level Instructor's view on things, it's like being on the outside looking in. He is seeing things we might never even consider? i have already benefitted from that discussion about the left Rib Side, Tried it yesterday, it almost eliminates my slight "Over the Top Move" Education Eh. I am sure you will benefit from his instruction... Good Stuff

[@michaelmitchell6589]

Fantastic content - i was striping it this time last year with this exact feel and totally lost it for 6 months - this was a light bulb moment that has brought it right back.

[@johnverheyen812]

The bio-mechanical truths of Scott's instruction is refreshing; and kudos to the fact that he has several swing patterns he teaches (not a one size fits all). Takes a very complex athletic move, the golf swing, and makes it easy to feel the correct moves internally.

[@hochbeinz]

Fantastic video. True lightbulb moment for me. This will definately fix my high hands flippy swing. Went out today and put it to the test. Felt in more control of my ballflight than ever before. Thanks to Scott and team TXG.

[@jaredchadd7649]

Scott’s knowledge of the golf swing is insane! Fantastic content!

[@paulmoscicki2038]

Well done Ian. This is gold, it is like we are being taken behind the curtain. This is so inspiring. Also, this shows that golf is not an easy, simple game.

[@CWashburn80]

Never thought Chuck Barkley would be catching strays in a TXG video 😂😂😂 love this content guys. Lots of good info as someone with a similar swing motion

[@lawbinson]

Right? He's much better now than the hitchy swing he once had

[@mikemcreynolds6236]

@@lawbinson not much better 😂

[@jonfister3237]

Great video and great work Ian on working so hard on these changes. I’m very impressed with Scott and his ability to teach in small increments and how he’s such a proponent of feel. And having the student feel the move or motion. It’s not talk. It’s hands on feel oriented instruction to ensure Ian is feeling correct and incorrect sequencing. It’s so simple yet a lot of teachers can’t communicate this. It’s wonderful to watch and I got a lot out of this video and the previous. Ian and I fight similar motions so this has been awesome

[@jasondevine5779]

Thank you for posting these videos. I've been incorporating these lessons into my range time and I've lowered my launch, increased spin, and added 20+ yards of carry with my irons.

[@pede1959]

I really liked this episode. The way Scott explained different aspects of the swing and demonstrated with Ian was helpful in a sense that even i as a high handicapper could take something away. In fact checking the swing at the top for angle of the club and then hit from there was something i could use on my first of the year range session today. And it actually helped me hit where i was aiming rather than pull hooking.

[@slytown]

I love how Scott explains the forces here. Steepen the club with tilt, then shallow with rotation.

[@kingtosin]

I have been trying to figure out this transition from the top of the swing. Scott's tip on how to shallow the club and using the ribs to follow thru is fantastic. Can't wait to try it out.

[@josephdowler9344]

I love this series. Everyone is different and most of us want different things out of our swing. Following and sending to the rest of the guys.

[@golf007sd2]

Ooh that "rib move to the sky" is brilliant. Will surly put that in my memory bank once at the practice facility and put it to good use. Cheers!

[@garyhovey9305]

Like watching a master class of teaching! Love the ideas of pointing at the tee then turning without crushing the hand….boy that idea sure made Ian’s hip turn far more pronounced!

[@razakhan999]

great lesson!!! cant wait to try these things myself also . thanks for sharing!!!

[@eria7arka138]

I'm short (@ 5'-5"), with a larger rib cage and this swing pattern has been a total game changer.

[@marcogrieco3555]

Hello Boys, I played my first round of golf in 20 years yesterday (60 degrees F in NY) and shot a 91 (41 on the front nine). I need to thank you, James Robinson and Dennis, Peter Finch, AVG Golfer, Jon and Ash from Stacked golf, and Golfalot for reigniting my interest in golf. I just got fitted for a new full bag and can't wait for the weather to get warmer so I can play more often. (Paradym irons, Aerojet driver, Rogue fairway woods and Hybrid and a Hi-Toe wedge)

[@stuartholmes6262]

Scotts' remark about external rotation was a lightbulb for me. My shoulder injury and surgery have severely limited my shoulder rotation so this could be the pattern I need. Thankyou

[@peterd2077]

Never heard this from other online instructors…great instructions from Scott.. should have him more often …👍

[@naj959]

Love it Love it Love it! Thoroughly enjoy the instructor series you guys periodically do.

[@mwsports]

Tremendous insight. That thought to move the rib rather than just concentrating on hips is golden. I love how something that looked so shallow delivered a path around 2. Big muscles at work. Keep grinding Ian. It’s looking flush!

[@brianminnotte9688]

This is fantastic to follow the lessons & feel like you are saving mucho $$$ in watching these!!

[@The_sunday_lout]

Great stuff, I asked this question on Monday during the live. Think my question got misunderstood but this is what i was experiencing. Soft push slices but contact was very good. Much appreciate you guys bringing us along on your swing development. Your lessons with Scott, are for sure helping me.

[@austinlauer1910]

Love it. In a similar way to Ian trying to get the late wrist hinge out at the top of the backswing. You boys look like you're about to shoot a course record 👍🏼

[@andrewfraser2760]

Really interesting to see Scott's teaching process - something to try leading up to the season 🙂

[@TheDukeSilver69]

Awesome. Love this series. Picking up on a few things I can take away to work on with my own swing.

[@shanepettit4682]

Boys this series is so great. I've developed more of an Ian swing in this instance where I tilt too much and it causes me to go too In-out, causing blocks since I don't struggle with face control. I know the feels I'll be practicing this week! Keep up the great work gentlemen!

[@68wolffden]

Very well done Ian and thank you guys for this format in your vids. I learned a ton from this video to go out and try and practice with (18 hcp newish golfer and over the top swing) I can see how even this lesson can help so many different styles of golfers with different abilities. Can't wait for the next in the series

[@axelbahr5795]

Can‘t wait to get to the range and try myself and hope to have some good ones.

[@adamwhite06]

Awesome video. So much of this is in line with my swing faults.

[@trevorlow3977]

Absolutely stellar content!

[@zacharymilos392]

I loved working with Scott online. He's a like a tenured professor of the golf swing.

[@ericzellershow]

One of the best lessons! Now I’m going to buy a Galvin Green golf vest.

[@MrBrokentowels]

I’m lucky enough to watch a lot of PGA pro live and that’s the move they do!!!!!

[@thom7272]

Great Job Ian ! I really like the next piece he gave you about the rib rotating faster than your arm

[@gzman1]

different really, I often try pointing the butt end of the club at the ball or inside of it, I will have to try this

[@shamrockinfitz10]

I share in the same swing flaws as Ian so these drills are extremely important in understanding how to correct them. Thanks for the info

[@jontwibell2467]

Love this series with Scott!

[@kwalter2323]

Ian’s swing looks great. Don’t change much !

[@Joe-tq8fr]

OMG that extra radial motion at the top is me and the video turned on some light bulbs.

Can't believe this was free! Great content thank you!

[@lanerommel9056]

Thanks for posting these boys!

[@natebuyze4368]

This is awesome boys! I really identify with Ian’s swing characteristics and I can’t wait try to some of these drills! Thanks guys and keep up the awesome work 👍

[@exrog]

Love these lessons. I do wish that the launch monitor would list what iron you are hitting as I try to correlate the numbers with my swing. Imagine my shock to learn that when the numbers line up, I'm hitting a 5 iron, and you are hitting an 8 iron 🤔😩. Just a bit of humor in the middle of a blizzard. ⛳️😃

[@ianfrasergolf]

This was a 7ir in this video.

[@cubuffs5601]

Amazing stuff here!

[@PremusRed]

Ian, the first haywood woods are now up for pre-sale. Their driver looks like a blacked out sim on the top and inspired by the g400 on the bottom. Can we expect a review in the future?

[@josephbarrett697]

So Good, So Good, So Good! More, please.

[@griff_again]

Sponsors loving all their mentions in this one 😆

[@Golfgrinder1]

As someone who never got the throwing motion / is front side dominant this really speaks to me

[@kypass]

Very bold, I'm reluctant to make such drastic changes. I can see where the potential benefits can be. Does this change affect the loft/lie of the new i230's?

[@GolfWithKenzo]

Loving this series! How does this translate to longer clubs?

[@jonsmith9424]

Great insight. Is this technique transferable to the long stick. Would hate to have to have two swings (given that I don’t even have one!!) Tx.

[@gmuzz]

The difference in your swing is amazing. Almost makes up for the Scottish stereotyping 😊

[@ianfrasergolf]

🤣🤣

[@martyboysation]

need the freeflex review asap! boys

[@ww-oo7ic]

I completely understand what is being taught here and why but I also understnad the feedback about how it is communicted. It feels extremely scietific to me with a lot of fancy science words like "ulnar deviation". Given that I am more right brain I would be more inclined to work with Larry BUT and i want to be clear that I have all the respect in the world for Scott and his resume and can definitely see how someone left brain dominate would soak his style up.

[@mattc3233]

Ian! what irons are those lad? I see pxg but curious of model

[@ianfrasergolf]

0311T Gen5, I got them at the end of last year. They are genuinely some of the best irons I’ve played.

[@bobtaylor205]

Drop the arm and turn or crunch and side bend. Two techniques. Which one? Is the question.

[@stuartriddell3906]

Thanks.... Some amazing instruction...Scott's instruction is getting a bit Biblical here ? The last time God considered a Rib being significant in the Golf Swing it Created the LPGA Tour? Back then, we had to give one of those Ribs up !!! I'm still working on the Chicken Wing being my issue !! So while this is Brilliant ... It's certainly "Food for thought" Lovin It !!!

[@stephanefrigault1333]

If we armed like Jon Rham, not to much club mouvement?

[@coreygardner8424]

Not pros, but good to help each others swing.

[@marcopellegrini3883]

Interlock or Vardon better for this swing pattern?

[@perrygill]

I think Rory and Xander both interlock

[@ivanskripkin4242]

Hmm, Ian switched from Miura to Ping, but looks like using PXG during the lesson??? Any comments on this?

[@clubchampionmedia]

I’m still waiting on the Ping irons to arrive.

[@botrott]

Ian do you feel like the swing is left side dominant due to the left rib turning the corner?

[@ianfrasergolf]

Yes I do, which is a great feel for me as it takes out the “flip” at impact.

[@botrott]

Awesome, thanks. I feel when I swing with the right side it's always over the top and cannot get the path from the inside or square.

[@jack-hq7gr]

Lots of “internal” Thinking and doing stuff- how do you get this to be external- see target and hit ball to it? Like the explanations and models -but do most players have the time to practice and engrain such multiple concepts and feelings- Probably go play and be right back to old pattern?

[@chuckyz2]

I would say, because I do it, and it works, is, why not just take it back to the position below Ian? Like Rahm. All that taking it up then dropping it into the slot just adds another piece of movement that has to be accurately placed in order to be consistent. Stay on the same plane back as you will be on the way down. And if you watch the video, Ian on his best shot didn't take it to above Ian. Lol. Now if that above Ian thing allows for more speed because you can freely take the club back more, and it allows more speed, just keep it in the slot and rotate back more. Rahm only takes it back 75%. He is starting his down swing from where this lesson has you make another move on the way down from 100%. If you can see it and watch the pros, they are not going above Ian then dropping it back down. Some are. But most of the best ball strikers are not. Now this could be just a trick to exaggerate a feel. Teachers do that a lot.

[@Tubs0147]

Super vids. This guy is a genius. Pity he's so far away 🇮🇪

[@aidangriffiths5075]

Thankfully us irish lads have Hurling to help with our external rotation 😂

[@Joey1970T]

What’s with the PXG?

[@kevinoneill2170]

Ian mentioned in their video from this past Tuesday that he had experimented with a number of different irons, including PXG, before settling on his new irons for the season to replace his Miura irons. He ultimately did not go with the PXG irons but said he liked them in testing.

[@dtgps]

Check lists , essential for accountants and President of the USA. For a subconscious, chain action golf swing, happening in less than 1/4 second.. not so much. Right elbow, shoulder are controlled by the right hand(right hand swinger) One intention to keep right palm facing the sky at top of BS through impact, guarantees right elbow and right shoulder perform properly, as well as proper shallow plane.

[@lawbinson]

If it’s “too technical”, that means you can actually learn something.

[@beammeupscottsp7952]

Ian toe up?!! I must be dreaming.

[@ianfrasergolf]

😂😂, me too!! 🙌🏻

[@foreleftproductions756]

I'm the "KING" of late radial then....😵‍💫

[@ryang1910]

I struggle with path. I go decent in to out. I have been wrestling with how the wrists work in the swing. They are a major source of power. Don’t see much wrist in this model.

[@lawbinson]

When you feel no wrist hinge, there often is actually the right amount of wrist hinge. And you end up releasing your wrists with more force subconsciously.

[@chongannyap7562]

[@peter_molnar]

This coach reminds me of football coach we have in our country. He managed 1st league team which in 2 years period fall all the way to 3rd league under his lead, because no player could comprehend what he was trying to say to them. Now he is commenting football matches and stars in funny bet office commercials. No doubt that Scott has deep knowledge of the golf swing, no doubts there, but that was the case of this footbal coach too :) I just can't see how he can help lots of golf players with this explanation of what player should do in the golf swing, but thats just me

[@edj9961]

Sounds like you cannot comprehend his teaching.

[@ianfrasergolf]

I’m sorry but this is a terrible take and not remotely accurate!! Scott coaches at the absolute highest level in the game. He actively works with some of the best players in the world on The PGA Tour, DP World Tour, Korn Ferry Tour, PGA of Canada Tour and many many more. You do not coach at that level unless you are top tier. We a very fortunate to have to opportunity to work with him and to have him share his knowledge on the channel.

[@peter_molnar]

@@ianfrasergolf Yes that's exactly my point. To teach players who are well aware of their skills and they are putting a lot of work into their swing (a.k.a. professional golfers), yes he has for sure success with their teaching but I guess this channel is not full of professional golfers :D But the weekend golfer will go like "ha"?

[@BWen3]

Yea dude needs to not try and sound like the smartest guy in the room. Masters know how to communicate things in a way that even a 7 year old could comprehend.

[@peter_molnar]

@@BWen3 Exactly

[@michaelhattens1464]

7:58 "Now you can even hit it". Ian's body and mind literally freezes up and cannot move. He has recoil back up, and if you look closely at his downswing the top of the grip is back pointing slightly inside the ball again the he swings through. The good shots Ian had, all had the top of the grip aligned with the ball and even slightly inside. The two times he tried to shallow the club the most, the ball went way right. I simply can not understand this advice.

[@biggregg5]

I'm sure this guy knows his shit, but intuitively, I am such a straight back, straight through type of guy for the sake of simplicity due to lack of time to practice, that this type of thing is way above my pay grade.
