Sir Nick Faldo Fixes An Amateur's Swing LIVE!

[@Richard-c6u1i]

Watched golf l8ve for 50. years in that time saw all the greats but by far Faldo is the purest striker of a golf ball I ever had the privilege to watch. Legend of the game.

[@Whatzzzz999]

What a classy person Faldo is. A true gentleman. Humble, funny, generous - and obviously so knowledgeable.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Agreed :)

[@lukyw720]

I saw a teaching session about first tee off nerves he did with kids ....must been 20 years. It never left me, not just golf, he said something along the lines of imagine you are the star of your own epic movie and you are just playing the part....bloody brilliant advice

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Love that!

[@davidreid2301]

Such a brilliant lesson! What a privilege to have a one-to-one lesson from Sir Nick!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Yes!!

[@mbsnetwork2650]

Nick is a humble and brilliant genius. Of course he was one of the all time best shot shapers however his ability to explain and demonstrate the complex subject in a comprehensive and straight-forward way is brilliant.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thank you for the kind words---we love watching Sir Nick!!

[@rogb3199]

[@richyclubsport5155]

Nick Mr fix it, he's actually a very funny guy, a few of us chatted to him at Wentworth many moons ago, on a practice day, he was very funny and accommodating, still got my program and glove that he kindly signed hanging in my office wall

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Love it!

[@andyetheridge]

I was at Troon for the open, the year Calcavechia won so late 80’s i think and Nick signed a book i had, still got it somewhere, need to find it!

[@SuperPeakey]

[@DonRushtheClassics]

Amazing! So much great info. Thanks for this!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thank you!! Our pleasure!

[@jonathanlambert7004]

Fixed my takeaway. Thanks Sir Nick you are a legend

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thank you!!

[@johnniejay]

Sir Nick is a national treasure 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Yes he is :)

[@DASH1ful]

Seve gave Faldo the left thumb tip. Faldo asked him how he could firm up his swing. And, he certainly is right about left hand and arm control. One great exercise is to hold the club out to the left and then press your left hand in front of the clubhead. This actually sets the club in motion on the correct arc. The takeaway is actually two dimensional. The extensors extend whilst the wrist joint pushes back. The extensors create the arc and the wrist joint broadens the arc.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Good stuff!

[@jekylthorn8969]

Faldo is my hero!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Love it!!

[@french0076]

This is senior swing masterclass!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

[@kymcha]

Yes, Nick is a natural born teacher.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

[@weather3d]

Hands forward at address, Sir Nick. Also, he could point the rt elbow towards his rt hip at address. Your tips are also spot on!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Yes!!

[@paulmarjoram2258]

A Master class.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks Paul!!

[@jaydanyloo]

Faldos shoe comment is gold 😂

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:)

[@jardupngolf]

Incredible as soon as he said curl your foot i was like this guys going to hit it straight 😂

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:)

[@tommyjames-o8p]

PGA tournaments have become so boring without Nick Faldo in the Booth.

[@paulwaldner7574]

I have this problem of pulling it for example my aim start point with any iron especially from 8 to pw is like 6 yards right of the flag and then my ball will end up in line with the flag I'll have to try that

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Hope it helps Paul!

[@outlander234]

The legs are probably least mentioned part of the swing out here on KZbin lessons world when in reality they are probably 50% of the swing. I know this because whenever I went to play when my legs were tired the consistency disappeared. They fire and control the hips so if they are out of whack everything else will be. Perfect example with this lesson.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Yes!

[@dougiemcbriar1998]

Absolutely brilliant Nick 👏👏👏

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thank you!!

[@alanfairley1387]

Faldo rocks

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Agreed :)

[@pbateman62]

They are some nice Louis Vintons

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:)

[@Not.Satoshi]

Good thing Eric was there. I hope for John’s sake it was a free lesson.

[@jgill1064]

5:13 "squeeze your right buttock and"...fart. 😂 oops...a bit too much squeezing going on? Or not enough? LOL

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:) Just the right amount!

[@johnh1353]

Nick was brave standing in the shank zone ....

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:)

[@aq7705]

Nick Knows!

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Yes!!!

[@bassmasta9117]

Where is this studio at?

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Boca Raton, FL!

[@robertflint4115]

The guy was almost always picking up that left heel and turning it in an inch or so.

[@phreak761]

It's gonna take a lot of repetitions to fix! 😮

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:)

[@StewartSpeirs]

So simple.

[@leeemery8099]

He forgot to put both Bollocks in his right pocket 😄🏌🏻

[@streetsoundselectro124]

He still moves his left foot later in the video

[@cynt1111]

Think this guy knows what he is talking about, who is he?

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:)

[@scottydog62]

🎉😅😂

[@JacobDaniels63]

Welwyn Garden City swimming champion 1971

[@cynt1111]

A friend of mine was pro at WGC. Said when he arrived in the morning his bike was chained up outside the pro shop. When he left it was still there. Faldo earned everything he’s got through hard work.

[@JacobDaniels63]

@@cynt1111 absolutely. One of the hardest workers in golf history

[@Wolvesfan-oz6yh]

Show more knuckles on the lefthand.

[@DaveWtn]

How many things has he given that guy to think about?? 😂 Curl your toes on your left foot. Swing in to out. Close your stance. Don't grip with the right fore finger. Engage your knees. His head must be battered.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:)

[@CaribSurfKing1]

VOlume issues on the recording

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Sorry about that!

[@timcaton8351]

Oh, that was simple😅 sheesh

[@jdhrap]

Every bad shot after Nick recognizes the left foot issue…is his left foot still moving.

[@terrymurray9818]

I don't have any toes

[@ngc-fo5te]

Take up swimming.

[@wordofmo]

I can’t imagine what this guy must’ve paid for this lesson. Or how much Eric had to pay Sir Nick.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:)

[@DualApproachGolf]

This is such an easy fix ... you guys are making it way too complicated. Obviously he's casting slightly and his shoulders are too quick. Fix the casting by placing a tee or any small object 1 ft in front of the ball and slightly off to the right and tell him to swing through that plane. Secondly, just have him fire his hips before his shoulders by telling him to make his first move forward pressing his left heel down hard - this will elimate the casting and drop the club into an inside plane. At this point, his problem should be fixed but also i would have him just stand with feet shoulder width apart and take an iron and just practice for 30 seconds switching the weight back and forth between left foot and right foot while slightly sweeping the ground to get used to shifting his weight. Either way this was not the right approach that Faldo took (in my opinion). Long story short, as long as the hips are out ahead of the hands (clubhead), you won't come over the top. Anyone who casts typically has too much involvement with their upper body and not enough hips.

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

Thanks for the feedback!!

[@777driver3]

You must be David Leadbetter

[@bobmackey8851]

Chooch

[@ciaradonnelly4627]

The guy's stance seems a little wide, this will restrict his ability to turn freely

[@cliffmanley9153]

They keep telling him to close it. He does a little then fidgets it back as he addresses the ball. It's so hard, especially for us olduns to change 😂

[@PerformanceGolfZone]

:)

[@roberthaar]

Short back swing, lousy tempo, inconsistent contact.

[@stefanh8454]

Great! That solves everything!

[@stabilis8895]

Tempo wasn't that bad!

[@kikuk4585]

Too much info.. silly gimmick exercises Simple way… But a soft practice ball under your right shoe arch and keep the pressure on through the back swing Use your left hand to push the club into the takeaway and NOT your right hand pulling the club Use your left arm to pull the club in the downswing like a toilet chain your right hand just follows Watch the club hit the back of the ball Replace your divot with a smile because the strike felt so sweet Walk down the middle of the fairway to hit your 2nd shot onto the green Laugh because the game now feels easy Your welcome

[@courtneyjasiak7788]
