Perfectly affirms what I was trying today. Thanks for making it right. At 55 yrs and back, shoulder etc issues this simple stress free swing is perfect for me now and into the future. Have been swinging it too flat and blocking/pushing driver with occasional snap hook in for good measure. Your video clearly explains to me why it has been occurring. Thanks again.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Thank you, we can still play some great golf as we age. Hopeful the Vertical Line Swing is doing that for you.

Hello, I'm not a senior (37) but I am new to golf and I've watched that many KZbin videos from various KZbin coaches. I was hooked on the Ben Hogan swing style but I've come to terms finally that it's never going to happen for me. I've just found this video talking about the vertical line system. This looks really good be and I think it's cc a swing I could easily do better at. Also as a side note the green line is bang on the line the sheet of glass depicted in the Ben Hogan fundamental book as in going from the golf ball right through the neck. Brilliant. Kris from UK

@@USGOLFTVshow Hi. So I've been on the course today trying to swing more vertical. I did a few decent 5 iron and 7 iron shots on the fairway. But I didn't do well with the driver at all off the tee. I just couldn't connect well. Topping or shanking the ball. And if I did connect with the ball it was a almighty embarrassing slice that landed on the opposite fairway. So not sure want I've done wrong. I sometimes suffer with slice but today was awful. So need to have a think what's gone wrong. Any idea?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

@@krissaundersjoinery2881 make sure you are getting a full hip turn with the driver. This is key as the clubs get longer. We cover this in great detail in The Bad Lie

Great to hear! Have you seen my book where the entire Vertical Line Swing is covered. See www.badliegolfbook.com/

[@mlinder2000]

After trying for a couple years to make the flatter Hogan type swing work I had a trusted instructor suggest that I go back to my natural vertical swing which looks allot like Craig Stadler. So being thick chested and now getting late 50s I tried it again but now I focus on the idea of trying to punch the ball with my right hand into impact. After some practice it has brought about more lag and speed, giving me that whip through the ball I'd been missing as a slight draw. Looking forward to springtime now

[@bobmansfield1226]

I am completely new to this swing but find it so body friendly and easy to execute. Being an oldie this swing eliminates rotation which I have always used and makes the swing more to my liking. It will take a little time to fully adjust to but suits me perfectly. I have always had a closed stance and shoulders in my old swing but to a larger degree than what you instruct. This reduced closure and the vertical swing is more to my liking and comfort. Will keep you posted on my progress. Thanks a bunch Todd this is something different but just what I need. Stay well.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Bob, you speak the truth my friend. As we age, the body does not move like it use to and therefor the swing needs to adjust. We all can play some great golf as we get older if we simply move the way the body wants to....keep up the great work and thanks for posting!

[@billvarga8336]

Great video Todd. I have just taken up golf 4 months ago. I have found more control with a shorter back swing after taking lessons and listening to buddies who all put all their might into the swing have tried to tell me different. I don't have a fast swing but I am finding more fairways lately than many others I have been golfing with. I started out getting around 65 on 9 holes and in 4 months I am now around 55 on nine on average. I stopped lessons after 2 because all it did was confuse me and messed up what I had going. I did what felt good to me and didn't care what others thought. It happened to be pretty much what this video shows. Great job and thanks for letting me know it's just fine doing what I do. :) Still getting better week by week happy to say. :)

My driver usually goes straight and between 135 and 160, but on bad days, I do tend to slice (over the top). These tips should help me have better control.

[@billoliver9814]

After on from the other side of the world, Thank you for the video. Excellent!! In you VLS approach you appear to focus on the arm swing and the direction of that swing, as the key drivers. Body rotation or pivoting appear to be 'responsive' actions - no specific mention of 'turn' or 'tilt' or the blend of the two. Are my assumptions correct? Is the conscious focus almost exclusively on swinging the arms club unit on a more cretic all (Ferris wheel) type plane Pls comment. Thank you, Bill

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Thank you, where you from?

[@mikemazza1803]

Todd, I have the Vertical Line System but have a question. In the set-up, you advise to close your stance slightly right of the target line. When you do this, is your clubface square to the target line or square to your slightly closed stance (which I assume means the clubface a bit open). Please advise.

[@richthomann8405]

When you come down so vertical how do you keep from going straight into the ground? That’s what a vertical swing does for me!

[@allanbenoit8305]

I really feel like the vertical line swing is more natural and what the body is inclined to want to do. The other way feels forced and unnatural, in my opinion. For example, when I hit driver, I maybe have the driver go up not even 3/4, but am able to really get some good zip behind it. I think this is where teaching can go wrong. If you work on good fundamentals that are incorporated into a golfer's natural swing, then that's a win. I'm a huge proponent of this method, Todd. Excellent job!

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Allan, appreciate these kind words...thank you! We agree, the traditional style is not bad information, it is just not the right information for most "experience" golfers....

[@billkingsbury4667]

I'm a new "experienced" golfer and end my round/practice with a sore back and am wondering if it is because I've been taught to swing around the body to avoid coming over the top and slicing. I think I'll try this vertical swing this weekend and see how it goes. thank you for the insight!

Good evening from Sunny South Africa Interesting vid. Thank you!! From your demo, it appears that the arms are the 'motion drivers' with the body supporting and facilitating. Is that correct? Secondly, , the rapid elevation of the shaft pitching upwards in the vertical dimension suggests an early set of the wrists in a push/pull manner. Is that correct

@@billoliver9814 yes, we have found a more vertical lead arm helps all golfers but most notably older golfers. We cover all this in our book The Bad which you can find here www.badliegolfbook.com

[@simonthorpe6971]

Loving the VLGS as you know now!!one query re feet position in stance! Would you advocate right foot back slightly to help with hip turn as well? Simon, Southampton

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Yes, spot on. We like the trail foot back and slightly flared, which helps the hip turn and promotes more of the in to out swing path. Important distinction: your stance will be slightly closed relative to your target line, but your club will still be square to the target line...this is a perfect recipe for a high draw!

[@alanduncan9204]

Even Moe Norman wirh his single plane swing wanted to finish high hands club pointing straight up. Jim Vinetos teaches a swing that finishes hands high and hits out to 1 o'clock. I prefer more vertical to low and round.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

You are spot on, Moe Norman is one of the all time greats and had the high finish...a good one to mimic. Thanks Alan!

[@dougwhite4886]

Hi Todd, really enjoy your KZbin Videos, you have really helped my game. I catch myself getting caught having to really make an effort to get the club back around in the downswing. I am wondering, with the Vertical Line Swing being more upright, do I need to modify my Lie Angle with my irons? Thanks again Todd.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Doug, good question. Not really unless you do a club fitting and they suggest. However, I would say it is better to have clubs a little too upright than flat as it will help promote a draw ball flight.

[@davidweinstein2620]

Hi Todd. I have been trying a vertical line swing for more than a year now, but it is not working. Moree specifically, I do EXACTLY what you demonstrated here in the practice swing. Then I try to repeat it on the real swing and feel that it was more vertical, and it may be, a bit. But isn't really more vertical. So your concept is great, but please give us a PROCESS that would help change to the vertical swing. I finish vertically, but suffer from a horizontal backswing, which means a draw a lot, but since I take the backswing horizontally My hands are not coming up as they need to. So what are the drills, or set of drills that would put me on the path of this change? Thank you very much.

[@stevemarcus3902]

I am 67 years old and an 8 handicap. My swing traditionally has been a very flat, around the body swing. As I have gotten more "experienced", I have been trying to make my swing more upright and vertical to lessen back strain as you have shown in your videos. My issue is that I have been struggling with push fades much more now. On the simulator, I am 2 to 3 degrees coming from the inside, but the clubface is open 5 to 6 degrees. I am tending to cup my left wrist more on the backswing than with my flatter swing. I have a strong left hand grip which cups the left wrist a bit anyway, but the more upright I swing, the more the push fade becomes an issue. suggestions?

I’ve always hit the ball better with a more vertical swing until I was told that I was “arm swinging” and needed to “fix” that. Now, I am hitter flatter and can’t get the ball down range and am not hitting any greens. My 7 iron is a paltry 125 yards. I still have good range of motion and good club head speed. I am going back to my vertical. I am 69 years old and play 4 or 5 times a week.

Todd, can this swing be used with a more open stance? Seems the high handle finish is easier when I flare the lead foot out and pull it back a little
