Thanks for the comment. Hope all is well and your golf game is still clicking along!

Michael, thanks for the fantastic video. I need to modify my approach to range time. I am fighting a couple of bad tendencies - the backswing is too long especially with the longer clubs, and I struggle to get to my front side properly. The impact mat may help as I feel like staying on my back side shows up in the clubhead path. I have the image of the correct swing in my head but cannot get the message to my body. Golf is hard.

Golf is hard and that is why we need to practice correctly. I just gave a lesson to a former D1 quarterback and he was also a very good baseball player. He didn't make a correct backswing pivot. So you think I could tell a good athlete what to do and he could do it, right? Wrong. I had to get him in the mirror and instruct him to make correct reps in the mirror to learn the motion. The brain just cant tell the body what to do, a habit must be formed. Practice the desired motion over and over with out the ball to learn the movement pattern. Thanks for the comment and keep watching!!

For consistency, I'm convinced its all about having the same length of irons. Nothing screws me up like an unfamiliar iron and I immediately chunk it. Another thing I've noticed is that I gotta get my swings out immediately and maybe start focusing on technique after about 20 balls are hit. Most men don't have a lot of time to practice and are eager to start swinging and seeing feedback (thus the popularity of hitting the driver/TopGolf). If you get to golf everyday you can be more pensive and thoughtful about your practice schedule (like the Pros).

[@BrisGolf]

What?? That made no sense, hahaha. Why are you playing with unfamiliar irons? What does Top Golf have to do with my video? And what does the same length irons have to do with changing your golf swing? Your comments are usually good DealaMeal, but that was a wacky comment!!!

[@dealameal5242]

@@BrisGolf Let me explain myself. I get used to playing my 7 iron because I'm comfortable with it and then when I switch to the lower irons...it feels off (I think Bryson plays irons of all the same shaft-length which makes sense). Most people don't get to golf even often. Also "getting my swings out" is the initial feeling when going golfing or range and you are very enthusiastic so most people take uncontrolled swipes until they settle down. I bet most people play the first few holes much worse than latter holes because of this phenomenon to rush outta the gate. Uncontrolled swipes are the hallmark of Top Golf. I'm sure some golf-nerds go there and act like they are at the Masters, but most just want to start wildly swinging; this is applicable to most amateur golfers on the course as well.

Okay, your explanation makes sense of your first comment. The reason I talk about practicing at home is because most people can't get to the course as much as they would like. It is better not to hit balls when changing your swing. And as far a get your swings out, that is one of the big reasons people never improve. You have to be more disciplined and be in control of your motion and golf club.

@@BrisGolf Practicing at home is no-good. The reason is you don't really get feedback unless you have one of those $10K home set-ups. Its very hard to mimic the feel of playing at home and I feel like that's 70% of golf. Most men have to get their swings out because we are looking forward to it all week. Jack Nicklaus said "It takes a thousand good swings to build your confidence and one bad swing to destroy it." That's why its so hard for most of us. Somedays I feel my swings are great and I can literally play the next day and I can't hit a pure shot to save my life. That's why we're all on youtube trying to figure this stuff out.

@@dealameal5242 You are still not getting the point of the video. What you are doing does not work. You have to make correct repetitions. That is why you should practice the motion without a ball. That is why the impact mat and the mirror. It is the proven way to learn a motor skill. The way you are practicing along with everyone else prevents you from change.

i need a drill to help me on downswing timing as im approaching ball impact and hip turn. when viewing a recording of myself, i seem to be late when rotating my torso. hope i worded that correctly …

[@BrisGolf]

I think I can help. Make a backswing and stop for a second or two. Then feel yourself tap the ball maybe 20-30 yards, and feel like you do it all with your chest and upper body. This will get your body and arms moving together and give you some rhythm and timing. Once you can hit it solid stop pausing at the top of the backswing. Then as you continue to hit solid shots, gradually increase the speed of your body. Keep the arms feeling slow. Let me know how it goes and thanks for the comment.

I would like to ensure or improve impact position a 2:13 nd increase swing speed and power. Believe can simulate impact position but what’s best process to increase power?

[@BrisGolf]

speed and power will come with a better pivot and efficient swing motion. Also improving impact will create more power. So make sure you are using the pivot to deliver the club to impact. You also may need to improve your physical body. I have older videos on all of these topics. Thank you for the comment.

[@BrisGolf]

I just uploaded a video that will help you with both of your issues. Take a look.

[@geoffcohen613]

The major problem is that golfers self assess their swings which means incorrect diagnosis and wrong repetitions which is even worse. For example, i played last week with a guy who was talking about needing to shallow out his golf swing. Why i asked who told you this.. he had watched You tube and decided the way to fix his consistant fade. He thought the fade was a slice. He has never been to a pga pro for lesson so told him to go get a lesson. His set up and ball position was wrong yet he was focussed on wrong cure. He went and saw pro who his ball position, and instant improvement in 10 swings. Morale if story is practice the wrong moves makes you worse.

100%. Thanks for the comment.
