closed shouldera into impact is one part of the puzzle...mike malaskas right hand slap (finish shaking hands with rhand) ie no r.hand roll is 2nd part to give consistent draw. Dont put ball too.forw..ball off armpit keeps path in to out

Focus on and complete your swing... you are too anxious to turn around and look at the trackman. Watch your ball flight, them look at your numbers. It's hard to consistently swing good with the underlying thought being "What are my numbers?".

Zach is easily my favorite coach I've seen on KZbin or anywhere else. I wish I could find someone like him here in NJ. I'm rehabbing a week old meniscus tear and Im so anxious to get back out there. Everytime you post a Zach lesson, I love to see if I can incorporate some of your lesson into my swing. I'm saving this one so when I'm ready I'll be rewatching and then trying what I learned here on the range. Thanks for posting Ernie!

The scary part of this video is the realization that even after you think you have your swing grooved, you can completely lose it. Somehow, we have to be able to diagnose and fix what we're doing wrong on our own. Otherwise, I'll have to keep a coach on speed dial.

One of my fave videos of yours yet Ern… mainly because it’s so relatable at this current time! I’ve been playing pretty well (by my standards) but driver has been AWFUL! I’ve had a terrible straight pull left, so put it down to throwing my shoulder out way too soon. Anyway, went to the range today and just tried to feel like I was keeping my chest pointing back. SOOO much better… not only much straighter but so much more consistent with hitting centre of the face! Love your videos with Zach my man… keep them coming and keep smashing it with the journey… all the best, Chris 🇬🇧

Hi Ernie, very impressed by your golf videos. Trying to absorb as much as I can. In my 60s, 18 handicap, have taken lessons in the past, and remain very inconsistent. I have a question that I cannot find an answer to: During the take-a-way, do the hands remain square through to the top, or do they roll open with effort? In other words, with "square hands", when the hands reach about hip-high during take-a-way, the face is slightly closed; whereas, when the hands are allowed to roll open, the face points straight up to the sky, or slightly open at hip high. Thanks again. It's going to take me months to absorb you and Zach's lessons. Desperately hoping your videos will help.

@paulpickering90906 ай бұрын
I really enjoy your videos, however there's one little thing that I think you could improve. I understand that when you are indoors hitting into a net you can't see what happens to the ball so you turn around to see what your numbers are showing. It is a habit that you still do when hitting outside. Instead of watching the ball flight to determine what your club path etc. was, you rely on the numbers on the screen. I think to improve when you are out playing golf, you need to use the ball flight to help you understand what is not quite working and have a fix for it. Other than that, well done and I wish you well.
