That putting tip of keeping your head down saved me many strokes. Love it

[@mistareee]

One of the better golf videos I have seen in recent memory.

[@rickpolkinghorn8121]

Hi Jimmy. Hope you are well. I watch all of your videos - -but this one I have watched three times. Why? I thought I was keeping my head down when I would swim the club or putt - - but guess what: I WASN'T!!!! Thank you so much it has made golf much easier , I actually see what I am doing. And at 72 (in Maine) I am out on courses in 30 degree weather and practicing like I was 12 years old. So fun. Thanks a million, keep it coming. You make golf FUN - - but also simple which is awesome!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

You are the “everyday man” golfers instructor. Practical, simple and with no preconceived notions that the average golfer will shoot in the 70’s. I’d love to but realistically it would be easier for me to win the lottery. Than you!

[@derekpotter2828]

I focused on this today at the range and OMG, what a game changer. Thank you so much for sharing this. Today I hit my 8i 175 yards. My typical distance with this club is 140 yds. Simply awesome tip!!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Thats amazing. Im glad its working for you. Thanks for watching!!

[@garygodfrey9708]

No BS man, I watch a lot of golf videos. More than you should probably. But you have made 3 short videos that gave me what I wanted, a simple repeatable easy golf swing. I have taken 8 strokes off my game so far. Today I played 18 holes without going into the water or a bunker, that’s never happened since I moved to Myrtle Beach SC. What changes did I implement was this. 1. the head stays behind the ball during impact and swing up not around to my left. 2. rotate my hips back in the backswing then toward the target in the downswing. 3 at the top of my backswing the butt of the club down towards the ground, and on the downswing aim the club butt toward the target. That’s changed everything for me. Thank you man, your videos were a real no BS simple fix for my swing…

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Thats awesome man. Glad you enjoyed them. Keep up the good work

[@fernandov2838]

Which of all the short videos?

[@gcoffey223]

Jimmy is what all non pro golfers need to hear. Absolutely in a few vids and a few rounds, I'm in and closer to 70's than the 90's. A few 79's, a 78, and a few low 80's. 5 or 6 rounds in, so consistent, so effortless, so simple. Jimmy is a gem

[@nancyconnolly2210]

Yup, of course just watching the blurr of your practice swing tells you where your swing is going. Just swinging like your throwing your club to the target helps keep your head still and behind the ball at address. Keeping your head down is a misnomer. You only keep your head back. Just saying keep your head down, and most beginners try to keep their head down through the entire swing which is a swing killer. Keep your head back but allow it to rotate with your shoulders as you throw the club through the target like you naturally do if you’re target oriented.

[@nancyconnolly2210]

I’ve always had a problem with keep your head down on a full swing. It’s a swing killer. Jimmy doesn’t do it. His head follows the ball like it should after impact and towards the target. Swing like you are throwing to club towards the target does everything for you.

[@ChaplainTerryWarner]

I am a 77 year old Senior. I set my goal to break 90 this year. So yesterday, I played around snow drifts and mud. I swallowed my pride and on #1 pulled out my 3 iron. At the end of 9 holes, I had shot a 44. I did used the driver on the last 3 holes because by then, I was loose enough to swing the club. Lost no balls and played in the fairway all 9 holes. WooHoo! Thanks Jimmy 😊

[@allanbenoit8305]

Jimmy Tropicana! Wasssssssup. This happened to me some time ago and once I started doing this, my putting soared miles. Still practicing with irons and driver and making vast improvements. Love this brother! Ty

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Keep grinding my brotha!

[@r.s.5431]

Thanks for the tip. Reminds me of what an older gentleman told me years ago. "Look up and see a bad shot."

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Never looked up and saw a good shot. -AP

Great content! I like the tag line of “keep your spirits high and your scores low”. Thank you

[@gcoffey223]

I'm fairly new, but this guy changed my game forever. He's genius.

[@harrytd]

Many thanks. This makes perfect sense! I had the same experience yesterday. Once I got a lost ball off a tee and subsequent double-bogey I started to look up to see where the ball was going for the rest of the round, not realizing what I was doing. Instead of going back to keeping it simple I was swamped with swing thoughts - and of course, disaster.

[@msmitty28]

Love the videos Jimmy. I swear the same BS was happening yesterday at the range. Wedges and short irons were all great until I moved up to longer irons, woods, especially the driver. Super nasty 20-30 yard hook which left me scratching my head. I can almost guarantee it was a product of my head going + finishing low. Thanks for the insight.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Hey im glad you're starting to figure it out. keep the head back! thank you for watching and for the support. I have I have your support with the new TROPICANA golf balls I just launched.

Best tip I’ve heard in a long time.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

It really works

[@gregsaiter3768]

Great Tips. I need this. On a side note about the putting: Gary Player once gave the following putting tip: When you putt LISTEN for the ball to fall into the cup. He said: so many players hear me but they need to LISTEN for the ball to hit the bottom of the cup.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

I totally agree. Most intense 4 seconds of the game lol

[@billenright2788]

Soooooooooooooooo true. I used to hit all my short clubs left due to this head move bs. Great tip bro.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Keep it steady!!

[@09Youba]

Excellent instruction. After over 30 yrs. as an instructor. I would say many instructors are afraid to say keep your head down. But they need to say keep your head down and show pictures of Pros that drop down on their down swing when they strike the ball. On putting keep it still and down until the ball is a count of 2 toward the hole.

[@atfinthehouse8631]

Taking this all back to the course this am in about an hour. Great review. Thanks.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Hope it worked

[@garymorris1856]

Sir, you are absolutely correct, (and I have difficulty with moving my head). I watched some golf tips from the great Bobby Jones, and I was amazed, his head NEVER moves!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Totally true!

[@mesillahills]

There is actually a tip that changed mine. The first four inches of the take-away is ultra critical just as Nicklaus insisted all of his life. He never told why. It is because it is the only place in your swing where you can start the club back with your big body trunk muscles. Once past that point it is too late. The arms and shoulders did it and the swing from there is all timing. Timing never lasts even from the range to the first tee. The touring pros call it being "connected". (body to arms and shoulders). Once skilled at this, the need for timing is reduced by about 90 percent. It actually is not easy to do because most people have done it wrong all of their life.

[@redghost3170]

Agree. I couldn’t hit my driver until I learned to stay behind the ball, keep head still, and definitely NO swaying. I went from 120’s to low 90’s. Been playing for two years.

[@gregorywright1684]

Right on! I found the same thing yesterday. My buddy commented " your head is in a vice" It works for me.

[@z-man2343]

Very similar to my situation. Was shooting high 70s-low 80s then my game fell apart...either dead pulls left or off the planet slices and completely lost my touch on the greens. For the life of me I couldn't figure out why. Thankfully, an older, wiser playing partner noticed my head turning with my swing and kindly told me so. Bingo! Instant fix and happy golfer once again. One caveat however. Don't go overboard and keep your head too rigid while swinging. It's okay to let it move some backward and forward. The key is keeping your eyes on the ball until it's well off the clubface.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

that's the true secret!

[@koreysmith3635]

Great stuff. Thanks, Tropicana.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Thanks for watching

[@andreysto1202]

It actually does work! I've been playing like this all season and it still works. Encourages better rotation, whereas head up almost always equals EE (early extension). Good tip!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Its tried and true! Enjoy!!

[@eddien9634]

Thanks for this stellar tip my man! Literal game changer for a head bobber like myself, cheers!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

It makes all the difference. Keep it DOWN!

[@rickeyfoster852]

Just found your channel and I have to say some of the best tips for the common golfer like me. I am trying to start playing again after about a 10 year hiatus and you show things in such a way that you don’t need to be a five star athlete to do it. Love your videos

[@cliverose9958]

Great video! The only thing is that the head down idea can become a problem if you go too far with it. You can end up not releasing properly. But you’re absolutely right that you should stay in the shot through impact.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

head down and release. Its very hard to keep your head down "too long". Its a great thought to have. The momentum will keep you going.

[@jimsaddler942]

Perfect! Thanks so much for sharing that with us. Makes absolute perfect sense!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Hope it works for you

[@dennisbrunkow3183]

Great teaching! You've got my attention!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

[@gcoffey223]

Went from high 80's to low 90's to high 70's very low 80's. That vid on ball position JT did INSTANTLY ended my career hook. If you haven't seen it, it seems to go against everything we've been taught, but the results are real. BEST!!

[@openstenosis]

So true! On the flip side of this one could argue what’s the downside to really exaggerating keeping your head down? (There isn’t!). Thanks for sharing this gem!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Hope it works for you!

[@alecrosekrans]

Couldn't be more wrong. There are any numbers of videos on KZbin about how keeping your head down through the release is a recipe for a terrible golf swing.

Hi Jimmy great video as usual. Just as a tip what I’m usually doing if I have messed up with my swings or putting is I make notes and go to driving range to find the way to fiz it and when I found it I will write it down in my notes, so I have many notes again and again. If we don’t document the mistakes and the correction we will forget again at some point of time😊

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

negative. I usually hit an iron to the middle of the fairway.

[@mattnewhouse2131]

Best tip I’ve literally ever heard

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Its a good one man. Enjoy

[@shorttripfromcradletocript]

I'm a new golfer at age 70 as I now have the time for it in retirement. I have intentionally not taken any lessons as I learn skills by watching others, thinking about what they are doing and what I am doing. One of the first things that struck me when I started to play with some good golfers was how inconsistent they were on occasion. They would become very frustrated not knowing why. I was amazed as I assumed these folks had it dialed in and would hit it perfectly every time because I didn't know golf. But it was obvious to me it seemed but of course I didn't say anything as I'm the new guy and thought maybe your supposed to let your head and shoulders flow through the swing. But you nailed it. They would become distracted and bingo that head would turn on impact and the shoulders moved as you demonstrated. The more frustrated they became the more it would turn and they now had a dumpster fire that spiraled downward into that special place I now know exists, golf hell.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Hahahahaha. Amazing explanation! Thanks for watching

[@shorttripfromcradletocript]

Thanks and more importantly thank you. I went out today and shot one of my best if not the best round of my short golf career with an 81. Did the waggle routine you suggest and kept my head down finishing in front instead of the usual left side. I have never hit so many greens as I did today with my approach shots and that little white ball went straight, to my utter surprise, and of course the key,: clear the mind no swing thoughts just Costco cheese pizza. It's a simple game however the cerebral cortex wants to get in the way and make it much harder.@@TropicanaEntertainment

[@atfinthehouse8631]

Pivot movement over a central stable axis. Same thing taught in baseball.

[@LukesHardware]

Hey man, I love the fact that you document your journey. I have a helpful tip for your putting. Keeping your head still is definitely very important and you have that right, and you're also putting with your shoulders which is correct. What you need to eliminate is the hip movement, it's like a mini version of the iron swing follow through and when putting you don't want it at all. Putting really comes down to a still head, movement with the shoulders, you should feel like a pendulum when you put, keep the legs still, keep your eye on the ground for a second after your put and lastly, reduce your follow through stroke. Your follow through stroke is a little long and that might be what is encouraging you to follow through in your hips, shorten the follow through to about 6 inches, you only need to make it longer than that if the put calls for it, which you might find a longer backswing and follow through more smooth than a shorter but more powerful movement of the shoulders. I hope this helps man, enjoy the golf!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

I will try it. The less you do in golf, the better. Thanks for watching.

[@nicholasdemetriades9154]

Yes. Great tip. Get lazy sometimes and start lifting the head too early. You want to let the head turn kind of like how you would do in the back swing. Heads on a swivel feeling.

You got a great swing! Thanks for this tip. I hit a lot of pulls and I wonder if my head is moving with my shoulders. I know I get outside to in a bit and sometimes I flip it, but I think my head is moving too much

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

A moving head causes the shoulders to move, causing the ball to go left. Hope this helps

[@DougWalbourn]

A drill from an old golfer-- for a split second look for the color of the tee, you will never see it but your head will stay steady as you describe, for irons same thing except look for where the ball was! "divot" or fluffed grass.

hi a few years ago at the players dinner at the masters, Tiger was sitting next to Gary Player, Tiger said Mr Player im confused about my swing !!! Gary said back, "Tiger i've played with everyone, Byron Nelson. Ben Hogan, Jack, Tom Watson Nick Faldo , everyone, I've never seen In 60 years any of them turn left through the ball " a bio mechanic guy called Doctor Hurrion measured in one year all the european pga tour pros on force plates, on the down and forward swing through impact their weight went linear down the target line !! in fact the best players went 'down the line' further than the others, yes they eventually rotated left but that was after the extension down the line. cheers great video

[@KayakFishingAddict]

LOL, I just suffered a 2 week gap of the same issue. Although I don't think of it the same. I think what you've really discovered is your shoulder plane was wrong. When you're hitting like Tyson your plane is horizontal, in other words your shoulders are turning more level to the ground. When you're hitting it good your shoulder plane is more in the 45*+ level...in other words your right shoulder is much lower than your left shoulder at impact. BTW it's similar with your putting. Your solution to "keep the pumpkin on the vine" (aka head down) helps to change your shoulder plane.

So I was on a run where I was hitting my 7 iron 170- 175 yards - absolute missiles ( I am 57 years old) with an insane release. My thought was to look at the ball 3 inches behind it. Eventually, I started hooking it again. This EXPLAINS why that was working briefly. I bet once I started allowing my head to follow with my turn I was toast !! I think you are on to something. My weak 7-iron is 153-156…
