Well, well, well...... finally, after too many years of playing mediocre golf, I am back in business. All because I have been trying to get rid of that left, hand crease. Being left, handed and playing right hand I have found your instruction easy to follow and do. Another bad practice for me was using an alignment stick and taking the club away straight instead of inside to inside. My old feel has come back and it is fantastic. My tempo is back and the saying from Jack Nicklaus that you can take the club head back slow and build speed up is back too. Stu thankyou. There are many swing gurus out there and most of them could not hold a candle to your knowledge. Thank you indeed. Martin.

Another stellar video, Stu. Keep educating us, we sorely need it. Knowledge is quite powerful, but only if used correctly and at the right time and place. I use to be one of those golfers who believed that I had to bow my lead wrist to square the clubface, and tried for years to do that with varying results (horrible advice from others who were completely wrong at least for my game). It wasn't until I adopted a stronger grip and let my entire body move naturally that I found my way. The results were better strikes, more distance and tighter dispersions, all with less effort. It's amazing how your body will do what's right if you let it. Cheers.

I havent been able to hit to many balls at the range yet because of the weather but i have been working on the grip. I have to admit it does feel different but i am slowly getting a feel for it.

Well, long time no talk. Caught this video and realized how opposite my struggles have been for so many years. The exaggerated swing you made has been me for years without knowing anything about path. Took a few lessons from the local pro and he has me setting up like Rocco Mediate and trying to go more steep with the shaft. I’ve had success but it has been fleeting. Work, vacation and grandkids have trumped practice. Men’s league has started and the scores are creeping up. The grip has slipped weaker and weaker also. Gonna head back into your archives and see if I can rejuvenate the swing. Hope you’re well my friend. Warm regards, NWH

That was awesome. For so long I played with a very strong grip. But i flipped it. So far in to out and big power draws with low flight. And my divots were pointing to the right also (right handed) with deeper divots. I played pretty good this way but i knew i had to change something. Now i have a neutral grip and swing a little out to in and hit straight to little fades with higher ball flight. I don't have that compression feeling anymore. I need to do what you are doing.

I've got the grip, I've got the pressure on the handle, I've got the crease or extension of the left wrist------> could I have missed the throwing of the club head from behind me and down and around the ball and that is what is losing me distance??? In focusing on the handle pressure I feel like I'm not throwing the club head anymore but just hanging onto the handle pulling it through the strike. Is the throw what I'm missing?????

@@GoodGolfCoaching Yes I under stand that in the pull phase but as you start to push down on the club shaft, do both the left hand and right hand push down. In other videos with a weight on the end of the club you show the right hand lifting up. Does this apply to the golf swing without the heavy weight or do both the left and right hand push down on the handle.

Hi Stu, as you have instructed previously the clubhead passes the hands with driver before the ball and after the ball with irons. I have question relating this video. Do you actively use the hands to move the clubhead after the pull phase or is it more passive initiated by the pull of the handle with the momentum of the clubhead causing it to pass the hands?

Can you tell us how you came to such a strong left hand grip since you grew up in, just like the rest us, golf knowledge that talked about a stronger grip, but not like what you now recommend? I'm interested in the genesis of your thinking or was it "in the dirt" to quote a famous golfer.
