How a Single Line Can Teach a Simple Golf Swing (VERTICAL LINE GOLF)

[@Miller3308]

I’m a younger guy and use this swing. You answered some good issues I’ve been encountering

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Great! We cover the entire Vertical Line Swing in our book The Bad Lie which you can find here if interested www.badliegolfbook.com/

I started golf about 9 years ago and now a senior golfer (65 yrs. young) and this video has help me more than any instructor has in person or online. Must say I like you simple and plain approach to instruction. Thanks for making my golf swing much better. Ow I know how to practice!

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Greg, you made our day! Thanks for the kind words. We are focused on making the game simpler and easier to understand, specifically for the “experienced” golfer. More great content to come. 👊

[@denniswhite2885]

Totally enjoy Todd's teaching methods and presentations . I've picked up some valuable tips that really help.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

You got it!! Nothing better than sharing what we have learned with our fellow golfers...

Love your videos! Your channel, Rick Shiels, and MrShortGameGolf have been immensely helpful to me since I started playing again at the end of March(I'm 34 and haven't played since I was like 12 or 13 years old.) I played another sport for 20 years that helped me develop quite above-average hand-eye, balance, and functional strength which has translated well to being a quick learner as well as way ahead of where I should be with my golf skills. Got really out of shape due to COVID but I've been using golf to get out and get some exercise. Channels like yours and the others I mentioned help me with golf-specific skills. I've played four or five rounds on a local nine-hole par-three and only ever lost two balls while shooting between +10 and +15. Played nine on the par 72 for the first time last week, only lost one ball, and shot 60. Pretty good for a 34 year old born-again golf newbie who is out of shape, I'd say. Very devoted to improving and your videos have been a big part of my progress so far. Thanks a lot!

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Awesome post right here....Rick and MrShortGame are solid instructors. Proud to be mentioned with them!

[@j1238066]

what club & shaft are you swinging here in this video ?

[@andygittins7629]

Great video thanks Todd

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Andy, our pleasure. What part did you find the most helpful?

[@inusprinsloo1257]

Hi, Would you do the same with the Driver?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Yep.

[@anthonypollen4520]

I don't have line view. Is there anything I can use instead?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Certainly, so the Live View is great at helping us convey the concepts we teach, and has great instant feedback. You can always record yourself from face on with your phone, and look for two things: 1. Make sure the lead hip is over the lead foot (60/40 pressure at address) 2. When you finish the swing, your knees should look like they're touching. Focus on those two positions and you are on your way!

[@skipweatherford557]

Hey Todd, I'm still waiting to see the video on hitting uneven lies on the fairway. Thanks

[@USGOLFTVshow]

We have a new tip on hitting shots above your feet coming soon! We'll keep working through other uneven lies in the future as well...stay tuned!

[@glennneave8684]

Hi what app can supply the line please

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Glen, sorry. Not sure what you are asking?

[@skipweatherford557]

V-1 Golf is the app I use.

[@hosemann6]

If qe dont have your fancy machine for line how can I do this.

[@tonytrantas30]

I am left handed and my right wrist is fused. I can not cock my wrist. How can I get more distance??

[@robertmicheletti5296]

Can you buy CD’s of this lesson

[@USGOLFTVshow]

We actually have an entire digital series built around the Vertical Line Swing, which we are currently selling half price to our followers! www.verticallinegolf.com/youtube

[@tonystopar7329]

My tempo is so bad right now I think I could snap hook a wedge. 🤬 😥 🏌️‍♂️⛳

[@USGOLFTVshow]

LOL, we hear ya! Make sure you are completing your full hip turn and getting your weight to your trail foot in the backswing. 👊

[@rzylla7454]

Something is definitely wrong. You show the hands leading the golf club at impact in slow motion. Then I play your actual swing back in stop motion and the clubhead is actually leading your hands at impact.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

The idea is to feel like the hands are leading at impact. Now, each golfer has a different release pattern. Some are more diggers, forward shaft lean, some are pickers, slight clubhead lead....both work.
