[@brucerussell5469]

I've watched a lot of your videos and one of the main points you stress is that the swing is dominated by the left side control and putting is dominated by the right side control. Today while playing and for the first time in 46 years of playing I did my best to perform this way...as I played more and more holes I felt better and better and Jim it was wonderful...swinging and putting from these sides and hands felt so right for the first time ever...I almost feel giddy with delight and knowing that playing this way is the way the best players perform makes it even better. Thank you Jim

[@Kameronwest1991]

He’s not lying! I tried this swing and omg did I flush the ball every single time!! You just have to practice and work on your alignment relative to the target

[@Blackhorseveteran]

Ball position also very important...

[@BenBarnett-m5b]

How about a face-on camera view to see the ball position and stance width. Great system.

[@miketoth9948]

My divots used to be 30 to 45 degrees left of target. "PGA guy told me not to close my stance to adjust for that. I was doing Jim's setup unknowingly. It worked but was told it was wrong. Just shot 34 on a division 1 college course and I am 58. I never shot under par in 40 years. Thanks Jim. You validated my instincts.

[@David-mu5rv]

I took my son to Top Golf here in MN. I started with my 54 degree, and incremented up to my 8. My son was amazed at the consistency of the monitor numbers using stillness. It works!! Also, after 1.5 hrs of hitting, my 20 year old tried was trying to create the power in the shot and felt it the next day. For me, at 51, I felt very little.

[@jimwocha4949]

Been watching the videos for a few weeks now but today was the first time i tried it on the range. I have never hit the ball so solidly. Several shots today were the purest shots i have ever hit. I hit one with my 5 wood that made a different sound than i have ever heard before from that club. From the wedges to fairway woods the strike was pure. I have tried weight forward before (stack and tilt) but never got solid sontact consistently and oten hit it left. By adding in the closed shoulders i got pure strikes and a tight draw but also compression. Just need to get out on the course now which isn't easy in the winter in the UK.

[@jimvenetosgolf]

Nice! I’m not surprised and it’s just the tip of the iceberg!

[@riaankruger4838]

Like your Videos , struggling with alignment. Can you maybe in your next videos show where you aiming. Look very right of target.Thanks again for your great info

Silly question the swing looks great. But where is the club face pointing. At address? Thanks Steve from England

[@jimvenetosgolf]

@@sswilkins1 club is square to the swing path which slightly right of 12:00 for rh golfers 👊

[@MikeL-vu7jo]

Love that ball flight Jim thanks .

[@dougdunbar4084]

I've watched a lot of your videos and this is by far the best. The "light bulb turning on moment" of how to hit the ball.

[@Pinhigh24]

Yes Jim, i stumbled across this on the range and was hoping someone could validate this method , it’s eye opening for sure. Thanks for the video

[@pulldpin67]

Makes a lot of sense... I tried this and it helped me a lot... and if I wanted to hit it more straight ...rather than a draw... I just didn't close my stand as much....I found it easier to hit the ball with not quite as much closed in the setup... but still closed...

[@coleyepperson8259]

This system works! I have been doing this system for about two years and my score has dropped 10 to 12 strokes a round. I now shoot in the low 80s. Thanks Jim. I now can repeat my swing

[@NAVY1968]

I love ❤️ your content, Mahalos The rocks around your hitting area

[@rangers-qt6fx]

Great instruction

[@lewisgl]

I am here because this looks a pretty stress free swing. So much tension has developed in my swing because of trying to move the body too much that it n makes the game much more difficult and has developed into the yips. I don't have much of a problem with chipping and putting but the longer clubs and driver have been another story. I will definitely try this swing out.

[@nebula524]

Jim, whats your ball position for irons?

[@tmurphtmurph]

You make it look so easy

[@Blackhorseveteran]

Jim has the only swing style out there that really works for me. However, I dont stand so deeply closed, and dont use a strong grip, and I hit lazer straight shots, that have maybe a 2 foot baby draw at the end. Im still playing around with ball position, and strength of grip for some very interesting results....some good...some bad. Thanks Jim

[@deltadawn826]

When freeze framed at impact Jim's shoulders and hips are close to parallel to intended line of flight, the closed setup position belies the real swing, but sure does help route the club out from the inside and stop the right shoulder taking over. I've tried this swing with success at times..I just need to curb the tendency to swing hard, a good swing for oldies I think.

[@jimvenetosgolf]

You are a bit off there. At impact, my shoulders are closed and my hips are open. The closed set up is crucial for 99% of the population to be able to keep their chest closed through impact and swing on a shallow swing path.

[@deltadawn826]

@@jimvenetosgolfJim, point taken, I wasn't trying to get too picky, slowing down a video clip is only approximate. My playing mates just can't figure how using your swing, I don't hit the ball to where my feet are pointing...out to the right. At impact my shoulders are quite a way left of the feet line. I'm trying to wean myself off the exaggerated closed feet line, but consistency is better with them closed.

[@jscott4431]

Hi Jim. I've been away from golf for about 5 years due to a back injury. Just now getting back into the game. I want to start fresh and try to rid myself of old bad habits. I've been only hitting wedges indoor thus far using your technique. I'm a right-hand golfer with a dominant right side. I've been focusing on letting my left side do the work, but I still hit behind the ball an inch or two about 50% of the time. It's been frustrating. Appreciate any advice. Thanks much!

[@jimvenetosgolf]

Sign up for my school and learn the system properly. You’ll save yourself time, aggravation, and soon you’ll be playing the best golf of your life.

[@jscott4431]

@@jimvenetosgolf Roger that. Thanks Jim.

[@drshane111]

That’s so good Jim. I haven’t played golf in 15 years and took your approach to our par 3. A birdie, several pars. I was thrilled. Would you say the ball flies in the direction the left shoulder is pointing at setup?

[@kenswanson7859]

I hope to join soon when I get my simulator set up. I've been a disciple of your method as I've restarted playing golf this year after not playing for years. Could I get a pic of your Chuck Taylor collection??? Maybe a short KZbin video of your collection? I love them all. You have changed the game for me.

[@Walktoasixpack]

I’m so ready to try this. What angle is the club face. Square to target or square to club path?

[@jimvenetosgolf]

Square to the swing path and that path is slightly in to out.

[@benjaminedington5737]

Where in ur stance is the ball position

[@klauswillisandresen1427]

where do you aim ? clubhead or shoulders or ?

[@stephenwallace2888]

Do you have a strong left hand grip Jim?

[@oneness1_]

I have a difficult time keeping my weight on my lead foot on a slope. Any advice?😊

[@Mogsey1972]

With this style, do you change the position of the ball in your stance? It looks as though it's very much placed towards the back foot, but that might be a trick of the eye there due to your body angle.

[@klauswillisandresen1427]

I shank a lot 🥲 ... coming too much from the inside with closed clubhead ! my woods/hybrid i have no problem with ... will this help me as i am close to quit the game ?

[@Johnbarrysfgiants]

It works but my clubs go 10 yards shorter then they used too and with long Irons have to go back to my old swing

[@alanduncan9204]

Solid strikes. Nice shoes Jim, were they a Christmas present ?

[@KenKen2023smith]

Jim I’m going to join next month. You have been very helpful! Just looking at your address. Is your club head address at the target or is it square to your shoulders? It looks like it’s square to the direction you are swinging. Thanks 🙏🏿

[@teddyzamba1396]

A natural arcing swing will cause the draw; when clubface is square to the the shoulders. However, you will have to discover what works best for you since it's highly dependent on your follow through and some clubs will respond differently, so you will have to dial in your sightlines.

[@KenKen2023smith]

@@teddyzamba1396 thanks for responding brother.

[@dry509]

So it looks like you not only pulled your right foot back but appear to have pivoted to the right…your right foot is angled to the right? So when you pivot you allow your right foot to move more open?

[@vinceschiavo5385]

Hi Jim, I’m a new subscriber and really like and appreciate your videos. I’m wondering if you keep the club face square to the swing arc on your backswing (i.e. club face “looking” at the ball on the takeaway). Or is that a variable you don’t even think about?

[@jimvenetosgolf]

Copy that. Keeping the clubface looking at the ball is not how you keep a clubface square. That is a misperception and mistake of popular instruction. My club remains square to my weight and my lead arm…if my weight and the ball don’t move, then my club is square to the ball. All explained in my school.

[@vinceschiavo5385]

Thanks very much for the prompt reply, Jim. A Happy and Healthy New Year to you and your family!

[@jimvenetosgolf]

@@vinceschiavo5385 appreciated. Right back at you.

How do you hit a fade?

Maybe revert to a conventional out to in swing?

[@vreeke777]

Can you do that also on slippers please ?

[@SethMoxie]

Driver too?

[@rangers-qt6fx]

Wrists turn quickly. Is that because you’re getting the lead arm out first quickly?

[@tedoneill1260]

…or is that part of the way that you make sure that you get a draw flight pattern, by closing the clubface quickly through impact??? 🤔

[@jimvenetosgolf]

@@tedoneill1260 negative. The draw doesn’t come from closing the club face, my face is square at impact. The draw comes from the inside out swing path. What you see my hands do happens after the ball and is a product of staying closed through impact. It is also called release.

I’ve tried and tried . I keep pulling the ball and end left of target

You haven’t really tried until you sign up for my school so you can learn the system properly and receive guidance. jimvenetosgolfacademy.com

[@bruceschoonover1178]

I like the idea but I always block the ball right.

[@jimvenetosgolf]

@@bruceschoonover1178 that’s caused by your chest opening in the downswing or your club not being square in the set up

[@vreeke777]

I like the shoes 😂

[@ljiujitsul]

This swing seems so simple but when trying I’m constantly hitting behind the ball even when I’m absolutely still. Need coordination to get better in the arms but so used to a conventional swing

[@teddyzamba1396]

You are getting steep with your downswing and digging in; if you flatten your swing plane, you will be fine; if weight forward and stillness emanates.

[@ljiujitsul]

@@teddyzamba1396 Appreciate the feed back. I also wonder if it’s from taking the club to much inside.

[@teddyzamba1396]

​@@ljiujitsulNo, your shaft is too vertical in the down swing, you need to shallow your swing; which means keeping your hands in; when your hands get too far away the shaft gets steep and you chunk the shot. It requires many repetitions to dial in the swing, but if performed properly you should never, or rarely hit heavy, behind the ball.

[@BenBarnett-m5b]

Interesting; for me, standing closer to the ball = steeper path & better contact. Further from the ball = flatter path & topping everything. 70 y/o, 6’ 185#. 🤷‍♂️

[@Koboltgolf]

I had played instinctively with a very closed stance, my playing partners says I’m pull drawing it, but I know it’s a great position. I’m shifting weight but my static position at impact resembles yours. I have tried to stay still but it’s freaking hard, I’m so used a ongojng motion
