  1. Yes you’re right it’s always easy to say. But hopefully with a little work on the drill you will start to get that ball then ground combination consistently.
    Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
    Good luck with it.

  2. Newbie here.
    Ive only really been trying to learn the right way about 10 weeks.
    Ive been avoiding taking a divot because I dont like tearing up the fairway, but its dawning on me now that pretty much every messed up fairway shot Ive made probably would have been a 100 times better if Id seen this video 3 months ago. Im either topping the ball off trying to avoid a divot….or accidentally digging trenches BEHIND the ball then getting no distance or accuracy.

    THANKS FOR THE VIDEO AND INSIGHT !

  3. I’m very pleased that you’ve gained insight into the ball-ground concept.
    You’d be surprised how many experienced golfers lack understanding with this important concept.
    Start with small swings and build up to bigger one’s. In no time at all you’ll be hitting the ball correctly, with divots occurring at the front of the golf ball which will lead to you enjoying solid golf shots.
    Thanks so much for your feedback and good luck with it.

  4. I’ve found your videos very helpful and interesting. I’ve had quite a bit of difficulty with fat shots and, since I already positioned the ball midway in my stance did not feel I could put it back any farther. I did, however, notice that I tend to rise up on my left toe on the backswing which caused my body to sway behind the ball. Recently I’ve worked on keeping a little more weight on the left side and not raising my heel and found that suddenly I was consistently hitting the ball crisply.

  5. I’m glad that you have gained value from watching my videos. Your adjustment of placing weight more onto your left leg is very clever and is something modern tournament players also do. I wish you the best of luck with your game and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

  6. Hi. Enjoyed the clip. Very helpful. I tend to hit 8-.pw fine but struggle with fat shots 7-3. Only fix I have is to move my hands towards target before starting backswing. But this closes the clubface. Please help!!!! Many thanks

  7. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Check out my videos on building a better downswing and also my video on pro knee action. I think the combination of these two videos will have the answer you need to hit your 7 to 3 iron more solidly.

  8. Thanks a lot. i do hit fat shots and this has helped me very much ” find the bottom of my swing.” your videos have helped me have more fun with the game.

  9. I’m really pleased that you’re having more fun because of my videos. That makes it all worthwhile. The best of luck with your game and thanks so much for taking the time to share your comments.

  10. watching this late at night…. CANT WAIT to get out to the range tomorrow! you dont even know! haha

  11. The best of luck with it. I hope it helps you to hit better and more consistent golf shots. Thanks for taking the time to share you comments.

  12. Hi again , your last video on plane has really helped me allot and i have been holding my lag allot better and really flushing them on the driving range,,, but I’m still taking them a little bit fat occasionally on the course I think.. As I can tell when I’m on a bad lie or crappy fairway I lose a bit off distance.. Will practicing the full extension help with this ?? And also if I move the ball back a little?? And what about with longer irons should I still put the ball back in the same spot?

  13. The fat shot is something even the pros do at times and the best way to improve it is to practice hitting punch style shots from the bad lies.
    This will ensure that you hit the ball before the ground. The punch style technique is played by moving the ball back in your stance and extending both arms low and fully into the follow-through.
    You can move the long irons back as well to hit your shots more solidly.
    Thanks for your question again and the best of luck to you.

  14. I’m very pleased that my videos have helped you to enjoy your golf and I appreciate your kind words. Continued success with your game and thanks for your feedback.

  15. im 15, and the only thing im having trouble with is persistents. what do you suggest? my irons are good but i cant get them perfect every time

  16. I would be aiming for 7 times out of 10. Even tour players hit inconsistent shots so realistically 70 percent is a good goal to aim at.

  17. When you are looking at the ball at address, with an iron, where do you exactly look? In front of the ball, behind the ball, top, middle, bottom of the ball and do you have a particular thought process? By the way I think your videos and especially your communication skills are excellent.

  18. Personally I’m aware of the inside quarter of the ball between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock. This is the gateway I want my club-head to pass through because the golf club moves on an arc the ball is being impacted through a line between 4 o’clock and 10 o’clock so I find it helpful to be aware of this portion of the golf ball. When I swing my mental imagery is on the exact flight of the ball and where I wish it to land. I hope that helps and thanks for your kind words. The best of luck to you.

  19. Finally, my answer, thank you very much sir , my 9 , p.w s.w, all perfect , cos of the ball postion, Why I never thought of this is beyond me, but then , that is golf.

  20. Could someone please have a look at my swing, would really appreciate some feedback.

    Thanks

  21. Its not necessary to keep stating GOLF ball and GOLF club all the time! We can see youre playing golf so club and ball will do. A lot of instructors have this annoying habit. Sometimes i think they must be on a bonus for how many times they say “GOLF”!!!

  22. Thanks for sharing your comments and I’m really pleased that the video is helpful to you.
