    Just brilliant. After 45 years of playing golf and 2 years of rebuilding my swing from scratch with literally 1000s of contradicting you tube videos done by the most respected coaches, this series of 3 plus the fade/spoon and hell drill videos put it all together. At age 65 for the first time in my life, I have got something resembling a golf swing.

More width going back to create space for me to drop back in..... all while rotating low/left to keep the hands from flipping while face path remains square as long as possible. I'm totally geeking out on it right now so keep this kind of content coming. Lovin' it from Calgary.

    This is so similar to what my coach has been teaching me over the last few months. Totally changed my swing from top to bottom in around 3 months and found more distance, better dispersion and way more consistency. Putting the work in on the range is also making my rounds easier on the body and reducing wear and tear on my wrists (struggled with this in the past). It's good to see consistency in what coaches, especially the top guys like Scott, are teaching people from tour pros, right the way down to hackers like me

    Really useful. I signed up at the PGA Superstore near me so I can use the practice bays with Foresight Quad GCHawk overhead monitors any time to work on my swing this winter (and later, too). I note that I have tended to hit everything to the left with a lot of left sidespin. Attributed most of that to age (81) and lack of ability to turn, leading to arms and hands getting ahead. I have focused on taking the club back straight even outside, and getting he left wrist bowed. But I have not thought of getting the left bicep loaded tight to the chest and lower as Scott shows. It seems that doing so will make it easier to turn without thinking too much about rotating the hips. I have observed that when I tell myself to bring the hands in close to my thighs on the downswing the contact and speed are usually better. I may in fact be doing what Scott is showing Ian, just not thinking of the left arm.

    I think one of the coolest things here is seeing the efficiency even on these "slower" swings. There were a few there at 1.40 with a 6i which is great! I'm a faster player who adds way too much dynamic loft at impact and the result is 6i at 95-97mph but with like 1.3-1.33 efficiency and 20º launch. I'm gonna be trying some of these feels because if I can replicate that efficiency and drop launch angle with the reduced dynamic loft I'm ecstatic!

    I Love Scott's teachings! So much clarity and purpose in everything he does. No guessing or guesstimating like some pros... He knows what works with what and that's music to my over-analytical mind. Is this pattern considered the "modern swing" everybody teaches these days? (milo lines? GG?) Would Dustin Johnson be considered similar? Also, I'm curious because I've had mixed results with some teachers asking me to bring in the hands in early and thus sticking my lead arm to my chest too early and thus having hands come out in downswing... I'm looking forward to hearing about other patterns for comparison.

    I’m at it again in my kitchen (I watched this after Matt’s lesson because I’m hopelessly behind on a lot of stuff, including sports). I know I’m just phantom swinging (which I do a lot, mostly just because I love the golf swing), but I think I’ve discovered something. In Matt’s lesson, Scott talks about keeping the arms close to the body, which I liked. Now I know that wasn’t taught here, but the mad golf scientist that I am fit the square peg in the round hole. I’m doing the loading and everything like this video, but I’m keeping the hands close to the body, so the same swing mechanics, just with different arm positions. I found I had the consistency of path (along with big hip enabling) but the arms allowed for the face manipulation for shot shaping. Maybe I’m crazy (I kind of know I am), but I’m a tinkerer by nature and I’m not bothered it it doesn’t work. Science is about experimentation, especially mad science!

    I also borrowed the turned in trail foot. It greatly increased my stability. I have good balance in a vacuum but I lose it during swings all the time. I now think my body wants to use my hips, and since my hips are crazy because of my dance background, it naturally creates so much torque in the swing. The foot adjustment stabilizes me without curbing a big strength.

    Ian...Are you still set up flat with your lie angles? While you are dialing in the new swing pattern... I suggest baseline your lie angles back to standard lies. if you've been coming up from 5-6 toe deep, to 2 down... those last couple degrees is likely your lie angle. Cheers.. I like this pattern you are working on.

    Quick question about this technique. Maybe I'm an exception because I think for me, any re-routing always feels awkward.....and again maybe for me, if I go straight back to the pulling on the seat belt position, I would have less trouble pulling the seatbelt rather going out and around then sliding down the chest to get in the position. Seems to me it complicates the swing rather than simplifies it. I would think....at least for me, that straight back then straight through would be easier. Is there any reason not to?

    A question I would like to ask about this swing technique is what would the possible correction be for having an open face to path. This is what I have been working on myself and I have a 3-4 degree in to out path but I tend to have a face that is 10 degrees open, unless is feel like im flipping then the path closes up because of that.

    Not the correction comment you’re looking for but I’m pretty sure he is talking about a “feel vs real” relationship. Through the transition the club should “feel” open and “behind” while using the shallowing of the left arm and the rotation of the body to square it up. In reality the club is square all along. Having a face 10 degrees open would likely be caused by incorrect wrist/arm action.
