  • @deezynar
    @deezynar2 ай бұрын

    Chuck said he had both of his hips replaced. Much of his former problems were probably due to his old hip joints being stiff and probably painful. That had to have killed his flow. But even with new hips, he is employing better technique now, and Stan has really helped him with that. This is a very informative video, but it is also very enjoyable to see a guy that most of us think of as a friend we've never actually met, finally find success at an activity that we all enjoy so much.

  • @Eric-zk2hu

    Swing the clubhead end fast not the handle end, golden advice! So in the downswing after you shift your pressure into your left foot the clubhead is the furthest behind and needs to travel the farthest. You get the clubhead to catchup with your arms and your body by releasing it early. The clubhead traveling faster than the butt as the club passes you at the bottom so the club head leads the club after impact and the club turns your body past square not your body turn towing the club behind the body. The club swinging past turns you so much easier in both directions as opposed to trying to turn your body fast to swing the club.

    I've been playing for 3 years now. I consider myself pretty athletic for 53 and have a long way to go but understanding the "fling" is key. I like what Stan said about the hands vs wrist lever. Such a key moment for me to realize on my own and a game changer for a beginner when improving distance with irons.

    I enjoyed watching this video. It's great to see Chuck being able to truly have fun playing golf (again). I don't think people really understand how bad it is to fix the yips or a very broken swing. The amount of time he had to put in and the level of mental fortitude needed to push through the jokes, frustration, and bad shots is commendable.
