Hey guys. I’m a new subscriber. Love the content. I’m 70 and a 9 HC but have been unable to hit my callaway Mavrik. I have 95 mph clubhead speed and can hit my 3 wood 230-240. Just haven’t been able to put the same swing on my driver. Your videos have REALLY helped. Playing from the whites there are only 6-7 holes where I need driver at 6100 yards. These have given me the confidence to do it. As Hogan said I’ve made more bogies from poor drives than 3 putts. Thanks

March 15, 2023. Just saw a couple of your videos and I like what I see. I’ve never commented on any videos so this is my first. Thank you guys!

You guys are brilliant ....Rotary swing is good but wow all your videos teach me something every day and the improvement!

Bill Skelley. U guys keep nailing it. I'm playing the best golf of my life thanks 2 you. Recommend u fellows daily as u are the best. I have had the pleasure of helping my 65 year old beginner wife to consistently hit the sweet spot. Wow!

You guys are awesome for doing this video. This has been a long time driver question for me after years of struggling to get off the tee. Looking forward to making these improvements to my own game. Love your videos!

This is so helpful! I’ve been looking around for this information and you guys are the only one who demonstrate this. Now I know how to really swing at the ball! This is the missing information in all golf instructions out there! I have a question: Is this also applicable to fairway woods?

Thanks guys. Watching the pros on GEARS is both mystifying and enlightening. I especially liked your comment about taking the time to do it right so you have a golf swing to last the rest of your life.

Great video as always. I see I watched this 7 months ago and left a comment! watching again now that we’re back in season. One of things I do at the range is sort my golf balls and take out the ones that are cracked, bald, warped, and set them aside…now I know what to do with them! They are perfect for doing a drill like this where the ball flight isn’t really relevant!

Hey guys I bought Distance Rx 2.0 a couple of days ago but I don’t know how to access it. Help! Y’all are the best!

I just bought a new driver Taylor made man Sim Max with senior flex to replace my Taylo rmade R 11 driver senior flex . Just beginning to ajust to the big difference of weight of the club SIM is like a feather in my hands.

Great video as usual... But I'm very puzzled why you would intentionally hit a ball into the water , did the ball upset you ......

Great stuff guys. Wondering how the pro was changing his attack angle. Was it all release timing.

This is great stuff…I used to be a downward angle of attack guy. In my efforts to get an upward angle, I’m flipping my wrists through impact and getting way too much height on my driver. I’m guessing that in each of the 5 swings with different angles of attack didn’t have dramatically different dynamic loft angles? Looks like he wasn’t flipping the club ahead of the shaft to get that upward attack, but just pushing the hands up, no?

When you compare address to hit, you see his head further back and left shoulder higher as if upper body pulling away as lower is moving forward. Is that a feeling to work on or just a result? Thanks

Since he's making the same move in transition are the shaft alignment differences taken care of by the ball position and stance width difference?

Hi guys, love this video but have to ask a question. We can see that the same relative body position is giving different angles of attack. But how is that happening? Something is different from swing 1 to swing 5 but you really didn't tell us how he got that positive attack angle with the same body position. What changes?

@krud6929

Жыл бұрын

Agreed. From the looks of the different swings, his shaft lean becomes less throughout the 5 swings to become more positive. So to me it seems he’s hanging back with his head longer. It shows at contact his hips are further ahead but the head is less.

It would be interesting to see the Center pelvic move, side by side, top view and from the behind view. To illustrate see “the squat move.” Or do pros actually squat?

Another great lesson and words of wisdom “ don’t give up “. Thanks guys, stay well.

Hi guys. Great vid. But what is the variable that allows you to get the club straight at impact? I am like Sean. I always have some shaft lean with driver. The only way I can get rid of it is to feel like I am throwing the club early in the down swing. Not sure that is correct, tho. Would be good to clarify that part.

@@seniorgolfer Gotcha. If any of these moves are different than what you currently do in your swing, they'll need to be learned before they'll show up in a full-speed swing. Which means loads of sloooooow reps until the change can be felt and learned. The speed with gradually increase as the movement learned.

First time viewer "John, Hip rotation". Interesting. Can you tell me what image he used? You say he tried to feel as though he was rotating around from the center of his hips instead of his original "pull the right side of his hip around".

The Reality of "Muscle Memory" is trained Movement Patterns which have become reactive movement rather than "consciously directed" movements.

He, guys, very interesting. I wondered have you tried this with students and by that I mean mid to high handicappers? The thing I find problematical with slow drills is that the forces involved will be very different from full speed, don’t you think? Perhaps very gradually increasing speed will allow the body to adjust.

Question everyone wants to know is what did this player do to hit up 6 degrees more as measure by gears? Guessing you would need behind view.

I'm curious, was the pro trying to change his angle of attack by a degree on each successive swing (seems crazy to be able to do that), or were those changes in angle of attack just the difference between his swings without any intent, and you were just depicting how there is no real change is body position or swing to attain the different angles? I hope I asked that with enough clarity for my question to be understood. Thanks guys!

Sorry, but I disagree. As a high handicapper in my 70s, I want more accuracy with my driver, not more distance. The same applies to the men I play with, but even more so. I agree that steering the ball is no good at all, but I would like to know how to achieve much more dependability with the driver.
