This is the video that changed my swing. In about two weeks I went from inconsistent weak shots to solid compression and draws. No more fat shots!

Thats a great lesson. I will be practicing punch shots during every practice session from now on. I could watch a lesson from Mike every day, he is so interesting. Please tell him how well he is received on your channel for me. Keep that grind going.

Man this is gold. I wish I knew this when I first started. I would've never thought punch hooks was the way to learning ground contact. Mike is such an amazing coach, I'm glad you found him and just wish he had more content out on KZread 😂

This lesson with Mike is the most influential lesson I’ve ever seen on KZread. I’ve watched it 100 times and it forms the basis for my entire practise. My game’s never been more solid. Think I’ll save up & fly over from London to San Diego for a lesson/pilgrimage with the man himself

Love the addition of video chapters. So nice to go back and watch a full section. Keep kicking ass.

I got you!!

I have been watching countless videos for a few years on the golf swing and I stumbled onto your channel and watched this episode. Man, I cannot tell you how much this has helped me. Mike is a amazing teacher and explains things so great. I watched this and went to the golf course and hit the ball straighter and more consistently. Subscribed instantly and can’t wait on what else Mike teaches

still the world's greatest golf lesson

This is some Sith Lord Dark Side of the Force knowledge. One of best teachings I’ve been able to absorb.

Thanks for sharing. Very insightful. More of such videos please! 👍🏻

I usually hit anywhere from a 90 to 98 and i've been seriously training for 2.5 years. No drill has ever given me the incredible feeling of clubface control like this one does. I've always been able to do chip shots and compress, however, I struggle to do a full swing and still apply the same impact force. I would lose the club head or my hands in transition on the downswing. I would vouch for this practice drill 1 million times over, especially for newer golfers. Since I have a decent foundation (left arm, posture, grip), this ONE drill put all the pieces together for me. This is a must try if you are struggling with CONSISTENCY. AND NOW 98% OF MY SHOTS SMOOTHLY DRAW 3-8 YARDS! THANK YOU JEROME AND INSTRUCTOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great lesson

One of Mike's comments in another video had me rolling ....he said "you're going to hit a big slice over the fence and it's going to strike the windshield of a minivan and you're going to kill an entire family". OMG I was rolling!!! He's got a great attitude for a teacher.

Lovin the content its helping me tremendously i can actually hit a 3 wood now

Enjoyed the lesson.

This is a great drill!! I shot 44 on a 9 hole after practicing this for 2 weeks. I normally shoot 49 on 9 hole playing twice a month. I Just started playing golf 18 months ago. Since I don't have time to practice my swing this drill will be the only drill I will practice from now on.

There are a few things beginner golfers must come to grasp with: - we don’t scoop to get the ball in the air, - the impact “position” is different from the setup “position”, - there is an element of arms lift in the backswing so there must be an element arms drop in the downswing, - understanding the ball flight laws and d-plane theory, and - not forgetting to use your athleticism to propel the ball as the other information can be overwhelming.

im not gonna lie i love this coach! that punch shot in every normal shot is money.

Working on my short game shots improved my longer shots, great video! Keep on grinding!

He's a good talker. Not bad way to learn supination in the beginning. What he's saying about the pro and generating speed isn't 100 correct. You can rotate as fast as you want it won't do much if the weight moves back in to his right leg like he is doing. Look at how much weight stays back when the teaching pro hits it. Rotation you see on tour is forces moving into the ground then pushing back up pushing the hip back. I'd also be careful trying to hit the ball that way if your someone who works in an office everyday your mobility won't allow you to do that. You will start hooking balls like you shaw the first few shots.

Happy Easter! Just a quick question - does Mile have you setting up with a slightly open stance for most shots - or when you are doing the drills? Have a mate who played pretty much open all the time - short swing, open hips - boom.

7:47 was hilarious

LOL, all these comments. Everybody is a frustrate golf coach. This video answered a lot of questions I've had. Not the first coach to suggest learning the fill swing by starting with punch shots, but the first I've seen who has done such a thorough job of explaining the why and how. Great content. Not sure I've seen better.

I just played the “they’re not doing anything” followed by giggling about 10 times. Hilarious. But great info and explanation.

Hi Jerome. Just discovered your channel & very gripped by the fundamentals in your lessons that you’re are teaching as you’re learning. It is appreciated. Where is the weight distribution of you feet at each stage of the punch shot?

@Pur33stPk3r

Жыл бұрын

This is what works for me - For the drill, weight centered. When you're in normal stance, the body has to get quite a bit towards the target. Almost like there's a wall that you're trying to get your left hip to, towards the target. (Don't let the shoulder fall BACK, push them through to the target just like your hips. Once you mess around you should start to fill which pressure shift gives you solid contact. Rinse and repeat.

Still pump the drive out there,but regressed to beginner like from Inside 100 .I pray to the gods this approach will help.I still believe somehow

@ratboy4347

Жыл бұрын

The obsession with a draw shot is because most players getting lessons have a slice and this “pro” is clearly conning him by making him smile by giving him a super strong grip and a bowed wrist ultimately giving him a different shape of shot than a slice. Easy money for him. For me his set up is wrong. Too strong of a grip too far away from the ball too much tension resulting in no lag in his swing. I’m sorry but I hate these instructors doing all this mechanical bs to con people at $50 an hour or whatever it is because they can hit a draw. It’s pathetic and makes me angry. Go do yourself a favour and read Ernest jones swing the club head and read the five fundamentals by Ben hogan. Stay away from these people.

The ball travels further and most courses are designed for a draw...that's why we slice.

@donarchambeault4547

The body rotation squares the club. The release happens after impact. This compresses the ball and it flys off the face. I’ve done this drill and it increased my smash factor considerably.

😂😂😂 no it does not… the hands slowing down releases the club and generates speed caused by lag. The hands slow down and the club catches up. No way in 10 million years you can play good golf by holding your wrist like this guy is telling you to. You’ll have arthritis in a year.

Mike is obviously a great teacher but he hasn't addressed the one fundamental flaw in Jerome's swing - his intention. They're working to overcome this flaw with drills and things but it would be much easier to change the intention of the swing in Jerome's brain. Until he does that, improving will be very difficult. What flaw am I talking about? The simple misconception that swinging toward the target will send the ball that way. What? Yeah, you must swing in a direction and a circle isn't a direction ... and it's not toward the target. That's not how a golf club works.

It’s so much harder no to flip at the longer irons. Force yourself to have the patience and discipline to understand that these longer irons take longer to swing. Trust it.

Never seen a pro set up like this and do this. Won't work with a driver unless 150 yd drives make you happy.

Your hands have to slow down for the club face to square up that’s what he’s trying to say. This nonsense about keeping the wrist bowed and setting up like he’s getting you to is garbage. You need softer hands and to be more relaxed and generate lag. That super strong grip is going to kill your game. That man is going to kill your game. Trust me he’s conning you.
