Do the pros consciously think about firing their wrists at impact or does the hip rotation square the club face? I had a lesson from a korn ferry pro and he said no pro try’s to time or even think about snapping their wrists, their club face closes naturally with hip rotation. Thoughts?

Zach is an amazing coach/ instructor. As someone who started about the same time as you and has had 2 teachers and about 12 lessons, I learned more in 2 videos and it has completely jumped me up a level. He makes some of these concepts that newer golfers are always hearing and striving for crystal clear by the way he breaks them down to the basics. The in to out swing has been such a struggle, and the concept he shows of keeping your turn facing backward while you move your hips latterly then dropping into your turn was priceless. It was in another video of yours and was like a light bulb going off. Combined with the hand movement . Thanks for the videos !

You got a great coach! Have gotten a lot of useful info out of the discussions on release. Very good.

Just got back from the range, needed to leave a comment and say that this video helped me tremendously!!! I was hitting them straighter and with a much more relaxed swing. Loved it. Can’t wait to put this into practice on the course!

Hi Erndog, come across your channel while trying to create the best swing and consistent results and i have to say Zach instruction technique i.e hands on where needed, explanation of the process etc is the best i have seen and then to add you understanding and application of what’s required absolutely refreshing. So i went out to the net i have and tried some instruction, put it in sections then all together and felt this swing and connection was for me, obviously you don’t get the direction of the ball in the net, i.e spin etc, so immediately went to my course and the driving and short game area and i have to say my swing and connection was transformed (don’t get me wrong occasionally pulled or pushed) but when i say these were 10 foot From the target is no exaggeration, thank you to you and Zach for the insight, both inspiring.

Thanks brother! Handicap is currently at a 9.0, when I started I was an 8.3 but with a swing that wasn’t going to allow me to get any lower. The last 6 months of lessons have made it a little difficult to score well just because I haven’t felt super comfortable on the course with the new swing. The good thing is that the new swing doesn’t feel foreign anymore! I’m hitting the ball better than ever, and I think I’m about to have a breakthrough. Only time will tell though!

I incorporated this "two hand bounce pass release" today in a short range session just before my round, and I've never struck the ball better whilst playing. I didn't really have time to try it today in the short game, but should it work as well on pitch and chip shots? Good luck in your journey to scratch!

Keep grinding. I'm still looking for an instructor for my swing. Have an small out to in with my driver and 3 wood. Developed it from ripping the muscle between my ribs on my right side last summer. Thinking about getting a camera with higher recording fps because my swing is so fast when I look back on my iphone it's just too blurry even with a iphone 14 x or whatever the thing is called. One of the reason its hard to find a instructor that can help me because of my fast swing.

Is there a specific move or action you are now doing in your head to make this happen from the top of your backswing & down?..is it like a rear shoulder move downward in your transition & trail arm matching up in line with your clubshaft or a specific manor that you are realising your trail hand towards the outward path?.

Good luck holding a green if you don’t have 120 mph of club head speed with your driver. I see delofting doing more harm than good for weekend golfers. Loft creates more spin which Ernie needs. Also loft allows someone to manage the face better. Each person has a different mistake and needs to be fixed to that person. This fantasy of one size fits all tour player just isn’t realistic for everyday human beings.

@@ErndogGolf tha k you bro!

Zach is explaining what I discovered on my own.

I'm confused. I always hear that you want to deloft the ball and hit it lower. But here hitting it lower was a problem? I guess there's a happy medium? Coach Zach seems often and Ernie seems really teachable.

Stopping power is super important in your approach game. If you lower your ball flight, you better be able to produce the right amount of spin to hold a green. You probably hear a lot of pros doing this with wedges. You don’t want your wedges to balloon up and get moved by the wind, so you knock them down and rely on spin to hold the green. You said it perfectly, there’s a happy medium. You can see from some of the numbers (this was actually an 8 iron, Zach thought it was a 7 from the low trajectory) that I’m carrying around 140 but the ball is rolling out an extra 10 yards! That’s a nightmare to control. You want the ball to land and stop as quickly as possible. You do this with loft and spin, and I had neither!

7-iron?

Actually an 8 iron! Zach thought it was a 7 because of how low I was launching it

@@ErndogGolf Thank you very much for replying. You have a nice swing!

Good lesson but let's please quote Ben Hogan accurately. Hogan did not say bounce pass in 5 lessons. And the target was never on the ground. Page 98-99 illustration throwing the basketball to a hip height spot on a wall. The caption is "As in the old two-handed basketball pass, the left arm and hand lead the right arm and hand. Be sure you hit through with the left as hard as with the right" Page 100 he goes into more detail about this pass, but again he specifies "The center of the target is about the same height from the ground as the player's belt buckle. ...flings the ball at the target " Whether or not the bounce pass is a great piece of advice is besides the point. Do not attribute it to Hogan or 5 lessons.

He learned the golf swing from Hank Haney, so yeah, he’s teaching me the same swing tiger used in the early 00s.
