JTs the real deal, for a long time now. so easy to follow Eric and JT. Thanks, guys, Eric has more pieces with different guests than anyone in the game. The breakdown king, no doubt. Be safe boys.

Unreal! I've figured out my tendency is to over-do everything I'm told. over-did the athletic posture, looking almost like the bad example here 😂 great to get some confirmation that it's ok to stand taller. Would love more videos on commonly over exaggerated parts of the swing! At the moment I'm having trouble on where to draw the line between passive arms and getting stuck with the body out-racing the (too passive) arms.

everyone always told me i was too hunched over which is why i've been struggling to hit the ball. after watching this video i went to the range and noticed such a huge difference from standing more upright. more loft, more distance. crazy enough it fixed my slice in my driver from just standing more upright! insane. great video. thank you!

I recently developed a problem with the dreaded shanks after never having an issue for 30+ years. Could not for the life of me come up with the reason why. Tried this "tuck the hips under" at setup for the past three sessions at the range. Was an absolute game changer with my ball striking! Thanks for the video boys!

Almost once or twice every golf season I play a round where I just shank almost every iron shot. It’s crazy how it comes out of no where then I can go out and shoot a 73 the next game

What a great video. I'm a scratch player but always struggle with early extension. This simple setup change makes it so much easier to rotate into impact. Thanks for the great content.

same - slightly higher HC but have on and off EE because of setup. Spent a range session "feeling" like my weight was more towards my toes to get setup correct.

This is so helpful. I struggle with this and am in the middle of fixing it. Even being a 7hc. I tend to clear hips much better with higher posture.

Eric’s swing is so good it’s easy to make small changes. For us that have scar tissue it is a challenge especially at golf course speed. I’m good on the range ,taking it on the course is tough. JT and Eric are very good instructors.

This may have been the lesson I didn’t know I needed. Hugging the beach ball was the thought that was missing. I was trying to correct my early extension exactly as you said the wrong way was, by getting way into my heels and bent too far over, it just wasn’t working. I had a lot of toe strikes. I went out and gave this a try. My strikes moved to the center or toward the heel on miss hits. It will take some practice to get used to it but I believe this will eventually have a massive impact on my consistency. Thx

Was fun to see myself in this video at 2.24. One of my rare appearances on YT but as always in conjunction with the key word 'bad' 🙂. In fact I have start trying this before I saw this video but I have a really hard time to hit the ball consistently. Very often I hit it with the heel or fat it resulting in a left hook (often there is water there). When I do get it right, it gets longer but the old bad swing is a lot more reliable (because I've done it for years).

Great video! One thing I’ve noticed with a couple of playing partners ( and I can’t really tell them), is how different their practice swings are from their actual hits. The practice swing looks controlled, you know, pretty good form and technique,…. and then when they execute the shot, everything changes. I suppose I’ve done that a few times too. Thanks for the upload.

I’ve found an easy mistake to make using this feel is that the head goes forward at the top and causes impact to happen off the hosel and dreaded shank. Making sure the hips stay back at the top is critical.

The contrast here is of course a bit exaggerated but fixing my setup in this way was transformative for my swing.

agreed! So does Keegan Bradley and some others.....I see some players with lots of talent able to move that way.....but thats why they are the 1% of the 1% :) For most amateurs Ive seen coaching over the past 15 years that setup ALMOST always leads to early extension (say 98% of the time)

Same throughout the bag? Same swing thought (posture) for irons and driver?

Yes for sure.....some of those guys are so darn good they can get away with it lol....Keegan Bradley another one! But for the average golfer we work with they aren't able to get away with that....probably 99/100 will early extend from there BUT if you setup like Tony and it works for you ALL good no need to change!

Does this fix work for the driver as well?

@PerformanceGolfZone

2 ай бұрын

Yep!

how extreme or exaggerated should the hips back motion on downswing be? i tried this today. if i am a natural fader should the ball still be fading? is the point of this to help your elbow find the slot? if I am pushing the ball, am I not rotating my hips enough? I was crushing the ball when I hit it well, but I found myself to push and slice it more than I'd like at the range. On the course, I didn't have much feel. I found that if I exaggerate this movement its hard for me. However, when I keep these movements pretty restricted (basically just have the idea in my head), I hit the ball more pure. I think I will squat and focus on my left shirt and pant seems and elbow to hit the ball straight or slight draw or fade.

@@PerformanceGolfZone awesome, I would love to send you a video to gain some feedback. I'll DM if i can.

I have worked on this, one thing it causes me to do is to hit it fat a lot because I've been someone who comes up in the downswing with early extension, so now I feel like staying down causes me to chunk it. Very frustrating.

Hey! Make sure your trail arm and trail wrist are more BENT so make up for the body being closer to the ground (this is what best ball strikers do) Details on that here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d6h7tMhsdra_Y5c.html&pp=ygUgRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHN0YXkgZG93biByaWdodCBhcm0%3D

Hey Rob! Still same ideas! Obviously can make some tweaks based on chest size, arm length, etc to be able to get arms more in front in setup vs on side.....would need to see your swing/measurements to say for sure but this should be a good guide to start!

Very good! Confirms what I been working on without knowing a tenth of what thees guys know. I guess it's just question of trial and error - and pure luck.
