Golf Tips from an Old Pro.
Golf Tips from an Old Pro.
I have tried hundreds of different weird and wonderful variation of the golf swing - I’ve even tried playing the game on one leg! Trying to find a swing that guarantees a consistently good strike on the ball has been a personal obsession. There have been many eureka moments - usually short lived! My problem was that l had someone else’s ideal of what my golf swing should look like and that ideal didn’t suit my shape, size or mobility. I have come to learn on this long journey that you should not try to emulate the unobtainable for you! Work with what you have and when you do find a swing that works, stick with it and memorise the fundamentals.

I like this thought of the right knee move. I have tried this and it really works as it definitely holds my shoulders back, and therefore I feel that my head has stayed behind the ball. Rather than thinking weight shift left I just think as you have explained, right knee to left toe. This is an easy move to adopt.. It would be really good if you could eventually produce some improved quality videos with better sound and in a better environment, as your advice is well worth listening to.
I am no expert but I think thats how Hogan saw it.
got that low point dialed in...
I’m old and stiff with a bit of wear and tear, still l try. The fundamentals are in place that’s what’s important 💪💪💪
nice video... i like the runway analogy
I find these videos very interesting. A very different teaching approach but extremely useful.
Very calmly and simply explained.
Thank you 💪💪💪
Ok, here is the deal. I’m a mid single figure handicap who rarely plays. I have a lot of speed even in my 50ies, eg Ball speed with Driver 172mph. Irons are pulls and poor although strike is ok. Went to the nets before a round today and 5 minutes in I thought I’d try your technique in the backswing. Result, room on the downswing, flushed 5 on the bounce. I then took it to the course and I can honestly say, I was striking my irons like a tour pro. My playing partner, who I don’t know thought I was a scratch handicap, which given the new handicap system I probably am. Thank you so much, you have saved me time, money and brought I smile to my face. I don’t worry about the downswing because it happens automatically. I would like to see a video on driver. I have an overswing, across the line with overextension of my thoracic. I would like to know your thoughts on the driver swing. Thank you again😊
My friend that comment was so uplifting, thank you. 172 ball speed is a pro speed, I’ll have a think and make a video on driving 💪💪💪
Yes, I have maintained speed over the years, no loss at all. No training or stretching but I have good mobility. I gain my speed to the 170ies by casting the club head behind me to lose the lag which increases the radius. It’s difficult when you have an overswing because the body has to stop to get the hands back on plane. Where are you based in UK? I’m in Surrey …
Hi, I’m going to make a video on driving, in your description are you swinging out side the target line then left, how is your balance at the top of the back swing.
Jesus the greenkeeping on that course leaves a lot to be desired!
I do this all the time but somehow fell into it without being taught. It works.
Why can't you move your wrists? And keep the hands and fingers quiet.? The wrists have to move.. be loose and movable to allow the swing to function..
Hi, the point I’m trying to make is the wrists will move reactively anyway, the main focus should be on correctly positioning the hands.
I tried interlocking two years ago, but it gave me trigger finger, which literally took 6 months to heal.
I like it 👍
That demo looked like Charles Barkley’s old swing.
How do I purchase your information booklets. Thank you
Thank you great explanation!!!
Thank you, some videos are hard to make without getting technical, this was 🙏
Well done Shane , so easy to watch your drills & very well explained Thank you
@@television1952 Thank you Frank, very much appreciated 💪💪💪
Just started watching your videos a couple of weeks ago. I commented on another video that the right knee to left toe was a lighbulb. I played last Saturday and had the absolute best balls striking of my life. Moving the right knee to the left toe makes it easy to drop my hands and get the club in the slot. I hit a par 5 in 2 for the first time ever at my club. I only (slightly) fatted one iron which was my wedge approach on the 18th and that was just when I started thinking too much. Thank you for making me feel excited about my golf swing again instead of trying all these crazy bowing the wrist and extreme body rotation move that made me so inconsistent.
Your comments make it all worth while 💪💪💪
Funny I was told the opposite by a pro! Lead hand in fingers and palm sits on top 👍 all different styles of teaching
Thanks for the grip video.... I think I've been keeping the club in my fingers too much. My fingers are always sore... Hopefully this will help...
Excellent!! Do you have a swing trigge/movement to actually start the swing? Thanks
Hi, when I’m starting my full swing the first move is with my hands, I’m making a video on the swing plane today the hand movement is mentioned. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on my videos 💪💪💪
Hi, my hands, when they start to move back on plane, they set off a chain reaction 👍
For me ten fingers baseball very strong grip works 💪
You almost give the impression that golf is not that hard to play. Even a senior with two hip replacements can do this. You give me confidence that I can play better. Thanks.
Excellent cameo. Thanks 🙏
yes good video; the rotational force of your body led by your knees should govern your arm/club head speed. It is a good warm up drill.
Why golfers use their arms? Because they don’t rotate down and through nearly enough so the arms are the compensation. 😢
Don’t know why your not using a golf club?
Would you please do a lesson on swing plain and wrist hinge! Thank you
Hi, yes of course it’s on the list 👍
Hi, hopefully I’ll post a video for you today, swing plane wrists and hands. It’s taking me a couple of days to figure out how to simplify the actions. Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos 💪💪💪
Please keep the lessons coming!!
So I’ll be your 12th subscriber. Haha! Never heard of the hands moving on the side of the body and with the trail leg and knee. I’ve studied hand path but this gives it a great visual. 👍
Gold dust. If you’re a golfer and not subscribed. Subscribe
I PREACE FLAT BACKSWING THAT'S HOW i SWING. GOT FLAT? SEE FOR YOURSELF DRIVER SWINGS 300FPS
I will have a look 👍
Thank you. people think there is only one "correct" grip. It wasn't until I decided to go my own way that my game really improved.
As a guy who jacked around with lag dozens of times, I found it never works in the end. You can screw around with it for awhile in your swing but it just never is the real final answer. Lower skilled players think artificially produced lag will give them more distance with an easier swing. And it will. But again, it is never the final answer. Too much unrepeatable timing ultimately creeps in. In the end, lag that is created with enough of an athletic swing that the wrists can't hold back will be the swing you will end up with as an accomplished player. Whether you care to believe it or not, hitting the ball 300+ yards is going to take an emotion filled athletic swing. There is no reliable artificially produced lag shortcut to that. The average "hack" does not want to believe that. They read all this crap on KZread rather than prove it to themselves on the range.
I so prefer the quick bite size inputs. Thanks so much.
Why are you not doing these help videos on a golf course?
I watched your False Turn then this video, took it to the range one time, then played the best round of my life. I'm 69 and wish I learned this 15 years ago when I started, would have saved a lot of money on useless lessons and wasted time at the range. THANK YOU!
Thank you for such a lovely comment 🙏
GET A CLUB, WALKING ABOUT WITHOUT A CLUB, WTAF?
Blocking, damn that's what I'm doing, please enlighten me as to what this directly leads to in my swing.
Hi, if you have little upper body rotation it’s likely the lower body isn’t rotating properly either, this means your effectively playing golf with your arms and the faults are multiple. It sounds like you understand your fault so I’m guessing this is what your practice sessions are focussing on at the moment.
Nice tip, I'll work on it and I'll subscribe.
Of the 100s of youbtube videoes ive watched this was honestly a lightbulb to help starting to correct my early extension...1 million chair drills will never work if you are just trying to rotate the hips. Right knee to left toe!
You said in this video you want the weight to favor the left side. Are you meaning in the follow through or when addressing the ball before the shot? Thanks again!!
Hi, when you address the ball your weight should favour the left side. Personally l like to keep the feeling of weight in my left side, throughout the back and down swings. I really don’t like to do to much weight shifting when hitting irons, l find the strike is much more solid.
@@shaneowen-progolfcoach9835 thanks so much, I'm going to give that a go... You the man!! Keep up the great content..
What a beautiful Place - Where?
Hi, Harstad, Northern Norway 🙏
--- and thanks. Love the style of the videos
Ioving the videos. Please tell me your thoughts. At top of backswing when shifting weight ( right knee to left toe). Do I drop hand at same time or will the weight shift drop them momentarily after weight shift begins ? Or am I overthinking it ? 😁
Golf is about feel if feeling your hands drop helps do that. The right knee to left toe does automatically drop the right shoulder, arms and hands + shift the weight over and forces the left side to open. It’s good practice to feel these moves happening until they become automatic 💪💪💪
Please don't do this stuff. It's terrible advice.
As a 59 year old skier (bend ze knees), now returning to golf for first time in 20 years, this is a very helpful nugget of advice! Slainte mhath!
Your tips are fantastic. Straight to the point, short and sweet. Really helpful as well.
You should use a club in your demonstration as the action of swinging the weight of a club will have an impact on timing and accuracy due to the momentum of the downswing. To show the swing without a club (weight) is not a true representation of what the swing will look like.
Thanks for this played today and enjoyed it following your simple tips.🙋🏻♂️🏌🏻🏴
Class in 60 seconds. Thanks 🙏
Great advice! You have a talent for condensing and conveying the golf swing. Could you create a video in which you elaborate on how we (amateurs) should practice in order to make good progress?
Why is it always the limies who think they know everything about golf?
Because WE invented it and WE have to try and teach you Septic Tanks (Yanks) how to play it…..get it??
