I'm trying to learn to keep the same angle and not lose that box, its hard for me for some reason. Also, I am working on turning my hips earlier because my hips turn after I make contact with the ball. If anyone has any tips I would appreciate it.
Cumguzzlar you are quite correct. Just unboxed me john wayne memorial cukoo clock this morning. I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is the single most skillfully handrafted, beautiful piece of shitty plastic wank. I had to knead myself off when the posty came, bloody marvellous!
Nice, anyway....i must tell you about this mongol at work, he's got an account wi the bradford exchange, just got the john wayne cuckoo clock today, very nice, also got the spirit of derby town centre signet ring, he now has 2 for each finger to show off his wealth, he rekonz he's fuckin nails, i rekonz he's a fat cunt, but that's merely my personal opinion.
@silowhore no one really gives a shit about any wins except the majors. Even the players will say that. British Open once, us open twice. With his perfect swing I'd hoped and thought it was a given he'd win more. He would trade every other tournament he's every won for the amount of majors that tiger has. I hate that bastard BTW.

Everyone who hits a golf ball puts backspin on it so that it climbs up into the air. The more swingspeed that is generated equates to a larger backspin rate. It is a form of Bernoullis theory of pressure differences between the top and bottom of the ball that makes the ball fly.
hey maybe sum of u guys mite b able 2 ansa dis, how can he possibly get enough spin on his shortgame shots into greens wit such a slow and simple swing, it dusnt seem doable, ive been tryin 4 months 2 backspin or at least bite wit d same rythm swing as him, and i jst cant!!!
@Rugbyman2468 just hit the ball first and no grass at all, it sorta feels like a blade but you put some spin to stop it on a dime, once you get the hold of it, you can put more spin on it.
@Rugbyman2468 I asked that exact same question, and it's down to a few things. First of all they're chipping off fairways that are cut as tight as the greens on normal courses (this helps nip the ball off the turf), secondly, although it looks like an easy swing, his hands are actually moving very fast through impact, and this generates more spin, and lastly, they're using practically brand new wedges every tournament, which keeps the grooves sharp. But the hands make the most difference
@Rugbyman2468 anybody, and really anybody, can put bite/spin on the ball as long as they make ball first contact with the center of the clubface as long as the grooves are clean. clean your clubs and let them do the work, and really get that ball coming off the center of the face. it does not matter one bit how much you "hit down" on the ball, contrary to popular belief. apples to apples, considering the same club, speed and ball position of the strike, the ball will always spin the same.
The holding of the box is the best swing tip I have come across lately that is an easy thing to keep in mind on the range. It will definitely help prevent that weak blocked shot to the right more often. Great stuff!
@shawnwave You are absolutely correct. I will never forget the duel they had in Hawaii as well as at the Presidents Cup. It would be great to see them go at it again. Those duels were really fun to watch.
@PapaBearGolf i cant recall the hawaii one but the presidents cup one was classic!....tiger was dictating the terms but ernie followed well! He holed a solid putt at the last hole before they called it equal.
@shawnwave If you get a chance to see the playoff between the two of them that happened in Hawaii, watch it. I can't recall the year off the top of my head but it was also classic. Tiger ended up making about a 30 to 40 footer. Ernie had a putt just a little shorter which he made a very good run at that just didn't go in. It was not quite as good as the Presidents Cup but still a great battle. Really fun to watch.
Ernie is a fantastic talent in golf. I wish his run challenging Tiger had lasted longer. I think you have to be careful with what he says here though. His point of maintaining your spine angle is correct & most amateur players struggle with that. I think you need to be careful with trying to lag the club. Most players should try to let their arms swing more. An increase in lag can led to flippy hands at the bottom & very inconsistent strikes. Visit my channel at PapaBearGolf & leave a comment.
@PapaBearGolf... i beg to differ good sir. when increasing lag, a ball can only be properly struck by steady hands and a flat left wrist with the club on the right plane. these three things must happen otherwise you will either pull it left, hit it on the heel, or hit it fat. he's showing how to make a proper golf swing, not a crappy incorrect swing aided by technology to make bad golfers feel better about themselves.
If you have a lot of talent and practice a lot then trying to increase your lag may be something to work on if you want more distance. However I would disagree with you when you are talking about the avg. player who works for a living & plays mostly on the weekend & may get to practice once during the week. That player is better served releasing the club as soon as possible. That is whom the comment was intended. You have to think of the avg. player here.
respectfully, i contend that all golfers aspire to strike a crisp iron, no matter what the skill level. that requires us to make a divot just after the ball is struck. so, while that may not require as much lag as ern is demonstrating, it does require the hands to be leading the head at impact, which in turn requires some amount of lag. practicing bad habits for an hour still takes an hour. why not use that hour practicing properly?
I have been a member of the PGA of America for over 15 years & have been teaching before I became a member. I have given well over 1000 lessons working with a wide variety of skill levels. I have worked standing right next to the likes of Jim Flick for 9 years & studied Jim Hardy very closely. Both of these guys have taught many tour pros & I can tell you for a fact neither of them would work on this with an avg. player. Only with an accomplished player. That is the point.
@PapaBearGolf Hi, appreciate your ref to your channel but Ernie is correct in his video and some of us less accomplished players would like to keep the angle. I'm into my 70's and still want to improve over my mates, keeping the angle is my next objective. Any real golfer wants to progress. Please don't write the average player off. I would agree that If the player is not physically and mentally up to this move than it would be silly to coach but to give up on them before trying is not right.
11CarlisleGC. I never said Ernie was not correct to work on this for himself. If you really listen to what he is saying, he is telling you that is what he is working on for himself & not saying it is something for all skill levels to work on. As a long time golf professional I can assure you most players with handicaps above 10 have things they need to improve 1st. Trying to maintain the angle can lead to flippy hands & non-solid strikes. Non-solid strikes are where most players lose distance.
@shawnwave I hope your right. It would be great to see him stay at the top for a long time. Have always been a fan of Ernie's. His personal life story is inspiring. I think he is a player who can really challenge Tiger even when Tiger is playing well. If he can keep things going and I think he can now that his son is getting better care. He will make Tiger have to play at the top of his game if he wants to beat Ernie. That would be fantastic for the game.
@PapaBearGolf it would be great to see both of them go head to head on their best day! ernie with his cool temperament will be hard to shake.....having said that its not gonna be that easy for the big easy! lol
love ernie, such a class guy. been my fav golfer since i was a kid. i hope he can get his master's and pga championship victories to complete the grand slam.
Yes. One of Ernie's intermitent faults over the years has been to get a little loose at the top and throw a little from the top. This is because he's so flexible, and probably doesn't realise he's doing it until it becomes a problem. The swingthought is a counter to this like you say, (so beware reading too much into it if you don't have the same problem, you'll go too far the other way!)
Love Ernie, but in fact he doesn't do this in his full swings, nor could any good player. That angle has to open up and release or you've got a total hang-on move, which is the exact opposite of a good Els swing.
It may be that the _sensation_ of doing this helps him in some way.
Dead right, if I tried that i'd block everything. The club releases from the top and extends through the impact area. Ernie is describing what he is feeling in this session, whats keeping him on track at the moment. The laws of physics govern the reality!
I really think he's reacting to a move that wormed its way into his swing about three years ago, maybe four--that little bounce at the top where the angle starts to open before he comes down. You may know what I'm talking about--if not, I'll find a vid on YT to show it. This "tip" here is exactly the kind of thing he'd need to counter that.
Hmm. I'm not sure I'm following. Correct me if I'm wrong: I think you're saying that the angle between arms and shaft that is visible at address on a DTL view of a good player is all but gone with Ernie at impact--that is, that this angle has straightened. But then, when you say his forearm is "almost parallel to the ground," I can't get a fix on what that means. What am I wrong about so far?
1. right arm at address should be roughy = right arm at impact (eg. tiger)
2. problem: ernie's right forearm at impact is not equal to the address position. the right arm forms a 45 degree angle at the elbow - too much bend. see how tiger's right arm at impact hangs almost vertically down - exactly the same as at address.
lesson: right arm at impact = right arm at address.
Btw, im a scrtch player, frm singapore hopin to turn pro nxt yr.
@mysteryisgod... no it doesn't. all great ballstrikers, or even decent ones for that matter, have a bent elbow at impact. yes, even tiger. it's the only way to ensure a square clubface. if your arm is straight at impact your clubface is closed, unless you have a weaker than neutral grip and you get flippy with your hands. if you want to be a pro, you're going to have to do better than scratch.
Not quite. The reason the right arm cannot be straight at impact as at address, is because once you start swinging down the right elbow is pulled to touching the right hip as the swing arc narrows. Just like the best ball striker of all times, Ben Hogan, said 'the downswing arc is narrower than the backswing arc'. Tiger's right arm is almost equally straight at impact as at address b/c his right elbow is in front of the hip, as opposed to touching it such as Ernie and the majority of players.
Tiger can keep his right elbow pointing in front of his right hip because his lower body and hips rotate so efficiently. This is one of the bigger differences in his swing compared to Hogan's. Keeping the right elbow touching the right hip on the downswing promotes the body to rotate the blade square. This is much more reliable for the majority of golfers since it takes the wrists out of play. All the best with becoming a pro, hope you make it. Tour pro or teaching pro?
I am watching a video of Ernie Els, and under it the first word I read on a coment is "Tiger can....." Is there not enough Tiger videos in youtube, for you to leave your opinions there? Here let´s talk about Ernie's tip. And Ernie's approach. Thank you.
Bottom line is: I don´t care about Tiger, Tiger fans and enthusiastics stick to Tiger videos and sites. (And I don´t particularly dislike Tiger)

The swingthought is a counter to this like you say, (so beware reading too much into it if you don't have the same problem, you'll go too far the other way!)

Love Ernie, but in fact he doesn't do this in his full swings, nor could any good player. That angle has to open up and release or you've got a total hang-on move, which is the exact opposite of a good Els swing.
It may be that the _sensation_ of doing this helps him in some way.

Dead right, if I tried that i'd block everything. The club releases from the top and extends through the impact area. Ernie is describing what he is feeling in this session, whats keeping him on track at the moment. The laws of physics govern the reality!
tiger2995 2 years ago
You got it.
I really think he's reacting to a move that wormed its way into his swing about three years ago, maybe four--that little bounce at the top where the angle starts to open before he comes down. You may know what I'm talking about--if not, I'll find a vid on YT to show it. This "tip" here is exactly the kind of thing he'd need to counter that.

I don't see, after looking at this swing, how anyone could say it isn't a top 5 swing of all time? Please explain why it isn't?
don't confuse the question with results and many other variables to winning?

definitely a top 5 swinger. wonderful tip as well.
the only slight complaint i have with his swing is his right forearm being almost parallel to the ground - while tiger's is almost vertical.
this results in ernie's hands being slightly closer to the ball at impact than address.
tiger's hands are almost in the same position at impact and address - this is because he doesnt bend his right elbow at impact.

parallel to the ground where?
emncaity 2 years ago
at impact (check an ernie els swing vision) - the right forearm should be in the same line as the club - almost perpendicular to the ground.
ernie doesnt do this. he instead pushes the ball with his wrist...creating too much dependency on speed from the wrist - resulting in inconsistency

On the DTL view, or from face-on?
emncaity 2 years ago
down the line.

Hmm. I'm not sure I'm following. Correct me if I'm wrong: I think you're saying that the angle between arms and shaft that is visible at address on a DTL view of a good player is all but gone with Ernie at impact--that is, that this angle has straightened. But then, when you say his forearm is "almost parallel to the ground," I can't get a fix on what that means. What am I wrong about so far?
emncaity 2 years ago
ok, in a nutshell -
1. right arm at address should be roughy = right arm at impact (eg. tiger)
2. problem: ernie's right forearm at impact is not equal to the address position. the right arm forms a 45 degree angle at the elbow - too much bend. see how tiger's right arm at impact hangs almost vertically down - exactly the same as at address.
lesson: right arm at impact = right arm at address.
Btw, im a scrtch player, frm singapore hopin to turn pro nxt yr.

@mysteryisgod... no it doesn't. all great ballstrikers, or even decent ones for that matter, have a bent elbow at impact. yes, even tiger. it's the only way to ensure a square clubface. if your arm is straight at impact your clubface is closed, unless you have a weaker than neutral grip and you get flippy with your hands. if you want to be a pro, you're going to have to do better than scratch.

Not quite. The reason the right arm cannot be straight at impact as at address, is because once you start swinging down the right elbow is pulled to touching the right hip as the swing arc narrows. Just like the best ball striker of all times, Ben Hogan, said 'the downswing arc is narrower than the backswing arc'. Tiger's right arm is almost equally straight at impact as at address b/c his right elbow is in front of the hip, as opposed to touching it such as Ernie and the majority of players.

Continued
Tiger can keep his right elbow pointing in front of his right hip because his lower body and hips rotate so efficiently. This is one of the bigger differences in his swing compared to Hogan's. Keeping the right elbow touching the right hip on the downswing promotes the body to rotate the blade square. This is much more reliable for the majority of golfers since it takes the wrists out of play. All the best with becoming a pro, hope you make it. Tour pro or teaching pro?

asian tour pro hopefully.
i agree tiger is one of the few who can do it, probably due to his muscles and low body fat.

I am watching a video of Ernie Els, and under it the first word I read on a coment is "Tiger can....." Is there not enough Tiger videos in youtube, for you to leave your opinions there? Here let´s talk about Ernie's tip. And Ernie's approach. Thank you.
Bottom line is: I don´t care about Tiger, Tiger fans and enthusiastics stick to Tiger videos and sites. (And I don´t particularly dislike Tiger)
ivandaniel08 2 years ago
I can understand your point, it is rather ironic that there actually are so many Tiger comments on Ernie Els videos.
