90% of Golfers Make the same mistakes

[MILLERS066]

Thanks for wasting 2 minutes of my life

[peanut1327]

You are actually suppose to do what you're saying not to do because if not you're hacking at it like a baseball swing like the pro at my Local Pro Shop told me

[timetogo888]

knob end !

[SuperMilo15]

this video is bull who gives two craps if your "forearms are twisted" and at 1:21 that cannot be a good finish looks so uncomfortable. so many people "90%" of people do it wrong and still shoot good scores. we arent tour pros trick is to enjoy it not think about your swing plane or anything like that as it is a sure way to fuck up your shot, thank you, good day!

[michaeltillcock]

@SuperMilo15 i guess it depends if you care about how good you want to be able to get...i agree overthinking kills you but your gonna enjoy it more, the more drives you smash down the middle.

[RDWGstudios]

Filmed on a calculator.

[s9ecialk]

oookaayyy...well i think i'll learn more if i go and have a quick ham shank

[baldurus1]

240p is a pretty optimistic claim.

[illeagl]

So true about rolling the club open on takeaway! Gotta take the club back like a putter.

[Thenorthenders]

the quality of this video is so bad i can`t see if guy is swing correct or not!!!

[chipsilo]

9 out of 10 videos on you tube are pure sh|te

[golfmaniac007]

@chipsilo 9 out of 10 comment jokes on youtube is not funny

[DCUPtoejuice]

Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. 14% of people know that.

[mattonlyme]

He may have made up the stats but at least he dressed nice and professionally and tucked his shirt in neatly!

[michaeltillcock]

@mattonlyme hugh grant disagrees

[alloneword154]

90% of statistics can be made to say anything Half of the time

[toatsmegoats1]

90% of the people watching this won't learn anything.

[MrTanker10a]

Not a good video. Good try though!

[steelmesh]

I'm so confused now

[admc8]

90% of this video is bullshit

[Pimpjit85]

was this video taped with a 9 iron?

[calebsworkaccount]

This video quality is too grainy to read the writing they should do a voice over.

[MrBashshar]

90%of these fags are accidents

[anyo1994]

Fuck the take away look at furyk or jiminez there back swings are shit, all that matters is what you are like at impact. Fair enough it might help you to achieve your impact position but take away and back swing arent everything.

[irontoe]

90% of statistics are made up on the spot

[silowhore]

@irontoe i'd say those statistics are probably being kind to amateurs, it's probably more like 98%

[TheTiberDude]

90% of Golfers Make the same mistakes

Watching this video.

[thecock]

was this recorded with an electric toothbrush?

[ihategermanz]

My position at the top is crap. At impact, my hips are square. I know where my hands, shaft and club face should be at the top. I know my hips should be open at impact. I believe most serious golfers also know this.

I think that the good amateurs and pros can get into these positions with ease. That is what separates them from handicap golfers.

So, while this video possibly gives you some correct info, it's only good to someone who didn't have a clue what was going on with their swing.

[NowLifeStarts]

90% of golfers take advice from retards and even go as far as to buy gimmick swing training aids. They all still suck. Either you got natural ability or you don't. Just hit the fucking ball!

[dustmonk74]

good video, i had to figure most of these tips through trial and error

[twpatterson2003]

90% of golfers have trouble with statistics

[Jlan0151738]

67.25% of statistics are useless

[peteryyz43]

...and 100% of this video is a mistake.

[michiganfan725]

90 percent of bad golfers are the ones who are douchey tip-givers

[1tontomato]

90% of instructors on don't know what they're talking about.

[bocephusnation0]

Your endorsement below lacks credibility. Try learning how to spell in English. And tell your buddy, the self proclaimed teacher, to quit talking with marbles in his mouth.

[bigboycat1]

MIKE AUSTIN WAS THE GREAT TEACHES IN THE WORLD OF GOLF AND HE HIT THE GOLF BALL 515 YARD, DAN SHAUGER LEARNED FROM THE BES TEACHES AUSTIN, I HAD SEVERAL LESSONS FROM DAN AND NOW I HIT MY GOLF BALL STRAIGHT DOWN LINE NOW AND HE HELP WITH MY SHORT GAME AND PUTTING, DAN HAS 2 BOOK AND 27 DVD aperfectswing THANK TO DAN I PLAY A BETTER AROUND OF GOLF NOW, GREAT TEACHES

[ElGolfeux]

after watching this kind of video, that's when I'm wondering: Why not starting my own golf school?? Couldn't do much worse!

[cockywatchman1976]

Shiity video!!!!

[ProGolferTips]

<~<~ pro golf guides reviewed on my channel

[zakmoon]

@Culturein2Chaos cheaper than getting a tutor.

[MermaidMacho]

lolz... awesome crap he told... how much concentration do you need on the release, when u have to hit the ball on the ground and not the imaginary ball in the air towards your target...

the only thing will happen is, that all the newbies want to struggle the club into the air or on their own back and the ball flies (at best condition) to the right "Outofbound"

[TheRealOzzie234]

Actually THIS is VERY GOOD. Listen up guys.

[MrChubbleyWarner]

@TheRealOzzie234 - Well Said mate...these are totally the MAIN errors of the average club golfer today - sort these out and the game will become 'enjoyable'...

[MrChubbleyWarner]

i do all these things!!

[beergut111]

well 90% of the information is missing from this video

[jwoorr]

please view my videos and give me tips if you know enough about golf:)

i am a good player looking for the trained eye

[deanlampe]

You're full of shit. Yes, many golfers have the issues you describe, but there's no way you can make the percentage claims that 90% this, 90% that... You're a crook!

[greenfan10]

@deanlampe How is he a crook? This is a free video! He is trying to help your golf swing, not hurt it.

[acershund]

BE Nice!

[XTMRACER17]

1. He did not say you should roll your hands.

2.The club should be pointed parallel to your target, ie: FLAG

3. Eveything this guy is saying is right.

[hotboy326]

actually you shouldnt roll your hands over at the start. you let your wrist cock naturally and the tend to start doing that at about waist high. If you start rolling it into the inside, you tend to roll it over at impact or throw it from the top all depending on your lower body.

[Fiberawptic]

since when is the club supposed to be pointed at the flag when you bring it to the top. Its NOT. Only John Dailey bring it that far back and doesn't always get away with it

[HughMother]

they mean paralel to where the feet are pointing

[WestBromSte]

no one gives a shit what range you go to

[niaziov]

actually i do knw a thing or two bout memory. am studyin medicine

[SaboteurELITE]

looks like you should be studying grammar instead

[HanKang0]

Nice one.

[niaziov]

certain portion of your brain controls a certain group of muscles...n using those muscles in a well timed, co-ordinated manner over n over again makes that pathway (or sequence) in brain easy to "hit".

n that is muscles memory. without even thinkin , u produce that swing...over n over again

[farcle9891]

stop trying to sound like you know what your talking about. Muscles cannot remember things. Your brain remember things. Overall this has to be the worst instructional video for golf that I have ever seen.

[barronbudworth]

He's not actually saying that your muscles will "remember" it's just a term to describe a feeling that is the same every time. and by telling many golfers where flaws occur in their swing will help them self diagnose their swing and give them something to work on. Man i doubt you could do a better job. What's your handicap?

[bensta690]

lol, dont take the term muscle MEMORY too literally, dure, ur brain can remember the sequence u just made like in a practise swing, but the muscle fibres stay fromed a certain way for about 5seconds after u make a swing, enabelling to replicate that swing easy =)

[farcle9891]

muscle memory is a bunch of bs if you ask me. im sorry but the muscles in the human body cannot retain memory. its your mind that does all the work. this has to be the worst golf instruction video on youtube. terrible

[ratemyswing1]

Shutup farcle! you've said the same thing three times!!! we know the muscles cannot retain memory

go back and read some of your replies no ones saying muscles retain memory

[Tomstokcube]

of course theres such thing as muscle memory !

[golfkid33]

if you're trying to sound smart, you failed miserably

[golfkid33]

farcle stop trying to make yourself feel better about your terrible game. The mere thought of your muscles actually being able to form memories is ridiculous, so don't even bothering pointing that out. It's not exactly a misconception among sane individuals here.

[Rickder19]

No, your are!

[farcle9891]

There is no such thing as "muscle memory." Your muscles have no capacity to remember anything. Memory resides in your head. Therefore, no matter how long you practice a golf swing, no matter how skilled you become at it, your muscles can not remember it and exacute it when it arises on the golf course. Your muscles and the rest of your body are controlled by YOUR MIND!!

[Rickder19]

Muscle memory is just a term used to conveniently describe your mind's habit to tell the muscles to move in a certain way. Any dumbfuck knows that it's not actually "muscle memory" so don't feel too proud of yourself.

[farcle9891]

Apparently your are so unintelligent that you can not even write one comment without having to resort to curse words other than thinking of something that really means anything. Just stop arguing with me because honestly you are probably some arrogant golf hacker that doesnt fix his ball marks on the green, that is if you have ever hit a green.

[rthejoo]

You're pretty retarded if you have to explain to people that muscles cannot form memories. The reason it's called muscle memory is because your brain can adapt to almost any physical activity and make it only easier and easier to perform. It even scales down all the way to something as simple as typing on a keyboard. A Youtube computer nerd like you will type faster than a non-computer user due to "muscle memory".

[johnnylovesmilk]

fucking shitty waste of time

[kenteio]

hurt my eyes watching this.

[nsarir]

10% of what you said was true!

[Motown025]

I play off 5, but only with a great short game. I suspect I roll my hands and arms as indicated here, will try not to tomorrow and see if it helps.

[valetudo2000]

So according to this, 90% of us are stupid people with stupid mistakes? Sorry, but you're wrong !

[GreenBlaky]

actually..he's right! It came out wrong though. Just think about how many beginners and bad amateurs are out there!

[Winyamo]

Look at any pro golfer and see their wrists hinge at the top of their back swing. You just have to make shure you have proper return of the club face.

[1Messi8]

BRILLIANT VIDEO

[golfrules08]

hi could you look at my golf swing thanks

[365dave]

if your wrists dont "roll" in the back swing...there is NO possible way to have any kind of angle retention. You will just have the worlds most closed club face on the way back.

Look at Tiger's swing and tell me he doesnt open that club face farther than most other pros on tour in his back swing. Then, tell me he has no consistency with his irons.

I dont know who this guy is...but this video is crap, and he shouldnt be giving golf lessons.

[Jandeman030]

agree with that.

[nickdubz11]

correct..i totaly agree..this guy is no one and i have watched so many of youtubes vids with tiger and i have fixed my swing from that.he "rolls" his wrist a lot

[nsto119]

Tiger's wrists only roll after the club is past parallel, not on the takeaway. That's how it's supposed to be. You don't try to keep your clubface square through your entire backswing, they will break naturally if your takeaway is good.

If you think this tip is crap, then explain the other hundreds of videos (including some by pros such as Nick Faldo) that say the exact same thing?

[kumquat28]

yeh well im 5 and can hit it 310...

[hellborn1986]

bull

[haddtyl]

u can also stfu

[motogpfreakige]

every golfer i have ever seen has a backswing-maybe not a good one but they still have one

[spyder357]

ROFL Thanks Capt. Obvious. :)

[neonkingjamin]

im 13 and i hit balls perfectly, my trainer says my grip is fine and my swing is perfect. i dont understand why people have such trouble doing this.

[Tanman5677]

they were taught the wrong way

[gmonkey808]

hahahaha you spoilt little brat.

[sethisawesome]

wutta douche

[unclePTM]

this video is indeed confusing because it does not clearly say if the player in the video is making the right move or not.

[zoosuck]

it's pretty obvious the guy in the video is demonstrating a bad swing.

[Funmichi]

why is it such bad rated?? i dont understand...

[eddiebutt1]

I think I roll my wrists too much and am confused by either take the club back straight up and down or bringing it back in an arc like fashion (more rounded) if you look at my swing I think I'm cocking my wrists too much have a look and let me know if I am doing it incorrectly.

[TheHoyster13]

So how come the best player in the world tiger woods rotates his forearms in the backswing but still plays better than anyone else.

[600bunny]

u people are idiots!

[GuitarMasterOnline]

have u seen arnold palmers swing? ugly!! e hits it well

[hitdown]

Severely flawed theory.

[kgs1973]

so funny to read these comments this golf is 60 years old and has taught some of the best players in the world . i mean when some fool starts talking about the club face cleary you have no idea . the club face stays square in relation to the body through out the golf swing not target . slow down any of the top players swings in the world and watch . and when you feel like you might have some solid info send it to me or even come for a lesson free and will show you

[hellborn1986]

dont listen to this guy.. i've been doin that 4 the 2 yrs thati've been playin golf n i rip my drivers off the tee(270 yards)

[theredmission]

only 270?

[hellborn1986]

well itz been up-ed now to 310.. anyother comments?

[srix0n]

you should hit driver next time . . .

[smoothswinging14]

this is one of the most wacked instruction I have ever seen. If you want to have a putting/chipping action in your full swing, do what this guy is saying. You will hit your long irons about knee high, and probably come over the top.

[LILJAYJAY902]

you know that you could rotate them back.............your giving like a bad putting lesson.and if you dont twist at all you wont be giving all your power..i think the pros would know better than to leave the club face open......i dont see you in the pros now do i.

[hellcomer52]

bull shit i do some of dem and i can hit 170-200 yrds wit my driver

[corbanguiney]

thats not very good. you should be hitting 170 with your 7 iron at best.

[hellcomer52]

im 12 dumbass!

[knowskill5]

STFU

[fishheads254]

im 14, 140 lbs, and 5'9'' and can hit it 270-280 consistently. age and weight dont matter kid, it's all in the torque and timing.

[qbb01]

lol youre fat thats like 70kg+ im 14 5"9 too and i weigh 55kg fatty fat fat. But youre right it is in the timing.

[bazeball03]

haha ya thats pretty sucky.

[hellcomer52]

im 12 dumbass

[bazeball03]

thaats no excuse you doosh bag

[hellcomer52]

fuuuk you get a life!!!! now piss off u reply to this i will hunt you down and kill dog

[bazeball03]

You gonna be ok? how do you have anymore of a life than me?

[emncaity]

Wow. No more caffeine for you.

[Jamboboy]

LMAO I been playing for a month and I can hit over 200 hundered.

[hellcomer52]

and i got it rong i recently found out the range that im hitting at is in meters not yards

[GlodenAK]

you guys are tards, all pros "open the club" then close it to impact, i hit it straighter, and longer because i do this, TIGER WOODS rotates the face, thats my evidence im doing somthing right

[emncaity]

A _very_ few pros have hooded the club relative to the arc and then worked the club from closed to open through impact (Trevino is one example), but you're right--in almost every good swing throughout history, the face rotates open about 90 degrees relative to the arc (from the starting position), then rotates back 180 degrees into the finish. You really have to do some manipulating to make this _not_ happen.

[GlodenAK]

ok, now u told me all my problems can i get 1 solution???

[golffreak1969]

I bet he would tell you something like this; initiate the backswing with the legs so that your hips & shoulders take the club away to the right without you have to roll the wrists & you´ll be able to cock the wrists right up without opening the club face... You´ll feel you´re not swinging around but rather away from your right shoulder. On the downswing unwind with your legs first, let the hips & shoulders follow and feel you are pulling your hands slightly left, towards your left shoulder.

[emncaity]

Aaaand that's how all the great golfers got great....  ;-)

[HARFORD06]

hell i know many people who are 1 and 2 handicapped who arent in the " perfect" position at the top, its all about counteracting what you do. and if it happens naturally annd you hit it well then who cares. golf score cards dont have pictures on them.

[GlodenAK]

all that matters is at impact, i know a scratch guy, i told him"thats the ulgiest thing ive ever seen"

[HARFORD06]

yup. you can hit the ball as hard as you want, but if you cant hit it in or close to the sweet spot you are screwing yourself out of your full potential.

[pte61kelly]

And 90% of all statistics are made up on the spot which tells you nothing that you do not already know, a bit like this ad for golf lessons.

[janet928]

what on earth is all this mumbo jumbo about for G-d's sake? I learnt more reading the back of a box of cereal for mercy's sake!

[bradgrand]

so wheres the solutions to the problems.

[hitmanhatton11]

Its a golf school. Go and find out.

[bradgrand]

solution!dont put up crap videos.

[progolfer40]

Strange how u assume rotating the forearms is wrong..it is the reason the shoulders turn ,shame you dont know biomechanics.

Oh yes you teach people hitting into nets in basement in london,your teaching tips belong in the cellars as well.

[emncaity]

Exactly. OVERrotating them is no good, but so is overdoing anything in the swing. If he'd like to explain to Cochran and Stobbs (Search for the Perfect Swing) why their extensive biomechanical research on this point is wrong, I'd love to be there to hear it. Meanwhile, viewers at home ought to stand straight up, hold a club out in front of them and see how bloody possible it is to swing that club around them without the forearms rotating at all.

[GdubLongSnapper]

..i could only do it while putting haha

[kgs1973]

shame you dont understand its the rolling of the wrists on the take away thats is the problem not forearms . you are very under qualified and cleary have no idea . we have taught and had success for 60 years and i think you would agree that we most be doing something right .stephen aimes gary player when he won the open michael bollack miguel angel martin when he nearly made ryder cup the list goes on ans so does lesley kings method of teaching if you have the chance come in and learn something

[tman007]

Yes, I agree this is not very helpful at all.

[pattyheno]

yep 90% off golfers make the same mistake..

Watching bad videos like these..

[RatchetSK]

I recorded myself, i dont do this! :D

[speedracer68]

How about showing us what it's supposed to look like..show us the problems doesn't do anybody any good..=)

[assclown2k6]

lol, this act makes golf impossible

[HuwJed]

Yep these vids are vg
