If U take a look at golf My way-Golf Swing by Jack Nicklaus-You will find the biggest secret in golf not dicussed too often.Put the arrow from your mouse over his hands in the take away/set up from both the back and side views.Now notice how in the down swing how his hands are way in front of the mouse arrow position.This shows how he shifted weight and then lagged the clubhead through being dragged by the handle.Swings W shoulders after he shifts weight to the left.Very repetitive =upright
Jack's still the greatest. He has no need to be doing this at this point in his career, but he spends time w/ these kids. Has to be a thrill for them to get instruction from the greatest golfer who ever lived.
@Gyro911 I agree! I would love to learn how to hit the driver and long irons from Jack, have Tiger teach me his recovery game, have Ben Hogan teach me how to hit short irons, and have Phil teach me his short game!
"One Basic Swing for all basic shots. The Grip is the same. The Aim is the same. The Ball position is the same (except for high or low shots) for all basic full swing shots. The Swing's Arc & Plane is the same. The Rhythm & Tempo is the same with all shots." This simple approach to "One Basic Swing", and eliminating varible elements in the set-up and swing can make anyone a better player at any level. Mr. Nicklaus, thanks for sharing these timeless fundamentals with the world. God Bless Ya'.
Dead on perfect. One thing that helped me also is the concept of swinging around your head. Keeping the same posture through the swing and you finish your swing and your body is in the shape of an "r". I can't tell you how much this has helped me. also remember, a nice easy swing, let your arms fall on plane and holy shit will you be amazed. I am going throug back pains now because of playing for 2 months swinging to hit the daylights out of the ball. Well now, my swing doesn't hurt :)
@brh5934 yeah, assuming you make the same exact swing and hit the ball the exact same way, with the exact same club, on an exactly level surface every time, you'll be great!
@brh5934 abosolutely, i think that a lot of teachers overload their students with to much technique and mechanics, where fundamentals are really the key to understanding the game
This is easier said than done. Takes dedication and massive amounts of practice.

great video. It is true, clubface is ALWAYS the king. If you can control the clubface, you can play golf.

@monkymaniac629 yeah thats the point tho. If you develop one swing and repeat the same basic fundamentals your shot dispersion should be minimal
