  • Phil can u please help me with my swing. I have a decent swing but I have the worse case of flipping in the world. I have a few videos on my YouTube page RedUSMarine311 showing this swing. I am totally lost.

  • @RedUSMarines311 Good speed, body motion and balance. But as you go thru the ball you're moving the club, your arms and your energy down the target line vs around your body.

    Look at all the good swings: the butt end of the grip and left side of the hips turn together. Your arms are going straight down the line while your hips are turning. (1/3 way past ball a good indicator)

    So from 1/2 down to 1/2 past the ball the club travels in a half circle. Check out my 'around' vids. Let me know...

  • I posted a link to this video on my MorePars golf blog at wordpress because this is a very under-publicized problem that I have not been able to get rid of. There seems to be a shortage of videos on "the flip" or "scooping" on YouTube. You have a very original approach to explaining and solving the problem. Maybe in a future video you can explain further the right hand and how it really feels like it is adding power by pushing the club but yet it is having the opposite effect. Thank you!

  • @MorePars1 Someone, not me, flagged this comment as spam. I unflagged (unspammed?) it. Anyway, the right hand (right arm, right side of body) pushes the SHAFT, not the CLUBHEAD.

  • this has helped me alot , thanks!

  • Thanks for the positive comment. I mainly try to explain the hitting area in plain English. Good luck! phil

see all

    If you go to Morepars on the web you will find my blog where I comment on your video. I would love for you to subscribe to the blog and comment on the posts from time to time. I can tell from your posts you are a fine instructor. Thanks again!
