  • This is my favorite instruction on the Internet. Watching these videos helped me get "un-stacked" and relearn the graceful upright swing I had as a low handicap amateur in the 1980s.

  • Certainly helping on my drives, which were pathetically going right or slicing right. I finally figured out that one of my issues is that my left wrist was staying cupped or arched at impact (not straight and thus squaring up the club face). I could fix this on my iron shots somehow, but it was giving me fits with a driver. Good tip for a beginner like me...

  • The best short instruction on Youtube. I have tried this on the driving range and it actually works! Before my ball flight was high with no control, with this technique my ball trajectory is lower and straighter. And the best part is that I contact the ball before I hit the mat. The guy has class giving proper credit to Jack Nicklaus.

  • The guy is spot on with this , 90 % of players would be better off starting like this. Take a look at Tom Watson with a driver he points the face into the ground to keep his hands arm leading so if thats good for him and he is one of the best drivers ever. And yes i tech the same and have done in my 28 years as a pro.

  • this is what pros teach

  • this is what alot of teaching pros teach

  • impact fix

  • you're right on with this observation. why is it, then, that the 'modern' set up advocates a 'centered' hand position at address? i understand, it was easier for Nicklaus to achieve his 'straight line' address position due to his ball position, but even a 'front of center' ball position player would benefit from a straightER left arm / club look at address. Promotes a one piece takeaway, that's for sure. Jack was the man!  Along with Hogan, Nicklause knew HIS golf swing better than anyone.

  • Thanx I love yalls golf stuff. It's really improving my game!!!
