    The best videos ever ! Enough of these videos with are supposed to fix our problems…but displayed by golfers without problems or vidéos for seniors displayed by young golfers.

    Looks like the consensus is that this is great coaching.

    Don't you think demonstrating with 20 to 24 handicap golfers instead of low to mid handicap would show more proof of concept. No matter who the coach is these videos are about tweeking lower handicap golf swings rather than teaching higher handicap golfers how to swing.

    Erika, I’ve been following too many men teachers, of the Hogan “I wish I had three right hands” school. This lesson really helped. Thanks!

    I love this video and your overall approach. Sorry, but I can't believe that I just discovered you recently. I've been struggling with wayward shots and some physical issues along with old age which has led me to some bad habits trying to recover lost distance. You are a breath of fresh air.

    How about a video with someone who hits their wedge,9,8,7,6 basically the same distance ? Now that would explain a more realistic lesson video! I’d easily take this guys swing!

    She is so insightful. I've gripped the club with a stranglehold and never been able to relax the grip. Can't wait to try this.

    Erika, I stumbled on your videos. This one I'll use tomorrow practicing. I struggle with making good contact with irons and consistent direction.

    The club is also a grass cutting tool actually. 😊

    Erika, I love your teaching style. Your de-emphasis on swing mechanics thoughts and focus on natural body movement is just what I need. Cannot wait to take these drills to the range. Thank you!

    I can’t see why a few folks here criticized anything with the video. If you’re looking” around on YouTube, you’re looking for some sort of an answer and not a full out lesson from scratch. Grip, posture, or whatever are not the topic of this video. She isn’t trying to “prove” her swing theory to anyone, nor does she need to as she’s a worlds number 1 type coach.

    I personally am a 17 handicap and found Erika because I’m struggling (too many YouTube videos killing anything good I had because of bad advice!). I was looking for something “specific” which was the transition, and to literally THROW EVERYTHING OUT and start from scratch.

    After finding her on one random video and having an ah-ha moment, I dug deep into Erika’s videos, put them in order and started to apply them. My range time as of now has improved inanely! I’ve never hit the ball so effortlessly and saw such results after learning her pendulum style swing.

    I am certainly going to invest in her video package in case I missed anything by collecting videos piece-mail. And as I’m 100% certain this is what I’ve been searching for (knowing we all have our own true swing), I’m certainly going to drive 5 hours to see her next season.

    See you in the spring next year Erika!

    What do I do when I'm a 50-60 handicap?

    Erika, I watched this video and it changed everything for me. I’ve been playing golf for 26 months, handicap is 15 and my best score to date is 81. Today, using your swing methods I shot a 75. Thank you and here’s a virtual hug. 🤗.

    Love the concept and bought your true swing class. The problem is that sneaky “scratch golf membership that I did not want hit my card and they don’t even answer the phone. That bit is bad business and does not conform to FTC policy of one click cancellation

    Notice the difference? It's the no hand drill to free the locking of the spine, to allow the spine to rotate from hip to neck.

    I think that is the root to create or generate a controlled swing with freedom. Rotate the spine (back) not sway the spine (back)

    Most golfers after playing for sometimes, tend to grip hard unintentionally. So it is really good to revisit the basic of gripping and addressing. Great coach !

    What's device or the software Erika was using the lesson?

    I either hit behind or top the ball almost all the time. And I also have a sore lower back, so I have to watch out for twisting. And I’m about a 25 to 30 handicap will you be in Texas anytime soon?

    FYI, if I stop using my hands, I have a very difficult time making contact with the ball.

    Erika; I’ve been watching your videos and began using the techniques and doing the drills you recommended. I am a 4 handicap, mostly due to my short game saving many strokes, but now I’m hitting my drives longer and hitting fairways and hitting more greens in regulation.last week I shot 3 under! YOU made this possible. Thank you and keep making videos. I’m a believer!

    I'd like to buy one of your molded-grip rope training aids, but the ones I see online just have plain unmolded handles. Is there a way to buy the one in your videos? Thanks.

    Quit reading your book 5 years ago (thought you were doing Ernest Jones an injustice). After not playing for 2 years (cost), I found I might be able to play this year. I picked up your book again (what the heck, right?) yesterday. I went to a simulator today after literally not swinging a club for 2 years. I was hitting it better than ever in my entire life! I wasn't terrible, I once broke 80. But this is on a whole different level! Everything you said worked just like you said, if you just let the club swing without interfering. Thank you, keep up the great work!

    I don't see how that upright swing can easily translate to driver.
