Very good! Confirms what I been working on without knowing a tenth of what thees guys know. I guess it's just question of trial and error – and pure luck.
Exactly how Scottie Scheffler seems to setup. Thanks!
Same throughout the bag? Same swing thought (posture) for irons and driver?
JTs the real deal, for a long time now. so easy to follow Eric and JT. Thanks, guys, Eric has more pieces with different guests than anyone in the game. The breakdown king, no doubt. Be safe boys.
Great video! One thing I’ve noticed with a couple of playing partners ( and I can’t really tell them), is how different their practice swings are from their actual hits. The practice swing looks controlled, you know, pretty good form and technique,…. and then when they execute the shot, everything changes. I suppose I’ve done that a few times too. Thanks for the upload.
I recently developed a problem with the dreaded shanks after never having an issue for 30+ years. Could not for the life of me come up with the reason why. Tried this "tuck the hips under" at setup for the past three sessions at the range. Was an absolute game changer with my ball striking! Thanks for the video boys!
This may have been the lesson I didn’t know I needed. Hugging the beach ball was the thought that was missing. I was trying to correct my early extension exactly as you said the wrong way was, by getting way into my heels and bent too far over, it just wasn’t working. I had a lot of toe strikes. I went out and gave this a try. My strikes moved to the center or toward the heel on miss hits. It will take some practice to get used to it but I believe this will eventually have a massive impact on my consistency. Thx
Does this fix work for the driver as well?
Eric’s swing is so good it’s easy to make small changes. For us that have scar tissue it is a challenge especially at golf course speed. I’m good on the range ,taking it on the course is tough. JT and Eric are very good instructors.
I’ve found an easy mistake to make using this feel is that the head goes forward at the top and causes impact to happen off the hosel and dreaded shank. Making sure the hips stay back at the top is critical.
Great lesson, I also have a problem with early extension and will try working on this lesson!.
Lead arm parallel on way Up or down when you go deep?
Fer Sher
This is big business.
Eric looks extra Jack Black in this video
What a great video. I'm a scratch player but always struggle with early extension. This simple setup change makes it so much easier to rotate into impact. Thanks for the great content.
This is so helpful. I struggle with this and am in the middle of fixing it. Even being a 7hc. I tend to clear hips much better with higher posture.
Thank you for this video! I'm struggling with this right now and this is incredibly helpful!
Was fun to see myself in this video at 2.24. One of my rare appearances on YT but as always in conjunction with the key word 'bad' 🙂. In fact I have start trying this before I saw this video but I have a really hard time to hit the ball consistently. Very often I hit it with the heel or fat it resulting in a left hook (often there is water there). When I do get it right, it gets longer but the old bad swing is a lot more reliable (because I've done it for years).
The contrast here is of course a bit exaggerated but fixing my setup in this way was transformative for my swing.
Woah ok
What about those of us who aren’t talll and skinny and need to get our chest out of the way?
Unless you’re Keegan Bradley. I’ll never understand his swing.
Is this the same with driver?
I have worked on this, one thing it causes me to do is to hit it fat a lot because I've been someone who comes up in the downswing with early extension, so now I feel like staying down causes me to chunk it. Very frustrating.
WELL DONE! Ive personally went down this solution 'posture' in my attempt to fix my EE 3 yrs ago and abandoned it. Just had a lignt bulb moment with your explanation and conversation. Going to revisit this. TY!
Your best video yet
Such a great lesson .
Tony Fenau does pretty good with one on left
everyone always told me i was too hunched over which is why i've been struggling to hit the ball. after watching this video i went to the range and noticed such a huge difference from standing more upright. more loft, more distance. crazy enough it fixed my slice in my driver from just standing more upright! insane. great video. thank you!
how extreme or exaggerated should the hips back motion on downswing be? i tried this today. if i am a natural fader should the ball still be fading? is the point of this to help your elbow find the slot? if I am pushing the ball, am I not rotating my hips enough? I was crushing the ball when I hit it well, but I found myself to push and slice it more than I'd like at the range. On the course, I didn't have much feel. I found that if I exaggerate this movement its hard for me. However, when I keep these movements pretty restricted (basically just have the idea in my head), I hit the ball more pure. I think I will squat and focus on my left shirt and pant seems and elbow to hit the ball straight or slight draw or fade.
Tony Finau has the exakt bad posture setup?
Unreal! I've figured out my tendency is to over-do everything I'm told. over-did the athletic posture, looking almost like the bad example here 😂 great to get some confirmation that it's ok to stand taller. Would love more videos on commonly over exaggerated parts of the swing! At the moment I'm having trouble on where to draw the line between passive arms and getting stuck with the body out-racing the (too passive) arms.
Love this
Thanks for the tips !! So left arm parallel on way backswing you increase the depth hips staying back increasing more if you can into impact? Thanks again 😊 I always lift up on downswing left arm parallel 😅alway pops my head up
This works for me. Amazing results. Thanks guys.
The shanks via EE occasionally creeps into my game and it makes me feel physically sick. I find by turning my right foot inwards at set up has cured it with not much effect on ball striking. I also find that by setting up with straight legs gets rid of it – whilst this is not ideal, if you get the shanks mid-round, it will give you a way to play!!
It’s amazing how easy they make it look. I’ve been working on this for a couple of weeks and it’s tanking my scores . Went from 70s to 90s just trying to open those hips up at impact. For 2-3 years I’ve played where I look exactly the same at impact as I do at address. I wanna fix it because it looks gosh awful. I don’t understand why I can easily get my hips open playing baseball but just can’t do it during the golf swing. So frustrating. I’ve watched 100s of videos.
should i feel that Im bout to fall forward?
