  1. I don’t have the contraption you show on screen but just thinking about the
    takeaway and keeping it low has helped my swing entirely, combined with the
    other shoulder turn and follow through (the only time in your life you want
    to follow through) vids, my swing looks and more importantly feels more
    connected. Thanks lads, you keep posting and i’ll keep watching.

  2. I’ve watched every single drill video over the course of 2 weeks and I am
    now applying it at the range and wow been 4 times now and my accuracy and
    range have improved from 50% to 90% I think I’m ready for the course so
    thanks a bunch guys saved me a lot of time and money going to watch all the
    other videos now

    

  3. I really needed to see this video! I have been struggling as of late and
    had some swing thoughts about what I used to do when I had a flatter swing
    and was hitting a ball straight or with a draw. This video confirms my
    thoughts and feelings about my swing. Thanks guys!

  4. The downswing should definitely be narrower than the backswing Gordon yes
    but it doesn’t have to be a different path. Some players will do this and
    that is fine but I wouldn’t tryto have two different paths. Ideally we
    would like to see it “on plane on the way back and the way down. the most
    important of the two being the downswing.

  5. Hi guys. Great series of videos. Couple of questions. One, would you
    recommend rolling of the right ankle on the downswing? And two, I have a
    couple of recurring problems in my game. One is my drives tend to leak a
    bit to the right and two, I sometimes shank with my pitches. Are the
    problems related?

  6. Play with others who are your same level. This can help your confidence. As
    a beginning golfer choose to play easy courses with other golfers who are
    just starting to play. Playing difficult holes, or with golfers who are
    experts, will only end up making the game less fun.

  7. I’ve tried doing this and now I have a reverse pivot at the beginning then
    I back up on the down swing causing the occasional topping of the ball with
    the driver. Can you help with these issues? Some drills with video?

  8. A slight roll of the right ankle in the downswing is good yes. The weight
    will shift to the inside of the foot then you can rotate on to the toe.
    This will help with a good weight shift! The problems will be related and
    more than likely from the sounds of it. Your downswing is probably slightly
    over the swing plane in the downswing. I would use some feedback next to
    the golf ball to avoid hitting the heel and force you to swing more from
    the inside. Hope that helps.

  9. Exactly the same path for the irons yes. the only difference is the plane
    is more upright due to the club. No change in the swing though!

  10. Love the videos guys, they’ve helped me a lot, but please invest in a
    second microphone for Piers as he’s hard to hear. Otherwise I turn it up to
    100% to hear Piers, then Andy’s voice blows my ears off 🙂

  11. Would you use the same swing on irons too? I am one of those flat swingers
    and the lesson you demonstrated is the way I usually swing,but I have a
    little problem on my iron play.Thanks for the lesson.

  12. lads i like watching ur videos. i do have two questions: (i) how does a
    faulty backswing affect the downswing. e.g. if i take the club on the
    outside like lee trevino what will this mean for my ball flight on the down
    swing. (ii) how does one develop a good back swing? (because you don’t
    really know what you are doing as you are doing the back swing?)

  13. A good way is to place something next to the right leg and as you swing to
    the top, maintain contact. This will help stabilize your lower body. Maybe
    use a chair or alignment stick. Hope this helps.
