Learn all the secrets on “How to Stay Behind the Ball in Golf” in this golf swing lesson by Herman Williams, PGA. Staying behind the golf ball has been a long held principle of golf swing instruction, but unfortunately it has many meanings to different players. And all too often the concept is over-exaggerated to the detriment of the golfer's swing development.

Golfers find themselves asking, ‘does “staying behind the ball in golf” mean to start out in the golf swing setup behind the ball or does it mean to coil behind the ball in the backswing or maybe stay behind the golf ball at impact?' Lastly, where should we be in the golf swing finish … still behind the ball or stacked up on top of the front foot?

Fortunately all these questions and more are answered and demonstrated by Herman in this online golf lesson. But that's not all. As a special bonus Herman also reviews the swings of Ernie Els, Fred Couples, Jonathan Byrd, Luke Donald, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods and shows how each of these PGA Tour Players stays behind the golf ball in their own unique way.

  1. I wish you were here in Australia Herman, I sure enjoy your videos and
    learn lots from them. I haven’t come across a golf coach that articulates
    the dynamics of the golf swing the way you do. Thank you

  4. A video that discusses and deconflicts “staying behind the ball” with
    “staying on top of or covering the ball” would be great.
    

  5. Excellent analysis Herman. I cant get the ball high enough, my hands are so
    far forward at impact, my pro says I cover the ball unbeleivably. I can
    swing my 6 iron 105 mph, 98 mph normal and it only carrys 150 yards.
    Hopefully this will help. Thanks

  6. This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. I had to mentally envision
    this and watch the pro’s and then searched online for confirmation. This
    WAS IT! THANK YOU!

  7. Excellent review of the fundamentals. I like how you keep your explanations
    crystal clear and simple for the student. The tour swings reinforce the
    points nicely. Thank you, Herman!

  10. Great to have you back Herman! Quality videos with something for everyone
    of all levels to contemplate. I’m a 4 hcp and always take useful pointers
    from your presentations. Thanks!

  12. Excellent. I wish I lived closer so I could take lessons from you. Unlike
    most teachers, you know what the jargon means and you can illustrate it.
    Amazing.

  13. Here’s the latest video for Herman Williams Golf … How to Stay Behind the
    Golf Ball at Setup, Backswing, Impact and Finish.

  16. Thank you Herman,
    Great information on staying behind the golf ball… this should help a
    great deal in achieving that “like butter” pure-strike feeling through the
    ball.

    On another question… What type of material is your white indoor
    hitting-net?
    Thanks again for your well presented golf instruction.
    Peace ~ Jaime
