  2. Sam I really like your simple method. Snead, Hogan, Nicklaus and the greats
    didn’t have camera polished swings and were arguably the best ball
    strikers. I have a question though, when you pull your hands ahead of the
    ball it kinda opens the face so I’m wondering if you need to start off at
    address with the face square to target line. It’s cold and snowy so I have
    months before I can test out your methodology.

  3. This is crazy. I’ve been playing self-taught since I was a kid, and someone
    just told me that I have a square to square swing. This really is almost
    exactly what I do

  4. Hey Sam, started the S2S end of last season a kinda found a nice groove
    (thanks) which was nice. After a canadian winter getting back on the range
    I am finding that I am over hooking the ball especially high irons and
    woods (I dont hit driver, 3 wood max). Is it just as simple as over
    rotating?

  5. Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone! for more information feel
    free to visit my website and check out the “square to square swingers forum”
    Thanks again for all the comments! Happy Golfing!

  6. Sam, very interesting video. One question, Steve Stricker is also known
    for his shallow divots. Seems that if his swing is bottoming 4-5 inches in
    front of the ball, he would be taking bigger divots. Thoughts? Thanks.

  8. Sam- I broke my neck in 3-places and was paralyzed from the neck down. Long
    story short- after 5-years and 7000 hours of therapy & working out, I
    regained enough motor nerve function to where I have my arms & hands back
    90% and can just stand and take a few steps with 2 canes/Walker. I can
    barely balance at address, but am playing golf again. I’m still 70-100
    paralyzed from the chest down. Your videos are VERY HELPFUL and my goal is
    to qualify for the 2015 British Open for disabled Golfers. Any help or
    advice would be greatly appreciated. Super video for first time out. Many
    thanks & best regards, Wm. Sturman~

  10. I downloaded the lessons on Kindle and read them twice. I am hitting the
    ball straighter but with less distance. I am one club under all shots. If
    I hit a 5 iron 150 before, now it is 130-140.

  11. Hi Sam…… Is it safe to say that the type of release needed for this
    swing is a “hold off” release. You know what I mean? The type of release
    David Duval used to use for his shut face swing back in the early 2000s.
    Or Dustin Johnson?

  12. I just had a lesson today and the pro was teaching me exactly this! It
    does work. Granted, I don’t erratically bomb my 7-iron 180yds anymore but
    I will take the straight to straight/draw 155yd 7-iron all day. I was
    taught about keeping the club face square to the swing path with a one
    piece takeaway keeping the hands quiet; focusing on taking the club back
    with my torso, and taking it through with my hips and a turn. WOW! 🙂
    Almost all of my swings had the divot in front of where the ball was and
    the times I didn’t have a divot was only because I somehow picked it clean
    or thinned the shot. Can’t wait to spend more time perfecting this swing.
    I actually stuck all five balls I was playing on the green from
    approximately 150 out which used to be next to impossible for me with the
    handsy-swing I was gaming. Too much timing involved in that rolling the
    forearms/hands type of release. 

  13. Thank you thank you thank you I have always naturally done this with my
    irons and I hit great shots using my current miura tournament blades.
    However I have struggled with driving accuracy due to too much rotation in
    my advanced age. I still hit fairways but I could not predict fade or
    draw… After watching this video I shot my lowest 9 hole score ever and
    hit 13 fairways for that 18 hole round. Thanks so much and yes I broke 70
    38-30 I have not been this low since my days in college as a low plus
    golfer my average round is 76 so this was an amazing improvement for me I
    hope it lasts! One question, I struggle with game improvement or cavity
    clubs could this be why? I do hit the dime on my club face with blades
    ranging from hogans years ago to mizuno to my current miura… I tried ap2
    and gave them to a friend after a week ball went way too high with c tapers
    and I lost control and feel. Thanks again do you have videos for sale or
    partner pros on the east coast?

  14. Hello..how do you get to top of backswing? When I turn my shoulders entire
    club and my arm is straight and parallel to ground unless I lift my arms
    and or cock my wrist?

  15. Sam, great shot of Locke 2011. You had camara angle spot on. I recently
    looked at Locke and could not understand the camara angle above and to tbe
    inside.

    Also I do not believe you understand whst wrist cock is in realtion to NO
    wristcock. Here’s why, 1st that is ‘impact fix position’ what your
    descibing TGM no big deal also not a playable forward press (just a drill)
    At least not for most quality players. The other issue is by pushing
    forward with shaft prior to takeaway “changes” the right wrist position /
    shaft postion and now you do not have NO WRIST COCK……you set wrist (
    pre cock) prior to engaging your alledged ‘ turn – turn’ philosophy.

    Stricker lacks massive flexibility in all parts of his body. He cannot
    swing it like Scott Rory or Kaymer.

    He cannot get to those atheletic positions. I believe swinging n hitting
    are completely different. Stricker a hitter not fast twitch muscles. JB
    Holmes hitter w fast twitch.

    My opinion that photo sequence of Brian Locke is model perfect. Locke hits
    it as good as I have seen.

    Appreciate you allowing my comment. Thank you

    

  17. Let’s see how this works for me on the range, I have trouble with the face
    being open and block shots off to the right, hopefully this cures it. The
    fact of the matter is that rotating shoulders is so much easier than have
    the club rotate, but wouldn’t this reduce power/distance?

  20. I have watched 100’s of videos on the golf swing. This has been by a mile
    the best. I immediately began striking my irons more consistently than ever
    before. THANK YOU for posting this. THANK YOU!

  21. How is shooting 42 on the back nine and 47 on the front nine after watching
    your video here and the driver video. I usually break 100.
    Thanks so much. I think I’ll even do some practicing and really improve.
    Thanks so much Sam. Haven’t played golf in 6 months and last time I played
    it was so bad I thought I was going to quit the game I love. Thanks again

  23. Just great. I’m sort of self taught. Always naturally used this method for
    all my chips and pitch shots and have always been deadly accurate, but took
    some lessons and “learned” to rotate my wrists and everything just went
    south. Didn’t understand. But now using your method for all my shots and
    accuracy right back.

  24. I recently found this swing and I love it. The only problem I have is that
    I can’t get any launch with longer irons. Do you have the same problem?
    If not, do you have any tips to launch higher with this swing style?

  27. I tried this today, JAN 25, 2014 I shot 3 over on the front, 6 over on the
    back, I hit about 30 balls prior to going out today, No bull I hit a 4 iron
    today 240 yards it was a little wind aided but I flew the green on my
    approach to the par 5, I also had a drive of about 341 on a par 4 401 yard
    hole. I have never felt contact or impact like this before. Now I am a
    okay golfer already 12.9 index with a 117 swing speed but I and 60 years
    old but I have a feeling I am going to get better with this method. I
    really was able to hit some very accurate shots, thanks Sam I love you
    tube. I learn so much. Works great for chip as well

  30. Great tip Sam, it really works. The one part where I’m struggling with
    using it is the driver – it somehow creates way too much backspin and the
    ball launches way to high and lands at too steep an angle to get any roll.
    Any ideas?
