Thank you — great tip
i like burritos
Basics, so easy to learn, grip, stance and posture, so do that first, lots of help on this site for those three things. The biggest thing that I have learned to do ( and this has been huge for me ) swing at the ball with soft arms and hands and hit the ball with @ 80% of your power.
Not only did I hit more fairways but I got the ball out there, no no I can’t hit the ball 300 yds but on our 3rd. hole ( 410 yds. ) I hit driver 7iron on average. So simple basics, then soft hands, smooth swing .
As in many golf instruction videos so called ” instructors ” tend to complicate the swing. I’m just an average guy who enjoys his golf, I’m 64 years old and still learning every time I tee it up. I used to be an 18 handicap player my handicap is now 8 and I can sure play to my 8 so it’s not a flash in the pan.
There certainly is a multitude of helpful instruction on this website when it comes to golf, oh by the way, there is no secret, I have a few ideas that may work for you, so next text.
please view my videos and give me tips if you know enough about golf:)
i am a good player looking for the trained eye

I found some other great tips for driving check them out in my profile!
Thanks to you my swing is soooooo dangerous now. thumbs up and swing by sometimes.
@xvirg – Couple quick suggestions for the limited space here in the comment section…but you might take your video camera with you on the course & record your swings to see if you can isolate what changes for you. You could also do a quick meditation on it. Get in the shower or in a quiet space to calm yourself down & then once your mind is quiet just ask yourself what is changing. Often times when your brain is free of all the noise and clutter, the answer will just pop right in your head.
A $20 bill for you if you can answer this and it works… I’m 56 and have a good swing, very limber. If I start a round after hitting 6-10 range balls, I keep the ball in the fairway and on line. But after a few holes, I start to pull or sometimes push/fade my shots. Am I just loosing my timing or over swinging as I warm up? What can I do to hit consistently since my muscles and joints change during the round? If I hit 25-30 warm-up shots, I may not hit #1 fairway.
@fookfocketyfookfook Good Call…LOL
guys. find my flaws plz
@fookfocketyfookfook – hehe, I’ve heard that from a couple of people
You sound just like Bill Paxton, can you please say “GAME OVER MAAANNN” in your next video? That would be cool.
@fookfocketyfookfook Way to take the gay out… -”No Homo”.
@YaaashMichaelScott I like to imagine flinging some mayonnaise off the end of my shaft, releasing my head soon after. I can really feel the power of my wrists below my waist before this release ugggggghhhhhh
@OUfan49 You may want to try (experiment) with imagining this: flinging an apple off the end of your shaft – making sure you release the club head freely around your body. Or imagine a fishing rod: feel the load of weight/power in your wrists as it gets below yoiur waist “cast” the club head throught the ball hard!! (feeling like your head is actually going backwards as clubead goes away from you through impact.)
Great video. Need to work on my swing for sure. Since a shoulder injury it’s not the same anymore.
Certainly seem to be one of my problems. Especially with the driver. Is this what is meant by getting the club “stuck behind you”?
you are handsome!!!!
1st… If yours grip is too tight. the release won’t happen. Your grip needs to be no firmer than what is allowed to maintain a relaxed feel. Maybe a 4 in a 1-10 scale. You have to experiment. One tip I like was to grip the club like you are holding a bird securely without squeezing it. Your grip will tighten slightly naturally as you take it back.. Once the wrist is cocked try hitting the ball hard as if it were a nail and the club a hammer. The release should happen naturally..
Hey im looking for some good advice to fix my swing from people who know what there talking about. Just type in Clint Kuglar 3 wood in the search bar. Thank you!
@jaacobbowden okay thanks man. I never really focused on the release of my club in the past, but i think ill be able to make my swing a lot more consistent just practicing the release.
@ILoveChappy – Some of the best laggers still have 90 degrees between the club and their lead forearm as the hands are approaching the rear leg on the downswing from a face-on viewpoint…but still get full extension by the time they hit the ball or very shortly after the strike. Working to achieve that would give you a good amount of pop on the ball.
