Nice 💪🏼
Russell, you are the only one talking about keeping the head still and quiet over the ball. My feel is to keep my head still and stay down over the ball. Is my heading moving yes b/c it's an athletic move but I FEEL quiet over the ball. It has made all the difference, brilliant as always.
This lesson really struck home with me. I have been working on increasing my shoulder turn and found that compression with the irons is getting worse. Getting a better strike with less effort is really a breakthrough moment.
Been trying this lately but miss a lot of shots to the right.
What do you do, if your facing a shot that you have to hit higher?
I am 69 years old. I hit my clubs fairly straight, but my friends say I restricted because I have no follow through. It’s like they say I’m putting the brakes on in my downswing. Any suggestions on how to complete the follow-through?
This needs more explaining with a follow up video please.
You da man….
is it normal to have your swing speed drop when you are trying to compress it more? I usually swing my 7 iron around 95 mph.
Man you make golfing look very easy. I have been learnin from your drills and I am getting better. I am a traumatic brain injury survivor. Thanks for the lessons Mr. Heritage, appreciated.
Would love to see you bring your lessons out to the course more often, with some short game tips around the green 👍🏿
100% correct. I came across this myself by trial and error over a period of years. It simply works. No need for huge turn or swinging hard. Great video. 80%, best part of video!
Interesting video. I discovered this by chance. I hurt my back and couldn’t do a full swing – like I had been taught. I moved to a shorter swing, got better compression, tighter dispersion and better scores. Since my back has recovered, my swing has returned to ‘normal’ and the reverse has happened. I’ll be going ‘back to the future’😂
So what was the 3 gradually closed face pics in the intro pic all about ? Just shaft lean with a square face ??
Fantastic advice. I just bought a GEM last week, and I've been working on compression, too, and with the two combined, I was at the range the other day and managed to get the best consistency and dispersion ever. I just need to work on it at the course, which is much harder because mine are built on a hill, so the undulations are extreme! It's tough get it to all work perfectly on a difficult course!
Thanks Russell light bulb 💡 iv been standing too narrow in my stance 😊well done 👏
Great video Russell. Consistency is the elusive element that we’re all looking for. Prioritizing compression and not depth of turn is very helpful as i practice.
Facts. Check out some of the best ball strikers in the world, same fundamentals and principles!
But what if I don't get stuck behind the ball?
God sounds like Rolf Harris this guy, me myself and I . Thought I saw him battling out with woods
Majority of amateurs never truly strike the ball pure with compression. Best feeling in golf
I can't believe it took me this long to figure this out but everything you're saything is spot on. That feeling of compression is soo gooood and its nice to be able to simplify the swing and keep centered.
A rotator cuff injury taught me this same concept. Often over-swung, over-turned, erratic shots the result. My PT said if it didn't hurt, I could play. I had to shorten my swing by 1/3 at least to accomplish that pain-free swing. All of sudden I am hitting straight to slight draw, more consistent ball striking, better yardages the result. When I get wild, I know I've gone too far on the backswing. Great lessons and well explained.
