I look forward to your videos. Hang in there. I think the changes you’re trying to make will pay big dividends down the road.
Hey Chad,
I’ve been following/watching your channel for over 4 years now.. isn’t this game just so damn enjoyable, lol? Many golfers would love to have your game… so keep at it 🙂
My observation from this last Golf-tech lesson is you seem too tense. Your wrists seem locked and arms tight. Your takeaway looks rigid and in my opinion is the source of your inconsistency.
Those last three swings with the PVC station seemed much more relaxed. Your wrist hinge was more of… a hinge. I am no teacher but like many of us, have an obsession with this game. So my 2 cents is you focus on a reasonable grip pressure but loose arms and wrists to feel the weight of the club. One last thing that seems to be working for me better than ever, is more of a body swing and passive arms. My takeaway for instance I try to have a feeling of loose wrist hinge and the weight of the club adds pressure to my fingers. Hard to describe, but those 3 swings you did looked really good and relaxed. Cheers!
I came, I saw, I conquered, but I left broken hearted . .
Oh man this is painfull to watch, you'll never find your own natural swing doing all these swing plane drills and other nonsense , just get out and hit balls without thinking about it just let it go without a care in the world , I guarantee you'll start striking it pure again . Good luck
Yup – agree you have to get the first few feet of your swing to go more straight back instead of inside. Jessica has you on the right track even though it feels weird at times . I think your close to a big breakthrough. I’m a graves golf moe norman student & work with a online coach & I Totally get your “ feel versus real “ issues . Keep grinding away !
Absolutely 100% great advice. She nailed it Chad. Focus on that trail elbow stop pulling it behind . It elevates and bends only. Hands stay inside and the clubface and torso turn together on the same plane.
You are taking the club back with just your arms. You are not turning your shoulders . An arms only take away is almost impossible to get on plane. Plus it causes sequence issues.
That closure rate with with your upper arm to your pec looks much better now (see last week's comment)! 🙂 Seriously though, it's great to see these eureka moments! Anybody's epiphany is always uplifting to watch in my book.
In relation to the closure rate of the upper lead arm with the chest, you'll notice that in the better swings while your body was still turning, the rate of closure of the upper lead arm to your pec was very slow and well blended with the rate of lifting of the lead arm, and then as your turn slowed down and began to prepare to reverse directon, the closure rate of the upper arm increased until the reversal of direction began to carrry the lead arm back around the body. This pattern keeps the lead arm from being thrown out towards the ball too quickly.
Previously, your lead arm was "taking a shortcut" and being trapped on your pec very early in the closure of your shoulders which didn't allow you to synchronize the motion of your lead arm with the flow of your backswing turn and the reversal of direction of motion in the transition which is necessary to stay on plane. Those last several swings looked WAY better.
Then a quiet transition as the arms drop and then the neck and head are released to turn with the body through the impact zone. The release of the neck in the late transition is an integral part of turning through with the club on plane because the arms are following the body at that point. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
It’s painful to watch this! 😢 I appreciate you are going through this for your subscribers!
My take away from this (I realize the pun here 😮) is that with all the technology and knowledge of the golf swing currently available, we are still trying to teach people a motion in a way which is counterintuitive! Of course it is going to be difficult but it doesn’t have to be. I personally have been on this quest for many years and have realized that a swing change isn’t about tweaking a swing plain or wrist position. Your brain will always override your conscious intent with a subconscious one unless you give it completely new directions and intent. I’ve recently learned impact is the only important thing to get right and if you start at impact and wind up with the intent of getting back to impact, your brain figures out the rest.
JChowngolf does this with great success!
Cheers Chad
Thanks for your channel!
Feel and real is insane, isnt it?! Great video buddy.
man …. im right there with you .. im having to try and mimic matt wolff to get that swing plane be more normal for me … its gonna take work but i think it will pay off
Thanks brother, I know it is a struggle to change things all the time. You are giving of yourself for this channel. I have decided to settle in to something for the next year myself and give it my all in making the changes. Looking forward to finding my game again inside all the muck.
the golf illusion, push out at 45 degrees as your turning
also try dj trajan's swing crazy
You gotta see this! (link title following in quotes) "【格好いいスイング】キャメロンチャンプ（CameronChamp）ゴルフスイング集" (the thumbnail is a split frame of Champ and the moment of interest is at 0:14). Unbelievable flexibility! So the next time that someone tells you to swing like Champ, show them this stretch. Unless you can do this but I would dislocate my spine 🙂Cheers.
Cant belive its taken her so long to realise the problem was your takeaway !!!!!
I practiced this very thing on the range yesterday afternoon then went out and shot a 74. I does work.
Porzak golf explains the hand path and golf club take angle . He said hand path is fallow the feet line and the shaft 45 degrees out . Hand still close to body . Check it out Porzak golf
I have seen this from several YouTube golf instruction videos (most recently today).
World #1 coach Pete Cowen put a putter grip with a flat top on a 9i. He gives his students the 9i, tells them to take a normal grip and keep the flat top pointing at their body at all times during the swing. Supposedly this gets students on plane with good ball striking.
BTW, using a putter grip on other clubs in competition is illegal. Perhaps the mental visual of this training aid is enough?
**TIP** Like many others I suffered the same problem. Local pro taught me to turn my chin ever so slightly to the right on plane during my takeaway. Your chin will tell your arms where to go. Turn your head flat and your swing will be flat. Exaggerate the upward plane of your head swivel. You only need to do it an inch or so. Your club path will follow like a puppy dog. You can still keep your head “still.”
