Hello ladies and gentlemen my name is Jimmy I’m with Tropicana Golf and today’s headline is how to hit a straight ball almost every time now I say almost because in this game nothing is every time but if you implement this I promise you your ball will start going

A lot straighter more often stay right there I’m going to show you all the secrets all right everybody welcome back so here’s the deal this morning I played golf with a couple guys from the club I was watching this gentleman in particular who was hitting the ball

Everywhere Left Right topping it it was it was bad he didn’t play bad but he was just hitting these wild crazy shots and I thought okay let me see what he’s doing let me see if I can learn something from this what I noticed is that he’d get to the

Ball take his stance and then when he would swing he was using all upper body that’s a no no and I thought why is he using all upper body then I looked at his stance his stance was shoulder width apart and that’s good athletic stance for you know basketball or something but

In a hitting motion look at baseball they get in the batter’s box they got this nice big wide stance why because they turn and now they have this big trunk not moving all over the place you’re not using your shoulders or your arms you’re using this and it’s a

Bas I thought to myself I’m going to try this and see if it works I’m going to just and what I mean by uh is shoulder width one two now I felt like oh my gosh try it stand up right now take a normal shoulder width stance and then just go

One two and you just feel like like you’re stable you could take a punch and not fall over here you’re susceptible to the upper body and it’s just hard so get to the ball shoulder width boom boom just baby I’m not talking mon Norman now Mo Norman was probably one of the

Greatest ever and he had this super wide feeling of greatness that’s Mo you’re not Mo and I’m not mo mo practiced that and he knew what he was doing all I’m telling you is shoulder width one two nice big sturdy base like the trunk of a tree these trees out here

They don’t fall over because they have this nice big base if you have a little skinny little tree it’s G to fall over now I’m going to play a couple holes I’m going to show you how this works now I’m going to start it On a par three hitting the ball straight now

Keeping a solid base will promote a straight ball because there’s less movement on a par three you must must must must hit the ball straight on a par four hey if you missed the green I mean if you missed the Fairway you still have a chance and you

Can chip it up there’s all kinds of possibilities here if you hit the ball left or you hit the ball right you’re done not making par end of story so I’m GNA walk you through this I’m GNA play it live I’m going to show you exactly

What to do let me make sure this camera looks good my camera guy called in sick today because it’s raining actually I don’t have a camera guy what am I talking about I forgot um so here we go I’m going to walk you through it and then I’m going

To do it okay so here we go this promotes a straight ball flight get to the ball shoulder width boom boom now I’m nice and wide and big now I take my arms and attach them to my body okay I turn back swing to about my

Waist turn forward and keep my head down did you get that I’m going to walk through it again I want you to play that back I want you to memorize that CU that is important get to the ball shoulder width one two now I’m nice

And wide attach my arms to my body turn back to my waist turn forward and keep my head down here we go par three 170 yards I have a seven iron ball goes perfectly straight perfect ly straight it’s pin High just a little right now if you notice I didn’t mess

With the flag because it is up against the bunker I have a lot of room right let me show you let me zoom in here see this my ball is right there you can see my ball that’s incredible that I can zoom in that far wow okay see all this room right

Here that’s the point you want to play to the wide side of the field now I hit a perfectly straight Ball but now I have some room over there I’m not you know flopping it over a bunker or you know tucked it against the side of the green

I have some room I have some room to negotiate I got a 400 foot apartment right there with a kitchen and a hot plate so I’m good I don’t understand this it’s blue right there can you see the blue skies and it’s it’s raining and I guess it’s kind of jeez

Should be a rainbow out here somewhere right right anyway listen I I hit a straight Ball but I lined up to the wide side of the Green in case I made a mistake it would land on the wide side of the green fine but you must hit it

Straight on a par three if you don’t hit it straight just write down double Bogey and finish your beer cuz it ain’t going to work out well it’s tough part par 3s they’re big and you’re round it’s easy to make a five easy to make a five on a

Par three easy it just happens now I have a putter in my hand I have a long putt but I’m putty I’m off the green okay cool but I have a Putter and now I can do something I can still make a part I’m not going to make this putt there’s

No chance but I’m going to show you how to two putt these with consistency and a lot of peace of mind I’m going to set the camera right here so you can see it I’m going to walk you through it so my ball is way back there way back

There right now I Envision that there is a Jacuzzi right here a Sixers jacuzzi big and everybody’s in there drinking Miller High Life I want to take that ball and roll it into the jacuzzi not slam it into the jacuzzi just let it like you’re W if you were walking into the jacuzzi

You’re not going to can and ball in there you’re going to go hey guys I have a beer and you gently get in let your ball gently get in let’s try it it’s a long putt very difficult you’re not going to make it all you want to do is

Make sure that your next one is a little bit shorter let’s move these little padas out of the way ball is going to break left I see the jacuzzi I see everybody in there drinking Miller High Life bikinis let me in take the ball just

Roll it in roll it in roll it in just let it get there just let it get there don’t jam it just let it get there Hey listen I didn’t truly get the invite to the party I made my way in now I’m hanging outside on the lawn chair

Waiting to get in is it the worst thing ever no I’ll show you why I I have an uphill putt for a par it’s not it’s not terrible it’s pin high so that means I didn’t hit it too hard I hit it just right now I just got to make a putt this

Is the game guys this is the game you got to just play it’s going to break that way it’s a little uphill get to the ball keep my head down roll it and follow it in with the putter just follow it in keep my head down and Follow the Ball bang

Par making par On a par three is very very important it is like winning moneyy it is not breaking even it is winning money par threes are difficult making par On a par four breaking even making birdie On a par five breaking even making par On a par three win winning

Money you must and the only way to do that is to hit a straight shot now we’re going to play a par four and I’m going to show you that this wide base because now you’re going to get to see two shots this wide base promotes what a straight ball

Flight that is what’s important I think that yeah hitting Fades and hitting draws and all that stuff super important don’t get me wrong but being able to hit it straight Every Time come on man that’s that’s a great weapon to have and I’m showing you how to do it this is a

Par 4 dog leg left your worst nightmare look at this you can’t hit driver you know why because it’ll go over there through these trees field goal right there it is 230 yards to that bunker so I have to hit a three iron and keep it on the ground the ball’s wet the

Ground’s wet everything’s wet I want to hit a three iron low let let it get up there so let’s walk through it I set up on the right side of the t- boox I’m aiming just right of that bunker I don’t want to flirt with anything left because the hole goes left

And if I hit it left then what I don’t have a shot in so I have to hit it a little bit right so I have a shot let’s go over it go over it once I want you to memorize this then I’m going to go back

And do it okay I have a three iron in my hand I picked my aiming spot area just right of the bunker okay got that walk up to the ball shoulder width one two let’s look at it this way walk up to the ball shoulder width one two not massive

Just one two that’s it that’s the one two okay here we go walk up to the ball should shoulder width one two I turn back no I’m sorry before I do that my arms are attached to my body I turn back till right here I turn forward and

Keep my head down here we go again all at once here we go ready walk up shoulder width one two arms are attached arms are attached swing back to my waist keep my head down couldn’t hit it any straighter it’s impossible that thing probably moved less than one yard that’s

Pretty impressive that’s hard to do like it’s on a dead straight flush line with where I was trying to hit it and if you can do that over and over and over again you’re going to be very good because that’s hard to beat that’s hard to beat

Consistency is is hard to beat luck some days you’re lucky and some days you’re not but if you’re consistent it’s hard to beat it’s hard to beat they don’t know what they’re going to do they might get lucky they might not but they know that you are going to

Be right down the middle every time feeling of greatness p as the driven snow says mon Norman okay look there’s the dog leg left couldn’t hit a driver because I’d be out over here I have 150 yards from right there my ball is right there jeez camera man okay 150 yards to

A back pin 150 yards to a back pin pin means one 160 got it 160 a little downhill I’m going to take an eight iron and I’m going to hit 160 yard shot to the middle of the green the pin is tucked way back left okay so I’m not going to flirt with

It over there I’m going to hit it to the middle of the green two putt make a par go back finish my beer ready here we go walk you through it and I’m going to do it get to the ball shoulder width one two attach my

Arms swing to my waist turn back once I start to swing I turn everything off I’m not actively thinking about it but the pre-shot I do think about okay so here’s the here’s the Cadence get to the ball shoulder width one two arms attached swing to my waist and go now

I’m completely done I think about cheese pizza cheese pizza it’s a great shot it’s a great shot making the game easy making the game easy please do that to yourself midswing no thoughts literally cheese pizza I teleported to Costco and I just see that cheese pizza now don’t

Come at me telling me that Costco has the worst pizza ever I don’t want to hear it I don’t want any negativity in my life Costco pizza is good Costco driver I don’t know anybody have that let me know if you like it I don’t even hit

Driver but I would I would like to know okay you want to see where my ball is after thinking about cheese pizza cheese easy easy game this is a hard hole dog leg left 390 yards dog leg left you’re probably thinking man brutal nah easy easy

Just stop thinking about it just do what I’m telling you it’ll work there’s the hole I’m going to pull the pin for this one so you can see it a little bit better you can see the swell swell swell what is it called that that I don’t know using

Words I don’t know swell swell swell swell oh my God you see the rainbow wow hold on hold on hold on one minute please oh you can see it wow that’s amazing this a magic video ladies and gentlemen if that’s not a sign to favorite this video don’t share it with your friends

  1. Great video. Any chance of adding shot tracer to your videos. It would be helpful to see your ball flight. Merry Christmas.

  2. Love this little jewel of information. I'm going out to give it a try. I'm a real Moe Norman fan they called him PIPELINE Moe. The guy hit it straight and far. Good job. I'm keeping this one to myself😉

  3. Hello Jimmy
    Another super video!!
    As promised I played the back nine from the blues using your swing.
    I hit 6 of the best 3 irons I have ever hit and shot 3 over par this includes an island green from 189 yards from an elevated tee.
    Thank you for the lessons.
    Again Merry Christmas to all here on this channel
    Regards
    Jerry in Brazil.

  4. Am new Thank you i had to google shoulder width- A normal – or default – stance is one that sees the distance between your feet match the width of your shoulders. Technically and to be more precise, the outside of your shoulders should line up with the middle of your feet in order for such a stance to be considered normal. Great video like always

  5. haha, so good. double rainbow all the way!
    Im gonna try the wider stance, I have a bad habit of chunking the club, hopefully this helps.
    my new swing though is CHEESE PIZZA (and yes, costco pizza is amazing. haters gonna hate)

  6. Thanks, Jimmy. Wide stance works for me. Now that you have some rain, how about demonstrating how to get out of a wet bunker? Cheers, and have a great Christmas.

  7. 🎉”Jacuzzi party” love that … U should have a sponsor and splash that in as a :15sec promo in the middle of your vids Great job Jimmy – Happy Holidays

  8. Great video, straight forward. What about ball position, middle or back?
    Merry Christmas or
    as we say in Wales Nadolig Llawen 😂

  9. Someday you will change your theory's on birdie's put's and start making more.(break 72?) inside 15' You need to tell your mind your going to make it 100% !The ones outside of 15' you can do the Jacuzzi with beers and hot chicks with big boobs thing.
