Do not rely on feel to analyze your golf swing, because what you feel is not what is really happening. You must use technology or practice stations to get real data and real feedback. I show you several practice stations in this video as well as some great technology, including HackMotion. Follow my lead and let’s improve your golf swing in 2024.

Well there’s a saying in the world of golf instruction that’s been around for several years that became very popular and that saying was this feel is not real and why did it become so popular because it’s dead true so what does that mean feel is not real well constantly I
Have students coming to me and they always want to tell you about what they feel they’re doing in their Gossling well I feel like I get to the top of the back swing and my left wrist is bent or I feel like I’m lifting my head on the
Downswing or I feel like I’m swaying whatever the whatever the case may be and you put them on film and you look at them and they’re never doing what they think they’re doing so let’s dive into this topic and let’s talk about why your feel isn’t real and what you have to do
To overcome this but before we do do me a favor hit that subscribe button and hit that like button for me it really helps me out and I’d appreciate it a whole lot let’s get going so why are our feelings almost always wrong in the golf swing
Well I think it’s because the brain is analyzing the golf shot and then the brain sees what the golf ball does and it logically tries to figure out what must have happened in the body and our brain is very powerful and when your brain tells you something
Then we can feel it let’s talk about the biggest one it’s a shank now I get people coming to me with a shank all the time and you know balls squirting over there to the right and I ask them all the time okay what does your Club face
Look like an impact and every single time they tell me that their Club face is wide open well when the fact of the matter is 99% of the time their Club face is closed so the brain is not feeling feeling what’s happening in that club
Face the brain is seeing the ball go to the right therefore the brain is saying well that club face must be open so what do we have to do in order to get over what our brain is telling us we have to get some quantifiable results
And get some visual or something in the golf swing so we can go back and analyze it ourself and let me talk about easy ways that we can do this so the easiest thing to do is use the one thing that everybody has with them all the time now
And that’s your cell phone turn that cell phone onto video and video yourself okay you want to video yourself from down the line and then you want to also video yourself from face on and just watch your swing and see if you’re doing what you think you’re doing that’s the
Most simple thing that we can do we can use our phone the other thing that you should always do is you should always practice from a station and if you go back and look at almost every single one of my videos where I’m talking about the golf
Swing I’m showing you some type of practice station to use and this feel this this idea of feel isn’t real is why the practice station is so important okay so let’s just talk about the person that hits a slice the person that hits a slice comes over the top with an open
Club face well as much as they feel like they’re going to try and come from the inside they never do so you have to put a practice station down there that forces you to come from the inside I’ve got a very simple one here I’ve got a
Ball on the ground I’ve got a head cover and I’ve got it just set just outside the golf ball now if I get over the top I’m going to smash that head cover so right there it’s going to let me know when whether I got over the top but it’s
Also going to give me the real feel of what it feels like to come at that ball from the inside here’s another practice station that you can do for a slice and matter of fact I just did a video on this one back about a week or
So ago you can go back and look at it about how to fix a slice take an alignment stick put it in the ground back here behind your golf ball at the angle that the shaft is coming out of the ground and then stand in here and make swings underneath of this
Sha that’s going to give you the real feel of what it’s like to come at that ball from the inside and to quit coming over the top so we need to use practice stations in order to develop the real feel of what should be happening in the golf swing another very simple practice
Station that I’ve used multiple times in videos to give you the true feel of what’s happening and this is the idea of that we need to hit the ball first in the ground we need to compress the ball we need to have shaft lean okay all of
Those things people are all the time trying to do it and I watch them back here you know they’re back there rehearsing and doing all that stuff then they actually hit the shot and they don’t get the job done they don’t have shaftan they’re not hitting down on the ball
But yet they’re just standing down there hitting golf balls okay use a practice station so that you know whether you’re hitting down on the ball properly or not this one is very simple I just have a towel fold it up I have it on the ground about a grips length behind the behind
The golf ball and I’m just going to stand in here and hit golf balls missing that towel now if my club head gets released too early I’m going to hit that towel if my club’s going to reach the low point of its swing behind the golf ball my club is probably going
To hit that towel so here is another situation where a practice station very simple can give you the true feel of what’s going on now with the advances in technology there are all kinds of gadgets out there that all are about getting you the golf to get in the
Proper position and to let you know whether you are doing making a correct golf swing or not and here’s a new one that I’ve gotten it’s called hack motion okay I’m just in the process of playing with it but this is a device that records and detects every single motion
Of your lead wrist so we were just talking about compression hitting down on the golf ball well the towel is very simple and easy to use but if you really want to know what’s going on in your left wrist you might have to get something that tells you
What’s going on in your left wrist and that’s what this does uses Bluetooth it connects to an iPad all of that stuff and on every single shot it tells me what my left wrist look like at impact it tells me what my left wrist look like
At the top of the back swing so if you’re struggling with controlling your Club face that lead wrist us righty at left wrist lefties right wrist that’s what’s in control of the club face so if you’re worried about controlling that club face you may need to use some
Technology because if you can’t again quantify what’s actually going on in your wrist or in your Club face you’re leaving it up to your brain to just make some guess doing analysis of what it thinks might be happening in the Gosling now let me show you on the iPad what I’m
Talking about with how this hack motion collects data from what my wrist is doing here’s a simple demonstration about what the hack motion does if you can look up here at the top of the iPad this is what my wrist is actually doing right now so if you get
Your wrist into an extension which is a bent wrist it quantifies it if you have too much flexion which we always call bowing your wrist it will show you what’s going on in the wrist this was me goofing around yesterday it hit seven shots it shows each
Shot what you did you can go look at each shot that’s what I look like at a dress that’s what I look like at the top of the back swing that’s what I look like it impact so pretty cool data and what we were talking about it you know
This quantifies exactly what I was doing so I was no guessing there’s no feel workor there’s nothing it this is the truth truth so if you’re a golfer and you’re really interested in proving your golf swing and improving your golf game you better understand the term or the
Saying feel is not real because if you’re out there and you’re relying on your brain to tell you what’s going on in your golf swing you’re fighting a losing battle okay do something to to to be able to real istically look at your golf swing and see what’s going on okay
I showed you several examples here from the phone to a towel to a alignment stick up to high technology with the hack motion on my on my left wrist same holds true in short game as well you have to know what’s going on in your pitching stroke you have to know what’s
Going on in your putting stroke well I hope this video is going to help y’all that are out there trying to improve to practice better to get better results from your practice um doing things smart is so much better than just out there randomly going through the
Motions well I want to thank you so much for coming in and watching this video I hope it really imp helps you to improve your golf game uh and one last time do me a favor hit that subscribe button give me a thumbs up I’d really
Appreciate it and hey let me know where you’re watching this video from I love to hear from all the different areas where people are watching well yall have a great day and good luck on some good golfing in 2024
