Hello ladies and gentlemen my name is Jimmy I’m with tropican golf and this is an emergency video yesterday I made a video about the importance of the swing and the ease of the swing I received about 45 comments asking me what do you feel at impact and what I responded to them was

Absolutely mindblowing because it made me realize what what I feel at the most important position in golf stick around I’m going to share it with you so that you can get to that position okay so it was it was across the boards Jimmy what do you feel at

Impact how do I get that perfect impact position you ready for this what I feel at impact I have no idea I have no clue because I don’t focus on impact if you are focusing on impact that means all your energy that you are taking during the golf swing is just stopping

Here because that’s where you’re focused it’s the same thing as if I were to tell a boxer I want you to feel this at impact okay so you get here and then well that’s not a good punch this is a good punch there should be no feeling at impact impact should just be

A result of a good swing if you focus on one Dynamic of the swing of any position it’s not going to work out think about that if you think about one specific position your whole goal is going to be to get to that position your mind your

Body it’s going to focus on that one position and from there you can’t do anything you have to think of the golf swing as a whole there is no acceleration there is no deceleration it’s just a back and forth movement that doesn’t ever end it will end eventually

Because your body will stop it but you don’t want to stop it or focus on one thing during the swing and that should be even easier than focusing on a position because now you’re thinking about less you’re just thinking about swinging and going imagine that now you don’t have to

Focus on the intricacies of it there are different positions I’m not disagreeing with that but I think that if you and myself focus on one of those positions it’s a disaster for everything else so when you play next or when you hit Balls next I want you to focus on the complete

Swing do not try to hit the ball it is a golf swing not a golf hit if you focus on hitting well that’s why you’re over the top and slicing in the whole bit because you’re focused on hitting an object if there’s no object there and you

Swing it’s a great swing because you’re not focusing on an object now like I always do I’m going to play a couple holes and I’m going to show you what I think and what I feel and show you that it works so we’re going to start

Here this is a long par five now it’s a dog leg left my ability to hit a driver and draw it I don’t want to do that I’d rather just hit an iron and hit it to the Fairway and then go and hit it again so

Here’s what I’m going to do we’re going to play this and I want you to focus on the non hitting of the ball I’m just swinging a golf club I’m just swinging a golf club and the ball gets in the way that’s it don’t think of anything else

So what do I do I take a practice swing and then I step up and I do it again there just happens to be a ball there ready good that’s great it’s on the right side nothing wrong with that the whole goes left so you want to be on that side

Probably should have explained that the dog leg left you want to be on the right side so you have a good angle so I aimed at the palm trees and I hit it six feet right of the palm trees so let’s go let’s do it again we’re going to drive down there we’re

Going to find our ball we’re going to play it and I’m going to show you how important it is to swing through the ball do not worry about impact just swing swing don’t um brace for impact that’s what a lot of people do they get so worried about that position

That they start slowing down or accelerating either one some people slow down and brace for con impact they’re like that that or some people speed up for impact you can’t do either you have to just keep it going the same speed um are we having issues here finding my

Ball oh there it is wow it’s on the cart path I hammered it look at it so that went really far now here’s a scenario we have a dog take it easy okay there’s the ball now I can go on this side and I have these

Trees or I can go on this side and I have that tree what makes more sense to you well to me obviously actually look I can drop it right there and have a clean shot so let’s do that so we’re going to pick it up and we’re going to drop right here

Boom ball is dropped ball is in play I will be hitting my second shot now I have a long way to go so I’m going to take that same club that same three iron and I’m going to hit a shot hopefully hopefully like down in here just a little low punch Punchy

Something now just because the swing is abbreviated cu this is a punch shot does not mean that I slow down or do anything different I just hit just through the ball through the ball not at the ball so through I’m just swinging boom and through the ball is just there it’s just

There that’s great that thing runs down that thing’s going to go 170 yards never got more than three feet off the ground why because I’m not bracing for impact I’m just swinging I want you to try this I really really do think it’s going to help you everybody’s so worried about the

Positions and when you worry about a position that’s all you focus on that’s what your mind and your body are thinking I have to do this task you’re giving it a task and the golf swing is not one task it’s a series of tasks that need to be

Completed all together in order for it to work okay here’s my ball I’m 100 and there’s the 150 so I’m a little less than that the pins in the front so what do I have 40 let’s call it 140 now it’s cold it’s morning I’m not fully warmed up I’m

Going to hit a pitching wedge and if I leave it short I’m okay with that the pin is in the front so listen to this ready the pin is in the front I don’t want to go use my finger there uh I don’t want to go past the

Flag so I take a club that if I hit it well will get to the green get to the flag but no no further and if I hit it whatever it’s short of it I don’t want to go past it so it’s like having a limit on your credit card

$5,000 you can’t go past 5,000 so I’m going to spend the 5,000 I I know I can’t go past it so I take a regular swing remember no bracing for impact just hit the ball just hit the ball there’s no ball there there’s no ball here there’s no ball here just hitting

I’m just swinging oh my God that is so good oh my oh my boys and girls please pay attention to this I need you to realize that um that was not a very good field job I need you to realize that it is of utmost importance that you put a swing on a

Ball that is not for the intention of hitting the ball is that weird your practice swings are so good so good and the swing you use to hold the ball not so because you are hitting the ball get that phrase and that notion out of your mind do not hit the ball swing

The club write that down write that down put it on a piece of paper stick it in your pocket and when you’re playing this weekend or this week look at it say Do not hit the ball swing the club that is mindblowing look at my bowl six-footer uphill for birdie six-footer uphill for

Birdie never hit the ball just swung the club all right now how do we address this is this the same is putting the same do I hit the ball n you don’t you don’t hit the ball always fix your pitch mark um you don’t hit the ball you don’t hit

The ball anywhere it’s called hitting the ball but it’s a swinging motion swinging motion that where something just gets in the way if you are hitting a flag stick or a rake or a box you’re just swinging and there’s an object in the way put that into your

Mind put that into your mind all right what do we have 8 10 12 feet something like that uphill left to right this is a birdie putt the only thing I don’t want to do the only thing I don’t want to do hit it past don’t care if I don’t make

Birdie I want to make sure I don’t make that’s it okay right to left up down make sure I don’t hit it past the hole make sure I don’t hit it past the hole I didn’t make birdie I have a tap in par now the ball goes up here the ball goes right

There now I have a downhill putt that’s going to break for part you know how tempting that is to like oh I’m going to play the break oh I got to make sure I don’t hit it hard oh my God I missed it I I I tried

To make that I tried to make that and I missed it you see what I mean so this putt anybody can make this but cuz it’s just straight up the hill so I know you want to make birdies I love making birdies I hate making double Bogies

Bogies are all right I hate making double Bogies so get yourself to a position where you have tapin and if that means missing a birdie I know a lot of you like I want to score come on man everybody wants a score but not at the cost of high

Risk okay so this was just an emergency video that I thought you needed to see I’m going to break it down for you one more time as to what I think and what I feel let me see how the lighting is here not great but we’re going to try

Something here I want you to Envision this next time you’re out this is a golf club there can be any object here I want you to swing the club and pretend it’s not there that’s it swing the golf club and pretend there’s nothing in it swing the golf club

And pretend there’s nothing there I guarantee you your ball striking is going to improve weird as it seems when you’re not focused on an individual task in a big series of events it’s going to work out better for you like always thank you for watching and I hope this helps see you
