Most golfers are working incredibly hard on the wrong part of their golf swing — and it’s the main reason they struggle with ball striking, consistency, and direction.
In this video, I break down one of the most misunderstood positions in the golf swing: the delivery position. It’s the moment just before impact that largely determines club path, strike, and shot shape, yet it’s something most golfers have never been shown properly.
Using real examples from the best players in the world, I’ll show you what elite ball strikers actually look like at delivery — and why trying to “fix” your swing the way most golfers do often makes things worse, not better.
You’ll learn:
Why most golfers are trying to do the opposite of what good players do
What the correct delivery position really looks like
How this position influences club path, strike quality, and accuracy
A simple way to assess your own swing and start improving immediately
If you struggle with inconsistent contact, big misses, or unreliable direction, this video will change how you think about the golf swing.

Excellent – I think I know, but in the takeaway why do you not quickly get into that delivery position with hands out?
Is it because for example it would flip the club on the inside – would love to see a short on explaining the difference and why 🙏🏌🏼♂️
Tell that to Bryson who says to pull hands down to pocket to swing inside hit draw
The AMG and gears info says the trail elbow doesn't get in front of the hip in a tour swing like that.
