Hello ladies and gentlemen my name is Jimmy I’m with tropican golf I just got back to LA from Orlando we had a marvelous time but on that trip I watched about 5,000 amateur golf swings I learned so much and I came up with a way that any amateur anywhere can swing

A golf club effortlessly effortlessly every single time and make great contact I’m going to share it with you right after this okay so like I was saying we just got back from Orlando the Tropicana Golf Club Orlando chapter had a golf tournament so we had people out there

Playing we went we saw them beautiful place beautiful Golf Course great time I watched a lot of golf swings I learned a lot the second day we went to the NFL skills challenge and let me tell you these are professional athletes professional athletes the best in the world and they

Couldn’t swing a golf club no idea how I saw so much and I learned so much so quickly I thought there’s got to be a way that we can show these guys how to swing a golf club without a bunch of different shallow and this and the other and this is what I

Learned 97% of them made one of these two mistakes they get to the ball they turn back the first group go here that’s death the club’s way behind you now you have to stand up and flip it okay so they get here and then drop it

The second ones go here and they go this way clubs way out here let me show you down the line some of them turn back and then drop look at this club terrible they’ve stood up now they flipped the ball the second go here back swing and they

Turn terrible now how can I tell them you’re doing it wrong well what can I say that would make it easier here’s what I came up with I’m going to show you something you can do this instead of your practice swing that’s how good this

Is you can do it on the course you can you can do it at home you can do it right before you hit the ball it’s great here’s what I came up with take the grip point it at your target there’s the ball point it at the Target

Turn Point the butt end of the grip at the ball now from here all you’re doing is taking this grip and pointing it behind you that’s it want to see it again boom boom now if you were doing it the other way how would it look

Boom where’s it pointing at the sky or if you’re over the top where’s it pointing at the ground you need to point it directly behind you see that so it’s pointing down and it turns I don’t know I guess that’s 90° it’s the opposite it’s the opposite of down is up that’s

It do that over and over and over before every single shot get to the ball turn and turn it behind you I’m going to play a couple holes here hi Jose how are you my friend good morning I’m uh doing a little a little lesson okay you want to learn too you

Want to learn very sex very sexy very wow okay this is a little par three up the hill very professional up the hill now I’m going to show you the routine I want you to try this it doesn’t take any more time than your practiceing put the ball on the

Ground line it up okay that’s where I want to hit it turn back point the grip at the ball now point it behind you it doesn’t have to be violent it’s just back and through back and through back and through I’ve done it three times my

Body knows what to do now I step up and do the same exact thing you like that Jose that is very wellow that’s all I thought about I’ve I’ve I’ve stopped about this and this and this it’s just boom boom if you can’t do that go home

Be at home and practice this slowly until you loosen up those muscles everybody can do this I don’t care if you’re flexible or not the thing that you’re doing let me let me take this because I feel like I’m directly in the sun let’s go the other way with it the

Thing that you’re doing is staying in posture see this you’re still in posture here you’re still in posture whereas here you’ve stood up you’ve lost the posture there’s a if you’re in a room with a very low roof you stay here w w not now I hit my head on the

Roof now I hit my head on the roof boom boom that’s it I’m going to play these holes I’m going to show you that you can literally do this before you hit the ball the more you do it I mean if you do it 10,000 times you probably have

To stop doing it on the golf course cuz your body will know what to do but as you’re learning it yeah do it do it on the golf course do it three times step up and do it again don’t worry about anything else I would suggest going home or being at home filming

Yourself from from behind doing it see what it looks like see if you’re maintaining the posture see where the grip is on your follow through and see if if it looks like it’s supposed to and if you can do it and make it look good then just

Practice that over and over and over again and I promise you you’ll come out here and it’ll just be second nature look where my ball is at can you see it there it is from 10 and I don’t know 90 yards that’s a great shot I don’t

Even know what club I hit I think I hit a six iron I hit a six iron but I hit it so well because I’m not focused on anything except getting through the ball getting through the ball I think I just whacked the camera with my club no we’re

Good okay okay it’s not so much a putting day today so I don’t want to focus too much on that I’m just focused on hitting the ball another thing I learned I’m going to get into putting real quick when people putt the ball they don’t have the idea of the ball doing

This this is how your ball’s supposed to roll end over end not like this end over end when you throw a football it’s spirals it’s end over end this way get that in your mind get that in your mind that you want the ball rolling end over end forget about everything

Else see if you can get the end overend roll I’m just going to get here I’m not doing too much all I’m doing is keeping my head down and envisioning that end overend roll let’s see what happens it rolls pure and almost goes in a nice little

Tap happen I’m still going to Envision that end over end okay good three let’s go on to a par five where I can hit the ball and show you what I mean more about this shoulder plane that’s what this is called shoulder plane you want that right shoulder going down and the left

Shoulder going back this is easy for me to think about it’s easy for me to comprehend there’s not a lot of technicalities I’m not a technical guy I’m a feel guy so this makes it easy for me to feel one thing if I can feel one thing and hit

The ball well that’s awesome it’s a way easier than going okay you need to shallow you need to rotate you need to hinge you need to plant like what I don’t know I I don’t know how to do all that especially in the one second of a

Golf swing trust me let’s get a driver going there my 69 driver got a 69 driver and a 69 wedge how awesome is that okay long par five up the hill so here we go we’re going to set up on the right side

Of the T box so you can see a little bit better as to what I’m talking about okay here we go te the ball up now you got to do this got to do this line up where do you want to hit I want to hit it to that tree so I line

The butt of the club up to the tree okay cool I turn it back to the ball now the club needs to go back this way now turn it here turn it back turn it here turn it back turn it here turn it back I did

It three times very slow I’m going to step up do it again I pulled it a little bit it’s okay it’s just left and you know whatever but the ball was hit well little offline I may have pointed with my shoulders a little bit too far left but I hit it

Okay so let’s go see what we can do let’s see if we can have another full shot in and uh play from there you’re not going to hit perfect shots ever no matter what you do unless you have a a robot doing it for you there’s going

To be human air always but the consistency is higher if you do it this way so let’s go see what we did how we did I’m on the left side a little bit I uh it didn’t fade I was playing for a fade and it didn’t fade so

Whatever it’s just fine I’m going to have to hit it under a tree which okay could be worse um I still have have a long way to go up the hill so now I have to play smart Okay Ball’s right there you see it’s on the left side

Rough I have you know quite a bit of distance I’m going to punch a three iron and try to save my try to save now technically I could probably hit it over that tree right there in front but let’s try to um let’s try to thread one let’s try to

Thread one there okay now this is not a highrisk shot if you do it like this now if you swing as hard as you can yeah it’s it’s not going to work out well but if you start it there and you turn back and you bring it back and you play it in

The back of your stance and you do it at 70% it’s not a high-risk shot you can do it so here we go I point where I want to hit it turn back turn through turn back turn through one more time back through now I just hit it I do this at 50%

Because there’s a lot of trouble up there balls back in my stance turn and turn yes sir got out that was very easy swing and all I did was just the shoulder turn now there’s probably a million things that go into that hitting that kind of

Shot you got to superate at contact or impact you have to keep your hands low R ball will go high there’s a million things but all I focused on was the shoulder turn and it worked out so I’m back in the middle of the Fairway I have

A shot in it’s a par five I probably have 150 yards if that let’s see show you the hole here you can see I have less than 150 to a red flag perfect a little little uh motivation I’ll tell you what there’s no coffee like black coffee if you don’t

Drink black coffee then you don’t really like coffee you like the creamer anyway there’s 150 I’m 140 up the hill let’s hit for the sake of this because it’s a front flag I’m going to hit a 50° wedge okay I know what you’re thinking Jimmy this isn’t enough

Club I want to be just short I don’t want to be long I want to just be short and I don’t want to have to like come down that hill so if it’s 5T off the green it’s 5T off the green ready here we go point the grip where you want to

Hit it now I right now and am aimed left of the flag I’m aimed at the middle tree why I don’t know I feel I feel more comfortable if I wanted to aim at the flag I would aim it here but to me that feels very right and there’s not much

Room to miss right so I’m going to aim a little bit left I’m not aiming directly at the flag I’m aiming at the middle tree just yeah at the middle tree now turn back point the butt of the club of the grip at the ball and then point it right behind me one

Two three that’s it that’s all I’m thinking I’m just going to do it again balls back in my stance do it again even that went right stay out of the bunker please that was a bad shot it’s a bad shot what am I going to do I hit it

Okay I just the truth is it was the wrong club and I knew it I was trying to keep it short if I would have hit a pitching wedge or even a nineiron it would have had a little bit more and it would have been on the green but I

Sacrificed that for not going long trying to hit a shot that was short of the green bad judgment flat out bad judgment but listen when one thing goes right the other things go wrong that’s what happens I was aimed correctly the ball was headed towards the flag I just

Didn’t have enough Club what are you going to do so I’m there in the bunker with an absolutely nightmarish nightmare a nightmareish nightmare I have to get it up and down very very quickly so I have a club for that it’s a 69 degree wedge says so

Right there what this allows me to do for a short-sided bunker shot I use it for every bunker shot but for this one in particular I need to get the ball up and down very quickly now am I able to get get once again my cameraman was

Called out sick today all right there we go that’s good you can see the flag now I need to hit what one inch one inch behind the ball I don’t have to hit it very far so I don’t have to swing very hard I just need to go up

And then come straight down one inch behind the ball one inch behind the ball just like this it’s going to go up trickle my club is almost flat it’s 69° I dig my feet in there I draw an imaginary 1in line and I just hit down like I’m chopping a piece

Of wood one in behind the ball oh that almost dunk MJ let’s rake this up so the next guy doesn’t have to stand in my footsteps rake this out let’s clean it up clean up your room and we’re good now guess what you got to make a putt you got to

Make a putt I told you this wasn’t going to be a pop putting but hey we’re putting it’s part of the game so let’s get the full aspect let’s get the full lesson today full lesson let’s put this ball I mean this tripod right here perfect beautiful and let’s pull the

Flag right I feel it with my feet excuse me I feel it with my feet it’s all on this foot what does that mean Ball’s going that way I feel on my foot it’s going that way now Ball’s going that way is it on my toes or my heels it’s flat

That means a flat putt breaking that way okay so it’s going to pick up speed right here and then go in the hole so I line it up to where I want to hit it right here I put it a straight putt end over end over end end over end overend end

How do you do that just mentally think you’re hitting the ball so that it goes end over end not wobbly and wonky let’s get it close make a five if we can if not we move on to another par three with a bogey no harm no foul here we go end

Over end end over end over end and keep your head Down oh my gosh great putt great putt let’s tap it in hey I made a bogey guess what life happens bogey happened let’s go on to the par three another par three another one and let’s see what we can do today’s tip is really all about the shoulder turn the shoulder

Plane the turn the easiest way to do it but you know might why not play a couple holes and show you the full scope of it so like I said we’re in Orlando for the NFL closest to the pin Challenge and the Tropicana tournament so I saw literally 5,000 swings and I’m telling

You I saw the same mistake over and over and over again and I just kept thinking there’s got to be an easy way to tell these people what they’re doing wrong I studied the dynamic I studied my swing what am I doing that they’re not doing and it really just comes down to

That it’s it’s a standing up motion from the top of the back Suite you stand up the club does all kinds of weird things instead of getting through it okay we have a par three to a white flag uh I’m just going to hit something

Solid I’m going to hit a seven iron I don’t know I don’t even know how far it is it’s probably 7 it says 173 from back here to the middle fine whatever I’m going to hit 175 yard shot no I’m not it’s uphill okay listen it

Doesn’t matter I’m going to hit a seven I’m not here for that if it comes up short good I’m not trying to make it whatever I’m just showing you something here we go te the ball up pins on the left Aim to the middle I aim to the middle of the green turn

Back turn forward turn back put that grip behind you put the grip behind you one more time turn to the ball put it behind you that’s it turn to the ball and put it behind you here we go that’s a good look swing and a good look ball and it’s on the

Green it might even be past the green I’m hitting the ball very very very hard which which is you know a seven iron going 100 it’s probably 185 yards right now it’s cold Ball’s not flying but I’m hitting it so well that it’s easy that shoulder Turn Practice it at home and

Practice it slowly please you’re not trying to break through any walls like the uh Kool-Aid guy just do it kind of calmly relaxed smooth learn teach your body how to do it it’s like when you started walking you didn’t get up and start running you fell a million times

Riding your bike you fell a million times then once you got it you got a little faster and a little faster you give somebody a tip I get to the driving range pull your driver try to hit it as hard as they can what are you doing man

Learn it learn it nice and slow until your body goes I know what you’re trying to do okay little by little by little by little and then yeah you gradually pick it up but don’t get out there pick up your driver and roast it no start with a

Pitching wedge start with a a sand wedge hit you know 80 yard shots I know they’re boring trust me I understand it’s a boring it’s a boring shot to hit there’s my ball right there middle of the green pin High feeling of greatness and it was

Just two shoulder turns okay so it works this is big this is really big and I’m really really confident with this and it’s an easy thing to remember now everything else I’ve ever said works also okay and it your body just kind of does it naturally if you do this

Correctly so they go hand in hand so don’t disregard everything else I’ve said just implement this as well all right so I don’t know if you can see but the Earth is over there so this looks like it’s downhill but it’s actually uphill so now you get what’s called my jacuzzi

Treatment my ball is way back here the flag is way up there I’m not going to make this putt and neither are you the only thing you don’t want to do or the only thing you want to do let’s say is get it close you don’t want to three

Putt this you want to get it right in here this big giant Circle your hot tub or your jacuzzi you need to Envision that there is a ja Uzi full of water with six people in there four girls let’s call it just to be fair fun four girls two guys drinking

Miller High Life it’s Friday it’s happy hour take this ball from over there and put it in the jacuzzi without making a splash that’s the key you want it to just kind of settle you don’t want it to just get it in there tap it in everybody’s quiet how you doing good

Good to see you happy Friday let’s go let’s party so here we go I go back to my ball now I figure out how do I get that ball in there into that Jacuzzi end over end I feel it in my hand and I feel

Like I’m just rolling it I feel like I’m just rolling it now I step up and I do the same thing remember it’s end over end over end end over end over end no wobblies okay no wobblies get it in the jacuzzi end over end over over end just

Like that feel the ball going end over end here we go hi I’m here for the jacuzzi party yes you are get in the jacuzzi welcome to the party welcome welcome to a tap in on a very hard hole par three up the hill that’s how it’s done very relaxed very wow very

Easy big big big takeaway big takeaway that shoulders turnt let me show you one more time because I want you to fully understand this okay I want you to fully understand what’s going on here I’m going to set this down I’m going to step back my target is the

Camera I point point my shoulders and the grip of the club at the camera turn to the ball I take this grip and put it behind me do this in your living room a thousand times this fast one two three don’t no teach your body how to work this
