When I was a young boy (1950's), I learned to play golf by closely watching the best players at the course I grew up on. I would then stand in front of a window and copy their swings... then I would go to the practice area to ingrain that look and new feeling to muscle memory. That WAS and STILL IS a great way to learn! It's called SELF-DISCOVERY!
When you discover a helpful motion or thought ALL BY YOURSELF, YOU WILL NEVER FORGET IT! - I never have!
At the age of 78, I'm still a mid single-digit player. My goal with this UA-cam channel is to provide a platform for TEACHING and LEARNING! I will provide videos and detailed descriptions of the finest golfers in the world, their swings and some of their finest shots so YOU can learn and improve as I have.
The focus here is geared toward TEACHING and LEARNING the short game (putting, chipping, pitching and wedge play from 120-yards in), but you will also see some of the finest, Tour-Proven full swings and descriptions as well.⛳️

Annika Sörenstam and Henrik Stenson / Perfect 9 to 3 Drill Demonstration 👍👍
EVERYONE needs to learn how to hit balls in this fashion! This may be THE "Gateway" drill for elevating your game to the next level! - You'll need to FEEL like your arms remain straight and the wrists remain firm from horizontal (9:00) to horizontal (3:00)...
The "9 to 3 Drill" is especially helpful for those people who overswing and/or for those where the trail elbow bends more than 90° during the backswing.
A person CAN build a GREAT swing by simply ingraining great fundamentals and hitting NOTHING but 9 to 3 shots for an extended period of time. Once you get good from 9 to 3, it's then NO big deal to wind it up a bit more so that you've got a bit more to let go of. Next thing ya' know, “villá," a full swing" and a dam good one to boot. THEN you can hit the weights/drills to learn to "create speed" the correct way (through rotation) and after a couple of years you've got a championship caliber golf swing. It all depends on your personal initiative, drive and dedication to learn...

EVERY SERIOUS golfer needs this shot !!! For those situations when you absolutely need to hit your ball into the fairway, it can be extremely valuable to have a plan for success. You'll need a “Go-To” shot off the tee. You need something you can turn to when your swing isn’t feeling great, or the pressure ticks up a notch, but you know will go in the fairway anyway. Here’s a few ideas you can t...

A.) Extremely Stable Stance - Kisner’s feet are about shoulder-width apart, and his stance features a good amount of knee flex.

It’s an important factor that is often overlooked by pros and amateurs alike. If you were to put someone on a really d...

If you are looking for a textbook illustration for how to stand to a golf ball with a putter in your hand, Jordan Spieth is your man. This is the cornerstone of Jordan Spieth's incredible putting technique. He is perfectly square with his feet alignment matching his clubface. The ball is a fraction ahead of centre in his stance and this helps him strike the ball slightly on the upswing, to get ...

When Finau switched to the new putter at The Open Championship, he also opted to switch back to using a conventional grip as opposed to left-hand low. He’d putted conventional at various points throughout his career, but with the new putter in the bag, he was able to make a setup tweak that changed everything. Before switching to the Anser 2D, Finau tended to use an excessive amount of forward ...

The 1960s were filled with some great players like Nicklaus, Player, Palmer and also Tony Lema. It was the era of the beginnings of the modern golf swing where the players used their body more than their arms and hands as they did in the past. Lema won the 1964 British Open only after he overcame his temper and anger issues. From what I have heard, Lema never wanted to be a millionaire, but he ...
Jon Rahm #1 Driver in the World (Golf Swing) Extreme Slow-Motion
Переглядів 4,2 тис.Рік тому
His swing is short largely because of Rahm being born with a club right foot, as he revealed in a recent interview. This limits his range of motion, which is why his swing is naturally MUCH shorter than most. Instead of trying to lengthen his swing arc, Rahm worked on perfecting his homegrown swing, tailoring his move to his unique body. Lesson: Don’t chase an ideal of what YOUR swing should lo...

- A 30- or 40-yard pitch shot occupies an awkward middle ground for a lot of players, literally and figuratively. You have a variety of choices in terms of trajectory, and this can be confusing. You're hitting the ball in the air more than you would for a chip, but you don't use a full swing. That can produce mismatched swing mechanics. - Many players intuitively understand that they need less ...

Tiger Woods short game improved tremendously when he added more clubs to his chipping options. He's had particular success with a 4-iron on those long chips where you just want to land the ball on the green or in this case the extremely fast fairways at St. Andrews and let it roll out. He used that shot a few times in the British Open at Hoylake (2006) to get the ball on the ground quickly on t...
Hahahaha, the guys who are hacks know how to fix it, hahahaha. America is funny
Ghetto bootie
hey RYR, are you sure they are not using pitching techniques here? chipping is more a lower-case letter "y" finish and they are throwing the clubhead past the hands here.
Yipping SHORT wedge shots of any length or nature are always grouped together as "chipping yips". Cheers!🙂
I am convinced you can't learn the golf swing from words . You are better off watching great swings on mute.
That's pretty much how I learned to play golf. When I was a kid, I watched the best players at my fathers club and tried to mimic their swings looking into the window of the pro shop, which provided a nice mirror. I wished I had access to all the great instructors here on UA-cam when I was a 9-year-old back in 1955.
I'm 6'2" with an 80 inch wingspan. Yep, it's been measured several times. I appreciate vids of taller players with long arms and how they swing.
👏👍
👍👏
The pop old pop stroke was good for the bubbly uneven greens (or sand or tar greens) of yesteryear. Ironically if you used what he is preaching here on Bobby's own "bikini wax" greens today, your putt would end up Rae's creek.
Jones says that when putting up north on bent greens for the first time, he did in fact putt off the green into a creek. Of course it was a practice round. Read about it in Down the Fairway, really a great book.
So positive, decisive through the ball (regardless of method)
The side-on slow-mo is borderline *freakish*. Love how you can see the whole upper-body rotating through the motion to generate power and then the head is just DEAD still. Amazing.
Yeah, this was an amazing piece of footage! It's a shame they don't use these high-speed cameras anymore.
Still a narrow minded lazy dude
Brandel is the biggest idiot in golf
His left foot is pretty open, his swing is effortless, so smooth.. oh now they are talking about ‘flaring’ the lead foot… I’m 38 and in good shape but I’m not very flexible. Just how my body was built. Maybe I should try that
You're certainly not old at 38, but anyone struggling with flexibility issues should consider opening up their lead foot...
In a ideal world you would stay down through the ball so you don't peek up and leave the blade open, the blade needs to close through the ball; looking up through anxiety results in the baby weak putts where the blade is open (Rory on 18 2024 US OPEN or Doug Sanders in the Open here: ua-cam.com/video/rmts92cXMD4/v-deo.htmlsi=hLrx9tbSYZXlyGQc ), but you don't want it to interrupt your stroke as Fax was saying. Tiger Woods did this well as did Nick Faldo - just to name a few great Majors Champions. And: 1. 4 time Open Champion, 15 time PGA Tour winner, 90+ Professional Wins and one of the greatest ever putters, Bobby Locke, always stayed down; he says when I look up I miss so he used to "hit and listen" "why would I want to look up and see a missed putt"; tough to argue with. 2. In one of his US Open victories Gary Player (South African like Bobby Locke) dedicated himself to not watching any short putts (stay down), and he won and missed nothing short that week. 3. Payne Stewart's wife commented that he was looking up too early in the 3d round of his US Open (she watched on T.V.). This was something he would work on and a something his late Father told his wife to watch and take care of after he passed. I watched his victory last night again - via the "One Moment in Time" 1999 US Open video) recent take on victory and you can clearly see him: a) in a super calm zen like state; something to behold b) his head down well through the ball c) putting superbly to win his third major. See it here (includes his wife's comments about the head) ua-cam.com/video/VMCZyTw8-ao/v-deo.htmlsi=vcNtPMtY_DDGxHiG I call it an anchor. You don't have to specifically think about your head to keep it from rising, you could "hit and listen" as Locke said, you could see what is under the ball as Faldo did or think about the path as you putt (I do this)
The only thing that stunned Brandel, was the title of this video...
Haters love to hate, I guess... ??? golf.com/news/ive-never-seen-do-that-tiger-woods-trick-stumps/
Why did he not qualify for the US Open with that game?
This video Only shows he has amazing power...
Saw him at the open in kent in about 1987 ish. His swing has not changed. So fluid and smooth.
If i had a facility to practice short game I'd live there
Before taking the plunge, wait for mortgage interest rates to come down...
Beautiful swing but that's not what you need to win tournaments.
IYO, what does it take to win tournaments?
@@RollYourRock Like Tiger Woods once said, professional golf is not about how good the good shots are but how good the bad shots are.
@@barbedfinger Yup, it's a game of misses!
This must have been 10 years ago
Less than five.
My back swing is super similar to his. Can't quite get the down swing right. Maybe one day 😂
Are you slim, 6'4" tall and a 6'8" wingspan?
@@RollYourRock I'm 6'1, slim and pretty long wingspan. Idk how long wingspan is
@@Foli24 Okay... Kuch, has a real good pattern for hitting the ball straight, but not so good for length.
Underwhelming tbh
I started golf with disc prolapse already bothering me. I developed a vertical swing cos that was less painful.
Well... ya do whatcha gotta do to stay in the game.👍👍
This stinks!
???
Of course the putter gets behind his hands ,even poor putters do that
Mark, when Chamblee says "behind his hands", do you know what he's referring to?
@@RollYourRock back in a straight line behind the hands ?
@@markodoherty2939 He's talking about creating an angle between the lead forearm and the shaft early in the backswing.
God bless thanks 😊
God bless you too, my friend...
Shoulders pulling and getting stuck is the exact feeling I’m having. Anyone have a good drill to exaggerate the faster arms feeling?? 0:13

That is the most stunning moment of my life.
Great video and information. Are there other avenues to see some of Jimmy’s instructional videos? I tried looking for a website of his and it seems to not be active. Thanks and keep up the great work !
Try searching Amazon and eBay for "Jimmy Ballard golf." - If I remember correctly, the videos he produced were all VHS. - Jimmy's one and only book is excellent and has everything in it that he teaches.
@@RollYourRock Thank you for the reply and I subscribed to your channel. Appreciate it and wondered if you worked with Jimmy in any capacity by chance?
@@bjmgolf3651 Sadly, no. - I'm located in the opposite corner of the US. from Jimmy.
Looks way less effortless in slowmo, which I guess is a testament to the swings beauty in regular-mo. 😂
This allows the upper spine to rotate better, some people lock it and severly restricting the backswing
Of course! - You are pre-turning the cervical spine. Have a great season!⛳
Best part was watching his kid practice putts while he was having fun talking with the photographer. Tiger has way cooler tricks than that… good clip.
Agreed. - Did you happen to recognize that photographer in the dark blue Nike t-shirt?
Nope… who bro?
@@XChaddyG123X Jr Griffey - Yeah, he's put on a few.
I feel exactly the same thing. I need to feel motion....esp before putting. If I'm frozen, I often lose the real sensitive touch needed to putt. I often have a very slight sway motion....and especially on the shortest most sensitive putts....that you can botch up, simply with a bad twitch when hitting the ball. Need to feel flow.
It's all about doing what you can repeat. - Watch out for those "twitches"
God Bless you sir. Best videos around
God bless you too, my friend and thanks for the kind words! - Wishing you a great season... ⛳ *Pay special attention to Xanders strong right hand grip.
This isn't the first time Tiger's had his balls spun, amirite?
Tiger has been putting his dick in a lot of skanky white hoes! 😂
Rory doesn't have this anymore, had to change it toextend his longevity
Yeah, the poor guy can barely hit it out of his shadow!
I absolutely LOVE his backswing... but i think his follow through was hideous lol. Whatever works though!
Thanks for watching!👍👍
Idk. It’s weird the wear the same outfits
Pretty easy for me to understand a Son wanting to be like his Dad. Only natural, don't you think?

seems Tiger can afford to buy another towel, to be used just for his face only ..........

The crowd left speechless
Who else was focused on the Tiger impersonator first time around ?
You got me!😉
If you have four fingers and a thumb, yes quite amazing indeed 🙄
We'll wait for the video...
Tiger was juggling golf balls on his irons and wedges like 30 years ago… Doesn’t surprise me that he’s got some tricks most people are not used to seeing. Absolute legend.
Probably more like 40 years ago, but I agree with your point of you.👍
The wrist “roll” to the inside really helps me.
Me too...
seriously.... most 12-year-olds know how to do that and do....
Point us to the video...
