Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
Can you talk about your grip? My lead hand tends to get too strong causing me to feel like I have to come across the line hitting a pull fade.
More excellent teaching, Peter. Thank you. The magic of connection (sequencing) and leverage. I'm 70 years old and have played golf since I was a child. Your approach and communication are the clearest and most sensible I've seen in all those years.
I look upto your swing Peter, so smooth and it always looks just effortless !! You make it look so easy but you also show us how easy it can be for us higher handicappers to achieve as long as we listen, watch, learn and practise. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put in to help all of us out I definitely appreciate it and so does my scorecard 👍
So go slower to go faster, ehm.
Does this require the left hip to feel like it pushes forward and up, without "humping the goat" as a great man once said. How can we train ourselves to get the correct feeling?
Thank you once again! Sam Casey, one of your viewers, asked about your grip. I’ve heard you mention 2 1/2 knuckles. What about grip pressure? For example, is the grip pressure increased when hitting surfaces that would tend to upset or influence the club head, i.e., hard pan, thick grass, or dense sand? How to determine correct grip pressure for various conditions? Thanks again, Peter!
Great video pete
But what if the golfer who’s swing you admire is Kyle Berkshire? 😂
I did this once…
…accidentally.😂
Great stuff Pete, I just shot my first 9 hole round under par and the majority of my swing base has been from you! I can not thank you enough for the stuff you put out has really helped since getting back in the game. It was 4 under through 9!
Beautifully demonstrated. I also watch and emulate some of the LPGA tour pros as well. Their swing dynamics are excellent.
Love that tempo Pete – something for us mortals to aspire to…
Love it. I've been playing golf for a couple years now and my biggest struggle is "attacking" the ball from the top of my back swing. It's such a hard habit to break for me. My best ball striking days I always feel a smooth rhythm and I feel like my arms are trailing behind my body as I make my downswing. I'll keep working and practicing until I make that the norm. Cheers mate
One area I struggle is weight shift with the driver while maintaining spine angle.
Couples is a great one to model your swing after. Always admired it
Fantastic! Now teach Rick shiels this. The boy is going to hurt something. Great video as usual
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your short concise teaching videos. Todays was exceptional. I think the term buttery smooth goes along way. When your trying to make changes, it can be difficult because we are trying to force the change. When you hit it correct it feels like no effort at all. (buttery smooth) And the phrase to ALLOW your left heel to lift off the ground was an excellent way to phrase it. Trying to do that in the past I've found myself forcibly trying to lift it, instead of ALLOWING it to lift. The bell went off in my head, makes for an easier backswing and a much smoother transition. Just tried it in the backyard, what difference, can't wait to try it tomorrow. If I could be half as smooth as you, I feel I would have accomplished a lot. Thanks again.
Apart from tempo I also like your backswing. It seems only a 3/4 backswing (compared to Rory for instance) , but still you manage to get high speed. a 3/4 backswing also makes it easier to find the middle of the club face I guess? which is paramount for good distance… I think I loose control because I go too far far back
You've done all the work Pete, I'll just watch this for your tempo.
Raphael Jaqueline. Under rated swing, smoother than a cashmere codpiece.
My current swing thought/feeling is swing like Peter Finch. And I am genuinely not trying to blow smoke up your arse 😂 my swing probably looks nothing like yours, but it feels that way lol
This is something I’ve been trying to figure out recently and have been struggling with. I’ll have brief little moments where it seems like it clicks, and I’ll feel like I got my hips and torso turning and it feels like I’m moving more slowly, but the club head whips through and hits it further than I normally do. But then after that brief moment that it seems like I had it, it’s gone and I go back to firing my arms and coming over the top and pulling. I’m guessing I haven’t figured out the right thing to focus on to get the proper sequence, so each time I might be trying to do something different, hence the inconsistent results. Think it might be time for a few lessons…
I have always tried to emulate Fred Couples. From time to time I'll get a comment from my buds that that was smooth. Doing it all the time is so hard, but I keep trying to repeat it. Very nice tip Pete.
This is great advice. For a long time I was really struggling with my swing because I kept trying to throw my hands forward through the ball. Once I decided to try and slow down and not force it, and just let my hands naturally trail through, it made such a huge difference.
Worked on these tips today on the range, then went out and played 18. Hit my irons the best I have all year. Thank you, Pete!
Loved this video definitely working on this. Thanks you!
Very helpful. Thank you !
