Keep up the good work bud. There are lots of different ways to hit a golf ball straight as you're learning….. The most helpful info I can hand down to you is this; there are 2 different types of swing coaches. One is a swing coach that wants to tear down what you're comfortable with and teach you his swing, as is the case with Milo. The other type of swing coach can see how you move, and fine tune that into a quality golf swing that is repeatable.
Had been looking at a lot of your videos since the concept is something that I really like, I think you could take a break in between classes and interiorize the thoughts and what the coach is trying to explain, otherwise, you could be eating all raw … To be an outstanding golfer you should focus on all aspects, inside the course, and outside, breath management is something essential to shut down all toughs and swing from your muscle memory, once you are comfortable with a coach and a style do not change, you had no strong technique on your bases so it will be easily screwed between all the concepts from different mentors. A lot of gym and extra training outside the course and golf practice every day, 2 times a week golf in the course at least. and focus in the short game, from a short game you will develop a full swing easily, otherwise is doable but the process is longer…
You just need to have one or two swing thoughts when playing or practicing. For instance, full turn on the backswing, pause/transition at the top. Only think of these two swings thoughts only. Try to make your follow through mirror your backswing. If things get out of line, just concentrate on making a good balanced follow through. Good Luck.
Another gold video. Can't wait to see what your future rounds of golf will look like!
You remind me of that Pyscho chick that hears voices…Bro, chill out, mouth closed ears open and just do what he says.
What program do you use to track the ball?
Ur lesson videos have been my favorite thing to watch. I love this coach he's got a lot of patience lol. I miss the old dude Mike tho he's my favorite
This might be hard to phantom especially being analytical but :
YOU ARE PAYING A COACH TO CHANGE AND FIX YOUR SWING.
If you are making changes on your own then what’s the point of a coach. Its counterproductive. It’s almost as you don’t trust them. Just drill the same thing over and over. If you think you got it down do it and repeat it for 8 hours.
Be clay and let your coach mold you.
That coach has so much patience 😂
You have a beautiful swing… 2 1/2 month in… This instructor is brilliant but you seem to not trust him, or the process he is trying to take you through. Perhaps start watching your own videos for repetition 😊 Trust the process! You’re doing brilliantly! And start listening instead of questioning 😘
I want to see more course vlogs man!!!!
Say thanks to Chris for me, I just started golfing heavily this year him and these videos have helped me more than anything else!
You have had so much tuition and so many different positions to get into that your head is completely crowded and you are never going to hit a natural golf swing. At some point you need to take what you've got and then let your mind go blank and just set up and hit it. It will click but take years to get down to scratch. Practice all you want bit on the golf course just don't get your mind crowded or you'll never swing fluidly. Good luck.
The swing looks great, my view on this is that you are not using feel in your swing, you're trying too hard to be perfect instead of feeling the swing. Too many swing thoughts and the need to be in perfect position will destroy your game.
whats a square club face?
Love the way Chris listens to a bunch of patter about the swing and then says, Okay, let me see you hit a few"..Fade the words, practice the correct movements …for example: "Show mw what impact looks like.."…My kind of instructor!!
A true my great channel, everybody has your issues first 1-2 years. It’s like a free lesson every day for your subs
jerome i think of my back of hand facing forward on the take away not facing to ground or to the air check you hand position at 36.26 i find it easier than thinking of club head , but your coach is bringing you on iwell all of a sudden it will click keep up the good work
Jerome, love your golf journey! I’ve had a number of teachers, he is teaching you the right stuff- trust him- and you will be a much better golfer! You have made fantastic improvements in a very short time! Keep going!!!!
Most important take away from this lesson: You're not trying to be the coach. You're doing waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy too much analysis, and not enough just doing what Chris is telling you. It's why he keeps having to reinforce what he's saying. You're losing the feels in that mental spreadsheet you're constantly working on.
Trying just getting out of your head and swinging the club. Easier said than done, I know.
"You don't wanna be a coach…right?" 🤣🤣🤣
The instructor deserves a trophy for the incredible patience!
How long is the 2×4?
That lay down feeling is so hard to achieve and make it consistent
Never seen anyone ever have so many thoughts and questions why 50 different things in the golf swing. You can become way to mechanical Vs trusting him to teach you feels
I love watching your videos!!
I love all your questions, I laughed so hard with the 8000 questions statement.
No matter how much i practice, no matter how good it feels in the practice swing, as soon as i get a ball infront of the club, i just cannot turn.
I havre no idea why, i just CANNOT turn
