LET'S GO!!! I need major help with my long irons!
I love chris
Your swing is looking nice!! Keep grinding..
Cmon Chris! You didn't tell him about divot sizes and shapes for short vs. long irons yet!! LOL. Golf is hard. Those little mental anchors help to give you a sense of how you should be swinging through the ball and what kind of turf interaction after the ball your are getting. This all depends on lie of course, but assuming a neutral lie, the longest irons have nearly zero divot, like a driver or woods which should have zero divot.
You should have Chris analyze your on course video swings. What he says at 3:42 on this video is what you do on 90% of your swings. Your hands disappear at impact and the finish you have your right arm pointing straight right.
Your fascination of trying to hold your hands ahead of the ball after impact and the timing it takes in that.02 seconds and Chris trying to correct you to do the golfers handshake is amusing
Hi, I think you could lean over from the hips a bit more and try and feel like your back is facing the target as long as possible ,your left shoulder should be higher than your right shoulder instead of spinning square shoulders round before your post impact stay in your spine angle longer.
Let’s go
The ones w Chris are my fave
Nice 10:49 , where do we see the stick drill?
Was surprised with new clubs yesterday. Let the grind begin. Thank you for posting your journey definitely has helped a lot
See?! The hybrid my dude! It will change your world. That’s what stood out on your last video.
Chris looks like he slimmed down a little
When are you going to get fitted?….please record that process
Chris literally explains nothing. What a waste.
Flushing 'em… nice.
Yo you should totally go Single length clubs, then you only need to work 1 swing for all irons including wedges and boom 💥 you would be the only youtuber doing it too would be amazing to watch and 100% you would not only make it work but come out shining and improving very quick
Hi Jerome. Love the journey …. Amazing progress- my only comment is that your approach to your clubs is random compared to scientific approach to everything else – no one uses a 13.5 degree 3 wood and your wood to hybrid need proper gapping – plus now swing is solid you need right shafts… go get fitted and film the process
Looking awesome Jerome. Scratch potential has now been glimpsed.
Bro, you gotta be building heaps of confidence after this lesson! Looks like you're in route to a natural shot shape that you'll be able to trust and work with. And of course be able to later on play all the necessary shots to get you out of trouble etc. Way to go!! Own that swing, trust it!! ALL THE BEST!!
Love the videos but isn't it kinda obvious that hitting off of a mat is going to be so much easier then hitting off grass?
21 degree is probably what his 5 iron is. I'm surprised he didn't say 18 or 19 degree.
Waiting impatiently for the next video to drop 🥲
Post where you’re playing and when. I’m sure tons of local followers would love to get a round in with you
