Best video in my opinion to explain every step in backswing. You two formed a great team to put the mechanism and drills together. The video is professionally done with two different views, and Tiger’s swing is being used at appropriate times convincingly. Nicely done. I expect the “downswing “ part is even more exciting because that’s where DRIVING happens. Can’t wait to see that!!!

I've watched a ton of golf videos, probably way too many. This one has by far made the biggest impact on my golf game and in particular my driving. Raising may arms higher and facing my back hand up on the back swing has added 10-20 mph swing speed, and 20-25 yards to my driver. Thanks so much for the great video!

Hands down one of the best golf coaches on the planet. By teaching me what it "feels" like as opposed to "try this" he completely changed the game for me. I went from a 19.2 index to a 13.5 after the first three months of lessons with JT. 2 years later and I'm in single digit territory with a 290 yard driver average and 48% FIR (Arccos data). Thanks for everything JT!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This looks so promising to me. I've recently had success by shortening my backswing because I felt I was throwing my power away as I approached the top. Even saying 'top' tells me I was thinking high instead of back with my slinging trail arm. With this video I believe I can now continue to build that power all the way back. I kind of knew I had to do that but didn't know how. That I have a very stretched ribcage and arms now after working through this in my living room is a great sign. :) Eric, I loved how you focused on pausing to explain the pieces and the looks/feels. Very nicely done!

@robrodgersse 7 ай бұрын

While you want width with the right arm, and maybe people who have the club too far toward the target line at the top of the backswing might want to feel the trail arm moving around behind your ribcage, but do you really want the trail arm that far behind your vertical shirt seam or is it just a feeling?

@cluman1 7 ай бұрын

Getting into the slot with the inner arms looking upwards is the magic sauce. For me, a flippy 9 goes approx. 115 yards. When I get into the slot, between 140 to 150. Getting into the slot eliminates over the top and steep swings. I wish I knew this when I first started playing.
