1:26 - Swing path 5:07 - Club face control 9:00 - Tension in the body 10:26 - Tiger sequence drill

the club face control makes a lot of sense. i've spent thousands of dollars on coaches who keep trying to correct my swing path from outside-in to inside-out and while it's helped, changing the club face and keeping my natural swing path has made golf fun again for me. i'm never going to shoot sub 80 but at least i'm not embarrassing myself on the course anymore trying to incorporate everything from my previous golf lesson. i love how micah just keeps it simple. more of these videos please!

Micha's golf swing is one of my favs. Compact, efficient, and powerful.

The tension drill helped my ball striking and putting. Thank you much

What a great video, some times the fundamentals are what we need to get back to when we go down the rabbit hole of tinkering with our swings. I had been trying to come more from the inside so much that it got out of hand. Getting that path more neutral has gotten my ball striking back to where it was before I started to try and change it.

Thanks for posting the Tiger tip Micah. I've been in a funk with my irons lately. Brought this tip to the range and could feel the transformation. Back to flushing them!!!

YOu know for this guy to not be a golf coach, Micha you're pretty good at explaining golf in easy-to-understand terms. I like your calm easy easy-going style. Keep your videos coming!

This was very well done and informative. Thanks Micah

Bro.. this is literally the best description and example I’ve seen. This really did help me tremendously with on course diagnosis when I’m missing. I’m born and raised in McKinney. We probably know some of the same people. 🤘🏼 Keep doin your thang man! You’re time in the pro light is coming!

Good deal Micah and good video. I’m on a journey to becoming a better ball striker with my irons and the swing path drill and the Tiger drill (stop at the top) are 2 that I am going to add to my routine for range work. Thanks again for sharing and all the best

Well thought out. Thanks

Thank you Micah!!!!!!!! I needed this

Really good future tip videos could be ball contact , relating to contacting the ball first. Feet and ball positioning. How far to stand away from the ball, and where the ball should be in your stance. Perhaps maybe it differs depending on certain clubs. Hitting fairway woods off the turf is another good, helpful lesson. These would help improve many golfers games, mine included!

Holy crap. The explanation about club face set up was huge for me. Worked hard to fix my club path to be in-out but I always set my club face straight at my target and wondered why it was hooking 🤯

Thanks for this Micah, simplified the club face and path for me better than most have.

These videos are great! Keep them coming, we golfers can pretty easily keep our plane relatively neutral without a lesson. Pure gold! I agree though, face sends it, path bends it.

Great video loved it! Looking forward to hitting the range!

Really really good video. I've been rehearsing my take away to feel the impact zone and moment of impact. Has drastically improved my misses. The 1/2 rule of face angle over swing line producing a "straight" ball is something I never knew but am excited to try... Intuitively it makes sense but I've never heard it explained that way. Im scared to try the pause at the top, not sure why.

I can’t wait to try your body tension drill as well as the stopping at the top drill. I recently started just slowing down my swing at the top, I think your drills will help a lot with sequencing and tempo

Great video, gonna try this on the range! Do you have any similar video for driver? My driver is incurable with hooks and fades.

Thank you for this!

I already knew what drill you were referring to when I read the thumbnail 😂. I watched that clip earlier this year and also took it to the range…. That drill is hard AF but it makes so much sense. Weight transfer is the easiest concept to grasp but one of the hardest things to keep consistent.

You’ve got the path and face impacts mixed up. Club face dictates where the ball starts, club path relative to face direction (face to path) dictates spin. The way you stated it is the old ball flight laws.

Enjoyed this. Do one for chipping types and putting

Excellent video Thankyou Micah. Could you do a video on how to get maximum distance from your driver? I’ve lost 20-30 yards in last 3 years and can’t seem to get it back after watching many other videos. Thankyou

The comment about tension is a great tip. With my driver I normally hit straight-fades or push-fades and have a tough time squaring the face up. I recently relaxed my grip and it's made a huge difference. The clubhead squares up much easier and I'm driving the golf ball really well. Also helps with speed since you can whip the club through more efficiently. Not as relevant with irons since you're hitting down on the ball and a little tension helps with that and ground interaction. Just my experience.

Great video man. Can you make a video about club head lag and when you should start turning your hips? I know "himwoo" fires his hips before he rotates his upper body. But is this a good thing or something that should be avoided?

Face sends it ...Path bends it.

As always fantastic video Micah next time on videos like this maybe fairway woods and keep up the great work brother

Please do a similar vid on divots. I don’t understand them and I can’t hit them. This vid helped so much, thanks Micah!

great video... Thanks for sharing.

Tips for low point control--mostly wedges and irons...thanks! keep up the great work!

That was a great video Tig. I have tried that drill at the end and it is a lot tougher to do than it is to explain. All of that muscle memory and timing that has been ingrained into a player makes installing that pause very difficult and then carrying out a swing after can get fairly squirrely. That said, it is doable and if done repetitively it really helps lock in your proper swing. Also, while I knew that the cause of a draw, hook, fade, slice or straight shot was 100% tied to the angle of the face relative to the path of the swing. The visual you shared as you mentally map out your shot was new to me. It makes total sense and you described it so clearly. I can’t wait to practice on the range and see if I can nail it. Of course, I will need to let these 105 F degrees Texas heat days pass before that will ever happen. The sun melts the cover off the balls right now. They just stick to the club face…..it’s like trying to hit a melted marshmallow. 😅

Love your content

tension comment is great, no one ever mentions, but always helps me at the range!

How are you liking those Axioms btw? I just played my first round with mine today and they're so stable they almost feel strange...but in a good way. Just curious your thoughts...granted I don't swing anywhere near where you do.

Thanks for this video! Could you do a video on your pressure shift? Even for the tiger drill, I thought by the time you get to the top, your pressure should already be transferred to your lead foot but it looks like your pressure is still on the back foot.

Nice! These were some good tips. For those wondering, look up "Tiger Butch" The video was Tiger (wearing white polo, grey pants) & Butch on Golf Talk Live with Peter Kessler (old Golf Channel) April, 2000, just after the Masters and just before he lit the world on fire for the next 9 years. 😅 I recorded that session on VHS cassette and watched it over and over.

5:28 not sure if you misspoke but that's wrong. face determines where the ball starts. and then the face in relation to the path determines whether it hooks or draws which you said correctly

A video to show how you incorporate your legs into the swing would be great Micah. Thank you.

Driver tips would be great , thx 😎

Really good video Micah. Thanks for creating it. I have a question for you. It’s the game between the ears. Under pressure what do you recommend to keep you relaxed, and not thinking about future events, such as don’t hit it in the water or out of bounds, or par your last few holes and you’ll your weekly club competition. Then you end up hitting your tee shot in the water, or double bogey your last hole….don’t see any KZfaqrs talk about the mindset at all. It’s a big gap missing. Cheers, Stephen (Melbourne Australia)

Good stuff Micah. I doubt this gets a reply but what golf shoes are those? Looking for a new pair and I like the look of those.

Love the channel

Micah…..I know you have the Axiom shafts now. We stiffness are your axiom shafts and weight? I got one for my 2 iron and I can wait to use try it out.

Tig, I’d love a video on controlling face angle better. Drills we can do to help ourselves close or open the club face through impact. Great video here though. Great visual

Definitely gonna try and use that 3rd tip. I feel like there is all kinds of tension in my swing at the moment.

Such a nice swing you got Micah. So pure

nice buddy. thank you

Putting drills next? These helped me get a shallow swing!

My biggest issue is tension in my grip of the club. It causes fades sometimes slices on my driver

Micah what are some good drills to practice for consistent center face striking. I sometimes struggle with a toe strike.

Would love to see you play a few holes and just tell us your thoughts during your swing, I’ve heard people say to only thin of hitting and amazing shot, think of what the best shot you ever hit felt like, think about club face, think about rotating, so many things so I’d like to hear your take on it

Thank you Micah

Hey Micah, thanks for all your instruction videos! BUT, I can’t find what I’m doing wrong with my swing and I’m not getting club head speed (105mph max)without slicing the crap out of it! I’m wondering if it is the lack of movement in my wrists that I’ve minimized for accuracy. Can you help explain what you do and also the timing of movement in your downswing. Thanks buddy! God bless.👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

WELL DONE MICAH

Face angle dictates where the ball starts not club path. That’s why you pull putts, closed putter face . If you have an open club game and w 0.0 path, the ball will start right and move right

Can you do a video on how you don't thin the ball

I want to know how you hit the ball so far. I need to hit mine further

how to get more compression when striking the ball and creating the divot past the ball.

Having played and coached for a top Division 1 program I have a little knowledge of the swing . Micah your left shoulder has a tendency to work downward at the start of your takeaway which requires an adjustment during the transition that puts you in a too shallow block right flight or an over the top hold which you can hit a block cut or release and hook ball flight . Work on feeling your left shoulder turning around and up versus the slight downward motion I see at times . Good Luck

The stop at the top drill has come so naturally it’s scary; spending 30 minutes practicing the stop and start hits literally made practice fun and I was hitting better shots within 30 swings!

Love it!!

I like tigers iron swing squatting drill

What drills did you use to learn your right from your left? Just making sure I don’t do the same with my kids. J/k

Micah post your workout and training for golf

So doing this drill, what exactly am I looking for in my sequencing? Lower body, hips, arms? Great video, as I just completely tanked at a tournament and need some stuff to work on at the range.

Putting Putting Putting help. I'm a decent enough golfer to be on in 2 or 3 but my Putting is keeping me from birdie par golf to par bogey occasionally double bogey golf. I feel my reads are good but I feel my putter strokes are all over the place. If that makes since

ok good tension content but what if you can't get it all the way to the top as a senior golfer? Is 3/4 swing acceptable?

Anyone know what shaft that is? I believe it's Axiom but what specs.

How about visual? Do you try to hit down or sweep it ?

The tension part is a great point…. It will almost 100% of the time stop casting!

I like this kind of content

I love ur content keep it up ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Good video

What size grips are you running?

Nice 👍🏽

During the Tiger drill: are you swinging with a normal swing speed, or are you swinging with a more relaxed (slower) speed? I understand this is about sequencing, so I was just curious. A lot of times in sports, when it comes to mechanical movements, it's often practiced slower to get the muscle memory "correct" and then speeding up that movement (sequencing). I imagine if you're swinging full speed the first time you try this drill it's bound to be even harder, like you say. Thanks, Micah!

🔥🔥🔥

A year or so ago, Grant did a mini analysis of your swing. Would be cool for you to analyze his swing. Could be funny actually.

The ball starts 75% towards the face angle.. the path dictates the curvature (in to our curves right to left out to in curves left to right) the bigger the difference between the face and path the more curvature you’ll get Trackman numbers Path -3 face -1.5 perfect fade Path 3 face 1.5 perfect draw

Did you decide to keep the new P790s in the bag?

Micah you’re the goat 🐐

Saw this vid of tiger a few months ago and never stuck to the drill. Micah, if you’re reading this will this video really help me? I’ve been playing for about 6 years and I’ve definitely gotten better, but feel like I haven’t made substantial progress.

How about a drill to make sure the toes of your shoes are properly aligned to target when you are putting? I have noticed people getting their toes out of alignment then keep missing putts until they get back into alignment.

how do i figure out how to compress the golf ball, not hit up on it, that's my struggle, I tend to hit it thin and then when I try to compress it, I chunk or hit a fat shot

How about a putting drill, say you pushed or pulled a few putts during a round, how do you neutralize your putting stroke?

80-85% of the starting direction of the ball is due to the direction of the face, not where the swing path is going. It is incredibly important when trying to fix swing issues to know this.

Well said tig

This is unreal. Thanks for keeping it simple. Love it

Now about Tiger, he used to be across the line, but got his swing on plane to play his best golf. Is an on plane swing something that you should be after too?

He should talk about on how to stop casting or flipping at the golf ball

Micah, great video. It’s fun watching you play but you did a damn good job in this video. Loved how you said you watch a bunch of videos on KZfaq and it becomes to scientific or to much. It’s more easy to relate how you teach it, in order to do it. I think a good video would be you hitting your low wedge shots compared to your higher wedge shots around the 50-80 yard range

Enjoyed the tips, will help narrow my rang practice. Keep trying to help us, the uncoordinated, unathletic, duffers. 😂

I watched this yesterday and while it was interesting, wasn't sure how much it would help. Tried it at the range last night and man it was so effective. Helped my tempo so much and was flushing it by the end of the session. Great drill

a good drill with the pause that my coach would do is once you're stopped at the top have someone call out a shot shape and try to hit that shape

Let's freaking go Micah🏌️

You mentioned that you are not an instructor; however, your explanation of these drills is very easy to understand. Please keep the tips coming!

Putting Drills. How you read putts. How you hit the ball into the cup.
