Grip down on the club - way down. So your bottom hand is holding metal in half of it. This will sync your swing back up, try it!

Anyone know what these shoes are?

my full 52 goes 110 so i just swing it smoothe.

It is retractable

And he has a video of setting it all up sometime after he moved to Georgia.

@@melborrego6370 Appreciate it. Just found this. Thanks!

Very similar circumstances for me. I left the game for 25 years and just picked it up again in the spring of 2022. The first thing I noticed was how much the equipment has changed. Instead of playing my ancient Ping Eye 2's and persimmon Titleist driver and 3 wood I decided to buy a whole new set - irons, driver, 3 wood, and rescue wood. I eventually also bought a new Taylor Made Spider X putter. For the first month I would go out and hit a bucket of balls at the range twice a week. I did not dare step on to the 1st tee, I was terrified. Soon, I started to reintroduce myself to the game and finally got to the point where I felt I could play a round. That first round was exhilarating, I had forgotten how much I love the game of golf. I didn't do too well, but I didn't care. I had so much fun I couldn't wait to go back out again. It's now early 2023 and I have to say that I have progressed quite a bit. I am now on my second set of irons (Taylor Made P-790's) and have added a Taylor Made gap wedge and a sand wedge. I try to play at least twice a week and spend two days at the range. When I was young I never practiced and my scores were all over the place - one day I would shoot 77 and on another day 85. No consistency at all. Now that I practice regularly I break 80 on every round and have a handicap of 2. Practice is the key! I also study my performance on the course. I keep records on a spread sheet of my scores, fairways hit, greens in regulation, and number of putts per hole and per round. By doing this I focus on problem areas and this has helped a lot. Good luck with your re-entry into the game. Have a little patience, work at your game, and practice whenever you can. The investment in time and effort will pay off. Oh, and practice with a purpose. Don't just go out and hit 70 balls and call it a day. Add some structure to your practice sessions to help you work out the kinks in your game. Cheers!

@@es2056 I'm actually in the 80's now. 83 being my best. I ended up buying an expensive driver, 3 wood and 3 wedges, 50, 54 and 60, that made a huge difference! I went with PXG for all of them. Love them! I think I really need a better putter, did you notice a big difference with yours? My irons are cheap, but my wife bought them for my Xmas, so I'm going to put them to good use for her, at least for this year... I too make notes of everything, I'm making a case study of every aspect of my game, and really re-learning a lot about the different conditions, because here in Scotland they change from hour to hour, never mind day to day!

sounds complicated AF

All these videos are gimmicks. He’s not thinking of any of these while hitting a ball lol😅

Nahhh.......he is saying hit like a 80-85 because it's a downslope and extra carry distance is involved

James, this is only for under 100 yards. He can't explain it well is the only problem.

try for yourself. this guy looks about 4 foot 13, what works for him may not work for you. work on solid contact and go from there. that's what works for me.

Downwind when I played, so I imagine the back door is open to 'simulate' the tail wind. 😃

Agree. And aiming right will cause you to come over the top, which is a world you don’t want to live in.

To be fair, we're not tour pro's either. The vast majority of golfers can't hit a standard 100 yard shot, what he's explaining is how to get that in your locker first before doing the other parts. I agree with the open stance if a good player, but I can also see his logic.

@@James__123 the reason for the open stance is to allow for more rotation through the ball so you can hit the shot with the big muscles. Closing the stance does the complete opposite. It’s just purely bad info through and through. The guys not on tour are already way to steep and hard left through impact with wedges.

That's exactly why the rest of us need to do something different. Plus 99.9% of amateurs are trying to look like tour pros but 100% of them look nothing like tour pros.

@@MrShortGame it’s just fundamentally not sound bro. I can appreciate the message and the effort but you missed the boat here.
