This is why I started following the LPGA - they all hit the ball really really well! Such talented players on the ladies circuit.

No its not 😂

Yeah ok

@meandmygolf Ай бұрын

Amazing to showcase the great female talent out there. Grace was awesome

@johngurney5890 Ай бұрын

I think their distances (230-250 carry with driver ) also relate to the distances a good amateur can obtain as opposed to the top male players such as Rory carrying 325+ with driver

@AM-wv5mm Ай бұрын

@@johngurney5890 That's exactly right. I'm 260 on my best day. I have coined the phrase, "I aspire to be as good as the worst LPGA Player". I will never be as good as the worst PGA player.

@cindymason5575 Ай бұрын

I love it when you have the LPGA players on. What a beautiful swing! Much more relatable to me and even most guys. I have been working on my swing speed and that ground force is elusive at this point.

Amazing how straight every single shot was! Even with a toe and a heel shot! Nice swing!

Even her misses were dead straight 😂

Such an amazing swing! Even the “misses” aren’t really misses. Great insights from the pros!

Great video! Where would you put the alignment stick for irons with the matchup drill?

@Vermonstered Ай бұрын

Not as far back as unlike a driver you aren't shifting your weight so dramatically and you want to hit down on the ball vs up.

@jimcope9417 Ай бұрын

This works way better than just turning your hips around. I’ve never heard a teaching pro tell you this. I have been swinging the club wrong for 35 years wrong. And buying sets of golf clubs to play better.

3:38 I would say 'commit to your normal tempo' if anything. I can relate to it though. To me, if I don't the natural sequence tends to go out of the window

Does lining up your shoulder to the shaft on the ground relate to all clubs or just driver? Grace has a an amazing swing.

Yes pretty much. It helps create a great rotation

@meandmygolf Ай бұрын

She hit it soooo straight!

@CuriousBrowser10 18 күн бұрын

i notice that her club face literally points upwards to the sky (or parallel to the ground) at the top of her backswing. I do this too, and ive been told this is bad and promotes hooking (which is my miss). Is it not as bad as i thought then? you can work with it? im not sure how i do that, and i just can't seem to fix it.

@glennsmith8390 17 күн бұрын

Great driver and excellent player-but last week she couldn't make a putt. I really felt sorry for her. She went from -8 to -2 in about 9 holes-missed tons of short putts. But I was glad to see she came out on the 18th green and helped the winner celebrate-great sportsmanship on her part. I really became a fan of hers for doing that.

@rtfcomputing4614 Ай бұрын

An amazingly consistent golf swing and even on misses, still same relative speed and ball flight.

@meandmygolf Ай бұрын

I know. She it it really well and never missed!

@mlamesq8 Ай бұрын

You hit the ball straight, Kim, because you’re amazingly talented and you hit thousands of balls a week. We regulars can’t do that, even if we do that “turny” exercise hours a day.

@user_1664 Ай бұрын

There is absolutely no way i would walk away from the course if i got that bent up on the downswing , oh to be 20 again !!!

@Golf_Sceptic-yb5gw 26 күн бұрын

It would be so nice to hear a pro say, "I have not idea what exactly I do. I only know how to do it." Asking a pro about the swing is like asking a formula 1 driver to explain how the car works. They'll probably try and say a bunch of smart sounding stuff while the mechanic and engineer are rolling their eyes.

I really was hoping for a different tip other than “just swing as hard as you can”. That’s not working for me lol.

Get a professional coach to help you

@pedropoloma1205 4 күн бұрын

Watching the ladies would be far more benficial for we mid-high handicappers. Mainly, try and emulate their tempo...you look at an Inbee Park and think, I could do that...in fact, her swing is kinda funky. But 6 or 7 majors later, I guess her swing was just fine.

Let it BE known, that without coaching, without even knowing what the game was about other than throwing a little ball and walking up 2 it, and challenged by some coached expensive equipment docs picked up a driver, putter and 3 iron 4 $1 ea at a garage sale and went on 2 get a "Hole in 1" at the 3rd T, and I did not even know what a 'hole in 1' in golf meant cos was the xxpert in 'hole in 1' otherwise.... and there went another game no 1 wanted 2 play with me

So, if Grace's technique is correct -- does it demonstrate that Stack and Tilt is incorrect?

@viggypops1183 Ай бұрын

Video description says‘how she hits driver straight’. This was never mentioned in the video 😢

@meandmygolf Ай бұрын

The discussion around her spine angle in here is a crucial component for consistency and accuracy.

@viggypops1183 Ай бұрын

@@meandmygolf Thank you for the response gents. Oh I see now. It's tilting the spine (left shoulder higher than right shoulder) and fully twisting or rotating (with a club held by crossed arms as shown in the video) so your chin is pointing to the right foot, I think? I'll give it a try, although I'm not as flexible due being much older than Grace.

@JohnnyChanzzz Ай бұрын

@@viggypops1183 TBH just "feel" like your taking the club back to left arm parallel with a good pivot, for most amateurs you can generate much faster speed from that position compared to a long backswing. Padraig Harrington talks about this, check out his channel. We as amateurs dont need to go shaft parallel for most clubs in the backswing like the pros other than maybe a driver.

I’d love content on what the women do to finesse the shot vs what guys do to muscle it. I feel like 100% of golfers could learn to use finesse.

@meandmygolf 18 күн бұрын

It’s ok to have a little movement with the head in the back swing with the driver but not excessive. It’s good to keep a check on the drill to make sure it’s a rotation and not a sway

@youview5023 24 күн бұрын

Why would the guy in the blue shirt stand so close and it drives me crazy when people interview pros and they asked them to do these ridiculous challenges at the end. Her sweet spot is obviously 97 but you want her to do something different..it's like stupid pet tricks, give it up boys or KZfaq golf equipment and leave the pros to their craft. She was obviously professional and polite as well as a great driver.

@miltonmatthews2138 Ай бұрын

The fact is that they don't know what they do because they start at a young age and have to use their bodies to drive the ball instead of arms and hands. BTW, she's an average player and nothing special.
