fantastic lesson. i direct all my friends and family to watch your videos in an effort to help them. your lessons have changed me tenfold over the last 2 yrs. i cant thank you enough for what your lessons have done for me. you have changed me from an ok golfer into a very good, consistent golfer that my friends are now jealous of my swing. this is due to you buddy. thank you for everything

Rob, another simple and easy reminder that the golf swing is not as confusing as others lead us to believe ... Thanks so much for these video's

Best golf advice ever from 6:00 to 6:40. Be honest with yourself and stop wasting time and money. Thanks for your honesty and quality content.

Best golf video on KZfaq. Can’t be much more simple. Take your address, weight forward, arms connected to the chest, rotate your upper body to complete the backswing. Do not use your arms and hands to initiate the backswing. Use the big muscles of the upper body. Fantastic video Rob! Just subscribed.

Like it. Need these two drills! Less complicated than some other coaches.

Thank you Rob! I'm finally able to get my backswing longer and increase the power. Thanks again!

So helpful . Thank you!!😊

Excellent video. Thank you

Thanks Rob!

I am new to golf 1 month old and find your videos and instructions / lessons very very interesting than others on YT Will try to practise and follow. Also if u can guide what’s difference between a stiff and flex shaft. And how to choose a golf kit. Thank You

I love your body of work, thank you for making sense in my world of golf. ;)

Thank you!

What about the initial wrist set you explained about in a later video?

Great info as always Rob! Head on the wall and straight arms are the real Keys to the swing…until you hit one bad shot and everything goes out the window. So I’ve heard.

Great video

The horizontal drill has been around a while. I was so excited on the range after working on the drill before each shot. My worst shots were good. But the majority were as good as I am capable of hitting. Then came the litmus test, carrying it to the course. The magic was gone. My heart ached, how could it disappear so quickly. This was all prior to watching this video. The one thing I was not focusing on was keeping the arms “attached to the body,” as my focus was mainly on swinging the arms on an incline plane. I will try the tee drill.

You are BETTER THAN MOST INSTRUCTOR

Thanks Rob! Your video instruction has given me much more knowledge and confidence with my complete swing! I will get Skillest video to you in about 2 weeks. Very busy with work! Best regards, Richard.

Great combi drill the tee and head on wall drill I wonder if we could combine that now with the hit hard stop quick drill? Love this content

Rob, when you swing the club with the torso upright, the plane is horizontal to the ground. But surely when the hips move towards the target the torso inclines and this must change the swing plane to tilting upward and to the right as per Ben Hogan’s 5 lessons. Your thoughts please.

Would you advise this to someone that has longer arms than their height? I've been told that I have to get my hands higher (I'm 5 foot 6 with 5 foot 8 wingspan). Thanks.

Took this to the course and hit some crazy accurate shots just simply pretending my head was touching something especially on the downswing. Trusting this is hard because being a caster and early extender most of my golfing life it feels like you will stab the club head into the ground six inches behind the ball but oddly enough if done as demonstrated you get crisp contact

I've been working on this for a few weeks now and your video has summed it up well. I'm finding that emulating a baseball swing on a horizontal plane gets the right feels in motion, including weight shift, shaft lean, squaring of club face, rotating through impact, and hip turn. Then it's just a case of angling the arc down gradually after a few swings and you can even start to use the ground reaction forces to provide more speed at the bottom of the arc. Eventually this just turns into the normal golf swing without overthinking. I've also been focusing on keeping my trail elbow in towards my body and straightening my left arm. The gains in consistency and accuracy have been monumental which in turn has given me the confidence to rotate harder and paradoxically add more power even with a shorter swing. It's really brought me out of a bit of a golfing rut.

With that said do you still have your weight forward on top of that?

Thanks Rob. Great video. I've tried this but I'm plagued with pulls verging on hooks especially with the driver. Any suggestions ?

Rob, is the real difference in moving off the ball and keeping your head on the noodle the difference in keeping your chest up on backswing and moving your chest down on backswing or no extension of chest. I struggle with this at times. Thanks

Where can i get the string set up you use on the mat ?

Thank you for a fabulous video I struggle separating my rt. arm from shoulder @ about p4.5 to near delivery You do it expertly- P4.5 to about P5.75 Your rt arm must exceed 45 degrees- that's Mac O'Grady territory Some ideas please how you execute this task Many thanks

Hey mate what starts the backswing

Better than most

How do you adjust for low ball flight?

Rob- I notice that both you and Tom Saguto flare your feet evenly at setup. Is this essential in your opinion with the single plane swing? Thanks

Rob, are your lessons considered "stack and tilt"?

This gives me accuracy but less distance.

Very good videos but I would like to see you doing actual lessons with different levels of handicaps.

If I just straighten the right arm gradually in the downswing doesn’t that square the clubface and shallow the club at the same time? Like a bicep curl. So just curl the right arm up in the backswing and uncurl in the downswing without moving the elbow around would while rotating the body would shallow the club square the clubface without much manipulation of the shaft and having any conscience effort to square the clubface.

How do older golfers compensate for the lack of distance because the swing becomes much shorter?

Hello again Rob-This re-enforcement on arms tight to the body and no upward reach is sooo-necessary especially for an old man trying to stay relevant on he course. Thanks as always for anothet targeted blesson.-Stay well-Russ

I am lucky if I hit driver 150 yards. Luck out and hit it close to 200 once in a while. Obviously need a lesson.

Mr INTERNET can erase all other golf instruction videos, and just keep these 2 videos, the ball position and nick's last week stick. I would add something about tempo and rythm, and draw/fade effects. Thank you

You aren't tilting your shoulders you are bending at your waist.

This gives me accuracy but less distance..Check don't do this drill by Mr Short Game.He said is a good drill until you do the best way
