From watching this video and employing the counter grip pressure. I was able to drop my score around slaley hall. From low thirties to 14 over. The difference was incredible. Setting the club early in this manner. It has changed my game.

Wouldn’t want to take a punch from Peter…

I’ll give this a try tonight, I’m the same I either hit a rocket or it turns into a hook.. probably due to trying to adjust face with hands and not managing it all the time

Any reason why you blocked me on twitter?? weird !

Thank you James (and Pete) for sharing this coaching experience with us. It was the most insightful thing I've heard in 15 years playing golf.

I was thinking the same…he’s really scary and intimidating…I think I would have crumbled 😬

@@brianhull5125 lmao I had the same feeling.

I felt bad for James as he comes across as being very strict. I like his no nonsense attitude and asks a lot of questions.

@@acemakerjay Yeah but I mean, the coach wasnt bad at all except when he went into mathematics haha. Overall it was a great teaching even though he had a strong character.

@@edgemasterrlol I have been watching everything I can find on him on you tube and watching them all. I've learned a lot of what he is teaching. The pyramid videos of his are really good. 3 of them.

Too much talking & not enough hands on instruction.

This instruction has single handedly changed my golf game. For a beginner whos constantly watching videos, listening to Peter Cowen and not just hearing his words is fundamentally on a different level.

Couldn't agree more. Outstanding video! If you got nothing out of that then you should take up another game like darts or archery.

@@ILik3PH0T0 …deeeeeep. Best way to improve is to practice, practice, practice. Regardless of swing shape consistency is the key.

Me too, and I can honestly say I understand absolutely NOTHING!

Same 💯

@@SL0409 you need to be a low handicap - almost scratch player to understand these lessons.

well honestly, not to "undertstand" them. A high handicap player can actually understand the meaning, but he wont be able to put it into action. the mechanic of swing must be very clear already. The difference here is simple: most players, not low handicap, dont hit the ball by putting pressure on it from above. Most players think they have to "push" the ball ahead. That's wrong. Once you start realizing the real meaning of "putting pressure" on it, and start creating different impacts and divots, you can understand the real meaning of this lesson.

I love Pete Cowan's instruction...he really knows...so expect mucho improvement...:)

Thanks buddy

Brilliant

A very detailed but complicated was of saying…. Lock those bloody wrists…

@@richardholgate7849 Is that what you heard? I don't think locking anything in the golf swing is good. Applying equal but opposite force with the hands still allows everything to release normally.

His golfing intelligence is off the charts.

I definitely feel dumber after watching this video. 🤣 but in as good a way possible! Watching him swing a golf club looked painful before this. Now it looks more fluid but not fluent yet but definitely much better.

Thats because he didnt! Neither did I.

Can you explain what he means by loading the shoulder for a fade/draw? They don't go into any detail on the difference

@@GSALG216 higher on the plane - fade, lower on the plane - draw.

Yet, by James own admission, he got worse after this lesson, not better. How is that good instruction if it makes an already good golfer worse?

I'm pretty dumb I guess. To play a fade you need to position the shoulder higher and for a draw lower. I'm lost!

What did he say that was new?

I did not get the grip thing "opposing fingers" . I she saying 'one hand weak and the other strong ?

@@MrCatsailor My best answer as this worked for me, is to focus on the “squeezing the towel” example. In relation to the grip, you’re not necessarily ringing out water from a towel because the grip pressure would be too tight. However, that same opposing motion in the hands done lightly is what keeps the club face square and it feels like the hands are connected throughout the swing. The “aha” moment for me was noticing that in my backswing, my hands were rolling in the same direction which resulted in the club face being wide open. At that point, everything else becomes hand eye coordination and the club can’t do what it’s intended to do. As I’m far from the expert here and just letting you know how it clicked for me, just pretend you didn’t read this if it doesn’t resonate with you as we all grasp things differently 😉

@@thenextgreat8652 got it...that makes more since

What new thing did you learn?

🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@JamesRobinsonGolf I've already started to work on this and have even started to pass on these concepts to my kids as well. It's already having a huge impact on my Son's swing (9 years old) .

Well said Lefty, "F'ing wow" sums it up perfectly👍👍

Explain it. It all seemed like nonsense.

i’m also going to be trying this out, i hope i get the same results as you seem to have got 🙂

That opposing grip change the way i hit the ball. I can pretty much direct where my ball is going. No more slice or hook unless its necessary.

Same for me-and I now understand why-because of the stabilising of the face. I don’t know anyone else who has focused on this!

You like that Ken !

James: "Yeah"

Yes definitely !

Really?

He had it sussed after he hit 1 ball i think

@@TheTraditionalGolfer lmao

@@TheTraditionalGolfer He had him after he gripped the club.

Nothing new

It was essentially swing high for a fade and low for a draw.... 25 mins to say 10 seconds of content. Pete loves the sound of his own voice.

I didnt see any difference

Thanks buddy appreciate that!

I do as well and I agree 100%.

Yep... same here. Straight to the saved folder.

Incredibly clear instruction.

Such as?

@@beniteztheconman such as in the video

Appreciate your time

I’ve been a single digit for 40 years and this lesson changed my ball striking in a month. I look up and the ball is on line. The grip tip is incredible. Really helped my connection between hands and body. Wish I had more time!!

This is what I wish I'd get every time I paid for Instructions. Nothing drives me crazy when I just get complimented the whole time. Like tell me more man, be honest here I'm paying for honesty

Exactly Kuzmania

Clear? It was so not clear

10 seconds of content. Swing high for fade... low for draw. You are easily impressed.

i tried this the same day and babby draws and fades on demand very much improved. i think that the opposing grip force very important for face control. maybe honeymoon period but , i hope not.

Thanks!

I think this is just his personality. He'd be great military man. No nonsense. No BS.

Sounds like your handicap is banjaxxed😂

That is seriously impressive 👍

Agree

Yes please, my backswing is also very flat. Not sure if i can change.

@@willemdewaal1127 same here.

Thanks buddy. Appreciate your time

Thank you James, This guy is no joke. Still trying to Comprehend his philosophy...!!👍👍

If I understood him, think of the club grip as the towel. Twist the fingers of each hand inwards against the twist of the other hand. This wrings the handle, increases control of the clubhead and locks the shoulders in. The whole lot together creates more consistent striking.

You cannot miss when you swing with your hands opposing and you strike the ball, it's uncanny!

Think of a “Chinese Burn”. As you’re looking down, twist your left hand clockwise and your right hand anti-clockwise. Not excessively. Just enough to feel your grip stronger than before. You’re not looking to strangle the club. Just hold it as normal and then move each hand around 1cm. You’ll feel it when it’s right. You’ll instantly feel your grip strengthening without the need to grip harder. Once you get it, you will have a stronger grip that doesn’t need grip strength or conscious effort.

​@@fedup3449 doesnt it make you have a really tense grip and swing?

@@beniteztheconman It describes the process. It doesn't mean you have to wring the crap out of the club.

Was hoping for a bit of insight into the shoulders as well. Kinda wondering about the initiating with the shoulder muscle.

Me too! Same question.

That's what it looks like to me. Kinda makes sense too as gravity and the natural pull of the club when flatter is going to in theory bring the club in to out for the draw and vice versa.

I was the same. I struggled with the difference in the shoulders but it seemed to work. Is the clarification in the follow up?

Start by looking at your backswing in a mirror, and place the triangle of your arms, so you can see your shoulder in that triangle, then make adjustments for a fade, higher and draw lower. It's a start, lol.

Yes - James please do this

What is it that you didn’t understand?

14:20-14:40. I had to watch it twice to get it too.

Same here. Maybe I’m not smart enough to be a good golfer, but I think this man could confuse a bird while teaching it how to fly.

I’m a cat 1 golfer and am clued up about the swing I can agree with you on this. Pete knows his stuff but his way of getting his point across is very poor

You won't find many people admitting they don't understand someone who's referred to as the world's BEST instructor. You don't want to be the member of the cult saying your leader might be wrong. His analogies and choice of words make it harder than it needs to be. I've watched multiple videos with him and he does a great job of subtly condescending anyone who offers a different way of thinking or choice of words.

it will work for some and not others. I prefer to be asked questions - I like trying to work things out and it keeps me engaged. But it's not for everyone.

Dont believe you

@@beniteztheconman I pity you.

@@citanullunatic4084 Why because a 24 handicap grips a golf club too hard?

@@beniteztheconman I'm talking to you.

@@citanullunatic4084 oooooh

Good questions... the video didnt explain anything clearly

@@beniteztheconman my thought as well. Lots of talk but almost no explaining what is actually happening
