We'll hit it again soon😎

Good stuff Chris!! After any kind of break I like play more than practice...keeps me away from technical 😎

You’re right there. Only concentrating non feel as Eric is doing here, I went round the first ten holes of our course in just 4 over par - normally I’d take 8 or 9 over. These two preparation videos have been extremely informative

As Eric is a local to you, maybe you can get him back soon to talk about his focus on swing feelings rather than technical geometry? So much golf instruction is about aiming the golf club somewhere or hitting body movement patterns. Eric seems to be tuning in to the very essence of a swing that's very unusual.

Hey Brendan...we just shot a short game session, it'll be posted soon. I'm still playing Taylormade P7MC Rifle 6.5, SIM driver, 3wood and hybrids...same stuff for the last 3 years

Haha - er - you do realise that Eric has won over 50 events in his career? If you watch his other videos on this channel and a lot with Brendon DeVore on the Be Better Golf channel, you'll hear Eric cover all the errors his swing has that are not going to get fixed after all this time. So you're correct - but Eric knows - and Eric has to work with the "Swing he Brung" as Snead would say.

@@ChristopherDowning I think you’ve missed the point. There is nothing wrong with Eric’s swing IF IF IF 1) He is in the proper grip- for him 2) He is utilizing the proper lower body pivot action- for him *you can test for both of these 3) He swings the club freely Currently, he is employing 3 toxic concepts; “plane”, “synchronization”, and a mismatched release The concept of “swing plane” assumes that the club, from the grip end to the clubhead, lie flat against an inclined angle at address, and that angle adjusts steeper and shallower during the swing, all the while maintaining the same baseline. This is simply not the case. The grip end and the clubhead take wildly different paths in their journeys around the body. This toxic plane concept should be thrown into the gaping bin of myths and mysticisms due to what today’s modern technological measuring devices and the hundreds of elite players that have participated in getting measured have clearly revealed. Trying to manipulate the club through some imagined idealization produces CONSTRAINT. We don’t want constraints The concept of “synchronization” assumes that we want the body, the arms, and the club to be moving together at some point in the downswing and though the ball. This is exactly NOT what elite players do. The movements, or what Eric refers to as the “geometry” are 100% resultant of the physics; the force that the golfer applies that result in the movements that you see. Elite golfers do not get the force from the movements. This is quite literally backwards. Timing the application of these forces with the travel of the club IS the true measure of “synchronization” in a golf swing. The peak magnitude of these force applications occur before the club even reaches parallel to the ground in the downswing. The concept of trying to get everything to move together sounds good and all but is just not a reality of what occurs in the swings of elite players. The attempt inspires CONSTRAINT. We don’t want constraints. We want dynamic motion. Not motion that is attractive or aligns with someone’s preferences NOBODY, whether you have won the Botswana Open or the Masters or US Open is able to play well with a mismatched release. An under grip and an on top release or an on top grip and an under release is worse case scenario in golf. Ask Jordan Spieth or Brooks Keopka or Yani Tseng. The release that Eric is demonstrating as an intent is a closing action; the opposite of the one that fits the grip type that he is currently employing. If he does in fact measure out to be an under grip like the one he is using, he needs to release it like Dustin Johnson. He is demonstrating a release type that is a fit for an on top grip golfer like Sergio Garcia If you get matched up you can SWING IT without worry about where the club is in relation to planes or where you think your body should be. So get matched up and never mind the bullocks Patches out ✌️

Appreciate the comments Chris!! Where are you from?

@@ezegolf60 I wish I was from LA so I could come and see you - but I live 25 miles east of Bath in the UK West Country. My big take on this video was to focus on the feel. Before seeing this, I'd definitely have tried to nail positions, angles, and where the butt points. I've started concentrating on this video content and immediately started swinging better and striking smoothly. I've been following you for three years when I was doing lessons with Graeme McDowell's coach, Clive Tucker. His lessons and your videos were a perfect match. The only videos that could do that.

@@ChristopherDowning great to hear Chris!! Send me a DM on Instagram...would love to see your swing!

It's being able to move to your lead side while staying behind the ball with proper spine tilt and good path and width...I'd like to see what you do to diagnose further.

Do you do online stuff ? Thx

I do...shoot me a message on IG

Thank you🤙

Very talented!!!

Thanks so much Chris!!! Glad it's helping your game😎

The release of the wrists are attached to the body...when you post up (pushing off the ground and straightening of the left leg) the left hip goes up and in assisting is the release of the wrists at impact ...there's a lot of mass behind the clubhead when your synched up 👍 Hope that helps!

Says you and Barbara Walters 😂

It's similar but not as much around your body because the plane gets steaper so the angle of attack is steaper. I still feel wide just not as much...smaller club

Thanks Tony!!!

Thanks for the comments!! Think of it as skipping a stone...your wrist bends, the elbow loads then all is released at the right time...

Great to hear Sam!!

We all have our way of getting our matchups and if you feel pushing down on the handle creates nice load, shaft path and synched up optimally then you're on the right path...hope that helps!!

Thanks Jay🤘

You better get in quick. IMO Once golfers find Eric's videos, he's going to get big on KZfaq and busy playing and teaching.

@@ChristopherDowning yea that’s why I call dibs first lol ! Let’s do it asap
