What an innovative drill!😊

Nice demonstration and good common sense advice.

I discovered MdlT very recently and you and your delightful videos tonight. While Manual in videos and his book is very conceptual, I appreciate your more demonstrative approach, even though I am usually more of a verbal rather than a visual learner. But, contrary to the enthusiasm of other comments, I still don't get the idea of visualizing the club swinging to the target. As you point out, the club points at the target for only a few milliseconds as it swings on an arc. So what am I visualizing.? This tiny point in the swing? The entire arc of the swing? This senior golfer from British Columbia is still confused by this key point in MdlT's theory of the swing.

You said centripetal force is "...the outward pulling". Centripetal force, however, is always directed "towards the center" of the circular path. So inward, not outward. Thank goodness for AI!

This works great with a hockey stick, especially if you go buy a cheap one that hasn’t been cut down!

How do you keep from hitting fat shots if you have a balanced stance?

Reminds me of when I would go ice as a kid. A group of us would hold hands and rotate in a circle. The person in the center of the circle moved very little and controlled the swing. The further you were from the center the faster you would go. Then one by one the outside person would let go and be flung. Great fun! Thanks Trish

I’m definitely understanding the backswing with the hands, but the forward swing is a struggle, shouldn’t be as hard as I’m making it 😂 I understand it’s the shoulder to upper arm, but is it through rotating the shoulder open thus swinging the arm with upper body, or is it more a throw with the right arm/bicep with clubhead lagging behind? That timing would seem extremely difficult which is why I think I’m doing this incorrectly.

Refer to Bill Mehlorn.

Good luck Trish

Love it and it works. Very simple

Thanks Trish. 👍 Keep in the short grass.

What a neat drill good luck and thank you 😊

This how Nicklaus did it.

Good luck in the tournament Trish. And, the most important thing, have fun.

Hello trish Good to see you with a different topic. Manzoor golfpro

That’s what to do!🏌🏻⛳️ It’s that simple! Great vid and explanation Trish!

Hi Trish, what part of the trail shoulder should we focus on when we take it back?

Trish would a correct feel in the downswing be throwing the right arm from shoulder to elbow down the target line? I think when I do that I might be dipping the trail shoulder causing both fat and thin shots. If you were to ask me to hit driver off my knees I’d hit far behind me and inside. Thx for the video, good stuff!

The best things are always pure and simple!! But we humans do looove to complicate everything. If we can purge the complexity from our minds and study the natural simplicity of the golf swing, and let (what should be) our natural pendulum swing control our body and not the other way round, we will enhance our golfing journey - of this I am convinced. Great video Trish

Trish, when i an in tempo, my body automatically responds. Thank you for what you do!

Trish, as you say, we need to "trust the process". If I hit a bad shot, and I start tweaking my stance, grip, etc, I get into more trouble. When I go back to "hands back, arms forward" I get back on track.

Awesome visual thank you

great visual.... shows how the arms have a farther way to go than the hips...so they must start first

Hi Trish Nice see you again. The video iis 5 days older and I came across it today. Regards Mnzoor

Great video Trish. Question, what do you do with an extremely tight lie on a pitch…? I tend to chunk tight lies with lofted clubs. Thanksl

Hey Pro, would be great if you filmed playing a par 5. Explaining why, what and where. Thanks.(video student from Cleveland)

Hmmm...but i see virtually all pros starting swing with a hip movement whether called a bump or not. Many start the hip moving forward while club still going backward at the top.

Hi Trish, playing off HI 3.9 just now, 62 years old and been searching all year for a simpler way to swing for longevity . Been trying lots of ideas and now my head is “mince”. Love your explanation, heading out later to give it a try.

❤ Great lesson!

Very bad left wrist on top

Great lesson especially from 0 to about 2:36, thank you.

Great explanation!

Thanks Trish

Ok, way too simple not to try. I’ve been grinding for a long time on a different way to swing, but I’d like to have less to worry about than a bunch of ‘P’ numbers.

I feel that this is a powerful and insightful piece of instruction. I think it could be said that what you have described is synonymous with trying to skim a pebble on a lake?? Which as I understand it, describes the golf swing?? So when you think about it this way, it is the arm that leads the "throwing" with the body then whipping into action??

Good luck in your tournament. Do consciously hinge your wrists on those short shots ( I noticed the same thing in the video of MDLT hitting short shots)? I have a hard time getting the wrists to hinge when the backswing is shorter. Thanks.

Hi Trish. I wish you best of luck. This is off topic but I watched a lengthy class given by Manuel and he talked about building strength by beating a rug hung over a clothes line, to strengthen the back muscles. And I went to the driving range and tried to engage my back muscles during the swing, and lo and behold, I starting striking the ball like a pro. The ball was going 10-15 yards further with my mid irons and much higher. Anyway, I have a hard time duplicating that, and I wondered if there is some method or trick that we can use to get our back muscles engaged so that I strike the ball like that every time Maybe you’ve covered this in another video? But Manuel didn’t really elaborate much in the video I watched, other than to say that the power comes from the muscles of our back.

Hi Trish just love your videos makes golf so easy to understand thankyou

you will do great in the national PGA tournament.

Wise advice Trish thanks

Yes, as to the old school way of two wedges--that's all we had back when I learned the game-PW/SW (of the old lofts). But now I can play about any club for a chipping club. Pretty sure my retro wedges are 55 sand and around 51 PW--and I could always flatten them out as needed-but I lost directional accuracy. Favorite thing of late is using a 4-5 iron for running shots, but also to flatten that blade and use it to pop 'em up, it involves a big opening of stance, but is now in my arsenal since learning how to line up those shots accurately. Just the other day I putted from 25 yards out in the short grass, a shot I would never have tried before, and rolled it up to 8' wide of the cup. My chipping range is where I knock balls into 5-gallon buckets at 25-ish yards-most days of the week. Short game prowess is a great tool to know we can rely on. Great luck in the tournament!

Congrats on your recent Hole-in-one Trish!

When and where will the tournament be?

Thanks Trish - love your videos. The hardest concept for myself is training the arms to start the downswing first. Ive always thought it was the body initiating the downswing.

Great swing concept Trish. I have become a disciple of Ernest Jones, and Del a torre thanks to you. I cant believe you only have 2400 subs, been forwarding your videos to all my golf friends. Thanks again!

Trish, do you use your trusty 54 degree for both pitch and chips?

Trush, do center the club or the ball to the center of your sternam ?

AWESOME!

Hi Trish, Quick question about the arm swing to the target: When you say that, do you mean to keep the wrist angle I make at the top of the backswing and just let the arms swing over the shoulder? Just want to make sure I'm getting it right. Thanks! Best, Phillip
