Well presented; thank you for sharing.

If I can see the hole it's flag out unless I'm on my own having a casual tap around and can't be bothered take the flag out. On distance putts I prefer tended because as you rightfully said the hole is bigger. I've had putts that would have dropped if the flag was out that have hit the flag and bounced out. I used to try and use the flag as a reference of the undulations but as they are seldom truly upright it doesn't really work. I have no Idea if I'm alone in this but, as I approach the green and see my ball. I'm already looking if the putt is uphill, down hill or flat.Generally whether it looks left to right or right to left or straight. I then stand behind the ball and read then look from the other side of the flag to see if I've missed anything. I then go to my ball. I'm not a line the ball up person so unless it needs cleaning or marking for someone else to play their shot. I don't pick my ball up. From there I take what I've seen on my 2 reads and try to visualize the ball travelling towards the hole taking those breaks. I then take 2 or3 practice strokes whilst looking at the hole and my ball position to try to get a feel for how I'm going to hit it. I then line up and pick my aim point ( the point on the ground I want the ball to roll over rather than that silly finger waving stuff) I look at the hole the aim-point the ball a couple of more times then focus on the ball and the putter face ( that I'm as confident as I can be that I'm pointing it the right way) and I take my shot looking at the point on the ball I want to hit and only look up once the ball has gone. If you're near the hole you'll often hear the ball dropping into the cup before you look up.

I was always told as a kid that the follow through was the important bit.

Great video. Huge number of learnings here. 🎉🎉🎉

Valuable information. I just can't get past the Hat!😊

If I get a BBL will it make me a better golfer?

Where is the lean video?

Great tip thanks

A teaching pro told me it depends on the type of pin it is. A metal pin that is somewhat thick and heavy should be pulled. I agree. Twice, with this type of pin in the hole, I’ve had a 30’ putt bounce off the pin and not go in. And both were dying at the hole. The pro said the thin fiberglass pins are less of a problem if you leave them in. Other suggestions were, leave it in on downhill putts and pull it on uphill putts. It’s personal preference, but I take the pin out always.

Back of the cup, positive strike. Flag out always under 10', as you say.

I had the hardest time with "leaving the Flagstick IN", after the 2019 Rule Change. 45 Years of this being a "No, No! TWO Stroke Penalty!!!" would set off a subconscious Red Flag for quite awhile. Like you, on longer Putts I will leave it IN anytime when I would have asked for the Flagstick to be attended and pull it for shorter Putts. Simple "Taps Ins" I usually don't bother to pull it out.

I absolutely love your tutorials!! I’m pretty new to golf (w/in my first year and a half) and I will def try this next time I’m out!!

I'll try that, but I rarely remove the pin.

Exactly

Uh …

Years ago was watching Lee Trivino talk about the flag and chipping (Before the new covid rule keeping the flag in), He said "On a flat or uphill chip, always take the flag out but on down hill leave in because the back of the hole is lower. I would think this works on putting. Do you agree?

My strategy has always been, metal flags out always, fiberglass flags in, choice.

Fingerprint your butt! Brilliant analogy!!😂😂

Good one. Jack talked about not really thinking much at all about wrist hinge... just letting it happen naturally, which, imex, results in what CR is talking about here. If I try to hinge like DJ... I'm slicing like crazy.

Count 1234.. One backswing, Two downswing. Three release, Four finish. Simple as 1234. 💪💪

which video has the hola hoop drill?

What??? Little confused here. I don't think anyone would have both wrists up and down in the back swing. It would look goofy. If you cock the left wrist and bring the handle back in your backswing every thing just happens naturally.

Great tip!

Bonjour. Organisez vous des sejours hebergement restauration et stage de golf pour des europeens. 2 semaines. Quel budget. Merci de votre reponse 🤗

Thanks

Can’t quite see us 75 yr olds fwd bending to such an extent…never quite understand why instructors always ref top pros in golf instruction….whatever happened to KISS? Sorry to be so negative but thanks anyway

Always great info from Christina. I used to do the stand up on the downswing. It's like bullfighting. Ole!. So bad. You need to go down and get it. IMO, amount of forward bend depends on relative length of the player's femur bones vs lower legs. Start with proper fore/aft balance on the feet (e.g. toe vs heel weighting). Then figure out how much knee bend and hip hinge you need to make that work.

Are you the female chi chi Rodriguez 😢

Love the POV

I can not do it as a one motion . Not easy to do. Any drill for that?

Great cues, thank you once again ❤

Great teaching more pars 😘

Wow. Thanks a lot. I definitely over rotate the top of my body trying to get power. 😢

Brilliant. Very good sales women and professional golfer and also gives great value to her clients.

Love to see that triangle formed by MorePar band. This is true power source of big muscle, plus swing plane control. Classic!

I love your instruction and content ❣️😊⛳

Thats why i suck haha i got no asssss

When does the right wrist hinge happen and when does it release? Also, when the hinge releases, does that contribute to clubhead speed and resulting distance?

I love the video, but I have one comment. I agree with the wrist movements you describe, but in addition to the right wrist hinging, it seems that it also cocks up since it is tightly coupled to the left hand which is cocking up.

Thanks dude

Great lesson!!!!

Love the slow motion!!!❤

I am almost 58 and a 5'4" South Asian Indian. I have been working on glute activation in my gym and on the course. But I have some deeply embedded lower back issues, and it is frustrating how I lose my progress, whenever I am off golf for a few weeks or a month. It is THE most important movement and activation in golf - glute and core. Core stability is a major issue that I suffer from.

Absolutely! In fact as i am in my golf posture swinging my club from one corner of my body to the other I use my right and left hip as if they are ‘hands’ on the steering wheel of my buttocks. Cheers 👍🥂😊

This was the most informative golf lesson ever!!!!! Loved the examples of what not to do because I’m definitely doing some of it lol. Thanks so much 💗

Thanks for the tip Christina! After a so-so round today I'm going to enjoy a fine Scotch and a finer Cigar..and really focus on my Butt move!😅

Christina, love your simple explanations for golf swings. It may not help anyone else, but for me if I lift my left heal in the back swing like Bobby Jones l have a better lower hip rotation & strike the ball better.

Great video

What’s your suggestion for something I call white ball syndrome. Lots of us have it, it’s where you take this beautiful graceful practice swing, but when that little white ball is there your swing looks more like you’re breaking up a sidewalk than a golf swing?

What's the role of the left arm in the swing?
