This video pointed out some things about my swing that I was doing incorrectly. I didn't understand why I was flipping the club until Mr. Ballard explained it.

This is a great article that you should read. https://www.golfdigest.com/story/five-things-the-best-golf-instructors-see-in-your-swing-that-you-dont As soon as I watched this, I knew that this was going to make a big difference in my swing. It did. I just ran across this video and have been playing with what he says to do. It's almost too easy. It takes all the "thinking" out of it. Try it and let me know what you think. In the thirty plus years that I've been playing golf, I've watched hundreds (maybe thousands) of videos on golf, read hundreds of golf books, taken lessons from several teachers and tried every techniques out there. But, no matter what I did, I was inconsistent and frustrated. It takes incredible coordination to master the golf swing, as taught by modern golf instructors. As much as I love playing, I gave up about a year ago. I was getting more and more frustrated and my back, hips and legs were always hurting. Then I I remembered having the pleasure of talking to someone who was a long ball hitter a number of years ago. He had won several championships. He told me that he avoided using his legs in the golf swing because all they should do is be a base for your upper body swing. So I looked for videos on this subject and found this one. Wow... it makes the swing so simple. Try it... it may be the change you're looking for. I had some problems with my swing a few days ago. It wasn't until I got home and watched myself in the mirror that I realized that my problem was an improper shoulder swing. I've posted before that a good swing is based on turning your shoulders, not moving your arms. This Youtube video gives some more insight into the proper shoulder swing. If you start to run into problems with your swing, during a game, think about your shoulder turn. ![]() Just 1 thing. Do you believe it? Do just 1 thing for a great golf swing? Isn't that a bit too hopeful? Surely if you went to a Golf Pro you would get a whole series of lessons, wouldn't you? Not just 1 thing. How on earth will 'just 1 thing' make any substantial difference? How can an online golf swing suggestion make any difference? Is it smoke and mirrors, a trick? Actually, yes, it is a trick and you are going to play it on yourself. You are going to play the trick on your conscious mind and that is going to allow your golf swing to happen as it should. Think this swing thought throughout your whole golf swing - HOLD THE GOLF SWING FINISH HIGH. That's it, that's the 1 thing. I picked this lesson up from a golfer who had really struggled with her golf. She considered that if she knew what the golf swing should look like at the finish, then everything else would be taken care of to get the swing to that point. She said she couldn't think fast enough to cope with all the other things she had been told to do. Her swing thought was "Hollywood Finish, Hollywood Finish" over and over again. This lady plays off the men's tees and for cash. She took mine very easily. How does it work? If you think 'hold the golf swing high at the finish' throughout the whole swing, you will have let your sub-conscious mind do its job. Take the club back, then forwards through the ball position with reasonable force. You will not have been able to think all the sabotaging thoughts.. Your body will work at its very best for you. It will have navigated itself around those old injuries, that one leg shorter than the other. That's the important stuff your sub-conscious mind takes care of, your conscious mind doesn't factor in or does at the expense of everything else. Thinking the swing thought has given the conscious mind some work to do and it will go do it with extreme enthusiasm. You will end up in that position of holding the golf club high over your target side shoulder, and you will be looking straight down the flight path of the golf ball. That's where your golf swing should finish up, your sub-conscious will be pretty much delivering you those results, if it is left alone to do so. Will that alone produce a great swing, a great game? No, it will sure help your swing, but to play great golf takes a bit more than 1 thing. If that great golf swing is made with the wrong golf club selection or pointing in the wrong direction, then the ball will go where you don't want it to. Now that's not helpful to playing good golf. The golf swing is important and together we will look into the many aspects of it. We'll also look at the other stuff which will make the whole game simple and get great golf results. Good golf is easy to play, bad golf takes a lot of effort, is frustrating and exhausting. Let's play easy, good golf. borrowed from http://undercoveragent.hubpages.com/hub/Do-just-1-thing-for-a-great-golf-swing This is a clever, simple device to keep your arms together during the golf swing. Ben Hogan said this was critical to swing properly. The developer of this device came up with a simple sollution - a shirt with one sleeve that will handle both arms. Smart and inexpensive.
