Hey gang---sorry about some of those black out screens toward the end of the video! Will make sure that doesn't happen moving keep ya on your toes from time to time :)

First time golfer here, love the way you explain really helped me understand my swing more and what I’m not doing

[lancemanyon]

Great video and instructions seemingly describing my driver game. I tend to get too steep and have a negative attack angle with a little outside in path when things aren’t going well. Putting Rory side by side with you showed another great visual as almost every golfer on the planet would take his driver swing.

Eric, this stomp and stretch feels literally changed my game over night. Thursday I kept hitting my driver right into the woods. Friday after watching this video I hit almost every fairway dead straight getting distance I’ve never got before.

I noticed this extra depth really helps with getting shallow. I also focused on the same stomp and stretch on the opposite side thru impact and finish.

Love your informative videos. Thanks a ton!

This video worked not only with my driver, but all of my clubs. I've been playing for 30 years and have been turning my shoulders incorrectly the entire time. This shoulder feel has me hitting it pure. This also improves my mishits as the spread has tightened. Thank you!

[CheezDaBoss]

Thank you for the lesson. I'll give it a try!

[rorychampagnie]

Great set up tip.. the stomp swing feel did it for me..

[aaronreed]

Awesome video. Really informative and easy to understand.

Eric, thanks for all your videos. You explain and demonstrate very well. I have a problem with my driver and other woods, mainly in hitting them off the golf course right (righty golfer), or duck hooking. My irons typically go rather straight, though at times they turn into more of a roundhouse hook than a gentle draw. My ball position is much more forward than it used to be so I don’t think that’s the issue. The feeling I get when I hit the push is I wind up with my hands flailing way right on the follow-through or basically not finishing the swing at all. Any recommendations?

Good teacher! Many thanks from korea.

[reasonablerage]

I'll be getting half a dozen lessons soon, thank you for the tips.

Going to try that stomp with heel as a swing trigger!

[michaelgsimmonds]

Great video - thx. The only thing I would say is you say to take a small step with your left foot at address which takes you 2 or 3 inches ahead of the ball, and then when you are getting ready to hit the ball you subconsciously move your left foot back 2 or 3 inches so that it is level with the ball.

[petercrocitto]

Very good video, may need to do some stretching exercises to allow me to turn that far back

[pastorjason]

Always love your stuff man!. Have you ever heard or seen stuff from Marcus Edblad Golf. He has a very different concept on the swing I would love to hear your thoughts on. I know you used to work with other coaches stuff and see how you incorporate it or use it with your spin on it. Would love to see what you think, it feels so different.

[inuvik]

Liked that tip Eric, simple one plane swing, will try that tomorrow.

[josephhashana]

Hey Eric! Great video!! Thanks for doing this. One question from an amateur golfer…would you say the right arm is not as bent on a driver swing compared to an iron swing? I watched your other video on the right arm’s role in the swing and there is a bend to it for irons however on the driver swing the right arm is straighter?? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

There are some periods in the video with just black instead of whatever was supposed to be in the video after around 10 minutes in.

[dougwitczak]

Great instructions! What causes my tee to sometimes be 10 ft behind me after I swing, and sometimes the tee doesn't move and sometimes it end slightly in front of where I hit the tee shot? Also my trail foot should it be at a 90 degree angle or flared out to the right. I try to keep a weight feel on my big toes of both feet pushing in on the ground creating a better balance feel on the swing! Your thoughts?

[albylongballboarder]

I feel like you left out just one point - the wide takeaway as you stomp aka transfer wait to the right foot insole. Can't tell you how many times my playing buddies just "pick up the club" to initiate the takeaway and have a very steep backswing with no width. That makes them even steeper coming down and naturally, they duff the ball or hit cruise missiles. Other than that, EXCELLENT commentary and explanation 👍
