That’s the best explanation of covering the ball I’ve seen. So clear and precise. The sweeping the cups analogy is brilliant. Thank you.

[richardgozinya]

Anyone can teach, but what differentiates you from others is that you explain how it should feel. One of your best videos was when you threw clubs down the fairway to feel the proper release. Your info is awesome.

Adam, thanks for the great "mental pictures" you give. They are always helpful. Cheers!

Covering the ball I have heard in the past but having listened to this explanation added that I have deeper knowledge in golf now can clearly understand the concept. It’s such that you must feel this covering technique

[peterforrest]

Thanks Adam. As always, your teaching style is excellent...concise and practical....

[swingeasyguy]

Love the 'wipe the bench' feeling...excellent...lately i was getting too shallow and getting stuck behind the ball (rory says that's his mistake so I'm in good company) and went back to covering the ball on the range this morning and all is well, thanks again Adam, great job!

This guy is so good at explaining golf concepts!

[johnwoods]

Very good & helpful video. The idea of clearing table with trail hand is so good 👏

[alexisherwood]

This was extremely helpful! This guy has a ton of knowledge, and I would direct everyone to this channel if they have any questions.

Adam, been watching you for a month or so now and practicing per your recommendations to get the feel for some of these things. Probably played the best overall round of golf of my life the other day. Thanks for all the tips and keep up the great work!

[stuartjames]

Love your lessons. You have such a relaxed swing that looks zero effort. Always reminds me I need to avoid trying to whack the ball and just develop a relaxed swing.

[smythrich]

this is absolutely key for me and my bad swings lead a spin out and a big block / slice . thanks !

[TrojanMars]

Great analogy: swiping of cups off the table! Thanks.

[davidcollins]

Another great video and easily explained tip. Such an effortless swing as well! Thank you Adam.

Thank you for your instruction. I came to "cover the ball" through working on another drill designed to establish my downward plane early in the swing. Essentially I started to "drop my arms" more behind me through a combination of gravity and force, keeping my right shoulder back. At the top of my swing, I would just slam the club head straight down into the ground, and then rotate. Eventually I started my downswing with the arm dropping, and it worked pretty well. Then, for actually the first time since playing for many many years, I felt "covering the ball". It's a new feeling for me and in my mind it feels like it occurs about left arm parallel, and it's an essential move in the golf swing. A "pull" has been my goto shot, and now that I've felt how covering feels, as long as I do it I don't think a 40 yard pull is possible. All of a sudden I see compression occurring...is that possible? I think it's just the new angle with which I approach the ball gives me that sense. Another benefit is I believe I could hit a ball from any lie, just because I'm finally coming into the ball correctly. Is covering the ball that elusive a feel that I could have missed for all my years? Thank you again for your instruction. I think I really see how covering appears in your swing. Oh, I think the sweeping off the table with your arm is helpful, but again I came to it from forcing my arms straight down behind me. In trying to come up with a feel that continues to work, so far it's either start the butt of the club back at the ball, or not just feel left pectoral pressure during transition, but sustain it a little more to allow the arms to drop into the slot.

[martinsadler]

Thanks again Adam great advice simply explained

[tomschmidt]

It’s really enjoyable listing to you. You have such a nice demeaner

[nathanwalker]

Very helpful video, sweeping the cups off the table was a great analogy! Looking forward to putting it into practice at the range 👍

[johno-gbci]
