I am a gseb in NJ.. I agree with idatomhue. Great information. If you havent already I second the motion, either lynn or joe daniels. thanks for the video
Is it move or turn?
Is it a move or more like turn?
oh also i forgot vj trolio the genius he saved my game and swing forever
sevam thanks forever!!!i almost gave up on my swing and golf..ounce everyone feels what you talking about they will relize how using resistance and the ground can give you effertless power and acuracy.from you,lynn and shawn clement gave me the tools and the all new pivot for my swing with thanks million i owe you!!!!!!let people know how important it is though to get your hips and spine angle in front of the ball in the downswing and your head behind it and it will come together for everyone
Sevam, ive recently adopted some of the principles of The Golfing Machine and my swing has turned to mush! I was told to stick with it but dont feel things coming along, have you any thoughts on the golfing machine concept? should I stick with it or concentrate on something like 5 lessons? thanks.
im confused on the “resist” part that you keep saying on the downswing…you dont resist the turning of the hips right? I just dont see how resisting anything in the downswing can cause your left leg to straighten…thanks
i knew the way casey was looking she was waiting to get that damn ball… lol great stuff sevam love the toes up in the air it really braces the right leg which has helped my balanced greatly… now still working on the rise on the left leg hope to get that down pat soon.
weight of left leg, check on stack and tilt with mike bennett.
Hey Sevam, thanks for your reply. I’ve been shooting so great nobody believes that I have been playing only for a year. I do have trouble sometimes with the start of the backswing and was wondering if you have more weight on your left leg to start the backswing? If not would you mind telling me what you use to start your backswing? Again thank you for everything. My friends used to take me with them sometimes to have a laugh but now they want “tips” from me. Ha Ha
I love this stuff: because it has got me thinking about the golf swing. So I have changed my grip, balance point and way of striking the golf ball. Also changed way I have been practising which is important. Forget going to the range and hitting endless balls of a mat. Problem is on a mat you cant see your divot; amongst other things!! Divots are important to the improvement process. Advice find a someone with a field preferably with some variations to do your practice. You will learn alot more
you should go on tour
All things being equal the more I flare the lead foot the more closed the alignement through the heels is relative to the target line but it depends on the type of shot also.
Sevam,
I have a question about the stance that you have. I know that the left leg is flared out but are your heels parallel to one another or is your left heel open to the target line? Thanks for all of your videos.
It has allowed me to finally reign in my driver and control it without losing distance. I always have hit it extremely far but i cab finally do it with a much smoother swing. Im trying hard now to get the transfer and move into the left side. I still get out of synch at times and my front foot still wants to spin out . I know the move you speak of will cure this but im not getting it like i did with the right side. Please help. Thanks Again
be great if you did another video and tried to break down the left side move further. I think footwork is so underated and not talked about enough. Regardless of peoples opinions on your swing and its relation to Hogan’s….you have really great footwork. I have been working hard on my footwork since finding your videos and my turn into my right side has never been better. I get a feeling of winding up into my leg and foot (tourque) and the biggest improvement is…..
sevan1,
I’m having trouble getting off my right side when I try the move, any advise?
Ever since I watched these vids and purchased Mike’s book my swing has improved on a daily basis. The vast majority of setup and spine crap taught out there is pure, well, crap.
Nice job Casey! I hope that wasn’t a Pro V1…
You’ll start to notice that power comes from your pivot, the weight of your mass. The hands are no longer in control, they don’t need to be when you use your pivot/legs and ground.
Worked so well on the range yesterday thx 1tontomato, now i know what needs to be worked on, as well as getting the feeling of power.
Hey Farsigh,
You need to let the pivot dictate the whole swing. It’s the opposite of what most golf teachers show you. The pivot starts and ends the swing, no need to think about hand positions, you wont have time. The angles of the arms are naturally created by the motion of the pivot. Work on your pivot motion back and through and just hold on to a club, sounds weird but it works.
Cheers!
if you only had faith in this guy. he speaks the truth.
The best part of this is the Dog…otherwise its a bunch of useless info. Resistance, rise what just hit the ball don’t think of a bunch of crap while your doing it. (work on setup and spine angle)
Saw Moe many times warming up at Carlisle…..wish I wouldve watched him more intently.
Cant seem to release my hands….any thoughts?
