Im going Saturday here in SATX for my swing eval...we shall see

If you have to think about ANYTHING in a golf swing you are doing it wrong.

Love your work but not the shirt. If I were a pizza delivery person, The shirt would be a good fit.

Would like you to try Michael Broderick swing method. He is old and can hit it very long.

Thanks Chad for leading me to watch Marcus Edblad..my results have been amazing! Last week at the tender age of 70 I managed a round of 76 from the regular ( not seniors) tees on my home course. Best round of the season so far…and you are spot on when you talk of embracing the swing changes 100% and practice. ❤ I'm lucky enough to have a practice net in my backyard and hit into it EVERY DAY! Had to totally change my thinking as it applies to the swing but after having success with it I plan on staying the course. Many thanks from a subscriber in Nova Scotia. 🇨🇦 Keep the great videos coming…your sacrifice is appreciated by us mere mortals…lol😅.

Love short narrow courses. Nice to see you in action. 👍

Hey Chad, I’ve always maintained two things; one is boring is good; and every bad shot is preceded by a bad plan.

Chad what is the best swing method so far that you have tried,thanks

Very nice result for being a little rusty with your "on course" game and the environmental circumstances. Sopping fairways and rough present a whole other set of challenges especially if you're used to striking off of mats since the low point precision demands are higher off of real wet turf and grass. No doubt the strategic choices kept you in the game and able to keep a good score in your sights. You were more on plane than I've ever seen you before on the course and less OTT makes it clear how much your trail wrist affects your release but you do a nice job of getting the club through on a decent plane. Nice vid. Cheers.

When on course have a strategy a purpose stick to it. Reflect on the outcome and determine areas for improvement, practice, practice and most importantly enjoy the journey!

Chad, good advice. Learn to play one shot shape well. Heard Nelly Korda say that she only plays a draw, because it’s her natural shape and that if she tried to fade it, it would be a disaster. Most pros play one shape and they play that shape well. Like you said, since you’re a drawer of the ball you tee up on the left side and aim right. I’m a fader, so I tee up on the right side and aim left. Course management is crucial to lowering scores. Using the cone strategy, i.e., Decade strategy is ideal for aiming. Cheers.

89 would be great for me, good round Chad, I’ve worked really hard to improve my putting, it’s important to have an area of your game you really enjoy when other parts are inconsistent.

Good golf is boring golf 😂 … fairways, greens, 2-putts Yeah, maybe recovery shots, scrambling, etc is more exciting, but … Which would you rather play? 🤔

Playing well off the tee and around the greens... putting is suspect at times but my iron play is ruining my rounds. My guy's are saying I'm coming over the top, causing lots of fat shots. Got to figure out my iron set up again 🏌️🤦‍♂️

Course management... it's the only way to play, now if I could just allow myself to do this🤷‍♂️

Let's freaking go Chad🏌️

I know you’re not really testing out different golf swings anymore but there’s a guy out there who actually promotes more of a cup with the lead hand. I know hack motion is a big thing now but this guy really breaks down the swing which goes against much of the mainstream teaching. czcams.com/video/9eBg0H99TSU/video.htmlsi=gARqZj3IYLJFSOi2

I think too many golfers ignore the benefits of a swing dominated by the lead side. Bobby Jones " I like to feel I'm making a backhand blow, with the right hand catching up with the left, only at impact." Ben Hogan on Jimmy Demeret," You can't supinate the left hand better than Jimmy, you get the image of lashing the ball with his left hand". Learn to hit it backhanded and the lag takes care of itself, the release takes care of itself, and timing takes care of itself. This type of swing is the very definition of " let the club do the work". This is how Phil Mickelson plays. Centrifugal Force. It's a backhanded game, this is why the glove is worn on the left hand. Google Augusta Golf Instruction "Swinging versus Hitting". It explains it all. Love your channel, you would make a great PGA pro.

wShauffelewhat is your swing speed?

So this isn't a lie or a myth it's two completely different mechanics you're referring to. Since you are swinging more of a rotational type of Swing you don't need to hold lag. The easiest way I can explain this is the plains of motion. The Classic golf swing or like the manual delatory stuff you're doing all those swings are transverse or purely rotational swinging in a barrel sort of thing where everything is about rotational forces torque the knee comes in toward the ball the lead heel lifts off the ground all of these to create rotation. That type of Swing requires no lag and if you want to you could even feel this throwing up thing you're talking about here or syncing up however you want to do it. By way of contrast though the modern golf swing the hips are not moving on the transverse plane they are moving on A sagittal plane! So more like a squat or a lunge it's extremely counterintuitive but the hips are getting deep or further away from the ball to create space for the arms and the Torso to turn etc. In That Swing model you can lag the club as far back as you want and create more and more speed. So it's not that holding lag or holding the angle is a lie it's just that it has to complement the mechanics of what the rest of the body is doing. So in a classic swing you can throw the club out there's no need for lag you can do a jack necklace is talking about and releasing from the top etc. Yet in a modern golf swing you have tons of space in the downswing and can hold the lag as long as possible Xander Shauffele

What is your swing speed with this swing?

So happy to hear about Mrs. GTD!!! Sometimes God says yes to prayers! Good to see you back.

Tempo greats rhythm and rhythm keeps the swing on the proper plain that should find the correct low point and that’s so important Good drills you suggested 👍

Good stuff Chad, some of the most satisfying rounds though are when you have to be scrappy and fight to score better than you’re hitting em, when your irons are a little off or you’re struggling off the tee, can you do a video about what helps you most in that mental part of the game

Another great video, Chad. Question on another topic. My white impact screen has developed holes in it from hitting real balls into it over the last 5 years. I've patched and sewn till I'm about ready to replace it. I notice yours has some slack in it. Can you give me any advice on how much slack is needed?

Nice tips and discussion on wrist dynamics. I think though that radial and ulnar deviation is lead wrist more or less uncocked in the purely upward/downward sense. Cheers.

I call them "golf truths" ... all great players do them. Good lesson, good explanation =)

Another valuable video, low point control a definite key to a quality swing. Cheers!!

Fantastic video, Chad. Absolutely agree with your fundamentals. Not a fan of training aids, but will definitely look into Hack Motion. Cheers.

Timing always wins. Good video. 👍

This must be why when I’m waiting in the Tee box to hit my ball, I’ll clip Daisies for a while because I’m bored…. and then follow that by hitting the best shot of the day.

God bless 🙏 To you and your family

Happy for you and your wife! Life gets in the way sometimes. We’ll be here when you get back

Thank you for all of your videos!! I really appreciate this one as well as you’ve tried so many different swings. Could you provide any additional basic drills? BTW, I practiced your advice and struck the ball the best ever in 8 years!!!!! Praying for your wife’s full recovery!

So happy to hear that life is looking up again! Listen, CZcams is an outlet for us and you are doing a great service for us. Keep up the great work!

I am very happy to hear that your wife is doing better and that you've been the man who does the right thing. I'm looking forward to whatever you publish. Your commentary and analysis are always welcome. Thank you, Joe, who is a better player because of your good work.

Good news and thanks to the almighty for your brides most excellent recovery and always…there’s power in prayer I agree with Chad …there comes a time when we turn off the camera but if you do get ready for withdrawals …don’t ask me how I know You’ll know when it’s time I agree with you again ….all it’s about is getting the face looking at the ball in the direction for what you want…and that’s it K.I.S.S. Hunker down for the weather and we’ll see you when we see it

Good to hear your wife is on the mend 😁 Keep it simple sounds like advice that would benefit most golfers Looking forward to some on course application Keep up the good work

Great hear about your wife awesome video we do complicate golf swing way too much love you're approach to the swing

Very glad to hear about your wife's great outcome! Also glad to hear that you're taking time for yourselves. Good basic instruction for getting some simple reward and pleasure from playing the game and not being lost in the weeds (metaphorically and actually) all the time. Cheers.

Congratulations on the wife’s diagnosis.

Glad to hear the good news about your wife. Family always comes first. Couldn’t agree with you more about the golf swing not being complicated. YT, golf magazines, TV, and golf coaches make it sound difficult because they need the bodies in order to make money. The hardest part of a golf swing is figuring out what works best for your body, rhythm, biomechanics and sequence. All of the technical positions are irrelevant. Like you said, focus on the truly fundamental principles and forget the rest of the noise. Golf is not that complicated, it is difficult to get good at, but not difficult to play. Once you got the fundamentals down, get your carry numbers for each club and then work on course management. After that, go have fun, remember, we’re not pros, we play because we like it. Cheers

Great chip tips

Like the stay in the lane theory!

Family first pal. I did my journey a couple of years ago. Prayers and best of health for your wife. Great video as well. My golf game is extremely simple, but very effective. I concentrate on 3 things: comfortable, repeatable and accuracy. My blow up score within the last 5 years was 86. (white tees). Keep up the good work. And trust me, you can make a video about changing a tire and still get views. You are a very personable guy and have a great way of speaking. Again, prayers to the wife and you for keeping the support for her.

Hi Chad, Thanks for what you shared. I agree. Based on what you shared, would you say if I wanted a method that required minimal practice and positions and swing thoughts- Shawn Clement would be the man? Is that the way to a simple repeatable swing? Or would you make it even simplier- just work on low point drills, face control and swing path direction with blur? And not worry about “over the top” as that will self- adjust? Sorry if that was too long. Thanks, John Solinger

Wonderful hope she stays healthy ! Stay positive and healthy !!

Don’t Stop. The world needs GTD. ❤

Happy to hear your wife is doing well. Perhaps some drills on your four fundamentals. Always enjoy your content.
