J - I've watched literally tens of thousands of golf videos, and yours are by FAR the BEST! I only came across your videos a few weeks ago, but have already made exceptional progress with your tips and drills. Thank you so much for your devotion to the golfing commmunity!
Great video lesson. I had that exaggerated bump that eventually caused left side pain so bad that I couldn’t swing at all.I watched your lessons and noticed the straightening left leg through impact.I have no pain when I do the same. It would be a great topic to discuss what NOT to do in order to avoid injuries. Thanks!
Great drill. This drill has done wonders for my short game oddly. Really gets me great hands ahead Chips and pitches
I didn’t have time to try this on the range, but used the finish position on the course as a rehearsal after my practice swing. My strike was considerably better. Thanks for the tip.
exactly the sort of thing I was looking for.... Can't wait to try it out!
Tried the drill today. Could not hit my hybrid with the half swing. I topped it again and again. But the first full swing!!!! I swear!!! I have never hit my hybrid like that. I could not feel hitting the ball. It was like cutting trough butter. What a drill! 😊
Awesome!
I was doing this drill and I was killing it! Then I watched too many videos and the information got pushed out of my old brain. I need to do this again!!
Great to hear the drill was helping!
Got that malware in those neural pathways. Lol. Same here. 😊
terrible communication talk.. totally confusing..NEED TO LEARN EFFECTIVE SKILLS. YOU UNDERSTAND YOURSELF
Yes, “all” the voices screaming at you during your swing. I hear you bro!
Jonathan, just for reference, could you please share with us this gentleman's clubhead speed with his driver and also how far he carries the golf ball with his driver? - Thank You!🙂
Hi.great drill but how would you modify it for driver, where impact position does not have such a shaft lean? Thanks.
I employed this drill in my practice session today using wedges and 9 iron for about an hour. Did not count the number of swings made, but it was many dozens.
This drill provides new feels for a higher handicap seeking to improve contact. It focused me on where I'm supposed to be at impact.
Over the course of practice I noted that while thin and fat did not disappear, those imperfections were greatly reduced.
I could sense reprograming beginning to occur when I made full swings from standard P 1 as it supplies a target reference point to get to, that over an hour began to reprogram things.
No question this drill took me to a new place. Very cool and will be my focus in practice going forward as based on today, new discoveries await.
Thanks J.
Ok commentators and others reviewing comments here,; today I went back to the well....and found it filled with new sensations and the beginings of comprehension.
It's hot and humid for my NE neck of the woods, so I only struck about 40 shots which started with about 5 sand irons, all preset impact position swings. Moved to 50 degree and until around ball 30 all were preset impact position swings . I found more left shoulder expansion and overall extension along my left side, more opening up.
There were maybe 8 clunkers, most were thin, 1 was fat., but many of the presets were strongly struck, and reinforcement was definitely occurring. Only 1 full shot, at about ball 30, and smoke compressed it. Went back to the drill for the rest of the balls.
Lots of teachers sell speed of learning following their emphasized points, but if you have done it wrong hundreds of thousands of times you are not going to transform overnight. There are new muscles and anatomical structures in play. It is a reprograming.
So that understood, this is a process, and I respect J's emphasis that this may take months and thousands of reps. I felt new sensation and progress on that path today and know I will have to stick this out to ingrain a permanent replacement. The bottom line to me is fixing a problem I could not solve via other efforts, so if this drill makes me a more consistent ball striker 6 months from now, then it's a superb teacher.
J thanks again, and I trust others will realize that if you want to get much better one has to do the right things, and stick with it. This preset impact drill is a definite improver, in spades.
Can you explain the difference between the hip sway you cleared up for this guy and the hip shift you recommend in the 'ball forward' drill. I know you are not contradicting yourself - I just struggle understanding the difference between the two. Thanks
I use this setup as my 1-80 yard approach shots, I find it extremely accurate. It simplifies the movements, as he mentions, great low point control and I have more focus on tempo and direction. Which improves scoring… I am much more confident in my short game and up/down %. I have never thought about using this concept to improve my full swing compression, but I do know with my longer irons and especially driver, I don’t have 90% of my weight on that front foot at impact. Can’t wait to try it!
Really liked this drill have been killing my irons with this and so consistent
Is this drill for driver also… I’ve been working on this drill with pitching wedge… This feels weird at first but now it is helping me get to the ball where I should be before releasing the club. I understand the rotation. Thanks for this video. If it takes me 6 months I’ll keep working on it.
Great Video!!
Love the way you show it,but its so difficult
Thank you coach. I literally wanted to throw my clubs away after hacking at the ball today during my practice session. Sounds silly but this video gave me a bit of hope and structure to be disciplined and rep useful drills as opposed to swinging aimlessly during a practice session. Thank you again.
Question about ulnar deviation - impact position has ulnar in the trail hand, when you turn back for the drill do you leave the ulnar in?
I think this is the best video I’ve found. I went into the back yard and hit into the net and every shot was pure. No divots.
Out of all the “experts” I haven’t seen anyone simplify the proper swing. Just gotta remember to stay connected
That’s a good one!
Congratulations on 70,000 subscribers, Jonathan!
Thanks for all the continued support Milorad!

Your welcome!
Keep up the great work!
thanks
If I can master beginning my swing from the impact position, what then is the advantage of going back to addressing the ball normally?
Jonathan would you say that leading with your hip turn is a key component to lagging the club in this move to compress the ball?
It sure is. I’ve got a video coming out next week exactly about that 👍🏼
Not a fan of the tagline but I do like this drill a lot. Thanks!
I've tried this before but I think I've got a Hip issue. Is there something else you can do if you have an ailing Hip? Thanks
Hi I’m new to your channel. I tried this drill but really struggled with contact. Is this normal for this drill. How Doyle bring the club back
I've tried many drills from the "experts" on YT and this is the best drill by far i've tried that instantly increased my accuracy and distance. My ball flight was higher than i've ever hit as well, which will help me hold more greens with longer irons. I don't like or comment on many YT videos but this one deserves it. Well done sir!
Looks like a drill I need. When you start the drill with your half backswing, it looks almost the same as your full swing, or is it just the camera angle.
Yeah it looked exactly the same to me.
Can you do a face on view of that drill and front? Trying to understand how the legs are set and the shoulders.
Theres a still image of the drill from the front on with how to set everything up 👍🏼
What is ‘compression’?
Whenever I try this drill it feels like my swing gets very short and quick. I notice your tempo in the demo is also very quick, though probably normal for you. Is the impact position for driver the same and will this drill help with that club?
Sorry if this is a little off topic, but what do you personally feel to make sure you’re making a “full” and “deep enough” backswing? Sometimes i think this is the $1M question. Does it relate to your left shoulder getting over your right foot, getting your hips turned at least 45-60 degrees? How do you make sure you’re making a sufficiently long and deep enough backswing without it feeling manufactured and losing the built up torque at the top?
If your hands are deep, then the lead arm has the support of the body behind it. When the chest unturns the inertia of the arm will load against it. You will feel more stress if anything from a deeper position. The chest will apply more torque on the arm not less.
But you have to do some ‘work’ with the lead arm in the downswing and the straightening right arm assists this and gets it off the chest.
Otherwise you end up pivoting with the lead arm relatively pinned back and arms trapped and low point back and swing direction pointing more out. The latency in the human reaction time, the ‘transition’ loading and the mass and weight of the left arm means you have to stimulate that action of right arm straightening from the ‘top’ of the swing. Conceptually. To assist with bringing the low point ahead of the ball.
Just do the drills as he is advocating, verify what it looks like, and it feels what it feels like. Feel changes. Can’t build a golf game based on someone else’s feels. ‘Turn left shoulder over right foot’ is not a ‘feel’, that’s a command to a body part. That’s proven to be the worst way to develop a motor skill.
Over time you may find several ‘feels’ that emerge consistently and represent your version of good mechanics. Then you reproduce the feel and it reproduces the motor program.
If you want to be coachable - do what he is telling you. Just do it. Don’t question it. Verify you are doing it. It feels what it feels like.
To me, the back swing is kind of a personal ability/flexibility thing. I believe Jchowngolf has a video where he is hitting an 8 iron 166, with a quarter to half swing. I have friends (we are old) that have very short back swings, maybe half swings, and hit the ball plenty long and straight. With this drill don’t get too ridged, especially the left arm and shoulder and wrists, good luck
Worked on this at the range today and could feel a significant gain in compression, but my launch angle was reduced below anything acceptable. Any thoughts?
wrong shafts for you?
Do you ever suggest using that position at address??
When I do this, get into this position, square my club face to the target and then grip the club, when I come back to normal stance, my club face is really closed. Is this normal?
Great drill. What club do you recommend using for this drill?
Thanks Michael. Any club will be fine. 8,7 or 6 are usually preferred
@@jchowngolf Thank you for the quick reply. Your videos are great.
Should the lead shoulder be as open as possible at setup for this drill?
Now I know why my lower back hurts after a range session.
Would you do lessons with someone online? And how much would it be?
Absolutely. All my lessons are done online. There’s a link in the description 👍🏼
Thank you. At the end of the video. I heard about your app you have for online training 😂
Pull hips back and then hips forward.
Less about old bad swings and more about the drill
Great video but isn't the older guy demonstrating early extension? Watch his head at impact.
Matthew Wolf........
i'm confused. you talk about not wanting the low point behind the ball, but then you show him swinging the driver. don't you want the low point of the driver club head to be behind the ball and catch the ball on the way up?
I think it’s just that his student had only sent him a driver video.
😁👍
Thanks Milorad!
No no, Speed comes from Arms and Hands, Old School
😬
Of course it will probably screw up your driver.
Not at all. It helped his driver tremendously. The video is just more dedicated to irons. Do it with driver too
