    This video came at the perfect time! I'm currently struggling with a major hook. It appeared 2 weeks ago and I can't get enough videos on how to correct! Thanks again for another great video.

    I have been golfing for only 4 years thanks to my father in-law and I'm 48 years old, watching these scratch golf videos have helped me to figure out my swing and the mechanics of it. So far i have figured out my irons and hybrids but i am still trying to get the driver under control and that's why I'm watching today because i figured out after 4 years it is my open face on the driver and nothing else. I watch your videos and then practice in my yard with hit away balls i buy on eBay. I went from 105 110 scores to 90s and now starting to see some mid 80s. So thankyou for your classes and your knowledge.

  • @michaelmunin5819
    @michaelmunin5819 Před 3 lety +1

    Adam, love your videos that have really helped me! Quick question: when developing lag at the top of the backswing with narrowing of the shaft as you demonstrated with Rory, is it just a passive feel or are you actively trying to do this?

    • @Scratchgolfacademy
      @Scratchgolfacademy  Před 3 lety +1

      Thanks Michael.
      Ultimately you'd like it to be passive, but you may have to key on it to get going. Certainly I'd avoid 'faking it' with the wrists.
      Hope this helps, Adam

    7:54 - 8:30, The “feeling” of fall down and then body turn squaring clubface... that’s part of my pre-shot routine and it’s the best thing I’ve found in years to help maintain good feel while on course. I mean I know legs lead and hips will beat arms thru impact but the fall and turn “feel” IS my golf swing.

  • @canuck_gamer3359
    @canuck_gamer3359 Před rokem +3

    I'm a life long athlete and although I am fairly new to golf (at least taking it more seriously), one aspect of mental training that I learned years ago that applies really well to golf is to never begin with a "whatever you do, don't do this" kind of thought. When we do that, we have planted a negative thought in your minds before we start our technique and it's just a huge mistake. Use the reverse, focus on something positive and use that thought instead. Adam mentions that in the video and I just wanted to throw my two cents in on that very worthwhile topic!

    Interesting video. I usually think about the swing with the club head on the ground, sometimes I wait and think for a minute. And then - a bad shot. For me this is history now. Just swing!

  • @jcgolf159
    @jcgolf159 Před 3 lety +1

    The problem with attaining 'subconscious skill' and playing around a little bit is most people don't have much skill to work with and whatever it is they may play around a little bit with is simply wrong. Spending hours practising the wrong technique is all wasted time, and the majority of people don't know what or how to practise so all they're doing is ingraining bad habit and likely going home frustrated with their golf swing because once they're on the course nothings changed: been there, done that many times myself. I felt the real lesson of this video started shortly after the 8 minute time mark and what was provided was glossed over. Well, like I said, this is one video. I'm sure you've covered the specific technique(s) many times over many videos over many years. And by reading comments on here it helped a few out. Small steps I guess, we eventually hit the green~

    • @Scratchgolfacademy
      @Scratchgolfacademy  Před 3 lety +1

      No doubt people (most people) need coaching and feedback to make real progress. That said gaining subconscious skill is still a factor, at least in my opinion./

    Struggling with a spin issue with my driver Callaway Rogue currently. I hit my 3 wood better an further cause I get a little draw with that club. I have a little mental block going on the teebox right now. Swings over the top with it might have to go spend some time at the range today :)

    • @randywolf4731
      @randywolf4731 Před 3 lety

      Sean other factors might be the shaft in your Rogue driver meaning shaft length, weight, shaft flex and finally the driver loft. Have you been fitted properly? The 3 wood is shorter, smaller head and higher loft meaning it's easier to square up the face on impact. It might not be the operator but the equipment that is causing you the spin issues. Good Luck

  • @wrbutler3681
    @wrbutler3681 Před 3 lety +1

    At the beginning of the video you suggest a 'strong' grip. There seems to be a lot of debate whether this is OK or not. You think a 'strong' grip is OK, right? Love your videos, I really appreciate your instruction.

    • @Scratchgolfacademy
      @Scratchgolfacademy  Před 3 lety

      Thanks WR.
      The grip is optional, but for most people a little on the stronger side (left hand especially) is easier for them.
      I hope this helps.

    Enjoy your content. You present a pragmatic approach and keep from getting too technical. Would like to ask if you could do a lesson for the tall golfer. I have problems staying on plane with lots of contact inconsistencies and unable to stay down during impact. Help!

    • @Scratchgolfacademy
      @Scratchgolfacademy  Před 3 lety

      Thanks, and I hear your comment. I'd say, though, that the club is still what is, no matter who is holding it. Id try to do your best to deliver the club through impact as best as you can, and not overthink (admittedly I haven't seen you swing) things.

      Injuries are always a possibility in sports, but there is nothing about this that makes a golfer extra prone to injury.
