This coach is so charismatic! Fun to hear his thoughts compared to other coaches
Great breakdown of the fundamentals so I can record myself and know what to look for.
I think your entire series is outstanding. Learning fundamentals from coaches is a massively huge leap forward in your progression. I never had coaching until I was already playing for like 5 years or so and even then it wasn't much individual coaching as it was through a golf school. You are certainly accelerating progress and helping lots of other people along the way. Well done on something new in the world of golf on CZcams!!
Jerome I hope I don't sound like a broken record here, but I'll say it anyways, what Rick sessinghaus is teaching you is incredibly important. The idea of using the ground > getting to lead side > into a balanced finish, the fundementals of golf. When new golfers start out they always use their arms to generate power. But what makes Rick different from your other coaches, besides the fact that this dude has collin morikawa under his belt is, he's trying to teach you feels that you produce within your body while going through the fundementals. And its going to be key in repeating those feels every time you swing. Bro you're killing it out there man, keep it up.
First off, your videos are top notch, production quality is pure class. There are 3 pillars to developing a game capable of scratch - 1 - understanding of how the "club" (head and handle relationship) needs to interact with ball in time and space, 2 - how the club moves relative to your body (plane, pitch, lag, twist, droop, pressure), 3 - optimizing how your body then moves relative to the strike (GRF, spine engine, muscle, skeletal). you are working on lvl 3 material when you haven't even mastered the first 2 pillars. I have been down this road for close to 2 decades and I like many millions of people can attest that working on moving your body is akin to learning to drive a car and not understand how to use a steering wheel and just focusing using rear view camera. Even in this video your concept of impact is way off base. there is no attempt to leverage your club, no wrist hinge, your clubs are toe down. you are blessed with a great physique, great power and speed, but all that athleticism is being hampered by poor mechanics. its apparent you have the time and financial means to pursue scratch, and if that is the case why not start like all the greats. Play, learn, enjoy the game as a kid. learn to play curve, chip, flop shots, strike the ball in the direction you are facing, how does a 8 yr old start out golfing to develop his/hers skills, would they ever worry about their hips and lower body?
As someone who just started literally a month ago, these videos have saved me hundreds if not thousands. In person coaching is obviously best but these a world renown coaches id otherwise never have access too here in Texas. Keep scratchin’ at scratch!
nothing beats getting ur own coach watching youtubes videos dont work that much long term
:) was 100% my intention! Let's all get there together
You still need a coach.
I love learning from Rick!!
What a great fundamental coach. Love seeing that even the pros practice fundamentals. Great patience and explanation
Really really good instruction here. This covered my biggest problem I have right now. Can't wait to go practice these. Ty for this content
Congratulations, what a fantastic coach and thanks for giving us access to this.
This is what I’ve been working on. And this coach just explains it so well. Great video.
Rick is great. Looking forward to the next video! Let's go!
This is pretty spot on to where I’m at in my golf journey , so this video helped a lot
Another great video, Jerome. Looking forward to more videos with Rick. He is great for your channel because he is very animated in his explanations which gives us viewers something more visual to practice and learn from in comparison to the other coaches.
Jerome! This is unlocking so much for me! Thank you man!
Thats amazing to hear :)
This coach is incredible!!!
Great video guy's well done
Very important instruction, and I am still trying to accomplish this lower body movement.
Awesome video series! Having my kids watch your journey and especially learning the FUNDAMENTALS to enjoying the greatest game😀
That is awesome!
Great instruction video tips
Wow! That was an excellent video with Rick. I can't help it, but am really curious to know how people get to that "next level" separation where the lower body fires during the backswing. I hope he takes you there and we get to see it!
Ricks incredible 👏 great to hear his theories 👍🍺
Love what your doing and the information you are not only willing to share but able to share with the coaches you've worked with. My only question is would this information (bump then turn) transfer from iron to woods to driver?
This is why too long of range sessions can hurt you more than help you! 2 hours in, you just want to see some good ball flight, so you start making compensations with the hands, maybe lose track of what your main focus is, start engraining bad habits. Like Rick said, 25-30 reps of one thing, then take a break and move on to the next thing. Go a step further - after each bucket of balls on the range, go practice some short game for 30mins or so, drink some water and relax for a bit, then go back to the range refreshed and refocused!
Couldn’t agree with this more. I’ve commented this in past videos and got roasted by people saying that tour pros hit a lot of balls.
Hank Haney describes this specifically in his book the big miss when talking about Tiger practicing new movement patterns. He specifically said Tiger would hit about 25 shots and sit down and reflect upon what he was working on to further engrain it in his mind.
I agree. I believe this could be applied to a whole host of other things. I'm learning guitar at the moment. Not great at playing but working on something for a long time deters of getting better. Figuring something out takes time of course but need rest or work on something else. Take a break then come back to the original thing you are working on then bingo it becomes easier.
Wow u just talked about me some days at the range!!! I go to work on thing next thing u know I'm playing with my hands after working on the same thing way to many times!! Helpful tip to drill in my head and routine 🙏
this coach is so much better how he simplifies everything
I feel you bro, same journey, exact same lol
Hey Jerome. You are doing some really good work bro. Where is Rick Located on SoCal?
Twisting ankles and feet, it's me 😢😢😢😢😢 love the coach
Oh bummer I miss the old coach! I used so many of tips in my game. This guy seems pretty good though.
good content dude. Id like the audio to be a little better though the video itself seemed quiet so I turned up the volume. Then the outro music was very loud. Not a huge deal just thought id point it out
Thanks for the feedback :)
Which club are you using for this drill
Those hip twists independent of shoulder rotation was so incredibly satisfying to watch. I tried... did you?
Rights knee to left nice feel
Great session but I’m always confused on the “don’t worry where the ball goes” ? When do you get concerned where ball goes?
I've always said I'd much rather hit the ball out the center of the clubface pure and end up in the woods, than I would strike it poorly and end up close to the hole... From my perspective, I wouldn't worry about where the ball goes until you can strike it in the center of the clubface very consistently...
Obviously when you're playing in a serious round or a tournament you concern yourself with where the ball goes, but even then it's still 2nd fiddle to strike.
just my 2 pennies ✌
Rick looks like Freddy Couples. Change my mind.
Can I too take a lesson from him?
Check out the description! Rick has a lot of online resources for everyone to check out :)
@@JeromeRufin thanks!
What is your handicap at this moment?
He doesn’t have one yet, although he’s played 9 hole courses and is usually +20 after 9 holes
I’d say he’s 20-25 HCP
@@kingkoopa6he hasn’t even broken 100 on an executive course. He’s at least a 40+ handicap
Could be like upper 30 if he doesnt have a bad day on his recent advances if he just plays super safe and smart @@92SAITO92
@@kingkoopa6he’s got to be higher than that
Love the series but please learn how to carry your bag.
The ultimate goal of what he is teaching you to do is not really made clear. You want your belly to be turn through impact on a plane that is quite similar to the plane that the shaft is travelling on. Because you are moving targetward as you come through, so then also is the lower abdomen so you need to synch up lateral hip motion and turn while keeping the lower abdomen in the right range (distance from the ball) and plane as it turns through the shot. Since people have strength in different areas of their legs and core, this can be different for different people.
There is also somewhat of a swing plane dependancy because people's body proportions are different and this can cause natural tendencies for variation in the planes of their swings. Hogan famously had very long arms for his frame and favored a flat plane for his release. Also the strengths of people's bodies make them have tendencies as well since some like to pull the club around from behind them (Mcilroy) and some like to drive the club through more in front of them (Morikawa) and some are more balanced (Cameron Champ).
All of these plane variations affect what the ideal plane of the motion of the lower abdomen is but it's motion should synch up with the individual tendency. For most people, especially as they swing faster and harder, there will be a need to get the lead oblique(and even the belly itself) somewhat low in the transition in order to balance out the natural tendency for the belly to pop up and around quickly as the weight moves targetward and quick rotation takes place through impact. This combination of motions allows the belly to travel in the right plane through impact.
Your natural tendency seems to be that you have a very strong lead hip turn and I could see that you were fighting that in the video. Fast hips are great but you have to balance the motion with lateral drive and keep the belly from just moving horizontally around too quickly in transition. So you need to feel like you get into a squat/sitdown motion into your lead hip as your weight starts shifting to the lead side and feel like your lower abdomen drops in general and that your lead oblique stays lower than the trail one to about lead arm parallel on the way down and then you can turn rapidly staying down and pop up to kiss the knees for the finish. You can test this by attaching an alignment rod or something like that to your waist area on plane with your belly button and practice getting the belly move well into pre-impact. You look like more of a Morikawa driver of the club than a Mcilroy puller of it to me which means that the arms will ideally like to come down steeply and more in front of you so that means, if you agree with that assessment, that you will definitely want to work on keeping the lower abdomen low and have it moving steeply (lead oblique low) into pre-impact which facilitates a motion like Morikawa's. I hope that it helps. Cheers.
I MAY BE IN THE MINORITY ..... BUT SOMETIMES TOO MUCH INPUT FROM TOO MANY SOURCES IS NOT A GOOD THING...DO YOU REALLY WANT TO ADD THAT MANY MORE SWING THOUGHTS??
The fastest way to become a scratch golfer is to have 14 different coaches.
Maybe he's trying new coaches until he finds a perfect fit? 🤷🏾♂️
Id say putting in A LOT of time and effort with consistent feedback from various experts.
He said by any means necessary lol
There’s always a few jackasses in the comment section. Looks like you’re the first today
This is a perfect way to be terrible at golf and completely confuse yourself. If you want to be like good golfers do what good golfers do. Follow their process. Just about every high-level player has one source of feedback which would be represented by one coach. Unless he had a separate short-game coach which is completely different mechanically. I'm not saying I have a bias or anything like that I'm just saying factually based on evidence Rory had the same coach throughout his whole childhood so did Jack Nicklaus soda tiger so did Xander schauffele and on and on and on. Yet the reverse is true if you look at facts also the golfers that jump from coach to coach or the ones that are confused and generally fall out of the game.
Watch Collin morikawas swing in slow motion. His hands roll over immediately after impact. There is always timing in golf swing.
I question your effort to improve. A week of short game practice and no bunker practice what about putting
. I’ll give you some inspiration. You will quit long before you ever break 80.
This guys is going about things completely the wrong way. Learn the fundamentals - grip, alignment, posture. Then practice short game PW and under and putting.
Geezus... listen to me... hip turn so that the hips are "open" when you contact the ball is achieved when you straighten out the left leg. When you snap the leg straight it pushes the left hip back and around, opening the hips... if you time the left leg snap (straightening) with the striking of the ball.. thats all the "feels" you need. Say it with me.... left leg snaps straight as i contact the back of the ball with the club head.... the coach stood next to you and asked you to push your hip into him as you rotated your hip.. as you're rotating your hip look at your F'KING left leg !! It snaps straight... hip turn is just you straightening your goddamn left leg. Its that simple... in your head.. just say "snap attack".... which means.. snap the left leg straight as you attack the back of the ball.. SNAP ATTACK... SNAP ATTACK..
Someone missed their yoga class this morning
@@joshualara8944😂😂😂
Don’t waste your time. He’s already paying for high end coaches why would be listen to anyone in his comment sections. We’re just here to encourage him and call him out when he says something dumb.
Wrong, tour players retain a somewhat bent left leg at impact
No offense but you are wasting your time with these concepts. You don’t have consistent control of the clubface with your hand and arm movements and these things will never change that. Go back to work on mastering grip and setup and not letting the clubface open on backswing or downswing then come back to him.
That’s the point of this lesson, to minimize the over compensation of his hands in the swing with the introduction of the hips. The coach even said he has a very good understanding of the basics. Were you even watching?
I honestly have to agree. It feels like this level of coach and concepts are too much for him right now. You can tell by his questions and answers to questions. However, I love the videos because it's like getting a free lesson from one of the best coaches out there. I think seeing so many coaches and getting all these different ideas in your head with no consistency is actually holding him back, but to each their own.
@@DarinTheAlmighty “we’re you even watching?” Seriously? That’s unnecessary. He rolls the clubface open on backswing. No amount of tour body movements is going to fix that.
That coach is teaching EXACTLY WHAT I TOLD YOU to do in another video... dude... take the time to read my comments below...
His channel isn't about reading youtube comments and trying to implement them, save your effort man.
😂
So if I comment incorrect advice above you should he also listen to that? How would he know which comment to listen to?
