Yup, still going strong!

TY!!

There may be a very slight separation, but I don't even think about it honestly. I just want to make sure I get a full turn, so if that means my hips turn quite a bit, I simply let them (and this usually means I have to let my lead foot come off the ground a touch). I don't "fire" my hips on the downswing either. Rather, I try to let the downswing begin by first re-planting my lead foot and then unwind in a manner (that I feel anyway) that is unrushed. I know my swing looks violent, but you should have seen it before working with Brian Sparks! LOL!

@@amigopheasantkiller Haha, thank you for the response! Looking forward to my next range session. As someone who is having back problems, this is giving me hope. Do you know if this method matches up well with a hogan-esque grip? Or perhaps something with a stronger lead or trail hand? Thanks

Actually, the grip is one of the last things that these folks teach. The most important part is to allow your body to move freely and without tension. Once you feel like you've accomplished this, watch your ball flight. If it is leaking right, simply strengthen your grip, a touch. If it is hooking too much, then simply weaken it, as you probably well know. But again, I can't stress to you enough the importance to keep all tension out of your forearms, wrists, and shoulders.

When you make your actual swing, as opposed to when you're doing the danse du golf exercise, your head won't actually move as much as you see there. But by allowing the head to move a little bit, it'll relieve your tension and make it easier to swing the club. Your eyes do not need to be laser.Focused on the ball, but rather just have a general awareness of where it is. Brian Sparks had an exercise where he would have students hit balls with their eyes shut to prove this point. Trying to keep your head absolutely still in the golf swing is the worst advice you'll ever get. I encourage you to investigate Easiest Swing. I am an amateur handicap golfer like you, so it would be best to get actual advice from a professional. But I can tell you that I am a much better golfer since having switched to this method. Good luck!

lol!

nice dude... 😅

I personally have stuck with this for over 10 years now... I hope you find it useful!

Agreed! I was just trying to help folks who might not be able to afford one.

thank you!

cheers!

I don't really have much for you on this point. But because the Easiest Swing is primarily designed for the older golfer, it encourages folks not to be scared of standing a bit taller at address to take strain off of the back. As such, it makes sense that some might want to consider a longer club length....but I would expect no more than 1/2 inch to an inch. I personally do not have longer clubs, but I recently got fit and they flattened out my lie angles which really helped increase my greens in regulation. So that is perhaps the way to go.....get fitted by a professional. Even if you aren't prepared to shell out the $$ for new clubs, they could check your lie angles and grip size and work with the clubs you have. I know the guy I used said he could check and adjust lie angles for under $100. I'm glad you are finding success with this method. I've been a follower for a decade myself!

Thanks for your reply! I do plan to get fitted. I'm 62 and got hooked on golf a year and a half ago. I hit mostly hybrids The off brand Lazrus clubs. Except for wedges I play mostly 9 hole courses with a few long holes. Easier to hit the hybrids strait. However, the lie can't be changed on them. Shot 5 over the other day at a 9 hole with 4 par 4s using this method. Usually I'm a bogey golfer.

@victorrodriguez-yf9bo That's great! I like hybrids too...my longest iron is a 6.

lmy arms and wrists are loose, so feels free to me...

Facts!

My man!

You bet! I've been a staunch believer in this method for many years now.

Actually no....Im surprised

​​@@amigopheasantkillerWhichever end of the shaft is closest to ground points to the plane line which is not necessarily the target line. Out-in, in-out, club head path line. Club face represents 85% of initial direction. Difference between face and path determines curvature.

I'm but a humble student. :) Hope you had a good golf season!

I love the fact that I'd never have to deal with slow play.... But it doesn't compare to the real life challenges such as funky lies and that sort of thing.

@@amigopheasantkiller is it snowing where you live yet?

Not yet.... It is actually sunny and in the mid forties right now in SE minnesota

I'm actually playing golf for real tomorrow

Take my time to make a complete turn going back, and then letting everything "settle in" before unwinding. My swing shape is so far from correct that when I get "snatchy" from the top bad things happen. LOL

Actually got fit this year and got 1 degree flat...didnt expect that, but it feels great

@amigopheasantkiller ok, thanks. They always talk about standing taller so, I assume I would need more upright. I bent my 7 iron 2 degrees upright to test at the range.

slowly getting more confident...

Thank you for your comment. I also find this a very body friendly way to play golf. Not being afraid to move around a little bit makes it so much easier and enjoyable. Trying to torque yourself up to create power is a sure fire way to have a sore back. And frankly i'm as long as I have ever been, I don't buy into the comments that say they can't generate any power.... I can swing my driver over one hundred miles per hour when Im loose.... I expect some people would actually see a gain in distance because they get a bigger turn. Anyways, i'm rambling..... Good luck in your golfing career!

Actually I have to rely on my step back more than james harden.... Anything I take to the basket generally gets sent right back at me l o l

I've been following this method for many years and have reached my goal of single digit golf....I hope it helps you as much as it did me.

⁠@@amigopheasantkillerp

LOL....well I'm only 5'10" if I stand up straight, which I rarely do. And I'm over 200 lbs at the moment so my BMI chart calls me all sorts of nasty names. Yes, I'm a much better golfer since having discovered Brian....but don't let this Xgolf fool you, I don't trust the yardages....my driver IRL goes about 250 to 260ish total on good shots, and my 7 iron flies around 150 to 155 yards.

First, thank you for lying. I know it is an ugly, incorrect swing, but I appreciate your kindness! :) I am using the Skytrak monitor...it costs about $2K, though that should be going down soon as a newer model is coming out this year. The game software is The Golf Club 2019. To use it with Skytrak it costs $100 per year for their Game Improvement package, plus what you pay for the software (annual license vs. lifetime purchase). I went with the $900 lifetime purchase as the annual fees were crazy high. Plus you need a good laptop to process all this stuff. By the way, you don't NEED the software, Skytrak comes with a driving range and various skill programs, you don't even need the $100 package. The basic driving range and analytical stuff is built into the purchase price only. The software simply lets you play "actual" golf on courses. Yes, I'm still a true believer. In fact, I'm a member of their online community called the Easiest Swing Club. Monthly fee. You can Google that and find it and check it out if you like. Don't misunderstand me, I still work on tweaks in my swing, but I never stray from Brian Sparks's (RIP) original six principles of turning, weight shift, coordination, balance, rhythm, and relaxation (souplesse). Too many people think the Easiest Swing teaches you HOW to swing a club....rather, it is meant to allow you to swing your very own swing. So every Easiest Swing follower should have completely different looking swings. It's been several years now, and I still follow Brian's method to this day.

@@amigopheasantkiller Let be real, we're not PGA tour pro. Yes, it might be ugly but it was effective and effortless. That's what it matters. I recently came across ES, tried its souplesse and already see the immediate result...hit my 5 iron off the tee without any issue. Anyway, I just ordered the book and will definitely join the club later. Thank you again for your response.

😂😂😂

Loved your comments. My fitter actually had me standing right there when he checked these things and was bending clubs. But I agree with you, I once went to a different place to check the lofts on my wedges....they didn't do so hot. My new fitter showed me where my lofts were...I was so mad. Anyways, he has me sorted. He was able to bend my PING G425s. In fact, he did it right there and I saw immediate improvement in my ball striking. I needed new shafts too, so since the cost was going up I decided to move into the Mizuno JPX 923 Hot Metals (standard version, not the high launch or pro version). But neither the G425s or the JPXs are forged.....However, the JPXs feel MUCH better than the G425s. While those were good clubs for sure, off center hits made me feel like killing myself. Felt and sounded horrible. LOL I thought about getting a machine myself until I saw how expensive they were!!

@@amigopheasantkiller Good you found a reputable guy, just looked up the Mizuno JPX923 irons, they look great.

@@jteddy11 Mizuno just makes great looking / feeling clubs...my driver, 3 wood, and hybrids are still Ping and i still luv em... what do u play?

@@amigopheasantkiller I have some used Mizuno MP59's (that need lies adjusted lol), I buy all my stuff used usually Ebay or I make it, that way I do not have buyers remorse, lol. I have re-shafted a set of Ping irons, still do not like them. Just starting my Easiest Swing journey with some Mehlhorn and Shave sprinkled in. Just got the book Positive Impact Golf, used off Ebay, and it is signed, do not know if Brian Sparks signed all of his books but it was a nice surprise.

@@jteddy11 that's awesome...my pings were second hand too, they worked just fine...i splurged :)

You bet! Hope you stick with it!

Actually, I'm in rural Minnesota. You might have guessed New York because of a video where I interviewed a fellow Easiest Swing golfer who happened to be from New York....he flew into Minnesota for a week session with Brian Sparks, who ended up being blocked by customs because he did not have a proper "work" visa. What a downer! So we cancelled the training session, but Eric still flew out to play a week of golf in Minny.

The Golf Club 2019 with Skytrak Have you played the actual course? Hole 6 is glitched, but wondering about the accuracy overall

@@amigopheasantkiller only played it on Playstation 2k21. Haven't been able to make the trip across the pond to play there.

@@brianlhenaff383 i do have 2k23 on ps4, i will have to see if its there
