Money.

His swing is so up right but never crosses the line

Lee Trevino, extreme open set-up, was 5'6" - and he hit it far enough

What is the “chop move” and should we be doing it ?

Thanks John for your website & videos. I am just starting down this path today (after finding the cure in the dirt 'by accident') and have yet to receive your book. One easy question: for the standard straight shot, do your shoulders also align open in line with the feet - or to target line? Thanks, Steve (New Zealand)

Open stance with a slightly open clubface to hit the ball straight and eliminate fats & thins ???

Jesus is God 🥰

F the golf swing, learn how acoustics work.

proceeds to thin the living daylights out of it.

Looks like 80’s p orn

Tits Litzke . Walked in a very distinctive way. One of a kind!

Followed Bruce one year when they played the LA Open at Rancho Park....couldnt believe hi9s shot shape...It wasnt a fade it was a total slice but he knew where it was going every time.

After all these years his swing is still so silky.

I've seen a few other golfers that have similar technique in their golf swing. The one thing they all have in common at this level, is they are all tall or powerful in build. It is a very compact repeatable swing, with very little moving parts. The only issue would be for shorter golfers who would have trouble picking up swing speed and distance with the shorter back swing. But the technique is great for scoring irons and shorter shots around the green.

Sometimes, didn't play because he was fishing. Class act

I agree but explanation was much too detailed. Golf stance to open should be done in minut increments. The brain will adapt in time.

Good lesson. Thanks

i have a tendency to open my stance as i use the 7,8,9 onwards, it gives me greater accuracy, and i find it aids me stopping the ball.

he dropped a sick club twirl

Yes kids that’s how it’s done!

Followed him for a few holes at Doral in mid 90s. He played a 40 yard banana off the tee, but it went where he wanted it to.

just found your channel - been standing open for forty years and playing a draw

Straighter than train smoke

Does your body line up square to the target & stance is open or does your body lines match your open stance line? Thank you & great video.

He shanked the divot.😅

Bruce’s swing is very Freddie like. Smooooth.

How to hit a high fade 1.01

I been golfing that way naturally

What kind of lie do you have to have to reliably use this shot?

Speaking begins around the 7:15 mark

Could you please explain your opinion on ball position with woods and irons with the open stance. Thanks

open stance cured my inside takeaway and my chicken wing

very similar to marcus edblad swing, His is open ,ball back a bit has a controlled draw, his is the closest to my own swing. In the passed I have always used an open stance with my short game, wedges, pitching and 9 i. , now after watching Marcus I can do driver as well. Thanks, TOSA, for explaining it as you do.

I can set up wide open or dead closed and NEVER hit a shank! You must understand swing path! Without swing path knowledge, an open or closed stances, potentially have the dreaded shank results!!! TRUST ME! PH D. IN THE FIELD OF THE SHANK!! I hit them for 30yrs. Now 67, I have the best swing of my golf career and weep for those hitting shanks.

I was constantly hitting behind the ball with my irons, a recent problem that occurred after I healed up from a severe shoulder injury. While hitting practice balls, I found it necessary to move the ball back in my stance to avoid thin and/or fat shots. After some more body alignment work, I found myself hitting better shots with an open stance. This video golf lesson validates my experience 100%.

My friend noticed my feet are aimed way right while my club is faced towards the target and when I did line up correctly even a little open it felt like I was aimed way left. Going to be weird getting my body used to it but the shanks have got me bad this year coming across the ball really bad I wonder if this is part of the reason

Am a big fan of your "open Stance " John, however I don't agree with this theory on ball position. The position of the body as related to the ball must be from the line of the heals, as these are what the body stands on, whatever the position of the toes!

What if you didn't use your body consciously, and instead move the club the way you want to move it, and simply allow the body to relax and only respond to what you are doing with the club? It appears to me your mishits are all a function of the lower body movement interrupting your otherwise great motion. This is a bit of a throwback to Ernest Jones and Manny de la Torre, but I have seen proof of this. When I was a kid, we had a friend who had braces from his knees to his ankles, and he played golf with us. He couldn't use his hips or legs, he could only stand there and swing. He took the club back, pointed it to the sky, let the heavy clubhead fall and it would shallow right into the slot every frickin time. His dad would take him in a cart to play with us, and you could not beat him. He hit just as far as we did and he almost never missed a shot. He hit the prettiest little draw on with every club and would shoot low 70s when he was 15. Fast forward two years later, his knees/legs were healed and braces came off. Within a year, and getting move the hips, clear the left side, drive the legs etc "instruction", he couldn't break 80. I have often put my feet close together and copied his braces swing, and it always comes off beautifully.

Shot best round of my life (by about 6 strokes) by opening up. Always been a draw player but find baby cuts a much better strategy for me. Stumbled upon this video as the second time I tried the open stance technique, I was losing a lot to hard slices rather than that nice little fade. Is the lesson in this video that with the open stance the ball needs to be farther FORWARD in the stance to compensate for the adjustment?

Talking feet

Fred Couples... 295 yard drive over 60 years old... why do i suck?

You appear to be set up square.

He's open at address because he plays a fade that's easier on the back.

Just out of curiosity, what would be your normal yardage for a full 4-iron, versus a knockdown 4-iron? I'm 53, and at 40 could hit my blade 4-iron about 215 and land it soft. Now I can barely bounce and roll my cavity-back 4-iron 200. I've never thought of trying to knock one down, though. My other comment is that, to quote Ben Hogan, "the secret is in the dirt." I applaud your efforts at finding it.

I was taught this 25 years ago by John Mason at Encinitas Ranch. I recently went back and looked at some video as I was struggling as I've aged and had some left (lead) shoulder issues, as well as Parkinson's, which some days restricts my rotational mobility. I was on the range today and went back to what used to be an old standby, the open stance. Now I have a feeling of freedom through the ball. My reacent teacher had me trying to shallow out and I jsut couldn't do it physically until I opened my stance a bit. Thanks for explaining and giving a refresher.

What about wedges ? How would we set up to hit wedges in tht open stance

It doesn't look open to me ?

Jims closed stance,but move the ball abit right,this pleases all.

Are your clubs upright, seems like it on video, also do you swing along the body line? Any special hand action coming thru impact, right under left to fade it?

sweet video. Love seeing Rickie swinging the club well
