Adam, in my opinion you are the best instructor that I have veiwed for the average golfer. Love your short videos. They right to the point and easy to understand.
Really good video i loved the practice idea of hitting up a slight incline for your driver abd hitting on a decline with your irons to encourage the right action... i'll get out there and try that!
Adam's suggestions are so clear and easy to follow which is such a big help. My game has certainly improved in terms of consistency. The scores have improved but I have more work to do before there is a marked difference. Thanks Adam, your lessons are appreciated.
Adam thank you for explaining these concepts so clearly. Love all of your courses at the Scratch Golf Academy website. That tee box drill is pure gold!!!
Great stuff! From the mental picture to your explanation and the drills. Exactly what I am looking for and trying to show my 12yr old son. I could demonstrate but couldn’t explain in terms he could understand. Thanks again!
I thoroughly enjoy drills that can be executed without instruments. These before the tee drills are therefore fantastic! Please make sure to add more "on the course drills" in future videos, I feel it helps me actually continue using the drills.
Adam Bazalgette. Great name! Great teacher! Thank-you for all your videos. I love them. Come to Scotland and give me a lesson, PLEASE. The Open is at St Andrews in 2021.
First let me say You make it easy to understand what ever you are trying to teach. I am 43 yrs old and am a 22 hcp. Hardest part of my game is 220 to 190 yards and of course putting 10 ft and greater. Bought a Callaway X Hot 5 wood for the 200 yarders but not used to hitting a wood of the ground so no help there. Also got a new White Hot Pro Blade putter and that helped out A lot. Any advice on the 5 wood? You seem like a Talented teacher. I live in Key Largo Fl. And mostly play Redlands golf course which has harder fairways Thank You! ?
I like this for mid round check up but think you could have even gone deeper...I like to hit driver on the range then immediately pick up a wedge then go back to the driver...you immediately get the feedback of the difference in stance width, difference in how much body vs arms used, and spine tilt. Would like to see this same video with driver and wedge vs 8 iron. Thanks! Chris
Adam, in the driver setup, as well as his feet being much wider, his toes also appear to be pointing much more outwardly. Does this contribute anything more than just increased stability?
To hit the ball on the upswing ,the tee and the ball should be further towards the big left toe .There's a mini sllde in the downswing to get there .With the irons there's no forward move of the body ,it's more a rotary movement
One of the ways I got down to a single digit handicap years ago was leaving the driver in the bag! The thing that makes me crazy with the driver is there is no consistency to my miss-hits, I can top them, pop them up, massive slice or snap hook, and the swing feels about the same. I am working on keeping my hands ahead of the ball at impact, but do you still do that with a driver or fairway wood? Looks like his hands are right over the top of the ball at impact with the driver.
Random, With the driver the upper body is much more behind ball. Sop, even though there is angle between right arm and shaft, the hands are about even with the ball. Best, Adam
@@Scratchgolfacademy, I know you do this for a living, but still, I can't thank you enough. If I had known all these things you teach so well when I was in my 20's, I might be a golf pro today. Oh well, better late than never. Now that I am in my 50's, my body is more prone to aches and pains and even muscle strains and tendinitis, so that is what is holding me back. Thanks again, and keep those new videos and drill recommendations coming!
Hey Adam, I've been struggling with ball striking on the course, but do fairly well at the range. I believe the fake turfgrass hides my mis-hits during practice, and then shows its ugly face during play. Do you have any suggestions besides switching facilities for my ball striking? I'd also like to add I've seen all of your ball striking videos and they have significantly improved my game!
based on yesterday, it's my drive. Was nailing them last weekend, totally blew all but 2 drives yesterday. Irons and chips were all money though... so this video came at the right time. It's like magic.
Austin, I'm afraid it's hard to comment without seeing your swing. Might want to have a friend video a few of your warm up shots, then a few on course, perhaps you could spot something. Hope this helps. Best, Adam
(Writing this for a right-handed golfer) - If you address the ball like Adam says, your head is naturally behind the ball. During your backswing, shift your weight to the inside of your right foot, so that you don't get out of balance. Then during the downswing, bring your right elbow in by engaging your core (this is the "magic move" in Harvey Penick's Little Red Book) , then follow through. Remember that when you hit a D or 3W off the tee, you are meeting the ball after your swing bottoms out. This may sound weird, but during address, I place my club (D or 3W) at the bottom of the swing, which is usually a few inches behind the ball. This helps me envision that the club needs to rise when I strike the ball. Hope this helps.
Hard to say without seeing you swing. Maybe hit some irons off a low tee, and work on picking ball off tee without touching the ground. hope this helps. Best, Adam

Thanks Cory.
Regards 5 wood, it's the same motion as other longer clubs. I have fairway wood videos at the TH-cam channel.
All the best, Adam
Thank you very much. I guess I'm just not confident with any wood is the real problem. Practice Practice Practice
Another helpful video!!
Should your swing be the same for hybrids as for irons?
Thanks. Yes, [pretty much the same.
Best, Adam
Love the fact you use PGA Tour Pros in your videos creates a great mental picture

Steven,
It's a good observation, but I'd say it adds to his mobility (hip rotation).
All the best, Adam
Totally agree Adam, flaring the legs a little will definitely create a bit more space for the hips to turn in
To hit the ball on the upswing ,the tee and the ball should be further towards the big left toe .There's a mini sllde in the downswing to get there .With the irons there's no forward move of the body ,it's more a rotary movement

경사면에 몸이 따라 갈것이 아니라
(경사면에 따라 가면면 몸동작이 부자연 스러울수 있다)
내몸이 경사면에서 가장 자연스러운 동작을 할수 있게 어드레스 한후에
연습 스윙을 통해 최저점을 찾고
그 자리에 공이 놓여지게 몸을 이동 시키면 된다.
Thanks for watching the video. I'm afraid I can only read English.

What swing do you struggle with most? Your driver swing or iron swing?? Please tell me in the comments.

Both. It would be nice if you could do a video about wrist action in golf swing (cupped at the top, bowed at impact(

No foley at impact! Come on...That’s hilarious! There’s reverb on the tail?

Don't like your drill on the irons. Seems like your going to groove a reverse pivot with that drill. no thanks
OK Joe, hope you find something else that works.
