Have to admit Adam you are one of the best instructors I have ever listened to. I'm a bit of an advanced player and as you know it gets harder to improve the better you get. Progress comes in little increments. But I have found your drills dealing with rhythm tempo and the weight shift to be tremendously helpful. Keep up the good work. I like your philosophy on play around a bit with it. Instead of trying to follow a bunch of connect to. Type of instruction. I like your method a practicing better then the other types.

Thanks very much John.
Hope you have continued success.
All the best, Adam
Many thanks, been searching for "clearing the left shoulder in golf swing" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Penamillorn Peerless Prevalence - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a smashing one of a kind product for discovering how to learn an effective golf swing method minus the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my partner got great results with it.
Every time I watch one of your videos it makes me want to get out to the range to work on my game right away. This was a very informative video. Thanks
Thanks very much Tyson.
All the best, Adam
Love your lessons Adam. Keep up the good work.
Thanks very much Nick.
Best, Adam
Great lesson! I can't tell you how much I've learned from this channel.
Pleased to hear that.
All the best, Adam
we are manufacturer Golf Gloves ,cap Golf , shirts , Hoodies, Shorts 100% quality and unbeatable price . are you intersted ?
One of the most straightforward and basic (in a good way!) videos I’ve ever seen to get the swing right. I’ve suffered the dreaded sway from right to left in my swing rather than a rotation, and this has helped me ever so slowly and surely to stop doing that and hit much better iron shots.
Thanks for the comment, and glad you liked the video.
Best, Adam
Adam I am in the Uk older guy 70 recovering from ruptured quads ! Your instructions are among the best I have seen.Thanks Peter Steptoe
Peter,
Thanks for the kind comment. Best of luck with your comeback.
Adam
Thank you for the video Adam 🤗
You are welcome, thanks for watching it.
Best, Adam
Adam, great explanation of the weight shift and shallow of the club. When to shift. Makes total sense.
Thanks Joe, glad you liked the video
All the best, Adam
Exactly the info that I need. Top quality stuff.
Thanks Jon.
All best wishes, Adam
No doubt Top Class lesson. ADAM.
Youngsun,
Thanks for the kind comment.
Best, Adam
I really enjoyed the video.
This is the best golf channels on yt. This video applies to me. In my case I believe I have become too steep in my attempt to hit down on the ball. Over the years I hit a lot of thin shots. Going to try and work on this but I know it won't be easy to overcome tho....
Thanks Marty, hope you make good progress.
All the best, Adam
this helps alot...Thank you!
Glad to hear it.
Best, Adam
Evrything on golf looks very easy, when all moving parts and timings are on place. ✌️
Adam has a way of explaining things clearly. He's been a great teacher online and in person.
Thanks very much!
All the best, Adam
Another great video really enjoy your content! Cheers
Thanks Steve, glad you like the videos.
Best, Adam
Great advice, help me make some changes I needed.
Thanks Daniel.
Best, Adam
As always great video
Thanks very much Curtis.
Best, Adam
You are one of the best TH-cam golf instructors I have seen so far. One remark though being a left player it would make the videos even better if you would change from saying left and right into using front and back.
Again thank you for creating these great videos!
Thanks very much, and I'll keep that in mind.
All the best, Adam
Another great video. I was and am guilty throwing the club at the top of my backswing and as a result I sometimes hit my irons fat. Your tip of little half swings to force the weight onto my front foot is a brilliant idea and one I will certainly try and practice. I always remember the saying, Rome was not built in a day. Keep these excellent and informative videos coming and I will always watch them.
Thanks very much Charles. Glad you like the videos.
All the best, Adam
Adam, iv been watching your content for over a year now and I just wanted to say thank you. Your explanations and methods about the golf swing are top draw. Keep up the good work on all aspects of the game.
Thanks very much Ben.
All the best, Adam
Thanks very much Ben.
Best, Adam
Terrific lesson. Thanks
Thanks very much Michael.
All the best, Adam
Excellent, you possess a very simple clear teaching approach.
Thanks very much Albert.
Best, Adam
After the last video with the feel of whipping it this now follows on perfect. I had a 2nd and a 1st so got cut 2 shots. I'm am coming into the ball on inside now and ball striking far more consistent. Will work on my weight shift and tempo now. Driver is still my barrier to single figures but will get there. Thanks Adam. 🏌
Thanks Andy, keep plugging!
Best, Adam
Based on my short experience I buy that idea presented ' on calm (downword) pressure on left leg' at coversion of back swing on downswing. Its not either to stay cool and wait for the club coming down... But try to focus on that thorougly on my winter training season. Your tips highly appreciated👍
Thanks for the comment Kari
Best, Adam
U is back! I know what to do I just cant do it in real time. But to be honest it is getting a little easier
Keep plugging James!
Best, Adam
Great lesson. I am doing this now and sort of found it by accident. When I shifted my weight, there was a feeling of my body getting readiness and aligning itself for power. I think I'd liken that feeling of settling in to an archer pulling the arrow on the bow string taut and then settling it down for final aim and release.
Sounds like you are on the right track.
Best, Adam
Really nice stuff, Sir - you've got a great action. My biggest problem is, and always has been, early extension...
Thanks William. I have a video on early extension here at the channel.
Best, Adam
Adam, all your stuff is so well presented - when shifting into the right side, is it just the hips or does the head (and torso) go as well. Cheers, and all the best.
Thanks Ben.
Regards the downswing (you mentioned right side, which would be true for a left handed golfer), the head should stay pretty still, with the hips shifting towards the target.
Hope this helps.
All the best, Adam
Ben, I don't think your question was answered. My study says not to conscientiously move your head and torso backward on the backswing as it will add another element of unnecessary timing to the downswing. It is also likely to cause a sway. Divided your right foot in half as a mental image. Feel the weight on the inside of the right foot and right heel at the top of the backswing. Let the head rotate (looking at the ball using the left eye per Nicklaus ) and drift back slightly as a natural result of the shoulder turn on the bacswing. Freezing the head in its address place on the backswing is not good either. See Jim McClean's "Eight Step Swing" for more discussion.
3:40 perhaps that's why most good golfers started when they were children - when the club feels alot heavier and they are forced to sequence correctly
An interesting thought Simeon, thanks
Best, Adam
Sounds like the two main lessons from this great lesson are to implement the weight shift to your front door immediately after reaching the end of the backswing and to extend your hips toward the target as you swing through. I really liked the reminder to come back to drill speed after a few full swings too. Also, as you shift weight, be passive with your arms and let them come through later in the swing, or you won't properly get the weight off your back foot. Thanks for the lesson!!!
Thanks Jim, hope it helps.
All the best, Adam
Adam, you still have a great swing!!😁
Thanks Anton.
All the best, Adam
Question: When you shift into your left shoe prior to posting, are you moving lateral (heel to heel) or towards the front of the foot (Big toe)?
Anthony,
It's a good question, and I don't think all great players do it the same. I'd say the ideal is that weight would be somewhat toward heel of right foot at end of backswing, then transfer more to ball of left foot, then back towards left heel as hips turn out.
Hope this helps.
Best, Adam
Great video. Do you have any suggestions on staying down thru ball? I tend to stand up as I’m hitting the ball which is getting clubhead open
Thanks. Hard to say without seeing you swing, but often there is a reason we raise up. A steep downswing, for example, would cause you to raise to avoid deep divots.
Hope this helps. Best, Adam
FORGOT ABOUT THIS PART THANKS JUST GOT BACK FROM RANGE TRY IT NEXT TIME..
Hope you make good progress!
Best, Adam
Is the “sudden stamp into the ground” by the left foot applicable to both woods and irons? I have been trying this drill and I like the feel.
Michael,
I'd say yes. Hope this helps.
Best, Adam
I loved Payne Stuart. He had one of the prettiest swings in golf. I miss him
He is sorely missed.
Best, Adam
I miss him too. One of the greats.
Great stuff again! How comes we never seem to hear the contact of club on ball - seriously, its like you have cotton wool on the club face or is it the ball going super sonic? One more thing could you do a piece on controlled swing and contact vs smashing the ball as hard as you can (what's the differences in distance and dispersion, etc)? Cheers ! 👍
Thanks for the comment, and yes, I'll try to get to that. The clip on microphone doesn't seem to pick up the sound of fairway shots very well.
All the best, Adam
I can shift weight pretty well on the iron shots, it's the weight shift with a driver that I can't seem to do well.
Hope you can sort it out Tom.
Best, Adam
I love the instructions! But I can’t figure out your accent?
Grew up in England, adult life USA. Thanks for watching the video.
Best, Adam
Scratch Golf Academy Thanks for replying! I knew I heard a tint of English.
Do you feel like squatting are lowering in transition has any effect on back or neck ? I have had a neck fusion just wondering.
Paul,
I don't think so, but you'll have to check it out for yourself. Hope it goes well!
Best, Adam
This is what I need to work on, I'm staying on right foot and it's causing poor shots and injury
Hope you make good progress Keith.
Thanks, Adam
As far as I am concerned, the biggest issue is having PATIENCE in transition. I think there is a built-in tendency for golfers to shift their weight to the lead side as they transition from backswing to downswing, but it takes a second or so for the shift to occur. IF you can manage not to rush the transition, if you can pause for a second at the top, then you'll have more success in getting forward. The problem is looking at the ball and feeling you've got to rush the downswing. The recommendation in some swing models (e.g. Manuel de la Torre) to let the momentum of the backswing set the wrists naturally helps; the innate weight shift seems to occur once the arms and torso stop rotating back. Thus, if you wait a second for the wrists to set that gives your body time to shift your weight forward naturally. Regardless, it's for some reason extremely difficult for me (and I presume others) to slow the swing down.
Norman,
Thanks. There are a lot of combinations and faults, and also a lot of possible keys to help combat them.
Hope you make good progress.
All the best, Adam
@@Scratchgolfacademy Thank you. Yes, indeed, they are as ubiquitous as the number of TH-cam channels offering golf tips. Good luck to you and your channel.
Thanks Norman!
Struggling mightily with my weight getting stuck on my back leg. The more I try to "fix" things, the more I break them.. Also ending up falling left and hitting hooks..
William,
I can't see you swing, but I'd bet 100-1 that you are thrusting club and arms down too much at start of downswing.
Hope this helps.
Best, Adam
You talk about it being natural for kids to jump into it and throw their weight at the ball. Is there any method for helping a pre-schooler not get into too much of a bad habit?
You can take a look at his swing on my channel if it helps you to give some advice. All advice is welcome!
Honestly, I wouldn't get that detailed with a pre-schooler. Their instinct to make contact with the ball will regulate most of it.
Just my opinion.
Best, Adam
Scratch Golf Academy - a helpful opinion too. He generally misses a lot more when tired or playing for extended periods of time. Pretty good ball striking otherwise. I’ll just keep it fun for now then. Thanks!

Thanks Nasir.
