“If you’re playing all the time you should be scratch or better” And my pride just left the room
*try not to cry*
*crying intensified*
Just because someone plays all the time doesn’t mean they’re going to be scratch or anywhere close for that matter. Big exaggeration by George in my estimation. Of course there is more potential but basing it just on time is just not true. Zillions of guys who play almost every day at a lot of clubs who still stink.
@@nelsonjames1272 he just meant that if you play all the time and use your time well you should be scratch or better. If you play all the time and work on the wrong things you won't be. Pretty sure that's what he meant. He's wasting potential because he's not working on the right things
@@ZickDorito agreed to a certain extent but most people don’t when you look at the statistics. Most people simply do not have the talent regardless. I hope Riggs is successful but I didn’t see a lot of hope in the video. It’s pretty ingrained. It takes a lot of hard work to really see in your mind how the golf swing works and most will never get it to stick consistently. Too many variables.
@@nelsonjames1272 a large part of coaching is building the players confidence. I didn't take the statement literally. I took it as him pumping Riggs up and telling him he has potential that he himself may not even see. Believe in your player until they start to believe in themselves. I wouldn't think it would be motivating if he were like "yeah bro I can totally see you playing to a 15 handicap for the rest of your life" but that's just me.
Didn’t know ‘weekend golfers’ spent their winters in Arizona
I'm working on it also.. it ONLY takes an early retirement, friendship with portnoy so we call THIS work, or a friend who has plenty of money to supply you with a good amount of income and fun money who doesn't give a shit if you spend their money on golf for winters
Bitter much?
@@GreyCollarGolf I am 😂 guy is living the dream
@@mikewigoo2433 lets pool recources and go play somewhere warm
ikr
Riggs "I'm a weekend golfer"
*Plays more than someone who's retired.
lol
and he's STILL garbage. lol
Also claimed he’s a 5. Even though this isn’t true for him and he’s lying out his ass, someone who is a legit 5 is wayyyy passed an average weekend golfer
ive heard lurch say hes off 4. Absolute BS!! these guys are high Teen HCP at BEST
Right. I play maybe 6 times, maybe 8 times a year. Lol. I'd love to get better. But, I need to play more than what I do.
The series we all need - GG teaches the Foreplay squad
Kevin kisner already did
Lmao there’s not enough money in the world for GG to teach the other guys 😂
@Tyler Randall george gankas gets great results, but I agree with you. He seems rushed and anxious, like his mind is moving a million miles an hour and he can't contain it. He's all over the place. I'm way the opposite, slow, laid back, reserved, so watching him makes me slightly uncomfortable.
Still great information from the guy though. His style obviously resonates with a lot of people.
YESSS WE NEED TRENT DADDY TO BREAK 100
@@jacobnorton1 I was thinking that if I took a lesson from GG, I’d ask him to try to teach me at half speed, or pretend that English is my second language. He’s just operating from another level.
George is the man! Riggs and I share almost identical swing issues and this video helped me tremendously. I'd been standing farther and farther from the ball, and it was only making my "humping" issues worse and worse and worsening contact. Getting my posture right (and it feels crazy close to the ball versus what I'd been doing), but sure enough I'm getting back to the ball better and making much better contact. Working on getting eyes/chest out is huge too - also a bit counterintuitive for someone that's struggled with poor contact (had been "really watching the ball"), but realizing that was just making things worse by not allowing my chest/hips to clear through impact.
I feel like every golfer can benefit from the couple of key pointers in this lesson.
“OK. Your swing is pretty good. Just need to quit sucking your butt in, turn your hips more, turn your shoulders more, create more steepness, use less arms, avoid the massive bump sway thing, and stay relaxed through the shot.”
And not club twirl a shank or pull hook
That list could be a lot longer.... Trust me.
Simples 😬😂
Lol. GG is a top notch instructor. But I wonder if it's too much for the average golfer. 🤔
Yeah he is like Mozart of golf teaching. Us mortals need to go a little slower on the learning curve!
"There's a lot of good in there"
Rebuilds the entire swing, might as well have swapped over to lefty.
Gankas is the golf whisperer, one of the best swing coaches out there. A lot of successful students.
The difference is he works with those guys hundreds of times. Not Gankas fault but one-off lessons like this are almost pointless. You need continual lessons, ideally with video records in order to improve. One-off sessions usually create more confusion, especially once the instructor is gone.
If Riggs had any body control whatsoever, Gankas would have turned him into a legit 5 handicap in one session. Much respect
“People hate my golf swing”
But of an understatement
This could be a 8 blue ray DVD special with that swing.
George has the patience of a saint. Riggs' swing was almost identical at the end.
I’m blown away by his ability to hold the frame and manage the students emotions. Something I aim to do better as a teacher.
Rome want built in a day. Huge number of changes that’s unrealistic to pick up after 30 mins.
Would love a whole series on this.. this guy is legit.. hands on!
The awkward silence when he floated the 5 handicap to George Gankas was priceless..Even Riggs didn't believe himself
Yeah i have the same issues humping the ball, not using the hips and getting on my toes and I'm an 18. He's def 9-10.
@@wes1588 9 and 10 on a dammn good day
That 5 handicap beats you all day. You have no idea how the handicap system works if you think he's not a 5. FYI. A 5 over handicap(not par) is what he would shoot every 10 rounds. From the tips or 1 up, the handicap will be between 72-77. +1 cap here.
@@njbailey1981 No. it’s your best 8 of your last 20. Not 1 out of 10. If he struggles to break 80 from the white tees (6000ish), he’s closer to a 10.
ILL Forever anyone who doesn’t think he’s a 5 is insecure about their own game lol. His job is to play golf his swing is ugly but it works not that insane to get to 5
We need him with trent
Trueeee
100%
GG for Trent the peoples champ!
This is 500 levels too high level for Trent. Riggs is honestly the only one of the boys who thinks about golf enough for Gankas...the other three are just more "don't think about it" golfers.
Yes, please Foreplay.
Trent has to learn how to golf a little bit first - this shit is so far over his head he'd be totally lost.
Been watching George for years
Love his approach to the game
“EYES OUT” For Riggs should be the easiest part of the lesson
Easy 😂
bro... thats so dirty.
Which eye!??
LMFAO
😂😂 SAVAGE
George you dude, best and cheapest lesson ever. I have this on repeat 👍
So good to watch. Just gone through a lot of this with my coach. The concept of the golf swing in most amateur's heads is so wrong. Too much emphasis on arms and not enough on body.
I've just had a eureka moment leaving the arms alone and rotating properly. So great to watch this lesson. Great content.
Gotta love GGS passion for teaching. He went to work on Riggs.
Look him in the eyes Riggs goddamn
Now I see why when Matthew Wolfe does his impact before his swing, he actually looks away from the ball.
Annika Sorenstam is arguably the greatest female golfer of all time and her eyes moved crazy early. It's something I've always done with my own swing and thought it was a fault because I always thought you had to watch the bill to make good connection. I guess it's actually been helping my swing this whole time.
people may think its weird but it makes total sense
no kidding, he wants to get that “eyes up, open chest” feel before every swing.
It makes sense, because you brain knows where the ball is, and it lags behind your downswing, so it makes no difference if you move your eyes a micro or nano second before the impact
and David Duval
this is going in my golf lessons playlist. Just so understandable. No new information, but just the way he brings things together makes a lot of sense.
And that's golf improvement - find a message and method that resonates for you.
About time dave busted out the wallet and got riggs some lessons
@@illforever4153 isn't the point to be relatable to the average weekend golfer? Not some pro golfer on here telling us what were doing wrong?
@@illforever4153 he is a 5 handicap dummy.
@@illforever4153 I’m sure one of the best coaches in the world is just teaching basics.
@ILL Forever His set up is bad yes, but these certainly are not basics. Getting faster and better rotation in your hips and chest is generally the next step. The basics is just putting together a swing, no matter how bad, so you can actually play golf. Let's not kid ourselves to think that all of this is basics.
But does the average golfer hit their 4 iron 170 yards
Coach G is a madman! Love him!
This makes me so happy cause his swing actually brings me anger lol love the progress
Dude, this is crazy. Ive never seen a a golf explanation anything like this. And it make sense so much. Thanks for this. Moving fw ill definitely going to do all that drills.
The best lesson and explanation I have ever seen George and any other coach anywhere , you are so lucky , do anything to be in your shoes omg George Gankus
GG giving a free full lesson! Thank you sir! Get him onboard boys!
It amazes me how many times George says relax while he's talking a mile a minute and manipulating 4-5 parts of Riggs body. How are you supposed to relax with all his nervous energy! Lol. It was a fun watch.
THX!!!!!!!!! I WAS EXACTLY THINKING THE SAME, I WOULD NEVER WANT A COURSE WITH THAT GUY!!! He's even out of breath talking, jeeeeeeeez, take a chill pill !!!!!
@@arnaudgolenvaux299 George's lessons cost a fortune, he better make the money worth it
Awesome, I will probably watch this ten times as I work on my swing
i love how he embraces the miss. hes like miss this shit. its ok to fail when working on your swing.
Yeah, it's so easy to revert to old habits if you don't hit it pure with the new swing.
Great video! Gankas is the man! Usually his videos are these young kids the are super flexible that has been working with him forever 😂. Definitely got a lot of the video! 👍🏾
This is the BEST youtube video on hip/body rotation on the downswing and follow-through. If you struggle with scooping the ball and high ball flights, this will solve a lot of it. BTW - I also would work on your feet. You are too much on your toes hitting an iron.
One of the keys to the whole video was when he said “is that your regular grip?” There is no way he can give you a lesson and change your grip at the same time. He worked with what he had. The truth is you have a grip where your hands are fighting each other but it’s what you are used to. I would take a serious look at adjusting into a nice neutral left hand grip of 2-3 knuckles and a right hand which fits over the left thumb comfortably and the right thumb where you like it, then work on the stuff he gave you. It looks pretty clear to me from what I saw. Your present grip makes it tough to do things properly unless the angles shown were giving a distorted view of your hands for some reason. Not likely though.
Awesome stuff guys. With the amount of legitimate golf folks that you have access to I would love to see more of this rather than Franky talking about dumb shit and losing it every 5 seconds.
Yeah, but have you seen this movie called Molly's Game?
hahhahahaha... dude frankie's swing is pure now
A real hands on approach...
I've never heard somebody explain the game more simple this man is a gift from the golf gods especially me being 100% feel player the amount of detail that he is going into I am able to recreate and feel it myself watching this video
Man his head must be spinning. That was like 8 lessons in 1
@@illforever4153 We're talking about a dude who didn't improve after being quarantined at a golf resort for 3 months straight. If you don't improve after that, you're not going to. You've peaked at that point. He's certainly not going to improve after dismissing everything he's taught in one session.
Great video, so many nuggets, will have to watch it in repeat!
That was awesome!!!So lucky to have a lesson by him
His energy and principles are amazing.
Holy shit Riggs. that first swing @5:17 actually looked normal
Damn. Same thing I thought. Where'd that one go Riggs?
Gankas is a Sensei
Great sesh Riggs, keep up with this, looking good!
I am a scratch and this is the EXACT thing I have been working on with my swing coach! More chest turn at the ball!
That is a great lesson. I’ve found that if you put your foot in front of someone’s clubface while they are finding impact position, they will automatically stop pushing the hands forward and turn, because they will feel that in order to generate leverage, they need to turn the body with the arms in a strong (leverageable position).
awesome vid. I took a few lessons from G a few years back and he was so good and also a super cool dude. ITs great to see all the success he has received, its well deserved.
Reason this dude is the best coach out he world. Easy to understand and makes total sense.
Bro.! The “your eyes have to turn” is a game changer. Salute! Btw I just purchased the G-slot as recommended by my golf pro.
As someone who has the same swing problem as Riggs, it feels good to finally find a video I can relate to and work on. I was getting tired of the videos where your problem was always "coming over the top".
"are you hooking it?" Over the top
"are you topping it" Over the top
"are you thinning it?" Over the top
"your video buffering?" Over the top
Outstanding video.
Stick to the process Riggs and the results will come! George explains the swings changes so clearl/with the hands on approach that it could help alot of us, I mean how many have been trying to keep the butt touching the chair and head down no wonder we can't hit it consistent !!
Information overload. Great video.
I watched videos of my swing that I thought was good while watching this and now I got 15 things to work on. Free lessons baby
So funny, I did the same.
This has so much vaule for everyone watching! Thanks!!!!
I learned more in this video than anything else. I shoot in the 90s and now I can’t wait to get out there and try this
George is so amazing!
This was awesome watching him breakdown the swing.
Where can I get the Rossy lid???
Great lesson, George really knows what he's talking about. I think the main reason that Riggs isn't able to clear his body and get into a proper impact position has to do with his backswing pivot. You can see pretty clearly during the face on view around the 34:47 mark that Riggs is swaying or "bumping" (as George calls it) off of the ball and away from the target. This puts Riggs low point way behind the golf ball, his body instinctively knows that the positions have changed and that he is going to hit the ball fat, so to try and remedy that he moves hard laterally in the downswing to try and get back to the ball. Excessive lateral movement in the backswing or downswing massively restricts rotation, it's hard to rotate when your hips are swaying or thrusting and not fully underneath of you.
I think it's important to learn what a proper impact feels like and to have an idea of what you are trying to achieve when you strike the ball, but let's not put the cart before the horse. You can do impact drills until you are blue in the face, but if you don't have a proper backswing pivot you are never going to produce solid consistent impact positions. I think George would of had Riggs work more on his backswing pivot if he'd of had more time with him.
Regardless, I'm glad to see Riggs taking his game more seriously, linking up with a guy like George is going to do wonders for his swing.
Awesome job.more please
Seeing George coach is poetry in motion.
11:11 the moment riggs first felt compression 😜
I loved this lesson……learned a lot thanks GG….👌👌👍
Insight was crazy. Damn sure helped me
Literally saving this video forever
Such an interesting teacher to watch. Passionate, too.
Mind blown. A lesson from George is literally priceless. Undoubtedly the best golf coach on the planet
Best Content yet! Love the instructional swing stuff.
13:40 lmfao I think Riggs got a little excited there
Riggs got a semi at that moment
Awesome vid, just awesome.
Makes Matt Wolff and Alex Noren’s little rehearsals before shots make so much sense
This is an excellent video. Thanks very much for sharing 👍
Guess Im going to the driving range today
Thinkin the same thing after this😂😂😂
😂
No. This is not specifically for YOU
Free fucken lesson right there.....Thank you Riggs for being so shit.....this benefitted everyone.
@@swardmusic i mean everyone has to fix different problems but the base of the lesson is still the same, all the tips he gave were for a solid golf swing that most average players should learn to mimic. So you are only right on the part of yes he isnt fixing our issues, but its still good to use this as a tool for what you need to be doin.
This was exhausting, and I am sitting on my couch.
So much of this applies to me also, but my miss is a slice and I have to figure out what parts don’t apply…. Challenging, but great content. I love this coach, Gankas!
This lesson contradicted everything I learned a as a junior golfer I'm confused now but I am going to try all these tips 😆
great lesson tks
i feel this, same impact flaws. can definitely take away something from this video. awesome.
Everything George showed us was gold
Nice GG. Rossy needs to squat in that downswing like so many of your juniors do. Great vid.
Fitting years worth of extremely technical swing instruction into a 30 min session. Riggs will forget everything. Barstool better get this guy on retainer.
This is the best content that fore play has ever released.
Holy crap. This is the exact thing I have been doing for years. This was insanely helpful.
Just shows how hard it really is for a lesson from the Greatest out there! Damn I’m gonna watch this a lot to learn my self
Such a good lesson video
This is A+/Top Quality content 👊
Love GG passion for teaching!
now thats a sick coach, i can use this lesson for my own swing i hump the ball alot, good shit riggs thanks for a free lesson
Going for a golf lesson and lying about your handicap is like going to the doctor and lying about your drunken coke habit, but at least the instructor knows the truth after the first swing.
Exactly. So annoying hearing this dude say he’s a 5 and in other vids I’ve heard him say that he regularly breaks 80. Most bad golfers can’t let their ego go. Most bad golfer shave strokes when asked their handicap. A good golfer is likely to be modest and add strokes to theirs.
@@jonafrica5739 i can regularly break 80... if i play my local par 3 course. lol
@@jonafrica5739 He regularly breaks 80 when he takes a couple breakfast balls, picks up and writes down a double saying "that's all I can take," drops where the ball went OB and charges himself 1 stroke, rakes a 6-footer towards the cup and says "that's good" when it misses. In short, when he plays like 90% of golfers.
There's no way he's a 5 playing by the book. (And no, I'm not better than he is)
@@wadesworld6250 I played with one of my friends from high school. About a month ago. First time playing golf with him. He said something about a breakfast ball. I'm like what is that?. Can you please tell me what that is. I've heard of a mulligan. But not a breakfast ball. Lol. I know, crazy.
@@williammills8953 lmao
Great stuff! One thing I noticed was the angle of your right wrist needs to be held longer and I think you can achieve a lot of those positions he wants, especially the right arm bend. ( I’m no pro, I just have worked to overcome similar things, and that helped me).
Great video! helping me fix flaws as well!
“I don’t care if you top it “ is a strong mental cue. Love it
@5:20 that is a good swing. Nice and easy. I can see your hcp! Nice
Absolutely Awsome !!!
Thanks!
George is great! Nice video
Dude. My head is spinning, I can’t imagine actually getting that lesson. He’s Yoda of golf.
- It’s not that bad!
*Spends the next 25 minutes changing everything*
If it's fixable, it's not that bad.
Haha
07:01 IT'S ALL IN THE HIPS, ALL IN THE HIPS! JUST RELEIVING THE TENSION BABY
George “does it make sense” Gankas
Now...gfjsklfjdslkfjdskfljsdlkfjslda. Does it make sense? Good. Now....djfklsdajflkdsajfsdljfsalfjdsalfjsadfkjsla. Does it make sense? Good. Now...
Do you actually think Riggs will be able to keep the golf swing. Or at least close to it.
Awesome video. Gankas knows his stuff
