It would be more engaging if each video started by showing your current official handicap, since that’s the story we’re following: the journey from a 54 handicap down to zero. Sometimes it will go up, and sometimes it will go down, and that’s perfectly fine-golf isn’t a linear path. Without a metric showing progress on the course, it’s hard to follow the journey. Best of luck with the injuries; they’re a real bummer. Mats can be tough, so maybe focus on playing more practice rounds. Lastly, consider taking the time to heal up. Your body might start compensating in strange ways if you’re trying to train through pain. Keep up the good work, and thanks for the content!
Great stuff guys! Your swing has come a LONG way man and all of your hard work and dedication is paying off. I’ve learned so much as well watching all of these videos. Now, have a I implemented all of this into my swing? No! 😂 It has taught me more about what I need to picture or feel in my swing. I’m 51 and my best round is 74…That was about 1 years ago. Yesterday, I had an absolute blow out round- I threw 4 clubs beyond return. 😂 Two in the woods about 30yds deep and two in the water. Today was an expensive day at the PGA STORE. Golf will humble you real quick and you’ve gotta learn how to manage the game to succeed. Thanks for all you do and thanks to your coaches as well. Continued success and hopefully one day you’ll shoot a 72 or better. 🙏 🇺🇸 ⛳️
jerome, I was a bit skeptical at first about your channel and quest but it's turned into one of my favorite golf channels especially with the instruction and info from Dana who is a real expert. i'm also very impressed with your progress and that type of swing action is what i've been aspiring for over the last several years. you are helping yourself and the rest of us too, thnx.
was having problems with early extension for my irons, after training with my driver then stumbled on this video, helped tons always love Dana's explanations
Interesting lesson learned a lot. I’ve intuitively noticed when I flatten my turn with long clubs I hit them much better but when I get to wedges a steeper turn helps a lot
The comment about feeling like you shifting your torso back on the back swing might have gotten my game back on track. I shot a 39 on the front 9 of a difficult course today with that swing thought in mind. Also, I used the vanilla chip video comment about how when pro’s chips and pitch the club head goes about past waste high at finish….pluuussss all the other knowledge I’ve been applying for 6 years.
Dana is like a F1 driver of swing knowledge. Very interesting listening to him drive his incredibly powerful car of knowledge around a Gen Z street track with all kinds of obstacles and distractions. He really reigns it in and keeps it simple when he has to. Excellent coach, great content. 👌
I can personally attest to the no mats portion. I bent my 8 iron getting too steep in the downswing. I didn't realize it until I went to hit it during a round. When I looked down at address it looked weird. Definitely hit the grass range. I can't speak to LA. I haven't lived there in almost 30 years. Great lesson. I grew up learning to play with persimmon woods and blade irons from the 30's. I didn't have a driver, so I exclusively hit a 3 wood. To this day my 3 wood is my favorite club to hit. So many different shots you can play with it.
Bro you should post your on course performance- it’s cool to see lessons but we gotta see how it translates to the course. What’s your handicap so far? Which tees?
I wish I could get taught by a pro coach I’ve watched soooo many hours of videos and have practiced so much, but I’m still not very good at contact. I keep practicing but I wish I had a guide like this to show me how I can have a tour pro swing and play like them and be taught by them.
A lesson is not much more than a round of golf. Take one at your local course. You will be amazed. I struggled for 3 years thinking I could get by on athleticsm and random tips. Took two lessons, spent 3 weeks just practicing what I learned before I played again and it was night and day difference in consistency. Should have taken a lesson from the beginning. Think of all those rounds that could have been better. Just do it.
When things are off in my game, I usually feel disconnected from the ground. It turned out my core strength was weak. Situps lead to a connected feeling, which leads to solid contact.
Yeah I agree. I really only focus on my alignment, grip, and setup. The rest of the swing takes care of itself. I like to feely hips over my ankles and my feet are really gripping the ground before I initiate my swing. Athletic motion golf has helped me a lot.
That’s funny, our local range is all mats. I very rarely hit my irons on them. I use my wedges and woods. I’ll bring 3 irons and rotate which 3 every time. But typically I’ll hit 3-5 balls with each and that’s it. Never thought about the fact the mat could be changing loft and lie though. Was more because I need the least practice with them, but it’s good to know
It was pretty funny to hear you say you're hitting the ball too far, and over the green. 99% of golfers want to hit it further, plus 90% of golfers underclub and hit it too short. You'll learn your club distances by playing. I liked your video of playing a round. Play to learn. There's a whole world of golf you haven't discovered yet: weather, wind, bad lies, downhill, trees, other players, tough holes, pressure, etc. Range time can only teach you swing fundamentals. Golf is a complete mastery of all the elements.
SO thats what I lost in past year, the hip hinge. I always would see pros head dip and mine would dip also but never realized why. Its the hip hinge making them drop in height. I became too static because how many times you hear: "Keep the head still!" No no no the head is still once the that transition is done and then the body torques and rotates while the head is still looking at the ball until impact. I guess I got afraid of chunking it if I dip too deep but the chunk wont happen because the hands go more in front thus reducing the distance between the hands and the ground. Basically I became a flipper and lost yardage, got too much height and started thinning it. Golf... You might be doing something great and not knowing it but eventually you might lose it.
If u see all the great coaches. One coach you should see is Todd Graves. He teaches the single plane swing of one of the greatest ball strikers on the planet "Moe Norman" I dare you. You will be amazed. He has a TH-cam channel. Graves golf.
Big piece of advice here from an ex-college player that had a homemade swing with no coaching. If you are going down the fundamental route like my teammate who is trying to qualify for high level amateur stuff now instead of playing 45+ holes a day hoping that gets you good enough like I did when I was younger, you are going to need a few items. Get a set of 5-7 used clubs as range clubs and place trainer grips on them. Get something to place between your arms at address to keep your structure (Tour striker ball esque item). And lastly get a golf rope and do a bunch of step drills with it (Dr Kwon explains it well) to help your swing rhythm and weight transfer. You already film your swing so I won't get into that, but please stay away from diagnosing every single swing look at one every 10-20 otherwise overthinking will happen. Then if you have to hit balls at the range, find a short tee and try to pick them even with irons and wedges this will help with low point control. Always pose after a swing even if it's bad contact to feel your weight distribution. And lastly go to every range session with a plan of specific clubs w/ trainer grips, yardages, and drill you are trying to get better at. If you do this every day or two you should drastically get better, even more so than you are now which is saying something considering the progress you've made.
My problem isn't early extension. I can hit the ball like Dana asks you to hit it, with that wrist action. My problem is my shots start straight but hook/draw too much that my ball is landing in the deep left rough. How did you stop that over-drawing? When I'm 125 out, hitting a full PW to the green, I have to line up to a target 15 yards right of the right edge of the green. You at 27:24 mark is me on the course. Do you have a video showing drills to straighten that?
@@FranzPaul-l3t if your shot start straight but hook too much then your club path is 0 degree which is good but your clubface is too close at impact. Look at your right hand grip and whether it is too under the club. If it is, try weakening the right hand grip and have the V pointing to your chin or even left shoulder. This is one possible problem .. Also try not to bow that left wrist like what Jerome does or what Dana is getting Jerome to do.. this is nonsense if you doesn’t match it correctly .. just try it using your setup and get into impact with a bow left wrist. Do you see the clubface pointing left? If it is then it could also be a problem too. Just stick to at most a flat left wrist will do .. in fact it doesn’t even need to be flat. See if the above minor fixes helps .. 🙂
Do you really want to get better at golf or are you just gaining potential clients/customers for your tech app? I’ve dropped close to 12 strokes in the last 3 months, by simply playing more golf and a few lessons with a local coach.
I can see why you have a lot of trouble. You're thinking about contact, but the coach is addressing consistency. Contact can be learned later via ball positioning, grip style, and body tilt. You're simply thinking, oh that didn't work so I need to make adjustments. Stop thinking about micro adjustments to get contact. You need to think differently.
I admire your grinding but those thumbs nails and titles seem you’re already dominate the game on every single video 😅 ! LFG! image seems a little off thou
Jerome Rufin, I think a handful sessions with Athletic Motion Golf would do more than a whole year of lessons. No offense to Coaches... it's just their philosophy is more geared differently toward teaching the best swing for success.
So many name throwing in one coaching session .. does he even have a system or he just takes bits and pieces from players here and there and put them together? .. 😂😂😂
@@PoliticalCompassMemes So? Makes no difference even if he did coach Bryson Dechambeau since he was 3 or if he just ‘coach’ Bryson Dechambeau for a session or two .. 😂😂😂
Allways liked you, but this is a more political video! I think it’s better never give a political advice! At the end Bitcoin is not a politacal thing, but a word weath revolution!!
I personally want a safe space to learn/make mistakes related to golf. Not sure you provide that given your into mocking Charles Barkley. You need a redo.
Stop trying to squat and hit down on the downswing. You will naturally squat on the downswing but before impact you actually pull back and up which you don't. You need to watch Christoph Bausek's first person POV and videos. You will get way more from him. Dana is milking the shit out of you and filling his pockets.
Just another cookie cutter video from you Jerome. I really believe you just want to be a youtuber at this moment and don't even really care about achieving scratch. When are all these coaches going to realize you are doing them a real disservice.
Wow where did you get that from??? These coaches are getting paid handsomely and getting TH-cam exposure and adoration, it’s a win for everyone involved. Jerome may have realised that getting to scratch might have been a bit ambitious but you would have to agree he has made great progress and learns quickly. You need to work on your cynicism, not everyone thinks as you do thank God 🙏
Haha its YT 101 have a good catch. Get in the viewership with big names. Then sell services or promos to the viewership lol aka caddy service etc. The main objective was to draw in audience. Becoming actual scratch is the last objective or goal.
@@cdunne1620 Jerome learns quickly? I challenge you to watch every video he has put out and you will see that he claims to have understood what the coaches have taught him, then why a few video's later it clearly shows he hasn't. I'll argue that it doesn't paint the coaches in a particularly good light when Jerome is incapable of showing them respect by going away and practicing what he has been taught. Jerome moves from one coach to another to another like someone Dr shopping for drugs. My cynicism of Jerome is justified and I am not the only one who sees this for what it really is just someone who want's to be a youtuber.

So does one use the downward and left upper body movement on all full shots ? Full irons? Driver?

I wish i could afford a lesson wih Dana.
That’s why I’m building caddy ai for all of you ! Check it out at caddyai.io - hopefully it will be valuable to all golfers :)
You said not a fan of hitting from the mats. What is the option for home simulators and practice if not from mats? Or another kind of safer mat?
Fiberbuilt has some that are very low impact
