I disagree. His tone is good and his points are correct; however, he is an amateur instructor. He is introducing "power" in this first lesson? Here is everything he mentions in this one lesson: Feet position, hands ahead of the ball, grip change, thighs together at finish, don't hit down, don't come over the top, position ball forward, flatten downswing. Therefore, i say he is a terrible coach. You implement one small change, ESPECIALLY with people just learning. He is doing a terrible disservice to this guy.
Mike is the best golf coach ive ever heard. I watch a LOT of golf coaching videos. Coach Mike is the best ive seen at explaining what is happening. He has made it so easy to diagnose my own swing and habits. Thanks Jerry
Got back into golf after almost 10 years, hell still even use my old high school bag and burners i used back then. Lost complete touch of my driver and woods especially, which used to be my favorite to hit. This lesson on grip was such an insanely good refresher. Gave me flashbacks to lessons I had as a kid. Went to the range yesterday and felt pure contact on all my clubs since ~2010. Gold mine of lessons in here man, big thanks to you and mike
I've watched this video four times at least. I kind of wrote it off at first because I hate using that strong grip. But the fourth time I watched it, I understand why he was recommending it. Dude, I then put it together today. Getting ahead of the club, shallowing it out (out to in swing), and creating lag are all the same thing. When people break it down to one thing, it never made sense. You can't do one of these things without doing them all at once. And once you do it, you'll never swing the old way again. I'm hitting whiffle balls in the back yard and they are coming off the club face like rockets. This is nutz! What happens next is you stop finishing your backswing because you want to get ahead of it more. So I slowed down, let myself finish the backswing and then get ahead of it. The strong grip helps you get ahead of the club as well and get into that bowed wrist you want at impact. Once I did this right, I instantly got a mental image of the swing path from address to backswing to downswing and follow through. Thanks for the videos and thanks to your coach. Put his name in the description. I need to come from Ohio to San Diego just to see him. This is the best golf instruction video I've seen on youtube.
That is a great teacher right there!! His method to teaching is spot on. He had captured my attention and kept it. It would be an honor to be his student.
Really pay attention to what Mike is saying when he explains things. It seems like it is going over your head a little. Mike is giving you the tools to diagnose your own swing and it is a seriously valuable thing to be able to do.
Mike is unbelievably smart. I’ve been playing since I was 12 yrs old and have not heard anyone (PGA pros or have read articles) that explains the 4 keys that Mike talks about. This is pretty close to Ben Hogans secret. The only thing that is not in line with Mike and Hogan is the grip. Hogan has the V’s in the grip pointing to the right eye. Mike has the grip stronger. What you need Mike to do next is give you a playing lesson (even if it’s only 3 holes). With a playing lesson this might cut the learning curve by a lot. Good Luck - channel is awesome.
The best coach ever I have seen on TH-cam. This guy is a keeper, Jerome. I love the way he articulates a golf swing. Can’t wait to watch the next video. Can we watch the uncut version? I felt like there’s more to this video that was shown.
Another extremely informative and helpful lesson. And I'm so glad to see that Mike is teaching off the mats away from the area at the far end that is noisy and unflattering. Amazing coach!
I'm your 300 sub, thats a first . . anyhow . . now your seeing a Golf Coach that knows his business . . because Jerome thats how I learnt . . exactly how Mr Mike Wydra is teaching you, grasp it brother and learn from the Master . . . strong grip DUDE !
Your struggle is one of the best teaching ever- that’s why these sessions are so good! No one is doing this- when you get to the tour you must find a replacement so people can keep learning! DG
if you can take the most useful lessons from both your coaches... I don't see why you wouldn't break 100 in the next couple of months... then within a years time, with consistent practice, break 90... I hope this channel gets some more exposure... its such a great opportunity for those new to golf to really learn for "free"....
Ditch the golf tec method. This instructor is awesome. It is so refreshing to see an instructor not using trackman or pressure plates and teaching basics
I took Mikes instructions and applied to my swing. I found immediate results in my short irons. I was amazed. My long irons and woods would still slice but in my mind I kept hearing Mike says woods and irons are the same swing but I could not make it work without turning my wrists to make it hook (wrong thing to do). this video help solve that issue. Thanks Mike and Jerome for this great video
Solid video for anyone having driver issues and also for more knowledge about the swing. I understand more of the feels and repetitive exercises players practice.
@jeromerufin - I know you need to produce content. But you have all you need for the next 2 weeks. Everyday spend 1 hour rehearsing the stance, grip and practice swing with good finish that he showed you. Hit maybe 10-20 balls max just to get a feeling, mostly just do air swings, but always step back and re-grip and re-do your stance. Then spend 1 hour doing you stretches/hip exercises and 2 hours chipping and putting. After 2 weeks of that go back to the course you played last week and see how your game has changed. Keep up the grind.
Hi Jerome, really enjoying these videos with Mike, he is a real find - a one in a million! Love what he is telling you and he has a great teaching method that WILL get the best out of his students. Keep doing what he tells you and for sure you will be playing good golf real soon. Good Luck.
Yea I was not doing any of this lol. Thank you. What a great coach. What’s the plane I should bring club back higher and then shallow it. How high should I bring it back on back swing with driver?
Jerome you need to check out the 2/6 swing Terry Bradly his videos are easy to learn keep your head behind the ball drop your arms will keep you from coming over the top
I like his knowledge , I don’t like how many things he has you thinking about before you put any of it into practise . Bite sized chunks would surely be easier . Every time I think he is going to allow you to put the immense amount he has discussed into practise he adds something else
Honestly, this is so helpful for me! I think we similar swing issues to work on and this coach has a great way of explaining and working with you through the concepts!
if you go to the pet store... there is a ball throwing gadget... you place a ball at one end.. and you hold the handle... in order to get the ball to release properly, you have to have wrist snap... wrist snap that is similar to when you try skipping a stone on water... if your not feeling wrist snap in the right hand, that is similar to the stone skipping feel... then you are not creating enough speed in the down swing.... The reason this coach keeps saying to get the hands ahead quickly in the downswing, is so that you create lag... that lag will be felt in both hands... in the right hand in will feel similar to the lag you create when you're attempting to skip stones on water.... you release that stone at the "last minute" to generate as much speed as possible... and the same applies in the swing..
By the way... the closed grip you had... I dont know how much more closed it could get... the reason the ball went off to the right is the face of the club was open as it contacted the ball... if you try to get your hands too "ahead" of the club head, without allowing the club head to catch up to the hands at impact, the face will REMAIN open...
23:32 typical: starting golf without immediat severe instruction your reflectory nervous sytem mainly in the back adopts bad habits. So once you come across instructions that teaches you the right thing, you have the feeling of „weird“
Wish Mike would use the term swing"fast" instead of swing "hard" ..".hard " makes people create tension in their swings. Whereas, you can swing really fast with no tension.
This one was good, the only thing I didn’t like was the he mark his stance, and it doesn’t match Jerome’s stance. Jerome need to find his own stance/ distance from the ball for his height/ arm length, also driver have a mark on the top, that helps you square the face, and it was not mentioned
Jerome, please memorize the following. Push: straight ball flight to the right. Cause: open club face and in to out path. Pull: straight ball flight to the left. Cause: closed face and out to in path. Hook: severe curve to the left. Cause. Very in to out path and/ or very closed face. Draw: curve to the left. Cause: in to out path and or closed face. Slice: severe curve to the right. Cause: very out to in path and/ or very open face. Fade: curve to the right. Cause: out to in path and or open face.
@@sausagembape677 I definitely understand path and face. A draw with an open face is a push draw. Read what I wrote carefully. I mentioned “and/or”. There are way more causes of certain ball flights but I wanted to give Jerome an easy guide. You’re more than welcome to add on to it but you’ll most likely confuse someone who is just starting out.
@@sausagembape677 Do you have any articles that can support that? I can find articles that back up everything I said. I can't tell if you're trying to be a troll or if you don't know much about the golf swing...
For all of you that think he is the greatest thing since sliced bread, you need to go watch Altus Performance or Danny Maude. THEY are excellent coaches. I'm not saying this guy is terrible, but he is unloading EVERYTHING on this poor kid
I don’t want to be too hyper critical of yourself as love the channel and everything it’s about but from my experience you need to be playing at least 9 holes everyday on a real grass course if you can. I started playing no lessons and shot 156 first round. Being playing for 2 years off and on with university and shot a pb of 76 (+8 on par 68) a few months back. I found that it’s much easier to take advice and tips if you understand the mechanics a lot from your own perspective. Keep it up and best of luck. Lots of love from Northern Ireland.
Ps I understand not everyone has the time/resources to play 9 holes everyday so that advice is tailored to yourself. In the uk I have the luxury of a student membership of £10 a month unlimited play at a local course. Prices seem wild crazy for memberships and green fees in US and rest of Europe 😢
Brother you are coming along quickly. You are asking the right questions but not hearing what the instructors are trying to tell you or they are not speaking your language. Relax your arms at the top of the backswing and use your lower body to swing the club through. All of the positions they are trying to force you to get to will just happen. To get a feel for this, hold the club parallel to the ground (1/3 of the way back) in your backswing and throw the club through by rotation of your lower body let your upper body and arms go along for the ride. The golf swing is that simple. Golf is a game of distances, the most important being the 6 inches between your ears.
This instructor is still teaching the old ball flight laws, which have been shown to be incorrect. Advances in launch monitor tech have proven the ball flight laws to be as follows. Club face determines what direction the ball is sent. Club path (relative to face) determines the curvature of the flight.
coach is great, but he's working with older info about what starts the ball and what curves it. Club face determines where the ball starts, and path curves it
If your face is open to your path, period, it's fading. He keeps fading it. Mike's killing two birds with one stone by teaching him a push draw. He's getting him to get a closed face to path first.
I am more confused than helped personally. PRO's tone is good and his points are of course correct - very insightfull and mastering. However way too much information, way too much theory for my liking. I get trying to understand the swing and what happens - but that may be better in a sim session or similar (trackman). This lesson to me would be more beneficial if one or two things could be in focus....
It seems like theres some conflicting philosophy between your coach at golf tec and Mike. Just one example is golf tec told you to twist the club handle to close it and Mike tells you to close it by rotating. Im sure both work but having conflicting teachers is bound to create nightmares for you.
Why does this video relate to me 😂 it's your journey 2 scratch isn't it, listen buddy I'm about 2 go scratch n I've been playing 4r 12yrs so I'll tell u now.. It ain't happening till u serve ur time g. 👍
Doesn't club face indicate ball start direction and club path indicates the shot shape? This instructor is saying hi to keep closing the face to make the ball draw/hook, but you only want it slightly closed to target as far as I know. He's teaching the opposite of what I know 🤔
If you want to feel better, watch the guy hitting behind you. what i don't like about his teaching is there are too many factors. This distracts your preshot routine, even though your title says grip change.. He is throwing WAY too much information at you: too many gimmicks-- feet, hands, grip, thighs together, dont hit down, dont come over the top. This is WAAAY too much for a beginner. I say he has really done you wrong with this lesson. Too many skills and too much information
This seems like the worst advice ever. Basically make your grip strong until you hook it and then reduce that strong grip a bit and you will hit it straight. Need to work on the other aspects that are causing the problems. This is creating worse issues down the road.
Run from this guy, don’t walk. This guy is all over the board in his instruction, I guarantee you left this lesson more confused than when you showed up. Perfect example is he starts teaching him driver then quick switches to iron. No way he learned anything valuable in this lesson.
oh... and hold that finish... anyone that says its pointless is FULL OF SHIT.... hold the finish... even if the shot is the worst you've ever hit... HOLD THE FINISH
You are giving yourself no time to concentrate and work on things before you fill your head with more information, it’s to much for anyone, which is your priority, content, subscribers , or getting better at golf ? Don’t get me wrong I’m loving the content but you are trying to much to soon
Seriously, DUMP the Golftec coach and stick with Mike. He can play, and he can teach. You are hurting yourself by not sticking with one coach, especially one as good as him. Good luck.
You are matching your grip which your body is able to do. You are not Rahm or Morikawa, you dont need to bow. Listen to your coach. He is correct. Make a Jerome swing bro.

This guy must be correct about everything. How do I know? Because it’s completely different from everything I think of when swinging. Genius!
Mixing GolfTec method with Mike is, as far as I can see, sending you in two completely different directions. I'd be curious what Mike says about that.
golftec is a scam school
The only reason to go back to GolfTec is to record yourself in their studio and tell the instructor to keep quiet.

Get in line , I’m before you ! These videos are gold
Mike it the goat 🐐
Wish Mike would use the term swing"fast" instead of swing "hard" ..".hard " makes people create tension in their swings. Whereas, you can swing really fast with no tension.
I agree, just like Bruce Lee said “ flow like water”
Having tension in your swing will not make you flow like water
Hitting'down' is a band-aid for scooping just fyi. You want to hit/swing 'though' the ball eventually while fighting the club pulling you down/out
What I’d give to have this man as a coach! 😫😫 where is he located? Hopefully somewhere around me lol😬
Wydra is like Mick in Rocky.
This one was good, the only thing I didn’t like was the he mark his stance, and it doesn’t match Jerome’s stance. Jerome need to find his own stance/ distance from the ball for his height/ arm length, also driver have a mark on the top, that helps you square the face, and it was not mentioned
I literally have a new head cover for that club I can send you or meet up. Stealth 3 wood. New in box.
Curious why the coach switch?
What three knuckles in the grip have to be in a row?
Jerome, please memorize the following.
Push: straight ball flight to the right.
Cause: open club face and in to out path.
Pull: straight ball flight to the left.
Cause: closed face and out to in path.
Hook: severe curve to the left.
Cause. Very in to out path and/ or very closed face.

This instructor is still teaching the old ball flight laws, which have been shown to be incorrect.
Advances in launch monitor tech have proven the ball flight laws to be as follows. Club face determines what direction the ball is sent. Club path (relative to face) determines the curvature of the flight.
Can't believe these comments, this lesson is pitiful
Get a head cover for that fairway wood. All you have against the golf course is you and those 14 clubs. Take care of them.
“Too bad. Life is hard, then you die.” Sums it up perfect.
Life is hard then you slice 🤣🤣🤣
Anyone else feel personally attacked at 17:05?
coach is great, but he's working with older info about what starts the ball and what curves it. Club face determines where the ball starts, and path curves it
He is having him close the face to his path with a strong grip and then move the path to the right by getting his hands forward.
If your face is open to your path, period, it's fading. He keeps fading it. Mike's killing two birds with one stone by teaching him a push draw. He's getting him to get a closed face to path first.
You're spot on , he's so far out it's painful, he's a terrible teacher, he's making a simple concept very confusing and he's wrong

Already feeling overwhelmed with all that info?
Jerry if you go back they will give you a headcover. Take the video with you as proof
It seems like theres some conflicting philosophy between your coach at golf tec and Mike. Just one example is golf tec told you to twist the club handle to close it and Mike tells you to close it by rotating. Im sure both work but having conflicting teachers is bound to create nightmares for you.
keep your swing short and just use a 7 iron and pwedge unill you learn to hit those no real point in hitting anything over a 7 iron
Something so simple, but we always get it wrong LOL
Why does this video relate to me 😂 it's your journey 2 scratch isn't it, listen buddy I'm about 2 go scratch n I've been playing 4r 12yrs so I'll tell u now.. It ain't happening till u serve ur time g. 👍
I guess I’ll have my channel for the next 12 years :)
Doesn't club face indicate ball start direction and club path indicates the shot shape? This instructor is saying hi to keep closing the face to make the ball draw/hook, but you only want it slightly closed to target as far as I know. He's teaching the opposite of what I know 🤔
That moment when you realize becoming scratch is going to take a little longer then you thought 😊
Haha I’m in it for the long haul. And this channel will be alive for 50 years if it has to :)
@@JeromeRufin me too brother 3 years at it so far. Ok I'll give you the magic key 🗝 golfing machine certified trainers only your welcome
If you want to feel better, watch the guy hitting behind you. what i don't like about his teaching is there are too many factors. This distracts your preshot routine, even though your title says grip change.. He is throwing WAY too much information at you: too many gimmicks-- feet, hands, grip, thighs together, dont hit down, dont come over the top. This is WAAAY too much for a beginner. I say he has really done you wrong with this lesson. Too many skills and too much information
This seems like the worst advice ever. Basically make your grip strong until you hook it and then reduce that strong grip a bit and you will hit it straight. Need to work on the other aspects that are causing the problems. This is creating worse issues down the road.
Looks like you’re recycling a few lessons
Looks like he had a few lessons and just cut them all up into 25 videos
Too much information, much too quickly.
Run from this guy, don’t walk. This guy is all over the board in his instruction, I guarantee you left this lesson more confused than when you showed up. Perfect example is he starts teaching him driver then quick switches to iron. No way he learned anything valuable in this lesson.
stop
oh... and hold that finish... anyone that says its pointless is FULL OF SHIT.... hold the finish... even if the shot is the worst you've ever hit... HOLD THE FINISH
the finish tells u way u hit a bad shot most of the time
You are giving yourself no time to concentrate and work on things before you fill your head with more information, it’s to much for anyone, which is your priority, content, subscribers , or getting better at golf ? Don’t get me wrong I’m loving the content but you are trying to much to soon
Seriously, DUMP the Golftec coach and stick with Mike. He can play, and he can teach. You are hurting yourself by not sticking with one coach, especially one as good as him. Good luck.
Coah is hilarious
You are matching your grip which your body is able to do. You are not Rahm or Morikawa, you dont need to bow. Listen to your coach. He is correct. Make a Jerome swing bro.
