This is example of good teaching. Creating a feel and not a technique that all players can apply in a simple drill. Well done. I’ll be trying it the next time I play.
Good video and sound advice. Also what I like is that the video is short and direct. Not going for 15 minutes about what we're doing wrong etc etc thanks
Amazing drill. I've been hitting the ball horribly and did this yesterday at the range. Hit the ball like I was was kid again. This forces you to transition better and stay down and through. Thank you!!
Lots of repetitive content out there but this drill does seem to be very useful, especially as he noted, before you play. Truly a video for the guys trying to break 100 on any given day.
Was first shown this at a lesson I had 9 years ago or so - it's a great drill and one I go back to every now and then when I start losing strike. I should probably do it each time I play, as you say! Thanks for the upload
I've just been down the range and I gave this drill a go. At address it felt so strange because the club face is nowhere near the ball, but you've just got to trust it, and the results were unbelievable. I can't remember the last time I was striking the ball so well? It forces you to push onto that front foot early on because you simply wont hit the ball otherwise. I might just continue playing this way on the golf course lol.
You the man! I was using this drill especially in the winter when I'm hitting off Matts alot because without this drill first time on grass digging a hole. Also like swinging underneath a alignment stick.
I tried it today and makes a huge Difference. The problem is , I can only get those results by doing the drill. I am considering playing golf this way. 🤦♂️ so frustrating!
I'm actually considering doing this as well. I've read that it really helps your takeaway. Also, I've read that it works with the driver, too because of the fact that you need to hit on the upswing anyway. It worked wonders for Moe Norman.
Great drill. Tried it at range an hour ago and when u look down at ball way over to the left you think, “how am I gonna hit this ball” ?, but low and behold you can nail it and that weight has to get on left side. Thanx
New viewer…… great content and instruction……. Just jealous I’ve not got a net out back😂😂 Guy at the range thought I was you so heard about you then lol Gonna watch some more
Nicklaus. In his book “Golf My Way” he plays every club in the bag with the ball just inside the left heel including wedges! He just pulls his right foot in towards the left as the clubs get shorter.
I use this for driver setup having watched another of JC’s videos. At address I keep the club head about 6 inches from the ball. It certainly helps with weight shift. I’ve found that I hit it longer, with less slice.
Having watched some jack nicklaus footage he plays every club off the front foot would this save you shifting your weight or would you still need to do this drill be interested to hear your thoughts on it 👍🏻
yep. in Jack Nicklaus's "Golf my Way" he talks about his ball position in line with the left heel with his left foot open a bit if I remember correctly. I can't remember if his driver ball position is forward of his irons or the same position.
I tried this drill today at the range and it worked an absolute treat. Just one question though if I may. If I’m getting great ball striking by having the ball forward and club in the middle then should I actually adopt this set up on the course rather than reverting to a standard set up?
I do a similar drill where I place the ball where it should be in my stance and move the club head back and keep my hands over the ball. At some point we're just going to have to admit that Moe Norman has been correct for 60 years.

Awesome to hear! Keep repping that drill!
Tried this at the range today and will add it to my warm up for sure! It’s helped me slow my backswing to a more controlled pace as well 🙌
Awesome to hear Dale!

That's incredible!!! You have some sunshine for a change. Even got the shades on.

Great lesson! Love the slow motion part!!
you hands at the point of contact are amazing! thank you for a great warm up drill.
Can’t wait to try this!! Thanks for sharing!
Glad I found your channel. This way help immensely! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your great instruction!
“The shifting controls the low point.” I love it! Informative. Thank you.

Banging drill. I actually played with someone who did that the entire round with his irons. He struck the ball very well too.

@@golfmechanic1714 No reason not to! Moe Norman had his ball position quite ahead of his club head and was one of the best ball strikers of all time!
I like it and I will try it. Thanks!
This looks like an outstanding drill. I will be doing this. Thank you for the brilliant idea.
Thanks Carl
Dang, this is so good! I have so much trouble with my irons, but this simple drill I'm convinced will improve my ball striking! Thank you!!
Thanks for that tip! 👊
Love this - thanks
Great tip, can't wait to try it today before teeing off!
Thanks, very good drill . Today, I will practice and let you know tomorrow how I played.
You are such an inspiration!! And thanks for the drill mate
Thanks Chris!

Great to hear! The subconscious doing it’s work 🤙🏻
Great drill! I do this in my back yard with limited flight golf balls.
Awesome 🤙🏻

Great!!
Awesome vid THANKS!. So why not set up like for every shot then? (didnt Moe Norman do similar?)
Having watched many of your videos and others, just like the question from Kule, Why not play like this permanently? Thx
You can. Hard to trust on the course with the big change in set up, but players throughout golfing history have made it work
I use this for driver setup having watched another of JC’s videos. At address I keep the club head about 6 inches from the ball. It certainly helps with weight shift. I’ve found that I hit it longer, with less slice.

If you are hitting it well keep that ball forward!!
I'd say it worked out pretty well for Jack Nicklaus! Play around with it and go for it!
..thank you
Any recommendation on golf matts to practice at home? There are some damn expensive ones, more than I want to pay.
so iv watched lots of ur rotation videos and every time I try to rotate I'm jumping out of the shot and hitting in thin, any tips?
hi there..can this work against shanking the ball?
Where did you purchase the net?
I'm going to use this, hitting the ground first is my biggest issue.
I do a similar drill where I place the ball where it should be in my stance and move the club head back and keep my hands over the ball.
At some point we're just going to have to admit that Moe Norman has been correct for 60 years.
Need a driver drill for quick warmup too!
Same drill works for me
Donuts in the parking lot usually works for me.
I tried it today and makes a huge
Difference. The problem is , I can only get those results by doing the drill. I am considering playing golf this way. 🤦♂️ so frustrating!
Keep doing the drill until the move is on your subconscious
Can you actually do this on the course when playing?
Is this not how Jack Nicklaus played, but just narrowed the stance as he goes down the clubs?
I've tried this one. Our club pro recommended it. And it does work, and then like everything in golf, it doesn't........ Why?
Go get a coffee, take a 10 minute break then go back to it
Fix one thing and another thing goes...had that so many times!🙁
Hmmm, got to try this, makes sense! Thanks for the tip!
Glad you liked it Tom
That’s how I play every shot so I can do that exact thing.
I tried this at the range and was hitting them great so why don’t people do this on course ?
Hard to trust on the course, along with the pull shot that will happen whilst doing the drill due to hitting the ball later on the arc
Why not play like this?
Try it, it’s very hard. A lot of movement going on.
@bloatedsodium this is how my brother golf's
@@kyle6525 so why you asking? 😂
@@bloatedsodium7301 because so many instructors insist on hitting like this for practice y not play too?
@@kyle6525 His not concerned where the ball is going or what shape its taking in the air during the drill, it's just a movement warm up.
Yeah...is it legal to play like this on course?
This seems likely to encourage swaying, which would not be good. Notice he remains mostly stationary and just gets to his weight to the left side.
Not even slightly. You won’t be able to hit the ball doing this drill with a sway. This encourages, shifting and staying in posture
Nice drill but have you corrected your "chicken wing yet?
If it works in drill i suggest stick with it for the game... lol
Why not hit it like that like Moe Norman did?
😁👍
Thanks bud
Tried this warm up before our local club day. Ended up topping the next 5-6 iron shots lol
That’s a sign that you really need to do it. It’s exposing a weak area.
