As a retired PGA Teaching Pro, Adam really communicates and demonstrates very, very well. All of what he teaches I taught and believe in to make students play better! Well done, Adam!!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Richard,
Thanks very much for the comment.
All the best, Adam

[@jimsmith8053]

Adam is the best online communicator on how to play golf better

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much Jim!

[@ArtJorgensen]

The sequence from about 5:23 to 5:53 clearly illustrates the major problem I had to overcome to be a decent golfer. I grew up swinging using only my hands and arms and, as you can imagine, I was a terrible golfer. I had several sets of lessons over my first 55 years of golf or so from different pros. Not one of them ever mentioned that I needed to swing with my body and not my hands and arms. I only learned how to do it correctly from watching TH-cam a few years back. But I still had a problem shifting my hips (weight) at the start of the downswing. I used to start the hands and arms first, then tried to shift. That, of course, didn't work. Slowly I improved to where I started everything all at once and got a bit better. Only recently (I'm now 83) did I start with the weight shift, leaving my hands and arms to follow along later. I'm a better golfer now than I ever was in my younger years. In fact, this summer I shot a 73 at Red Hawk Ridge (from the front tees, of course). Teachers like you are invaluable to amateurs with the clear instruction and demonstration. Thanks for all the work!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks for the comment Art, and congrats on the 73!
Best, Adam

[@gregboggs4721]

Adam I am a senior and have only been playing for four years and really struggling but now I'm watching your videos and they are by far the best on the web. Can't wait to go to the range this weekend.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Greg,
Thanks very much. Hope you make some good, and enjoyable progress.
Best, Adam

[@OscarGonzalez-vg3cp]

Thanks, Adam. I'm very happy with your videos.

Thank you! The best instruction regarding hip turn that I have ever seen... Awesome!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks for the comment.

[@edz5972]

Hi Adam i played golf today at Balllymena golf club and used your instruction from your videos on iron striking and hit the ball the best ive ever hit it, i hit a 3 iron almost 200 yards i have never done that ever,
thank you

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Glad to hear it Eddie!
All the best, Adam

[@Mav...]

Adam, I like the way you emphasize that we try drills without worrying where they go, 'have fun with it,' or swing without a ball even. I think you are a more feel type teacher. Every time I see your lessons I get a real good mental image of what you are explaining. Thank you.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Migel,
Thanks, I hope you are having more of this in your practice. Best of luck!
Adam

[@TriCityAikidoCA]

Your clarity on the subject is second to none. Thank you.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Very kind Anthony.
Best, Adam

[@stefanmitrovic973]

Kudos for the video content! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you tried - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is an awesome exclusive product for revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got excellent success with it.

[@jimrogers6709]

One of the best lessons I've ever seen on the web....thx.

Your video's are the best on you tube for golf by far ! Thanks.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much!
Best, Adam

[@lindalewis5302]

COWABUNGA!! You are "BEST" internet instructor bar none...this lesson on how the hips work will add, minimum, 15 yards to all shots. Having had a static relationship with the downswing, this instruction has now allowed me to shift weight like the big boys, again never shifting weight and wondering why my distance was pathetic, to now, adding those 15 yards without effort. Your name begins with an "A," because that is what your instruction ability is...a solid "A!!"

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Linda, you are very kind!
All the best, Adam

[@cmccomas210]

Communication is key. This simple instruction makes it easy to understand. I'm hooked.

[@ronremillard776]

Thank you for this video. There’s so much talk about hip turn, but you are the only person who has talked about the differences on the backswing versus the through swing.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Ron, glad you liked the video
All the best, Adam

[@packat78]

Your instructional videos are the best on youtube. I was indeed shifting my weight back instead of staying centered slightly. Made a drastic difference , Thank you!

Thanks Phil. Pleased to hear you’ve made some progress with your game.

[@rgmiller007]

I JUST got started in this late pandemic season. I hit every driver with a quick launch and then close to an OB fade. Friends say "just aim further right". I knew enough to ignore that comment. I always aim at the target but got the same result. Checked alignment. No. Changed grip. Didn't feel right. Turning my hips to shift my weight and build torque. Bingo! Great lesson. Shave off 6 strokes and a bunch of tree roots!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Glad to hear it Ray, and thanks for the positive comment.

.....my light bulb moment was in another of your video's where you described the movement of the body and hips being likened to the way you skip a stone across water.....that analogy was brilliant ....can't tell you what a difference that has made to me.....thanks Adam.....

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Tony, glad it's helped you make progress.

As usual another fantastic, clear n concise lesson. I haven't seen myself on video in years but I'd be willing to bet this is my number one issue. I'm gonna take u up on ur drill, I know I hang back n have always struggled with the dynamic of moving forward in the downswing n mostly feeling out of sync... great job

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Glad to hear it Tim!
Best, Adam

[@georgetinwick3450]

Ledbetter taught a bump to the right in the backswing which i bought into years ago which is different from what you have described here i have never played good golf using this method the pivot and shift concept seems like a much better way to describe the way the body should function looking forward to applying this concept next time i go out

There are options, go with what works George

[@hughj.5762]

What a great video! Well explained. Pre mature over rotation of my hips is my death move and produces a variety of bad shots including my right foot spinning out and coming over the top. Makes hitting a draw impossible for me. This really puts the sequencing of the hips into an understandable and repeatable fashion. Thanks.

[@JoshDreyzen]

Thanks for your videos, Adam.
Does this technique apply to irons? Or is it more for drivers or woods?
That is, I know a driver back swing is a pivot not a shift. But is more shift allowed for irons?
Thanks,
Josh

[@jeffreyschechter6146]

I enjoy your videos Anthony. Tough not playing golf up here in NJ. Thanks for the videos.

Adam! Sorry about that. I've watched enough videos to know that. The first 50 degree day I will be out there.

[@carleyhamilton3551]

Adam I am a 30 year old beginner and all I have to say i thank you very much your videos have helped very much in a short period of time. I have gone from not being able to get the ball in the air to rarely ever hitting worse than a double bogey at a tough golf course (Marsh Landing CC). Pretty much bogey most holes now but I know if I keep at it improvement will follow. Thanks again, Justin C...

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Glad to hear you've made such improvement Justin. Thanks for the comment.

[@MTrevek]

Golfing for four months now. Been having a very difficult time getting the sequence and nobody has been able to explain what is happening at the transition and the downswing in a manner that made the light bulb go on. Your video finally made that happen. Most people have told me not to slide at all and just to pivot. I just subscribed!

[@moreme40]

The hip sway to the right has been my biggest swing killer by far. I have taken self videos and used the lines outside my hips and my right hip was moving several inches outside on the backswing. I was constantly hitting thin iron shots and taking no divots. Trying a more centered turn has definitely helped me with contact but it really feels strange compared to what I was used to. Love your videos as always and especially this one using the classic players

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks, sounds like your making progress with your backswing.
All the best, Adam

[@jordanwaderosecatfishadven355]

Great lesson. I'm a big guy, not very flexible, and this really helps start my swing on the right path. Seems like it inactivates my wrist a little too, lowering the ball flight and preventing the dreaded high pull hook. Thanks so much. I'm ready to come to Florida for some golf lessons.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Wade. Hope to meet you sometime.
Best, Adam

[@Robin-nt1jh]

solid advice as usual Adam. Would love to see some drills on sequencing. I know what I should be doing, hips, shoulders then arms but putting into practice is easier said than done. Any advice to help improve timing/sequencing in this area would be good.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Robin, I'll try to get to that. That area is covered in 'swing building blocks' at www.scratchgolfacademy.com.
Best, Adam

[@guitar1950]

Adam, you do a great job of explaining things! Would you touch on the subject of keeping the head behind the ball? I've noticed in videos of great players the head stays behind the ball and in many cases the head moves backward just prior too impact. Nicklaus and Langer are two examples. Thanks!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks for the comment David.
I will try to get something out along those lines.
Best, Adam

[@histamiini7770]

This advice with hip slide/bump together would be super helpful video. No matter this was mentally helpful. Made me think of like X of me when I swing...
X like down your legs and pressure, up your shoulders etc.

Once again, an excellent video Adam! I struggle with my weight shift (only with my driver) and tend to lean back when I am hitting drives. You mentioned how the quick arms can cause that motion and I will try these drills to see if I can finally get my driver straight. Thanks for the video!!
