the club face control makes a lot of sense. i've spent thousands of dollars on coaches who keep trying to correct my swing path from outside-in to inside-out and while it's helped, changing the club face and keeping my natural swing path has made golf fun again for me. i'm never going to shoot sub 80 but at least i'm not embarrassing myself on the course anymore trying to incorporate everything from my previous golf lesson. i love how micah just keeps it simple. more of these videos please!
1000% better to play your natural path than trying to change it. You can also dial it in more to make it a baby controllable fade and make that work for you. The next level (trying to compete) would be learning to shot shape both. But thats again for somebody wanting to go pro and not just a week by week golfer
YOu know for this guy to not be a golf coach, Micha you're pretty good at explaining golf in easy-to-understand terms. I like your calm easy easy-going style. Keep your videos coming!
What a great video, some times the fundamentals are what we need to get back to when we go down the rabbit hole of tinkering with our swings. I had been trying to come more from the inside so much that it got out of hand. Getting that path more neutral has gotten my ball striking back to where it was before I started to try and change it.
The comment about tension is a great tip. With my driver I normally hit straight-fades or push-fades and have a tough time squaring the face up. I recently relaxed my grip and it's made a huge difference. The clubhead squares up much easier and I'm driving the golf ball really well. Also helps with speed since you can whip the club through more efficiently. Not as relevant with irons since you're hitting down on the ball and a little tension helps with that and ground interaction. Just my experience.
Thanks for posting the Tiger tip Micah. I've been in a funk with my irons lately. Brought this tip to the range and could feel the transformation. Back to flushing them!!!
Nice! These were some good tips. For those wondering, look up "Tiger Butch" The video was Tiger (wearing white polo, grey pants) & Butch on Golf Talk Live with Peter Kessler (old Golf Channel) April, 2000, just after the Masters and just before he lit the world on fire for the next 9 years. 😅 I recorded that session on VHS cassette and watched it over and over.
Good deal Micah and good video. I’m on a journey to becoming a better ball striker with my irons and the swing path drill and the Tiger drill (stop at the top) are 2 that I am going to add to my routine for range work. Thanks again for sharing and all the best
These videos are great! Keep them coming, we golfers can pretty easily keep our plane relatively neutral without a lesson. Pure gold! I agree though, face sends it, path bends it.
Really good video Micah. Thanks for creating it. I have a question for you. It’s the game between the ears. Under pressure what do you recommend to keep you relaxed, and not thinking about future events, such as don’t hit it in the water or out of bounds, or par your last few holes and you’ll your weekly club competition. Then you end up hitting your tee shot in the water, or double bogey your last hole….don’t see any TH-camrs talk about the mindset at all. It’s a big gap missing. Cheers, Stephen (Melbourne Australia)
Bro.. this is literally the best description and example I’ve seen. This really did help me tremendously with on course diagnosis when I’m missing. I’m born and raised in McKinney. We probably know some of the same people. 🤘🏼 Keep doin your thang man! You’re time in the pro light is coming!
You’ve got the path and face impacts mixed up. Club face dictates where the ball starts, club path relative to face direction (face to path) dictates spin. The way you stated it is the old ball flight laws.
Holy crap. The explanation about club face set up was huge for me. Worked hard to fix my club path to be in-out but I always set my club face straight at my target and wondered why it was hooking 🤯
Really good future tip videos could be ball contact , relating to contacting the ball first. Feet and ball positioning. How far to stand away from the ball, and where the ball should be in your stance. Perhaps maybe it differs depending on certain clubs. Hitting fairway woods off the turf is another good, helpful lesson. These would help improve many golfers games, mine included!
Hey Micah, thanks for all your instruction videos! BUT, I can’t find what I’m doing wrong with my swing and I’m not getting club head speed (105mph max)without slicing the crap out of it! I’m wondering if it is the lack of movement in my wrists that I’ve minimized for accuracy. Can you help explain what you do and also the timing of movement in your downswing. Thanks buddy! God bless.👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I can’t wait to try your body tension drill as well as the stopping at the top drill. I recently started just slowing down my swing at the top, I think your drills will help a lot with sequencing and tempo
5:28 not sure if you misspoke but that's wrong. face determines where the ball starts. and then the face in relation to the path determines whether it hooks or draws which you said correctly
Thanks for this video! Could you do a video on your pressure shift? Even for the tiger drill, I thought by the time you get to the top, your pressure should already be transferred to your lead foot but it looks like your pressure is still on the back foot.
The ball starts 75% towards the face angle.. the path dictates the curvature (in to our curves right to left out to in curves left to right) the bigger the difference between the face and path the more curvature you’ll get Trackman numbers Path -3 face -1.5 perfect fade Path 3 face 1.5 perfect draw
Face angle dictates where the ball starts not club path. That’s why you pull putts, closed putter face . If you have an open club game and w 0.0 path, the ball will start right and move right
Having played and coached for a top Division 1 program I have a little knowledge of the swing . Micah your left shoulder has a tendency to work downward at the start of your takeaway which requires an adjustment during the transition that puts you in a too shallow block right flight or an over the top hold which you can hit a block cut or release and hook ball flight . Work on feeling your left shoulder turning around and up versus the slight downward motion I see at times . Good Luck
I believe you're wrong. Your method will have your plane in line with a horizontal baseball swing where the ball is up in the air rather than on the ground. And the more I read your advice I think you're dead wrong.
@@breeze787 not sure how you come up with horizontal plane but Micah's shot pattern ranges from big block way right to a pull hook , you have to eliminate these shots that start right and slice or start left and hook . What do you think he should do ?
Lee Traveno said it once before. If you can beat me at golf you could coach me. Can you beat Micah Morris from the tips in stroke play? Your answer is no!@@PiePye
The stop at the top drill has come so naturally it’s scary; spending 30 minutes practicing the stop and start hits literally made practice fun and I was hitting better shots within 30 swings!
That was a great video Tig. I have tried that drill at the end and it is a lot tougher to do than it is to explain. All of that muscle memory and timing that has been ingrained into a player makes installing that pause very difficult and then carrying out a swing after can get fairly squirrely. That said, it is doable and if done repetitively it really helps lock in your proper swing. Also, while I knew that the cause of a draw, hook, fade, slice or straight shot was 100% tied to the angle of the face relative to the path of the swing. The visual you shared as you mentally map out your shot was new to me. It makes total sense and you described it so clearly. I can’t wait to practice on the range and see if I can nail it. Of course, I will need to let these 105 F degrees Texas heat days pass before that will ever happen. The sun melts the cover off the balls right now. They just stick to the club face…..it’s like trying to hit a melted marshmallow. 😅
Would love to see you play a few holes and just tell us your thoughts during your swing, I’ve heard people say to only thin of hitting and amazing shot, think of what the best shot you ever hit felt like, think about club face, think about rotating, so many things so I’d like to hear your take on it
Really really good video. I've been rehearsing my take away to feel the impact zone and moment of impact. Has drastically improved my misses. The 1/2 rule of face angle over swing line producing a "straight" ball is something I never knew but am excited to try... Intuitively it makes sense but I've never heard it explained that way. Im scared to try the pause at the top, not sure why.
Excellent video Thankyou Micah. Could you do a video on how to get maximum distance from your driver? I’ve lost 20-30 yards in last 3 years and can’t seem to get it back after watching many other videos. Thankyou
I already knew what drill you were referring to when I read the thumbnail 😂. I watched that clip earlier this year and also took it to the range…. That drill is hard AF but it makes so much sense. Weight transfer is the easiest concept to grasp but one of the hardest things to keep consistent.
Great video man. Can you make a video about club head lag and when you should start turning your hips? I know "himwoo" fires his hips before he rotates his upper body. But is this a good thing or something that should be avoided?
Tig, I’d love a video on controlling face angle better. Drills we can do to help ourselves close or open the club face through impact. Great video here though. Great visual
how do i figure out how to compress the golf ball, not hit up on it, that's my struggle, I tend to hit it thin and then when I try to compress it, I chunk or hit a fat shot
80-85% of the starting direction of the ball is due to the direction of the face, not where the swing path is going. It is incredibly important when trying to fix swing issues to know this.
Cobra you are exactly right with your statement. In the video Micah says the opposite at 5:30 by mistake. He knows what he's talking about but inadvertently mixed up the swing path and face relationship. The face direction will dictate the starting direction ( about 80-85%) and swing path with influence the ball curvature.
During the Tiger drill: are you swinging with a normal swing speed, or are you swinging with a more relaxed (slower) speed? I understand this is about sequencing, so I was just curious. A lot of times in sports, when it comes to mechanical movements, it's often practiced slower to get the muscle memory "correct" and then speeding up that movement (sequencing). I imagine if you're swinging full speed the first time you try this drill it's bound to be even harder, like you say. Thanks, Micah!
Putting Putting Putting help. I'm a decent enough golfer to be on in 2 or 3 but my Putting is keeping me from birdie par golf to par bogey occasionally double bogey golf. I feel my reads are good but I feel my putter strokes are all over the place. If that makes since
Now about Tiger, he used to be across the line, but got his swing on plane to play his best golf. Is an on plane swing something that you should be after too?
How are you liking those Axioms btw? I just played my first round with mine today and they're so stable they almost feel strange...but in a good way. Just curious your thoughts...granted I don't swing anywhere near where you do.
I watched this yesterday and while it was interesting, wasn't sure how much it would help. Tried it at the range last night and man it was so effective. Helped my tempo so much and was flushing it by the end of the session. Great drill
Micah, great video. It’s fun watching you play but you did a damn good job in this video. Loved how you said you watch a bunch of videos on TH-cam and it becomes to scientific or to much. It’s more easy to relate how you teach it, in order to do it. I think a good video would be you hitting your low wedge shots compared to your higher wedge shots around the 50-80 yard range
So doing this drill, what exactly am I looking for in my sequencing? Lower body, hips, arms? Great video, as I just completely tanked at a tournament and need some stuff to work on at the range.
all of the above. just swing my dude. when you’re at the top of the backswing, there isn’t time to think, only to react. your body is reacting to the positions its been put in, so if you find that something isn’t meeting a checkpoint, the issue is the position, which is directly connected to the fundamentals (grip, posture, alignment, connection, takeaway, etc)
@@g4yrut You can be in a perfect position, but ruin it with incorrect sequencing. Ultimately the swing starts from the ground up. So it starts with starting to shift your weight towards your lead side and then firing your hips. Shoulders and arms should naturally follow. The issue is that not everyone uses the ground properly in their swing and thus would be lost in doing this drill.
@@cobra7282 correct, and the body dynamics of the swing are widely known and demonstrated. Yet, many amateurs can’t complete it. Why? Because so many amateurs spend their practice time overthinking, rather than just being athletic. The downswing involves a weight shift from trail heel to lead heel. This creates our left leg post position, the hands are pulled into the slot, and we rotate around that post. We can discuss the specifics of it constantly, but at a certain point, you simply need to rotate athletically, and stop overthinking.
@@g4yrut Well part of the issue is that a lot of amateurs haven't gotten the basics right yet such as grip and set-up. You have very little chance to be athletic in a successful way in the golf swing if one of those things is way out of wack.
How about a drill to make sure the toes of your shoes are properly aligned to target when you are putting? I have noticed people getting their toes out of alignment then keep missing putts until they get back into alignment.
Saw this vid of tiger a few months ago and never stuck to the drill. Micah, if you’re reading this will this video really help me? I’ve been playing for about 6 years and I’ve definitely gotten better, but feel like I haven’t made substantial progress.
Drills will help, but not if you arent spending a lot of time practicing in general. I got a range membership for a summer a few years ago and hit around 200 balls nearly every day for 3 months straight. I ended up taking about 8-10 strokes off my score (Mid high 80's down to high 70's) and built a foundation for further improvements over the last couple years. Currently sitting at a 1.7hc and attribute my game to that summer of hitting so many thousands of golf balls.
Take some lessons and practice what your pro prescribes. Give it time and you should see results. The longer you go swinging bad the harder it is to fix
@@corb135 the fact he thinks there's only a few players that come over the top is a statement of why he's not in touch with the real amateur golfing world and should stay clear of giving swing tips on TH-cam. Stick to the program Micah.

Micah what are some good drills to practice for consistent center face striking. I sometimes struggle with a toe strike.

Hence, Micah not really being a coach...
Enjoyed this. Do one for chipping types and putting
Putting drills next? These helped me get a shallow swing!
tension comment is great, no one ever mentions, but always helps me at the range!

Thanks for this Micah, simplified the club face and path for me better than most have.

Pressure is transferred to the front foot in the downswing. 99% of your weight should be on left foot at impact. For a righty.
@@Hillbillyspree I disagree. Your pressure re-centers prior to the completion of the back swing.

@@g4yrut Well part of the issue is that a lot of amateurs haven't gotten the basics right yet such as grip and set-up. You have very little chance to be athletic in a successful way in the golf swing if one of those things is way out of wack.
Here’s one
Hit the ball with your eyes closed
It enhances your feel and helps you identify precisely what you may be doing incorrectly
I play this way
How about a drill to make sure the toes of your shoes are properly aligned to target when you are putting? I have noticed people getting their toes out of alignment then keep missing putts until they get back into alignment.
Oh wow u found any yet?
@@PiePye Drill as in practice.
@@williammaddock9179 yeah Ik did you find any?
Enjoyed the tips, will help narrow my rang practice.
Keep trying to help us, the uncoordinated, unathletic, duffers. 😂
Can you talk about driver. I would really like to learn how to not slice the ball.
Saw this vid of tiger a few months ago and never stuck to the drill. Micah, if you’re reading this will this video really help me? I’ve been playing for about 6 years and I’ve definitely gotten better, but feel like I haven’t made substantial progress.
Drills will help, but not if you arent spending a lot of time practicing in general. I got a range membership for a summer a few years ago and hit around 200 balls nearly every day for 3 months straight. I ended up taking about 8-10 strokes off my score (Mid high 80's down to high 70's) and built a foundation for further improvements over the last couple years. Currently sitting at a 1.7hc and attribute my game to that summer of hitting so many thousands of golf balls.
Take some lessons and practice what your pro prescribes. Give it time and you should see results. The longer you go swinging bad the harder it is to fix
nice buddy. thank you
What brand shirt is that???
Tigers dad had him do that drill also growing up and he told a talk show that he absolutely hated it lol
You are barking up the wrong tree, Tig. 95 % of us come over the top and are in fact trying to hit inside out....
id imagine you just put the bag on the outside and it would do essentially the same thing, correct me if im wrong
He covers that in the video too, just mirror the position to the other side of the ball
Then watch one more drill.
@@corb135 the fact he thinks there's only a few players that come over the top is a statement of why he's not in touch with the real amateur golfing world and should stay clear of giving swing tips on TH-cam. Stick to the program Micah.
@@Mar10usss😅😅 I find it helpful. If you don't, stfu and move on. It's that easy.
This is unreal. Thanks for keeping it simple. Love it
Freezers=staying connected
Yes, great drill
Dude…JD Realmuto is your doppelgänger!
Fred Couples said that anyone who could stop at the top, then hit the ball solid can play golf.
