11 pm. I should be asleep. Instead I’m paying expedited shipping for an 85 dollar roller stool. 20 extra dollars so I can roll around on a stool in my garage this Saturday instead of next Tuesday.
10/10 - my life will never be the same. I’m absolutely no better at golf but my wife declared “this is the last straw” and took the kids upstate to stay with her mother when she walked in on me scooting around our living room while I squealed like a school girl. LGLG
WOW. Thank you!!! I've been trying for YEARS to figure out how to "use the ground" in my swing. I never understood it. For 40 years ALL my weight has always ended up on my right foot after every swing. I had no idea how people (long drivers) swung a golf club with their left foot coming off the ground. After watching the first minute of this video and seeing the rolling chair .. I got it!!! I just turned 50 and I've been playing for 40 years. Im a +1 but never been able to get over 100 swing speed. Got on trackman after seeing this and hit 107!! I haven't been this excited in years 😂😂. Thank you for simplifying this for me!
Incredibly informative!! I bet 99% of recreational golfers, including myself, go from shifting their weight laterally to rotation then rock and roll rather than shift rock and roll then rotate.
Everyone knows bathroom time is spent looking through your most important emails, tweets, etc. This video changed my life so much I found myself pushing with my left foot while on the porcelain fountain!
11/10 - Everything about my life has changed because of this move. Not only am I seeing more power in my golf swing, but I am now using ground forces in every day life. I am pushing off from the kitchen floor when beating my eggs on the morning, and my scrambled egg efficiency has increased tenfold. I am now more open to my target when weed whacking my lawn, which has created some interesting weedeater string divots in my Bermuda, but the HOA is no longer unhappy with my overgrown weed situation. Ground forces have led to new, interesting angles of lovemaking and my wife has never been happier.
I know golf instructors will often say “use the ground” but I think that message is misunderstood and I never truly realized how hard I needed to push with my left foot till now. This lesson is a game changer for myself and others. Thanks for putting this out there, would love to see a follow up. Great job guys!
How many golf pro are scratch golfers that have had zero tuision in how to teach or even know what they are doing to be able to tell somebody else how to do it. I'd say in over 50% of lessons I've had the "pro" have very poor teaching skills.
To say this video changed my life would be an understatement, before this video I would hit high, weak fades or overcompensate with hard snap hooks. After seeing this video it’s like a light shown down from the heavens and I was a new man. This afternoon I went out on the course, hit a few balls to warm up and while doing this the ball sounded different, it sounded like a real golf shot! I was hitting it further, purer (Lenny… queue the piercing trajectory music). I went out to play a quick 9 holes, but after 4 holes I was even… and felt like I had something. I didn’t have a miracle round, but I did shoot one of my best scores of my life. The driver is the weakest part of my game, but using this method made my driver a weapon today - I could count on where the ball would go, and I hit more fairways and hit it longer than I have. This was incredibly helpful and made today a great day! Can’t wait for my next round, hopefully with my new driver from Titleist!
10/10 life changer. I just upended our condo search and texted our realtor in the group chat with my wife that I need “space to roll around on a wheeled stool to change my life. No questions. Price and neighborhood are no longer important. LGLG.”
The feeling of slamming on the handbrake and posting up on the lead leg is the most vital move in the swing. It is pure power. This turned me from a 4-5 handicap to a consistent +2. 1:28 is just beautiful rotation. Pure power and speed right there. Ball strikers’ dream. ❤
Wow... that's one of those "lightbulb" moments... Love his 4 movements during the swing.. Lateral shift, rock n roll, twist, Jump.. I definitely Twist 2nd too like Mike. Can't wait to get to the range after seeing this to try work on this.
I would love to see the entire unedited version of this video 🙏🏻 Since finding it last night I’ve watched it at least 10x The information is priceless Thanks for putting it out there 👍
I give it uh A 10....a 10...a f***ing 10! As a life long early extender, I also was floored after doing those drills with the left foot that my early extension was fixed! Picked up 10 yards on my irons instantly. I just spoke with Art Vandelay, my importer and exporter to secure the finest wide base stool with rollerblade wheels to perfect my training. Add this to my list of increasing purchases based on your recommendations: Adam young strike plan, fit for golf app, stack system, golf metrics, the neck pillow, my goodr glasses and vuori clothes. I've improved from a 7 to a 2.1 and am hoping this left foot move can eliminate my 2 way miss and like you guys get to the finish line of scratch. LGLG
Holy shit this was an amazing video! Can’t wait to get to the range! I just found you guys about 2 weeks ago and I’ve straight up marathoned it all! I never looked ahead to see how long you guys kept it up, but I’m glad to see it’s still going, can’t wait to catch up on season 6! Let’s go let’s go Team Bear! Sorry Eli, love you too bro!
10/10 life changer. I sit here in the hospital with my new born daughter and the content of this video has equipped me with the tools to become a better father, a better man, and a better human. I am indebted to you eternally.
5/10, I have what you guys would call “major” tomorrow our bois annual golf trip…. so exactly what I need is a video to make me re evaluate my swing the day before! Cmon Rick 😂
i hope u get to read this comment. ive taken at least 1000 lessons, im currently a scratch golfer 0 hcp. in all the lessons ive taken, nobody explained me the essencials, it was all about "do this, do that" but nobody explained the sequence on how to actually move. i have seen this video about 4 weeks ago, and i can say my game has never been so consistent. my strikes are better, my distance has improved, and my confidence is in the sky. im from argentina, and id like to thank you. great job!
Gents, 10/10 I immediately shared your video with my TPI fitness class instructor - Hasentree CC in Wake Forest, NC. We were all sliding on stools in the fitness room during the next class. He and I hit the range to try Gregger's life-changing tip that afternoon. We were both bombing it. This 52-year-old has new hope on bombing it down the "Starting Line". cue the "After the Credits" music.
bro i was doing this in my living room and now i have goose bumps all over my body! Thank you Mike and Eli for making this channel and sharing you've changed my golf game and im sure alot of other's!
This is a phenomenal video - Dr. Greg explains it so clearly. I've had the same issue with my swing - the upper body twist before the R+R and jump (if I was even doing the jump at all), with early extension, being too steep, and a two-way miss. Amazing how pushing back with the lead foot helps shallow the arms and speeds them up. Great stuff.
Wow this is very revolutionary . I’m presuming the Federer feel is meant to help alter the sequence to rock before the left leg activation hip turn which would allow this in to out path . Still trying to understand the wrist maneuver on the early part of the down swing , the roll release makes sense but my left arm is way less coordinated so wondering if that part can be taken over by the left hand
10/10. Gave this a shot (I think) on the range and it was flush city. Can’t wait to get in the course. Random Gardner Webb college buddy: “Hey have you talked to Shade lately? What’s he up to?” Eli: “oh he’s doing well. He just found a life changer. Random GW guy: “did you say he’s changing lives? That’s great. Is he into philanthropy of some sort?” Eli:”No life changer. He found a golf move where he pushes back and forth on a stool for more power to his left foot on the sixth season of a show called chasing scratch” Lastly, I wanted it to be clear that I’m an Alumni (not of GW) and I’ll be giving away two Amazon Kindles
I tell the people on Reddit about this feeling. I don't take credit for it, but I can't imagine being new or intermediate golfer in learning to play and this tip not helping a great deal, especially when it's adults learning in their spare time. I was fortunate to have a lot of time I could devote to it as a teenager. It's such a great tip to get golfers to understand what needs to happen in the downswing.
Currently, this video ranks a solid 10/10 on the life-changing meter. As we all know, I am in the stage of this TH-cam swing video where I believe I have stumbled upon the secret golf tip I've been searching for my whole life. And you know what? I genuinely think this might be the one... Now, let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible journey Mike has undertaken in this podcast. It wasn't too long ago that one of his season goals was to ban all viewing of TH-cam videos. And now, here we are, witnessing a full circle moment. Could it be possible that he's now creating the very videos he once swore off? The irony is simply delicious!
5/10 life changer since it only affects the 5 toes on my front leg. Seriously though, I've been trying this move at my desk all morning. Mike, if you're not yelling "Daniel Day Lewis ain't got NOTHING on me!" at the top of your lungs after you pure a drive with the "Mike's left foot" move, I'll be disappointed. LGLG!
10/10 changed my life. Tried this immediately after watching in my back yard against a net, snapped hooked it directly into my garage. Worth it. My left quad already looks freakin JACKED. LG LG
I have been struggling with an outside in move this year. I have always been a right to left player and suddenly I was fading/slicing and starting the ball left. These couple of visualization ideas are going to transform my swing immediately. My swing thought to address this before now was to really think about dropping my hands down from the top, but I was not clearing my left hip out, so everything got stuck. I was trying to figure out a swing feel/thought that would help me clear that hip but I haven't been able to do that consistently. Now that I see this heel pivot, I've got my visual image and my swing feel. Gonna need a lot of repetition, but I can see it now. Practice range, here I come.
10/10 - Usually training tips and tricks videos never make any sense to me, its always some sort of gimmicky thing. Definitely always trying to sell something, some aid or whatever. Only to be disappointed after spending money on some useless product. Never in a million years did I think pushing off with the left foot would make so much sense. Truth be told, I probably should have stopped buying stuff was sooner. Warped my ENTIRE perception of ground forces in the swing! Admittedly I'm not the best golfer (20-ish handicap), but this moves makes so much sense. Normally I am pushing with the right foot but getting on my office chair and pushing was CRAZY. Tomorrow I am definitely pushing off the rotary chairs (never knew they were called that) in the office. Thanks a TON for putting this video out. Helpful, informative, short and sweet. It's AWESOME. Surprised I have never seen stuff like this before. So I guess that's the comment. Move over me and my golf, it's the Dr. Greggers show now. Onward to lower handicaps! Keep fighting. Eventually you'll read the first letter of every sentence... #LGLG
15/10. I’m 38 and played golf for 35 years. I’ve been all-State in highschool and played a bit in college. Not once have I ever thought about my left foot. Ever. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that. My father hasn’t thought about his left foot either.) my mind is blown and I was rolling around the kitchen in a rolling chair. I’m in. Let’s go let’s go.
Crazy good stuff!! I just went into my man cave and hit balls on the sim for over an hour and my numbers are way up! The feel of leaning to the left and pushing forward and off the left foot is adding so much power. Thanks for the vid
Ok, so I've listened to every single episode of your podcast and there have been a few round-changing, weekend-changing and even practice-changing episodes. This video though, THIS drill, this is LIFE CHANGING! Like, I respect that your scale goes from 1-10, but this one is special. This one goes to 11. Right across the board. 11. You're at a 10 with your swing, where else can you go? Nowhere. This is that extra push over the cliff. Not only did I realize what my left foot is really for in the swing, I realized I've been training for this moment my entire life! Now I just need to feel it. That chair push that I've been doing since the first time I sat in a chair with wheels. This one goes to 11. Kudos to Craigers, Yeah to Neil, Attaboy to Gary.
Had a rotary stool that was narrow based… tried to do the drill before I got to the end of the video and it slipped up underneath me and I will now see Dr. Greggers, not for golf, but for my broken back I just got. 10/10 life change I would say.
Im a self taught golfer which badically means I watched every athletic motion golf video etc to understand the mechanics and film myself. However that approach sometimes puts me into a too robotic mode where I think I need to hit these positions and the tempo and smoothness goes out of the window. This video shows me how important good intuitive coaching is as I tried these things on the video and it automatically changed my swing forever. Thanks!
God I wish I had a coach like this years ago. I got to a plus handicap without this move. Short hitter, flippy, but made it work. A few months ago I figured out this move and suddenly I'm hitting it miles further than I ever have before. Such a good lesson and given in a great way by an obviously skilled coach.
Sooooooo. Mike that look on your face is pure astonishment when you know you have a missing piece, pure holy grail WOW that felt awesome, can't believe I can really do this moment, I need to hug this dude. LET ME LOOSE ON THE COURSE BABY. Fabulous to watch. Now having tried it I need to hug this Guy Too. Nothing else for it. pure emotion 😍😁
10/10. That was a Ted Lasso-level inspiring game-changer, making his miraculous turnarounds look like child's play. In the words of Coach Lasso himself, “Taking on a challenge is a lot like riding a horse, isn’t it? If you’re comfortable while you’re doing it, you’re probably doing it wrong.” UPDATE: 10/10 while watching the video; -10/10 after trying it out on the range. I have more swing thoughts in my head than the Velcro-inspired rant from Eli (circa season 2). Will try again in the off-season!
HI Guys Great Video, when Greg talks about the hands @12.49 in video would love to see the club face, and full view .I think i get it but would of been nice to see full shot , great transformation cheers mal
Thank you for reminding me why my longest flat drive was 290 starting this year and who I have found the shanks. I stood up and pushed back and up on my left foot and the rythmn returned instantly. I often tell new golfers to not go down the TH-cam rabbit hole because it's too much. They need to learn the foundation and go from there. I know about lift and driving my feet into the ground. Trapping and grip and all that. I'm crisp at times and unpolished on certain shots. Was a short game beast around the green today. Chipping within 3 for up and downs. Found some fairways with this weird push right when I normally have a slight fade when it all works. I call it timing, or synching, but you are dead right when you said left leg. My buddies newbie girlfriend said I wasn't rotating🤦 20 years in on this crap and she was right. I've been so focused on shot shape, and the hard iron shots that are awesome to hit, that I have left my game naked. I now firmly believe that the rabbit hole, is where you should live to stay on top of you game. I learned grip adjustments and was reminded of the basics. We play with the clubs in the bag and the game we brought that day. Adjusting in the moment is key. Problems without solutions cause bad scores.
10+! Awesome job guys. I have been really struggling with this for years and I’ve never heard an instructor talk about it or demonstrate it this way! Quite possibly the missing link where it feels like everything is coming together!
10/10 Life Changing Event, I'm in the process of divorcing my wife and putting my unborn children up for adoption to visit Dr Greggers Rose for that left foot magic.
I already avg 4 - 5 birdies a round, so I was skeptical about this technique offering my game anything special.. so I did a field test on my local 9 hole course.. I was wrong.. first I took it to the range until I got the feel.. then out to the course where I gained 20 yds or more on every drive.. even a 325 yds drive to a par 4 green!! This made it a lot easier to shoot even lower scores, easily getting up and down with my short game.. The result, my best round ever there with an 8 under 25!! just missing one, putt on a par 3.. which just grazed the right edge.. Thank you, Dr. Rose! Wow, I am on a golf high all day.. I am usually worn out hitting 280+ drives all day.. my usual is, 250 carry and 277.. but Damn! the title says it all, it's a game changer.. and u can shape the shots and control trajectory as well.. by timing or applying varying degrees of the 4 driver swing components, but only thing this video does not focus on are: compression, angle of attack and swing path which are equally important to getting the most out of these type of shots shots and taking ur game to another level.. the science and physics is solid.. it is truly and legit method / revelation!
Very informative! ‘Use the ground’ debunked. Knowing the kinetic sequence is the key to properly using the ground. Can’t wait to give it a try and cure my #1 swing flaw which is early extension.
8/10 life changing. The left foot technique was awesome to watch and learn, the two point deduction is due to my husband annoying me every day about commenting on this video. I can't wait to win the driver, never let him use it, and then start my own podcast about how I became a scratch golfer with a TSR Titleist driver. Thanks!
Can't wait to try this. I've done a some work with feeling more of the lead toe pushing off for the downswing (kind of what Mike was doing in the stool at first) with good results. This seems to be more like a rocking toe to heel push off. Great stuff with the other Greggers.
@@flipdawhip2573 I'm still getting a little better results from simply pushing off the ball of the lead (left for RH golfers) foot vs rocking to the heel.
I LOVE THIS SO HARD! I don't want to go trying this willy-nilly by myself but it sure does change the way I think about the swing work I'm doing and how I'm trying to get a lot different new moving parts to synch up. Thanks, guys!
10/10 - There I was going through my work emails ("swish, swish"), when I got an unexpected text from my buddy encouraging me to watch this video. Here's part of his message: "Rob, do you want to hear a scary story? Greg's video basically saved my life. I was literally in the gutter and it was gambling, drugs, women, and lotto (well that's basically gambling). I was looking the grim reaper in his eyes...and then I was saved by watching this video." You can imagine the emotions running through me when I received that text. Inspired by my favorite "football" coach, I immediately responded that, in an act of solidarity I would watch the entire video without using my hands (which apparently is perfectly legal). Anyhow, I give this life-saving video a 10 only because I can't give it an 11! Greg is an excellent teacher and I have a knowingness inside of me that this will also help me with my 2-way misses.
8/10 Overall great stuff, I would love to see more episodes like this, it's insight for those of us who will never realistically be able to go to TPI. I would like to also say, this Federer move really sounds a lot like Eli's beautiful mind tangent about where the velcro needs to be, he was right all along. Going to be implementing this tomorrow on day 1 of our member-guest, new things always work for me before big rounds and i'm not superstitious but i am a little stitious.
Great lesson! OMG I actually Understand what "use the ground" means now and what "downswing goes bottom-up" means. If you apply the converse lesson to your trail foot, you can generate amazing coil / power / torque / strength going back as well!!!! I don't hold the club nearly as firmly either ... when's episode 2 and 3 comin' out????? (still haven't hit a ball yet but wow can I feel the difference)
10/10 this will change my life. What I needed in my golf game was to get to the top of my backswing and then think shift, tilt, twist, jump while hitting a tennis forehand shot. I have played my buddy for 10 years and never beaten him but he’s living on borrowed time now! Lord please no rain this weekend, I’ve got a business trip to take care of on the course.
Amazing! These guys are SO GOOD! Will try the left foot story... this actually might be very similar to the body mechanics behind the "stack & tilt" swing that really worked well for me! LGLG
This was a supremely helpful video. One question - why is the massive left heel lift not corrected as part of the “ground power” transference? Seems like lifting the heel causes loss of contact and power, like a car tire leaving the track
10/10 life changing. Now desperately trying to work out how to integrate the purchase of a rotating stool! Great to see how much pleasure this give you, which you then share.
Ok so I’m am amputee golfer and I just got a new attachment. With the new attachment I couldn’t hit my 8 and 9 the distance I use to. My swing was just a path hoola-hoop type swing. So I took lessons start dropping the arm & my swing coach as been trying to get me to rotate the hips. I am in my office with my coworkers looking at me as I push my chair around my cube. I went to the bathroom to practice my swing in private and this new move has changed my life. I’m on my way to practice this move at the range after I get home and walk the dog. Thanks for posting this.
I loved this video! it is very revealing about what the left leg.foot does in transition. Are there drills for the practice range where high handicapped players can work on this? I think this is exactly what is robbing my distance and consistency. Thanks for the video!
This one move is something i focused on before for one range session and that session was fantastic, then i completely forgot what i was doing. This video just reminded me and ive just been to the driving range. 7 irons gone from avg 155 to 169. Driver has gone from 235 avg to 260-270 and remarkably better dispersion. Felt absolutely fantastic and balls felt like they rocketed! Managed to get 155 ball speed with driver where im normally getting 139-142 10/10 would bang
Great video. Convinced that the best instruction right now is coming from the swing catalyst guys. Also, watch all of Mike adams, Scott Lynn, terry Rowes.
11/10. I’m so pissed that I found this at 40 and not 20. This is an unreal video. I have some work to do now. But this changed my outlook. I've been working on rotation and compression but it's so hard to get it stick. Never seen this taught like this before and can't wait to get working on it.
10/10 - I was so excited to try the chair drills I missed Greg’s advice at the end on where to do said drills. Floors changed forever #CreatingScratches
11 pm. I should be asleep. Instead I’m paying expedited shipping for an 85 dollar roller stool. 20 extra dollars so I can roll around on a stool in my garage this Saturday instead of next Tuesday.
What brand did you go with?
10/10 - my life will never be the same. I’m absolutely no better at golf but my wife declared “this is the last straw” and took the kids upstate to stay with her mother when she walked in on me scooting around our living room while I squealed like a school girl. LGLG
She went to her boyfriends place, dude.. hate to break the news to you.
@@kiddytube3915 sounds like he doesn’t care either way! Just happy he can enjoy golf again!

Dude this episode was one of the best I’ve ever seen and it created a lightbulb moment! Thanks for posting this
WOW. Thank you!!! I've been trying for YEARS to figure out how to "use the ground" in my swing. I never understood it.

Awesome video - I’m 49 and chasing scratch from a 5.3 hcp. The process is so fulfilling I can’t describe it!! Thank you for sharing your journey
10/10 - And on this day, Dr Greggers descended from the heavens and blessed us with another commandment. "Roll thy stool." And it was good.

To say this video changed my life would be an understatement, before this video I would hit high, weak fades or overcompensate with hard snap hooks. After seeing this video it’s like a light shown down from the heavens and I was a new man. This afternoon I went out on the course, hit a few balls to warm up and while doing this the ball sounded different, it sounded like a real golf shot!

Is this technique only relevant for driver, or for irons too?
Irons too@@agarwal38
10/10 life changer. I just upended our condo search and texted our realtor in the group chat with my wife that I need “space to roll around on a wheeled stool to change my life. No questions. Price and neighborhood are no longer important. LGLG.”
Best Golf instructional video on YT. Absolutely game changer. Thank you for posting this, I already ordered my chair.
Cheers✌️
The feeling of slamming on the handbrake and posting up on the lead leg is the most vital move in the swing. It is pure power. This turned me from a 4-5 handicap to a consistent +2.
1:28 is just beautiful rotation. Pure power and speed right there. Ball strikers’ dream. ❤
One of your best videos so far guys!
Please never take this video down.... It's perfect .. exactly what I needed!
Wow, so many things click here. This is SOLID GOLD. Thank you for sharing.
Wow... that's one of those "lightbulb" moments... Love his 4 movements during the swing.. Lateral shift, rock n roll, twist, Jump.. I definitely Twist 2nd too like Mike.
Can't wait to get to the range after seeing this to try work on this.
I would love to see the entire unedited version of this video 🙏🏻
Since finding it last night I’ve watched it at least 10x
The information is priceless
Thanks for putting it out there 👍
you have the important info in the edit.
I've seen 100s of golf instruction videos on YT. This is hands down the best imo.
I give it uh A 10....a 10...a f***ing 10! As a life long early extender, I also was floored after doing those drills with the left foot that my early extension was fixed! Picked up 10 yards on my irons instantly. I just spoke with Art Vandelay, my importer and exporter to secure the finest wide base stool with rollerblade wheels to perfect my training. Add this to my list of increasing purchases based on your recommendations: Adam young strike plan, fit for golf app, stack system, golf metrics, the neck pillow, my goodr glasses and vuori clothes. I've improved from a 7 to a 2.1 and am hoping this left foot move can eliminate my 2 way miss and like you guys get to the finish line of scratch. LGLG
I will watch this over and over again. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
We’ve now come full circle. From avoiding TH-cam golf instruction to contributing to it. I love it hahaha
Just found this channel and loved the video. Excited to see the rest of the series with Dr. Greg Rose. Subscribed!
Holy shit this was an amazing video! Can’t wait to get to the range! I just found you guys about 2 weeks ago and I’ve straight up marathoned it all! I never looked ahead to see how long you guys kept it up, but I’m glad to see it’s still going, can’t wait to catch up on season 6! Let’s go let’s go Team Bear! Sorry Eli, love you too bro!
10/10 life changer. I sit here in the hospital with my new born daughter and the content of this video has equipped me with the tools to become a better father, a better man, and a better human. I am indebted to you eternally.
Thank you for sharing this, it was the missing piece I was looking for, that stool drill is genius! 🙏
Can’t believe this is free. What a great concept and lesson. Thanks for sharing
Whoa! All I can say. Great video. Great instructor. Great pupil. Thanks guys.
5/10, I have what you guys would call “major” tomorrow our bois annual golf trip…. so exactly what I need is a video to make me re evaluate my swing the day before! Cmon Rick 😂
Brilliant, the swing sequence and target feels (following my recent visit to the range) feel like a game changer!
i hope u get to read this comment.
ive taken at least 1000 lessons, im currently a scratch golfer 0 hcp. in all the lessons ive taken, nobody explained me the essencials, it was all about "do this, do that" but nobody explained the sequence on how to actually move. i have seen this video about 4 weeks ago, and i can say my game has never been so consistent. my strikes are better, my distance has improved, and my confidence is in the sky. im from argentina, and id like to thank you. great job!
THREE OF TEN. TRIED THIS MOVE AND LOOKED LIKE SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER SHUFFLING ON AN ICY SIDEWALK TRYING TO HIT A DRIVE WHILE SUFFERING FROM VERTIGO.
are you sure that’s a 3 of 10? lol
Hahahaha
Scottie needs a stool!
100% no chance any of these guys are going to do this after the age of 40 or 45. good luck. Build a swing for life, not tomorrow.
Never trust a comment SHOUTER!!!
This helped me finally understand how the sequence works. Had a good range session yesterday. Excellent information.
Gents, 10/10 I immediately shared your video with my TPI fitness class instructor - Hasentree CC in Wake Forest, NC. We were all sliding on stools in the fitness room during the next class. He and I hit the range to try Gregger's life-changing tip that afternoon. We were both bombing it. This 52-year-old has new hope on bombing it down the "Starting Line". cue the "After the Credits" music.
Excellent video, I am now understand more how to use the left foot and ground level to produce power.
bro i was doing this in my living room and now i have goose bumps all over my body! Thank you Mike and Eli for making this channel and sharing you've changed my golf game and im sure alot of other's!
This is a phenomenal video - Dr. Greg explains it so clearly. I've had the same issue with my swing - the upper body twist before the R+R and jump (if I was even doing the jump at all), with early extension, being too steep, and a two-way miss. Amazing how pushing back with the lead foot helps shallow the arms and speeds them up. Great stuff.
Wow this is very revolutionary . I’m presuming the Federer feel is meant to help alter the sequence to rock before the left leg activation hip turn which would allow this in to out path . Still trying to understand the wrist maneuver on the early part of the down swing , the roll release makes sense but my left arm is way less coordinated so wondering if that part can be taken over by the left hand
The best golf lesson for the past 10 years
This was, hands down, the coolest golf lesson I've ever witnessed! Why aren't all MY lessons like this?! 😅
10/10. Gave this a shot (I think) on the range and it was flush city. Can’t wait to get in the course.
Random Gardner Webb college buddy: “Hey have you talked to Shade lately? What’s he up to?”
Eli: “oh he’s doing well. He just found a life changer.
Random GW guy: “did you say he’s changing lives? That’s great. Is he into philanthropy of some sort?”
Eli:”No life changer. He found a golf move where he pushes back and forth on a stool for more power to his left foot on the sixth season of a show called chasing scratch”
Lastly, I wanted it to be clear that I’m an Alumni (not of GW) and I’ll be giving away two Amazon Kindles
My instructor and I are working on this left foot move and the release and the order of movement. The chair helped a lot. Thx.
I tell the people on Reddit about this feeling. I don't take credit for it, but I can't imagine being new or intermediate golfer in learning to play and this tip not helping a great deal, especially when it's adults learning in their spare time. I was fortunate to have a lot of time I could devote to it as a teenager. It's such a great tip to get golfers to understand what needs to happen in the downswing.
Currently, this video ranks a solid 10/10 on the life-changing meter. As we all know, I am in the stage of this TH-cam swing video where I believe I have stumbled upon the secret golf tip I've been searching for my whole life. And you know what? I genuinely think this might be the one...
Now, let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible journey Mike has undertaken in this podcast. It wasn't too long ago that one of his season goals was to ban all viewing of TH-cam videos. And now, here we are, witnessing a full circle moment. Could it be possible that he's now creating the very videos he once swore off? The irony is simply delicious!
Eli's comment -- new segment "Stool Sample' had me laughing embarrassingly loud from my office. Love it!
Fantastic video! I can’t wait to see what comes next.
5/10 life changer since it only affects the 5 toes on my front leg. Seriously though, I've been trying this move at my desk all morning. Mike, if you're not yelling "Daniel Day Lewis ain't got NOTHING on me!" at the top of your lungs after you pure a drive with the "Mike's left foot" move, I'll be disappointed. LGLG!
10/10 changed my life. Tried this immediately after watching in my back yard against a net, snapped hooked it directly into my garage. Worth it. My left quad already looks freakin JACKED. LG LG
I have been struggling with an outside in move this year. I have always been a right to left player and suddenly I was fading/slicing and starting the ball left. These couple of visualization ideas are going to transform my swing immediately. My swing thought to address this before now was to really think about dropping my hands down from the top, but I was not clearing my left hip out, so everything got stuck. I was trying to figure out a swing feel/thought that would help me clear that hip but I haven't been able to do that consistently. Now that I see this heel pivot, I've got my visual image and my swing feel. Gonna need a lot of repetition, but I can see it now. Practice range, here I come.
Awesome!! The information us hackers never get. Thanks to you guys and Titleist.
This is an insane analysis. So happy I stumbled on this video.
10/10 - Usually training tips and tricks videos never make any sense to me, its always some sort of gimmicky thing. Definitely always trying to sell something, some aid or whatever. Only to be disappointed after spending money on some useless product. Never in a million years did I think pushing off with the left foot would make so much sense. Truth be told, I probably should have stopped buying stuff was sooner.
Warped my ENTIRE perception of ground forces in the swing! Admittedly I'm not the best golfer (20-ish handicap), but this moves makes so much sense. Normally I am pushing with the right foot but getting on my office chair and pushing was CRAZY. Tomorrow I am definitely pushing off the rotary chairs (never knew they were called that) in the office.
Thanks a TON for putting this video out. Helpful, informative, short and sweet. It's AWESOME. Surprised I have never seen stuff like this before.
So I guess that's the comment. Move over me and my golf, it's the Dr. Greggers show now. Onward to lower handicaps! Keep fighting. Eventually you'll read the first letter of every sentence...
#LGLG
I watched this video about a year before I listened to the first ever episode of the podcast. And naturally I have found my way back
Incredible stuff. It’s amazing how a good teacher can ingrain a feel in a “silly” way
Really hope we get to hear/see more information about these moves!!
15/10. I’m 38 and played golf for 35 years. I’ve been all-State in highschool and played a bit in college. Not once have I ever thought about my left foot. Ever. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that. My father hasn’t thought about his left foot either.) my mind is blown and I was rolling around the kitchen in a rolling chair. I’m in. Let’s go let’s go.
This is the greatest video I have seen to help with my golf swing. Thank you so much for creating this.
Crazy good stuff!! I just went into my man cave and hit balls on the sim for over an hour and my numbers are way up! The feel of leaning to the left and pushing forward and off the left foot is adding so much power. Thanks for the vid
Ok, so I've listened to every single episode of your podcast and there have been a few round-changing, weekend-changing and even practice-changing episodes.
This video though, THIS drill, this is LIFE CHANGING! Like, I respect that your scale goes from 1-10, but this one is special. This one goes to 11. Right across the board. 11. You're at a 10 with your swing, where else can you go? Nowhere. This is that extra push over the cliff.
Not only did I realize what my left foot is really for in the swing, I realized I've been training for this moment my entire life! Now I just need to feel it. That chair push that I've been doing since the first time I sat in a chair with wheels. This one goes to 11.
Kudos to Craigers, Yeah to Neil, Attaboy to Gary.
This is probably the best golf lesson I have ever seen. The breakdown of the explanation is so good.
Had a rotary stool that was narrow based… tried to do the drill before I got to the end of the video and it slipped up underneath me and I will now see Dr. Greggers, not for golf, but for my broken back I just got. 10/10 life change I would say.
Im a self taught golfer which badically means I watched every athletic motion golf video etc to understand the mechanics and film myself. However that approach sometimes puts me into a too robotic mode where I think I need to hit these positions and the tempo and smoothness goes out of the window. This video shows me how important good intuitive coaching is as I tried these things on the video and it automatically changed my swing forever. Thanks!
God I wish I had a coach like this years ago. I got to a plus handicap without this move. Short hitter, flippy, but made it work. A few months ago I figured out this move and suddenly I'm hitting it miles further than I ever have before. Such a good lesson and given in a great way by an obviously skilled coach.
10/10 - Fantastic thought to add to work on foot pressure. This on top of a few other drills finally got my hands in front of the ball at impact.
Sooooooo. Mike that look on your face is pure astonishment when you know you have a missing piece, pure holy grail WOW that felt awesome, can't believe I can really do this moment, I need to hug this dude. LET ME LOOSE ON THE COURSE BABY. Fabulous to watch. Now having tried it I need to hug this Guy Too. Nothing else for it. pure emotion 😍😁
10/10 this move is absolute gold! Makes me want to launch a shoe at a wall and blame it on somebody else!
BEST ADVICE EVAR! I need this!
Great stuff as always, guys. Keep it up!
This is awesome content, my friend is trying to go high level amateur and I'm gonna send him some of this stuff so he can work on his foot pressures.
10/10. That was a Ted Lasso-level inspiring game-changer, making his miraculous turnarounds look like child's play. In the words of Coach Lasso himself, “Taking on a challenge is a lot like riding a horse, isn’t it? If you’re comfortable while you’re doing it, you’re probably doing it wrong.” UPDATE: 10/10 while watching the video; -10/10 after trying it out on the range. I have more swing thoughts in my head than the Velcro-inspired rant from Eli (circa season 2). Will try again in the off-season!
HI Guys Great Video, when Greg talks about the hands @12.49 in video would love to see the club face, and full view .I think i get it but would of been nice to see full shot , great transformation cheers mal
Thank you for reminding me why my longest flat drive was 290 starting this year and who I have found the shanks. I stood up and pushed back and up on my left foot and the rythmn returned instantly. I often tell new golfers to not go down the TH-cam rabbit hole because it's too much. They need to learn the foundation and go from there. I know about lift and driving my feet into the ground. Trapping and grip and all that. I'm crisp at times and unpolished on certain shots. Was a short game beast around the green today. Chipping within 3 for up and downs. Found some fairways with this weird push right when I normally have a slight fade when it all works. I call it timing, or synching, but you are dead right when you said left leg. My buddies newbie girlfriend said I wasn't rotating🤦 20 years in on this crap and she was right. I've been so focused on shot shape, and the hard iron shots that are awesome to hit, that I have left my game naked. I now firmly believe that the rabbit hole, is where you should live to stay on top of you game. I learned grip adjustments and was reminded of the basics. We play with the clubs in the bag and the game we brought that day. Adjusting in the moment is key. Problems without solutions cause bad scores.
10+! Awesome job guys. I have been really struggling with this for years and I’ve never heard an instructor talk about it or demonstrate it this way! Quite possibly the missing link where it feels like everything is coming together!
Great video guys, amazing help for proper lower body movement on a drive. But where’s the next video with Eli? We need it 🙏
10/10 Life Changing Event, I'm in the process of divorcing my wife and putting my unborn children up for adoption to visit Dr Greggers Rose for that left foot magic.
10/10 This move has me spinning around in my office chair through the cubicles at work. Lenny cue the beautiful mind music.
I already avg 4 - 5 birdies a round, so I was skeptical about this technique offering my game anything special.. so I did a field test on my local 9 hole course.. I was wrong.. first I took it to the range until I got the feel.. then out to the course where I gained 20 yds or more on every drive.. even a 325 yds drive to a par 4 green!! This made it a lot easier to shoot even lower scores, easily getting up and down with my short game.. The result, my best round ever there with an 8 under 25!! just missing one, putt on a par 3.. which just grazed the right edge.. Thank you, Dr. Rose! Wow, I am on a golf high all day.. I am usually worn out hitting 280+ drives all day.. my usual is, 250 carry and 277.. but Damn! the title says it all, it's a game changer.. and u can shape the shots and control trajectory as well.. by timing or applying varying degrees of the 4 driver swing components, but only thing this video does not focus on are: compression, angle of attack and swing path which are equally important to getting the most out of these type of shots shots and taking ur game to another level.. the science and physics is solid.. it is truly and legit method / revelation!
Very informative! ‘Use the ground’ debunked. Knowing the kinetic sequence is the key to properly using the ground. Can’t wait to give it a try and cure my #1 swing flaw which is early extension.
8/10 life changing. The left foot technique was awesome to watch and learn, the two point deduction is due to my husband annoying me every day about commenting on this video. I can't wait to win the driver, never let him use it, and then start my own podcast about how I became a scratch golfer with a TSR Titleist driver. Thanks!
Can't wait to try this. I've done a some work with feeling more of the lead toe pushing off for the downswing (kind of what Mike was doing in the stool at first) with good results. This seems to be more like a rocking toe to heel push off. Great stuff with the other Greggers.
is that the sauce, using the inside of left foot to push (big toe)?
@@flipdawhip2573 I'm still getting a little better results from simply pushing off the ball of the lead (left for RH golfers) foot vs rocking to the heel.
This episode changed the way I view the golf swing - Just wow!
I LOVE THIS SO HARD!
I don't want to go trying this willy-nilly by myself but it sure does change the way I think about the swing work I'm doing and how I'm trying to get a lot different new moving parts to synch up. Thanks, guys!
10/10 life-changing. And all this time I've been going through such pain and personal anguish. Such HELL! FOR NOTHING!
10/10 - There I was going through my work emails ("swish, swish"), when I got an unexpected text from my buddy encouraging me to watch this video. Here's part of his message: "Rob, do you want to hear a scary story? Greg's video basically saved my life. I was literally in the gutter and it was gambling, drugs, women, and lotto (well that's basically gambling). I was looking the grim reaper in his eyes...and then I was saved by watching this video." You can imagine the emotions running through me when I received that text. Inspired by my favorite "football" coach, I immediately responded that, in an act of solidarity I would watch the entire video without using my hands (which apparently is perfectly legal). Anyhow, I give this life-saving video a 10 only because I can't give it an 11! Greg is an excellent teacher and I have a knowingness inside of me that this will also help me with my 2-way misses.
8/10 Overall great stuff, I would love to see more episodes like this, it's insight for those of us who will never realistically be able to go to TPI.
I would like to also say, this Federer move really sounds a lot like Eli's beautiful mind tangent about where the velcro needs to be, he was right all along.
Going to be implementing this tomorrow on day 1 of our member-guest, new things always work for me before big rounds and i'm not superstitious but i am a little stitious.
Great lesson! OMG I actually Understand what "use the ground" means now and what "downswing goes bottom-up" means. If you apply the converse lesson to your trail foot, you can generate amazing coil / power / torque / strength going back as well!!!! I don't hold the club nearly as firmly either ... when's episode 2 and 3 comin' out?????
(still haven't hit a ball yet but wow can I feel the difference)
10/10 this will change my life. What I needed in my golf game was to get to the top of my backswing and then think shift, tilt, twist, jump while hitting a tennis forehand shot. I have played my buddy for 10 years and never beaten him but he’s living on borrowed time now! Lord please no rain this weekend, I’ve got a business trip to take care of on the course.
Amazing! These guys are SO GOOD! Will try the left foot story... this actually might be very similar to the body mechanics behind the "stack & tilt" swing that really worked well for me! LGLG
i listened to the podcast, and went to watch this immediately
This was a supremely helpful video. One question - why is the massive left heel lift not corrected as part of the “ground power” transference? Seems like lifting the heel causes loss of contact and power, like a car tire leaving the track
Can't wait to see how this influences the Stack speeds!
Yes. That's it. Always has been it. Great to see it confirmed with data. Love it!
Spintastic! Next up: The baseball bat forehead spin drill for swing balance. Trust me; it works!
10/10 life changing. Now desperately trying to work out how to integrate the purchase of a rotating stool! Great to see how much pleasure this give you, which you then share.
Ok so I’m am amputee golfer and I just got a new attachment. With the new attachment I couldn’t hit my 8 and 9 the distance I use to. My swing was just a path hoola-hoop type swing. So I took lessons start dropping the arm & my swing coach as been trying to get me to rotate the hips. I am in my office with my coworkers looking at me as I push my chair around my cube. I went to the bathroom to practice my swing in private and this new move has changed my life. I’m on my way to practice this move at the range after I get home and walk the dog. Thanks for posting this.
I loved this video! it is very revealing about what the left leg.foot does in transition. Are there drills for the practice range where high handicapped players can work on this? I think this is exactly what is robbing my distance and consistency. Thanks for the video!
This one move is something i focused on before for one range session and that session was fantastic, then i completely forgot what i was doing. This video just reminded me and ive just been to the driving range. 7 irons gone from avg 155 to 169. Driver has gone from 235 avg to 260-270 and remarkably better dispersion. Felt absolutely fantastic and balls felt like they rocketed! Managed to get 155 ball speed with driver where im normally getting 139-142
10/10 would bang
Great video. Convinced that the best instruction right now is coming from the swing catalyst guys. Also, watch all of Mike adams, Scott Lynn, terry Rowes.
11/10. I’m so pissed that I found this at 40 and not 20. This is an unreal video. I have some work to do now. But this changed my outlook. I've been working on rotation and compression but it's so hard to get it stick. Never seen this taught like this before and can't wait to get working on it.
10/10 - I was so excited to try the chair drills I missed Greg’s advice at the end on where to do said drills. Floors changed forever #CreatingScratches
Looking forward to the next two episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
