I also came across this channel by accident. My game has really gone downhill lately and felt very frustrated. I tried this today in the golf simulator and was really impressed by the way I could hit crisp irons repeatedly with what felt like less effort. Clubhead speed showed a marginal increase too. Many thanks.
Don’t hesitate!!!. Didn’t even hear about JV until Tuesday (18hcp) avg. 95+. Practiced for 2 days mostly into a net and went out today and outplayed everyone, shot an 86 on the toughest course in my area. All by just believing in the concept. I know for a fact I was still doing things that got me in trouble before but with Jim’s setup those slices went straighter and closer to target. Insane!!!!
Jim, one thing that helped me using your method. In addition to staying still, weight forward and closed shoulders , I pretended I had a football in between my arms all the way through the backswing and Downswing. This was amazing and my ball was launching even further and my ball striking was the best it’s ever been
I stumbled across your videos Saturday and today Monday (Sept 2022)I went to the range and used your set up and I will with out a doubt have to say I never hit the ball so crisp all I concentrated on was the weight on the bottom of my lead foot and not all the backswing B.S. Thank you for putting out these videos very much appreciated!!
Simply a different dynamic to the game than typically has been taught for eons. We and our human minds often get "trapped" into traditional methods and traditional thinking when in reality there simply might be a better/easier way to accomplish what we are trying to do. Jim's innovative thinking and teachings of a different and simpler way to get it done, is not only eye opening and refreshing, but it simply works! So sad that our society today is so hard to convince/change, in a lot of instances, when traditional methods have been the status quo for many years. Thanks Mr Venetos.....
Well, I do love the technique and incorporating aspects into my game, it is not that the golfing world is hard to convince or change, it is purely a world of many viewpoints and many, many, avenues of skinning the cat. So, if there were a de facto easier way to skin the cat; then a slew of followers would be at the door. Golf is so popular all across the world, and golf devices and golf instructors and golfing books and myriad of golfing videos and aids saturate the vast desert of the golfing oasis, so everyone throws their advice into the mix. People have varying approaches and biases and persuasions in golfing pursuits, it just so happens that the difficulty of the game seems to render the morass of ideas mute. But, the best ideas always have the strongest following, and perhaps the strongest staying power, however, none reach a dominant share of the market place of ideas.
New understanding: shoulder turn. I used to take pride when I could swing past the ball with my forward shoulder (I'm LH) -like it was the greatest accomplishment of my golfing career. A full turn!!!! It's hogwash. The opposite is actually true when the weight is forward, steady and still, and the best of all tempo finds itself. The arms do exactly what they're supposed to do, they return on a shallow path to the ball with minimal effort and a square strike. A square strike. Boom. Boom. Boom. The shoulders stay closed. And everything happens as it should...
@@bmatt9379 a long time...seriously, it's about staying forward and still. And then building natural swing from there. Sounds easy, right? No. I'm still working on it. I'm still working on how to set myself up so that 70% of my weight is is on my forward side (which for me is the right, because I'm LH). If you watch his videos you see how he barely moves to the side, and it's like whoa, hold on, Jim! How or what did you just do? It's magic. That's why he makes you join the village. He's not going to give it away. If you really want to see how he's transitioning weight and movement (critical), you have to pay for the monthly or yearly classes. For that, you get all the feedback you can ask for. All the answers he can give you. But there are no shortcuts. When he talks about 120 different swings, he's not kidding. That's about speed and power, but it's critical to becoming the best player you can be. I was a 5-handicap. I got a bad disease. The medicine affected my hand-eye-cooridination. And that was my game. I had to change to have any chance to play golf again at a single digit level. I had to learn how to swing cyclically. To take the hands out of it. I had to rely on precise body movements. Stillness. I'm not there, yet. But I'm getting there...
@@slewofdamascus That’s for the quick reply. A 5 hdcp! That’s impressive. Lowest I ever reached was 10.5. Have some back issues and 2 new hips, I just can’t play without pain. I think I’ll give it a try. Do you the little draw shot shape with this swing? I’ve tried it following the free you tubes and never found that ball flight, but I’m probably doing it wrong. Thanks again.
I can swing many different styles of swings which I've learnt from many trainers and they all work great. But Jim's method is my fav and so consistent. Its just about the setup and knowing what he means by keeping still. Then its practice and practice but the great thing is, when your bad shots turn out to be OK shots that's when it starts to feel amazing. I have so much fun with Jim's swing and its now my only swing
Jim, I really enjoy your videos. You make it simple, logical and easy to understand. As I am now in my early 60's, I've looked at several swing methods over the last couple of years to help with ball striking and consistancy. Most recently, I've tried the single plane method as taught by Todd Graves. That works somewhat, but I am going to switch to your method.
I played golf since the age of 11 and i have been in single figures handicap nearly all of the time, im 56 now and have been using jims method for a few months now and i can honestly say i have never ever been so confident over the ball in my life so thank you so much jim you have made it so brilliant and amazing but most importantly so simple wow, ⛳😁
I practiced using your system today was hitting a nice little draw and even try to swing hard just really focused on set up swing path setting up closed has always felt natural to me
I played yesterday and my friend was asking me what I had changed? I told him that I was trying a new swing and he said we have played all year together and he had not seen me make such good contact with my irons and my driver was about 30 yards longer than before. Thanks so much for your advice sir.
Hi Jim. I rarely here you discuss “keeping your head behind the ball”. Other instructors make a huge deal of this. How important is this in your approach? Is it something that I show focus on and spend a great deal of time perfecting? Thank you so much for doing what you do, it’s fantastic especially for me, a senior golfer.
I have a few videos out there discussing the topic. The position of your head is determined by pivoting in the set up properly and no, I don’t have a sense that my head is behind the ball
Hi Jim thanks so much for your videos for years I've worried too much about the position of my hands and arms during the swing and my body moves around every where your swing positioning really works for me just a couple of points in some of your videos your feet are square and sometimes closed do you close your stance when you pivot into your set up also ball positioning how is this achieved
I don’t need to be as closed to accomplish the swing I teach but the avid golfer does need to be deep closed so try to set 45deg closed from head to toe. All explained in my school.
Do you set up square to the target line I.e. Feet square and then pivot into your lead side? And from there, do you ignore your target line and up and down your body lines??
Negative. Your question is based upon your perception for alignment so you bring some baggage into the equation. I have many videos on alignment and the set up that will explain much better than I can in response to your comment. Sign up for my school and start improving now!
Weight and counterweight. I belive that JV set up really is a result of proper counterweight : When swinging your arms to your trial side you naturally should counterweight to your lead side. If not you either get to fare to your trial side with an ott as result - or you have to braze against your trial leg. But if you pre-swing with proper counterweight you auto get into JV pivot - and then swing your arms back you have to stay still until your arms get back in front of you.. 👍
Hi Jim: I am a female with a chest to worry about. I have been watching your videos and want to sign up but don't see any reference to female anatomy. I don't see any female comments either.
Copy that. The majority of my students are men but I’ve been teaching women successfully for 27 years. I find women are better students than many men. And yes, the swing can accommodate you…when you set your body closed you create the pathway for the club to swing.
You gotta do better than that. Take a stab at why you say no…please include your hcp with your response so we all know the level and understanding you are coming from.
Jeff, Jim will respond to your feedback if you give him something specific to respond to. He’s simply offering an easy way to move the club by staying still.
Definitely worth a look 👀 @JimVenetosGolfAcademy If you like golf ⛳️ this ⤴️ is it!! There’s enough ingredients here to lower many handicap… maybe much lower than what you think. If I were to approach Jim, I’d just ask him to start me from this video- no matter the level you’re in. …thanks for this vid, Jim, you are a giver.

The key to all construction related trades starts with body positioning, Will be putting these methods into my game.

damn loved this. i might have to rewatch it a few times.
Hi Jim, lil question if you don't mind please.
Would this help eliminate flipping/ scooping? Thankyou
Yes. Everything I teach helps to eliminate scooping.
At what time of downswing you open the chest? Post impact?
@@vimalmittal5603 well after impact
The shaft loads and unloads so good by staying closed

jim, preset,be still,be handsy to one oclock, I never chunk or top my shots no more, thx very ,very much
Where is that? Nevada?
Ok, what are the two posts for?
Yeah Babe. Anyone else get the Sammy Davis Jr. feel? Just imagining a cigarette in Jimmy’s left hand as he is explaining things…
Thank you
It’s like watching Iron Byron performance
Confused with ball position Jim.
Ball position is simply the opportunity to manipulate trajectory and spin. All explained in my school, sign up and check it out!
Jim, that's exactly what I'm trying to figure out. I'll be signing up in the next two weeks.
@@jimvenetosgolfJim, does your school have a lifetime price or is it only month-to-month?
@@michaelbarrett4952 monthly or annual
I have to stop trying so hard, but a nice tempo.more than not I swing much to hard.
