I'm currently stuck at a 9 handicap and plan to incorporate your teaching ( solely ) this year. I'm liking what I see and hear and hope this will be a breakthrough for me. My tendency has been to jump from one tip to another, but this approach has failed to improve my swing and my golf game. Will keep you posted ! (P.S.Love watching your videos as they are clear and concise.) Cheers Mike.
As a dismal player my whole life…infrequent lessons, inconsistent practice, irregular play, you’ve given me hope and inspiration. As a senior now, I hope to break 100.
Thanks Steve, basic setup reminders are crucial, I sore this in the old golden bear video, jack stresses this also, and really does correct some bad habits we tend to fall into, keep them coming love your channel
Gold dust, , would love to have a balanced finish but something is awry with my swing cause I’m always off balance. I hit a lot of hooks and blocks with driver but still manage a 4 hcap. Would love to get to 2. Thanks for your help today
Steve I think the best part of the Austin swing is you are chasing/guessing as to what the power source is... so i can relax over shots and I am know I am not goose anything. Every ball I hit is solid. I am working now on rolling left arm/bend through the release. In that effort I was shocked the ball didn’t hook. It goes dead straight and if anything it has tighten up my ball flight. Thanks again for the wonderful videos.
Hi Steve I am interested in becoming a member however I am confused, in the Mike Dunaway video on grip and stance you promote on your site he talks about left thumb directly on top, this video says that is what amateurs do wrong. Before investing money I would like to know there is consistency, thanks Peter
Of course there's always a little wiggle room in the grip...Hogan didn't do too bad with the thumb on top. But understand that the thumb on top is considered a weak grip that puts your swing on a slice bias to begin with. A 1'clock grip, or even 1:30 (as 99% of PGA players have it) is considered neutral and has many more advantages too.
For years I have been taught to "feel" like I stay closed to the target at impact, and turn the knuckles down to close the clubface. No wonder my game has never improved after all these years.
High level players have an understanding of spin mechanics on the ball, conscious or unconsciously, and control the ball to their liking. It's nothing to do with swing mechanics as much as grasping how the ball flies using spin. I learned this way and do well with what I've got to work with within my putting issues.
Vegas.. Hands down no question, not even debatable, is the Pro's have an incredible and precise short game. This includes their putting being phenomenal. Both of these areas are even better than you can comprehend. The Pro's all hit the ball pretty darn close to equal week after week, unless they are having driver issues sometimes spraying it. But, the guy that wins each week is the guy that putted the best that week. Tiger in his heyday was hands down the best putter on tour. Yet the real answer I gave doesnt fit Steve's agenda which is the full swing. Pros spend twice as much time on short game including putting as full shots. Amateurs hardly practice short game cause everyone wants to impress on the first tee with a long drive in fairway yet triple the hole after he misses green on approach then chili dips and three putts. Pros miss a green on their approach shot and save par and sometimes chip in for birdie. This is the difference in scorecards. Sorry but facts are facts.
Seriously? ohhhh, i´m a 15 handicapper here in Argentina, but i was packing my stuff to go there and try my luck on the PGA....since i´ve watched this......very disappointed....ha ha.
I have watched few of your videos. Too long and very little actual teaching. I like your thought about fast swing and i like to see more, but much more shorter and exact advices.

Cheers Mike! Thanks for watching. Let me know what video you would like to see.
How’s your handicap today
As a dismal player my whole life…infrequent lessons, inconsistent practice, irregular play, you’ve given me hope and inspiration. As a senior now, I hope to break 100.
Let's do it!
Your videos are so important and informative. I've binned all my others and now only listen to you.
I appreciate that!
Yea Steve my grip is 2 out of ten plus I feel like I’m dancing on my takeaway ... I really love your lesson it’s best thanks again ...
since I watch and practice your videos my Golf improved a lot and it makes more fun. Thanks a lot Steve !!! Greetings from Germany
That's great to hear! Cheers!
Some amazing pointers Steve! Getting to work on them straight away. Thank you for the comprehensive breakdown! Dave in Australia
Cheers Dave!
Thanks Mr Pratt!!

Thank you!
You're a great teacher. Thanks.
Cheers Francois!
just brilliant teaching any advice on staying behind ball roger
Start behind the ball for sure, and focus on the actions of the hips/pivot.
Thanks. Loved this video.
That's quite an impressive swing you've developed!
Cheers Bruce!

I'd bet a dollar you are early extending the hips towards the ball. Look for my pivot/ hip action videos.
Great video. I don't think nearly enough emphasis is placed on the importance of proper posture.

I mean not chasing ...
Thanks for all your feedback.
Great video, this will really help me, if I can do 1% if what the Pros do, I can drop from 20 strokes to 18 strokes 1% better. Thanks.
i would love to know a little bit more about the WHY and HOW.
Eye opening...
What a great looking driving range. How hard is it to put yardage signs out like this? Answer: Easy. But most driving ranges can't be bothered.
Good - how to keep full backswing extension yet keep the grip light?
Brilliant!!! Thanks Steve..
Thanks Yogesh!

very nice swing.
Thanks Juan. Cheers!
hope you dont mind but what is the best way to clear lead hip roger
I've posted a few videos exactly on this on my channel.
Exellent
Nice video. Lots of info to understand the real swing.
For years I have been taught to "feel" like I stay closed to the target at impact, and turn the knuckles down to close the clubface. No wonder my game has never improved after all these years.
Knuckles down is one way to do it. I prefer another way of applying face squaring torque.
High level players have an understanding of spin mechanics on the ball, conscious or unconsciously, and control the ball to their liking. It's nothing to do with swing mechanics as much as grasping how the ball flies using spin. I learned this way and do well with what I've got to work with within my putting issues.
To begin with, the pros play and practice way more than we do. They also can control the distance on their irons better than we do.
What is the area that you vary the most from a tour pro? Grip? Setup? Let's identify that one area and try to improve on it.
@@Inmotion70 Too steep with the driver & fairway woods.

The difference between the pros and amateurs is about 3.7 light years.
Yes. So how will you make that 3.6 light years?
Seriously? ohhhh, i´m a 15 handicapper here in Argentina, but i was packing my stuff to go there and try my luck on the PGA....since i´ve watched this......very disappointed....ha ha.
Sorry I had to bust your dream.
⛳🏌️♀️🏌️♂️🏌️👍👍
Top players are now +10, you need to be +6 just to play top college golf!
Great lesson.
Actually this is creepy, I think you’ve been stalking me.
Wow - I am the amateur that you just described lol
I have watched few of your videos. Too long and very little actual teaching. I like your thought about fast swing and i like to see more, but much more shorter and exact advices.
Thanks for your input Juha.
The video is loaded with teaching - more likely the problem is with you, not the videos.
observation is not explanation
