Thanks Coach! So much of your teaching is starting to click with me. Busting myths and proving them as garbage. A little off subject for this video but i have to say my grip has always been strong with correct pad placement but still changed it slightly following ur good coaching. I was one of those ya gotta bow the wrist n now i see that move made me close the face even greater which led me to compensate to keep it open or hit dead left. Sometimes i could pull it off and hit some good shots but not near enough times and i always felt somewhat restricted n unnatural in the wrists. Your recent vid on ok to have that "cupped postion" has freed my wrists up. Cant thank you enough to show us its ok for this to occur. Sorry for winded txt... love what your doing for all.of us whi are lucky enough to stumble on ur channel!
Stu, I heard you, loud and clear, “STOP PULLING THE ARMS DOWN.” It slows your rotation and swing causing you to lose power. Chest should be open at impact about the same degrees as the pelvis. So the open chest at impact causes an over-the-top move myth - busted. Love, love, love the science behind the swings you show. Cheers.
I never messed with these feelings until you posted this video. My driver clubhead speed jumped from 103 to 108 with these tips alone. I played today and was carrying the ball to where I normally rolled out. Thanks so much, Stu!
@GoodGolfCoaching haha! I can get 110+ into a net, but it's a little violent for the course at the moment. I'll have to see about leg action. I'm playing well and always around par right now, so I don't want to tinker too much. Winter work maybe! Thanks for all you do. I recommend you to all my golf buddies!
Always like seeing the data which is why your numbers on hip and chest turn were so interesting. Thanks for highlighting the potential injury risks with "x factor". I have always felt coaches should comment more on moves that might lead to injuries. I have never liked the "bow wrist" concept because on the few occasions I have tried to do it I have felt I could almost break my wrist.
Stu thanks for challenging the conventional golf instruction. For the most part I think we have all tried different approaches to the swing but I have always seemed to go back to the way you’re prescribing us. I want my hands out and feel like I can put pressure on the ball. Bradley Hughes speaks of this but doesn’t really elaborate. I guess my question to you is once I pull the hands out club head stays back and inside ball, from here what should my feel be to get the club head back to the ball? Many thanks- keep up the enthusiasm!
@@joshwebb8141 Thanks a lot! If you watch some of my most recent content, and/or my broom series playlist I go into this in great depth. Best wishes Stu
Thanks Stuart for a brilliant explanation of why the "X"factor was just a way for some "coaches" to make a lot of money while it also called for a lot of doctors appointments...... I could never get my head around this idea but do admit to having a slightly closed address which feels to me more comfortable and seems to get me a touch better feeling rotation (not necessarily more)...🌟🎊🤩🥳
Thanks buddy - trying to edit a little more and get the content more engaging and more enjoyable. Makes for a longer edit but hopefully helps the entertainment and watch ability.
Hi Stu, Great video. The 'garbage' swing is clear to me. Could you please highlight the conditions for choosing between the standard swing and the pulled towards swing? Following you for a while I've always thought that we should tend towards swing number three... Another question, if I may, with drivers (and long irons for those with little speed) swings number 1 and 3 change a bit, it isn't ? Many thanks
Hi Carlo - both the first and third are the same. The third would be a maintenance/repair session to improve mechanics. Once works in, swing one would be your default. Hope that helps.
Great video,im a big chest advocate, prob as its rather large as well as a large core!, i have to feel (dont know if its real!) my chest (bottom of rib cage to top of pecs) moves first,then milliseconds b4 my lowerbody responds and arm shoulder triangle softly loads Most high hcps whip club inside then try to turn chest,i have to feel i maintain sideways on even tho i dont! Had to give 4 shots to a big hitting young 7 hcp at his home course in a match yesterday and got a great half Glad i follow GCC!
PS even tho i still have the flexibility at 65yo to produce a good Xfactor i never try for it in fact its almost the opposite,certainly feel wise of what i do! i know it would just be a big push fade a horrible shot
Thank you! Your instruction is causing me to revisit all my previous notions and understanding of the swing. As a result, my swing speed is up measurably, I'm hitting pure shots much more consistently and feel more comfortable overall. Very much appreciate you and your work!
I’ve GOT to get on board bc I’ve got zero dependability under pressure. I just shot 69 on Friday only to go 85, 82 in the club championship on the weekend. So severely disappointed in myself. Confidence lost. Need to build a swing that repeats under pressure.
Glad you are applying yourself to this direction going forward Will, you’ll enjoy the process and simply play better golf. Look forward to hearing about your journey. Best wishes Stu
Good coaching for sure!
Thanks Matt!

Amen brother - “Myth-BUSTED” 😊
Brilliant Stuart, I wished you could show me your backswing from behind the line in slow motion, this seems to have got in my head at the moment
I’ve done loads of slow motions of my swing in some videos Steven, my next video I will make sure I get a slow mo in there for you.
Seeing is believing..enthusiastic display as always Stu..been working on this .as instructed ..cheers Graham
Thanks Graham, great to hear! Best wishes Stu

Amazing news, thank you so much for sharing!! Bring on 110mph with some more leg action and improved grip (who knows… 🤣)

Amazing stuff, sounds like you’re on point. Keep at it and let me know how you get on! Thanks again for sharing. Much appreciated.

Thanks so much John, this video was obviously inspired by you so I’m grateful for the request. Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feels John. You’ll increase better backswing movement with improved hip motion. Hope that helps.
Thanks Stuart. Another great evidence based video. If possible, could you provide driver refresher. Thanks.
Thanks Mark, yes of course, will do.
Liked the editing with you beside the virtual version of you.
Thanks buddy - trying to edit a little more and get the content more engaging and more enjoyable. Makes for a longer edit but hopefully helps the entertainment and watch ability.
I'm very interested in what the shoulder angle would be maybe a couple degrees open? If so do u feel like you are hitting it of your right hip??
Shoulders/Chest are open, same thing. Definitely hit the ball with the right side of your body. Hope that helps.

Steer clear of X Factor, nasty stuff.
Great stuff.
Thank you my friend.

Greg, my friend, really appreciate you and sharing your experiences. Music to my ears, let’s play on!!
Wow!
Hope you enjoyed Ron!
Stu, my chiropractor isn't going to be happy that I watched this video! 😆
Haha - he’ll be out of a job! 😎
Stu- my arm and wrist speed numbers are only 1.2. My hip speed is very high. How can I increase those numbers?
Take your feet out the equation. One arm swings. Would be a good start. Hope that helps.
I’ve GOT to get on board bc I’ve got zero dependability under pressure. I just shot 69 on Friday only to go 85, 82 in the club championship on the weekend. So severely disappointed in myself. Confidence lost. Need to build a swing that repeats under pressure.

I'm so inside I can't strike my irons correctly and I hit loads of shanks too. Drive the ball well tgough
This should help you then 😊
Okay, so are you advocating that your shoulder and hips should be in synch? I tried to do that today and hit the ball remarkably well?!
I’m advocating you don’t actively separate them. Best wishes Stu
Same as tennis. Watch Novak, his chest is open to the target as he hits the tennis ball.
Sure is! 🙌
I always thought chest open led to shoulders open, thus "coming over the top", pulls and the S word.
Glad I changed that belief for you 😊
.......hi, my name is Gary and I've been "garbage" snd "crap" free for over a year now......😁
Haha Gary, thank goodness I had finished my dinner reading this, would have laughed so much it would have pebble-dashed my phone!! Hahaha
@@GoodGolfCoaching lol
😎
Another one to cause a glitch in the matrix……😂
Can hear it from here… 😂
Why do hockey players hit the ball so good,not rocket science.is it!
Haha because the swing is quarter the length, they get to move their feet and their hands are split? 😂😂
@@GoodGolfCoaching i played with Brett hull 8 years ago in a charity event. very impressive.
Awesome!
WTF was thas Shchite .! Show Exactly the Way to Strike . only,, ! Not that other BS !
You always sale close to the wind RC - thanks for your input. 👍
😬
👍
This is like the DARK ARTS😅 love your insight and knowledge as some of the older style of teaching was impossible 🫤
Thanks John - it may seem dark arts, I hope it’s also understood it’s simple and effective. Thanks for commenting my friend.
