Jimmy, I’m glad I found your channel and like your golf mindset. I’m retired and picked up golf more regularly. On the course, I find myself saying “Swing the V,” “3-2-1,” and “Hello, jacuzzi.” I finally broke 100, thanks.
The voices in my head on the course these days are no longer the 100 Japanese admirals shouting conflicting commands. No, it's the single, cheerful, positive voice of Jimmy Tropicana. Another keeper, Jimmy; I'll go to the range tomorrow and try this. Thanks.
Absolutely love your videos Jimmy. So entertaining. Some of your comments remind me of Happy Gilmore. “Just get in the hole ball!” 😂 You have a natural teaching style that resonates with me perfectly. Thanks for all the vids you do!
OK, I incorporated your teachings from several videos today and i had a very good ball-striking day. First, for the driver, I moved my hands slightly ahead of the ball, and incorporated the motion "keep turning". Best driving day I have had by far. Also the best iron day i have had by far. My short game and putting... that is still in progress. It has made a huge impact for my game. I'm sticking with your channel. Thank you, thank you. (From New York)
Jimmy: I once had an instructor tell me to take the club back in a totally closed position. I did that for a while and it worked great. Still sometimes does but I don't use it regularly. I noticed in this video you also keep the club face closed throughout the swing and do not break your wrists anywhere on the backswing. Am I correct and do you do this intentionally. Great results.
Question: do you hit every club with the ball more towards the back foot? I used it with 8 iron and below and it works amazingly good. It has made my chipping even better. Thanks 😊
Jimmy, discovered your channel about 4 weeks ago, and have been watching 2-3 of your videos almost every day since. To my amazement (and my friends), I’ve dropped at least 15 strokes off of my score in each of my last 2 rounds implementing your golf methodology. 👍🏽🏌🏽♂️😎 I had stopped playing golf for 20 yrs, returned to the game 4 years ago, and now play a round weekly…my scores were always in the mid-90s to mid-100s. Last week, I was plus 2 after 9 holes, and finished the round with an 87. 🫨😎 Your videos have been great for my game, my confidence, and ego. The habit I need to break now is trying to swing harder and faster to hit the ball further because of 1) ego and 2) fatigue…I’ll be 74 yo in a few days. 😊 Thanks!
Hello in there Jimmie T, you remind me of another TH-cam golfer, Tom Saguto, a professional musician, athlete, golf instructor with a sense of humor. Jimmie, you have a nice game, smooth. Reminds me of a one plane swing like Jim hardy only fewer swing thoughts. I have found it so important to keep your head still and head behind the ball. Are your sunglasses prescription? if not, where can I get a pair?
For me personally: I do everything you suggest and it works! BUT… one thing I must do, is open the face of my club around 10 degrees at address. I don’t know why. But unless the club face is open a bit at address I hook the ball or hit a fat shot or worm burner. 10 degrees open at address and I hit my 7 iron 180 yards with a slight draw. Besides that, I play the ball back in my stance and the shaft leaning toward my left thigh and do as you instruct. Bam! Every time.
Jimmy does it seem to me or are you ignoring the take away by placing the ball near your right foot in the stance? If that is real you are a genius! I am from Argentina and as a senior and high handicapped golfer (age 72) I`ve decided you are the most friendly and trustable golf instructor i ever known!
I did this at the range today and couldn’t believe what I saw and felt. I was hitting straighter than I ever have and probably 30 yards further. So now the question is do I just always hit like this or is there something fundamental that I need to fix in the first 25% of my backswing?
keep working on it! it'll happen. thank you for watching and for the support. I have I have your support with the new TROPICANA golf balls I just launched. I've been playing these balls for the past 4 years and I'm playing me best golf ever. Please click here to try them. tropicanagolfshop.com/products/the-new-tropicana-ball
No wrist hinge? I don’t know how there is any power in the swing. How can you rotate yourself to get any club head speed and letting the arms do nothing? Just asking.
Im still trying not to top the ball with every swing. As much as i practice this swing, something is still broken. 80% of my shots are toppers. It's with all my clubs. Im definitely going to keep trying for sure. At least all my topped balls are straight. 😂
When I put the ball back in my stance, I hit a draw, i.e., path in to out with club face slightly closed to the path. Also, in your introductions, your swing looks like it actually incorporates some arm lift in the backswing. Your hands are high as your head. Here they seem to end bicep high.
Jimmy is right if you can eliminate one side of the golf course you eliminate 50% of your bad shots. Occasionally you are gonna cut one but guess what? You'll be able to find it and you'll be able to get it back and play great advice Jimmy. On the swing. It really is the start. It's like cooking a cake if you start with the wrong ingredientsyou've got no chance think about as a recipe for a good golf swing. You need to get it on plane you can even just put like a little table behind you and rest the club on the table. Put a little table behind you and just rest the club on there and just stand there for about five minutes. Do not move. You need to get that ingrained into your brain. That's the starting position. It's muscle memory stuff.

Quelle belle leçon de golf👏👏👏.Quels exercices préconisez vous au Practice?🤔

I get so many good chuckles watching you. 😂 But I also take your instructions to the range and course. I'm improving daily. Thank you so much ⛳👍🏾

Always back except with driver.

Thanks!
That’s amazing and I’m so happy it’s working for you. Please remember that swing smooth equals swinging fast.
Take away so important, I love the way you explain it, your the best , thanks for sharing.
Hey Jimmy when you hit with the driver do you position the ball front stand or back stand?
Btw your videos are right on…
Tried it this morning, it works!
Sure does!

I combine what Jimmy and Tom suggest …. Great combo! 😂

Jimmy you are the real deal. After the first video I watched my golf has gotten great thanks
Thanks, will do .
Thanks

I am from Argentina and as a senior and high handicapped golfer (age 72) I`ve decided you are the most friendly and trustable golf instructor i ever known!
thats great Enrique. playing the ball back allows me to compress the ball better. thanks for watching
Jimmy my game has gotten much better with the techniques you have shown. Can we get a tutorial on how high/how low to set the tees? Drivers and irons
I did this at the range today and couldn’t believe what I saw and felt. I was hitting straighter than I ever have and probably 30 yards further. So now the question is do I just always hit like this or is there something fundamental that I need to fix in the first 25% of my backswing?
I shoot 80 every day with Jimmy's swing. A couple of putts into the "hot tub" will get me in to the seventies! Fade for days.
I used a variation of your method and shot 89 after being in high 90s all year
Love that. Great job. Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
I do have a hard time with keeping my body connected and coiling and uncoiling. Big arms guy!!😂
keep working on it! it'll happen. thank you for watching and for the support. I have I have your support with the new TROPICANA golf balls I just launched.

I've seen a few golfers break putters over those putts. Nonsense! I'm happy just to make bogey😂. Great video as always.
No wrist hinge? I don’t know how there is any power in the swing. How can you rotate yourself to get any club head speed and letting the arms do nothing? Just asking.
the wrists hinge but you can't think about it. thanks for watching

Brilliant
Do you agree than Steve Stricker has a similar swing?
When I put the ball back in my stance, I hit a draw, i.e., path in to out with club face slightly closed to the path. Also, in your introductions, your swing looks like it actually incorporates some arm lift in the backswing. Your hands are high as your head. Here they seem to end bicep high.
Put your hands forward, ball back in stance and swing. No chance ball can go left
@@TropicanaEntertainment I get it. The hands forward opens the face a little.
Very interesting, you hit a fade with this swing thought and I hit a draw or a hook..
Jimmy: one thing you neglected to mention is when you take the club away are you turning just your shoulders...then you coil your body?
Your whole body turns back and your whole body turns forward. Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
I got the 69 and like it, just need a few hours practice.
The way you are seeping that drink 🥤 doesn’t feel like water 😅
Very easy and effective swing - i think and feel it have much likeness to Tslleys 'scoremore' swing.. 👍
Cheers from 🇳🇴

Sounds like the great Moe
Where do I get the 69 wedge & I need a 56 wedge to match
Still need some face on views……
