This is the first video I've seen from this site. I've been playing for 20+ years and taken quality lessons and seen great videos. This is one of the best. It has truly helped me to climb out of my slump. THANK YOU
Three great points, I’d add one more which has helped me enormously - keep moving at address. I had so many swing thoughts, especially with driver, that I was rooted to the spot at address. For me, the best way to ease tension is to shift my weight from side to side and waggle the club a little. Having this as part of my routine has worked wonders.
Literally played and practiced this today. Instant results if you do it right. Driving the ball 30 yards further. And more consistent. Great video !
Definitely gonna try the ground force component. I’m scratch. Hover around 270-280 off the tee. But I know that I don’t use the ground nearly as much as I could be.
I’m very much a feel player. And nothing has “clicked” yet in respect to using the ground. Your description (coupled with seeing it) may just be what I was needing. Will get on my launch monitor tomorrow and give it a shot!
As far as the other tips, also good stuff. I’ve always had a strong grip. So no issues there. But tension in the backswing is something I only picked up on in the past year or two. Was playing a practice round before a tournament and just had this thought to take it back longer and more freely. Made a noticeable difference (picked up a good 10-15 yards of carry).
I still catch myself forgetting to do this. But this season I plan to really work on making it a natural part of my swing.
NO ONE CARES MAN GO TELL YOUR MIRROR
Have you ever played tennis? A forehand swing, a good one anyway uses the ground. Baseball too, or throwing a good uppercut in boxing. I found the easiest way to understand ground force and then incorporate it was by cross training in other sports. Learning a few fundamentals can go a long way mate. Once you understand the principals they're not too difficult to apply! I'll bet you're a much better golfer than me, so please don't assume I'm trying to teach you how to suck eggs. Just a fellow traveller trying to get the best out of their own game. God bless.
@micahmorris The tip about relaxing and not tensing on the backswing, to coil and explode in the downswing is something that doesn't get spoken about in so many other videos. I've just practised exactly that this morning. Ball striking and distance the best I've ever hit a ball. I didn't realise how much tension was in my backswing till this video. Thank you brother!! Excellent video and something slightly different from the videos I've watched online.
I was just about to write this as well, while practising all this I found that it is so easy to forget about focusing on a relaxed tension free backswing, for me it clearly is an essential part to get step 2, the sequence right,
It's hilarious you guys would take advice from a youtuber, micah no less
@@chosen1one930 the wise ones take knowledge and lessons from all around. It’s the ignorant who troll and spout nonsense. I just had my best ever round. Thank you Micah. Ignore the fools.
@@chosen1one930 Good for you, everybody happy
@@sabianmcleod good on ya mate. Haters have nothing good to say anyway.
Nice vid Micah! The ground force is the hardest for me to get.
Ground force doesn't work like people think. Just standing on the ground you put a ground force on the ground, it happens all the time, just because you swing doesn't mean you put anymore force into the ground. The tricky part, earch is made up of different soils, rock, sand etc. Not every soil acts the same, and especially or wet soils, a percentage of the force is lost in the ground. Thatch, the layer of ground right above the soil acts like a sponge especially if it's wet, to thick. There is a lot of factors. Ground force will naturally occur and be used as energy in your swing. If you hit the ball 290 to 330 depending on roll etc what's the point, I regularly shoot 68 to 72 depending on the course and I would never mess with my swing or try to do something different when it works so well. Micah trying to teach so many golfers with random tips, it will only hurt more golfers than help. Having one teacher, you like and trust is the only way.
Really good lesson, thanks!
This piece had some useful tidbits, Micah. Cheers.
this video has helped my driver immensely! the relaxed takeaway (no tension) tip was a game changer for me. didn't necessarily gain more yardage, but definitely gained a lot of consistency. haven't missed many fairways since
Nice video. You amaze me more with your mid to low irons than with the driver to be honest. It looks like you barely swing, yet get amazing distance. Keep 'em coming.
Micah do a persimmon driver video. 9 holes and you must use it on every par 4 and par5
Break 100 series?
Great tips! Any tips on the best driver settings for optimal distance?
Definitely a +1 to wanting to see you hit more drivers as well!
That totally depends on the person and your swing - look up optimal launch and spin for your club/ball speed and then use that, increasing loft on your driver will give you higher launch and more spin and decreasing loft will lower launch and spin.
Thanks you for sharing this. I’m gonna try this on a daily basis and see where I’m holding tension. Gotta be zen like during golf
Spectacular video Micah. I've been stuck at ~113 club speed and ~171 ball speed for over a year and fighting a push exactly like in the beginning of the video because I was trying to weaken my grip. I recently realized that was a mistake and this video helped confirm that. I've never done much work with using the ground, but am hearing a lot more about this lately with watching Nelly and Bryson do this so well. Hopefully these tips can help this 40 y/o dude hit 180 at some point. Appreciate the content. Your game is really solid right now as well!
Awesome video. The grip was a bit difficult to understand but I’m also an idiot lol. Grip feels good tho can’t wait to try it out. One thing about using the ground. I feel those of us that were baseball players in past lives do this without even realizing it. Such a natural movement with a baseball swing. Was easy to transition into golf
Thank you for this video Micah, gonna start putting this into practice! much love.
I've started playing golf at a young age and incorporated these tips into my game naturally overtime without instruction. I also hit the ball pretty far for my size and preach these same points to my friends with less experience when they want to know how I generate power. The first 2 points you made are pretty easy to follow, but from my experience, they seem to struggle with understanding how to use the ground properly. You also can't teach quick twitch muscles. You either have them or you don't and they also play a small part in generating club head speed.
Reading the hate comments are hilarious 😂😂
There's always keyboard warriors 😂
It’s just funny to troll him at this point
The good good fan boys are at it again
It’s just sad. If you don’t like the dude just don’t watch this videos. The haters just sound jealous at this point. Like Bruh no one cares. 😑lol
I love it. Totally deserved.
I've been working on a tension free swing. I really like you saying about working on getting to the top without tension. Some days are better than others but sometimes my backswing is toob fast, i over swing back, and then I'm braking the club with arms and wrists. Makes me bounce in and out of transition too fast. I'm going to work on this. Thanks bud
Really liking Micahs new content, I learnt most of this over the last year, but it's good to see it from a professional to confirm what im doing is correct.
excellent stuff Micah, thx
Hardly anyone talks about tension. It's a swing KILLER! Love this vid Micah. Going to the range soon so try and hit it farther.
Usually I hear in these type of videos is to create tension ( in the correct muscles within your coiled back swing) and I bet a lot of people hear that and get their whole body tense throughout the swing ,…. Myself included at times .. when I’m trying to “kill it”
What an awesome video! Loved the way you explained it so easy to understand… keep them coming
Hi, Micah. I noticed on your demonstration of hitting your driver that you moved back toward your right side. When you get a chance to use some ground force plates I think you will see what I mean. You’re probably losing 25 yards or so and some repeatability on your swing. Hope this will help. Great video! I am going to implement your 3 tips, thanks.
Great tips. Need hit ball then turf please with irons.
I absolutely have a weak grip and when I focus on strong I do hit it much better. The biggest problem I have is tension. I am physically exhausted in my upper body after 18 holes. Thank you for the tips !!
When are you going to release the Myrtle Beach qualifier
😂😂😂😂
Great tips. Woud be nice if you had a scren capture in the corner so we could see your numbers.
Thank you !!!
Great video Micah!!! Thangs for the inside information!
gonna try all this at the range right now!
How did you go?? Any improvements?
I naturally have a high launch angle of around 18-20° even after lowering tee and that's with a 9-10.5° driver. Any tips on how to get a lower launch angle for farther ball flight?
Another new shaft? Gotta get the bag settled! Thanks for the vid!
Love the last 2 points, interesting about tension. Am stuck at 160 ball speed and just tried to see where i have tension by stopping at top. Basically everywhere 😂
Awesome vid, Micah. Thank you
Hi Micah,
Thanks for a great video! You state that speed is generated at the bottom, but I am wondering how you use your hands: Are you actively using your hands right before impact, or is the release of your hands more a natural consequence of letting the swing go? Thanks!
Thanks for the tips tig, are you going to hit driver in matches now?
You said in the beginning that you would address those that consistently hit it left with a strong grip... ??
Do you use a stronger grip on all clubs or just driver?
From point 1... Do you use a strong grip on your irons aswell? Short Vs Mid Vs Long?
Appreciate the video. Keep up the good work
How much of your speed do you attribute to lifting weights? What are your deadlift/squat numbers? Thanks
for me when i put pressure into the ground and push up i actually get my front foot off the ground and it like slides out like a foot. with minimal ground force my drive is about 220-240 carry. i did the ground force push on hole 18 when i played yesterday and i carried the ball 280... any recommendations on pushing into the ground without accidentally "jumping" or having the front foot come off the ground.
Love your videos, just so different 👌🏾
Do you use that same grip with the irons? Great vid, Tks for the info!
Tig I'm sorry, but u need 2 b working on your 100 and n yard shots? When u swing, I cannot tell the difference between hour pw swing and your driver swing? U need 2 work with Bryson or Wesley to let them teach u the half and 3/4 wedge swing? @ me u just don't seem 2 have any off speed stuff?
Great video thank you Micah (UK viewer)
Thanks for the vids Micah
Great video
How to shoot 87 vid coming next! Sorry, couldn’t resist. Nah, I’m a huge Micah fan boy, loving your work bro, keep moving forward 👊
Good one loser
I watched this video when it first came out. I played today and hit my driver phenomenal. I drove a short par 4 ended up 11 feet from the pin. And ended up in a green side bunker another time. I never focused on clearing my hip or raising my hands. Had the lowest round I’ve ever had today. Thank you
My miss is left. Should I still strengthen my grip?
Can you walk us through your wrist angles throughout the swing as well?
Great video Micah !!
The sequence is the towel drill.
Would the tension in the backswing be the same principle as for irons as it is drivers?
So much speed from such a smooth swing
If you have a draw biased driver do you still strengthen your grip
Very helpful Video Micah! thx
Thanks for the great advice!
Can someone please tell me why I always see Micah catching hate? Seen a ton of footage from him over the years and he’s always chill
Jealousy, people love to knock overs down to feel better about themselves
It's mostly the GG folks who didn't like him leaving same with Grant. I'm still very happy they left the highschool team to play with better talent. I've stopped watching any GG content as it's boring as F... Nobody even knows who's who anymore...I honestly believe it's Garrett, he wants total control and seems like a bitch...
It’s just jealousy people hate what they can’t do so by default. They hate the people that can do it.
I think it's the way he hypes himself up and then shits the bed in actual tournaments. Also how he always talks about how far he hits it, especially driver, then sprays it or hits an iron off the tee. He makes it easy for people to make fun of him.
@@crk2288 hmm I’ll watch out for that, never noticed it
That first weak grip hit described as off the planet hurts !😂 that’s a good ball for me half of my driver swings 🤷♂️😜… where MY off the planet shot goes in the same direction, then boomerang slices about 200yrds out 🤦♂️🙃✌🏻
After 30+ yrs of hacking away , I can attest to strong grip being key .. it’s like a first step for me ,@ times I have my right hand almost underneath the club (feel and look) … then if that’s not enough I put separation between hands (like an 1” at most ) and drop my back foot half a shoe distance behind me with ball at front foot … if this isn’t to much /overcorrecting the ball goes a country mile dead straight …. But , since I’m adjusting to offset that days swing error I can also have a snap hook or a knuckleball type shot that maybe goes 100 yrds about 4 feet off the ground if I happen to swing correctly…. This is my torture
Thank you👏👏👏
Well done... Big Respect!
So is that grip for all your clubs?
would it be the same with irons? Also, you should do a video comparing diferent brands of driver shafts
Do you use the same string grip on your irons
Loving this Micah
Strong grip on the irons ?
Farther… into penalty area….
Good stuff. Only thing i disagree with is the grip if your someone who plays a fade and starts the ball left a stronger grip will be counter productive. Great content though
Micah Morris Teaches. He wasn't kidding.
10 handicap teaching. Guy is clueless but you keep watching his videos thinking you’ll improve. Kids a joke
Teaches how to shoot in the mid 80's
This was actually really helpful. Thanks Micah! Keep em comin - you’re a natural!
I ain’t seen you hit a straight drive in a minute
Great video and actually some new concepts. Thanks Micah
Enjoying the increased production value!! Keep them coming brother.
Why did you switch out of the LS head? Spin too low?
did some swings in my living room and my driver was making noises id never heard before. granted, my swing was and still is trash, but my club head speed felt much faster than ever before. the ground tip helped but it was mainly feeling relaxed at the top that made the difference for me
Know any good instructors in northern Virginia/DC?
Easy formula speed and center of club face
This is a very helpful video, thank you
I am surprised by the negative comments. We can all learn something from others. I am quite happy to take long driving tips from someone who out-hit Rory in a fair driving competition.
It's literally idiotic kids that are jealous of everything he has and does. Sad and pathetic at this point. And if they really just watched the video, it is excellent advice that could help anyone.
Digging the 30 days of content! It would be cool to see a POV camera on these grip videos.
I would love to see him play a round of golf with a neutral grip. I think he would hit 310 carry onto the fairway instead of 340 into the trees. The trees are full of big hitters. His videos are really entertaining, but 4 errant tee shots in a round really blows up your score. His recent video that had him trying out for a tourrnament and he shot an 86. I felt really bad for him because I was rooting for himI think on 14 holes he had pars or better, but those 4 holes ruined his round. With a neutral grip the ball would curve slightly right or left and he would rarely miss a fairway. I really wish he would make a video where he plays 18 holes with a more neutral grip!
The grip aspect isn’t going to work for everyone unless they’re already hitting right with a weaker grip. It’s just about address when you make contact. It definitely is a great tip for anyone with a weaker grip that does hit right though. If someone has a stronger grip and still hits right, they obviously an issue at address and fixing the grip won’t change the fact that they’re holding the driver at address incorrectly or open the face through the swing with a stronger grip.
Do a video on long irons please
Thanks for the tips man! God bless you and Grant giving praise to our father YshWeh in that last match video instead of all the “golf gods” talk most TH-camrs use. So refreshing. Curious how much your going simulator setup cost? Pray you have an amazing day and dwell in the shelter of the most high ❤️🤙✝️
Show the real shot at 4:05
But what happened in the qualifier?
Break 85?
I guess you’r using this tension trick in your iron shots and wedges as well ?
I feel like a lot of people feel the need to attack people that hit it far because they can’t. Must be an ego thing idk. I see Bryson get attacked a lot too. Keep doing your thing tig.
Thanks for the tip Micah! 🙏
mussel speed is the key to all speed body can generate
How about a video on how to not send the ball 5 miles right
Stronger grip simply allows you to LAG properly and swing towards your target (every sport leads w the elbow, then hands, then whatever is being held). Unless of course, you’re Bryson D… lol
Watch the grip portion right in the beginning. You will see when he goes from hitting it right with a weak left hand grip and then goes to show you how to hit it straight with stronger left hand grip there has been some editing done. I'm sure this is because when he changed it to a stronger grip he still hit it off the planet. It would be so much more real if he would just leave that portion of the video in there. We don't expect everybody to hit it straight every time. And after watching him ply we definitely don't expect to see him hit it straight lol the time. He's no George or Grant. Anyway I just wish he'd keep it more real.
Tig, run a video on the Q-qualifier. Go through the round.
The haters will melt but many will appreciate your thoughts looking back. What you learned etc
He learned he’s a high handicap golfer
He doesn’t have the balls 😂😂
He’s a mid handicap on super hard courses. He’d smoke just about everyone in this comment sections. Former tig hater too
@@manupcheerup322 they are in the woods.
Mid handicap? 20?
Man why yall hating on the man! I’m willing to bet you he’ll wax all of our ass in golf!! Keep it up Tig nothing but love brother 💪🏽💪🏽
Putting next?
