I came for Sams favorite drill and left with one of the best golf lessons I've ever had! 👏 👏 👏 Thank you! I'll report my results when I get some range time 👍
@therealgolfsecrets, well, it works and works well! No surprise to you though 😊 I can't believe how well it worked. I just pulled straight down and sat into my lead foot & the rest was automatic. The ball exploded off the club face effortlessly. I was definitely not getting into my lead side fast enough before. 👍
@therealKatsudoShashin Nice! Glad to hear it Katsudo & yes you're absolutely right. The golf swing only takes 1.5 secounds & most get into their lead foot far too late, causing a ton of issues. I like to say "sit down" as I squat into the lead foot. I say & do this immediately after I initiate the pull with the shoulder muscles. Having an effortless golf swing becomes a priority as we get older. 🍻
Sam's drill at 17 seconds is amazing, the arms simply raise up in front of the chin then slight body turn and swish. Effortless gravity inspired power. As Jim Flick would say "let the air out of your arms".
I couldn't agree more. It's a simple drill that fixes so many swing faults. Mike Malaska still teaches it to this day. I believe Mike Malaska got it from Jim Flick. I'm not sure if Sam showed it to Jim, but it's definitely one of the best drills of all time. It's a true classic. 🍻
I can't imagine that. I don't think most Pros could either. A golf Legend is a whole different level of fffn good. :) To win at the highest level under extreme pressure for decades is just unimaginable. 🍻
🍻 Sam issues the least amount of stress on the body with the maximum amount of effortless power.... It's the perfect swing. Especially so for senior golfers, when these factors matter the most.
Sam Snead had a great swing, very long and was competitive in his 60s. He won many majors didn't win the us open although he had many chances it was his putter that hurt him if he was a better putter he'd won more majors and over a hundred pga tournaments.
did anyone ever make golf look so effortless? BUT he worked as hard as anyone to improve his game, even putting at night via his cars headlights, the only thing he lacked according to Hogan was what we would call course management, Hogan said he Snead would have won more majors than him "if he had a brain" Snead was as strong as a bull, in that Snead v Hogan world of golf Shell series look ar Sneads back, thick and powerful as were his legs, he was a PT in the second world war. , Many legends of golf say his was the best golf swing,
Like Trevino said , " you lift the club actually " .you lift the whole club and not swing the clubhead on the backswing. Swinging the clubhead back, will store to much energy, to much momentum, which the shaft and head, will release at transition, in order to escape, from the rotating mass !!!! Learn how to float load and hit the ball, with the unweighted hip, just like Millar Barber!!!!
It's hilarious to have Seve in this, he was notorious for NOT HAVING ANY CONTROL of his ball because his grip was so loose that he would hit it all over the planet and never in the fairway LMAO But because he was so relaxed with his hands, his pitching and chipping feel were spectacular. Don't listen to these guys, they are all LYING about the grip pressure, they gripped so tight, but due to their natural strengths, it felt light to them
@@therealgolfsecrets Mate, I walked the course next to him at Wentworth back in the mid-80s. He was so deadly in-accurate with his clubs he was NEVER in the fairway. Know why? Because he wasn't holding on to the club with his soft grip!!! Because all these guys believed in the lie - but he had deft touch thanks to those soft hands around the greens!!
Snead had a great swing for a long driver of his time, but his swing could not win any US Opens. The sitting position with both heels on the ground at the start of the downswing may be the flaw of him mis-hitting the ball when the chips are down in US Open conditions. For someone who got to play 24/7, mis-hitting the ball like duffers in tight situations implies there is some kind of swing flaw. Theoretically and ideally, at no time should both feet heels be on the ground during the downswing like in his sitting-position. The right foot heel should be rolled off the ground early in the downswing to enable the right knee to bend left early to make room for the right shoulder to swing downwards instead to outwards to prevent coming over the top during the downswing.
@@therealgolfsecrets Impressive. Certainly. "The Best Golf Swing Of All Time?" With the flubs at the last hole of the US Opens, can this swing be considered the Best of ALL time? There was a TH-cam mini-tour golfer, who before a tournament, went to see a coach for a tune up. This coach started to convert him to the sitting position downswing. A few days later in the tournament, this TH-cam golfer started to hit really bad shots all over the place, including a fit of shanks. I once saw live and close up of Snead hitting a driver during a PGA tournament. I got the impression that he had a fairly violent posting up of the left side in a very short time at impact, as he had to made up for the lost time "sitting" coming into the release. This short-timing can cause bad shots under pressure in my opinion.
A weight shift is most definitely happening, and the lead hand does pull straight down. More specifically, from the last two fingers of the left hand. They pull the club as a unit with the lead shoulder muscle. They work together. Sam started the process with those 2 fingers of the lead hand. 🍻

No problem, Katsudo. Definitely let me know how the range session goes.

So effortless, yet the club whips through making a great sound every time. Great video!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🍻
Nice. Thanks, simple and good video.
Thanks Oscar 🍻
Th e truly great ones make it look so easy ! Thanks
No problem 🍻

Beatiful swing and simple advice.

Great example of squat. Sam made it look so easy.
👍 He sure does... Best swing of All Time IMHO

🍻 Did you try any of Sams tips yet?
Imagine being not only a professional golfer, but one of the legends of the game.
These guys are so ffin good!

Snead's swing is the best. Effortless, balanced, the same every time. I'll take Snead's swing over Hogan's any time.

This has got to be the most ridiculous comment I've come across. Only amateurs white knuckle the club, but you do you. 🍻

Sam finished runner-up in the US Open Championship four times! That's impressive if you ask me. He didn't need to change his swing mechanics. 🍻

This is a freaking joke. Not made by Sam Snead. Snead said himself weight shift "happens" when he swung. Period. Plus Snead PULLED with his LEFT hand.

Super bad advice, and he didn't do it...Maybe he felt like that, but he didn't do it.
