The Best golf lesson I’ve ever had was with Stuart a few weeks ago , my grip and set up change has helped me play the most consistent and compressed shots I have ever managed and I can’t wait for my next one , so true not to mix up your game with information from too many perspectives best coach out there bar none .
Stuart, this is THE eye opener! Late, for me and my game, but better late than never. Rather than being a instruction video junky stick to your guns. It may not get you to your 100% level but to your 70% improvement "only", but it will ultimately get you ahead while all this video consumption will likely only confuse. This is at least what it does to me. Thank you!! Ralph
Great video again Stu. Accepting your limitations and applying your tip 5 on strategy may not always improve your scores but it goes a long way to making the game so much more fun and less stressful.
Stuart, this is the best advice I’ve ever heard anyone say. I will definitely take it to heart and do exactly as you suggested. I’ve already cut out all of the other YT coaching channels except for yours. I’ll make an appointment for a Trackman analysis of my driver, since this is my nemesis, and go from there. Thanks for the great advice, much appreciated. Cheers.
stu listened to Danny Maude / Alex Elliot/ Russell heritage/chris Hudson/marcus Edblad/even Pete Cowan. In a nutshell you’re the man . New grip playing a draw. Still working on the driver . PB 2 weeks ago 13 over . Getting extra 10 yards on irons . This is in the space of 5 weeks . Watch all your videos daily . Still sinking in . A lot to digest but it’s always fresh and your enthusiasm rubs off mate
Humbling feedback Paul, truly. I aspire to be the best version of me, much work to do, but enjoying the process. Hope the video helped your golf! Best wishes Stu 😊
Great advice and all of it for free you kind man ,,,your building block strategy is spot on ,,as you know i keep going back and forth with your videos breaking down the bits in my golf swing that have been evolving over the past couple of months ,,and they all fit into.the jigsaw somewhere ,,,will catch up with you next month sometime ,my good lady fell playing Padel 3 weeks ago broke her hip at the pelvis and her left wrist in two places ,,so ive been a little tied up of late ,,with her mobility , makes you appreciate being fit and healthy ,,cheers for now mate
Oh goodness, please send the "Boss" my warmest wishes and a speedy recovery, make sure you look after her Graham like i know you will, golf will still be there when she is fit. Keep up the diligent practice Sir and see you soon my friend. Best wishes Stu 😊
That bit about getting on some device to determine your swing characteristics is next level. I was trying to work towards getting my own launch monitor (read as low level budget oriented device bc I'm not exactly self-made millionaire so 7-800$) but I don't have an indoor space with high enough ceilings, no net, no mat. So I'm no where close to being able to do that but I can afford an hour at one of the indoor sim joints. I do only follow your channel so I'll be back on once I determine the current status. There's also a huge power leak somewhere in my swing so I need to nail that down as well. Cheers Stu.
Hey Will - sorry for the slow reply coming back to you. Get those data points, will be the torch light to your golf my friend. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, hugely appreciated buddy. Best wishes Stu 😊
@@GoodGolfCoaching Unfortunately their device wasn't the greatest as it "measures back spin" rather than attack angle but I'm fairly certain my biggest issue is shaft pitch being to steep on the downswing. I get away with it in the mid-short irons, even 3wood is very solid but with the driver the timing is extremely vital or I can miss both ways. Broom acquired. Cheers Stu
@@GoodGolfCoaching Question - what does it mean to keep the club in front of you? I can make a backswing where I feel like the arms are right in front of my chest or one where the club is more over my right shoulder.
@@willchristensen4248 More out in front means the club head does not drop under the handle aggressively, makes the left hip stop the rotation of a golfer through strike, leaves the face wide open; Its why tucking the right arm in is so disastrous for all golfers. My "you need this drill" video will help you with this.. Hope that helps. Best wishes Stu
Hi Stuart, another useful video, I played a round with my scratch golfer friend. I play off 18 so I always want to play well in his company, but fail.This time he told I am lined up closed to the path.He also told me most golfers line up where the tee is pointing.Anyway I had the best round in years, allowing me to get through the ball added more length and accuracy. Looking forward to my practice tomorrow to work on that change.
Amazing feedback Roger - let’s get your game in gear even more and beat your friend!! Golfers mostly aim in the opposite direction their golf ball bends. Change the aim and you’ll change the very thing that’s helping you. Hope that makes sense. Happy practice tomorrow!
Great advice. I intellectually dabble and inform myself, but when it comes to what I ACTUALLY DO, I stick to one source for a time just as you suggest so there is a level of continuity in what I’m doing. It’s worked well but definitely hit a plateaux at 5hcp. I’m sticking to a plan for each part of the game. I took your advice for low ball flight and too little spin. Have neutralised my grip SLIGHTLY and am committing to speed training and general fitness for the next 6 months to hopefully gain height and spin with more speed and minimal swing changes. So far the results are great. Foregone a small amount of distance temporarily but improvements across the whole bag, so thank you!! Also love how simply you described strategy there!! Love the personal part for a change in perspective!👍🏻
Great insights Chris - keep up the great application, really will pay dividends in the end and I cant wait to hear about more of your future improvements. Best wishes Stu 😊
I have struggle with losing shots out to right since starting golf and after watching your club path videos about allowing your hands to exit lower left rather than “swing more from the inside”, I can’t remember the last time I lost shots out to the right. I hit mostly draws now and the occasional hook. You videos really changed my perception of how you’re supposed to swing a club.
Such wonderful feedback, to hear you’re not hitting shots out to the right, feeling some pressure on the ball and feeling powerful is joyous. Thank you so much for sharing! Best wishes Stu 😊
To add to my earlier comment. I went out to practice after watching this video and had so many light bulb moments. Faults, hitting at the ball and not turning properly in the backswing. Not easy to fix. Hitting at the ball was causing deeper than normal divots and loss of clubhead speed. Reaction, focus on changing that. Simple. Had some good results and I eventually started freeing up my swing. Thanks again 👍
Thanks so much Gordon, appreciate the kind feedback. The numbers are getting there slowly which is pleasing, and thank you for the words of encouragement a few weeks back. Much appreciated Sir. Best wishes Stu 😊
Hi Stuart, been using your advice for 6 or 7 weeks now and I'm really enjoying my golf, playing some good golf the last few weeks, keep having 2 or 3 poor holes a round or I'd be putting some good score cards in. Keep doing what you're doing because it really is good coaching. 😏👍
@@gordondavis1224 bless you Gordon, thank you so much for sharing your experiences with me, hugely appreciated. Will do, and you hang tough. Low one coming your way soon Im sure! Best wishes Stu 😊
your so funny Stuart, I love the way you present your videos, I've just got back from the UK, didn't get to Surrey but next time I'm over there I would very much like to have a lesson from you...if you wouldn't mind that is... Kind regards Trev (New Zealand)
I am glad you enjoy my videos Trevor and you absolutely must come in for a session, would be great to see you my friend. I hope the UK was enjoyed and thank you for your kind words of support. Best wishes Stu 😊
Great work again thank you... might be too early to ask agin but i still would like info on how to link these conecpts of pressure in feet, initial pull etc to making proper strike on the ball. Are you just applying the pressure in the feet with pressure on the handle and the strike just happens? I have heard before that yes u can apply the technique but also need a thought or an idea at the ball to strike it with the new motion you are applying... how does the Stu method apply to striking the ball properly? Thank you.
Really grateful for the wonderful feedback! How many of my video have you seen, I cover all your questions in many videos. If you work your way through, I promise you I answer all of them. Let me know if you have any questions along the way. Best wishes Stu 😊
@@GoodGolfCoaching thanks Stu, I have seen pretty much all the videos, some multiple times and even made screen recordings of the drills and critical info. Especially the grip... I believe in what you are teaching and appreciate the way you teach. You have cleared up many concepts that have not been explained properly before. I just would love to see and hear about strike with you method, are you thinking of something at the ball etc. How to apply these teachings to ball striking, divots etc. Thanks
Hi Stu you are now The Guru. Followed your advice on strong grip, pressure in the pad and hand path- it works. Hitting more consistently and longer. Still have a tendency to hold face and not allow full release- is this a matter of time or do I need some drills? For future content something on putting technique would be great.
Hey Indy - I really appreciate you subscribing and choosing my channel as one of your faves.. Whats my recent video, titled "Strike the golf ball like never before" this will fix your release pattern and get the blade in great shape. Plus, id recommend "you need this drill" video. Let me know how you get on! Best wishes Stu 😊
Hi Stuart, not sure if you have done a video on grip pressure and how it reacts with the release, its a bit of a mine field but would love to see a one from you, Great to see your subs going up, I've been a subscriber since your early video's, keep it going. 👍
Hi Solar Blue, thank you for being a supporter, always appreciated my friend. I did a video a couple of months ago on grip “grip pressure, the facts you need to know” have you seen it? Hope it helps, if it doesn’t I will happily do another with more details. Best wishes Stu 😊
@@GoodGolfCoaching great Stuart, I'll check it out, I have an issue with club face control, I am convinced I'm not releasing the club head, I'm thinking I'm gripping too tightly, my grip is slightly strong and through the fingers, been playing off 5 for 15 year's but can't seem to push on to the Next level.thanks again.
It won’t be grip pressure, I can promise you that. Grip pressure is over played as a reason for lack of release. Gripping tighter is help you, not hurting you! Let me know if you have any questions along the way. Best wishes Stu 😊
That’s Good Coaching Again Stuart!! 👏Apologies but have been unfaithful and subscribed to Markus Edblad for a while 😮 # I look forward to seeing you next time ❤
My top tip comes from a slogan I saw in the gym - if you are not measuring, you are guessing. So in golf when we are trying to change something in the swing, it is important to measure whether what you are trying to change is in fact changing. That might need a regular trip to somewhere that has a trackman or similar to get the data or it might be as simple as videoing your swing to see if you are doing what you are trying to change. Only problem is I fail to use my own top tip!
Really appreciate the kind feedback and Im super happy ive had an impact on your game; will endeavour to use less words! Many thansk Sir. Best wishes Stu 😊
@@GoodGolfCoaching For me it's mainly fun. I mean of course I am trying to learn but some things don't translate well from a video. And some things like "the release" just go against my nature it seems.
My condolences Stuart, but you’re stuck with me. One of these days, I’ll send you a before and current swing to see the fruits of your labor. It’s not PGA Tour stuff, but it’s a night and day difference. Keep up the good work!
I am grateful to be stuck with you my friend - keep up the great work, and you never know, there is a tour player in us all, never say never! Take care my friend Stu 😊
@@GoodGolfCoachingjust wondering what email address will find you. Shot a swing on the range and have an old heinous one in my phone. Pay know attention to the 30 minute pause at the top. Got a lot of scar tissue from years of hitting the hosel!
I have stuck with certain instructors for 90 days and even longer for the past 15 years. Problem is, I could never get in 24 rounds in 1 year, let alone 24 rounds in 90 days. I wish I had the time, money, and people to golf with on a regular basis. I will not pay for lessons ever again, a total waste of money. I do practice several times per week (free). And that is where I tinker with different swing methodologies to see what works and what does not. No method is better than another, nor has any method improved my game. Of all the things I have seriously pursued in life, golf is a failure. But still, I keep trying to break 90.
Well it sounds like the drive and determination is still there after all this time so you must be enjoying the chase JP. Keep trying, keep pushing and I am confident sun 90 will happen! Best wishes Stu 😊
