- This is a swing thought every golfer will benefit from. Feeling and swinging the weight of the clubhead was one of Jack's go-to swing thoughts throughout his career.
There are a million golf videos on TH-cam, and this is one of the best. Simple, but rarely talked about.
I agree with you! Cheers from Indonesia.
I tried this after reading Ernest Jones’s book “Swing the clubhead”. I added 30% distance to every club. No exaggeration. Freddy Couples is a master of swing the clubhead. See Bobby Jones too. Thanks for the video. Fascinating stuff.
This is the best tip when you learn to play golf. Forget angles, squat move, etc. if you learn this it will all come together. Started 8 months ago and I was worried about everything but this. Once it clicks and you feel the head of club everything follows. Don’t try to kill ball also helped me a lot.
OMG seriously!!! I tried this on the range today and i PROMISE you i have never hit the ball better! Incredible golf tip! Thanks a million....
Same lol, I’m now on a 10:20 tee time for tomorrow morning 😂. Literally the best rage time I’ve ever had 💪🏼
I should have this tip 20 years ago when I was 50. Thank you very much for such precious tip. I am a mechanical engineer and I can see it right away what I did wrong with my golf swing. Cheers from Indonesia.
And this is why we all love Big Jack!!!
One of the best tips I've ever heard. Thanks!
This is what I like to call the O movement of our opposing hands and wrist in our golf swing that produces the apparent centrifugal force transmitted by our hands twirling the club so that the club head receives the accelerated centripetal force generated by our hands on the handle of the club as well as the natural responses our body gives to the swinging the club head back and though its circular path to the ball. Cheers
Feeling the swing by loosening your grip and then swinging the club around in a circle; one can also feel the centripetal force behind the golf swing.
When you feel this powerful force of physics; the golf swing take care of itself. Every golfer should remember this simple tip prior to play. Excellent presentation.
most importantly, if you can feel the weight of the clubhead, you will begin to accelerate it smoothly through impact which is not what the recreational player does, me included quite often. when you are loose enough to feel the clubhead, that "effortless powere" reveals itself. good vid thanks!
Jim, Excellent post. As you were speaking, I was remembering Jack's swings on his Golf My Way video. He looked so loose and free-flowing. Now I realize what his secret was - he truly swung the club with zero tension! He said something like feel like the club-head weighs a ton.
One of the best bits of help for the average golfer on the tube ! Thanks for posting.
Good stuff finally something simple I feel it’s a sports motion and everywhere I look for tips you have to have a phd to understand and make a swing like it simple thanks again
Top tip!! Take many a practice swing until you feel the weight of the club head. Then hit a drive and watch the difference.
My miss has been a pull, or pull hook for quite some time. I started playing better when I lightened up on the grip pressure. I was closing the club face slightly when I gripped it and some times it caused my pull. Sometimes we over analyze golf when it could be just a little adjustment to help you play better, not new clubs or a bunch of lessons.
So true
If there is a secret in golf then surely this is it, if not it's in the top 3.
This is the big secret - thank you
Im a 14 handicap and this work wonders for me. I feel the weight of the clubhead from the pad in my left hand and im now drawing my driver.
Very well presented. Nice!
doesn't work. it's too light. but i did solve the problem. what i did was exaggerate every single swing. to feel like the i'm dislocating my wrists. it's the only way. and that slowly got me to being just short of parallel.
another thing i did was i added a weight on the end of the club - like a donut weight. and did practice swings with that. lots and lots of them. at least 200. can't hit a real ball with it. i think that definitely helps too.
hope this helps thx mate.
Ouch! Dislocating what??
The clockwise twirl waggle baby! This absolute helps you feel the traveling club head around your body
So once you have aimed placing your club-head perpendicular to your ball. And you have flexed your body from your hips with unlocked knees; the actual golf swing is as you are shifting your weight back, twirl your club head clockwise with both hands; loose wrists; forearms; and trail shoulder blade and as Jack Nicklaus did immediately shift your body left exiting your hands; wrists; forearms; and trail shoulder blade left both pre and post impact from your ball ( Right Handed players
Great tip.
I'd try adding weight (lead tape) to the head until I could feel it then start removing it once the feeling was in my brain. If you do it please post if it worked or not. gl
What's truly remarkable about this is that you tried to stop Jack Nicklaus from giving you a lesson.
We could be going down in a plane crash and I wouldn't stop Jack from giving me a golf lesson.
The thought of a plane about to crash and while everyones screaming and praying, Jack Nicklaus decides to give you a quick golf lesson, is a funny thought indeed
Hilarious
Yeah I couldn't agree more. Maybe the best ever and you say no to a lesson! OMG
If Nicolas says drop your bag, you drop your fkin bag!!
This is advice for an advanced player. You already knew how to swing. You were a high level player so you knew what to do with your body.
Of course it's fine advice for anyone playing golf in principle to not be overly tense. Feeling the clubhead only makes sense if you know what you and the clubhead should be doing. I can feel the clubhead all day and be super relaxed and spray the ball every direction and trajectory.
Ernest jones
yes, this is true it will only help people with 1-5 handicaps,not for the regular golfer,because those amateur golfers who don't have a proper grip will still find there ball going in the woods,having a good grip is more important,then this step is possible to loosen grip without stress then check head weight for speed
Nice. How was it that Jack was at a high school golf tournament? Was one of his sons playing in it as well??
I think there’s a secondary benefit more important, being loose With clubs allows them to drop into to slot. If your tight your forcing the club out of the slot most likely…….
I loosened my grip then had to spend 20 minutes retrieving by driver from up a tree...
lol
Simon Beresford lol 🤣
Could've been worse. Could've hit Jack Nicklaus.
The real lesson is if Jack Nicklaus offers to give you a lesson, don't argue and take the lesson.
Amen
So Jack Nicklaus asks you to take a club out and you initially refuse? Did you then go tee off with Santa, the Tooth Fairy and Big Foot?
😂 that’s cold bro.
thanks for the video Jim. I"m trying the feel the club head at the top of my swing and i can't do it. i can't feel whether i'm short of parallel (i.e. a short swing of 45degree or whether i'm at parallel). i'm waaaaaaaaaay to used to being firm and my body/brain goes into autopilat. any ideas?
You actually told the greatest golfer of all time that you didn't have time for a lesson...dude...if that guy came up to me, and I was on my way to the hospital to watch my wife give birth, id have to explain to her that she needs to wait cause the golden bear just told me to grab a club...if that guy tells you to do anything golf related, you listen and do as your told without skepticism
just keep the clubhead back or trailing in the downswing and everything else will work perfect. same as swinging a baseball bat. keep the head back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
