Stu you are THE MAN. I have been watching your content for a month or so now, everything just seems to click. I started with your grip guide which has helped my game, then the downward pressure through the handle down from the shoulders, better strike and my first ever divots. Recently saw your video on chipping/pitching where you keep the handle "still" and swing the clubhead for loft at impact and a down strike, I now threaten the hole on every greenside chip. Some revolutionary stuff, I now feel like my golf is getting back to where I was last summer. My last missing piece was my high slices off every tee with driver. I watched this video and it clicked, I was pulling for too long and leaving the face open. Today I went out and for driver I had one new thought, pull, stall, swing. Unbelievable, I was pulling the drives up the left with a baby fade back into the left of fairway. So much more controllable than my starts right goes right slices. First time in months I felt in control of my driver. I played 36 holes today and first round I matched my best ever round at my new home club (joined last year) of 83 (+14)... Second round I smashed it with a 79(+10)! Also played both rounds with one golf ball. I know I have written a mammoth comment here but I hope you made it this far. Thank you so much for this instructional content!!
Adam, I read every comment in its entirety. Goodness me, I’m so so happy you have found your game. Comments like this make my hours of filming and editing worth it; truly humbled and grateful you took the time to share, it means so much Adam, really does. Thank you also for your very generous gift; long may the good golf continues and your scores lower and who knows, break par! Keep me in the loop and enjoy my friend. Best wishes Stu. 😊
what makes stuart the best golf instructor on youtube is because he always explains cause and effect. his insight, plus explanations makes it uncanny that everything that he says what i was doing wrong was to the letter. everything i have changed after watching the grip, broom drills , these drills have completely changed my game and has made me a better golfer. thanks a million stuart and God Bless YOU.
Man, I lost my feel a few months ago during a forced hiatis from golf due to work demands. I had been living in the mid-70s, and the step back was trying to drive me out of the game. This drill acted as the catalyst I needed to find that feel again. Man, God bless you brother for sharing!!
I believe you are the only golf instructor who fully understands the mechanics of the golf swing. Not only that but have the ability communicate so effectively that understanding to us amateurs. Thanks Stuart
Hi Alan - really appreciate the kind words my friend. One tries their best and hope it’s good enough. Lots to share and really enjoying the YT journey. Huge thanks for being a part of my channel.
Stuart, good video. This works--am hitting the golf ball straight. Had some difficulty transitioning to the release -- was pulling in to my body too far. Watched you video over many times and saw that you actually keep the handle at the same distance from your body but pull it down and to the left allowing the club head to square. Is this correct? also the broom put too much strain on my wrists, so started to use the orange whip which has a heavy club face and you can pull, stall and swing with it. Worked well, and then put it into practice with the driver and had success. Would appreciate you explaining the difference between angle of attack and loft. Also would appreciate your telling us how to use this technique consistently because I struggle with the timing as to when I should end the pull phase, stall and swing. Any tips on this? thanks again.
Another excellent video explanation of how the driver swing works. As I’ve said many times, the driver has always been my nemesis. Watching this video and listening to your explanation really brought home what I was doing wrong yesterday. I was bowing my wrist, leaning back and not releasing the club at impact, the ball was doing exactly what you described. I have a broom and will start practicing with it. Thanks for the insight. Cheers.
I've been following your videos on the grip, the high to low aspects of the downswing. I wrote an e-book on how professionals swing the club differently from amateurs based upon gaining knowledge of Moe Norman's Master Move and what he called the Vertical Drop. Long story short, I learned how my wrists and the club head start the downswing in a clockwise fashion, very similar to your high to low aspects. Because of learning the clockwise movement, picking up your high-to-low feelings as you describe them was not difficult, and really it filled in the pieces of the puzzle down at the bottom of the swing or through impact. The broom video really highlights how the handle has to work in the swing. So the handle movement has opened my eyes to the bottom of the swing or through impact. As I pondered all of this, I thought a video on holding the club head from starting with the club head behind the golfer, show the reaction of the handle as you move the club head down and through the impact area on it's arc. The handle is the key in other words. People need to understand that. So it's just another way to show those principles. I think you may have solved my bottom of the swing dilemma, which Moe Norman didn't really get into with his Master Move and Vertical Drop i.e. I've wasted a year on pushing the handle forward and losing distance with what I called the new professional swing. So the clockwise start was correct, but what I did with the handle at the bottom was so wrong. Thanks for your help.
Hey Stu. Love the broom work. I stared using one back in the 70's early 80's and boy did it straighten me out and give me more distance. Keep up the good work.
Absolutely fantastic! - for the first time I understand how the driver swing works - what a great metaphor and method of practising. Outstanding lesson! Subscribed.
Hi Stuart, have watched & followed your videos for a few months now. Really liking and appreciate your content and instruction. The broom as an aid and visual is great - I tend to respond well to visuals. Would the broom be similar to a hammer held in the golf grip with the head rotated 90 degs to form a T-shape? Had used this imagery for a while to great success but over time from a nice draw I started having trouble squaring the face and got push slices. Would it make sense if this broom method requires more left arm supination (from delivery through impact) if someone is previously been using more wrists to get through the ball? I am right handed, play right handed but seem to swing better with left arm/hand feels.
Hi there, the hammer whilst waited, won’t offer up the same feels at all sadly. Too short and no where near the differential. Hope that helps and thanks for the very kind words Sir! Best wishes Stu
You were right Stu I did love it, cracking lesson, thanks. You did a video for the driver but covering spine angle (tip) I cant see to find it is it still up? For the driver what is the consequence of not getting the handle down to where it was at set up? It is always a little higher through impact, I find this hard. Cheers
At ~9 Minutes & 30 Seconds this video details a golfer's aggriviated " Herniated Lower Spine \ Disc ". Next stop, the Physiotherapist. One of your best educational videos. Thx.....
AWESOME LESSON !!! THANK YOU > FOR CREATING THE CORRECT (" FEEL" ! ) OF the Golf swing .. Everyone will benefit from this .. Hands, Arms , Wrists , body and turn . Will have to improve Once the broom is swung to finish . AWESOME !!
Nice Stu, Driver off the Deck is one of my favorites. Like you said a couple clips ago: Wide and then Soft Right Arm. Let the Club do the work. If you build good structure and your alive at the ball, you can Squeeze all your Energy out to the Ball.
Great stuff as always Stuart. Does this help explain why some taller golfers like Tony Finau and Keegan Bradley look like they keep the handle underneath them so well (and look rather bent over)?
Absolutely Robin; how golfers use their chest through strike is essential and only possible with superb leg action. People suggest they are standing too close to the ball, reality is, its needed when handle pressure is at its maximum! Hope that helps Sir.
Love the broom, gives such a great insight to swing dynamics….. My broom handle seems to be TX flex, can I just change it for a R?…..maybe I need a PG fitting?😊
Your's are probably the best instruction videos I have seen up to date. I'm a tinkerer (en masse !) and watch ALL youtube coaches. You are advancing very fast toward the top spot I must say... Scratch... here i Come... 🙂 Just keep up the good work and you will soon pass 100.000 subscribers I believe.. Very educational.
Excellent ...have been putting this into practice since your first broom vid and it's made a mass of difference ...not saying I've mastered it yet but when I'm on song 🏌🏻🏌🏻it's like a light bulb coming on for the first time ❤ well done Stu keep it up ...best on YT by far 💪💪🫶
Goose pimples on hearing John Jacobs, Jose Maria worked with him, good old days. Great demo as usual Stuart, could not agree with you more about weight,and the big one for me is hitting Driver off the deck ASAP, and also playing all par 3s using Driver,young teenagers develop massive skill levels very quickly. love the content as always.🙏
I applied you teachings and hit the ball very good. And of course I need to work on your principles. Towards the end if the 8 holes I started to pull the driver. I did hit it well ! What should I do to try to fix this? Weaker grip, less aggressive turn etc ? I love your videos and I am playing much better golf. Thxs, Andy
I cut my front lawn at 1/2” and chip and putt on it all the time. Can’t wait to see what my neighbours think when I’m swing a broom stick. Maybe I’ll parlay some swing practice with my next sand dressing.
......"absolute garbage".....I think I just found my new ring tone Stu 😁...... absolutely the best visualization in golf. I think that broom is destined for the Smithsonian Institute...... thanks Stu ⛳🍺
Well, isn't it so that when you put the club on the ground with a square face, the club shaft is already leaning to the left? The broom and golf club are built differently.
@@GoodGolfCoachingthat may be one of the most important comments here. The lack of offset on the driver, paired with very little loft, means there is no forgiveness for a poor setup and delivery. This was a great lesson. Thx.
I’m only part way through but your handle orientation explanation leaves out that you have to deloft the face as you move your hands forward to keep it on swing path.
This might be the biggest load of shite I've ever heard! His entire approach and belief of what needs to happen in a golf swing is based on a totally false premise. If that false premise were true, he'd be a genius but it's not so literally everything he's advocating is total crap and absolute nonsense. I'm sure the author of this video will read this and think I'm an idiot but in fact there is a level of understanding of the golf swing that he is completely unaware of which is why he believes what he does. I understand he's trying his best but his correlations and examples actually have no real world applications. Maybe the funniest thing is his example of a bad impact position is almost exactly that of many of the best players in the world. Take a look at Cam Champ ... He's almost identical to this "example of wrong." If you look at his example at 9:35 is absolutely textbook and then he goes on to say it's "garbage." The golf club is not a f'n broom! Why use a prop to illustrate what you should be doing with a golf club ... because they don't work the same! Just do it with a golf club! This guy is not stupid he's just misguided and his understanding of physics is elementary at best. What he is advocating and teaching is the swing that every beginner believes they should do. It's completely wrong and no good players do that but almost no one knows that it's wrong because they can't even comprehend that there's any other way.
I always welcome peoples thoughts and comments; and you have made yours, perhaps slightly confrontationally but each to their own. Thanks for stopping by and good luck with your golf.

Hi Richard - I’ve done 4 videos on the broom, go check out the other three for more insights my friend. Best wishes Stu.
I don't have a broom, will a vacuum be OK, it's cordless?
As long as it’s cordless, you’ll be fine 😂
The broom drill is amazing as the weight of the broom encourages the body to move in support of the implement!👍
Thanks John! Get sweeping my friend. Best wishes Stu

Stu, are you a proponent of counter balancing the drive?
You’ll have to explain further John.
Transition between pull and swing phases is tricky. Any tips to smooth it out?
Hey Jeff, the most affective is weight. Get more weight in your hands, preferably a broom.
