Jeff’s notes about opening the stance for wedge shots and closing it up for driver all due to swing path was a light bulb moment for sure! Let’s see how that translates to the course tomorrow! Really enjoy the content dude!
Thanks - glad you find it helpful! Lmk how it went on course! And if you haven't seen the diagram Jeff was talking about, here it is: www.reddit.com/r/golf/comments/cpw5f4/ben_hogans_ball_positioning/
@@upbeatgolfer welllllll last Friday didn’t go so well, BUT, having this knowledge in the arsenal is still super helpful! Just gotta keep grinding away and keep on strutting!
Hope you're still strutting! A student of mine, (I volunteer coach a college team) just won the Luxembourgish National Championship (congrats Nic!), and he was our MVP with strutting last year. It's life changing!
Haha awesome! I will definitely hit you up when I'm in North Carolina next. Tobacco Road is one of my favorite courses ever. Can't wait to go back and play now that I know what I'm doing 😅
Hey Manu, thanks for sharing the lesson, while I can't swing like either you or Jeff, Jeff's analysis makes perfect sense. Could you please find out if Jeff also teaches a one plane swing :-) I am a flat one planer and I am very hesitant to change, but I could use some help with grip and alignment for sure :-) I am surprised to see how steep your swing plane was with both your iron and driver, I would never have believed it given how far you hit it, but now it makes sense given that you hit it high, far and with that baby cut. Yes if you were to shallow it out per Jeff, it would help you gain more club head speed I guess, not like you need it anymore. :-) and probably get more of a lower penetrating flight. Good luck!
Glad you liked it, and thanks for the kind words! I'm not sure if Jeff teaches a one-plane swing, but I put his details in the description if you want to drop him an email and check!
Brilliant lesson from Jeff and thanks for sharing Manu! I’m also trying to get the shallowing done sooner in my downswing and this lesson from Jeff confirms my drill that I’ve been practicing. Hopefully I can get off from being a 5 handicap and get to scratch in a few years. Love your videos btw!
Glad you liked it! And good luck with the journey! One thing you said that stood out...I don't know anything about you so I might be totally wrong, but I think you can get to scratch faster than a few years (maybe even a few months)! Is ball striking the major issue for your scores? Just saying coz my main issue has sometimes been ball striking, but often other things like picking better targets and not swinging out of my shoes 😃
Oar in the water and floating on the swing resonate with me AND coincide with your concept of not rushing. Has been HUGE in my current improvement - mid-90s to mid-80s. Well on the road to single digit handicap (finally!) Still waiting for the Manu aimpoint vid...
Really cool to observe. Just got into single digits and I feel like it’s time for a check up. Still have those days when I’m out of sequence and still shooting 85+. Super frustrating
Glad you liked it! Anything stand out to you in particular? And congrats on the single digit hcp! That is a big milestone. I feel you on the days out of sequence piece 😅 -- have you found a solution to reduce the frequency of those?
I agree! My favorite part of working with him is that he understands that everyone has a different swing and works with your tendencies/preferences, vs. trying to fit you into a specific Pro's swing (I've had that happen in the past). He's made a huge difference in my game over the last few years.
@@upbeatgolfer Thank you so much! I’m a PGA pro and I’ve been giving lessons for quite sometime now and I’ve been looking for a good app for swing analysis and this looks way better than what I’ve tried!
I don't know enough about the Malaska move (just watched a quick video on it) but it does look similar! I think it's really about finding the right words for you to understand what you want to do, whether it be "shallowing the club" or "pulling the handle down" as Malaska says. Personally I have to be careful of focusing on pulling the handle down because I can get too armsy on the downswing 😅
It's a tip from Rory that he got from Jack Nicklaus -- in the takeaway, pretend there are razor blades just outside your hands so you need to keep your hands close to your right thigh as you take them back. He explains it in this video (it's free, but you have to log in with an email to see it) www.golfpass.com/watch/golf-features/tip-15-rory-mcilroy-razor-blade-takeaway
Yup, that's it. Take a backswing, stop at the top, and then make your downswing. Tiger apparently hated this drill but it was super effective for him. (There's a video of him and Butch Harmon on Golf Channel Academy talking about it from ~2001)
I'm guessing you mean me standing over the ball?! Haha yeah I was trying to get everything right during the lesson - sometimes I actually don't have more swing thoughts but space out and keep doing waggles without anything really going on in my head. On the course though, I try to go with one swing thought (these days it's "stay behind the ball" ).
Did any of the tips stand out to you? Let me know! Also, Jeff's details are in the description if you'd like to book a lesson for yourself!
Aye! Thanks for the kind words! And good work on that action! ❤❤

@@upbeatgolfer I will strut forever! Now if you’d like to check out North Carolina, I could use a coach!! I do live on the coast if that helps!

$20 spent aligning the sticks 😅…great lesson though. Thanks for posting!
HAHAHAHA true dat 😃
You have an excellent swing, I will give you 9,5 out of 10 👍
Thank you - you're too kind! 🙂

The conversation about shallowing was super interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Glad you found it useful! And thanks for keeping me accountable - the aimpoint vid is in the editing pipeline as I type. Soon! 😃
Manu, Ive been watching your videos for a while now. definitely underrated but phenomenal content!
Thanks dude! That means a lot! I saw some of yours too, what a swing! And I love the 325yd drives in Crocs 😃
@@upbeatgolfer Thank you sir! if you find yourself in SoCal (SD area) let me know, there's a few courses out here that are very nice!
I would love to! Def will drop you a line, and lmk if you're ever up in the Bay!

You can teach golf a million different ways, Personally, I think Jeff Brehaut is spot on
I agree! My favorite part of working with him is that he understands that everyone has a different swing and works with your tendencies/preferences, vs. trying to fit you into a specific Pro's swing (I've had that happen in the past). He's made a huge difference in my game over the last few years.
Love the content recently found your page keep it comin!
Awesome, thank you! Great to have you here!
What is that app he’s using with the iPad!?
It's called On Form. It's been really helpful for me because of that VoiceOver feature so I can watch the videos later.
@@upbeatgolfer Thank you so much! I’m a PGA pro and I’ve been giving lessons for quite sometime now and I’ve been looking for a good app for swing analysis and this looks way better than what I’ve tried!
That's great! Did you end up using it? Useful?

@@upbeatgolfer Thank you. Very good short and to the point explanation.
Freezers, what are freezers?
OK. stop at the top Iguess
Yup, that's it. Take a backswing, stop at the top, and then make your downswing. Tiger apparently hated this drill but it was super effective for him. (There's a video of him and Butch Harmon on Golf Channel Academy talking about it from ~2001)
Guy has way too many swing thoughts
