Pretty nice swing, thanks for the instruction!!

Steve, in your opinion, at what point should the right elbow start to break on the backswing? I reckon at about eight o clock position. Any earlier and the club will go on an inside path causing all sorts of problems. Also having watched your clip on the grip I have switched from an interlocking to an overlapping grip. My right hand tended to be dominant causing me to hit at the ball and have no release. Its a difficult change after 7 years of interlock but I can see good results already. Thanks

Golf Practice Tips
RdSoxFan618;On the driver, the ball should be aligned with you left heal. As you go to the irons you should be inside the left heal.(2)Your left arm are should naturally bend;right arm relitively straight!(3)The plane of the swing should be just above the shoulder blades..not below or even..somewhere toward the upper part of the shoulders. Remember..keep your head and feet still..in other words-don’t do the up and down and up again motion!! Keep the club head low and square-first few inches!!
Golf Driving Tips
This is basically what I have been trying to convey. Don’t get flippy with the hands.Try to take it away in ONE piece and square(to the ball) for the first several inches(about a foot to 16 inches or so. This allows you to get square at the top!!

Hi Steve, great video. I went to the range and tried this out yesterday, and I was very much hitting it straighter. I just have a few questions:
1) I was hitting VERY low trajectory shots. Should I move my stance back (move the ball up?)
2) What happens after the takeaway? I took it as you bend your left arm in? (I’m a lefty, right arm for you I believe)
3) What is the correct plane? You could be bringing the club up at too high or you could be bringing the club up too low.
Thanks
Golf Grips Tips
It is imperative that on your driver your swing plane is low and flat on the takeaway. The wrists will naturally hinge on the backswing and this promotes the sweeping motion on the downswing. This lesson does a great job in teaching the first motion to ensure a successful swing. The steeper the swing with the driver on the takeaway the greater chance the golfer will slice the shot. 30 minutes on the range after watching this video my slice is gone and I am hitting the ball 240 again. Thanks!!!

I have had a number of lessons to cure my inside/over the top swing but nothing has got my backswing into the correct path until I found your video! Less is more! you are a very natural, informative teacher, thanks
Golf Swing Tips
for me this guy is a teacher by nature. i´m a beginner at golf and try to add his tips to establish my swing. actualy yesterday on the range i found out me tending to bent the left arm on backswing. so i tried to hold it more stiff but this caused a lot of tension. the fullswing method feels like to fix this. only i help a bit with my left knee turning towards the ball for a better turn. is this okay? or is this might caused by a wrong setup?

I really enjoyed these videos. It’s so different from all the glitzy guys with their know-it-all attitude and showbiz gloss that you see jockeying for attention on Golflink.
This is a young, talented, articulate guy imbued with the spirit of golf showing us how to improve our play and talking to us from some dry, dusty course in the desert.
Keep the pearls of wisdom coming Steve until you get snapped up by the golf Establishment and thanks for sharing.
Simple Golf Tips
that was an awesome lesson. Wish all golfers could see this.
Thank you!
Golf Grips Tips
You have a gift. I would like to see you put some more videos up. Keep up the great work.
Online Golf Tips
Great information! Definitely helps with the full swing. Question: What about short game take away where you have to set wrists quickly? Example: Sand shots, flop shots, and less than full swings shots where less than a full swing is needed? Any help is appreciated.

Great instructional vid
Beginner Golf Tips
Just dropping in to say hello and update my progress since finding this video.
Worked on “grooving” this feeling over the winter months. As the golf season/weather is now “open” for me, I’m very pleased.
I’m going to shoot some video and post it up, and would like to also send it to you, Steve (per your website).
Thanks again for the great instruction! Going to try a few pointers from the setup video now…
Golf Grips Tips
yeah great video, great instruction…you really helped me to improve my golf swing, you are right, i must stop thinking about body, shoulders, arms….and just move the club naturally

Last weekend I played my best golf ever. All because of this great instruction! One thing I noticed during our friendly sunday morning foursome, is the importance of a good position at address. If you press your hands slightly to the left before taking the club back and maintain that position during the back swing, it becomes more easy to keep the club on plane. Never hit my irons as solidly as last sunday! Thank you once more Steve!
Golf Driving Tip
Thanks for the instruction.Very simple and I can relate to it better than any other method.
Cheers and all the best!!!

Hello, could someone please take a look at my videos and tell me what i need to work on?
Pro Golf Tips
Yup, that’s it exactly. You started the club back together and on plane with the whole club takeaway, so now just let the club continue to the top. You have to be much more patient than you are probably used to.
Simple Golf Tips
Ok thanks for the help. So after the takeaway do I just let the club momentum take me to the top of the swing?
Pro Golf Tips
The point of the entire video is to stop thinking that it’s with the arms or shoulders. MOVE THE CLUB. Forget about the body.
