Jim Venetos golf swing?

[b]Jack Nicklaus: [/b]I've always believed that the golf club should dominate you instead of you dominating the club. In other words, you swing the club, and your body reacts to how you swing it. Doing this forces you to use your lower body to initiate the downswing.

[b]Jim Flick:[/b] Under pressure, can you make the transition from the top as consistently when the upper body controls the swing as when the feet and legs control it? My answer is no.

Feet and legs control the swing. They don't power the swing. ie weight transfer doesn't create power. Thank you, JV!

I'm still waiting for the pics of Hogan and Nicklaus (or any other decent ball striker for that matter) 'ahead of the ball' at impact. I'm not holding my breath though.

If you're struggling, I guess you could always go to the range and snap some picks of a 28 handicapper in that position, then superimpose Hogan's face onto it. Some people might buy it.

That could be Hogan , but doesn't matter , his head is behind the ball , you need glasses or help

A straight spine, perpendicular to the ground (when viewed from in front) will more than likely result in a steep AoA, chunks and/or hooks. I'd say 'poison' is the right word for idea that this is a desirable position to try and achieve.

It's funny too how I hear stuff like " Hogan eliminated the hook and pull from his game." Alright so if he was so precise and such an amazing striker, why didn't he win every tournament he played in? I get that the dude was good, but some of the crap you guys say is just moronic.

There was a time in the 1950's where he did nearly win every tournament he played in. That was despite a worsening putter. So yes, he was precise and an amazing ball striker.

Post 289 eh? A picture of Hogan in which he is playing the ball back in his stance, where he is demonstrating significant secondary tilt and where his head is nowhere near being target side of the ball. Is that really the best you can do?

Post #289. I think we've all gone and looked at it again. Just what are you looking at, kwtl??? It appears his hips and right knee are ahead of the ball, making the point the lower body can and does drive the golf swing.

The lower body doesn't have to, but if it does, it provides more power as you have multipliers engaged from the ground up and a much more dynamic swing. That's why some guys can hit it 250 yds from their knees, but it will be 300 yds standing up. Venetos even talks about eliminating that part of the swing, which is fine for some who can't put it all together, but to compare to Hogan or any of the great ballstrikers is ridiculous.

This swing does eliminate a number of mistakes in the golf swing
No sway ,no slide of the hips going down.no spin .insufficient weight on the left side side at impact , among others.

With the poor advice available from most sources on the internet and the failure of in person instruction to help most golfers,the ideas presented in this video might actually help the average golfer

Russc,

As a swayer and lifter in the backswing. This is tempting. But, does it sound like it would put a large amount of pressure on a knee or back? I tried the sevam1 screwgee years ago and came out of it with 2 months of knee pain.

Hi Tanner and hello to all members, as this is my first post on this board. Please pardon my English, which is not my first language. Will do my best.

I would like to comment on this thread. I'm 63 and have been playing golf regularly for the past 35 years. With a flawed outside-in swing I once got down to a 7 index, but that was more than 10 years ago. My golf game has deteriorated seriously in the last two years. Loss of distance is normal and was expected, but never have I hit so many bad shots. Best way to describe it is that I felt like my right arm had grown a full two inches and that my left headed divots made me ashamed! Like many on this board, I am sure, I watched a million of instructional videos. Next guy who tells me I slice because my clubface is open will eat my 5 iron. Anyway, playing like that was not fun , and I was losing interest, playing less, vicious circle indeed.

Last week I hurt my lower back and couldn't breathe normally for a few days. Watched golf videos, again. Saw this ugly one where the guy turns his shoulders in a funny way. How can you hit a golf ball all twisted like that? But I thought he had a nice T-shirt & running shoes and didn't look like ALL others golf instructors.
Three days ago, I went to a range - at the FAR end - and "tried to try" this set-up and swing supposed to be ok for the back. Well, ok it was. Zero pain. And more. Once I got the idea, it was nearly nothing but solid contacts, from PW to 3-wood. It definitely felt ackward at first, but I quickly got used to seeing my ball curve back to center coming FROM THE RIGHT! Yeah man, da right. Had one try with the driver and put it right back in the bag tough. Went to play last two days, I have stayed with the Venetos swing despite a few bad misses and funny looks from my partners, and I am glad I did. Despite all, it does feel so solid! I lost no distance with my 3-wood, and it's in the short grass. All my divots point to where I was aiming. Now, that is new for me.

Now, I realize that this swing and set-up is blasphemy or laughable matter for many here, who probably are gifted athletes or have been lucky enough to be taught how to hit a power draw at pre-school, BUT I wish to point out that for the vast majority playing this great game an afternnon filled with solid contacts and the occasional high draw close to a pin is worth millions. And I have hit more solid shots in the last two days than in all my summer so far. This funky swing has renewed my interest in the game.

Concerning the knee, Tanner, I noticed, coming back from my round today, a little "twitch"? in the left knee, but I think it's quite normal as it is due to unsual pressure. When I started running, 4 years ago, my hips were screaming for me to stop, but I kept running and it disappeared

I know there must be someone here who wishes to give it a try but is hesitant after reading expert opinions expressed here. Try it and see by yourself; at least you'll know what you're talking about.

Question to Jim Venetos: What else do you have to sell since you have so much stuff for free on YouTube?

Anyway, thanks Jim!

Anybody try this swing? Definitely different and intriguing.
[/quote]

Went out yesterday for my 4th consecutive round with this swing. Wasn't as good as previous rounds, I felt tired and was trying to feel comfortable over the ball, adjusting the angle of the clubface with that shoulder tilt. A few hooks when my torso moved and a block here and there. Had a few horrible holes along with 3 birdies and, again, a lot of solid contacts.
Tried the driver for the first time, and it doesn't go any further than my 3 wood, so that means another club I don't have to carry!
In fact, my 3 wood produces a low ball flight that bites the turf and spins towards center. Do I like it? Ask my playing partners.

I first tried The J.V. swing because of a bad back (new to me). My golf season is about to end but I'm convinced that it is the swing I will be using next Spring. Sorry if I sounded like an infomercial, but it's all due to old age, enthousiasm and years of frustration watching the flight of my golf ball.

Oikos1, I wish to thank you for the Picard. Had a good laugh. And I thought it was a great idea of yours to send it to me after receiving it yourself! Will do the same! Thanks again.

And to you, experts posters here, with over 4500 posts, I mean, guys, get a life, move a little and stop siiting over that colon cancer you seem to be working on.

Ric.T,

Not sure that is the best endorsement, as Jim V. was quite clear this method was a powerful swing, yet you are taking driver out of the bag. 300 yd three woodies, eh?

Anyway, I have no doubt this swing works for you or others, so if it has you enjoying the game again, great. It's the presentation and sketchy claims...

Went out yesterday for my 4th consecutive round with this swing. Wasn't as good as previous rounds, I felt tired and was trying to feel comfortable over the ball, adjusting the angle of the clubface with that shoulder tilt. A few hooks when my torso moved and a block here and there. Had a few horrible holes along with 3 birdies and, again, a lot of solid contacts.
Tried the driver for the first time, and it doesn't go any further than my 3 wood, so that means another club I don't have to carry!
In fact, my 3 wood produces a low ball flight that bites the turf and spins towards center. Do I like it? [b]Ask my playing partners[/b].

OK, please send us the contact info for the Havercamps ...

So what's the latest on this swing? Where is the swing footage of Jim hitting a 350+ yard drive?
