I can only wish! He did say I am practicing the Justin Rose pump drill, said it will take a lot of time for this to feel natural. Let the work begin!

[elthrill]

this is why golf instruction is more art than science. he wanted to limit your hip turn to shorten your swing. but to my eye your hips looks super super fast, so essentially by shortening the hip turn, hes even speeding up your hips more. you can shorten the arm swing without limiting the hip turn, which would seem to make more sense for a player with your hip speed.

 

just interesting why he chose the path he chose.

[kobe123]

Not sure, haven't asked, but I do know with the new drill it seems to slow them down.

[getitdaily]

The good ol pump drill. Still use that one myself at certain times.

 

Nick price wore out the face of an 8i doing just the pump drill back in his prime.

Yup, I just need to see work on keeping that left shoulder lower/flatter rather than going straight up and around which causes the dreaded flip.

Anyone else? Next lesson is 2nd week of March!

Maybe I'm missing something here - you saw Mike in September and have been making some changes.

 

Are you hitting the ball better? Or still experiencing the same misses?

 

Not trying to be rude or anything but your asking for more feedback but I'm not 100% on what is happening with your swing and shots at this point...If you are still fighting the same issues I'd suggest you need to change something more drastically.

Just looking to see what people think of the changes. Consistency is getting much better.

Hey kobe...you mentioned that your idea of the downswing was wrong..can you expand on what Mike corrected you on as far as thought process? I also see that the clubhead is kicking out toward the ball on your pump rehearsals...is that something you all worked on?

Sure! I'm not sure if I had an idea of the downswing, it was just I started the downswing incorrectly. In my swing before the lesson, I started the downswing with spinning my left shoulder/whole chest to the left. This cause me to early extend and get 0 shaft lean because the club got behind me. Mike then told me that I have to get my left shoulder to go down then around to get shaft lean. Additionally, if you want shaft lean the face needs to come in closed because if you push the handle forward it opens the face. The club head kicking toward the ball, I'm not sure on, maybe it's because the hands create speed? He didn't say anything about it. He is pretty good about wanting to nail one move before nailing another. I will say I noticed my ball flight has gotten hire but much more penetrating if that makes sense. If you want to talk more, feel free to pm me!

[airjammer]

No, I wasn’t saying it was wrong it was just something that stood out to me for whatever reason and was curious if you all discussed it

[kobe123]

Here is an updated video. Been really practicing. Whatcha all think?

 

[Frasier Crane]

Your last video looks fantastic, definitely the best swing of all the ones in the thread.

 

Also very interesting in your 2nd lesson where you talked about the arms starting the downswing.... Tiger Woods worked on the same exact feeling with Butch Harmon in their Golf Channel series that I saw on youtube... he said the reason why he was doing that was because he'd fire his hips too quickly, get the club stuck behind, and then would have to flip the hands in order to compensate for being out of sync.

[kobe123]

Thank you and that’s exactly what is happening with my swing. I’m still fighting toe shots and blocks.

[MountainGoat]

Shut and laid off at the top. Head spinning forward into impact. You'll fight blocks forever with that.

[kobe123]

I’d say my face is slightly shut, but that’s because I like to play a draw. The laid off part, I’m not seeing. Thanks!

[kobe123]

Also, the head moving toward the target is a myth. Many teachers are actually teaching it now to get more open at impact, hence, DJ, Annika, Duval, Justin Rose

[DoubleBarrelLefty]

Kobe - how you making out? Revisiting an old thread here. Still with AMG? i like their content and like your swing improvements.

[LaterOn61]

I’ve know Mike since 2014 before he became an AMG rock star. His approach is as genuine as anyone you will meet. If you get past his interest in the Kentucky Wildcats, he is a brilliant guy. Some of the thinks you hear today on AMG, and things he shows using GEARS, he was already talking about in 2014 with nothing more than a camera, a SwingCat, and a GC2/HMT.

I’ve only gotten thru page 1. But man this is absolute gold, I am literally on the edge of my seat reading this. We need more threads just like this. ?

man dang just noticed it’s from 18’. Wonder why they stopped? Hope OP shaved some strokes.

[kobe123]

I ended up stopping going to AMG, it was pretty far away and it was getting expensive. I'm doing online lessons now with Dan Carraher.

[BB28403]

Oh ok, cool thread man. How are things going?

[kobe123]

Pretty good! There's another thread out there

[BB28403]

Awesome, did you ever try the GEARS system out?

[kobe123]

No I didn’t. I used the pressure plate and hackmotion wrist sensor

@kobe123 Thank you for posting this thread.
