Exactly what I was thinking.
worlds best golfer and worlds worse camera man in the same video, what a
coincidence.
@richardsp1 I would hope they wouldn’t. The swing itself isn’t important.
The videos are more about choosing different shots for different
situations. If I were Luke, the last thing I would want is for people to
forget about the advice I was giving and just get caught up in just my
swing. His swing is his swing. Your swing is yours. How you apply your
swing to any given situation; thats the objective.
Steve Strickers method is the best! His stats from within 100 yds on the
PGA tour prove this as well, he leads the “proximity to the hole” stats
from 100yds. Steves method is wristless!, just a body turn with arms, no
wrists, the club comes in very shallow, no divot, heaps consistant, try it!
can someone tell me did he made a open club facing the hole at the 1:00
time of the video?
He felt so cocky after the second shot. lol
@killthejoy Yes he did. The front edge of the club is probably aimed at the
hole (or slightly right because his body is open left and the swing path
has a small effect on initial ball direction). Opening the club just
increases the loft (and bounce). Having the body open slightly increases
the steepness of the club into the ball-which means the ball spins a little
more and contact is usually better too.
LD hit the ball so soft. The sound is like he hit a table tennis ball. For
me it is so difficult (high hcper). So I use a 7 and let it roll. But i
will practise LD’s tip. This is really Masterclass!
what a bullshit camera view…. zoom in on the ball for a pitching lesson?
very nice video’s of luke with my favorite clubs.. however.. could you get
a better shot of luke total (even more angles like front, back and front)
but at least show the swing and move and not just feet and ball…
Epic short game skills
No dislikes. Not surprising cause there’s nothing bad about Luke or the
quality of this video.
Like the mental tip about refining your focus to smallest meaningful
resolution. However, I think it’s also worth adding that this should be
just for that, focus pre and during the shot. But AFTER the shot, care
should be taken to not evaluate ones performance based on the same
criteria, as this could lead to disappointment, anger, negative thinking.
Best to keep a separate, hoped for result in mind for the post shot
evaluation, e.g. in this case, getting within tap-în range, or within 6ft,
etc
I’m going to work on getting tap-ins to become one of the best players in
the world.
0:03 – Not Bad
a shiny object must have pasted by,when luke was chipping because the
camerman was really f****** distracted
Absolutely agree. I expect to chip & pitch to a tap in most of the time and
get quite disappointed when I leave myself over 6ft.
What make & model shoes are those?
How does this great player not have a couple of majors under his belt? He
has one of the best swings ever! Go Luke!!
