This is a great video. On the backswing as my arms are thrown back the
weight sometimes causes me sway over to the right side. To counter
balance the weight of the arms, I step into the toes of my left foot just
as my arms are moving back. Then on the downswing weight is shifted it to
the heel of the left foot. Does this move seem like an appropriate move.?

Thanks for taking the time to share your comments and I’m really glad that
you use my videos as refreshers as that was always my intention. Best of
luck with your golf this season and thanks again for sharing your comments.

i do tend not to finish all the way facing the front, instead it feels like
a 45° half turn. On the occasions that I do turn fully facing the target I
feel I’ve hit the ball better. Great Video

golfconfidencepro says:

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it.

KJ Fogarty says:

Wonderful teaching style, sorry for the typo, no edit option! Thank you for
a clear explanation.

KJ Fogarty says:

You have a wonerful teaching ppp

sport142 says:

Thanks for the tips. This is the first video I’ve watched that explained
why I was stepping forward after my swing. Now I know what to try to
correct. Thanks!

wesbilly says:

Best golf video ever. I watch it often. When I got this I quit the fat
shots. How tight should the elbows, or arms be?

golfconfidencepro says:

You need just enough pressure to keep them straight – though not stiff.
Tight muscles are short muscles that restrict motion and inhibit balance. I
hope that answers your question and best of luck with your golf.

he talks without a pause and the audio is so awful – it does improve?? why
not film it again, and less verbose, please!!

golfconfidencepro says:

Thanks so much for your comments. I hope the information helps you to play
better golf and thanks again for leaving your comments.

wesbilly says:

I try to come back and watch your videos before I play as a refresher to
improve my game and strengthen my fundamentals. I try to mimic what you do
with the rear hip. I am left handed so I say front and rear. I think it
makes my knee action better. Thanks for simplifying the golf swing for me.

At address, suppose you are hitting a five iron. The ball goes one or two
ball diameters forward of the center of your stance. At setup, do you put
the club face in the middle of your stance, one or two diameters behind the
ball, or do you place the club in back of the ball, which is forward of
center. Thanks in advance.

golfconfidencepro says:

Thank you for your constructive criticism. Verbose…possibly; however more
likely just a thorough explanation of a common problem in golf. Yes the
audio is wind affected in parts but only for five percent of the video.
Golfers can overlook this and appreciate the lesson for what it is. Someone
genuinly wanting to help them to play better golf. For all the positive
comments I receive about my videos I expect that some will critique it as
if it was in the running for an Academy Award.

golfconfidencepro says:

Thanks for your kind words Ian. I certainly agree with you that it starts
and ends with good basics. Good luck with your game and thanks so much for
commenting.

golfconfidencepro says:

An old golf instructor that I worked with many years ago would remind his
students that “one good turn deserves another” He was reminding every one
of his students to turn freely back and through to a full finish. Keep
working on your finish and you’ll make much better swings. Thanks again for
sharing your comments.

Harold Pohoresky says:

Super video. A must see on a root fundamental.

golfconfidencepro says:

Thanks for taking the time to share your comments and I appreciate the
feedback. Best of luck to you and your golf.

golfconfidencepro says:

Thank you I appreciate it.

golfconfidencepro says:

Thank you and I hope it helps you to achieve a consistent balanced state
when you’re hitting golf shots.

Dear Lawrie thanks for your video lessons the best i have seen realy goes
back to the basics everyone should review these lessons quite regular
cheers ian

golfconfidencepro says:

I’m glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate you sharing your kind words.

golfconfidencepro says:

Thank you for the kind words and I’m glad you enjoy the videos. Good luck
with your game and thanks for sharing your comments.

Tom Donnelly says:

Great video, Lawrie! I struggle with balance issues and had no clue how to
correct them. I can hardly wait to try this out. I think it will help a
lot. Thanks again!

golfconfidencepro says:

That’s a great question. In my experience the ball is positioned so that
the rear of the ball is in the middle of the stance. In other words, the
leading edge is positioned directly opposite center. This however can never
be the rule for every golfer as ball position is really influenced by the
low point of the swing arc so some golfer may have the ball slightly
forward or even back of center. Thanks for your great question and good
luck with your game.
