Golf Swing Changes for Better Ball Striking [Video]

0:00 | hello everyone it’s Paige and welcome

0:02 | back to my YouTube channel so I have

0:05 | been posting my swing on Instagram

0:07 | stories and you guys have noticed some

0:09 | big changes and you’re dead on I started

0:12 | working with Jonathan yarwood I haven’t

0:14 | taken lessons in a very long time and

0:17 | with the match that I had against John

0:20 | Daly well it was then Jerry Kelly you

0:22 | guys can go back and watch cell recap on

0:25 | that I wanted to get my game in a better

0:28 | spot I’ve always struggled a little bit

0:29 | with my ball striking I think it’s

0:32 | because of just the way my body is and I

0:35 | could never really get on plane and in

0:38 | the right positions and so Jonathan

0:41 | really talked me through it in a way

0:42 | that just clicked for me and that’s the

0:46 | biggest thing when you are trying to

0:48 | find a new golf instructor it’s not that

0:51 | maybe one is better than the other It’s

0:53 | just sometimes they explain it in a way

0:55 | that just clicks and it makes sense and

0:58 | that’s what happened with Jonathan so I

0:59 | want to walk you through some of the new

1:02 | swing changes that I’ve been working on

1:04 | and how it has helped me become a better

1:07 | boss Striker

1:09 | foreign

1:20 | so the first change that we made was my

1:21 | grip so I had my left hand and my right

1:25 | hand were too far separated and I had

1:28 | too much of a strong grip so what we did

1:30 | is we brought my right hand up and it

1:33 | almost feels as if it’s on my left hand

1:35 | as you know grip changes can be quite

1:36 | uncomfortable and so I just brought it

1:39 | up and that was the first change that we

1:42 | made and he said that it was one of the

1:44 | most important changes because if your

1:46 | grip set up ball position is off then

1:49 | you can’t get in the right position so

1:51 | we just brought my right hand up to my

1:54 | left hand the next thing that we worked

1:55 | on was my arm position so I’ve talked

1:59 | about this before but he just confirmed

2:02 | that this was exactly what I should be

2:03 | doing with having a larger chest so I

2:07 | was getting too far on the left side of

2:11 | my left breast and so when I was taking

2:13 | it back I had to like move it out of the

2:16 | way to get it in position and so my grip

2:18 | hand was coming out in a round and

2:20 | inside and then crossed at the top and

2:23 | so what we did is We Lay this arm on top

2:27 | and then we bend the elbow but when we

2:31 | bend it it’s not like tucked in it’s

2:34 | almost like it has a Bend outward and

2:37 | this is actually going to help me with

2:38 | my takeaway which I’ll talk about next

2:40 | so again over the top on the left side

2:43 | Bend slightly outward on the right arm

2:59 | next we’re going to talk about the

3:01 | takeaway and this was the biggest change

3:03 | for me so I have always struggled with

3:05 | my takeaway by coming out and in and

3:07 | then I get a little cross at the top

3:09 | which means then I come over the top

3:12 | so what we decided to do is grip and the

3:15 | setup really helped

3:17 | but what Jonathan said is that when you

3:19 | take it back I wouldn’t move my hips at

3:22 | all and so my hips would stop and then

3:25 | my arms would go out so we wanted to get

3:27 | the hips to move first and the drill

3:30 | that I always do really helps where you

3:33 | push the ball back and as you do that

3:35 | your turn you turn your hips

3:37 | and then this is the biggest game

3:39 | changer for me is I could never get my

3:42 | elbow to bend properly and it’s this

3:44 | motion not this motion

3:47 | not this

3:49 | this

3:50 | so it’s a turn and you bend it back

3:58 | and then from there you caulk and turn

4:02 | and that’s the takeaway it’s as simple

4:04 | and easy as that and I was always trying

4:07 | to over complicate it by bending and

4:10 | trying to do so much but it really is

4:12 | just like pulling a lawnmower almost

4:14 | that’s the feeling that I have that’s

4:16 | not what he said

4:18 | um but you just turn and move your elbow

4:20 | backwards

4:23 | and we also worked on shortening my back

4:25 | swing but that just happened naturally

4:27 | with everything else that we were

4:29 | working on after we fixed the grip the

4:31 | setup and the takeaway the next thing

4:33 | was my weight transfer

5:03 | foreign

5:24 | next up we worked on weight transfer and

5:27 | also bringing my club head more on the

5:29 | inside I know a lot of you struggle with

5:31 | coming over the top and I did as well it

5:34 | was because my body was turning inwards

5:37 | and so my hands if you wash my hands see

5:40 | them just come forward

5:42 | so to get my hands drop more from the

5:45 | inside I have to bump my leg out to have

5:49 | my hands drop to then turn through it so

5:52 | it’s not a backwards motion it’s a bump

5:56 | motion and so if you’re slicing it

5:58 | coming over the top your hips need to

6:00 | work properly for your club path to come

6:03 | down on the proper plane

6:05 | I you also just have to think about it

6:08 | so when you’re at the top I have to feel

6:10 | like I am dropping it so far from the

6:13 | inside so I try to exaggerate it and I

6:15 | feel like I’m almost like this you’re

6:17 | not actually doing that but that is the

6:19 | feeling that you have to have

6:21 | so I really feel like I’m hitting these

6:24 | Inside Out draws and you want to

6:26 | exaggerate it at first but the hip

6:28 | motion moving forward gives you room to

6:31 | be able to drop your hands down and so

6:33 | that’s everything that I’ve been working

6:35 | on so at the top nice and slow

6:38 | bump drop it down turn it through

6:42 | well that’s not everything but that is

6:45 | everything that we have worked on so far

6:47 | and I’ve seen massive changes and

6:49 | differences in my swing I wanted

6:52 | something that was more reliable and

6:54 | consistent and and simple there were so

6:57 | many times where I’d be on the Tee Box

6:59 | in Fairway and I’m like I have no idea

7:03 | where this is going and that’s because I

7:05 | had a two-way mess from a poor takeaway

7:08 | coming over the top and it would go pull

7:12 | left sometimes with a closed Club face

7:14 | then it would go left and then sometimes

7:16 | I would come over with an open Club face

7:19 | and I’d hit these kind of dinky little

7:21 | Fades and so I was just not really in a

7:23 | great position and it makes sense

7:25 | because I haven’t been taking lessons

7:28 | and I haven’t really been grinding on my

7:29 | swing but I just had this this goal for

7:32 | this year to play better Golf and seeing

7:35 | someone that can connect with you and

7:37 | help you is so incredibly important

7:40 | again so it’s set up

7:43 | grip

7:45 | turn the hips to start the takeaway

7:48 | kind of brush it along the floor

7:51 | bend the elbow

7:52 | keep turning keep turning keep turning

7:54 | sure in the backswing bump the hip drop

7:58 | it down from the inside

8:00 | fire through it

8:02 | a lot of you also noticed that my

8:04 | takeaway was quick and my fall through

8:06 | was slow and so Jonathan told me to go

8:09 | like as slow as I possibly can on the

8:11 | backswing and then I can fire down

8:14 | through it so now let’s put it all

8:16 | together

8:24 | what’s up

8:30 | so that was what I’ve been working on so

8:32 | far I can feel I feel like I can Master

8:35 | it with my shorter irons longer irons I

8:38 | still struggle with and Jonathan and I

8:40 | really need to work on my driver because

8:41 | since it’s a longer Club I get really

8:44 | inside and it’s hard for me to make

8:46 | those changes we also worked on some

8:48 | wedge shots which I will show you in

8:50 | another video but if you want to get

8:53 | lessons from Jonathan yarwood I will put

8:55 | information down below he teaches out of
