Eric founded the Eric Jones Golf Academy to help his students do one simple thing: learn to play better golf faster, we don’t teach a method. We teach you to play better golf by helping you develop your swing around your capabilities. Our approach balances swing mechanics with a scoring focus and positive mental techniques to bring out the best in your game. You’ll learn what it takes to build a repeatable swing you can trust and the effective practice techniques to take that swing to the course.
Einleitung
In diesem Video bespricht Eric Jones, MA, PGA Professional und World Long Drive Champion fünf Schlüssel, um mehr Distanz zu erhalten. Er nennt sie abgekürzt BLAST. Halten der Balanz (Balance), Druckpunkt auf der Innenseite des rechten Fußes (Leverage), der Schwungbogen (Arc), die Geschwindigkeit (Speed) und der Schwung zum Ziel (Target). All das wird in den folgenden Videos ab Pkt 3 besprochen.
Most golfers suffer from a poor weight transfer on the downswing. The average right-hander stays on the right foot too long, causing the right shoulder to move outward. The result is poor contact and a loss of distance and accuracy. Your first goal should be to complete the backswing. Then you should start down with a slide-turn of your hips as your weight moves to your left foot. You might feel that your right side is taking over and throwing the club at the ball. That’s OK as long as your weight is shifting toward the target and your left side is leading. I hit the heck out of the ball with my right hand. Use this image to check your weight transfer: Your right knee should point at or slightly in front of the ball at impact. That shows you’ve made a good shift. Here’s the sequence: Left knee points behind the ball at the top; right knee points toward it at impact
A starting tee always needs a good deal of distance to reach the greens as fast as possible. Unfortunately, most recreational golfers don’t have enough swing speed to add more distance to their shots. Most of this is due to a lack of upper body involvement.
That’s why I designed this exercise to give you a good posture that instantly introduces speed to your swing. I call it the “Arm Towel Speed Drill”.
In an earlier lesson, I’ve emphasized that rotation is important when taking a swing. This exercise will help your arms have a better swinging posture. It will also help distribute upper body strength essential to put speed in your swing. Remember, speed is essential to gain good distance.
There are two main components that go into golf swing physics. Both of these will result in the best possible shot:
1. Good swinging speed of the arms and shoulders.
2. Uncocking the wrists at the right moment so that the club connects squarely with the ball. Uncocking the wrists means letting the wrists rotate freely, while still holding on to the club.
Eric Jones, PGA Teaching Professional and Two-Time World Long-Drive Champion, shares one of the keys to understanding the difference between a wide swing and a narrow swing.
Don’t ever take a divot? Not sure if your divots are in the correct spot? Don’t even know what a divot actually is? A good divot is the result of a correct impact position. In other words…if you don’t take a divot, if your divot is not in the right spot or if your divot is not the correct shape, then you’ve made an incorrect swing. Your swing did not bring you to a fundamentally correct impact position. Yes, it’s true we can pick a ball off the turf or even take a tiny tuft of grass and get the ball to fly where we want it to go. We can also make swings that feel good and seem solid. Don’t fool yourself! Rest assured, you would have had an even more solid feel, more distance and more spin if you had impacted the ball in such a way that produced a proper divot
7. Curing the Over-The-Top Move | Right Knee & Target
In this video Eric Jones show you how to cure the over-the-top move which creates an angle of attack that is too steep. In this video he will show you the two root causes — one mechanical, one mental — and an approach to get your swing back on plane.
Eric Jones, PGA Golf Professional and World Long Drive Champion explains how to have better posture so you can hit the ball more consistently, lengthen your golfing career and reduce the risk of back injury.
Wrist Hinge refers to the cocking motion of the wrists during the golf swing. A players’ wrists will hinge on both the backswing and the downswing. Hinging the wrists adds a second lever to the golf swing and thus helps create more clubhead speed and distance. Without wrist hinge a player would only have their shoulders and arms to generate speed. Adding wrist hinge also makes the golf swing feel less stiff and more natural.
