Eli Abad took one lesson from Brian Manzella six months ago and broke 80 twice. Now he's back at the Studio in the Sky for the next level: shooting in the 70s all the time.
Brian, Golf Digest's #14-ranked teacher in America, walks through the whole list. Standing too far from the ball, the 30-degree eye line, the right-hand grip in the roots vs. in the fingers, why the club walks off the plane, and the move Brian calls the hardest in golf: axis tilt through impact. Eli's axis tilt numbers from JC Video go side by side with Rory McIlroy's so you can see exactly where the extra tilt comes from. Then the driver: drag vs. push.
Also: why good mechanics crave new furniture, why Jon Rahm is not built like a normal person, and a putting lesson from the practice green at English Turn built on the Ryan Fox and Jack Nicklaus setup.
Chapters 0:00 The hardest move in golf: the towel drill 1:42 Meet Eli: one lesson, broke 80 twice 3:39 How to take a lesson: the Jackie Burke story 5:17 Too far from the ball 7:53 Nothing about this man should shoot above 75 8:52 Head position: the 30-degree eye line 12:29 The club walks off the plane 16:13 Dynamic lie and the heel hit 17:38 Right-hand grip: roots vs. fingers 18:47 Everybody who beats you grips it like this 20:18 Right hand under or on top: the twist modifier 23:41 The Linus blanket thumb drill 25:48 Why the nest at the top exists 27:53 Jon Rahm is not built like a normal person 29:06 Google the historical grips 31:13 Good mechanics crave new furniture 33:21 The Nunez Tour handicaps haven't moved 34:37 Hands go left and up through the ball 37:41 How did the face get closed? 39:11 Axis tilt: hips forward, upper body back 40:46 Eli vs. Rory: axis tilt in JC Video 43:19 Hit it over the tree 45:08 The right foot has to help 47:37 Pose impact 48:38 Driver: drag vs. push 57:53 The list for Eli 60:50 Putting at English Turn: the line on the ball 62:28 The Ryan Fox, Jack Nicklaus setup 65:33 Only one place the lines look straight
