Big News!...

The new upgraded TGN app is set to release very soon. I've had a cheeky look and it looks unreal...There's a really clear path to improvement based on your tendencies, there is a full stat system as well all built in. Also I'm going to be a part of the coaching team on there :)

More news on the release date coming very soon!

Sharing what has helped me massively:

I used to play golf very often and off a sub 5 handicap but that was largely due to a great short game that allowed me to brute-force my way around the scorecard through sheer practice. Now that I’m a father of two, I don’t have the time to brute-force the weaknesses in my game anymore, so I had to restrategize. I had an over-the-top move and fell into the YouTube trap countless times trying to fix it through theory. This stemmed from various reasons, but mainly because I felt I had to swing as hard as I could just to achieve functional distance and any consistency without repetitions.

What completely changed everything for me was forgetting about every swing position except approaching the ball and keeping my mass (not weight) behind the ball (the scientists call it "P6"—I hate the label, but whatever). Rehearsing that exact feeling in the house, SLOWLY practicing getting into that position, changed everything. Forgetting about inside takeaways, razer blades next your hands, upright, flat, upside down, shallow, or steep where it didn't matter was incredibly freeing.

The human body is an incredible, adaptive machine—it can climb massive rock walls without overthinking—so I am now leveraging that. I just freely trust my body to get to that P6 position, and the rest naturally follows. If you look at all the great players, they all have different backswings, but their P6 positions look almost identical. They are allowing their bodies to get there naturally instead of forcing themselves into a rigid mold. Johnny Miller's "ring the doorbell with the butt end of the grip" feel was revolutionary for this as well.

This is spot on guys. I'm suffering from back issues now and have started swinging flatter and easier and it's massively reduced the stress on my back and I'm striking it really nicely. At 70 I'm chuffed with that

Watched this video a month back and realized that few years back when i played of 13hcp I used to have more flat swing. Now with more upright swing I have struggled to make consistent contact and my hcp is 19. After I saw this video I returned to more flat plane and I think i have already shaved almost 5-7 strokes of 18 holes. Recently scored few 85’s and a 82.

The swing they are recommending is Bobby Jones’.

My ball striking improved significantly when I started to go more inside on my backswing. Before that I was up and out and it was so fragile.

0:50 gotta remember they also weren't trying to hit the ridiculous shapes and distance pros are creating now. So while technological advancements did increase the floor, the ceiling is also higher than before.

And they also played on shag carpet greens which meant sticking it on the green was also easier, which is why pros are obssessed with spin control now.

Loved this. Only played 12 months really struggled at first then tried this old school swing and have been much more consistent

Been working on this for the last couple of months. It feels like I’m taking it way back on the inside, but in reality the videos show I’m now pretty much on plane. Truly a feel and real thing. Even if you can get the club to the perfect position at the top of the backswing, if your backswing plane is significantly different to your striking plane, you will have some re-routing momentum to deal with, and in my case, it was affecting my consistency. Still have a draw, but so far seems less prone to snaps. Early days yet, but seems promising.

spot on - Ive been using more of the Hogan swing and it works so much better. the arms out, clubface out was always difficult for me. I have struck the ball so much better by letting the club get deep behind me. Thanks for this.

I’ve been loving this whole series and journey into old school swings

This is really interesting.

Thank you, that was a really great - and reassuring - video. Back in the 90s, as a kid, I had a slightly steep swing, with a fade as my standard shot. After 30+ years, I've come back to golf again and, not being as flexible as I once was, realized recently that I'm swinging it much flatter, with a nice draw. I've been experimenting with getting steeper in the last couple of weeks but now I feel better about being flatter. I guess it's time for some lessons...

As a somewhat beginner, I'm always being told my take away it too inside, but as soon as I swing flat, I can start to shape the shot. But each lesson they correct my swing to more upright and I end up slicing or push rights. Still can't hit driver at all, maybe I should start to apply my flat swing to the driver to help give me the same ability to shape my shots.

Very very interesting conversation gents. A lot of great points mentioned. It’s something I’m trying to work out right now. I can bring the modern swing to practice consistently but at some point on the course I come out of my posture and get a pull going. Thanks guys

I watched this a couple of weeks ago and this made a lot of sense to what I noticed was happening to me on course. A couple months ago, I started my swing upright with the intent to help me compress, and it was working really nicely.

However, my misses were pulls and I was not sure why until I watched this. So I began to tweak my back swing a little bit with less upright and immediately noticed less pulls - I mean a LOT less pulls! I have been playing 5 times a week, so probably had a dozen games now where I've stuck to the 'less upright and more flat' motion.

It's not a lot of change, but I seem to have found a consistency with my 8 and down irons now.
And, I am still taking small divots (after the ball :))

I am still a high handicapper but really enjoy the small improvements!

So grateful for this!

Love these videos. Gives genuine insights to issues many golfers (including myself) come across. I hate that tug left. Comes in now and then and I’ll work on the fix to neutralise this 💪🏻👌🏻⛳️

How has this not got 1000000 views. This is perfect

Great video, guys.
