@Hyperloop_RBLX @TigerWoods Hi Kevin, no I’m not at Quest any more.

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

Unbelievable scenes!! The greatest ever!!! @tigerwoods #masters #tigerwoods

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

@GDaviesGolf8 Come up this way, we’ll go for a knock there pal 👍

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

@25golfman1 Amazing day!!

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

What you believe is truth! Those that say something can’t be done are projecting their own feelings/failures and will attempt 2 hold you back from what it is you want, & disguise it as they are “only looking out 4 you”.I wonder if tiger listened 🐯

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

@25golfman1 Im not too sure to be honest. Possibly 🤷‍♂️

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

Tigers putt on 9 😳 #goat 🐯

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

Great feedback to hear Kieran 👌!

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

Cont..... matched due to wanting to pull down the arms resulting in poor sequence and loss of power!! Just be careful what your working on! Find a Teaching pro who addresses your ball flight issues then works that back to the root cause of the problem!

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

Cont... angles in early transition as their attempt to gain more “LAG” & hold on to the angles often results in one or all of these 3 things ⛔️added wrist extension resulting in excessively open face ⛔️ getting really narrow with no room to turn freely ⛔️arms and pivot aren’t....

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

GET MORE “LAG” AND SMASH IT 500 YARDS FURTHER!! Sound familiar?? This topic is either used as click bate or just completely misunderstood! Lag is absolutely NOT where the power in the golf swing comes from! Most amateur golfers would actually benefit from throwing away their...

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

Cont....... along with turf interaction which is needed to stabilise face which creates the ILLUSIONof shaft lean. Learn to move your body better and the correct impact alignments will follow.

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

Cont...... So attempting to push the hands forward in swing will result in the clubhead slowing down which is obviously not desirable! Look at Rory as a visual of address vs impact. It’s his body alignments at impact and the uncocking of his right elbow and wrist (speeding CH up)

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

Shaft lean is a hot topic I hear many amateurs & professionals talking about and is a VERY MISUNDERSTOOD concept. Grip a club and hold it out in front of you and push your hands forward as if creating shaft lean. Which way does the clubhead move??........ backwards!!!!!

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

I’m not going to disagree with 1 of the greats.However,most of the tour golfers have far better flexibility than us & would be able to keep the chest rotating with the head fixed. 4 amateurs this is rarely possible resulting in the pivot stalling & all kinds of Issues from there

@JGoddardGolf @PhizGolf I like the idea but Tom Watson said he not only looks at the back of the ball but he would focus on a dimple at the back of the ball. I like 'watch for the hit and keep rotating through'.

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

Absolutely Matthew! Feel and real are polars apart

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

You can still book in with me online 🙌

[Paul Makinson @pmakinson1234]

@JGoddardGolf I’m good thanks. Ah gutted...where do I go for a quality lesson 😂👍😂 hope things going well for you

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

Hey Paul, hopevyour well pal. No not there now mate.

[Paul Makinson @pmakinson1234]

@JGoddardGolf You not at quest anymore pal?

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

I play with friends who are social golfers and the momebtbthey got a bad shot it’s the dreaded catchphrase 😩

[Isak Goodnoe @IsakGoodnoe]

@JGoddardGolf Ok! Yeah I can see how it could stall rotation just like Rose is hinting at. It’s certainly the most annoying thing to hear on a golf course. I know much more about the golf swing than the average 60 year old and I’m a 8 handicapper, but I still get that tip all the time.

[James Goddard @JGoddardGolf]

I agree. His head doesn’t rotate nearly as much as he demonstrates but that’s his feel to free him up and allow the chest to rotate through
