Some Teaching Video from K.J. Choi and Manuel de la Torre

Today's post is basically all video. I've mentioned Manuel de la Torre's book Understanding the Golf Swing before on this blog, and some of you have told me that it was very helpful. So here are some videos that may help you -- and the rest of you who are just curious -- understand his slightly different approach to the golf swing. It's based more on the old Ernest Jones techniques, which are an adaptation of the old classic swing to steel shafts. Every pro uses the Jones stuff to some degree, so it's worth knowing.

K.J. Choi's swing appears in particular much like this and, as you've got seen over the previous couple of weeks, it's a completely dependable swing. So I've covered a couple of Choi motion pictures as properly so that you can see the similarities inside the motion.

First, here are two Choi videos from 2010. I picked them because most of the more moderen stuff I determined is very brief, and his swing truely hasn't changed much in any respect when you consider that these have been made. The first one is a driver swing, the second one an iron swing.

Here is Manuel de los angeles Torre hitting pictures. See how comparable his motion and Choi's are?

Now here's an old Academy Live show from GC with de la Torre. This is back when Peter Kessler was hosting, but it was done after de la Torre's book came out. This is the whole show, nearly 45 minutes, and while the first five minutes may sound like a lot of geometric gibberish, there are a number of useful drills scattered throughout the show that can help you get the sequencing of your swing correct.

The 11th minute has a especially useful drill so that it will teach you the difference between dragging the membership throughout the ball with the face open and getting your fingers lower back to rectangular so the ball will cross where you aimed.

This is a sincerely precise creation to what de l. A. Torre teaches, so it's an amazing way to see if his ebook may help you without having to buy the e-book first. It's well worth watching the video simply to research the drills.
