Steady 6 iron aimed at the centre of the green.

A bit tongue in cheek and, to be noted, coming from a complete hacker but here's my 2 cents: Just by looking at the two, Cowen looks like a pro coach. Foley looks like a Golf Digest intern who got lost on the premises while trying to deliver a semi-important folder to his boss. With Foley you always get the feeling he doesn't understand half of what he's saying. With Cowen, you know he's telling you less than half of what he knows because he knows you're too dumb to get the whole thing. And finally, Champ may have a much better swing than Stenson (he doesn't). But Stenson is a much better player. I'd rather have the swing that won the Open with a final round 63 over a scintillating Phil Mickelson.

Wonderful stuff Doc ps look forward to getting back on the practice ground and putting the stuff into practice as it were. Thanks a lot really enjoying your instruction Mark

Probably useful but pricing is silly

Covens swing is more vertical and wrist finish and Foley is horizontal and flat with a forced flat horizontal lag……Cowan pulls vertically down and Foley pulls horizontally across I prefer a single plane swing

Allow head to move? Didn’t foley teach the stack and tilt method?

Good advice but talking as a high handicapper and looking at that course your playing. Most High Handicap players will have poor contact and do not all ways get the ball going in the direction they aim for. playing the ball downhill or uphill on different lies can be an issue.

Great shot!

Watching videos like this really interests me. As a beginner, it’s good to see misses rather than just watching the highlights. Thank you! 😁 🙏

Did not explain the three finishes …to review your review a 3 out of 10

Great video. It captures the two steps forward, one step back feeling i currently have working on improvement and fundamental change. The discipline of having regular lessons with you, Dr Noel, is a really important part of that process. Knowing i have to send a video at some point even if its really not working well that week, for instance!

I’ve been getting great results with a similar concept, except with one caveat. I heard somewhere on RUclips that the loft on clubs are setup with a particular lean of the shaft. Basically, if you soul your club prior to taking your grip, the grip will be progressively “weaker” as you go from wedges to driver, as compared to taking your grip with a vertical shaft with each club. So my wedges grip has become much much stronger, even when opening to get more bounce. My 5-iron, for example, sits relatively vertical, and I adjust my grip accordingly. My driver sits with the shaft leaning back. I’m still taking a bit stronger grip over all, but when I try to take a really strong grip I get a bad straight slice or a really nasty pull hook. So I stay with basically a neutral, two-knuckle grip, setting up with the club determined shaft lean.

Foley is up to date and knowledgable. Cowan is smug, annoying and dated.

This video is long overdue and much appreciated. The L to L swing is great if you're hitting from a flat lie, maintain inside path and you've practiced within last 48-72 hours. But in sloped terrain, or different conditions than a driving range, and if you haven't practiced recently, the Pete Cowan model is way better. This is pretty much what Malaska, Milo Lines, etc. teach nowadays. I've been playing this swing for last 3 months and I'm in the fairway more often and lose way less balls. Just played on Sunday and finished the round with same ball I started with. Pre-2000 everybody was taught L to L.

Do you hit the driver and woods the same way?

One question for you: for the sake of not causing injury to the back of an old bugger like me, which is the best type of swing to use - I tend to use a hybrid of the two swings at present, that is to say that I have the leading edge of the club facing down (parallel with my spine) on the back swing and downswing but finish with a rollover release and my back is always sore after a game. So which swing method would you advise so as not to cause injury to my back? Thanks.

Is this type of swing good for a 74 year old guy or will be damaging to my back and if so should I be more ‘army’s’?

Short & sweet....former baseball pull hitter, so the strong grip suits me biomechanically. The powerful hip rotation has been my goto since little league.

.. clear and concise, well done 👏👏

Loading the shoulders should help prevent an over the top swing path.

Just found your channel. I have had lots of lessons and read countless books and watched 1000s of videos on RUclips. Never have I understood movement as I do now. Thank you for posting and sharing, I will be reviewing this for a few days. Subscribed 👍

Great drills…Will give them all a try. It’s all about taking focus away from the ball. Thanks for all these drills.

More Cowen quack instructions.

Great shots .. but u asked for a cut .. and both drew the ball lol and stayed on the green too prove u wrong 😂😂😂

My daughters gave me one as a christmas gift. It was fun at the beginning. Then it started to be quite annoying. My best shots got the worst numbers. My worst shots got the best numbers. I went to see a pro to check if I was using it correctly. He said yes. Now this trackmotion has been in a drawer for a couple of months. It’s a toy that most of amateurs can’t use alone. You still need a pro to check what you’re doing wrong and how to correct it. As far as I am concerned as long as my golf balls go straight more or less in the middle of the fairway and or the green I am happy and couldn’t care less about what this Hackmotion may say I’m doing wrong

spelled transmission wrong...

I have had an impact ball at home for years but it has not really been used for the reason you state. However, I had a lesson a short while ago where I was using a sponge ball that does the same thing and was amazed at how much difference it made to my swing in a very short period of time. I found the drill hard, so my aim now is to use the impact ball regularly over the next few months to train that feeling of squeezing the forearms together.

This is very informative 👍🏿

Thank You. - My Back

I can't help but think that any (non elite) amateur who goes down the rabbit hole of trying to load their shoulder is only going get worse. I'm not a Pete Cowan fan, he always seems like the grumpiest man ever and whenever I've seen the videos of good players having lessons with him, none of them seem to have a clue what he's talking about!

Pete has been working/ consulting with biomechanics expert Ryan Lumsden for over 20 years. And has integrated physiology and Sport Science in his coaching for many years, had a close working relationship with the late Ramsay McMaster for many years..

A bad back is pulled muscles that are in a spasm, warm yourself up before playing avoid injury. If injured massage the mucles to relax them and pain stops.

What a LOAD of rubbish.

Very helpful and well explained. Thanks!

😅I get your point. I don’t think k any golfer consciously loads the shoulders in the downswing at least. But these are good principles to bear in mind.

Sorry but I completely disagree with this loading concept of Pete Cowan. I can only go by my own swing, but i hit a 5 iron 237 yards and I'm a 12 handicap golfer and 67 years of age, inmao loading causes tension. When I swing a golf club I think speed not loading 😎

Never discount someone's advice that had to learn the hard way

Having a cut shot & a draw shot is basically golf 101 for anyone trying to be ok at this game. You need to be able to play shots into different wind’s & different pins.

I’d work with the slope and go high and floaty

I love this video

I've had the sharks on chipping for two weeks. It's cost me about 11 shots per round 3 times. I practiced last night and chipped 50 balls perfectly and then......I couldn't chip another ball after 30 attempts and quit. I missed my appointment with my pro and have a tournament on Tuesday😳😳😳😳😳

Definitely not advice for amateurs lol

What? The club opens after impact because theres a heavy heel strike with the ground, but the toe isn't digging into the dirt as much, then the toe grabs the dirt later which opens the face...

Maybe it wasn't clear but the wind was hard from the right so the girl hit a fade to hold it into the wind and that's why it went straight and landed softly. If she hit a draw it would have curved a lot and bounced off the back.

lovely

Zero comparison. Cowen is a cut above and has proven this. Not a fair fight.

Probably something that I would look at over the winter.
