I cant believe how? simple he makes it look!

Jack was the only golfer in the history of the game who was better with a one iron than a wedge. No wonder his short game was "average". He didn't? need it Lol

TheGolfSage your wrong "It is important to this type of footwork and to good over all swing form to retain a preponderance of weight on the inside of the right foot during the backswing. Often I use a conscious shift of weight to the inside of my right foot as the initiating backswing feel. As long as my right knee remains slightly flexed I am certain to get the club back by turning and coiling rather than swaying my body laterally." (Jack Nicklaus'? Lesson Tee p. 45)

During the backswing, Jack's left knee pops out away from his body, instead of working back toward the right knee. This affects perfect? balance at the top of the backswing, as your weight is likely transferred to the right heel and outside of the right foot instead of to the inside of the right foot. Perfect balance is a key factor in the player's ability to smoothly and quickly start the downswing back to the left side with a hard leg drive, thereby delivering maximum power at impact.--GS.

That was always his aim--Grout always taught him from his earliest days that it was hard enough to learn one good swing, and that it was wrong to think of "the wedge swing" and? "the 2-iron swing," etc.

As he works his way through the clubs from PW to the? driver, the swing naturally becomes longer and less restricted.....only because of the length of the shaft, as he naturally stands progressively further away from the ball.

I'm amazed by his consistency. All his swings were virtually identical no matter which? club is used !

when he said driver, i thought "a driver? off of the fairway?" then i remembered that this is the man? who used to hit 1 irons

from upper arlington, ohio baby! best ever:) great swing. course is so? beautiful it looks almost fake.

@thevmanvj? ,try a softer shaft again , with a tip stiff regular the regular you were hitting was most likely a soft tip , youll get the 6-8 back and should have more control with a tip stiff shaft ,, you can take your old one and tip it , cut half inch off hosel end, most all pros half there drivers tipped check it out online, youll stll get the shaft kick and the head will be more at the aiming line at impact with the tip stiff, giving more control and distance try it, ty hitmanhawky@youtube

His movement is so smooth ... so beautiful it looks like? art

look at the progression of the foot work.With driver and long irons the left heel comes up noticeably.With short irons the weight is? still shifting from left heel to the balls of the left foot but it is not so easily observed.

I just recently switched to stiff shafts. I lost about 6-8 yds. per club, but the ball goes much straighter. Because of this I also switched to softer 3-piece balls. I generally use the Titlelist NXT Tour, or the Bridgestone TOUR 330-RX(a great ball, but they're expensive...setting? me back about 45 bucks a dozen).
By: thevmanvj. on 26 Nov 10, 05:37:16
Afterthot: I can hit? farther, but I wouldn't know where it's going..LOL
By: thevmanvj. on 26 Nov 10, 05:35:09
I generally hit my 7-iron 148-152 yds.?
By: dschultz6072. on 26 Nov 10, 05:29:06
how far can you hit a 7 iron? ? i hit mine 120.
By: thevmanvj. on 26 Nov 10, 05:25:07
Supplimental: If the stance is too narrow,? his beltbuckle would fall into a verical line behind the left cheek as he stands up to the ball. If the stance is too wide for the length of the shaft, the beltbuckle would fall into a vertical line ahead of his left cheek.
By: thevmanvj. on 26 Nov 10, 05:19:28
To understand the element of spine tilt, you have look at Mr. Nicklaus standing at address? from top to bottom. make a vertical line from his beltbuckle upward. You'll notice this line falls into alignment with his left cheek while keeping the knees, hips, and shoulders square to the bodyline (established by his feet at address) through every club in the bag. This can only be achieved when the width of the stance correctly coincides with the length of the shaft.
By: dschultz6072. on 26 Nov 10, 04:14:33
i didn't understand? a word you wrote. none of it.
By: thevmanvj. on 25 Nov 10, 09:06:40
Afterthought: You'll notice that with most of the great ball-strikers in the game (past and present) all have very similar rates of spine tilt as they? stand up to ball. This comes from the width of the stance correctly coinciding with the length of the shaft, while keeping the knees, hips and shoulders square to the bodyline when working with ANY ball position system.

"The more things you can do right, the easier the game of golf becomes. Ball position is one of those fundamental? elements that must be done corretly in order consistently hit good golf shots."...Jack Nicklaus. Consistent body alignment, and rate of spine tilt (with his beltbuckle in a vertical line with his left cheek) for all basic shots eliminates a potentially varible element in building "One Basic Swing", not to mention helped him to win 76 PGA Tour Titles and 18 Majors.
By: dschultz6072. on 24 Nov 10, 19:06:14
wtf...seriously? how much did you really study this guy to pick apart all that useless information? you can't possibly use jack's stance and posture as a model for ANY golfer, considering his back got wrecked...and this was HIS swing. here's how you do it: let the club SWING back and forth across the grass, find where it bottoms out consistently, then stick the ball right before that bottom point. there's no rocket science approach to? anything golf. we're all built differently.
By: rorikjunior. on 23 Nov 10, 19:41:40
Did he hit the ball off the ground with? the driver without a tee? I guess you can give Nicklaus a broomstick and he will still hit the ball longer than most of us :-)
By: thevmanvj. on 01 Nov 10, 17:51:23
True... clubs, balls, and courses can and do change, but the fundamentals of Mr. Nicklaus' swing are timeless. These? are the same fundamentals that were passed on to him by his instructor, Jack Grout.
