Why You Can't Get Better With YouTube/Social Media Golf Videos
Update: 2024-11-20
Description
Sometimes well intended projects have ill effects. I'd put Youtube Golf Videos into this category.
I honestly believe that people go onto YouTube with the intention of helping golfers get better. In reality, I don't think there is a coach in any sport with the intention of making any one worse at a sport, most coaches have a genuine desire to help people.
However, I think that in general the Youtube format is not well suited to help people improve.
I'll give you a quick 5 reasons why I am making this bold claim:
- Your Grip and Hands do EVERYTHING in the golf swing
- The Golf swing works in 3D, which means if you change one thing, you have to change 2 other corresponding things for it to work and keep working
- The Golf swing is subject to the direction of momentum, and often times you cannot see on video how this momentum is affecting your swing
- Feel is Never real
- Small things make big differences in Golf
