  1. @dschultz6072 “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.

  2. funny how easy he swing the driver here. watch him play in his youth and
    there was no such easy swings. he was crushing it

  3. @clarinetjo 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.

  4. Man Jack really bowed his left wrist through impact. In my book he is the
    best long iron player ever, he could hit a one iron better than anyone who
    ever lived.

  5. @durs6 another armchair critic. how many majors have you won dickhead? Get
    a life and leave the true legends of the game alone. asshole

  6. @remmy100 Afterthought. If you watch Mr. Nicklaus work his way through the
    bag, you’ll really notice that the base of his neck is in the same position
    in relation to the ball at impact. This is a key element in building “one
    basic swing”.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. i tried to imitate his swing yesterday, and so far i’m pleased with the
    results. only thing is that when i try to pitch with my 9 ir, i have to aim
    slightly left of target.

  10. It does. Jack was taught to keep his hips level throughout the swing. as
    the swing got longer with the longer clubs, he allowed his heel to be
    pulled off the ground. What’s most impressive about his footwork is how he
    begins his transition to the downswing by mashing that heel back into the
    ground as he shifts into his left side. I believe that Jack Nicklaus had
    the most ‘dynamic’ swing in the history of the game. Maybe not technically
    ‘perfect’ like Hogan’s, but more dynamic.

  11. well maybe wedge in, but he was named second best putter of all time to
    tiger in golf magazine’s best putters all time article.

  12. 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
