The Eye Mistake DESTROYING 93% of Golf Swings (But Nobody Knows About It)

today's lesson is an eye-opener quite literally and it will change how you hit the golf ball 95 of PGA Tour players are cross-eyed dominant now eye dominance how does this even affect your golf swing does it really matter for years I've struggled with this problem of looking at the golf ball whenever I look down at the ball I would feel like I'm seeing a couple Club faces and this is crazy it's like Parallax it's like these these lines are crossing it would drive me nuts on the putting green I wasn't sure where the face was pointed and it didn't make me feel really confident standing over a golf ball but here's another thing it also affects how you swing the club so with my right eye dominance the the eye that's behind the ball what started happening with me is I automatically would start aiming more and more and more to the right without even thinking about it another thing that would happen is that I would start swinging more and more in to out this way so I hit a lot of hooks a lot of pushes a lot of pulls and it wasn't satisfying because I'm missing the Fairway and and you just don't know when that shot's going to come up you're struggling to play good golf but I never thought it was my eyes until one day I said I had enough I feel like I'm looking at two faces down here two Club faces it's like having two different golf swings so what I did was I just took my right eye out of it I closed my right eye all of a sudden I made a swing boom right up the proper path and I hit a ball I even hit a ball like this and it was so silky smooth close the eye take the oh my goodness I I took it out of play and it's gone it's straight the swing felt different of course but I didn't feel like I was swinging out this way I felt like I was swinging more down towards the target the strike was amazing the ball didn't hook I did it with the putter I started making more putts so here's what I do now because it really changed everything for me and I want you to think about this such a big deal one thing that a lot of people don't know about me is I started out as a left-handed golfer they just didn't have left-handed clubs in the early early 90s you know how it was and so my dad switched me to right-handed but my swing used to be like this because I'm right eye dominant I'll be looking down at the ball like this and I'd swing back and when I looked at my left-handed swing I was like man it always goes up the proper path now don't copy this left-handed swing I haven't done this since I was a child but the idea was I just swing left-handed and the path's always good like why why is the path good why that's the positions I want to hit in my right-handed swing because my right eye is on the target side my dominant eye is facing the target and all of a sudden everything gets all whacked when my my non-dominant eye is now on the target side so I switch where my left eye is now my Left Eye's Target side right handed now it's all this again so here's what I did to fix the problem and it's going to sound kind of crazy I took my eye out of it I turn my head a little bit now Jack Nicholas was known for doing this in the golf swing he would turn his neck but what this did it eliminates my dominant eye so it doesn't interfere with my swing so I'll swing like this I'll set up like this and I'll swing and I'll stripe it and I'm swinging more to the Target I'm not trying I'm not swinging in such a way that I'm going to hook the ball and then I could do it again now I'm really exaggerating it here to get a feel of a feeling of a swing that goes more towards the target and you see the ball just murdered out there no mercy on that golf ball now another thing that started happening I was a little worried about how my my right eye was starting to do this in the golf swing because it was so dominant I started having my head turn out this way to see the ball out of my dominant eye so I'd swing like this it was kind of backwards well another thing that started happening when I took out my dominant eye as I swung I could get more tilt so better relationship with the ball because I always struggle with a little bit of loss of tilt means contact wasn't as crisp when I did that so this allowed me to tilt the amount of shoulder my lead shoulder down more but it also gave me a lot more turn I felt like this was the most turn I had years and the ball was getting explosive off the club off the tee straight far all by taking out my dominant eye and this really applies to you if you are someone who is not cross eye dominant so if you're a right-handed player and in your left eye is dominant you're lucky but I'd say most of us who shoot with a gun I'm I'm right eye dominant so I shoot a gun this way well that's because that's the eye I would use to do that and that's the eye that works for me but I could never shoot a gun with my left eye so turning the head to where I only see the ball with my left eye and I swing and I stripe it now it looks freaky right you're looking and saying Tom you got an eye problem whatever it doesn't matter for years I'd struggled with my eye sabotaging my swing there's two very different swings now when I go back to looking at the ball with both eyes I automatically feel like I can't see this club face as well as I do with just my left eye so I feel like I'm seeing two Club faces either it's going straight or it's going right so then I swing now same golfer here just a different eye being in play I'm not sure if that swing looks different but I certainly feel different I feel an urge with both eyes I feel the urge to go more out this way for me to get the club going towards the target I've got to swim more across the ball I don't like the feeling but it's the feeling I gotta have so all of a sudden there's a good golf swing with my non-dominant eye and there's a questionable one with my dominant eye now what does this mean for you it's something to think about because it's never talked about I've seen a couple articles online they say you know eye dominance but they don't talk about what it does and if you're somebody who has a dominant eye and it's on the non-target side like me if you're right-handed and your right eye is dominant this could be sabotaging your golf swing it could be why you're slicing the ball it could be why you're struggling with your swing because the moment I took my my dominant eye out the swing was fine but the moment I introduced it again the swing got crazy or at least it felt like it was out of control I couldn't see the club as well so think about taking out your dominant eye with a little head tilt just seeing it out of your left eye your lead eye the target side eye and Swinging it's going to feel weird but this could be the swing that you need to get cross-eye dominant like the pros because if 95 of them are cross-eyed dominant they're seeing things that people like me are not seeing I'm seeing two Club faces I'm seeing two golf swings here to eliminate the problem of having two golf swings I take out the dominant eye and the ball just flies beautifully so siguro golfers that's something to think about moving forward a little bit more psychological today if you're looking for a way to play best golf in your life check out my online golf school seguto.golf it's a complete golf swing training
