What size grip do you use?

This seems to partially contradict your other videos where you mention to shift your left hip and left shoulder forward (righty player) How can you shift your body forward without having to lose connection to the wall you're mentioning?

That three finger drill is brilliant guys. I just practiced it a bunch and filmed it in slo-mo, and sure enough..perfect lag and shaft lean without trying to create or manufacture anything. I expanded the drill a bit by doing it with three fingers, then adding a fourth finger from each hand and trying to recreate the same feel, then fifth finger etc. Then I filmed that and analyzed it, seeing if I reach the same positions with each added finger. What a great drill! It's a shame so many golf pros lead students down a bad rabbit-hole of hold this and pre-set that. Good lag and shaft lean is the natural consequence of a good fundamental swing.

Did this in a simulator and was shocked with the result. I’m 64 with a bad back. I hit a driver that carried 273 when my typical was 230-240 carry. I will definitely keep working on this.

Excellent

I disagree with this. Nobody grips the club differently each time they hold it. They will always grip it the same way unless they practice hard for years to make a change.

That is mindblowing, I would have never thought about like this!

I just did about 2000 reps of this yesterday, I love this drill, you also feel your hands drop in the slot, that’s about the only control I needed to do to get a good flush

@athelticMotionGolf ive just watched the short video you put up that led me to finding the full video At 07:00 in the video you explain richard side bends 39 degrees, but does it in different ways I am right in thinking we should be trying to side bend by trting best to keep the spine straigt ans tiliting the pelvis Im currentky like richard, in terms of getting lost in youtube videos but im sticking with your channel due to evdience based movements

1st one JT??

Hi. Can you do a video on how the right arm works specifically post take away because I have a flying elbow which makes my club go across the line. Ive tried everything. But cannot get this right. PLEASE.

Awesome explanation. This cleared up several things.

I did the same thing. Perfect distance control and dead straight. Now, I'm 10 yds longer but all left shots

This system is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced! Even with the objective data you receive your mind will not believe it. But once you commit to the changes you will never look at golf the same! Chess vs checkers! Thank you!!

Is this from a longer video in which you show how, if I'm not mistaken, Mike ended up with screws in his lower back? That video was an eye-opener for me. Forget trying to get into those Gumby-style side bends.

“…unfortunately, Richard was a lost cause and we couldn’t do anything for him. The end.”

Whats with the spam comments

Thanks for saving my back and fixing my swing in one video that I didn’t know I needed! Keeping your spine in the box created at setup during your swing was a massive lightbulb moment for me, so simple yet no more early extension and sore back trying to push off the ground and rotate my hips which always felt wrong for me now it’s doing it by itself and looking much healthier. Will never listen to anyone harp on about what the spine is meant to do in the golf swing again you guys have covered it all where it makes perfect sense. Thank you so much

This is pretty cool stuff

Great info. Thanks

Hi guys great video. Is it possible to pair this with a lead heel lift and stomp down? After the trail heel is down.

Both forearms rotate internally, i.e. they pronate, in the backswing and do the opposite in the downswing.

Lovely stuff guys!!!

Does this allow for the bottom-line effect of allowing the clubhead to be swung/thrown? The player is now able to feel both the clubhead and the face. the weight at the end of the shaft and the speed of the clubhead. The clubhead moves faster; feels faster. At the end of the downswing, the body is moving in response to the clubhead/weight on the end of the club and carries the player into the finish. This seems similar to throwing a baseball/football; instincts will do it without having to think about 15 different things. It’s like developing the feel of casting a sinker on the end of a fishing rod; flow, not hit. The weight of the clubhead pulls the player into the finish!

Your older driver swing arm depth video shows otherwise.

You have a newer video where you state that the hands never move past the shoulder.

That’s what I used and it works like a charm, the ball goes straight to where I aim.

Does this promote a sway?

P2 grips do a great job of solving this problem. Check them out.

Moral of the story: Don’t max out your side bend or you’ll blow out your back.

Man, you got that right elbow way behind you. I just washed your video yesterday where you said to never do that.

The ball position being at the left pec, is that for all golf clubs, including the driver?

really liked your video! I have been ill and am 81 but hope to start playing again and trying to find some of the speed I have lost😊

Wish I could work with you guys in person. My golf swing is so screwed up I'm about to the put the clubs up for sale. My right elbow gets way too far behind me and I have also been working on trying to lead with my hips and end up feeling even more stuck.

EXCELLENT LESSON!!!!!!!!!!! It fixed my pull shots, thank you SO MUCH GUYS!!!!

I putt with my heel down, always have done. I’m a 3.4 h’cap index and putting is the strongest part of my game. There is no right or wrong way to putt period! It’s what works for you.

Hi do you do this for driver swing aswell? As in theory we need to have 60% of the weight at the address for driver swing... Thank you

Huge tip!

Finally. I looked in mirror and noticed I am wrenching forward toward targetline in transition. Address my butt was back and shins fairly vertical. I turn back and lead shin angles forward. Then transition my trail shin now angles forward. Trouble is, that has moved my pelvis forward a few inches! Proper setup with hips over ankles and shins angled forward has eliminated this wrenching forward…early extension. Thanks again!

It’s uncanny how similar my current swing issues are to her original swing! And I’m struggling with big hooks and toe shots with irons! But I hit my driver very well! Can you elaborate on the forearm feeling you gave her to help bring the takeaway less inside and across the line please?

This is a load of bally boll*cks!!!! You can't get there by pulling !!!! You can't get there by pushing!!!! You can only get there by throwing !!!! Swing the whole club to P2 using the pivot ie feel like you are throwing the mass of the body. Let the clubhead release to P5. Stop. Let the club go by relaxing the grip. It's just like throwing a Ball folks. The arms are switched off and only respond , to the pull of gravity, which will bring your arms and clubhead through. This is something that AMG, With all their sofisticated data analysis , can't pick up on camera. The secret of golf, is all about the moves, reactions, and results, that we can't so easily perceive 😊

I think your video will help tremendously

If you’re super coordinated but don’t know this move you’ll end up laying the club way flat to compensate, then you’ll suffer a massive hook as you early extend. It’s really fun.

That's not nice. Calling the fans knuckleheads

Are you saying not to accelerate through the ball? I'm confused...

Great video. Gotta let the arms fall, from behind you. Not wipe them across the front of your body.

Waaaaay too much info. You’re giving people sooo many swing thoughts. 👎👎👎👎👎

Bad short.

Wow that was the best explanation I have ever heard in forward shaft lean and how to get there
