3 steps are
1: KNUCKLE FLOW/ STEERING WHEEL (for me the tennis racket)
2: Baton Twirl drill (continous)
3: STEP IN THEN STEP OUT DRILLS for IN LINE foot pressures

Thanks for watching! - Sport
Thank you Martin and Brandon for these great videos. I am 66 and have not broke 80 for two years. Shot an easy 75 yesterday incorporating Martin’s principles.
Thanks great to hear
Really struggled with the earlier videos and was thinking about getting psychiatric help.
However towards the end of THIS video it occurred to me that if I move my spine/body fractionally towards the target immediately before moving the clubhead back (Versus moving body behind the ball to initiate motion) then I may be on the right track; have never thought of the swing like this and initial results look encouraging.
This may be very helpful. Only time will tell ...............
thanks Martin and Brandon
When I first saw Martin do the wheel drill with J.H., I was struck by how much he resembled Fred Couples' backswing. (I thought the same when I first saw Leadbetter's A-swing, but Martin's is a gazillion times closer.)
The baton twirl drill is much more familiar. As I mentioned on another video, I've seen a bunch of videos of Mike Malaska, among others, doing that drill. Martin's additional comments, especially regarding how the baton drill teaches us timing, were more insightful than most.
Honestly? I'd probably skip the last drill because I'm too lazy.😎
As always, Brendon, you've done a fantastic and selfless job of shedding very detailed light into a particularly interesting approach. Thanks.🙏🏻
Love these videos! I just started using what I would call a forward impact press to start my swing. It's snow balling into what Martin is talking about. If I want a low cut my swing starts with a low cut forward press and my take away is set the club automatically starts out to the outside and steep. Opposite for a high draw. After watching these videos I'm excited to hit the range. Bryson Dechambeau in a video describes how to get more club head speed. He said don't swing fast put more force into the club. All I know is when the club feels extremely heavy in the first part of the take away and then becomes extremely light and through impact it feels like its pushing back into me as it releases I absolutely bomb it! I'm going to continue what I would call a forward press to impact followed by a firm flick to take the club back that matches the shot I want to hit that should be matched up with the forward press with the goal of applying the most effort in the first 24" the club head moves making in feel light and then wait as long as I can to follow the club through impact.
Thanks For the Awesome videos!
Thanks for WATCHING. @martinayersgolf reads every comment so post your questions below!
what does he think of bobby jones swing?
@@synchronic_ he mentioned it the other day as far as Bobby Jones and some of the older players were absolute masters of starting the golf swing. what they used to call Buggywhip motion in that early part of the swing I think something that came about to work with the Hickory EQUIPMENT
Ok. I was maybe a little too quick to dismiss this. The tumble drill is literally Jedi mind trick level stuff!
this is absolute gold! i never noticed rory stabilizing the clubhead before taking it back this makes so much freaking sense its crazy how eager i am to go to the range. im an athletic person and thats exactly how i feel(if i truly break down other sports movements). like the sequence make so much sense now.
He never loses that stability , he just lets the stable club fly
@@MartinAyersGolf i never thought about it that way, makes a lot of more sense than trying to manipulate the face during the swing.
@@adl9705 yeah, you don’t have time to manipulate the face in the swing.
“Square it up”.
That would be like looking at the hood of your car on the freeway.
Ben Hogan said “trying to control the face at impact is folly”.
@@MartinAyersGolf Martin, went to hit some balls with the face a little opened at address and right before taking it back i set it(close it a little) and damn that ball goes super straight. i was thinking if rory likes it closed so he doesnt swing right i can have it opened as long as the ball goes to my target. a lot easier to swing and more distance, you are a genius man thank you so much.
@@adl9705 What an interesting routine.
Martin and Brandon. Been playing less than two years. Started golf in my 40s. I never had a lesson. I am now smashing the crap out of the ball!
Boom 💥
@@MartinAyersGolf Thank you so much. I do appreciate everything. It is so weird when it works and I can't really explain what happens other than the sound of the club exploding the ball where I was aiming. I think the explaining it is the hardest part about it and at least with me, you succeeded in that. Thank you.
What direction?
@@MartinAyersGolfyoure on the goldy!? Where abouts are you coaching from?
@@MartinAyersGolfany upcoming clinics on the GC? Would be keen to attend.
Hello and thx for this. Just to say JH from 1atomic did a vid on m ayers about 7 yrs ago. Titled 'twirl and dump'. Helped me a lot. Ayers method quite tricky to understand initially but the best. Stay with it. Once u get it it is easy, consistent and really powerful.
For Me, I pretend that I'm playing a moving ball sport. (simple, get on the balls time) Just a Martin says that the Club has Energy, I feel that the Ball also has energy. (certainly when compressed) If I were to Field an incoming ball from my Left, what would I do? I would Pressure my Left Side in order to face the Ball and then I would absorb the Incoming balls energy up my Right Side. You do this with as little movement but a much Pressure as you can Balance the entire system. As Pressure shifts to the Right Heel the Club is Hurled into Motion. Because I have already fielded the Ball on my Left I know where to return the Club. Just a Feel for Me!
I have to feel my lead leg pushing backwards in the same direction as I initiated the club (ball, steering wheel, weight) to start the swing in order to feel that step out towards the ball feel with the trail leg in the downswing. Happens as soon as the club reverses itself, and the little sit feeling is over. Jives with the right side (trail side for me) reaching towards the ball in the swimming motion I’ve seen Martin do. This was a hard concept for me to learn as I had been jumping to my lead leg my entire life to begin the downswing. There’s a moment where both legs are pushing in opposition, lead leg pushing down the line of swing initiation to say 4:30 on a clock face and trail leg pushing towards 10:30, and then the lead leg takes over with that same push as the club moves towards and through the hitting area to keep my place before I finally let the club win and pull me out of the ground to finish.
Great insight with the step out drill !
I will definitly work on that in collective lessons 💪🙏
I tried the stepping towards the ball concept today with a 9 iron and the swing power is kind of terrifying. I can understand what he’s saying with energizing the club and the club turning you into a monster. Didn’t worry about direction or anything else but was hitting the ball pretty in the middle of the face with every swing. It felt like the club was trying to pull out of my hands it was pulling so hard through impact but my hips cleared automatically with no shifting. I’m not sure if I was doing this right, but it felt like you could do it with a super fast swing with even tempo sort of like John Rahm or with a 3:1 type tempo. It didn’t feel relaxed though just super powerful and strong through whole body.
You did it properly, the reason I know is that your movement is direct. The club MUST WORK AS AN ARC around that direction action. This way your resistance to the swing doesn’t slow it down, it FEEDS it. 👊🏻
Well done.
@@MartinAyersGolf can report no back pain at all the next day so it was easy on the joints and gives the muscles a workout which is great!! I was worried about that at first because of how much power flows through your body, must be flowing through muscles as it should be. Thank you for putting this out there!!! Excited to spend some time at the range again!
@@sammarcotte3056 💥👍🏻
It would be good to see how average golfers apply this to playing on the golf course… Personally I find this pretty hard to understand…
I can't believe I'm starting to get this! Brendon, you stated it well when you said some viewers seem to accept this and get it and others are saying what are you talking about? I think the light bulb moment for me is when I was practicing and simply grabbed my wedge and using simple movement of my feet, legs and hips to move my arms and the club back and forth creating smooth momentum. That will be my waggle from now on. A 1/4 to 1/2 swing starting forward then back. I've found great rhythm doing that.
Well said! Thanks!
Always top level content .........Thx
Thank you too!
Really enjoying this series. Sub-ed
I think the information, as presented now, seems much more understandable than it was when the Secret in the Dirt stuff came out.
I’ve been working on it for a long time , thanks .
@@MartinAyersGolf Is Mike Maves still around?
Brendon and Martin...Good stuff that is freeing my mind a little as far how one should think about using this instrument to its fullest potential.
I have always thought that juniors (5-8 yr/olds) back in the day using dad's heavy cut-down irons were reacting to the weight of the club and ingraining a lifelong proper swing.
They then graduated to the lighter modern clubs and, if lucky, kept those same feels for a proper golf swing...and why adults taking up golf can move the club in all kinds of directions and feels
due to their strength.
Would a practice 9 iron really weighted up with lead tape and using your drills help the feel we are after faster or am I off base? Thanks.
It would work in the sense that it would make that heavy club feel lighter except for that “one time” in delivery where you would feel the full force of it pull you out of the ground.
If you tried the same club with your normal swing you would likely notice that it’s heft would get big far earlier than that, if not right away.
"the golf illusion" is still a great method for a video! please explore, simple, effective
@martinayersgolf Very interesting, do have any instructors in Northern CA (San Jose CA) that are versed in your teachings?
At 13:40 is he talking about corkscrewing the feet towards the target as a primer? If so, does the pressure of the feet opening towards the target felt in the whole body, up into the shoulders?
It loooks like there still lateral movement but it’s just minuscule. Is that the case?
The knuckle flow stuff really resonates. The baton drill and step drill, for me, is not quite connecting yet. However, the knuckle flow does promote a smooth one motion swing which is very freeing
The knuckle flow is positions. the baton is club reaction force and the step drill is ground reaction force. The force is invisible but just as real and important as the positions. try to increase your awareness of the forces that are in the club during the swing and how they are trying to move you.
As a self taught 4 hcp the only bit of the video i disagree with is the Baton drill as it seems you are letting the already heavy clubhead dominate and try and respond to it But instead i would teach a 2 handed twirl drill with a tennis racquet as its a lot lighter
Agree and get the step and move away from the club/ball drills,always trying to do that but most will struggle as they fear missing or bad contact with the ball as they Never do Golf Related Hand Eye Skill Drills
Every Good Golfer that Ever Lived can Bounce a Ball on a Wedge! I Bet the Pro and Div 1 players at your club can but most golfers cant and never work on it,took me 6 weeks as a hacker to do it now im div1!
Radius---
If the ball is the center of a clock...12 is out in front.
6 is behind you.
The body turns towards 3.... like a figure skater spinning in circles...
Downswing----The leff side does a full stretch from the ground up through the body while rotating in reverse towards the 6.
Damn I know there is something that happens when I strike the ball well. But trying to reproduce that trigger or motion only make for poor mechanics. For me. I think Martin is correct he can’t tell you what or how much. It’s a feeling and different for everyone. Great video but I wish I could find a swing coach who understands this.
HOW ABOUT A NEW LOOK AT MICKEY WRIGHT'S PRE-SHOT FLOW THRU THE SWING??
I really want to get this but I can’t do it)
How goes the progress? Waiting for Martin to come to USA?
Really felt the club dropping behind me. Kind of just falls.
Yes. It has nowhere else to go…unless you force it somewhere else before it has that chance.
Is this similar to the way Henrik Stenson pressures the club on his takeaway? Why is Matthew Wolf, often injured and not winning the only PGA pro following this method. Very hard for the average golfer to understand. I have always felt if teaching pros taught sex education we would be at zero population growth. Jackie Burke said it is not that hard!
Henrik Stenson is a great example. He does it so deliberately that you can see it.
Matthew Wolff, he’s an outlier in the extreme edge of the spectrum. But neither is he following this method or is he the only one that this method pertains to. Rahm is almost a poster child for these concepts and his swing looks nothing like Matt Wolff.
@@MartinAyersGolf thanks Martin...Rahm like you has the legs of fullback. I was in an Inn n Out in Scottsdale one night and Freddy Couples walked in wearing shorts. I could not believe the size and power of his legs. The ground up is the key to all great athletes. I appreciate your passion. Thanks for sharing your years of study. Come visit us in US before we fall to tyranny.
@@rickellwood6329 If they don’t close the border on me here in Aus, I’ll come see you 👍🏻
Is it possible to describe how the club is pressured? If so, how? Referencing “drag”, in line w(thumbs drill, commentary on Rory McIllrory driving swings, etc.
The next chat with Brendon I will address this often asked question. Short answer… it’s individual, but the arms and legs need to remain aligned for balance and power…
Somewhere between Rahm and Wolff is fine.
Rahm pressures handle BIG time, Wolff pressures head BIG TIME
@@MartinAyersGolf lets do it
I really don't see the differences between "normal" instruction and this here... While something like a trigger motion isn't the most prominent or popular topic, it is out there and you can find content about the topic. Especially since guys like Wolff, Berkshire and Borgmeier became more visible - who have very accentuated trigger motions. I mean, this seems to work for some people, I wonder how much of that effect is down to people "just" not having any lasting effect with traditional instruction (for whatever reason) and therefor respond well to that more "free" and "smokey" type of instruction approach. I think, this to a degree is also to be found in for example Shawn Clements approach or the one from GRF golf. Don't get me wrong, this shouldn't be seen as some sort of criticism, the more different approaches to explaining golf there are, the more people have to choose from and then maybe to succeed in it. I just think, the landscape would be less confrontational when groups don't start discussing whats the best or worst.
Do you feel like, with the opposing forces at play, that the hands and club head end up tracing a relatively straight line? Particularly at pace.
Arced
Just let you know the audio is out of sync but a few seconds
My bad sorry about that
For some reason it feels like after the club drops behind me on the way back up it’s excellerating back up or at the ball but feels up. I’m just concentrating on not adding anything like Martin says. I know one thing after doing all of this I will never swing another way.
I mean damn Martin why didn’t you give this to us a long time ago. You had me talking on a phone for 10 years. Fist of fury blah.
Watching sevam1 hitting it to an imaginary boat in the distance, talking about supination and pronation all the while trying to dodge Lassie who keeps jumping in front of him as he is about to hit didn’t help either!!!!!
@@lancejordan6953That’s on him 😂
Saying something in a simple way is not how Martin Ayres speaks.
He starts explaining once he has mentally derailed and the nearby towns have been evacuated.
If you want tips I’ll give you one. Drink a cup of cement and harden the #%*^ up.👍🏻
@@MartinAyersGolf I accept your rebuttal.
Hours of free instruction and this is your criticism ? Jesus Christ man 😂🙈
@@jpkeating8059 Hang on go to "Martin Ayres Golf Again" and have a listen to 100 minutes of Martin talking before his student 'JH' hits a ball. Go and listen to him and then come back, without a professional linguist on hand nothing is said and all is lost.
I personally think this is great stuff and after decades actually got me ‘swinging’ the club again. I still miss shots obviously but I don’t do mechanics anymore which helps a lot. Do you still do lessons in person/online and if yes where do I go to get one?
big fan brendon but i just don't get this . ill try again
it's not super obvious, takes some exploration.
I think the look on the face of Lee Deitrick says it all. Fortunately for Lee and myself, we completely understand that the now believe premise that ONLY those amateur golfers who can really “leave all of their conventional swing thought behind” can ultimately GRASP what Martin Ayres is presenting……is 100% complete BULLSHIT! I’m with you Lee! Bullshit is, and always will be, nothing but Bullshit.
It's not BS. What he is describing is how the best players in the world strike the ball......past, present, and future......he is trying to put into words what those players feel intuitively that is coming from their inherent athletic ability. So. trying to convey to people who are perhaps NOT inherently gifted with innate athletic abilities how to feel what the greatest players past, present, and future.....feel, felt, and do instinctively to strike the ball with fluidity, freedom, and the use of physics, and the laws of motion.
@@johndouglaspatterson3151 ……. I stand behind every word I said about this primer conman Martin Ayres.
You say: “So. trying to convey to people who are perhaps NOT inherently gifted with innate athletic abilities…” Your premise is completely wrong. Which is proof positive that you yourself don’t have the slightest idea as how to produce ACCELERATION in your own golf swing, let alone others. Go to an LPGA event and explain to me how “…perhaps NOT inherently gifted with innate athletic abilities…” translates into all of those Asian girls playing fabulous golf? Martin Ayres has no idea whatsoever as how to produce ACCELERATION nor teach it, but obviously others do. Take your “mystical” Martin Ayres bullshit and take a hike you fool. Martin Ayres is nothing but a conman, and people like Mike Maves, who actually know Martin Ayres, will tell you the same.
@@johndouglaspatterson3151 that is a fairly decent attempt at writing the way Martin talks. Can nobody write or speak with clarity? Why is everyone trying to be Thomas Pynchon?
Always stop stopping
Always keep stopping. *fixed it
Hack science
Ignorant troll
I've never heard someone talk so much kaka
This utterly terrible. Baton and stepping drills are not rocket science, just shows someone totally fails at communicating and teaching. Go to Malaska golf and you find everything in clear and concise manner. This is just terrible.
