The golf move I've found is my biggest downfall is when I take my bag out of the trunk and put it in a golf cart,all downhill from there.

Put a long sleeve shirt on, or a jacket, but leave your arms out of the sleeves. Put your arms across your chest, inside the jacket. Now, simulate a golf swing. The only way to sling those empty sleeves through, to a full finish, is to do what he’s describing in this video. You’ll notice that the sleeves lag behind, but go through with tons of speed. THIS is the “feeling” that he’s describing! Now, hit a ball with this feeling. The actual “hit” will feel delayed, just as he said, but the speed will feel effortless. You’ll also not even feel your divot, because the club is now accelerating through the hitting area, as it should. This is the same “sequencing” that pitchers use. They step towards the plate first, then turn the hips, then the torso, and chest, then the arm lags behind, and lastly the wrist releases. You can pretty much use any sport as an example, where speed, and power is needed. Throwing a football, hitting a forehand, hitting a baseball, etc. Golfers are afraid to be athletic, because the ball, and club face leave very little room for error. You have to get out of that, and learn to trust yourself.
After 50 years of theoretical & practical study of the golf swing & observing the teaching methods & reading the books of all of the great instructors, I rate this demonstration/explanation as the best ever analysis of the fundamental motions of the golf swing. This simplification/demonstration of proper golf swing body movement is definitely an “AH HA” golden nougat for every beginning golfer, and should accelerate the development of a better golf swing for every golfer. Thanks for making golf more fun.
@johngolden8549, "after 50 years of theoretical and & practical study...," you probably should have already known this! (I'm kidding 😀)
This is indeed a golden nugget! Thank you for sharing as always ❤ all your videos!
Amazing! Many thanks for this incredibly simple and clear explanation. MUCH appreciated.
Class! Love it. So simple. Thanks.
Very simple explanation and demonstration. Took it to the course and it worked a treat. Cheers.
Thank you. Really helps with understanding the importance of body on motion. Ta, mate.
This is very helpful. The look of being bent over sideways coming through the ball is what I see all the pros doing but could never figure it out.
Interesting and thanks, got to be hard coming up with new concepts and ideas that illuminate the golf swing each week.
Steve, I just got back from holiday and I have been keen to try your light bulb moment. Trying to get hips correct and not early release plus always being a sweeper your thought of being in a side on position was magic. I certainly need more work at it but everything seems to get into position without even thinking about it. To also hit ball turf was a bonus. Probably the BEST tip I have not only got from CZcams but from the many coaches I have seen over many years. A big thanks !!
That was a lightbulb moment for me. Thanks!
Superb stuff again SP!!
Wow. I am a chronic hip staller but also lucky enough to have a nice indoor sim setup with cameras. I’ve never had a teacher explain this the way you just did. I walked out to the golf sim this evening and tried a few swings and *immediately* saw a difference on camera with how open my hips were at impact. Goat hump was gone. Thank you!
Goat hump? Okay, that's a new one! What is it?
@@JeffJefferyUK Early extension. Pelvis going toward the ball, on the downswing.
To fix hip stall, do chops with the cable machine at your gym. If you're materially wealthy, you can install a $2,000 Keiser Performance Trainer cable machine in your man cave but it requires an air compressor as it's air pressure resistance cable machine. It saves a ton of space, though.
Great concept...i hv seen hundreds of videos but this is simplest to understand.
Great video! New sub! My AHA moment in your video was when you said "swing from the side of your body" YES!!! That makes so much sense and greatly improves your turn! Thank you!
Had to be more to it, I am a terrible over the top swinger. First part of the demo scares me when I saw your right shoulder. Later in he video I saw your side bend so I will add that and see what happens.
Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to trying this method.
Great and simple demo, Steve. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Great demonstration! I've been struggling with my irons lately. Can't wait to put this to practice. Thanks!
One of the best and simplest golf lessons I have ever seen that finally makes sense of the swing. Great stuff!

This concept works. Great insight. Eliminates the last split second casting to accommodate timing issues. Great video Steve.
Excellent explanation of the power of the body in correct motion. Touches on a lot of concepts including side bend, shoulder and hip movement, weight shift without having to get lost in a flood of swing mechanics/thoughts. Fantastic video. Thanks Steve!!
Wow, i just had the lightbulb moment! So simple and clear, I've never seen this before but really clarifying and helpful.
Eureka!! Thank you for this wonderful explanation, as I have really struggled to get 'open'. Been to the range and it's made such a difference. Will check out all your other videos too.
You are a VERY Smart golfing instructor,,,,Thank you so much,,, you just fixed my deep divots Sir,,,,,
Awesome videos and instruction Steve. I have added so many yards following your suggestions ! Thankyou for your time and knowledge ! Over 10 yards for most irons or more, and over 30 to 40 yards for the driver. Example, 7 iron from 140 to 150 plus, driver 230 to 260 plus. Will be 71 yrs old this May, but still strong for my age. Former football player but still in the gym pumping that iron!
Great to hear!
260, or even 230, is impressive for a 70 year old. Everything I've read on the internet says the average drive for 70 year olds is under 200 yards.
This driving range looks awesome!
Golf Devlopment Complex, Moorpark CA. Plenty of targets. Practice bunker areas as well as chipping & putting
It really does.
Most of the ones i have visited in the uk look like a muddy field with a couple of old tyres and posts in lol would love to have a go on this one !
Wow this really is a great base to build from. I have always had best contact when I thought about leaving my hands back. This absolutely is the aha I needed. I’m going to work this relentlessly to ingrain in into my brain !! Thank you !!!
Simple but very effective way of showing us amateurs what we are all trying to achieve 🎉
Great explanation!
This is a great way to describe it. Thanks.
WOW! Just WOW! This is by far the best explanation of the golf swing. LIGHT BLUB!💡
Caught my eye & subscribe instantly. Thanks for an enjoyable vid my guy!
Great video and tremendous insight and detail. And your delivery is spot on. I quickly hit the subscribe button. Looking forward to more content.
Thanks for watching!
great advise. can't wait to try it out
This is HUGE. thank you!
Such a great lesson, Steve. Thanks! You Rock!
Can you imagine some people don't get that this is a drill and a feel for those who under rotate and get armsy?
Way to go, Steve I’m gonna give it a try. I’ve been working on a few things similar to that with tucking in my right elbow closer to my side thanks again for posting this video. I think it will help me and many others. We appreciate you. Thanks again love, Papa Duke.
Wow!! The lightbulb just came on! A new practice drill to incorporate into my routine! Thanks 👍
Perfect!
This is the most beautiful range I've ever seen. What an amazing playground/practice space. I'll be taking your lesson here to my much less picturesque or functional local range. Cheers
This is great instruction, especially for feel players. New sub!
One of the best videos yet- a classic- that is how golf should be taught from the outset not the BS we get instead. Want to get open while maintaining forward bow (flexion of spine) to get into position to impact the ball.
Thank you for the reminder, I literally wrote myself a note when I hit the best was remembering this keeping body and arms together, and I just walked outside and hit some golf balls, and poof. I was hitting straight again. This is why I write myself notes when I hit great I forget the little things.
Holy smokes. The lightbulb really did go off. Thank you for explaining and showing this move in great detail!
I liked this. Thanks for the tip.
Beautiful way in the way you describe the feeling of the arm position. I am going to go try that now
I absolutely love this
Very good - Thank you Steve
Thank you very much...this is a real enlightening
This is genius! Thanks bro
Brilliant many thanks can't wait to try(emphasis on try)Like a dance move and i'm rubbish at that as well.
Great to watch...Thanks, from Neil in England
Gonna definitely try this next time on the range.
Great teaching. Thanks
Right on…. As a former PGA member and teacher this is the simplest explanation of how to generate power and control your low point that I have watched or read. Those looking to improve would be well advised to try this. It’s the foundation of good impact.
As if the fact you were a PGA member means anything.
@giii7599 you sound like a bundle of fun.
@@richardbell9656 What did I say that annoyed you? Let me say it again. The fact that the guy is a PGA member means absolutely nothing. Just another guy that likes to float their job title.
@@giii7599 ok,I'll get my coat on the way out the door. Meanwhile, you go and have a lie down in a darkened room.
Good tip- Thanks
This light bulb moment just made my golf so much simpler..my strikes are suddenly so much more crisp and solid.. brilliant 👍
Thank you 👍🏼⛳️
Thanks for the video, that is the piece I was looking to understand my puzzle, my coach keep telling me don't think on the arms or elbows or hand just swing, but i keep early extending, and I was thinking i need to delay the hit, when i see your video everything accommodate, thanks a lot, I you offer lessons I will contact you, again thanks a lot
Amazing …..thank you Steve…..I’m a fan of your channel now😊
Awesome, thank you!
It took me forever to go back and find this video, which I first watched a few months ago. I needed to download it, and also thank you for it.
I’m a 70 y/o beginner, and it turns out to truly be a lightbulb moment. I went from not bothering to keep score to trying to break 90. You have NO IDEA how much it means to me to really understand exactly what I need to work on, and what I need to feel.
Excellent! 👍👍
Lightbulb moment indeed. I need to see you in person!
Email me at Steve@hititlonger.com.
Great lesson.
Force = Mass x Acceleration.
I need speed, body movement and club head timing and positioning.
Back to the range.😀
If this works for me? This was definitely a lights on moment? Great video, for me one of the best. Subscribed
Fantastic timing Steve. I at times have a good body rotation with poor release and just the opposite at other times good release and poor body rotation. I say body rotation as my coach has so often pointed out the whole body needs to work in sync. Thanks.
" everything is working as a unit except the hands working independently to catch up to the arm shaft line at impact "
Just came from the range where i tried out this idea. I hit the straightest iron shots of my 8 yr golfing career. Loved that. However, my 8i only goes 140 yrds now, whereas i've been hitting it 150-160. I'll try a few tweaks to get the power back but this idea is a great baseline i can always fall back on.
Thank you, Steve!
Brilliant.
After back issues I have developed a hook. Just starting to realize Im not rotating enough in a sub conscious effort to protect my back. Your video reinforces the idea for me to rotate much more and earlier and try to get front on at impact. Thank You
Make sure you have foot right foot and knee motion to allow the lower spine to keep up and keep stress low.
your demonstrations are so clear and understandable, and they really work on me, but sadly I too often do not follow them.
Love it!
Excellent video, subscribed. I use the exact same swing thought. When I started doing this my scores went from 100s to low 90s and sometimes 80s. I would like to see what can be done to tighten up dispersion (improve accuracy) as a follow on to this video. I am either pushing or hooking and it hitting too few GIR.
Great drill.
Hello. Having a hart time in all those things!... Working on this concept - able to do it (I think...) with irons (sometimes!...). When I do, it's the best shots ever! But, very much in trouble with the Driver! Thanks.
thank you
Gonna try this at the range
crazy, this works off another concept to add. If you stick out your arm like you said and slap with it but rotate it 90 degrees up, its EVEN better. you can feel elbow close to the body and get the right plane
Great video
Knowing where the low point in your swing is, is key. The problem is for amateurs is it changes from swing to swing
I have found a similar technique through using a "chuck-it" to throw a tennis ball to my dog. If I keep my arm connected to the body turn, I can really heave it. If I do arms only, it won't get half as far.
I had it almost a year ago now, finally, and things just get better. I hope everyone has it happen before the last round-up.
Love this
AHA! Lightbulb! Very nicely done. Subscribed!
Awesome! Thank you!
wow! For someone that goes hot and cold with my irons due to using my arms and not rotating, this is the best thing I could have started my day with! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Steve, how soon should shoulders start to open on downswing. Jack said the best tip he was ever given was to keep his back facing target as long as possible.
Tried it. Omg. It took years to get left shoulder on plane under chin. Struggled with th down swing. I think this could help get the feel i am struggling to get. Thx
Subbed for this video 👍
Thanks for subbing
Great video? How much should your shoulders be open at impact?
I’ll be famed. Aha by god aha!!! I’m 71 and on the range with your handshake tip. Aha. I’ve never hit so easily and no fat shots. Aha. Thank you. S. Jones
It’s a good tip
Another great representation of the golf swing I only question is, can you do the same thing with a driver as you can with an iron?
Yes!
Cant wait for tomorrow....again.
I always think of the mid section as the golf club face. When I get opened low and left.. the ball is some of the best push draws I ever hit
Can you elaborate on this. Is sounds like a repeatable big muscle move. So do you pretend to have your core inline with the target at impact which wouldn't seem right as you see the pros with their chest being held back and lower body rotating
@@thefishnmusician9667 just think about your middle being the turner. And that is also when you turn on the speed. You drop the club shaft to the right of you mid section high in transition. Your back and body are still closed off .. than you hit and turn with all you got. Feels like a very late hit .. but it’s not
@@ayotollaofrockandrolla7219 interesting. I have been told I am an upper core player so thinking the mid section will be a change to contend with
I just had a lesson on this exact technique. I immediately began to hit my 6 iron in the high 180-yard range, which was about 10 yards farther than normal. However, when turning my hips on the downswing, I had a hard time keeping my eyes over the ball. They wanted to turn as well and I was hitting the ball (somewhat fairly well though) with my eyes already looking down the fairway. I would assume it's important to keep your eyes/head over the ball while turning your hips though? Any tips or suggestions on that?
The feeling of looking down the fairway early is not a bad one.
Steve, Well tried this on the course today without going to the range first. I swung about 80% and was more accurate than i ever was and getting solid compression right off the first tee. With the driver on the downswing 1) pressure to the lead foot keeping hands back then turning the shoulder and being conscious of the side of the body inline with the arms at impact. I feel less effort, my lower back feels fine and it requires no small manipulation moves and these are big muscle moves for improved consistency. The difference i found between irons, hybrids and fairway woods compared with driver is my trail hand pushing through impact is delayed while keeping my hands inline with the "side" of my trail leg/body. With all other clubs i found when i tried to delay the hands at the side of my body I pulled my shots so I focused on turning lead hip and pushing with trail hand sooner in the downswing only and my strikes were straight and solid. Steve do you find your students pull shots with irons and fairway woods when trying to mimic what you do with driver?
Terrific. Glad this feel worked for you!
@@Inmotion70 any comments on pulling irons trying to line arms with side of body?
Man I love all those targets on this range
That’s what I’ve been fixated on during this entire video. That would be super helpful.
Me too. Where is this range?
Don't think that there is a better light bulb moment that "where to have the whoosh sound" but this one is pretty good too!
Thanks for the video, the comment you made about "leaving the club" at the top I assume is a feeling as opposed to reality as it would surely result in the club getting stuck behind and a body stall to allow them to catch up? Cheers
Yeah that's a different issue. As long as my pivot and turn are solid, I want my arms to lag as far behind my chest as possible.
@@Inmotion70 lf the arms lag behind the chest, is the club face not open at impact?
Going to work with this today and see what happens. I swing out to in to much and at impact it is still on an inside tract. I can control it and get about 220 out of it. But I feel I should be at least 250. So I feel my swing is loosing power and maybe this will help. Thanks for the tip.
my lightbulb moment was learning to let gravity control clubhead speed pitches and chips and just bringing club back further for longer shots. Hit 3000 practice chips. The lightbulb part was gravity controlling clubhead speed ensures the clubhead accelerates through the bottom of the swing every single time producing the exact same carry distance every time.
