yea i'm glad i bought one of these monitors for practice as i can now tell if i'm hitting the ball poorly or if its just a slow swing speed in comparison whereas before i wasn't actually sure where i was going wrong. Have only had the swing caddie for 3 weeks and struggled to reach 110mph swing speed at first, now 115mph doesnt even seem all that difficult. Great video
I
Great video
What would happen if he went to a tour length shaft (44 inches). Smash factor go up even swinging at 90% speed?
what driver was he using
You could watch this video for 100 years and still get something new from it every time. Thank you both.
Sharpen up!
One day (15 years ago) I was down the range and I hit it like a GOD for about 30 minutes. Like so pure it was seriously funny. My only swing thought was to swing like a ballerina, to this day I have never been able to recreate how pure I hit the ball that day. This video explains how and why, it is THE video I didn't know I needed to watch. So glad the 20 minutes length time didn't put me off. Pure gold...
This video is absolute Gold. As someone else stated, you can watch this over and over and grab new nuggets and feels.
What Mike teaches from 11:50-14:30 is a perfect explanation. It goes hand in hand with everything I teach as well.
@Golfletics thank you.
Golfletics boy are you right. You know I remember swinging my grass cutter in the yard. And I would stomp on my lead foot, and then swoosh the grass cutter through the grass. It was THE most powerful feeling. Why in the wide, wide world of sports did I ever forget that? This part of the lesson has really opened my mind up again. I tried swinging a short club upside down like I used to do with the grass cutter - magic! Mike's a dang-gum genius!
Absolute revelation for me. been so focused on mechanics of grip, weight transfer, plain, even posture that the sheer simplicity of this lesson is so freeing. the simplest ideas are the best. these guys of Jacks generation really did figure it all out.
Classic. "I gotta go!" Man, Milke Malaska is my hero. He just gets to the point. I love it. I got alot from what he said in this video. If you can't hit it solid with the extra "clubhead speed" it doesn't make sense to try to play from there. Gosh. So glad I fell upon this, now I can dismiss trying to get more when I'm good where I'm at. Booyah!
106mph to 115mph in 10 swings? Impressive! Well done Brendan! Saw Mike a couple of years ago and it improved my swing. He’s definitely the real deal.
Brendon, you need to drop all those other instructors and stick with Mike. This man will get you to the next level. You're filing your head with too much information. Thanks for the introduction to Mike!
Joseph, that's the idea of the channel. He takes a little bit from everyone.
I was stuck on 12 hcp for over 10 years; Malaska got me down to a 5, broke par (-2) in June for the first time. This video is KEY. TY MM!
This clicked for me and I got results pretty fast. I have always seen ball throwing drill but it finally worked for me... now I literally imagine I’m holding a ball in my right hand and throwing it at the ball and my swing pretty naturally falls into place (as long as I have a proper backswing) this stuff is gold. Mike is excellent... I now know what he means when he says Dustin Johnson just tries to flip his wrist when he gets into the hitting zone.
Arguably the best description of ball speed (distance = speed x efficiency) I've ever heard.
i will say this about this video: I have been a plus handicap for 25 years and 'thought' I knew most all there was to know about the golf swing. I have played tournament golf, taught lessons, read books, and practiced day after day for decades. I now realize, I know nothing. This is truly an eye opener and I am soaking up every work Mike says. Thank you for this video and the others. This is absolutely a life changer.
Agreed - just watched this and feel like I've wasted the last 15 years trying to use my lower body to generate speed. Can't wait to try this technique at the range.
Your light bulb moment around 10:32 when he tells you to “just add some body turn” with the alignment stick is pure gold.
Thank you guys, this is the best video about speed, I´ve ever seen.
Enjoying these Malaska video series. Love how Mike rips it with his first swing! And makes it look effortless!
23:39 - priceless. "Alright. I gotta go"
Love this so much! Very clear guidance: Effortless swing + smash factor = ball speed.
This was like a myth buster conversation about swing speed. Excellent information. Can’t wait to experiment with it.
The fact I realised this yesterday when I was playing and now I can confirm it was where I was going wrong is awesome keep up the awesome work!
Lots of fun watching. At first, I was like why does Mike complicate things so much, but the more I listen, the simpler it gets. Thanks to both of you.
You found this complicated at first..?
Some of Mike’s other videos, not this one.
That is so true, "muscle go slower when they are tight". That was my problem, when I think of hitting the ball really hard, I tend to tighten my muscle and the ball won't even pass 150 yards, but when I just relax and hit the ball, it goes will over 200 yards. That is a great tip. Thank You!
Fabulous video, clicked onto it by error, but what an insight of relaxing and creating clubhead speed! Fred couples is a good example! Got it now! Cheers!
I played a lot of golf with a young lady is Florida. She was average in size, height, and build. But she could hit the ball phenomenal distances. She was way longer on drives than any man in the club. Jimmy Ballard thought she was the sixth longest female driver in the world. When I asked how she does that she told me it was TURN SPEED. She also said, "you can't see that". She said Jimmy and I work on my turn speed constantly. You are right. The lateral slide went out with Curtis Strange's back to back U.S. Open wins. I think that too was Ballard's swing. The modern golf swing is body turn. Even Nicklaus said that he would do that starting out today. It is a better and more reliable golf swing. I've done both but the turning swing revived me at an older age. Older people don't lateral slide as well. BTW - She had very well to do parents who funded her lessons. She never did make the tour. Didn't like to practice her short game. I do think she won the Florida Women's Amateur.
lol i wish i had a coach... i never practiced , i never took it seriously because nobody was stern. This coach is exactly what i needed, I was a 6 handicap 5.8 index at 16 years old. Didn’t play during winter or spring ever really, while all the other kids were at the range every day year around. One of the biggest regrets of my life, I was too worried about being “cool” and partying. I could’ve been a scratch golfer easily if I just focused. So for those of you who are young and taking golf seriously and practicing, good for you! For those who are on the fence and just naturally athletic or talented , GO FOR IT , cuz if you don’t you’ll sincerely regret it.
I have taken this into practice for the past 2 weeks and have seen tremendous gains and accuracy. Yesterday I played Chantilly National from the tips (Black tees). For the most part I was out driving or on a few occasions few yards shorter then my friends who were teeing off from the white tees. I am hitting the ball at or near dead center with greater smash factor with less effort. I am even hitting further than when I was teeing off from the blue tees. For the first time my swing feels free of tension or strain and now have a better release. Best thing for me is that I no longer have soreness in my arms, shoulders or back the next day. Club head driver speed when from 108 to 117..avg is about 114. The worst thing now is the recalibration of my iron distances...im hitting them further too.
Its simple try it and FREE YOUR SWING!!!
I watched this video 1 year ago and I did not get at the time. This week while having a relaxed practise swing concentrating on the swish at the ball I suddenly had an eureka moment. I managed to replicate this for the remainder of my game and was amazed at the easy swing with increased distance and accuracy. Glad I found this video again.
Terrific lesson. A must watch to understand speed vs. efficiency . Thanks for this Brendon and Mike!
It's always good to see Mike explaining better ways to approach the game . I think his knowledge has become so extensive over the years , that he has 4 or 5 ways to explain the same point ( good if you weren't listening closely the first time ) . As for the other guy ( ? Brendon ) , he doesn't seem to be able to stand still for more than 3 seconds ... very distracting . And disrespectful of " The Pro " !
I agree. He was distracting. He seemed to have his own agenda, and something about Lord Byron. What was that all about?
Why is it because one person is not like the other it has to be disrespectful? Distracting maybe, yes, but disrespectful? I didn't hear him talking over Mike, or constantly interrupting with dissenting comments. ADHD anyone? Impulse? It may be distracting to you, but quite normal for him. I work with baseball/softball players and each one is different. Some are very calm, patient and 'attentive', while some are not. A good instructor, in my opinion, adapts to his students strengths and style to make them better.
Well said Richard. As a school teacher of 25 yrs your comments are spot on
Great video that taught me a lot. One of the best teaching video's I have seen.
I'm always trying to tell people how I hit it as far as I do but look very effortless. I tell them they need to keep their arms and wrists loose but didn't know how to convey that. This will really help and explains what I feel like when I hit it!
17:38 - 17:44 are 6 seconds of hilarity. Great vid. What Mike said about tension is spot on.
CD the look away aka when adhd hits overdrive
First video I've seen focusing on striking efficiency before trying to increase club head speed. Makes perfect sense to me.
This is pure golfing gold here.
The world needs more teachers like Mike. He is such a great teacher
I love listening to Mike and how he explains thinks ,the knowledge he has I find fascinating
I think a good analogy is a door hinge. If the door hinge is rusted the door is not going to move well but if the hinge is nice and loose, you could slam the door and get a lot of speed out of the door. Think of the wrists and shoulders as those hinges. The tighter the muscles in those joints are, in essence, the more friction there is, and the slower those hinges in your body will move.
Nunchucks are another good analogy as to why we need the wrist and the shoulders to create speed. When you swing a nunchuck, the piece you’re holding doesn’t move anywhere near as fast as the piece on the other end of the chain. That chain is like our wrists. If the chain is stiff the outside piece is not going to move that fast but if the chain is nice and loose, it’s going to whip around. The looser the chain is the faster that outside piece of the nunchuck will whip for a given speed of the inside piece that is being held.
On the other hand, you could’ve learned all that from their excellent explanations. This is a great video.
Mike your absolutely right about Sandy Koufax! He played for 12 years and in his first 5 seasons he had the speed and absolutely no control of his fast ball, this video is so good it explains the concept of control and speed, look at Fred Couple’s swing
The guy walking right behind Malaska..lol. Great video.
Best explanation I've seen in a while, Mike is AWESOME!!! You guys make a great pair for these vids
11 15 till 14 30 for me is the light bulb moment ive been looking for the final piece to the puzzle and this is it for me aewsome 😀😀😀👍👍👍brilliantly done guys thanks for the help
It's great, alright.
Another way to explain it is that a swing is a curved motion, and what the torso and legs do has to be compatible with that. If you slide the knees "down the line" in a straight line, it's like spinning a weight on a string with your hand and then moving your hand in a straight line through space. The speed dies out and the orbit gets distorted, with the weight bouncing all over the place.
So many people don't understand that the swinging motion, not the levering-thrusting-pushing motion, is by far the most effective and efficient speed-producing motion the body can produce with a golf club. Same for swinging a bat, actually, or a tennis racket. The more you try to make geometric straight lines in the motion, the more incompatible it is with what the body actually does well.
"The stable left side puts the brakes on the handle and accelerates the club head "
Gold!
Double pendulum in golf swing.
Bloody fantastic coach . I absolutely love all these Malaska Videos .
Yeah Mike not that other dude. Mike is so good. Too bad those teacher's messed him up on tour, but we benefit from it because as he said, "If he had succeeded we probably would never have gotten all these videos and lessons.

I am reading an e-book by Shawn Humphries/Brad Townsend - Two Steps to a Perfect Golf Swing and I thought about what Malaska was preaching. They are the same process but was broken down in details and illustrated well. I felt improvement on my swing.
I read a book years ago called "Peak Performance" and it dealt with athletic training and didn't deal with any sport specifically. One line from that book that I have never forgotten was, "...relaxed muscles move faster than tense muscles." It is CRITICAL to remain as relaxed as possible and focus all of your efforts on technique. It's hard to accept, especially for guys but it really has very little do with strength, it's all about technique. I can't wait to try this next trip to the range! Great video guys, except for the dope who walked through your shot, totally oblivious to the camera! lol.
THANK YOU! That was easily the best and most informative golf lesson I've seen on CZcams.
Love love love this! Mike is a great teacher. Sees the finer details and gives the student just what they need.
I've seen a lot of instructors and one of the most common things is that they're trying to come up with their own complicated lingo. Everyone is trying to sound smart and, therefore, can justify their outrageous fees. It's apparent that Mike knows the golf swing. I so much appreciate his basic explanation of what others are complicating. As others have said, this is gold! The analogy of the runners training to run faster by running downhill is apropos. Swinging with an alignment rod, or the club upside down, is a great way to get the body to feel the speed. Love it!
Hi B
Great content. I like to see views of other instructors, but the best move you've ever made or could make IMO is to stick with Mike Malaska. In terms of peer swing instruction he is hands-down the best there is online. You are so fortunate to have personal access to him. I've been a member of his site for two years, learned so much, and have never played better. I am amazed that you are able to keep your head straight and your game improving by seeing so many different instructors. I learned golf from Hogan's book years ago and then found rotaryswing.com and improved a lot. Then I found Mike and and I came went to a higher level. I learned how momentum, gravity and no tension work in the golf swing. Now I'm consistently improving by ingraining Mike's program/concepts with constant practice until it becomes completely natural.

Very helpful. Last season I signed up at the Malaska gold site. I had success early but near the end of the season I started struggling with iron play. Started hitting thin and lower trajectory shots. I could not solve it. The only draw back to the online lesson format is no way to get a personal lesson to help workout the issue. Anyway, I highly recommend his site. Lots of useful info, drills and theory about how to play the game.
This is the BEST video I’ve ever seen on how to get more club head speed by far! Thanks for this video
Everything this man says is GOLDEN
Good video its the best I've seen to raise club speed
even my 3 years old boy understand his golf teaching. really good teacher!
Wow, great video. Mike, you are one of a very few golf teachers who makes a common sense. Also I watched your putting video and that was great too. Thanks, MASTER!
If you’re going to use chalk to figure out where you’re hitting it on the face with a driver, keep in mind that within the last 15 years or so the engineering that goes into optimizing launch and ball speed has inadvertently shifted where the sweet spot of the driver is.
Almost all new drivers sweet spots are a little higher and more towards the toe than the middle of the face.
This isn’t an anecdote - it’s a fact.
The engineers at Titleist told us not to worry about it because your body is going to figure out where the sweet spot has shifted to (non-consciously) and to let that happen naturally.
But if you’re wondering why the imprints always looks to be slightly above the sweet spot and slightly towards the toe with the driver, don’t get worked up over it ... you’re actually hitting the sweet spot!
It’s not going to be crazy, just a little high and a little outwards.
Smack dab in the middle (crazy as it sounds) means you’re below the sweet spot.
Low and towards the heel or toe is a death move - seek help immediately 😳!
Best video about distance and speed I've seen yet.
Great lesson!
You really know your stuff!
Love Mike's tutalige, great video.
It is mind boggling what happens from relaxed practice swings. I sometimes turn into King Kong. What a mental game. Thanks for the video. I appreciate your time.
Great explanation of how all the parts fit together, really good teaching
Love the random video bomber strolling in front of the range at the start 😅
Julius Boros comes to mind. He talks of it in his book. Swing Easy- Hit hard. His life was about being relaxed. People said Boros did every thing relaxed. He said he swung relaxed and Struck the ball at the impact zone.
What a great lesson. This guy is a great teacher.
right? i had a wonderful coach when i was 5-11 years old. He was very similar and got me shooting under 90 by the time i was in middle school. But he retired to florida shout out to PGA Professional Bill Sporee . But once he left i lost that firm hand and my high school coach never taught us anything at all. Meanwhile kids im playing with and against are being coaches my Ledbetter and Hank Haney lol
Be Better Golf: I've scoured youtube and watched face-on slow motion videos of the best players and they all turn and "slide". From Grant Waite to Rory McIlroy they all slide and quite a bit. However, I do believe your right on the tension in the shoulders.
great, this coach understands his trade! 👍👍👍Bruno from Switzerland
"Top of the mornin to ya" LMAO @2:04
This video is one that truly answers your questions! THANKS
Took a lesson today and been told the same exact concept: don’t focus on turning your body, stand taller and throw the club head to the ball as if you’d skip a stone on the water: best drives in months...
THIS ... is as good as it gets.
the right foot left foot thing is Amazing i can flat out feel more rotation in the backswing and that spanking action is so apparent add the strong left.
probably your best video Brendon. You asked some very good questions. Thank you
As usual, Mike explains it so the layman can understand!
I really liked Mike's analogy. All this time I was trying to focus so much on using my legs then my torso and I would always get out of balance.
Mr. Malaska is a master! Thank you sir!
I love the guy walking across the shot at the beginning.
Loved the video! Thank you! It all makes sense and it was presented very straight forward way. Thanks again.
Dr Joseph Masternick thx Doc, let us know about your progress.
your swing with that stick was one of your best swings ive ever seen you have
Thanks Mike, easy to understand and put into practice.
thanks for good instruction!! no tension on shoulders sockets. improve the smash factor!
efficiency is important, indeed!!!
again good lesson. ray
no joke, this just blew my mind lol. Can't wait to head to the range and try this tonight
I think this confirms my view that the role of the lower body is to (1) hold your ground against the momentum of the swinging club and (2) get the hell out of the way so the club can come on the right path, from the inside and shallow. IMO there are two concepts in modern instruction that have done the most damage. The first is “delayed hit.” Malaska has said a lot about this. People are trying to hit the position they see in videos of the pros by holding their wrists cocked: could not be more deadly. The second is using the lower body to create speed by twisting fast. Noooo. The pros and instructors talk about it but feel isn’t real. There is no muscle, no sinew, no ligament, no bone, no part of the human anatomy that causes the hands/arms/clubhead to speed up by turning the hips faster. Does turning faster help? Yes, in that your turn must accommodate the speed of the club. It’s a enabler of a speeding clubhead, not a cause of it, and the difference is important. That torque of their spikes in the ground that pros talk about? It’s not a pulling action, speeding up the clubhead. It’s the resistance of the body, through the legs, feet, and spikes, holding your ground against the centrifugal force generated by the clubhead. If you are a puller of the clubhead, you’re not as good as you could be. You can’t hit it as well. Further, pulling the clubhead, on a “lesser” level is why you can’t chip and keep stubbing the ground. If you are a disaster chipping, take your left hand off the club and practice with a soft right hand only, allowing the club to swing. Chipping will become easy. Then you have to figure out how to put your left hand back on the club and allow the same swinging sensation.
I couldn't agree with you less. Go look at Cam Champ's swing, or Tiger's swing from 2002, or Michelle Wie's swing when she was 16, or Dustin Johnson today. All are fast hip driven, pulling swings. Malaska is right about the lack of tension being critical, but ignoring fast hips as a component of a fast swing is just silly. Golf is an athletic motion, and all speed in your body, whether throwing a football, baseball, or hitting a golf ball comes from your hips.
Jay Snipe: then explain hitting ball just as far with flamingo drill.
@@Steve-vy6nl That just tells me that he isn't maximizing his athletic potential. If the golf club is essentially weightless like an alignment stick, you can flash it through the impact zone. That doesn''t work nearly as well with something approaching the weight of a golf club. Get a swing speed monitor and try it for yourself. Use a step drill and see the difference in club head speed turning your hips quickly makes.
Jay Snipe. I agree that turning your hips increases clubhead speed, and turning them faster-for a fast swing-makes even more speed. Where we differ is why. You’re making the point that turning the hips fast pulls the club along. I disagree. Turning the hips fast gets them out of the way so they are not impeding the momentum of the clubhead. Based on your release (which is at the top), the club builds angular momentum. If your turn is non-existent or slow, you’re in the way and the only way the club will hit the ball is for you to stand up and flip with your hands TO SOME DEGREE, depending on your hip turn. That slows the clubhead. If your clubhead is moving pro-speed, then the faster you turn, the less “interference” you make with the club’s angular momentum, allowing it to swing fast. Cameron Champ has the ability to clear his hips completely out of the way fast, and still maintain his body angles. Again, it’s a matter of anatomy: there is no body part, or chain of body parts, that connects the hips and the swinging arms such that the hips effectively pull the arms. That’s why Tony Luszak’s student, the long drive champ, can hit the ball as far balancing on one leg as he can on two.
Agreed. 90% of swingspeed relates to the arms, Rest is bodyturn.
So huge!! That shot and tip at 14:00 was so pure.
Brendan your swing is looking great!
Great video! Mike is the man!
So simple yet I never thought about it. Great vid.
Thanks again guys.
He is a genius
You have a new subscriber! Brilliant video, will make my pre shot and shot making much different. Off to the driving range to try out.
Thx 🇨🇦
Thanks once again! I am learning and improving along with you! Well maybe not quite a fast...
Day 4,324: Still trying to find a Malaska video where he doesn't mention "Jack". Will try again tomorrow. Will not give up hope.
Interesting thought by Mike. Gary player said the core is the speed generator. However I believe what mike said because I tried up what Mike said and found that my speed and distance increased.
Brilliant. Love Mike's teaching and concepts. B is the swing caddie truly that accurate? I'm on the fence with purchasing one.
Good only ballspeed but not on clubhead speed. Also guessing on spin and launch. So carry estimate could be very different if you hit low launching spinners. But if you monitor strike that will help assess your spin
Very simple how it should be! Great video amazing instruction
My smash factor averaged at 1.46 at a swing speed of 99 mph. This year I wanna get an additional 12 to 15 mph or clubspeed while maintaining my smash factor at 1.46 or increasing it to 1.50.
Great must try and try to remember thinking of a Sam Snead comment was it stay oily or stay greasy same principle I think
Can’t wait to try these tips out!
A mayor point is that besides clubhead speed centernes of strike and the relation to ballspeed is important. I was fitted to a 0,5 inch drivershaft, sacrificed a little CHspeed but gained ballspeed and yardage through better strike and smashfactor. So Driverfitting and bringing down Spin, landingangle is really a big thing! But besides I think the swingmechanics it comes down to pure musclepower and speedtraining.
Great content. Explanations helped a lot!
I need to spend a year with this guy
