    I love your videos guys, keep'em coming! Quick question: Do you have any videos for folks like me who are very stiff and lack the mobility to get that "full turn with high hands" in the back swing? this being the case, at what point does a person like myself end the back swing and begin transition? I find myself trying to emulate these extremely flexible pros, which I believe is throwing my sequence off. After watching your videos, because of this, I also noticed a checkpoint of my lead shoulder turning across my chest under my chin and the club gets behind me. Thanks!!

    Some of the old tips years ago were intended for many of us hacks who needed an exaggeration, or practice only move, in key areas of the swing. Like the holding back with the wrist angle and trying to maintain lag, just getting us to move into the right side going back at all, my favorite the feet together L to L half swing drill I got from Golf Tips magazine years ago. Higher handicap stuff for sure but it helped overswinging, reverse pivoting glancing blow early casters get a better feeling of what a golf swing feels like... to a point. Great drills here as always, and a much more thorough understanding of WHY. Of all your youtube videos the one that blows me away is still the left arm movement going back.... or how little of it actually. Thanks for that, guys!

  • @Delburr
    @Delburr Před 2 lety

    saw your past video explaining this and has helped me a lot. Im a 0 handicap, but had nerve damage from a back injury 2 years ago and now have left ankle instability. I wear a brace to play, and if I oversway any in my backswing it leads to disaster as I try to recenter and rebalance. So I have to really focus on keeping my center over the ball as long as possible in the backswing and keep pressure on my left foot (55-45), so that it is more stable and I can keep turning and moving my center forward before I get to the ball. Then I REALLY focus on my finish and balance. Has helped regain my distance and contact. Thanks guys!

  • @temporarystranger95
    @temporarystranger95 Před 2 lety +4

    Another essential video from the best in the business! You guys address what I think are the two most common misconceptions of the golf swing …. 1) The mistaken belief that there should be little to no lateral movement in the golf swing, both off the ball and in the downswing, particularly with the upper body moving together with the lower body. A major problem I experience working with golfers is early separation … their sternum separates from their pelvis very early in the downswing (often in transition), causing their lower body to race ahead of their upper body. From that early separation, the arms, hands, and club have to play catch-up, leading to an excessive amount of club face rotation and flipping through impact. This early separation causes their swing to become timing-dependent, and as David Duval has said, “Timing is the enemy of golfers.” However, as you guys constantly stress, as the upper body moves left laterally with the lower body, and stays stacked over the lower body, at least until left-arm parallel and even into the delivery phase, the timing nature of the strike is removed. Club face stability is enhanced, even with an aggressive release from the delivery phase into impact. This aggressive release of the club face, as you demonstrate, is the opposite of common misconception No. 2) the belief that you have to hold the lag angle and drag the handle through impact. I see this all the time as golfers rehearse this hold-and-drag action in their practice swings. Golfers do not understand that if they position their body correctly in the downswing, as you demonstrate, they can have that aggressive release of the club face through the ball, and it is not flipping nor is it timing-dependent. Gentlemen, once again, your content is golden. I send guys to your site all the time. I appreciate what you do, and I hope you both had a very merry Christmas and a happy holiday season…..

      Thanks so much for the kind words, and for sharing us with your players! We couldn't agree more with what you said and how you explained the chain of events. And what's so damaging is that golfers try to apply both misconceptions as the same time. One is enough to derail the swing, but both gives you virtually no chance to swing well. Keep up the great work👊

      @roadfert Před 2 lety +1

      Try checking your stance width at address. I had the same problem for years and my stance was way to wide which causes a great deal of swaying and being stuck on your right foot. Narrower is usually better than wide. Remember, your legs are connected to your hips not your shoulders so the hips should dictate your stance width since you could have really broad shoulders in comparison to your hips or vice versa.

    very helpful video. I have been doing these drills / similar drills I have seen in your other videos a good amount and my lateral control looks a lot better now. My swing looks very solid when doing a practice swing and I can control my body correctly; however, when I add the ball into the mix I am forced to flip the club early because the face is too open. I have tested closing the face at the top of my backswing and then I can have a good amount of compression, but I don't want to just have a strong grip to fix this issue. A video about how to close the face would be very helpful. I have an idea of how to close it with bowing the left wrist but its hard to get myself to do that naturally and I haven't really seen any good drills for practicing that.

Players need more help in understanding this. You should show us the clubhead speed at the start of the delivery zone and then at impact. The uncocking of the wrists is adding mph at impact. Your thoughts please?

    Another video idea, a lot of guys talk about getting width in the backswing but how about keeping width in the downswing.

    In your third drill, I think of stepping on a gas pedal with my front foot. That's the go. By stepping on the gas pedal, my front side is extending, my front hip is moving up and around, and my hands are moving up. As my hands move up, the handle of the club comes with them, which has the necessary consequence of the head of the club going down - the lag is releasing. The harder I step on the ground, the faster the club head goes. Sound correct?

    8:26 - the term; “lightening” the foot to re-center. Is exactly what is taught in skiing to achieve the same purpose. “Pushing” is not correct as you loose balance and not maximize pressure shift 👏👍

    Gravity Golf explains the fall.
    But...what are your thoughts about the very upright arm swing in back swing with a fall over of the arm/club in the transition advocated by David Lee? His arm club transition seems to be an exaggeration of the left arm drill you are showing here.

    Do you have any content for seniors because at 73 I can't get the separation (as much as you show) I have lost around 30 yards on my clubs (the woods I can handle but irons are causing me problems as distances are so inconsistent ....7 iron could be 90 yds or 125 and tend to hit 3-4 inches behind.)

    • @AthleticMotionGolf
      @AthleticMotionGolf Před 2 lety

      I don't believe we mentioned separation. Separation varies greatly among tour guys as it does the rest of us normal golfers. The elements we do talk about still apply and things we teach to all of our senior golfers - several of who wish they were as young as you😀. Getting your centers moving correctly is a great cure for those inconsistencies AND those heavy impacts!

    I would love to see a video that I would call "Post up and Exit Left" ... about how the hands CANNOT continue straight down through impact and down the line. In this 2D video world I see too many of my piers on the range trying desperately to move their hands STRAIGHT through and carry forward down the line. "Post up and Exit Left" would demonstrate how the Fall and ultimate PUSH up through the left side will bring the hands through impact and successfully exit LEFT as the body rotates through.

  • @sjgraci
    @sjgraci Před 2 lety

    I think where the confusion comes in with "taking the hands out of it" is that there is definitely radial and ulnar deviation, flexion and extension going on with both wrists, the force of the swing would make it impossible for there not to be. The question is how much should there be throughout the swing, and if you take the hands out of it by lessening or eliminating pronation and supination, or "twisting the handle", through body rotation? I believe the best ball strikers take out the twist as much as possible.

    • @AthleticMotionGolf
      @AthleticMotionGolf Před 2 lety

      Very common question. The answer is a hard "NO" lol. The body doesn't not, not even among the most rotated players on tour, rotate enough to square the club. We see golfers every coming who try to do just that, it's never good, and why they spend the time and money to come in to finally get measured.
      There is ZERO evidence that suggests the best ball strikers twist the club as little as possible. In fact, there is a lot of evidence that shows the opposite. It's an idea that makes sense on paper, but doesn't happen in the real world. First to even know what great ball strikers do, you've got to have a system that is capable of accurately measuring both the body (many system can do this) AND also the club (which only a couple systems can do). GEARS is one of those systems, but outside of a university setting, there's not really anything else available that can do both. We have captured two of the statistically most accurate ball strikers on tour in the past 25 years. One had medium twist, the other had very high twist. That's what happens when you measure these guys (we have over $1 billion won on tour in the database). They cover the gamut, and there is zero correlation that low twist produces a better result (fairways hit, greens hit, proximity, etc.). Zero. Because on either ends of that spectrum, the club is still rapidly closing over the last foot before impact. Another factor that has to be considered is the club itself. The club does not twist uniformly. Meaning, what the golfer is doing at the grip end is NOT what's happening at the head end during the downswing. And that ratio changes as the speed increases coming down. So different shaft profiles require different rates of twisting to achieve the same effect with the head.

    The hardest thing ive found as a golfer who took it up as an adult, having been reasonably good at sports, is how to keep the arms live without them dominating the backswing/sequencing,so that they fire through the ball at the right time.Ive found ATs SB glide is my magic move But she doesnt agree the arms fire at all! Still with that and your great videos im down to 3 hcp and playing to it, at 60yo. By the way Ive overdone the first two drills so going to try your gentler versions!

    Ok.. very good... now, take a look at what you guys do with your feet while explaining the stuff in the 2nd drill portion of the video... say at about 10:10 thru 10:50... You have both moved your back foot to a position in which the big toe of the right foot.. (the back foot of a right hand swing) is more or less now in line with the heel of the front foot... So here is my description of what i might call the "ballerina stance' drill... (to increase compression and prevent reverse pivoting):
    Start with a 7 or 8 iron and load yourself to make a 50 yard chip shot... (firm hit... not much forced effort) Line up to the ball with the ball just slightly behind the big toe of your front foot.. Now, place your back foot about 6 inches in width of stance from your front foot, BUT, move your back foot, (the right foot) so that the toes of the back foot are now even to the heel of the front foot..(something like a ballerina who is about to turn a bit backwards and then spin to the left)... the feet should almost feel like you are in a very narrow stance with a forty five degree angle of the front foot to the back... And be sure to feel like almost all of your weight is on and over the center of the front foot....weight over the front foot...
    Now, simply turn your shoulders on the backswing so that you feel the front shoulder go under your chin... (because of the stance you will pretty much have to stay in balance and not sway too much to the back) and then simply hit the hard chip by releasing the club as you accelerate through the shot...(total backswing at first should not be but about a good half swing)
    Analysis: without much complexity, the usual golfer will get instant feedback on how to strike the ball correctly... (why this works, I am not sure... it just does) I think the narrow, closed stance forces balance and creates a pivot motion which just puts the club into the right position at impact... And, most golfers will almost certainly hit this shot farther than they were trying to... and, will probably produce a shot with a bit of draw spin as well... Next, you can begin to slowly hit a bit harder to get a longer shot...
    and please, try this... anybody can do this... it will not hurt at all to try... and older golfers will love this because it doesn't hurt them physically...
