This all sounds good. I’m an experienced golfer 70 now. The biggest problem I’ve seen many golfers experience is coming over the top in their golf swing. I’ve found if I keep my back to the target longer, with my hands in front of my chest , with a slight closed stance, swinging inside to out, I play pretty good golf. I hit a natural draw. I’ve passed this on to many golfers that all hit the ball better afterwards. This may be contradicting what you’re saying, I’m not sure. Anytime that right shoulder comes forward has always caused problems for me. But every golfer is different. Look at all of the different swings on tour…
Coming over the top is coming over the plane. Porzak says this golfer in the video is coming under the plane. I think it is indeed contradicting because the problems are different!
Kev deserves comment recognition too. Kev, you continue to be the man. Remember, the camera man always survives. You got that going for you and the Dalai Lama owes you one.
Only if ive found your instructions 22 years ago i would have learned the right way to swing the club. Ive been struggling all these years with the driver. I heard of connecting arm-body but never know how to do it until seeing your video. Thank you Adam .
Within 2 minutes I actually understood what I’ve been doing wrong. Thanks Adam you are are definitely the best online instructor, if only I saw your videos a couple of years ago thanks great presentation.
You’re sooo spot on with the chain effect of one wrong move. I had this problem because i was hinging early and rolling my hands behind me. How in the world would I ever have faster hands like your student here with a terrible swing plane? Good stuff!!!
Great video. It's rare to find a video actually about the timing of the body swivel....vs a whipped swing. I find that, when I get it right, my shot accuracy goes way up. The body and mind aim with the timing between swing and body swivel....and it's a great thing when you get it right.
This student's swing looks like Bo Weekly's (one of tour's great ball strikers when he was healthy) the way he keeps his right arm and wrist angles stable from the top of the backswing all of the way to when right hand is in front of right thigh. Nice, simple, powerful swing. I've always had an issue getting right elbow forward on downswing. I'll be using his swing as a model since I have an issue getting right elbow forward on downswing. Nice job!
i'm so glad you made this video. i have this same issue. ive never been able to find a video of anyone talking about this. 99% of the videos on youtube talk about slice issues. ill definitely try these drills
I’ve been hitting solid with a slight fade but today every time I got up to hit, my grip, backswing, downswing, everything felt off and I was snap hooking a lot. I think this video was spot on for me
The trail shoulder through the ball? Absolutely! At age 77 I found a short cut using the seesaw effect of my scapula bone that is attached to my turning chest (rib cage) I start my backswing under the direction of my trail scapula bone gliding two inches towards my spine as this will automatically bring my lead shoulder/chest down. Under the seesaw effect of the scapula bone I start my backswing simply by activating my lead side scapula to glide about four inches towards my spine. This keeps me in my golf posture turning my right shoulder/ chest down as my club head centripetal force smashes through my ball sending it straight to its intended target. My club head will then continue around my turning chest over my lead shoulder to finish my swing. It is all part of the double pendulum swing known by some as the Bell effect of golf; the bell ring the gong; not the gong ringing the bell. Cheers 🥂😊👍
Keep working at it! Make sure when making a change, we take it slow in the beginning to ensure you feel all the correct positions then ramp up the speed gradually!
I have been under plane on the downswing all year. Have always understood that the lower body needs to lead the dowswing. Will instead try to activate the arms/hands early.
It's a lot easier with a simple swing though. Pick a spot two feet behind the ball to look at . Tilt your head at address to watch that spot. Now try to scoop the spot with your trailing hand and throw it.
Adam, You had a video that you showed at start of back swing to start left hand under kind of like point knuckles down at very start of back swing. It was just a small point. Helped me a lot but cannot remember the video. can you comment or point me back to video as want to watch again.
Oh my goodness, I feel like this is going to help me a ton. Cant wait to get on the range now. This Makes too much sense. Is the driver the same? I’m so inconsistent 50% percent fairway finders 50% wayyyy left or I pull it way right (I’m a lefty) there’s really no misses that are still playable on a tight course.
Most definitely this will work but remember that when it comes to driver the set up is different. Ball forward around where the lead shoulder would be. Wider stance. And with our hip bump in combination with the wide stance, it will naturally tilt our spine. Check out one of our driver video if you need some more help!
I guess the question becomes how to get the arms moving back in front faster... just a matter of feeling like they are way out ahead to exaggerate it, I guess?
Different people need to feel different things. A steep player needs to feel the hand to right pocket move while a player who is under the plane needs to feel more of this feeling.
Personally, my transition gets really quick and I don’t get into my lead side. So I’ve been focusing on keeping my hands at the top of my backswing for a split second while my lower body initiated the downswing. Helps my sequencing.

What a top tier comment! I really appreciate that brotha!

Same as always great golf instruction, your the man

Hanging back causes the snap🪝
This was great. More transition and downswing videos please ❤

Man I’m close to that clinic could never afford but that sounds amazing
I have the opposite problem. I can afford it but it's a thousand miles away
love it. This is currently my main issue.
Keep working at it! Make sure when making a change, we take it slow in the beginning to ensure you feel all the correct positions then ramp up the speed gradually!
Great explanation ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Nice belt.
Is this the same concept as "hammering the nail" with the butt end of the club around lead thigh area? Thx.
Another gem Adam! So when we hit r irons, with the hip bump, do we drive off the back leg or focus more on the front leg
Great video, as usual... it seems to me that "skip a rock" as swing thought, would sumarize this concept: am I wrong?
I have been under plane on the downswing all year. Have always understood that the lower body needs to lead the dowswing. Will instead try to activate the arms/hands early.

Amazing video! Love this, i sent an email for info regarding the clinic, a michigan gent here, hoping there is some spots left to reserve!
We will be responding shortly!
6 3 cant seem to get any zip coming from inside.When hands high at top get some compression.
Adam, You had a video that you showed at start of back swing to start left hand under kind of like point knuckles down at very start of back swing. It was just a small point. Helped me a lot but cannot remember the video. can you comment or point me back to video as want to watch again.
I can’t really put my finger on the exact video. If you liked the video, there should be a way to find it under “liked videos”
Oh my goodness, I feel like this is going to help me a ton. Cant wait to get on the range now. This

I wish you would look in to setting up a clinic in the North West.
North Idaho would be ideal…lol

Man, I really want to take a lesson with this guy but I'm in Italy.... 😡
Hands to right pocket versus this in the downswing confuse me
Different people need to feel different things. A steep player needs to feel the hand to right pocket move while a player who is under the plane needs to feel more of this feeling.
