Mr. Malska is the BEST instructor out there! I have taken lessons with 10 plus of the best "Top 100" golf instructors over the past 20 years trying to improve my game... I started this past year and a half with Mike Malaska's concepts for full swing and short game. Full swing results have resulted in me achieving that coveted "effortless power" in the full swing vs. "powerless effort". I have gone from an index of 16.2 to 5.2 on a home course slope rating of 132. I am 55 years old and am truly enjoying making birdies and having fun competitively at my club and other courses nationally now. THANK YOU for sharing your wisdom and instruction on CZcams Mr. Malaska!!! :-)
@@MrMcLovinOhYeah brilliant coach, i only started watching during the 2nd UK lockdown, impressive results, winter coming up, will be working hard on hands in clubhead out ready for spring
I’ve seen these videos in passing for many years, but I only started studying his videos in the past month. These videos have changed my game. He has a great golf swing and he knows how to teach it. I noticed that most of his videos are 2 years or older. Is he still in the game? I have played around 90 for several years with an occasional 84 thrown in. Over the weekend, I was on pace to break 80 until my group was rained out on the 13th hole. We have one player who we say plays boring golf , but this week I earned that distinction because I hit fairways, greens and putted well. Your videos were the reason. I have to work on my short game, but my game improved because of better ball striking thanks to you.
I can't tell you what a difference your teaching has made for me. I have gone from being scared of shanking to stepping up and hitting a draw with no worries. For me, the simple swing thought of "handle down-club head out" makes golf fun again. Lag becomes automatic, my hips open automatically without thought, and I have gotten distance back that I lost from being a handle dragger. My biggest problem is that I love to teach and help others. When I'm at the driving range I want to help everyone. They don't know how much easier it can be. Thanks for what you and your team do! It has made a huge difference for me.
Thank you so much for answering my question! I've improved tremendously with my irons and driver. Not so much with my hybrids. I just have to work on them. Each time I practice, I kept telling myself, hands in clubhead out. What a difference. I've gained a club distance since!
I have always had somewhat of a slice, after listening to Mike talk about it is the moment of impact that determines what direction the ball will go. I did his drill of bringing your club to the moment of impact, YES I can finally control my shot to a better degree, Thanks Mike.
you make it sound so simple Mike, Great Teaching !! I bought your book , I FEEL YOUR PAIN ! My handicap has gone down by 3 in 4 months playing once a week , all thanks to your wise approach to Golfs simplicity. you,v brought the fun back to my game thanks
I'm so happy i can't thank Mike enough because by watching all Malaska vid + (Malaska videos from Eric Cogorno and Be Better golf channel) I evolved from hitting all wrongly ( take away to inside, unhinging scooping flipping turning hips "ole" movement and moving up 👉classic amateur mistakes) to hitting like the pro's. Took me abt 8 months but I finally figured it out 💯🏆🥳 his hands down club head out concept and transition. Obs: it cost me abt 4 months to realize my club face was too shut. Had to be much more open like Tiger's to do this concept. Once I realize that, I just had to focus in the hands/forearm down to create tremendous amount of club head speed and get that correct angle of entry. The complete body movement/transition I figured it out in 2 months by watching the transition series vids with Mike and Eric. Never paid for a golf lesson. Just watched all Malaska videos. It's good stuff. Really Really good.
Excellent just discovered Mike's teaching. I've played golf of and on for decades but simply couldn't get it. I am good at other sports, baseball, tennis, cricket, table tennis, and have good hand to eye coordination. But Golf I didn't play because it was painful you just couldn't get any progress and no one seemed able to help with lots of advice that seemed contradictory. Mike's approach clears that up in about 5 minutes. I can actually start to enjoy the game and actually make progress. When I go to the range for practice I mentally have Mike in my mind telling be shallow the hands and run the club into the ball. Obviously I make mistakes, but I know what I am trying to do and I just simply cannot state how great a difference that makes
Thank you Mike for a great Q&A session. It really cleared up a few things for me, especially regarding how to stop the toe of the club getting out and over the heel. I presume the "pivot point" you refer to is not the body pivot, but the sort of pivot of the hands counter-clockwise roughly opposite your right shoulder area as you keep the right shoulder back (keep your back to the target a fraction longer).
Any man who shaves 20 strokes off my game in 2 days i will thumb every video he has. What a dang foundation to build from. That hip video and release like a sane person vid saved me. I released that way the 1st time i ever swung a club and the golf channel had me trying to time a flip flop release at 100mph forever it feels like. In 2 days i hit my irons like i always dreamed of instead of being scared the balls gona feel like a rock and go 60 feet. I have found iron flush nirvana now.
Mike implied that his entire teaching method is based on Jack Nicklaus twirling the club head. Once anyone teaches themselves to twirl the club head in front of them in a full circle and then apply it to their actual swing ; they are well on the way to applying everything else Mike talks about. Twirl the club head is my only swing thought for the rest of my life. All the other garbage of shallowing the club and so forth is out of my thoughts forever. Thank you Mike and Jack and even Ed Merrin who years ago explained to Jack Nicolaus how to swing the handle to feel the weight and the path of the club head traveling in a circular motion midway to the ball and through to the finish. Cheers
Hey not sure any body will read this 4 year old video ,,, it's 8/10/20 IAM playing muttontown country club today don't ask me how I got on that course ,, friend of a friend lol !! Anyway IAM an 18 HC and IAM going to break 80 today for the first time I've been playing regularly for 2years now and I've watch numerous I mean numerous Mike malaska videos in the last 3weeks I gotta say I've played 8 times since watching Mike and dropped 10 strokes with this off setting forces and working with momentum the way Mike teaches it,, tomorrow I'll post on this video to say how I broke 80 with this absolutely beautiful way to play golf (effortless ) I've never been happier on the course or played better since watching and learning from Mike!!! Ok Bla Bla Bla hopefully malaska golf reads this message and realize what there doing for the Average Golfer ,,total Game Changer ty you guys incredible job your doing ty!!!!
This is great Mike. You don't have to do this..and it's helped me hit the ball properly after 20 years of the wrong moves😊. Just wanted to say thanks !
i see... the right shoulders stays back. so hard to get rid of bad habits. Wished these videos were available for me 8 years ago :( but excited to try and improve with Mike's books and videos. Makes so much sense now. Thanks Mike
Probably the best still to get this swing is to get a hockey stick or a broom handle (basically anything longer than your driver) and make split hand swings. This guy is awesome.
Brilliant video Mike. One day at practice, I found that magic "let the momentum do the work". Probably one of the most joyous experiences I've had in golf. I wasn't hitting the ball as far as I usually do, but, it was straighter and felt sooo much more fluid and "sweet". Unfortunately I am having problems getting that feeling back and it is harder to hit my longer irons this way. Keep the great videos coming!
Mike, I'm hoping you can do a video explaining your philosophy on the transition movement and how it corresponds with the hands down clubhead put action. I find at times I get caught too much on my back foot when I get the handle working down while keeping the right shoulder back. The general advice is the work the left knee towards the target to start the transition but I find this encourages the right shoulder the work out towards the ball.
I just spent my entire Sunday watching your videos and practicing with some foam balls in my office. I genuinely feel I've made some improvements. Some more videos on ball position would be helpful. Thanks!
wholly ship batman as a person who played hockey most of his life this sunk in and WOW does it work. The downside is that I'm long to begin with Now I've gained so much more distance, was hitting a 58 degree wedge 120 carry, previously that was my 105 carry club. I've never struck the ball better then I did today. Best explanation of a golf swing ever at least for us hockey players,lol.
Mike, thank you so much for your great instruction. You have a great talent for putting it into understandable terms and feels. I just found you recently and am applying your principles. I've hit some of the purest shots in my golfing life. I've never heard you talk about staying behind the ball into and just beyond impact but many instructors tout this as essential to consistent ball striking. It seems to help me and I've been working on it but now the right side of my low back is killing me (I'm right handed). I've had the tendency to get over the top and your swing technique, if done properly, will take care of that. Could you possibly talk to this "stay behind the ball" maxim? Am I way out of bounds. Thanks again for all your great instruction.!
Thanks so much for clarifying the point about not isolating muscle groups. I am still in the process of building solid workout routines. Currently it is a lot of body weight circuits, dynamic stretches, isometric(for joint and tendon strength), also weighted swings(not a weighted club rather hand weights, wrist weights, arm weights. I believe that training should be harder than reality so wouldn't a weighted shirt,shorts, etc. Be ideal for full range of motion strength building? Not full speed but full range of motion in sets? Thanks again for your amazing videos. With so much false information your truths instantly stand out. Thanks for doing what you do and all the effort to explain and simplify it.
Hi Mike, I have been seeing all of your videos for about 2 months , in order to have in my mind the new "swing", then go to practice rage or at my house in order to have slow repetition of the swing , I have been i think to "shouldery" in my swing so I am trying to swing with my arms, working on the pivot points I see my swing kind of steep on the downswing: Great theory of the swing my golsf stroke has improve. Pablo
Hi Mike, Thanks for this video, I'm hoping there are more to come, wanted to let you know that bc of your concepts of offsetting forces and how you're constantly pushing away, how to not try and turn on the transition with your right shoulder and how to hit the golf ball like a slap shot in hockey especially with how they clear their right leg sweeping back I'be gone from shooting 103+ to 87 2-3 rounds in a row now. I'm also getting amazing contact and club head speed with my 150 yard club now being my 9i sometimes even my PW instead of my 7i and I'm only 5'8 140 lbs lol. Truly appreciate your work, I bought your book a year ago but these videos really do help supplement the material.
Absolutely great mike you don’t over complicate stuff I have been watching your videos and they have really helped me one thing mike when you go back with your swing when you turn does your club automatically drop down I’m trying not long took golf up thanks jimmy
Hey mike, for the question regarding the toe of the club going out and creating snap hooks. I’ve found combining the handle down and the forearms rotating, mixed with the elbows laterally moving along your swing arc works for me, and might help that gentlemen
Mike, a question about Joe Nicols theory: Is swing is just about driving the club to pivot point number 2 then let the momentum do the work? Is that simple? I feel it is that sometime but i am not sure. Thank you for answering
Hello Mike. My question is about the all important club/ball impact. I really get and try to visualise that illusive moment. At the moment I am trying the throw the right hand at the club. I am very right hand dominated. To the point where my left feels useless in comparison. Everybody tells me that my left hand leads the golf swing. I put my glove on my left hand, as I have been told. This goes against everything my body/brain wants to do. Is it possible to play right handed golf? At impact if I go one handed, my right hand is accurate. The left is comical.
Mike, this interaction is great and much appreciated. I have a question. Here you explained how inappropriate use of the right shoulder and arm can close the face. My question relates to your Golf Tennis Racket Lesson video. In that video the lady you were teaching initially closed the face not with her right shoulder/arm, but with turning of her hands/wrists. It looked to me that the move she made was the same movement that you demonstrated with the turning of the 'wheel'/racket. Yet it produced an error. When i try to employ that wheel turning move i do exactly what she did. I clearly haven't understood the move! Please help.
Hi Mike and thank you for great videos! I want know how to get rid of a pull with my driver? Ithink i have decent swing and ican hit 300 yard but sometimes(often right now..) I pull th driver. Can you do a video on that?
Hello Mike......can you provide us with some drills to keep the shaft at the proper plane or angle on the downswing. I can feel the shaft plane changing on my mishits. When I hit it pure I have the feeling of being under the ball or another way to describe it would be my hands feel low at impact.
Mike, when I turn the heel in and as you've said, your hands feel like they float and go along for the ride, it is a smooth and effortless movement. However, when I do that I can't get the club head back to the ball. It always floats well above the ball. In order to get the club back to the ball I have developed this violent throw down to the ball which has started to hurt my left wrist. there must be some focal point well behind the ball where the hands and grip cross one another and the head of the club passes your hands to make impact with the ball. Can you elaborate?
Mike, today I was hoping to build on the momentum of last weekend's golfing. I was working on trying to make the downswing pivot outside of my right hip (I am right handed). I was not hooking the ball rather hitting the ball directly left (straight ball path to the left). was I perhaps making the pivot happen too soon?
+Pablo Diaz yh when I get it right the ball just flies with no effort but that intention to 'hit' the ball sometimes gets my right shoulder out too fast and end up stalling
Mike, you seem to have a very flat wrist. I continue to fight with holding mine wrist flat and it almost hurts to do it. I see a lot of players with a cupped wrist. Can you talk about this some time? Thanks so much for the great content.
I have sent in several questions and have received 0 response. I love the videos’s and the site and have answered some questions on it by just doing drills and swinging without a ball. I understand you get a ton of questions but I find fired at least one would get a response. Is there a different address to use bedsides info@ malaska etc. Thanks E

Checking in to see if you are still at it and enjoying succuss? I've recently picked it up with similar results and am still in disbelief
@@MrMcLovinOhYeah brilliant coach, i only started watching during the 2nd UK lockdown, impressive results, winter coming up, will be working hard on hands in clubhead out ready for spring
MIKE MALASKA - the COMPLETE instructor, CLEAR CONCISE COMPLETE!
Your steering wheel, heel out explanation is so good. I've been practicing it at home and it feels brilliant. Thanks!
Hi Mike learning how swing golf club I was 28 handicap now am off 11.4 in one season thanks for your hard work in golf ⛳️

Great information, thanks Mike! Arguably the best golf instruction video productions on CZcams. Video quality and sound reproduction are amazing...

Physics + humour = Mike Malaska. Thanks you have demystified the golf swing, other instructors have just made it more impossible.
I have always had somewhat of a slice, after listening to Mike talk about it is the moment of impact that determines what direction the ball will go. I did his drill of bringing your club to the moment of impact, YES I can finally control my shot to a better degree, Thanks Mike.

This video has so much in it. This should be titled different or keywords added. From ball position to muscles worked. Thanks so much for your time.

This is great Mike. You don't have to do this..and it's helped me hit the ball properly after 20 years of the wrong moves😊. Just wanted to say thanks !
Mike thanks for the videos keep up the good work
I tried your Malaska move on the range now I am going to try today it was very promising on the range
Thanks Mike, hitting great since I started following you!
i see... the right shoulders stays back. so hard to get rid of bad habits. Wished these videos were available for me 8 years ago :(

Alan Martins wow 😮
You know what would help others is for those here that have success using Mike's method, to post video/s of themselves with their swing.
Mike, thank you so much for your great instruction. You have a great talent for putting it into understandable terms and feels. I just found you recently and am applying your principles.

Great teaching Mike! Good job!
Bottom line……..”push away”! Took me awhile to figure it out. It cures most everything in my swing!
the automatic hip turn thing was a game changer for me
Hi Mike, I have been seeing all of your videos for about 2 months , in order to have in my mind the new "swing", then go to practice rage or at my house in order to have slow repetition of the swing , I have been i think to "shouldery" in my swing so I am trying to swing with my arms, working on the pivot points I see my swing kind of steep on the downswing:
Great theory of the swing my golsf stroke has improve. Pablo
Great Q&A, makes sense
Mike thank you for answers!
Now I get it....(4:35). Will have to get out to the range and try it
Hi Mike,
Thanks for this video, I'm hoping there are more to come, wanted to let you know that bc of your concepts of offsetting forces and how you're constantly pushing away, how to not try and turn on the transition with your right shoulder and how to hit the golf ball like a slap shot in hockey especially with how they clear their right leg sweeping back I'be gone from shooting 103+ to 87 2-3 rounds in a row now. I'm also getting amazing contact and club head speed with my 150 yard club now being my 9i sometimes even my PW instead of my 7i and I'm only 5'8 140 lbs lol.
Truly appreciate your work, I bought your book a year ago but these videos really do help supplement the material.
Hi Mike, can you please do a segment on the takeaway sequence. Thank you, Ted Douglas
Such a great video and q and a.
your the man mike! :)
Absolutely great mike you don’t over complicate stuff I have been watching your videos and they have really helped me one thing mike when you go back with your swing when you turn does your club automatically drop down I’m trying not long took golf up thanks jimmy
Hey mike, for the question regarding the toe of the club going out and creating snap hooks. I’ve found combining the handle down and the forearms rotating, mixed with the elbows laterally moving along your swing arc works for me, and might help that gentlemen
Appreciate the videos
with that little look at 4.40...that drive was smoked!!
Mike, a question about Joe Nicols theory:
Is swing is just about driving the club to pivot point number 2 then let the momentum do the work? Is that simple?
I feel it is that sometime but i am not sure.
Thank you for answering
Thank you!!
Hello Mike.
My question is about the all important club/ball impact. I really get and try to visualise that illusive moment. At the moment I am trying the throw the right hand at the club. I am very right hand dominated. To the point where my left feels useless in comparison. Everybody tells me that my left hand leads the golf swing. I put my glove on my left hand, as I have been told. This goes against everything my body/brain wants to do. Is it possible to play right handed golf? At impact if I go one handed, my right hand is accurate. The left is comical.
Mike, this interaction is great and much appreciated.
I have a question. Here you explained how inappropriate use of the right shoulder and arm can close the face. My question relates to your Golf Tennis Racket Lesson video. In that video the lady you were teaching initially closed the face not with her right shoulder/arm, but with turning of her hands/wrists. It looked to me that the move she made was the same movement that you demonstrated with the turning of the 'wheel'/racket. Yet it produced an error. When i try to employ that wheel turning move i do exactly what she did. I clearly haven't understood the move! Please help.
Mike... how about distance of ball from foot alignment line ? What are the visual check points ?
Hi Mike and thank you for great videos! I want know how to get rid of a pull with my driver? Ithink i have decent swing and ican hit 300 yard but sometimes(often right now..) I pull th driver. Can you do a video on that?
Mike do u recommend a heavier club with lower swing weight, or a lighter club with a higher swing weight?
Hello Mike......can you provide us with some drills to keep the shaft at the proper plane or angle on the downswing. I can feel the shaft plane changing on my mishits. When I hit it pure I have the feeling of being under the ball or another way to describe it would be my hands feel low at impact.
I find if I try and do a lot of what you teach my golfing goes to crap, what should I be thinking of during the game?
What are your thoughts on setting up a somewhat closed stance and what about head eye positions. Thanks
Mike, when I turn the heel in and as you've said, your hands feel like they float and go along for the ride, it is a smooth and effortless movement. However, when I do that I can't get the club head back to the ball. It always floats well above the ball. In order to get the club back to the ball I have developed this violent throw down to the ball which has started to hurt my left wrist. there must be some focal point well behind the ball where the hands and grip cross one another and the head of the club passes your hands to make impact with the ball. Can you elaborate?
Mike, today I was hoping to build on the momentum of last weekend's golfing. I was working on trying to make the downswing pivot outside of my right hip (I am right handed). I was not hooking the ball rather hitting the ball directly left (straight ball path to the left). was I perhaps making the pivot happen too soon?
I love you sir
Great channel! I lost tush line in the top of the backswing, any idea why and how to fix it? Thanks Mike!
I am right handed playing left handed golf. Is this hampering my development? JR in Dallas
Isn't the most important aspect to getting the clubhead out is to also hold back your right shoulder
I agree , that is the most dificult part of the new swing
+Pablo Diaz yh when I get it right the ball just flies with no effort but that intention to 'hit' the ball sometimes gets my right shoulder out too fast and end up stalling
It's like we have to use a lot of arm and hand movement to achieve the swing
Mike, you seem to have a very flat wrist. I continue to fight with holding mine wrist flat and it almost hurts to do it. I see a lot of players with a cupped wrist. Can you talk about this some time? Thanks so much for the great content.
You swing method is life changing...However at times I'm over drawing and hooking the ball...what am I doing that's causing this...
Too strong of a grip
Good stuff!
I have sent in several questions and have received 0 response. I love the videos’s and the site and have answered some questions on it by just doing drills and swinging without a ball. I understand you get a ton of questions but I find fired at least one would get a response. Is there a different address to use bedsides info@ malaska etc.
Thanks

3:27....that was flushed
Mike hope you can answer this but is this getting the club out in front of you 'feel' going to feel like a very flat swing?
I can’t tsp the push away part of it
