Mike... Shaun!! Man... I have been trying to figure out what is making my swing steep and coming over the top. I was trying to force my hands and arms to stay back while I shoot my hips way out, but it seemed like the more I did it, the worse it got. And then....this THIRTY MINUTE live session, was me!! That "Figure Eight," along with going back to center and "going no further," was the Pot O' Gold at the end of the rainbow. It now feels effortless to do an inside to out swing. Oh!! and I also purchased that "Little Red Book." Thank you guys so very much for your sincere dedication to the game of golf. Al Anthony
Same here. Been searching tips to stop the arm wrestle and this is the thing that fixed it for me. Instantly.
This is without a doubt an ‘a ha’ video for me… I’ve lost my figure eight from my youth, have gotten steep and now finesse my way around and blame lack of commitment to shot instead of working hips properly…. Thank you so much!
You're welcome! No problem!!
I have viewed at least a hundred videos on this topic from some of the most popular instructors and this is by far the best presentation of the golf swing for me who not only swings over the top but also suffers from early extension. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent.
Thansk for the kind words!!!
One of the best golf lessons on CZcams, more of the Live Lessons please!
We are shooting more of these :)
I had to post on here as I started watching your content 6 weeks ago and it's has completly transformed my golf game, I adopted gradually one thing each round from your videos and I have played the 6 best rounds of my life, I finally smashed 80 today with a 6 over 77 playing off 12, after 10 years of trying. My handicap has come down nearly 4 full strokes in that time frame and I have won two competitions, amazing stuff guys and the best tuition content on CZcams
Wow!!! I’m happy for you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏌️♂️
Wow, had to come back and comment. This video just changed my life 😂
Hit the course the morning after this video and I’ve never hit my irons so clean, it genuinely added 10 yards onto every shot.
I’m always prone to my back right heel coming up and hips firing early in the down swing, finishing off my balance on my toes.
Swing felt so much more comfortable applying the advice in this video.
Awesome work guys.
*Keep on showing these, as I said before this is the way all lessons should be done to show the reality.*
We've got more on the way 👍
Guys, I have been watching for years., and got the figure 8 move down but kept moving forward, which resulted in bad hooks. Subsequently stopped doing this. The part that you are pretty much done moving forward click for me. That’s a huge part. Thanks for discussing that piece.
@@mattjerina3855 me too
Yes. I like the way this is done. 👍🏻
9:25 Today at the range I tried two things: shallow out my takeaway and downswing with the towel drill, and since y'all said that this weight shift move helps with shallowing the club, I wanted to try this first/with that. About 70 balls into the session I felt the "easy power" that I saw my instructor had last year. It's the first time that I had an easy swing go full distance... probably even further... than I was able to hit it last week. It was absolutely incredible how that figure-eight pendulum affects the power dynamics of the swing. Thanks! This was easily the funnest range session I've had in a long time!
The most profound golf instruction video on CZcams hands down!
Your teachings have vastly improved my game. You guys are the best at AMG. There is no one even remotely close to you guys in terms of instruction that actually works.
Wow thanks! Anything we can cover to help your game?
@@AthleticMotionGolf I wish I could show you the progression my swing has taken in the past two years. From explaining re-centering to the money line to framing the ball at impact, I'm so glad I found you guys.
I struggle with full wedge shot spin control. I lose spin and my trajectory is off (too high) with full wedge shots. I may be too steep. Apparently if dynamic loft is more than 50° you can lose ability to generate spin. So how can someone prevent from getting too steep with wedge shots?
You guys are amazing. It is winter still here, but I put on my Zeppelin and went out. 9 swings, all came from the inside. Absolutely outstanding, I am a plus member but kind of old, but this video is my new beginning, thank you so much.
This is the most illustrative demonstration of weight shift in the backswing I've ever seen. Simply awesome, thank you!
Glad to hear it helped! Thanks for watching🙏
Definitely! Hearing the description of hip movement being a figure eight and seeing how he demonstrated it made me go: "OH! So it's a super controlled version of what we see them do in long drive!" I can't wait to put this into practice.
First let me say I am a huge fan of this website and am a member of your lessons on line. Having said that I have been struggling with the concept of unweighting the left leg then the right leg as I am still doing the back swing (not to mention making a figure 8 with the center of my pelvis while doing the pressure shift and also doing all the right things with my arms , wrists and shoulders). I finally have made a breakthrough by just focusing on my left side by unweighting it as I start the backswing and then re-weighting the left side ( I.e. the fall) at the right point in the backswing ing. By focusing all the weighting and unweighting on one side it has greatly simplified the timing and movements I hope this helps other s who may be as unathletic as yours truly
That's most of us right there. It's exactly the feeling I accidently stumble upon on a few times a year where the downswing just seem to happen auto-magically.. Nice to see it spelled out in details and visually now.. Amazing video...
Hopefully it’ll be less elusive now😊
Another brilliant video. Incredible the difference in the swing simply by changing the hip movement. I love the concept that the swing is a result of what the body allows. Previously, the gentleman had no choice but to swing over-the-top and steep because of his body position. Once you fixed his body position (in his case, the recentering of the hips), his swing changed dramatically (without even saying a word about his actual swing). Amazing stuff. Keep these videos coming and thanks for all the great work you do.
Thanks for the kind words!
Said it before, and happy to say it again, this channel is amazing! Really appreciate all the great content. One day I’ll be in that room wearing that suit 🤞
Come on down and see us at the Warehouse anytime!
Me too... but it's about 14,000 miles away.
@@daventhegreat short drive 🥴
Just a wee hop skip & jump ... it's not going to b pretty getting past the covid lines
This is awesome! Exactly what I've struggled with for years. I lean towards the target at the top of my backswing, spin out and get real steep on the way down leading to a flip hook or open face slice! Love this channel for great content, explaining and helping us visualize the correct moves with the appropriate drills!
thank you!
This is the greatest video that has ever been made for golf. Thank you for this. It truly will help me and so many fix their stuff.
This should be every over the top golfers first video for an ott/steep swing
Best lesson I've ever seen on youtube. I think the hardest part in my mind is first slight shift to the right. Setting up correctly with posture makes a big impact for me.
Thanks guys, Dan Marvosh gave me a few lessons back in Ventura county a couple years ago. I was watching your channel before I met him. I randomly mentioned your channel during my first lesson because his lesson had parts that reminded me of what y'all do. Thanks again.
Thank you!!!!
Maybe your best lesson. Your student had exactly the same downswing fault (over the top) as I do, and on video I can see that my backswing is similar to his if not a bit worse. Your correction never occurred to me and I will go to work on staying centered at the top. Thank you for the great analysis and corrective action!
So if I understand you correctly, what achieves the slight move to the left, the re-centering, is not an effort to lean to the left before the backswing is complete, but the result of straightening the right (trail) leg which pushes the right buttock back and, because the leg straightened up a little, it caused the entire torso to shift slightly to the left, to re-center. Aha. Last week I had been trying to do what you were advocating but doing it wrong. I shifted a tiny bit to the right on the backswing, that inch or so, but then as my backswing was nearing the top, I think what I did was to lean or lurch my torso and hips to the left. This seemed to work, but I quickly found that it too often resulted in my body, especially the upper body, being ahead of the ball as the downswing proceeded, even if I remained tilted a bit to the right, so that at contact the face was still a bit open, causing shots to go to the right. Watching this video and your instructions was an eye opener. When you made your client straighten his right (trail) leg on the backswing, pushing his right cheek back more, it automatically shifted his body back that tiny bit to the left, re-centering it. There was no conscious effort by him to lean his entire body to the left. Do I have it correctly?
Very well summarized 👊
26:30 to 26:48 " At the top of the back swing , you're done moving forward". I love this statement to reduce over sway and promote the re centering technique
You two have the absolute best content. And for 3 years now I have been watching you guys. At first it was all way too much for me, I’m slowly starting to understand what you’re saying in the videos. Hate to have my swing analyzed by your setup!
Little longer vid but worth every minute! Love the live lessons. Thanks guys!
Thanks brother. We try to condense these as much as possible, but we feel there’s a lot of value in seeing the practical applications of the concepts we often talk about. Glad you are enjoying them 🙏🏻👊
Man, that re-centering move is amazing when I get it right. I kept pausing the video & went to the mat & tried it until I got it right. It seemed like learning how to dance & this is something I'm definitely going to practice every day, until I can do it without screwing up. Great video gentlemen!
Great observation! We refer to it all the time a a little dance move. Keep at. It will unlock a lot of doors in your swing👊
I watched this video one time, worked on this one movement, and everything fell into place. I am 6'3" and steep/over the top defined my game. Until now. Thank you.
Love it thanks!
this is so informative and I'm grateful you guys are sharing these dynamic tutorials for free. Truly learning a lot from you guys! Cheers!
Thanks for checking these out, we hope they help!
You guys are the best and most underrated instructors I have seen in 10 years. Just excellent. I hope your name gets out there ... even a bunch of guys on Kornferry could benefit from your methods. A1 guys !
Great video. The figure 8 feeling has changed my swing feeling and massively improved my ball striking. I was always a “turn back weight right, push weight left, let arms follow” type of swing. This has changed that idea/feeling I’ve had all my life. Keep up the great work!
great!
Man, this was awesome.
Thanks for checking it out🙏🏻
Figure 8 hip movement is a game changer. I just videoed my swing and I look like a pro golfer now with some serious shallowing without trying to get shallow. I look smooth and rhythmic now. Can't wait till this snow melts so that I can hit some balls with this new swing. Thank you.
love it. Figure 8 is gold
This is going to change my game. Wow. Thank you
Awesome! We just ask for the customary 3% of your winnings 😜
These live lessons are the best. It's riveting viewing to see effective analysis and correction. Different than the format where a video states a hypothetical issue that can be resolved with xyz drill.
Thanks for sharing.
Woah. Crazy steep, told him to recenter his hips in backswing, first swing he’s perfectly on plane. That was nuts 😂
Sometimes it happens that fast 😊
26:34..."when you get to the top right here...you're done moving forward". Game changer.
Awesome video. Such a subtle change can make a huge difference in his swing. This is something that I can work on as you hit so many good points from the the body positions at setup, and the proper hip movement. It is so eye opening the small amounts of movement involved to recenter the hips. Thanks for posting this lesson as it will help to improve my swing. Cheers!!!
Awesome hearing that it helped! Let us know how it goes👍
Will do… I have been injured since last September and have been reluctant to practice too much. Finally beginning to feel like I can put in the time to make some substantive changes. These setup changes do not require athletic ability and I believe will help me begin the swing on a proper stance. Time to bend over the fence and stop sitting on the edge of a barstool. Thanks again.
U guys are amazing with this technology, really puts it all into perspective. I've stopped watching any other golf videos, cause I'm so visual with technique. Also the after video drills major 👍. I'll let yall know when I break 80, 😆.
Let's go! What's your best round as of today?
@@AthleticMotionGolf Best round is 84, couple times. Watching your videos let's me know how bad my swing was, I wouldn't have ever broke 80 with that swing. Lol Truly appreciate the channel!
Grip, set up & backswing are getting there now. This video really shows how to finish the swing. Can't wait til it all comes together.
This is so good. Thank you guys for putting stuff like this out there.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Phenomenal lesson, thanks for sharing!
man that is me. Good student (and instructors of course!) to be able to make those quick changes. Very cool!!
This video has made all the difference for me. I've added 25-30 yards to my clubs. I went from hitting my 5 iron from 170 to 195 yards.😳 Game changer is an understatement! I have always struggled with par 3's around 180-190 yards but not anymore. My PW has gone from 115-125 to 145, What???
wow!! Thats great news!!!
Finally, been looking for a solution for my over the top.
Seriously the gears system is sooo cool. Brilliant video. Brilliant lesson.... the bend bit at the end ... gold!... on top of the gold of his hip movement.... I can't wait to put some of this into practice. I'll update you when I do. Thanks so much S&M
Glad you enjoyed it!
good stuff fellas, thanks for posting another lesson!
Thanks for watching! Anything you'd like to see covered?
Love it. Amazing stuff. I would love to continue to see these live lessons with different topics like hand path, or pelvis, or bad recentering. All of the top 10 killers in the golf digest article.
This. Is. What. I. Needed. Thank you.
This video might fix my whole life haha. I haven't got to try it yet, but this guys swing looks just like mine. I never thought a move like this could fix the OTT swing so much. Very excited to try this out.
Can’t wait to watch this one as got my name all over it 😜
Hopefully not for long! 😊
I have been struggling for years trying to find away to bring the club from the inside. I went for a club fitting using TrackMan a couple of weeks ago and I am constantly coming over the top by 1 to 2 degrees. My back and sides are always in pain with my current swing and takes too much effort not being recenter like you explain in the video (I am just like the guy in the video). I can hardly wait to get to the range and see the difference it is going to make for me. THIS IS EYE OPENING!
I had really been struggling with the re-centering beginning at arm parallel to top of backswing and into the downswing. I got the concept but could not find a key to initiate the re-centering CONSISTENTLY. Shaun showing that the right leg can straighten at an angle was my key to getting the downswing to come in properly and consistently to impact since I now had a key to feel when I could initiate the re-centering. I was fighting a swing just like this gentleman with a start down of the right shoulder leading the way and resultant steep downswing- a lot a great pulls 40 yards off line!!! This video has been the Ah-ha video to get me to come into the ball along the swing plane. Thank you!!
great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chubbs: "It's all in the hips, it's all in the hips, it's all in the hips!" I love this format, keep up the excellent work!
Haha long live Chubbs
These gears lessons are great. I see why people come to you guys.
Thanks for watching! We hope they help 👊🤓
Brilliant work! This just described my golf problem exactly.
Love it! Let us know how it goes.
Thank you fellas as always
👊🙏🏻
That instruction at 12:05 is GOLD....please do vid,/short clip on hip push...many thanks
Outstanding. I've played 58 years and taught for 41. What he does is what I do. Too much knee bend at address, too much lateral shift on the backswing, no re-centering the hips prior to starting the downswing, and always steep. I always tried to fix the steepness with the arms/wrists or turning of the hips on the downswing which never worked of course.
Question: Stack and tilt stays centered during the backswing. What do you guys think is the primary difference between the two methods from the top of the backswing to impact? Thanks!
Figure 8 movement of the hip gurdle that's gold!
💰😊
A great explanation of the over-the-top move and remedy. Thank you!!
Worth watching in understanding hip movements! Ty! Ty!
I've just learned so much and the videos not even over yet. Great job.
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words🙏🏻💯
Creating number 8 with hip really helping me how to move the hip to create the effortless feel. I combine with Justin Rose drill, now I can feel the swing release.
Great Video. Using that linebacker analogy was great. As a former DB/LB that puts alot in perspective.
Great video again. Would love to see the same type of video with a driver. Thanks for the awesome content.
It’s the same movements but no one is going to learn much of anything like this with a driver in their hands.
Absolutely staggering
Awesome! I’m still working my first ilesson with Shaun and this is just what I needed.
Great!!!
Excellent. Thank you
Mike and Shawn, another great video showing how you move your body affects the swing plane! Could you do one showing how the plane of the arm triangle changes through the swing? I think that would be very helpful for people looking for a “feel” to shallow the plane on the downswing.
Went to range and tried the figure 8 feeling and the difference in strike was incredible! I'm still casting some what but the marked improvement. Thanks for the vid guys!
Great to hear!!!! Keep working on it :)
What a great video!!
Interested to watch more of these. I have a tendency to keep reverting back to casting and early extension.
GREAT work guys!! Wish I could get over there to see you two!
Best video so far, need more of these videos like this, well done guys
More are on the way👊
Good stuff, period!
Thanks
Thanks for checking it out!
Another brilliant video gents, cant wait to get to the practice range to try it.
Let us know how it goes!!!
Superb…….also using the wall drill for the stance (I’ve been trying to bend over that bloody fence for 9 months )is so simple but genius
Thanks!!!
Wow, pretty amazing. I’m going to try this and if it works, I’m going to name my next kid (boy or girl) Gears. Thanks for posting!
Really?! Not Shaun or Mike????? 😆
Brilliant guys
Love live lessons. Thanks much.
Great! We will be posting more of these going forward
Thank you sooooo much!!
I want to add this.....the figure 8 hip movement is so awesome! Before this, on a video, I learned the figure 8 move with the arms. Perhaps, a figure 8 with the hips, auto corrects the arms(?) Anyway, I am going to be aware of both figure 8's 🥴
Such an impressive breakdown of how you guys go about diagnosing and fixing a fault. I, myself, have this exact same fault so it was eye opening for me. Too bad you guys coach in Georgia and not So-Cal 😩. Great lesson.

Fantastic video, a critical move explained effortlessly, thanks
Thanks so much!
As someone who has struggled endlessly with a over the top move, and possibly from some of the same issues you addressed in this video... do you like the feeling of swinging out towards the ball during transition? Or prefer more a feeling of arms lowering. The feel of swinging out is more natural for me.. but then I can leave shots way out to the right, and even still pull them with such a over the top move. Thanks for any feed back.
Excellent presentation. Wish I could arrange a few in person lessons.
This was awesome!
Incredible what I have learned from your vids. Thanks you.
Thank you!!! Glad its helped you
The hips don't lie. 👍
At what point do you start turning your right hip (for a right handed person) back towards the target during your recent er? Great vids! The previous live lesson where the student was told to keep his weight on his right side longer had me wondering. Thanks for all you do!
When the club is nearing the top of backswing 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video as always appreciate your expertise
Guys. Firstly, these are amazing and I hope for more live lessons. So powerful!
Secondly, do you mind explaining when the unweighting or loading of the lead foot happens ready to push off of like Rory? Is this at the recenter of the pelvis or after?
Thank you!
Great video!!! Keep the videos coming guys they are so helpful! What you are teaching here applies to driver swing as well?
Hi Guys One of your best. I think the notion of re centering the hips before transition is something that was not taught to me over man many years by many "topline golf coaches".Would i be right in saying that the opposite to this would be premature hip rotation, which also promotes over the top swings.Also the figure 8 movement of the hips/pelvis might cause a little physical discomfort at first. Am right.
You're exactly right, getting it done before the downswing is a big deal. Yes on the premature hip rotation, see it every week. As far as discomfort goes, you could be over doing the "8". It's more subtle than guys realize when first trying it.
This is one video I can identify with. The figure eight movement is something I will give a try.
Let us know how it goes!!
Awesome!
awesome. i got so many darn upper body check points and swing thoughts...wonder if i could just forget them all and focus strictly on lower body re-center/figure 8. btw, knowing we should always work on the opposite extremes, is it possible to recenter "too much"?
You can't be too "back to center", but you can over shoot the center and get too far forward. That make sense?
and btw.. outstanding instruction.
Wow I live here I’ll be coming to see ya!
Come on👊
Amazing thank You guys
I’ll see what happens tomorrow on the range but I think this is a “ha” moment for me too.. at least I don’t see the over the top movement when I practice with a mat at home at all! Fingers crossed
