    Guys! I absolutely love this channel and the level of detail you go into in your videos. What I would like to put out there as a bigger/stiffer (ex sports and now age against me) player is, whilst it’s great and important that you demonstrate how these feels are mapped with an elite golfer, it does sometimes make it hard to relate when these moves seemingly come easy to a lighter, more agile player. It would be great to see the journey of someone of a more ‘average’ level of golf go through these sequences and then demonstrate tangible results. Not a hater and love the content. Just think it would appeal to the masses if we feel we can also do these rapid changes without being a D1 golfer 😊

    I came across this video because of the title and was blown away with this information. I have always heard to raise your arms in the backswing for the 25 years I have been playing bad golf. The next day I stepped out into the field beside my house to try this swing technique out. I could only use a Gap & PW because of the length of the field. After working slowly with this swing technique to begin with, I hit the 1st ball with about 60% effort 100 Yds straight to my target. As I worked up to 80% & 100% swings, I was blown away at how effortless this swing was and how much more accurate the ball flight was. So the next day I had to get to the driving range and see how this worked with full swings for all of my clubs.
    I spent 2 hours on the driving range and I found out that this swing technique works great with all of my clubs. I was striking the balls with less effort and getting 10 - 20 yards more distance with each club. And most all of the shots were landing so close to my target. My driver shots were 20 yards longer and much more straighter. I couldn't believe the results I was getting. I will be heading to the course in a few days to try this out.
    I am a mid handi-capper with a driver swing speed around 95, so I'm always trying to improve my game. This swing technique could really be what I needed!

      I like the pacing so I don’t have to hit pause after each instruction. I can get a few practice swings in while you are elaborating. Any faster and I would have to put down the club, walk to the phone and pause. Keep it as is. The pros can just run it at 2x speed. 20 minutes is not too long for a new concept.

      This taught me as well. I think a lot of frustration golfers have trying to figure the Elite swing maps are loading heavy in backswing. I found if I loaded heavy it was automatically gonna be a pull down on downswing. Where is that early load suppose to go at the top? It has to be no load backswing then load on downswing. I went from a 5-7 handicap to whipping some serious ass.

    Hogan said (1940) he wanted he wanted to get the' driver parallel to the ground sooner' for a gradual incline followed by a levelish through swing before rising into the finish. I love how you qualified this point with the ax analogy. His more levelish bswing path evinced a more SUSTAINED horizontal vector --compared with your modeling--which ultimately matched up (through transition) with his LOW inside right ankle (per eversion) which is arguably THE cornerstone of his singular (ELITE) motion. It's unfortunate that GOATA so glibly pontificates as to optimal (ELITE) employment of anatomy...per their fetish of a HIGH INSIDE ANKLE. In general, the multiplanar spring matrices in the foot are recipients of forces that devolve upon the foot(from above) in such a way that the outer part is tasked with a stabilizing agency and is the lowest part of the foot. The inner, higher part which is the MOBILIZING element will 'fall' into place as it is pressed into service. My tiresome sermon ties into your theme of 'direction of force' which inextricably is linked to structure. Thanks for providing a forum for eccentrics like myself to chime in! I'm titilated to take in such depth of content. GODDABLESS!

    This is awesome. I have been doing some of this naturally following your other tips, but a few questions I have is
    a) how much (if at all) do we want to feel like we are holding onto the face or delaying the release (maybe I mean keep stable)
    b) are we also swinging the center of mass the same going forward as we do the level hit, similar to how we were throwing it towards the camera in the backswing?

    Complicated but Very interesting concept. Came across this after a poor round after backswing rotation issues. Tried this backwards force motion at home and seemed to unlock the beast with my foam balls. By arms & body moving more in the upward pressure, my body is struggling to move without tension in muscle & hips. Moving level force back & forward, I feel lot more loose on backswing & quicker speed on the downswing.

    My last comment may have sounded like I don't agree with the way you are saying to swing, but I actually agree with you here. I have been working on this same thing in my own swing.
    I just hear some of these comments made in videos sometimes, and the way it is said just isn't actually right, but you are right. If you are swinging down, you have to be careful not to hit the ground in the down swing.

      The hit will be perpendicular to the spine for hitters. The more a player drops the more this happens in the swing

    Under playing pressure l couldnt get the club back far enough to add trail side throw. I just went back to my spinout low pull hook.
    I'm a believer but need a drill to identify when l block the back swing. Next I'll try to focus on the bounce back when the club reaches maximum height to see if that works under game pressure.
    If there is another drill to achieve that position I'm all ears.

  • @tomn5188
    @tomn5188 Před 3 měsíci +1

    When showing how to apply lateral force in the backswing you advise TJ to rotate and then move the COM (or head of the axe) laterally but in the forward swing your focus appears to be on an initial level movement of the arms (rather than the COM/axe head) and letting the body respond/support the motion. In the event that I have this right - should we focus on applying force to the COM in the forward swing as well. Seems to me that this would help the club whip through impact. ?????

    • @elitegolfschools
      @elitegolfschools  Před 2 měsíci

      Yes great question! And most definitely we need to apply force in the COM of the club through the strike. Just be mindful of directionality of force when doing so ❤

    @593summersound Před 3 měsíci

    Very interesting concept and it makes good sense. The forward swing makes more sense...easier to see. But how are you applying horizontal force in the backswing? When you told TJ to shoot force straight at you, he did that with no rotation, so the energy had to come from the shoulders/arms, right? otherwise he'd fall forward. When you told him to turn his midline and then shoot energy back to the camera, where was the force energy coming from? Chest? Shoulders/arms? TJ reacted like it was a very different feel, so I'm really curious. Still trying to spiral up and away and use the ribs and chest to power the arms going back. Thanks for the help--love your content!

    • @elitegolfschools
      @elitegolfschools  Před 3 měsíci +2

      Oh man, not exactly a simple answer to type out. In short, the trail wrist works from extension to flexion through the strike, which leverages the clubhead “behind” the arms in transition, and shoots the clubhead “in front” of the arms into finish 👍

  • @Bluedolphin53
    @Bluedolphin53 Před 3 měsíci +1

    When you talk about shoulder flexion causing the arms to rise, does the scapula rise as well? Or does the scapula stay down in a neutral position and just the arms go up?

    Very Interesting Video. Thank you. If you lower the torso rather than the arms, why wouldn’t you assume that lowered position through out. The answer I guess is you’re not using the ground. But if you’re using the ground on the through swing I.e. pushing up & away, wouldn’t you have to lower your arms?

  • @gighilton
    @gighilton Před 2 měsíci

    Good video, but questions for sure. In all swings from DL, You see arms rise above the shaft plan line if marked on video... So from that angle with 2 D camera you see a lift, or rise of the arms to the top. Would you agree? If so, then they must lower back to the shaft plane prior to impact for solid contact. It appears that you suggest to lower the body, thus the sternum, and NOT lower the arms, then the concept is to direct lateral force forward... I get that, but lowering the body is an alternate way of lowering the arms or getting the arms on the shaft plane, and to measure body lowering seems problematic. Any thoughts on this?

    • @elitegolfschools
      @elitegolfschools  Před 2 měsíci

      Yep! Love those thoughts! And truly, there is going to be some amount of extension in the shoulders through the hit.
