Why 85% of GOLFERS are INCONSISTENT!!

- In today’s lesson I talk about what I believe 85% of golfers struggle with! Even elite golfers and tour players work hard on avoiding this “Death Move!” ☠️
It’s called the BLOCKING PATTERN and the crazy thing is that golfers are falling into this trap with the best intention!!! We’ve all been told to use our BODY more in the golf swing!! You’re using your ARMS too much!! You have to use your body more!! We’ve all heard it!
Heck, I know a lot of you have probably been told to get more open, or to use your hips more in golf lessons too. If you’re anything like me, the more I try to use my body the worse I hit it and the more inconsistently I play!
Its not that the body doesn’t play a VITAL ROLE. It does, but as a transporter and SUPPORTER of the ARMS! If you’re DRIVING woth the BODY, like most golfers, you’re BLOCKING with the body too!! This video dispels the myth that golfers swing with their arms too much!!
You SIMPLY swing the golf club freely with the ARMS with the SUPPORT of a DYNAMIC body motion. You do that and you’re going to hit the ball further, and with less effort than you ever have before!
I hope you enjoy the video!
Get after it!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻

Andrew - I've watched a lot of your videos, and for me, this one is NUMERO UNO! Explains a lot about my swing flaw, e.g. early extension, toe hits, duck hooks, etc. This one is the best!
Fantastic Phil! It’s not as complicated as everyone ‘wants’ to make it!! We all have a better version within us as golfers. It’s usually a change in ‘concept’ that makes the biggest difference NOT filling your head with multiple swing thoughts.

Hello Coach A,
We played a round of golf on a rather tough course this morning. It was my first opportunity to apply your instructional techniques to my swing on a course. I narrowed my stance by one shoe width on all shots. It made a big difference to free up my hip movement. I tried to get a good shoulder and torso turn, while loading my wrists to 90* at the top of my natural backswing. Then I let my arms drop while letting my wrists and body unwind naturally through the ball to the top of my swing. You could hear the great ball strike contact. I have never struck and driven the ball this consistently. Almost every shot had a dead-on straight ball flight. I am very happy to report that I did not Block a single shot! I literally only had three bad contact swings all day. After each, I immediately knew what I did wrong.
It was the best that I have struck the ball in a long, long time.
Thank you, Thank YOU, THANK YOU!
That’s so awesome!! Super happy that the videos have helped. Keep up the great work! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Hello Coach A,
I literally just stumbled upon your videos and channel. Yes, I unfortunately Block a driver or two a round; mostly on the back 9 when I begin to become physically and mostly mentally tired. Your explanation is extremely helpful to me. Thank You!
I've given your videos a big thumbs up and I just subscribed to your channel.

Thanks Jack! Welcome aboard!

Excellent video . Exactly what I was doing wrong.Spinning out was absolutely killing my distance. You had mentioned some of these things in earlier videos. Been practicing arms moving faster without spinning out . Light bulb went off for me and also not tensing up. Thanks for the help. Have gone from weak 200 yard drives to 230 245 range
Wow!! That’s some serious gains. Well done Michael. Spread the word!!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
When I take a practice swing while using my body it feels good, I brush the grass and the feel I get is that I hit the ball square, but the actual swing a lot of shots are are hooks, fats, thins, slices, I shoot in the high 80's ... I'm going to give this a try. Thanks for the tips!
Try your best to put that great practice swing ‘on the ball!’ For most, the golf ball changes things - More tension, more concern for the outcome, a hit reflex and a lack of follow through altogether ensue!!
Thanks for watching! Best, A. ⛳️🏌️♂️
Thank you, I needed this. At 64 years old I cannot reproduce what many online instructors ask to do with body movements. I was making more mistakes. I can focus on this simpler sequence.
That’s great Rudy, get after it!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Great video Andrew, love your content 👌
Thank you sir!! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
At 59 years old and after 25 years of playing I have been a single figure golfer for about the last 20 years, but inconsistent as I definitely “stood up” at impact trying to open my hips.
Your “swing the arms vertically and keep the body back” move has made my game not only more consistent but much simpler and easier on my aging back. Thanks so much from Sydney Australia 👍👍👍
Brett that’s awesome mate!! Was in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide many years ago with a couple of Tour Players I was coaching! One of the best trips of my life. Phenomenal people, great food, great golf. If it wasn’t so bloody far under I’d be living there. So glad the vids have helped! Love hearing that. Best, A. 🇦🇺🇬🇧🏌️♂️⛳️
Another great video Andrew. Would you consider a lesson on fairway woods?
It’s on the list! Best, A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
enjoyed meeting you today. keep up the good, distinct content
Thank you sir!! It was a pleasure meeting you. Best, A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Brilliant instruction as per usual. Definitely deserve more subscribers ☘️🇮🇪🏴👍
Thank you sir!! Appreciate the kind words! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🇬🇧😎
Great vision again.i have a significant back problem and i have found your part about the hips is an ongoing issue for me. Thanks again for your instruction I have benefited greatly from it.
I’m so glad to hear that Mark!!
Best, A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Great info, feeling like my hips are facing the golf ball at impact has helped me make better contact. I would like to see more information about how the hands work down in transition. I really struggle to feel this part of the swing. Thank you.
I talk about this a lot on my channel! Feel free to check out some more videos. The role of the arms is critical as is proficient body dynamics. Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Great video! The two "feels" that work for me is 1) aiming at the right/inside quadrant of the golf ball during the downswing (keeps me from spinning) and 2) a tension free swing that releases the club. Maybe this will help some of your viewers.
You gotta find what works best for you!! I’m glad you have!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Thanks. Got an online lesson somewhere else recently where opening up the hips earlier was a thing for me. The mechanics make sense (I tend to loose my wrist flexion in the downswing and open up the clubface a bit too much, so it would arguably help me to square up the clubface) I know I can separate my hips from my torso, but I cannot time it correctly for the love of god. The feel tip I got "let your hands exit to the left" just make me turn my shoulders too much. If I concentrate on the feel of keeping my wrists 'dead' in the downswing the results are usually better (I know wrists need to be active, but mine were OVERactive for 20 years)
You have to find what works best for you!! Best advice is to keep things simple. Remember the ball flight is the greatest instructor in the world. If what you’re working on isn’t effecting positive change with regard to contact, accuracy and/or distance then it’s window dressing!
Thanks for the comment.
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
took a lil while but I finally managed to freeze frame the downswing at parallel(1:07). The position is what you need: shaft perfect on the target line with right elbow lower than the left elbow. He practices what he preaches !.
A work in progress!! Best, A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Tension is a killer. I discovered I tighten muscles in arms and shoulders hitting pitches, chips and even putts. Takes a lot of focus to keep muscles soft and don't anticipate a "hit".
It does take focus but it makes a huge difference!! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Great video Andrew. I noticed you have a Momentus swing trainer. I have one to but never really used it. Would you recommend using it regularly, and if so, what does it really do? Thanks.
The molded grip and swing weight is great for feeling angular momentum. Highly recommend in conjunction with a SwingGyde! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
I liked the idea of brushing the grass ahead of the ball. I'll tend to hit at it and when i do its never pure alittle fat alittle thin you know! Coach how are you loven those new Ping irons?
I love my Pings!!! ♥️
Great video, I used to hit the ball much longer in my 30's and 40's 280 to 300 at sea level with my driver and I have lost about 30 yards and I am now 56 yrs old. I video taped my swing and this is what has happened to me. Some of the problem was I lost some flexibility and can't hit the same positions I used to. Appreciate the info.
This approach is going to be a game changer for you!! More speed with less effort and back pain! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Hey Andrew great video can you do another video on generating more distance with the driver without early extending and staying in balance, cheers
I’ll be doing more Driver videos moving forward. Thanks for the idea. Can’t promise when but I’ll get to it.
Best, A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Don't know if you have a trackman, but would be great for us to see the ball flight for all your shots.
Will definitely break out the launch monitor as well as Hack Motion on occasion! Cheers! A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
hey Andrew, quick question. I understand the majority-arms and hands philosophy, and keeping body closed to target for as long as possible. how does this marry with ball then turf contact, do you just preset weight on lead side or advocate a weight shift - any video on that?
Multiple reasons for low point issues. Hope this helps, understanding the role of the arms is imperative. It’s not just about re-centering! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
czcams.com/video/aUovXHyj-CM/video.htmlsi=ctI9gFMafFZ5Ip-f
How close to your body should your hands be when actually hitting the ball? Is there a reference point? Thank you.
A fist width from your lead thigh is a good visual cue for the iron. A little more with the woods. Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Great stuff a! I’m excited to work on this stuff!
That’s great! Get after it!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
