- You see a lot on TV about rotation to gain more distance with your driver. And, yes, rotation is a speed generator. However, if you don't understand the basic lever system and how the L-to-L works, you'll never hit the ball very far.
Work on the L-to-L with your right foot back and build the foundation for generating speed with your driver.

Without naming him, Mike takes a real jab at G Gankas methods here. I had to laugh. As a 62 year-old, I can't swing like GG's youngsters or even come close. Mike's method makes a lot more sense for the majority of us, I think. On the other hand, I still point to other lessons where Mike explains to an LPGA player, Margarita, that the "hands do nothing through the impact position". Mike, I am having a hard time reconciling that lesson to the L swing imperatives.
It's annoyed me for a long while that commentators/analysts continually talk about players with strong grip just rotating hard as they want left, while dragging handle through. It's so obvious that you couldn't generate any club head speed that way. But that's just the tip of the iceberg with the nonsense that they talk!
If you are reading this comment, save yourself the trouble and just unsubscribe from pretty much anyone else. This guy's a genius. Padraig Harrington's channel is a distant second, though...
Why on earth would you downvote this video?
Having been away for over a year, I had to return to dump the trash I had listened to during my hiatus and refresh my swing thoughts to your more commons sense approach. Some of the teachers would hit on a point here and there but the whole motion was too mechanical and driven by having to attain many defined positions during the swing to get it right. I ended up taking a point here and a point there that made sense to me and realized my compilation was very familiar...It was Mike Malaska golf. So, I return having relearned simple solutions to a complex problem almost always work more effectively and efficiently. Thank you for that.
About time Mike, someone highlighted the years of poor swing explanation or just copying poor terminology
thanks so much sir, retired now, 40 plus years, in the elevator trade, we use our body so much, it tears us down, sir thank you
Hmm interesting how he argues that you don’t just rotate and demonstrates dragging the club around. I have never seen any quality instructors teach anything resembling that. However if the tension levels are low in the hands and arms and the pivot of the body is done correctly the club releases and squares itself due to many physics principles to complex to explain here. It seems to me that learning to pivot the club with the hands and arms requires more timing and is redundant.
I actually laughed three 3x at the demonstration of modern You Tube rotation videos.
Sorry Mike. You are wrong. I do that stupid swing which is just a turn/spin. I can show you if you like. I carry the ball a whopping 190 yards with it, usually at a 45 degree angle right off the club face and out of bounds/lost.
Listening to this legend is like listening to 200 years of golf teaching!! So much experience.
At the
I love these videos. Short and one point at a time.
Mike, you are actually helping my tennis game as much as my golf game. Your videos are really great and I love your formula focusing on feel and simplicity.
That was my swing for the first two and a half years of my three year golf career. The last six months have been bliss. It was the original L2L vid that did it. Thanks and if you’re ever in Vegas....
Mike, thanks, I'm a new subscriber. Great video. It never made sense to me that speed and distance comes from the "big muscles". I'm glad that you showed that the arms need to swing fast to hit the ball long. I'll keep watching.
I'm sure that you've been told this many times but you have a gift for explaining what's going on in the golf swing! Thanx
Bravo Mr. Mike !
Malaska golf instruction is what every golfer needs. Wish he had clinics in S. FL.
Thx for this tip Mike. It's very helpful.
