The arms just drop the club down the body turns it, is probably the best golf advice I've ever received and it just totally opened my eyes on things. Thank you
Glad to hear you found the video helpful.
All the best, Adam
I was just about to write the same comment. That shift in mindset is key!
Definitely, the feeling for me of dropping arms to initiate the downswing as opposed to shifting weight has had an immense impact on ball striking, it prevents me from sliding and allows my hands to get in front of the body.
This is the BEST video I've seen on Dropping into the slot. And believe me I've seen just about every video on this topic.
Thanks John, glad you found it helpful.
Best, Adam
@@Scratchgolfacademy thank you very much!
This is the only slot video that has ever resonated with me.
Glad you found it helpful!
Best, adam
Solid video! It is so amazing how all professional golfers swing so uniquely, while all getting that club back to square for impact!
Thanks Brandon,
Yes, ultimately impact is what counts.
Best, Adam
It’s true Adam, you break things down so well I can work m one piece at a time. Thank you for your clarity and keeping it real
Thanks for the comment Lora.
All the best, Adam
Adam thank you very much. I struggled many rounds with hooking/ snap hooking the ball, just realized that it may be due to the fact that right arm was not unfolding in time and coming into impact high, over the top with a closed face, worst type of shot. The body keeps rotating but if arms don't lower, there is a serious issue with direction control. If the body does not rotate properly and right arm unfolds, the dreaded hit behind the ball is the result. Since watching your video, I am working on the blending of the body rotation and the right arm unfold (dynamic, as you mentioned). Can't wait to try it on the course, appreciate the expert video!
Thanks for the comment Claudio.
All the best, Adam
Amazing, I’ve started doing the “pretend your snapping a towel” motion as part of my pre-shot routine. Found it to be a huge help!
Glad to hear it Eric!
All the best, Adam
I recently purchased the Dewiz and it confirmed what I had long known, I have an over the top swing. I've watched loads of videos and it's not helped at all. Until I found this one. This is the first time I've ever been able to say this about a golf tutorial but this advice is game changing. Baby draws with all clubs, mostly straight (some small hooks) and about 10% longer with every club. And that's only the first session! I know I babe a lot more to do because it has only partially fixed the over the top swing according to my Dewiz.
Thanks AB. Been really struggling with an over the top swing and this is the best instruction I've seen on CZcams to sort it out!
Thanks for the comment.
All the best, Adam
This is the simplest explanation and drill to shallow the club I have watched, I'm looking forward to trying this out and ingraining it into my swing. Many thanks
Thanks Phil, glad you liked the video.
Best, Adam
Love this Adam. I applied as best i could in practice for a while and out today on course and strike was soooo good. Keep up good work and many thanks.
Declan,
Thanks for the comment.
All the best, Adam
Simple yet very well-explained, great details of right arm angles and dynamics !
Thanks Wilson.
All the best, Adam
Having watched this and many other instructional videos by Adam it is obvious why he was instructor of the year multiple times. This video and others have a great knack of describing the feel and incremental steps you can take to develop a better golf swing without becoming too mechanical. Thank you.
Thanks very much Dave.
All the best, Adam
Perfect ty Adam,,, the key to teaching is being understood and you do it very very well ty again!!!
Thanks very much Kevin.
Best, Adam
Hey Adam fantastic drills and teaching points. You've helped my game enormously. Big thanks!
Thanks Paul, glad to hear it.
All the best, Adam
Adam this was great! I have been struggling with my club path with my longer clubs, and the idea of snapping the towel helped a ton! Much more consistent and going longer
Glad to hear it Ryan.
All the best, Adam
I know this is an old video but you're my go to when im having issues, another winner in my book
Thanks John, glad you found it helpful
Very well explained Adam.
Definitely going to practice this.
Thanks for all your great videos. They're extremely helpful and informative. You are very gifted at teaching this game!
Thanks for the kind comment Mike.
All the best, Adam
Absolutely excellent. Great info and drill. Thanks. You're the man.
Thanks very much Jeffrey.
All the best, Adam
Another great video Adam , your drills are very helpful 👍🏌️♀️⛳️
Thanks, glad you liked it.
All the best, Adam
IMO, Adam's way of explanation is the best I have ever seen. He keeps it 'real'...allowing you to incorporate the concept rather than the specific technique into your game. My swing is an eclectic mix of Gary Edwin, Freddie Couples, Bryson de Chambeau and remnants of Jim Furyk. I am striking the ball better today than I did when I played seriously, thanks to the simplicity that Adam brings. Thanks for all the content mate!
Thanks very much for the comment, and glad you are playing better.
Best, Adam
Simple instruction but packed with some very important technical points 👍
Thanks very much.
Best, Adam
Excellent video. I agree this is the most intuitive instruction I have seen regarding this issue.
Thanks very much Sash.
Best, Adam
Best explanation I‘ve seen! What a great video on how to drop it into the slot/ coming from the inside! Good Job and thank you!
Thanks very much!
All the best, Adam
"I hit that a little thin and I don't even care." My sentiments exactly! If it's a good result, go make the putt and be glad for the opportunity. Not every shot will be perfect but, thanks to Adam, I'm enjoying my results more. Cheers!
Thanks for the comment James.
Best, Adam
Thank you that is very descriptive, gives me an understanding that gives me something to work towards to unravel the "enigma" that is golf. Thank you. (Neil)
Hope you make good progress Neil.
Best, Adam
Opened my mind with this drill, super consistent ball striking, hitting late and great ball flight. Thanks and love your content.
Glad it went well for you Frank
All the best, Adam
New fan from South Africa here! I have watched many golf videos and this one has instantaneously improved my consistency AND distance! Simple to understand and implement. I can't thank you enough!
thanks for the comment Silas.
All the best, Adam
Wow... great tip. I've been battling the right elbow for years and years. Thanks for posting!!
Thanks, glad you found it helpful Martin.
Best, Adam
As usual great information and teaching. This is definitely my biggest hurdle. Strike the ball well for a few then fat and thin, etc etc. Looking forward to spending more time on getting into the correct slot on a more consistent basis. Thanks Adam!
Thanks for the comment Patrick.
Best, Adam
Excellent common sense video, explained in laymen's terms, TY. I will watch this everytime before I go play a round or driving range session. Quite a key move
Thanks for the comment Steven.
All the best, Adam
Dear Adam, you have a new fan in Germany. During the lockdown i have time to watch a lot of golfvideos and i´m really excited about yours: Clear structure and language, one topic, 2 or 3 Keypoints with the associated drills. And the most important thing: The tips to implement the new motions, with your practical knowledge of hunderts of lessons. Love it, thanks a lot.
Thanks for the note Markus, and best of luck with your game.
Adam
Exactly what I felt the other day. Nice to have confirmation.
Glad you liked the video Ben
Best, Adam
Thanks Adam. Great App. Already downloaded my free trial on my phone. Excellent content and videos.
Thanks Ted.
All the best, Adam
This video plus the driver video hitting from the inside are great. I’ve used Mike Austin swing for several years and at 71 years old I play blues and the whites and usually break 80. But after getting the 7 iron lag club last week and struggled through practice with it some light bulbs went on and especially with wedges. I ordered the Lag driver wedge combo yesterday. My buddies are ordering them also. It works and even though there’s a money back 30 day deal. I’m keeping mine. Thanks Adam.
Thanks Kirk, and glad you are seeing progress.
Glad you like the LagShot products. I agree, they are great to keep going back to, and sort of clear the mind.
All the best, Adam
Brilliant Adam, this is by far the biggest struggle I have with my swing. Next time I am in Fort Myers I have the goal of getting an in-person lesson. When i do the drills and practice, I see immediate benefits. You are by far my favorite golf instructor!
Thanks very much, and I hope we can get together sometime, I'm in north Naples.
All the best, Adam
Adam ,Our practice range is still closed because of Covid-19 . So I've been working on this with air swings and can tell you for me, this swing tip has worked miracles for this 76 year old golf game. The passion for playing this great game has been rejuvenated, a huge thank you. A golfnut !!!
Very glad to hear it Ken!
All the best, Adam
Thanks Adam, mate you have outdone yourself to day.All the years and your dvd's and videos are top shelf,but this exercise with dropping in slot is by far the best,its so simple yet I could not get in slot too much concentration on ball .all I had to do was straighten right arm.
rick
Thanks very much for the comment Rick.
All the best, Adam
Adam, have been struggling with my coach on exactly this. Needed a different viewpoint and always look for you. Thanks for your consistently great content.
Thanks for the note Don
All the best, Adam
Watched your Master Series and changed my game. I've added the feeling of reaching down and adding wrist cock and I've added yardage, distance and accuracy as my handicap keeps dropping. 👍
Glad to hear it Bob, and thanks for the comment.
All the best, Adam
Awesome. Worked on this today. It helps alot. Have Fun....You're golfing and not at work!
Glad you liked the video Neal.
Best, Adam
I'll give it a go! Thanks for explaining!!
Best of luck with it John.
Thanks, Adam
Target is the target! I love this thought as it gets my mind away from my hands!
Glad to hear it Thomas, hope you make good progress
All the best, Adam
Great tip .. never thought of it like that.
Glad you found it helpful Aamir
All the best, Adam
Best video I've ever watched. Helped me more than any other. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment Rick! Glad you found it helpful
All the best, Adam
I genuinely LOVE you Mr. Bazellgette ❤️❤️Not all heroes wear capes 🙌
Thanks Jay, glad you find the videos helpful
Best, Adam
I started to do this instinctively and just felt like I was leaving the hands behind a little bit. This has helped massively with explaining the mechanics of it so thanks Adam! Although my wife did question what I was doing flinging a towel around the lounge 😂😂
Wives tend (with some justification) to do that.
All the best, Adam
Thanks Adam, at 75 years old i'd lost some distance as you would expect but using your drills i've gotten at least half the lost distance back. keep them coming they are the best i've seen on the internet.
Thanks Robert, and glad you are hitting it farther,
All the best, Adam
Could be the most important video out there. Thanks Adam.
Thanks for the comment.
All the best, Adam
Great video that really helped me out by straightening my right arm sooner on the downswing. I got immediate good results. Thanks
Thanks Steven, glad to hear it.
Best, Adam
Brilliant golf instructional video Bazalgette! Two years ago, I first watched & liked this CZcams video and recently watched again with the light bulb in my brain shining like a disco ball! At top of my backswing with wrists cocked I make a conscientious effort to thrust my right elbow toward my waist then let the clubface drop vigorously which leads my body to subconsciously follow through the entire swing. This has improved my ball striking to the point I often get accused of being a good golfer! You're a genius golf maestro Adam!!
Very kind of you Matt. Glad you've made progress!
Hi Adam, this is interesting advice as I always thought that the golf swing was about NOT using your arms in the swing i.e passive rather than active manner
Derek,
Thanks. Body still the genesis of the movement, but this might help.
Best, Adam
Amazing. I finally get it. Amazing results. Hinging the club head up to the top with my left wrist, soft folding right arm, and of course shoulders rotate down too. Unfolding the right arm forcefully from the top, soft left hand. The body responds naturally. And, allowing the body to square the club face up by getting the left shoulder back out of the way. Everything opens to the target. Everything that’s in motion stays in motion. I just tell myself left, right, left.
Glad you've been able to make progress Jeffrey.
All the best, Adam
Adam I honestly can't thank you enough for this video. I tried the straightening of the right arm today on the downswing today on course and I was flushing my irons. I've never seen anyone explain how to plane an iron that simply before in my life. I always thought getting into the slot was only something tour players could aspire to. You've restored my faith/love in this great game!.
Very glad to hear it Timothy, and thanks for the comment
All the best, Adam
Thank you Adam for your slot explanation and pro examples. I can only confirm what other reviewers have written. a truly eye opening video with a method to actually swing into the slot. Your additonal point of the slot occurring at pants level is another eye opener versus attempting to drop the shaft way behind the torso at the start of the downswing. thanks again.
Steve
Thanks for the comment Steve
All the best, Adam
Adam, this is a fantastic video. Thank you, thank you!
Glad you found it helpful Mark
Thanks, Adam - I've been playing on and off for a number of years and suffered from the dreaded 'over the top' - exactly as you describe in attacking the ball and using power through shoulders and arms to slash across. It's so hard to get out of the habit after doing it wrong for such a long time but lessons like this and the 'Full Swing Master Series' I bought a while back are great reference points to help along this journey; great fundamentals!
Thanks for the note John, and best of luck.
Adam
This video even tho watched before just clicked. I get the feel now. Thank you
Glad to hear it Brad.
All the best, Adam
Adam, Thank you. It has been three years since you posted this video and I wish I had seen it three years ago! All I have to do to flush my shots is think about the hammer move and properly load my hands without tension and then hammer down. It's about the hammer move. I can believe how easy it is and how it simplifies the swing.
Glad you found the video helpful
This is one very, very good video. I saw my swing on a launch monitor video today and, of course, wasn’t pleased as I watched that club moving too “out” on the way down, being carried outward by my turn. Although I’m a very straight hitter, it’s clearly affecting my angle of attack and costing me clubhead speed. I will be trying this drill today.
Thanks Bernard, and hope you make good progress
Best, Adam
Excellent demo of what the dropping of the arms looks like.
Thanks Frank
When the student is ready the teacher will appear. I have been incorporating the three tap behind me drill into my practice from your Golf IQ Master Series but this video really ties it all together. I saw immediate results at the driving range. You are an excellent instructor.
Thanks Frank, and g;ad you are making progress
All the best, Adam
@@Scratchgolfacademy , what is the "three tap drill"?
Great insight Adam...that slot is so key. I call it keeping your chicken wing tucked in. Helps me remember to keep that right elbow close to body...i.e. slotted. Another great tip...
Glad you found it helpful.
Best, Adam
Thanks Adam great drill
Thanks Brad.
Best, Adam
Excellent drill,thanks
Thanks Trevor.
All the best, Adam
Best drill I’ve had yet ! Thank you
Glad you found it helpful
Harvey Penick taught that same drill and he teaches you to let the left heel drop as the upper arms to drop into the slot. It has helped me no end and you just verified it. You are in great company with Mr Penick.
I agree, that's great company.
Thanks Paul
Adam....been trying to develop the "slot" move for over 3 months now. Your drill at 7:15 REALLY helped me understand and ingrain it.
BTW....I just received my LagShot 7 iron and do that drill CONSTANTLY with that club. Not only does it get me into the slot but my hips clear and my left hand suppinates NATURALLY.
Because of the weight of the LagShot in this drill, I now have the forearms of a gorilla. Thanks for all you do !
Thanks Larry, and glad you’re making progress
All the best, Adam
Adam.....Ive been trying to incorporate this move into my swing for 3 minths. Haven't been successful until you explained and showed it.
I just received my LagShot 7 iron. Using that club and the drill at 7:15 allows my hips to clear and my left hand to rotate NATURALLY !
Thanks for all you provide !
Thanks for the note Larry, and glad you’re seeing improvement.
Best, Adam
Just watched the video in the carpark next to my local range... Time to have a go! Thanks again Adam, awesome content as always!
Thanks very much Kirk.
Best, Adam
Easy to see why you have some many accolades, you are a great coach!
Thanks very much Aaron
Best, Adam
Ran across this video two days ago. Played 18 holes with some buddies. Made a noticeable difference in my ball striking! I didn't even do the drills. Just incorporated a downward path and struck the ball nicely. Didn't notice a difference with my driver, I'll have to work on that.
Thanks for the comment
All the best, Adam
Love it
Thanks very much Colin.
All the best, Adam
Thank you, I know the arms should come down, but did not think in terms of right arm straightening. will try.
Hope you make progress Mike
Great 👍 tip thank you 🙏.
Glad you liked the video Robert.
Best, Adam
Taking this video into practice, I can honestly say, it's made the most difference to my game (amateur) than any other advice. Shots now feel easy with less effort.
Glad to hear that George!
All the best, Adam
Right on. Me too
This is perfection
Thanks very much!
Best, Adam
Great video, thanks!
Glad you liked it.
Best, Adam
Wow, amazing tips
Thanks Lenard
Best, Adam
Great video and drill Adam! I played golf for too long keeping a bent right elbow
Thanks for the comment.
All the best, Adam
I came across this yesterday and went out and hit some 7-iron and I don't think I've ever hit a ball as pure and clean can't wait to really get out there and practice this
Glad to hear it!
All the best, Adam
@@Scratchgolfacademy I'm here on the east coast in Sunrise Florida just west of Fort Lauderdale do you give private lessons or is it all done by your staff
Don’t bother with lessons just watch this man he’s a genius and explains it so well
You're very kind James.
All the best, Adam
Yeah absolutely ridiculous how important this move is. I always thought you tried to keep the arch in the downswing but once you reach top of backswing just pull club down. Never had so much hip rotation in all my life and never understood the concept of firing the hips until now. I tried it after watching this and just happier than any child in a candy store.
Adam razzle dazzle bazalgette👍 such perfect articulation of the idea👍👍
Thanks very much
All the best, Adam
Very good video! Often an overlooked concept of the true role of the arms. Manuel DeLa Torre talked about this exact thing.
Thanks Jeff
"Armed" and dangerous!! Thanks Adam!
Hope you make Good progress Ted.
Best, Adam
Great video. The thumbs down 👎 people aren’t golfers at all. That was spot on nice work
Thanks very much Timothy.
All the best, Adam
Great lesson, took the instructions to the range and have never had such powerful ball striking, I’m playing golf this evening and don’t think the other guys have a chance !
The last chipping lesson brought me a 75 I’m excited to see how this move will work out.
Glad to hear it John.
Best, Adam
@@Scratchgolfacademy another 75 ! I’ve really got back in to golf thanks to your instruction. Thanks Adam !
gold!
Glad you found it helpful Sani.
Best, Adam
Excellent lesson !
Thanks!
super lesson indeed , with this move i hit my irons 10-15 yrds longer and straight toward target , my trail hand grip has to be stronger ,
Glad you found the video helpful Nerendra
Best, Adam
The best video ever !
Thanks, glad you liked it
Great stuff
Thanks Eddie
Best, Adam
Good video to explain the feeling which I can get. However I struggle with losing the ball to the right.
I'd work on closing the club face during the downswing. Hope it helps.
Best, Adam
So I just got done watching this video and went out into my backyard to try it out (straightening my trail arm a little sooner than normal). Its funny to say how much of a difference I saw from the video I took today from last week. Headed to the driving range now to give it a real hit.
Best of luck with it Jacob.
Thanks, Adam
@@Scratchgolfacademy just finished up. Definitely helped, going to continue to consintrate on that feeling. Saw results👍
Great video! I think the secret to this move is where Adam mentions that your shoulders need to be turned when you drop the hands. You need to drop the hands when you are at full shoulder turn.
Thanks for the comment Brian.
Best, Adam
Breaking a table top!!!!
Seriously!!!! Yesterday I was ready to give up gold after playing for 30 years cause I kept topping the ball or hitting it far…. And today I’m just hitting it flush. Amazing tip !!!! Changed my life. Thank you sir. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻
Please to hear you made such progress!
Cool video, good explanation for me it feels more like painting than a hammer
Fair enough Conor, glad you are making progress.
All the best, Adam
I also have had several years of over the top I started doing this drill at the first of the year its the only drill I have ever done out of 100"s that has ever worked !!!!!!!!!!!!I have not been able to hit a 3 wood for years now I am crushing it!!!!! I use to try to hit the ball now I concentrate on hammering the club behind me unfolding my arms I don't even have to think about the ball when I do this it puts me in the slot and the ball explodes out!!!!!!!!if your over the top this is the only fix!!!!!!!!!
Glad you've seen such good progress.
All the best, Adam
excellent instruction :)
Thanks Martin
Shot an 85 out yesterday and I spent about an hour or so watching this and practicing before I went out. Let’s just say it worked.
Nice playing!
All the best, Adam
Scratch Golf Academy thanks Adam! You’re teachings are easy, simple and place so much on fundamentals it has truly improved my game. I played baseball from the time I was 7, I’m 35 now so everything mechanically is natural just took time to adjust accordingly! Be blessed!
