Holy moly!!! I tried this today at range. Have tried lots of drills. This is the holy grail. Gonna use this in my pre shot routine. Heck. I might even try playing with this. Worked with every club in the bag. Didn’t have my driver with me today. Thanks for everything!
After going from a 4 hdcp for many years, to being completely lost on the golf course for a few years, I thankfully found you guys. This season I got down to my lowest ever hdcp of 1.5, and finally won my first club championship! 🏆 You guys helped me build my game back from a place where I'd lost my confidence. I'd nearly reached to point of giving up. Now, I love playing the game again. I can't thank you enough.
@paintedwarrior516 You misread my comment. I had been a 4 for many years. Happily so. Then, at some point, I lost my game. I had no confidence. I was playing closer to a 12 most days. To me, shooting 86 might as well have been a million. I hated golf for a while. I don't expect everyone to relate to that, but that's how I felt.
After doing this drill in an indoor bay and watching my swing on video, all of a sudden after 15 years of endless practice sessions and lessons, my swing now has lost it's flip, impact is right on point and I'm hitting ball a ton further. It's insane. I cannot thank you guys enough. Golf has now become so much fun again. 👍
This drill has given me tremendous improvement in the directions of my shot, and I've noticed that the more I practice, and then put more power into it, the further and straighter my shots are going! Great tip... thanks!!
Wow this is the best golf video I’ve ever seen thank you so much for this drill. Been struggling for years and especially these last few months with getting my right arm too involved and creating a 90 degree angle behind my head with the trail arm completely disconnected and I never knew where to even begin. This completely took all the thoughts out of the takeaway and instantly solved it. Words can’t describe how thankful I am for this. Unbelievable.
Out of all the online golf instruction you guys rock it best. I totally relate to the gears points of reference in your other vids and after many years of filling my head with pga pro so called top tips (and it completely ruining my game) having found the way you teach, being now ripe old age of 60, I’ve found a new game entirely. At any age, if you forget the rest and study the best you can transform. Thank you so much Shaun and Mike from Brian, Cambridge, England
My God. I've started doing this drill...and it's amazing. Absolutely amazing. It's so...simple. And when I get going, I can start playing with feels. I like doing it on typical lawn grass, standing a bit high, so I can see the swoosh in the grass. Then, I can start playing with feels and watch path change. I can adjust feels and wildly increase speed and stay on balance. I'll align my grip/clubface and go back and forth and check when done to see if grip is slipping. And it all feels so natural. Before I hit a ball, my waggle is the pendulum to get the feel, and then go in the same feel. Smooth, tempo up, tempo down, to one of the feels for path or speed. And it's amazing. Great video!!
Drill is amazing. If you’re too consumed with positions it will help you feel the swing path…in the golf swing we never stop moving…like he said,”a dance!” Love it, great video guys!
You guys have probably helped millions of golfers by now. It's evident that you both love what you do and want to see every level of golfer become better. I have a question about acceleration from setup to top of the backswing, because I have not found any material online about it. I feel it's quite common among amateurs to continue accelerating near the top of the backswing (instead of starting decelerating earlier towards the top), which leads to bad sequencing, collapsing the club at the top and other unwanted stuff. Would love to see a video about timing and speed in the backswing (torso, shoulders, arms, club), and simple solutions/drills to make sure you decelerate near the top to get the sequencing right!
This IS THE DRILL I was looking for! Thanks for retraining my muscle memory for better ball striking. Thank you, and please send the bill to my wife. 😊
As a 7 hdcp. I saw this video a week ago, i used it in 3 short practice session during the past week. With out playing any holes of golf for a week, i hit 11 OUT OF 14 FAIRWAYS, double the amount of GIR, and broke par fir the first time in my golf career on a ligit championship course. 3 birdies 2 bogies all pars. Had some birdie lip outs as well. Golf is fun again!!! Great job guys. ! A day to remember.
Brilliant drill! I’ll be adding the ground force movement to drill I do with a weighted swing trainer club where you swing the club forward so it has momentum to start the swing.
I just did about 2000 reps of this yesterday, I love this drill, you also feel your hands drop in the slot, that’s about the only control I needed to do to get a good flush
Everytime I do this drill I think of Matt Wolff, at least to me it's obvious why he has that weird move to start his swing. Not sure if it's the same concept, but it looks like it. As someone who struggles with firing my hips too fast and leaving my hands behind, this drill always helps me sequence things again. You guys have such a great way of presenting this stuff, keep it up!
I watched this yesterday, went out on the course yesterday and got a hole-in-one on a par 3. Unfortunately I wasn't on the sheet and only my neighbor saw it, but it was because of this video. Thanks !!
Fantastic drill! Feel lucky to have gotten this drill over a year ago from the AMG+ program. It helped solve multiple issues in my swing, not the least of which was my tendancy to take my hands too far outside on the takeaway. Once I worked in my dynamic start of the takeaway move (also from AMG+), I was able to maintain the feel of this drill in my regular swing. I still use the drill as part of my pre-swing on-course routine.
@@AthleticMotionGolf Been doing great. Thanks for asking. Looking forward to scheduling some time with you guys in 2023 as soon as your calendar opens up. Playing well, so want to get this swing recorded on Gears. BTW - loving the new AMG store and ordered some shirts.
I was going to comment the same, i've been using DR kwon's/this dril as a pratice swing before driving and it really helping my sink and keep my swing speed up.
After doing the figure 8 drill to create more lag, I went straight back to casting out on the course. I really feel like this makes so much more sense mentally.
Brilliant! Perfect to include in my warmup routine and even do it on-course if I get out-of-synch. One thing you didn’t mention is that the drill also helps my. rhythm.
I think I'll do 200 of these every day (can't play for 2 weeks with stitches in hand) and see if I can step straight back into the groove. You guys are amazing, definitely a lotto dream to A: play lots of golf and B: take a trip to the US of A to get a few sessions with you guys in person! Heck, I'll fly y'all first class to Australia!
Just made my 6 year old try this because his backswing was under plane, I wish I could show you the before and after improvement in less than 10 minutes. Thank you so much for sharing this
Going to put this into my warm up today. Also looks like a great drill when a person has little time to hit balls or playing a course that doesn't have a driving range or practice net.
This is a good drill as one would not become too prefix with the takeaway motion and backswing. This drill helps to make one swing naturally. I noticed Rory McIlroy, TW, etc. also brought the club back this way in one fluid motion.
This is the Dr Kwon Shift/Turn Step-drill, no? It's funny that when you give people positional analysis tools, everyone comes to the same conclusion on what the best drill is.
I have had a few back operations and I have real difficulty getting my weight off my back foot and I have a hard time figuring out how to get my hips and/or midsection involved. I dont really have distance problems, I just push a lot of shots and my back gets tired and "wears out" about the 11th hole and my play goes way down,... Thoughts?
Thanks so much for this...Quick question just so I have it straight - on the downswing portion of the drill, the lightening of the right foot triggers the weight shift into the left? That seems to make sense intuitively and based on what I gathered from some of your other videos, but interested in your take...
Great, practical and easy drill… question; how can I take this drill and adapt it to the Course without looking like a jamoke? Is there a “feel” or a thought for that left handed shot process. Keep up the great work.
I would be interested in your opinions on the GEM training aid. Seems like it promotes a more toe up, open clubface at P2 which goes against a lot of teaching of the one o'clock position. The training aid seems helpful for multiple reasons ,but I see a lot of pros with a more closed looking club face at the first parallel. Which position is truly square? Does it matter? Why?
Not familiar with the GEM, but as far as face rotation goes - it’s in avoidable in the backswing. It’s roughly going to open 90 going back and close 90 coming down for everyone. Based on the data we’ve collected, it’s not a good idea to try to delay it in the takeaway.
I used to do the same thing off the tee. I called it my "big waggle", swinging forward above the ball to parallel, then the full backswing. Got rid of my slice (?).
Curious if this would work as a feel for the driver? My irons are so much better than it. Losing 6 strokes vs my handicap with driver vs gaining on approach
I now have a problem where I hit the ball better and farther when I do this drill instead of a regular swing and I'm honestly contemplating doing this on the course.
There is no doubt that this drill works to perfection. My issue is how do you do the FOWARD portion when actually making a shot. I can hover the club and swing forward and hi to backswing and then hit the ball. But some way I need to have that feel in an actual swing.
I have a question/request that you guys could hopefully help explain. I watched the newer tiger woods my game videos and with the driver he talks about popping the right leg/hip when really going after it. I have good speed and flexibility but an always there flirting with early extension that occasionally manifests as the horrible sh@^k or h0$el when trying to hit a knockdown wedge/iron in low and spiny. This swing issue made me nervous to try and feel what tiger was talking about, but figured there is no hosel on a driver and tried it out. So when I did and recentered (what I think is) correctly and just after I started moving my left hip back and out of the way I let my right leg fire and it felt like since I was opening up my hips already it moved my right hip into the space where my left hip was right before and I could the just completely release my hands full speed and just nailed it so good. Normally if I feel like I let my hands go full speed I’ll loose posture, stand up, turn down/close the face and hit a nasty pull hook toe bomb the flies 150 yards then runs another 100 into the woods on the left. I hope this made sense, and if so could you cover if this is anything you have seen in other golfers since tiger is the only one I have seen mention firing the right leg (he commented on it in a Taylormade video previously too) and if you think this is a bad task/concept or could be good given certain stipulations. In concept Seems like using the big muscles in both legs should be better than just lead side but idk… and also is this a bad for the back concept… Longest comment I’ve ever written lol. Really appreciate all the work and videos you guys put out and they have helped me to get swinging better than I ever have, thank you!
Sorry, have to add one other question/part. What you call the middle part of the swing - recentering-then into loading/change of direction has begun to feel a bit like that floaty zero g feeling you can get at the top of a roller coaster after a rise just before it drops down, like I’m falling into the ground and then push and rotate out. This feel is what works with my comment above for me, but nervous Im on a wrong path and been playing so good I don’t want to mess it up..ok I’m done now, thank you!
A couple years ago I figured out that whipping the club back on path would automatically put the clubhead over the hands on the backswing. That's a check point some pros like to use. I wondered why it was a checkpoint and I think their answer is because so many great golfers do it. To me, the real answer is because it's the most efficient path back. Newton's 2nd law. It also automatically adjusts to every golfer's physique. It uses no mental energy. I can think about impact or where I want to send the ball. A few weeks ago I saw Dr. Kwon. Now I see this. Basically, all that paint by the numbers backswing training is a trainwreck waiting to happen. Just do this.
Wouldn't you do this before you address the ball? I notice that you had to actually go down on the ball to hit it @8:21 which seems like it would make it harder to hit the ball correctly or consistently. I could see this as a good thing to do before you address the ball.
You should start with the downswing not with the takeaway, that is why all golfers suck is they're trying to learn the backswing before understanding where they want to be in the downswing first. You should absolutely learn the downswing and where you want to be posted over your left leg before you ever worry about how you're taking it back which will most likely work itself out.
When I do this drill I can’t make contact with the ball first. I have practices and tried everything to get the weight to the left side. I always want to flip the swing . I hit every wedge super high. Can no
Great video! This idea of having an active backswing is nearly identical to what Dr. Kwon has been teaching for quite a while now. He uses step drills to promote an active backswing just like you are showing in this video. His theory is that an active or momentum driven backswing helps in getting the club in the correct positions to keep it on plane. His videos also teach exactly what you said about the swing being one continuous motion. If both of these RUclips channels are pretty much saying the same thing then I believe you guys are definitely on to something.
Just a thought to help us left handers, if you guys could refer to it as lead and trail and not left and right it would help a lot of a slow people lol.
All the lefties that we work with tell us right off the bat to speak as though we're talking to a right-handed player lol. They tell us they're used to making the conversion themselves.
Why is this not encouraged as a normal swing? I get that there's a re-leveling when you swing over the ball, but maybe that could be done outside or inside on the same height, or maybe that's not as much of an issue as it sounds. Is it because it's hard to generate a lot of momentum (or maybe "force" in the context of the whole swing) with a dynamic swing start? Also, I get why Pro's may not need this, but for a 10 handicap, isn't this just the best way to swing?
The same thought occurred to me as I was hitting nerf practice balls in the backyard. I was taking the club all the way back and balls were flying as far or farther than with my normal swing. On the course, things can go seriously wrong, but I may well try it next time I play a round.

Yes use a slight shift to the lead foot before you steer the swing (swing trigger )
How do you transition the same dynamic movement pattern when you are starting the swing with a traditional address?
Use a swing trigger like a little shift to left like.
Great video and instructions does this drill apply to hybrids, woods and driver ?
Yes

What would be the reasoning there?
@@AthleticMotionGolf to ensure the weight goes left before the backswing is complete.

I hope this made sense, and if so could you cover if this is anything you have seen in other golfers since tiger is the only one I have seen mention firing the right leg (he commented on it in a Taylormade video previously too) and if you think this is a bad task/concept or could be good given certain stipulations. In concept Seems like using the big muscles in both legs should be better than just lead side but idk… and also is this a bad for the back concept…
Longest comment I’ve ever written lol. Really appreciate all the work and videos you guys put out and they have helped me to get swinging better than I ever have, thank you!
Sorry, have to add one other question/part. What you call the middle part of the swing - recentering-then into loading/change of direction has begun to feel a bit like that floaty zero g feeling you can get at the top of a roller coaster after a rise just before it drops down, like I’m falling into the ground and then push and rotate out. This feel is what works with my comment above for me, but nervous Im on a wrong path and been playing so good I don’t want to mess it up..ok I’m done now, thank you!
A couple years ago I figured out that whipping the club back on path would automatically put the clubhead over the hands on the backswing. That's a check point some pros like to use. I wondered why it was a checkpoint and I think their answer is because so many great golfers do it. To me, the real answer is because it's the most efficient path back. Newton's 2nd law. It also automatically adjusts to every golfer's physique. It uses no mental energy. I can think about impact or where I want to send the ball. A few weeks ago I saw Dr. Kwon. Now I see this. Basically, all that paint by the numbers backswing training is a trainwreck waiting to happen. Just do this.
💪🏻
Kyle Berkshire does something very similar to this IIRC
Same principle
Great job guys super good drill I’ve seen on Dr Kwons channel
I just notice that Shaun drags his right foot through impact. Very Greg Norman-esk
Is it legal swinging like this in competition?
Basically this drill is make a fast backswing. I wonder if that will help.
Dr. Kwon's step drill
Step drill has been around longer than Dr Kwon haha.
Wouldn't you do this before you address the ball? I notice that you had to actually go down on the ball to hit it @8:21 which seems like it would make it harder to hit the ball correctly or consistently. I could see this as a good thing to do before you address the ball.
You should start with the downswing not with the takeaway, that is why all golfers suck is they're trying to learn the backswing before understanding where they want to be in the downswing first. You should absolutely learn the downswing and where you want to be posted over your left leg before you ever worry about how you're taking it back which will most likely work itself out.
When I do this drill I can’t make contact with the ball first. I have practices and tried everything to get the weight to the left side. I always want to flip the swing . I hit every wedge super high. Can no
Can not flight the ball down. Any ideas?
I'd love to have an am hat.
They’re in stock. We’ll have them in the store soon, or you can email support@athleticmotiongolf.com to get one now.
Great video! This idea of having an active backswing is nearly identical to what Dr. Kwon has been teaching for quite a while now.
He uses step drills to promote an active backswing just like you are showing in this video. His theory is that an active or momentum driven backswing helps in getting the club in the correct positions to keep it on plane.
His videos also teach exactly what you said about the swing being one continuous motion.
If both of these RUclips channels are pretty much saying the same thing then I believe you guys are definitely on to something.
This is basically dr kwons two step drill
This means sheer use of the momentum from the club head weight makes your swing natural. Better to do this motion continuously.
Yes!
I was convinced this may have been the slow motion drill but this drill was second in the chute
Haha yes!
Just a thought to help us left handers, if you guys could refer to it as lead and trail and not left and right it would help a lot of a slow people lol.
No I disagree , more right handers out there
No I disagree , more right handers out there
lead and trail work both ways though.
I’m a right hander and I agree Stephen
All the lefties that we work with tell us right off the bat to speak as though we're talking to a right-handed player lol. They tell us they're used to making the conversion themselves.
another aha moment - thanks boys
Why is this not encouraged as a normal swing? I get that there's a re-leveling when you swing over the ball, but maybe that could be done outside or inside on the same height, or maybe that's not as much of an issue as it sounds. Is it because it's hard to generate a lot of momentum (or maybe "force" in the context of the whole swing) with a dynamic swing start? Also, I get why Pro's may not need this, but for a 10 handicap, isn't this just the best way to swing?
The same thought occurred to me as I was hitting nerf practice balls in the backyard. I was taking the club all the way back and balls were flying as far or farther than with my normal swing. On the course, things can go seriously wrong, but I may well try it next time I play a round.
Seems like you got that one from dr kwon! You forgot to mention him in your video!!!
