Huge thanks again to Pete. I hope you all learnt something. Comment below what it was…
I love Pete's take on the right arm spinning down. His detailed knowledge is unparalleled in the world of golf. I've been a subscriber and follower for quite awhile on both platforms. Looking to potentially do lessons in the spring.
Pete explains everything so well. Makes it sound so simple that I feel kind of stupid that I didn’t work this stuff out myself 😂 brilliant
I've seen Pete Cowen talk about each of those points at one time or another, but have drifted away from them from time to time. I'd say sticking with them and continually drilling them into habit is a key lesson to be learned. Like Pete has said at other times people would benefit from doing the drills 15 minutes every day - but they don't stick with it.
Spinning the right arm down is a challenging concept for many to understand. While maybe a bit too simplistic the better way to think about it to start might be to just think of throwing the hand/arm down. Towards the rear foot/instep for a draw, under the belly for straight, and toward the front foot/instep for the fade.
One of the questions to the spiral movement is often how much of a diagonal to turn on. Would coiling on a 45* angle with the spiral help other stuff move at 45* as well?
One concern with the equal and opposite pressure is how can we keep that good downward pressure without pulling our shoulders out in front of us and rounded? It's much better to be retracted with the shoulders, and have the triceps to the side of the chest (I think there are a lot of good videos showing Rory Mcilroy's arms in this position) as opposed to having the arms pulled forward and lying on top of the chest.
Key takeaways:
Setup with equal and opposite pressure on the grip/club handle (and try to maintain it - at least throughout the backswing), Spiral the body diagonally both up and down, and throw the hands/arms under the shoulders/body from the top down to impact.
Those sound good, or would you tweak the wording to keep the concepts from diverging in the wrong direction?
I'm glad I watched this video.

Spin it down!
Feet together drill 4:55; Cack-handed drill 11:20; Wall-ball drill 12:50; Towel wringing drill 13:55; Spinning-arm description 17:30;
Yessir - love that!
How insane that we can get this info for free. Thanks to Andy and Pete.
Our pleasure bud
What info?
Probably cost the lads about 900 grand just to hire him for the vid
I won a year’s free lessons with AC last year. My ball striking has improved beyond belief. Who ever wins this time you’re a lucky guy/girl. Andy is simply a superb coach.
Finally...an actual demonstration for those 3 words..."spin it down" 😂
Man's like a box of riddles sometimes with how he puts his feels into words...
Intentionally
The beauty of the golf swing what works for one doesnt work for another
Could listen to pete for hours
Great video Andy!
That's the best mood I've ever seen Pete in a video 😅
Yeah he’s a top guy
Yeah I think that’s why he never really explains anything in detail. He knows the average person is not going to get it so why bother. He looks bored with the whole thing😊
This is a total misrepresentation to be honest, but obviously it's just an opinion. As soon as you start Pete talking about the golf swing he absolutely goes for it. We started filming this video 45 mins late because he started coaching an amateur on the chipping green. His energy for coaching is insane
@@andycartergolf I'm assuming this isn't in reply to my comment, I like Pete, I was just making the point that he was in great form for your video Andy.
No no, the other comment where he 'looks bored' ! @@jimmahT about a man literally obsessed with the golf swing.
This is absolutely epic, Thankyou so very much !
Glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏽
I'm saving this video to watch again and again. Absolute honour to get this wisdom from Mr Cowen.
That was absolutely awesome, thanks for dropping this video!
Great video Andy really love listening to Pete's thoughts on the golf swing just wish I could put them into action
My takeaway for me: narrow stance for more consistency and leave out the extras. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
GREAT stuff! Thanks.
Feet together was the first that I was told at my first golf lesson. Start doing it again! What a great video by you and Pete.
Thank you for this video. I love Pete and you're pretty cool too.
Learnt a lot!
Thanks Andy for the free lesson.....
Great video - these core concepts rather than tinkering around the edges really help me 👍⛳️
Fantastic video Andy and Pete ❤
Great video Andy thanks
I like swinging the club right hand only. Such a great feel for how everything should work.
Andy, first off thanks for all the great content. This video working with Pete Cowen is certainly gold.
My take on Pete’s spinning arm move….at the delivery position Pete talks about which is P6, the humerus/upper arm is in external rotation while the forearm is in a position of supination. From that position if you stay in external rotation of the humerus (a must!) and pronate the forearm into impact, that’s Pete’s spinning arm move. And what you’ll notice is if your upper arm is in external rotation and you pronate the forearm into impact, the right wrist automatically goes into extension, which is keeping that wrist bent back that Pete mentions. And you know if you’ve done it right at the finish your upper arm will be pinned against your chest and in that external rotation position while your forearm will be in the pronated position with the wrist in extension.
Does that sound right to you Andy? I think it’s tricky in the sense that the upper arm is effectively rotated clockwise while the forearm spins down counterclockwise. But the beauty is you get the extension for free if you keep the upper arm in external rotation while pronating the forearm into impact.
Pete has shown this with a few coaches just wish Im good enough to recreate each time when I've managed to get the feeling suddenly it's 180 iron instead of 150.
Fantastic stuff!
I love Pete Cowen. Such an interesting guy
Great Advice drill tips to share
My feel for spinning the arm down is - allow elbow to unfold and rotate forearm anticlockwise so fingers point to 3 o'clock.
Pure Gold, so much can be taken from this - cheers 👍
Andy, what a gold mine of brilliant nuggets and I will replay this video many times to ensure that I can strike golden golf shots. Thank you so much for bringing this into my golfing life. Impressive content Andy.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Awesome Andy
I don't know if Pete is the best coach in the world. But I know for sure he is the coolest dude out there. Stand there with his hands in the pocket (even if you shows a swing) and knowing exactly what he is talking about. :) Thanks for all videos with Pete.
Andy - I just began doing spiral staircase drill. Hoping that helps the hyper rotation with my back
Best coaches keep it simple all these top famous ones are way above most golfers.
17:34 right arm tag. Great vid thank you!
My pleasure 😉
Great Video Andy 👍👊
Great video!
What a nice and instructive chat. “The root cause is the engine and the engine is the body. Everybody needs a consistent body action. Not always perfect but consistent. Body coiling up like a spring. The better the routine the better the rhythm. Equal and opposite hands = stability of the club face”. Wall ball drill = spinning down”. But for me the golden nugget 👍 is hidden from 19:18 to 19:28 🫷. Now I better know what to practice during winter time… looking forward to 😜. Many thanks for sharing this 🙏
The wet towel drill really helped me recently especially with my iron shots.
Ive added this to my Favourites list for future reference and revision; Peter is a walking goldmine of information.
Cheers
Try it with the putter. Fantastic.
When Legends Speak you better Listen. Absolute Gold Thanks Pete & Andy
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video ❤
Pete Cowen, the best guy at that “ crazy “ market of golf specialists… simplicity and logic are his trademarks… years of experience
Really appreciated the discussion about how the right arm spins down from transition. I’ve heard Pete talk about this in the past, but, until now I wasn’t clear on what he meant. Now I better understand the concept.
Cheers!
Thank you great video
Glad you enjoyed it
The feet & knees together still is excellent. I use it at the start of every range session & before a round. I used to not be able to hit it and be off balance. But now I can hit all my shots clean while staying in balance. Stick at it and your game will improve I’m sure
Thank you for guy's. I love the content, for a person who complicates the simplest things in life lol, leave the ego at home when you play golf.
Great video
Andy, big compliments! I haven't seen Pete's insights in this form on RUclips yet. I get a new, better swing thought from this video. Thanks to both of you!!
Great video. Thank you. I’ve been getting out every day for almost a year and I’m encouraged by this video because I think I’m doing a lot of things right. I’m getting very consistent with my 9 iron, and am getting there with my 7. Seems the longer the club, the more trouble I have. Anyway, thanks for putting this together and sharing it.
My pleasure, glad it helping
Great this, no wonder he is one of the best coaches. He just makes sense.
It does make the o seem easier doesn’t it
Hey Andy, I wanted to say a big thank you for sharing that Pete Cowen golf instruction video! The insights on his swing philosophy, top drills, and especially the tips on moving the right arm in the downswing were incredibly helpful. Your post made a real difference in my game, and I appreciate it. Thanks again!
My pleasure, glad its helped
awesome content
From Argentina mr Pete and Andy very helpful drills and basic movements that one needs to follow and stick to them and not mess with yo much thinking many thanks ☘️Owen
Our pleasure. Glad you enjoyed the videos
I get it. Can't understand why you don't. Pete demonstrates his swing stages simply and clearly, starting with the both feet together drill-then the reverse handed grip and backswing provides correct swing plane and right elbow placement- the remaining steps are progressively simple -swing speed flows from practicing his simple drills for ball compression, trajectory, flight & distance control. Works for me⛳️🏌️♂️😃👍
Well Andy I'd love for Pete and his staff to help me play my best, as still struggling with consistency and strike after a club fitting. My handicap has been as low as 20 but now at 26 also have too fast a swing for my ability 😊 great video cheers. P.S like the cack handed drill.
Have a look at Malaska and GRF golf channels
The cack handed drill demonstrated here and in a similar video he did with Danny Maude has really helped me get the feeling at the top of the swing. Also insane how continuing through the swing it gets my lower body open and lead hip out of the way. Just can't replicate that position with normal grip yet.
Based on the comments the level of detail has divided the audience Andy but if RUclips fans are fed a diet of quick fixes and 5 mins vids then something like this will always land different. Personally I'm a fan of detail and like this.
Pete did mention at around 17 mins the idea of more width in the downswing, then demonstrated getting narrow by moving the trail elbow adjacent to his ribs as a poor position. This position is heavily coached so I'd be keen to see you do a follow up video in simpler terms how this width is meant to be created.
Great insight though, plus your opening iron shots looked better than a 2/10 😂
many thanks, like the wet towel analogy.
Its a great visual
Fantastic video. Did Pete give you a drill to maintain width during downswing? I think I could really improve in this area. Always afraid of the dreaded shank. 😂
Thank you Andy for the great video, I watched it 3 times already, guess will be watching more for the future.😊😊 the drills are really important, and more importantly is to build-into your body!
The twist the towel drill and spiral feel has transformed my swing. I actually feel a slight loop in the back and through swing. Just a whole new feel with better consistency. The opposing forces in the grip allows for a connection to the club and body. I have never had a squat or dip in my swing because I was flipping and early extending with my light grip pressure and stall. Two way miss or worse. Great content and even better intuitive wisdom. I am actually able to work the ball both ways. Cut is still not ideal on demand but a work in progress. The baby draw and needed over draw are now almost automatic. Thanks again!
My pleasure, great feedback and thanks for watching/learning
Pete Cowan 'Simply the Best'
It’s very exciting how Pete trying to explain it. Been looking at his explanations in several videos and what he was trying to teach is to use more on natural move rather then how we need to orchestrate it. Looking forward to apply his philosophy in later day. It has been almost 10 years the last time I played 😂
Welcome back to golf my friend. Enjoy the journey
Pete Cowen is a golf genius
Hello Andy a pleasure to watch your videos. Please could u load some video on the position of the right elbow in the back swing
Yes absolutely, stay tuned
Gold
Great video, really interesting 👍🏻 I now know where my latest lesson drill has come from 😂 Cheers Andy (and Pete)
Absolute pleasure
Yup, I’m expecting similar on my next lesson! 😂
Another fantastic video........be nice if you could do a video showing the feet together in action and more info on towel drill for chips / pitches etc.
All this to come my friend
Just come across this video. Superb Andy. Pete is ace. Can tell you’ve worked a lot together ⛳️ 🏌️♀️ PS I think after seeing a few vids I understand the spinning of the arm down (or do I haha). 😂
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Paul
Awesome video and instruction from you both...what were those crows after in your cart?....lol
Thanks Andy and Pete. Lots to think about there. I hope it will help me in my swing journey.
Andy!! Giz a job!!!! Please
What job would you like? 😂
@@andycartergolf cameras, pr, fundraising. I can do it. I'll send you a CV🙏
I always watch these pete cowan videos, even though I assume I'm not going to understand what he's saying
Excited to connect and learn from fellow enthusiasts on RUclips! Let's share insights, collaborate, and grow together. Whether it's golf, design, or any other passion, I'm eager to be part of this dynamic community. Here's to meaningful connections and endless opportunities! 🌟
What an absolute gem of a video. Fantastic info, advice and simple explanation of the mechanics of the golf swing. Well done Andy and what a coup in getting Pete Cowan on your channel. I am sure I’ll be back and forth to this video in the future.
Thank you Jim
good content
The sage old advice of hitting balls with feet together is a great way for the body to learn how yo move and Harvey Penicks slow motion drill is also great if you do it exactly as he prescribed.
Classics 👊🏽
'shaft pressure and club face pressure' at impact, that's the holy grail. I think the rest is the same biomechanical action as taking an axe to a tree - on a steeper plane. The feet together drill is one of the best drills in golf, gets you swinging the club, instead of hitting the ball. My coach, the same guy who taught Grant Waite, Craig Perks - also, taught them that drill first. Good video, thanks.
Great comment, appreciate your input
Another nice video with a brilliant gentleman, well done! May I ask what brand of club you were hitting in video?
Keep up the great work
I had the Vega Mizar Pro irons in this video
@@andycartergolf thank you! They look beautiful. Low handicap club I’m assuming? Have you any feedback on Hogan icon irons?
Nice
Hello. I think this to solve this confusion. Does it mean that you rotate your forward left or right? Imagine opening a doorknob? Would you open it going counter clockwise or clockwise? Some pros advise shallowing the club which in turn, means opening the doorknob to the right (clockwise)!!! However, this explanation from Peter seems to be suggesting to rotate the forearm toward the left (counter clockwise)? It this correct? Is it counter clockwise?
Pete is a calm and knowledgeable coach, interesting chat gents. Nice video Andy
Thanks Andy, this will be on repeat over the winter
Awesome. Enjoy it 👊🏽
I’ve listened to Pete for a number of weeks now after having a lesson with my local pro who raves about him.
But honestly, I can’t understand a thing he’s going on about. He needs to simplify it a lot more for the mere mortal to understand.
Most of my coaching videos are based on Pete’s coaching so I simplify it for you as a former coach at his academy
Andrew could you explain what the left hand should be doing, I play left hand dominant and am finding this swing idea difficult as I get the odd few Shxxxs. Thanks again for the great content.
Look at the dry drill we did but do it with your left hand. You wont need to feel too much spinning on the right arm. The left arm will still spin but less feel.
Or just feel like youre closing the face.
Its the same feels as the right because the club is doing the same
@@andycartergolf Will definitely try this weekend, thank you so much for your reply Andy
great interview Andy , thanks, for the video.
Andy, big compliments! I haven't seen Pete's insights in this form on RUclips yet. I get a new, better swing thought from this video. Thanks to both of you!!🙏
Pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it
Stop it at 19:05...and go through the next 10 seconds or so. See how remarkably flexible Pete's right wrist is...all the way to 90 degrees. Andy's as well. I see how my wrist is nowhere near as flexible...somewhere near 45*. I had never noticed nor heard mention of this difference compared to us amateurs. I would think this has a great deal to do with the ability to have great lag in one's golf swing..
Can I ask a slightly different question. I've been doing the cack handed drill. Is the backswing the same as the downswing?
Andy, best Pete Cowan “interview” I’ve seen! Top content thank you 🙏🏽
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Rick
Superb video! Pete Cowen is the best instructor in the world!
Great video A classic and must see A keeper.
YEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!
You did it Andy!!!
You got Pete!
🔥
That twisting the towel feel is that for the whole swing or just takeaway? Also will be great if you do a video on adding width in the downswing as something I'm working also to avoid the over the top
Just for takeaway. Great drill for stabilising the clubface
Great video1 Question: Towel drill seems to cup my lead hand.
Dont try snd swing full with the towel drill. Its just a chest to chest swing
Great video, love Pete Cowan. Would love to see a picture of his golf wardrobe, rows and rows of black polo shirts and black trousers!
“Never seen a 6” - 😭😭 ruthless
The towel wringing drill...ill be trying that tomorrow
Its so good for stabilising the clubface
Those first 2 swings were 9 and 10 IMO- and I’d take them 100% of the time
Thank you Andy for bringing Pete on. Golden information and many drills to work on in a slower
speed. Your swing looks good Andy and everyone can tell you know your swing.
Thanks you, appreciate the comment
Do you use the same exact process for woods and driver?
@@andycartergolf
Great video Andy and a great explanation of Pete's swing philosophies 🍻💯💪
Thanks Matt, glad you enjoyed it
@19:30 yes yes yes! draw, straight, fade.... when you can feel that :-)
Hi Andy, linking it also to your transition video a few weeks ago - I've always wondered, what happens to the left arm/what should it be doing in a full swing when you incorporate Pete's drill and the right elbow spins down? Do you twist/bow the left wrist as well on the way down? Do you keep it to the right, infront, close to your body, start extending up or keep its level/height etc. Thanks!
