Loads pressure on the right big toe and instep up the inner shin, inner right thigh, to right hip, across the back to the left shoulder, down the left arm, to the left index finger.. settling at the right pinky , "trigger" finger... The backswing coil.❤ YaH shal'OM beloved meshpaca
Not it's a jumbled contradiction.sam Snead had what's called a one piece swing ask Jack nicholas.sam Snead was the best golfer if his generation.his hand go back to we're they began the club takes the same exact path on the downswing as it did on the back swing.very robotic.
@@lllllsp1d3rlllll yes…but you’re confusing terms. Snead had a one piece takeaway yes, that is key to a nice coil & good swing but he also had a one plane swing meaning his backswing & downswing planes were about the same opposed to higher hands at the top dropping into the slot aka 2 plane swing. Not to be confused with single plane which is something entirely different referring to the address plane. For example Tiger woods 1 plane swing as well, Justin Thomas has a 2 plane but both of them have a 1 piece takeaway.
Actually this is based entirely on Mike Austin’s teachings. You should check him out. Especially the vids where Mike is wearing a skeleton suit. It’s as informative as it is unique. Mike was the most knowledgeable person in history to apply his vast knowledge of the human body to maximizing power in the golf swing. He had a beautiful swing and often drove the ball 320+ yards. That was in the 60’s with a persimmon driver and balata ball. He literally would hit it 50 to 100 yards farther than the tours longest hitters today with the same equipment. (Rory, Bryson…)
The man definitely knows what he is doing. I've been playing golf many years, yet I've never heard of this right hip 'up and back'. Mr Cowen even gives us a little smile at the end of this vid.
Yes, but without Mike's K and reverse K pivot leverage system. Austin didn't pressure his hips straight down into the ground in the downswing like Cowen and Sam Snead do/did. Two completly different swings.
@@therealgolfsecrets Don't think so much detail. There are two principles that allow you to swing a club on plane. #1 A slightly swinging spine (Monti, Geiberger Sybervision, Snead, Singh, Tiger, Rory and all the top players) get's the arms on plane. #2 A counter rotation between upper arms and forearms gets the club on plane.
@@therealgolfsecrets Totally agree. If you watch Tom Watson 'The Secret' - and watch Mike Austin in his skeleton suit - even read Nick Faldo's books (who admits as he got older, allowed his heel to come up off the floor to play well in the US Open), you can see that it is the shoulder's as the hub of the swing which is the only thing that really matters. If you are Rickie Fowler and have naturally long ligaments with hyperflexion, then sure, keep your feet on the floor why not. But for mere mortals (most of us), I feel it is worth experimenting. I know I have drawn my own conclusions, I will let you draw yours. How you release your hands, posture (head over feet, balls of the feet) is also critical and defines consistency and ball flight, which takes discipline and practice. There's no one way to do it entirely, and different swing triggers and planes can also be used within reason.
Great explanation of continual angular momentum in a great golf swing which is linear and rotation is one move not two separate moves. They must go together like a horse and carriage in our golf swing. Our body turning around or our club head turning around us is double or even triple boggy golf. Cheers 👍😃⛳️🥂❤️
The biggest problem is the "head" stays glued square down looking and "prevents" the body from turning. If you close your eyes and not look at the ball. Just let your head turn. Now you got it. You just need to sense your spine and balance. Don't keep two eyes on the ball. Just keep the ball within the peripheral vision of one eye. Key.
Pete keeps pressure on the ball of his foot. Don't try to make the hip go up. It will happen naturally. Just put pressure into the ground from the inside of your trail foot. This will force the hip socket straight back and up slightly without thinking about it. The key is to not sway.
@@therealgolfsecrets swaying isn’t my problem I was told I leave my weight on my front foot then on the down swing I end up hanging back on my back foot. Thx
@jeffp2001 Falling back in the down swing is common. An old school drill that helps reverse this habit is to hit balls while only standing on the lead foot. It makes a good chipping drill as well.
Chipping: your weight remains up front. Short irons: weight balanced but favoring front foot. For full iron swings and woods: transfer force into back foot with a full coil (like in this vid).
I was just last night working on my take away positioning and I noticed in my shadow my butt kicking out around to the left back toward to target. I was wondering how to stop it knowing that it wasn’t the correct movement. Voila. There it is.
Yes, the hip has to move "up and back on itself" but the hands and arms can't "spiral" with the hip. When the left side of the right forearm is facing straight in front, the arm has to lever back to the top of the backswing. So, the danger in focusing on the hip is that the arms can adopt the same pattern of movement. So, really we have to find a way of getting the hip into position without actually focusing on getting it into position. And, the solution to that is quite simple.
The hands and arms are attached to the body... so if the hip spirals up and back, the arms will passively move with it, putting them in the correct slot (without thinking about it). You don't need to find the right slot during the backswing if the lower body/hips move correctly. Watch all the Pete Cowen vids on this channel for clarification.
@@therealgolfsecretsmy opinion has got nothing to do with it. it's the way that we are phyically designed to swing the club that matters. swing coaches bend the nature of anatomy to their will without even having any real understanding of anatomy
I think you might be focusing too much on the "up". Focus on a deep (straight back) rearward hip movement and the "up" will happen naturally. Try setting up like Pete does in this video but take your hand and push the trail hip straight back (*while shifting a majority of your weight onto your trail leg). You will find the that the hip will rise up naturally without trying.
Do you tend to slice or hook the ball? Watch this vid ruclips.net/video/2Ts6H4WmwSY/видео.html And triple check your current grip at address before attempting any swing changes.
@@therealgolfsecrets Last week, i finally had a lesson with a young pro who is Trackman qualified. Changes were 1: Stronger left hand grip (i’m right handed)2: ball back in the stance 3:in to out club path . The results amazed me: Very good impacts and most incredible, high draws ! I could’nt believe my eyes. My 6iron distance with a weak fade and 7500rpm spin was 140yards . Now spin is 6000rpm and 155yards. I want to play every day !!
Hogan and Snead style swing encompass baseball swing fundamentals, old school swing mechanics, left knee has to turn deeper to load the power rearward. Spiral the lead arm like Hogan for lower swing plane. This up and down loading equals back injuries. just ask Ben Hogan😂😂😂
So happy I found this gem! I’ve watched hours of golf videos and this was the most beneficial video! I have now unsubscribed from those supposed PGA coaching professionals because they have all missed the mark!
The hip goes up slightly because of how the hip socket works. If you just push your hip back deep behind you, the "up" will happen naturally, and you won't have to think about it. Tiger Woods uses the word deep. I like this word better because the "up" might make someone try to lift up unnaturally.
@@therealgolfsecrets appreciate it . I am working on flexing my lead knee more which also seems to help. Never the less higher right hip is a must to strike irons consistently and compress them properly.
@@therealgolfsecrets real golf secrets, huh? Real - “existing in fact and not imaginary:”, Golf - “a game played outside on grass in which each player tries to hit a small ball into a series of nine or 18 small holes, using a long, thin stick:” Secrets - “a piece of information that is only known by one person or a few people and should not be told to others:” (Cambridge online dictionary). Perfect description of your philosophy, right? By your channel handle and your derision, you seem to advocate not existing, objective knowledge that is freely distributed, but rather, subjective knowledge that is hidden from the masses, couched as helpful by subjective public videos where only you and your masters know what you will never openly talk about. Is that accurate? It seems accurate. I have to ask… How can something secret be acknowledged by the masses as something that exists in fact? Curious. I guess it’s great way for you and your small, (brown?, wrinkled?) inner circle to avoid a debate of the facts. Good on ya, bubbles.
The only way the right hip can go up from the ground during the backswing is you either straighten out the rear trailing leg slightly lifting that part of your body or you tilt your upper body towards the target doing a reverse pivot type thing. He must be talking about the slight straightening the rear leg.
Not so, the inword bending of the left knee brings the left hip down which automatically brings the right hip up. And if you are setting your weight into the inside part of your right heel, you will be in a perfect position to move back down and threw the ball to the finish position.
Iove how he contradicted himself.basicalky the ones that say the club head should make an circle at the top of the back swing say that a proper swing and what generates the power.but they know nothing about phisics.thats like saying a robot arm could not hit a gold ball.its to complex to go into depth here.
Imma guess you’re being genuinely curious and a beginner. Multiple reasons why pro’s go to their coaches. One, they feel like their mechanics are drifting from what they learned and need a tune up. Two, the new movement they learned becomes natural but start affecting another movement which can happen. Three, certain areas of their game are costing them strokes so they are building a plan to minimize mistakes. There are many more reasons and keep in mind, pro’s from what I know do not go to their coaches every week like some recreational golfers. More like once a month for a touch up or sometimes just whenever they feel like something is off
This is all bullshit. Just swing like mickey mantle like I do and I hit em great. Straight and far. Got 3 hole in one's last year and just missed a fourth one by a foot on a par 4
Vince I’m sure you swing your swing and you feel good so by all means go for it. But this is not bullshit, it’s a simple concept that explains a standard hip rotation that most people mess up

Love the explanation there
I've got this now , you dont lose power , I was a turn and turn ,and wondered why I couldn't keep the power on
2 Pistons. I got his DVD when it was a thing excellent
Yep. I’ve always intuitively felt it was more than a turn.
