I increased my drives by 453 yards with this drill and developed two disc bulges, chronic bilateral sciatica and radicular pain (just like Freddie). The extra 453 yards helped on some holes and by the time I've watched a dozen more RUclips videos, each promising another 30 yards, I should be driving it almost half a mile. Needless to say my second shot is usually backwards towards the green I flew with my drive. Soon be in a wheelchair too👍
@@CraigHansonGolf Golf is littered with spinal injuries created especially by those who advised simultaneous spinal bending and torsion. Just a thought .....but you guys don't care a fig as you so "eloquently" stated.
@steveperryman8102 HaHa, Funny, made me laugh. @CraigHansonGolf I thought you did a good job putting this video together. There was that great montage of Fred Couples swings at the first and great editing throughout the video. Great video and funny tongue in check comment by Steve. Any particular golf swing is never a "one size fits all". everyone's body and perceptions are different.
@@jeffedmundson3934 Exactly. Freddie has enormously wide shoulders. That big primary lever creates effortless speed. Davis Love had to use a lot of height and fast/loose hand action. My comment was a little tongue in cheek but also a word of caution. I speak from experience. Two blown discs and all of the above. Bad backs can be serious (Google Cauda Equina Syndrome the life changing snowboarders injury). Another long hitter who also uses this sort of internal rotation, Cameron Champ, is young and already suffering back issues. So beware unless you don't play much ...
Freddie really releases those hands to the max through impact. And when you add that to how far back he cranks his right shoulder……BOOM BOOM! I know it’s not the modern body release and he does miss both ways because of it but when you have impeccable timing like Fred, it’s a thing of beauty. My favorite swing and who I try to emulate. Nice video!
Outstanding explanation. Fred Couples has always been my swing idol but I didnt quite understand what was happening. The forward, down, and under explanation really made it all click and also gave me an "aha!" moment where I realized why I often top the ball. Great job and thank you
As usual great video. For me to achieve a lower arc, I have to tuck in the trail elbow (visualize it as a hinge attached to a rotating trail hip) as I pull back the lead scapula (chest to face the sky). The tucking of the trail elbow facilitates the increased trail side bend and dropping of the head behind the ball.
No question, the most smooth swing in golf. Stood 8 ft from him at Riviera when he hit a wedge onto the green, you would have thought it would only go halfway there and it landed pin high.
I have been going through many online videos but none are comparable to yours. I have increased my distance from 245meters with a driver to around 270 meters. Phenomenal indeed. Keep up the good work
@PGA tournament, I emulated Freddie swing with my umbrella right behind him while he was doing practice swing to wait for the green. Such smooth tempo, just the gravity guides your swing. BTW, Freddie noticed my practice. So embrassing.
@@carnivorouscanuck729 i was actually looking at Ernie Today he pivots down and bends into some incredible positions.. Be strong unit who’s hyper mobile .. amazing
If i move forward down and under how do i keep the clubface from being wide open? I struggle with shanks as of now. I am slowing my power and rhythm to 50% and it is helping. Very very slow, i feel like i need too to keep myself in position on downswing.
Well you are obviously missing one big mistake in the swing somewhere. Shanks! ..are a fun stopper. One of tell tales is people having to swing super slow not to shank. I don’t know where the point of failure is. I could fix your shank immediately if i saw it… then you could pick up your swing speed again. Instead of trying not to shank it… you could really work on other area of your swing. Send your swing through to me from your cell/ mobile phone.

That was fantastic! The swing that got me hooked on this game decades ago. Was so obsessed with Freddie's leisurely looking swing and fading the ball i completely copied it. And I treasure the elegant swing more than ever now the game has become so muscular and unattractive. The current generation makes everything look so mechanical and a whole lot harder than it is. Just want to add one major element to the swing. His *cupped wrist* . I find it is the key to blending everything together. And best of all it really eliminates the dreaded two-way miss. Oh, and hint, it's only leisurely looking, not at all leisurely in practice. You hit it with everything you got. As Freddie said.
This is how i hit driver when its going good. Im open and trying to swing ever so slightly to the right. But actually when i hit solid i have a weird slight slide with my trail side foot not as severe as scheffler but the slide helps me get my trail thigh to touch the lead. After figuring this out i dropped 12 points off my handicap was a 15 at the time something happened now im slightly over a 3 at 3.2
Hi Craig, that 'wall' is definitely the key, have you any thoughts on the Gary Edwin method, Right Sided Swing, I have just seen a few videos on the method and am curious what you think of it?
Great video! Couple things. First, there’s throwers and there’s pullers. Fred is a thrower. Figure out what you are. Second, when Fred comes down and in from the top, he isn’t laying the club off. He has the shaft working on same plane. Very important to understand this. Do not try this move and lay that club off pointing your left wrist at the sky unless you want to hit shanks all day. Just my two cents
He uses his front shoulder like a pendulum, the way the shoulder is meant to rotate. He stays centered throughout the swing pushing his back elbow straight down, gives very good compression on the ball.He rotates with limited shifting.
I would love to see a comparison of Freddie's swing to an excellent ball striker with a more around the body swing. He seems quite upright which may be challenging for us seniors.
He’s 64 .. I don’t think seniors should swing to flat not if you want to keep your distance over the years. Having said that we swing how we swing. There’s some great information in this video. 👍
How can we swing like Freddy? It is not possible. We don’t have his flexibility. I think you’re one of the best teachers on the internet. I appreciate your expertise.
it’s more of a swing analysis and noticing what freddy does When i do a swing analysis of a top player abs show a movement of them or a drill people seem to think that i think they can swing like freddy? Let’s be honest most people’s swings are awful and they are lazy and out of shape. I know that sounds bad but it’s truth. Believe me when i say i know people can’t swing like freddie i’ve given 42,000 lessons all over the world. But people can improve their golf ..
@@robertmcglone361 Freddy has an enormous primary lever .... and by that I mean the width of his shoulders. Those wide shoulders look bizarre and convey an enormous advantage; the primary lever being the one that runs from his neck to his left shoulder. With the power of the torso maximised into that lever his main consideration is to time his arms and hands to release at impact. If you don't have outrageously wide shoulders you can't copy his method and if you want to be long you had better hope you have extra long arms instead. Alternatively, you can do what Woosnam did and have longer club shafts. Tiger has the same wide primary lever, but he can no longer use his torso as he used to ...
I've been a studier of Freddie for years, I think his swing actually was good for my back eventhough I know he's been plagued with back problems. I'm sure I don't do it as well as he does. Lol

Generally the head will move slightly more away from the target late into the downswing. More separation.. The iron series abs driver series on WorldClassGolf.com go into the exact details
Got it!! My irons have more lateral shift than my driver. Probably explains why my preferred shot is a hold on cut with the driver and I get spooked by a pull hook with the driver.

Isn’t it just amazing! I have a video of his swing on my phone in normal speed. I watch it over and over. It’s really helped my rhythm on the golf course, I’m not joking 👍 Incredible swing to look at and analyse! Thanks for posting
Interesting. I am 76 and have lost 30 yds from age 60.I am more upright now because I worked on changing.Too flat before which required precise timing and a somewhat over the top move to get the clubhead to the ball.
Sorry about that i live in Germany and I get between languages because there’s so many master championships in Europe. I have to say the US Masters to people over here. I’ve been called a few times with that in RUclips ha ha ha
As someone who struggles club throwaway to some degree on the DS, the thought of feeling the right side get lower puts the fear of god in me that I would hit soooo far behind it. But alas, I imagine that these improved dynamics would actually delay the timeline where the club head accelerates outward?
Everyone thinks about the lower body In transition, but the club has to be “carried” forward without losing trail wrist flexion. Is see that as the trail arms job in transition… to float forward without losing wrist extension. Alan
Watching these pros, like Freddy, will give one an idea how they play the ball more forward with their irons. Pros play their irons more forward than most amateur's (most anyway) because of that lateral shift past the wall. With Freddy here you can see how much his left shoulder is forward from where it was at address.
@@CraigHansonGolfI know! Over the years, since he came on tour I have watched him, and always thought how does he hit it from there. When he used to hit fades all the time I do not see how he doesn't block it dead right from that position. I saw one video in slo mo, he would start turning his left hand down with some bow at about waist high on the downswing. Freddy has always blown me away with that syrupy smooth swing.
I don’t really understand what you are saying at 4:30. When I aim left, I come over the top and hit a weak fade. When I aim right, I keep my elbow tucked and the club behind me to hit a push draw. And you are saying the exact opposite of what I just stated.
I notice Fred Couples does not bend his knees much at transition, most good players bend their at the knees more. Has Dr. Rob Neal got data on his ground force profile?
@@CraigHansonGolf Couples generated a lot of club head speed and because the legs don't bend much it does not "seem" to come from the legs, but what is going on in the ground is what counts and he may be generating a lot of force out of the ground that is why I am interested in his force plate data. He has a big lateral shift I suspect that is where a lot of his force is generated that and suddenly breaking that force with the lead side. His left leg looks to be key in his force production.
freds swing always looked very upright and handsy like he's throwing the clubhead at the ball which seems to go against most of the modern day teaching of more body pivot driven swing, but maybe that is an illusion.
Whats modern day teaching? Who’s teaching it? And who’s a example of the modern day swing or release? Couples has one of the best hand motions i’ve ever seen. Amateurs don’t use their hands enough. Partly die to their talent level and partly because they believe it’s a mystery modern day body release that no one can show me. Most amateurs are lost in the belief that a dynamic active hand motion is “ Handsy” Effortless power comes through the hands.
Fantastic analysis Craig! Fred Couples' swing is legendary, and your insights are super valuable. I'm definitely trying that aiming-left drill. Can't wait for more of your content! 👏🏌♂
Strong grip needing wide open face at top and on the way down. Puts strain on the old back. Freddy did it to perfection but it is clearly not for everyone especially older players.
Great footwork and right leg 99% of people would play better with a stinger grip and better transition. Freddy doesn’t have extreme bends They are just normal

definitely hit the ball further with more swing without a doubt the seniors that hit it further swing further back
I think I do some things well but a holdover from my old backswing is premature release.

Yeah me too i know what you mean
As one of the best 80 yr old golfers currently in the world today, you have to be careful
Such a great swing but what’s the flaw that has ruined his back?
No idea
L6-7 discs are jagged worn down, cutting into my nerves. That lower back turn is literally a grind.
that’s a shame
@@CraigHansonGolfSpinal fusion surgery will alleviate that, but…the recovery takes a year to a year and a half before you can make a full swing again.
How do you even pick the club up like that?
What do you mean?
Freddy's hands look very high - from some angles a very vertical swing plane.
I wonder how high in relation to tour average?
Definitely a slightly higher swing
Is 55 Degrees why Fred Couples had such a problem with back trouble?
55 is the tour average
What I noticed is Freddie’s right foot rolls and doesn’t get on his toe until after impact

Before copying Fred's swing,be careful because he has had back pain for years,requiring surgery.
thank you Michael..i will pass that onto everyone
that looks very painful for the long term or for seniors
It depends on how much your body turns at impact .. i don’t have any back problems.. none at all i have more side bend than couples ..
Mike Austin ish.
