This is pretty much the lesson I received last night at the range for early extension. Just found the channel and loving the content. Let's go champ 🥊🥊🥊🥊
Yeah, this was a very cool video indeed. I went to the range today to implement some of this, and I was really striking the ball well. Apparently, I was in fact, faking it and not doing it correctly. When I got home from the range, the back of my legs and my butt were sore that’s never happened before. Thanks for the vid
Excellent, as a senior golfer I have recently started to understand this move and without doubt it has made a huge improvement. Perhaps an overlooked element of the golf swing. I wish I had understood this move many years ago.
Thanks again Larry. This is my personal experience: It is very hard to learn the correct way of `squat and rotate` without having regularly practice sessions with an experienced coach!!! Go to Larry and let him help you!
@@LarryCheungGolf I'm thinking coaching is Going to be revolutionized with cheaper models w accurate data points that will help students to share with coaches around the world and fellow students. Mobile phones are a tool being used but measuring ball/club data will be an added feature with new launch monitors w a cheaper price tag. It will be more fun to practice.
Greetings from England. Just stumbled into your YT channel and find your content and explanations a cut above most of the coaches on this platform. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. One quick question relating to your squat lesson above. I note further down in the comments, towards the end, someone observes that many top players put the squat in while they are still going back. Your response states that this is not the norm and you endorse the view that McIlroy is a good example of a golfer who squats as he comes down. With respect, if you look at a slo mo of Rory Mc. he clearly squats while he is still going back or while the club is settling at the top. On the way down he is pretty much pushing up. I have noticed this in a lot of pros. Rham, Schaufelle, McIIroy, They start to rotate the lower body as they are going back. So, this move does not conform to the sequence you are teaching. This seems such a fundamental part of the downswing that I am surprised that many pros seem to deviate from what you are advocating. Would appreciate your view on it.
This video is to help the masses and give them the best chance at improving their leg work. You can't expect to use your legs like Rory without other pieces in play. No videos is perfect for everybody =)
haha, I've been doing it more and more lately for practice and if I get lazy in my spring back up, I will hit miles behind the ball.. basically cant be lazy.. and it feels powerful
Same for me, suspect its my arms as its something I have done before. I do think that if I get to do this enough and think about my arms my coordination will adjust it and get it going eventually. I get it well at half swings combined with the impact position start and see strike and flights like I have not done before. Just needs more work.
Spent the winter working on the feeling of no wrist hinge, keeping the hands low at takeaway, left wrist flat, feeling like the left arm stays straight (it doesn't), sitting into the right heel, pinning left arm into chest, and rotating hard while pressuring hard with the left heel through the ball. All in the house with no ball. Hit balls for the first time last week when the weather broke and found it translated into immediate solid ballstriking. Played my first round of the year (still off season) today. Shot 73. There are a lot of different ways to hit a golf ball, but this pattern works. Face stability and start line is vastly improved. I was hitting summer yardages with irons in 39 degree weather, so no loss of distance by taking the feeling of arms and hands out of the swing, and the dispersion/stability of ballflight was significantly better.
@@method341 Because I have a tendency to move my head toward the target and shift way too early to the left side, this pattern actually "feels" like I'm hitting a bit off my back foot (I'm not). The left foot pressure I feel in transition is to push away from the target with the sole purpose of pushing my left hip back and around instead of the old "standing" on my left leg. This creates a feeling of pressure into the ground with both feet instead of the old feeling of maximum pressure on just the left foot and the left foot pressure is back instead of straight down. I hope that makes sense.
@@ric24581 yeah great, thanks for that. I have the same tendency in that I lunge toward the target with the upper body and head. Do you feel like you thrust your hips towards the target in the downswing, just to exaggerate it? Or are the hips quiet for you?
wow, you're giving the very best lessons abt downswing squat on RUclips. I am so glad that I clicked in!!

Outstanding piece of instruction, Larry...
Thanks!

I’m new to golf. So I got back to back swing. And then do u squat and exten front knee at same time?
This is actually an excellent example of the proper squat technique and feel. Thanks for sharing!
GREAT LESSON! BEST EXPLANATION on youtube Thank You! Subscribed!
Larry if I was a process I’d trust ya! So good Larry appreciated. 👍
Very good lesson, Thank-you
Great explanation of this move Larry! Thanks!
Thanks again Larry. This is my personal experience: It is very hard to learn the correct way of `squat and rotate` without having regularly practice sessions with an experienced coach!!! Go to Larry and let him help you!
jut walked into my house from the range I was doing literally exactly what you describe! should have watched this first!
This is great. Really good explanation!
Just a matter of time before a tour pro grabs Larry full time and these gems are no longer uploaded.
One day a tour pro will give me a shout, but I would still keep youtube going, need to keep growing it!! =)
Hi Larry, only recently subscribed to your channel and like what you are teaching.👍
Do you recommend "squatting " when using the driver?
I like using the same swing for all clubs
Well done!
do you think that online lessons will change with mevo+ coming out? You can share on social media platform as well?
not sure how the mevo+ will change how I do online lessons, is their something cool coming with it??

So your first move in down swing is squat or external front knee?
happens together =)
Every time I try this it's chunk city, I must be doing it wrong.
haha, I've been doing it more and more lately for practice and if I get lazy in my spring back up, I will hit miles behind the ball.. basically cant be lazy.. and it feels powerful
Holf your impact angles you want hit it fat.
Probably not pushing back up and/or pulling your hands down =P
I've had the same issue trying to do this. Hit it fat every time. Just doesn't feel natural for me personally.
Same for me, suspect its my arms as its something I have done before. I do think that if I get to do this enough and think about my arms my coordination will adjust it and get it going eventually. I get it well at half swings combined with the impact position start and see strike and flights like I have not done before. Just needs more work.
I can do this perfectly when swinging into an impact bag, but it falls apart when hitting a ball. Golf...
Could you gives us a reference of a pga tour player who’s doing it properly. This could help us better understand. Thanks Larry !
Rory does it better than anybody in my opinion.
Rory is a good reference =)
The majority do this move if you watch in slow motion.
Lovely!

That's great man, keep it up!! =)
Just noticed my typo...feel like the RIGHT arm (trail arm) stays straight.
Do you feel like you transfer your weight to the left side and when if so, when do you do it in the downswing?

So you're telling me I can't fake it till I make it?!?
not in this department =P
