I have been playing golf for 30 years and I sware to God I had tried this method today at the driving range ,my wedge hitting 130 yards and straight every time 😮😮😮 please let this new swing work every time 🙏🙏🙏
With this most important drill, you made my day. And actually, you made my week, my month, my year, my life. Yes, incredibly enough, this particular drill has solved years and years of frustration regarding my ability - better say disability - to hit the golf ball properly. Million of thanks.
The best dude in yt about golf tips. Ive watched and implemented nearly every knowledge you share in all your videos. And it works. Simple explanation. Easy to digest. Very practical. Thanks jo.
turn my chest into my left arm and then let it go what a clear and clean explanation of the move. I never had this presentation before ...........thankyou so much
This is the first video I've seen about this issue. Now that I'm aware of this pressure between chest and lead arm I'll try and incorporate it into my swing. Thanks a bunch.
Great video Jonathan tried it at the range and fixed two problems right away completing my back swing and creating lag on downswing! Hit the ball great; with a baby draw finally! Very excited about taking it to the golf course. Thanks for sharing J.
Been playing golf 60 years. Remember years ago watching Jimmy Ballard and he talked about the shoulder girdle. To me the way you explain it makes it easier to understand.
Went through a grueling 2 yr swing change to get rid of over the top overswing, but I believe I had this move during my transition and hit my irons long and far. New swing looks and performs a lot better, but I have lost some distance. I believe this is the piece that's missing. Thanks for this video!
Very interesting. So many instructors say the opposite. They say to keep your hands and arms in front of your body at all times. Clearly that is not how the pros hit. What you are showing mirrors what the pros are doing biomechancally...thank you for posting.
Looking forward to trying this again. Only one pro told me to do this several years ago and it really helped. I’m not sure why I went away from it (probably too many RUclips videos talking about the perfect triangle with hands in front and center at all times), but hope it will also help with shot consistency.
Appreciate the videos! This seems to deviate from the idea of a very “connected” swing. Guys like Porzak Golf comes to mind as one who preaches this. If we suppose that a more connected swing (stiff and lacking of speed as it may be), is more accurate because it syncs up the lower and upper body better, what “feel” or method do you propose to make sure your upper body and lower body syncs up correctly? In my head, i would think you’d then have to almost wait on the arms (by driving them downwards) before rotating or use more force to speed them up, but that goes against the “lower body first” or principle of using the ground. Hope it makes sense, and again, very much appreciating the videos 😊
I used that move on my irons and yes it made it effortless and I compressing the ball so much better. Distances are much longer and apex is higher. Thank you. Would you use this movement on your driver?
My swing is different than yours (I think), but this tip can be used in mine. I will use it at a lightly differnt part of the swing, but I believe it will be effective. I will try it today!
Thank you, in watching your correct swing, I think I also see your left shoulder lifting up a little, at the moment when your left arm presses into your chest. Definitely look like a more relaxed and natural move. Prob. for me, a point to pay attention to.
I’ve heard to press your left arm against chest at start of downswing. Is that too late? It appears that if you do this during backswing then your backswing would be too flat? Turning into the left arm is a concept that has helped me. Thanks!
I was afraid of getting my arms stuck behind me, so I've been synchronizing my arms with my chest. But I ca see how this causes issues e.g. lag, power, etc. thanks very much!
Great video. In your opinion should the down swing speed be generated by the left arm whipping motion like throw a frisbe or right arm throwing/skipping a rock? I know different coaches have a different style of what they think it’s the most “ideal” swing
Interesting- I always thought you should avoid this and that “folding your arms across your chest” would get you stuck and over the top. Have I been thinking about this entirely wrong or misunderstanding? Would love your thoughts on the above. (Love your videos btw)
I hypothesize that what I stuggle with is rarely talking about on any videos... tightness. My shoulders and trunk do not move nearly as fluid as yours do. I feel like I get to a certain point in backswing and feelt stiff/stretch and unload all out of sequence and out of plane.
I seem to get “stuck” when I focus on this. I tend to hook the ball and when I press the lead arm against my chest I seem to have a more inside out path and the ball hooks more. Any advice?
Good Lord! I have always felt like the pros withheld “The Secret” to golf. You were not supposed to release this information. Now we know. Nothing will stop us now! You ,my friend, are going to be scorned and ridiculed for treason. Victory! For real though, Thank you!
Yes for a split second there is very quick deceleration but the action of straightening the trail arm through impact also promotes the lead arm move away from the chest
I think it's important to understand that you should be engaging the core and leg muscles during this movement as well. This is your only time to engage everything to deliver the hit. It's too late afterwards, and doing so before is pointless.
So when you do this. it looks like the left arm is PULLED into the hitting area with the left shoulder and the rotation of. the chest. This must mean that trying to "shallow" the club in the downswing by controlling and flattening the downsiwng plane is unnecessary and in fact impossible to do?
Can you imagine what it is like for a woman?? Wish there is a lady golf pro talking about this left arm pressing against the chest - our physique stops our left arm to achieve a full back swing!!!
@@rp2974 Well, AMG uses the data they gather with gears to decide what's true. Check out their Pros Vs Ams on "Create lag in your golf swing". Basically the Pros are measured to not pull their arm far across their chest in the backswing, and that allows them to get it further forward in the downswing, while Ams all think they have to pull their arm way across their chest, so they make more work for themselves to get to a better contact position. It's a pretty remarkable video.
Weird all the positive comments, this is the exact opposite of what good players do. Tour players have tiny amounts of pinning (adduction) in their backswings; even those with excessive looking downcocks. It’s the main reason they produce shaft lean. The move in this video will actually produce less hand speed early in the down swing I.e. the time you need it most.
I normaly appreciate your explanations, short and at the point. But this one is against the principles that athletic golf motion detected with the 3d gear system. AMG compares typical pro data with the lead arm abduction against amateurs. The pros have all much less of lead arm abduction typically only the half then the amateurs. The very good explanation of these facts starts at 8:50 in this video: ruclips.net/video/4FllwDHWGxk/видео.html
Interesting, but in my opinion, this is not correct. 1) You are over exaggerating the wide swing. You can let the right arm fold a bit. You do want some space. 2) Your arms are now too far behind you and have to play catch up, which you will have to manipulate the club more to do so. You just trapped your arms on the downswing. Thanks, for the video though.
The over exaggeration is to show what it would look like to viewers. It is a well known fact that the lead arm loads into the chest and pulls away from it through impact which is a key movement for power production.
Absolutely, the best lesssons I have ever had
I have been playing golf for 30 years and I sware to God I had tried this method today at the driving range ,my wedge hitting 130 yards and straight every time 😮😮😮 please let this new swing work every time 🙏🙏🙏
Another biomechanical gem! Other instructors don't mention these nuances.
With this most important drill, you made my day. And actually, you made my week, my month, my year, my life. Yes, incredibly enough, this particular drill has solved years and years of frustration regarding my ability - better say disability - to hit the golf ball properly. Million of thanks.
Hands down this was the best video I found on adding speed and getting my show shape to draw. Thank you!

You are the best Asian golfer in the world bro, probably the universe.

Excellent tips. Clear and simple.

Great to hear!
Thanks for the great info, I always felt stiff throughout my swing, can’t wait to try this!
You are a natural teacher.bso good. I don't see this kind of instruction anywhere. Thank you.
Very very good explanation. Do this correct with fast hand speed coming down and that’s how you create fast club head speed
Great drill for a powerful downswing. Really feel it in the shoulder creating speed and helping with tempo. Thanks
Been playing golf 60 years. Remember years ago watching Jimmy Ballard and he talked about the shoulder girdle. To me the way you explain it makes it easier to understand.
i really feel it! it makes it much easier to generate faster club head!!
At 8:44 your fluid loading movement really illustrates the proper concept !
This really solves my problem in backswing. Thank you so much
The best lesson I learnt how to get more speeed. Thank you!
Went through a grueling 2 yr swing change to get rid of over the top overswing, but I believe I had this move during my transition and hit my irons long and far.

Thank you for this post! This is the “feel” that I’ve been missing!
Thank you for the great tip can’t wait to give it a go
Great advice as always.👍👍

excellent question! i have just been watching lotsa videos and trying to get more speed with driver!
A gem of a tip. Thank you.
Thank you for all your videos, can you make a video on the trail arm and hand speed at the top of the downswing or getting into the "Pocket"
Very comprehensively explained 👍
My swing is different than yours (I think), but this tip can be used in mine. I will use it at a lightly differnt part of the swing, but I believe it will be effective. I will try it today!
Thank you. I thought I was swinging incorrectly, when I swung like that. Nice tip!
Insightful vid; thank you for sharing.
Thank you, in watching your correct swing, I think I also see your left shoulder lifting up a little, at the moment when your left arm presses into your chest. Definitely look like a more relaxed and natural move. Prob. for me, a point to pay attention to.
Very good video. I wasn’t doing the right move. Thanks 🙏 🎉
Great feel explanation, thank you!
Thank you!
This did help me..
That was great!1 Thank you!!
I’ve heard to press your left arm against chest at start of downswing. Is that too late? It appears that if you do this during backswing then your backswing would be too flat? Turning into the left arm is a concept that has helped me. Thanks!
So which swing will give more distance. Using body or this one?
Nice stuff will try it.
I was afraid of getting my arms stuck behind me, so I've been synchronizing my arms with my chest. But I ca see how this causes issues e.g. lag, power, etc. thanks very much!
You know I just started doing that 2 weeks ago and ta exactly that. Coach thought me and that’s how you generate power with that lag.
Just might be the drill I'm looking for. Thanks
Some time ago, you advised that front arm should not press against the chest!
Excellent!!
Very informative video.. thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
I must try this today..
Great advice 👍. 🙏
Absolutely super
Great, useful video.
Great video. In your opinion should the down swing speed be generated by the left arm whipping motion like throw a frisbe or right arm throwing/skipping a rock? I know different coaches have a different style of what they think it’s the most “ideal” swing
Honestly it’s both. When you straighten the trail arm it helps to push the left arm away from your chest. They are both related
Thank you so much!
Great!! Thanks .
Interesting- I always thought you should avoid this and that “folding your arms across your chest” would get you stuck and over the top. Have I been thinking about this entirely wrong or misunderstanding? Would love your thoughts on the above. (Love your videos btw)
Same question. I’ve always been told to focus on not getting your arms stuck behind you in the downswing or it could mess up sequence in many ways.
I hypothesize that what I stuggle with is rarely talking about on any videos... tightness. My shoulders and trunk do not move nearly as fluid as yours do. I feel like I get to a certain point in backswing and feelt stiff/stretch and unload all out of sequence and out of plane.

Does the chest actually pause or stall to allow the adducted left arm to fly off the chest as you describe? When in the downswing should this occur?
Yes for a split second there is very quick deceleration but the action of straightening the trail arm through impact also promotes the lead arm move away from the chest
I think it's important to understand that you should be engaging the core and leg muscles during this movement as well. This is your only time to engage everything to deliver the hit. It's too late afterwards, and doing so before is pointless.
Gold 👍
Like trying to throw a Frisbee, backhanded style.
Great shirt

If you look at most women golfers they would do the same thing but their lead arm is usually positioned above and not directly into haha
How does this pertain to the driver?
Happens the same
Mmm… AMG and others pretty much directly contradict this with their data.
Do they? Its so hard to know who to trust
@@rp2974 Well, AMG uses the data they gather with gears to decide what's true. Check out their Pros Vs Ams on "Create lag in your golf swing".

so what's ur country? korean? american? 어디놈이냐?
More proof that the so-called right-hand swing is actually much more left-handed.
Not necessarily, you can pour on the right hand throw as it’s moving off the chest. Right arm still extends and this adds speed.
@@surfspear You can make the right hand swing without a right arm.
