Mr. Wang I just tried your whole body rotation and it the best swing I've ever experienced. It was no pressure on my back, hitting the driver the tee never came out of the ground. It's a really simple and powerful swing and I'm 63 years old even though I was hitting into a net I could feel the speed and power unleashed. Thank you
Mr. Wang, this is the single best lesson on the swing that I have ever been taught, witnessed at a clinic, seen on video or read in a book. I am 68 years old and have been playing since I was five. You have a new subscriber and devotee. Thank you.
Twenty years of restricting my torso in the golf swing and one visit to your channel has corrected that horrible technique...Thank you for posting this...I'm sure this video will help countless, clueless, golf lovers out there who have been lead down the wrong road, and fed disinformation about how a proper golf swing should be executed...Brilliant!!!!!
Body friendly with effortless power due to a bigger turn. Plus you're less likely to sway or steepen the club coming down. I connect my lead arm until the throw. Thanks!
I mean I really dont understand what this guy is talking about. Who coils like that with the lower body completely inactive? Every single pro does what he is doing in this video, the lead knee bends, lead hip dips down as the upper body rotates, its all in sync together.
I think he is referencing the technique known as the "X-Factor"...I remember this concept where your lower body should stay as still as possible while your upper body turns... Supposedly allowing for more coil...
@@tonyshans2226 The lower body should stop coiling at some point before the upper body. I am not famimliar with this x factor but I will assume people misunderstood it. And he just moved the coiling into downswing, this is what Jon Rahm does. I dont think anyome ever said that the lower body stays completely still.
@@outlander234Jim McClain back in the sat popularized the x factor move and ideally, we all have the physical capability to have a huge difference between the turning of the upper body and a minimal turn of the lower. His point is that most of us don't. Hence rather than trying to get that differential on your backswing, you do it on your downswing.
Kevin, what a great explanation. As a much younger man, I threw the frisbee a lot and far! When we really wanted to rip it, I specifically remember turning the legs and hips hard, then pulling the torso around, and finally letting the arms and wrists just RIP!!! Now I get sequence. Funny, no one ever had to teach us that with the frisbee! But when you put a club in our hands, our athletic instincts just bleed our of our feet! Thanks, again!
This is such a gem, simple and concise to the point for all the golfer, especially for senior, baseball is exactly concrete evidence. Sub your channel.
The absolute single best swing tip!!! Covers the takeaway, downswing, and follow-thru without over-complicating. I watched this video yesterday and went to the range immediately after, best and most consistent range session I’ve had. Went to the range earlier and same consistent results. Thanks a million
This can be very useful swing thought for many golfers. By not thinking about the separation, but the movement and the end goal they can stop limiting their motion and, some of them, stop hitting with their hands. And if you stop this video at the top of the backswing at around 5:47 for example, you see that there is separation. Shoulders have turned more than pelvis. Not 90 degrees (or even more like some pros), but probably an amount that feel comfortable for him. Only thing missing here (that some other YT coaches are saying, even if they talk about the separation) is that you can lift the heel of your front foot to get more turn on your hips. I used that at one point just to have a "trigger" for my downswing; start by planting that heel and it's almost granted that you start with your hips.
You are 100% correct! Jim McLean killed many amateur golfers swings with his X-factor article in Golf Digest many years ago. Unfortunately, there is a lot of bad instruction out there and we have no way to separate the good from the bad which leads to constant doubt. No wonder we struggle.
@rw_golf6387 To this day Jim McLean still pushes that X-Factor B.S. along with his 21 "death moves", or however many he decides to chat about. I heard him on Mark Immelman's podcast (which is terrific) and he must have mentioned "X-Factor" 200 times. I mean, how archaic of an approach to golf instruction is that?
Thankfully there is a market of ideas. Pure physics approach is going to be the best no matter what. Lots of propaganda took hold before this internet thing. It really is crazy.
McClain in his defense, is still technically correct. But as this guy says, not all of us have the capability to create the x factor on the backswing, so it might be easier to do so on the downswing swing. But McClain is still correct. That differential is still important. How you get that differential might be more nuanced.
I am not as flexible as i used to. So this will help me and others a lot. That back swing coil thing destroyed me now but was good back then. Good tips.
Well said. No one ever understands me when I say I create torque in my down swing. The only thing I do that you don't say is, I don't release the club. The release that you show in the clip I believe happens as a result. Let's see if I can make sense of what I feel/do. The release you show (in my mind) is the proper path. I make the release in practice swings but when I swing for real I have this anticipated swing path that I plan to repeat. As I start the downswing I apply pressure or better said acceleration. I don't hold the release but focus on having a constant build up of pressure so I stay dynamic. At impact I still feel dynamic as the club goes through impact and the torque releases itself. Does that make sense
100% correct. As an addition to what's been said in the video, a lot of amateurs will find issues with the timing off the turn, so it is possible to pre set the shoulders and hips at address, which leaves you with just an arm back swing (to get the rubber band feeling you mentioned) and then follow through. This pre set also guarantees a draw. For anyone interested this is generally called stack and tilt, but some instructors have variations. Saguto and Jim Venetos have good examples of this.
Great explanation. Important I believe it cos my son throws his club similar to the way you do it. His 7 iron is 170 m carry as logged on the simulator on the range. There is both visual and electronic verification. My other son same age don't seem to be able to generate the same speed and his swing does not seem to have the throws pattern like yours. He average 140 m for his 7. Still alright but I believe in using your body both upper and lower to throw the arms with the club together across the ball.
I agree with pretty much everything spoken about here. The only caution is that "throwing the club at the target" should be done with zero tension in the arms and wrists. All good, great video.
Would the feeling be like you want to throw/ release your club out? If so is thdt something you can show us to try throwing the club into a net? Thank you
This is what I’ve been telling people for years. Unfortunately it took me years to find this out for myself, I remember when the “X Factor “ story came out in golf digest and I bought it hook line and sinker, to my own detriment.
This goes against everything I’ve heard on Utube. Pete Cowin even says to coil to the top. Hips open 45° and shoulders open 90°. I think this could be the key for me. Gonna try it this week. It sure makes a lot of sense. Great lesson!
Thank you for your great videos. When I watch your swing in slow motion, it looks like you are using a really weak shaft. Is this right or just a distortion? Greetings, Richard
My brain clicked when you said "lower body goes, then my arms" along with the hip movement. It was like learning about stick shifting or riding a bicycle/snowboarding/skateboarding/skiing, our brain clicks goes "Ooooooh, that makes sense." I'm only a year into learning and playing golf from complete scratch as a newbie. Thank you for this gold nugget of golf information! I will practice in front of the mirror to get down the flexibility.
Kevin...noticed that your head appears to move a bit i.e. to the right and up in your back swing and down and back to setup position on your forward swing. Can you please clarify this a bit more? Doesn't moving your head promote an inconsistent swing? Thanks
This seems contrary to Leadbetter and the Pro's we see. In the back swing the pro's end up at 90 deg torso and 45 deg hips. In Leadbetter they taught coil in the backswing, but that in the coil process the hips will naturally stop earlier than the torso. what you seem to be saying is that the lower body and upper body "coil" the same in the back swing. is that right?
Just realized I get all of my golf habits from, its from my disc frisbee days as a kid. I couldnt throw it well regular, I flicked everything... as a right handed player
While the X-Factor has helped many golfers understand the relationship between body rotation and power, it has been criticized for its potential to lead to injury and for being less relevant in modern swing theory. Today, many instructors focus on a more balanced, athletic approach rather than maximizing separation between the hips and shoulders.
Cliff notes......for an instinctively safe swing; all rotation takes place BELOW the pelvis and cooperates with your anatomy. Check out the ball and socket joints at the top of the femurs located BELOW the pelvis. Vertebrae located above the pelvis are not designed for safe rotation. This is the root cause of a generation LOST.
It should maybe be mentioned that "coil" can mean a couple things. Pete Cowen emphasizes "coiling" but its relative to the entire body--starting from the ground up. Id think you'd support his instruction/theory no??
Unfortunately I am left handed thrower and a right handed golfer, guess I need to learn to throw right handed too. Of course I have been playing golf for 67 years, hope it isn’t too late!
@@kevinhwangjrastounded you responded to me. You are right, I was actually kidding a bit because I do still play decently but the thought of the frisbee throw is excellent. I struggled for years trying to get my right side better involved, maybe I should have always been just going with my strength😎
ok ok ok.... so you can't compare pitching and any other rotational movement to the golf swing. It has similarities but also very different. Pitchers don't use long clubs, and they throw much faster, bigger and vigorous movements (kinda more like long distance driver hitters). The key difference is most amateur golfers don't have the flexibility or strength to have an x-factor. In fact, most amateurs can't even touch their toes. So x-factor works but it requires flexibility strength and muscle memory of playing golf for years (correctly) to do it naturally. Listen to Dana Dahlquist talk about it in a recent video on Jerome Rufin's channel. He asks the question about x-factor. Dana's response is yes you need it for speed, but you don't need it to play golf.
@@MrLondinium I tried that squat move, but the timing through the bottom of the downswing more often than not, results in inconsistent ball strikes for me (fat and thin).
@@pappaflammyboi5799 that's what happened to me too but my coach pointed out that I was lifting my hands too much in the backswing. The snead squat only works if your hands stay below the shoulder line like Snead or Hogan
Human spines are not designed to twist and it does not have that recoil factor. Our spine is not elastic and we should do everything to protect it, if you apply excessive amount of torque to your spine you will effe it up very easily, please look at Tiger Woods
You know what? You're right. This explains why I'm always rebounding (bouncing) back from the top of my backswing. To stop it , I force myself to stop all motion at the top. But I find that I can't do that without a prolonged pause, and I look ridiculous. The other players might as well go out for their lunch at the top of my backswing. So now I'm experimenting with putting a loop at the top. But that has me hooking it a whole fairway over. I don't know what else to do? Any ideas?
Just tell me what is this video based on? Every single pro does what you do in this video. As the takeaway starts, the lead knee starts to bend, the lead hip dips down and upper body is rotating all in sync. The only time the lower body is more locked in is when you do approach wedge shots because you wanna limit the compressing and driving of the ball and you wanna give it higher ball flight and release the club earlier. Also the coil does happen at the end of the back swing, it has to happen, even the slightest, the upper body and lower body have to separate for the kinetic chain to activate properly.
I indirectly blame Tiger for promoting the “X” Factor Swing because of all the analysis of his powerful upper body swing when he was in his prime. Eventually it took its toll on his back and knees.
@@GoGetFletch I believe Tiger is one of a kind and his swing in the early 2000s to give home the benefit of the doubt had a X factor feel. However now even when he recently won the masters you can see him turning everything together compared to back in the day. The X factor is not a problem if you have to mobility 👍🏼

In the downswing are you dropping your hands straight down or not? Explain. Thank you

Right hand throw is the key.

Lower body slings upper body on downswing?
@@greggallego3111 yes just like throwing a ball or frisbee 👍🏼

Are you flipping your hands at impact to square the club?
Almost similar to Ben Hogan 🎉
Kevin can u demonstrate the downswing I notice that u dip on the way down
Every player dips down on the downswing. Its how you use the vertical force.
The MLB example is the BEST picture for the full downswing sequence, even better the the frisbee. Boo the X-Factor😂
Welp, I know what I'm gonna be working over the winter months.
