    Jonathan, you are one of if not The best at explaining and showing the proper mechanics of the golf swing and showing what most people do wrong. Then giving a good drill to help correct it. I’m really glad you take the time to do these instructional videos. I just want you to know how much it is appreciated.

    Love your videos jonathan. I've had multiple golf coaches and never had one explain everything as intuitive as you. My biggest issue currently is firing the hips too quick, but your video about proper lateral hip shift helped greatly. I'm now working on proper extension and low point control.

    I have been an improving golfer for more tha 40 years. Since finding you recently I have fixed my lack of power and flipping motion that just feels right intuitively but was killing distance and any chance to be consistent through the bag.
    Your instruction actually helped me finally find an impact position with lag accuracy and POWER.
    Thank you very much sir.
    Your drills and instruction and are excellent. Spot on.
    Wish you great success.
    My one issue is if I recommend you to my friends, they will be harder to beat. I recently won 17 out of 18 skins in my regular group and missed a 5 footer that would have pushed the one that got away.

    @robertbrown8425 4 года назад

    Problem has always been not clearing my lead hip quickly/at all - early extension, open club face and and block straight left (I'm left handed). Have always endeavoured to stay centred rather than "bump" right. I'll try the bump then rotate. Trail elbow - gr8, will start indoors as we are in lock down - again!

  • @justjames1111
    @justjames1111 2 года назад

    This is an Excellent video explanation of the role and function of the Trail Elbow and a Great Drill to train the correct move. When I took this idea to the course I just focused on 'keeping my trail elbow in front of my trail hip'. To start with it felt a bit awkward but as the round progressed it began to feel easier. However, the quality of my ball striking was taken to just another level, and one I hadn't experienced before. Drives going 280+, irons going easily two clubs further, making par 5's in two, it felt incredible.

    Sensei, greetings from Japan!
    Thank you so much for this video! You just single-handedly cured my slice, bruising of my finger and loss of power!
    I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I was slicing and losing power so much and I realized my trail elbow was swinging like how you swing a baseball bat.
    Now, ever since doing the trailing elbow, my irons sounds so good and they fly 20-30 yards more than before!
    I'm currently working on releasing the golf club now, will look into your video on that!
    Again, thank you!

  • @PeterLundberg123
    @PeterLundberg123 4 года назад +1

    Thank you, Jonathan. I’ll put that drill into my exercise regimen as my main issue (especially with driver and FW) is that the shaft get to steep in the downswing. Rob knows this better than anyone. I try to tuck my trail elbow to my waist and keep it there throughout the swing. Works quite ok on short and mid irons, but not always at the top of the bag. Merry Christmas. Stay safe and Covid free. Keep the videos coming.

  • @AMKGolf
    @AMKGolf 4 года назад

    The biggest frustration with my swing: the driver swing. Started golf half a year ago and been picking it up fast but the Driver has been a constant experiment for me. My natural swing motion is to hit a huge slice on it - I've tried to fix this by exaggerating the draw motion (hitting inside to out, shallowing, closed face), but it feels like I'm over doing it and now fighting a huge top spin hook and missing to the left. Also, I feel like I can't swing as freely doing this and I'm losing quite a bit of distance.
    Thanks for doing this Johnathan and GL to everyone. Happy holidays :)

  • @robertcuomo7084
    @robertcuomo7084 3 года назад

    I have seen this drill for the trail elbow before. Problem is one cannot do this tweak holding a club in that manner AND swing another club at the same time, lol. Same with drills to help stop the shoulder from coming out and around in the downswing instead of down. Guess why there are so many high handicappers out there in the wild, lol. Thanks for the video, it is helpful like others are and all we can do is to continue to work on them.

  • @Belg6179
    @Belg6179 4 года назад

    Jonathan. Many, many thanks for this video. I have been frustrated due to knowing my chief problems with lack of power stem from my elbow and then follow through. Your drill with the club behind the shoulder is absolute GOLD! I did it five or six times and then realized that THIS was my missing "feel". My brain thought I was doing this but clearly I was not. I stroked a dozen shots after the drill and the power and follow through felt amazing. Thank you so much.

  • @duanbu06
    @duanbu06 4 года назад

    I have just started golf for like 3 months. My biggest frustration for my golf right now is the inconsistancy, mostly with hitting slices. Sometimes i hit mean shots, but majority of time i hit bad slices. So hopefully I got chosen and got my swing analysed and fixed. Thank you!

  • @stevechase2364
    @stevechase2364 2 года назад

    Really enjoy all your videos, especially those focused on slices or fades right. Retired a few years ago and took up golfing late (68). This my second season playing with scores averaging on my best days in the mid 80s and on a bad day upper 90s. My challenges results from frequently push shots right or have long clubs start straight and fade right. I will keep working on squaring the face - you keep delivering your non gimmick approach and guidance. Keep up the good work.

    @johnbrown-wi6zy 3 года назад

    Your intentions are good young man, but you are trying to fix the oldest swing fault in golf... very very tough for the average golfer do attain. much much easier way to solve the problem of coming over the top, you are trying to cure the faults you are seeing the body make instead of understanding why the body is getting in these positions,this is the key to being a golf pro...........i would be only to glad to share my fix if anyone is at all interested... its so so easy guys...........

  • @davee3951
    @davee3951 4 года назад

    I make a habit of presetting some external rotation by turning the right elbow in and pointing it more down, while gripping the club. After that all I have to do, is keep a constant distance between the elbows until after impact. I don't have enough shoulder mobility to get the kind of external rotation that more flexible players can get, during the swing but presetting the right elbow really helps.

    My biggest frustration is a top of backswing position that is laid off at the top, even though the club going back is only a little under the plane. I am building a better backswing path and using the Swingyde tool to help set a more vertical shaft position.

    Hi Jonathan, Great golf swing analysis by the way ... My biggest frustration is moving into the ball on my downswing. This causes numerous faults and leads to inconsistent ball strikes and a grumpy golfer (Ha Ha). Anyway I can't seem to shake it !!! Cheers and Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.

  • @peteruwatch2970
    @peteruwatch2970 3 года назад

    Thank you Jonathan.
    My biggest frustration is that my swing requires non stop repetition. That is, if I miss a few days or a week of swinging, it’s like starting all over to a degree.
    How do I not lose my momentum? Also, when you use external rotation of trail arm, its hard to understand how you hit the ball from that position. Can you explain how you get back down to the ball from a club that feels compromised from the external rotation? Thanks!

  • @JPCHOLAI
    @JPCHOLAI 4 года назад

    So you flatten the swing by opening up the trail arm, which opens the club face, then you close the club face as you coming to impact by rotating your elbows?
    A video on this sequence and transition through to release may help..your videos are very practical and effective..

  • @retired8123
    @retired8123 4 года назад

    I have a question about body position at contact & finish for different clubs. With irons I have heard the expression cover the ball with the chest at contact and finish weight on the front foot.
    Driver we stay a bit more behind the ball at contact...I am unsure how our finish position should be...is it the same with weight over front foot?
    A lot of people talk about a hanging back feeling because they are told to hit up on the driver but then they don't get their weight transferred as much.
    Is the hanging back feeling the wrong technique to hit up on the ball? Rory always said his dad drilled finish position since he was little and he always has that posing look at the end of his shots.
    How does he hit up on the ball& through the ball with driver and finish in such a nice transfer of weight and balance on the front foot.
    Maybe this can be a video topic...thanks for all the great content!!!

    Hi JONATHAN. I have a question for you . THank you very much for your lessons they are very helphul.
    i heard some said to hold the angle of r wrist until contact and some said you have to pronate yur wrist so you can have speed.
    What would you recommend. Thanks

  • @jesselucas299

  • @LAGGEDnLOADED

  • @seniorswing8441
    @seniorswing8441 3 года назад

    Hello, yoy make an excellent notice when the right elbow goes out with internal move. I would like to ask, the right wrist bends more coming down from P4 to P5, before the external movement happens ( the right elbow squeezes to the left)?

    • @JKMGolf
