    All my years trying to figure out my swing I've never heard this explained so well. Great tip!!

    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.

    Biggest frustration is getting out of the car, 😂😜😂.
    I’m a solid iron player that struggles off the tee with driver.
    I know there’s no rule binding me to the mighty driver but, I know it can be a huge weapon for me if I can keep it off rooftops, pools, etc......
    Thanks for the great content!!

    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!

    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...........

  • @PeterLundberg123
    @PeterLundberg123 3 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.

  • @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.

  • @Belg6179
    @Belg6179 3 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.

  • @stevechase2364

    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.

  • @robertbrown8425
    @robertbrown8425 3 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!

  • @duanbu06
    @duanbu06 3 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!

  • @robertcuomo7084
    @robertcuomo7084 2 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.

  • @AMKGolf
    @AMKGolf 3 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 :)

    Oh man, my biggest frustration? My driver swing. I'm struggling to shallowing out the club without hurting what feels like my rotator cuff. But that being said, I just feel like I'm leaving a lot of speed on the table.

  • @fondu321
    @fondu321 Год назад

    Very clear amazing instruction here! Thanks you! For me this is my trigger and feel before and during the swing. I have tried so many but for me, this is my goto.

  • @garyshearer9681
    @garyshearer9681 3 года назад

    Wouldn’t know where to start with my frustration with my golf game, but I would say consistency in my ball striking would be #1. Your videos are fantastic, but it’s difficult to know if I’m applying them correctly.

    • @JKMGolf
      @JKMGolf  3 года назад +1

      You need to practice using tools that give you feedback instead of relying on your feel. If you have never seen your swing on video before I would highly recommend it!

    Yes it definitely helps! Great drill for feeling the exact movement of that elbow. I know that is a source for inconsistency in my shots. I promise to incorporate this little drill into a pre-shot routine.

  • @mikegordon4220
    @mikegordon4220 3 года назад

    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.

  • @ericbarwald2795
    @ericbarwald2795 3 года назад

    That external drill with the club is pure gold.
    My biggest frustration is not squaring the face at impact, especially with longer irons and driver. I almost always leave it open, causing a push slice.

  • @Aboomph8

  • @davee3951
    @davee3951 3 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.

  • @alancarlyon3928
    @alancarlyon3928 Год назад

    The lead hand/arm for a right handed golfer is his LEFT hand/arm, yet no instructor refers to what arm/hand one should use for the follow through! I ask this question as no one else does
    assuming the swing is = take away with the left and then follow through with the left - why if your right handed, then one watches the pro golfers - they seem to give it their full strength in which is their right side!

  • @JPCHOLAI
    @JPCHOLAI 3 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..

My one question would be I have a smooth swing and make great contact with all my clubs when using my net at home. At the course or even driving range I get jerky. Any advice to transfer smoothness to course would be appreciated. I hit it decent at course but feel tense. Thanks for the videos JKM!

    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!
