Malaska Golf // Pitching Lesson: Building Your Golf Swing with LPGA Pro Giulia Sergas
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 дек 2018
- To build a consistent golf swing you have to start small. I recently posted a series with Giulia Sergas, former LPGA Pro, Olympic Golfer and owner of Italy Dream Golf (www.italydreamgolf.com). We worked backwards from impact on the practice green, taking a look at several lessons until we got here on the driving range talking about pitching.

Don't just play golf. Understand it.

I am a teacher and player and this teaching is closer to a real and simple golf swing as I have ever seen.
Malaska is the best teacher out there. I started when I was a teenager and stopped mid twenties. Im 37 and only now I really learned how to make good contact with the ball. I've been watching Malaska videos for abt 10 months. Practicing for 6 months and Finally eureka moment came yesterday and getting more natural that pro transition movement. And hitting solid and effortless getting the hip out of the way. Only missed 5 balls out of 240 balls hit.
This is one of the best free lessons of all time on RUclips. Incredible amount of knowledge packed in this video.
Totally agree with this. Huge amount of info (great info) and so many visual/skills ideas
So glad I found Mike Malaska.
I agree...I couldn't word it better.
It's perfect
I think Mike is the very best teacher in golf today.
Had I discovered Mike 10 years ago (after 41 years of really bad golf), I am fairly confident that I could have achieved my one and only golf goal: to break 90 once.
"This picture has ruined more players.." -absolute truth. Thank you!
I have only been following the channel for a few days and for sure my whole concept of the golf swing has radically changed. I have been trying to force the club to do all sorts of things rather than allowing it to do what it should do naturally. My grip pressure now stays very light, even through impact and, without thinking about it, my head stays on the ball until my shoulders pull it around. All in all a revalation, I agree with other comments that the channel is the best on You Tube. Thank you so much Mike.

Thanks once again Mike (and Guilia)! This might be one of your best videos ever. So many nuggets of knowledge & visual training cues! Every golfer needs to see this!
Best teacher out there
I will second that.
Real life ah ha moment. This is probably the best information I have ever seen. Thanks mike!
OMG, this stuff is GOLD!
Man you have such great lessons and make soooo much sense. Mike , you are a great teacher.
Mike this was fantastic. I took it to the course and it made the biggest difference. Thank you so very much.
oh what a perfect lesson! was just told during a fitting that I setup with the club face open and behind the ball. When the fitter reset me correctly it looked exactly how Mike describes it here - way out in front and closed. Super helpful to know what visual i'm looking for. No one has ever explained it before.
Wow Mike ! One of the best videos you have done! add to your greatest hits! Packed full of info, i have watched over and over and will keep watching. The swing in a nut shell. Thank you!
Totally agree. The whole shaft lean concept at setup is mind blowing. I've been utilizing Mike's concepts for about 2 years now and tried this out last night. It was amazing how easy it was to get into a solid impact position.
Excellent progression of connecting the dots. From putting,chipping and pitching with the focus on impact vs trying to get the ball in the air . Nicely done, understanding the swing not just playing. Thanks Mike
One of the best videos to watch. A lesson with Mike is on my bucket list.
Awesome stuff as usual Mike! My students have always responded best to the ideas you shared with me over the years!
Thanks Mike, I have not played golf in 4 years. I was so frustrated. After watching just one video of yours, I'm back....Seriously. Thank you so much!
Awesome pointers Mr. Mike !
Bravo ! 😊👍🥂🇨🇦
One of your best vids yet.
a-huh-huh, thank you very much
great lesson. Glad I watched that.
Great video and nice team work!
as a 6'5" guy that lag move killed my game. I kept trying to hold the angle and it made me so handsy and made me lunge at the ball. I heard Nick Faldo talking about tall players just need to let the angle release and just fall from the top. It really worked. I really like Mr. Malaska's teaching style and understanding of the swing.
What a teacher. 👍
Insane! Making years of analysing simple. Addicted to Malaskas way of helping me Strip down all my pieces to a bigger picture Trusting feel and natruality.
A ha ha moment for me, I can now actually feel the proper release and understand what Jack Nicklaus meant by release at the top. Many thanks 🙏
Spent many years stuck on head position, left arm straight, lag angles etc, etc and never been consistent only with handicap staying around 21. Watched a few of Mikes videos and focused only on impact position and how to get there changed my golf game dramatically! Thank you Mike!
So came across this, saw the title, sighed and thought, no, who wants to sit through a video on pitching, blah blah blah. Boy was I wrong! One of the best instructional pieces I've seen in a long time, especially all the insight about optical illusions and how it can really mess with people's swing paths and start lines. Well done and thanks, Mike, love your stuff.
great interactive instruction thanks.
I hope i saw this video 20 years ago. This is one of the secrets of golf.
Great video, the one arm chipping is a great idea for teaching correct hand action, The German who won the US open at Pinehurst was Martin Kaymer who if my memory serves me right hardly hit a pitch or chip all week , prefering to use his putter and win by 8 shots, what ever it takes LOL.
Wow wonderful lesson.TQ Mark
Mike is one of the best. I sense he's preparing Giulia for her own coaching career.
*Martin "that German guy" Kaymer. :-)
Incredible.
Amen. Second time watching ;absolutely spot on with the sight line.
I missed this point. Is he saying you should aim farther right?
Great video. Thanks
Brilliant 👌🏻
Amazing coach cant wait to hit the lotto so I can hire him.
Me too!
Thanks Mike,,,more tips the better I Play,,,
Excelent!
Thank you
I am here is South Africa and i was thinking how can I repay this man and his talent that has helped me for FREE !! Mike I am going to buy your book and I hope that everyone you helped does the same. Thank you for sharing your hard earned knowledge. I will post this on all your RUclips videos because you deserve it. BOOKS:= I Feel Your Pain: Let's Make Golf Uncomplicated: Mike Malaska and the new book when it gets released The Invisible Swing Mike Malaska
Mike is the man.
Mike, you are a master! You have completely changed my game. Thank you!!
The inner game of golf in practice...this vid.
Amazing, thats just so true that dam lag thing and picture has created so much trouble.
Throw the ball love it!
Won a sub here such practical advice that can help us all enjoy gold more.
How you don't have 3-400k subs is beyond me.
My phone is obviously spying on me lol, my pitching game yesterday was something to forget about, I need to go now to the range and only start applying this,
Another great video Mike! Do you any advice on trying to reduce that visual "bias"?
Hello Giulio !!!!!
You can just see her talent and intelligence level. Shows why she is a pro.
Martin from Rugby (UK) ..... Followed you for ages and you have simplified the golf swing in my head, I've watched a couple of other teaching pros who suggest chipping with the toe down, what are the benefits please Mike, I trust your answer more than any other, best regards
Good job on balance GP stud boy
Hello Mr. Malaska,
Would being left eye dominant change anything in the swing?
Thank you,
Darren
8:45 is Matthew Wolff's preswing move.
Depending upon the distance of the shot (fringe v. 35 yds), I thought it was necessary to finish facing the target requiring the hips to rotate ...
For another demo try setting up normal then drift and/or rotate your head 1-2 inches left, then right, and see how different the club looks even when it’s standing still. Head position is not discussed enough.
The vertical stick on the play line makes the visual perception more difficult by the visual parallax.
Would this all change for a left eye dominant player?
4:35 That's what she said!
Giggity!
I would love to have a conversation with him. My dream is to maybe one day meet him and discuss the swing.
Truly man, interesting guy, lots of knowledge but so different thebwsy he explains it
How does one hit to the target when they don't know where that target actually is?
Gem
For any of you guitar players out there... if you recall first starting scale practice... how slow and monotonous it was? It's even more intense with golf.
It is only worse if you've engrained certain habits.. but not impossible. Play slow for 3 days straight... don't worry about distance... where the ball goes..focus solely on slow takeaway and practice swings. If you can do this... I PROMISE... your perception will start to shift and you'll become super involved from the discoveries due to this slow motion. The club won't allow you to swing incorrectly, if you do, it will feel really "wrong".
@10:20 This is EXACTLY what gets people. I'm guilty of it time and time again. I'll have this nice easy swing going, and wonder if It's "ok" or "right".
End of the day, you have to stick with what is working for you. If you have a clear picture of what you want to do, and you achieve that... don't try and "improve" anything. Just go out and play. Enjoy the game. It's when you don't know what you're doing to cause the result that burdens a person. I know for a fact no one likes "getting it" and then the next day they are warming up and shanking balls with a wedge or not "seeing" what they saw the day prior. Cameras are huge, but writing down things benefits you more than anything. If you wanna take anything seriously, you gotta put your heart into it and not worry about what others are saying or doing. COUGH Moe Norman COUGH. is a prime example of NOT GIVING A FUCK ABOUT THE STANDARD. Pardon my language.
This Guy is a fair dinkum genius!
Take a tiny backswing now/ proceeds with full swing
5:53 - I tried this. Actually, "Proper path doesn't look correct because you are NOT standing over the ball."
I will say women take ego out of learning. Women players are usually a lot more coach able.
Kaymer
so Funny she just wants Mike to get the hell out of the way so she can hit!!!
I don’t think “impact” is in fact the most important thing in the game. Yes impact is a scientific fact but unless you feel you are swinging through the ball it is hopeless. Thinking “impact” creates a direct hitter of the ball. Please don’t get me wrong. I think 95 percent of mike’s teaching is incredibly good.
He wasn’t saying impact is the most important, but that it’s the point of the swing.
Impact is the moment of truth, of course it's the most important thing
@@richyclubsport5155 yes you're right
@@richyclubsport5155 No dear, Impact is the by-product of a good swing which is the by-product of a comprehensive understanding of the swing itself. Uttering the word impact conveys no knowledge Also the word "Impact" suggests a stopping at the ball or a meeting of the ball which is dead wrong as a feeling. Unless the swing is felt like a sweeping motion the effort is useless
@@luissuarez5138 think I know what I'm talking about, been a plus handicap golfer at one point, still playing of low single digits at almost 70, impact is everything, the moment of truth, the swing means nothing, I can hit draws fades high low all depending on how my hands are at impact. To much paralysis by analyst, no wonder handicap despite technology are the same average as when I started playing
*Uhm hmm....
It's such a common thing. Taking it inside too much.
The ritzy chord covalently kill because plot scientifically spot alongside a hilarious hexagon. deafening, yellow pond
She's a talker.
Good information but I find Guila a little supercilious at times. Many of us have spent way too much money for bad lessons. It not always that we're "not paying attention "
SHE TALKS TOO MUCH....
I know what you mean. But I think a lot of students talk when they are excited about new discoveries. Can’t contain their passion and jubilation. Most of the time they’re not mic’d up. Giulia was. 🤷♂️
why can't she just listen and have to try and cut him off every time? so bloody annoying and distracting
Best teacher out there
