Well Done! In watching tour players noticed that Jon Rahm looked like his hands were going to hit his thighs, they are/were so close to his body in the downswing. Works for me when I do it, just not often enough - more practice/drill to work this. Thank You!
I recently subscribed to your channel and I am glad I did, especially after seeing this excellent explanation of where the hands need to be before and during impact. Some instructors disagree with the use of 'the towel' drill, but your use of it seems appropriate and beneficial. I feel your emphasis on having the hands connected to the body during the downswing really comes accross and is effective. Thank you.
Thank you! This should help to find the right distance from the ball at setup, I suppose? My fault is to find myself reaching for the ball...alas...as you illustrated...but the problem is more accentuated with the driver.
Thank you, at last a coach explains shaft angle through impact 😊. I’ve seen a lot of videos where the swing is demonstrated at shoulder level with the shaft and arms pointing straight out, which is confusing because it implies straight arms at impact. I agree, you get more speed if you work the handle close and around the body, and leave the hit until you can get the hands back in their original plane. Just practicing the swoosh in the impact area seems to help me too. I find you need to step in hard with your leading foot to start this sequence though.
Nice technical concept coaching Carolin! Great job! You are a credit to “Engineering Germania” - rather, I should say Austrian Mechanic of Golf. “Mechanic” is the highest compliment I pay. I been using your wall drill. I’m 65 and drove the ball 280 at the range tonight, much to the degradation of a group of young guys who were kissed off and swinging out of their shoes to keep up with me. No face close ups necessary young lady, demonstrated body mechanics and some of your technical coaching mastery will do just fine.
The increase in centrifugal force is created by being wide at the top of the backswing to narrow during impact. Amateurs are usually narrow at the top, then going wide at impact.
Nice lesson, I need to use the towel drill more often. It would have been nice for you to slow down that final swing so we could see how close your hands / grip were to your torso. In a sense, proving that your swing has the components of what you were teaching.
Great to finally see a golf instructor explain correctly how the hand path influences hand speed, and hence club speed, in the golf swing. Would love to know how she came to this understanding, that many others have missed or even reject. But there is a missing piece, which is it is also good to have width on the backswing. Skaters start spinning with their arms out wide and then bring them in to rotate faster. Golfer's should do the same, and the best golfers do.
almost 100% of the longest hitters on tour and in long drive return the club on a higher angle than it starts and with their hands further from their body than they start. in other words, this is nonsense
@@timshumate3710 The physics says bringing the arms in closer to the rotating body will cause it to rotate faster. A fact. But this is not so easy and more difficult with a driver. Also, need to have a swing path to hit the ball.
@@Roy3973 this is simply not true. there is no physics principle that you can explain that would increase force production or eliminate leakage if the club was swung back through the elbow plane as opposed to the shoulder plane. we have to stop this nonsense. we have 100+ years of toxic golf instruction before today’s modern measurement devices as a result. we don’t have to do this anymore
@@timshumate3710right. Physics says that the farther the orbiting object is away from the center, the faster the object on that orbit is traveling, compared to one on a smaller orbit, assuming each is making one revolution synchronously. One revolution has the farther object traveling a longer distance, hence, moving faster. That's why a longer club generates faster clubhead speed. That's why drivers are longer. I used to be a figure skater. Different concept.
Great analogy using the skaters spin! I see many good players set up with their hands very close and they have to tilt a lot at impact to make that work. Could you show us the same theory using a longer club, and give some tips on how to get the hands that close at impact.
I'd like to see something about tempo. One of my pals keeps telling me you don't hit the ball in your back swing. He means I swing back too fast and that can throw me off centre. Thanks
You have a new subscriber This is the most important feel for effortless speed and distance that comes with it There are a LOT of "experts" who do not understand this or take it for granted I have depending on the club 10-30 mph more when I focus on my hands position through impact
Elements of presentation: 1) stay connected with Scilla, & arm triangle, 2) fast back swing is poor, take time & pause at top, 3) lead hands thru impact zone & mimic address position. Pedagogy is one’s style of teaching, & less chatter, more focus on elements please!
I enjoy your videos but I respectfully encourage you to have closeup shots. I believe that a central reason for the popularity of RUclips golf instructors like Rick Shiels, Danny Maude and Chris Ryan is that they mix into their videos closeups so viewers easily see their faces. In this way, those instructors establish an emotional bond with the viewers. Most of your subscribers see your videos on their cell phones and your face appears very tiny to us. I believe that your extra effort to provide closeups will pay off in increased subscriptions. Thank you for considering this.
This is a very confusing concept. So you would want your hands away from your chest which would create a wide swing correct? I don't understand how you would have a wide Arc but also keep your arms close? So if I tried doing this the way you're explaining the ice skating won't I technically get a very narrow Arc defeating the purpose?
Yes , but by holding your arms (and therefore your clibhead) further away from your body you don't have to rotate as quickly to.generate the same clubhead speed. If what you say is true then we should all play with the absolute shortest clubs we can swing with
Yes its important to have a wide backswing but once you get to impact all good players have their club as close as possible to their initial set up position. Not so great players tend to have their hands much further away at impact than they started with at set up. Bryson does the same so not a conflict with what im saying.
Total nonsense on so many levels . Almost the opposite of how clubhead speed is created and increased the further you get from the centre of the arc . Why do you think drivers are longer ? Did you go to school ?
What you’re saying has nothing to do with the subject of the vid. Club length is seperate to where the hands are at impact. What she is saying is 💯 correct and better presented than most. Bryson starts with arms extended but changes the right arm position at the top in order to create connection to the body and therefore speed and leverage. Exactly what is said in the video. You did learn about centripetal force and how its created when you were at school ??
My goodness, you’re probably a very good trainer but way too much unnecessary speaking. But respectfully thank you. What would you say to someone many that say you need to keep your swing wide in your backswing and you’re suggesting keep it so close?
Definitely keep your swing wide in the back swing as that is NOT when you are trying to create speed, thats when you are generating coil and resistance between lower and upper body. In the downswing and during impact is when you want to generate speed and get as close to your body as you possibly can. If you watch the best players in the world, their hands at impact (DTL view) are very close to their bodies and ideally in a similar proximity to their bodies as they started with at set up.
+1 for the analogy with ice skating
Nice video demonstrating how to generate speed and using the towel drill correctly. Will try it on the range.
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant explanation of a familiar lesson. I'll make this one of my go to practice drills. Thanks.

Great explanation about the figure skaters doing a fast pirouetee.
Now I understand the fysics of the required movments.
A lesson Really nice and Smart, the teacher Carolin too
Awesome - thanks
Totally understand...very good analogy and lesson
excellent video! figure skater analogy - HELPFUL ✅
Interesting concept on how to relate the closeness of arms to body. The analogy was very helpful to understand how speed is generated or lost. Thanks
Love it! Comprehensive and understandable

Excellent …. Makes complete sense!

Thanks
Nice one Caroline. Thank you. Just subscribed for a slightly different perspective that’s available on RUclips. 👍😎🇦🇺
Thanks so much! love that my tips are resonating!
Great demonstration! Thx.

The moment at 04:58…A-HA!!! ⛸️🏌️♀️⛳️
I tried playing golf in ice skates and it didn't seem to improve my game. Also the green keeper started yelling at me for some unknown reason.
I understand the figure skater reference... it's an inertia decrease.
I guess I thought that the real speed gets generated from the release of the wrist hinge. The final "crack the whip" part of the swing.

You can turn your phone and get a horizontal closer view and you can zoom in also.
@@deannanance8843 Thanks, Deanna, I didn’t realize I could zoom in while a video was playing!
Interesting, but hardly the whole story ... waiting for further instruction on speed, thanks a lot.
did she say it was the ENTIRE COURSE ON SPEED????
Love the channel. That accent. What is your native country?
That’s what I wondered
I wish more golf instructors used physics to teach golf

A skater brings there arms in to go faster but the further the club head is away from the body the faster it will travel ?
watch more how good golfer hit the ball
👍
You look like Freddy couples Smooth and effortless, 😊
Great
Yes , but by holding your arms (and therefore your clibhead) further away from your body you don't have to rotate as quickly to.generate the same clubhead speed.
If what you say is true then we should all play with the absolute shortest clubs we can swing with
What about Brian DeChambeau? Hitting the furthest but does the opposite.
Yes its important to have a wide backswing but once you get to impact all good players have their club as close as possible to their initial set up position. Not so great players tend to have their hands much further away at impact than they started with at set up. Bryson does the same so not a conflict with what im saying.
In life we thrive with solid connections..fairways of life ain't no different ✌🏻⛳
Go wide, then inside.
Doesn't everybody know that speed refers to clubhead speed at impact? Who talks about speed during backswing?
A lot of people dont know the difference between speed and timing, imo.
You will find a lot of long hitters work on getting speed in the backswing, Kyle, Bryson, Milo etc, to get speed ‘into the system’, before transition.
Total nonsense on so many levels . Almost the opposite of how clubhead speed is created and increased the further you get from the centre of the arc .
Why do you think drivers are longer ?
