Mastering SWING SEQUENCE (2 SIMPLE Drills!)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- To excel in golf, mastering a seamless swing sequence is paramount. However, with numerous moving components, this task is easier said than done. In this instructional video, I introduce two straightforward drills that harmonize WRIST articulation with ARM motion and BODY dynamics.
In my view, many golfers tend to prematurely engage their bodies during the transition. Elite golfers typically SLIDE their legs out from underneath them which traps their arms behind them as they approach impact causing PUSHES and HOOKS! On the other hand, weekend warriors often resort to a transition SPIN, initiating upper body rotation too early which throws the arms out and over the plane causing PULLS and SLICES!
While these issues manifest differently, they share a common requirement: the body must momentarily stall for the arms to catch up in the downswing. This, in turn, leads to an EARLY RELEASE, negatively impacting contact and control.
For effective sequencing, I recommend two drills:
1. *FEET TOGETHER* This drill is exceptional for helping golfers stabilize their bodies, allowing their hands and arms to swing freely.
2. *RIGHT FOOT BACK* This drill not only addresses swing path but also encourages proper weight transfer to the lead leg. Many golfers tend to hang back through impact, but this drill promotes a balanced shift to the lead side.
Practice each drill with a few swings, then integrate the same sensations into your regular swing. Focus on SHIFTING your weight into the lead side as your ARMS DESCEND during the transition, and smoothly connect your TRAIL ARM with your TRAIL HIP during the follow-through.
Remember to BRACE your lead leg and allow your trail side to turn into it, as opposed to trying to move your left hip out of the way. These adjustments will improve you SWING SEQUENCE and enhance your performance.
Thanks for watching!

My game totally change after this concept and practice
Reading comments like yours is my “Why!” Being Impactful is everything……….Thank you!
Coach A. 🙌🏻🏌️♂️⛳️
Thanks! Really enjoy the simplicity of your instructions. Trying to play golf with half a million swing thoughts is so frustrating. Look forward to each new video! 👊
Thanks for watching! Welcome aboard!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
This greatly helps me understand the sequencing -- finally! To the Range!!! Thank You!
That’s great! Get after it Steve!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻

Hello Coach A,
Due to life events, I've been playing golf off and on for decades. Early on, I wasted my money on golf instructions from a bad instructor; and I've been self taught ever since. (There are not many instructors in my area.) When I needed help with my swing, I turned to RUclips. Let's just say that, some are better than others.
Now that I am retired, I am playing more and trying to improve my game. Thankfully, I recently stumbled upon your channel. I've searched for years and this is the best video that I have found on the principles, goals and timing of a simple, yet very effective golf swing. Very well done Sir! Please keep up your great work of sharing your wisdom of the golf swing with us. Thank you once again...
You’re welcome sir! Welcome aboard!

Excellent explanation of moving the back hip into the front side….into a braced front side for a stabilized brace to sling the club at the target. I have been trying, as you described, to rotate the front hip back but have been pulling a lot of my shots left and a bunch of toe strikes. I tried your explanation and immediately got 10+ years of carry with a push draw ball flight with much better contact.
Glad it was helpful! Best,
Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Great instruction. After a short run through of the 3 drills I got a significant increase in club speed, with little effort.
That’s great to hear John! Thanks for watching!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Very thorough explanation, increased my understanding of what I want to do. I do have a difficulty with sequence. Thanks!
Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Excellent presentation, thanks.
Thanks Jack! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Ive watched tons of videos, but this is by far the most most valuable one Ive seen for "my swing". I have begun the downswing by spinning the shoulders for a long time. The drills shown here are helping me to unlearn that. I'm making better contact and have improved my distance and control doing these drills.
You’re not alone, so many golfers transition spin because they’ve been told to use their body to square the club face! It’s essential to understand how to sequence your arms with your body and I’m glad this video helped you understand this concept!
Best Of luck!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Brilliant Instruction Andrew. When I took up golf many years ago, the leadbetter idea of a body orientated swing with passive arms was the thinking at that time. You are spot on in that this has lead to most of us lunging at the ball with our shoulders to get power. ' let the dog wag the tail' sounded like it made sense. Unfortunately it just doesn't for most of us. Carry on the good work.
Thanks Colin! I’ve never been a method coach! I just don’t believe that one size fits all!! So many unconventional ways to get it done. Bottom line - Find what works for you! I’m glad that my channel is having a positive impact!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
This is great. Such a good video. Instead of singular changes you have provided a staged approach. Looking forward to building this into my practise session. ⛳️
I’m glad you enjoyed the video and hope it helps you improve your training sessions! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Really good explanation- simple terms - easy to understand- thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
I have a tendency to open too soon. Thanks for these drills, they have really helped me.
It’s a very common problem! Glad the video helped! Thanks for watching.
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
This is absolutely awesome. All of it but especially that last tip about having the trail hip turn into the braced lead hip did it for me! It seems to be the key for striking ball then turf. I’ve been trying to eliminate fat shots for 20 years 😢. Great stuff!
Thanks Yathi - I just wish I started my channel 20 years ago. I could have saved you a lot of trouble!! Welcome aboard!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
l had been watching your videos and you certainly explain the swing l am trying to ingrain the best. l have a bad back and l have an upright swing. l had felt these feelings you are explaining the good and the bad. l know what l did on the bad l simply screw up but on the good l couldn't figure out the sequence and the why/how/what l was supposed to do but now l know. Thank you.
You’re not alone! I’ve been struggling for years with back pain. You don’t have to torque your back if your body “supports” your hands and arms!! Thanks for watching!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Wow , great lesson. Thanks
Thanks Aidan! 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
yes, good stuff. Peter Croker espoused this.
I met Mr Kroker many years ago when I lived and coached in Windermere, FL. Super nice guy and extremely talented.
Thanks for watching!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
I'll give it some practice. Drills seem easy enough to do. Thanks.
They’re very simple! I hope it helps!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Really helpful, thanks.
Glad it was helpful! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Great video Andrew!!!
Thanks Carlos! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Good video. I'd add that optimal angular momentum of the clubhead comes from effective implementation of the double-pendulum. Getting this right negates squaring the clubface with the hands at impact.
A salient point. Thanks for watching!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf Thanks for your reply. If you get the pendulum mechanism right you will feel that freedom you speak of in your forearms. The clubhead swings or orbits around the hands as if without effort. The key reference for this is CB Daish 1971 The Physics of Ball Games.
How close to your body should your hands be during the downswing and as you hit the ball? How low should they be, also, for example at waist level or above or below? Thanks....good video.
Hand Path is critical but is influenced greatly by the movement of the body and arms. Certainly in the transition your hands should remain close to you. At impact your hand position will vary depending on your grip strength and club face orientation! Stronger grip - hands further forward and higher at impact. Neutral grip hand less forward and lower at impact. One size doesn’t fit all!!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf Thanks....
Excellent! Thank You for sharing. Then next step,outside,: What, 30 sec ,preshot neuromuscular rutin would benefit execution of selected shot.
Fade, draw, high, low. Driver vs swinging lower flighted wedge/ sandwedge..😊.
About four more great videos from you.Take Care!!😊
Thanks for watching! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Thanks for the videos, I’m a 68 year old retired truck driver, that means I’m very stiff and not very flexible, trying to learn to relax…. Hopefully I’ll be able to hit my 7 past 120 yard mark….thanks keep up the good work…
Fred, thanks for reaching out! It means a great deal to me that my videos are having an impact. Enjoy your golf, swing easy and be patient!
Keep me posted!
Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf thanks again today I was hitting 138 to 150 yards… learning to relax my arms ! Thanks for the drills…👍
Is there any time in this swing where you feel pulling the handle or is it pure swing through Andrew.
For sure in the transition! Linear Momentum comes from the hands and arms applying force against the grip as the club changes direction. From there that energy is traded for angular momentum as the wrists unhinge and re-hinge. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
👏👏👏👍
Love the videos, exactly what i need. Ny biggest issue right now is when trying to do this swing, im ending up with massive pull hooks, Any advice?
It’s likely you’re transition spinning and then over rotating the club at impact. Keep your back to the target longer. Start with the club face aimed a few degrees “open” at address. And, keep your hands to the side of the club as you exit. You don’t want your trail hand on top of the club at the point of collision! 💥
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
off to the driving range this AM...I'll report back, thanks!
Sounds good! Get after it!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Inspirational instruction. Can you use these drills with a driver?
Yes sir!! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
@andrewemery another brilliant video ! I’m hitting a slight pull draw with a lot of height. Does this sound like I’m staying on trail foot at impact ?
Probably “Transition Spinning” Scott! Keep your back to the target as long as possible when you change direction. Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolfmany thanks I must get someone to video my swing when I’m next at the range !
Great video👍🏻. Would these drills apply to 1 plane as well as 2 plane swings?
Thank you
Yes sir!! The sequence is the same.
Thanks for watching!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
You’re a really good tracher
Rick, thank you! Welcome aboard!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Did I get it: Sequencing FIRST the linear (arms down) force SECOND the angular (wrists unhinge) force, during the FIRST lower body semi-stable while during the SECOND pressure shift from trail to front foot concluding delivery of the message....? I will have the first day of 2024 on the range doing the drills you directed me to do. I like your idea that you demand a responsive student to meet up with a committed trainer. best wishes Coach Andrew.
Happy New Year in Bahrain!! You’re up late!! Great first lesson, although no demands from me, only accountability! You’re going to do great. 🇧🇭⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
I wish you the same pal.
Irregular sleep has been a steady habit which I do not fight but it is beginning to adversely affect my food digestion and regulating my energy next day. I stayed home for the new year. I am convinced must organize my sleep for improving golf now that I do not have someone to answer to. It is accountability that is much better word.
When do you release your trail hip on the downswing?
When your TRAIL arm is in front of it!! Keep your trail hip back as your arms work down in the transition!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Andrew, great as always. Curious, are you an advocate of the concept of "pushing" the left hand of the grip down during the takeaway? Thanks
You can push down with the lead hand or pull your trail thumb towards you? Or combine both feels! I always tell my students to find the feel that works best for them!
Coach A.⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Very confused! So are you teaching to pull down to hip height using just the arms and then using a rapid rollover release to gain speed instead of using the hips to drop the arms then releasing the hands?
Love your teaching style by the way. I’m 59 yrs old with a bad back and have been trying to find a way to get the speed using my hands instead of firing the body but the challenge for me is doing it without throwing the hands from the top or pulling the arms down without feeling the body involved. Both have led to awful results (very inconsistent contact)..
Like everything in golf. It’s not all hands, arms or body. It’s a harmonious marriage between all three. I think possibly what’s missing is an attention to tension in your arms as you swing. The arms want to drop, the toe of the club is lighter in mass than the heel and ‘wants’ to rotate!
Most golfers unfortunately don’t allow their arms to drop and the club to rotate - instead they ‘transition spin’ which leads to a myriad of problems!
There is no ‘rapid rollover!’ It’s not an open to closed release pattern, rather the club ideally remains square or slightly closed to its intended path! Work on your cadence and I think you’ll start to improve your swing sequence!
Less effort (body)= more speed (hands & arms!)
