I've watched hundreds and hundreds of you tube golf videos and I have to say THIS ONE has had the BIGGEST positive effect on my golf game!!!! Great Stuff Russell/Pete.
This is the BEST SINGLE GOLF LESSON I've ever seen on RUclips. It's innovative, understandable, doable, broken down into bite-sized pieces, all of which fit into an integrated, sensible whole. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Starting tomorrow I'm going to do this hundreds of times!
I could not agree more....said the person who has definitely watched hundreds of these! very well done Russell Heritage!!
How could this be the best one? He doesn’t even tell you where to get this stick?
@@BrianBenko-BB You can buy 6 foot long fiberglass sticks at Home Depot or Lowes. They maquerade as driveway marker sticks for snow (so you don't run off the driveway).
Short and sweet , thanks man.
Not to take away from this great drill, but it was a Pete Cowan tip that absolutely transformed my swing in an instant. It was my one true golf epiphany. Once you take your grip, treat the grip like a towel. Start "wringing out the towel" via opposing action of both hands towards the centerline. I actually now start the "wringing" process as I take my grip. It allows for greater surface ”tension"/contact even as I relax my hands and forearms. Now simply maintain the "wringing of the towel" throughout the entire swing. My ball striking inconsistencies disappeared overnight.
You mean squeeze the club with both hands toward the middle as you begin the swing?
@@markmontieth8815 Never squeeze the grip. It is the kiss of death; creating too much tension in your hands and arms. That said, you can get a nice "tight" grip by starting with the grip in your fingers and "wrapping" the palms around the grip. You should feel nice firm contact between your skin (of the hand) and the grip itself. Now relax your hands and forearms....the grip will still feel solid. After getting a good "hold a bird" grip, simply "rotate" your hands inward (without actually squeezing), towards each other......."wringing out the towel". I maintain this feeling throughout the swing. Jump forward 2 videos from this one and Russ talks about it.
@@andrewtopping1937 Thanks, I didn’t word that properly. Meant to say, move them together rather than squeeze.
Works great for putting too.
Seems like this move maintains connection throughout the swing
Russel you have become my go to coach. You always deliver optimum guidance in minimal time. Perfect.
These 3 min lessons are absolute gems. Thanks Russell!
Countless lost balls and lessons....and all I needed was this! Great Drill...I can now wipe away all tears!
I've watch thousands of YT videos this is one of the best thanks Russell god bless Pete cowen
Very well explained. Short, clear and to the point.
That long alignment stick deal is same as “golf sensei” channels flashlight drill …he uses 2 maglites on either end of a 30”lomg 3/4”dia pvc pipe keeping which ever light is closest to the target line through a swing motion pointing at the target line ….except no whipping with flashlights unless you wanna chance flinging one down the range lol
Amazing drill really helped me understand and feel how the arms should move correctly! Thanks Russel!
Russell you are a great teacher of the game! Thanks for all of your excellent instruction!
Really appreciate your words 🙏🏻
This is by far your best & most concise video to date. Would love you to continue with this short concise to the point instruction.
In most of PC's videos with his star pupils i personally find it difficult to fully comprehend accurately with what he is trying to convey. One concept that he continually refers to is "loading the shoulders correctly for the type of shot you intend to play"?. He never elaborates nor explains in any of his videos exactly what he means nor how to do this.
I am guessing that he means shoulder alignment & their plane depth..open & flat to fade/square to hit straight/closed & deep to draw the ball.
Could you or any of your readers enlighten me on his shoulder loading concepts?.
Thanks again for this video as is such a great concise explanation of his concepts.
This is the best swing video of all time. I struggled big time with flipping the club and coming over the top. This drill instantly allowed me to keep the correct angles through my golf swing.
LOL
Super Job Russel. You just helped millions of golfer’s be better. Wow this is literally the best I have seen on Utube.
Appreciate that Bob 🙏🏻
Love theses quick and concise vids Russell 👍
great drill it helped me a lot. But I am kind of confused because when I watch some other videos from coaches on youtube they are saying there should be a twist in the forearms etc. I would appreciate if you could make a video where you use this drill in a context of a full swing. Thanks a lot for the content you make ❤
Ok will work on it
This is the single best golf video I have ever seen in my life!! It instantly changed my game back on track! THANK YOU RUSSELL!!
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Thank you. The clarity of your explanation is excellent here and on your other videos. Much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely brilliant video!!! Thank you so much for that, Russell.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great simple and Well explain tips
Very good video. Simple and easy to follow. Can't wait to give it a try.
Russell can you do something on the squat sequence to initiate the downswing? There’s a distinctive squat that occurs in good players that is not often discussed.
Must try!
Love this thanks!! If you have not done so, hope you do a related video for hitting fairway wood shots.
Ok I’ll get on it
This would be GREAT THANK YOU!!! 😊😊😊
Thanks
Thank you!! Amazing!!
It seems an important aspect of this drill is getting the right side of the body (thus weight) to move properly to the left on the downswing. This allows a golfer to reach proper low point at or slightly ahead of the ball. If the right side (weight) does not move properly low point will usually be behind the ball resulting in a fat or topped shot. Good drill.
How would this work with the driver, fairway woods, hybrids? What about ball position? Should I use a strong, weak, or natural grip? How would hit a draw or fade?
Whoa I’ll get on it
@@russellheritagegolf I just reviewed Clay Ballard's three-year old, "Compress Your Irons..." RUclips video. He has a similar instruction to Pete Cowens but differs in how the club is released. Clay demonstrated hitting a pitching wedge 160 yards. Have you measured your swing speed accurcy and distance improvements? It would good to see some Trackman data.
Great video Russell, appreciate you!
Effective drill. Thanks
Will this drill work for irons, fairway woods, hybrids, & driver?
I guess the only way is to try the drill with your iron, and see if you can replicate the same feel with your other clubs
russell, that looks like a great drill and i can't wait to try it out tomorrow, it's 2am in the morning and i'm watching golf videos before bed. retirement is nice and thnx.
Good for you. Few years left for myself
Russell thank you , is the movement the same for the driver , or would it encourage hands ahead of ball which would not suit the driver ? Thanks
all in one simple lesson , I love the hand path drill
Im finally at a point where the missing piece of this swing drives my balls to the right and drags the handle. This whipping action feels like the next step. Thank you for doing the research and making this concise video!
Russel are you squaring the face of the club with your trail hand or lead hand? Great video.
Simple. Brilliant.
How to you obtain an extra long alignment stick?
I've looked and can't find one either.
Good video. Thanks.
Yooo Rus, you can’t be givin cheat codes for free. Your style & delivery r always on point, but hole up. Make these duffers work a little bit. That’s golden. And yes I said the same thing to Mr. C
wonderful instruction
🙏🏻
hey Russell, suggestion where to get a long alignment stick? hardware store? thks
This is good. For those that dont have long alignment sticks, just tape a couple of bamboo growing sticks together. Works a treat.
Look at Dan Alton folding point in the golf swing open your eyes
Good video
It's all pretty obvious stuff. I mean every bloke can take a flat stone and skim it along a pond with power and accuracy. Just just have to get right arm in those same positions and same movement in the downswing. The biggest reason people can't do that, is because they don't collapse the right arm early enough in the backswing. This myth of width in the takeaway means the right arm stays straight for too long and then gets lost halfway back. I.e flying elbow. Also too much width in the takeaway can lead to a collapse in width at the top because of the pressure your body is under. Watch Brian Harmons swing. Sure he's not the longest, but pound for pound on the PGA tour, he hits it a long way. He basically picks the club at takeway with a straight right arm (left arm for righty's) and allows his trail elbow to collapse and tuck immediately.
I agree with Griff
I was taught by Pete for around 7 years and what I can concretely tell you, is that on RUclips, he only gives you a snippet of information. Much of what he teaches, he does not share and understandably so.
I have no idea how could your right shoulder moving continuosly from top of backswing to followthough.
When I record my swing, I realize that my right shoulder does not move from the club shaft parallel to the ground to impact. I have no idea how to move it continuosly like you
Rory does the same drill with a driver.
can anyone tell me if this drill works on driver or is it just irons
thanks in advance
This seems to be the month for all UK instructors to reference Pete Cowan. Danny Maud, Andy Carter, James Robinson and Alex Elliott. There is certainly nothing wrong with that as Pete does require an interpreter. In this video you direct students to early straighten the right arm whereas all others seem to keep it partially bent???? Which one is it?
Why do pros like tiger, Vijay, couples have the toe completely released pointing at 11 o’clock at waist high in the thru swing, not at all like yours is. The correct release is very confusing to me
The Pros are playing a completely different game than us.
Trying to mimic a Pro's swing is what stonewalls a shit ton of amatuers.
IF you want to mimic a 'Pro' swing, 90% of amatuers would be better off watching and mimicking Women's pro golf swings.
And to be honest should probably be playing from more forward tees.
But egos......
"It took me 4-1/2 hours and I shot a 117,.... but it was from the MEN'S tees!"

I love your lessons, but why would you present a lesson using a golf aid without telling the golfer where to purchase the extra long alignment stick?
This is just a large alignment stick. You can copy the same thing going to a hardware store and getting some dowel
Ever heard of Google?
hmmmm ok. i have a big problem with this. when Russell creates the plane with the double alignment stick that is the plane i imagine we all believe the angle of attack to be. However when we see a pro or top player through impact the shaft plane changes angle through impact. This is evident on EVERY top player and i have no idea how they are achieving this. So lets say you come down from for example a 45 degree angle. The shaft during release will not release at 45 degrees like Russells stick. It will shallow to say 35 degrees. I believe this is achieved by a wrist release that we aint doing or a swing intent we dont know about. I would imagine that 99% of people would picture a golf swing as the yellow stick plane Russell is showing here. However I can see that this is NOT what is going on. Ive yet to hear a golf pro explain the true nature of the late release and how those angles are achieved. If Russell can understand my ramble id love him to comment or point us to a video he has done that explains this.
Harvey pennick taught this 70 years
i agree with MUTiger
Where do you find that extra long alignment stick?
Superglue and gaffa tape 😂😂
Russell, I need help! 😕
right palm applying pressure to the what? too garbled to understand.
Thumb
I too have a very long alignment stick… ladies 😊
Danny Maude much
"Thankfully I have a very large..... alignment stick..."
