Hi Steve. Shallowing the club on the downswing makes sense rather than pulling down from being too vertical. Mike Austins’ reference to using just the right hand only to hit and then the left hand only to hit. Gives a clearer perspective on how to and why allowing is so important.🏌️♂️👍
Steve you saved me .... I just love you’re tempo the you swing with no hesitation,,, love the delivery.... now I swing like you OMG distance there is and all I have to do is swing thanks again ... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Not mentioned in this video, ball position for driver I started with ball maybe on my little toe of left foot and my driving has got a tad bit better. I am a slow twitch person so getting massive change will take a lot of work. Enjoy the videos good job on clarity.
Each time I watch I get better at it , but today my drives were even better with the hips and chest opening faster towards the shot , center contact on club and great speed on the ball itself for about 240 and for an old guy 74 I.m happy with that.
Great video Steve ... I like the emphasis on letting the sequencing of the pivot shallow the club starting with the left heel (11:46) ... I think its better than totally using wrist manipulation ....
Steve. Great video. You colleague Eric Cogorno seems to agree with everything you included here but adds having a steep backswing like most of the top pros do. Yours is more on plane. What’s your view. I tend to be flat going back and it’s difficult to shallow from there
Thanks Louis! The shaft will shallow from a more flat backswing still if the handle path is good ...just your arms will look a bit lower and more inside. To get back on a neutral path you will have to rotate the chest more.
Hi Steve great vid. What is your opinion on the live view camera system. Could this help in working in the slot and keeping my club on plane. The live view as been out there for a long time know but you have never mentioned it as a good training aid. Please what are your thoughts thanks coach 😀
Side bend is so important, I had to do stretching exercise with weights to learn to side bend! Hey isn’t the pizza box move part of the throw out move? Just another component of all things accumulative?
Hey Steve ,been away from your videos to try the S&T method . Boy ,there is a lot to be said about the wrecking ball ,lateral move. Anyway I like to bring to attention the right side bend at impact. ( you touch on it a bit in video ) I would say that is really important. I have been one to not keep this bend threw impact. Just wanted to bring this up . I think doing left side bend at top of back swing to forward bend just before impact and then right side bend through impact was never talked about from M. A.and D. S. Was it ? Thanks for everything you explain so well on M.A.s method.
Thanks for your great tips for it. I observed when you played down swing, you stepped your front foot. Is it supposed to be where your power is from (ground up). I have struggled to how to apply my power from ground for a long time. Any suggestions, please?
I am a topper and hit it fat most of the time. I am 73. Wonder if it is too late to try to get better at golf? Seems like there is a lot to learn to try and get more consistent. When I do make contact with an iron at least I do not have must distance...7 iron 109 to 119.
Hey Steve I’ve been noticing that when you replant your right foot It looks like it comes in some increasing to a more open stance with left foot? Making stance more narrow than at address? Is that beneficial? Or is it just me🤔? It seems it would help with getting hip in good position, I’ve always tried to replant to the same as setup. I do agree to wide is to bad😁 you just can’t turn the hips well, wide for some may seem to feel POWERFUL !💪🏽! But is week👶🏻 Balance in all things, TTFN! THANKS!
@@Inmotion70 is your last tip (hands and arm re-act to the body shifting motion) going to contradict with the throwing from the top as Mike Austin teaching?
I like your 5 methods.... looks like your swing is built around a single plane motion. is that correct? I'm currently working and having good results from retooling my swing into a single swing. Jim-Orlando, FL
In a previous video I drew your attention to the fact that your left or front foot is moved and reset during your transition and down swing Steve. I have not seen Mike Austin make the same move and suggest that perhaps the resetting of your front foot changes your posture. No doubt with your ability and ability to dissect your swing you have learned to shallow the club head on a repetitive plane so that your swing is grooved. However, you do note that your swing is occasionally too steep...I wonder if the resetting of the left foot changes your posture so that the shallowing of the club is at times not as flat as you desire. The movement of the foot introduces the need to change the angles and hence the plane.....you seem to reset so as to be more "behind the ball" rather than over the ball...as such the move would support Austin's swing method.. No at all meant as a criticism Steve, but merely an observation. I suspect that you have made the same move for some time and such is now thoroughly integrated into your swing. For those of us who are older and have lost flexibility the resetting of the foot might be additive!
My handle drops a bit under in transition at times which makes it hard to get it exiting low left. It is unrelated to the left foot dance which started after I had a stress fracture of the left tibia trying to train for q school. Others let the foot slide open as they follow through...I simply replant it open in an unconscious attempt to lessen the torque on that joint. Nicklaus did the same thing but in reverse.
Been watching for a year, but curious why you let your left arm leave your body half way on your downswing. Seems armsy and would lose speed IMO. I thought that was the case on other videos but more pronounced in your slow mo. Thanks. Mike Austin rules!

90% of shallowing will occur as a response to the torso tilt/turn and the initial handle path....if you ALLOW it!
Great explanation Steve thank you
Cheers Terry.

Got it. Thanks
Good info! How does this work in conjunction with casting it early?
The club is being throw from shoulder high, but the handle path is already introducing forces that shallow the shaft as you step down.

Yes

Yes he talked about it but 'left side bend' is just a different way of phrasing it.
How do you throw the club when your hands/arms are relaxed? I'll try it, but not sure how...maybe just using thumbs to push the shaft?
Left arm relaxed especially. Arms and hands go from extreme burst of contraction to total relaxation in the hitting area.
@@Inmotion70 Thank you. I'll work on it tomorrow. (It's getting late here in Finland.)
Thanks for posting. Do you critique videos and provide feedback?
Yes Louis! Go to www.hititlonger.com/swing-analysis and you can send me video. It's half price for premium members.

Hi George! I think of stepping down onto my front heel and shifting my lead hip into the post.

Have never even thought about it Jeff!
@@Inmotion70 is your last tip (hands and arm re-act to the body shifting motion) going to contradict with the throwing from the top as Mike Austin teaching?
@@m3toz4 No contradiction here. The pivot controls the handle path and advances it into the ball while the hands throw it out and square it up.

Hi Jim! I've only heard of that but I don't really know much about it so I will leave it to you to judge.

There are so many instructions, which one is right? By the time 9 found out, it might be too late!
“Hands feel passive” seems to contradict “release from the top and flap past the ball.” Can you please clarify?
The reality is that the hands go from super active starting down, to acting nearly as a free hinge through impact.

Good ole Dirk Dorf, now there was a flat swing.
That's Elwin's favorite.

At the 13.27 mark
@@jasonhmclean Yep can't stand that look but it's just something that will probably never get fixed. Right now it's handle path.
