That take away he talks about at the end is so important. Both Nicklaus and Palmer insisted all of their careers that the first 2 to 4 inches going back is SO IMPORTANT. Nickaus even said it was everything.They never explained why however. But that is where the "connection" (arms, shoulders, & body) is established just as Rory points out. And if you do not establish it there it is almost impossible to get back. That's how you take your range game to the golf course. When you stay "connected" much less timing is needed in the swing. Get those big body trunk muscles to start it back, not your arms and shoulders. Drag them along for the ride. I like to think of it as from the bottom -up (just over my belt line), not the top-down (arms and shouilders). And you will develop a touring pro swing. It may seem "tighter" but you won't be shorter. You'll be both long and straight.
A lot of places have somewhat cheap (for golf, think 100-300+ per hour as a standard) where you can go take a bunch of shots and have them break down the exact moments those errors are occurring in relation to geometrical angles/lines for your body. Lots of ways to really get those last details down.
I've warmed up to this young man over the years. He is always decent, humble and always learning... His friendship with Tiger is also a revealing aspect of his enormous gift to relate. A true golf hero and is right on time to keep the game rolling forward.
Alignment and aim are everything. I learned from a friend who is a teaching pro. Why? Easy. My buddy told me to pick the shot first. Then commit to the shot. Set up set up set up. Pick s target close to the ball for aim. Then align to the aim point. Then " get out of the way of the swing. Let it happen"
Rory has a video on how he hits bunker shots. I now could care less if I end up in the sand, although GIR was the plan. Lost all fear. He just says it as if this is what’s my best preferred method and explains why even though he can do them all. In this Video Rory shows why he has it all and willing to share. Thanks to Coach as well.
I tried forever to fix mt driver and had numerous lessons and honestly I improved just watching how rory does his super wide takeaway and maintains that structure the whole.swing...it seriously helps so much...what a boss
Excellent Video clip! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for revealing an effortless golf swing technique without the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my cooworker after a lifetime of fighting got great results with it.
He has taught him since Rory was..5 or 7 or something..so I'd imagine he has to keep things simple to teach a kid to play..then when that kid grows up he has simple thoughts in his swing.
“Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words.”
Rory is.....fantastic, his incredible swing is a film to louvre museum, is perfect. Thanks for the lesson martin, and big hug to you rory, a great guy and incredible player. From argentina.
The connectedness between the arms and the torso is so important (well it is for me). As long as I make sure I feel that during my practice swings hit it straight and generate a lot of power.
Brilliant interview technique. The absolute awe for this Beethoven is obvious and deserved. Junior coaches can learn from the intelligence of this interaction
This is a great video, learning how the best in the world strike the ball is important, almost as important as learning the Rules of Golf. Both can save you many strokes.
What I lacked is width in my swing because at the beginning of the backswing, I was keeping my hands too close to my hip instead of extending the butt of the club away & allowing space between them that makes my swing longer with a bigger arc. I was keeping them close in an effort to keep my arms connected for my body sequence while it's obvious that I should have been doing the exact opposite.
Thanks for the Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (google it)? It is a great one of a kind product for revealing an effortless golf swing technique without the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my cooworker at very last got cool results with it.
Very good video. All of the great players mainly played one shape of shot. Fade - Hogan, Nicklaus, Trevino, Rahm, Koepka, and others; Draw - Jones, Player, Watson, Woods, McIlroy and others. Choose either a fade or a draw as your main shape. Never try to hit the ball dead straight. I mainly hit a draw with my driver for distance, and a fade with my irons and 3-wood for control, height, and stopping power. I shot a 60 on a very tough course that way. It works. Of course, putting is the most important part of the game. Learn how to read greens and how to putt, and practice your putting the most.
I cant tell you how many times I hit a good drive just to find out I lined up off the fairway and the ball goes right where I lined up... this 2 feet in front trick is def going to help my game.
Well, we're flabbergasted at Rory's low, piercing driver swing in that he seems to leave the tee height and ball position the same as a normal driver but focuses on 'keeping his height through the swing' to afford a more shallow attack angle so the ball flight becomes a more bullet-like , boring shot. Pretty impressive! Not at all the conventional: ie tee it low, play it back in your stance, etc. etc.
Ahhh, width comment gets me. I do what they say not to do sometimes, makes sense now why I don't always drive properly. Interesting, i will certainly keep that in mind on my next round.
Wow! Thanks a lot. Like the idea of making up a virtual target a much closer to the tee. Like as if you're gonna putt the ball with a Driver to the target, but actually drive it!
I’ve been trying to increase width, and my backswing and shoulder movement was not at the same time, I would backswing then shoulder rotation would come. Now I know!🤯.
Every time I hit my driver I always imagine I was Rory and tried to move like him, sometimes I get it almost like his moves but most of the time don't, but I'm always happy though as I always hit the ball whether it goes to the left, right, or center. Thanks for this video!
Thank You for posting! Rory is just a nice young man; it's been a pleasure watching him all these years; I hope he wins a Major this year, it's been a while and he's certainly good enough to tally a few more.
I'm an amateur golfer in Japan. I'm 47 years old. The best score is 75 and the driver's maximum carry is 340 yards. How is my swing? Please give me some advice. Thank you!⛳️🏌️♂️
1. align body to clubface 2. feet, knees, hips, shoulders aligned, parallel to railway track that ball is on 3. arm and body turn back together as one unit
Such a missed opportunity to talk at a deeper level for golfers who can play but are looking for tips and secrets from the best. Train tracks? Alignment? Intermediate target are really such basic fundamentals. Few takeaways from this unfortunately - the 'Bullet' being one (maintaining height and shallower angle of attack - I'll try that for sure!)
I set the aiming point 2 ft behind (opposite direction to the target)and that helps me to align my stand parallel to the target line. My club face is perpendicular to the target line anyway whether the aiming point is in front or behind. Not that I am a pro, but just a tip that may work for someone.
Can someone explain to me the 3 knuckle rule and how it helps control the club? Im struggling with my grip and I feel like it is causing me to lose control of my club path when swinging, TIA
lookin down you can should see like 2 or 3 most knuckles of yur left top hand ( righty golfer like rory)... if u see like 4 knuckles u got a " strong" grip and mostly can will hook it go left alot... when rory young kid talkn bout it.. he's smaller weaker muscles not as strong arm upper body soo.. a strong grip w 3-4 knuckles showing makes it lil easier to hit hard stronger shots farther too... Really want to have more " neutral " grip... both hands work together not left dominate over yur right hand. look up " weak" grip see the opposite.. some players have that a weak grip.. can slice way easier w a weak grip. Goodluck
Great presentation great interview. You handled the pro like he should be handled, nicely done. I learned a lot from this video from an absolute master.
Jack does/did same thing. Picking something out a couple feet from the ball as an intermediate target to aim/hit at. Iv'e tried it but can't seem to work for me. great video
You mention Henry Longhurst who of course knew Henry Cotton, who in turn wrote in the 50s that at the moment of impact the left hand resists the hit of the right. Could you please explain e.g. in a next video, what that means - at impact - in these times with the driver? Thanks
Wondering when that was shot as Rory is using an M3 Driver head(5:24 of video). My guess either it was filmed while ago, OR Rory just likes that head so much that he has not changed to an M5 or even the new SIM, which he surely has access to right now.
Kirk Clements DJ says the same thing. Golf is all about how bad your bad shots are. Swinging in a way that your bad drives are still findable and a few even catch the edge of the fairway will lower your scores. Learn to hit that "bullet" shot with a slight cut. You'll lose 15 yards or so but you'll shoot lower scores. I use it most of the time.
Seriously... how can you not like Rory... easy spoken, awesome golfer, who exemplifies class and the honour of the game...
Absolutely amazing that we get a free DRIVER lesson from Rory and his life long coach! Big thanks to Rory and Michael Bannon!
Hats off to the interviewer. Perfect engagement with Rory / Coach, and steered the question path well and did not interrupt or over talk.
Didn't interrupt? We're you paying attention at 9:56? He cuts off Michael Bannon as he is about to demo what he is talking about.
Agreed
Rory is a class act. Always willing to share some of his skills to help others play better golf.
the tip about the take away has helped my driver swing like no other tip before. wow
That take away he talks about at the end is so important. Both Nicklaus and Palmer insisted all of their careers that the first 2 to 4 inches going back is SO IMPORTANT.

That teacher is amazing. Didn’t feel the need to be heard or shine. Kept everything simple and concise.
hi, how are you ?
Nail hit on head, the most underrated character trait
Seemed like a military man
Pure physics that's near perfection = Rory McIlroy.
So impressed with this man's ability to hit the ball so far.
Same coach all his life. Class.
Rory's swing is one of my favorites these days.
Alignment and aim are everything.
I learned from a friend who is a teaching pro.
Why? Easy. My buddy told me to pick the shot first. Then commit to the shot.
Set up set up set up.
Pick s target close to the ball for aim.
Then align to the aim point.
Then " get out of the way of the swing. Let it happen"
What a great guy. Honest and open sharing great golf info to help others. Thanks Rory.
Yes 👍🏻 I love the way he shot, are you a huge fan of Rory.!?
Hands down my favourite golfer since growing up watching Tiger. Rory is a beast and constantly works on his game to improve.
One of the best drivers of all time. This was great. Thank you.
Rory has a video on how he hits bunker shots. I now could care less if I end up in the sand, although GIR was the plan. Lost all fear.

Couldn't care less*
Didn't take anything away from this lesson. So minute and advanced I'm completely lost !!
IMO Best driver and form in the tour. Pretty insane we just got a free 10 minute lesson from him
Why would 197 people give this video a thumbs down 🤷♂️. Best driver of all time.
I tried forever to fix mt driver and had numerous lessons and honestly I improved just watching how rory does his super wide takeaway and maintains that structure the whole.swing...it seriously helps so much...what a boss
Did you ever have a good teacher or just not work enough on what you learned?
The absolute respect that Rory has for Michael Bannon is evident just in the way they talk about their journey through developing Rory's game.
I was expecting Rorys coach to be slick and talking very technical ehh nah. Aim, width boom simple as that! Love it

Watch video : Feeling confident
1st Tee shot : Foooooour!!!!
First shot shank onto the other hole
😂 classic
When Rory speaks on driving there is a yearning desire to listen! 👂
“Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words.”
@@Levin-ey1bu "A man who sleeps with another man's wife on the side of a hill is not on the level.".
Watching twenty minutes of Rory is better than all those other b.s. "long drive" videos combined! So gracious of him to share his method.
Really like Rory's humbleness in the process of improvement.
@@winstonsmith11 this is golf, isn't it?
Humility?
I feel like I just got a personal lesson from the master himself...thanks so much guys.
Rory is.....fantastic, his incredible swing is a film to louvre museum, is perfect. Thanks for the lesson martin, and big hug to you rory, a great guy and incredible player. From argentina.
Rory's approach to the low drive through the wind is beautiful.
I appreciate roy talking about width and giving us a shoot
The first two minutes of this changed my golf set up and ultimately my shot
The connectedness between the arms and the torso is so important (well it is for me). As long as I make sure I feel that during my practice swings hit it straight and generate a lot of power.
I love it. Not overly complicated, just stick to the basic fundamentals and creating a feel for each shot. Great lesson!
fundamentals fundamental and more fundamentals ... never ever beyond the need to hold these in awareness when swinging. Love it!
I was hoping they would talk about Rory's ignition, the dip, the sit down, what ever you want to call it, cos Rory's is magical.
Hall is so excited to be with Rory he doesn’t stop takking
Congratulations Rory World #1 👍
This is pure gold. Thank you so much @GolfChannel for gifting us this video. I hope more like that soon!
He has a great shot isn’t 🤔
Love the video ... it’s not technical or confusing ... just simply key factors from a master that we all wish to be 😂
Brilliant interview technique. The absolute awe for this Beethoven is obvious and deserved. Junior coaches can learn from the intelligence of this interaction
Railroad tracks analogy, I'm trying that today! Only because i am a railroad worker. Thanks!
Wow. Golf channel just proved it’s worth with this video! Now putting lessons from the pros!
This is a great video, learning how the best in the world strike the ball is important, almost as important as learning the Rules of Golf. Both can save you many strokes.
One of the best instructional videos I have seen on golf; thanks guys.
World number 1 baby!!!! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
There are a lot of great golfers on tour today, but for me, Rory is the best right now. His skill set is amazing.
Are you a huge fan of Rory.!?
He has a great 😊 swing isn’t
Wow, that alignment tip at the beginning is game changing for me!
Rory is awesome. He's already one of the GOATs. I hope to play with/against him someday
Don't play for money😂

He makes it look so easy!!
You could not artificially create a more perfect golf swing than that. Poetry in motion.
Rory is the man 👍🏻💪🏻💯
2 majors this year I reckon, *at least*
RIP
If you have good width going back, you'll have good extension going through. This is important. Rory sure does.

I think I saw this guy on tv .he's a good golfer 😂 great tip 👍
Great to see Rory back at No 1
This was excellent, thank you.
The best player of this past decade and, perhaps, the best of the new generation post-Tiger. Go Rory.
His Yoda impression is spot on. 6:05
Thanks for the great video but why such low quality?
Every time I hit my driver I always imagine I was Rory and tried to move like him, sometimes I get it almost like his moves but most of the time don't, but I'm always happy though as I always hit the ball whether it goes to the left, right, or center. Thanks for this video!

Wow, a free lesson from Rory, bless
Rory Mcilroy just has such a good swing that I wish I could swing and hit like him.
Great video 🌷 Thanks for sharing 🌷
Thanks for this video. Align for the 2nd target, i will try that method. Greets from Indonesia
Love Martin, now have a new respect for Rory. Love the info I get from martin....

Great tips
Best swing in the game today. If he can get his putting back to where it was when he was with Titleist he would be unstoppable
just wish they would of talked more about his swing technique. The start of downswing, how to weight shift, what about release act.
Great lesson. Thanks for sharing.

ha ha give him a chance, any pro-host has the ability to fit one word into 6 sentences
He is asking questions for the listeners benefit !
yeah wtf that knob ruined it
1. align body to clubface
2. feet, knees, hips, shoulders aligned, parallel to railway track that ball is on
3. arm and body turn back together as one unit
Absolute beautiful swing
Such a missed opportunity to talk at a deeper level for golfers who can play but are looking for tips and secrets from the best. Train tracks? Alignment? Intermediate target are really such basic fundamentals. Few takeaways from this unfortunately - the 'Bullet' being one (maintaining height and shallower angle of attack - I'll try that for sure!)
Yeah... Rory knows how to drive a ball. Pretty spectacular. Tiger back in the 2000-2003 was pretty damn crazy too!
I set the aiming point 2 ft behind (opposite direction to the target)and that helps me to align my stand parallel to the target line. My club face is perpendicular to the target line anyway whether the aiming point is in front or behind. Not that I am a pro, but just a tip that may work for someone.
Can someone explain to me the 3 knuckle rule and how it helps control the club? Im struggling with my grip and I feel like it is causing me to lose control of my club path when swinging, TIA
lookin down you can should see like 2 or 3 most knuckles of yur left top hand ( righty golfer like rory)... if u see like 4 knuckles u got a " strong" grip and mostly can will hook it go left alot... when rory young kid talkn bout it.. he's smaller weaker muscles not as strong arm upper body soo.. a strong grip w 3-4 knuckles showing makes it lil easier to hit hard stronger shots farther too...
Really want to have more " neutral " grip... both hands work together not left dominate over yur right hand.
look up " weak" grip see the opposite.. some players have that a weak grip.. can slice way easier w a weak grip.
Goodluck
Great presentation great interview. You handled the pro like he should be handled, nicely done. I learned a lot from this video from an absolute master.
Jack does/did same thing. Picking something out a couple feet from the ball as an intermediate target to aim/hit at. Iv'e tried it but can't seem to work for me. great video
You mention Henry Longhurst who of course knew Henry Cotton, who in turn wrote in the 50s that at the moment of impact the left hand resists the hit of the right. Could you please explain e.g. in a next video, what that means - at impact - in these times with the driver? Thanks
Wondering when that was shot as Rory is using an M3 Driver head(5:24 of video). My guess either it was filmed while ago, OR Rory just likes that head so much that he has not changed to an M5 or even the new SIM, which he surely has access to right now.
He had the SIM last time he played, so did Rahm and Tiger.
you to can learn to hit 2 good drives per round - which is rory's assessment of hi own game
Kirk Clements DJ says the same thing. Golf is all about how bad your bad shots are. Swinging in a way that your bad drives are still findable and a few even catch the edge of the fairway will lower your scores.
