Been following this channel more recently w/ the influx of Dr Kwon content, super interesting stuff. Followed along as best I could doing step drills & trying to incorporate the timing into my swing. Best 18 holes off the tee in my life yesterday!! 14 drives found 10 fairways, 3 others just in rough & only 1 bad drive (got cocky on a par5) Thanks, and I'll be telling none of the guys I golf with about this channel, LOL !!!!!
These Dr Kwon videos are great. The "Horizontal Swing" really brought the whole concept home. When practicing this earlier today, my club speed increased, but the most important thing I noticed is with the smooth acceleration (continuous motion throughout the swing) my balance is much better. One of the key phrases I heard Brandon say was "forceful backswing". I liked that. No more "placing the club", super slow takeaways, or an overly technical backswing. Force precedes motion in the golf swing. Looking forward to using this tomorrow morning when I play Coronado. Lastly, is it just me, or does anyone else want to see Dr Kwon crank it up on the launch monitor, and hit some bombs?
@@3spressoShot it went well, thanks. It feels like I'm getting more consistent with all clubs, and the additional club head speed with the driver is great. Up from 103-104 to 110-112. I found myself using the drill during my round every few holes. Very helpful.
Something that has helped me A TON with getting the lower body to work better -- When you SHIFT (before you TURN) the pressure in your feet should be on the BALL of your foot. As you introduce the turn THEN pressure goes to the heel. If you've watched as many RUclips golf video lessons as I have then you've probably heard that the pressure shifts from heel to heel, but watch Dr. Kwons lead foot very closely at 5:06 of this video. You'll see that his pressure is on the BALL of the foot when he SHIFTS and then it transfers to his HEEL as he TURNS. Food for thought. It helped me so much today when I played and I shot a +2, 74 :D
Since I was a tourament tennis player when young and my swings felt instinctive and natural, the amount of tinkering and tech analysis I'm doing as a medicore golfer trying to improve often makes my swing feel mechanical. My favorite teachers, like Brendan, try to bring the instinctive, reactive, athletic feels into our swings and movements. These drills from Dr. Kwon not only do that, but add one other great virtue: since unlearning wrong movement patterns takes large numbers of reps with the right movements, I love that these drills can be done using a continuous motion, thus quickly matching the thousands of reps we get playing faster paced sports like tennis or basketball.
I play with one arm only and people are totally blown away by the fact that I have one of the longest drives of the whole golf club. I try to tell them that I basically hit the ball with my legs, they are just confused. I lack an arm, but it seems to be more than just compensated by massive leg strength.
Brendan this is the best you've ever swung a golf club. Dr Kwon has distilled all the theory that you've had with Mike Malaska, AJ Bonnar, Milo Lines,Bertie Cordle and quietened your mind. Your clubspeed and release is tour pro pure. By all means get other content for your channel but Dr Kwon is the man for your swing. I'd love to see his Trackman numbers as when he demonstrated to you his release was immense. It would be fun to see you use this technique with the AMG guys sensors and then get the TXG guys to do a bag fitting for you. Best content you've ever had on your channel.
This is exactly how I saw it. I've been a huge fan of all theses teachers, especially Malaska, AJ, and AMG... but what Dr. Kwon does, really takes everything together and makes it work. Amazing 👏
I could not do this...... Step drill baffled me I can play well and hit the ball for my age at 63 against my cronies, but inconsistent especially with irons and distance with woods. I can often beat them all with mental toughness and effort. But I could see the difference in speed in this young man's swing watching this video. You can HEAR the speed difference. I have a practice mat and net in my garage so I can hit lots of balls. My swing was so bad recently I injured myself trying to fix it. Here's what I discovered. My stance was far too narrow although felt good to me. Get your feet out at LEAST as wide your shoulders even better a little wider. This move works! Step drill now works as well. Level swing is my practice swing. I haven't hit a really bad shot in a week since widening stance. Widen the stance kick start motion flows naturally! THANK YOU Dr. Kwon! Can't say it enough Many Thanks You are very effective and deliberate teacher. All the best.
Absolutely a thoughtful visual of kicking down on a motor bike foot kick starter with lead leg (post squat) in the downswing for added speed and power. Lead leg goes from a bent position to a straight position as you kick start your downswing.Majority of weight/pressure is on lead leg as you make the kick start move. Really works and for me offering a brilliant new insight for adding power and speed to the swing..A new frontier is being explored here hitherto ignored by golf instructors.
@@TheRuggedWay What makes you say that this was the cause of Tiger's knee problems? Not possible to hit ball solidly without straightening lead leg. Straightening is an absolute essential, make no mistake. Of course any extreme overdoing of anything can go from being beneficial to harmful. Common sense prevails here.
This "kick starting" action makes alot of sense. This is why you see Kyle Berkshire and Bryson DeChambeau kind of "spinning out" of their drives. As the club swings out and down you want your body to be moving up and away. Awesome!
Also the spin out saves their front knee (ask tiger how his no spin knee worked out...lol). When Phil and Kyle were discussing driving the ball they both agreed they intentionally spin out to save their knees from injury.
You should acknowledge Dan Marin who you did videos where he uses a similar lightly weighted rope to teach swing rhythm. Great video series! Love the content over the years.
I have been practicing these drills from Dr Kwon and I have been driving the ball amazing. They take out the complexities of the golf swing. My driving swing feels natural and fluid. And my club head and ball speed has increased. Awesome tuition.
You have arrived! No more loop.... this looks as good as one can expect....pro stuff. Time to go to the course, stick wedges and make every 8 footer you look at.
He is teaching the Mike Austin and Mike Dunaway "swing the belly under a fixed head" and "square shoulders from inside plane let's the arms fling" positions and methodology with dynamic motion drills. Absolutely brilliant. Game changing. I'm in awe of this. Interestingly, Shawn Clement has been very close to this also.
Thanks so much for clarifying the step drills Dr. Kwon. I saw an excellent tip today, from Erica Larkin that makes it easier to pacify the arms and time the pivot. If you place a coat loosely over the shoulders and do a pivot with totally inactive arms the sleeves are thrown both ways while turning. If I imagine that coat and focus on turning the sleeves of the coat while making a real golf swing, I immediately increase my swing speed a few mph, without even thinking about the arms.
Love the rope drill. All this content is relatable to me, my best golf was played with a lead step in the downswing which was taught out of my swing. Trying to get back to it.
Had my 1st round after 2 weeks with just the rope and left kick drill. Big difference! 1. I still cant hit straight but all drives end up on the left instead of everywhere. 2. Much fewer hurried rushed downswings. 3. On 2 driver i carried 230yds. Rare treat for me. I play 28 hdc from blue tee. Best of all i lost only 2 balls this round. It is a good walk.
*Bullet points for this video **10:59** it's BODY DRIVEN starts from your left-side a one-piece triangle to acquire a proper plane this get to your slot far different location than where you think it is **14:33** keep what you acquired in the upper girdle all the way around the spine to the bottom the club now is prepared to be released. Brandon, your first 2 feet of your natural swing have noticeable wrist hitch lateral motion slide IMHO one quarter to half speed from the ADDRESS clean up the foundation one-piece takeaway is the MOST crucial. Then you can speed up your good parts about the new swing to ultimately hit it FLUSH vs Speed obsession. Any high-level golfer will always have a reserve of speed because their mechanical advantage in every swing but flush is nonnegotiable. Dr. Kwon is tickling around what makes it repeatability here in Whittier 😉*
During the years, I have followed you, Dr Kwon and AJ Boner have for me, been the 2 best instructors both in terms of how to and the theory behind it. Thanks for sharing and wish you a great 2022.
This one (and only) swing thought for my driver swing has given me 30 extra yards. At address I’m thinking “squat down for the rebound in the backswing, jump up to grab the ball to start the downswing” to put it in basketball terms. Others in the industry might call it the “vertical thrust” of power hitters.
I find rotate body swing teaching I come over top spinning from top and holding club off. I've never released club I'm a hold angles golfer But last 2 weeks I think Steve Pratt Mike Austin teaching is giving me flush contact on my driver with like hinge release from top with no spinning out from top and now coming inside now and amazing contact from before feeling like hitting a rock, and now my hands feel free and relaxed and I'm in balance now Also my chipping I'm relaxed in hinge release but not as exaggerated, ball goes higher and more spin and lands soft
The rope swings were fantastic mate. You swing looks so much better! Plus the speed (Woosh sound) seems to be past the ball which should be great. I am wondering; would a weighted club help with the continuous swing drill? Great video. Thanks and have a great 2022.
This is awesome, what a great insight and definitely some useful drills with the rope and continuous swing plane practice that everyone can do at home. Really glad I stumbled upon this! Thanks!
Some great moves here, thanks for uploads. The biggest unexpected change in these swings is your head motion...it starts to swivel towards the target from the very start of downswing.
You have the exact problem I have. You even have the head pointing towards the target during impact. I'm convinced now that this symptom is down to mentally wanting to twist the lower body through too early bringing the head with it. good stuff!
Looks like you are getting an incredible workout, plus stretching ! My prob is getting to the top of backswing, this should help. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and the good Doctor !!
This is brilliant, I currently come to far from the inside- out and trying to find the right path the rope drill and continues motions seems like I will help me find he path naturally
Your swing after the training is very good and start looking like pros now. I am sure you are very happy with the speed gained as well as the proper swing. Also, thanks for sharing this useful video with us.
I can hear the difference in his swings. I understood this concept immediately because I've been working on recentering and then pushing off the left foot. This video makes it clearer in my mind. I like how it clears the left hip around without sliding. I figure using the ground better has added 10-15 yards to my shots.
Really a more “DeChambeau” swing, i.e. when Brendon does the “wind up” action (throwing the club to the target before going back for the backswing). He gets more “single plane” ...and the same when he does the “horizontal swing” drill. That is a more powerful way to swing in my opinion - I used to swing that way. (Now I’m a “hands and arms guy.” Just throwing that out there. I prefer a “hands and arms” swing, which is not an entirely accurate descriptive phrase - as once you reach the “second parallel” point in the downswing you stop the hands and use you legs to rotate and from there the hands come along for the ride).
I'm loving these Dr Kwon series.. question, with this golf swing does it always have to be 1000mph club head speed or can you scale it back when needed?
The way you were moving your feet during the continous rope drill is the way the greats moved: Nicklaus, Palmer, and Player spring immediately to mind.
I would probably prefer the term 'stomp' instead of 'kick'. These videos along with the many swing drills have been inspirational for me. I like using them on the course in between shots to groove my swing and boy it's great. My swing has been better for it.
Great video. Interested to hear how you feel personally about the journey over the years - with earlier videos focusing on a more arms driven downswing. Is it frustrating having new swing thoughts or a breakthrough?
@@DC-ln8wp I agree too! Been following Brendon's journey since the start. Would like to see another recap video. He did do one a year before once. Needs an update!
This makes a lot of sense to me. When Im driving it my best, my left leg feels a flex at the top that starts my downswing transition. I always wondered why.
Interesting, it would seem that there is a pendulum motion in the golf swing, but the top of the pendulum is the head and the bottom of it is the arcing movement of the hips!
Was wondering the same, where to find a rope like this? Fantastic series btw… the continuous move cures maybe 5 issues at the same time, plane, weight transfer, over the top, less arm more body, speed… etc…
I have watched you and Dr. Kwon demonstrate his bio-mechanics for power and it has made me curious as to whether these mechanics are the best for maintaining a healthy back. I am 73 and I still have a single digit handicap. I have played square to square and I have played a 2 plane upright swing. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. What do you think is the best way to play that will allow a player to get enough distance while maintaining accuracy?? I have a bad back from playing squares.
I have been following and transforming to a more core rotation golf swing. At first extremely hard to connect the arm and the body but I am finding more consistency with distance and accuracy. I just need to get a routine to us before a round to insure not to fall in bad habits.
I have a bad habit of spinning my font hip around before centering which causes my club head to be open thus a big push. Will kicking the ground with my let my hands catch up. I’ll keep working on it. Thanks
Hey Brandon. Think about all those hours you spent throwing a heavy hammer into the sand! Talk about training excessive upper body movement! This has been quite a journey for you! Thank you for pursuing your passion. I really enjoy your site. Keep up the great work!!!
interesting. does he work with any pga/lpga or tour players? almost feel like if you set up in a reverse k setup at address, you would eliminate the lateral movement on the downswing bc you would already be posted up. then all you would do is turn and turn but add the element of squatting then going vertical for maximum ground force speed. like Adam porzak mentioned, every inch of sway takes rotation away.
Yes, tour players have come to this lab to work with dr Kwon. They usually bring their swing coaches with. Bryson, Matsuyama and about 5 others I saw with their names on the wall.
Irvin Lee must be watching Mike Dunaway videos. I've only heard the reverse K theory from him. He studied Mike Austins swing for years. Austin had a pure swing path much like this video is trying to explain. Everyone has a slightly different swing path that feels more natural to their body.
As a ski race coach and instructor and am a scratch handicap golfer who at 74 still hits the occasional +300 yrd drive- this is almost identical to skiing which is not surprising since both are almost completely leg driven if done properly Another way of describing the same thing is once you get almost to the top of your backswing you drive off of your rear leg then driving off the front leg as you strike the ball. it's the same thing as pressing into the ground with rear leg and then pressing into the ground with the front leg. Just a different way of saying he same thing for those who don't get the driving into the ground with the rear and front legs, the slight squat all top players get during the transition from from the mostly straightened rear leg is where one gets the ability to drive off the rear onto the front. Then the front legs has to drive upwards or you will fall over. In other words you need to be able to drive from the rear to the front leg from a slight squat which happens after the rear leg straightens during the backswing
This guy is a genius. Everyone else on RUclips tells you what to do. He shows how to do it. Love his drills.

move, right?
You have no idea how much this video has helped me. The kick the ground was what I needed!
At 1:17 he says make sure shoulders and hips are closed at backswing. What a thought. I don’t think like that on my backswing. Can’t wait to try that.
Brandon, your swing is awesome after the drills. The before and after is very different! Good job. Great content!
Had my 1st round after 2 weeks with just the rope and left kick drill.
Big difference!
1. I still cant hit straight but all drives end up on the left instead of everywhere.
2. Much fewer hurried rushed downswings.
3. On 2 driver i carried 230yds. Rare treat for me.
I play 28 hdc from blue tee.
Best of all i lost only 2 balls this round. It is a good walk.
It took me a while to understand the motivation behind the drills but I think I get it now. Really interesting way to teach movement patterns!

I have to say after watching these videos that your swing now looks that of a professional golfer. The action is so different from what was before..
Truly great drill this one 'with kicking the ground'!! Definitely try it nxt time..wjen training with my driver. Many thnx for sharing this 'jewel' ✌️
You swing is looking much better and more fluid Brendan! It will interesting to see if you get some distance too
I would probably prefer the term 'stomp' instead of 'kick'.
These videos along with the many swing drills have been inspirational for me. I like using them on the course in between shots to groove my swing and boy it's great. My swing has been better for it.
This instructor is amazing
I love these drills! Just a little confused about the term 'kick'. I don't see any kicking of the ground. Are you talking about the left knee bend?
Excellent instruction!
Happy New Year! Congratulations for your swing improvement.

Great video. Interested to hear how you feel personally about the journey over the years - with earlier videos focusing on a more arms driven downswing. Is it frustrating having new swing thoughts or a breakthrough?
Agree- following BBG for years and would be great to finally hear some reviews by Brendan on what he experiences
@@DC-ln8wp I agree too! Been following Brendon's journey since the start. Would like to see another recap video. He did do one a year before once. Needs an update!
This makes a lot of sense to me. When Im driving it my best, my left leg feels a flex at the top that starts my downswing transition. I always wondered why.
I use the rope for creating my swing plane for driver and irons. It works for me..muscle memory
Interesting, it would seem that there is a pendulum motion in the golf swing, but the top of the pendulum is the head and the bottom of it is the arcing movement of the hips!
Astute
Before and after looks great!
Was wondering the same, where to find a rope like this? Fantastic series btw… the continuous move cures maybe 5 issues at the same time, plane, weight transfer, over the top, less arm more body, speed… etc…
you almost don't need video; the sound of the swing improvement is substantial!
Fascinating stuff. Would love to see how it translates on the range or course Brendon!
I have watched you and Dr. Kwon demonstrate his bio-mechanics for power and it has made me curious as to whether these mechanics are the best for maintaining a healthy back. I am 73 and I still have a single digit handicap. I have played square to square and I have played a 2 plane upright swing. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. What do you think is the best way to play that will allow a player to get enough distance while maintaining accuracy?? I have a bad back from playing squares.
Can you have a school with Dr Kwon in California in the future
Thanks for the share!! Great info. But, need to be very careful to avoid a possible lead knee injury, especially for senior golfers.
I have been following and transforming to a more core rotation golf swing. At first extremely hard to connect the arm and the body but I am finding more consistency with distance and accuracy. I just need to get a routine to us before a round to insure not to fall in bad habits.
Great video Brendon I would love to know how much speed you have gained?
2 miles in a day. 2 weeks later I did a 120 mph swing which is 8 mph more. But regular course swing probably 4
The progress is fantastic. I would be interested to know if this has begun to translate into lower scores on the course.
Does this apply to irons as well?
Excellent
I have a bad habit of spinning my font hip around before centering which causes my club head to be open thus a big push. Will kicking the ground with my let my hands catch up. I’ll keep working on it. Thanks
Im 61 and have double hip replacements im hoping these drill will help me get back a fluid swing
Great tip thank you
Hey Brandon. Think about all those hours you spent throwing a heavy hammer into the sand! Talk about training excessive upper body movement! This has been quite a journey for you! Thank you for pursuing your passion. I really enjoy your site. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks Bob
Where can I get the rope you were using?
What do you guys use to measure swing speed without a ball? Thanks for a great video.
Can you show iron swings?

interesting. does he work with any pga/lpga or tour players? almost feel like if you set up in a reverse k setup at address, you would eliminate the lateral movement on the downswing bc you would already be posted up. then all you would do is turn and turn but add the element of squatting then going vertical for maximum ground force speed. like Adam porzak mentioned, every inch of sway takes rotation away.
Yes, tour players have come to this lab to work with dr Kwon. They usually bring their swing coaches with. Bryson, Matsuyama and about 5 others I saw with their names on the wall.
Irvin Lee must be watching Mike Dunaway videos. I've only heard the reverse K theory from him. He studied Mike Austins swing for years. Austin had a pure swing path much like this video is trying to explain. Everyone has a slightly different swing path that feels more natural to their body.
As a ski race coach and instructor and am a scratch handicap golfer who at 74 still hits the occasional +300 yrd drive- this is almost identical to skiing which is not surprising since both are almost completely leg driven if done properly Another way of describing the same thing is once you get almost to the top of your backswing you drive off of your rear leg then driving off the front leg as you strike the ball. it's the same thing as pressing into the ground with rear leg and then pressing into the ground with the front leg. Just a different way of saying he same thing for those who don't get the driving into the ground with the rear and front legs, the slight squat all top players get during the transition from from the mostly straightened rear leg is where one gets the ability to drive off the rear onto the front. Then the front legs has to drive upwards or you will fall over. In other words you need to be able to drive from the rear to the front leg from a slight squat which happens after the rear leg straightens during the backswing
Dr. Kwon is the “kicking up” the same as what many coaches refer to as ‘post or posting up’??
