"THANK YOU" Instructor Malaska! You are amazing! Thank you for helping golfers like me that struggle with the driver. I'm a senior golfer still trying to improve. So many teachers talk over our heads. You simplify the instruction. Can't THANK YOU enough!!!
What an awesome drill progression! I’ve had my longest drives when I make myself swing tension free. Yes, I have to purposely be “oily” and just let it free flow. I’m definitely using this sequence drills! Thanks!
Anyone looking for the secret to the golf swing! This video is literally it. If you do exactly what he says in this video you'll understand the golf swing.
Absolute gold Mike, I have a monthly subscription to the web site and it’s the best 17 dollars I spend the explanation and demonstration plus the drill have put 30 years of frustration behind me lowered my handicap to single figures and gets me out of bed in the morning. Thanks for your help
Mike you're the best golf instructor in yt. At the age 49 my drives are 50 meters longer than ever before. Iron shots are consistent and 1,5-2 clubs longer. Only issue is to get used to new distances. Mostly I'm "too close" to the green.
There are natural forces that amateur golfers rarely use effectively- whether it’s full shots or especially short shots ( chipping ) too many golfers are far too position oriented rather than does their swing function consistently - the ball only reacts to one thing - the clubhead - nothing else - so hands and clubface have to function properly- with minimal manipulation- good video - the points here are correct
Mike Malaska and Milo Lines teach at the same course? I like Mike's concepts better (hand & arms), while Milo seems to have good logic (heavy body turn emphasis), Milos method is too hard to do, but Milo does hit a power fade with his method.
How do you allow your wrists to be so relaxed and free of tension mike I can feel relaxed and sometimes near inpact I tense up in hands is it me not trusting and just letting club go or what ,I don't understand exactly what your saying though any suggestions
100% not true! Forearm rotation is an effect not a cause. Its like saying the hip turn creates this speed! Nope! The speed and leverage create the hip "turn". Completely upside down
I have a mental block or something when it comes time to hit the ball. I can do everything Mike is showing but when it comes time to hit, tension creeps in and my lever goes out the window. Anyone have any advice on how to keep the tension out when it comes time to hit the ball?
Try with no ball. Swing through not hit at the ball. Then imagine it's a puff ball of dust. It will feel like a marshmallow when you swing througch with correct timing.
That can be fixed in one session. There’s usually an underlying fear of missing the ball or something, that will never allow you to be free until you reduce that “threat”. Removing that is easy :)
I struggled with same. I stopped hitting a ball and practice really exaggerating the L to L everyday. I thought I knew what directing the momentum felt like, but I actually didn’t.
@@Dan-yd2jg everything depends on what your cause is. What I would do is clear all of the mental (for lack of a better term) motivators for what is causing the tension. There are similar things for a lot of people. Once you clear those then I could show you how to transfer that to your swing with a ball, if it hasn’t fully changed by clear the. “Non-physical”.
To my fellow golfers...... go out at night some time, hell, many times. Get some "glow-v1's" and let your entire past of golf go. Just develop the relationship with the club he is talking about. You won't think about position, body posture... you'll just be workin with the club because that's all you can feel before you go and hit a ball. I walk around with a club all the time (cops don't like it) but I do.
Pretty much sums it up.. 90% or more of the people I get grouped with when I book solo rounds don't actually use their wrists or hands for any speed, and they're basically waving their arms for all their speed, which basically yields nothing.
At address your grip is strong with a cup in your wrist yet you flatten it out on the backswing. When I do that all I get are hooks, boy am I confused.
Only his lead hand is strong. His trail hand is neutral. When he flattens the lead wrist, he pushes the handle down, while extending the trail wrist (which stands the club up). If your trail wrist is strong too, or it doesn’t extend, or you don’t stand the club up… hook city because the club will be dead shut. Not sure if this helps… here’s to hoping! Alan
These so called skills,sre not skills..this is how the body moves naturaly. Its skipping sitting on a swing, throwing a dart,all movements when you play any games and dont think is how the body moves by itself..without fancy names for the movements.

Mike Malaska is a legend many teachers these days imitating teaching his philosophy on how to swing the club but now one can explain better than Mike

Epic lesson🙌 Thanks Mike! ⛳️
Mikes simple instructions have really improved my game

So beautifully explained and easy to understand. I’m hitting the ball further and straighter with half the effort. Thank you 🙏 👍

Love this. Reminds me of Jim Flick and his teaching.
This is the best Video ever,ever , alte Schule Danke
GOLD !!!
"Dancing with the club" concept is awesome! The M-System is extremely good...
Thank you. I have to practice follow your process.
Great info Mike. 👍

It's a dance, I get it, love the instruction, it's just that sometimes it feels like my partner is listening to a different tune!
Great video! Are you using the same takeaway as your irons with a close face (parallel to your upper body) Thanks
This video is great! He teaches you a lot of good steps to hit the driver further.
Farther
Nice instructions. New perspective!
Urrgghh @@Wendell-j4s
Thanks Mike! Great video - easy to understand and replicate... Would you take this "dance" approach throughout the bag?
Simply brilliant
Hey mister Mike keep up the good work and ty for all you do
Wow! Nice! Makes so much sense! Thanks!
Wow! What a super video !!! Thank you
That sounds good. However if you swing a club with only one hand, what club head speed can you achieve? The answer is not much.
God this is seriously brilliant
Great stuff Mike 👍🏻
Thanks. A question about grip pressure. Tight with heavy hands like an axe against a tree or light to maximize relaxation?
Bravo Monsieur Mike !
👍💯🍷🇨🇦
Good stuff sir !
Mike Malaska and Milo Lines teach at the same course? I like Mike's concepts better (hand & arms), while Milo seems to have good logic (heavy body turn emphasis), Milos method is too hard to do, but Milo does hit a power fade with his method.
So you set your wrists in the backswing and hold it until after you hit the ball?
Same for irons and other clubs?
Getting the correct grip transformed my ball stricking
Awesome 👏 👍⛳️
How do you allow your wrists to be so relaxed and free of tension mike I can feel relaxed and sometimes near inpact I tense up in hands is it me not trusting and just letting club go or what ,I don't understand exactly what your saying though any suggestions
Forearm rotation is necessary for both skill 2, and even more in skill 3.
100% not true! Forearm rotation is an effect not a cause. Its like saying the hip turn creates this speed! Nope! The speed and leverage create the hip "turn". Completely upside down
Wow thanks for sharing your knowledge you make it look so simple I'll definitely be trying it out
If everyone is looking to make golf simple this is it
nice shirt
I create 3800 rpm with an +1.5 AOA , because my dynamic loft is too high. I'm scoopoing - any idea to solve it?

@@ReSourceEnergetics Any drills specifically for this? I struggle with this as well. If only i could cut and copy my practise swings

I have a few clubs with no head on it believe you me ( from my younger days )
I wondered how that could happen 😂

Or you are rolling the clubface shut.
I want to be like Happy Gilmore!

Throwing a dart IS a skill genius!
