Honestly gents, your channel is the only channel for instructional content, there is so much subjective content out there, it’s too easy for us mere mortals to go the complete wrong way. The thought of “as much depth as possible” from other videos, never gets brought into context with body rotation and arm abduction etc and very rarely backed up with evidence. I’ve gone from 13 to 8.4 this year with your advice only. So a very sincere thank you, and keep up the great work. 👍🏻
Awesome job taking the info and turning it into lower scores! 👏 You’re 100% right. We’ve seen so many swings ruined because of how they’ve been told or interpreted how to get depth in their swings. It’s sad what some folks have been told to do in the name of depth 😖
Their channel is excellent because it offers a unique take but I find that different perspectives use different Lingo and explanations that set off light bulbs for me. This is one of the go to, must have, instructional channels though
Guys - THANK YOU for posting this video! I have been bringing the club too inside (all arms) for years and knew it but could not stop. Seeing how little the hands move has put me on such a better plane with loads of room to swing down without fear of hooking. Took this to the range and wow! Thank you!!
100 % brother... it all makes sense now. The one vid showed that your hands move basically up and down on its own plain and this hoop shows that in a easy and practical way, your hands should not move much close to the ball on the down, its mind blowing to me because i have the same issue, waaaaay inside so i top almost every ball.. That happened because i was trying to shallow the club and it messed me up... That also explain why i have my club face way open the whole time, because it compensates for the hook.. Now the work starts to get it out of the system and its not easy.. My lawn has 300 holes in it, not sure my wife is going to be too happy with me about that... hahaha
Wanted to give a shout out to Mike and Shaun. I had a private lesson with them yesterday and it was mind blowing!!! Thank you Mike and Shaun, you guys are both down to earth and know your stuff!! I have been practicing since I left your studio. Thanks again! Nice meeting you in person. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽⛳️🏌️
It was great meeting you! We was a lot of fun working with you, thank you for letting us help you with your game🙏. We're looking forward to seeing the progress you'll make this winter!
Recently, re-energized my obsession with golf after a 12 year period of not touching a club. I literally said "wow" out loud several times watching this video. I have no idea how i have not heard some of the information that you presented at some point in my life long golf swing education. Hands down the single best instruction I have seen on the internet. I am so excited to watch more of your vids and continue to improve my game. Thank you guys, so much
I am now probably 40 hours over the last couple weeks into watching your videos. Some of them many many many times over, understanding or hearing something a different way the 2 nd time. This video here possibly might change my golfing life! The hand path might be my game changer another one of those perception issues I’ve had all my life. I’m 66 years old, (I think I’m 18), and I have new golf enthusiasm because I feel freedom coming in my swing. I can’t believe my posture perception, has been like shooting a basketball in my mind , right….I just did drills in front of the mirror and all of a sudden I feel like the whole posture thing might’ve been my problem last night at the range feeling stuck practicing re- centering! Anyway I’m going to the range as soon as possible I’m in Phoenix and it’s 119° and I can’t wait to get out to do it! As I’ve said earlier in previous comments that I’ve had lessons (possibly embarrassingly to say at a currently 14 handicap, maybe 200-300ish lessons), and two coaches being big-time national golf instructors, and although they’ve touched on topics, I truly believe they tried their best to help change what they saw right…..BUT….I have never progressed when I should had w the amount of time I have practiced….. all these years fing incorrectly!!!! Thank you …. By the way how can I come and visit you and get on the schedule!?
Congratulations and a huge thank you. This is one of the very best lessons you have ever given. I have been working hard on getting a wide arc and depth in the backswing, keeping the right arm from folding, pushing it away from my shoulder and keeping the left arm straight. But your reminder of how skilled players move their arms back by rotating their torso, not independently, combined with your illustration of the 90 degree angle at three stages of the backswing and how skilled players keep their left wrist inside of the right shoulder all the way, was the clearest and most effective explanation I have seen in my 59 years of playing golf. Went to the range today and before hitting drives ran through a slow practice swing checking my positions at the three stages you show. Focusing on keeping those angles and positions all the way back was a great reminder of the importance of turning the torso and shoulders back as far as one can, and of the considerable effort and concentration it takes to do so at my age of 80. The reward was definitely better, longer drives. So, thank you.
You guys have the best golf institution content on RUclips for sure. So many instructors teach what they feel but you guys are teaching what is really happening with the data (gears) to back it up which gives me so much confidence to trust what you are selling. Great job.
I was typing my last comment before I grabbed a club even..I just did.. Wow.. It's amazing how much the swing is affected by the stability of the pelvis with the bent shins and the pelvis in, weight even. My takeaway isn't going too outside, top and transition are more stable..and u don't have to try as hard to Recenter.. All the way to the release being faster and more forward.. Just EVERYTHING... Love it! Can't be overlooked.
Guys, I have been laughed at by other instructors over the years because I saw exactly what you two are discussing with the golf swing. It makes me feel proud that you two are just affirming exactly what I saw and how I taught. Thank you for proof positive facts to back up my theories. Keep it up!
Awesome, trust those instincts👊. Maybe some day we’ll release a book with all the DM’s we’ve gotten over the years from instructors saying how wrong we are, only now to be saying the exact things we’ve said since day one 😊. That’s why good data is important, it doesn’t change with the fads.
What a great video! I don't watch any other golf instruction channels now, just yours. You have simple explanation backed by visual evidence from the worlds best golfers. My swing and ball striking has been transformed from watching your channel over just the past 3 months. I'm off to buy a Hoola hoop. Thank you guys!!
These instructional videos are absolutely brilliant. My golf coach recommended this channel as the only one to watch if you want to improve your golf. Really enjoying the content. Thank you.
You guys are on a whole different level when it comes to golf knowledge and in depth explanation. 14:10 blew my mind. I had to keep rewinding it to be sure I heard it correctly. Never seen or heard this before. Thanks gents!
I have watched many of their great swing mechanic videos. Very helpful... I think I came up with a training aid that aligns with their scientific analysis. Thanks AMG!
I just found your channel yesterday and this video was an eye opener. I am a 7 handicapper and have been struggling with consistency for years. This is such valuable information i can't wait to work on it. No instruction i have had has explained this to me over 20+ years of golfing. I feel a par round in my future.
What a great video! With regard to the backswing, your views are exactly in sync with Jim Waldron's Arm Swing Illusion so it is good to get confirmation that this is the right way to get proper width in the swing without overdoing the swing depth.
We've mentioned Jim and his ASI in previous videos on the subject. I'm not sure the steps that lead him to it, but he was way ahead of the curve with the ASI. It very much matches what we see in the data of great players.
These 3 drills are so EYE opening. Gives a unique perspective of what we need to do/feel RIGHT in order to simplify and better understand our role in the golf swing. Thank you so much.
Ok. Ok. I've said this on several videos before, but this video absolutely takes the cake. THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN AS FAR AS GOLF INSTRUCTION GOES. THANKS GUYS!!
I've been taking lessons and it's really improving my game but this video seriously helped me simplify things and get a better understanding of what I was doing wrong and what I need to do to keep things simple. I finally won some of that money back I've been losing lol. Much appreciated!
The attention to detail in the setup. I really am not sure of mine but I will now be more aware. Also I was practicing keeping my butt against a wall so that will change. Everyone is looking for big stuff but it may be the details causing me problems. In any event it is a good foundational start.
Great stuff. Watch one of your videos last year about the left arm and how little it should move. Not only did my consistency go up, I picked up 3 MPH of driver club head speed on avg. and top end went up by 5. Incredible impact to 99% of AMs. Love your work. BTW, not too difficult to tell which Ryder cupper was on the right. 😀
Really enjoy your scientific approach , but still simple approach, to the golf swing. I feel that I get the club in the correct position at the top of the backswing, but I would like a thought/trigger to get me starting the transition to the downswing. I’ve heard of “pulling the chain” but it doesn’t work for me. Lately I’ve thought of moving my trail knee forward towards my lead knee and this is effective. Any thoughts?
Great video as always gents. Quick question… I was thinking about purchasing a divot board. I’ve seen a few at golf stores and Amazon for $40-$60. What is the different for this one that accounts for the $129.00 price tag? Appreciate you guys!! Keep up the good work…
Great Video!!! A grip matchup video would be awesome. Also would I be correct in saying the right elbow in the pivot point of the backswing, and keeping it in front of the shirt seam is a helpful swing thought?
My father always contended that 90% success in golf occurred with a good setup. This is a very good video and the discussion on these three issues is excellent, thanks, I’ll look for more of your clips
You guys are so knowledgeable and this video covers so many positions from set up to taking the club to the top with depth and width to the down swing and hand path down not towards the ball so many helpful techniques rolled into one video awesome and thank you so much
Brilliant! These 3 simple drills destroy so many myths perpetuated by all those "quick fix" RUclips videos I've been dabbling with. I herby solemnly swear that I will work on these EXCLUSIVELY for the next month or until the fundamentals behind them are fully incorporated into my swing!! Thanks guys. What do I owe you?!
Exactly what I was searching for, the set up and takeaway! Brilliant explanation! Mahalo guys! Just subscribed, can't wait to try it tomorrow on the course! Aloha!
Thank you for another great video - consistently the best online instruction! Regarding width and depth, having seen your earlier backswing instruction I'm struggling to piece 2 videos together - initiating with more of an arm swing so that at left arm parallel the shoulders have only completed about half their rotation, yet the angle between the left arm and shoulders (when looking from above, down the spine) remains close to the address angle. I find I can't combine both - initiating with more of an arms move (which really helps width and less of an overswing) takes my left arm closer to my chest and delivers a deep right elbow unfortunately. Any help appreciated! Thanks again
Great video, guys. Always look forward with great anticipation for each new video, and I’m never disappointed. Always great content. This video was no different. Thanks so much for what you do and thanks for sharing!
Hula hoop! Absolutely outstanding idea. Thanks for sharing not only the idea of how to use it but also noting how to analyse yourself using it to make sure you're doing it right. This is what sets you guys apart from the crowd. Just awesome. Thanks again.
@@AthleticMotionGolf actually all three but if I had to chose one then the how to properly set up arms…..that one will benefit me and other hackers ! Lol
That's great, but for those who have a more limited body rotation either through fitness or age, is it then better to have a more three quarter swing to stop the over swing with the arms?
Firstly thanks for a great video. May I ask one question, at around 10.50 you discuss the downswing hand path from face on and make the comment that the hands actually move away from the ball rather than toward it. Would you say that this is a conscious move particularly if you’ve previously been a “right elbow into the side” player? I’ve always played like that with a very narrow downswing and had a ton of early lag that way but I lose that lag before the strike and feel like I save the shot with the hands. If you can find the time to comment that would be much appreciated.
Boom! You guys do a great job in every video you create. This one is an absolute gem. As winter approaches, you’ve given me some great areas to work on during the off season. Heading to Walmart to grab a spongy ball and a hula hoop for my grandkid…and me to enjoy. Thanks for sharing. I’m grateful for you both.
@@AthleticMotionGolf Playing with a cupped left wrist at the top. I know it’s not ideal, but so many of us do it naturally. I’d love to see more on how to make it work for those of us who simply can’t stop doing it.
@@halwal24 most tour guys have a small amount of cup (don’t have the exact # in front of me at the moment). The main thing is to not add to it coming down👍
@@AthleticMotionGolf I appreciate you responding. You guys are awesome all the way around. If I am out your way, I will definitely try to visit your place. Even if it’s just to personally say “thank you” for sharing your gift with others.
These guys really changed the way instruction should be looked at. Many good pro's can see what a golfer is doing wrong but there are really not that many that can communicate the fix effectively. These guys are the best instruction videos you can watch. Period.
Thanks for the kind words! We're fortunate to be able to look under the hood to see what's actually happening, and we're fortunate that so many great players trust us to help. We loving sharing what we find.
Hey guys! Adam Bazalgate corrected my posture six months ago and I am still working on it. I checked my posture after your video and found I am still standing a little far from the wall-rear still too far behind. When I do it right I feel way on my toes. Do I bend my knees slightly more to shift my weight toward the balls of my feet?
The content on AMG is unparalleled: it gives us mere mortals an understanding of a true golf swing, presented by 2 passionate individuals in a format that translates golf concept and nuance into readily digestible knowledge. This channel is a treasure trove of understanding and a must for anyone with a love of the game.
I'm intrigued by the hoop-drill, where you stay in one plane with the hands. How does that relate to the shallowing move you describe in other videos? It seems somewhat contradictory, but i suspect it's something to do with the club (shaft) not being in the hoop plane.? Could you elaborate please?
Ah... vertical shins..I found I was overdoing the pelvis over the ankles WITH even vertical shins..and I was finding my pelvis hard to control still. Probably because I was afraid of too much knee bend pushing my pelvis back out... Weight was more in the toes.. Throwing me around..now it's much easier...I was also having trouble with the right knee because of it..I couldn't seem to get it to want to bend on the way back down more naturally. Problem solved. Thanks guys. I post these btw in case anyone runs across the same concerns.. You guys are the best ever at teaching the swing.
Thanks guys. Not letting the left wrist go past the perpendicular to the right shoulder is a better defined concept than the usual advice of keeping the arms in front of the chest. I owe you!
Cool video. Question, moving the center of pelvis directly over the ankles using the wall, I feel like most of my weight is on my toes. Is this correct? Should this change on a short iron vs a driver?
@@AthleticMotionGolf thanks for the reply. Do you notice that golfers who’s pelvis is behind ankles are too close to the golf ball? I’ve been experimenting with backing up a few inches to fix this. Is there any solid technique to make sure a golfer is the correct distance from the ball?
@@johnmartishius4850 typically we’ll see guys reach too much when that’s the case, but every once and awhile someone will be too close. After your hip is over your ankles, let your arms hang straight down from their sockets. When both of those are in place, it’s hard not to have a good ball position from there 👍
Thanks for the winning trifecta! Mike, on the first drill where you state you feel like you are not on your heels and gripping the ground better, is your weight mostly over your arches and balls of your feet assuming the center of the pelvis is over the ankles?
Dope ass video fellas!! Getting a hula hoop immediately. The meshpoint of the takeaway and backswing still eludes me but I know it happens much sooner for better players
When the 3D model rotates and looks down vertical it almost felt like a Morgan Freeman narrative in a movie. This channel does things like no other golf channel. Always impressed with the quality of content.
Superb video. Very well explained with the body models. My only issue with the advice here is if I start limiting the arm movement as per 14:10 in this video, I lose about 10-20 yards off my distances. The shaft won’t get anywhere near parallel to the ground at the apex of the back swing, I’ll not be able to rotate further than about 20-30 degrees past vertical and that’s a bit loss of power for me. Is there a way to do this and retain the power?
Most golfers should not be anywhere near shaft parallel at the top. If you're losing that much distance there are most likely other issue at play here.
@@AthleticMotionGolf ok good to know, thanks! Perhaps I’m placing too much importance on how far I go in the backswing. I’ll say again though, that video was very well explained! I’d love to get a deep-dive video on arms in particular. Both myself and my playing buddy struggle with throwing the arms at the ball rather than keeping them back and pulling them down as you describe in this video. I guess it makes sense as in most other sports like tennis or base ball you think about the racket/bat as an extension of your arm. In golf that’s wrong because the club head is at an angle to the shaft which is at an angle to your arms. Swing hands at the ball itself and I need to do all sorts of compensations to actually hit the thing… typically resulting a high, scooped slice.
Gentlemen, wow, I’m so impressed with this video and your demonstrations. I’ll be 74 this January. You have added another ten full years to my golf game, thank you. I’m buying a hula hoop tomorrow. JB
With the ideal hand path being more linear downwards than what us amateurs tend to do. Is there a point we should be aiming to move/pull them to?? Like midway between feet and ball? Or in front of back foot?? Is it the hands going out that creates most problems for people??
Please do a video about making these moves with flow in the swing. Also I am right handed and play left handed does this change anything in this process.
Love your content guys, it just helps to understand what motions should we all be practicing to get more consistency. Keep up the great work and thanks

As a senior you guys have helped my swing so much, I have dropped 7 strokes since starting to watch your channel. Thanks so much.
great!!!
Great video, lightbulb moment for me on the arms in the backswing.
Thank you for another great video - consistently the best online instruction! Regarding width and depth, having seen your earlier backswing instruction I'm struggling to piece 2 videos together - initiating with more of an arm swing so that at left arm parallel the shoulders have only completed about half their rotation, yet the angle between the left arm and shoulders (when looking from above, down the spine) remains close to the address angle. I find I can't combine both - initiating with more of an arms move (which really helps width and less of an overswing) takes my left arm closer to my chest and delivers a deep right elbow unfortunately. Any help appreciated! Thanks again
Brilliant demonstration of arm depth!!! Thank you.
Love those last two drills!
Great video, guys. Always look forward with great anticipation for each new video, and I’m never disappointed. Always great content. This video was no different. Thanks so much for what you do and thanks for sharing!
We hope they are helping. Thanks for watching!
Hula hoop! Absolutely outstanding idea. Thanks for sharing not only the idea of how to use it but also noting how to analyse yourself using it to make sure you're doing it right. This is what sets you guys apart from the crowd. Just awesome. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching, we hope it helps 👊🤓
That was an amazing video. Thank you so much. I can't wait to work on these drills.
let us know how it goes!!
This is one of the best drills I have EVER had the good fortune of viewing…and I’ve viewed a few……GREAT JOB GUYS !
Awesome we hope they help. Which one was your favorite?
@@AthleticMotionGolf actually all three but if I had to chose one then the how to properly set up arms…..that one will benefit me and other hackers ! Lol
Your content is next level. Absolutely amazing at allowing us to understand golf swings.
We really appreciate you spending the time to watch. We hope it helps!
That's great, but for those who have a more limited body rotation either through fitness or age, is it then better to have a more three quarter swing to stop the over swing with the arms?
Yes you would have a shorter swing in that case
You guys are awesome.
Awesome, awesome info and knowledge shared here. Thank you.
So good. So very good.
Firstly thanks for a great video. May I ask one question, at around 10.50 you discuss the downswing hand path from face on and make the comment that the hands actually move away from the ball rather than toward it. Would you say that this is a conscious move particularly if you’ve previously been a “right elbow into the side” player? I’ve always played like that with a very narrow downswing and had a ton of early lag that way but I lose that lag before the strike and feel like I save the shot with the hands. If you can find the time to comment that would be much appreciated.
You’re exactly right. Work on having your trail arm straighten while lowering. That will take care of both for you👍
Incredible!!
Mind blowing !
Thanks 🤯
Boom! You guys do a great job in every video you create. This one is an absolute gem. As winter approaches, you’ve given me some great areas to work on during the off season. Heading to Walmart to grab a spongy ball and a hula hoop for my grandkid…and me to enjoy. Thanks for sharing. I’m grateful for you both.
Love it! Winter is our favorite time of year for improving the swing🤓. Anything else we can make to help your game this off-season?
@@AthleticMotionGolf Playing with a cupped left wrist at the top. I know it’s not ideal, but so many of us do it naturally. I’d love to see more on how to make it work for those of us who simply can’t stop doing it.
@@halwal24 most tour guys have a small amount of cup (don’t have the exact # in front of me at the moment). The main thing is to not add to it coming down👍
@@AthleticMotionGolf I appreciate you responding. You guys are awesome all the way around. If I am out your way, I will definitely try to visit your place. Even if it’s just to personally say “thank you” for sharing your gift with others.
These guys really changed the way instruction should be looked at. Many good pro's can see what a golfer is doing wrong but there are really not that many that can communicate the fix effectively. These guys are the best instruction videos you can watch. Period.
Thanks for the kind words! We're fortunate to be able to look under the hood to see what's actually happening, and we're fortunate that so many great players trust us to help. We loving sharing what we find.
Nice video guys, very helpful to me. I see what I’m doing wrong with my swing. Keep up the great work.
Great video guys. I will get back to you on progress.
🙏🏻👊
Hey guys! Adam Bazalgate corrected my posture six months ago and I am still working on it. I checked my posture after your video and found I am still standing a little far from the wall-rear still too far behind. When I do it right I feel way on my toes. Do I bend my knees slightly more to shift my weight toward the balls of my feet?
The content on AMG is unparalleled: it gives us mere mortals an understanding of a true golf swing, presented by 2 passionate individuals in a format that translates golf concept and nuance into readily digestible knowledge. This channel is a treasure trove of understanding and a must for anyone with a love of the game.
Wow, thanks for the kind words. We're glad to hear it helps. Thanks for watching!
I'm intrigued by the hoop-drill, where you stay in one plane with the hands. How does that relate to the shallowing move you describe in other videos? It seems somewhat contradictory, but i suspect it's something to do with the club (shaft) not being in the hoop plane.? Could you elaborate please?
Ah... vertical shins..I found I was overdoing the pelvis over the ankles WITH even vertical shins..and I was finding my pelvis hard to control still. Probably because I was afraid of too much knee bend pushing my pelvis back out... Weight was more in the toes.. Throwing me around..now it's much easier...I was also having trouble with the right knee because of it..I couldn't seem to get it to want to bend on the way back down more naturally. Problem solved. Thanks guys. I post these btw in case anyone runs across the same concerns.. You guys are the best ever at teaching the swing.
Outstanding video guys!
thanks!!!
You’ve got a new fan. The gear suit illustrations are fantastic!
Glad to have you on board!!
Thanks guys. Not letting the left wrist go past the perpendicular to the right shoulder is a better defined concept than the usual advice of keeping the arms in front of the chest. I owe you!
Cool video. Question, moving the center of pelvis directly over the ankles using the wall, I feel like most of my weight is on my toes. Is this correct? Should this change on a short iron vs a driver?
Very normal to feel if you're not used to doing it👍
@@AthleticMotionGolf thanks for the reply. Do you notice that golfers who’s pelvis is behind ankles are too close to the golf ball? I’ve been experimenting with backing up a few inches to fix this. Is there any solid technique to make sure a golfer is the correct distance from the ball?
@@johnmartishius4850 typically we’ll see guys reach too much when that’s the case, but every once and awhile someone will be too close. After your hip is over your ankles, let your arms hang straight down from their sockets. When both of those are in place, it’s hard not to have a good ball position from there 👍
More great content + easy drills 🔥🔥🔥
thanks!
Thanks for the winning trifecta! Mike, on the first drill where you state you feel like you are not on your heels and gripping the ground better, is your weight mostly over your arches and balls of your feet assuming the center of the pelvis is over the ankles?
yessir
good stuff there, should help me cure some of my problems, thnx.
great!
Wow, amazing information can’t wait to work on this!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏌️♂️
great video as usual THX!!!
thanks!
Do you have any videos on how the wrists hinge, and how it differs with different grips (strong, weak, etc.), pros v. ams?
Wow eye opener for sure 🤯
:)
Dope ass video fellas!! Getting a hula hoop immediately. The meshpoint of the takeaway and backswing still eludes me but I know it happens much sooner for better players
Lovely video as always! For the ‘squeeze’ drill would you get the same benefit using some inflatable swim arm-bands?
That could work 🏌️♂️👍🏻
When the 3D model rotates and looks down vertical it almost felt like a Morgan Freeman narrative in a movie. This channel does things like no other golf channel. Always impressed with the quality of content.
Question: how do you transition in the hoop drill to impact? Seems like that gets you to last arm parallel but not through impact/release?
It gets you to at least shaft parallel then it’s a mirror movement on the opposite side
Love it fellas. As usual ya'll provide top notch instruction for free. Thank you
Wait! You haven't gotten your bill yet??? 😜. Thanks for watching 💯
@@AthleticMotionGolf 🤣🤣🤣
What is the size of the football you were referring too? The one you placed in the left sleeve.
I needed all three of these. Thank you AMG! I hope to get down there to see you for an in person lesson this winter!
C’mon 👊
Superb video. Very well explained with the body models. My only issue with the advice here is if I start limiting the arm movement as per 14:10 in this video, I lose about 10-20 yards off my distances. The shaft won’t get anywhere near parallel to the ground at the apex of the back swing, I’ll not be able to rotate further than about 20-30 degrees past vertical and that’s a bit loss of power for me. Is there a way to do this and retain the power?
Most golfers should not be anywhere near shaft parallel at the top. If you're losing that much distance there are most likely other issue at play here.
@@AthleticMotionGolf ok good to know, thanks! Perhaps I’m placing too much importance on how far I go in the backswing. I’ll say again though, that video was very well explained! I’d love to get a deep-dive video on arms in particular. Both myself and my playing buddy struggle with throwing the arms at the ball rather than keeping them back and pulling them down as you describe in this video. I guess it makes sense as in most other sports like tennis or base ball you think about the racket/bat as an extension of your arm. In golf that’s wrong because the club head is at an angle to the shaft which is at an angle to your arms. Swing hands at the ball itself and I need to do all sorts of compensations to actually hit the thing… typically resulting a high, scooped slice.
Got it. Turn, baby, turn. That's something I keep coming back to.
👊🤓
Gentlemen, wow, I’m so impressed with this video and your demonstrations. I’ll be 74 this January. You have added another ten full years to my golf game, thank you. I’m buying a hula hoop tomorrow.
JB
love it!!
excellent analysis. 👍👍👍
🙏👊
Outstanding lesson!
🙏🏻👊
With the ideal hand path being more linear downwards than what us amateurs tend to do. Is there a point we should be aiming to move/pull them to?? Like midway between feet and ball? Or in front of back foot?? Is it the hands going out that creates most problems for people??
Simply great!
Thank you!!!!🏌️♂️👍🏻
Please do a video about making these moves with flow in the swing. Also I am right handed and play left handed does this change anything in this process.
Love your content guys, it just helps to understand what motions should we all be practicing to get more consistency. Keep up the great work and thanks
We hope it helps! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
