I can’t believe I ran into this video. A couple months ago I somehow figured out that the golf swing is very similar to throwing a frisbee. The the throwing feeling has improved my balance and tempo and really has me focused on the target.
I’ve been throwing a frisbee into a net in my garage for a couple weeks now. I throw ten times then switch over to a club, then back again ,amazing how natural the weight transfers in the frisbee throw to the lead leg before you release it. Then copy that feeling to the golf club, I get to the lead side much earlier after using the frisbee . Thanks for the video, always very insightful .
Sat here watching the rain pour down through the window & watching your video. I am totally right side dominant, even wear my watch on the right wrist. Never thrown a frisbee in my life but having mimicked it a couple of times, it would appear I my natural method would be to throw it left handed. Serious food for thought & when the rain stops I'm going to go out and buy one. Excellent video by the way.
As someone that plays disc golf, it's funny to see a drill for ball golf. Try throwing a disc golf disc 600 feet though. What I do notice is that a lot of things ball golf teachers think people do because they're "hitting at the ball" are some of the exact problems we have and we're not trying to hit anything. Coming over the top is a good example. One of the most common disc golf form errors. Coming over the top is not because you're hitting at the ball, it's because you're rotating the swing in the wrong direction.
@@JonathanTaylor63 I primarily watch ball golf videos which has helped me develop a heck of a vertical straight arm swing. Not great for disc golf. I wonder since you're an instructor, if I was trying to make the same swing as you, but instead of keeping the left arm straight, the forearm needs to bend in and out of the chest, how would I change the standard golf swing so that my forearm bent?
Can you explain a little about “ Coming over the top is not because you’re hitting at the ball, it’s because you’re rotating the swing in the wrong direction .
@@mikehammer8555 ruclips.net/video/W75XqL2iq1s/видео.html You can see from this, the windmill drill, the correct direction to rotate the swing. If you attempt to rotate the swing in the opposite direction, you are coming over the top. Imagine,as he spins his arm, he's tracing a giant circle. The club needs to trace the bottom of it on backswing and downswing. What a lot of people do it trace the bottom on the way back and the top of the circle of the way down, creating an over the top of the circle swing. The swing is an underhanded throw not an overhead throw. Again, in an underhand throw, we follow the bottom of the circle. In an overhand throw we trace the top of the circle.
For a complete beginner golfer, with this and some of the other key moves of the swing in mind could it be better to learn to play with your dominant hand as the lead hand? Eg right handed golfer swinging traditionally left handed clubs?
@@JonathanTaylor63 I think there are a few videos around on RUclips about this but it's not widely discussed. The thing that helped me the most in your video is learning the difference between a flip and a release.

Very good

You are welcome, keep it up.

The frisbee throw is an excellent idea, thank you.
Thanks

Very interesting, thanks for that 🙏

No, your trail hand plays a massive role in the speed and accuracy of your swing.
@@JonathanTaylor63 I play lead hand dominant and it feels more natural.
@@JonathanTaylor63 time for a trail wrist drill then. 😅
This is interesting, I have thought you hold your wrist angles until after impact.
I think that a lot of people thought that.
