This is a good explanation of how to get to p-6 using the body as opposed to pulling with arms. Now we reach another critical juncture in the downswing, “release.” For me personally it is at this point where “feel” or the athletic part of the swing comes into play. Much like swinging a baseball bat, the arms slow as the barrel of the bat slings past the hands. This is all predicted on following the instruction given in this video.
You have such a practical and logical way of presenting aspects of the golf swing. This theory is unchallengable, it is absolutely true in every aspect. Love your content and delivery. I’m a huge fan. Keep up the great work!
I agree...pulling arms down is some of the worst advice giving by so many instructors. You also explained the backswing so well! Great video and well explained. Right to the point.... I subscribed. Your information is a goldmine and very easy and clear to understand. I hope you get lots of subscribers.... keep up the great content! This is my most favorite video of yours!
Great content Kevin. Played the other day and took your advice about pointing my pelvis to the floor on the down swing. Worked a treat. Good luck with the channel.
great advice. Now I understand my better shots are the ones when I am able to let my hips get my hands in a good position. My swing thought has always been to drop the hands., now it's going to be' let the hips turn and allow the hands to get into position to swing thru.
Going to was some more of your videos. I'm at a brick wall and trying to hit my driver over 200 yds. Right now I'm hitting a wall at 180. I know I'm at the range and the range balls are not that great, but I think I still should be able to do 230 to 250.
This is great for players that get stuck. If you understand the body is titled down towards the ball, you know you don't have to bring the arms down to reach the ball. I would add that players with high hands like Justin Thomas need some movement down.
I think the reality is that there are just so many ways to interpret the swing, and even more specifically the way to train. The line from training to playing, specifically from RUclips and video lessons, is constantly being blurred. Personally, I disagree with Bryson. The body should be the focus, not more arms. Also look at how awkward Bryson's swing and stance is, how poor he is on hitting fairways, how violently he swings and treats his body, and how he has the same length wedges from top to bottom. I personally wouldn't take his advice on the golf swing. Not that his advice doesn't have value or could work for a lot of people or that he's inherently a bad guy or golfer. He can liv however he wants to, he will just never be my go to for swing advice or who I actively root for because of how specialized his swing is.
I think there is some feel vs real happening here. In your example, as you rotated, your trail arm was straightening and hands lowered. For you and others getting the hands down may be natural and requires no conscious action. For some others, this needs to be actively developed to correct OTT tendencies. Just my opinion.
Analysis of professional golf swing proves that pros accelerate their hands from the top in the first foot or so of the downswing to 21-24mph. There is NO way to be passive and make this happen. It is a measured fact. See Athletic Motion Golf’s measurement and analysis of this.
I’m so sick of those guys. They never hit golf balls they completely miss the point of feel vs real. Good golfers feel totally different things than what the numbers prove.
@@christopherspringer7809 interesting, I have added several yards to my swing using this style. If I recall from high school physics, most of the power of the swing comes from the arc reaching its apex and then your feet pushing back against it to speed up the swing: equal and opposite reaction and all that. Not sure, but that's the way it works best for me.
@@wwt17 yep, basically your body reacting to the club pulling away from you trying to stabilize itself. If you fail to stabilize yourself and begin to shift your body toward the clubhead, the club loses a ton of speed because of what I would call the "loose string" effect. I call it this because if you imagine a ball on a string and the string being pulled tight by centrifugal force you will have the most speed if the string stays tight. 100% agree that getting the clubhead as far away from you as possible will generate a ton of speed. Going back to the video, if you accelerate the club head quickly from the top, you also get a significant boost. I call this "throwing the club head onto the arc" when I coach kids. It pulls the aforementioned "string" tight immediately, stabilizes the club head, and get the club head moving very quickly very early in the downswing. In my opinion, the biggest struggle people have with the down swing is pulling on the club with their shoulders which does not generate near as much power as getting the club head on a wide arc early.
So repetitive, this video could have been 1/3rd as long. I don’t necessarily agree that pull down with the arms is necessarily bad as a feel. Unfolding the right arm can feel as if you are pulling. Most amateur golfers struggle with too much upper body/shoulders racing ahead, thinking that this is proper rotation. The result is they come in way too steep and have to stop the extension of their arms otherwise they’d hit the ground way too early. Arms 1st feel is advocated by a fair amount of instructors for a reason, I mean look at all the slicers out there.
99% of golf instruction on social media is b.s, sadly. It is why millions of people are aimlessly following bad advice on the internet and will never get better. I would not consider this good advice, imo. 😔
Only just subscribed and love the videos - best simple explanations I have seen 😊 I was always dubious about pulling arms down - this all makes sense now 🙏🏌🏼♂️

A wonderfully uncomplicated explanation - Thank you. So glad I came across your page.
This is probably the best explanation I’ve ever heard. Well done!

BRILLIANT INSIGHT. THis is a major visualisation advance. A
Great simple Advice tips
Great explanation. Common sense and realistic. WOW! What a great mind

Thank you I appreciate it and I’m glad you like the videos 👍🏼
Great explanation, many thx
i was pulling down last season, and it really wasn't working, i thought i was doing it wrong, when in fact i shouldn't have done it at all! thank you!
Interesting, It’s amazing how many different techniques there are in golf
Yes with everything, everyone has different experiences and even with the same experience people can have different thoughts.
Thank you so much!
Love your descriptions!!
Thank you so much Darleen 🙏
Great content Kevin. Played the other day and took your advice about pointing my pelvis to the floor on the down swing. Worked a treat. Good luck with the channel.
Thank you glad it helped 🙏🏼🙏🏼
so simple and obvious.........Thanks !!!!
so simple and yet so good
Thank you 🙏🏼
love your simple explanations !
Thank you try to get right to the point👍🏼
great advice. Now I understand my better shots are the ones when I am able to let my hips get my hands in a good position. My swing thought has always been to drop the hands., now it's going to be' let the hips turn and allow the hands to get into position to swing thru.
Great advice....your studio is amazing
Patience, patience, patience, and relax your arms is very hard to do, but when you do it correctly the ball really flies.
I definitely liked this video. Just when you think you've seen it all. Can't wait to try it on the course.
In transition can you talk about the re-centering please...thanks
What are your thoughts about the squat move during the transition from the top to the forward swing. Can you talk about that? Thank you.
My clubhead speed increased dramatically when i started accelerating my hands down at start of downswing rather than being passive with them.
Another great explanation!
Good illustration
I like this concept.. thx
Hi Kevin, always learn something from your videos. Why do you have a snow shovel ready to go in the hitting bay ? Expecting weather >
Love this video. Don’t listen to haters.
great video!
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼

can you do a video about dynamic loft? I have too much of it with the irons and woods. Thank you
This is great for players that get stuck. If you understand the body is titled down towards the ball, you know you don't have to bring the arms down to reach the ball. I would add that players with high hands like Justin Thomas need some movement down.
I just saw Bryson DeChambeau say to drop the arms then rotate.

Outstanding!
Where does the speed come from?
I find that when I do this it feels like the club is moving around in my hands is that how it’s supposed to be?
A loose gip pressure is good however the club should not be moving around!
Every other video on RUclips contradicts the downswing. Ones says pull the chain. Some says rotate the body. It’s a 50/50 camp on this topic.
Either way I believe good coaches want the same end goal! I wouldn’t mind a golfer lowering their arms as long as they are tense free 👍🏼
If you turn your body and let your arms just fall in slot. That would be good if you just hitting 45 yards.
It sounds so easy and looks easy but I cannot get rid of being steep for nothing
You are explaining what they teach over at gravity golf.
I’ll go check them out 👍🏼
Pretty sure the 3d data does not lie
Really one myth question. Do we really have to uncock the wrist ? Or uncock the elbo ?. Most coaches said we mustn't uncock the wrist????
I think there is some feel vs real happening here.
In your example, as you rotated, your trail arm was straightening and hands lowered. For you and others getting the hands down may be natural and requires no conscious action. For some others, this needs to be actively developed to correct OTT tendencies. Just my opinion.

I mean this dude hits 205 7 iron while looking like he’s using the effort of a 40yd chip, soooo.
@@wwt17 slight exaggeration but I get it. Still, facts are facts. It has been measured. Because science...

No expert here, but have to disagree. If I follow your instruction, I will throw the club out and not down. May just be me, though.
You are not following. You are tense. He is all about tension free swinging. Relax your hands.
He hits a 7 iron 215 yds how far do you hit yours
Wish you'd have hit a ball
