Swing FAST with your HANDS! And EASY with your BODY!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 сен 2023
- Swinging FAST with your HANDS and EASY with your body requires very little effort, or extraordinary athletic ability. It’s also not going to cause excessive torque to the joints of your back, hips and knees.
If you find that the HARDER you swing the SHORTER you hit it then you’ll want to watch this video to the very end.
It starts with a concept. One that is very simple! - Don’t make the mistake of conflating SPEED with POWER! Your body is many times stronger than your hands and arms which is why so many golfers choose to OVERPOWER their speed with their STRENGTH!
Unfortunately over using the BODY pacifies the only part of the body that actually touches the club. Your HANDS! Without your hands you have nothing!
Once you learn to EDUCATE your HANDS & ARMS by engaging both ANGULAR & LINEAR Momentum you can use your BODY as a FORCE MULTIPLIER!
Enjoy the Video. I hope it RENEWS your PERSPECTIVE on how to swing the golf club more FREELY. You’re going to create more SPEED than you ever have with LESS EFFORT!
Get after it!

OMG my handicap went down from 16 to below 10 after watching your video. This is the best advice ever. Thanks a million!
Fantastic! Glad it helped! A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Played in a tournament today with a Senior golfer in his seventies and he hit the ball like Andrew is demonstrating, with a baby draw ( and sneaky long) and it looked effortless! He looked like he was hardly swinging at the ball, such as a body centric swing, but his hands and arms moved quickly. Beautiful thing to behold…thanks Coach. Going to try and save my back, with a little less twisting and faster hand and arm speed. Sure worked for this gentleman. Cheers from Nova Scotia.😅
Simply swing the arms freely as the body turns through! No more violent disruptions from the top! Thanks for watching!
Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
We maritime like to do things the easy way ... if possible! John New Brunswick.
Great lesson Andrew! I am totally tuned in !
@@AndrewEmeryGolfHi Andrew just found you on RUclips and really love your teaching style. I use to play to a good standard (3 handicap) I was never long but hit a high slight fade but I knew where it was going. 25 years later I have come back to the game after stopping playing and my swing is a mess ! Lots of hooks, fat shots you name it.
I know it’s difficult without seeing my swing but can you suggest anywhere to start, and tip video of yours to dig into.
Regards
Scott
RUclips is a dark hole that will have your head spinning with multiple swing thoughts many of which may not be relevant for you!
I would start with your feet together hitting balls off a tee working on nothing but rhythm and balance! Allow the club to swing freely and do NOT hit at the golf ball. Simply react to targets and be athletic! Avoid multiple swing thoughts!!!
The arms swing as the body turns Scott! A good coach no matter who you choose is simply a “Short Cut” is all!
I’m happy to get you started with some online lessons or see someone local near you that is NOT a Method Coach! Make sure they find what works for “you!”
Sorry I can’t be more specific! Happy you’re back at it mate!
That’s great!
Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Best advice, best presentation, Andrew is the #1 instructor the majority of golfers could benefit from, in my opinion.
Thank you!! 🙏🏻
Probably the best golf advice for the average/senior golfer on RUclips. Please consider a detailed video on your approach to the first move/take away - how do you use your wrists, arms and hands to start the club on plane and achieve depth. Thanks.
Will do! Thanks for watching!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Andrew you are an excellent teacher / Thank you / Jim
Jim, thank you! 🙏🏻
"The picture doesn't tell the story." You are awesome! Keep up the great work coach A. Hope to visit you in the near future.
You know how to reach me Bob! :)
Thanks for watching!
Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Love how you teach a different system for different people. I struggle with getting my upper body ahead. This is great stuff
Get after it! 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
For the first time in 4 years and after multiple in person lessons from at least 4 coaches and watching hundreds of videos, I watched Andrew's Lag Paradigm video. My swing now feels natural and comfortable for the fist time and I am hitting the ball further than ever. I have a long way to go but Andrew's teaching is responsible. I wish i had found him a long time ago.
Comments like this make my day! 🙏🏻
Excellent video! The is the best description of the downswing that I have ever seen! I especially love how he emphasizes that the downswing is not a one size fits all for every golfer.
Glad you enjoyed it! Nothing in golf is a one size fits all which is why ‘Method’ coaching is problematic. All the best coaches meet their students where they are despite what they’re prescribing on RUclips or IG!! Gotta find what works best for you! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Sir, I just love your videos this is the best one . I was never able to hit 7 iron more than 150 now I am hitting 170 yard because of you.
Increasing arm speed EARLY in the transition makes a huge difference for most!! 20 yards difference is incredible!
Well done! Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
This is a breath of fresh air! I have spent the last ten years trying to start the downswing with the lower body with terrible results. Swinging the club down with fast hands and arms as suggested just seems to work with far better strikes and distance and the body sequences correctly without any effort. It seems to me that golf tuition has concentrated far too much on the body in recent years and this doesn't work for the average golfer who can forget to swing the club! Thanks Andrew
Swing the golf club freely and allow your body to respond naturally to that motion! The trick is allowing the golf ball to be captured in the process - the swing shouldn’t be interrupted by the ball.
So much ‘piece meal’ swing instruction on the tube that’s both confusing and any many cases impossible to implement on the golf course! It’s a smooth ‘continuous’ motion - Keep it simple and welcome aboard. Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
I start winning in golf game suddenly with my golf buddies. Amazingly, all concepts are clear. You made a big difference in my game. Thanks a million!❤
That’s awesome! 😎
This and the Tiger Woods video with Butch Harmon are probably the best description of the downswing I’ve ever seen thank you
Thank you sir! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Great lesson Mr Emery! This really applies to my golf swing. I'll remember "feel vs real"! Thank you!
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching Ray! Coach A. ⛳️🙏🏻🏌️♂️
I use to be a lower handicapper then lost it & quit for a number of years. Recently I've been trying to observe what went wrong.
After a few of your videos I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel.. This one really helps bring the sequence together. That swish at the bottom is very telling & with so little effort. Its dry runs now until I can get to the range. Thanks Coach Andrew
That’s great! That golfer is still within you. Keep it simple and be athletic!!Thanks for watching.
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Loving the content, thank you. I would love to see more ball striking videos. Thanks
More to come! 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
I’ve been plying seriously for the last 20 plus years best explanation off how the swing works so simple thanks
I’m glad you enjoyed the video!! Welcome aboard! Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Great video! I really enjoy trying to put these principles into my game. Thanks for the lesson!
You’re welcome Tommy! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Best explanation I've ever heard. Love that, thank Sir
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Great video! Eye opening👍🏽
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
I used your video to close the club face, this allowed me to stop throwing my trail shoulder at the ball feeling like my power source, stopped my over the top. Hitting the ball a lot straighter with little effort feel, thanks so much 😊
Glad it helped! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Great video and best explanation I've seen in a long time.
Thanks Malcolm! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. A lot of confusion out there around how to create speed! Get after it!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
You are hands down one of the best coaches. I tore my left back muscle last week so i am out for a month. Once i start again i will seriously consider getting online coaching from you sir. All the best from India.
Thanks for the great comment!
I’ve got students in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, and Japan. You would be my first student that lives in India. Whenever you’re ready reach out to me and I’ll send you further instructions for an online lesson! 👇👇

Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Really great information. Can’t wait to practice this at the range
Thanks Dave! 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
This really helped me dig myself out of a huge hole from a lesson that set me back big time. Thank you for a different perspective!
You’re welcome Darrell! So glad the video helped! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️
It was impressive that you could hit that far without moving your body. Thanks for the video.
It’s a great drill for “Isolating” the Hand & Arm Swing prior to integrating it with your Body Dynamics. Give it a shot! Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Really solid swing advice from a master instructor...Nicklaus used to say that he felt that he held his upper body back for just a split second while allowing his arms to swing straight down to begin his downswing.
Thanks John! 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Holy grail. Well done!!
That’s funny!! I think it’s an important one, that’s for sure! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Nice video coach. It was intro see your handsy swings go slightly further than your controlled ones with the full turn. Very eye opening. Padraig Harrington promotes exactly the same as you and it’s worked for me before but as an amateur golfer I of course changed it haha.
Thanks again 👍
Paddy is fantastic! Such a high golf IQ yet he breaks it down so clearly and concisely for the weekend warrior! Thanks for watching my video!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
The Bear used to say he wanted to feel the club get to the ball before the buttons on his shirt. Great video here.
Thank you Bill! It’s a great swing feel for the vast majority of golfers that “Drive in the Slow Lane!” Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Started golf in January. I literally came to this conclusion last week. Just watched this video. Wish I would of seen it 6 months ago to save me alot of frustration.
Hang in there Chris! It’s a marathon, not a sprint! Finding what works best for you takes time and patience - you’ll get there! Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Thank you for this. I've been hitting my irons so bad that I rarely hit greens anymore. This tip has saved me from constant frustration.
I played after watching this and finally started finding the club face. 100% improvement. Hit a couple stiff. I can't thank you enough.
You’re welcome Sir! It’s a frustrating game - I’m so glad the video helped!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
GREAT LESSONS!!!! I am 52 and hitting longer than I did in my 40s. The hitch hiker drill unlocked power that I hadn’t realized was there all this time. I am not sore after hitting 300 balls at the range.
Yes! It took 300 hundred balls with 7 iron to feel comfortable with the drill. 😂
David!! Impressive effort mate. Grit and perseverance or a rare thing these days. It’s a quick fix, or immediate gratification requirement for many. So glad the coaching has helped. Welcome aboard!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
I watched your video this morning before playing 9 holes. I did what you suggest : fast hands, slow body. It's actually very easy to do and the result was fantastic especially with the irons. Thank you.
Great Job!! I’m glad the video helped!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
This drill changed my golf ball impact and distance, absolutely amazing information, Many thanks.
Great to hear Johnny! Thanks for sharing. Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
A lot of common sense and logic right there, and that's what I love. Thanks brother!!
My pleasure!! Keep it Simple mate!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Brilliant coaching
Thank you! Welcome aboard!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Another golden nugget from the master!!
Thank you Fred! I appreciate the kind words!
Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Great lesson coach Andrew. I’ve been struggling with my body move faster than my arms for a long time. This video helped me a lot!
Thanks for sharing Kevin, I’m glad it helped! Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Do you think the orange whip will help with release??
Great video!
Thanks Julian! 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Excellent presentation..
Thank you Sir! Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Andrew that was brilliant, articulate practical and direct, you’re a natural teacher I think.
I’ve just recently started working on proper forearm rotation through impact, I’m amazed at how an active body can interfere with proper arms and hand action, it’s not what most coaches tell us 😢
I’ve been using waaaay too much body which is basically more effort for less distance, not too smart and hurts my hip, well not any more, thanks, subscribed 👍
Welcome aboard! It’s neither all hands and arms or all body! I just happen to believe that the vast majority of golfers over use their bodies early!!
Most golfers in my opinion would do better ‘feeling’ like their hands and arms are employing their body as they swing through the ball!! It’s shocking how much more speed you get when you do this!! Thanks for the support and kind words.
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
P.S Here’s my latest video FYI.
ruclips.net/video/OKXb_5ma4GM/видео.htmlsi=zy7daoikFdfgi5og
I'm so glad you showed the distance because I would have guessed 100 yards on your no-body strike. Wow, now I understand.
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching! Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Remember Tiger doing the arms and hands drill with Butch on the golf channel year's ago, he had a problem spinning. Feet together and arms down drill is exactly my drill if my game goes off, old Jim Flick advice. Excellent video Andrew
Thanks Richy! 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
This video is fricking GOLD!
I’m glad it resonated!! Thanks for watching!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Fantastic Information.
Thanks for watching! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Andrew. Back to the target. Omg. That works. I need a lesson from you!! Great great great video.
Brian, reach out whenever the time feels right. Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Brilliant thanks
Thanks Dom! Appreciate the comment!
Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Great stuff
Thank you! 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Impressed that you said average players instead of amateur, almost everyone describes a average golfer as amateur, that's not what an amateur golfer is. Arguably the greatest player ever was an amateur, Bobby jones. 13 majors and retired at the age of 28. 4 us opens, won 3 out of 4 entries in British open 41 % win rate all while going MONTHS between majors then winning. Like the message you teach, liked and subbed.
Rhythm and timing are the two things which we all must have, yet no one knows how to teach either.
Bobby Jones
Legend!!! Rhythm is sequence. The game has got more and more complicated. As I see it, if you want to impress people, make it complicated - If you wanna help ‘em, keep it simple!! That’s foundational for me! Welcome aboard!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
@AndrewEmeryGolf ty, glad to be a passenger, Bobby said many different words were written about golf so hopefully one word would help the student, with visual i thought teaching would get through more . Really like how you teach and you should reach and help a lot of players of all levels. This video was fantastic about the hands, i think thats why some struggle on some days and do well on others if a player learns this they wont have down days. Congrats coach looking forward to the rest of your catalog.
I think this is awesome advice for most mid to high handicappers. Learn how to use th e hands and arms first to create speed. As someone who is constantly fighting the issue of my hands and arms trailing my right thigh at p6, this is gold for me.
Thank you Sir! Check out my latest vid on using the hands! Very misunderstood subject!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Jack Nicklaus said it himself in his book Swing My Way “I feel like my hands get back to the ball before the buttons on my shirt”
Yes sir! Thanks for watching!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Arm faster then body .. Great Advice tips.. Can't wait to try it out..
Get after it Lenard! Remember to keep your back to the target as long as possible in the transition! No Transition Spinning!
Best Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Right on, Andrew - the body moves to facilitate the swinging of the arms and release of the wrists. Most people can't get into the positions of the world's best golfers in their 20s and 30s and shouldn't even try. I think one of the reasons the pros from previous eras (through the 70s) seemed to have less back problems is because they didn't twist so extremely and fire their bodies so forcefully.
Very well said sir! We’re on the same page! Welcome aboard!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
You are simply awesome
Thanks Brad! 🙏🏻
l bought a net and a hitting mat got it installed and started using it 3 days ago. Of course, by watching so many golf swing RUclips videos l get to experiment and hit balls without the outcome influencing my swing but by feel because we all know what a bad and a good shot is when the club head meets the ball. l have a stocky/muscular build and l find that if l swing just above parallel with both of my elbows tucked close to my body l make the most consistent solid contacts with no heavy digging into the mat because that is my thing taking big divots. l pick the ball clean off the mat with crazy solid contact and this is JUST MY ELBOWS (it feels like it) the pivot. It feels weird but crazy good weird. Having said that my body is really quite through the swing but if l try my normal used swing it screws it up. You just confirm that l am not having a dream lol. Thank you!
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing!
Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Exactly what I have been doing wrong. Thx again
You’re welcome! 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
I gave a fall clinic in St. George covering this exact topic and the 40 participants were amazed.😊
That’s awesome Todd! Congrats on a successful clinic. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
New subscriber. Think your teaching is brilliant 🏴☘️🇮🇪👍
Thank you! Welcome aboard! Take a deep dive into my other vids. If you have any questions lmk.
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
😊 found you about a month ago and watched plenty of your vids. My biggest fault was spinning out and your simple teaching of arms first has improved me massively. Just need to practice it more, tend to go back to my old spinning 👍cheers 🇮🇪☘️🏴
That’s very common - Stall the spin phase and activate your arms as you transition! Your body will thank you for it!
Best! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
I’ve been teaching golf for decades and I’m not even close to your skill, I want to work with you.
With decades of experience you have an extraordinary library of knowledge and your students are lucky to have you! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf thank you pro, you are awesome. In case you don’t remember, I’m the big fan of yours up in Seattle. I’ve commented on several of your videos. I’m really serious, you are a fantastic instructor. I’m watching and learning. 🙏🙏
@@AndrewEmeryGolf have you ever visited Seattle? If you ever want to visit or holiday up here and play the spectacular PacNW tracks, I’d happily host you. I love your channel and find myself learning every day at age 54 with decades of teaching experience. Thank you Andrew, your students are very fortunate to have you. 🙏🙏🙏
SOOO key. The body has to STOP rotating in order to release the club. Practicing hitting a baseball off a tee is great for the feeling.
Yes it is!! Thanks for commenting!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
This must be the key technique thank you
I believe it is!! Get after it, and thanks for watching! Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Wow, what a great lesson. This is not what I was taught to do and it has wrecked my swing.
None of us were Tony! It’s always been ‘turn and burn!’ Spinning your body to more speed which has wrecked countless swings and “backs” over the years! Fortunately there is an easier way! Thanks for watching! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Thank you so much for recommending this video for me since my spinal fusion. The methods you teach just make sense! You have given me new hope that I can get back to where I was pre surgery or maybe even exceed it. By the way, are you on skillest? Would love to be able to show you where I am at and what you would recommend. Best instruction on RUclips!!! I am also 52
Not on skillest. If you would like an online lesson so we can find what would work best for YOU - just shoot me an email when your schedule permits and I’ll send you instructions. Glad the video helped!
A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻⬇️

Hi Andrew.do i start my takeaway with my arms/hands vs my shoulders? I will check your other videos
It’s a marriage between the hands, arms and ribcage. For me personally I feel like my arms engage my body both back and through, but that of course is a feel!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Thanks Andrew, your videos makes so much sense to me (and to others clearly). As a cricketer I learned that hand and arm speed came from being able to generate speed in the arms by having a braced floor and core. Now that I’m much older, have been struggling with golf for years because of never understanding what the arms were supposed to do. Thanks v much! P.S. Q: does the same feel apply for all clubs including wedges?
Thanks for the comment! It applies for all full swings! If you require less than a full swing - a miniature swing, a pitch, a chip you’ll likely need a more “supported release!”
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf fab, thank you!
i loved your video - super refreshing. im that guy (“fast” lane?) who has good distance but usually pulls massive hooks to the left. what’d you prescribe? the all-hands-and-wrists no-body narrow-feet swing has worked for me before though at the range, where my one and only thought is to start the ball to the right
I’m glad the video helped!! You’re likely getting a little too active with your upper body as you transition!Thanks for watching!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Just found your channel this weekend.. such a freeing concept you teach!
Question- Do you feel/focus on either arm more than the other, or are you trying to move BOTH arms down & forward faster?
Russ, that’s subjective based on individual preference. For me I feel like I’m widening and pushing with my trail arm into impact to get linear. A lot of golfers focus on getting the lead arm OFF their chest and down their pectoral muscle in transition and then off the body through impact.
Find a feel that works best for you!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Great lesson Andrew. What launch monitor are you using?
Thanks! I use SkyTrak(+), it’s great for a ‘short throw’ system! A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Great content! Please help with L to L drill when I try ball goes far left so how you control hand path when you put your feet together
I hope this helps! 👇👇 Find a release pattern that works best for you :)
ruclips.net/video/2a8WhWgU2FA/видео.htmlsi=Y1ElZfcKMK7vgSm2
Another informative video. You make everything to easy to understand and cut out all the bullshit that does nobody any good.
Less is very often more!! Thanks for watching! Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
when i've tried that before i tend to hit it too right or flip but i will try it again. it kinda goes against everything i'v been working on for the past few years but i do need more distance. thnx
Maybe consider an online lesson Steve. It’s hard to make changes on your own! Thanks for watching!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
andrewemery.golf@gmail.com
Great video!
I know this sounds stupid but how do you EDUCATE your HANDS & ARMS?
How do you create ANGULAR & LINEAR Momentum? Just pull your arms straight down? I need help I’m 72 with club head speed of 67.
Thanks
Go through the drills and hit the range first…….Would recommend online coaching, it’s hard without seeing your swing. Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻⬇️
Bottom line - When the student is ready, the teacher will appear!!
www.andrewemerygolf.com/contact
Way better ty. Shot a 75 18 holes. Tonight shot 3 over on 9 holes. Alot of left and right holes. But struggled with that. I usually don't have an issue with this. But I was more concentrated on the body versus path
Nice Playing Gary! I’m glad my videos are helping. Keep it Simple!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Started doing this and was shocked on how far the ball went with not much effort!
That’s great to hear!! Well done!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Is the club head speed due to the. upper arms moving faster or the hands rotating faster.? And to get faster what exercises can faciltate this?Stronger forearms and wrists or stronger upper arm muscles that get the upper arms moving faster?
It’s a chain reaction that starts from the ground up William! A sequential movements that culminates with the club meeting peak speed at impact!
The point of the video is to illustrate the value of using your hands and arms in the golf swing because so many golfer don’t know how to!!
I’ve attached another video which talks about the loading and unpacking motion of the trail arm which is so important! ⬇️
ruclips.net/video/ELcJZmvLzSw/видео.htmlsi=JRgWFutCBS8SvI0h
I would refer to www.mytpi.com for any golf specific exercises. Squeezing a small foam ball will strengthen your hands and there are numerous exercises you can use to help you strengthen your arms but TPI do a great job of looking at the body holistically for both strength AND mobility for golf!
Thanks for your thoughtful comment!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Love it, why complicate a sport that's supposed to fun , when lifes complicated enough lol, being an Amuture golfer, I totally get your message, so ty!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Great advice Andrew, if you want to play decent golf in your 70s and 80s you better learn to use arms and hands 👍
Yes sir! 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Andrew, arms come racing down with extremely bent back right wrist while shoulders and hips are still facing away from the target?
That’s the feel!! Get after it! 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Would you say the skytrak was accurate enough for a 9hdcp looking at getting down to scratch? or pay the extra money for a GC3? Thank you.
It works great for indoor (short throw systems) which is what I needed!! I got the SkyTrak(+) which also shows face to path which I love! Lots of great launch monitors out there - find what works best for you!
Cheers! Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
very good video, what about the theory that if the hips do not open in time the hands will scoop?
A golfers ability to get open will always vary. Some more, some less. For most, (trying) to turn the hips causes more trouble than good! For the vast majority of golfers who have neutral grips - getting open or attempting too is a disaster!
Fortunately, while it’s preferable to get a little open to provide room for the arms, it’s more important to maintain some depth, and (support) with the pelvis as you swing your hands and arms freely through the ball.
Thanks for watching!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Like your video. I’m a slow swinger with tendencies to hit slightly behind the ball. Fat or thin. Afraid I feel that keeping my head behind the ball tends to keep my weight on my back foot. Any thoughts welcome 😊
Try this!
ruclips.net/video/XpwIP4HtLEo/видео.htmlsi=BTL3bNhKnntwXhxE
Thanks for watching!
Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
According to AMG with their gears data the hips should be 33* open at impact , chest 23* open & the shoulders square. What do you say to that ?
I would never dispute science or evidence based studies. I also mention the importance of proficient body dynamics in my videos. I do however believe that trying to hit those “#’s” by getting “open” at impact is the single biggest problem for 85% of golfers who transition spin and drag the handle!
Educate your hands and arms first, and then “IF” you have sufficient internal hip mobility you can start to create more lower body rotation at impact! Most golfers start with their body first which is why 85% slice with very little speed!
Thanks for the comment!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Andrew, I know from GEARS that pros and good golfers quickly get the grip moving fast from the top. I am trying to figure out how to match that need for moving the arms fast form the top with the need for good rhythm and being smooth. Now, all I see on RUclips is rotation, rotation rotation. If your a golfer who struggles with early extension will it get worse with a arms dominated swing feel? Thanks in advance.
You have to marry your arm swing with your pivot!! It’s a marriage like all things that is dependent on a cadence. I just launched this today! ⬇️⬇️
ruclips.net/video/gX0tu67FkUA/видео.htmlsi=CipAlUL7orbP2JFH
Hopefully it fills in the gaps for you!
Best,
A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Liked it
Thanks for watching! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
You show us how far the ball is going. I’m curious - how fast was your 7 iron club head speed on those shots?
I’m around 85mph Greg! Thanks for watching!
Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
I tend to hit everything left when I do this, club face is closing too soon especially with a strong grip.
Every “high speed” good golfer I coach with a strong grip generally hits a fade!! They’ve learned how to create linear and angular momentum already! You probably need to release your speed into lead wrist extension rather than rotation. It’s slows the rate of closure and stabilized the club face!
It doesn’t however mean that you should be dragging the handle. You just have to match your release pattern to your grip!
Here’s a video of an elite Junior I coach who has a very strong grip and hits 300 yard bombs that very rarely hook with an extension release pattern!
Cheers!

Enjoying your content Andrew but the video quality could be better.
Thanks Neil! Noted - gonna try to change the FPS and use the back camera for the next one. I’m a one man team - 7 months in, so learning on the fly and failing forward! Appreciate the input!

Skimming stones without swaying.
Yes sir!! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Does this work for long clubs such as driver and wood?
Hi John, it’s even more important
with the longer clubs that get left at the start line while the body outraces the arms in transition! This is simply a swing sequence - It works!! Get after it!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
I was definitely in the slow lane 😅. I kept seeing tips to keep wrists locked and not use them so I was trying to gain all my momentum through the body, and all of my clubs were hitting short. Your video and one other helped explain that the wrist, arms and body all have to work together to get the right momentum, I tried this and hit some of my furthest shots, still need to work on timing everything though. Is it correct to say you want to go into wrist flexion with the lead hand in the backswing and then straighten it up before you make contact?
To a point! You’ll likely feel like your lead wrist is flat at the top but you’ll have some flexion! (Feel v Real!)
You’ll want to rotate your knuckles down and into flexion at impact and then send that speed into lead wrist extension again as you reset your wrists post impact! Hinge - Unhinge - Re-Hinge! Get after it!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
There’s flexion/extension
There’s pronation/supination
There’s radial deviation/ ulnar deviation
You are asking if you should flex your right wrist through impact. The answer is no in my opinion. Instead you need to supinate your right hand as you go through impact (left knuckles turning down towards the ground or right palm turning down to the ground)
ie don’t slap at the ball through impact, roll the hands through impact. Watch Rory in slow motion. What clicked with me is the idea that the forearms make an X-shape after impact at about hip height, anyhow just learn the language and meanings and you will start to understand, good luck
After 23 years of coaching every level of golfer including PGA and LPGA Tour players I’m quietly confident I understand the terminology you mentioned in your comment. 😂
Having said that - I believe the ART of teaching is taking somewhat complex ideas and breaking them down into simple terms - Impressing a student with a library of technical knowledge doesn’t always help them get better in my experience!
As far as the “X” you mention in your comment. That’s a salient point and an extremely effective way of fully releasing the club IF you have a neutral grip! That release pattern should also be paired with more glide and less lower body rotation!
On the other hand there are plenty of shut face golfers who would play terribly by rotating their forearms the way Rory and Tiger do. These golfers do better releasing their speed into lead wrist extension which stabilized a closed club face. This release pattern also requires a lot of lower body rotation and right side bend offset.
I don’t believe there is ONE way of releasing the club effectively. The key to getting results is working with each individual to find a release pattern that works best for them.
Bottom line - It’s all about ‘Match Ups!’ I’m glad you found what works for you!

I guess I don’t have the speed in my hands yet, I can only get 140 yards with my 7i when doing that. Need more L to L work! Great video as always
Make sure you’re not gripping too much in the palm of your lead hand first!!
Align further right and work on hitting draws! It’ll increase your hand and arm speed and stall the bodies spin phase! Once you start seeing the ball moving right to left you’ll see an increase in your distance! I’m here to help if you ever want an online session!

@@AndrewEmeryGolf used to hit 130m (142 yards) with my 7i when I played golf regularly 9 years ago. Gave golf up for years, now trying to re-build the swing at 70!! And struggling to reach 120m with the 7iron 😫 Thanks for the video Andrew
Enjoyed the upload thanks Andrew...I can swing a golf shaft quite quick with left hand and with right hand but when I use both hands together I can't swing the shaft quickly and in fact when both hands are holding the shaft I'm quite slow...Any idea why Andrew..Thanks again
Speed incomes from a great many factors - solid contact, release patterns, arms speed and of course proficient body dynamics!!
Without seeing your swing I’m blindfolded but I would suggest creating more “Arm Speed!” The hands of course are what deliver the message but they need to be transported by energetic arms!! I hope this video helps you on your journey of discovery. Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻

Thanks
Hi Andrew. Are you pulling your arms down? I recently discovered this, but I have anxiety about hitting it fat. So invariably I get ahead of the ball and hit it thin. On the range mat no problem, but in the grass I am a nervous wreck. Golf is not fun anymore.😢
Start slow!! Can’t stress the importance of rehearsing practice swings, hitting off tees, and being patient. Full swing/full speed is step 5!!! Feel it - own it!!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
I guess what I am specifically asking, is there a concerted effort to pull or do you let the arms drop? The more I pull the more shaft lean I have but the contact is quite thin.
Staying behind the ball even with irons. I found a drill that helped alot with slicing a guy told me to turn my head and neck into my trail shoulder and keep it there hit some shots then feel that when you swing but keeping the focus behind the ball
That’s awesome advice, the shoulders align to the path of your eyes! I have that very subject on my upcoming video list ironically! Good Stuff!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf I'm almost one of those guys that should play alot better than I do I understand the golf swing but I can't make my body do it. I play with alot of guys that play better when they take my advice I'd get into Coaching myself but where I live it's not really any way to make any kind of living off it
Supple quickness!
Love it!! 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
When I do this, I tend to pull way left. Any suggestions?
Hi Danny, in my experience a pull pattern can usually be fixed by stalling the spin phase. It’s likely you’re not keeping your back to the target long enough as you change direction and/or getting your back to the target in the first place as you complete your backswing.
Try dropping your right foot back and exaggerating the feeling of staying closed as you change direction and facing the ball at impact rather than getting too open too soon. Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Can I do with driver and fairway wood same way?
Absolutely! 👍🏻
Love this. Can you clarify what “release” actually is please?
Ask 6 Golf Instructors that awesome question and they’ll give you multiple answers. And, in most cases the answers will be technical, complex and hard to understand!
In my opinion - The release” refers simply to HOW the club face is “delivered” to the point of collision!
As a Coach I believe that the value of a simple explanation is immeasurable! I hope that one fits that belief?
Thanks for watching!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf Mant thanks Andrew. I’m struggling with my timing atm. 70 next year. Now off 19.9 after playing most of my playing years in 12-15 bracket. Useful vid. Very useful. Basic mechanics 👍 in any rotation the edge always travels faster than the centre.
What time body should turn in relation to arm? At imlact?
When your right arm is in front of your right hip and you’ve engaged your lead foot! At that point you can enter the spin phase. Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
