A master class for sure. At 69 yrs ive started to relearn and my born again beginner status has had a great boost with your video coaching sessions. IM looking forward to practicing what you have been preaching. I just need some snow and chilly weather to... GET! if I could figure out the tech part Ill send a clip of my swing.
This is an excellent point regarding hand positioning in the downswing. They must be kept close for optimal speed and control. Provided the path is correctly from the inside.
I've got all the mechanics of the backswing working but I would like to know the mechanics of shallowing the club checkpoint to checkpoint through the downswing so I can picture the shallowing with the club in every position through to the ball. I've pretty much got the swing path figured out except for the shallowing and because of that still have a baby slice. I am very thankful for all the great information your channel has provided me with and it would be wonderful if you could help me with this crucial shallowing piece of the swing puzzle. Thank you Steve.
One tip that I believe helps me shallow the driver and keep the hands on the path you're talking about is to keep my right forearm facing up from the beginning of the downswing. This also keeps my right elbow tucked in. Does that seem consistent with the hand path you're advocating?
Love that explanation of "swinging left". What's missing, and seems to be always assumed, is, what actually moves the hands or the handle, from a good top of backswing, down to waist high with the shaft "shallow" enough that I can allow the handle to go left? I stay in posture, don't flip, the hands drop pretty straight down, but my right elbow seems to be the last thing moving in the downswing. It comes down behind me a bit, standing the shaft up. I rescue it enough for a zero path, but hands are high and arched down. Straight shots, but all effort and no whip. What should be moving in a proper transition, and what does that feel like?
I just taught a student today with what sounds like the exact issue. Your handle is going vertically 'behind you' from the top right? You could try a noodle or headcover right on the lead hand to keep the shaft lower through impact...it might have a dramatic effect on the downswing in order to conform. The lead arm has to swing out towards the ball more on the plane.
Hi Steve how does your swing work if you come from the Moe Morman single plane style. I have grooved that for 5 years. I need more distance though. I have absorbed and blended your pec grab and lead foot lift and wrist snapping. 15 more yards and feels like less effort too. So any insights or shall I buy the training you suggest? Thanks Steve.
Thank you Steve, I have commented a number of times to many of your videos. The driver is my greatest struggle. I really struggle with a pull hook, I have recently developed a push right as well. I generally follow Shawn Clements methodology in the swing at least as it relates to momentum in my swing but I have tried so many different methodologies it would make you dizzy, and always the same problem a pull hook to just an over hook. I will get to the range tomorrow.
This pattern suggests closed face. Fix the clubface first. Check grip, clubface at address and film yourself DTL and send it to me trimmed to 3 seconds Steve@hititlonger.com
I think this is the missing component to that leverage I feel on my best drives. I keep chasing that feeling of leverage but was unsure where it came from. Can't wait to get to the range. Thanks so much
Your throw driver method really make me driver longer than ever .,thank you very much. But so far I still cannot solve driver heel hitting , it seem this EP is the solution but I cannot understand it clearly so pls kindly advise specific solution for my case.
Steve I love your channel thanks. Can I point you in the direction of Marcus Edblad on youTube ?- he's an ex Swedish long drive champion, early 50's, hits well over 300 yards - his thoughts and yours are very similar, esp throw from the top and really early release with the driver. He cites you, Mike Austin and Mike Malaska as top teachers. I have learned a lot from both of you, many thanks
Steve I have been working on this exact move! I am hitting it straighter however I seem to be losing some distance I am 68 and keep telling myself it’s my age is this correct thinking?
It is a more advanced and complex idea. Just remember that once you're ready to get really good, or if you''ve stopped improving, the hand path is what keeps most people from really getting good.

Yes you can 'turn the corner' and still have the club approach a bit from the inside. If that's the preferred shape.

There are several factors that contribute to shallowing. Maintenance of posture, external rotation of the humerus, proper hand path, and more.
Is handle turn and path the same concept for irons?

Steve's got more secrets than J. Edgar Hoover 😲
Uhhhhhhh just don't tell my wife. :)
But does he have more secrets than Joe Biden?!?
Great tip stay tuned for next weeks secret.

Cause you're not turning your hips. It's all upper body sounds like. I used to do that too.
@@Inmotion70the clips are in your email sir
Great video, a real eye opener...thanks Steve
Awesome video. I absolutely loose distance by being to upright. I'm going to try this tomorrow
A face on view would be helpful to see where the hands are when as the head makes the turn to the ball into contact.
For almost every full shot your lead hand should be just off your lead hip.

Have any drills for the handle 😮
cristal clear 😊 thanks 🎉
Hey Steve, I noticed your lead heel moves backwards during your weight shift. Is it to allow for an easier hip turn? Is it conscious swing thought?
Unconscious move.
Do you use any drills so you can feel what you are describing.........I am 73 drives go about 215 on average occasional block or pull hook

My range sessions from now til spring will be on getting the butt to stay on the wall/chair in order to even have a chance to exit left with my hands.
Yep it keeps your chest rotating and clears the way for the hand path to keep arcing.

Not necessarily. I've got a number of golfers over 70 who drive over 250 yards.
Thanks Steve I will stick to it
Same for Irons? Some irons?
Congratulations on your 100k😃
Thank you! 😃
The throwing motion of a medicine ball over a wall helped me to feel the motion of the hands
I like it.
thats much better and less ouch in my back.
Looks like a hockey slap shot.
What...❤️😅❤️?
Make Malaska approves of this video.
And I approve many of his too!
Very confusing.
It is a more advanced and complex idea. Just remember that once you're ready to get really good, or if you''ve stopped improving, the hand path is what keeps most people from really getting good.
The snap hook has haunted me and ruined countless great rounds.
Gotta fix the club face. Check grip, clubface at address, then path and release pattern.
Can’t copy your footwork.
Don't. Mostly.
