Game changer for me. Your concept of recentering and the step drill to facilitate this athletic motion has changed my concept of the golf swing. Although I’ve been a low handicap golfer, this concept and drill has allowed me to hit the ball more solidly, crisply, and consistently than ever before. Shot a 69 the other day after days of only doing the step drill on the range and focusing on recentering slightly left at the top of my swing. I give all the credit to this channel when asked what I’m doing and how I’ve been able to hit the ball so consistently well. Here’s a sincere thank you to Mike and Shawn for this channel and for sharing all of this terrific information with us.
I must have spent 200 hours watching these guys. Brilliant. So much information, but it is the same few concepts that make sense. Well done.
I have been playing golf for 50 years and my handicap is 2. This drill that I tried on 25 balls and then on the golf course immediately after is incredible. Never seen something work so fast on tempo and weight transfer. Thanks a million !
There are are so many tips/secrets/drills on RUclips making wild claims about transforming your game, but few are easy to replicate without commitment to practice and the ability to feel the change. After 35yrs of playing this game I can honestly say this technique is about as easy to understand, as simple to copy and as immediately beneficial to enabling a properly timed downswing as anything I've ever seen. What's superb is that it's not a swing thought, but a physical movement within the swing, so it's 'real not feel'. You guys are in a class of your own 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
"easy to understand" is the highest compliment you could give! Thank you for watching. We're glad it helped!
wow. i used the drill in play yesterday for the whole round and shot my best ever score. i cant stress enough how superb your channel and content is, what a pair of legends! strongly recommend to all seeing this to try it in play. gave me so much confidence and even stopped me spending so long over the ball, it essentially replaced the million swing thoughts and just put me on auto pilot. have i hit it longer, yes, but that's not the game, its consistency that gets the scores! 0 lost balls, 8.6 score diff, took my hc down to 11.
I’ve heard you guys reference the transferring of weight early in the backswing plenty of times before and for some reason, it never resonated with me….UNTIL TODAY. I took this to the range and applied it, and like others have said, this was transfiguring. I never hit the ball like I did today…totally unbelievable. Thanks guys.
Best Drill on the planet. Most of my clients incorporate this into their training and it's been the number one thing that has helped them. And me!!!
Very true Paul, used it as well to great effect. Cheers
One of the best drills I have ever done. I can feel the 5 seconds Shawn discussed. Thanks for reserving the right to get smarter. Keep up the great work.
I’ve. Always had problems shifting my weight back to the lead side, usually resulting in thin and fat shots. I’m 73 now so a bit late to learn!! However went to the range after watching this video and immediately saw my #6 iron carry distance increase from 140 yards to mid 150 yards. I have a portable launch monitor, so know these increases are genuine. Like you say, I felt I had lots of time to get back to the ball. Many thanks for this tip. GG in Sheffield, England👍🏻
That's awesome results Graham, you must be thrilled with that. Keep at it and the improvements will keep on happening. Cheers
This is a fantastic drill. I felt like I had all of the pieces of a good swing, but I struggled to coordinate them. As of late, I have worked on this re-centering aspect of the swing and it has made huge difference. I like to feel that my golf swing “unfolds” and this re-center drill or others (I saw another AMG video that showed a slightly different drill) helps me to do so. I also practice this when practicing chip and pitch shots (the body moving forward while the arms still moving back).
This drill did more to improve my golf swing and ball striking than any other drill I have done.
I wanted to thank you guys for this drill and feeling.. I am a 2.5 hcp that scores in spite of my swing, not because of it.. This help tremendously today on the range with all my irons. Where I did run into a little issue is with driver,, by feeling a bit more left early, I felt like I was jammed or ahead with driver. How would you adapt this feeling and drill for driver?
Fantastic! I see you’re at Falcon Crest. This drill was extremely helpful. Made me wonder why not just start with weight and knee flex at the very beginning in the first place? This would be interesting to test with the pressure plates and explain the pros and cons of doing so. BTW, I had my first lesson with Dr. Paul out there and it has been changing my entire golf experience. Thank you all!
as a 10 handicap I have been looking for ways to improve to scratch! Just discovered your channel yesterday and I love it! Different approach and easy to understand!
Brilliant! This drill provides an immediate understanding of when the shift occurs. It’s sooner!
A little late to the game here. Tonight I did this drill at the range,and yes your were right, it was hard to do at first, but I think I picked it up pretty fast. Normally I hit my gap wedge about 100-105 yds. After several errant shots I began t hit some really good shots, swinging at about 50%, then I went for a full swing, to my surprise, I hit it flush, and the ball not only went higher, but landed about 120 yards out there. Now, I couldn't do that all the time, but even my so-so shots went well past the 110 yard marker. Also, my shots are Way more consistent. Me I'm 71 yrs young, but I do have a twisted, and curved spine, and also have arthritis in my lower back. My back was a bit sore when I got home, but the pain is worth it, hopefully it was just from using muscles I hadn't used before..This is a game changer for me, so Thank you both very much.
Gentlemen, this drill is transformative, you really do feel like you have so much time and contact is crazy solid! Have to say an amazing drill. Thanks so much!
Louis DeSantis Awesome thanks for watching!
Can’t thank you enough for this one. Drill has revived my golf game. Last 2 9 round scores have been 4 over each round. Hitting more fairways, greens and zero penalties! This is a big turn for me as my avg score for past 2 months has been 92/93 during a very stressful work and life time. Has helped sync me up and consolidate my practice / warmup to be more effective!
On the course do simply replace the step with pressure on left side? Thanks for these great lessons. John O'Connell
Such an important video. I feel this is a vital part of the swing that gets overlooked by most instructors on RUclips. It should be a caveat to every single hip rotation/transition video. I bet the keyword ‘timing’ is very rarely searched for as people don’t understand what the issue is.
Another problem is that you don’t get the benefit of seeing the recentering move as instructors tend to show you what happens from the top of the swing, when the key move has already happened.
Thanks guys for another excellent video 👍
THANK YOU AMG!!! This drill is a savior to my game. I "chunked" my first couple practice sessions by doing the drill without a club, allowing my trail arm to continue to a full turn with lead shoulder down. I then followed your "Practice like a Pro" at the range. Took over 2 hours to get though a bucket of balls. The first 3/4 of a bucket were tough as you predicted. Last 1/4 bucket was amazing. Easier the swing the better the outcome. Took to the course today and played bogey golf with the drill, mainly due to overshooting the greens and bad putting. Cannot wait to dial in the new distance. Your Pro vs AM Hip turn videos and drills are next to "chuck" on!!! Thanks again
Ken Gaida awesome man way to go👊👏
Honestly my game was in shambles. I used to play off scratch but recently been in double digits. Watched this on the range today and I haven't hit shots that pure in years. Works for every club Lw-3w off the deck. Had 2 people ask me what drill I was doing and showed them. They loved it too. Best teachers on any platform.
@@Ethan_the_CWO awesome job 💪👏
I used to have a very slow and deliberate backswing, concentrating on positions. Since watching many of your videos, I’ve picked up the tempo in the backswing. I can’t remember the exact videos that helped me, but I was wondering if y’all have a video dedicated to TEMPO? If not, any chance we can get one?
Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work!
I am right hand dominate but play golf left handed. Vision problems force this. I did your drill and got instant results. AWESOME! The two inch move away from the target did the magic. Is there anything I should do to insure my non dominate side is being used efficiently?
I love this drill. As part and parcel to it I took a forehand tennis stroke and guess what. My natural move with the racquet was left foot forward as racquet went back 👍. Why hasn’t this been talked about before it’s so obvious. Thanks. Tim
You guys are amazing in explaining the basics. You have helped my game tremendously. Thank you
Fantastic drill guys. I am a big guy who struggles controlling my weight shift & getting all the house keeping done during my downswing. This drill makes it feel like I have all day on the way down. Thank you & happy holidays!
Now this is a tremendous drill. I never liked the older method. Will go out and work on it . Thankyou so much.
Let us know how it goes, Jill👍
Best instruction channel on RUclips.
.03 minus that I just saw your videos today and been trying what you’re teaching and wow suck a huge improvement and feel steady. Really amazing stuff.
Shawn, you got a new mike-rophone! These old ears hear your words. Also, a great stutter step. It helps me, the no balance neuropathy guy, keep my feet by knowing in advance (in my big brain-not a nanosecond spinal response, which I haven't got) where to anchor my "post". Gotta do it! Thanks. Will get back to you on this...NObody, from Mike M., to Tiger, to Hogan hisself, has never had an answer to it before. pk. Peter Kennedy MD
this is a great companion lesson to the one about rotating at the base of the spine and not at the right hip and then the left hip. The early weight transfer makes it easier to rotate at the spine.
Great lessons!, Thank you! I only have one suggestion. Instead of stepping to the left to keep or move the mass back to the left for righty golfers, I think setting up normally while keeping the left foot pointed at 90 degrees, and in the take away and at the right time, the golfer has to turn his left foot about 20 to 30 degrees counter clock. This feels more natural while helping the mass to stay on the left. Main advantage: the golfer does not need to worry about the size of the step because he does not have to step left at all. Please try it and let me know what you think. Thank you
I would only say that turning the foot will change the angle of your left knee as well. This will change the dynamics of your lower body and will be foreign once taking real shots. The little step still keeps everything aligned. Just a thought
So after doing this drill what’s the end game when you stop it?
I will work on this drill this week. First attempts the timing feels really different - in a good way. I'll report back in a few days...
Excellent drill gentleman. You definitely stepped into the dark side snd made it a way to think about tempo that nobody has ever tried.
Thank you. I think for me. The term Golf swing shot clock, is a great concept for visualizing or breaking down swing timing. One of those simple, seamingly benign frases that connects perception, intention and understanding the second I heard it. It may be silly that I never thought of it. Its so simple its brilliant. Thanks.
Big Mike came up with that one. Basketball is in his blood.
A little smarter now. Thanks so much!
While it might be difficult for everyone to achieve the weight shift and lean correctly especially for seniors thinking about the power move, the belly pivot and other such tips I think would help golfers be in the right position. In essence that way they also achieve the idea of the weight shift to the forward foot at least that starts the downward swing. Will try the step drill to see how that adds a further check or useful drill.
One of the best pieces of swing advice I've ever heard. Yup.
I wrote my previous post before I got a chance to see the end of the video, so yeah you already know that you can play great golf using this drill. 14 years ago I also shot 66 off 5 h’cap while playing this way
I really like this drill. My question is that once the press is made forward the left knee is pointing forward but then I need to have it bend towards the ball to complete the backswing?
You’re both right, you do feel like you have so much more time to hit since you’re done with everything but unwinding once you get to the top. Still trying to synch up the jump move through impact, but it feels so much closer than ever.
Mike and Sean- you two definitely nailed this key move!!!
Great video. Just wondered what the difference would be between this and just starting off with the weight on the left foot ala Jim Venetos? Less dynamic maybe?
Hi AMG, a couple of things from me. Firstly I discovered your channel a few days ago, have now seen about 8 of your videos and I think you guys are FANTASTIC. Really thought provoking and HELPFUL. Thank you so much for what you do!!! Secondly, I recently discovered the joys of not moving off the ball AT ALL by basically pre-setting and posting up on my left side making sure to not reverse pivot. Does this not achieve basically the same benefits at contact as this drill does? Curious to hear your thoughts!!
Great video. I have been practicing on shifting my weight in my downswing and you hit the nail on the head. I felt like I had to restrict the movement or I had no time, this made so much sense to me. Thank you for another great video. Stopwatch drill, 0.07 is the best I can do.
WOW, awkward drill at first. Made myself keep with it over and over until it took my timing and movement to a place it may never have been before. 😳 A true aha moment! This drill will be a regular part of my practice routine. Thanks guys
What would be the result if you just kept the weight forward from the start? It seems like if it happens that fast would that be easiest? Or does that through the swing off? Sorry old video so not sure I’ll get a response.
Good video. Going to do that step drill next time I am suited up on GEARS.
Nice👊
These dudes are really giving out the sauce for free
The first 10 years I started playing golf I unconsciously lifted my lead foot off the ground and then back down again. My ball striking was phenomenal. Then one day someone pointed it out to me and I stopped doing it because it apparently wasn’t right. My ball striking went down hill and I put it down to just getting older. You can imagine my surprise when I saw Padraig Harrington practicing the exact same motion as I did a few years ago. Now you have a drill for it. Brilliant, can I add 1 thing, this doesn’t have to be just a drill, you can play golf this way to a very high standard. My little step was so subtle you would barely fit a feather under my lead foot when I lifted it up. I m going back to the future with this. Thanks for reminding me.
Awesome video, thanks. Ended up getting 0.05
When you step how much weight distributed between both feet. How much weight is on the front compared to back foot after recentering? Since you still have to complete the back swing?
You don't need to be on the back foot to complete the backswing😉
Does this work with a full swing? Noticed you guys did it with a half +/- swing. Does it apply to every club?
Nice vid guys! Is this step drill also useful for the driver?
I got 0.05! Took me like 100 tries haha. Thanks for all the awesome videos!
AMG best golf instruction on YT period.
Thanks AG👊
I thought I had felt flush contact. Until I tried this drill on ten straight balls and then felt (or didn't feel more accurately) contact afterwards. You guys are incredible.
Another great video. Thanks guys. Tried couple of swings in my living room and it felt great, can't wait to go the range.
My only worry is how can I make this work with the "magic move" that I have been working on? So far I do "magic move" while transitioning/shifting weight. Any advice?
Is the feeling putting pressure on the left leg or foot before you start the swing thanks Dave
Pressure shifts away first - can't forget that part - then at the top it should be 50/50ish. Then from there, it's shift forward early in the downswing. That's what should happen. The feel of that could very well be what you described.
Got to .05 on iPad. Can't wait to get to the range to test out the drill.
Boom!
OK.. Thought I might be good at this stop watch challenge . My standard time was .08 . Then really concentrated and got one at .01 ! Where do send the screenshot?
Hi there , on the shorter pitch shots would the drill be the same ?
nice video. same drill for a driver. supposed to keep head behind ball. thx
You're just learning to improve the timing, so no need to do it with a driver. It's the same skill👍
.09... and i will be working on this drill tomorrow. Thanks guys!
Great Drill. You're loading to the left as soon as you start the backswing, so when you get to the top, you just swing down because you've already shifted back to the left for great impact position. QUESTION: This would be similar to the goal of the Stack and Tilt system, wouldn't it ?
We see great players shift to the right before shifting forward.👍
Any suggestion on bpm for listening to during a range session ? Is it 80-85 or up to 147 ? Saw an app that was suggesting as high as 147 with a playlist. Wondering if this is too fast or just right for tempo. Love listening to music while hitting balls. Want to make sure it’s not hurting
Keep up the good videos! I watch them all. They are the BEST instructional videos on you tube. BTW I got .05 on the stop watch!
Thanks, Ken🙏 . That's fast!
Shawn and Mike.... I have always thought of the golf swing as “The Dance” because we need to move different body parts at the right timing or tempo. With that said, have you ever put the moves (best players moves/tempo) to music or tempo to observe what the tempo ranges are and if someone can learn easier that way?
We have not done that to music, Billy, but that's a really interesting idea. A lot of guys enjoy working with music playing, so I think there is something to it for sure.
Great to see a return to natural athletic movement. Now for the hands, wrists and forearms ? :)
😄
Great tip guys, can't wait to try this drill tomorrow morning. Makes soooo much sense and feels better before I have even swung a club!
Brilliant drill. Can’t wait to try it.
This is brilliant! It's the "Happy Gilmore" swing put into a drill. The reason Happy Gilmore works is exactly because it is an athletic motion. Can't wait to put this drill into practice.
0.00 with a screen shot. Can be verified by the fact that the screen shows the "resume" button, which does not engage until the start button has been activated. Done with two fingers (thumbs).
At least no one can beat you.
I'm in the 0.00 club
How do you know you have completed your backswing? Like John Daly vs a Jon Rham. Isn't everyone different and how do you learn your top if so?
Superb stuff guys...as is all your recent posts.
🙏🏻👊
Is this move like a counter balance (ie going forward while going backwards) thanks Dave
I just watched a video of Michael Breed saying to widen the gap between your knees like Sam Sneed ( sit down move )in your downswing . Do you agree ?
Got my phone stopwatch to .03 seconds. Good video, I'll be working on this at the range
💪😳
Keep up the great work guys - AMG is my new go to for golf swing intel. I'm a little late as I just watched this episode but was able to get a .05 on my stopwatch after 10 trys.
Thanks!!! Thats fast!!!
The first time I saw you reach this drill was when you were inside. It really changed my swing. This time seeing it makes it more impactful to know you still think it's super necessary in the golf swing. Back to the nets! Thanks
Btw just got 0.04sec only way to do it was with two fingers so possibly not quite what you were expecting in terms of methods though got the desired result!
Yessir!
Fantastic video and drill.
Just a terrific video guys. This has been a focus of mine this off-season. I love the drill. Thanks as always!
Thanks for watching!!
Is this also for DRIVER?
Great video , best instructors on utube
Did this drill today , Shaun’s shoe laces and all !lol !! Worked great !!
Haha love it!
Relating everything to food :) You guys are really a fantastic team. Thanks as always for the contributions!
Are you guys subscribers to the thought that the backswing (address to club at the top) is 3x longer than the down swing (top to impact)? If so, is the front foot move more at beat 1 or beat 2 if using a metronome to count 4 beats to audibly represent the 3:1 ratio of back swing to down swing?
Love this updated step drill. Thanks!
Is the stop watch contest still on? I've got 0.04
Great drill. Definitely gonna be doing this. Also got my phone stop watch to .05
I know that feeling when I hit it well, but didn't have any idea how to duplicate that feeling. I think this may have been the giant light bulb I needed. Can't wait to test it.
Great video guys. Thanks!
Started getting a lot of thins trying this. Any idea?
Great drill
Love it. I was taught the old method as well. This is definitely an improvement on that drill. Well done. I'm throwing down the gauntlet we need to see Mike swinging and hitting a shot. No offense Shawn, love your motion. I got .07 by the way
How about .01... I know this is an old videos but... lol I just did it. I have screen shot 😁
Got my time to .01 on the stop watch. I like the idea of this drill and cant wait to try it. My timing is way off. My hips rotate way to fast and it feels like the club is on my right butt cheek at contact.
Thanks gents, this was a light bulb moment for me, I've always struggled getting my weight forward. Went out after only five minutes practice using this drill and I can't remember the last time I hit the ball so well.
