It's the completeness of the 'tips' and the fact they're not just given in isolation that helps. Too many other channels don't teach in the round, but just churn out quick fixes with no reference to other potential issues. Adam's repetition of key points like set up and takeaway might bore some people, but I've come to realise that they can't be over stated enough. Often repeated on here I know, but easily the best instruction on TH-cam.
Love the explanation and demonstration at 18:28. “Golf is always played easier underneath you than around you” This was an “aha” moment for me and Todd expands on it so well too. Thanks for these videos and keep them coming!
Eye opening for me was comment most amateurs have slow hands - thought it was the opposite. My takeaway is good but I struggle with over the top hunched over at impact, hips not open. Made me realize I need to speed hands early down and under. Trail elbow racing back pocket to ball is also a great swing thought.
Adam and Todd this is simply the best series of golf institutions I have ever seen, you both give concise but simple instructions on the golf swing that I think any golfer can benefit from. As for me I now know where a lot of my inconsistencies come from as I was playing more around my body than underneath finding a lot more power and consistency now once again thank you both a big fan from Australia.
Adam, extremely grateful for all the valuable support. My game has improved immensely. This video with Tod has been invaluable. Between you, the way that you go through every in such detail leaves nothing to the imagination. Priceless Thank you
This one was a light bulb moment for me thanks Porzak it’s been a grind and the results have come then go away but every time the results come back I’m getting better and better and better
I always had a question on how I know my back swing is fully loaded and ready to downswing. This lesson gave me an answer. Feeling loaded on the right gluteus. Oh...man it fixed all my problems like over the top swing, early extension and inconsistent rotation, etc. I'm one of those who keeps improving my swing after watching this channel. THANK YOU!
This was incredible. I've been fighting a reverse K (back leg straight) for years. It really showed with wedges because I couldn't turn fast enough. The 1" hip bump was a game changer, but with the driver being longer, I still randomly fight that back straight leg with reverse tilt to the target. This video was incredible. The explanation of the relationship between the belt buckle and arms was perfect and the Mahommes story about his back leg makes complete sense and gave me an "ah ha" moment. Really appreciate your videos. Handicap down from 16 to 11 so thank you, thank you, and thank you!
Thank you so much! This is the first time I understand how to load properly and rotate. The upper cut analogy did it for me. All of a sudden I got it! Thank you again for your videos 👍
So many good points. My best days are always when my I am loading properly and making a complete backswing. When those things happen, the rest of the swing just comes really naturally. My biggest issue is all in the consistency, I will know if a shot will be bad before I even start the downswing if I am not feeling the proper load.
This is a fantastic video. It ties a number of Adam's tips from other videos together. Making sure to load the trail leg properly and thinking about the sideways uppercut further refined my swing. I was coming a little over the top with my short irons until I watched this video. Thank you Adam and Todd!
This is an amazing video and one of your best! Once I started focusing on getting my hands down my swing got so much better and I picked up a lot of distance.
Look it, great video! Loved it. Helped me simplify alot of things and I’ve been playing and learning for a few years. Always getting better and thanks to your channel even better and more consistent. Thank you
Great video as always. I would love to watch you doing the same swing concept, BUT using all the clubs (Driver, fairway wood, mid, low, pitching, and sand. I realize it's the same swing (maybe the Driver would be different), but as a visual person, I would love to see it. Thank you and please keep your video coming!!!
Love your channel , and trust how you break down the swing and what causes most amateur issues. What I’d like to see how we bring these together . What is my one swing thought on first tee to be athletic.
Three tips helped a lot. First, the perpendicular movement back of the trail hip. Now I understand the pressure transfer to the trail heal near the top of the backswing. Second, the uppercut analogy and how the trail shoulder moves. And a because of that, a third thing became clear with the start of the downswing correcting over the top.
The hand speed detail they provide in this video is absolutely key for effortless power. Fast hands from the top to hip high makes a huge difference. I have been trying to do the hip first and turn my chest into my lead arm. Really hurt my golf swing development. Synching the hands, arms and body is key. ⛳️
Great video, as usual PG! Trail hip perpendicular is the move that most people miss, but it’s HUGE! That gets the pelvis actually turning correctly around the spine, because in order to turn AROUND the spine, the hips must move back and away to the top, down and forward back to square at impact, and then back and away again after impact. Sounds simple, but people forget the most important part… THE SPINE IS ON THE BACK OF YOUR BODY, NOT YOUR CHEST… Read that again. When it clicks, your swing will start to improve immediately. Good luck, y’all 🍀
Wow so much useful Information in a logical sequence to understanding cause of what is generally communicated as the fix! I.e. get your shoulder under your chin? Really? I can get my shoulder under my chin without turning .
Shoulder turn Vs Turning Torso, this shows how the terminology of golf training causes many issues for us Hackers. Like shallowing the club, roll the right forearm clockwise or tuck the right elbow or let the clubhead fall back or whatever feel works for you, but if the teacher only tells you one feel 75% or more don't get it. A little while back I stopped trying to turn my shoulders and started ensuring my torso turns (my feel is chest) and I now have a swing not a slap. Obviously that's not the only thing, but it fixed so much.
In addition, It is not simply hand or arm speed, but the release of the bent right elbow and the left wrist angle into and thru impact that actually adds considerable club head speed.
On the backswing, and keeping the right knee flexed, what is your thoughts on a pause at the top. Sam SNEAD once said he played his best golf when he felt it at the top.
Best tip: Complete/Start backswing by moving shoulder blade to center of spine...then hands/arms have to swing FAST. However, those tips were preceded by proper setup n pressure shift!! Since I started swinging hands/arms FAST at the ball, the ball goes much straighter and further. Straighter probably because my hands n hips were finally in 'sequence' to arrive at impact square. It works for driver as well.
Adam when I’m making my best contact, it feels like my hips are a freight train and my hands are a jet plane that shoots past the train near impact. What do you think?
its funny because there are countless golf coaches out there teaching you should straighten the trail leg during the backswing for more power, consistency, and for a more effortless golf swing..i have a real hard time rotating without straightening my trail leg...
Maybe Adam & Todd can explain this more in detail. Yes, Pete Cowan says the trail hip moves up but he also says it moves back. Watch Todd and Adam as they demonstrate the move. Their belt line doesn't stay parallel to the ground (horizontal), it is slightly tilted. The right hip is higher than the left. If they kept their knees and hips level to the ground, then they would only be turning the hips and the trail hip would move back and not up. A small amount of knee flex in the trail leg is lost in the backswing even though we don't straighten the leg. The lead leg gains flex. Therefore, the trail hip does go up as the lead hip goes down. This is why golf instruction is confusing. In an effort to emphasize a point, instructors don't fill in all the gaps. Most of us amateur golfers take tips and specific movements to heart and get out of sequence in our swings. Frustration sets in and we jump from one instructor to another looking for the magic secret.
@@PorzakGolfCowan talks about it going round am up like a spiral, as with the entire body. I'd say it's pretty hard to turn the hips flat unless you're swinging very flat and round your body though.
This is why golf is so confusing. I’ve always been taught to let your arms and hands fall. Let gravity take control and do not pull. But they are saying to increase hand speed and throw medicine ball down. I’m so confused lol
You are making it seem as if the hands move separately from the chest and the upper body; but that is not right. In fact it is the muscles in the upper body (obliques last , etc.) that rotate to Drive the Hands! THINK OF IRON BYRON, WHERE THE CENTRAL MOTOR ROTATES TONDRIVE THE ATTACHED SHAFT AND CLUB. THE CENTRAL ROTOR SEMMS TO BE ROTATING SLOWLY, BUT THE CLUB HEAD IS MOVIG MUCH MORE RAPIDLY. So, this idea of throwing the hands down is not a good idea. In fact, gravity and upper body rotation work together to get the hands and arms down fast, and the continued upper body rotation flings the arms and hands(like a Frisbee) into and thru impact.
"weight wants to go where it hasn't been?" Well we know he wasn't a physics major. It sounds cute but it's corny and not necessarily true. Weight is simply the force of gravity. This force isn't free to send objects willy nilly. Only toward the earth. Sorry...didn't mean to go all nit-picky but this statement made me go "huh?"
Which tip helped you out the most? Let us know in the comments!!

You need to look around a bit more sweetie! Danny Maude makes incredible videos as do a host of others. Take off your blinders. 😏
1000%💯
100%. Not even close. Mike Pitt, too. Great coaches, better humans.

Thanks guys, best golf video ever,I am going back to basics and going to get hand speed up. I have finally understood
Can’t stop watching this video. So many great instructions. Greetings from Australia.
Adam is probably the best coach I’ve seen. Wish he was in Florida because I would travel to wherever he was. Great video(s)!!!
Another great video guys

The series of videos with your mentor have been outstanding.
Thanks Rich!
So good! Thank you!
So many golden gems on this vid ***
Nothing but gold…Thank you gentlemen…
Thank you!!
Not often I want to be American but I’d love to be a student shame I am in uk and 43
@porzakgolf I love you. And now I also love Todd ❤
Wow so much useful Information in a logical sequence to understanding cause of what is generally communicated as the fix! I.e. get your shoulder under your chin? Really? I can get my shoulder under my chin without turning .
Xplanation from tathatagolf regarding energising from dantian(core)act as glue for the golfswing helps to synchronise hands n body speed .
We finally meet the gentleman you always reference. Unlike me. I pass off every wonderful tip, trick or analogy as my original thought.
Great Advice guidance tips
Superb stuff.
Good information..how much bend is best at lead wrist, as well as the right wrist...can't find the information in any videos????Stressdr
Great stuff!!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
What do you teach for transition and the very first move in the downswing - what moves first? Any mental cues? 🙏
Dang this is pure gold 🔥🔥🔥👊👊👊👊

W the correct set up energising the core for the downswing is easier to repeat n distance can b controlled by the amount of energy from core power
Would b great if u can hv a video on how to use the core
I really like the upper cut section
🥊
awesome video! ready for a 95 today now!
Go get it. Have fun out there
Carly said it many years ago…..
Simply the Best 😊

It works for driver as well.
Oh ! so how do you release the club through impact ? Right palm always faces the target or flip over ?
Left hip straight back or like Pete Cowan teaches back and up in a spiral trajectory?
does todd have a channel too? would love to check it out
Adam when I’m making my best contact, it feels like my hips are a freight train and my hands are a jet plane that shoots past the train near impact.
What do you think?
super
Lots of discussion on arms not losing the horse race on the channel. But what about when the hands and arms win it? Early release. Fat shots etc.
Lil dig on George Gengus I love it
What would you recommend?
Going for 1-2 online lessons with you guys? Or getting masterclass as instructional content?
Either or works! The masterclass is our blueprint. And during the online lessons, we tailor that blueprint to your personal swing!
its funny because there are countless golf coaches out there teaching you should straighten the trail leg during the backswing for more power, consistency, and for a more effortless golf swing..i have a real hard time rotating without straightening my trail leg...
Same principle applies to delivering a good punch using core n ground
Is a good thought left side tilt and getting the weight to right heel in backswing? Seems to keep me centered.
Many great players straighten the right leg. See the all-time wins golfer (tied with Tiger) Sam Snead.
Wish I knew this information 20 years ago! Amazing how much time I have spent trying to do the wrong things in a golf swing. Sigh......
👍👍👍
They were talking about the right hip going back and heard other instructors talking about the right hip should go up. ## Hmmm ?
Which instructor said that?? 🤔
Peter Cowen

Gary player also stress strengthening the abs

Does anybody else think Adam pinches his knees in? Has he ever talked about that?
