WOW!! I was just kind of passing time looking at various videos on various topics but I just clicked on this video mostly from the caption and image in the title. Most of what you are saying is contrary to what other instruction I have seen, but when I saw you whip the club shaft with your arms, I was amazed and hooked into trying these concepts. Loading onto the outside ball of your rear foot works, I really feel a good natural push off doing that and it is completely different from what I have always thought I should be doing(very unsuccessfully). My right or rear hip/pelvis has very limited rotation especially outward probably from sitting with bad posture for thousands of hours and from swinging a golf club incorrectly, so these swing motions feel so much better. Also as I am 65 and looking to utilize my arms more to play good casual relaxing golf your using the biceps and not concentrating on keeping the left arm straight is literally golden advice. That is so different but works so well I am amazed. Thanks, I subscribed and I am going to check out your videos.
How on earth did you learn so much about the golf swing? Very impressive. Love the videos. I am in Texas but will fly out for a lesson in the fall... you have some gold here!
Luckily, I’m not very bright and I ask a lot of questions that require really smart people to explain. Been fortunate to absorb a few things along the journey. Look forward to seeing you in the fall!
Great information, really well presented and very clear. I have never seen the bicep arm drill shown before, mixed in with the rotation into the feet this is a great drill, thanks .
The timing ,magnitude and duration of these "action" forces has to be different for "Front Leg Pivot" (Al la Scottie Scheffler) , Center Pivot (Mr. Woods , Mr. Rose) and Rear Leg pivot (Gary Woodland, Greg Norman) golfers. It is a "loss leader" to discuss this w/o leg dominance or pivot type included.
The amount of pressure under the trail cuboid is the only relativity to the topic you are discussing. Therefore, it is a loss leader to talk about leg dominance and unloading if we don’t load the trail side first.
How much pressure you load into your trail side determines Mike Adams posting styles that you describe. Example, less than 80% would be considered lead side dominant or front post, 81-90% would be centered, and over 91% pressure in the trail leg would be considered trail leg dominant. What I am describing in this video is the mechanics of the skelton and muscles that act on the ground that create the pressure shift. Therefore, everyone has to do what I am describing in the video to apply pressure to their trail side, making it a universal for everyone and not the loss leader you claimed. Actually is a great video to help people learn how to apply pressure to the trail side, as most “front posters” actually are people that fail to create a proper pressure shift. All the best.
Hello, in one of your older videos on pressure shifts, you mention loading the first metatarsal to generate torque, while this one mentions the cuboid, which is the outer foot. . Do you mind explaining this a little more? Thanks
We use different parts of the food during different times while swinging the club. If you look into the lines of action in the feet that will do a good job of clarifying. Thanks.
Hi from Ireland. This video has helped a lot. While playing around with ground forces(no plates) I started loading the right side by moving my weight like u were going to hit some one with your shoulder to your right. Some good results picked up some yards. Then by accident through experimenting, instead of just moving my weight right I started pushing off my left foot. The following happened. My weight moved right but immediately my right foot pushed back left and rotated on its own. This increased my distance by easily 15-20 yards with little efford. What do you think?
During the backswing, we are in the loading phase of the motion. With that said, we load the trail side by contracting the right spiral line of the anatomy around the bones that make up the trail leg and then further up the chain. I think anytime we try to load using the lead side for assistance, we tend to cross load the body which throws off the sequencing a lot. Would keep it simple and try to push away from the ground with the trail leg to start the backswing. We don’t want to create too much sway and lose low point control. Enjoy the Emerald Isle for me! All the best.
That backswing approach contradicts a different video of yours that has the student squatting first into his hip, glute and heel (in order to engage the glutes you need be more in the heels - right?) then rotate the torso as opposed to being more on balls of the feet in the Is video?
I would never intentionally have someone squat into their trail hip. If the trail hip turns around the spine in the backswing, then it must go up from its starting position, not down. Also, being on the trail heel engages the back of the leg, which is for stability and not dynamic movement. This is why most people get stuck behind the ball in transition and are unable to push from the heel. The trial cuboid is the correct spot to load the trail spiral line. Great question, and something that can be quite confusing when looking at video and not force plate data or motion capture. All the best.
Can you walk through the load into the right through twisting counterclockwise into the ground vs some videos of yours where you lunge into tge right and deep into the hip?
You can Google the “Meyer’s spiral lines” and that should help understand the concept. I also would never recommend moving deep into the hip as that tends to move the hip away from the ball which moves our upper body towards the ball and doesn’t allow for rotation of the spine. We want the hip to stay in place and twist. All the best.
ok, you win. did the drill two ways 1) with my old interaction and load pattern and then 2) focused on really turning into the ground. its night and day. then took a club using the same forces and realized in a backswing how much more i could turn my upper body with so much less tension. eye opening. this was also the missing link to my efforts to understand pete cowens staircase. i think in one of your other videos you also talk about extending the right arm to the ball through pressure. need to find that one again. cheers
How do people like Clay Ballard swing 111 mph sitting in a chair if it is all about ground forces that would mean about 8 mph comes from hips and ground? Thank you for any insights and explanation?
The person sitting in the chair stays firmly planted in the chair. In this case, they are pushing their hips against the chair against the ground. Ground Forces don’t create energy we use to hit, they create the energy we use to stabilize the lower body to create maximum leverage with our upper body. All the best.
I hadn’t until I just googled them. It isn’t about a system, it is about understanding that the human is composed of certain pieces and they can only move relative to the piece they are attached to. Happy to see more people trying to understand and not just recreate the wheel. All the best.
So we are trying to turn around the balls of our feet. But when the club is at P2 and we can say that’s parallel to the ground. At that point our pressure is moving to the ball of the left foot. For right handed golfer. At the top of the swing, but their is no top, the downswing is starting and the left foot pressure is moving now to the outside of the left foot as the hips are moving to get out of the way of the club path. Is this correct.? The width of are swing is also causing that speed like drill with the alignment stick.
Hips are like trees and they don’t sway, they twist. Trying to get the hips out of the way tends to be the biggest reason golfers can’t make torque against the ground.

The golf swing is like a puzzle and you found a new piece for me. Thank you and keep it up 👍

@@measuredgolf where do I imply that the trail side should not be loaded first. ?

Anytime you can apply some Pete Cowen to your golf swing, good things tend to happen. All the best.

If one was going to come see you in person, what package would one choose to get an analysis to increase club head speed?
Slightly confused by the package question as we don’t offer packages, but a coaching experience would be a great place to start.
This seems to fit in well with GOATA, it sounds like you know about them?
