  • In this video I will be answering the question that I get from soooo many of my students and surprisingly I haven't heard many coaches talking about the real reason behind it..
    I am also sharing 2 drills that can give you a good feel for what needs to happen in order for you to keep your lead arm straight with relative ease!

    This video is awesome! I’ve taken lessons and watched a ton of golf videos and no one has covered this issue with this level of explanation. You are the man, keep up the great work.

    These are some of the best drills I have seen to deal with some difficult issues that a large number of golfers have.

    A great instructor. Very basic and thus very helpful. A head above other instructors. You get to the actual fundamental problems. Keep up the good work!

    Wow, up until now I could feel my elbows bending in the back swing. This technique completely eliminated both issues and I can't believe no-one else demonstrates this - like you do. So glad to find the video.

    Every time I feel my swing starting to slip, I come back to your channel and watch your videos. You have a way of explaining swing techniques that are easy to understand and I can take out on the course. Thank you for the great content!

    Since I retired in 2019 I’ve been dedicating myself to improving my golf game. Towards that end I’ve watch hundreds of videos on TH-cam, practiced what I’ve seen and played golf without consistent improvement. Starting in march 2023 I came across your videos and they are, in my opinion, the best ones on TH-cam. You explain everything in an easy to understand manner and walk through all the steps for a good swing and also the most common errrors. The videos have helped me tremendously. Best golf teacher and golf instructor on TH-cam. Keep up the great work Jonathan.

    • @TomOnTheRun
      @TomOnTheRun ปีที่แล้ว

      I completely agree. JKM is addressing all of my swing issues and explains easy to do drills to change my swing. His TH-cam instructional content is the best I've seen.

  • @kenroberts3711
    @kenroberts3711 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    JKM Yours is one of the best instruction sites I've come across. Great information in every video explained and demonstrated in easy to follow steps allowing you to recognise some of the things you aren't really too aware of but definitely need to check. Brilliant drills to practice at home while we all wait to get back on to the course again. Thanks so much and keep it up

  • @anthonymich5184
    @anthonymich5184 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This was so helpful. It felt so unintuitive and I always felt like I was fighting that arm to get depth and consistent strike point. My next time out after watching this I absolutely drilled the ball on the range.

    You have fixed this major flaw with simple instruction and drill

  • @ibarbadillo123
    @ibarbadillo123 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks Jonathan for that Punch drill…that makes sense for a better rotation in the backswing which ultimately causes a better follow through the ball. Appreciate your help … love your channel … keep it up.

  • @MikeHatzilias
    @MikeHatzilias 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Can't thank you enough for this video. Was content with the thought of my lack of rotation was age related. Nope, was just doing it all wrong. Buttons and buckle!👍

  • @tedlessthan3
    @tedlessthan3 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wow, for so long I’ve wondered what was wrong with my swing, when I do a decent job of keeping my arms straight and rotating. No other video demonstrated the low hands on the rotation issue until yours and it’s exactly what I do. Looking forward to hitting the range and working on my rotations to be more upward.

  • @MPerski
    @MPerski 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    ELBOWS IN! 👍🏻
    Great advice, pretty much THROUGHOUT the swing … setup, backswing, downswing, impact, followthrough, etc.
    Also, maintaining your arms structure (straight arms) is critical to maximize swing arc.
    Keep up the good work, Jonathan 👏🏻

  • @dr.danamplifiers1753
    @dr.danamplifiers1753 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have taken the whole winter of 23 and 24 to work on my golf swing and I am suffering with extension through impact, I can keep the arms straight just past the ball, but when I start to release I have ever so slight of a chicken wing in my left arm as a right handed player.I am going to try this drill today in the track man. My sequencing has been off for 36 years and it’s hard to retrain but this makes perfect sense many thanks.

    I really like your word choice; you're not trying to reiterate overused terms that instructors perpetually throw at students, but really do a masterful job at anticipating follow on dilemmas.
    Well done man- I'll be following your videos from here out.

  • @jackludwig912
    @jackludwig912 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Everyone of your instructional videos have been very beneficial to my game. I am very happy I found you and I look forward to each new video you put out each week. I highly anyone just beginning with golf or struggling with their game they watch your videos carefully and take the time to learn them and adopt them into your routine. If you listen carefully and practice the routines, your ball striking and your game should show improvement.I have been watching for about a month and I have already seen about a five stroke improvement in my game.

    Jonathan, I can't thank you enough for this video. I was a 5 handicap golfer before I took up bodybuilding years ago and the size I have gained particularly across my upper body, has caused exactly what you describe here. My swing is literally half of what it should be. I have been working on my flexibility will start using these drills tomorrow to aid in getting my body to rotate correctly again.
    Thank you for a simple to understand lesson.

Thanks a ton! and keep up the great work =) (ps- i'll probably be contacting you for your swing analysis and coaching soon. Trying to take golf a little more serious and this seems like a good start)

    But having seen this video, it totally made sense! This explains a lot..
    Will try this method, hopefully I will corrected my follow through.. thank you so much!

    @jerryr8935 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for this video. First time I tried this "left arm punch" I found that I could indeed keep my left arm straight. I am a 71 year old man and I work on my hip and shoulder flexibility several times per week. I did not think that I had the flexibility to keep my left arm straight, however doing the "punch" showed me that I could. Doing the punch seems to force a better shoulder turn. I am trying to do the punch now with every swing and so far has added yards to all my shots. This is a simple concept and keeping things simple is always better in golf.
