I've been playing for 64 years and have taken lessons from three or four teaching pros. Never have I heard or seen this so well put. This is true for Jonathan's other videos as well.
Again just an amazing lesson. I learn something new from each lesson. I’ve only been playing for 2 yrs, I’m 58 and I’m consistently shooting in the low 80s playing once a week. You are the best TH-cam teacher imo and I wish you great success!
Your clear explanations coupled with your demonstrations are so stinkin’ scientifically and physics sound, you add a unique dimension to your presentations that elevate you to the top of all instructors. You can actually DO what you coach others to do-you should be coaching the greats, like, Tiger, Rory, etc. Actually, you should be competing against them on tour. 😉
This backswing sequence is gold! Thanks for keeping it simple. I put the change in place today and shot 3 over. Without these changes I was inconsistent.
That last drill. Wow. Surely you can just swing like that! Such a great feels on proper wrist flex and top of backswing position. Brilliant. Soooooo good. Thank you very much.
Amazing step by step description and easy to follow guide on the swing, enjoying these videos and implementing your methods to my swing man, many thanks!
best tip ever....I always wondered about the position of my hands in the back swing because it clearly has a profound affect on the clubface....took this to the range and my ball striking was like I have never seen before....couple of points.... I notice how low your lead arm has to stay in order to get the club angle through the lower bicep it almost feels like you become a single plane swing. Secondly, can I assume this is the same position for 5 wood to driver? Thanks
Two questions: When you perform drill 2, as you rotate the arms the left arm moves away from the chest- is this the correct feeling during the real swing? When you say the hands rotate around the body, are you actively moving them around or do you swing more straight back and they go around with body rotation? If you actively swing around the body it seems the left arm gets too close to the chest. Thanks-Great video.
I saw a version of this drill from Sir Nick Faldo but I think he references a “takeaway drill” .Anyway, in my posture, i take the club up keep your hands/wrist where they are at address and then rotate wrist right club parallel with ground (wrist/arms don’t move in or away from chest) then I merely turn shoulders into a backswing . It was a real revolution for me in getting a correct takeaway/backswing feel
Jonathan, I think your videos are great a question about drill #2 . I’m following you all the way to step #3 turn the body - at this point it looks as though there is a considerable amount of wrist cocking as well as body turn . Can you please clear this up for me
From the start of the backswing the body should be making the majority of the movement. After the club reaches parallel to the ground the wrist and trail arm will start to bend in order to get the club head to move. The body is still moving at the same time
I would love to see a video or animation showing what just the club is doing without the person there. I think that would be very interesting to see. Kind of a ghost golfer if you will
Do you have anything talking about early extension on the downswing? I need some more info on how I can keep my left side back on the initial "rear-end line" throughout the downswing.
It is definitely not just turning. However, moving your body correctly will make it easier to get the hands high without have to lift the arms too much.
not for the takeaway since the wrists and arms are positioned differently. That drill was to preset your wrists and arms specifically for a top position
Love your videos! I’ve heard you mention you do online lessons, but I wasn’t able to find a link to sign up. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks!
hi Jonathan, for the leading side, is it "leading" through the whole swing course and trial side keeps passive all the time? just trying to get the right feeling.
Try thinking about your right hand holding a waiters tray at top of backswing. This helps allow your right wrist to hinge and helps get left in right position. Cheers!

This really helped me swing my irons pure especially at around 1:40! It forces me to keep my elbow in during the downswing. Thanks man!!!

rewatched this. you are a great communicator, Jo. particularly loved the bit on the lower trail bicep as a checkpoint.
That last drill. Wow. Surely you can just swing like that! Such a great feels on proper wrist flex and top of backswing position. Brilliant. Soooooo good. Thank you very much.
You are the best online instructor I have ever seen. Thank you so much.
Really love you demonstrations and clear explanations! You are the best and are really helping me a lot. Thank you!
And this too - just works. Keep it up Jonathan and thanks! I’m in California and Manila I wish one day to take some lessons in SG
Amazing step by step description and easy to follow guide on the swing, enjoying these videos and implementing your methods to my swing man, many thanks!
Subscribed :) I really like the way you explain the mechanics in an easy to understand way.
Great video. At the end of this video is that as high as I should be taking the club in my backswing?
Great job explaining the proper positions. Thanks
I found your videos recently, been practicing S&T for a while, but I always learn something new from you everytime, thanks.
Thank you, I have been working on this as I recently found I am a roller.
Hey Jonathan thank you for making this video after I asked you the question about what to do after the takeaway. Great video my friend
Great explanation on the backswing. I really like your drills which match you backswing. Keep up the great work.
I am opleased that the videos are segmented in small concntrated subjects. The presentation is focused and clearly explained. Good job.
Thank you Jonathan - great golf teaching channel - !
This has been very helpful. Love your videos. Thank you!
Wow such useful information!! Thanks for the tips
I love the detail and thought that goes into each of your drills JKM.
Great lesson. Thanks!
Another Great lesson 👍
I will try this today! Thanks!!

Great Lesson, thank you.
Thanks for this. Im only a month old player and learning
Thanks for the video. Can you somehow explain the timing and the way of right elbow folding during the backswing? Thanks!
Amazing Kim! The best
Thanks Jonathan!
Very good. You are a new favorite of mine.
Wow excellent lesson. 👍
so clear and helpful. Never heard about rotating forearms. Just rotate more to get to the top?
Thanks for the advice 🤙🏼👍🏽👍🏽
great jonathan !!

Thanks . Very very helpful
Great explanation
I need a discussion on how. to complete the backswing after you get past the club shaft covering the bicept. thank you

Do you have anything talking about early extension on the downswing? I need some more info on how I can keep my left side back on the initial "rear-end line" throughout the downswing.
yes I made a video about "why you early extend" on my channel. Let me know what you think!
Great drills. Proper wrist hinge is a bit difficult-your method is easy to follow.
Wrist should happen naturally. :))
Last question- is there any deliberate lifting of the arms with your approach or just turning- if so are the hands staying reasonably low?
It is definitely not just turning. However, moving your body correctly will make it easier to get the hands high without have to lift the arms too much.
Good lesson
Jonathan, great video. Can’t the second drill also have value as a “takeaway drill”?
not for the takeaway since the wrists and arms are positioned differently. That drill was to preset your wrists and arms specifically for a top position
Good Stuff 👍
Love your videos! I’ve heard you mention you do online lessons, but I wasn’t able to find a link to sign up. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Hi Nick thanks so much. You can visit my website at www.jkmgolfacademy.com for details
@@JKMGolf Thanks! Maybe put that in the video descriptions to help people find you easier? Look forward to more from you!
hi Jonathan, for the leading side, is it "leading" through the whole swing course and trial side keeps passive all the time? just trying to get the right feeling.
What happens when you finish the backswing? Do you ever take it back any further? Thanks.
How did you make that club extension ?
Hello again.
I meant to ask why when I using your technique using the 8 iron the ball goes to high.
where do you get that item that attaches a stick to the end of the grip?
Is the drill where you hinge and turn club basically position P2?
How do you continue after you line up the Butt of the club to the target line?
Does anyone know where to buy the extension piece for the end of the grip? thanks
Can you show a drill to get the arms high at the top of the back swing
Hi why when using the 8 iron the ball goes very hay. Thanks
Dude your videos are dope, appreciate the help bro
JK clear and clean explanation and wonderful demonstration
Is this the same for driver ?
Do the wrists set naturally?
Good drill but my lead arm still bends and my lead wrist keeps cupping. Frustrated..
Try thinking about your right hand holding a waiters tray at top of backswing. This helps allow your right wrist to hinge and helps get left in right position. Cheers!
안녕하세요?
you never get to the top of the backswing. suggest you see jess frank snt
Normally a shank.
How many majors have you won chump
It's obvious that you are not teaching the golfing machine by Homer Kelley. Therefore I cannot support your videos
Can this work for the driver? Having the end of the club point on the inside?
