I've been studying the golf swing for over 2 year's now, I'm a personal trainer and consider myself athletic and I've been stumped on perfecting the golf swing. I've watched 100's and 100's of youtube video's and all the information out there was just making it more confusing than ever! I come across your chanel and thought it would just be like everything else out there but mate i was blown away with how easy you made it! I knew there was a simple solution and you hit the nail on the head! A big thank you for making golf enjoyable for I'm sure a lot of struggling player's.
Scott Darby Scott watch Mike Austin Fan videos too, Mike Austin studied Kinesiology for two years he taught Ben Hogan after his accident enabling Ben to be better.
Michael, I've used this setup for a long time and recently lost my swing. For the life of me I couldn't figure it out so I started looking at videos of other coaches. Until I did I wasn't aware that this tilt fits with Austin's teachings but he over complicates it. I also looked at c motion has some similarities but Lee doesn't really provide much detail from what I have seen. Your platform along with your clear breakdowns of what you are doing in each method is outstanding. In working on the drills of this video I found that I was over swinging and getting past my heel line with my back swing. These simple drills are helping me get back to hitting the ball as straight and working as before. The fact that it doesn't take a ton of time to ingrain these movements is great. It's improved my swing through an improved hand path and swing without having to over rotate. For me the 45s really tells the story of how little you need to do in order to send the ball where you want it to go. Well 👍 done.
Maybe 3 minutes of work, but an encyclopedic wealth of knowledge within those 3 minutes. I'm headed to my backyard now with club in hand.... Thanks, Michael. Skip
Michael, I really appreciate you sharing this knowledge. I have admired Lee's swing for a long time, but it was hard to understand what Lee was trying to say. You make it all so simple and I'm enjoying all your videos, also I'm looking forward to your progress.
Fantastic stuff. Enjoyed it as usual. Aside from top quality Intel that you make available to your audience but its abundantly clear you have a talent for your poised manner in your delivery. I'm quite sure, that you'll agree that in present existence are swing theory that are employed by professional and or high level amateur with a return to present described that should and does compel the masses to overhaul their motion to emulate the swing and hopefully in kind the returned success. But where it becomes painfully anguishingly obvious that you part company is that the party whom is the principle whom conveys the methodologies to wishful initiates does so in a manner which understanding is either a function of my personal ineptitude, not a unlikely occurance if you polled my sphere of influence, or a anemic effort on the teaching principle,or....both. Breath of fresh air for simplicity. Bravo! Oh please forgive the following my hopes are that you receive my upcoming council understanding it is offerred with the utmost sincerely. Can you think about investing in an upgrade to your golf attire? Allow me to clarify I am not suggesting you try to appear like you are hopping onto the back nine fresh off the runway from a fashion shoot or for your appearance to be ditto facsimile of a "hoyty toyty" private club that I'm sure you have in your local locale. But the socks with sandals look with denim shorts and, it shouldn't bother me but it does...your double gloves man...its killin' me! Denim and shorts should never ever be less than mutually exclusive and 2 gloves is almost as tacky as two chains...almost. ...jus' sayin'. Maybe that ia part of your persona showing up to the first tee looking for a nickel Nassau. Believe me I would rush to take that match if I saw the guy 2 glovin' it ans I would be probably be regretting it on the back nine pressin' for it all on the 16th, 17th, or the last, huh?(smile) SERGIO
Sergio Santos I love it Sergio I'll try and step up my sartorial splendor for you! Beware though I show up to the first tee with a rusty wedge as well.
michael, i've always tried to relate the golf swing to baseball, hockey, using an ax or hammer, things we've done almost instinctively and i think you figured it out. it's snowing here right now but can't wait to really try it out. your motion is the way i've always thought fred couples looked with the high flying right elbow creating leverage, what do you think. thnx so much for the info.
@@steveperry1344 I just studied and figured out what worked by 2.5 yrs of trial and error. I can get someone to understand it in 5 to 10 mins in person. Online its much harder.
@@michaelbroderick i think when it goes bad for me is when i move the body too much and too soon instead of letting the body respond to the hand arm club lever action.
Michael the content is excellent. I would like to ask just one quick question at the start of the takeaway what is the body movement as you start to take the club back. Let me say thank you for taking your time to do this it's excellent information
Howie Karasick you literally just folf you're arm up. As if making a hitchhiking motion into your right ear. The right leg feels like a kickstand just supporting the motion. Try it you're body will still move. It reacts to the motion of the arms.
Hi - Good stuff. At the top of the back swing, is your right palm facing up….like a waiter holding a tray? Do we want the right palm up at the top? Thanks
Hi Mike I know it’s an old video but I’m learning this swing currently. Do you axe down towards lead or back foot? I’m having issues keeping tilt and hitting ground consistently, this is the first video I’ve seen you say tilt your head so I’ll try this next time
I axe down towards the front foot. There are however a handful of students who took a lot of pga lessons who do better axing towards the right foot. It fools them into a delayed release of all things. It is not the norm so front foot first.
@@michaelbroderick I also sometimes feel like my trail elbow gets stuck behind my hip. Is this why we need to hit out at the ball? Do you recommend a certain drill for this? Thanks again
Michael great video and explanation of your swing. When video first started it looked like your ball position was back of center and I’ve always been told to keep it in front of center and a few inches behind my forward legs heel. Any thoughts on ball position?
This breaks the golf swing down simple I also use a ten finger grip just got one question as far as grip pressure medium light and the swing also thanks
I'll have to do a zep for you Rick. Maybe a foresight if I can get on one. I'll show you my long drive technique after I finish my next qualifier tomorrow! I should be able to do a video next week on one last piece of the puzzle that has to do with setup and your eyes as we wind the channel down. I've been really just working on my scoring and game this spring.
I would love those sort of speeds i think i read somewhere that Mike Dunaway was clocked at 131 with a fairly normal driver of 46 inches. I think it is the quality of the strike as well on the up stroke also that counts for distance, and he also used the smaller head as well then which was hard, i had a go with my old yonex titanium driver the other day and is good practise you have to get them dead middle to go well and mine has a 44 inch shaft so is a bit easier to control than his. I like the video with him and Mike Austin i am not sure if his driver was titanium then even and he stuck one out 360 yrds it may have used the softer ball back then as well.
Paul Lowe I choke up to 43 often. I very often go over 350 that way. Improved contact and it still flies long. Many of the pro's use shorter shafts. I recommend it. One thing we do differently though is tee the ball lower. Since we play it only a ball left of Saggital I believe the distance is aided by center contact as well as the shaft kick.
Ok Thanks again for the reply! Yes i am choking down a little now, but will need to build up my speed and confidence again. Because i had slowed it right down with the woods over the last 3 years, because i use to over pivot sometimes with the Mike Austin swing and hit some snap hooks. With your method with the slight closed stance they go very striaght, i get a few slight slices with the irons sometimes but i am still learning it but is coming along ok with not much effort with the swing so far. I use the modern swing before the MA swing but hurt my back that way so i searched for a new aid. Thanks!! again for your help and concern is much appreciated and All the Best!!
I don't want to be too critical, but.... It's easy to accelerate a club shaft very fast. Not so easy to get the club head moving fast and get it to square up in order to hit a straight shot. Your swing looks like it would product a big slice.
azcharlie2009, i watched Michael's beginner video Friday and yesterday i hit iron shots that blew my friends away. I got a lot of strange looks, I hit my 7i 170 and perhaps more on two occasions and rocked a 5i 190 to an elevated green. His mehod works.
Works for all planes. You see what I found when learning that a backswing doesn't mean a gosh darn thing. If you get to the top and learn how to swing around a stable neck you'll hit the same low point each and every single time. The ball just getting in the way. It stopped my years of frustration on following such single and 2 plane swings and all the rest of the mantra. In short I got better. I was able to break par and hit distances equal and better than the top one percent of golfers. All I do on this channel is offer how I did that. Hopefully it will help others enjoy this silly game as much as I do.
To say you swing the driver at 120-130 mph is irritatingly inaccurate, 210 yard 7 iron, I find it disappointing that you you tube guys have to lie about your speed and distances, I guess you figure nobody would watch if you only swung at 90 mph
@@michaelbroderick I would love to be proved wrong,I would make it a point to promote the fact that I called you out and was proved wrong, where are you located? I will come see you for a lesson,pay for the lesson and post the results , I hope I'm wrong because there is so many things I like about what you are saying, just having a hard time digesting the 120-130 mph swing speed, 120-130 ball speed maybe,let me know, I am always pleasantly surprised when proven wrong

First time to your channel. Like your videos. Just wondering which videos to watch in order to get this swing down? Thanks
Watch any 5. The themes repeat. MBA series can help.
I may out the most popular in a Playlist this week.
Hey Michael, I'm catching up with your videos...love them. Do you recommend a 10 finger grip?
Yes, with a small small gap between the hands.

Center...one ball back irons..one ball up driver...
Hello Micheal. Which videos discuss following the shoulder and cracking the whip? Not getting it. Don’t see what your doing in each. Thanks.
