I love this for I was always thought to keep my lead arm on my chest. Will definitely try this for always grabbed the club and moved too quick from the top.
@@tsgolf Been trying this and great results. Do you have a video that concentrates on smooth transition? I tend to snatch from the top in rush to hit the ball and when trying this and letting gravity control transition, I am making great contact. Thanks for all your content. Will get my friends to check you out.
i watched acouple videos of yours before this one. this drill already has my awareness of where i should be at all these check points. i also watched your video with eric, great video. all of it is great stuff.
Really appreciate the comment and feedback here! Means a lot!!! If you ever need anything or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out! 🙏🙏🙏
I do off online coaching! I’ll attach a link to setup a consultation call below. Would be happy to help you out! calendly.com/trevorsalzmangolf/free-15-minute-consultation Thanks for reaching out!
Good job, you are like Milo, same style of swings. For me, as a senior, it is helping tremendously with more consistent on shots. Your teachings always seem to be easily comprehensible and practice. I enjoy your joint sessions with other teaching professionals. Always enjoy!
Im going to be the guy at the driving range getting weird looks for having a ballon down his shirt :). Seriously though love these unique drills and feels my man
Haha! You’ll likely get a look or two! I’m fine with looking odd if it gets me and players I help better!! Thanks you much and let me know if you need anything! 👊👊👊
@@tsgolf one thing I’d love to see on TH-cam is a TS lesson on lag putting and another on the makeable range. I know putting vids probably aren’t as popular but I am imagining your take is quite different to the standard stuff. Just a suggestion cheers
I’d marinating the same spine position (imagine the chest direction being parallel to the swing plane of the club you are using). The other thing I’m okay with for wedges is adding more ground pressure via knee flex
TS, First of all, I love what you are doing. You have great information and are relatable. I’ve watched these two videos and can see what you are talking about. I think it is all a byproduct of applying the “hit” at the wrong time. The posture can trigger for sure and lead arm for sure, but I’m also assuming that the next video will be a how hitting too early or rotating the trail arm will get you in trouble :))). How do I know this? That’s my kryptonite. At the end of the day, what I have learned from my own swing journey, is that if I apply forces too early in transition before my body and arms re-sync (probably not a word), then my rotators (hips/tspine) have to turn into stabilizers and therefore “stall”. However, if I am just a bit more patient in transition I give more time to pressure shift AND allow for rotation to begin before loading the trunk (in a reactive way) I have easy and free speed . Once you get to impact the rotation again turns into stability to safely decelerate the body. I’ve seen other videos of your that make it clear you know this. Anything out of sequence causes abnormal stability patterns which are like wrenches in a gear box. I like to be so smooth that my hands almost feel late into impact or even better almost surprised by impact. We can be smooth and fast, but you can’t have bad stability patterns and be smooth or fast. Thought I’d share in case someone finds it helpful :) Alan
Thanks for sharing Alan! Greatly appreciate the feedback and info here and taking the time to write this! I agree knowing when to accelerate and more importantly decelerate is huge!!! The other key to the transition is know WHAT is starting firstly to move the club down (I like to see trail arm/ shoulder beating the hands so that the hands have to become the stability force on the grip). Let me know if that makes sense and thanks so much for the comment, feedback and support! If you ever need anything, please do let me know! TS
I love that. We know the best players accelerate their hands from the top but the arm has to be in position to support the hands. You can accelerate the hands by moving just about anything (that’s where the biomechanics has to meet the art). I think what you are saying makes perfect sense. I’m going to play with that a bit. Keep up the good work. I like seeing you young guys killin’ it. So fun to watch. Alan
Great topic! Do you feel the arms independently moving out or is the chest / arm abduction across the chest what moves the arms? If the arms only hit the upper chest it should not touch the balloon
So this is more so as feel for not pulling the left arm straight down pressure wise on the downswing (where the lead shoulder externally rotated and the arm gets pinned pulling down). There are a lot of ways that the arms can start down I’d say. I have players that the arms fall without pulling (from an internally rotated shoulder), there are players when the pelvis goes into flexion and the chest works down that moves the arms, and there are players who feel the trail arm starts to lengthen as the lead side of the pelvis works around, etc. Lots of ways to look at it! I personally like the chest and starting the initial arm movements in transition naturally while keeping width and then firing trail arm/ trail side through around P5.5-P6. Let me know if that makes sense and I’d be happy to chat with you more about it if you’d like! Thanks for the comment and question! TS
Would you suggest changing my swing if I early extend but am playing my best golf while using the early extension. I’m hitting the ball really high and far and pretty straight but it looks awful. I hate watching it on camera but im scoring good.
If you are scoring well and hitting the shots you want to hit then I wouldn’t change it. Phil Mickelson is a pretty good player who early extends! Only change what is going to have a direct impact on what contact and the ball is going to do!
Holy crap....that's my swing. I 100% see my bicep at p5. I actively pull with my left arm to try and take my right arm out of my swing (rt handed golfer).
Lol! Foreel man?! You are actually recommending we go out in public feeling like a deranged Sigourney weaver with an alien bursting out of our chest?? With bad gas??Foreelz?? This has to be some kinda publicity stunt lol.... But i got a serious request. Can you possibly develop a feel for athletic swingers wity baseball backgrounds who just love the feel of swinging hard from the top? I think there are a lot of folks that know how to sync things up by going slower, but we naturally do not enjoy that feeling and regress back to trying to sync things up at fast clip. Ive heard various pros over the years talk about feeling like there swinging backwards away from the target. I think sergio famously said he feels like hes pulling a cord backwards. And they say they do this hard. I find it works amazing esp when i feel like im slapping it to centerfield but curious to hear your thoughts.
There are always ways to sync things up! If you want to be a hard swinger from the top, the ground will be to be very controlled (gripping the ground with the feet from a stability standpoint). You’ll also need to be able to feel more speed from the trail arm and side than the lead side (lead side can pull away from trail which shortens the radius and causes contact issues etc). Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything or have any questions!
@@tsgolf awesome thanks man. I think I'm with ya. When I'm feeling my best i totally have a right/trail arm uppercut to jaw feel. Which produces lots of trail side bend away from target (which i guess is good your saying??) I think it's a great feel and even saw it in one of Gary Players old cartoons which gave me some serious confirmation i was not expecting. But when I miss they are those big scary pulls. I'm finding the key to avoid is what feels like massive side bend over the ball on way to impact.
If you aren’t going to practice, it’ll likely be tougher. I’d say to pull the trail leg back back behind you and learn how to internally rotate the trail hip (quad to the target without anything going towards the ball)
I completely understand that. I have unfortunately had skin cancer on face that required surgery multiple times which is why I have decided to have longer hair (covers up my ears and neck more). I do understand it isn’t the most professional. Hope that makes sense and I do appreciate you watching and appreciate the comments and support.

Can you do a video for people who DON'T extend at all? Not sure why both of my legs are bent even after impact.
For sure! I’ll definitely add that to my list!!! Thank you!

I understand the drill but I gotta let ya know. It’s BICEP not BICEPT 😂 aside from that I’m gonna give this one a shot!
Man when I rewatched this after it was posted I laughed my ass off. Thankfully I’m not teaching English lessons! 😂😂😂
No wonder some iron-male players have such pure swings... But I wonder how this tip came about lucky man.
Glad it makes sense and I hope it helps!
Another great vid, but this one is a lot less intuitive than the first. Its going to take a lot of work to fix :)
Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions on it!
Can't I just use my belly?😊
Haha! Sure thing!
I wanted to believe you but your hair doesn’t let me believe anything you’re saying lol
Haha! Love it! I’d agree the length of hair relates to knowledge base! Haircut coming up 😂
Everyone thinks they're a comedian
Some Woman have 2 ballon’s there so it should be easier for them to practice this drill
That is true. Not sure how else to respond to this though.
