The great thing about your content is not only that you tell the truth about the golf swing but that it's understandable. I've seen many different golf coaches and they are probably sharing true things but they are not helpful or useful. You have a way of explaining it so that I get it. Thank you for that! True confessions, I never understood what you meant by moving the handle forward till now. I've actually been hitting the ball great so I didn't worry about it much. But here it makes perfect sense that the handle's motion is a response to arm lift or lack of it. Again, great job! As the greatest teacher of all said: The truth shall set you free...
I have been following for a while now and feel the need to finally comment. Your content is sooo good and the way you explain is spot on! Keep up the great work and thanks!
Love the detailed information and your concepts about the swing! It took a while at first to understand, but it’s starting to make sense! Love your way of teaching. Thanks for all the great content.
Looking for some clarity. Once the handle is moved forward. You show the handle dropping toward the body. Is the handle/hands moving in front of 10:58 the rear leg/forward leg?
@jessecooper9795 Exactly, the only youtube coach with a real recipie for how to exit left, get a forward divot, and get rid of early extension, no-one else addresses hand path
Thank you,Stuart, for your great instruction. At 76, I’m just not very good at golf although I can break 100. I’ve had lessons but never got to the point where I felt like I was working with my body rather than against it. Your foundational concepts have been an eye opener. I’ve already seen a leap in hitting my irons. Importantly, it doesn’t feel like I’m trying to learn a new swing or a fix, but rather a change that allows the whole to be greater than the sum of parts. After a decade of frustration, this is a cool feeling. There remain points of uncertainty for me, however. For example, in pulling the club - which I love - it has seemed like my hand should be moving out and towards sternum level, but when I look at your swing, it seems like the hands are coming more down, and the wrist hinge occurs at the hip’s belt loop. This video clears things up and is much appreciated. Also, what my body feels is not necessarily what I’m doing so that introduces some uncertainty. In addition, your attention to detail and technique is amazing - however, as a meatball player- I must work at not being consumed by swing thoughts. So it’s easy for me to allow myself to get jammed by all the information. Not a complaint. In my experience as a college athlete and as someone with expertise in another field , I assume that the more I review your material, the simpler things will become. It also occurs to me that I’ve been hit or miss with your videos - metaphor intended - so I’m going to work through your introductory videos. I hope you find these comments useful. Keep up the great work!
I’ve been trying the layed off position at the top then pull the handle but not had consistent success, now I’ve seen this video it makes much more sense. What an education..👍👍
Stu I spent hours on the range today pulling the handle forward towards to ball still early days but I started to hit the ball so much better and longer thank you
Hey Stuart…lowered the handle and bent over a bit more at set up flattened arm pitch and struck the ball well at the range..thanks…hope it works on the course tomorrow…your an inspiration my friend
Hi Stu, your video is so different from the rest and I learned a lot! I appreciate. May I know how do you make sure your spine is perpendicular to the club shaft at setting without seeing yourself?
Been swinging like this for years. Starting seeing coaches for past 3 years and they're trying to get me to drop the handle in the slot as they call it. Yet they also tell me how athletic my swing is. I have been striking the ball center club face only around 60% of the time with my normal swing like you show. That's why I started taking lessons and to make it look more like a pro. I don't fully extend after contact and have the chicken wing effect at times. I have a lot of similarities with some things you teach with releasing the club at contact and just past. Coaches also say I'm flipping it. Yet with some of the bad I'm told I should correct, at 67 years old I"m still hitting the ball as far as I did when I was in my 30's. Equipment may be better I guess, but I hit 8iron 150 if I want further. Driver 250 to 270. My biggest problem is consistency. I chalk that up to not being able to practice hitting 100 or more balls a day at my age without have issues. When I do play/practice 3 times/wk, I'm getting center hits for the most part. I'll give it more time with the coach I have now as he's working on things with me I know I should correct and can with time, like chicken wing and my trail elbow flying too high and over swinging. If I don't feel like it's working I'll be checking on you for help with your coaching style which seems to go along with some things I already have been doing most of my life.
Timely video. This goes hand in hand with the previous one on shallowing. The club and shaft around the shoulder height drill is awesome. Can’t stress enough how important the tip is about getting the posture and 90 degrees correct as well.
Hi Stuart, I was always aware your downswing philosophy is very different / quite specialist / quite quirky, very unique in fact. But having watched many of your videos, I’m absolutely convinced you have something new & innovative. Incidentally your video content value is rising. You’re becoming a much improved instructor. Your earlier videos were often too lengthy & sometimes over opinionated. But this video was really first class at explaining your downswing mechanics for this / your unique release pattern. David Leadbetter has shown with his move to introduce the A Swing (which I don’t like personally but clearly works for lots of people) you can swing the club in lots of different ways. Most amateurs like me, try & follow a certain pattern, often a more traditional pattern. The trend in the last 15 years or so has swing decisively towards a body release pattern. The problem with this pattern is that it has robbed many golfers of distance and freedom to allow the club to swing freely through impact. You see amateurs swing where the club head never releases never over takes the hands with the club face still facing the sky post impact but with a beautiful body rotation. The ball flies straight every time but most often not very far. This video I really do like Stuart because you start to use logic , physics relating it to the golf swing. I can now get why you advocate a really good backswing rotation, with such emphasis on a really strong hip rotation in the backswing. Your excellent focus on getting the grip and the posture & ball position just right. Your shaft angle at address cinsistent with bodt inclined angle / body address angle being at 90 degrees to the club & spine angle. All these things give you arm depth & a perfect on plane backswing. All brilliant teaching which everyone can benefit from regardless of downswing/ release philosophy. Everyone including you Stuart & many of the key board warriors (like me lol😂) have ti be very careful of the use of the word garbage (& & even stronger terms we won’t go there ). Especially before they understand things in context. What you have started to do is to now give context, do this in relation to doing this this. Then you see you have developed a new golf downswing pattern. No wonder the madding crown think your a nutter, it’s unconventional but it clearly works the numbers on track man don’t lie. What would help even more would be to do this exact same video but where you trace your downswing hand path from the top of your backswing, with a down the line camera view (from your camera view onto the screen ball to target line view with a shaft plane and a shoulder plane lines drawn on the screen. Does your hand actually break the Hogan shoulder plane line? How much of this our move with the hands connected with shoulder pivot / rotation versus independence of the have & arm path? I have no problem with your strong advice ti us golfers to bring the hands out towards the ball on the downswing. The key is how you do this in relation to the pull / movement downwards of the handle and in relation to the shaft plane. My understanding of your pattern is you like a shallow downswing where the hands move more outwards ti the ball. Most amateurs are totally fearful of doing this because they believe it would lead to shanking the ball. Everyone has to do this anyway in the traditional downswing it’s called shoulder rotation in a standard context. I think / guessing in your model the hands move out slightly more / independently of this standard shoulder rotation pattern model. I can now from this video understand why your model requires this slightly less conventional transition move. But I’m also thinking the reason you do this is directly related to the very very different release pattern. You employ the release from a very high hands position which gives you the opportunity to use the forces of gravity to smash down & through the ball by pulling down & inwards on the handle. This is TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO CONVENTIONAL GOLF SWING WISDOM. But I’m not saying it’s wrong. It’s different. Conventional wisdom gets you into a low hands delivery position at last parallel from where your hands move upwards and inwards. You’re coming from the pillar opposite direction. High hands moving DOWNWARDS & INWARDS TO RELEASE THE CLUB. In your model most of the shift of pressure has already taken place by the time you reach the top of your backswing. Your model is much more rotational (especially hip & shoulder) versus lateral shift. Your model is much more focused on forces applied to the handle. Stuart what you really must understand is how very different your movement from half way down (lead arm parallel) is to standard conventional golf swing philosophy. You’re different mate. But embrace it and explain this difference. The main difference falls in the area of hand path in the transition is much further out than traditional thinking. But this then is coupled with a really vital pull on the handle downwards and inwards / into your body. Coupled with a flap style release pattern not a traditional forearm rotation pattern. Again absolutely nothing wrong with this pattern many great golfers have adopted this pattern like Fred Couples etc. This has the advantage of your club face following the natural out to square to inward arc of the golf swing. Where the club face stays square ti the arc of the swing. This is all my interpretation of what you’re teaching. I might be entirely wrong. Myles
Hi Stuart, sorry I did you a disservice. I just replayed your video and the penny had finally dropped. 😊 it’s clear ti me now your unconventional way of describing the golf swing has a degree of genius about it. But I’m now clear you are in fact describing the conventional / modern golf swing. It’s not some cranky “A swing” / not some completely different model. Just a completely fresh and innovative way of getting ideas across. Myles
.....awesome video Stu......man I would love to see a good round table / debate with a handful of the top online golf instructors about the golf swing. Of course my money would be on you comming out on top......but the discussion would be priceless......thanks alot Stu! ⛳🍺
......hey Stu, I hate to bother you with this, but, people are coming up to me on the range and trying to console me...... I'm hitting balls with tears rolling down my cheeks.....but I'm telling them, everything is ok, I use to live in a dark "garbage" filled world, but now I have redeemed myself and have found the glory of the simple golf swing.....thanks again 😁⛳🍺🍺🍺
Great video again! Any plans to do short game videos? I’m wondering if your technique differs from what’s generally taught, if there’s any new revelations you can let us in on 😊 Have a great weekend!
Stu - I really get a kick out of reading the comments, especially the nonbelievers. I watch you hit the ball and before it registers on the screen you have told use the shot shape, it absolutely astounds me, anyone that can hit ball after ball and correctly how he wants must know what he is talking about. Thanks for every video and thought for us to improve and this sport.
Hey Tony, lovely to hear from you my friend and your words of encouragement are gratefully received my friend, they really are. There will always be non-believers, thats OK, we are all on our journey in this game and when then are ready they'll perhaps hear me. Thanks so much for being here and hope you had a lovely weekend. Best wishes Stu
Here’s the challenge in golf instruction. There is so much feel vs real that also is individual. This content is amazing. The challenge is that you are teaching the forces and the feel that creates a “real” look (which is also misleading when in 2d). We are so used to looking at the results of the forces in 2d most people don’t realize that there is an original force that creates the reaction. This is why some call it the “invisible” swing. Keep doing your thing. It is very helpful for a lot of people. Thanks, Alan
It sure is a challenge, but with "will" there is a "way" and I hope I give people that opportunity to learn and improve. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Thanks for the shout out Stuart 😊 I had a feeling this video was for me when I started watching it. Will be working on this all weekend (and nothing else 😅) Appreciate your fabulous content as always - the best on TH-cam by far!
Hey there, really happy you enjoyed. I’m based in Surrey and you can access my online diary via the link in the description and I offer online lessons on Skillest. Best wishes Stu
Hey Ron, please please check out my “Broom Series” playlist. Will make so much sense and put more context to this video ! Please let me know how that goes for you. Best wishes Stu
Thanks Stu. I'm gonna hit some balls tonight and really work on the posture. It's almost there but seeing your excellent angles I can see I need to make some adjustments 👏👏
You can always challenge any concept, theory etc… But this club is designed, yes designed to hit the ball like this. The club is not centered on the shaft. If your angular on downswing the golf club rotates AUTOMATICALLY. YOU CAN SWING A CLUB THAT iS LOOSE (CAN SPIN AT THE HEAD ) AND CLUB WILL LINE UP. MORE STEEP LESS “Ryke effect” more you have to flip. Older clubs , better swingers, much flatter lies. I’m not a pro, but this is dead on. Thx u stewart
Stu, u mind addressing one question. On the down swing pull , out to ball, the club head would go “0ff” a Explanar or hit the top off a chiliwhackwer , plane stick or whatever? I still understand club path corrects with impact move, posture etc. driving me nuts I keep getting club out. Thx u
I think your model is best for using natural forces. However, I have problems with the huge transition between the pull and downward push of the hands. Feels very jerky and discontinuous.
To the heck with the body parts. I'm trying to understand which forward? The forward you are facing while standing sideways to the direction of your target or the other forward, the one you'd like the ball to travel in?
Math and science don’t lie. These two subjects are in my wheelhouse, but you don’t have to understand them or even like them, but you must respect them. I’m sure the keyboard warriors will be screaming. 😂 Cheers.
Feel vs real. As a left-hand dominant, learning to play right handed, my feel was complete opposite. I needed to feel my arms drop. The pull forward was overdone by my left hand dominance. I would like to see one of these TH-cam instructors turn around and swing left handed. All of the knowledge won't make you a good golfer. You have to first have the knowledge then train it, 10,000 hours, 1,000,000 balls.
There you are Steve - me hitting left hand Left Handed Shots! #golf #improveyourgolf #golfadvice #simplegolftips #golftips #golfers #mygolftip th-cam.com/users/shorts_gPrNwa4luA?feature=share
Surely not ..too much down before the pull forward... hits the ground behind the ball every time ....if your posture is correct the video clearly shows that
@grahammurray6785 Fair point, but he didn't say "before". I believe he's meaning relevant to moving forward and down at the same time (diagonally down in a forward direction). Reread in this context and his point Is sound.
@jonnyincognito899 I suggest one thing ...book a lesson with Stu..and you will understand better just what he is talking about ..but you need the grip posture lift and turn all to be working together its easier to be shown face to face ..but he does bloody well to get all those things across in multi videos ...and getting people to understand the concept ...book a lesson you will change your golf forever...cheers GM
Sadly i'm not a quick fix/tip guy my friend, so you'll have to put up with my explanations, no problem if they frustrate, plenty of channels with accommodate your short patience. Best wishes Stu
So much conflicting information against general teaching, is unbelievable. Here we have Mike Malaska saying you should tilt the club, Padriagh Harrington wouldn't even concern himself with this rubbish, these conflicting ideas never stop, no wonder golfers are so messed up.
There’s not one correct way to swing a golf club. Our minds and bodies are all wired differently. Personally, I like Padraig, AMG, Porzak, and Alex Moore. Alex Moore said recently that the goal for golfers should be to master all the positions in the golf swing, so that eventually you can drop all mechanical swing thoughts and just visualize your shots and be an athlete and play golf on the course instead of “golf swing”. That resonated with me. Find a coach whose personality and philosophy clicks with you. It’s like finding a meditation teacher or a girlfriend. When it clicks, it should be obvious.
I agree with Brian, we are all different but these lessons are good for me to understand what the hands and arms are doing, after all your hand path dictates where the club head goes. the handle is so important. not to say all the rest of isn't important, posture covering the ball and left hip out of the way. it's complicated. but I feel these videos help me understand what is/should be going on. keep up the good work.
The great thing about your content is not only that you tell the truth about the golf swing but that it's understandable. I've seen many different golf coaches and they are probably sharing true things but they are not helpful or useful. You have a way of explaining it so that I get it. Thank you for that! True confessions, I never understood what you meant by moving the handle forward till now. I've actually been hitting the ball great so I didn't worry about it much.

Bless you Craig, so happy you gained some more clarity from this video. Enjoy golf, and let’s be happy in our down time. Best wishes my friend. Stu 😊

Thank you,Stuart, for your great instruction. At 76, I’m just not very good at golf although I can break 100. I’ve had lessons but never got to the point where I felt like I was working with my body rather than against it. Your foundational concepts have been an eye opener.

We are so used to looking at the results of the forces in 2d most people don’t realize that there is an original force that creates the reaction. This is why some call it the “invisible” swing.
Keep doing your thing. It is very helpful for a lot of people.
Thanks,
Alan
It sure is a challenge, but with "will" there is a "way" and I hope I give people that opportunity to learn and improve. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Thanks for the shout out Stuart 😊 I had a feeling this video was for me when I started watching it. Will be working on this all weekend (and nothing else 😅) Appreciate your fabulous content as always - the best on TH-cam by far!
Haha thank you for the inspiration Manoj! Let me know how the practice goes and enjoy your fabulous trip away 😊
really good video this ! where are you based to ? would love to come in for a lesson !
Hey there, really happy you enjoyed. I’m based in Surrey and you can access my online diary via the link in the description and I offer online lessons on Skillest. Best wishes Stu
Eager to work on this move…I’m confused but I like it!
Hey Ron, please please check out my “Broom Series” playlist. Will make so much sense and put more context to this video ! Please let me know how that goes for you. Best wishes Stu
Weight in the heels…..easily overlooked.👏
👍👍
Thanks Stu. I'm gonna hit some balls tonight and really work on the posture. It's almost there but seeing your excellent angles I can see I need to make some adjustments 👏👏
Good luck Doug! Hope it goes well
You can always challenge any concept, theory etc… But this club is designed, yes designed to hit the ball like this. The club is not centered on the shaft. If your angular on downswing the golf club rotates AUTOMATICALLY. YOU CAN SWING A CLUB THAT iS LOOSE (CAN SPIN AT THE HEAD ) AND CLUB WILL LINE UP. MORE STEEP LESS “Ryke effect” more you have to flip.
Older clubs , better swingers, much flatter lies. I’m not a pro, but this is dead on.
Thx u stewart
My pleasure my friend, and appreciate your insights and kind words. Best wishes Stu
Stu, u mind addressing one question. On the down swing pull , out to ball, the club head would go “0ff” a Explanar or hit the top off a chiliwhackwer , plane stick or whatever?
I still understand club path corrects with impact move, posture etc. driving me nuts I keep getting club out.
Thx u
Thx. Doc BPM BOSTON, MASS
@@BM-wt4chhi there. Wouldn’t get anywhere near an Explanar. Nuff said.
Refreshing "Out of the Box" thinking. If Bradley Hughes thinks along the same lines, you must be on the right track.
Haha Bradley is indeed on the right lines 👍
So does the power in the golf swing come from the right hand or the left hand tilting the club????????????? Hogan wished he had three right hands!
It comes from both of them...
I think your model is best for using natural forces. However, I have problems with the huge transition between the pull and downward push of the hands. Feels very jerky and discontinuous.
Not sure what natural forces entirely means, keep at it and make sure all other ingredients are on point Jeff. Best wishes Stu
I understand this and itakes sense, but wath bodypart is pulling forward? 😅
The handle.
To the heck with the body parts. I'm trying to understand which forward? The forward you are facing while standing sideways to the direction of your target or the other forward, the one you'd like the ball to travel in?
Hey buddy - handle to ball line and for more clarity, watch my broom series. It will give so much more context to this video my friend.
So the longer the club the more natural upright you will be?
No Sir, 90° with all.
If anyone is wondering about a pro on tv that does all these things well, just watch Charley Hull
Charley has the grip Jesse for sure! And especially short game.
@GoodGolfCoaching I agree. Glad to see the ol' girl in the winners circle again!
No doubt!
@GoodGolfCoaching she's a player and easy on the eyes as well!
Math and science don’t lie. These two subjects are in my wheelhouse, but you don’t have to understand them or even like them, but you must respect them. I’m sure the keyboard warriors will be screaming. 😂 Cheers.
Thanks my friend, really appreciate your support and sharing your views. I really enjoyed this one. 😊
Feel vs real. As a left-hand dominant, learning to play right handed, my feel was complete opposite. I needed to feel my arms drop. The pull forward was overdone by my left hand dominance. I would like to see one of these TH-cam instructors turn around and swing left handed. All of the knowledge won't make you a good golfer. You have to first have the knowledge then train it, 10,000 hours, 1,000,000 balls.
There you are Steve - me hitting left hand Left Handed Shots! #golf #improveyourgolf #golfadvice #simplegolftips #golftips #golfers #mygolftip

There must be more down than forward at speed else you would miss the ball entirely
I hope my video shares my thoughts on this... :)
Surely not ..too much down before the pull forward... hits the ground behind the ball every time ....if your posture is correct the video clearly shows that
Absolutely spot on Graham, hope you're well buddy! Best wishes Stu
@grahammurray6785 Fair point, but he didn't say "before". I believe he's meaning relevant to moving forward and down at the same time (diagonally down in a forward direction). Reread in this context and his point Is sound.
@jonnyincognito899
I suggest one thing ...book a lesson with Stu..and you will understand better just what he is talking about ..but you need the grip posture lift and turn all to be working together its easier to be shown face to face ..but he does bloody well to get all those things across in multi videos ...and getting people to understand the concept ...book a lesson you will change your golf forever...cheers GM
Shanksville for the majority of people trying to copy this 🤦
Thanks for sharing your views! 😊
this cured my shanks. hands need to exit left.
I’m not saying it’s wrong or wrong as a feel. I just know it’s for amateurs it will be tough
I don't think you understood the video
@ probably not
I no longer watch any other for all my clubs full swing.
Love to hear it my friend!
So do I. I´m also starting to delete all my other youtube golf video subscriptions.
I believe you will be a far better golfer because of it.
No way. Don't even try this...OMG..."feel a forward pull"... absolutely NO !!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Jack!
Too much what not to do. Just tell us what to do,
Sadly i'm not a quick fix/tip guy my friend, so you'll have to put up with my explanations, no problem if they frustrate, plenty of channels with accommodate your short patience. Best wishes Stu
So much conflicting information against general teaching, is unbelievable. Here we have Mike Malaska saying you should tilt the club, Padriagh Harrington wouldn't even concern himself with this rubbish, these conflicting ideas never stop, no wonder golfers are so messed up.
When you're getting free information Eric, choosing your poison is in your hands.... Enjoy the chase :)
There’s not one correct way to swing a golf club. Our minds and bodies are all wired differently. Personally, I like Padraig, AMG, Porzak, and Alex Moore. Alex Moore said recently that the goal for golfers should be to master all the positions in the golf swing, so that eventually you can drop all mechanical swing thoughts and just visualize your shots and be an athlete and play golf on the course instead of “golf swing”. That resonated with me.
Find a coach whose personality and philosophy clicks with you. It’s like finding a meditation teacher or a girlfriend. When it clicks, it should be obvious.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Brian!
"Get off fucking TH-cam" - Tiger Woods giving the best advice there is in golf instruction
I agree with Brian, we are all different but these lessons are good for me to understand what the hands and arms are doing, after all your hand path dictates where the club head goes. the handle is so important. not to say all the rest of isn't important, posture covering the ball and left hip out of the way. it's complicated. but I feel these videos help me understand what is/should be going on. keep up the good work.
