Thanks Pro! I’m flattered to hear that. A lot of wonderful coaches and content creators in our space! I’ll do my best to continue to add value for my subscribers! Welcome aboard! Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
This instructional earned a subscription! These instructors teaching holding the club face off has caused some painful miserable days at the range. I’m 53 with a bad back and it’s refreshing to be reminded THE CLUB IS SUPPOSE TO RELEASE FREELY LOL…reduces tension and it’s the effortless swing we’ve heard about for so many years…thanks!
I played golf with just my hands for 55 or so years--a real hacker. I found Paul Wilson on TH-cam about 10 years ago and he taught me how to do it right. Since then (I'm now 86) I have matched or beat my age 271 times (so there is an advantage to being really old!!!). Anyway, I just watched this video and you and Paul are teaching the exact same thing. Since Paul hasn't done any videos this year, you are a more than adequate replacement, helping me to get back on track when my game strays. I'm now subscribed and happy! Great presentation!
Really like you channel, really clear instruction which has corrected a lot of misinformation I've heard on other channels. Teaching a pro swing to a amateur who's not of elite flexibility always made zero sense. I don't care how Rory swings it, he's not 52 with a bad back who sits at a desk all week!
I went out into my backyard after watching this video, and all 20 swings felt consistent, smooth and powerful, of course I tore up a square foot of sod, but oh well, it was worth it. Subscribed!
I keep my head down behind the ball well through impact. This allows my arms and wrists to release as you demonstrate. Watch Fred Couples release pattern. He does it beautifully.
love this! im 62…and sidebend is now just sidelean. normal newschool sidebend with bent right elbow thru zone needs to be modified for my use. hes spot on and is appreciated

New subscriber here. Your teaching philosophy makes sense to me. There are lots of the body turn people out there. They seem to be trying to teach swings like DJ. I’m in my 50’s and can never get into those positions. I would like to think it’s possible to have a free swing and release of the arms and hands, with the body reacting to that motion. The only fear I have is one you mention. I have lots of tension throughout my shoulders, arms and hands. I think this results from years of bad contact. The body involuntary braces for impact. I have never been able to get rid of this tension when hitting a real ball. I sort of gave up on this years ago. I read Dean Reinmuth’s book Tension Free Golf, but he never really explains how to get rid of tension in a way I could implement. As you point out, the tension is not there when swinging an Orange whip, etc. I will work on it because I feel your path is more realistic for me. Thanks for the videos. Your way of teaching and explaining is outstanding!
You mean when I swing the club I’m not suppose to temporarily stop the swing at position p99 and pull out my brothers slide rule from the 1970s and calculate angle of attack and then resume swinging 😅😅 you are a breath of fresh air !! Thanks for keeping it real 😊😊
This is my true nemesis in the game of golf. My boogeyman. Not releasing the club, letting my arms fully extend & get to a balanced finish. Seems that it should be the easiest part of the swing.
I think this haunts a lot of us. I think it’s the tendency to want to try to “ steer” the golf ball which causes us all to decelerate instead of accelerate through the ball!
Thanks for another great video coach ! As you said to someone else in the comments, "find the release that matches your grip", can you make a video about that? Personally I have a weak/neutral left hand and a weak right hand grip, and I struggle with "scooping", any tips greatly appreciated. All the best, Baldbird.
Baldbird- thanks for watching! Work on hitting some punch shots with a 7 iron and make sure you feel those lead knuckles turning down at P6! You’re going to need a faster (ROC) Rate of Closure. You require LESS lower body rotation and more forearm rotation - that’s your match up!! See if you can hit some low “trap draws!” #GOALS Get after it! Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Very good stuff Andrew! We share very similar philosophies on coaching. I call the release the swinging gate. We are the post and the club whips past us!
People automatically line up with the club centered behind the ball. Your dynamic swing in my case has the club moving slightly away at bottom of swing. I now start with club a ball width inside target line and slightly back. Now I don't feel like I am trying to hit ball and just letting swing flow. Has anyone else noticed this?
Andrew appreciate this video very much. In the swinging action of L to L are your thumbs pointing down the shaft at the ball at impact in the hinge-unhinge-rehinge. Also your comment about swinging to the finish is a really important process in the swing & I would love you to do a video on how to finish a golf swing correctly as I'm sure that this is a perfect indicator on how to swing (not hit) correctly.
Thumbs point slightly behind the ball at impact due to forward shaft lean dynamics! The key is to ALLOW your speed to go somewhere which is why I’m a huge advocate for the L to L or “Hitchhiker Drill!” Don’t drag the handle! Noted on “Swinging to the finish!” - A hugely important subject that I will be doing a video on in the upcoming weeks. Thanks for watching! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf just a further question do you use both hands equally together in your golf swing or are you dominate with either your lead or trail hand in executing the downswing & L to L release?.
Andrew at 66 with limitations, I strengthened my grip tore my left minicus😢 When better in a short time, i can be there in 3.5 hours from Spartanburg, to fix me!

Really like this but I feel like there’s something so simple that I’m missing as to the release. We’re not rolling our hands or unhinging from the top throwing the clubhead, how are you getting it released so easily? I’m trying to throw so quickly from the top and I still don’t get it released and spray the ball in both directions. Thank you!
I don’t like to speculate without seeing your swing but I suspect your club face is open!! If it is - you’re going to struggle to square the face! Make sure you’re grip isn’t too weak or in the palm of your lead hand! The toe of the club needs to be “tipping” down earlier as you change direction!

She releases as freely as anyone! Rose Zhang will be playing competitive golf at the highest level “Injury Free” for the next three decades! She has no excessive movements or compensations in her swing. She’s a human “Stripe & Repeat machine!” - Perfect match ups with NO excessive right send bend, lateral motion, verticals OR club face (ROC) Rate of closure. All the moving parts are as harmonious as ANY player right now! And, she has an incredible putting stroke, awesome short game and a mind of equal ability which is frightening! I believe she will win more majors than any woman or man in history by the time she is finished! I know that’s a very strong statement. But she’s got the game……..👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Subscribed! Coach A. , these exercises and explanations have been a game changer for me. I have spent a lot of time on TH-cam over the years and this is the first video to provide a "eureka moment" for me.

@@AndrewEmeryGolfsame sentiment here at nearly 60 y/o, I’ve recently sacked my 25 y/o golf coach who can’t relate to my natural physical limitations. Subscribed.
Thank you Andrew very good lesson! I’ve surprised myself infrequently with distance from an almost lackadaisical swing with nearly only gravity moving the club. Do you recommend leaving the wrists very loose throughout the swing? Thanks
Randy - As long as you maintain good grip integrity keeping your wrist joints loose is going to allow you to swing more freely! Just don’t get loose with your grip! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Tension free arms and wrists will help create the speed needed to generate more distance. Focusing on the ball at impact can create tension = distance killer 👍
Great videos. Watching them all. My biggest problem is getting a balanced and full follow though on swings , especially driver .. Any videos or advice you can recommend? Thanks and keep those videos coming
Thanks Elliot….Try making a bunch of swings to a balanced finish with no backswing! Simply start at impact and swing to the finish - train yourself to focus on swinging from TO the finish!! You’ll have it in no time at all! Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
The longer the. club, the more the tendency to hit at it. Once you throw the clubhead at the ball, it's over. Any finish at all is a fake finish. Swing the entire club. Never lever the clubhead. The ball isn't even there for good players. They know it ain't going no where.
What do you look at or "envision" when addressing the ball? My problem is I can take practice swing after practice swing but when I see the ball I "target it" and my swing changes.
Ken - you have to begin with the END in mind! Take the club back with the intent to finish! Simply allow the ball to be captured with that “INTENTION”, and your odds of success increase dramatically! Cheers! Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
When you demonstrate “dumping the club early,” there is no rotation. With proper form early release has been advocated by some of the world’s most renowned golf instructors.
Feels v Reals. Transition spinning is destroying backs and golf swings everyday. Good intention with bad results for so many. The wrists, arms and of course body all play a vital role. What each golfer has to ‘feel’ in order to blend these parts harmoniously will of course vary for each golfer. But for most, the arms swing is lacking as is the correct wrist articulation. All spin (effort) with no speed is a common trait! This video is meant as a remedy for that particular swing affliction. Best, A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf Well put, Andrew. I have a weathered copy of John Jacob’s “Practical Golf.” I recall reading “ Stand facing any good golfer and watch the space between the hands and right shoulder during the downswing. You will see that it widens like lightning.” Jim Flick wanted us to swing the left arm independently. My first lesson was from Homer Snead 50 yrs ago. He began by having me focusing on knees and hips. Today I think he did me no favor, as I put in countless hours neglecting the arms and hands. This is something I will have to dig out of the dirt to find a repeatable feel. Thank you for answering .
@@AndrewEmeryGolf Sam’s big brother Homer. Yes, he was cantankerous. The scruffy driving range in Oakland Park, Florida where he held court criticizing customers golf swings. When children took a shortcut across the back of the range he jumped into his Caddy convertible and gave chase. I eventually began taking lessons from his friend Louise Balanger. Her indoor studio had a video camera to work with. In 1974 it was somewhat cutting edge.
I respectfully disagree Hans! These drills are very well suited to swing speeds synonymous with the majority of weekend warriors out there! But that is of course my opinion, and you clearly have yours! Bottom line - Find what works best for ‘you’ and get after it! Good luck & Thanks for watching! Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻

I get it! I’ve been coaching a long time Stephen - You have to find what works for you mate. I don’t know if you’ve ever struggled keeping your pelvis in its depth like so many golfers - If so, this drill is terrific. I have a lot of my elite juniors doing this with great success. I also haven’t seen this on YT. I’m sure you have a high golf IQ but keep an open mind and give it a try! Best of luck!

I dont like it Andrew! Too simple. What am I supposed to do with my 300 plus, swing thoughts ?? Seriously, great lesson, my brain is a lot less cluttered ! Thank you.
Are you suggesting that a klod like me (And I am a klod) should let the hands/ arms control the swing ? Cuz I’ve never been able to get the body to control the swing eg I can’t transfer my weight by using my hips, legs, feet.
I wouldn’t go as far as saying the hands and arms ‘control’ the swing. The body is still the transport mechanism - However, I would suggest that learning to use your hands and arms will dramatically increase your speed v “effort!” Most golfers have excessive tension in their arms and drive way too hard with their body! If this sounds like you then watch some more vids on my channel! And, stay tuned for this Saturday’s vid! It will be an eye-opener! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Salient points for sure Tim!! The last thing you want is to throw the club or release early! But the speed has to go somewhere. Most golfers have excessive tension and in my experience drag the handle towards them through impact! There’s a marriage between body dynamics and the arm swing - I think the balance lies in blending them! Thanks for watching! Best, A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
My coach calls it being “handle heavy” thru impact. Honestly if you turn correctly you cant flip. You release AND turn… the flip comes from slowing rotation down
@emptyt13 handle heavy is perfect. Thanks. Yes I'm now just focusing on my hand path as my swing thought. Just that long arc from set up up to top of backswing then down and through to a full finish. It's a long path. Needs to be executed fully and in rythym. I don't even think about the clubhead. Always swinging in a circle around my rotating torso. Never toward the ball. The clubhead will get there without me forcing it out. It's amazing that little move from the top of a split second flinching the clubhead towards the ball ruins the whole day....lol. Have a great weekend.
This is the only golf instruction I’m going to pay attention to. Best I’ve seen and I’m old enough to have seen a lot! From Georgetown TX.

What about grip Andrew, is there a one size fits all or do we have to find what works for us to release like you say here? Thanks
Mark - you should absolutely find what works best for you!Then match your release pattern to your grip.
Hope that helps!

What do you look at or "envision" when addressing the ball? My problem is I can take practice swing after practice swing but when I see the ball I "target it" and my swing changes.
Ken - you have to begin with the END in mind! Take the club back with the intent to finish! Simply allow the ball to be captured with that “INTENTION”, and your odds of success increase dramatically!
Cheers! Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Very well done. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching Nathan!

Excellent 👍
Thank you! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Yep and Paddy Harrington recently said 85% of clubhead speed is in the hands & arms.
Love Paddy! The guy gets it! One size doesn’t fit all! Thanks for watching! Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Well explain video tips
Thanks Lenard! 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Great
Thank you! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
When you demonstrate “dumping the club early,” there is no rotation. With proper form early release has been advocated by some of the world’s most renowned golf instructors.
Feels v Reals. Transition spinning is destroying backs and golf swings everyday. Good intention with bad results for so many.
The wrists, arms and of course body all play a vital role. What each golfer has to ‘feel’ in order to blend these parts harmoniously will of course vary for each golfer.
But for most, the arms swing is lacking as is the correct wrist articulation. All spin (effort) with no speed is a common trait! This video is meant as a remedy for that particular swing affliction.
Best, A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻

Well put, Andrew. I have a weathered copy of John Jacob’s “Practical Golf.”
I recall reading “ Stand facing any good golfer and watch the space between the hands and right shoulder during the downswing. You will see that it widens like lightning.”
Jim Flick wanted us to swing the left arm independently.
My first lesson was from Homer Snead 50 yrs ago. He began by having me focusing on knees and hips. Today I think he did me no favor, as I put in countless hours neglecting the arms and hands.
This is something I will have to dig out of the dirt to find a repeatable feel. Thank you for answering .
Homer Snead!! Wow! I heard he was quite a character. Sam’s older brother?! Very cool! 😎
@@AndrewEmeryGolf Sam’s big brother Homer. Yes, he was cantankerous. The scruffy driving range in Oakland Park, Florida where he held court criticizing customers golf swings. When children took a shortcut across the back of the range he jumped into his Caddy convertible and gave chase. I eventually began taking lessons from his friend Louise Balanger. Her indoor studio had a video camera to work with. In 1974 it was somewhat cutting edge.
Great for the player who can hit a lot of balls and play a lot. But for the weekend player that takes a lot of timing. Misleading
I respectfully disagree Hans! These drills are very well suited to swing speeds synonymous with the majority of weekend warriors out there! But that is of course my opinion, and you clearly have yours! Bottom line - Find what works best for ‘you’ and get after it! Good luck & Thanks for watching!

My practice swing is perfect. Add a ball, and it all falls apart.
I talk about that challenge in my latest video! Your speed needs a home! Thanks for watching!

👍👏👍👏
Was hoping to learn something new in watching this video...😂
I get it! I’ve been coaching a long time Stephen - You have to find what works for you mate. I don’t know if you’ve ever struggled keeping your pelvis in its depth like so many golfers - If so, this drill is terrific. I have a lot of my elite juniors doing this with great success. I also haven’t seen this on YT. I’m sure you have a high golf IQ but keep an open mind and give it a try! Best of luck! A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
REVERSE Step Drill to STOP EARLY EXTENDING!

I dont like it Andrew! Too simple. What am I supposed to do with my 300 plus, swing thoughts ?? Seriously, great lesson, my brain is a lot less cluttered ! Thank you.
Too funny!! Cut your swing thoughts in half, divide by 6, then divide by 2 and go play!!
🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻😎
@@AndrewEmeryGolf Still too many.....thanks
@@AndrewEmeryGolf yes, and I can stop thinking about our tax returns ! Thank you for your great work.
Are you suggesting that a klod like me (And I am a klod) should let the hands/ arms control the swing ? Cuz I’ve never been able to get the body to control the swing eg I can’t transfer my weight by using my hips, legs, feet.
I wouldn’t go as far as saying the hands and arms ‘control’ the swing. The body is still the transport mechanism - However, I would suggest that learning to use your hands and arms will dramatically increase your speed v “effort!”
Most golfers have excessive tension in their arms and drive way too hard with their body! If this sounds like you then watch some more vids on my channel! And, stay tuned for this Saturday’s vid! It will be an eye-opener! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf Thanks I will do that. Nearest port in a storm to help for my despicable golf game.
Swing the entire club....yes......lever the clubhead...nope!!
Salient points for sure Tim!! The last thing you want is to throw the club or release early! But the speed has to go somewhere. Most golfers have excessive tension and in my experience drag the handle towards them through impact! There’s a marriage between body dynamics and the arm swing - I think the balance lies in blending them!
Thanks for watching! Best, A.

My coach calls it being “handle heavy” thru impact. Honestly if you turn correctly you cant flip. You release AND turn… the flip comes from slowing rotation down
@emptyt13 handle heavy is perfect. Thanks. Yes I'm now just focusing on my hand path as my swing thought. Just that long arc from set up up to top of backswing then down and through to a full finish. It's a long path. Needs to be executed fully and in rythym. I don't even think about the clubhead. Always swinging in a circle around my rotating torso. Never toward the ball. The clubhead will get there without me forcing it out. It's amazing that little move from the top of a split second flinching the clubhead towards the ball ruins the whole day....lol. Have a great weekend.
