AMG team this video is incredible! I’ve have always had club face control, lift up, and inconsistent contact from swiping the hands across and around (around advice from a lesson). I’ve always struggled with drop the arms and then turn the hips concept that gets widely preached but do this off the back hip with a mandatory turn and the whole thing falls into place. Great work once again!
@@AthleticMotionGolf Sadly, I tore my Achilles in June and had surgery. But have been recovering well, doing PT, and started working short game and hitting balls a few weeks ago. Will see you in Orlando once I get back in the groove.
I would like to thank you gentlemen for sharing great pro data. I have built a very powerful , accurate and repeatable golfswing . I am 62 yo 5'-7" and absolutely smash the golfball thanks in a large part to you guys. I do have a very costly problem in that I snap stiff golf shafts at times. I just broke 3 shafts in myrtle this month. They are breaking across my back in my follow-through. This problem is driving me crazy and I have no idea on how to fix it. I figured why not ask the #1 golf teaching professionals in the entire industry. My clubs are broken , my wife is mad as hell for me destroying brand new callaways and I am at the end of a rope. Thanks guys
My son (freshman D1 player) was working hard on speed this past spring. Has speed sticks, etc. but wanted to take it to the range. Never broke a shaft before. Suddenly he broke 2 within 2 weeks & I wasn't too happy. I had some video of him around that time & noticed he was now super extending his follow-through (like Kyle Berkshire) to get a bounce effect off his back. It wasn't adding any benefit (length) as he currently tops out around 118. I told him to get more control of his follow through to finish in a more classic position. He instantly stopped the bounce nonsense & still keeps it in the 112-114 range as stock. Hasn't broken a shaft since.
Always been a decent golfer but struggled greatly with early extension and flipping. This year I made it my life’s mission to “learn to rotate” and I started to try and torque my hips as much as possible. But no matter how early or how much I could turn them, I still would flip. I nearly lost my mind. 2 weeks ago I went to an extremely highly regarded pro in the area. I won’t get into all the details but after a few hours, I was at a point where it almost felt like my back was facing the target as my arms were swinging towards it. Now in my head, all I could think was how could I possibly get all that rotation I hear so much about if my arms are swinging to the target while I feel like I’m facing backwards. Well to my absolutely shock, when I saw the video, it was the nicest looking golf swing I had ever made. Not hyperbole or a joke. All those hours of TH-cam or even local pros telling me to “rotate through the ball.” Was getting me so stuck behind with my arms that I couldn’t release but instead would just have to flip and save it. It’s not perfect by any means, but I have FINALLY felt it, the connectedness I hear so many people talk about. I had never felt like my body was working as a unit, but now that I have had a taste, I am so excited to build the muscle memory and see where it takes me
I had a lesson recently and he taught me to do the exact thing you’re saying here not to do. I think agree with what you’re teaching here, but it’s frustrating to pay for a precessional lesson and get taught the exact opposite. Practiced what he taught for a week and it was really hurting my back, so I knew it was wrong. Your videos are helping straighten me back out.
You guys are the ultimate golf myth busters. 20 years of struggling and you guys gave me the confirmation that all these golf instructors are hacks. I literally started doing the opposite of what other instructors say and started using my hands instead of body and my handicap has been cut in half in the last year.
I would be very interested in a Gears video about how the elbow and wrist move in-swing during the bunker shot. Looking at 2D videos, it seems that the right elbow flexes earlier in the bunker back swing, and the left elbow flexes earlier in the bunker follow through. It also looks like the right wrist radially deviates in the bunker backswing and follow through, whereas the right wrist dorsiflexes and then palmar flexes in the full swing release. So it’s an arm and wrist early flip release with the shaft vertical at impact with the sand, as opposed to a delofted, covered, forward shaft lean at impact on the turf. You Tube has a lot of videos about the bunker shot posture grip and alignment, but only AMG has the technology to isolate the elbow and wrist motion in-swing. Thank you for helping us.
Have you got anything for backswing lads, my concept or that is way off!! Great video as always this has totally changed the way I think about the downswing!!
tks for this for the past 40 years we were taught to do exactly what you guys say this information is so much crap not in those words x factor push off with the right foot leave the arms up while starting the hips I have tried to do what they said to do for 40 years with nothing but crappy results iam proof that that thinking is total rubbish your information has allowed me to play the best golf in my life golf is way more fun now tks for your help finally golf is fun now
I remember watching a video from you guys that was about hitting from the trail side. That video helped me tremendously and I would like to rewatch it could you tell me what one it was??
They've mentioned the concept a few times, but the video you're likely looking for is "Tour shaft lean secret no one is telling you". Go to their home page, hit the videos tab and scroll down to it.
Great tips in this video. Kudos. Is there anyway to make a video where your Gears software calculates the imaginary chord length between the butt of the club and a fix point around the navel area? I find I get better strikes when I focus on this chord length especially after hip rotation. This will also support your trail side hitting the ball. Also, it stops getting stuck. Thanks if you can consider this as Gears software is unreachable in price for most of us, and Sports AI won't give this data.
I had heard that you should feel like you hit the ball with your trail hip. Now it makes sense. Is there a drill or swing aid that will help add speed to this feel? Thanks
@@TJ-pf6sj you can’t add speed to something (with good results) that you’re not good at doing. Get really good at doing this and the speed will increase 👊😉
I love these amg videos - I’ve grown so much as golfer following these over the years!! Is there a dynamic drill to help with this concept?? When I go full speeds the wheels come off!!! Thanks!
Are you asking for a drill that'll have you doing something at full speed without first learning how to do it properly at a slow speed? I'm not sure that 🦄exists 😉
I know high class instructors usually don't want to critique specific instructions made by specific instructors, but I wish I could see you and Dana Dahlquist discuss your differences. Two major things I've seen from most of his instructions that run counter to your tutorials are that he doesn't want to bring the arms down manualy (supposedly the movement of the body makes that happen), and he want players to land left and seperate immediately (lower and upper body). Of course, both he and you at AMG are too succesful and knowledgable to ignore or dismiss completely, and you both focus on a athletic centered philosophy, so would have been interesting to see your discussions.
@@freddym6643 concepts should be fair game discussion and put u def the🔬 I haven’t heard him say either of those, but I have a lot of other folks - those concepts have been around awhile. I would encourage every golfer like yourself to avoid giving the same weight to what someone says as what someone shows with measured data. The two can quite often be very different.
@@AthleticMotionGolf A youtuber named Jerome Rufin has many lessons with Dana. The videos are up on youtube. He definitely talks about those things here and there, even if it's not the main focus. Also, Dana uses sportsboxai, so I'm sure he would claim his teachings are backed by measured data.
@@freddym6643 that’s great. I don’t know what range of 3D he uses, so I can only speak about the app you mentioned - which doesn’t measure 1 of the 2 concepts you’ve mentioned. We’ve tested it a lot, there’s a reason we choose not to use it.
@@AthleticMotionGolf Dr. Kwon also aligns with the arms moving down naturally, reacting to your kinetic chain. He doesn’t promote actively moving the arms because it could potentially throw off the kinematic sequencing. However, to AMG’s point, most people are so focused on firing the hips they have to focus on actively bringing the arms down to sequence better. All depends on the player!!!
Pete Cowen uses the metaphor of that fairgrounds ride with the chairs hanging from chains and it spins in a circle, its called a swing ride... Yeah so if you sped up too fast, or slowed down too fast, everyone would hit each other. Even though I know this, I still get too quick with my initiation! I really like seeing the angles with the chest here it really helps, thanks my scientist brothers!
They always say ams are working too hard. This is such a simple body coordination. I recently visited them in their studio. They were perceptive and attentive to every individual student, picking up the flaws and selecting the drills to move each student through that athletic motion to maximize consistency and distance. If you like their TH-cam instruction, you should consider joining the AMG matrix that is a structured sequence of video training with the ability to post your swings for review.
Would it be wrong to start the backswing with chest? Rotating chest would also start small pelvis movement naturally as you land pressure onto ball of lead foot. And then u push off the foot and rotate shoulder.
Hey can you make a video about maintaining posture throughout the swing. And why Most of us lose posture during the swing. Is it because of the lower body, upper body, or both.
We have the numbers so belief won't have to be part of the answer 🙂 In this video, we show when the hips start to turn back left compared to the upper body. There's a small window in the backswing (transition) where that happens. Now I believe you're asking about the literal distance between the hip and shoulder. At the top to lead-arm parallel in the downswing, the actual distance between the left hip and left shoulder increases by ~1". Keep in mind, that that increase is happening as the rotation separation between the two is getting smaller, not larger. By the time the player reaches impact, that ~1" increase in distance between the hip and shoulder is still there despite the rotation separation shrinking by more than half of where it started at the top. The ~1" distance separation is happening because the shoulders and pelvis are turning on drastically different planes, not because there's a rotational stretch increase between the two.
I am someone who fires the hips and ends up stuck behind, I have with a very rock and block look to my shoulders which are at a steep angle. I’ve tried to change this before and the problem is it’s really hard to get the feel of starting to move in one direction whilst you haven’t finished the backswing which is in the opposite direction. It just feels contrary to what I’m used to. 😂
@@neilsmith2240 I feel you 😅 rewatch the “transition” section with the gears images. Moving the hips one way while the torso is going the other way only happens for a couple milliseconds. It is NOT something you should try to do. Practically, but hey both are urn forward at the same time - so much easier to do 👍
Hi AMG, I'm a bit confused by the part of the video where you explain that the arms drop down and then it's just a rotation of the pelvis and torso. What proportion of hand supination is there then? Thanks for the explanation.
@@michalgoetz1338 we rarely have to mention it to get the player shallow UNLESS they are trying to turn the wheel to the ball - meaning, if you were holding a small steering wheel instead of a club, you do not want to turn the steering wheel towards the ball (to the left for a right hander) at the start of the downswing.
@@AthleticMotionGolfit’s the truth. Like you said many swing instructors have been fooled by stationary camera angles. Also all you have to do is focus on players right elbow in slow motion from almost any angle and you can really see what you’re talking about.
Firing the hips is not bumping the front hip! It used to be in the grapewine, you need to bump your front hip, but you really don’t. It is just gonna get your turn stopped and stuck and result pushes and blocked shots, unless you are quick with your hands and arms.
Too many myths on how to hit flighted wedges. I’ve tried it all but cannot get it. The usual instruction is: Weight left, ball back, closer to the ball, choke down, smaller and slower swing, club face stays looking at ball in takeaway. None of it worked for me. Myth bust this please! And how the hell do i hit a draw for real?
What Heresy!!! x-factor and x-factor stretch has been correlated to clubhead speed. But so is shark attacks and ice cream sales. You are calling out all the Instagram charlatans!! How dare you tell the truth!! 😂❤ AMG is veritas.
Great explanation but too complicate to follow… it just append another swing though into 100 swing thoughts in the head. You guys just make it way too complicate.
Oh no, the myth busters are at it again :-D In defence to the poor ppl still trying to do this, it certainly looks that way on camera and it has been portrayed that way for so long that it's become the truth even tho it doesnt happen...
@@sirtogii5216 very true! If enough people say something enough times - well it must be true 🤦♂️ Unfortunately for golfers, that describes a lot of golf instruction.
