Erika, will convert a "hitter" into an incredible "swinger" in record time. PGA teachers love to drag lessons and teaching out forever and ever to just keep making money. It's nonsense! Erika is the best instructor to learn how to golf for amateurs PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally! A golf instruction video that doesn't spend 50% or more of the time analyzing why you are doing it wrong. That "teaching" technique only reinforces your negative thinking so you continue to do it wrong. Most golf instructors get this wrong! Don't tell me how I"m doing it wrong, tell me how to do it right. You are a breath of fresh air! Thank you!
One of the best instruction videos ever! I now have your book, "A TRUE SWING" which I'm enjoying and have enrolled in your online instruction course. You've proven to me that you can teach an old dog new tricks.
"Golf teacher" is an understatement. You are an extraordinary "gifted" golf teacher. What a superb explanation of the transition in the golf swing. Thank you. In the line describing your achievements, "Mom" should come first (not last) as it is the most difficult of all accomplishments.
No, she's a golf teacher. A good one for sure. Stop the adulation it's insincere. It's these kind of over the top comments and reactions that ends up putting people on pedestals they fall off of. Just keep it loose and steady just like her golf swing.
Any other TH-cam instructor would have dragged all that out to be much longer than 13 minutes and 38 seconds. Thanks for the clear and straight to-the-point lesson with the great drills included. Excellent job.
Absolutely brilliant. I’ve watched thousands of hours of golfing videos but nothing like this. This video explains it so easily, that even an “eejit” like me feels confident enough to accomplish this. 😁
Erika you’re a great teacher of the swing. I’ve worked on these for a long time Everything you taught in your video is so key to a successful and repeatable golf swing everyone should learn these drills.
Best Teacher on UTUBE. Played today after watching this video yesterday. I hit my driver as good as I could expect. Also hit some good irons. Great instruction! Thanks.
Thank you. That's all I need to know now to get back on the practice range and start to enjoy golf again. A lesson with you would be worth 10 with how well you explain things 👍
In one day I have found fixes for both my backswing (Never takeaway) and transition. I was confused on the transition with driver. Thanks for the simple but effective way you instruct.
I worked on your tip on less arms and more turn. This is, without question , the best advice I’ve ever heard. Within three swings I was hitting it farther, straighter and with significantly less effort. Every time I quit turning I went to an arm swing and the results were less than ideal. GREAT INSTRUCTION...WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Thanks so very much, Thomas
I have been locked into GRF golf for a long time but your breakdown of body mechanics is next level. Your body drop and pumping the legs is all part of using the ground. You’re a great instructor. Love how you explain your feel.
I cannot tell you how great this video is. All these "hit bombs" videos dont help the average Joe. I have been practicing this and not only have I increased distance but the slice is way better :) Thank you.
Arikaeye's...., you are a Game Changer!!! Todays lesson, opened my eye's, to the key element, that is missing in my golf swing! Thaml you, for your Knowledge!! Can't Wait to get out there again, and put this into practice!!!!!
Hi Erika. The content in this video is outstanding. It directly addresses a major issue that many many golfers struggle with. That said it’s unfortunate that you used a gun reference to describe it. I understand that the load cock fire analogy is obvious in terms of the operation of a firearm but I watched the video on my television with several others present and they outwardly cringed. For what it’s worth I felt that as a huge fan of yours I would be remiss if I did not point that out to you. Thanks for all that you do for the amateur golfers struggling to improve. Your message is always consistent. I cannot say that about the hundreds of PGA professionals who were all taught out of the same book yet give us hundreds and hundreds of versions of the same content. Seems like a racket to me but thankfully I follow you because you have remained consistent. Keep up the great work. Love your book!
The tipping over, 2:10. This is where I fail, I think because I have tension in my wrists and grip, preventing the club from moving freely into that position. I’ll have to experiment with this on the range. Thanks!
I watched this video several times. So much resonated with me. Then I ordered your book on Amazon and read it cover to cover. It's like a journeyman's handbook. Something you put in your bag, and take to the range to work on drills and better understand the "natural swing." I so wish I had come across your content years ago. You have a teaching style that makes perfect sense and incorporates more of a person's natural abilities. Absolutely brilliant. Hoping to take a lesson with you someday. Outstanding video and mental cues. "The heave,"...the transition ( a pitcher falling toward the target).
Best lesson EVER! One question re driver. Is hitting up on ball body position different when using a 13* lifted driver than when using a 10.5* driver ?? ( Do you have to keep back behind ball the same ? )
Wow, best demonstration of the Step and Swing drill. I used to call it the Baseball drill. You must have been affiliated or originally taught at the Golf Digest Schools/Jim Flick and Bob Toski. I used to do the Step and Swing all the time at the Actual Driving Range, People probably thought I was Nutz. LOL. You Know your a serious Player when you have a Net inside your Home.
Are we "allowing" the tip and fall and return of weight to the front foot to provide the clubhead speed? Do we forget the arms and just let them follow all the former? I am trying to figure out how "allowing" the tipping/fall/ weight shift ever allow an increase in swing speed. Erika, you're a great explainer, but I can't find a single video in which you articulate one sentence that sums up what actually will increase clubhead speed.
Hi Erika, Thank you so much for your vidéos ! I started to play golf at 12 and now i’m 40. I’m 4 index and thanks to your videos, i understood the problem of my golf swing is the transition… none of my golf coach told me. So, thanks to you i know how to practise with your advice and exercises. Thank you soooo much 🙏
Getting out of the transition is something I struggle with. Too often I stand up or early-extend out of a decent "back-swing". I honestly need to focus as much or more on my posture post-contact. And by-the-way, thank you!
So much to work on just in this one video. Thank you for all this theory. Very well explained. Anxious to practice practice practice and put this to use.
Hi Erika, Thank you very much for your teaching video. I could not wait to try them out in my next driving session - especially my driver. Awesome teaching.
I really like your approach to the swing. As a low handicapper and athlete I was able to compensate for a casting-prone swing with a good short game, but that has ruined the 3 bones and ligaments connecting my left thumb to wrist (CMC). I am rebuilding my swing and the transition is key for me. Great video❤
Love this video and have watched it multiple times. Do you have a video specifically dealing with fairway woods? Big struggles with those!!! Thank you,,,you and your book are awesome!!!
Where you been all my LIFE. This have complex me for so much in my golf swing. I hope you are located in FLORIDA so I can come get a lesson or two, especially for my daughter.
I like your comment with driver at impact you return to same tilt you had at address. I never thought of this as impact with driver. But it makes sense. All pros have that impact look. Very cool. Thanks.
Hi Erica love you analogies of the golf swing. The roller coaster and now this. At 74 years old I discovered that if I swing with the power of my upper arms I can feel ‘the fall’ as you describe and it naturally occurs for me as my swing is now set as an automatic rife. How? With my both Vs pointing at my trail shoulder; my trail trigger finger correctly wrapped around my club; and responsive wrists as you showed us in another video; I am pre locked and loaded and ready to ‘fire’ passing my club head ‘bullet’ through the ball. Cheers
Absolutely love your true swing technique. I definitely have more distance in just the first few days trying it and reading your book. Question about your head movement, especially for irons. Does your head go past the ball before the clubhead reaches the ball? And on the backswing do you allow for some head movement away from the ball?
Absolutely worth watching every golf lesson you have created. Professional training right here. Your swing is Top Level. Excellent content. I need help coming from the top of the swing. I will follow these drills until I swing as balanced as you or close to it. Your physical condition is definitely at a high level as well.

Erika is the best instructor to learn how to golf for amateurs PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Totally agree! She has changed my thinking & game 100%!!
LOVE your instructions....ALWAYS resonate with me, simplified and TO THE POINT, not dragged out for extra minutes......THANK YOU.

Simplicity is the best teacher. You are a shining star. Thank you.
Even after watching a billion videos and taking endless lessons this is the first time I’ve heard of this. Thank you!
Just love your calm clear instructions and explanation. Thank you.
Absolutely brilliant. I’ve watched thousands of hours of golfing videos but nothing like this. This video explains it so easily, that even an “eejit” like me feels confident enough to accomplish this. 😁
Erika you are the best I can’t say enough about how much you have helped me with the game of golf.
Erika you’re a great teacher of the swing. I’ve worked on these for a long time Everything you taught in your video is so key to a successful and repeatable golf swing everyone should learn these drills.
Great video. Best explanation of the transition that I have ever seen. I am off to the range! Thanks.

Thank you. That's all I need to know now to get back on the practice range and start to enjoy golf again. A lesson with you would be worth 10 with how well you explain things 👍
I’ve watched tons of instruction videos on the transition in the golf swing. This is by far the easiest to understand. Very well Done!!
I really appreciate the thorough, simple, and effective explanation of the troublesome transition process. Very helpful! Thx
Im 61 and ive played from age 12,this is great info love how easy you explain it thank you
“”The Fall” love that swing thought in sequence, load , sit and fire , thanks coach Erika 🙋🏻♂️
In one day I have found fixes for both my backswing (Never takeaway) and transition. I was confused on the transition with driver. Thanks for the simple but effective way you instruct.
Love this lady. Great coach
Erika, you were such a great golf teacher. Your transition exclamation is the missing piece to a great golf swing.
That analogy actually makes sense.
good day to you.excellent illustration of the swing sensation thank you.
Thanks for the lesson. It's very clear and easy to follow.
Love your explanations💗 Thanks so much!
What an amazing explanation of the fall move or shallowing the club! Honestly the best....
That's awesome, Erika. I cannot thank you enough.
I worked on your tip on less arms and more turn. This is, without question , the best advice I’ve ever heard. Within three swings I was hitting it farther, straighter and with significantly less effort. Every time I quit turning I went to an arm swing and the results were less than ideal.

Thanks Erika - great breakdown of the transition....making it a distinct step in the process.
Watching in Australia and now cant wait to try it out. Thanks heaps Erica...
Great lesson…love the analogies and “feels”!
Awesome video!! I truly believe this will fix the biggest flaw in my swing.
Great and helpful detail for Sequencing.
Few talk about correct use of front leg and Post. ENLIGHTING
This is gold! I should have watched this when I was taking my first golf lesson.
I cannot tell you how great this video is. All these "hit bombs" videos dont help the average Joe. I have been practicing this and not only have I increased distance but the slice is way better :) Thank you.
Such precise wording and meaning. No confusion here. Great preparation of the lesson with great execution!
Great and clear golf instruction, thank you.
Thank you sooo much! I think those drills will help me a lot now that i understand the séquence.
Arikaeye's...., you are a Game Changer!!! Todays lesson, opened my eye's, to the key element, that is missing in my golf swing! Thaml you, for your Knowledge!! Can't Wait to get out there again, and put this into practice!!!!!

I appreciated your video, easy to understand and very practical for new golfer like me. 🙏🌹❤️
Very nice description of the transition and what you should feel
Awesome tips will go to driving range to practice the drills 😊
Best presentation I’ve ever seen. Thank you!
The tipping over, 2:10. This is where I fail, I think because I have tension in my wrists and grip, preventing the club from moving freely into that position. I’ll have to experiment with this on the range. Thanks!

Nice explanation…and a Tom House shout out!

Hopefully you have helped me find my swing.

Brilliant 👌🇮🇪
I like your comment with driver at impact you return to same tilt you had at address. I never thought of this as impact with driver. But it makes sense. All pros have that impact look. Very cool. Thanks.
thanks - this instructions are clear and I believe that I can work with them
Großartig 👏 ❤👍
Great lesson very imporENT!🙏🙏🙏
Just found you on Instagram, such a pleasure learning from you.
Great drills for me to work on. 👍
that little fall is the magic move. massive power when you fall then open hips.
Great tip! I think Shawn Clement calls this the gather or gathering move before delivery. Great video just subscribed.
You are an amazing teacher Erika, very glad I found your channel recently! Subbed all the way!
Well done
Hi Erica love you analogies of the golf swing. The roller coaster and now this.
At 74 years old I discovered that if I swing with the power of my upper arms I can feel ‘the fall’ as you describe and it naturally occurs for me as my swing is now set as an automatic rife.
How?
With my both Vs pointing at my trail shoulder; my trail trigger finger correctly wrapped around my club; and responsive wrists as you showed us in another video; I am pre locked and loaded and ready to ‘fire’ passing my club head ‘bullet’ through the ball. Cheers
Thank you for your insight into this.
Erika you are the best. Where can i find the driver lesson?
Wow just wow great way of explaining it!
Thanks for the drills
thanks so much for another great video Erika, really helped
Fantastic video. Thank you!
Merci Érika !
Pratique et utile !
Nice personality 🍀👍🎶

Does your head go past the ball before the clubhead reaches the ball? And on the backswing do you allow for some head movement away from the ball?
I need this information. More drills!
You are my #1 inspiration!!!
Great video. Thanks a lot ❤
