      I have been playing golf poorly for over 30 years, I always thought that I was pretty athletic (played a lot of baseball, basketball and tennis growing up) with decent strength, 5 - 11"/170 lbs, but I have never been able to find a good golf swing and to get any distance on my drives (less than 200 yards, with poor iron shots). I am always trying to understand what the correct elements of the swing (read Ben Hogan's book, and I love his golf swing, his seems very flat without much height, but still with a lot of width away from the body) are and what I should feel on each. I watched a ton of videos (many all over the place and contradictory) and I saw in my swing that my right arm was too tight and to low to my body on the backswing. I am hoping to use your information, especially raising the the right right arm to generate some width and hopefully club head speed. Thanks, I will keep watching.

      Video yourself side and back at waist height, preferably slomo, and take a careful look. Possibly you have a lovely smooth swing but are casting, causing low speed and shallow approach preventing hitting ball first. Like me.

    This is the best-of-the-best golf instruction on TH-cam. And It's not even close. The original video was great. This video is better. As a plus, this technique will fix a slice, because the magic move forces the club on plane.

    I am someone who had too many swing thoughts. Your videos even though very technical and bio mechanical in nature - do not make me overthink. I’m one of those people who needs to understand what is actually happening to create a swing flaw. Can’t tell you how much these videos have helped in last two weeks. Wish I had found this site earlier. Great stuff!

    Wow! Finally a video that describes the trail arm, location, movement and straightening sequence (to help shallow). I went to the range as I usually do, not expecting too much, as most TH-cam videos don't seem to make much difference, but in this case it's a life changing event for me!! Really! I was on the range and by the third swing I was absolutely flushing every shot with power I never knew I had. The ball was flying so high and so far I couldn't believe it. My divot patterns were looking like the pro's too!! I almost started crying with joy as I have been searching for this feel for 35 freaking years!! I hit three large buckets as I couldn't believe what was happening.... I didn't want to stop but the range folks said it was closing time. I have a tee-time tomorrow and can't wait to show my buddies my new power....lol. I just hope this transfers over to my play on the course. As a thanks for changing my golfing life I want to send you $1k. Where do I send the check??🏌‍♀💰⛳😊

  • @kevrobbo77
    @kevrobbo77 ปีที่แล้ว

    wow this is brilliant. i didnt know what to do on the initial movement of the downswing. i've watched loads of video's but none of them explained the right arm position. i was trying to turn the hips right at the top of the back swing and it felt better. but what i was deffo doing wrong was the right arm movement. i was bringing the left arm across way to quick totally messing up the hand speed potential. its so simple to understand now. the rest of the downswing kind of sorts itself out once in the right position with the right arm drop. my wrists were always kind of flat anyway. i'll get a feel for the difference and see how this does. thankyou guys.

    Great to see you guys back, loved your Pros v Ams shallowing preveiw i watched it many times seeing it in 3D makes it so easy to see the arm path, i was just watching 4 simple steps to tour fit hands and about the 8.35 minute mark onwards you can see why the 2D view makes people get things mixed up as it looks like shaun arm is going out on a 45deg angle so glad i seen it in 3d version .

    Thanks for the great video guys! Lots of great explanation here that blends well with your other shallowing content. When this video ended I was thinking, “Man…I wish this would continue on to explain how to time this up with impact.” Do you have a video that fills that gap? I’ve been working on this move but in an effort to gain hand speed I struggle with contacting the ground too early (basically slamming the club into the ground). Thanks again!

    Love the yo-yo analogy. I've long been a lead arm feel player, pulling the grip of the club through the hitting area. But just doing a few swings with that thought in my living room felt so much more consistent. Looking forward to trying this out at the range when it's not a blizzard outside.

      ​@@AthleticMotionGolf played in a tournament using this thought this past week. Added so much distance and control to my driver that I've never had before. Irons working pretty well, but I found I was more likely to chunk it if I didn't shift my feet pressure appropriately. Still a work in progress, but liking what I'm seeing so far.

  • @jonipyykko8112
    @jonipyykko8112 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you guys for making this video 🙏
    This correct rigth arm movement is golden! It actually solves many problems that amateur golfers make on downswing (pulling the club, early rotating the hips etc...)
    I would say that correct weight shift and hip clearing motion are almost PURE REACTION to right arm motion (shallowing and straighten). They will just happen naturally.
    For me this motion enables that i can THROW the club with incredible speed from the top!
    Now finally i understand what Mike Austin meant by throwing the club from the top! 🤗

  • @crowman2741
    @crowman2741 ปีที่แล้ว

    THIS WORKED FOR ME!!! Just got off the range - hit farther, straighter, sweeter, and more consistent balls. My key was 1) getting the right elbow in the right spot at top of backswing and 2) lowering the upper right arm directly to the side first. Thanks men.

  • @RickFerrara
    @RickFerrara ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This is a great "final piece" video for me, reminding me of the unfolding action of the rear arm that you have previously talked about. After finally setting my wrists correctly to the club and fixing posture issues, I can actually unfold the right arm until impact without casting. It finally all makes sense. Thanks for all the work you've all done.

    @scottbridgman7321 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Really great video thank you! As someone who has tried to find my swing for over 4 years, my aha moment was when i realized with a 0.25 second down swing the hands have to move and move fast. This got me out of the elbow staying bent as i rotate and over-the-top position I donned for years. The other subtle but really key aha in the video is while yes there is a sequence of lower then upper body, but in 0.25 seconds if anyone tries to feel this step-process the hands are so late to the game and again over the top every time. Thinking weight shift and fast hands at same time helped get my hands where they needed to be leading into impact. All of your videos are incredibly eye-opening, esp for amateures like me that have been doing all wrong things you cover in your videos, thanks so much!!

    • @Areyouduckingserious
      @Areyouduckingserious ปีที่แล้ว

      That's a great way of describing it. I feel like I've been thinking about my golf swing all wrong even after all these lessons, and I totally get why. And I might be able to thank this video for that. I don't know why I haven't thought about it like trying to cast a rod, as if you were skipping a rock, or having your hands down low.

  • @golfinitup2
    @golfinitup2 ปีที่แล้ว

    What a video! I am a plus handicap golfer with "good" speed, but I know I can create more. I have even seen +130 club head speed in my speed training, but I am inconsistent with it. My normal speed is about 113mph. This video hit on all(?) my inefficiencies. Trail arm too bent at the top, trail arm not level to the ground, and elbow not lowering and straightening. So, I am losing energy at the top and trying to maintain lag with my trail elbow and not my wrists. So much good to work on here. I am interested to see how these changes will translate to more speed for me. Thanks for such a detailed video!

    Great instructional video, as usual. I've seen you discuss this technique on your channel for the past few months. I'm glad to see how you put it all together in this one video.
    My friend and I played at the Biltmore Golf Course in Coral Gables this past weekend. I told him that I was working on just lowering the right arm to increase hand (or grip) speed. He picked up on that cue after playing several holes. So, he tried it out without telling me he was going to try it out. Instant baby draw (he normally plays a fade) and increased total distance by about 8 - 10 yards! In one instance, he hooked it a little more, but boy did it ever travel. I quickly noticed the difference. I asked him and he said I must have "subliminally" made him incorporate the technique.
    I must say this is unusual, though. It's not so easy that you'll just pick up this technique and your handicap will drop. You must work on it. Daily. Yes, daily. Get those neurons, dendrites, and axons to build upon and learn this new movement. It will be rewarding, I promise.
    Over the past few months, I've noticed increases in my irons--for example, my 8-iron normally goes about 147 in flight, I got it up to about 153. It's up to 158 when I tee it up and catch it flush. But, that's the thing, if you don't work on it, you won't get that 158-yard 8-iron shot all the time. Sometimes your swing is off a little bit and you might hit it thin, or you fade it rather than draw, or your driver has a more boring flight which causes less carry distance (although overall distance may increase due to roll out). Just keep working on it.
    Great video, gentlemen. I look forward to the next one. By the way, Granato's ability to explain things so clearly and his relaxingly soothing voice are what makes viewers focus and concentrate on the subject matter.

  • @thefishnmusician9667
    @thefishnmusician9667 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great videos as I an highly analytical and like to know the the how behind what to do. I find a lot of golf instruction on you tube tells you what you need to do however a totally different movement or trigger needs to happen to get something else to happen if that makes sense. Question 1) I am left handed and hit right so would I be at an advantage? I feel my left hand is dominant in generating the speed when I drop the club straight down behind me at least that is where my thought is during that transition. Question 2 is when I try to extend my right arm to create width it disturbs flow of the swing (i tighten up) however that extension of the right arm is what helps me keep my left arm straight, what can I do to still keep a left arm straight and remain fluid in my swing? What is your view on this?

    What an AMAZING video!!! You guys broke this down in a perfect way for me to understand how to pick up some speed. I would love to think I could swing as fast as the guys on tour but let's be realistic, I know that is not going to happen but I would be happy to get up to a FAST swing speed or close. I have next 2 months of winter hitting balls into the net in the basement to try and pick up some speed now that I understand a little more. I was trying to pick up speed with speed swings but wasn't going good so maybe together with this it might help.
    Again guys thanks for this top shelf video. Cheers✌️

    Gentlemen this is awesome!!! I think you guys nailed it with the movement of the right arm. As you said there is a lot of instruction on the Internet showing golfers to get the elbow driving in front of the rib cage which confused me and really never helped me with coming over the top and getting good ball contact. It just made me contort more with my body to square the club face and try to get good contact. It was way too inconsistent. THe elbow dropping like a yoyo and the arm extending or unfolding is a huge key. The only thing I would add that really helped me not to come over the top is that the shaft is still pointing back a little at the half way down point and you are unfolding to around the middle of your right foot if my observation is correct. I played on Sunday using these tips and it is the most consistent and best I have ever hit the ball with all my clubs. It gave me more and more confidence. The drill on how to get the club to a good position in the back swing is awesome too. This video is an absolute game changer for me. Thanks from Canada!!!!

    One thing that I was taught that changes the way I swing was imagining that I'm skipping a rock with my dominant hand.

But your video is the best I have seen and listened to, every golfer no matter what level can learn from. I must congratulate this as one of the best golf swing lessons I have seen keep it up like the movie the robot number 5, Input Input Input. And practice speed 80 % play speed 85 %. After all what do I know.

    Thanks for the "golden swing thought", of getting the trail side triceps close to parallel to the ground, during the backswing. I have some trail side shoulder issues that make this higher elbow move, impossible for me. I have tended to hug the trail side with the right elbow.
    Your video inspired me to try to find a very simple way, to keep the trail elbow away from the side, as much as possible, without deliberately lifting it and causing shoulder pain.
    I visualize a small weight hanging close to the bottom of the trail side triceps. This encourages the club to stay on plane during the backswing because the "heavy" triceps stays pointed towards the ground ( like the keel of a boat ) during the backswing.
    This produces an immediate 5 to 10 % clubhead speed ( faster with the shorter clubs ) when I release that feeling of weight during the downswing. I have a very simple swing mantra now...TWIST HEAVY...TWIST LIGHT. I like this tempo thought a lot, because increased swing speed is more a result of just " letting go" rather than jamming it.

    Milo lines just did a video addressing the same thing using the same(I assume) gears data that you guys use. His conclusion is that reversing the side bend at the beginning of the transition is what is helping shallow the club. He disputes the active lowering of the hands early in the down swing. In his comment section your name appears several times, even going as far to have a round table debate. Love for you to address the 2 opposing schools of thought using the same data.

    • @AthleticMotionGolf
      @AthleticMotionGolf  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the heads up. We haven’t seen the video but I can guarantee it’s not the same data. I know he doesn’t have a gears system, so I’m guessing he might have a copy of the software with a few tour player swings on it (RM, DJ, etc)? We’ve collected and worked with 70% of the players who’ve won those 400+ times on Tour. Some of those included players are in our dataset for our video, but there are MANY more players than those guys. That’s one of the reasons this video took so long to complete, we wanted a substantial dataset of Tour winners to draw from.
      Again, haven’t seen the video so this is only a response to your words… if the conclusion is “reversing the side bend” is the reason for shallowing then the lack of experience in using gears is having a big impact on that conclusion.

      @@AthleticMotionGolf Thanks for the quick reply. I just went and rewatched it. He used DJ, Rory, Sergio, and himself. He also talks about the right elbow increasing bend at the beginning of the transition because of "reversing the bend".I would assume though that the increase in bend at the beginning of the transition is from the momentum of the arms changing direction.

    That trail elbow reconnecting piece reminds me very much of the legendary Harvey Penick's "Magic Move" where the trail elbow reconnects with the body at the same time the raised left heel steps down and transfers weight to the lead side. Good stuff! Young guns like to think the golf swing is far more evolved these days, but there's way more in common, just explained in different terms.

    I like the way you broke this down in steps, for dummies like me, it really helps.
    Seems like a stretch band placed under the feet with some level of tension and held like a club between the hands while pivoting and extending the arms in the backswing could help drill this in and at the same time give you a core workout.

  • @markhuru
    @markhuru ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m convinced your right about positioning for speed in the swing although the problem is, the forces at impact are overlooked, a person can swing really fast but everything breaks down at impact, lag is really angular momentum, this helps the force of an “at rest” ball, come into action using mechanics more efficiently. When you think about a golf ball your trying to move a solid mass from 0 to 100 in a second.
    This may not seem like a lot but there is a substantial amount of effort, iron Byron is a great example and this is made of steel. The best golfers have to have great arm, forearm and hand strength to match the impact effect to the greater amounts of speed, again angular momentum timing at impact helps.

    Love your content AMG! Really takes away from my productivity at work too :) Question though - I have been working on mobility and can get my right arm in a decent position. However I have a helluva time connecting the left hand/arm across the body. Again, working on mobility but have a fairly broad chest and feels prohibitive in the front left shoulder/chest area. I must have been overswinging with the arms/hands because when I do the drills correctly it seems like my backswing is complete when hands are about shoulder height. How do I "stop" at that point? With the weight shift back to target before backswing complete? 🙏

      You are saying that the arm bend should be "no more than 90 deg". But the demonstration showed your arm bends more than 90 deg since we are supposed to push away the traling hand. Shouldn't the correct statement be "no less than 90 deg"?

    I love the "Kenny Perry" drill for right arm movement and the blender drill ya'll did a little bit ago. The latter has been a real eye opener for me. Doing things slow to reinforce the proper motion leads to speed. I think a big misconception from years ago was getting to parallel at the top. At least it was for me. I had such a deep long backswing I could see the clubhead out of the corner of my left eye at the top. I was athletic enough to make it work and hit it a ton. I caved the face in of my Titleist 975D for reference to speed. That was 25 years ago and like 60 pounds lighter....lol..getting older and heavier with poor technique has definitely robbed speed.

  • @MrMartwy

    It is really interesting. Kinda opposite I am doing.
    I do struggle with lifting right arm in the backswing - too much of "towel in armpits" drill...
    I've found a way to utilise my short arm move by hard pushing my elbow towards the target, creating catapult effect similar to skipping stones. Creates decent speed and in to out path.
    I also use strong left leg push to rotate pelvis - it fights the open face and closes the path a bit.
    With all this I can produce decent distances, like 200y with 5 iron, with quite decent accuracy.
    But those shots are exhausting...
    I have to try your approach.

    I’m beginning to think of the golf swing as a series of pressure points. Some people may consider this “feels”. Watching you guys non stop on almost all my free time. I’ve gathered that I never paid attention to where the club was in my hands. Started feeling it in the pad of my lead hand and trigger finger of the trail and it feels more controlled. Never paid attention to my feet or hips just turned them. Started to feel it less in the hips and more of the center of the pelvis i over rotated before. Never knew that the hips are open to the chest chest open to the shoulders those have helped so much

    The light bulb really went off for me when you discussed the right arm bend at the top of the backswing. I overbend my right arm probably due to flexibility issues in my right shoulder blade and left shoulder. This causes the dreaded pull down which in turn causes me to have to do the open and under move to get the club down to the ball.

    One thing I am wondering about and have seen mentioned only a couple times in your videos is the tray feeling of the right wrist. In the FOR The Player view at the top of the swing (from last video) the right wrist is extended pretty far back, what is the optimal windows you see for right wrist extension at top of the backswing?
    This drill here be seems like it could be complemented by a tray feeling, would that be a correct assumption? Or is arm/elbow position more important? I know you mentioned wrists bow/cupping/extension can vary greatly even with good swings.

  • @NCMirage257
    @NCMirage257 ปีที่แล้ว

    To confirm what they're saying here, through trial and error video work, I found out that when I initiated the downswing thinking of primarily "throwing" with my right hand / arm, that my lower body (hips, etc.) reacted in such a way to provide the proper weight shift without consciously thinking about it. Meanwhile, for years I tried to focus on "leading with the hips / lower body" with horrible results because the hands and arms would remain passive and get into terrible positions - I always heard don't throw or cast. Unfortunately what's often being taught are the wrong "feels" and "thoughts" and are thus impossible to execute. The golf swing is a weird motion where what you feel and see can be completely different. Good job breaking down many of the swing misconceptions.
