- Do you know if you are a puller or thrower of the golf swing. In this video Mike Dero made it simple to understand the difference between being a puller of thrower of the golf swing.

There's no one on the internet better at explaining golf than this dude. None of that technical mumbo jumbo.
C'mon man. Your scores haven't improved at all watching these videos.
i am 86 years old and been playing 62 years and have watched tons of you tube instruction. I have no idea if your video will help me but it is without a doubt the finest golf instruction I have ever seen. And I want to thank you so so so much. I really learned a lot from you. Take care my friend. Allen
I thought the same thing. I've seen 100s of videos by dozens of instructors, and this is the first time I've ever seen the swing described with so much clarity. I really like the way he doesn't prescribe a specific "correct" way.
I've watched lots of other guys but Mike is the only one who consistently WOWS me with how clearly and simply he explains things. If every golfer was required to watch Mike's videos before ever getting on a course, there would be no more 5 hour rounds waiting for guys to find their balls on every hole.
I can't believe after 20 years of playing and 5 of consuming youtube videos trying and failing to measurably improve, this is the first time I've ever heard of this.
Same here
I'm struggling between the two since I do not remember when. For the first time in my golfer life, 55 years, I understand the issue. I have no words to thank you properly. (from Roma, Italy)
I used to call it left vs. right hand-dominated swing and a bit confused to hear different instructions. This clearly explains the key differences and pros/cons.
Lifelong ‘puller’ here. I never understood the right hand ‘throwing’ idea as nobody explained there are two different types of swings. I just tried some right hand one armed drills with a Ben Hogan type right elbow (lower right elbow on downswing, forearm up, L shape like skipping a stone) and it’s a huge difference. This instruction/explanation really helps me understand how to put the two together. Thank you!
It’s the most precious video I’ve seen about golf. As a beginner I’m sometimes stuck in between these 2 swings and it’s a mess.
This makes a lot of sense to me, my golf pro has been coaching me too pull through the golf swing, but as I’m over 65 it’s a struggle, your throwing style makes an awful lot more sense and may hold a key to me finding some angles in the swing and increased speed through the ball. Really useful video thank you.
Wow!! What a great instructional video. I am 63 years of age, have been playing golf since I was 11 years old and had a hiatus of 35 years away from the game, as life got in the way and I have never thought, until now, which type of golfer I was - a puller or a thrower. I think you have sorted out my problem Mike!! I am certain that when I was in my teenage years and playing off single figure handicaps, I was definitely a puller. But now in my 60s, it has been very disturbing to me that I have never been able to get back that effortless, powerful swing I once had. And now I know why. I need to be a thrower. It makes so much sense. I have always loved Freddie Couples’ effortless swing but I never considered how he achieved it. Now I know!!! Thank you so much Mike. Brilliant instruction!! I can’t wait to get down on the range. Best regards from the Giant’s Causeway Coast of Northern Ireland. 😄👍⛳️☘️
I'm 75 and have been watching many U Tube "lessons" and was convinced that I had to change to the puller method or I could not compress the ball correctly. Ain't gonna happen with an old body. This completely cleared up this concept! Great explanation . Thanks
Brilliant explanation. I never considered them as 2 different approaches to hitting the ball. I can now concentrate on just one technique. Thank you
I see your one arm swing and cry.
Your 1 arm throwing is so pure compared to my 2 arms 2 legs 2 hips 2 shoulders 2 wrists all added together. I forgot there is also 1 chest involved.
Wish i can fly over a take a week long lesson from you.
Please keep it coming. You are the best.
I have been told since I started playing golf that I have to use my left hand.
Recently I have been thinking why on earth can I not use my right hand while I am a right handed person.
When I see this video, it confirms that I can use my right hand to throw the ball. The explanation is superb. I believe this is one of the best video about golf swing.
This has got to be one of the best vids on the golf swing Ive seen in a while.
Oh man , what a fantastic video-master-analize-class. I mean I never thought about that . what clarity of ideas. Why , after so many teachers and videos , for so many years , nobody, I say , nobody told me that. I am very grateful about that. I am in my 55 and I have been trying to be a puller all my live, when i tried the other swing people told me , this swing was poor and i will not be able to improve. Oh my godness , I am so happy today. thanks again sir.
When I was much younger, I played very well . . . carried a 2-hdcp through my 20s. Now I'm almost 80 and getting back to golf after a 23-year layoff. Your video just made me realize I've been a thrower, sometimes trying to be a puller because I thought that's what the best players do. Watching your video several times and watching Fred Couples about a thousand times has made it clear to me that a smooth, effortless, throwing-type swing will reap bountiful rewards on the course, for ME, when I finally get out and play. Thanks so much for explaining the difference and clarifying that it's "OK" to throw.
I've followed many TH-cam golf channels- came upon yours inadvertently- I feel you offer the best and most useful information of all- please keep posting-thanks!
Be real . Your scores haven't improved one iota since watching this video.
One of the BEST golf videos I’ve ever seen‼️🏆
First time I heard that in my entire life, That's a great way to understand few more things about our swing. Thank you very much!
This is why its so important to take golf lessons from someone who teaches your golf swing style. also why there are so many contradictions in instructions. I am a Thrower and my game has improved 100% as I am a senior. The puller style will mess up your body if you are not fit and young to swing like that. NIce to see a video that explains the differences so clearly.
Very good point. That should be the number 1, 1st thing the instructor should determine, then give you the proper tips for you. If your instructor is a Puller you are a Thrower, he will mess up your game
I’ve seen countless golf video’s. Every once and a while you come across a concept that has not been explained. This one is a in that category, really well done.
Awesome video- I have never heard of these two types- I’m definitely a thrower
The throw method is definitely easier on the body and is good for “feel” because we do everything every day with ours hands, BUT the pull method using the whole body to move the club is more consistent in regards to club face alignment at impact, ONCE you figure out the sequence of motions to end up with a square face at impact. The throw method creates more clubface inconsistency at impact but is simpler and easier to get some kind of reasonable results.
Great explanation video though!!!
Oh. My!! That's why I'm struggling with my waist back pain. I started learning golf from mid 40s but my teacher make me learn Puller's swing. I realized it was wrong after my waist already broken so I was changing my swing into easy one from a year ago. That was thrower in this video. Maybe Hitter or Swinger would be the similiar expression. Thanks for this video!!
This is one of the best explanation i ever seen. Love it . Thanks
I was a puller. Just 10 yards off Dan Pohl’s 274 of -I forget what year- PGA record year.
At 63, I overhauled my swing to the Mike Austin method but even just before, I started to think why let my clumsy left control the clubhead.
MA throws with the right. But also flings a frisbee with the left. Hogan said he wanted three right hands. Bobby said left arm control but studying his videos, I detect a powerful right hand release.
I’m all about right hand control in this ageless debate. Austin saw Tiger at his Masters debut and said that his body won’t last; sure enough, Tiger’s body is wrecked. Austin was hitting 300+ through his 70s until his stroke.
Great video, btw and thanks.
One of the best explanation of the golf swing I ever watched 👏🏾👏🏾
This is the coolest golf video I’ve ever seen and I can’t believe you hit the ball like that with one arm
I agree with the comment that Jim Hardy's book The Plane Truth is a good reference. He talks about RIT and LOP
Right inside throw and Left outside pull as 2 methods to swing and shows examples of Tour Players that swing those different ways. Thanks for the great video it was very clear and helpful!
Standing on one leg and hitting the ball with the right arm at 4:42 is pretty damn impressive. Great video.
Great video. I should be a thrower, but am a puller. At one time I switched to throwing and increased my driving by 50+ yards and irons by 20+ yards. The only problem was I didn’t know what had changed. My swing thought was stay behind the ball. Eventually because I didn’t understand I turned into a puller and all my new found distance left me. THANKS.
What a fantastic bit of information. Thanks!!
That was a great lesson!
Thank you sir for this unique and helpful teaching!
This explains a lot. Many thanks Mike!!
Very interesting!! Thanks. I need to go out and try the both methods to see.👍👍
You make this look so easy!
Wow! Great description. Thanks!
Nice synopsis of the swing types. Thanks.
Wow, I have never thought in these terms at all. Very, very interesting. Thank you.
What a great explanation. Thank you
Very useful explanation. I'm definitely a puller but It clears up some questions I've had about the way certain players can hit the ball the way they do. So thank you
Learning to pull catch and throw is how I swing, went from 110 to 80 in one year so honestly not sure if it a combo of these two or not but that is how it feels, self taught
Well explained and demonstrated
The best explanation and demonstration on U-tube. Thank U very, very much,
Thank you sir your explanation is right on!
Wow. I've never heard that! Awesome! Helps me!
Amazing explanation!
Best advise I’ve heard in a long time!
It's a very in-depth explanation and never saw any other channels who talk about it. Thanks for your great video.
Steve Pratt and Mike Austin was the originator of the Throw.
Wow. This explains alot in my swing right now
This is the holy Grail for me. I am off to the practice range tomorrow to try just that. Thanks.
Love this video, I seem to be doing both but this makes so much sense
This is one of the best golf coach video I have seen in TH-cam 🤙🏼
Wow...thank you! My best range sessions and rounds of play I've felt that I was effortlessly throwing the clubhead at the ball. But have never been able to determine what lessons apply to my swing. This has cleared things up in my mind immensely!
Absolutely brillant 👏👏👏
Throwing is so much more efficient. I started golf as a puller until I learned about throwing. The problem is that I was using pulling fundamentals while throwing.
You said it..........clearly, quıckly and simply........pull versus throw and different swing (and sometimes different people-golfers). I have trained many and muted the concept but you have made the best explanation. Appreciated!!
5 months ago I came across this vidio and have gone thru many iterations of self analysis and arrived at this conclusion. i am 1 part puller and 1 part thrower where the thrower acts like puller and vice versa.
i want to thank you for showing me the differences between the two. it really is an eye opener for me.
i have decided that i am a thrower and will revisit this lesson over and over again.
please take care and stay healthy.
Great analysis
Never heard this before but makes total sense!
Nice simple instruction. Best thing you said in this video. 3:23 "Theres no perfect method".
great video also. thnx.
Game changer!!! I love this video it makes perfect sense I understanding if you are a puller or a thrower..
Best explanation ever of the swing!
This is great. I feel like I am somewhere in between which causes confusion so maybe just picking one of these "feels" and sticking to it will help
Sure many golfers unaware of this info. Thanks much, loved it.
super clear and nteresting
Love this video
Really eye opening, would love to see you do pull swing with right arm and throw with left arm, that would be worth watching. Very illuminating. Thank you.
great instruction
The first time I heard this and thank you!
Good explanation. I've always thought of it as being left sided swinger versus being a right sided swinger.
Thank you! Started as a junior player pulling every swing but now nearing 60 It just hurts my body. About time to just throw and be good in my short game. Thanks again
This is the best golf video there is.
A great video, and you're the first person I've seen address this. Please do a follow-up video for us 3rd type players, the "hit n hopers." (;
Mike ! Thanks!
Fantastic!
I have always been puller. Definetly going switch throwing next summer.
An excellent video. Viewers will find the book; The Release; golfs moment of truth, very interesting and supportive of Mike's presentation.
Really interesting!
Very interesting, many top Golf schools advocate one over the, moving in and out of 2 concepts or using tips for one and moving the body or arms in opposite concept is main source of so much confusion. Some instructors saw left arm is not a Puller”, others suggest you must pull and rotate left. Thanks for basic concept that certainly clarified my dilemma. 👍
I’m a low handicapped and I’ve watched a few of these videos. He has content that is good for advance golfers.
Great advice from someone with the perspective.
Would be great if people starting out in golf were given this choice to make. Then they would know which instruction was right for them.
For instance,it’s no good being a natural thrower and then be told you need to get as open as possible at impact.
If I were to go practice one hand shots I’d hurt somebody on the range. But glad I found this video. My best round my only swing thought was throwing the club. Had a couple surgeries since and can’t find it again but now I understand because I’m winding up the pull which my former swing coach teaches. Hope this helps. Looking forward to hitting the range again…with 2 hands in club though.
Great video
wow - it is fun to watch you hit one handed shots - nice timing, smoooooth, I"m 76 and clearly throwing works the best for me. thanks.
i used to be a thrower for years but i've gone to more of a pivot driven swing and now i'm a puller. i'm left handed but golf righty so i'm very dominant with my left side but i still have a lot of feeling in my right hand and left so the clubface is square coming through but like you say i have to guard against a pull.
Mike, how does this concept of being a "puller" or a "thrower" square with the concepts you've talked about from David Lee in Gravity Golf? It seems like you'd have to be a "thrower" to be tension free. Is that right? Also, what concepts from Gravity Golf do you agree with and how have you adapted those into your teaching? Thanks for your help!
I would be curious to know what I should ingrain in my swing as a "Thrower" and what I should avoid.
great video! I want to start throwing
As a senior, throwing is so much easier on one's old body
Excellent. Always been a thrower!
Thank you thank thank you. That was crystal clear! All this time I’ve been trying to be both a thrower and a puller, a hybrid, and not understanding what was happening. I’m a thrower! Yes!!
The gentlemen that still has the longest sanctioned drive in the world 1973. Says both are required for the highest achievement. Mike Austin. Look him up. This videos has great points. But Mike Austin is the bomb.
I'm so happy to have clicked on this video. I feel like my body moves like a puller but my arms & hands work better & more reliably as a thrower.
Great video. So how do I tell which one I am? Whichever way I can hit better with one arm?
Thank you truly, this explains a lot. I've been golfing for less than a year and at the beginning, I would usually hook the ball on misses but I was fairly consistent and it felt natural. In the pursuit of more speed and and fixing my hook, I learned a completely different swing, which frankly still doesn't feel natural to me and I've started hitting slices now on my misses, but when I do hit it well, it goes really far. Looking back, it was probably a mistake and I would like my old swing back but I had no idea how I actually swung it when I just did it naturally. Now at least I have some pointers.
A really useful and interesting video. I think I am right in saying it is aligned with Homer Kelley's book that draws a distinction between 'swingers and hitters'. This is the only video I've ever seen that highlights the difference.
If it hasn't already been done, a follow up on hand position at impact would be good. I'm sure a lot of people will be confused by pictures of pros with their left wrists bowed forward at impact. Very difficult if you are a thrower.
This really helped! I've been trying to be a puller but realized I'm already comfortable and doing the thrower style so I'm going to stick with that and refine it. Thanks!
Bull crap. These videos haven't helped one iota.
