Swing has changed over last 3 months, I think I finally understand this swing concept now. My swing now feels like a whipping action and is becoming consistent. I am smashing irons and driver is coming also. This is down to Russell's videos, nothing else, didn't do lessons, just watched Russell's videos and tried different things from them. Thank you again 👍
Your technique is a good testament of hitting the ball farther with less effort. Most of these golf instructors are always talking about body rotation for faster golf swing speed which I believed is not beneficial for senior golfers. I've been doing your technique 10yrs ago and still hitting my 7 iron 150yds. By the way, I'm 68 yrs old.
Great video. Put the whip concept in play today and really helped my consistency and power. Need to combine whip with a side bend and back arch with belt buckle facing above the target. Maybe you could talk about that in a future video. Thanks
Yes a lot of instruction is all about the backswing,good to focus on the object of the swing the target.I am sure your videos are helping us in different ways mine was the position of the right foot outwards.Thanks for your endeavors!
Awesome video, just what I need right now!! I need to whoosh right to maintain width on my follow through. I have an in to in path. Would really like to to in to out more naturally with extended arms. If you have any other videos to help with this, please link me!
Russell, what do you think? I try to think of the clubhead rising quickly after impact to over my left shoulder. If I don’t do this I will hold off the release like a baseball check swing and my finish will be stunted. You are a fine instructor, thanks.
Russell, what do you mean by “massively” using the hands? Could you explain your thinking, ie are you pulling your hands down, or throwing your hands etc?
I watched this video last night. Over the years I’ve lost distance and was afraid I’d never find it again. I shot 74 today, 8 strokes better than my handicap. Thanks!
This is what exactly what happens to me. I practice with a slow or short swing which produces decent shots be them short in length. However as soon as I try to speed up my swing to gain distance it all goes pear shaped. So it’s as though this video was aimed directly at me. Going to try this drill for sure
A good sequel to your fantastic exaggerated impact drill/feel, just as the water bottle is a good, and much needed, prequel to it. My problems with it are that I need to focus consciously on keeping the left shoulder down again when I do it, and that the hit is now more inconsistent and often toe-y. Also, I am still struggling to get my hips forward, head up/chin off chest, spine and arms extended post impact and into the finish without hooking it. Any suggestions?
as always great content and well put across. In a previous lesson your wife was using what I would describe as a ball in a tube to learn how to have an efficient swing, what was that training aid.
I think you’re called Russell. Yeah good positive video. So many metaphors it’s practice. I will cock shots up I always will but improvement is in the mind. Thanks
Russ I was doing one of your drills tonight to drive the right elbow and the contact was great but the ball was coming out quite low? Will more rotation stop this?
3:02 - Alien invasion detected, but Russell's golf game is so good, a little green martian can't rattle him, so they decide to send in back-up (3:19), thinking, for sure we got'em now! But nope, Russell is so confident that his game will repel these little green martians, he just goes about his business, basically taunting them - hahaha!
Does the club head follow the bodies rotation in the downswing and follow through? That is, inside, square and inside. Thanks. I want one of those mowers.
When I work on something similar to this like getting my right elbow in front of my right hip I tend to shank the ball even if I don't early extend. Any ideas?
I started playing well But started getting golfers elbow Too much force towards ball Right straight elbow coming down over and over with hardly no whip.. I need to learn to get wrists looser
This is great...but I discovered a bit of a different methodology....which also requires wrist cock. So at the top, we agree...but here's a little different thought from the top: the right elbow remains connected to the right side and basically the shoulders, arms and hands "freeze" as the coil unwinds starting with the left hip turn. This "freezing" of position remains, especially the right elbow position, as the turn accelerates down the line. Finally, roughly at the time the shaft becomes parallel to the ground, the wrists release. This approach makes the "lag" practically automatic...and ensures everything is connected from the top on down. Same concept as the video...but a mechanical swing approach that may help others. Personally, I added 1-1/2 clubs to every club in my bag and more like 25 yards with my driver. The hardest part was learning to club down and trust it.
Here is the problem, to really whip it through, people, like me, will cup the left wrist in order to really get that whipping action. This leaves the club face open and the ball goes all over the place. It is counterintuitive to try and whip the club through while at the same time keeping a flexed left wrist. Because a flexed wrist (the opposite of cupped) has far less mobility.
I learn a lot of your lessons, thankss, but sometimes your explanation is a little to fast for me 😊. When I try to swing faster i find difficult to get the right balance.
Hi Miranda I take extensive notes from Russell’s videos-virtually word for word. I just pause the video until my notes are complete and then resume playing it Trust this helps
Clear and easy to understand. Russel is the best golf instructor on youtube in my opinion.

Cheers Russell, I'm a caster and want to hit the ball further straighter and more consistently. Your videos are so much clearer and helpful than some!

At 3:21, you gotta bomb the ball cart picker upper! Great vid.
Finally someone actually tells someone , this is the key everyone
Wel done, Russell! There are too many golfers out there you think they have to swing slow to succeed. I will share this vid with them.
Great video. Put the whip concept in play today and really helped my consistency and power. Need to combine whip with a side bend and back arch with belt buckle facing above the target. Maybe you could talk about that in a future video. Thanks

Another fabulous lesson. I have to view them at least twice to keep up, so much info and my age. Will try this tomorrow. On the journey.
Another brilliant vid and brief to the point! Thanks!
Wow, was that a space ship landing!!!😀
Great lesson! I for real though the ball collectors were going to crash @3:26
Neat drill and great explanation and a good reminder for me which I will be taking with me to the course tomorrow - thanks Russell
Very good lesson. I don't get a great turn as I get older but this helps make up for it.
Really appreciate the shorter format, more concise videos. Thanks!
I need to work on this. I always throw the club pretty much at the start of the swing as I used to swing with no hip rotation.
Give it a go let us know how it goes
Hi Russell,tried it,love it ,got,it,brilliant,brilliant,brilliant,absolutely bloody brilliantly done and explained.As always stay safe stay well,straight drives 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome video, just what I need right now!! I need to whoosh right to maintain width on my follow through. I have an in to in path. Would really like to to in to out more naturally with extended arms. If you have any other videos to help with this, please link me!
Can you do a video on rear shoulder external rotation, seems to be important in my swing. Need confirmation. thanks.
great content!
Russell, what do you think? I try to think of the clubhead rising quickly after impact to over my left shoulder. If I don’t do this I will hold off the release like a baseball check swing and my finish will be stunted. You are a fine instructor, thanks.
I often try to whip at the end of the downswing and wasn’t sure if this was correct or not. Great lesson, thank you.
Maybe a video on "why my 3/4 swing goes further than my full swing"
I like these short and sweet videos, cheers
Great video. Swishing sound to the left!
Russell, what do you mean by “massively” using the hands? Could you explain your thinking, ie are you pulling your hands down, or throwing your hands etc?
I watched this video last night. Over the years I’ve lost distance and was afraid I’d never find it again. I shot 74 today, 8 strokes better than my handicap. Thanks!
Simple guide to making a swish 👍
This is a great addition to my routine. I’m guilty of the rehearsal mentality. Time to let it go :)

Nice tip Russell

Any suggestions?
Try to do more natural drills like the step in drill, the would normally corporate all and the above
as always great content and well put across. In a previous lesson your wife was using what I would describe as a ball in a tube to learn how to have an efficient swing, what was that training aid.
The impact snap
Excellent video , thanks , greetings from Colombia .
Are those autonomous golf ball pickers on the golf range behind you?
Yes they are
Whar about right hand and arm please..?
Great, thanks!
I think you’re called Russell. Yeah good positive video. So many metaphors it’s practice. I will cock shots up I always will but improvement is in the mind. Thanks
Russ I was doing one of your drills tonight to drive the right elbow and the contact was great but the ball was coming out quite low? Will more rotation stop this?
Try putting the ball a bit closer to your front foot. A ball that is close to your back foot in your stance will cause a lower ball flight.

I whip the club, but sometimes can thin or top it timing really needs to be spot on but the ball goes a mile and it looks effortless
Hi Russell, is there anyway to send you a shot of my swing for some advice?
Never heard anyone explaining the difference between this release pattern and flipping, it seems like its a fine line
I don't know why, but the droid appearing in the background with you oblivious to it is very amusing. 😆
Does the club head follow the bodies rotation in the downswing and follow through? That is, inside, square and inside. Thanks. I want one of those mowers.
When I work on something similar to this like getting my right elbow in front of my right hip I tend to shank the ball even if I don't early extend. Any ideas?
A lack of rotational movement
@@russellheritagegolf Thanks.
I started playing well
But started getting golfers elbow
Too much force towards ball
Right straight elbow coming down over and over with hardly no whip..
I need to learn to get wrists looser
We just gunna ignore the green Landspeeders in the background? 😏 🚙 💨
This was my problem my left wrist would hurt because i was flicking my wrist over. I now have my left wrist turned back
This is great...but I discovered a bit of a different methodology....which also requires wrist cock. So at the top, we agree...but here's a little different thought from the top: the right elbow remains connected to the right side and basically the shoulders, arms and hands "freeze" as the coil unwinds starting with the left hip turn.

Love it..always plain, short and simple explanation..videos above 10min always turn me off
What the hell were the two things going by at about 3.20
Is flipping caused by uncocking too early or not letting it go?
More likely a transition lack of rotation problem?
Here is the problem, to really whip it through, people, like me, will cup the left wrist in order to really get that whipping action.

Hi Miranda I take extensive notes from Russell’s videos-virtually word for word. I just pause the video until my notes are complete and then resume playing it Trust this helps
When I try to whip the club I get a crazy slice :(
Are those robot ball collectors?
yes!
I've never seen that before either!
Yeah 👍
I believe you are wrong think of fly fishing the speed is at the snap way behind and the sudden stop at the end.
Jack Nicklaus said he wanted his hands to beat the buttons of his shirt to the ball. Do your research Sir. Respectfully.
Did he say anything that was contrary to Nicklaus' statement?
I need a proper takeaway. What video is best to see a proper takeaway from you.
This is the first time I’ve listen to someone speaks for almost 5:00 minutes and still don’t have a clue to what the fuck they were trying to say.🥹
