    I've finally figured out how to shallow the shaft after viewing one of your more recent videos about the angle of the trail arm. You correctly point out with visual evidence that the trail elbow loses flexion early in the downswing. By keeping that angle fixed at 90, it guarantees that an OTT move will be necessary in order to strike the ball. But by beginning to extend the arm, the shaft automatically lowers while the clubhead stays behind the golfer. I've heard the advice " pretend you are pulling an arrow from a quiver on your back" to describe the feeling. I suppose golfers who feel they are ringing a bell have the same feel. But it's not a direct downward move. The handle moves away from the target, widening the swing. At some point the torso begins to turn while being pulled by the hips, but by now the shaft has shallowed to the point that the clubhead moves from inside the target line at the ball. A benefit is that the trail wrist increases its extension and the lead wrist bows, all without conscious effort, which squares the club face. I'm sure other things are happening but this is the essence. Probably really good golfers learned to swing like this, while I and the 99% of the world who swing OTT have always started the swing with shoulders turning and kept our trail elbow flexed all the way down. Am I off base in this description? I'm getting good results.

  • @steveperryman8102
    @steveperryman8102 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Drills are so important. A common misconception is that the spinal chord is some sort of "passive" cable, but in fact with repetition it develops a repertoire of its own! Neuro-muscular loops develop with repetition over time that eventually enable complex coordinated ballistic actions to be executed with minimal input from the brain. These are what make the act of balance and complex skills like the playing of musical instruments possible. Many may have heard of the swimming frog with its brain removed or the articulating limbs of a beheaded chicken? So there's no short cut to practice, practice, practice .....
    The very same nurture of movement makes a change in a deeply grooved movement pattern difficult, so getting it right in the first place is so important. This is what makes AMG stuff so good. Clearly defined movement patterns based on good data. I would go as far as to say some of the stuff in these videos amounts to THE definitive handbook of the full swing. Homer Kelly would have loved to watch some of these videos and Mac O'Grady is possibly embarrassed by some of the stuff. We now have a breakdown of good mechanics thanks to AMG and in conjunction with some of the pressure sensor work being done a new insight into the optimal golf swing is in reach. "Movement" follows "pressure"; there's a little to be worked out still in terms of pressure (or lack of it) between some of the linkages from the ground to the hands, but those fortunate enough to have these tools can use them to zone in on the correct pressure patterns to fire the ballistic sequence of the golf swing most efficiently.
    I guess it all becomes moot when we consider the short game. The full swing is body propulsive , but the short game swings are largely body reactive in my opinion, which allows manipulations, nuances and better control of distance and trajectory.
    As I've stated before, it's a pleasure watching these video being so eloquently conveyed by Mike and Shaun. I can't help but be analytical about so many things (my problem as a former engineer and software analyst) and that includes noticing the wonderful production values displayed in these videos too.
    Apologies for such a long post!😢

  • @gdg9962
    @gdg9962 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love your work. Some of the most thoughtful and helpful content available, both here and on your site. In this piece you commend a player whose hands move directly to the ball from the top, but in other very helpful pieces on shallowing you use GEARS to show that hand path actually drops straight down the spine angle and doesn't start coming forward to the ball until a bit later when the body turn brings hands around in the blending process. As they fall, the wrists and forearms are responsible for maintaining the angle of the shaft just outside the ball. That explanation was an epiphany, but I don't see how it squares with comments here to "make a B-line to the ball with your hands from the top." Seems that I"ve spent years doing that and coming over the top. I'm eager to learn more. Thanks for all your wonderful videos.

  • @mattjaworski-cwcscleagueco395
    @mattjaworski-cwcscleagueco395 ปีที่แล้ว

    Gentlemen: Wow - blowing my mind. Exactly what I needed to see...
    Question: There are players who start steep and end steep but are on plane, and there are players who start steep and end shallow. Is it more important to maintain your plane (even if it's steep back and through) or more important to change planes to shallow to ball on downswing?
    I ask for this reason. I've been playing for 4 years and have taken ~25 lessons. I practice my butt off and will continue to do so. With my 9i, for instance - without a ball, my teacher has noted that my swing looks great; as soon as a ball is in front of me though, I come in very steep, generally creating (as a righty) a side spin axis that illustrates an outside/in swing. My instructor is helping get me to reverse that side spin axis to illustrate inside/out path. Once the ball is in front of me, I'm steep - but take the ball away the next shot, and I'm shallower. He's using a lot of great drills and tips, but I can't get shallow. Of course, as the clubs get longer, this becomes more pronounced.
    Any recommendations that can help me with this challenge? I'm determined and always willing to put in the time, but I'm at a loss for why this is happening and it's starting to get in my head.
    Thanks very much!
    MJ

  • @JS-ft3ux
    @JS-ft3ux ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes, your split hands drill has the same look and feeling as a hockey slap shot. The big difference is in a slap shot your stick blade hits the ice just behind the puck, flexes (loads) the shaft and rebounds into the puck where in golf you hit the ball first. You also have to square your hockey stick blade at impact and the slap shot follow through is also very similar in concept to the golf swing follow through. I would love to see a visual progression comparison of a hockey slap shot, the split hand drill and a pro’s iron swing. I will be using this visual from now on. Great drill and video.

    Hey guys keep the great videos coming. I was wondering if you could get gears to give us a measurement on the rotation of the lead arm about the shoulder joint. I’m talking if you put your arm out in front of you palm facing the sky and rotated it about the shoulder joint so that it was facing the floor (possibly pronation?). Looking at my swing I feel as though this could be something I am missing to help me shallow the club. The measurement are such an insightful metric for all us golfers to see.

I have been studying the game a lot the past 4 years since I picked it up, trying to shallow the club for a while. And I noticed probably from one of your videos as well that most of us that struggle shallowing the club are way too laid off on the backswing so there is no where to go than shallow to steep. I have been working a lot with my coach this winter and I really feel that the swing changes are taking effect. Breaking 90 regularly now and if the course and conditions are right I might break 80 this season after not being able to break 90 the past 4 years.

In a interview he claims to have been "later" than most guys pushing off his right side, causing havoc in his back and no doubt was an injury just waiting to happen. He has since rectified that problem and hopefully has a stellar '23 season. My question is what did he mean by being late pushing off his right side,, is that why his right knee points out so much releasing the club?

    Hi guys...could use a little clarification please... at the 11:18 mark Shaun demonstrates an incorrect "over the top" type of movement... I struggle with the left shoulder down and around movement .....to me that looks a little like left shoulder down and around.....thoughts, please and maybe reiterate why the left shoulder down initial movement is important..thx

    Hey guys I’m a 70 year old golfer and a lot of your training points to the reverse C position the moment of impact which is really hard on the body at my age I really try to stay away from that I try to do everything you guys recommend but I cannot hold that reverse see it’s just dangerous to this old guy I’m still working and I still got good club speed but I can’t get to that position if you could talk about a variation

    Gentlemen, I saw a clip on instagram from a teacher who I know you guys respect and have actually had him on a few of your videos. He was showing a drill where from the top you ulner deviate while flexing the left wrist to help shallow the club. Is this something that you guys would find necessary? I know ulner deviation has to happen in the downswing anyways when your releasing angles. Just curious on your thoughts.

    Hey guys, can you talk about the hand and club path and how they are supposed to move from the Top of the backswing To L arm parallel? From L arm parallel-Down as talked about in the video is the juicy middle, but a lot of ams. get “off the rails” way before then in that period and space from the top-down to L arm parallel and are already too far gone to implement what you talk about in the video. For example, I start the downswing by opening and rotating my shoulders too much too early and push the hands and club Out and OTT toward the ball and then it’s all FUBARED from there. What is the feel for the hands & club from the top to L arm parallel? In the videos of the pros you used it looks like the hands & club just sort of stay suspended in place up and back as the hips start to rotate. How is that even possible and how are us mere mortals even supposed to accomplish that?! 🙏!!

    A slight shallowing in the downswing by good ball strikers is the product of athletic skill/motion! Yes a good sequenced backswing can improve your chances ,but if you cant throw a ball fast and accurately,(have you ever won a coconut!) or serve at tennis then its highly unlikely youre going to achieve this! But if youve been a good sports player and still struggle at golf these guys can get you striking a golf ball like you know you should be!

    • @MichaelShinosky
      @MichaelShinosky 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Honestly just keep doing it. There is no set time in my opinion. Keep practicing that move in practice and during play. Then one day in the near future it will click. And when it does - you ride that feeling for as long as possible until you find yourself outside the middle of the window on the other side of the spectrum. Then you start using a drill that does the opposite of what you first worked on. Until you find that wave and ride it again. Some people pick it up fast while others take a longer time to get there. It is my contention that the ones who get there slower, stay in the middle of the window longer while the ones who pick it up quicker get out of the middle of the window faster.
      I myself am generally a faster learner and find myself of the opposite sides on the middle of the window often. But this also allows me to work the ball both ways because I'm familiar with both sides of the window. Some days it's easier to fade it than draw it and other days vice versa.
      I found something with my right arm on the backside the other day that helped with getting a tad bit shallower. Started honing in on it and yesterday I was in the middle of the window. Shot 64.

    both Collin and Justin bow their left wrist nicely at impact. Collin bows his on the backswing Justin bows his after transition. They both allow for good forward shaft lean at impact, but how does one get their wrist in the bowed condition. I am totally right side dominant and my feel would have to be with my right hand. Please comment.

      A bowed wrist is not necessary for a great swing or shaft lean at impact. A flat left wrist works too.

    I don't understand how the elbow plane works since it doesn't match address shaft angle. Is it because everything is oriented out to the right and from the inside so it looks steeper from 2d behind the player/ball? I've NEVER understood how that works. If not can you do a video to explain, as I'm certain I'm not the only one..lol

    Great video and some great tips on a very common swing fault in most amateur swings. Couple of points/questions :
    1) thanks for confirming that actually extending right arm will automatically lower arms down ie you don’t need to shove arms down. I think this is a subtle but important point because it means you increase/maintain width at same time
    2) I suspect the majority of steep downswings are caused by incorrect shoulder movement ie right shoulder being shoved out to the ball too quickly.
    My theory is that a lot of the time this is due to incorrect hip tilt ie if hips rotate too flat then shoulders will also rotate too flat (ie go out towards the ball rather than down) whereas more hip tilt will promote a steeper shoulder turn which in turn will encourage a shallowing move provided you bring down arms?

    You indicate that the club does not drop behind but you need to analyse the fact that when the pros squat into the downswing the only way that keep the club path constant is for the arms and wrists to drop the club behind the angle of the body.
