Something you don’t mention but I can see that you do as you swing the club: I see your feet working as you shift your weight in concert with swinging the arm(s). I’ve been doing these one arm drills for a couple of years and found that feeling my weight shift in my feet while doing these drills can significantly improve and ingrain synchronizing the arm swing with the pivot (turn-shift-turn). I never swing a club without feeling the pivot in my feet, no matter how small of a swing I do.
You guys do an incredible job of explaining various things in the golf swing. Been playing for 20 years, hdcp fluctuates between 3-8...in a constant state of striving to improve... and I love your videos. Thanks and Keep them coming!
Only recently come accross your chanel. I’ve played golf for over 40 years and seen hundreds of TH-cam videos but you two are the best instructors I’ve come accross. Matching your body and arm action is one of the fundamentals of golf. Thank you guys👏
I've been a 1.2 , struggling to keep a 9.5 now. Loved this video for the mere fact I have been over swing the clubs. I'm still a great putter, but am now once again, at age 67, looking forward to playing the next few tournaments with my buddies. Much thanks.
So many teachers want to take out the right arm/hand saying left hand is the control. I always strugled with that i do everything in life right handed. Love the show thanks..
Your video is a perfect example that shows my point of view of why and how I swing my golf club. To start with: The axis of our golf swing in not our spine or sternal notch as been repeatedly said over the years. In truth the axis of our swing is shared by the two stabilized scapula bones that must move opposite of the other as we are swinging our club back and forth. To explain a little further the humerus bones of our upper arms are the only levers that moves our stabilized scapulas the opposite direction of each other. Our shoulders sockets or scapula should never be allowed to move independently of our swinging with our alternating upper arms swinging our golf club as they will move every which way and loose causing especially the dreaded over the top move Believe it or not! Golf is truly 1percent action on our part and 99 percent reaction on our body’s part. To execute a perfect golf swing as we are set up to our neutral square golf posture. All we need to do is alternate with the swinging motion of our UPPER ARMS. For our backswing we simply swing with our ´trail upper arm’ to the top of our swing and let our entire body including all the hinges and appendages of our body to react naturally and then on the downswing we simply swing with our lead ‘ upper arm’ all the way to the finish of our classic swing. Our ball simply gets in the way. At age 73 I discovered this perfect swing and I invite anyone to discover it for themselves. You might think I am crazy telling you this; but anyone would be crazy not to at least try it once without a golf club then with a golf club and see for themselves the magic of their new swing happen. Cheers
Discovered your website perhaps 2-3 months ago. ALL of your videos are superb, and well-articulated. This might be the most impactful one for me, as I took it to my mat in the backyard,,, and everything clicked. FINALLY! Balls are poppin’ off my 7 iron.... Thank you!!!
I play a TON of golf each year and right around the mid-summer months I tend to develop a case of the dreaded "sh**ks" and feel like I cannot remember how to swing the club around my body. Most of my fixes you address in this video. Time and patience are two factors that I also employ to fix my ailing swing! Good stuff as always gents!
This is such a great video! It explains and demonstrates so simply and clearly the essential big movements of the golf swing. As a British PGA Advanced Fellow Professional I use it all the time with my Clients and recommend it to all golfers to review.
Hi Gentlemen In this video using the single arm swing, what is the purpose of putting the opposite arm on the shoulder? Please expand on the why you do this. I absolutely love your explanations and the demonstrations in your teachings of the ams and body synch. You are miles ahead of the rest! Thank you. Jerry
Without it we noticed golfer won’t rotate and just use the arm to move the club. Putting the hand on the shoulder forces the body to be involved more when doing single-armed drills👍 Thanks for the kind words🙏🏻
It's really funny you guys posted this video yesterday. I played on Sunday and was struggling, but went back to some basic swing thoughts to get me back on track. I had seen a video of Mike Malaska doing the exact same thing Sean does in this video...one armed swings hinging and unhinging the club...a few weeks ago. It helps relax the body (especially the arms and shoulders), and helps me focus on what's most important. I immediately started contacting the ball more crisply. I do pull/hook the ball a bit more when I do this, but that's just a matter of proper timing and more practice. Thanks as always for the excellent video :)
drills are great, i get to drifty, handsy, sway, etc....really helps you feel the actual motion...staying more centered and natural hing makes for consistency and simple power
After trying many different swing thoughts from different coaches and videos, I am going to focus on these drills and arm positions as they make so much sense, here goes (Wayne from England)
Love your videos, THANK YOU. Trying to fight the old habit of flipping inside on way back and over the top outside to in as a result of years of bad habits. Synchronization drills will help a lot.
I would like to see a video on all the weight moves to your left heel in the downswingI've been really working hard on getting my left hip turnedbehind me in the downswing and trying to feel my weight on my left heel at impact. Thanks in advance
Athletic Motion Golf, I would like to be more consistent and more accurate with my approach. I do have a tendency to hook the ball. I rarely slice the ball.
You guys are the best out there, please keep it up. One question related to this episode: OK, arms and body need to marry up, connected and in sync. But to achieve this, is it arms/hands leading the hips and shoulders (and they react in support)? Or is it the body pivot leading the hands/arms (and they come along for the ride)? I learned the latter growing up a la Hogan and many others, and it seems to me most pros still follow this school. But many others are now teaching the former, and so I'm confused. I think I like the arms-dominant approach taught by Manuel de la Torre and now many others. What's the problem? Is it a trade-off of accuracy and consistency with distance and power?
Would you please be able to do a video on match your body type to your swing plane (for example short arms in proportion for height / shorter upper arm longer lower arm etc)? Whenever I do the swinging backswing my club tends to go to the inside. Thanks in advance!
Very good video as I tend to get armsy. I like how they detail the right arm especially. I use to go wide but now after practicing the right arm folding early now I turn all the way thru without racing my arms ahead! Thanks guys!
You said that correctly: hands and body work separately but when you demonstraded than with slow speed they went together, why?When you did it with full speed your hands started to speed up faster than body. Pros don’t know what they are doing and that’s why people slice. Sorry about the negative comment but I strugled with that problem a long time.
This is great piece of information, I believe these drills will help a lot with beginner as well as single handicap. I will update you guys after trying out these drill. Thanks again, Mark (HDCP index 8.7)
Hey fellas. Nice video! I watched an earlier Gears video pro vs am about what the right shoulder should do in the swing. But could you do a new video on that? Does it drop straight down? What exactly should it do?
Until recently most golfers like me who are right side dominated were taught a left side dominated backswing! resulting in a weak positioned/loaded right side at the top,which caused "subconscious panic!" with the right side causing OTT and flipping. Learning to swing right arm only was a big factor in coming down from 14 to 5 hcp in the last 5 yrs. As well as obviously listening/watching you guys!
I find these one arm drills with club upside down really allow me to experience feelings I have never felt with a regular swing- especially the rotation of the left arm on the backswing- I unfortunately took the left arm straight back without rotation as I thought was correct- very eye opening. Have you done a video on left arm rotation- if not could you consider it? If so, could you provide a link?
did these drills, did the half shots post drills....and werked FLAWLESSLY. hitting my 9 with the stall, and getting my left shoulder back while holding the ninety degrees in the turn. Hit it FLUSH, right on the sweet spot, about 140 - 150 yards with NO effort. it was SICK. But....after about 20 - 25 shots....it was gone and I could not, for the life of me, get it back. what happened? I've experienced a real golf shot....and I want that feeling back. I got a taste [after 40 years of being terrible] and it was good.
You guys are great. I have been playing golf for many years but my swing has never been something to write home about. Watching your video’s has really helped me understand what I have been doing wrong for many years. Time to buckle down and start using your lessons and drills and see what happens in the next few months. I’m a golf fanatic but have never been able the ball the way I think I should be able to. Thanks again for your great instructions and drills. I’ll keep you posted on my progress. Don ANDERSON. “ THE HACK “
Hey guys! First, thank you for your amazing content and the relatability with which you present it. Second, do you have a video covering the period from impact to finish? Specifically, the area just past P7 where the forearms kind of crisscross each other, the upper body hangs back and the lower body has pretty much completed its turn? I just don’t understand what’s happening in the body there, and try as I might, I can’t replicate it. That position (always highlighted in the centerfold swing sequences of old Golf Digest ha) seems to be ubiquitous among the best players, and nobody really discusses what’s going on there or how to achieve it. Thanks in advance guys!
Does the club not close super quickly like this? Release not passive? Did David Toms release like this? I always thought he swung left holding off his release? Regards
Great work guys. Really helps with the timing of transition and weight shift. I've got a question about getting the arms down, "plane the club" into the delivery position. This seems to happen passively when tempo and power is 50-60%. To put a little more power should we actively lower the arms? Right elbow angle increasing. When I try to actively lower the arms/hands I seem to bottom out behind the ball even with proper weight shift.
Hi there. Great video. So what trigger the TA? Is it the right arm/ left arm or right foot ? If I start with the arm , can’t feel the right foot ? Vice versa can’t feel the club face ( open or square) Kindly advise please . Thank you
Gentlemen, I don’t purposefully think about keeping my left arm straight, but at impact my left arm is ram rod straight. Now, like you mentioned a lot of pros have a slightly bent left arm at impact. It is a matter of keeping the elbow soft or is there more to it?
Just started my golf journey, been playing ok till recently. Issue of topping the ball or slicing has affected my game.. Please help as it's affecting my enjoyment.
Love the work, have a question around how keeping the right arm straighter for longer (video on pros vs ams right arm and how ams increase right arm bend by too much) plays the folding of the right arm here in this video. How does one marry the 2? Thanks.
Hello, great vid!! Can you guys tell me why, when I swing faster with driver, the ball is low and left? But, when I swing slower, the ball is high and right?? Thanks
Great video Guys! I've been coming OTT and slicing/pulling and have been focusing on slowing my shoulder turn down and/or speeding my hands up in the downswing to get in the slot. Has this worked with your students?
Just means that the pivot will do a bunch of the work without you having to think about it when the club and arms are working well. The opposite is rarely true.
I think the pivot drill is nice, but not with the right hand as a proxy for the clubface. The right hand folds way back, as we all know. Thinking of it as a clubface proxy would seem to me to be an invitation to disaster.
It's a one of the greatest drill I've seen in the internet but I still struggling with the impact. It's relatively easy to make nice fluid swing but when you want to hit the ball solidly, it becomes another issue. For me a fluid natural swing and accurate impact seems forever contradict with each other. Whenever I focus on hitting the ball right, everything become so deliberately and rigid. Alan Lo
there's your problem right there - focus on the swing more than the ball and it'll come to you. It is hard to do when you've never visualized it like that, but if you can practice at the range on the swing primarily and making the ball itself sort of inconsequential, i think you'll see good results. The hard part is getting over the hump to make the swing and sort of feel like the ball "gets in the way" of the swing. Just my two cents' worth.
When I do my downswing I try to shift slightly and rotate my left shoulder just over my left toe then back. My question is what is the rotation action with my right shoulder. @@AthleticMotionGolf
Im wondering how much angle the shoulder plane should have when fully turned. Ive tried to add more, getting that left shoulder really deep down, but I end up duffing the hell out of the ball haha
Try this... get something long like a broom stick or even better an extendable painters pole. Hold it across your shoulders and make a backswing. The end coming from your lead shoulder should be pointing rough 2-4' outside the golf ball.👍

That’s looks great. Can’t be that simple? Is the swing really more up and down rather than rotation? Can’t wait to try this...
Gotta have both! But it's the arms that provide the up/down and the body that provides the rotation.

Look at where the ball is contacting the face
I used to think doing this would cause fliping this video helps me understand it dosent
Great video Guys! I've been coming OTT and slicing/pulling and have been focusing on slowing my shoulder turn down and/or speeding my hands up in the downswing to get in the slot. Has this worked with your students?
It has👍
Seems like you are saying the body moves the arms and thus the club, not that the arms are moving or pulling the body.
I have a question...at 14:45-14:50 of the video, Mike’s says that the ‘pivot supports the arms’...can you explain that better?
Just means that the pivot will do a bunch of the work without you having to think about it when the club and arms are working well. The opposite is rarely true.
Athletic Motion Golf sorry....still confused. Pivot of what? For some reason this is not clicking,
@@jwest7650 Sorry... the body pivot... upper and lower body rotation and tilts responding to the arms and club. Much like throwing a ball.
Athletic Motion Golf ok that’s makes sense to me...thanks for the quick response.
@@jwest7650 yessir👍
I think the pivot drill is nice, but not with the right hand as a proxy for the clubface. The right hand folds way back, as we all know. Thinking of it as a clubface proxy would seem to me to be an invitation to disaster.
How much power is applied by the trail arm. Significant or none. I have been taught to let it just ride along?
the right arm plays a significant role in the downswing.
I see a little what Malaska teaches there guys lol . Good video like the arm driven swings let the body respond.
They both gotta do their jobs, but for some reason, using the arms in the swing has gotten a bad rap🤷♂️
Athletic Motion Golf just me but I feel like if the arms are use in the right path the body has to respond in the right manner.
@@BamaPaul We've had more than one great player tell us the same thing😉
Did you explain the shift in the middle of the turn-shift-turn?
Randy Sallade they go through it in their other vids. It’s just a bump left to establish a post on the left side to rotate around
Is it cold in LA in August?
Another good vid boys...
Remember, you're looking at two very low body fat guys... we get cold easy😂

It's relatively easy to make nice fluid swing but when you want to hit the ball solidly, it becomes another issue. For me a fluid natural swing and accurate impact seems forever contradict with each other. Whenever I focus on hitting the ball right, everything become so deliberately and rigid. Alan Lo
there's your problem right there - focus on the swing more than the ball and it'll come to you. It is hard to do when you've never visualized it like that, but if you can practice at the range on the swing primarily and making the ball itself sort of inconsequential, i think you'll see good results. The hard part is getting over the hump to make the swing and sort of feel like the ball "gets in the way" of the swing. Just my two cents' worth.
I find that overly light clubs really mess up my tempo. I can’t feel the club as easily.
yeah it feels like swinging a straw if they're too light😬 Weight is definitely a key factor in a proper club fitting.
does your right shoulder move inside and a little circle to the left and up.
Not sure I understand what you're asking, Jim... can you expand on it a bit?
When I do my downswing I try to shift slightly and rotate my left shoulder just over my left toe then back. My question is what is the rotation action with my right shoulder. @@AthleticMotionGolf
@@jimferrell9503 this should explain how they both work in the downswing: th-cam.com/video/jJZr3cxfbdA/w-d-xo.html
For some reason all of a sudden I am hitting 5-6 fat shots every round. It’s like I’m in a trance.
Im wondering how much angle the shoulder plane should have when fully turned. Ive tried to add more, getting that left shoulder really deep down, but I end up duffing the hell out of the ball haha
Try this... get something long like a broom stick or even better an extendable painters pole. Hold it across your shoulders and make a backswing. The end coming from your lead shoulder should be pointing rough 2-4' outside the golf ball.👍
@@AthleticMotionGolf is that feet or inches?

Hi o
Mike Malaska L to L swing.
"We have yet to see a golfer with a straight arm at impact". I guess you have never seen Tiger Woods play golf then LOL.
He doesn't neither does Rory, etc. they all have varying degrees of bend.
