Don't forget this Sunday at 8:00 PST the Red Light Live show where you submit your swings to be diagnosed for its cause and effect...for FREE! Send em to me!
😂 it is a quite complicated motion. But also quite impressive, the club head goes from 0 to well over 100mph in 1 second and creates 2 tons of force at impact. That doesn’t come easy and takes a while to develop, but then we have to develop it correctly so it can become repetitive. You are welcome and thanks for watching and stopping by
Duval and Annika were both heavily right eye dominant golfer, hencr the head releasing early to put their doninant eye on the ball at impact with ball oosition further back than the average tour player
That may or may not have something to do with it, more so the alignment of anything. I have taught plenty of players with one eye more dominant and there are two choices 😂 but have not seen enough correlation to make that call on it.
@@liongolfacademy thanks for at least acknowledging it, if you want more food for thought, The percentage of the best ball strikers being rear eye dominant seems to hold. Rear eye golfers can produce a open body at impact easier than lead eyes so they have more rotational swings with less clubface rotation through impact, eg Hovland rory, hogan, lietzke, etc. Lead eye golfers have bigger backswings and must contact the ball later in their swings so usually has more roll over, but lead eye golfers ar usually the best putters, nicklaus, woods, etc there are exceptions ofc like faxo who is rear eye but putts well but the general rule holds due to the irrational biomechanical design of the average human swinging a club. Rear eyes putting with their opposite hand and lead eyes swinging with their opposite hand will be the future
You see it in basketball and archery and darts too, the best players are cross eye dominant so they swing shoot or throw with one side and their dominant eye is on the other side, which minimises the parallax effect. Almost every single Olympian in these sports are cross dominant if not all
@@pr8012interesting stuff! Do you have any statistical references I can take a look at for the tour golfers? Are all your golfers measured or just the top few? I am sure eye dominance has something to do with the golf swing development and how the body has to make way for how the neural pathways deliver the target (both ball and target) to the body
@@pr8012it's very fascinating and whilst I'm not pooh pooing the idea completely I'd have thought the way our brain works subconsciously that we would naturally adjust to what our eyes see and how our brain interprets those signals. Again, I'd like to know more on the subject, anything like that is interesting to me.
she doesn't move her head all that much. I'm just a guy but it seems she is still keeping her head "still," relatively speaking?? So I guess when you keep your head perfectly still it takes power away from your swing. My first lesson not too long ago, my golf pro taught me the step forward practice swing which has helped me get a feel of that "forward motion" feel in the swing (my words, not his) while not swaying too much. Thank you for the video. Very informative. It also would help to be as talented and competitive as Annika.
Thanks for the comment, head stillness usually prevents weight distribution and rotating into the ball and follow through as the student is so focused on keeping it still. Thanks for stopping by!
@@liongolfacademyyes sorry for the confusion about my comment on that step forward drill. I think he was actually trying to get me to all of that into the follow through without being hyper focused on keeping still. Thanks for reaching out!
i semi-regularly play golf with 3 older guys who chain smoke and curse like sailors... one guy's name is Gary and after every single swing where one of us doesn't hit an immaculate shot, which to be fair is essentially every single time, he yells, "Keep your motherf*&%ing head down!" ... it goes without saying that this usually fixes all of our issues right away and Gary will soon be publishing a series of instructional booklets for mass consumption.
The problem with instruction like keep your head still or keep your eye on the ball is that they're so open to interpretation. If you're swaying like a drunk at 2am then keeping your head still is going to probably help. Likewise keeping your eye on the ball could be interpreted as exactly what annika was doing when her head moved as soon as she hit the ball.
Most instructors that are good, don’t say keep your head still as they know how damaging it can be. They focus on proper weight distribution for the students ability and range of motion, and chest movement instead. Now if someone needs to sway like a drunk, go for it, good instruction should be open to ANYTHING based on the users limitations and should be ready to adapt but also communicate the positives and negatives of the adaption.
@@robertcourt8593 unfortunately this issues has no boundaries! Plenty of pros in the U.S. fall victim to this. When you rely too much on tech it’s hard to go back to teaching the art from. This is a sport, and an artistic one at that, we have forgotten how to use our paintbrushes. I went to a junior event and the kids were using their range finders from 30 yards out, they get lost without tech and I’m sorry to say will find it challenging to grow as a player without feel, both internally in the swing and in the game itself.
I find it very stupid for people to say "I wouldn't recommend or teach the swing" of world #1 golfers. Who would you recommend? The second best golfer? The 79th best golfer?
I think you put it rather succinctly but I agree, why don't we emulate furyks backswing or jacks putting stroke? Trevino stood open and hit a push cut but no one copies him.
Because most have fallen victim to the billion dollar golf industries narrative. The trend in the golf instruction world took a major turn in the 70s and it all started with publications like golf magazine. They started to have competitors in the space, and needed to separate themselves. What did they add? Golf instruction. Since then there has been a need to outdo each other, which lead to marketing new and better ways to swing, to emulate, to promise quick results with less work, shortcuts, and what better way? Emulate the best in the world. They did tell you emulate Trevino, if you were living in your prime in 1970. Move along some decades and we are in the info age where too much info is available to golfers. So much so that we have what I call “Dunning Kruger” golfers who think because they have read, or saw other dunning Kruger golfers they are experts. Unless you get paid to teach for a living full time, you are not the expert. The whole point of my channel is to help educate those to go back to what golf really is about, working with what YOU have and are limited too. We have a bunch of people who can’t color by numbers, trying to paint like Picasso, without the skill set, talent, coordination, body style, dedication, etc. to expect them to emulate the best in the world is a scam, a sham, and taking advantage of people by selling them lies. I am not about that, but it’s a free world, I cannot stop people from falling a victim to this, I can only offer this alternative, needless to say for free.

Thanks Lion Golf for the FREE video. GOLF is a Domino 4D jigsaw puzzle. 😮

Brian Sparks talks this exact thing in his book in reference to head movement. I am a convert and it actually has helped me.
Thanks for the watch and feedback !
Brisk 80’s up here a little north of you Tony. It’s been a long ass summer. Ready to cool off.
I hear that!! Looking forward to cooler temps myself!

@@liongolfacademy absolutely, too many teachers in the UK seem to have a hymn sheet that they're not able to deviate from.

A Jimmie Ballard swing.

Then you are the perfect fit to buy all the chachkis and $49.95 promises of those that do recommend to swing like them. Best of luck doing so!
