When I was a kid, in 1971 Johnny won the Southern Open at Green Island CC in Columbus, Ga., my hometown. He was paired w my dad in the pro am. The team won, my dad had his only hole in one, then Johnny won the tournament. For many years after that, during Southern open week, he would come to our house for dinner a few days before the event. What a super nice guy he was.
Johns the best. What I love more than anything is that he doesn't talk for 20 minutes explaining every tiny detail to just show he's an expert. He delivers the message fast with no pretense. People that take 15 minutes to tell the story really have no idea how to really play and the long interactions are just for show. It's difficult to change more than one thing at a time in golf.
Johnny is the absolute best ever for getting a swing thought across to us amateurs. It just always resonates with me and he makes it as simple as possible. He is so so much better than all of these "great teachers" combined.
This has caused a huge improvement in my iron striking - I'm hitting straight high well struck irons instead of flippy thin shots to the left. One of the best golf tips I've ever had.
THIS is my go-to swing thought on the course to avoid the left miss. Can't tell you how many times I've used this thought on the course to pure an iron right at the flag. Johnny Miller is a legend.
I've watched a lot of TH-cam videos on golf swing tips, hoping to find something that resonated with me. This was one of the few that actually helped me make better contact with my irons. Thanks, Johnny!
Been playing for 30 years, always struggled hitting ball then turf. I'm playing tomorrow, I'll try this. I think it's the best iron tip I've ever heard. Game changer. Thanks, Johnny!
Nobody tells it quite like Johnny Miller. Of all the golf commentators on TV I would have to say he is the one that has provided the most helpful tips for improving my game
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else wants to discover online golf instruction try Nadazma Amazing Golf Helper (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my neighbor got cool results with it.
hey ,if anyone else wants to discover the simple golf swing try Magonsi Amazing Golf Expert (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my co-worker got cool results with it.
Some of the best golf advice ever. I watched this months ago and made this very adjustment to my swing, making sure I got my shoulder back to where it started and beyond on the follow through. I had what Johnny referred to as sway and stay through most of my golfing life and this one change has revolutionized my swing.
This one tip for free is worth just about all the money you will spend on some lessons...what Johnny is telling you is how to make solid impact...so much is all about moving the hips just a little forward then turn in downswing...while if the hip thing is driving you nuts Johnny just fixed that for you.....great lesson period....
I agree I saw his 76 British Open ,a fantastic talent that never fulfilled his potential maybe he just put family first ,why not, and a little to frank and honest in his comments for the media fence sitters.keep going Johnny ... please !!
Thanks Johnny for the tip! Sure did miss your expert analysis at the US Open this year. Fox's coverage was.....uhhhh.....uhhh....let's say interesting. Any chance you can sign with FOX?
I am right handed and on my downswing I only actively use my entire right side and finish perfectly with the weight on my left foot . To me the left side is passive and at 69 I love the results. The other thing I no longer cock my right hand in the same manner as my left . Cocking or hinging both hand in the same direction is a swing killer for me. The right hand hinges back as if you are preparing to slap someone on the face; not in the manner of hammering a nail as some teachers are now suggesting. Do you agree?

I bought JM's 1974 Yellow Porsche Carrera with only 13,000 miles. How dumb of me not to put it in storage and use it as a savings acct. Can't help but wonder what ever happened to Andy Martinez. What a team they were. JM simply speaks his mind. You GOTTA respect him for his no BS approach. He says what needs to be said. The Best!
The actual biomechanical sequence starts with a slight side bending of spine to the right at the start of the backswing which causes the mass in the body to shift laterally to the target at hip level (the point of least resistance) causing a “posting” the lead leg (i.e. making it more vertical) and causing it to bear more weight and become the axis of rotation for the pelvis during the downswing. The lateral shift of the hips to target pulls the backwards bend out of the lead leg which frees the hips to fire open and drag upper body lagging by 45° pinning the lead arm tighter across the chest. That lead arm acts like the lever arm of Trebuchet, with the shaft of the club acting like the sling and the club head the projectile in the swing. The better a golfer can ‘connect’ the lead arm to upper chest, which creates the fulcrum for the lead arm mass to pivot on and contributes to its springing off the chest, the faster the lead arm will fly off the chest accelerating the club head much faster than the shoulders move. The left shoulder is the pivot point for the lead arm and how it is moved in 3D space relative to the point of rotation and balance between the heels in the downswing influences what direction the lead arm flies off the chest as it releases. Ideally the considerable mass in the lead arm should fly down and left with the same amount of force trying to pull the club head out to the right in the inside-out swing path so the net effect is the club head to tracking straight down the target line in the finish. Through impact as the trail arm straightens it starts bearing the force of the swinging club and once the club force is allowed to pull it straight the right shoulder becomes the axis of rotation for the swinging club and where it is in 3D space relative the point on the ground the entire body rotates around becomes critical for controlling club head path in the finish. That’s why tossing balls at the ground near the front foot is a really good drill for beginning golfers to do to both gain a conscious understanding of the cause and effect of extending the trail arm down the target line and programming the subconscious brain to do the correct actions automatically. You will find if you experiment with this cause and effect as I have, the lifting of the trail foot in the downswing is a critical variable because as long as the back foot stays grounded the hip turn is restricted by the resistance created by the front foot and leg to about 45° open. In the downswing the hips move laterally toward the target and turn open at the same time until meeting that resistance, which quite literally feels like the lead hip hitting a wall if the back foot is kept down. Watch all the great ball strikers in frame-by-frame and you will see a very controlled lifting and turning of the back foot in the downswing just before impact which is what allows the hips to “break through” the wall (i.e. not get stopped completely) at which point they keep rotating. That is also the point in the swing where the shoulders turn back to parallel with swing line and the mass of that lead arm pinned across the chest is finally able to fly off and where good ball strikers will increase the amount of side bend in their spines which forces trail shoulder down and lead shoulder up and moves trail shoulder close to the swing line which what causes the trail arm to straighten down it towards the target as in the side-arm ball toss drill. The side bend action that all good ball strikers have and those with poor swings lack is critical for keeping the trail shoulder back behind the ball position and moving laterally towards target in the downswing (not whipping around the feet) when the club head mass starts pulling the trail arm straight. Remember the mass in the lead arm wants to fly off to the left, the club head mass to the right and what keeps the club head tracking straight down the target line is actually the mass of the trail arm being thrown down the target line with side bend action, very much like the biomechanics of skipping a stone over the surface of a pond with a sidearm throw. My downswing thought is the same as in the ball toss drill, aiming the palm of my trail hand down at the ball and then side bending so the trail arm extends in the direction I want the ball to fly, parallel to the line my heels are on.
Johnny was a gifted player and his ball striking was aided by the FACT that he is left handed which is a huge benefit for delaying the hit. I believe moving your spine ahead of the ball and moving out of your center early may not work for most.
Nice Video! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard about - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (probably on Google)? It is a great one of a kind guide for revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my best friend Jordan at last got great results with it.
@@nadiayvonnerazanajao7082 Thank you for offering your thoughts! One thing I have learned is that the proper preset is 95% of good ball striking and 90% of the preset is the GRIP. If you don't grip it properly you will NOT recruit the proper muscles that are needed to hit well and consistently. You Must be under the pad in your left hand (For righty players, opposite for left handers) and in the fingers of the right hand....also, hold the club the way your hands hang naturally at your side which varies by player. Then waggle the club which will ease TENSION, after that, your inner clock will ignite the start of the LEFT shoulder, and that, will help you achieve the proper sequence to the swing without having to think about it. Check out Carl Lohren's book, "ONE MOVE TO BETTER GOLF" Mr. Lohren knows more about the golf swing than any man alive according to Mr. Deane Beman and many other top players like Lee trevino, Chi Chi, and scores of many other Professional and accomplished Amateurs, as while as, thousands of golfers of all skill levels. Best to you, JM
I do it more flush but this still doesnt eliminate the left side of the course for me. I live on the left side all round. Deep and left. Id rather deep and left than short and right but it sure would be nice to go straight sometimes
Great video content! Excuse me for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you heard about - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (do a google search)?

Mr. Miller. I humbly agree with you, but very people explain how to get your weight forward easily. And that is to take weight off your front foot on the back swing. It allows your body to naturally lean that way on it's own instead of having to force it.
Good tip, but the modern golfer (Viktor Hovland, for example) don't sway off the ball. They stay stacked, rotating over the ball followed by a hard rotation into their left side.
I think it would have been helpful for the common golfer to explain that the move that brings the shoulder to the initial position SHOULD NOT be done with the shoulder... Should be done by ensuring that the weight is transferred to the left side using the lower body until the shoulder reaches the said position. It is a good advice that will have a lot of rookie golfers pulling over the top unless it is done right.
should've talked about his right shoulder/right hip action in the backswing...maybe the best ever, and much more helpful for the average golfer to copy
man, Johnny really packed on the pounds after his retirement. I think a lot of his injuries were probably caused by the extra weight. It all adds stress to the knees/joints, etc.
But he does exactly the opposite when he swings to what he is telling you he does. His left leg locks and prevents him getting through. His left shoulder is further away from the target at impact than at address
hi everyone ,if anyone else trying to find out online golf lessons try Nadazma Amazing Golf Helper (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my brother in law got amazing success with it.
You were an incredible player Johnny and one of my favorites of all time, but you never taught golf for a living. If you had you would know that this tip will not help anybody play better golf. 99% of these people did not learn to play golf when they were a child as you did. They will never learn to move as you did to hit great golf shots. Fortunately, if they want an easier way they will search for the Setup 4 Impact golf swing. The easiest way to setup and swing a golf club. If you setup close to where you need to be at impact it will make the game a whole lot easier.
Actually, The Setup 4 Impact golf swing is helping golfers play better golf without having to spend thousands of hours practicing. Just setup closer to where you will be at impact and you too can improve almost instantly.
garyt1957 Is Johnny an instructor now? I was not aware that he makes his living that way. If so then I will remove the post. I have never posted on an Instructor's video. I thought he was a TV commentator.
Kirk, keep on selling your "Moe" method - Miller gives one tip to reach a solid impact position - if Moe Norman could have done this, instead of his extreme arms-only swing, he might have had something better than a driving range only swing. Stay on the Moe band wagon Kirk - his playing record shows how ineffective his swing was - think I'll stick with Johnny's much better swing.
+ ed chapman - Yea like we are going to go back to the Moe Norman "Natural Golf" craze to re-invent the wheel. Also we might as well get a new set of all same length clubs to complete the transition.

I have spent hours with instructors, and not one of them made this point this simply. Johnny has brought me back from the wasteland
Been playing for 30 years, always struggled hitting ball then turf. I'm playing tomorrow, I'll try this. I think it's the best iron tip I've ever heard. Game changer. Thanks, Johnny!

Very good tips from Johnny! He was an excellent golfer in his day and one of the best golf commentators today.
This is the best tip I have ever used, drops the club right into the slot without thinking about hips etc...works great for me with driver as well
Some of the best golf advice ever. I watched this months ago and made this very adjustment to my swing, making sure I got my shoulder back to where it started and beyond on the follow through.

His instruction Video is THE best one. Really worth viewing...especially the right palm down to draw the ball...

I tried this and it works... Thanks you Johnny... Your the man.
One of the greatest golfers of all time. I watched him hit golf balls in Phoenix, and I have never seen such accuracy.
Great video Johnny, one of my favourite golf iron tips and something I share with other golfers to assist their improvement. Cheers
I listen to every word Johnny says every time.
I love this guy. He also simplifies things & makes perfect sense
Thanks Johnny. This is what I needed. You describe what I was doing wrong.
Saw the 2015 U.S. Open. Three words.....I miss Johnny.
+James Horan Are you kidding? That US open (2015) was one of the best I've seen. Are you a golf dinosaur?

I thought he was great in the.booth.
Johnny was the best golf commentator ever.
Excellent and brief instant wisdom from one of the greatest. Thanks a lot !!.
one of the best tips ever it improved my striking of the ball. thanks Mr miller.
I started pulling my driver. I did this move today. It straighten right out. Thanks Johnny !
Love you, Johnny! You were unbeatable for a season. The best as commentator !!☺

Awesome advice from Johnny Miller.

Thanks. Great video
spoken by one of the greatest iron players to ever pick up a golf club...best listen.
MR MILLER YOU HAVE A GREAT SWING. at this age its like a forever fresh cold lemonade oasis in a 46 c hell desert .
Johnny was a gifted player and his ball striking was aided by the FACT that he is left handed which is a huge benefit for delaying the hit. I believe moving your spine ahead of the ball and moving out of your center early may not work for most.

Sergia also good at tips,said swing down after backswing so you down come over the top
I remember being at Birkdale in 1976 when Johnny won the open, and an unknown kid called Seve Ballesteros came second

I will Think about that ín the future. Thanks Johnny.
Love the tip Remember Johny at Firestone in Akron at his Prime
Great tip.
Great tip!
Awesome tip, thank you!
I do it more flush but this still doesnt eliminate the left side of the course for me. I live on the left side all round. Deep and left. Id rather deep and left than short and right but it sure would be nice to go straight sometimes
A great learning . Thanks
This is 100% correct!
Great tip....if you want to hit a push
Does anyone recognize where this was filmed? what course's range is he on? resembles the Tradition in Palm Springs, but not sure..
Glen Abbey?
I have not, do not, will not ever play golf. But I will follow this instruction as though my life depends on it.

So stack and tilt?

should've talked about his right shoulder/right hip action in the backswing...maybe the best ever, and much more helpful for the average golfer to copy
If anyone knows iron play, it's JM.
Sway and stay sums up my swing and bad shots!!
cracks me up, so many sorry ass golf pros come to watch Johnny Miller videos.
Bobby S ... jealously! Bernhard Langer said recently that Johnny is Best ball strike he’s seen in 47 years being a pro!
Watch the swing at the 1:59 Mark of this video... Over-the-top Charlie!
It's good to know Phillip Seymour Hoffman is alive and well
man, Johnny really packed on the pounds after his retirement. I think a lot of his injuries were probably caused by the extra weight. It all adds stress to the knees/joints, etc.
What an idiot
But he does exactly the opposite when he swings to what he is telling you he does. His left leg locks and prevents him getting through. His left shoulder is further away from the target at impact than at address
I have always loved that Miller and am not bias LDS either: so there all you haters below.
If you rotate your hips back instead of going back first with arms this negates the sway issue.

+ ed chapman - Yea like we are going to go back to the Moe Norman "Natural Golf" craze to re-invent the wheel. Also we might as well get a new set of all same length clubs to complete the transition.
This, and say 'John-ee MILLER' while you swing. No kidding, try it!
Sometimes when I swing I feel like I'm twisting my back, and it's going to the left
