This is incredible teaching. We all believe and are sometimes taught that the golf swing is a L to L jacknife lever action. Its not. It sure looks like it is at first glance and then a deeper inspection suggests otherwise. Its 100% a swing as Roger says. There is another video of Rogers where he swings a wedge 130mph horizontal and tells you the exact throwing way the wrists work. The throw is from the top exactly as he describes and continues behind the golfer down past parallel and then through impact is just the rest of the throw. The rotation will come naturally with this motion. It is only counter intuitive because we are bent over and have a static ball to distract the swing. Ive watched Mike Austin and Steve Prat and I have never seen this explained as well as the way Roger has done.
Wow im speechless i believe what your saying roger as i can see you demonstrating it with what your showing us but never knew this im getting a education day by day thanks
What great information! I will try this for sure. I try to turn too much... I've never realised you don't have to turn like i do. It looks so easy the way you are demonstrating.
Different ways of visualizing the swing click for different amateurs: I think this is a good one for my brother-in-law, an excellent athlete who is used to muscling his way through sports and needs to take out the muscle and add flow and tempo. Especially important for him, and maybe me, is the way a child on a swing hovers weightless at the top. With many PGA guys, there's no hover since they swing back so fast and rebound, but I think ams benefit more from making sure they stay in tempo, and the gravity swing analogy helps that: brother always swings better when he "pauses" at the top. Not really pausing, it just "feels" like a pause if we don't ruin it!
Agreed up to a point . I love the comment . It's gives me another video opportunity to discuss the differences of the modern swing and one that uses all 12 joints. There are players using this method and I need to explain a bit more on how the lower body supports
Thank you, Rodger, Rodger at any time during the downswing are we using any type of force , the release at the top right at transition, at p9 or at impact ?? sorry, thats a can of worms but if you could shorten my question with a direct answer like i know you can , please do, ty , love the real deal teaching style, no fluff , no nonsense.
Bobby Jones said it best .. I never try to put pressure on the side of the shaft .. it's just a swing and the only way it can be a true swing is the arm goes straight to the target in one continuous Motion like a underhand throw
No sir nothing changes just hit a couple inches behind the ball .. club is always in the middle of the body on all shots and the ball will be a little forward in sand
Tried this concept today while playing with varying degrees of success . Hit some great shots but had no consistency. Realized after the round that I had an inside takeaway that was killing me . Hope that correcting this will be the right medicine. Any thoughts on this .
sounds great . I had a wonderful series of lessons with a gentlemen that drove from South Carolina . I really hope to help people with my videos , however nothing will beat one on one instruction as the smallest little thing can make all the difference .
So either hands are not correct , your over turning or head and eyes aren't tracking correctly. Check out my new video and try doing this in front of a mirror . You can check swing plane and eye line at same time
I think i was trying to say the club swings as freely as a kid on a swing set ... its a double pendulum actually and the club is moved by the hand action .. and yes there is force before motion . I am trying to keep it simple 😂
We make nice practice swings. Then we make ugly levers when we try to strike a ball. Got to break that cycle of thought and it's not easy for amateurs. If seen people make a series of practice swings nice and smoothly as we are all capable from about a foot away from a teed ball and slowly inch up with our feet towards the ball as we swing until we strike it using that practice swing. Do this in an open area or end of the range where no one is around until you het the feel for it. But we need to trust that the swing will get this done. Have to break that ball bound objective that almost forces us to abandon a free swing and turn the club into a hatchet. It's really a mental block for many.
Roger King is blowing my mind! Totally different way of teaching and thinking about golf, it's refreshing.
Thank you ... I did not invent it. I am just help keeping it alive .
a very interesting video that needs to be viewed several times and absorbed, thanks
Agreed ... its layers

You are very welcome

Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant explanation and easy to understand. Thanks 🙏
Your very welcome
Thanks for the tips, esp like the 2 finger grip to 'feel' the swing.
Happy to help!

Really enjoying your videos
What about when you are in a sand bunker does anything change?
No sir nothing changes just hit a couple inches behind the ball .. club is always in the middle of the body on all shots and the ball will be a little forward in sand
Thanks for video
Thank you too!

It is such a treat to be able to reach so many people from so many countries

Yes ... you were over turning and probably the ankles were not rolling with the swinging of the weight of the club
@@rkswingking Thanks for the reply . I live in East Tennessee and may try to get a lesson some time in the future .
sounds great . I had a wonderful series of lessons with a gentlemen that drove from South Carolina . I really hope to help people with my videos , however nothing will beat one on one instruction as the smallest little thing can make all the difference .
Exactly how I feel about the swing but I am still playing like crap
So either hands are not correct , your over turning or head and eyes aren't tracking correctly. Check out my new video and try doing this in front of a mirror . You can check swing plane and eye line at same time
Has your game gotten any better ?
@@rkswingking hitting the occasional ball better than ever but still very inconsistent
Focus on compound pivot... watch my latest video
@@rkswingking will do
The club or kid on a swing cant move on its own. The react to the input. Not the other way round... surely.
I think i was trying to say the club swings as freely as a kid on a swing set ... its a double pendulum actually and the club is moved by the hand action .. and yes there is force before motion . I am trying to keep it simple 😂
@@rkswingking Newton would agree.

Agree with all that 👍
