No joke, this works! I'm a former 6 hcp who has dealt with some major back issues and have lost 50+ yds off the tee. I just figured it was age and injury. I was aware that using ground forces and my legs (still very strong) could add significant distance, I just never understood exactly how to incorporate them. After watching this and then spending time focusing on getting low at transition and then posting up hard, I am starting to regain some of that distance. As long as I keep my head back and right shoulder down through impact, I am almost back to pre-injury length. Thanks Brandon.
Bought myself a band, using it for a few weeks and it has really helped my driving. I like the feeling of squatting before I straighten the left side. It has really helped with my attack angle and ability to hit up. Thank you.
Thank you for the tips, I will definitely add jumping on 1 leg and band. My swing is similar to your with the left leg where I don't feel like I use the ground force much, I'm more like a body spinner.
Great video, Brandon. Any tips for working this into your swing without over-stressing the lead knee? Mine is fussy after years of basketball and martial arts, and I do something like you were doing -- what Dr. Lynn called "protecting" the knee and not straightening it fully -- when I try to "jump" off the lead leg. May just be something I have to live with.
The more you worked on this the better and more efficient your swing looks. Square up that left foot. Get a little low and push up with left leg. Way to go Brendon!!!!
If you wanna to see athletes that do that exact Vertical front leg pop check out good Slow Pitch Softball players...... we've been doing that move to perfection for decades. They are here on TH-cam! I would rotate out of shot with front foot finishing behind back foot lol
Great stuff. I have had some good success with these moves with the driver. Not so much with my irons. Has to be a little different timing with the jump perhaps? Have you done any work/videos using the same techniques with the irons? Thanks!
You got to 170 mph ball speed when you did the speed training with John Novosel Jr. How do you feel the force plate stuff compares to what you did with John? Is there anyway for you personally to combine the speed training you did with the new ground force skills?
Would love to see someone step on that first to get a baseline, then do ABS drill 1 and 2 with the down under board then step on that and see how well they use the ground forces after the drills.
We did not have this technology back in late 80's but I did have good caddies. I carried the driver about 250 yards with a persimmon driver/real balta golf balls (known by bunker yardage) I was being outdriven by others................. (John Daley, Branen Chamblee, Billy Ray Brown, and many , by 10-90 yards) ( they didn't ever record a 59 in competition, they didn't record 6 course records (best of my knowledge). Just wondering why accuracy isn't ever mentioned in modern day golf stuff. If you can hit the SW, pitch, putt like a boss.................................. go have fun.
One reason is that rough seems to be much shorter than previous. Also, ppl seem to drive the ball further, to a point where they can hit a 3,4 rescue or whatever if they do land in the rough
Good Stuff. If squaring your left foot proves fruitful then possibly fall onto proud left heel. That may give you more of a Spiraled vertical force vector? Watch a batter like JD Martinez. They lead with the left heel. Just a thought.
@@BEBETTERGOLF Ok, if in the back swing you allow your left heel to un-weight and in transition you plant your left heel ahead of where it started you will purchase more ground in which to sprial the leg. Not only that but you will allow your right glute/hip to seek that left heel prior to rotating CCW in the downswing. By now you have had enough time with the E-Bell to feel how it loads the Lats and is hurled from the Obliques. All these things are related..Your doing great. And that you for the great content.
When I forget to add that vertical force with my left leg/hip I will hit massive duck hooks. At first I was leaving the face open with the move, but that was an easy fix.
I found out to hit it harder I need to grip it much harder otherwise all the body action just leaves the hands behind too much. It's like a weak link in a chain
I wish there were more accessible forceplates in the UK. I know 100% that I leave a ridiculous amount of power behind. Frustrating as hell not to be able to measure.
Great video .Watched your content for years and it’s always excellent. Take what I saw with a grain of salt .. but One thing I’ve noticed is no matter the swing advice/change . There is always somthing that looks a bit off with your swing. You’re wrists always look really weak and have an odd motion to them that’s not normal.Specially in transition. Are you gripping the club in the palm or somthing? Can’t quite put my finger on it. Anyhow, I’m just trying to be helpful. Anyone else mentioned this to you?
Just what I needed, when I needed it. Thanks B and Dr Scott 👍
Best video you've done for distance!

Brendan -- You have the best golf channel on TH-cam -- Hope you get to 1 Million soon. Keep up the great work!!!
I hope so! Thx K
Crazy how much speed is left on the table even for better golfers. Your swing is looking great. Thanks for the video Brendon. 👍

Awesome stuff Brandon! Been working on the same and have seen results…thank you!

Have a look at KneesOverToes guy, my left knee felt the best after following his Zero program. Then build up some small dynamic movements/plyo
What type of band is used for training, name and resistance?
Great vid. I'm definitely repurposing my wife's yoga band for golf! Love the exercise tips!
Found it really interesting. Mark Crossfield focused on this to change his total from 262 to 320.
What strength was that band u were using ?

Brendon besides the feeling of leg pushing hard up are your hands pulling through and up as fast as you can also
Thanks Great info

Timing with the irons is much later and you're not "hitting up on it"
Please review the straight stick being advertised by Rocco Mediate. It posted just before your video here.
You got to 170 mph ball speed when you did the speed training with John Novosel Jr. How do you feel the force plate stuff compares to what you did with John? Is there anyway for you personally to combine the speed training you did with the new ground force skills?
Great point. With John I used a timed coughing technique called intro abdominal pressure with a faster backswing. That might be a good combo
Would love to see someone step on that first to get a baseline, then do ABS drill 1 and 2 with the down under board then step on that and see how well they use the ground forces after the drills.
Does it work on iron shot ?

You’re just jealous…get off my lawn!!!

@@djp3525 haha
People drive much better than in earlier times I guess. Better material, and people are just better at golf now
Where can I get a rubber band like that?
Amazon, search “pull up assist band”
What is the band

Have you ever seen this used in a sport like tennis?
Why doesn't Morikawa hit the ball further if he has that much vertical force? Is it because he doesn't have the horizontal braking to go with it?
quality.. max is 360p?
True. Weird. TH-cam says it is processing the HD and 4K version now. Idk what the issue is
I got 2160
monty python of golf but it works nice one

Zen golf sell their own version in UK
@@richyclubsport5155 I have the GRF board but as good as it is a practice tool, it's not a data collector or measurement system.
I would like to see the goldilocks effect where he actually turns his lead foot inward for a few swings, worked for me
Would that hurt?
@@BEBETTERGOLF actually would be closer to straight, but feels like it is turned in when you are use to flaring it out already
If Colin's vertical force is so great then why is he one of the shorter hitters on tour?
Height 5′ 9″, Weight 160 lbs
Pound for pound he is long. Not like rory but rory is way physicality stronger
@@BEBETTERGOLF That makes sense. Thanks for the reply 👍
