I'm a 71 yo old Dude who has a bet at my club I'll get to 9 hcp by November from 21 hcp last November : I'm currently 15. This concept will get me there. Thanks so much. Grateful Aussie.
I'm Just getting back into the game after more than 10 yrs. I got to say, Milo you one of the best instructors out there. You have helped me so much. I'm just trying to create a really good swing. I watch and listen to you, then go to the range. You've totally opened my eyes to what encompasses a decent swing. By the time summer comes along golf is going to be even more enjoyable than the last time I played. Thank you so much. All the best to you.
I've been showing this to people for yrs on the range because it's exactly what happens when you hit a tennis topspin looping forehand - as the right elbow comes in to generate that powerful whipping action, the right wrist & hand must rotate to face backward to keep the clubface square - and the faster/harder you want to hit it (more elbow), the more backward your hand has to turn. It's the one gift tennis gave me - I had to learn this as a kid to compete in tournaments
Just 2 online lessons from Milo, along with incorporating his body rotation drills into my warm-ups - straight arms, hockey stick, split hand,and parallel lines - led me from 12 handicap to 7 and descending, with first 11 GIRs in last round and 22 hole stretch score of + 3 despite 3 3-putts. He's so quick at spotting not only swing flaws, but also when swing elements don't match up. For wexample, I used neutral grip for 15 years and decided to try stronger grip, but I was still doing the bowed lead wrist the neutral grip requires on the downswing. He said cup the wrist instead and hinge toward thumb, and contact was instantly solid and easy. He also spotted I was swinging the club toward the target instead of toward the ball - which explains why my clubhead wasn't exiting left like good players. Once I committed to that proper swing plane, my pulls and pushes 90% vanished. I'm working hard on all this, but the truth is his key changes worked from the very first swing and I knew, going forward, I'd be a substantially less mediocre golfer!
There are plenty videos on the right elbow movement that are good. But the key is your teaching on the wrist which makes tucking the elbow correctly/naturally. I must say without the wrist move following others' instruction is like someone directing: go down the road & turn left when you see a small tree. Thank you for this most valuable teaching.
I'm swinging the club pretty good right now, about a nine handicap, and what Milo says at 3:40 is the golden insight of a one plane swing if you can get this right then you're gonna play some great golf cheers to Milo He's one of the best instructors out there.
I would like to know the feel in the upper body/scapula when taking the club back and then swinging through. Also, the hands/wrists turning the door knob is done passively in the downswing? Is that correct? Or are you doing it?
I am not sure this is an appropriate post but several years ago in a lesson Milo put a rod outside and to the right of the ball path and told me to try to get as close to it as I could on backswing and miss it on downswing. It took quite a few swings but I started stripping it and still am. My go to feel is I am swinging an axe over my right shoulder and on the downswing I just swing it back to the ball. Everything in this video just happens without my thinking about it. I am 72 with shoulder and ankle limitations and a 7 handicap; a 16 before the lesson. Don’t think you have to have perfect mobility to have a good, strong swing. Milo is an awesome instructor so take a lesson from him if you get a chance.
I feel that the arms downswing is driven by the hips and the spine in kinetic sequence, arms following. I spent too long trying to rely on spine and shoulders.
Ive got into this bad position in so many ways its driven me nuts even tho i usually recover some how! (being old but hyper mobile doesnt help!)At the mo im trying to fix it in set up and first move.Pressure in balls of feet not heels, stay over ball on first move especially right shoulder,right chest turns down.
Henry, that doorknob thing doesn’t work without the spine tilt move Milo showed. You demo it like it’s an arms/hands thing, but it’s a result of the thoracic spine side bend.
We like to have it happen as a result of the body movement and pivot, but for some they need to manually do it at first and isolate. Here is the full video on this: th-cam.com/video/XjV_r3ZQM48/w-d-xo.html
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I see a lot of pros even long drive guys, take their trail arm behind the seam line, and they still get a ton of height and width at the top, can you explain that?
The trail arm should not move behind the seam. If it does, the lead arm moves too much across the body. The lead arm really moves very little from left to right in the backswing and through impact. It is stabilized in this motion by the trail arm not getting too crazy.
Many different arm structures throughout the best players in the game, but typically yes, I don't like to see the trail arm getting too far behind the seam line.
Interesting. For you it may be more helpful to focus on your dominant hand which in your case seems to be your right hand (lead hand)? I’d have to see your swing to give you the best feedback. Have you looked into my online academy? Milolinesgolf.com?
Sorry but I find this video very confusing and jumbled. It seems like you guys are adding a lot of manipulation and complexity to the swing. Looping and circles with the arms and hands? Yikes.
Interesting that you feel that way, we never talked about looping the arms at all and tried to show that the arms move with the pivoting body. The loop is in the club head like every other sport.
@@MiloLinesGolf Thanks very much for replying. I am struggling with how the lead elbow works in the downswing. I guess I just need more of an explanation as to how the looper drill works. You mention it at around the 8:30 mark but never really explain it. It sounds like you have a video devoted to that so I will check it out. Thanks again!

How are you playing these days ?

You bet, thanks so much for the comment and following along!

can't wait for the Ed and Henry video!!!

Very good! Well played fellas.
Thanks James!
Thanks for this! Perfectly timed for what I am working on right now
Thanks for watching Adam!
You guys are awesome. Soooo helpful 🙂
Thanks Ken!

Glad you’re doing well!!
I ran an AJGA event at Superstition in ‘06. That place is beautiful.
Yes it is!
Steve Elkington's "twirl" of the right hand.
Similar, yes.
I feel that the arms downswing is driven by the hips and the spine in kinetic sequence, arms following. I spent too long trying to rely on spine and shoulders.
That was a good one!!
Thanks Christian!

Start watching at 3:30. You won't miss anything.
Thanks for watching Mark.

@9:37 Henry exaggeration of the elbow LOL
U should do a whole vid on the arm motion u did in - what your arms actually do in the golf swing without the turn this one was great
We cover these in more detail on my website and in our member only webinars. Milolinesgolf.com
Great stuff
Thanks for watching Salvatore!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I see a lot of pros even long drive guys, take their trail arm behind the seam line, and they still get a ton of height and width at the top, can you explain that?
There are always outliers. Long drivers don’t generally get behind seam line it’s an optical illusion.
How do you explain Ben Hogans’ elbow then?
th-cam.com/video/YTouIPdVjUQ/w-d-xo.html
That's exactly also my swing issues!
A common flaw I see!
wouldn't shallowing be tough if you just kept you trail arm bend the same into the ball from the top off the backswing?
Nope, not at all. If you are moving your hips and torso correctly, you will find you’ll hit the slot almost effortlessly.
Trail arm straightens some from the end of the backswing into impact
Mike Adams says that there are different ways that people can fold their right arm given that body type and physical make up. Do you agree?
For sure
So do you contend that what you’re advocating here works for everyone?
@@sd1132 nothing works for everyone
Steve Elkington's "twirl" is what your right hand demonstrates
Similar, yes! th-cam.com/video/XjV_r3ZQM48/w-d-xo.html
Timely video on trail elbow movements and how to properly start downswing ensuring trail elbow does not get behind seam line-
Thanks for watching Harold!
The trail elbow needs to move faster and thus covers more distance than the hands during transition .
But notice we are not driving the elbow. Nor are we pulling down with the hands.
The trail arm should not move behind the seam. If it does, the lead arm moves too much across the body. The lead arm really moves very little from left to right in the backswing and through impact. It is stabilized in this motion by the trail arm not getting too crazy.
Many different arm structures throughout the best players in the game, but typically yes, I don't like to see the trail arm getting too far behind the seam line.
Oh man I’m guilty of this I think it’s even harder for me being left handed at golf but right handed for throwing
Interesting. For you it may be more helpful to focus on your dominant hand which in your case seems to be your right hand (lead hand)? I’d have to see your swing to give you the best feedback. Have you looked into my online academy? Milolinesgolf.com?
you do not say "how" to keep the right elbow in front???
Did you watch the full video? I feel like we explained it pretty clearly. How can we help clarify?
The “lawnmower pull,” one of the worst pieces of golf instruction of all time. Claims that Hogan did it couldn’t be more wrong.
We did a video on that drill but we did it a different way for that very reason 👍
Explanation is not clear and hard to understand
What can I help clear up? I'm pretty sure we thoroughly explained here and the video has been very well received for the most part.
Sorry but I find this video very confusing and jumbled. It seems like you guys are adding a lot of manipulation and complexity to the swing. Looping and circles with the arms and hands? Yikes.
