Great Teaching Andrew as always! When you drop your arms on the downswing which is the most dominant arm please - ie does the trail arm fall, making the lead arm "fall" or is it the other way around, even perhaps both together? John, 75, near Brighton UK 🤔🙂
Another banger from Andrew. I can attest to this I’ve only done the drills without hitting full shots from Andrew’s other videos on the range 5-6 time, NONE with driver. I played one round replicating the feel and swing and I hit several 275-300. I’m 45 in fairly good shape. What Andrew teaches is simple and just plain works. The best on YT in my opinion. Once you get the sequence down with proper pivot it’s about mastering rhythm and tempo. Thanks Andrew it’s Reggie btw
Andrew having watched loads of YT tips I have to say yours has certainly been the best for me, I wish I had found you years ago! Now I have really engaged my arms and let my body follow, everything else just happens dynamically. It would be great to see a video from you on maximising the arm speed, can the arms ever move too fast? Thanks again
More videos to come on this subject for sure! Like all things - everybody g can be overdone. The goal is to sequence your arms to your pivot! It’s neither an arm swing or a body swing. Rather a blend of the two! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Rock solid stuff, Andrew. Thank you for reminding the golfing world that it's actually okay to let the hands and arms be a focus in the golf swing. Game changing advice for me so thank you, sir.
I’m loving your golf teaching, Andrew. It’s gotten me back on track after injuring my knee trying to use ground forces to get more power. Not good for a 70 year old. Love the use of hands and arms to lead the swing. As a newcomer to your channel I’m in danger of trying all the drills at once! What’s your advice for those introducing your techniques into our golf swings. Where to start? Thanks for the great content.
Start with your feet together hitting balls off tees with the hitch hiker drill! Swing the club head freely and allow your body to respond dynamically! Slowly widen your stance as you increase the length of your swing, aligning a little right and keeping your back to the target as you change direction! You’ve likely been spinning your body too early like so many! Once you start feeling like your arms are employing your body you’ll be in sequence and off to the races! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Hi Nr.1 it‘s so much fun to see your videos, because there is so much nonsence shown by alleged golf instructors, thanks to your videos, I come back to the roots, Danke
Keeping hands inside the stick on the way down is money. Just thinking of that today really did make good things happen out on the course. 12/14 fairways. We’ll see how this continues to work for me, but it did work magic for my struggling driver this morning. Your other tip of keeping back to the target as long as possible has completely transformed my irons. Thank you!
Great Playing!! Slowing down the spin phase is a revelation for the vast majority of golfers! Faster arms, better sequence, more speed with less effort! A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Good advice as always. One thing I notice is that in all the things you say about the right (trail) leg in the backswing, you never sway back. The right hip turns back, which straightens the right leg, but there is no sagging or swaying backward. You also mention bracing on the inside of your right foot. This stability is critically important. But it is so easy to forget and to allow the momentum of the backswing to lead me to sway just a bit. Problem is that gets a bit too much weight on the outside of the right foot, which leads to the body hanging back just a bit on the downswing, which leads to one of those high way right drives with too much spin, even if contact was good, because the swing path is in to out with the face open. Not really a slice even though it curves left to right. It can repeat and be really vexing until a light bulb goes on in the old noggin and as I address the next ball I remind myself to brace against the right leg, turn my right hip and let the right leg straighten, but don’t let the hips sway back and weight shift that tiny bit to the outside of the right foot. It seems like very small adjustments, but the result will be a straight drive with lower, correct height and spin and landing angle, and perhaps even a little draw.
I personally struggle with some lateral movement with my pelvis. This has disastrous consequences effecting path, low point control and the ability to pivot the club correctly through the ball. More work ahead for me too!! Coach A. 🤔👊🏻⛳️🏌️♂️
Thanks again. Andrew. Since working on right arm usage against static upper body makes a huge improvement. Feels very compact and repeatable and creates more length. Glad to see "creating torque" debunked
Great video again I noticed something when I this I got the strangest idea I loosed my grip even more and then the club behaved like a pengelum really weird feeling I couldn't believe how sweet I was hitting the ball
Tapping into angular momentum for the first time can be transformative!! Monitor your tension and the club will do a lot of the work for you!! Best, A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
I too play w my “bad back “ - have improved w the info you share (thanks) - find it difficult to slow my body down - when I do I hit it very well - anything you can suggest to help me slow my body down would be appreciated- I have tried to keep my head still and end up hitting ugly pulls- thanks
Great video… as usual. So many so-called “axioms” in the backswing pivot debunked. No space between the knees… don’t straighten the knee… don’t drag the club around the corner… always keep the club in front of you, etc. I tend to drag the club around the corner a bit but still manage to hit a draw. You are giving average golfers “permission” to make a more efficient swing rather than try to copy the moves of young professional and expert golfers and a lot of instruction promoting that approach. Kudos to you, sir!
Thanks Jim!! Trying to attain perfect positions in a golf swing is a lost cause! Good pivot and Improved sequence should be the goal. Keep it simple! Best, A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Do you recommend twisting the handle with irons on the downswing as well. I tried it and it felt quite powerful on contact with the ball. Your thoughts please?
Your pelvis needs a new pattern! Trail hip moves ‘behind you’ and not laterally! There is of course some resistance with the feet! You don’t want spaghetti noodles underneath you. However, allowing the knees and feet to respond dynamically rather than freezing them is the easiest way to create depth in the backswing in my opinion. Best, A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Yes sir!! While the takeaway is of course important. Creating depth should be the priority, it’s what opens the door for a functional delivery system!! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻

Glad to hear that Tom!! Welcome aboard!

Tips like this are transforming my game. I am 77 and hit a 260 yard drive yesterday (ok, with wind at my back).
Awesome! 👏

Great video Coach!!! Enjoyed our immersion this past week!!! Definitely worth the time!!! Thank you again Andrew!
It was great coaching you Paul!! You did great. Talk soon! A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Thanks coach the left wrist turn down is key
Yes sir! It’s a critical element that’s for sure! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Great explanation. Clarifies so much for me.
Glad it was helpful! A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Knees back..yup..changing swing, clubbing down, and making it easier to enjoy. Thanks
You bet! 👍🏻

Just saw your video stall the body twist the shaft so that answers my previous question 😊
Great! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻

Another great driver tips

Another old man with a bad back here, due to work life balance only able to play once a week but find your video/instruction timley and most helpful.

Thank you! 🙏🏻
You do an open stance for your driver? The orange rod was pointing left and did not appear to be square.
Orange is alignment, blue rod is to encourage an inside approach to the ball! Sorry for any confusion! Best, A. 🙏🏻
How do i prevent swaying if my back foot is not planted in cement
Your pelvis needs a new pattern! Trail hip moves ‘behind you’ and not laterally! There is of course some resistance with the feet! You don’t want spaghetti noodles underneath you. However, allowing the knees and feet to respond dynamically rather than freezing them is the easiest way to create depth in the backswing in my opinion.
Best, A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf thank you for the reply
Bobby Jones, Sam Sneed and Bobby Locke all came over the top, in relation to their backswings, but didn't hit the ball from out to in.
Yes sir!! While the takeaway is of course important. Creating depth should be the priority, it’s what opens the door for a functional delivery system!!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
I would say all amateurs have a problem with the arms coming over the top
It’s a huge problem that’s for sure!
A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Must be Saturday.
Yes Sir!! 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
