Lag is one of those topics that give a lot of golfers A LOT of fits.
The pros make it look SO EASY.
BUT what you don't realize is that they're utilizing techniques that most golfers aren't which helps them create that nice, compressed shot.
We're going to share the 2 KEY elements that will help you create lag next time that you step on the golf course. - Спорт

Awesome drill -- can't wait to try it this afternoon!!
@@mariamark2166 Let us know how it goes👍
Was definitely hitting the ball further and more solid -- great drill -- everyone needs to incorporate it in their swing. Can you also reply to my earlier comment about the video re abduction? Thanks!!
@@mariamark2166 Sorry, Maria, I must have missed that question. Could you ask it again here?

Oh yes I loved this episode of weekend update joke swap
lmao
I’m at the golf course parking lot watching the joke swap playlist and this pops up like a sign from god. Got the laughs in and also figured out how to get lag in my swing. Thought I accidentally added a golf vid in queue
HAHAHAHAH!
Me too, me too.
Anyone else from the Michael Che Colin Jost joke swap playlist? lol
Yes, I was so confused when this video came on
why is this in the weekend update playlist lol
Lmao same I was watching the playlist and then golf.
Let me tell you what there is this narrative that youtube is bad for your golf game but this is probably the best video I have seen that has helped out tremendously. I went to a golf clinic where the instructor told me to take my backswing to the 10 o'clock position and rotate my upper body but didn't explain why that works. Fast forward to my next round and I'm slicing every ball as I think I'm doing what he taught me. After I watched this video everything clicked as I was able to correlate the action to the "why" and my next day at the range I had shot after shot that were just beautiful. I was able to correlate the angle to what he was trying to teach me, being the visual person that I am it just clicked. I believe this channel is the single most opening into improving my golf game.
👊🤓
I can’t believe how much this video has helped my ball striking. First time on range after watching this, I was instantly more consistent with contact. The more comfortable I get with the slightly different motion at takeaway the more yardage I gain. Especially with mid irons. 5 iron went from consistent 185 to well over 200. I’m a single digit handicap and this is my first ever comment on a video. Thanks AMG
Valuable insight into the framework of the swing and what it looks like, in comparison. Good stuff!
Super fascinating guys, I watch all of your videos and have help my game so much, looking forward to doing your full program!
Another brilliant video, with very detailed explanation! Watched all of their videos now and I'm putting them all together, so I can have the perfect swing - in about 30 years time!
Outstanding video. Hugely impactful. Great work!
You guys make the best videos. Love the detail in your explanations. Your videos helped improve my golf swing so much.
Great analysis. I’ve watched 2 of your videos this morning, and quickly becoming a fan! You’ve got my swing analyzed perfectly…..hips move forward, lag disappears! Good thing I can get it up and down from the truck of my car. Now to fix it!
Very interesting video! I do think it would be cool to do another video where you show the above view arm movement like this WITH body rotation also. It seems like the underlying reason the pros aren’t “working as hard” with their arms is because they are getting depth/energy/speed with more rotation of the body. The am probably is not rotating as much so the arms move more, then the locomotive energy of the arms cause them to flip pass the body. Love the channel!
Mike, this was eye opening, and I appreciate the in-depth analysis you did here. I know this kind of detailed video is a lot of work, and maybe not as popular as the other format you and Shaun typically use, but I learn quite a bit from this delivery. Thanks for a really helpful video.
Thanks bud! These are a lot of work to do, but we always learn a lot just in compiling all the data for the videos. So definitely a labor of love🤓 We're glad others enjoy them too!
You have no idea how much this video helped! Thanks so much!
This was extremely helpful! Thanks guys
This video blowed my mind, the best golf video i have seen, and i have seen alott.
thanks!!
This site is stunning. Quite simply the best insights into the golf swing I have ever seen
Awesome video great explanation. And the flight fix series is pure gold
Paul Weyland 👊🙏🏻
I really enjoy the gears comparisons you do. It's such an objective measure and like you showed, the more swings you can get, the greater the credibility for your teachings. I actually didn't know you had a paid site. The UA-cam videos themselves have been a game changer! Thank you👍
We really appreciate that, Radd, we're glad you enjoy these. We always learn a ton during the process of doing them so it's cool to hear others enjoy them too!
This is hands down the most informative golf video I have ever seen; by a mile. Simply brilliant demonstration of the fine lines between ‘OK’ and ‘Excellent’.
Wow, thanks bud!
Can’t wait to get home and start working on this! Thanks so much for your time and expertise!🙏🙏🙏
Awesome video, per usual. It's funny how complex analysis leads to simplifies answers. Thanks!
It starts with simple pros😄 Thanks bud!
This was great. Just went to play today after watching this video. I was trying to emulate the concepts (especially the left arm angle going back, and then cupping the wrists). I havent done any of the drills but my ball striking was a lot better. Thanks for the great content!
Awesome way to go! Glad it helped👊
Outstanding discovery, never seen anything like this! Excellent graphical representations.
Glad you enjoyed it, Brian, we hope it helps. Thanks for checking it out🙏
Fantastic study- comparing such similar looking, sized and clubspeed golfers.
Absolutely LOVE the concepts you two address along with the subsequent remedial modifications you teach. Major props! But tell me, what is your take on the 'square to square' method, ala Mike Austin?
This is fantastic analysis - I had never even considered lead arm travel angles as a possible data point until now. Can’t wait to incorporate this on the range tomorrow. Thanks!
Most golfers haven't, but it's made a huge difference to a lot of swings!
Wow!! Great insights to the LAG! Thanks guy fantastic job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Is this the reason why some TP’s talking about staring their arms first on the down swing?
@@NeilWilliamspga yessir👊
just getting started but love these videos!
Really enjoyed this one..
awesome👊
Another facinating video from you Guys, so so informative.
Loving it ♥️🙏🏻 AMG for life ❤️🙏🏻
You're too kind brother🙏
Wow, now I understand more what lag is, thank you for great work.
Great content, I'd been missing the old Gears Pro -vs- Am videos.
Brian Felder us too😊
Very informative and useful, I will use this when training. Many thanks
What a gold mine of information. Right after watching this I went outside and noticed that my left arm was even further across my body than 44 degrees (not the 18 degree Pro limit). I correct this and I immediately felt my swing come together.correctly. I know you noticed this as well, but there is also a major difference in the head tilt between the Pro and the Amateur. The Pro's head tilts forward and the Amateurs head tilts backward! I made that change as well when I swung outside and noticed that I was making crisp, compressed contact! Thank you again!
Awesome! Great work there👊
Amazing information! Loved it!
Thank you brother!
Exactly what I needed. I was putting way to much effort into an extended backswing. Now have effortless power always knew I could produce. Thanks a lot
Because you didn’t give the muscles time to build up or you weren’t using the right ones this video is bs no pro looks like that in their swing their left arm almost reaches their right shoulder. Your never gonna get a 120 mph club head speed without extending your back swing
I would love to see a video on LAA. How you obtain a better position! Awesome video,
Nice to see & practice according.lots of improvement in my games.
That's awesome👏 Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much! These videos are amazing!
Super interesting. Reals vs feels! I was instructed to keep my left arm pinned to my chest a bit longer on the downswing (couple years ago), and it transformed my ball striking. No more fats. Face to path more reliable. No loss in distance -- though probably due to better strike rather than club head speed.
It might be, however, that what I feel -- longer connection in downswing -- might in fact result in better angles coming into impact. Will have to do some slow-mo vids face on to see.
Thank you for your work and your analysis.
Try to get someone to hold the camera up looking down at about 90º to your shoulder tilt. That'll give a better view of what's happening in this department👍
Wow! Such a good video, I had no idea how little they moved their arms across the body.
On to the range.
Great stuff. I am a "numbers" guy and this very clearly illustrates the concept of lag. Nice work.
One of your best! Thanks.
Thanks brother👊
Awesome video. Went to the range yesterday and found, like most ams, that I was doing this exact same thing. After trying not to abduct my left arm, I think that’s what it called, my right elbow was in a better position so it was easier to shallow the club and I was getting better shaft lean. For just the first time concentrating on this I was very pleased. Going to take more reps because it felt like I was taking a half swing and had a lot of miss hits. The journey continues....
Nice Steve! Let us know if we can help👍
So me. Plus my hands are also much higher at that delivery position.
No wonder I can't get shaft lean and a bent right arm at impact.
The recent Golftec discovery now starts to make sense as well, and/as it can only be done correctly with little left arm adduction.
This is probably the most enlightening golf video I ever watched, and I've watched thousands and had hundreds of lessons with top pros and the robot- many, many thanks!
We really appreciate the kind words and glad it helped! What's the recent discovery they made?
Ok this content alone made me slam that subscribe button! Been looking for this type of detail
Appreciate that slam, Chip!🙏👊
Agreed. I’ve done k vest etc and came away thinking it was physical limits, yet we know many great strikers who aren’t all that flexible or strong- certainly way less than me. Seems like talent! But I’d love to see a video where you show a student go from before to after. That would sell a lot of subscriptions! I’ve got a 16yo who’s opposite of me- all talent and carries the ball 310 with 125mph clubspeed and carries 7i 190 smoothly but he jumps and does a lot of athletic things that he probably doesn’t need to do to hit it solid and close to his distances. But when someone has talent you don’t touch it. In my case, I need all the help I can get. I’ll buy your course and see if I can come close to these positions! I’m also trying to train impact with DST club and the Impact snap and do find it makes my body figure out what to do.
Thank you guys for doing something that would cost us viewers so much money to get this kind of information. Tremendous help
thanks for putting these videos of out there. Great stuff. id be interested in seeing the sequence of the AM that's 25hdcp not the single guy. as you know, getting a single digit into better impact is a lot easier, relatively speaking than trying to get your 25 hdcper into better impact.
Love these videos! They are very informative. I would like to also point out that the ametuer never recentered his body weight. He looked to stay on his back foot.
Its a valuable knowledge about what I'm doing wrong at the time on the first tee where every body look up you what do you have thank you great video keep up !!!...it
Thanks for watching!🙏
Maybe the most eye opening golf video I've ever seen. I've heard "keep your hands out in front of you" many times in the past, but to actually see just how little pros pull the left arm across the body is staggering. I was a scratch golfer for years with my left arm folded up against my chest and even rapped around my body a bit. Oh what could have been.
You guys are in a different league to everyone else,I’ve learned so much just by watching your channel,🖖👊
Awesome, Ian, thanks so much for watching!🙏💯
Hi Guys, This has been one of my favorite videos from you. A question though, at the top of the backswing, I will move my right shoulder blade in towards the spine. This will help me to add just a bit more shoulder turn as well as beginning of a shift to the left. Doing so, with my left arm fairly elevated, it will bring my left arm a bit more towards my upper chest. I feel that because the arms are elevated that it's not a bad thing.
The diagram with the 6 pics on page 15m:15 secs shows only a 4 degree inward motion.
Your thoughts?
Thanks
THIS IS GOLD. GOOD JOB 👏👏👏.
"You don't have to be fit, you don't have to be young, you don't have to be hyper flexible..." Are you trying to sweep me off my feet, Mike?
😂NO 😂
I know right!?
They had me at "You don't have to be fit"!
Sub'd. Great stuff here. Amazing to see this rather than be told about it. Incredibly useful. Took your driver set up comparison to the range and dispersion tightened up.
Can you comment on the elbow position at the top in this vid about 4:49, in particular the point of the elbow pointing more to the rear than pointing more to the ground? Thought I saw it should point more to the ground at the top and what I've been trying for. Thanks for this series and your work.
How much should the lead arm be adducted at address? What is the common angle? I think many people are too adducted at address and it only makes matters worse. Any thoughts on this?
AMG is hands down (no pun intended) the best instruction outh there...i have one suggestion...i have been able to implement and physically accomplish 99% of your key knowledge swing concepts (proper pressure and center of mass change, hands faster down from top vertically while simultaneously shallowing club, right arm depth, pelvic angle more descending, etc etc) by Decreasing my back swing by 30-40%!!!!! Just thought id share. It was an epiphany moment...maybe i can slowly add more shoulder turn little by little but today i was hitting my 6i 190 yards with beautiful lower penetrating ball flight and my finish was so controlled and balanced...thanks guys
I think is one of the best channels to watch for strong data analysis to sharpen your game.
That pro left arm at delivery is deceptive...and amazing. Thanks guys!
Lead arm angle. I've found my problem. Thanks Mike.
Well done gentlemen!
Very helpful...Thanks!
Hi - great to see the ams vs pros comparisons back again! On the down the line shots though as well as the club face difference, the main thing for me and the mistake I fall into, is the the ams shoulders are still closed to target whereas the pro is at least square on at this point. So the am will end up with more of a flip to release as they have not cleared shoulders, hips etc?? Fixing that is the holy grail !!
Both still have closed shoulders at that point. The big difference with rotation, and one we'll cover in a future episode, is that most ams rotate more out of the top slowing the rotation into impact. The pros tend to do the opposite. So what you're seeing in the frames you mentioned is that happening.
Excellent video!
🙏👊
Very good Video, very good explanation. 👍
Glad you enjoyed, Manfred, thank you!
So thorough
Love these videos
This is amazing thanks.
🙏💯
Top Top Stuff!! Thank you!!!!!
Lately, I've just been feeling my impact position before I start my swing then feel myself swinging my hands back through that location. Works pretty well actually
Great vid, thanks
🙏👊
Another eye opening video! What is the arm abduction angel at impact? I would think its the same as club parallel but not sure. Thanks again!
It was a handful less than it was at address.
very very interressing ! nice video hello from france
Fantastic video and information.
Do the pros get the same delivery position well into the trail leg thigh for driver as you have shown with the 7 iron?
Yessir👍
This video helped me fix my early extension. I had my left arm WAY across my chest. By keeping my hands more in front of my chest, it shortened my backswing, allowed me to release the club later, and get the shaft lean and compression I've been wanting. Thank you !
great!
Is this supposed to be a commercial in a playlist of SNL Weekend Update Joke Swap?
Amazing! I've always thought that the pros adduct their arm more and that the lead wrist should be opposite the trail shoulder at the top.
catshitonthecarpet you were on 🎯👊
How many times have we heard a pro say, it feels like my left arm is pinned against my chest and the chest then turns and flings the arms. Feel vs real once again.
I have a concept that creates the magic force at impact, I believe it’s all timing, it’s as if the very butt end of the club and left hand actually stops or slows up to let the right hand lever the club, the hands have to be out front , it’s the shaft flexing and springing toward ball. That’s why the best at impact have their hands so far past center as the club head catches up. It’s this spring lever effect culminated with fast delivery that increases speed.
Awesome! Thank you ..
Unreal breakdown.
very helpful stuff
great video. I play baseball and I find parallels in the swing motion. Lag, compact swing and efficiency in the strike zone. Preparing the club face early and maintaining a swing path (baseball) are very similar. It would be fascinating to see a similar breakdown of a baseball swing.
We know a really good hitting coach who we're trying to get on GEARS and do some videos with. I think a lot of golfers like yourself would really be able to relate😉
Yes. It's interesting that it seems the baseball swing is easier to master, but the better you get at it, the better the competition and the pitcher throwing the ball at you. Hence, the speed of the ball in baseball as it approaches tests a different area of our anatomy and brain function: hitting a moving target. That's what makes golf so unique. The ball is just sitting there waiting to be hit. It seems so easy....Not.
@@wreckim Probably the hardest part about the golf swing... hitting a stationary ball from a stationary start😬
Thanks for very good video.
Thanks for watching!
I was genuinely a little sceptical when this video popped up in my feed, but the amateur swing is pretty much my swing. Some great things to work on!
Thanks for checking it out👊
mine too!
Hi there, great vids and great content! One thing I noted is that the Pros all have rotated more than the AM. All the Pros have their lead-shoulder further ahead than the AM, and thus all have rotted their hips more than the Am at arm parallel. Maybe something to look at for the creation of lag. Keep it rolling!
One thing we'll cover in a future episode is that most ams rotate more at the beginning of the downswing only to slow it as the downswing progresses, while the pros do the opposite.
@@AthleticMotionGolf Cool, looking forward to that! Thx
I really enjoyed your interesting observations and data on generating lag. Do you have any drills to achieve the ideal LAAs? Thanks!
I'd be VERY interested in that video, as well
This Gears 3D technology is amazing, and I found a local pro in Houston that has it, but he said he only uses it for club fitting, that it's too much trouble for lessons and you have to put on a special jacket, etc. Do you teach using Gears or just club fitting?
We only use GEARS for teaching. It takes about 90 seconds longer to set up for teaching than it does for club fitting.
Brilliant again. You guys should have the most subscribers for golf on UA-cam.
Anon we will if you’ll just get 1 million of your closest friends to subscribe 😁
One of the top 10 videos in golf
Hey guys, awesome video. Another one I like to revisit every so often.
I have a question about the LAA number at address. It looks like all players have the left arm angled towards the center of the body rather than straight out as would be expected with 90 degrees of LAA. You guys have also shown how the hands are more towards the right side or center of the body at impact, how can the left arm have over 90 degrees of LAA with the hands in that position? How is the LAA angle defined exactly?
great video!!! ty
best video explanations i've ever seen!
We glad u found it 😊🙏🏻
Thanks guys this video has helped me more then anything I've found in many years
I have been a fairly good golfer my whole life with my best handicap a 1. A few years ago I had some lessons and was hitting the ball further then ever. Pro saw in video my lag actually increased in the down swing.
Quit the lessons and my distance dramatically decreased over the last 2 Summers. The Pro video my swing to see why the loss in distance about a couple of months ago. Lag was gone. Video looked exactly like the am in the video. He gave some suggestions to help create lag and nothing helped over the Summer.
Watching your video I realized my left arm at address was connected to the front of chest rather then side. To get to the top of backswing this forced me to move the left arm independent of body turn to reach the top. I was forced to break triangle and center early in the swing, resulting in little lag
Once I positioned the arm so it was connected to the side of the chest. I began to maintain triangle and center and was able to complete my backswing turning the shoulders rather then lifting the arms
Bingo instant lag. My hands are arriving at the left knee in the downswing with the club head at 10:00. Previously it had been about 8:00 with the hands about 6 inches short of right knee
I practiced the move at home and twice at the driving range. After that I have played 3 times. Let's just say it's a lot more fun hitting a 8 iron into a long par 4 then a 5 iron. It's helped my driving that much
Keep the videos coming
U
Great stuff guys. Going to explore your pay site tonight.
DJP let us know if you have any questions👍
Great tip, I've picked up about 10 yards with a 7 iron since trying this along with a flat left wrist.
Tip!?!? Umm, that’s what you call an ‘education’ - this isn’t golf magazine.
Great video, guys! I've become a bit of a geek over the last 2 years or so when it comes to swing mechanics. I've learned a ton about this and why things need to happen the way they do (I know I still have tons and tons to learn :-), my buddies are sick and tired of me lol).
In regards to the lead arm adduction section of the video, you don't mention much about how to create more shoulder turn by using your hips and legs in the back swing. Not a lot of us are nearly as flexible as Rory and his buddies :-). That might be out of scope for what you're talking about specifically in this video, but for those of us that might not realize how shoulder turn is allowing the pro to move his arm less across his chest, some of us are probably going nuts trying to figure out how the pro is doing this and the amateur is not.
My guess is that because there is so much more shoulder turn from the pros (at least 90 degrees and in some cases a lot more) the lead arm doesn't have to move as much across the chest because the chest is rotating back (with the shoulders) along with that arm. Because we amateurs don't typically have that amount of shoulder turn, we tend to move our lead arm back across our chest more in an attempt to create a bigger back swing and get more club head speed (which, as I understand it, actually creates less speed). I suppose it's worth mentioning that a longer back swing, don'e correctly, has the added benefit of providing more time in the down swing to clear the lead side of the body allowing the hands to move in front of the ball. That creates shaft lean and a delofting of the club face, allowing for more compression and distance. There's more to it than that though! I know!
It would be great to know your thoughts on my comments. I've learned a lot, but I'm sure I got something wrong here! Thanks guys and please keep these awesome videos coming. Instant subscribe and maybe more. Heading to the website now. :-)
I was wondering the exact same thing. i sure wish they would have commented!!
Hey guys, love your channel. Clearing up so much misunderstanding, It would be interesting Matt Kuchar left arm. Also we need the next video on this. I think here many of us can improve.
