  • In this video I will be answering the question that I get from soooo many of my students and surprisingly I haven't heard many coaches talking about the real reason behind it..
    I am also sharing 2 drills that can give you a good feel for what needs to happen in order for you to keep your lead arm straight with relative ease!

    This video is awesome! I’ve taken lessons and watched a ton of golf videos and no one has covered this issue with this level of explanation. You are the man, keep up the great work.

    Wow, up until now I could feel my elbows bending in the back swing. This technique completely eliminated both issues and I can't believe no-one else demonstrates this - like you do. So glad to find the video.

    I have taken the whole winter of 23 and 24 to work on my golf swing and I am suffering with extension through impact, I can keep the arms straight just past the ball, but when I start to release I have ever so slight of a chicken wing in my left arm as a right handed player.I am going to try this drill today in the track man. My sequencing has been off for 36 years and it’s hard to retrain but this makes perfect sense many thanks.

    Everyone of your instructional videos have been very beneficial to my game. I am very happy I found you and I look forward to each new video you put out each week. I highly anyone just beginning with golf or struggling with their game they watch your videos carefully and take the time to learn them and adopt them into your routine. If you listen carefully and practice the routines, your ball striking and your game should show improvement.I have been watching for about a month and I have already seen about a five stroke improvement in my game.

  • @guidogirolami8359

    Since I retired in 2019 I’ve been dedicating myself to improving my golf game. Towards that end I’ve watch hundreds of videos on UA-cam, practiced what I’ve seen and played golf without consistent improvement. Starting in march 2023 I came across your videos and they are, in my opinion, the best ones on UA-cam. You explain everything in an easy to understand manner and walk through all the steps for a good swing and also the most common errrors. The videos have helped me tremendously. Best golf teacher and golf instructor on UA-cam. Keep up the great work Jonathan.

    • @TomOnTheRun
      @TomOnTheRun Рік тому

    Wow this really is awesome. I am a 78 years old bloke and felt I was now inflexible. But this video helps me look and play more like a pro than a hacker. Also I have found it helps stop me swaying when keeping my lead arm straight which was my greatest fault. Thankyou so much Prof Richard Weston Rothley Park GC

    Like all this content, some new perspectives… and I’ve watched a lot of UA-cam golf.
    Only thing I’d add was the feel of pushing down the butt of the handle with the lead hand - this cocks the wrist but also straightens the arm. The more you push down the more the arm wants to straighten

    Jonathan, I can't thank you enough for this video. I was a 5 handicap golfer before I took up bodybuilding years ago and the size I have gained particularly across my upper body, has caused exactly what you describe here. My swing is literally half of what it should be. I have been working on my flexibility will start using these drills tomorrow to aid in getting my body to rotate correctly again.
    Thank you for a simple to understand lesson.

  • @MPerski
    @MPerski 2 роки тому +8

    ELBOWS IN! 👍🏻
    Great advice, pretty much THROUGHOUT the swing … setup, backswing, downswing, impact, followthrough, etc.
    Also, maintaining your arms structure (straight arms) is critical to maximize swing arc.
    Keep up the good work, Jonathan 👏🏻

Brilliant drills to practice at home while we all wait to get back on to the course again. Thanks so much and keep it up

    Wow! I just happened to learn golf this past month. My coach that i often chicken wing it. Pulling my left arm early. I could’ve swear that I understood what need to happen (left arm straight after impact and thought i did extend my arm straight)
    But having seen this video, it totally made sense! This explains a lot..
    Will try this method, hopefully I will corrected my follow through.. thank you so much!

  • @shug2795
    @shug2795 Рік тому

    EXCELLENT...EXCELLENT...EXCELLENT!!! Why? Because I don't need to invest in fancy equipment or gimmicks. It is something I can do ANYWHERE that I have the time. It provides an immediately measurable assessment of your swing - you don't even need to video yourself!! This addresses my personal challenges to a tee. At 68, I think my lack of R.O.M. is restrictive. In fact, I have poor posture through-out the swing. Yes...I'm not as flexible as I was but I'm not trying for my card either. Finally, it brings to light that in order to improve at golf, you need to work on these things at home and NOT at the range where we become ball-focused and keep doing things improperly...repetitively. If I can't develop critically fundamental form/posture here at home, why am I trying to hit balls anyway?!?

    Perfect just what I need I definitely fall into the lack of chest rotation with arm breakdown especially post impact

  • @s1dest3p
    @s1dest3p Рік тому +3

    The biggest issue I think, that's not mentioned in this video, is that the left arm is bending because people aren't using it. That left arm should be pulling the club into the ball and if you're doing that, it's pretty much impossible for that left arm to bend through impact.

  • @ibarbadillo123
    @ibarbadillo123 2 роки тому +1

    Thanks Jonathan for that Punch drill…that makes sense for a better rotation in the backswing which ultimately causes a better follow through the ball. Appreciate your help … love your channel … keep it up.
