Actually, that was the most sensible video I have ever seen on here in a while. I am always open to combining and mixing and matching for whatever fits into my needs, and this certainly fits in. To each his own I always say. The moral of the story is, after a good setup then swing for the fences. Yes, that suits my eye. Thanks
just tuned into your channel a few days ago . i tried to put into practice at least some lessons in this video and I made my 1st hole in one , a nice high 150yd 7 iron . Thanks !!!
I am a single digit handicap who is self taught. I have watched tons of videos. This is the best golf explanation l have ever heard. It is the key to the golf swing. For one end of the golf club to go down the other end must go up. This is done with body turning left as you swing up and left (exiting left )
Tks Steve
I am a novice golfer. I've tried other techniques I found on UA-cam and from PGA instructors but nothing has gave me more confidence in my game then practicing the techniques In your videos. I appreciate you taking the time to make them and it's helping me gain a lot more confidence and control in each swing in my game. Subscribed.
Cheers Byrd!
60 year old golfer Just to say Thanks Steve .Your swing thoughts and descriptions have helped me a lot my handicap has gone down 10 shots since i started practicing your tips . Im now able to keep it out of the tees and alot straighter than ever before . Great work
Right on!!!
Wow, I wish I would have found you 30 years ago! Another amazing insight, and again never heard of this concept explained like this. Golf can be such a complex game if you think too much; the beauty of your teaching is the visualization and concepts are so simple to apply. Thank you.
Thanks and Cheers Mark!
I watch one of your cast went out and hit 10 consecutive pitching wedges pure wow thank you
Thank you Steve for this video. For a long time I have felt like I was 'this close' to hitting the ball like I wanted to. Between this video and your 'chair drill' motion in my hips I am hitting 7 irons into greens instead of my 4 hybrid or 5 wood.
Wow that's a huge difference! Cheers!
I am a big student of your videos
I really believe you have the best teaching videos ever. This is my second week studying your videos
It’s the best feedback l have received ever. Now I am a solid 7 hdcp feel like a 4 👍
Thanks 🙏 ❤️👏👏👏
Thanks for watching!
I like it. I had a tendency to drive the club down rather than getting that chest to turn. Looking forward to try it.
Going to practice this today and try to swoosh up ...thankyou ....i needed this concept
I can’t get over the massive perpendicular left foot to parallel left foot move. I haven’t seen a video on this yet? I’d Love to hear about it.
Steve, As always a great video ...BTW I think you have accomplished your mission to hit it longer
Please do more on this!!!
Impressive. Training your body & brain to swing up & around while aiming at the ball, seems tricky. But, I will have to try it.
Awesome swing tip! My biggest fault is hitting irons fat and by using this idea of swallowing out my swing and not hitting down even with my wedges, It has improved by ball-striking significantly. Thanks for sharing and now a new subscriber!
Great visual and swing thought. Thanks!
You are correct. It is my opinion that hitting down on the ball is a myth. You would have to hit above center to do so. Your hands may be going in a downward path but contact is below center with the club traveling forward under center striking with upward loft. It is a different way of understanding the reality of the swing. Thank you.
I’ve never thought of it like this. Can’t Waite to try this.
Great description of what you need to do to increase distance, works on both irons and driver
I thought you were supposed to use the woosh stick with the ball up by your hands and then develop a swing that moves it to the bottom when you swing it? Is that right or wrong?
You're a good teacher. Keep it up love your advice
Steve, I notice your incredible foot work on the first slo mo. During your swing your right foot moves behind you to a closed stance then your left foot actually hops forward and open towards the target. Perhaps you could do a video explaining the effect this has on your weight shift and ultimately how it effects where the low point in your swing occurs. Thanks
A video detailing footwork would indeed be very helpful. Transition from back swing to forward swing is my biggest problem area. Thanks!!
Steve, Thank you for your continuing efforts to help us hit the golfball longer and straighter.
Can you comment on the notion of rolling the ankles while swinging through the stroke?
Jack Nicklaus in his book Golf My Way mentions doing excercises for this when learning to swing in his younger get years.
Are you familiar wit the concept?
Did Mike Austin mention ankle rolling in your work with him?
Jack said it helps to use the legs in his swing.
I am trying to understand it.
Keep up your good work. You are truly a blessing to many of us trying to improve our golf swing.
Cheers,
Mike
Yes the rolling in of the ankles is paramount in making the hips and knees work efficiently.
Great video
Love this. I’m tired of hitting my 7 iron 135 yards.
If i were to put on 50 extra pounds i can get 15 more yards out of my 7 bar. Just kidding pro. Love the content.
Do you have a video on stop pushing off your front leg to early which causes a person to fall back on the down swing?
I’ve always dreaded using my irons. Will definitely give this a go on the range.I’ll let you know how I get on
Steve, this makes a LOT of sense. Would be great to see the same from down the line and in front view?
As in simultaneously?
Sorry, with the camera in front of you. Seems like you’ve shot a few from that angle. The part about hitting the falling ball or swatting the fly up into the follow through would be great to see from the front view. Thanks
@@mpeter7471 Agree. Thanks for the idea.
Interesting way to look at it
This has changed my game more than any single other tip or information I’ve ever gotten....along with wrapping the pole...I wish you could see it for yourself...and I have just begun my road down the Austin swing path.....I’ve already gotten the results of what I wanted to see the very first swing I took like this...no practice, went to the course and hit one 275 down the middle dead straight and high....this man knows what he’s doing people.
Steve you’ve helped me immensely! I’ve noticed you step with your right foot through the ball is this something that will with rotation?
Yes and it eases the stress on the lumbar spine from the turn through.
I think you’re ace :) thanks for all the help.
It's really effective and workable for easy swing.
Man you’re awesome. I just laughed out loud.
Steve: Do you use same setup technique hitting irons as you do with driver? It looks like you play ball back towards the middle of your stance and then do the three things you did with driver; left arm tight to pec, hip shift, and right knee flex.
Great vid Steve 👌
Thanks Steve for sharing all you do...I've been working hard on forward lean but can't seem to get it embedded. Do you do video lessons? I'm in Ireland...
Great!
I've learned not to doubt you 😀
One thing I noticed is a powerful, dynamic takeaway and backswing. Can you comment on that?
Thanks Kenny.
Another great one!
You move your lead foot out on your downswing which promotes this move. If you don't do this the swing and chest turn is diminished?
I'm not even conscious of it. I'm sure I could turn my chest without it.
Thanks for the reply, only have to master this move now. Actually just watched Rahm hit his drive from behind at Winged Foot (on television) he does the same.
Steve its great watching your vids far way ahead of the rest on UA-cam. just a question i hear so often golfers say you should come from inside to outside , is this to create a draw? if so can you create a draw from swinging ( in to square to in) path. thanks great videos always
You could draw the ball from outside to in as well. As long as the face is closed to the path.
Will swinging a orange whip and getting the sound out in front of ball work.
Ive always liked your instruction. The bottom line is, if you rotate properly, you will always keep lag.
What I've noticed is how your left foot changes position at the top of your backswing. The result is your left foot is way open, allowing your hips to finish square to the target. Can you discuss that? I open my stance, but not to that degree. I see many players who seem to put alot of strain on their left knee. For my part, if if use the conventional wisdom, my knee starts to scream and I can barely walk after 11 or 12 holes. It really looks like a critical component of your swing. Looking forward to your response.
I think I saw a video with Mike Dunaway describing a rotating plane - is that an Austin concept and if so do you picture the hula hoop at the left post pointing at 8 o'clock?
The plane doesn't rotate. It simply implies a curve or arc. That's a Dan Shauger concept.
@@Inmotion70 Thanks, you are right, it was a Dan Shauger video not Mike Dunaway.
@@sandeepstar Gotta be careful with those.
Steve would you say that it is helpful when trying that to swing a bit more around your body versus vertical or steep?
I think you need the right blend. Most average golfers get too vertical coming down though.
@@Inmotion70 that seems like me. I tried it last weekend and hit some good shots, in my garage yesterday it didn’t feel right and the only thing I can think of is that in the garage I was taking the club more down the target line and ending up with a more vertical swing which made it too hard to go up and left.
I’ll experiment. Thanks for this video, please feel free to make a another video where you go into a bit more or “crazy detail”.
Thanks for what you share!!
I notice your left foot pivoting or sliding toward the target, rather that the “land on side of the foot talk”. Do you do this intentionally or consciously? I have the getting stuck swing down pat!
Nothing I do consciously or purposely.
Great video. Would the same swing thoughts apply to the driver although the club is positioned more forward at address?
Yes! One universal swing feel for all clubs.
What about that left toe turn at the top? Like.
"WHIPPING" for speed and "BEYOND impact" for power!
So your saying, after the ball has been struck already to apply even more force into the shaft to create a swoosh after impact? That doesn't even make sense. If I try to accelerate the shaft past follow through, I spin out miserably and fall out of balance. I guess this is an advanced drill. Another thing is that you used that training aid with the ball already preset at the end of the shaft, what if you slid it back up near the grip and did this motion? Would the ball on the shaft not shoot out near or slightly past impact? I would think the swing is over at that point since all the energy has gone out of the shaft and the ball is long gone already. So the momentum from the strike glides into the finish from there. UPDATE: OK, I just tried this again and now see that it is the right arm that really feels like it swings out there straight. I was focusing on the left arm which screwed up my balance. Is this correct?
Listen again. The top speed IF THERE WAS NO BALL should occur 30 inches after. The collision with the ball slows it down about a third so in that case the fastest speed will be 1/100" before impact.
@@Inmotion70 I'm going to have to pick up one of these speed swoosh's and work with it. I understand what your saying now about making up for the collision of the ball. I really love how your tips and over all golf instruction is improving my swing. The biggest improvement for me is the lower body pivot with proper foot work and finally realizing that if I miss to the right, it is almost always due to my head not staying back properly. Some one suggested to keep the left ear behind the ball skyward and suddenly, my ball striking started to improve for the better. I don't have a lot of time to practice so I have to just do a lot of drills and shorter shots with a sand wedge or other clubs into a net. I have things going straight at the slower speeds but only get it out there about 70 or 80 yards so if I can't even get past 100 with the sand wedge I pretty much know I won't have much separation between the other clubs. Just need more work, I know. My backswings tend to be too long or collapsing at the top when I look at video of the swing.
How do you apply this move with the Driver?
It looks simple and I can crush a baseball or a tennis ball. But hitting a golf ball feels almost impossible!
11:57 in the top of backswing, your club was facing to the sky instead of to the front, did you do it unconciously?
I'd call it a flaw that I'm working on.
@@Inmotion70 Is there any impact on the distance or accuracy? I've seen this in some Mike Austin videos and current PGA players (like DJ).
@@TheYacacam I just have to clear a bit harder and modify my hand action through impact.
No disrespect intended but what credentials do you have as a instructor? You make sense in the vids I've watched but your feet move more than any other instructor I have seen. It looks like a baseball swing almost. Does your left foot open so your hips follow?
Great medicine
I never take a divet so I know I am doing it wrong
There is a lot of movement in that front foot.
I just think about letting my knees touch.
I mean you're still swinging down at the ball though
Wow. You have a great swing. Very envious. Appreciate the great instruction but you do lose some credibility with me when you try to sell me stuff.
Talks to much before showing anything. Get to the point quicker.
Another stupid comment
Talk too much...staright to the point pls
Stupid comment. Learn to spell
Far too much talking and self congratulations
Golf is hard. Self congratulations is necessary and recommended!
What a stupid comment Patrick
