These are, by far, the best videos on youtube for golf. The fitness, stretching, and live lessons have been more than helpful. Thank you for doing them.
This is phenomenal, Larry you are the real deal! I went from hitting my 7 iron inconsistently between 150-170 now I'm hitting it 180-195. The bowed wrist and less wrist hinge really works!
Great vid Guys, I am amazed at how much change you installed into Johnny's backswing and how quickly Johnny got the feeling for the positions. I'm really looking forward to the rest of this series to see how the swing progresses!
Great stuff Larry! I'm new to your channel, got here via your work with Matt at TXG. Can't believe how quickly you can get a swing to look so different.
i'd like to share my progress with anyone reading this! I've gained a lot of effortless power trying Larry's concepts: The main things I'm doing (if you've been watching his vids you'll know what these are): 1) squat and jump 2) Heel to heel 3) better trail arm structure 4) tray drill to keep this brief... before: PW: 128--132 carry 7i: 158-163 carry After: PW: 140-145 carry 7i: 170-175 carry I'm dead serious about this. I just need to ingrain the changes and make them permanent! ** FULL Disclosure: I've been taking online lessons with James Robinson. I picked up 5+ yds with him, smoothing out my mechanics ( those are the before numbers) **
That's awesome, thanks for sharing! I do online lessons as well if you're ever interested =), you can email me at Larry@Larrycheunggolf.com about that if you'd like =)
Larry, do you ever collaborate with other instructors say like James Robinson if a student just has more than one instructor? Say because of travel? Probably doesn't happen often, just curious.
I've been working on the same type of thing and I found that getting taller and the hands a little higher at address, left wrist a bit extended made all the difference. It helped me be less handsy at takeaway and that got me wider and the tip tray position at the top happened almost automatically. Everyone has different feels that work for them but it might make things a little easier for you in the backswing. Worked for me.
This is awesome! I recently started working on some of the other aspects of your teachings in the downswing to try to get more speed but something was missing. I had the a-ha moment recently that my arms/elbows were not in the correct position and were impacting my ability to progress. I have started working to fix that, but I wasn't sure I was on the right track. The timing of this video is perfect as it highlights to me where my thinking was off and what I need to work on. I would rather come in for a lesson but seeing as I am 7 hours away, this will have to do, for now. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your methodology.
It is eerie how similar this swing is to mine. The backswing, the speed, the carry, the adding of loft, the arm turn, the miss.. it is like looking in a mirror. I will be following this series closely
Hi Larry. Doing your build your own swing since I can’t get to you on Toronto. Are we to keep connection under arm pits throughout swing? And could you do a vid on takeaway - like you showed Johnny in his 1st video where he was rolling the left arm? Thank you in advance.
Love this video and have a HUGE appreciation for what Johnny Wunder is trying to do. I’m actually 38 years old and am attempting similar goals within a similar timeframe. With all due respect...I would suggest that you do some reading on how the human brain learns and how badly humans are with body positioning. Humans are 100% scientifically proven to be AWFUL at repeating body positions. A great alternative would be to come up with tasks for your students to attempt that move them into the correct positions. Your students will thank you for it. Thanks for the video - Chris
Christopher Springer hey Chris, thanks for watching! I appreciate your comment but I think there may be a misunderstanding of how I get my clients to change movement. I very rarely put them into positions, most of the time I offer a suggestion, i could interpret it as a task if i May, that gets them moving in the way we want. So for example for Johnny, his task would be to stretch his hands behind him and tip the tray behind him. I’ve been very successful at implementing changes that last, so Id like to think I’m doing something right :)
Larry Cheung Golf - Thanks for the response Larry. I totally understand and I get that you’ve had success getting people to change their swings. However, I would question how efficiently/easily they can translate the changes to the course and shoot lower scores. The best golfers in the world are target-focused on the course. What normally happens when teaching positions is the person will inevitably try to move their new moves to the course and lose their target-focus in favor of attempting body positioning. At the last instant before impact the brain says “oh crap, make sure I hit the ball”...and the person goes from position-focus to ball-focus. The result is literally ANY number of things...most often over-the-top as this is the most efficient way for the human body to strike the ball. I’m not saying your methods can’t work...however, I will tell you that I have taken many lessons and received very similar teaching. What happened to me was that I improved somewhat...only to eventually regress back into my natural body motions because my task was incorrect. After researching LOTS of biomechanical information about how the body works and finding someone who teaches the swing based on task-focus, I saw HUGE progress in my game. Best regards to you and best of luck to you in all that you do. - Chris
Christopher Springer happy to hear you found your way to improve :) A player has to be technically good enough to play the golf they want and be target focused, no amount of target focusing will help someone add 10 miles of speed to their game without making improvements to their swing. There is a time and place where I transition players from making technical upgrades to prepping for play, but that time ain’t there yet for Johnny :)
@@LarryCheungGolf I totally get your point Larry. Thank you for taking the time to have this conversation with me. Good luck to you and Johnny in all that you do. Take care - Chris
Really loving this new series of lessons. It is very noticeable that Johnny's wrist at the top of the backswing changed in 25 minutes from being very cupped to completely flat. That is something I consistently need to work on
Any reason for not allowing 2 or 3 shots per progression, versus feedback on each one? Just curious as to the hit, stop, and review methodology it seems counterintuitive to developing feels.
I give video feedback when I feel like I need to, in Johnny's case, the feedback allowed him to understand and implement what is a pretty extreme feel that in alot of cases looks completely off in their own head, so video is necessary, you'll see in some of my other lesson videos that I don't show video as often, it really depends on who and what the situation calls for =)
Very curious to hear more about your swing theory Larry. The backswing stuff seems "against the grain" with a lot of other principals being taught, but there have been great results with consistency and speed form what I've seen on your channel and w/ the TXG folks. I'd be concerned about coming too far to the inside and being too far laid off at the top. Thanks!
Just a little feedback from someone who has been trying his ideas. I'm picking up distance, spin and control so far! the main things I'm doing (if you've been watching his vids you'll know what these are): 1) squat and jump 2) Heel to heel 3) better trail arm structure 4) tray drill to keep this brief... before: PW: 128--132 carry 7i: 158-163 carry After: PW: 140-145 carry 7i: 170-175 carry I'm dead serious about this.

@@LarryCheungGolf well i have bowed wrist issues also so im trying to over exaggerate also. I also struggle from long swing due to buckling arms thats why i love whats going on here.

Thank you Larry!! This is a top quality video second to none on YT!!

Great to see Johnny Wunder working on the swing. Can't wait to see him back with Matt and Ian getting fit again. Keep it up Larry!
Austin Lauer thanks, I’m excited to see where the fit will go :)
Excellent video and feedback Larry. Great stuff

This will be a good one for sure! =)
This was a great video for reminding me about how to keep my width in the back swing. Really enjoyed this one. Keep them coming.
Thanks for watching, tell your friends! =)
Great stuff Larry! I'm new to your channel, got here via your work with Matt at TXG. Can't believe how quickly you can get a swing to look so different.
The key is finding the right cue for the client and the client not being afraid to try something that they may think makes no sense =P

Jeff .England. Loving every minute of this and all your other vids.regarding the swing in having good results larry.keep up the good work
Thanks Jeff! =)
I’m sold on your teaching Larry. Sending you an email to see if we can meet while I’m in Toronto this spring.
that is fantastic progress in a short period of time. that position at the end of the video looks pretty perfect. keep it up johnny!
Chris Elerick he did a great job!!!
These are great Larry! Thank you for sharing!

he has a solid ball striking! wow!
Wow! Enjoyed this👍👍
Thanks! =)
Great session, guys.
GORGEOUS!! LUV IT! Thanks for sharing Larry
gold. thanks larry ;)
I have a bad shoulder and the same wrist angles and mr. wunder. I cant wait to go and apply this lesson to myself.
Hope it will help!

I have a few takeaway videos on the channel already, I don't put to much emphasis on keeping things under armpit for most people =P
I'm at 20 min of the video mimicking whats going on and I feel like a longer left arm would help me lol.. Back to video
I've been out in the back yard twice during this video, lol
I'm thinking of taking a sharp right corner when I go the top with no rotation or lifting. I'm playing right handed.
Thanks, Larry! :)

Good stuff! 👍

Hey Larry so is the club whipping inside more the camera angle or how do you do this without doing that
The club is going a little inside, but I don't mind in this case, not a big deal to me if everything else is good =)
How did Johnny’s golf year end up going this year?
Not sure, don't think he was able to make the time he wanted to originally to work on his game =)

Are they pre setting their wrists at address? (Like Stricker and one plane guys)
Wouldn’t that stop him from being too wristy?
pre setting your wrists like that doesn't mean you won't be too wristy, it could help, but its no guarantee
Can't wait to watch the second lesson....
Dr. Q. Second half of this lesson will publish tomorrow :)
I am much worse than him. Struggle with ball contact, Shoot 120 or so. Need help.
Did he ever qualify?
unfortunately not =)

Tipping the tray is hard but managable at the top. However trying to maintain that through the follow through feels like my wrists wull break.
This is pretty extreme and for Johnny in this case, may not be for you =)
