Nothing I have ever been taught has made more sense than this. I would get upset with myself for not moving my hips before the arms. But half the time, even if I did start with my hips, I would straighten up and thin the ball. Gankas taught me to start with knee movement. The hips follow. I never have to remember that anymore. They just follow. Then I launch into a pelvis up contact while the left arm still points down in front. My hip "position" is perfect without thought. This is a game chaqnger!
@13:20 not sitting on your back foot which many people think. Like George has said a million times you needed to get pressure forward, just in proper sequence. Also don’t forget a key component, right lateral bend to make sure the body is balanced around the spine. You can get it wrong and easily end up back legging it if you’re afraid of the bump/slide
My advise, look at lots of is clip on the GG channel, (even if he has leaved that channnel, the guy who runs it use the clips)... I have bought George's serie about the Pivot & I think in this bref chat with Travis he sums it up... I was not really thrilled about the Pivot Serie that they are selling at GG SwingTips, I was hoping for drills & in my opinion it's lacking
Hi George, thanks for all the help. Your instruction has helped me with my ball striking. I do need a little direction about posture though. I’m 6’7 and wanted to make my posture is correct. I feel like I’m a little more bent over than most people and this causes my butt to stick out a little more. Is this ok? Or should I work on getting it more ticked in? Thanks
He's a swing guru and arguably an oily salesman who obviously rushes through his presentation to intentionally confuse the viewer and leave their mind spinning. He's essentially pulling the wool over people's eyes. He does it in every video. It's funny to me that people don't realize that he's intentionally being very confusing, speaks quickly, and uses whacky terminology which would boggle the majority of viewers. It's a classic deception technique to get people intrigued. To believe he has some revolutionary thoughts that you could only gain access to if you are anointed. Just like a cult leader. LOL!
I love the video, and I love both of your expertise. What is a good thought to get that first move in the downswing? I always want to push, shift, and I end up flipping the cluster a lot. As I get older (54) it is also hurting my back to do this.
You guys should just team up full time. I like the varied vocabulary between you two. It helps connect some of GGs ideas to more traditional teaching and illustrate how his modern swing is different than the old. I think I understood this video better than the average GG swingtips vid.
Here’s the recipe: (1) Be somewhere north of 30. (2) Sit in a chair at your office five days a week and don’t work out or stretch. (3) From comfort of your couch on Sunday, watch Matthew Wolff swing and win. (4) Get excited and start watching George Gankas videos such as this one while you swing a club in your house. (5) Go to range and try these moves on your own. (6) Limp or crawl into office of an orthopod, get MRI and prescription for six-eight weeks of physical therapy. (7) Move on to next swing idea and announce-for 5,000th time-I got it!
You mentioned in an email clinics you were doing in Florida. Are those dates and locations posted anywhere in your website? I’d love to go to Florida for a clinic.
Gigs assumptions are incorrect. It’s not a binary error from his “posture error” observation. John Wright says shaft lean eliminates both early extension AND “throwing your angles”. Here, we see gig spit words without knowledge. But, he wears his hat wide... so that’s cool. Wright has been advocating a flat downswing for years. Hell... a decade. And, with an open stance, it happens automatically, over time.

After this I'm done with golf, have no idea how to address the ball let alone try to hit it...lol

Yes, he knows the swing, but over complicates it in a teaser video to sell memberships which is fine for him, but Every time I watch his stuff my head spins and my swing gets f'd up. Then I go back to Mike Malaska, get the natural swing feels back, and I'm all good. The golf swing isn't rocket science. I understand golf inst. is big $$, but it's a shame that Travis would jump on this kind of confusion instruction when it doesn't have to be. It might be the latest golf instruction to blow up YT, but you could never learn the swing from his videos. GG is great at selling his style, but not truly concerned about growing the game with easy to understand teaching for struggling golfers.
I like George..he's cool but I had some difficulty implementing his technique. I switched to Kelvin Miyahira and am having some success now. Nice post...thanks.
travis, how to get more airbone with my golf ball on an uphill fairway its seem i am too short with my drives around 155-160yards and about 180 in a flat surface, my golf handicap is 12, my name is peter, thank you for your advices
I have just discovered this after seeing Matt Wolf - he has one thing correct - maybe two - his name is correct, and the statement on the swing sequence not being static P1 ect. positions but motion sensitive are absolutely correct. Regarding external rotation / I have never seen anyone lay the club horizontal as he demonstrates on the transition unless we switch to baseball. ( the movements he describes are nano movements- not broud strokes unless he is referring to beginners) Golf needs characters like George rock n roll bro! :) Ps. Hogan pushed off his right instep early in transition, Hogan also flared his left foot. You should address these issue or your opinion! ✌️
I think for the ones who want to hit the ball far then we should only listen to one and only late Mike Austin. The world record holder of the longest hitting on tour 512 yards, yr 1975 with old wooden clubs and the age of 63. He was the best golf coach ever lived. Is methods worked then so they should work now. Even tiger woods never beat his drive. Check his videos. G g swing tips never played on their tour say no more.
I've been saying Adam Scott has been on his toes for YEARS. Look at old video and you can see his heels are almost off the ground. Great stuff!!!! Especially for all us bad posture guys!
yup, stumbled on this the other day in another video, went straight to range. Ball striking was so much better and the outside in was greatly improved, I think I was able to stay down and clear better...
You have a choice. You can immerse yourself in George Gankas UA-cam videos and then take your “learning” to the driving range and practice Gankas moves until you get a good, serviceable swing that you can play with for the rest of your life. The other thing you can do is have yourself dropped into the middle of a remote wilderness with no food, water, map or compass. Same result, less agony.
When ever you can meet a coach who can beat his PGA Tour student (Sung Kang) while being a full time teacher, you listen Men. By the way coaches are meant for coaching, players for playing.
Yada, yada, yada.......Can anyone name me any professional players who "move off the ball" (meaning to sway backwards from the ball....includes the head moving back)?....I am a big believer in keeping the head still (as still as possible) throughout the golf swing.....swaying is a swing killer....
you guys don't understand how moving laterally and then rotationally is successfully accomplished...thus is the problem with methods and speaking categorically about golf instruction, as you're both doing
@@arjanpetersen Oh so I guess you know exactly where every part of your body is during the golf swing. My apologies. I guess all of those scientific studies about internal vs external focus in attention to motor skill learning is just hogwash.
@@3rdgroove Knowing where all of your body parts are in a swing at the same time is impossible. Positioning your body parts during the swing is impossible. Internal focus causes the body to freeze from manipulations. The brain works better through external focus like giving yourself a task. Like "Cut through the blade of grass" instead of "Hold my elbow at 75 degrees"
Sabre Gold He has said that some players can get away with some flaws, but most would better off to use some of his fundamentals, and he can work with these players they just need to make a few extra moves to compensate. Justin Thomas’s backswing is in line with his teaching as is the way he shallows the club, he just unloads a little too much too early with is right leg.
I don’t think he knows what he is talking about. Yes he has a lot of student that’s successful, and also they all started golf young. Teach kids is very different than teaching adults.
simply speaking, GG stands for Garbage of Golf !!! I mean it !!! this guy cannot make even a decent shot !! his mouth is absolutely good !!! only mouth !!!
Wow, now I get what GG has been preaching, thank you Travis for interviewing George.
One of the best q and a’s I have heard with George with someone who gets it.

It is so much easier to follow along with what he is explaining when his students aren't involved like on his own channel. Great video!
GG is one of those guys where the mechanics of the golf swing are just instinctual.
Who could be hating on George. He deserves respect and Brandie Chamble should shut his pie hole! 🏌️⛳
FUCK BRANDIE SHAMPOO.
This makes an incredible amount of sense. How about a drill for that move? That would awesome! Thanks

Best job I’ve seen interviewing GG, pretty Gucci
Had a lesson with GG last summer. Wish I lived closer.
George is one of the best out there! Getting the golf swing to kind of fix it self is a great way to do it!
BEST instruction I have ever heard = I coach golf daily -
GG, Thanks for your insights. Do you think using a swiveling chair to sit and swing would demonstrate rotation without sliding?
George is a legend.
Thanks Travis. That was cool instruction and interaction between you guys. Man his brain works fast!
Hi George, thanks for all the help. Your instruction has helped me with my ball striking. I do need a little direction about posture though. I’m 6’7 and wanted to make my posture is correct.

As much as I love George's golf swing instruction, I just wish my brain worked as fast as his explanations!

quick & to the point

My game has massively improved through squatting and turning all thanks to GG
GG IS BRILLIANT
Great segment! George's sequence is a simple way to hit consistently once understand his method.
This must be the clearest explanation of GG’s ideas yet. His own YT videos are a mess.
One fo the best 'tube-channels out there.. Keep up the good work mate!!
One of the best … if not the best!

Wow super excellent.
I hit the ball far but float thru hitting styles.
Wow so much breakdown here.
Flying left hip ...killer of the golf swing

At the end of the video, George states "anyone who was any good lays off the shaft and turns through the ball"......you mean like Steve Stricker?????
MAN, Billy Casper didn't make it that complicated!
12:00 mark - eureka!
Its easy to see whats wrong with a swing. The trick is fixing it.
Not one of the best. THE BEST!
I've been saying Adam Scott has been on his toes for YEARS. Look at old video and you can see his heels are almost off the ground. Great stuff!!!! Especially for all us bad posture guys!
Best theories
What did he say?
He's the man .
His buzzword is, " that's money."
My favorite is frog babby
If you implement one thing GG teaches - armpits over center of feet, you will improve. He gets the credit for that message. Not rocket science.
