Aimee, I was a tennis player turned golfer. everybody's been telling me for years how I pause so long at the top that it is incorrect, yet I hit the ball much further than most women. It is truly refreshing to hear you confirm that that's the way to hit with the body. I love your videos.
Aimee, this tip, TURN ~ PAUSE ~ BODY is invaluable. So much so I watch your video every day. And watch it many times before a game. I played several shots today that were effortless but went a good distance thanks to you. I have found you need to trust your swing but do as you say. THANKS
I really had a difficult time pausing at the top for a three count. I had no idea I was swinging with my arms as you described in the video. However, once I tried the three count pause and the step drill in front of my bathroom mirror I got it almost immediately. I am enjoying going to the range and practicing now. I plan to take the step drill to the course as my practice swing to keep my tempo in check. Thank you Aimee, you are a great instructor!
Aimee, I love how you get right to the poin in all of your videos. With many youtube videos the instructors talk for minutes before they get to the point.
Great lesson again Aimee. After following some of your basic swing tips for beginners last night i flushed every single club out of the middle today! And strait as arrows too. And could call fade and draw shots! Im over the moon you have helped me find the missing piece!!!😍😍😍 im a 14 handicapper. Your the best Aimee!!!!
Aimee - thank you for the clear explanations. I watched the setup video last night, and discovered that I was putting too much weight on my heels. At the driving range today, it took a while to get used to putting my weight on the balls of my feet, but the difference it made was tremendous. Thanks again!
amazing video Aimee, going to try this at range, was struggling out of bunkers recently and came a cross your videos, such great videos. Excellent coaching , really enjoying your videos
I think the pause at the top is something that would benefit both high and low handicappers. For low handicappers, even with the swing thought that you begin your upper and lower body downswing at the same time, your lower will still inevitably lead. I still remember those old articles from Tom Kite that emphasized this point...but I think Aimee describes it very well.
I LOVE these videos!!! I am a very new golfer... My husband and I try to have weekly golf dates and to my surprise, I am HOOKED on golf! However..I do need advise if possible... I am a very large breasted woman, so it's awkward for me to get the right grip and set up angle on my clubs... is there anything I can do to help with my swings by adjusting my stance or am I going to have to settle for a lesser range of motion? THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can easily stop at the top but I still do not understand at all when you or anyone mentions that you cannot use your arms to hit the ball but you have to use your body. I'm a beginner and I do not understand this concept. I can stop at the top, then move my body, but it's not that suddenly my swing will follow by just moving my body. I have to do something actively with my arms maybe shoulders to make the swing go, so I'm confused each time I hear this. I know I do not really have much of muscles in my arm, but I definitely do use them in some way. Could you please explain this? Besides my question, I do like watching your channel a lot and try to implement what I learn from each lesson.
It is a subject worth working on, Ilja, because I 100% believe that, in a proper golf swing, you should NOT use the arms at all to swing the club. You cannot swing your arms fast enough using arm muscles to get the clubhead speed you are capable of. The power for the swing comes mostly from the hips (and proper sequencing, of course). Two professional teachers who can explain this to you are Aimee and Paul Wilson. They both teach this most important subject well (but Aimee is much prettier). Paul Wilson even claims that NO professional golfer uses his arms as a power source in the swing. That is astonishing to hear!
My great question: do we grip the shaft with a loose fingers or strong or both are correct as long as we can create a good club head speed thru the ball. Tx
"Grip" is a very unfortunate term, because it implies a strong hold, whereas in fact you should grip the club as lightly as possible, only firm enough to stop it slipping out of your fingers during the swing. A golf club handle is encased in textured rubber; not just to cushion the vibration of the impact, but to provide a friction hold. Wearing a soft glove on the leading hand increases the friction between hand and handle, further reducing the need for pressure. The reason a soft grip are important is that the golfswing is not a swing - it's a sling! It's a jointed-arm swing, with your wrists as the joint between the upper and lower parts of a jointed arm (the upper part is your arm and the lower part is the clubshaft). A soft grip does not tense your forearm muscles, which enables the wrists to pivot without resistance during the latter part of the downswing, in a kind of double-pendulum motion, the same dynamics as a shepherd's sling shot.

Maybe stupid question @Golf with Aimee, but at the peak of your backswing shouldn't your club be parallel to the ground? Your backswing looks tiny bit shorter, is that okay?
Hi James, I think it's a great question. With irons I have better coil & control when I keep it slightly shy of parallel. Max coil is better than forcing the club to get to parallel. Especially if you don't have the best flexibility. Hope this helps!
AIMEE I AM SEARCHING FOR A VIDEO YOU MADE WHERE YOU WHERE SHOWING PEOPLE HOW TO GET TO 90 DEGREES. YOU USED A HOGAN LIKE DRILL WHERE YOU MOVE BACK AND FORTH TO GET TO THE HANDSHAKE. YOU TOLD PEOPLE TO DO IT 100 TIMES

Million Dollar instruction, thanks Aimee!
This is the most beneficial advice I have ever had, my tempo is improving as long as I remember to time my swings
Thanks
Your instruction is to the point and easier to follow. Look forward to other of your golf tips. Thanks

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great advice 🙏🏻
I tend to swing too fast at times and especially when under pressure 🤷🏼♂️ cause I want so bad to do it correctly and to play well☺️
Great video. Thank you Aimee.
Outstanding lesson! Thank you!
great tip on the pausing at the top....
I love this advice.
I will try it. thank you
Thank you Aimee
Great drill.......thank you! I have been working on my tempo (0;
I actually learned this today before I watched your video so this confirms what I did and what a great tempo you can have, thanks
Do you possibly have, in your library, any videos for seniors that are beginners, and are having problems with tempo. Thanks so much for your help.
Thanks aimee, your instruction is so clear
Great video Aimee. Just so I am clear on what you are saying, are you pulling the club through impact with your upper body rotation?
+Jp Pierce Thank you, yes correct sequence of downswing is pelvis torso arms then the club.
great swing you have
Very good tips.
Awesome'....!
Hi Aimee would you do a video on the half swing with drill and feel...?Thank you in advance, i'm a new fan of your approch
i think I am officially in love with Aimee.....
Perfect
You and millions
lovely !! as always
Thank you so much 😀
How do your arms connect to the body? Of course they are connected by the shoulders but will they follow always correctly?
amfohr you have to train your body so it feels normal for them to move in sync
Thank you so much
Amazing
You're awesome, Aimee
Aimee, you are amazing

its a sequence of moves in a particular order , you still swing your arms but in tune with the other sequences

I hear a spanish accent in Aimee’s voice. 😊
Fred Couples style.
Why does Aimee sound like she has a Spanish accent? 😊

She is talking about rhythm, not tempo.
