This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "golf head moving forward on downswing" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Penamillorn Peerless Prevalence - (search on google ) ? It is a great exclusive product for discovering how to learn an effective golf swing method without the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate got great success with it.
Thank you for posting a very easy to understand explanation of how to release the clubface into the ball. I have struggled with this all my life despite being a low single digit player. My release was based on timing and that is why I was not very consistent. The right hand off drill will train the left hand to square the face. Thank You
I would completely disagree with the "over complicating golf swing" statement of "golfinguna" person. This is the complete opposite what you think / say, the simplest explanation of what the basics of golf swing is, gosh, if I could only tell you how much Mike's instructions have helped me to be a better player! If you think "over complicated" come and meet my instructor in Chicago! :-)
Hello Paul, I hope you are doing well today. I'm Patti from Long Beach California, just looking for new friend and i saw your pic here Ok! Merry Christmas to you.
I couldn’t disagree more. It’s similar. I know what your saying but his forearms always rotate. I think they word twist or roll is more what he refers to as being against
Just got that right hand down now adding left for better control so one hand drills. Can one just use pressure in left hand fingers for this or is whole hand rotation feel
Golf is so much easier (and plenty powerful) the Ballard way; no rotating the left arm and keep the club face square to it's arc. The only reason for rotating the left arm is to compensate for lifting the left arm and swinging the triangle open to it's plane while keeping the club shaft reasonably on plane. It works ok, but compared to leaving the elbows down and swinging the triangle on it's plane, it is far more difficult to learn.
The consistency you have with momentum is way more than the one with rotational swings (Ballard, Whittaker...) Why? Because gravity is constant, your rotation of the body isn't. You have to be a machine like Thomas Pieters to be able to repeat the same swing over and over. With this concepts, you just make sure you keep a stable tush line, shoulders back and drop the arms to the second pivot point. Then the swing is done.
@@RollYourRock I can't check with him but I remember seeing more recent videos he has done, where he says he used to swing like that for years. He know does not swing that way and has found that to be way better. Also every pro I speak to hates forearm roll on backswing as the swing becomes so much harder.
Think what I have figured out is if you swing more vertically with arms but don't rotate body, on the backswing, forearm rotation on the backswing is needed. Alot of older or injured golfers swing that way. However if you are a body rotational golfer, forearm rotation is a killer. I used to swing with the arms in a more momentum style swing, but trying to switch to rotational now. Problem is most golfers have no idea what type of swing they have, then go on you tube to get tips. Recieving the wrong advise for there own type of swing. I suffered this for years. An example for me was combining my natural arms vertical backswing with a massive body rotational downswing. I managed to increase by average score by 10 shots a round, losing 3 golf balls a round due to a duck hook or a massive slice. Took me a couple of years to get back on track. Sorry I'm a bit of track here but hope this helps someone. Oh and by the way had lessons from many pros and I seriously don't think they are even aware that there are different swings out there. If they are aware however, I strongly believe they have no idea on how to spot what swing you have or even teach it. They are all about positions which can be very misleading.
This is just one more example of over complicating the golf swing you tube is full of these videos repeating over and over again, many of them like this guy does disable comments which to me is pretty cowardly?
Finally, someone who can articulate properly so that we can understand. This has been very helpful!
this describes and helps me to understand most of my trouble, thank you!
What a wonderful video! Thank you
Really glad I found your channel, Mike. Great videos and common sense explanations. Cheers
Thanks, Tom. Cheers! 😃
Your welcome... Mike does a great job in this video.
The best golf instructor who explain the swing in full details once you understand what he says the golf swing become easy

Fantastic explanation great golf teacher
Always a good lesson.

You got it! - Hit em long and straight... ⛳️
Thank you!! So much!
Hi Mike your video is helping lot I have started swinging and not hitting well but I am trying to draw with carry and roll

These videos need to rank higher Malaska is the most knowledgeable instructor on youtube. I highly recommend his M system.
Yeah, I like his stuff a lot! 👍👍
Great online instruction!!!

Merry Christmas to you.
Thanks. I learn something new..
Good to hear! - Hit em long and straight... Cheers! 😃
Now, this is really the guy who knows what he's talking about.
Mike also has an excellent channel here on UA-cam: ua-cam.com/users/MalaskaGolf
Cheers! RYR 😃
Wow - this lesson is quite a bit different from what Mike teaches nowadays: strong left hand, minimal forearm rotation.
Constant refinement is the mark of a great teacher...

It's primarily left forearm rotation that squares the clubface. Your pivot plays into the equation as well, but that's another video... Cheers! 😃

Álvaro Ybáñez absolutely correct I've never been so connected to the club or have the effortless swing I always wanted until I started following Mike
Álvaro Ybáñez you are so right hit That second pivot it's over.
Think this is outdated. Pretty sure Mike is against forearm rotation now.
Could you please check with him and let me know...

@@roninbhaal2039 I totally agree! If anything, you would roll them slightly away from you.

Always remember, just cause the pros are good golfers, it doesn't mean they are good teachers.
