It really works! I explain how to perform a simple little trick with the shoulder that will dramatically increase your distance and accuracy. This simple trick causes a one piece takeaway which will cause a bigger shoulder turn. Dustin Johnson, Cameron Champ, Rory McIlroy, Joaquín Niemann and Tommy Fleetwood all start their swings this way.
Taking the club away with the lead hand will cause the face to roll open. Taking the club away with the right shoulder keeps the clubface stable.
One thing to note, although you won't feel much of a difference when practice swinging you'll feel, and see a huge difference when actually hitting a ball.
Basically, the right shoulder is the transmission of the swing. It is the part of the body that applies the power of the body into the right arm and then the club, just as it does when throwing a baseball or swinging a baseball bat.
A friend picked up ~40 yards of distance after watching this video.

I'm a big fan of Tom at "Saguto Golf" her on YT, but I gotta say, after about six "Overhand" videos now, I'm VERY impressed with this guy's ability to "impart" what he knows/feels in such a way that I can almost instantly feel the move(s) as he relates them.
Like; "think about it, you don't swing a bat that way", or some other very relatable concept.
I love that he cuts through all the noise and just talks to you like a golf buddy giving easy to understand advice, without all the unnecessary stuff.
(Not that the deeper dives into golf "theory", don't have anything to offer, but I imagine at the upper levels, the returns are probably tiny, and not life changing for us amateurs.)
Great teacher, that's for sure.
THIS makes total sense to me. I've stumbled on to something related to this lately by accident and I'm seeing real improvement.
This was a great tip! Exactly what I needed. We need more videos from this guy.
Love your analogy.
With me working on stop swaying back in the takeaway this video is going to change everything for me. Also with turning my lead foot towards the target 20+ degrees. Thanks for all your videos and knowledge.
Absolutely brilliant
Your videos have given me a better understanding of how the swing works. I shot my best 9holes 34. I now know what I do to loose my my swing. All new golfers do it, and I fall back into it. Hitting from the top. That feeling of power I feel like I'm gonna crush the ball. Your videos all show the speed of your swing doesn't change at the end of your backswing and the downswing. Your acceleration is at impact.
Thanks again
It makes sense.
Will try it at the range.
Thanks for sharing sir.
Do you have any videos hiting the ball? That would be a great example. Thanks again. Regards.
Suuuper Tip💯👌
Such a good video, so simple!
Really works!!
Awesome awesome video
The sequence at about 4:18 is KEY. Looking forward to applying this. @ 2:31 think "Start the Lawn Mower."
Thanks!!!!
Love the parallels and references to throwing 👍. For a skinny guy I could always fire a baseball with little motion, not knowing why exactly. Then I realized what my shoulders (and hips) were doing. NEVER thought to translate that to a club swing. Come on !!!!!!! 👏
Brilliant mate ... getting the shoulder now
Love it. The ball jumps off the club face
This video is one of the most important videos I've seen on UA-cam. And I've watched them all. It teaches you pivot in the swing and the way you get natural lag. This is one of the best videos I've seen. Good job.
Thanks. I just watched it again. Wow, I'm kinda all over the place but I got the info out. Play well!
@@HolyGrailOfGolf not many talk about the importance of the right shoulder for right handers or vice versa for lefties.
Best tip ever! Thank you. Time for a donation. Donation made.
Ever since I started watching your videos, I saw instant results. I haven't watched any other golf instructions either! Thanks for adding common sense to the golf swing. Looking forward to other videos. Chipping, putting etc.

People pay hundreds for a new driver or irons and hundreds more on DVDs and lessons that do them little or no good. I have truly simplified the swing to the point of almost near ridiculousness and it's transforming people's golf games. This is my only source of income these days as the company I worked for has gone under.
My wife keeps saying to me, "Why are you just giving it away for free? You're wasting your time!" I'd like to prove her wrong.
Play well! Thank you.
Wow! Just happened across you on here.... This is pure dynamite for this 60 year old.... You are at rare gem indeed. Just added 10 to 20yds to my pitching wedge, but most importantly, hit no slices, and tightened up my dispersion considerably.... All this with one simple swing thought re. The right shoulder..... At last I feel free to let the ball fly. Thank you for flying in the face of adversity....you've saved my life.... However, goodness knows how far my longer irons and woods will go with this approach? Why doesn't anyone else tell us mere mortals this?
Thanks again from Steve in some forgotten corner that is Doncaster, England.
I don't know why no one else talks about these things. I guess they're all thinking inside the box and don't even know there's anything other than traditional golf instruction.
Extremely helpful-as always! Reminds me of when (many years ago!) I told my pro I was hitting the ball to the end of the range easily using my right shoulder. Sadly I listened to him and ever since have hit the ball shorter and shorter! (BTW (if I may) the terms “flexion” and “extension” are very useful in describing some of your movements)
Sorry to hear about the pro.
..nah, this man’s explanations don’t need terms like flexion and extension. Remember this is high-level instruction so the less low-level language the better.
high-level is general and broad and right-brain (fast)
low-level is specific and detail oriented and left-brain (slow)
Reminds me of Nick Faldo's television comments on a player's downswing, ".......and then he drives the right shoulder down at the ball....".Never quite knew what he meant. Now I do. One of your best videos if not the best, for me.
Your videos are great. Just started watching your videos. Starting hitting my irons great by watching your deactivate the right shoulder on the down swing video. Now after this video I can’t wait. Activate it on the take away then deactivate it on the down swing!
Hey, you're right! I never thought of it that way.
@dgmickley...hi, could you explain " deactivate" the right shoulder ?
I'm trying Greg's swing but struggling.
Thanks very much !
This swing looks effortless. I am going to try it at my next range session. Thank you for the great video.
The
I used to play Cricket 🏏 (Australian sport) & I had a very strong & accurate throw when fielding. Your tips in this vid make so much sense. Thank you 🙏
i just saw my swing through you....have been doing that exact same move for over a year now , relax arms and ala baseball throw on the downswing firing my hips slowly and allowing my right side and right shoulder to follow and square at impact
Very very few couches teach that but you made it make sense. TY
This makes so much sense, when I was playing ball three to five days a week, I could murder a drive, now that I'm retired from baseball and softball my swing has gone to poop! Guess I'll try to work on this again! Thanks!
Makes sense. You were probably making more of a natural swing motion before and now you're trying to make a "golf motion." Go back to basics.
hi Greg, I got your point, the right shoulder and right arm needs to hit down the middle of the shaft to the holly grail ball on plan , straight down not in the circle and release quickly so the club can swing around the left wrist then it will pull the right side to the finish. In other words we want to use the centrifugal force to swing the club just before and after impact where the right hand just hang on for the ride. The club should swing around the left wrist with stout left hand to control the release path. If the left hand too loose we can't control the release on the path we intended.
Really enjoying your new videos. Strong work! Two things I would be interested in your perspective. First, how do you think this relates to the 'obtuse vs acute thoracic angle' video? Do you still believe in that concept (because I think it is hugely important). Second, you rarely see great ball strikers immediately lose their shoulder tilt in transition. The left shoulder and hip stay low in transition...which is a bit different than the shoulder motion you are demonstrating. Keep the videos coming!
Obtuse v acute is just a physics thing so it'll always make sense. Performing it depends on your flexibility and athleticism.
"Lose their shoulder tilt?" Can you show me what you're talking about? I don't see how this would happen.
If you haven't tried this you need to. My ball is flying like it's got wings.
As a natural left hander but a right handed swinger of the golf club ( I blame my dad, he was right handed and put my hands on the bat his way ) I’ve struggled to get my right arm under. Your thought of right arm back naturally gets my right arm under, not over and out. Great tip my friend, grateful Aussie, you’re definitely on the right track.

My biggest issue in the golf swing was swaying. I practiced today using what I learned from this video. Took a bit of time, but WOW. Guys if you can get this to work for you you will be amazed.
If I were British I would say bloody hell, this is genius! You should be required viewing for all PGA teaching professionals.
If I only had a dollar for ever time I get called genius ... Thank you. If everyone taught this I wouldn't be special. I'm wondering if in 10 years or so this catches on and I won't be special any more.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf you'll always be special...the reason may vary...but the result is the same. : )
This concept is the reason why I’ve always believed Stenson, Sorenstam, and Duval didn’t have to look at the ball through impact in their prime. You can just fire and and then let it go.
Hey man! You’re blowing up on UA-cam! Post as often as possible please!
I'm trying. I'm busy with my real job right now but I'll be back soon.
This is the best advice I've ever gotten for my golf swing. It's changed my entire swing. I don't slice anymore.

Thankyou for your brilliant videos on the golf swing, I totally agree with your teachings and have played golf for 35 years myself to a single figure handicap but not as much competition these days due to knee injury, I would like to ask you if you could do this with an 7 iron and show the head position in relation to the ball position on both the up swing and the downswing ie are you looking behind or in front of the ball. Kindest Regards linerforce.
Bobby Jones said it best, I think. He said, "I neither look at the ball with my right or left eye. I'm simply aware of where it is."
Because you have measured yourself to the ball at address it would be hard not to hit it. You don't have to be looking at it to hit it well.
Thank you for your quick response that’s just hit the nail on the head for me. Regards linerforce
@@HolyGrailOfGolf yes, bobby jones is who said that, 13 majors by age 28 then retired. At 28... good video sir.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf what most amateur s myself included the target becomes the ball instead of an area you want the ball to land or a target
Hey Great stuff has helped a bunch. Question I am right-handed but golf left-handed Is there a feeling your using your lead shoulder that would result the same as using trail shoulder.
Awesome Video.. Thanks.
What starts your downloading
I think you mean downswing, if so, it's when you max out. It's not something you should have to actively think about. You don't actively think about when to start the actual throw, when you throw a ball. It just happens.
This video to me, is truly the holy grail of golf.
I recently revisited this video coupled with watching your videos at the driving range or on the golf course.
When you pull your right shoulder back, the club goes straight back, which looks like it's going outward.
Then you relax at the top, which allows your right shoulder to reroute (at least it looks like that) straight down and through the ball.
A lot of pros do this same look of rerouting the club, but some look as if they go straight back and straight through.
The relaxing at the top is universal, no matter if it's a quick swing like Jon Rahm or the smooth swing of Ernie Els. They all do it.
It transforms the amateur's attempt at a swing, which is tense, stiff, robotic and usually over the top because of it,
to a real swing of the golf club.
Amazing video!
My 3rd time thru this video (as well as his wealth of other vids) and starting to separate the chaff from the wheat! Tried various right sided swings, lawn mower, Malaska (a lot) and scapula dig R Shdr swings and they all have some good and bad but are either harder to implement for all clubs and not consistent strikes/distance or have to many moving parts or timing/sequencing. I know R elbow is secret because hit best wedges when pull R Shdr/elbow back and lousy when I don't. What is helping me is to remember to use L arm as a support for the right sided part of this swing (makes it easier to return to address with lean), relax the BSwing as you say (lawn mower and scap dig get tense so no go)as I get into an overhand throw position and keep it all compact. Gud check mark is to make 1/2 or 2/3 swings using the initial shdr (and elbow) move and check for impact/R Shdr thru. then u are almost gud to go for them all. Let u know after taking swing on longer clubs to course using this as best I can interpret.
I like this. Anything different when using an iron? Your demo is typically with a wood. Is it just a different ball placement?
Yeah I’m wondering the same thing. This gentleman has helped me out with my swing tremendously. I hope his channel grows exponentially and that he starts monetizing his videos. I would love to see him out on the course hitting different shots.
I'm interested in knowing what your trigger is to start the downswing. Is it upper body (right shoulder) or lower body (left knee, for example). Thanks.
Damn-you're on a roll today!
I waited until I had a few video ideas before getting set up and recording. There's a few more to come.
Hi Overhand you would be correct if you say the right shoulder and scapula bone and muscles starts the golf swing and not our hands. As Alison Thietje stated several years ago 2 and one half inches of our trail scapula moves our club head at maximum distance away from our body as long as our hands arms and wrists are passive, unlock and active altogether. In fact our weight shift even takes place on this one piece takeaway.
However the primary fundamental of the golf swing is that ‘All’ the muscles in our body pulling working in tandem with ‘All’ the bones and joints in our body pushing altogether that powers the golf swing.
The above being said; the golf club plays a major roll in the golfer swing as it is designed to do the very opposite the golfer does; except for the briefest moment when the golfer and the club head meets the ball at tremendous impact shared by both. Cheers
Lightbulb just went off re: right arm relaxed. Thanks!
Off? I hope you mean the lightbulb came on. I'm kidding, but yeah, "ding ... I get it!"
BEST tip ever. Right shoulder back. Thank you. It's only taken 57 years for a smart man not an IDIOT to let me know the secret. Mel. Kyabram
What does the right shoulder go down toward...the ground...the ball...in between???
When I start to search answers about golf swing the unanswered question in all caching systems was sources of force, because the golf club is a object that need to be accelerated and for acceleration the force is needed. No answers you can find in golf coaching industry they all speaks about speed un positions from good players. This is perfect you start to think about. There is lot of leverage based force sources in human body available . And correct uses of them can avoid all injuries in this sport.
What I also do is setting the lead alboe on my pec and use it kind of a hinge for the club and pull back with the trial shoulder and slam it forward again - ball gies strait as a line and very long. 😊
I have a specific question about the baseball bat swing -vs- the golf club swing.
Why in a good baseball swing is the right hand (for right handed swing) released in the follow thru? And conversely in the golf swing both hands remain gripped to the club shaft.
Any answer(s) are much appreciated. 51 Lake City Florida.
Good question and the answer is you can let go with the right hand. There's a guy on youtube advocating this type of swing. As soon as the ball is gone it really doesn't matter what you do. That's like waving the barrel of the gun around after the bullet is gone and thinking it'll have some effect. We don't let go of the right hand just because it's convention. There is no reason at all we need to hang on with the right hand at all.
It really helps for me to feel the top as when the mass passes from left hand to right trigger finger and settles, with soft wrists and keeping that pressure on the right hand and through.
Today I swung the handle at the target line behind the ball. It is difficult at first because you feel like it will go straight right but the ball went straight toward the hole. I had to play with my grip a little get the right adjustment for me.
I agree, it's hard at first. I've called it a party trick 'cause that's what it feels like when you're doing it right.
Do you have any feeling of moving the hips forward or “lean in” as the club reaches the top of the backswing that many teachers advocate?
Just watching this video and swinging the club as your describing gives me a good swing feel without thinking about lower body action.
When you say "forward" are you talking toward the target or ball? We shouldn't really have to actively control the body. When the intention is correct our body just does what it needs to.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf Toward the Target.... but I think your response answers the question.
Glen can u demonstrate a pitching video? Thanks
@joecalvacca3195..... that's Greg, the owner of Overhand Golf. And I'd like to see a pitching video also.
Enjoy his content, he's great
Is it the momentum of the right shoulder driving down that completes the swing or are you consciously turning your hips and body after the initial shoulder drive
It's just like swinging a baseball bat. You just do it. There is no need to think of moving each and every body part. Your brain will do whatever is necessary.
Thank you for the reply. I was a football player and I spent tons of $$$$ on lessons and it always feels like instructors are leaving something out or making things more complicated than need be. I’m off Thursday so I will be giving this an honest try. Thanks again
Are you still using the Olimar Fairway metals ? Or only for video's
I have 3 of them in my bag. I love 'em. I have a 17º, 13º and a 9º. I'm pretty sure I can hit the 9º farther than my driver and it runs. I could probably play an entire round of golf with just the 17º and a putter.
Transformed my game ready for summer golf here in NZ. Small tip via PayPal in appreciation , hope you are going well. 👍
Hey Greg: If I drop my trail shoulder straight down isn't that going to make it more likely I'll be swinging too much inside to out? That is already my major issue. I was having some success just swinging the club straight down from the top of the backswing.
It's not down and back it's down and around. Also, don't fix what isn't broken. If you're having success with something don't start adding new stuff to it all the time. I suppose I need to stop saying "straight down," in my descriptions. When I say straight down I don't mean vertically. I mean in a straight linear motion on a diagonal plane. Sorry, that's my fault.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf OK. Makes sense. Thanks again. I wish I could practise this move outdoors but the season's about over up here in Canada. There's always next spring. :)
I’m ignoring the description of relaxed, slightly tense, relaxed, tension. I’m going with shoulder back, shoulder down, for now. Will see how that works out.
I always wonder, when my shoulder comes back, if I was looking from behind, should my right elbow stay in, like Tony Finau or move out like Jack Nicklaus?
The relaxation is what allows the club to be thrown. I described it here but it should happen naturally for you. After you do it a few times you should notice that.
Your elbow should find its place. Don't think about it too much just let it happen naturally.
Overhand Golf
Thanks.
It’s a good tip but drawing the right shoulder back properly inevitably engages your core and hips as well. That’s where the power comes from. Don’t try and hit the ball with your shoulder. You will get hurt.
I purposely don't mention those things because they should happen naturally. Do this, and then this, and then this is no way to do anything athletic. One thought, and your body does the rest for you.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf I absolutely agree. One thought is the absolute maximum during the swing and that is sometimes even too much! Keep up the good work 🏌🏻♂️
Does that swing work with irons ?
Mike Malaska shares the same analysis on power in golf
That is Mike malaska philosophy
When attempting this move, I am finding that I am hitting a lot of fat shots. Any thoughts? I am not thinking of weight transfer or any lower body movement; just pulling the shoulder back and then back down while throwing the shaft.
A fat shot is just a good swing with the ball in the wrong position. Take some divots without a ball as you'd normally swing and then put the ball where the divot starts. Fat shots also happen by trying to help the ball into the air which I hope you're not doing.
Will give it a try and thanks for your quick response.
Maybe a way to think about the downswing throwing motion is to throw the right shoulder on a path that is "inside to out" and not "outside to in"...I know that my forehand in tennis MUST be an inside to out swing in order to get that effortless power and the serve is the same concept...the path of the racket swings from over your head and then up and to the right...it's WHERE the racket face is pointing that determines the direction of the ball. This counter-intuitive fact throws off many players because it feels like you're going to miss it way right. Players that swing outside to in have to muscle the ball and they never go very far in tennis.
You're thinking a lot about this stuff. That's good. Much of what you're figuring out I've made videos about or talked about in comments with other people.
It’s actually both sides of and the entire thorax not the shoulder. Your humerus fires first because of gears called our functional lines. Love your passion.
I think us humans can only think of ONE THING during the golf swing. Any more than that is disastrous to our natural timing.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf which is why I think your Holy Grail is great, but thinking of shoulders (and thorax, and humerus, etc.) is a bad idea for almost everyone. We need a task (throw me my keys), not a bunch of positions.
Prior to shoulder injury I felt like my shoulder blade moved into me on backswing and further into me as I started downswing. Is that the feeling you get?
Do you mean the scapula? If so, no. Drawing the right shoulder back turns the entire torso. I used to try to do what you're describing but it wasn't a natural move and didn't seem to help the swing at all.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf Thank you for replying.
Hi! Do you know what sort of club swing speed, you swing at to hit the ball 327 yds please
Off the top of my head, no, but depending on the rotational speed of the ball, probably about 115 mph. I think the day I was talking about here was one of those days where I was strong and fast ... before my bladder infection and all the other stuff that slowed me down.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf Thank you it would be nice to see your swing on a simulator. Saw Palmetto 1600 mg one a day for bladder and prostrate problems. About £16 for 90 UK your bladder will thank you for it lol
@@grahamnewman9725 My bladder is better now. Antibiotics took care of it but apparently I'd had the infection for years.
Well thanks here I got what I wanted to see when I asked you about the backswing on this other video “ don’t turn your shoulders”. Remember? When you said do did deliberately not talk about the backswing.
You're right! I'd forgotten about this video. It's hard to remember all of them.
Will making all these moves automatically shallow the club?
Sure. If you let it.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf thank you for your videos. I happen to come across your videos because I was struggling with down swing steepness and shallowing the club. Just watching the Jim Dent video in slomo I was able to duplicate the feel and execute the shallowing. Of course I’ll need to practice a little more but, I get it. Thanks. 🙂
Love this tip! Question, do you have any fanning of the clubface? Or do you try and keep the face square (looking at the ball) throughout the swing?
The clubface does what it needs to do. I wouldn't say it "fans" open but there is rotation but not for the sake of it. It rotates because the left arm needs to rotate in order to swing properly and with power. Watch the full Holy Grail Video for the full story. ua-cam.com/video/fniAGqLKbr0/v-deo.html
Should feel like pulling a bow and arrow back on your right shoulder ive been told. Have to pay more attention to this
The body has multiple levers - the club is the biggest lever. They all contribute to a powerful golf swing.
First I just want to thank you for sharing the Holy Grail move with the public, you could have kept it to yourself that saya a lot about you. At the 7min mark you talk about the lead arm being taught, i want to share with you what i have been doing. I only think about hinging my lead hand wrist. Don't have to think about trail shoulder. Dalton Mccrary talks about this also. Your Holy Grail with lead wrist hinge makes golf to easy lol. And also i listen to what Lee Comeaux talks about religiously.
Sure, I can see what you're talking about and have experimented with that. Although, I think you'll find that this right shoulder move will not only deliver better results but be easier to perform and repeat. Give it a try and see if you don't agree.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf looks like the starting a lawnmower move going up.
@@jteddy11 Yeah, anyone would do this starting a lawn mower, but you'd never think about it or even know you did it.
@@jteddy11 I think that's the deal with golf, if a person knows nothing about golf they swing naturally and their body does what it should and then as people start to dissect and analyze the action of the swing the less natural it becomes. So, a move like this, which is completely natural, gets lost in the over analysis. I've always been interested in why people always hit the ball really well when they're hitting a stray ball back into the range. "Did you see that! Why can't I hit 'em like that all the time!?" That's what I want to know, why aren't they? Little things like this move that we do naturally is why. When we stop thinking "golf swing" and just let the body and club do what it's supposed to ... the ball responds as it should.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf great stuff, so you like that trail shoulder high in the back swing? I will try some swings with a high trail shoulder thinking lawn mower pull and see what happens. EDIT I rewatched the video you stated what you are doing, straight back and up, then straight down, thank you.
Can’t wait to try these Nukes 💪
since i have been using the holy grail technique i have been striking balls a way better, but i've noticed that i'm engaing the arms more than before, in order to strike the immaginary ball. The conseguence is that my hips are parallel to the ball at impact. Do you think this "shoulder thought" could help me to encrease hip rotation at impact? does this technique is valid for irons too? thanx!
I'm willing to bet your hips are not square at impact, but you feel like they are. This is how the hips work best - when they're doing what they're supposed to do and you don't even know it.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf actually i am pretty square, maybe some degree left, but surely not 40/45° as i should. i took some slomo videos of me swinging. i'll try to think more to my right shoulder and see what happen. thanx again
@@AlessandroRorato Send me a link to the video. I'd like to see it. You can post it on youtube and make it "unlisted."
@@HolyGrailOfGolf thank you! I’ll do it asap
This shoulder move?
What is your exercise routine like.
I work out often. I just lift. I have a few workouts. Chest, shoulders, back and legs. I don't do any cardio and I don't have an arm day. The arms get worked in just about every other exercise so ... I never thought I'd be a gym rat but it's fun and good for you. I have a lot of friends at the gym, we hang out and talk and workout. Come to think of it, it's also mental therapy. I get to talk to people who don't mind me talking, if you know what I mean. No one wants to hear from me at home.
Overhand Golf
Problem with COVID is all the gyms are closed. I was wondering where you live because it seems like a very hot climate. You seem to try to avoid that strip of sun that’s in most of your videos.
I really like your content.
Have you read Gravity Golf?
No, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night. I haven't read the book but I have done quite a bit of watching of their videos. They make a lot of sense and have solid theories. The basic problem in golf that everyone misses is, what direction you swing the club. People who do it well assume everyone does it right and people who don't do it right assume it should be toward the target.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf yes. I have liked your videos. It was the counter fall giving dynamic rather than static balance in the swing that was revolutionary to me. It balances out the tendency of the arm swing to pull the body toward the ball. Anyway, I look forward to combining those ideas about center of mass and dynamic balance, with your ideas of direction of swing.
Brother will this work with single plane address ?
Sure, physics are physics. Although, like Bryson DeChambeau, the more power you're able to apply the less one plane your swing becomes.

*YOU* sir are not a moron. I will be trying this and hopefully remember to report back and tip you on your paypal. I would buy your ebook if you had one for sale. And then I'll buy overhand golf schwag when I get good at it. Where can I find your ebook?
Am enjoying your videos. But WHO exactly are you? Ex-pro? Low handicap golfer? Darren Klassen acolyte? I'm rather intrigued. Apologies if this sounds a bit rude.
I'm not offended. I'm just a low index golfer who thinks way too much about golf. I have friends that have some of the problems I talk about and it fascinates me how or why they believe that somehow someday it'll magically work.
I thought about going to PGA school but I think I'd be arguing with the instructor every step of the way. Traditional American golf instruction is way too complicated.
Gotta say your directness, and theories on the swing are totally different from the norm.
I saw your video on " holy grail" and saw that it made sense. The test was taking it out on range. Well, it does work , but doing something totally different from what I was doing, it will take practice. So, kudos to you for sharing your insights w us.
I would suggest you name this and trademark it. That's how truly unique your ideas are in my estimation.
I look forward to your success as well as my success in swinging .
@@andrepark78 Thanks. I've been thinking about what you suggest. The crazy thing is I've taken it another step further and learned even more about the golf swing. I'm working on a video now that's going to blow people's minds. I couldn't believe it myself, at first, but it's totally real. I was thinking about making my channel subscription only, but I don't know if I have enough subscribers. This new video I don't really just want to give away.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf you can give away to attract subscribers, then get advertising. There's the money. You have a very fluid motion with your golf swing, bobby jones to me has the best I've seen back to vardon.
@@ag358 You're referring to "why are you just giving it away?" Thank you for the advice and words of encouragement. This is obviously my first attempt at a youtube channel so I really don't know much about it. The channel seems to be growing exponentially. Yesterday I had almost 20k view which was double from the day before. Advertising ... yeah. I see fence paint, gardeners , beard trimming products ...
Reminds me of what Chuck Cook teaches: "Shoulder to the wall, Shoulder to the ball."
Isn't this what Sir Henry Cotton used to profess - imagine you're hitting a tyre with a square face. Start to close the face sooner.
Not even close.
Dechambeau does this
It sure looks to me like he does. Although, everyone does this when they swing naturally. It's the reason you alway hit the ball well when you aren't "making a golf swing."
@@HolyGrailOfGolf great video! Thanks!
F***ing Truth- remarkable- Almighty found you worthy-
In 2020/2021 I devoted a couple of months in trying to master the HG swing. Unfortunately without much success. Probably its me, just a hacker that cannot break 100 anymore. Most importantly I was unable to improve on my club-and ball speed and distances. My appaling chs for 7 iron remained in 60-70 Mph. range. My driver approx 78 Mph. Sorry no ''Holy Grail'' out there for me or just in a next life, if there is any.
I think you’re on to something. By strictly focusing on my right shoulder, I was killing it at the driving range. My normal 6i goes about 195. With this swing, my 7i was carrying the 200 yard flag. I’m not a big guy 5’5” 145lbs.
Unfortunately this swing doesn’t agree with my back. After half a bucket I had to stop because of the pain.
Tension is a killer in a golf swing
this guy is always out of breath. is he doing pushups before beginning his videos? :-)
Have you ever tried to talk to a camera alone? It's not as easy as you'd think. I tend to talk longer than I would if I was talking to someone. Also, some of these videos were made when I was over 100º out. I think this is one of them which is why I waited until later in the day. Also, my nose doesn't work very well. Thanks for watching. Hopefully you got something useful out of the videos.
How hard are you going at the imaginary ball? Are you just trying to "gravity" it through, or trying to murder it into the ground?
I'd say as hard as you're comfortable delivering. When I hit the 327 the other day I was casual but deliberately powerful. Casual will still send the ball plenty far and probably farther than your normal hard swing. Nuking it and overdoing it is human nature but we have to remember that's not a natural motion. We're lucky if the ball goes where we want when nuking it.
Overhand Golf okay, I’m going to give it a shot. I’m doing the Malaska swing and I took a lesson with him. Playing better than I ever have so I am reluctant to contaminate (maybe not the best choice of words) what is working. I think I can merge things.
@@kurtheitman552 You're not getting a tattoo ... giving something a try won't infect you. You can always disregard and return to whatever you're doing previously, right. This is a common thought in golf that somehow you won't be able to go back if you try something new and different. I have a friend like this. I had to yell at him to try it. "WTF do you have to lose!?" I had to say, before he crushed a nice straight long drive. He then said, "I can't believe I even hit the ball." (He had a great time the rest of the round then quickly forgot everything before the next round. Smokes a lot of weed ...)
Obviously, you think you can be better or you wouldn't be looking at golf videos. What I'm advocating is the simplest way to deliver consistent effortless power, but you have to have the basics down-pat in order to use this.
Overhand Golf wow! It’s totally compatible with what I’m doing. Since I “tip” the club, I just find the imaginary ball in my plane and hit it down as you said. Just tried it in my backyard net, but I felt the power and contact. I can swing hard or easy and it’s consistent. Taking it to the range tomorrow. Please take your channel down now because I don’t want anyone else to know the secret.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf 🤣 it's not a tattoo!!!
Sane thought with driver and irons ?
Yes, but of course with the driver it's more outward or horizontal than with irons. A lot of people don't think of that.
