    In today's video, Shaun Webb and Mike Granato show you the exact downswing sequence you need for more distance and consistency. Many golfers start their downswings on the wrong foot (literally). That not only robs you of speed but makes moving the club properly nearly impossible. Instead, incorporate this downswing sequence into your swing and enjoy the results.

    I can’t tell you how happy I am that I found your pro vs am series. I’ve played golf for nearly 20 years and have been so frustrated with my swing for the last 5 years or so. I was at the range today and finally felt exactly what you’re talking about in this video. Felt amazing. I feel like I found my swing with this lesson today.

    Thanks both. Subtle is the key word here. I think so many amateurs hear this (great) advice and then totally over do it. It really is just a subtle move back to the centre (matter of inches), but the difference is HUGE. Love the channel.

  • @davewade6742

    This move back to the target with the weight before (and sometimes well before) the top of the back swing is counter intuitive to sequence so I developed a little drill I called 'spreading the butter' which gives you a great feeling for the move. You don't need a club, just get in posture but stretch your right hand out in front of you then start making lateral movements with your arm. Imagine you are spreading butter on a window in front of you with the back of your hand going right and the palm going left. Then start to synchronise lateral hip motion, first in the same directions as your arm then do them in opposite directions. This gives a great feeling of what it should feel like in the swing.

    OMG I just tried this move on Sunday, wow what difference, first time I broke 90 for years! I got it wrong a few times (I found myself sliding forward in the backswing and a bit reverse pivoting) but when I got the timing right I felt the contact was much more solid than before.
    I never really got the hip "bump" transition that some instructional videos mention at the start of the downswing (it just makes me swing outside the the plane)
    great video guys, thanks a lot

    Another great video. When the torso is raising and the head is lowering through impact, is that because the butt is moving away from the ball i.e. anti-goat humping?

  • @cjsheets24
    @cjsheets24 4 роки тому +16

    I never knew the re-centering and weight shift back to the left side happened in the back swing until I watched this video. I worked on this extensively at home and took it to the range today. It was a game changing movement that created consistent ball striking I’ve never really had before. Thank you so much.

    Hi, thanks for the video this is great. I play to scratch, but my problem is my left arm doesn’t drop down, it stays tight to my chest as I unwind. Are there any exercises, drills or feelings I could add to my practice? Many thanks for the great videos.

  • @MaqAttaq1
    @MaqAttaq1 6 років тому

    Here's my 2-bobs worth. Its about sequencing. The sequence does not change. What triggers the downward swing also depends on body type. Guys/gals with stronger upper or lower body will trigger the downswing differently. But however they do it - the sequencing has to be in sync to deliver the club face to the ball square
    There are always exception to the rule where someone simply has so much athletic abilities that their initial sequence might be out but they usually get the club face square.

    I’ve heard some instructors describe this dipping motion as the “trampoline” effect. Apparently it’s meant to build momentum. Thoughts??

    • @AthleticMotionGolf
      @AthleticMotionGolf  6 років тому

      There's VERY little momentum from the dip. Just using the pro in this video for example, his dip from the top is only .17" with the ribcage and doesn't have any dip with his hips. The momentum comes from the lift/rising of the body, not the dipping.

    Good points Gentlemen.

I was told it was their way of maintaining their Spine Angle into impact. What are your thoughts?..

  • @robertbain5076
    @robertbain5076 2 роки тому

    Maybe I am 100% wrong but doesn’t proper footwork get you into that position? It seems to me that when my left knee bends and my right (trail) leg straightens, I can feel a bit of weight shift into my left foot without thinking about it. Also when the left knee bends and the right straightens the club will move away from the ball without any manipulation by my hands which keeps the club in front of my body, which I think is a good move away from the ball. Am I thinking about this in the right way? Correct me if I am wrong!

  • @robsaxepga
    @robsaxepga 4 роки тому

    The golf swing feels to me like this: the left knee hip and shoulder come under on the backswing, then I center in the downswing with pressure equalizing in my feet then the right knee hip and shoulder go under through impact. Feels more like a teeter totter than a "turn back". More tilting than turning but I know I'm turning. Feel isn't real. Lol

    With regards to this video I am wondering about the head dropping while the pelvis and torso going up. Since the torso and head are (hopefully) connected and generally move in the same vertical direction, does this entail a head tilt or other neck movement of sorts?

  • @aarontbowen
    @aarontbowen 4 роки тому +3

    I like that this channel isn't all about drills. The 3D golfer in slow motion is really helpful to see what the body should be doing and in the end I find it more helpful (at least as far as youtube goes) than drills that may or may not be the right fix for me. Drills help, but there are so many and knowing the right ones to take the driving range can be difficult, and I'd bet most are watching several different instructors on youtube, so that complicates matters more.

    • @stevensprigings497

      Totally agree with you mate. Seeing a video like this and others on this channel with the 3D model swings of successful pros and explaining it is better than watching lots of random golf instruction videos on UA-cam. Sometimes our brains need to see the proof to understand - learn the philosophy of a successful swing before we physically rehearse and practice.

  • @anthonydyer6344
    @anthonydyer6344 6 років тому +4

    Great vid as ever. I think it’s something to do with having a stationary target which makes us think we need to keep everything as still as possible. Added to that nobody wants to miss the ball in practice, so even on the range we’re not practicing more dynamic actions for fear of looking stupid. If you were swinging at a baseball you’d accept you’ll miss some and swing freer.

    • @AthleticMotionGolf

  • @ShallowedOutGolf
    @ShallowedOutGolf 6 років тому +2

    I disagree with what the initial lateral movement is. It’s not a shift IMO.
    It’s a stretch of the left leg externally with the lead pelvis low, which will move you laterally a little bit. Not any kind of push off the back foot or bumping of the hips: it sure does look like it.
    Then all you do is get he right elbow externally in front of your body a little with some separation of the upper and lower body.
    All of a sudden you’re shallowed out like crazy as long you’re not pulling on the handle.
    Then it’s just a rotation to impact and not an arm swing.
    Gets me super open at impact!

      Shaun Webb Golf Not sure the number but quite a bit. It feels like a fall laterally to me, not a Drive off the back foot. I just let the stretch and small external movement of the left leg to initiate the fall, it doesn’t take much.

    • @ShaunWebbGolf
      @ShaunWebbGolf 6 років тому

  • @dannyleegolf
    @dannyleegolf 6 років тому +1

    The 3D model looks like JR himself! The head dipping is happening because it sits in the middle of the he tilting of the hips and shoulders. The dipping of the head will follow on both ends of the swing according to hip and shoulder tilts on either end. Think of how the the bars of someone swinging on the uneven bars dips in gynastics everytime the gymnast swings on them. To maximize this, have more flexed lead wrist with a steep shoulder turn i.e., Dustin Johnson., and the body will be more inclined to work downward therefore creating a bigger dip of the head in transition of the downing... cheers.

    I agree that there can be multiple things happening at the same. Not only is weight being shifted before the downswing starts but there’s also rotation starting as well.

    @thomasfraser9072 5 років тому +1

    OK guys you are hinting with Justin Rose in what I coined 'The One Piece Downswing rehearsal'. What I strongly advocate for all golfers to do prior to the actually swinging the club is this. At the top of your swing maintain your coiled body and simply drop the club head solidly on the ground using only your hands and arms unfolding. Note approximately where you dropped the club head. Pretty far away from the ball to say the least. Right? Now return to the original set up an do it again only this time allow your body to unwind and shift it own weight. Doing my " One Piece Downswing rehearsal" works extraordinary for me and it will work for everyone no matter how good or bad their take away might be. The computer model actually supports what I am saying to be true. Everything else you mentions simply reacts with ' The One Piece Downswing" for perfect impact to the ball and a classic follow through. I know you think I am nuts; but try it yourself even with your eyes closed and get less experience players to try it as well. Remember; you heard about this unique downswing rehearsal from me first. No one that I know of ever suggested it. Their are many reasons why this happens automatically. Thanks for considering giving it a try.

      Vinsk no the rehearsal is meant to show a player if he did the back swing correctly. He would turn his body round and if the club drop to the ground similar as he set it up he has made a good backswing. If the club is drop more at his trail foot he went in to deep for his take away backswing. Also I recently discovered for myself that on my downswing the activation of the lead side and trail side actually begin to take place at the exact same time. Allow me to explain how this Is done: At the top of my swing I quickly unfold/ unhinge/ release ( call it what you will) all the hinges on my lead side all at once. The lead hand; the lead shoulder joint; the lead side of the hip joint; all of the lead side joints release quickly and in unison with each other. This immediate activate my trail hand which then allows me to swing the club with equal, quick and effective power coming from both sides of the body and ending in a classical pro looking finish. I know this has never been taught by any PGA teacher; but I can see the pro doing it; either instinctively or knowingly. The ides the the lead hip or knee should start a downswing is totally bogus to me and so I had to try another way. Hope I made myself clear and you try it yourself. This technique will prevent anyone from pushing or puling the club as it equalizes the powers coming from both sides of the body. Cheers

    The gears guy said it all and never opened his mouth. To separate the back and down just call it swing... although the feelings are distinctly different. We could of course start our swing like the baseball player club on shoulder or close to. The ball isn’t moving, smash away! You guys continue to bring forth the answers to my questions usually without even speaking. Love it, keep it up guys!

    Is that re-centering the figure 8 pivot action Ben Hogan did and taught decades ago This re- centering word just changed from figure 8 or is there a difference between the two

    • @AthleticMotionGolf
      @AthleticMotionGolf  2 роки тому +1

      We coined the term re-centering from what we see in good players do in 3D captures. They move their upper and lower bodies off the ball rough 1-1.5" in the backswing, then bring them back to where they started at address at the top. A literal re-centering of their body at the top, which is key for helping to generate ground forces early enough in the downswing. We've also done videos on the figure 8 you mentioned. That has more to do with "how" a player can position their pelvis as they re-center. Not every player will used the figure 8 while re-centering, but we see it help a ton of golfers move their pelvis correctly while shifting back towards the target.

    This is rreally about a video I saw yesterday about set up and keeping your hip joint overs your ankle. I/m 75 and suffering ffrom old man syndrome of lack of mobility. That being said I coupled the address position with a pause at the top and the thought of turning my chest and dropping my hands. OMG, what a difference and the others in my ggroup definatly noticed and commented. At least a 20 yard difference and in the middle. Thank you!

  • @marklucey1
    @marklucey1 6 років тому +1

    Quick question guys. If us amateurs get back to our lead side (assuming we actually do, and do it properly!) way too late.....and some pros start back to their lead side at club first parallel on the backswing........why don't we amateurs just leave "all" / "most" of our pressure on the lead side throughout the swing full stop? And just rotate our chest/arm unit? This sounds very like stack + tilt maybe? Not sure if I'm explaining myself well. Maybe as an "exaggerated feel"....coz we'll always maybe move SOME pressure to our trail side?Thanks!

    • @AthleticMotionGolf
      @AthleticMotionGolf  6 років тому +1

      Good question, Mark. In the most basic terms, the reason not to do that would be for the same reason you wouldn't throw a ball doing that... it really limits your dynamic movement and ability to generate speed. There needs to be a shift to the trail side, it just needs to be early. In fact, the best way we've found to get our ams moving to the lead side better is to help them get to the trail side better... the move to the lead side becomes much more of a reaction then which is always better.

    • @jabooky15
      @jabooky15 6 років тому

      I do this kinda, I start with my weight on my left side even though I still move It to the right then back to left mainly bc it just helps me feel how it was at address if that makes sense. Also with shits that are in between clubs I’ll leave my weight on my left side throughout the entire swing. It works for me

    I'm working on shifting my centre of gravity to the left early in the downswing at the moment. But I'm not sure if I should be rotating hard simultaneously or if it's more of a shift then turn move? Could be a good separate video..

  • @Rd-bi7vr

    Bob Toski in his picture book on golf, talks of a simple but world class drill: stand straight with arms to the front ( where a club handle would be)and then slowly swing the arms back and forth ...sense the pressure shift to back heel and then front foot and back again...as you are doing this start making small pitches...this is the golf swing with weight shift.

  • @markbarlow9955
    @markbarlow9955 4 роки тому

    What you do in the backswing you must undo in the downswing. For example, if you lift the arms and bend the right arm in the backswing, just do the opposite in the downswing. Just be in a slightly more athletic and ready position to deal with the extra speed in the body and club.

  • @solsak836

    It's flowing , but I remember tiger did a drill once with butch Harmon where he stopped at the top of the backswing fully before continuing, to work on getting into a better positions on the down swing

    You mentioned in this video and have shown a Pro in another video getting weight shift when club parallel on backswing. Since weight shift is such a major issue with us amateurs, why not start with a reverse K at set up by slight bumping hip over left knee, ankle and then start backswing. I understand it may limit the back turn but may gain on consistency, No?

  • @whodeyknowitall6979
    @whodeyknowitall6979 Рік тому

    How do the players that start their shift as early as club parallel and still get a proper coil into the trail side?

    • @AthleticMotionGolf
      @AthleticMotionGolf  Рік тому

      Because the shift is a lateral movement and happens with both closing and opening rotational movement.

    Can't wait to try this. I've been struggling MORE since I have really focused on shifting my weight all to my trail side through the backswing. I get caught behind, unable to shift my weight to my front side. This leaves me topping, or hitting the ball a glancing blow off the toe. Hoping this is the key.

    Thanks guys I'm having problems figuring out the roll /timing of the legs in the swing. Specifically should the leg/hip turn finish before the arm swing finishes or should they follow the arms and then start the downswing? I was at the range today and was able to do both but legs finishing first seemed easier to sequence. Thanks

    3:00 is a hard lesson to learn. It felt so incredibly underpowered and unnecessary as a beginner golfer. Fred Couples swing was my inspiration, as his hip firing to initiate the downswing is very visible to me.
