Good stuff, Milo. As one that has rushed the downswing since ever, and actually gotten away with it, it is extremely difficult to not rush it while I’m learning your formula/method. I’m definitely seeing/feeling great results when I’m able to sequence properly, just not able to be patient in transition consistently yet. Thanks for the drills! Can’t wait till all this is ingrained in my mind - 🤙
This is my number one nemesis. I actually stopped a driver's swing today with my hands starting the tomahawk move, then the next real swing I stayed back and hit a pull draw. I have been working on a lot of you drills but on the course I go back to bad tendencies a lot. Thanks for the videos
Wow! There was SO MUCH packed into that video: the swing analogy of the transition of directions was great, the weight shift starting before the club changes direction, the weight shift preceding the change of swing direction, the pressure shift, the smooth acceleration of the club, the squat prior to downswing, the loose connection of the wrists, the feel of the left shoulder not starting the downswing! I had to save it! I like as a drill the "little" back and forth swings Milo was demonstrating a 3:50. I've learned to spin, but that's just a variation of proper rotation that lacks the weight shift, pressure shift and sequence that Milo showed. Great video. Thanks!
I love the analogy of a kid on a swing and how you feel like you’re floating at the end of the swing. This video is pure gold, particularly for me, as I get way too quick in transition. Great content throughout. Lots of wonderful ideas/concepts. Thanks Milo and Henry!
I can see/feel the flow from the new website vids from your TalonCove school. I tend to lose the flow when I'm thinking more "Sheftic board get weight shifted target side earlier." It is a balance that I have resolved more towards the 'swim move' and 'flow', 'spiral' side of the ledger cause it pulls everything together!
Something you two may address is tightness in upper torso amongst most of us amateurs that don't swing a club every day. Lack of flexibility and tightness is a major cause of a rushed transition and disrupting "flow". Thanks for content
That is true many people especially those that spend a large portion of their lives seated struggle with thoracic mobility issues. We have a mobility specialist on the team to help our students improve their mobility.
I've heard the term "Float Loading" .....seems to be an accurate description. So, float load, recenter, then go Do you agree with the following observation...to do this requires a late wrist break in the backswing. Early wrist break seems to prevent the "float". Your thoughts. Good content as always.
Elefant walk... is a great drill.. shawn clement talks about it.. also the kid on a swing, pull too hard and the kid falls off.. its like u give the club and arm unit to gravity ... as u start to rotate u then get hold of the unit again, and then u whip it through. if that makes any sense..
Milo/Henry, this is a big piece of the swing I struggle to execute. Completely understand the concept and analogies to BB or skipping rock. I have no issues doing practice swings or air swings. When I get in front of the ball, I just get back to the old pull down mode. I assume it is just more repetition and keep doing it until it clicks! If you have any other suggestions, would love them! Thanks the content.
This may be about not trusting how forces are produced. Sometimes taking a full swing, and without decelerating, hit it 25% of your normal distance may free you up to fully explore the concept because you give yourself permission/expectation to hit it short. What you may find is that you can do it with a smooth swing and little effort and hit it nearly as far as a 100% swing. From my experience it is a letting go of old power generation thoughts issue (often). Alan
The gradual gathering of momentum for the swing originated in the early 70's and was named after the instructor who taught it, its called the Mr. Suffleupagus Drill. I think I am right in saying that.
My only swing thoughts are: 1 . Throw the club up to the top using both rotation and the mass of your body. 2. Try and STOP the club at P4.5 ie at transition. It syncs the rotating mass, with the swinging club head and also flexes the shaft to max !!!!
Another great video! Question for you guys. Would you describe the general athletic motion of the swing as if you’re winding up to jump in place and spin in the air (counterclockwise for the righty)? Been trying to find a comparable way to conceptualize the move without a club. Jumping like that also requires flow. Thanks!
Not sure there is a stock answer for this, but as you flow down in the swing, is there a precise point where you really pour on the acceleration before impact? Thank you 😊.
It’s hard to say precisely. I feel a chain reaction and definitely am pouring on the speed throughout the downswing. The key is it needs to work from inside out to the club.
Keep your back to the target and dont exelerate the club. Because you will flex the shaft to early, instead of flexing into impact and releasing that flex out of the divot. , in order to do this, you must not apply torque to the golf shaft in transition. The idea of release in modern golf teaching relates to the release of the physical power accumulators, but this is a false concept. What release really means is really the release of the flex of the golf shaft! You can only realise the leaf spring effect of the shaft releasing, when the rotating mass of the body is mechanically coupled to the dead falling arms surrendering to gravity. Ie because they are both falling at the same speed, they are not moving independently of each other, and a mechanical coupling can be realised. The idea of a slow transition at the top is to take momentum away from the shaft , which it would otherwise utilise on the downswing in order to escape from the rotating mass, which would result in an ' out of phase' downswing whereby the arms are moving independently from the body. this means that you would strike the ball with only the mass of your arms wich have been disconnected be the stored energy in the shaft, which was not dissapated at the top of the swing and at transition. To summerise : one needs to pause at the top, in order to dissipate stored energy in the shaft, which when dissipated on the downswing, would allow it ( the golf club) to eascape from the rotating mass and mechanically decouple itself resulting in very low smash factor!

Right, the swing isn't moving in pieces, we ideally like it to be one continuous movement.

Torque of a wheel from the center is simple and brilliant. Now if I could only do it. 😀

It's your intention and movement chain, throw a ball, the chain works naturally, you don't have to try, once you try, you're f*****

Grest video. I struggle with this alot.
Thanks for watching Mike. We would be glad to help you 1-on-1 as a member of our online academy. milolinesgolf.com
@@MiloLinesGolf videos do t help need 1 on 1 cause of my vision problems. But thanka for the offer.
Excellent

Not exactly. I’d say you are winding up to compress down and unwind and then jump and spin.
@@MiloLinesGolf great distinction. Thank you!

As always great content guys, keep up the good work and I will be seeing you at the playground !
Just watch out for my kids at the playground haha.
What about Cam Young's powerful swing ? Do you see any flow there ?
He's got some wonderful flow, just a bit more delayed at the top to collect himself. I would not say he freezes though.
How can you swing the golf club while keeping a steady club face that you show in other videos?
That is a complex question but if you are using your body as the engine and you have proper arm and wrist structure face rotation will be minimized.
Maybe the difference with baseball and why I struggle w/golf. I have very quick hands and crush baseballs.
The best hitters all do exactly what we described in this video.
I bet if i try to float, id still find a way to yank at the grip and straighten arms out at the ball.
Maybe, got to train it.
@@MiloLinesGolf v true. I like that play the flute lesson. That will surely help me with this!
Here's a good drill: spend ten minutes watching Fred Couples' swing.
It's about intention, it's definitely now about feel, l that's the rubbish that f***s people up
