Coach Andrew - These ideas work. I’ve been working at your ideas for a couple months. They are very effective and bonus= no back pain. I feel like I don’t use the body in transition. I turn back and then swing down while staying turned. That’s a feel. That’s not what actually happens. But I now feel like my body actually stabilizes me as I release through the ball. It’s the breaking action of the lead leg, as you say, The body is reacting to the arm swing instead of vice versa. I no longer lose my balance through impact. And it’s impossible not to swing slightly from the inside. The over the top stuff comes from too much body rotation too early in the downswing. Working great. Keep preaching these ideas. I think this will help a large number of golfers.
If that’s not an AHA moment then nothing is!! Congrats on finding a swing feel that works best for you!!! I couldn’t be happier for you! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
This and your other videos have 'been god send' - my instructor, god bless him, keeps showing me videos of young tour pros to model - you have improved me more with half dozen videos than 2yrs in person with a pro - still luv him; 71yr old and improving by 'articulating ' Thank You!
I’m so glad to hear that my videos have been helpful! Your Instructor I’m sure is heart centered and well intentioned. My advice would be to stay in “your lane!” I’m glad I’ve helped you find a swing that works best for you!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
30 year coach here .. thank you for emphasizing being open to finding the swing style that works for you ..lots of students don't have the flexibility of tour players and as you know have a way easier time hitting a ball a long way using hands and arms blended with body
I’ve never been a method coach. I believe it’s up to us as coaches to meet our students where “they are” based on a great many factors! Always great to get comments from my peers. Thank you sir!!!
All the best! A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Thanks Coach! Your lessons are simple and straightforward. Best thing about them is that they work! I will never forget the term "Feel vs Real". 🙂
You’re welcome! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Your concept of a feeling of fast hands and arms and a “slower” body has been a godsend for my back , at 58 and a 6 hcp it has made the game so much easier on my body and I believe I’m a better ball striker because of it
You’re why I do what I do!! Coach A. 🏌️♂️🙏🏻
New to channel; so useful for us senior golfers, and agree so many other channels have you going through impossible movements yet watching Scheffler his looks closer to what you teach
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
I had an over the top swing. Then started to practice dropping the hands more and less body. It took about 2 years of practice before I saw results. Initially my strike got worse and just gave up on it. Every instructional video talks about it so I knew I had to keep with it. I just want to encourage others that you need to grind some practice time with this. It will improve your strike. This is not a few sessions at the range. We'll it wasn't for me. I loved the mustard reference...lol made me laugh. My kids would not like it. I'd have to change to something like put some chocolate sauce on it. Thanks again for the videos.
Swing’s always better with a bit of mustard on it!! Thanks for watching!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Hey Andrew. Thanks!! Really enjoy your instruction and watching your channel grow. Best of luck! ⛳️
Thank you! 🙏🏻
This is my winter drill here in Blighty. Thanks Andrew.
Sounds good Ronni! Let’s go again soon! Best, A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Thanks for the lesson! Let's get to it!
Get after it! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Extraordinary video Adrew,!!! thank you very much
Thanks Carlos! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Great advice. Crazy as it may sound, I played a round with my trail foot back and the results were very good. Probably counteracts a decade of coming over the top.
Not crazy at all!! If there’s one thing Ive learned over the years. It’s find what works for YOU!! Thanks for the comment! Get after it! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Refreshing.
Thanks! 🙏🏻
Man that's good! The feel is turning my left leg into a post from a noodle and that's real 🎉
That’s awesome!! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Andrew, you never fail to disappoint with your videos. I know that I probably sound like a broken record, but I think it is good to let people know they are doing a great job which you are. Keep up the good work. 👍 🤘
Always great to get your comments!
Thanks! Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
I think he always fails to disappoint 😜
Awesome video and great advice!

Andrew explains so well n has helped me find my "true" distances & establish my consistent swing went from 110s to playing bogey golf after only swinging since march of 2023 under 1yr , thanks a mill Emory 👍🏻 u r the man👏🏼
You’re welcome!! Super happy to hear that hard work is paying off for you!!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
As a fellow PGA teaching professional I want to tell you how much I not only agree with your teaching method/style/swing, but that you have a great way of explaining it. You always acknowledge that there are other ways to swing a golf club, and that there is a body driven swing but it is more complex and generally not for the average golfer, so don't bother chasing it. But I really like how you explain that, yes, the body is somewhat involved, but not as much as people understand. And yes, the arms and wrists play an important/critical role, but that there is a marriage/synchronization/blending of upper body, lower body, arms and wrists. Keep up the good work and realize you have a fan in Toronto Canada.
David, I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. It means a lot when I get comments from my peers. I’m walking a fine line between the body driven coaches and the CFI guys. I just don’t believe it’s either/or.
I think a sprinkle of both based on the student you’re coaching makes a lot of sense. Elite golfers with hyper mobility looking for more club face stability v Recreational golfers that are inflexible looking for more speed! 80% (+) of course fall into the latter so that’s where I’ve parked myself!!
Welcome aboard and thanks again for checking in! Best, A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf the vast majority of students I teach (over 30 years worth) generally struggle with the most basic components, which is why I also teach what you are teaching, not withstanding the Golf HOF is filled with that exact swing. When I get a client who has a decent swing and index, together we review their swing and discuss the options. If they present to me a body driven swing we will work together on that method, buts it’s rare.
Lastly, both swings require learning, regardless of method, so I teach what I think is less difficult. If only I can get them to take 70% of the tension from their hands, arms and shoulders of which I am sure you know what I mean.
Nice chatting with you.
Hi Coach. This is a great drill. Very effective. I am a 77 year old who has been struggling with. "body" swing for a few years. I have always had trouble rotating; always got balk bound and my body essentially stopped once I struck the ball. Just discovered your channel and your videos on linear and angular momentum have been a revelation for me. I am actually hitting through the ball rather than at it. Quick question on wedges, which I struggle with. Do you incorporate linear momentum on your wedges at different speeds (back swing width) depending on yardage to target? Do you have a video that covers that? Thank you so much. I am really enjoying and benefitting from your content.
Building a wedge matrix is really important. The backswing remains fairly constant. It’s the through swing that varies in my opinion! Matching up the length of your swing to the trail foot is critical. I’ve attached a lesson that hopefully explains in simple terms the concept! The release should feel the same. Don’t transition spin!

I went to to the driving range and tried this and wow, it was amazing! I was to the point that I could not even hit my driver anymore and when did ths drill I hit the ball great. Everyone needs to see this video if they want to improve the ball striking and distance.
How good is that!!! Comments like this are why I started my channel. Congrats and stick to it. You’re going to find speed and consistency you never knew existed!!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Exceptional content. My father and I just finished a great practice session in the backyard working on these feels. We’ve both been letting the club get behind us too much rather than up in the backswing. This more vertical backswing has us standing closer to the ball.
Fantastic!! Glad the vids are helping!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Clear, concise, and understandable video. I especially appreciated the linear to angular transition portion. Unfortunately, my knee is wacked and I cannot do full swings right now. Hope to review this video after a knee replacement!
Good luck with the surgery and a speedy recovery! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Andrew, I have been checking you out for a couple of months now - I'm subscribed and committing now to your paradigm. I have struggled mightily with getting to my left side - when I play poorly (most of the time), my weight is back and I fall back. The sequence of my swing changes from one swing to the next, trying to "fix it". I'm hoping the tips/drills in this video (L to L and Closer drill) give me the platform to do just that. I'm heading for the Sim now to get started.
Thanks for the comment Tom!! I’m glad you’re enjoying my channel. Thanks for watching and welcome aboard!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
A great help and explanation as usual.
Love your work.🇮🇪☘️🏴👍☘️
Thank you sir!! I’m glad it helped.
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Tried this in the game, it facilitated stability. It’s not easily doable separating lower body from upper body in the down swing; as I speed my arms faster I lose sight of the ball but more importantly is creating tension; that’s why I think my lead arm braces me from falling , I believe. I need more time to unlearn the old and then learn the new.
Outstanding drill coach A.
Thank you sir! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
👏👏👏👍
Thank you! 🙏🏻
This concept/thought changed my game from 15 hcp to single in a year of practice. I spent years trying to use the ground/body driven and often would spin or get stuck. Feeling the arms dropping first is such a game changer. If you see this do not jump around on YT stick with a concept that works for you as this does for me. Great video!
Wow! What an incredible improvement!
Thanks for sharing!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Hi Andrew, does this apply to all irons & Driver pls. These drills are definitely improving my game. Great easy to follow instruction. Thanks
Different set up but yes, they all apply!
Get after it! Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Just subscribed, this is one of the best golf lessons I have ever seen for all golfers beginners and advanced ones. Fantastic content, which Ping irons are you using?
Welcome aboard! Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Awesome video sir! 🙏🏽 thank you…
You’re welcome!! Get after it!
A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Andrew, two questions for you. First off, I sent an email to you about a week ago regarding your online lessons. I never heard back. Second, I think in theory I understand the moving the arms faster, but I am really throwing the club with the hands too early it seems. The path seems good. Love the drill also.
My apologies! I just did a quick audit and don’t see your email in my inbox or junk box. Shoot me another when your schedule permits and I’ll send you instructions. Best, A.

Fantastic information
Thanks Tony!! Welcome aboard!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Well explained👍
Thanks Robert! 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Great video 😊
Thank you sir! 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Hi Andrew, love the content and I completely agree with you philosophy on the swing. I’m having wonderful results from the “unpacking” of the arm hand structure. I do get out of sort on occasion with it and am just wondering once at the top is the feel literally arms straight down behind without the feeling of turning? Hope that question makes sense.
Hi Jason!! That depends on the golfer! 80% of golfers get horizontal (turn) too early. In other words they transition spin which throws the club out and over the plane. IF you hook the golf ball then dropping the arms may not be as helpful!
People that hook the ball usually have too much vertical (tilt) and not enough horizontal (turn) as they change direction.
IF you’re like 80% of golfers that slice and/ or struggle with speed then, yes….Stall the spin phase and drop the arms!!
Hope that helps!
Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Brilliant demo and description as always. That box, will you accept $40? 🙂😂
Ha!! But wait, buy one now and I’ll throw in second box for free!! Thanks for watching! Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Another great Job coach !! Just two questios to take the drlls to the range. 1. from the top of the backswing when you say low arms (verticals ) where point the grip on that initial way of the downswing (trai foot, ball 🤷♂️) ? 2. And from there where do you “feel” you realease the club (on video looks pretty on líne but you draw it amazingly 🤩). greetings from a fan of your work 😜🏌🏽♂️🇦🇷🇦🇷
Butt and of club at ball target line in transition. But they feel may vary depending on the students swing pattern! Start to release the club around P5 without spinning the body. Simply allow your arms to employ your body as you continues to turn through the ball.
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Happy Weekend Guys n’ Gals!
Wish I lived closer to AE for in person instruction!
How far out are you booked Andrew for online lessons?
Fairways and Greens…
Best,
Steve
Steve, message me via my website so we can discuss further! :)

@@AndrewEmeryGolf will do…thanks!
Great drill, is the drill the same for fairway woods?
Yes sir!! All clubs!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
See The Jim Venetos golfswing weight on the left draw any time
Thanks for watching! A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
I was wondering, is there a third element to the closer drill (apart from path and weight distribution) ? I saw you keeping a pretty nice spine angle through impact at 11:30 in the combo
It helps you keep your pelvis behind you and “in its depth!” // A great drill for those golfers struggling with early extension!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Hi Andrew, what would cause push fades with this split leg drill. It gets to almost a slice when I do a regular swing.
It’s likely a club face to path issue. Rotate the toe of the club down earlier from behind you! You’re likely dragging the handle too much. Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
It just so happens that I have a couple of months until the snow melts.
Perfect! You’ll be ready to roll come springtime! Get after it!
Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Hi Andrew, do you do online lessons?
Hi Jason, yes! I do online coaching every day as well as in person lessons. Shoot me an email at:
Andrewemery.golf@gmail.com
Once I hear from you I’ll email you instructions on how best to proceed! Best, A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
When I do the old L. drill or the hitchhiker drill I hit pulls to the left and your shots are dead straight or with just a slight little draw. What am I doing wrong? Could you help please?
Start by putting a head cover slightly outside the ball. Miss the head over! It’s quite possible that you need to swing a little more from the inside!!
A. ⛳️🏌️♂️👍🏻
Could I be release my club looks like it is closed at impact / face is closing before I hit the ball? Your Thoughts.
Brrr…54degrees in Charleston today!
Ha!! We’re spoiled that’s for sure!
Thanks for commenting!
Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
extreme closed set up [closer drill], weight forward, feet together L to L release,..its Jim Venetos with a release. Jim does not teach release and the reason I quit him and pissed him off. I blocked-pushed many shots and he blamed horizontal right shoulder coming over into impact.I'm a 5 handicap and 69 years old. Please understand your "Mustard" emphasis can produce horizontal" kill" tendencies?? Very difficult to "keep back to target" when you are espousing "mustard"..the drop into your box has to be vertically "soft" not "mustardy" I think?? For example, very hard to add "Mustard" with feet together drill and stay balanced? Please make a video on how to " USE MUSTARD and STAY CLOSED THRU IMPACT".. Same as KEEPING BACK TO TARGET that you mention and which is perpetually mentioned on UA-cam [ but cant be explained by anyone but Venetos] . Will your BOX DROP Vertical With L to L Mustard keep the majority of us CLOSED?? I think you are the best teacher on UA-cam
Thanks for your comment. And, the summary - The “Box Drop Vertical with L to L Mustard!!” That’s quite the hook!! 🤣 I don’t like to over-instruct but I believe that the vast majority of golfers need to educate their hands arms and find a release pattern that works for them.
Whenever you’re ready let’s do that online lesson we discussed. I’m confident I can help! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
