This is what you ALL you need to know about golf. It took me 1 year of lessons to get what he is saying. Follow this guy. This is just brilliant and will avoid time and money loss
Absolutely brilliant teaching. No special sales pitch in the middle with your trademark name of instruction. Just real information. Practical and it works if you want to really improve your game. Stop the band aids. Fix your root issues by watching every video you can from this gentleman 😊
What a great explanation Andrew of how the arms and wrists work in the golf swing. I've watched a lot of You Tube lessons, and this is one of the best! Well Done Sir!
OK, another video I will several times through without hitting the ball, then to the range. Keep emphasizing the way you do, my game is improving, video by video, drill by drill, day by day. Thank You!
Hi Andrew, yet another excellent video that easily breaks the different parts of the swing into bite sized chunks - easy to digest and a definite “head to the range” to put into practice! KR, John, near Brighton UK 😊👍
Thanks Chris!! It’s a blend is all - Ground Pressure through the feet, arms swing and wrist articulation. More emphasis on the last two is important! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Great lesson as always. Going to work on this lesson this week. I have been forcing my body too much. The arms and the wrist will bring the bosy thru the swing. Thanks Coach A.
This is a great video for us. I try to remember at times in my game when I have a critical shot to not let my body out run my hands. I'll practice this. Thanks for the video.
Lots of effective ways to move the golf club. This is one approach that every player should try especially if need more freedom speed height than getting from body driven connection concepts.
I will add that what this dude teaches should be tried by any player struggling to overcome flinching early extension with thin rights. Letting the arms swing and body react can defeat that killer move.
Tried this technique on the course last weekend. Started with fat shots but as i got into my round the strikes were much better. Getting the lead arm off the chest helped
Hi Gareth! Don’t pin that lead arm against your body and spin like so many golfers. It works down and forward - ‘off’ the chest past the ball! Get after it! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Great info, at 68 I still shoot around high 70 however 2 back surgeries and still coming over the top need help to get more in to a draw. Every time I try to drop my arms I hit it fat and end up going back to a fade anything you can suggest would be great thanks
When using two hands should I think about one hand (right or left) more than the other ? Or both hands equally? Thanks for the thorough explanation on this video. Just subscribed!
What a great question! Truth is it’s different for everyone. I personally feel my wrists working together as one. My lead wrist will generally orient the club-face on its approach to impact, and my trail wrist of course will provide the speed as the lead wrist stabilizes. I would dial into your own proprioception by closing your eyes and making some swings without a ball. Pay attention to what it feels like to you!! Best, A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
I remember awhile back a video you did and when I was practicing hitting balls I was focused on extending the right arm. It felt as though i was releasing early but my strikes were pure. Then I got away from it and watching this video again I did a few practice sessions and as soon as I started to extend my right arm what feels early my strikes were so pure. This video was great reminder for this.
Thanks for this lesson on the arms. I must admit that sometimes I have to intentionally extend my right arm when I find I’m not making good contact with the ball. You would think that it would just happen during the swing…but not always! Thanks!
Andrew: 71 years old, 6 handicap, lifetime golfer. Been using your methodology for last 2 weeks. Iron play much improved. Fairway woods improving. Still coming over top too much on driver. Any drills or swing thoughts to drop arms and extend thru ball for driver?
Very rarely do I see enough golfers align far enough right with the driver. You have to take into consideration whats called dynamic plane. IF you want to hit a draw you need to be 5° inside out. That’s a lot easier with an iron and a hybrid. To be 5° inside out you’re gonna need to align 5° to the right to shift your swing direction. Bear in mind for every 1° you swing up on a golf ball the club exits 1° to the left. The opposite applies for an descending AOA. In addition aligning further right will slow down your spin phase and give your arms more time to work under the plane and of course out to the right! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Like how you explain tension. Only thing missing in your explanation is where the tension actually comes from. Tension comes from failure. Theres weeks i play well no tension at all & weeks i can't hit the ball at all. This is where the tension starts. If i relax without hitting the ball correctly tension is going the reoccur. Keep up great videos, thanks.
Great lesson Andrew. Any tips on keeping the left arm from collapsing? Having trouble keeping the left arm straight and making a full turn in the backswing. Thank you.
Larry - Golfers are obsessed with keeping the lead arm extended in the backswing which very often creates excessive tension in my experience. The trick is understanding that even if the arms get pinched at the top, IF you delay the bodies spin phase you can unpack them vertically and in fact create more arm speed! Having said that most golfers get narrow because they haven’t hinged and folded their trail arm earlier enough in the backswing! You’re likely collapsing because you have to - to create any arm speed! I’ve attached a video that talks about the role of the trail arm. I hope it helps! Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻 ua-cam.com/video/ELcJZmvLzSw/v-deo.htmlsi=TSl1-mgQX2jME6uv
Andrew: I love your stuff!! Now, I'm 73 years old and play to a 6-8 hdcp from the Blues (6800 yds) and I was really concerned that my distance and speed would soon decline. Frankly, it did!! So, after watching your videos I went and tryed your speed techniques and it really worked for every iron in my bag except the 5 iron. The real problem comes with the driver, fairway woods and hybrids---these clubs are longer and I just can't seem to "take the elevator" without being too steep. I believe in your thoughts with every iron but I need either a visual or a thought to create the longer distances for the woods. My irons, I have increased the distance by 15-20 yards but the woods and longer irons (5,4,3) just don't want to cooperate---and thoughts?????
At 73 you’re handicapping yourself by not having a 5/4/3 hybrid in my opinion! I don’t use a 3 iron and I have crossovers for my 5/4 iron……It’s like cheating. The misses are better, the trajectory is higher and you can stop them on a dime. They’re easy to hit from both the fairway and the rough also. Having said that it’s likely that your swing is a little steep and to be honest. Without seeing your swing I’m throwing darts blindfolded! Happy to help if you would like to invest in your golf game! Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻⬇️ contact: andrewemery.golf@gmail.com
You need to give your speed a home so absolutely you should allow the club to re-hinge with the Driver. As you get wider and start adding more speed it’s critical that you create depth and avoid spinning as you change direction. That’s where virtually everyone goes wrong with the Driver!! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
great instruction as usual Andrew. One question. Swinging with one hand at a time produces noticeably greater speed than wit both hands on the club at the same time. Your thoughts please.
Great video. Question-I’ve been playing for 45 years and have always fought a flying right elbow. I’ve been able to improve that somewhat and gotten away from going across the line. Still struggle with being too steep and OTT at times. Any suggestions on how to do what you are teaching based on that issue?
Hi Jeff, it’s quite likely that you lack external trail shoulder mobility. Unless you’ve been tested you wouldn’t know. In any case Fred Couples and a number of great players have flying trail elbows. The key is repositioning the trail shoulder/arm on the approach to impact! I like my students to feel like their trail palm is pointing more towards the sky at the top of the backswing. IF this is a swing issue and not a mobility issue then this will definitely help relocate the trail elbow at the top! If you lack mobility I would suggest perhaps looking up sleeper stretch, and wall angels. These are good exercises that would help. Like all exercises if you feel any pain do NOT proceed with these exercises. Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Do you think its wrong to press the right shoulder back in the backswing? i tested this and i incresed my swingsspeed and i feel i got more power when i press the shoulder forwad in the downswing. I like your utube films very much. //stig from Sweden.
Hi Stig! Trail shoulder behind you in the backswing is a GREAT swing feel. Also allowing your trail hip to work behind you is helpful. Both of these feels will help you create more pivot depth and a wider pocket for your arms as they approach impact! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Raymond! You’re talking about ‘Ground Reaction Forces (GRF)’ which is helpful for sure. Force production is all about moving into and out of the ground in order to sling the club head faster! My advice - Do NOT work on this unless you are seeing a qualified golf coach! It’ll likely do more harm than good. Focus on educating your arms and wrists first and then marry that leverage system to your body dynamics so you have a sequenced golf swing. Ground mechanics are of course important but putting the cart before the horse is the easiest way for your golf to go sideways! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
You have a huge advantage!! A great drill is to hit golf balls left handed off a tee. Make smaller swings first and build up! Allowing the club to hinge and unhinge through the ball. Most golfers don’t have ANY left hand control. It’s harder than you think, even if you’re a lefty but it will help your swing a great deal! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Extending the lead arm in the backswing has destroyed a lot more swings than it’s helped in my opinion! If you lack mobility and/or strength I encourage flexing the arms (to a point) at the top so that you can unload the arms on the approach to the ball. Not everyone has the ability to transfer energy and speed kinematically from the ground to the club head! You have to help each student based on their individual needs. In any case I much prefer feeling like your trail arm is a little more extended at the top to create width! You want to maintain ‘structure’ but importantly minimize ‘tension!’ It’s a tight rope that I walk every day with my students! Best, Coach A.🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf Thank you for your explanation. Today I did not worry about keeping my lead arm straight which reduces my tension. I hit the much better today. But the tip you gave on moving the lead shoulder away from the chin at the start of the downswing is golden. It's a aha moment! Thanks again.
I ask myself that question all the time, as soon as they take over, I spray the ball all over, yet, I learn and was a 1 handicap just feeling my hands take over, then lessons and body biomechanics was introduced, now my hands get me in trouble, my body takes over and I play good but the feel of turning off my hands feels weird
Feels v Reals!! In my experience - you have to do what is right, not what feels right. Having said that, you also have to find what works best for you!! So many ways to swing a golf club. If you’re a 1 handicap with high swing speed then a ‘fade’ release pattern might be ideal! Bottom line - You need a reliable pattern. Start with what ball flight you want and then work backwards from there. Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
I’ve been working on this swing technique and have never hit my irons so pure and on line but nothing but push slices and blocks with the driver. Clueless as to what I’m doing that’s so different with the driver. Also seems like pulling the arms down fast and not dragging the club thru impact is contradictory. The swing is happening so fast how do you slow down the arms and transfer energy to the clubhead so that you don’t drag it thru impact. Seems like it has to happen on its own. Thoughts please. Thanks!
You have to throw the club head sooner! Twist it as you change direction and feel like your hands are behind the ball at impact!! I know it’s strange - start at 60% with some pull and pull draws and then increase your speed! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf Thanks coach! Also want to let you know that you are actually the first pro instructor on UA-cam that I’ve been able to take your instruction to the range and get immediate results. You have a superb way of communicating swing fundamentals. Hats off to you sir and thank you! I’ve been lost for years and local club pros mostly teaching a body swing method hasn’t helped, especially with an older guy like me with lower back issues.
Try locking up your wrists, elbows and shoulders and playing golf! Without leveraging the club you’ll have no speed whatsoever! However you spin it………#golfishard
Yes arms are the major speed producer but Sequencing is the key All pros like you started as weak kids,the club is very heavy,its milliseconds but the arms move last Most golfers start as strong men they move the arms first to take the club away then body Agree with everything in video,i do right arm only swings and strikes But warning you need some physical conditioning or u may injure yourself,use a tennis racquet first PS doing left arm only swings has turned me almost ambidextrous!
Golf comment: Funny… as a right-handed person who plays golf left-handed, I find lead side, one-handed swings easier than trail side, one-handed swings. None-golf comment: “Conflate” means to fuse into one entity or merge. It doesn’t mean to confuse or mistake.
I too am right handed playing golf left handed. I've had to learn to neutralize my right hand and arm during my swing. If not, I tend to pull shots to the right. Practicing trail arm swings only is a benefit. I focus on more left (trail) arm movement through impact to finish.
This is what you ALL you need to know about golf. It took me 1 year of lessons to get what he is saying. Follow this guy. This is just brilliant and will avoid time and money loss

Yes arms are the major speed producer but Sequencing is the key All pros like you started as weak kids,the club is very heavy,its milliseconds but the arms move last Most golfers start as strong men they move the arms first to take the club away then body
Agree with everything in video,i do right arm only swings and strikes But warning you need some physical conditioning or u may injure yourself,use a tennis racquet first
PS doing left arm only swings has turned me almost ambidextrous!
Salient points Graham! Thank you!

Golf comment: Funny… as a right-handed person who plays golf left-handed, I find lead side, one-handed swings easier than trail side, one-handed swings.
None-golf comment: “Conflate” means to fuse into one entity or merge. It doesn’t mean to confuse or mistake.
That makes sense! Always easier with your dominant hand. Best, A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
I too am right handed playing golf left handed. I've had to learn to neutralize my right hand and arm during my swing. If not, I tend to pull shots to the right. Practicing trail arm swings only is a benefit. I focus on more left (trail) arm movement through impact to finish.
