This video is a gold mine of insight! After learning so much about the swing from your videos over the years it's my belief that the swing should be taught in terms of your 3 phases and in terms of the dynamic movements required to master those three phases (as opposed to fishing for positions as you say). I think this concept would greatly accelerate the time required to build an elite golf swing!
You mention Dr. Kwon. I watched a recent video he did with 52 year old long drive pro Fast Eddie Fernandez. In it, the entire hip and shoulder turn on the backswing was initiated by starting with a slight bend of the right (trail) knee and then straightening the right leg quite strongly. There was no shift back away from the target, although Fernandez tends to do that. Kwon's push up motion automatically resulted in the hips and shoulders turning back fast. Kwon always recommends a fast backswing, though also allowing it to be completed and not rushing to start the downswing. He says the fast full backswing promotes a fast downswing. So he told Fernandez to wind up with the fast backswing created by the right leg straightening, coiling the body, and then letting loose on the downswing. I was trying to copy this while working with drivers at my local PGA superstore in Rockville, Maryland. I was trying to get more clubhead speed, and not guiding or slowing and pausing the backswing, but instead using the abrupt straightening of the right leg to turn the hips and shoulders back and then letting it fly on the downswing. Because I am an older golfer (just turned 82 on June 17) and don't have the rubber flexibility of a young person, I do run into a problem in turning the left shoulder a lot yet still being able to see the ball because making that full turn forces your head to turn and it's hard to keep an eye on the ball. The long session, working with three drivers and testing two different balls, meant a lot of force exerted on that right leg. I have a tendency to get pain in the right knee and down the outside of my calf. The orthopedist took x-rays and I don't have arthritis. My theory is that it somehow involves pinching the lower sciatic nerve branches that go through the knee and down to the ankle. I don't have any of the traditional sciatic pain in the hip area. But if aggravated this makes it really hurt to lift the leg and bend the knee, walk normally, or go up a stair. It comes and goes, and can suddenly disappear to where I feel fine and can walk well. Anyway, the long practice emphasizing the hard right leg push up that Kwon had Fernandez do did cause a flare up. So my question to you is, in this video I see you shifting away from the target quite lot on the backswing, then shifting back toward the target, via that leaning move Kwon teaches. But what I don't see is how you accomplish turning the hip and shoulders on the backswing. I don't see keeping the right leg firm to push off from, or the bending and quick straightening of the right knee as something that automatically promotes a full and fast backswing. Could you discuss how you recommend getting the hips and shoulders turned back. I have seen several of your Gears videos with the blue avatars showing the difference between pro and amateur hip turns on the backswing and downswing, but I don't recall seeing instruction on how to get to those positions with leg movement.
You’re guy’s content is absolutely the best. I’ve been quietly following for a few months, but would like to say thanks, you make understanding this crazy stuff simple somehow.
i dont leave a lot of comments, but the tip about the club head toe being a little higher when holding the club out in front I think has helped me figure out my issue with slicing it. I have been having an issue where i am needing to roll my wrist to get the club face square and I think this will help. Thanks so much!
Hi Guys. Thanks for your dedication and hard work. Could you please explain why the "second" bump in the backswing is SO important and what happens if the second bump isnt employed
I was waiting for your next video to ask, but this video looks like the appropriate video to ask in: what are your guy's thoughts on the concept of the ProSendr? Maybe even any experience?
Very helpful to identify the trail upper arm as being parallel to the ground at the top. It is like giving the arms permission to go that high! You guys are a treasure.
I have limited mobility in my right wrist , only moves to around 45 degrees instead of 90. Do you think it would be good to try and have a strong grip and keep the right wrist straight up and down at the top ?
I believe that you've mentioned this point in a different video: the shift off of the ball ends when the club is furthest away from you (and the target); "recentering" is initiated as the club arcs up and back towards the ball (closer to you) ... right?
Great stuff. The breaking up of the backswing into loading on the trail side until halfway and then moving weight to the lead side into two parts, and then combining them, makes the concept so much easier, especially for my irons. How do I do it for the driver and staying behind the ball hitting up on it? The movement to the lead side during the last part of the backswing tends to make me hit down on the ball with the Driver too, with bad results.
These guys are truly the best. A few thoughts from other videos of theirs that help answer your question. At the last part of your downswing with the driver your chest / spine tilts slightly away from the target which helps to flatten your angle of attack and makes it easier to minimize forward shaft lean. You really don't want forward shaft lean with your driver. In some of their other videos they show in GEARS how with the driver the pelvis will be ~5" forward from starting position but the chest will be ~3" forward from starting position. This is what they call 'framing the ball'. With irons there is more chest covering of the ball with more forward shaft lean and more negative angle of attack. With the driver your chest doesn't cover the ball as much so you have less forward shaft lean and a more neutral angle of attack.
Good evening from Italy boys!! As we head into winter here(luckily I will escape back to Aus for Christmas) have you thought of a session exploring some “Athletic. Low Impact…” stretches, exercises to enhance your drills/lessons/advice? We do a fair bit of core and balance stuff which I think helps an old bloke but it is pretty general - ideas?
Great stuff gentlemen. Do you have a deep dive video into trail hip internal rotation with gears data? I'm curious about whether pros start their take away with some amount of internal rotation into the trail hip moments prior to the upper body turning or if internal rotation is only a result of the lower body resisting the upper body turn overall. I have a habit of shifting/sliding my hips off the ball while keeping my head in place before starting my upper body takeaway. I'm looking for a feeling to start the takeaway that reduces this shift which results in my spine being tilted toward the target for the first half of my swing. Been a fan of your work for years. Keep it up guys. Thanks.
That's a really good question and a topic we should definitely make a video about. In the meantime I can share that for many players the lateral move off the ball happens before much if any internal happens. We're talking the first few inches of the backswing. Rory would be a good example of this. Then by the end of the takeaway, the trail hip has moved into ~15* of internal. A thought we've had a lot of success with is to feel your trail foot firmly pressuring the ground while your shoulders turn. That produces the above numbers without much additional thought.
Thanks for the reply. I'll spend some time working on that feel. Hopefully it will keep me a little closer to where I feel like I want to be. Swinging around the axis of my spine when it gets tilted toward the target has given me some back problems in my early 30s.
Great content guys. 12 handicap here and a lot of the doubts that I’ve had have been cleared out after watching a lot of your videos. I wanted to ask you about players like Fred couples in the backswing. I happened to place my right arm/elbow in the same position as he does where the elbow is not in front of his chest and the angle of the elbow is maybe over 100 degrees. If I would not be able to get my elbow in front a my chest in the backswing, what compensations could I make for it. Or would you guys recommend me to just avoid this move.
It's always a matter of severity. We've seen a lot of golfers in that position, but Freddie makes it work like very few can. What do you reckon is keeping you from a lower index?
@@AthleticMotionGolf Do you guys offer online lessons? So I have been working on my shoulder mobility and I think that is what was holding me off. I have become stiff by sitting at the office all day (even though I am young) and after working on mobility and even using a ball between my forearms during my swings, it has helped me tremendously on making sure my elbow stays in front of my chest. It is incredible how much more difficult I was making it by creating unnecessary movements. Your videos are the best when it comes the ACTUALLY learning what the pros are doing and what to avoid with actual proof and evidence thanks to the AMG technology and data obtained from these pros. Awesome videos guys.
Hey guys, I enjoyed the video. By working on the body first, are you of the belief that the body influences the way the arms and club move more than the arms and club influence the body?
We see more players, who tell us they focus on the body, struggle more than we see players who tell us they focus on moving the club. The reality is both have to perform. It’s often a recipe for failure to think “I just have to do one and it’ll take care of the other.”
You discuss on this weeks podcast about lowering the club head down to the ground and how that’s not casting. If you are straightening the right arm, but expected to maintain some elbow bend in that right arm, is there are average that the right elbow is bent at impact?
@@barryriddell3684 We actually do have video planned for this 🤓 But in the meantime, it's ~10 more than where the player's bend is at setup. Some, but not a lot😊
After my session with Dr Kwon, so much has been taken off my plate namely confusion. The "shurn" motion is the core of the swing. If you don't do that, that's where you start. Once you have that, everything is easier. I have less to work on and what I am working on is so easy AND I'm not jumping around trying to figure out what the hell I'm doing wrong. Shawn and Mike have clarified it all for me. I wish I was closer to them as I'd definitely work with them.
Me too! But, I only watch the videos and make a lot of practice swings in my yard, due to multiple resource constraints. But, some day I’m gonna play some good golf because
Great content as always. As I practice, I find myself going back and rewatching your videos and often find little "gems" that did not stick in my mind or my swing the first time I watched. Priceless for continual improvement. Thank you, AMG!
Great video - wish there was a BONUS step for what the hips do. I know there are other videos you've made, but this would have been a great all-in-one.
In the Tiger video, it looks like he re-centers right at the top of his arm swing, rather than as he is going from left arm parallel to the top. Is that a mid read of the video, or are you recommending doing it earlier because most players do it too late?
Good question. He's doing it as his club is swinging back pointing towards the target. One thing to keep in mind that causes players a lot of trouble interpreting what they see on video, is that when you see something on video, what caused it happens before you SEE it. We see a lot of golfers trying to get to a spot when they SEE a it happen which always results in getting there late.
I actually have had a shift and then recenter for some time but what I wondering is when I do the recentering, how long before I start to rotate the hip, do I finish the recentering and then turn the hip and then the shoulders?
To go further with the tip of thinking at the same time. George Gankis explains with arbitrary numbers, your hands max speed is 100mph, your shoulders are 65mph and your hips are 30mph. There is no way for you to speed your hips up so you have to start your hips first (recenter) then, as you turn(hip rotation) your shoulders start up (shoulder rotation), then your hands fire (wrist rotation) to catch up with everything at impact.
If your thinking of the golf swing as that segmented, no offense but your doomed. That being said, you can segment " drills" just dont confuse your drills with a "swing"
@@timcastle938 For many it is necessary to segment the swing. No different than learning to play something like the piano for instance. Learning where the hands go and on what keys at what time is the foundation to playing the "music." If you don't have good segments, you're not going to have much of chance to play good music (or have a good swing) 😊
I really like the idea of dividing the swing into thirds. I would say the concept of recentering has changed my approach to golf entirely. Drilling down on recentering... The notion that there are TWO CENTERS (Ribs and pelvis) and they recenter over each other... SURF (I love that metaphor) helps me to detox from the "fire the hips" first cult 😉😭 Stylewise.
