“Golf’s SECRET: USE your ARMS to ACTUATE your BODY DYNAMICS!”
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 бер 2024
- I’ve done a lot of video is in the past 12 months but none are perhaps more important to recreational golfers than this one! There are a few, and I mean a ‘small’ FEW elite coaches on YT that are talking about using your ARM SWING to ACTUATE your body dynamics.
All this means that you can utilize your arms to control or influence the movements and motions of your body. Essentially, your arms play a role in how your body moves and functions.

In the video I discuss TWO Simple DRILLS that engage correct FUNCTION of both the TRAIL & LEAD ARMS! IF you do the drills you’re going to FEEL what it’s like to swing the golf club with the SUPPORT of your body!!
I’m getting comments, emails and swing videos EVERY DAY from all over the world from golfers struggling because they thing their BODY drives their ARMS!!
There’s been a TREND out there right now for a few years that assumes that we are all capable of moving our bodies like Elite Tour Players. There’s an OBSESSION with body dynamics, creating lag, forward shaft lean and stabilizing the club face!!! Now I’m not here to say that these aren’t important elements in the golf swing.
IF you’re an ELITE golfer with HIGH SPEED who’s struggling to control the CLUB FACE there is of course value in using the BODY to STABILIZE or slow down the ROC (Rate of Closure) But these very things are in my opinion causing the exact opposite effect with 85% of golfers who are all well intentioned but are over using their body early and deferring to their arms too late!!!
Thanks for WATCHING, SUBSCRIBING and of course SHARING with friends who you think this video might help!

Thanks for the video
You bet! 👍🏻
Each time I watch your videos, the more I understood it. This is a treasure to keep.
Thank you!! Welcome aboard! A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
absolutely fantastic video. I can't wait to try those drills.
Thanks! Get after it!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Excellent lesson as always.
Thank you!🙏🏻
This advice works. I’ve been using it for a few months and it really helps.
Great to hear!! A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Gotta love beautiful Mt. Pleasant, SC, in the spring!
Couldn't agree more! 😎🌴⛳️
Another common sense video explanation- well done Andrew - I am already a club longer and trending in a very good direction- much appreciated sir
Wow! Excellent to hear. Thanks for watching and welcome aboard.
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
I’m so happy that a respected instructor is talking about the swing like this. I huge factor, in my opinion to get the body in lots of good positions that show up nice on video and to get there dynamically is you need to have intention to release the club after the ball. Soon as my intention changes by body goes into better positions. No early extension, no over the top. From there you can work on adding more body if more speed is wanted. The body is what everyone is talking about but that’s just a bonus on top of the arms and hands. Cam champ has the fastest club speed on tour, coincidentally fastest arm and hand speed too. Nice vid.
Very Salient points! Thanks Craig. Fast hands and arms with the support of the body = Ball go far!! 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Great content Coach A. I am all in with your swing theories, with great results. Would you bring in the big dog and talk about similarities or differences between Driver and irons. Thank you!!
I’m sure I’ll be doing more Driver vids this year but here’s one a did a while back. ⬇️
Cheers! Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻

Thanks for your work. Have you ever done a basics series, videos starting with the grip and working up? That would be very helpful.
I’m looking at a membership this Spring with an inner circle and video vault. Gotta try and leverage my time and put some meat in the pot!! lol Best, A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Really liked this video. I know that I struggle to release the club and as a result have not been getting the club head speed I desperately need. Looking forward to trying this on the range with a swing speed monitor. Many thanks.
You’re welcome, get after it!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
A few days ago I began to notice my right shoulder intruding into the space for my arms, with ruinous effect...so I started trying to move the arms/club while immobilizing that pesky shoulder..back and forth, back and forth with speed...and I ended up doing this exercise! thanks for confirming my impulse Andrew. Quite like your new " studio" and as always highly enjoy your way of explaining these complex subjects.
Thanks Bruce!! Great self observation. Get after it! Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Thanks Andrew. That’s a really helpful thought process. I’ve been working on what’s often referred to as “Hogan’s Magic Elbow”, which has been paying enormous dividends on the quality and consistency of strike and dispersion. Much improved, not quite 100%, but getting there. What you’re teaching here ties in nicely with what I’ve been successfully working on, and I can’t wait to get down to the club to try to blend it all together.
The problem is, I’m not looking out at Mount Pleasant, SC, on a lovely spring morning. It’s cold in England in March! I can always work on your practice drills in the kitchen. I doubt my wife would be at all surprised or perturbed.
I always enjoy your excellent videos. Keep up the good work.
And, thank you.
Glad the video helped! I coach several UK students online! Ping me if you would like a lesson A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻

Great video, these drills are making my body feel much more smooth than trying to twist myself into a pretzel like so many other videos I have seen.
Great to hear!!! Happy to take a look if you want to get after a virtual lesson! Have fun this weekend! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
www.andrewemery.golf@gmail.com
Yes! Absolutely, Once I get a feel of everything I’ll sign up for a virtual lesson. What club is best to use for the lesson a 7 iron or a driver? I’ll probably be filming in my garage where I have my Mevo+ launch monitor set up. Looking forward to getting out of the slow lane. 😂
You can do either! Shoot me an email whenever you’re ready and I’ll send you instructions for a virtual lesson. Look forward to coaching you! A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Wonderful insight and to the point. Many golf videos suggest starting the downswing with a more passive gravity fed movement, but this limits a loss of potential acceleration. Your comments about a strong and early use of your trail arm in the downswing was excellent! Like Moe Norman said, he wished he had 3 right arms! The increase in club head speed is amazing! I can't wait to play my next round and see how well I can harness the power! Thank you for this epiphany!!! Edison
I had the pleasure of watching Moe on multiple occasions in person. He always said “Vertical drop, horizontal tug!” Never ever thought about rotating his pelvis, but it reacted beautifully!!!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Off topic but wasn't that hogan who said that either way great advice
Very good Andrew- All of this works for me. Especially staying closed and not spinning out. That’s where the over the top move, where the slicers are swinging outside to in across the ball, rather then in to out, that creates a draw…. I see it all the time on the range….
Couldn’t agree more! Thanks for watching!
Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Love it swing is feeling smooth and fast now
Awesome!! Thanks for watching!
Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
OK -- lots to practice here. Like that I can practice it inside and just get the arms moving correctly. Thank You!
Perfect! Thanks for watching! A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
I really like this concept- really simplifies things. Any tips on preventing this from becoming a flip/glancing blow move through the ball?
Make sure the club face is square when you change direction first and foremost! And, stay closed as long as possible with your body as you transition!! Thanks for watching! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf Got it- thank you 👊🏻
Yes! Spot on. So few instructors get this. Mike Malasaka, you, Marcus Edblad. Of course positions can be observed. The real question is why do they show up. Hands and arms are the cause, the effect is the position of the lower body. The axe metaphor is gold. Ever since I stopped trying to hit positions and focussed on the hands I am hitting the ball so much better. Thank you Andrew
You’re welcome Michael. The “Feel Sequence” is fascinating to me! Arms swing the Axe yet the body is perfectly engaged kinematically. Try leading with the body and so often the sequence is broken!! What a crazy game!
Best, A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Instruction is so frustrating now. Performance Golf is hyping a instructor. She advocates turning the arms off to create effortless power/speed. She swings a towel then a rope to illustrate this. This is the Dr. Kwon rope drill designed to sync the arms and body with ground forces to create efficiency, speed, and power, which I agree with. But speed is still generated by the arms and hands while the body is the ignitor that gets out of the way down the chain. My point is every instructor is teaching something different, ultimately confusing golfers.@@AndrewEmeryGolf
Salient points! My students are my teachers - everything I teach is based on what I’ve experienced teaching! No theories or method coaching. I
’ve always felt that the best instructor in the world is the golf ball!! That tells me all I need to know. Bottom line - it’s up to us as coaches to find what works best for YOU!! Rather than you having to subscribe to a method I’ve always felt compelled to meet my students where they are when I’m coaching!
Thanks for the comment!
Best, A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Brilliant video on compression. Can a similar one be done on hybrids and woods?
John, same principles apply!!! The transition spin generally gets worse a golfers progress into the longer clubs. Think of exaggerating these feels more as you move towards the driver. You’ll be shocked how well you’ll hit it!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Andrew, I used to subscribe to a golf instruction site where the main swing thoughts etc. were all body related. Hardly anything about the arms and hands. Eventually, I took a step back and started thinking to myself that there has to be a better way. Get the arms moving is a mantra I tell myself over and over again. A question I have in regards to the left arm in the downswing. Some touring pros have a bent left arm at impact. Is this just a product of things they are doing well b4 impact? Anyways, thanks in advance as always. Also, we corresponded though email about online lessons and I still plan to take some with you. Unfortunately, life has gotten in the way for me right now, but as soon as things quiet down I will definitely shoot my swings over to you. 👍 🤘
Those are all characteristics and not faults. They probably were doing the same thing when they were juniors!! Lots of ways of getting it done. ✅
Tried this swing a couple weeks ago and my ball striking has greatly improved and my scores have drop by 6 strokes. Thanks.
Wow!! That’s a great comment for the website me thinks! 🤔 Great to hear! Welcome aboard and thanks for the comment! Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
so Andrew...if I am to change the direction of the clubs handle when it is just about down to the point of my right hip to create angular momentum, at what point should my brain tell my hands to do/allow this move because I fear if I wait until that point I am behind the curve as it takes some milliseconds for the instruction to be received by my hands...I like the move and it is obvious that the great ball strikers do this but the "how" and the "when" is been revealed by anybody that I have run into...thanks, Bruce
As long as you stall the spin phase I think you should feel like you’re allowing the club to work out towards the ball sooner! The best teacher in the world is the golf ball!! That’s your barometer!! Get after it!
Best, A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
I love your analogy to me I feel if your not using your arms or Hands it's similar to throwing across your body in other sports as we know when you do that it tends to be not very accurate and huge power loss are brains seem to be tuned into are hands and more important are fingers at least that's how I get the most feel is thru the finger tips thanks again for your knowledge
MLB Pitchers make better golfers than MLB hitters for that very reason!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Great explanation of the problems created by mainline golf tuition for the past 30 years or so for the vast majority of amatuers. I.e ' Get the body and legs right, using the big muscles, and the hands and arms will take care of them selves'. Imo this has led to a whole generation of amateurs, myself included, with too passive hands and arms that are too late to the ball at impact compared to where the body is. Your lessons are definitely improving things. I have found the trick is to activate the arms without a corresponding speeding up of the body.
A lot of salient points Colin. I agree with you, “over emphasizing” the role of the body without educating the hands and arms first! Thanks for watching and welcome aboard!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Andrew, I am still working at it. But no doubt I don't have the talent in me like you do.
Be patient and get after it!
Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Brother, you are an excellent coach! Even if you are British.
Cheers mate!! 🏌️♂️⛳️🇬🇧
🎯
Thanks! A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
This is a brilliant video Coach. Very helpful. Several years ago Lynnblakegolf posted a 3 part series where Tom Tomasello (in his seventies at the time) was talking about using your arms and hands to drive the golf swing. Your body responds. The link is for part two of the series where he talks about swinging the clubs past your hips just as you did in this video.

Thanks for the info. I’ll check it out!
A.🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Love it!! Fourteen of my high school girl students made their teams. 5 are going to be monsters. If anyone was to ask them what drives their swings they would say their levers(hands, arms, wrists). The body responds to what the levers tell it to do.
Congrats!! Well Coached! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf getting the big body rotation, fire the hips, drag the handle, keep your head down, store lag clichés out of those students takes time before the true learning begins. I wish I could run a few of mine, yours Malaska’s videos on a loop. Golfers would improve dramatically.
Yep, gotta press , interrupt the circuit board and run a new program!
You can capsulize really good golf advice from 8:30 to 10. Just that 1 -1/2 minutes will solve most of the problems of the average golfer.
Thanks! I’m glad it helped! A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
I started playing golf in Germany and I used a baseball swing and my coach told me that I wasn't allowed to use a baseball swing which Really messed me up 😢
Never met a pitcher that couldn’t play!! Hitters is another thing! Use your arms to employe your body to help you sequence. Hitters tend to get their bodies open way too soon!! Thanks for watching.
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf cheers
Yes I'm working on that but it feels weird feels like my arms are going down and I have to Wait
We all do Peter! It’s a sequence. Look at this as staying closed with your body as your arms work down. A diagonal drift with your body is fine but a spin early is dead!! Good luck! A.
@AndrewEmeryGolf thanks again for answering I watch a couple more of your videos I like the dropping into the left side
👏👍👏👍
The problem with all of these Golf videos is that they tell you to do 1000 things, and then say, ‘don’t think of anything during the swing’. 😆
A couple of simple swing cues (max!). Videos are a macro concept. Get micro…Back to target, faster arms, arms pulling you through etc! Find a simple feel that works for you!
A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
PS I once told a student to stop thinking and just swing. They said, quote - “Andrew, If I think about not thinking, I’m still thinking!” ….I had no chance!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@AndrewEmeryGolf Yea, it’s crazy game. Thanks… I appreciate the advice. 👍
Great
Thank you!🙏🏻
A golf swing is the body's reaction to the golfer's intent of whipping the ball away with the club by the hands.
Love it Pro!!⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
