Hi Roger, As a fellow follower of MDLT, I just wanted to say your explanation is even clearer than the book Understanding the Golf Swing. Thanks for sharing this visual-it’s really helpful! Phil
Roger you are an outstanding teacher. Very detailed but simple concepts. After watching this video, I went out and broke 80. This is something I haven’t done in a long time. Would have been even lower if my short game was better. Thank you. Very much appreciated.
I’ve been watching your videos from the beginning and they just get better and better,but this one just tops it for me,I have now got solid foundations for my swing,thank you so much,,👊
Damn! It's dark here, otherwise I'd be going out somewhere right now to try this. Got an inkling of this feel today, so it's great to see it explained in detail. Thanks for posting!
Hey Roger, thanks for the video this really fixed my swing..hitting it longer and straight..but I have a slight issue with my driver..hit it long and straight but I’m pushing it a lot..any quick fix or video you might have.. Thanks again, much appreciated Chris
Hey Roger great vid, I think most students are not paying enough attention to how the butt end of the club moves in on the downswing as the club head moves out towards target.. the slow mo videos have damaged a lot of golfers as they try to hold off angles in the downswing. If the butt end drops and works inward towards centre that’s not an early release. It allows the head of the club to move out towards target. I’ve been watching your videos and have picked up huge speed and balance. Thanks 🙏
I agree the arms have a role but the lat muscles loading and unloading help. control the low point many beginning golfers use independent arm and shoulder motion that causes flipping and casting
Hands bring club over shoulder . If use arms in beginning of swing I agree .. all the other bad stuff happens ..lats load because of hand path and arm keeping radius
Awesome video. Thanks for decluttering the golf swing. But please can we see you hit some balls. It would be very helpful to see this in action. Otherwise it's not so easy to imagine how this looks when you actually hit a golf balls.
How did you know I watch Milo lol I do believe as you do that trying to do his swing is way too difficult to get everything just right . Thanks for the info because I was also confused on what to feel on the downswing with the upper right arm . I for the longest time have been trying to learn Jim Hardy’s swing but he has absolutely confused me with giving information one way then contradicting it in another
People should go back through all of Roger KIng's videos, old to new, as certain wording, phrases and ideas, will now sink in, easy to miss on first time watch . There are a lot of videos, do not rush though , go back though.
When I was playing good 30 years ago I always felt I WAS HITTING THE BALL WITH THE SIDE OF MY LEFT THUMB.....yup....That is what I felt.....even chipping was same feel except when chipping it was side of RIGHT THUMB...YUP...pretty much everything 50 yards and in was SIDE OF RIGHT THUMB
@@rkswingking.....yup.....I FELT as if I FLICKED THE BALL.....wasn't especially long though....driver 285-295, 7 iron number was 174 as I recall, 8 iron number 160 .....I think I liked the rubber band ball better except for the old proV1 395 .....I hope people listen to you... you seem to give good info.....sadly, most people can't be helped because "they know more than any living soul"....yup
@rkswingking okay so forearm rotation occurs even with the right hand motion which through the motion you describe the hand extends upwards not through hinging type motion it just flicks backward towards sky but does it actually rotate inwards towards you like the forearm rotation you describe
@rkswingking are you refering to the down swing stage of the swing with previous comment roger if so thanks , and yeah I was discussing the take away backswing part or trying to articulate , sorry have I confused you in way I'm talking 🙂😂
So something thsts not rocket science is being explained by many instructors and equipment manufacturers as rocket science in the name of money instead of pleasure.
I have been golfing for 40 years and this is the best explanation of the wrists, arms, etc and how they all work! Thank you.
That's great .. your very welcome

Fantastic!
I’ve been watching your videos from the beginning and they just get better and better,but this one just tops it for me,I have now got solid foundations for my swing,thank you so much,,👊
Wow, thank you
Love it! All Ernest Jones from the 1920’s…Swing it back with hands, swing it forward with arms. (not forearms)
Thank you
Excellent visual lesson of the swing,I was an over the top bloke! Nice fix.
Thanks 👍
EXCELLENT WAY OF EXPLAINING IT. IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE
Thank you 😊
I think this is the best video youve done. For me anyways. Very explanatory.
Thank you very much 😊
Your explanation of how the right hand works is perfect & a game changer👍. That along with the feel of starting to release the club by your back leg.
Right on!
Just put a label on this package…it’s ready to go 👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome video
All cylinders should be firing after watching this one ⛳️
woohoo
Damn! It's dark here, otherwise I'd be going out somewhere right now to try this. Got an inkling of this feel today, so it's great to see it explained in detail. Thanks for posting!
Your very welcome
Well done.
Thank you😁
Spot on! Great lesson.
Glad you liked it!
Another excellent video
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Roger, greatly appreciated
Your welcome
One of the best explanation of the move that Ben Hogan was talking about .
Thank you !
Hey Roger, thanks for the video this really fixed my swing..hitting it longer and straight..but I have a slight issue with my driver..hit it long and straight but I’m pushing it a lot..any quick fix or video you might have..

Can do .. and thanks for the comment

That's awesome, glad I can help 😀
Best one yet, Roger. Amazing. This one makes it all seem so simple! Now if I can just apply it on the course. 😂 Great video though! 💯 💪
You can do it!.. thanks so much !
Thanks for clarifying . I was definitely flipping then with the left hand then .
Happy to help!

Butt of club pointing to target line all the time goes back to the great great PAUL RUNYON ..... my short game began with Paul ...yup
Awesome
Thank you for your videos. It absolutely makes sense to me. Where is Country Hills? I would like to take some lessons with you
In hendersonville tn
I look forward to it !

Your right hand looks like it not roll but turns back roll isnt word im thinking rotate maybe is this correct
I think you seeing that … watch the forearm
Genious
😁

BTW, Raymond was the same
Cool
@@rkswingking.....yup.....I FELT as if I FLICKED THE BALL.....wasn't especially long though....driver 285-295, 7 iron number was 174 as I recall, 8 iron number 160 .....I think I liked the rubber band ball better except for the old proV1 395 .....I hope people listen to you... you seem to give good info.....sadly, most people can't be helped because "they know more than any living soul"....yup
Do you keep a cupped left wrist at top of swing ?
A slight cup the same I start with at address
Reason being is ur knuckles face your chest in this hand is it therefore a rotation but im a backward motion in combination
I think your referring to forearm rotation which ultimately allows hand to move
@rkswingking okay so forearm rotation occurs even with the right hand motion which through the motion you describe the hand extends upwards not through hinging type motion it just flicks backward towards sky but does it actually rotate inwards towards you like the forearm rotation you describe
When the left forearm rotates on the other side of. The follow thru the right hand has to follow that
@rkswingking are you refering to the down swing stage of the swing with previous comment roger if so thanks , and yeah I was discussing the take away backswing part or trying to articulate , sorry have I confused you in way I'm talking 🙂😂
Apparently ledbetter damaged numerous pros natural swing
Well I wouldn't say that at all...
He is world class accomplished
And there is many ways to swing the club
Correction your knuckles more parallel to body
Not sure what u mean
So something thsts not rocket science is being explained by many instructors and equipment manufacturers as rocket science in the name of money instead of pleasure.
I could agree with that
I know you mean well. But, man, you are difficult to understand.
Will work on simplicity
@@rkswingking Outstanding! Thank you! Continue to watch your videos.
