    I've been trying to figure this out for 20 years , not one of the 25 pros that I've had lessons from has explained it this well. I just got done hitting balls, not one Pull
    Thank you

    In all my years of watching instructional video's I have never seen anyone else explain the down swing in such an easy to understand way.

  • @Vulneravariable
    @Vulneravariable 8 місяців тому +4

    Wow, you are the first person to be able to demonstrate why I’m pulling my shots in such a way that it makes sense. I am definitely your number 2 example because that’s the feeling I’ve trained to purposefully. For weeks, I’ve tried to have my trunk pull my arms through. Thanks so much for this. I’ll incorporate this drill today because I’m tired of missing so far left.

  • @rollorescue1582
    @rollorescue1582 2 роки тому +3

    Very helpful and exactly an issue that is one of the last ones I really have to work through. It's very subtle, I only need to get my hand down about 2-3 inches and delay my hips a tiny bit to get into that position, but it's one of the more persistent challenges to try and fix. My swing has made a ton of progress lately, but this one is plaguing me just a bit :). I'll use this drill to see if I can get that last little hitch out of my swing.

  • @jeffgraham1813
    @jeffgraham1813 Рік тому

    This is me in a nutshell, both in pull tendency and my attempted approach to correct it (spearing the ball, and/or leaving the club at the top). This makes perfect sense and I can’t wait to try it. TY!

    Excellent description of the cause of the pull. Breaking the swing down as described has minimized my pulls. Thank you.

  • @nickyb3499
    @nickyb3499 Рік тому +2

    Great video and tip - I struggle with the pull and just seeing how isolating the hands at the top and thinking about the first move being down vs out is fantastic. Can definitely notice a difference now on the range and feel that I’m keeping the club face much more on plane to ball contact than before

  • @johnperratti4386
    @johnperratti4386 Рік тому +1

    I have this exact issue. I struggled with a slice all my life. I've recently started lessons with a PGA pro. He strengthened my grip and taught me to rotate to square the club face. 30 or so years ago, I was taught to shift weight to my rear leg, and then shift to the lead leg while turning around that lead leg, releasing the club by turning my wrists and forearms to square the club face. Ever since learning the modern swing, my miss has been a pull left that draws/hooks after starting dead left. I think this video in particular will help me cure that mistake and hit the ball straighter.

  • @omrilevia5754
    @omrilevia5754 2 роки тому +1

    Really interesting. I'm a lefty and I think I have a similar swing fault. With the longer clubs I get a lot of shots going out to my left. I feel like my lead arm pulls and I hack the face toward the ball instead of dropping down like demo'd in the video. Eager to try out and get a feel for this.

  • @AR-ke8wg
    @AR-ke8wg 5 місяців тому

    Love this channel, always great info in a clear manner, thank you. I do have this issue and find when I am more on plane or coming from inside, strike tends be more of an issue. More thins and some fats. As i believe low point moves back when coming from inside.... Therefore, good idea for video... how to maintain ball first strike when fixing OTT and trying to be more on plane or from inside. Effect on low point

  • @extrememetaldrummer1
    @extrememetaldrummer1 Рік тому

    Insightful video. I do this sometimes. Another thing that helps is keeping that right shoulder tucked in and swing like this. Removes the problem almost always

    This was an excellent instructional demonstration as it showed exactly the downward and forward movement of the club throughout the entire swing, as well as showed and explained the potential effects of the club’s face. Stopping and explaining each transition really helped me understand at which point my swing is less than ideal. This was helpful to me-thanks for sharing your knowledge.

    @davidbeard9931 8 місяців тому +1

    @ameliajade6113 10 місяців тому +2

    Great vid! I’ve seen this drill before but a big question is when you are pulling down from the top, what matchup is needed/shallowing technique so that the force pulling down on the grip doesn’t steepen the shaft to much and send the clubhead out over the top. Thank you so much in advance! Keep up the great content !

    Just to add to my previous comment. Today I worked on this move dropping the arms. I found for my irons it worked great but when I went to the driver it took some work to get the release timed properly So I think with driver it requires morpractice in timing the release. I found that releasing earlier in that downward move worked best. Thanks again…

    @edwarddurkin6635 10 місяців тому

    Great stuff. I was swinging well...last year...but starting the year with a consistent pull...even on half-swings! Thanks for the demo of the bad swings as I sense that my hands were too far from my body and, yes, I'm terrified of hitting well behind the ball. Rehearsing in three parts is giving me confidence. Now to the range!

    Terrific instruction on this swing concept. This describes exactly how my game was today. The drill seems spot on and I will take it to the range this week. It’s so frustrating to hit a great drive, have a short iron in and yank it to the left. Happened at least 3 times today. Thanks Kerry.

  • @matttinker2350
    @matttinker2350 Рік тому +1

    Great instructional vid. Thanks so much. This is exactly me. The thing that has helped me a lot recently is putting an alignment stick in the ground, on my right side, at an angle and making sure I swing under it on the way through. I always knew about this drill but never used it. I was amazed how much it changed my swing path instantly knowing I had to get under the stick on the DS. The first part of my DS feels so slow when I drop my hands. Swing path is now in to out. Ball fight is lower with a slight draw (except when I get too quick with my hands and smash into the alignment stick 🤦‍♂️).
    Thanks again for the great content.

  • @dzungvu4227
    @dzungvu4227 2 роки тому +3

    This is by far the best tip I need now. My understanding is by avoiding pulling left, this also improves ball contact with the clubface by making the swing arc more oval other than circular round, helps better covering the ball (as indicated in one of your other video clips) by moving the hands as low as can be in the downswing (as indicated in your other clip). Results are great: more distance and more accuracy. MUCH APPRECIATION from Saudi Arabia to you, Kerrod Gray.

    This is exactly my problem. I gave up golf for 20 years, and taking it back up, I'm hittting the ball well most of the time, but I seem to pull all my short irons left, and sometimes pull longer irons and fairway woods as well. This would explain it, as my arms are locked to the body, and pulled downward by my leg drive and weight shift. You have explained the solution perfectly, and I see exactly what you are doing. Now, can I replicate it without hitting the ball fat? We shall soon see. ;)

  • @MasterMotivatorsClub
    @MasterMotivatorsClub 9 місяців тому

    It's all caused by swinging across the lap. In both descriptions the hands are faster than the hips, they get out in front of the hips, and as the hip turn speeds up-late-causing a swing path to cut across the lap. Knowing this is the easy part. Stopping it is the hard part.

    @kessel12 10 місяців тому

    I think this would explain a miss I had the other day. I had about 115 yds in and my divot point straight at the flag, but my ball missed 15 yards left on the green. It wasn’t a hook or draw either. So I’m thinking I pulled the handle down too much and pulled it left.

    Good vid. Your “bad” shots are better than my best shots 😢

    I’m glad I stumbled on this video because you explain exactly what happens to me. So many shots going straight left! Thank you for showing what to do about it in such a clear way!

    Does the feeling of dropping your hands work with the driver too?
