Milo with another great video. Took one lesson with him a few months ago trying to get my game back and have gained back 2 clubs with my irons and 30-40 yards off the tee.
Great Video Milo. Took video lesson about 9 months ago and finally understand and implemented width in backswing and rotation, getting out of the way. 77 yes young shot 76 using wide right arm and rotation. 12 fairway, 11 greens, two birdies, 2 3-putts. Thanks for your help
Yeah but you're like a pro or something only four people on the earth have broken their age and now they're all enshrined in the golf hall of fame in Pinehurst, NC so welcome to the elite club I hope they contact you and invite you to play #2 amd celebrate with lots of hamburgers, hotdogs, Cole slaw, potato salad and barbecue you deserve this award. CONGRATULATIONS!! It's right up there with Brysons 58.
Thanks Milo this is exactly what I am doing with my chest turning into the lead arm but need to turn hips more and try and keep Ernie’s box in place for longer,many thanks will try today.
Terrific and very helpful! Hope you don’t mimd me saying but the position at 5.11 is I think the Impact Curtain position recommended by DST Compressor Bertie Cordle
Milo, would you please explain what. Cover the ball with chest means in the golf swing? I believe I have heard the concept expressed by Peter Costas when he was a commentator for CBS.
The hips stay back (lead hip moving back and around) so the chest can stay slightly more down and begin rotating open. Some like chest facing ball at impact, I prefer to see it more pointed towards target. Watch this video we recently did: ua-cam.com/video/PR5wRmCRrQ0/v-deo.html Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
I like your videos. Can you answer two things or bring out a video on this. First how and when does the right arm straighten. second, being a lefty but swinging all sports right. I have issues with the throwing analogies as I throw right, but swing clubs right. Thanks
For you, it may be better to focus on your lead hand if that's you dominant, kind of like Spieth. The trail arm should get close to extension a little after impact.
It's like hitting an outside pitch to right center field. Pull only hitters have an earlier quick swivel to get the fat part of the bat out in front of the plate for contact. A spray hitter who spots one out over the plate, micro-seconds the hands out in front of the bat with the meat trailing slightly for a liner over the second baseman's head. The golfswing straightens it out because of rotation. Played ball for 15 years. Who do I contact to make arrangements for a couple of half-days with Milo and arrangements for room and board? The Superstition Resort? I would be flying in fully vaccinated. ;)
Flinging a Frisbee,(you would always fling it further with your lead arm even tho its your left,)is a good drill .Even imagining flinging it! is good, probably be even better if it was heavier, maybe a dinner plate!
But what do you hit the ball with? That is where does the speed come from? Are the arms like limp noodles and we just try to sling them at or through the ball, or do we use the muscles in our shoulders or left or right arm or right hand to generate the speed????
Thanks for this great follow-up video, Milo. The flinging of the arms, or lack thereof, has been my primary focus for reaching the next level. So far I haven’t really felt a “fling” that assures me of swing optimization. Last night, however, after viewing this video I made several practice swings in my garage and focused on my lat which you pointed out as being fully loaded in the early downswing. At about P 5 1/2 I consciously flung the lat together with the upper oblique and immediately felt the fling in my arms. I also felt my loaded shoulder blade unload well after impact. Just wondering if the unloading I just described is the action you are referring to. Thanks so much. You are the best!
Ive played for years and have always pinned my right arm which has forced me to release early. I wish the video had gone on further. My right elbow is pinned and would really like to get it to move in front of my right hip. Anyway thanks for the video. I really like how you reference you baseball swing to golf, something I can relate to.
Hey Milo. I know you say the arms don't feel like they do much but maybe you could expand on that. Are they "dead" feeling and just along for the ride or just holding the structure, etc? Some feels you use or have had students use for example since everyone feels different things. The arms-along-for-the-ride feel doesn't feel very powerful or get a great result for me. I already fight getting a little stuck anyway so I already have to be careful letting the body do it all. Keep the content coming though.
It’s hard to nail down I teach feels based on the student in front of me and it’s all improvised. The only way I can help you with what you should feel is to see you swing.
My arms always look far behind me in transition and I also look like I early extend and throw loft at it even tho I feel like I make a good transition 😑
Guys, what about the former lessons where you spoke about “staying connected” in the golf swing? I’ve had success with that in the past and this seems to contradict that somewhat.
Exacfly!Exactly!! This doesn't cause confusion. Only covers all possible basis. The whole golf teaching industry thrives on contradictions and mus direction. This way you always gotta keep coming back. I know I know. It's a conspiracy.
Perhaps to prevent your arms getting stuck and to sling your arms and club thru and to have forward shaft lean at impact it would be thru your intent of what you are doing to the club. Instead of hitting the ball pushing the club head forward, you should have the intent of catching or collecting the ball and sling it forward in a way that it goes toward your target, kind of like a tennis back hand where your wrist is actually slight bent backward and you have the feeling of collecting the ball and slinging it forward?? This would seem to fit the way the golf club is designed where the clubhead is on the very end and angled so that in order to trap the ball you have to have forward shaft lean, as opposed to a baseball bat the sweet spot is not right on the end.
Great video Milo. I am thinking of a great golf related video I saw years ago, which even better than tennis or any other sport for that matter, the analogy is best with jai alai. Fling golf seems to be analogous too.
Understand what you saying. But recently watched Gary Player saying he just realized what Hogan was trying to tell him years ago and it was not to have that gap. Keep it connected.😢 maybe I’m missing something.
no one got their left arm further away from their chest, at impact, than hogan, when he was winning his majors; but but but, by the time he won his last event it was very notable how both his arms were connected to his chest at impact. that immediately has connonations of his modern fundamentals method; which, i agree, is not what we want- and not what hogan really did. when hogan was winning his majors his left wrist was in a supinated position at impact. and, this causes the left arm to disconnect from the body during the hitting area. so, how did he keep his left arm connected later on in his career? he abandoned supination. if you stand at address and press in with the joint of your left wrist real hard, you will find that your left arm will then press against your chest. and, if you swing thru from there you will, also, find that is real easy to follow thru.
@@MiloLinesGolf I only ask because it’s something I’ve struggled with and I thought by keeping my lead seen attached to my body and straight that it would alleviate my chicken wing.
@@johnnykilo4967 the bad variety of chicken wing is generally caused by poor body pivot and too much force being applied to the grip by the right hand.
@@johnnykilo4967 I took a couple of lessons from Martin Chuck where he put a hard plastic sleeve/tube contraption on my left arm to keep my left arm straight to stop me from chicken winging. Well intentioned, but useless, and painful. You arm isn't meant to be straight, it only looks like that in instruction because they are usually moving really slow. I believe that the reason for the chicken winging is that the chest stops rotating (or slows too much) and then there is no place for the arms to go except into the chicken wing. If you did what Milo is teaching here, but you don't maintain your rotating thru, then yes you will chicken wing. In essence what Milo seems to be saying is that your arms aren't stiff in a straight line at, or just after impact, but form that "home plate' configuration until momentum straightens them at waist high. If you think about it, this is because the arms and chest rotate at different speeds during the swing. My interpretation, since all your question got was a "no".

Do you use your muscles to throw a ball or swing an bat? It’s a difficult principle to describe, but to me it is a structured slinging feeling.

So long as the arms are moving off as a natural byproduct of a good pivot, yes. Thanks Marshall.

I feel as if I need to hold off shoulder rotation this to work.

A ball can help, but I'd have to see.
You explained my baseball swing exceptionally well. My golf swing is a UGLY and does not look fluid. More good info Milo.
Thanks for watching!

Also figuring out how to move/use your right side in a throwing action but also maintaining pressure on index knuckle see pages 28-31 of Hogans book

Ball gets in the way =).

At 5:12 he notes that the arms don't go down the line but around the body. That's an important distinction that's rarely mentioned.
Yes!

If the lead arm is bent upon impact, wouldn’t this be the same concept as the chicken wing?
No
