Was very happy to hear about how to throw the club early. With the nasty weather we've had now in the early part of Oct up here in Canada, it appears that our golf season may be over. However, I did get a change to swing in the back yard and attempted to implement this motion. I was very pleased to note the visible and audible increase in clubhead speed. I have been studying Mike Malaska's methods for some time and noted and liked his advocation of the club square to the arc. Incorporating the early throw was simple and fit right into what I was doing. I think my foot work and leg action has been relatively good as my lower spine is swinging under my chin. I'm very eager get this in action and may have to hit the indoor driving range! Thanks!
Well done. Informative and easy to understand. Very helpful for a golf dummy such as myself. Will try this out and see. I like that he said that even if not executed perfectly it will still help. My kind of guy. - honest.
My problem is in the backswing trial am fine. On the ball I tend to lose a bit the club behind ending up in a kind of reverse pivoting. Any exercise I can do to eliminate that? your videos are amazing
Hi I am a 59 year golfer I have been playing golf for 3 years now. In the last 6 weeks I have been I totally dedicated to yours and mike Austin methods and I have had to work hard to get out all the other stuff I have been trying to do by other coaches on line. I know this is the way forward for me as I have already seen better results using mike Austin’s methods. As I have to start all over again. I have noticed to get the results that I would like the main problem I’m going to have Is getting the flexibility that is needed to get a full shoulder turn and club parallel at the top of the swing. Is this something that everybody can do and if so have you any tips in achieving this. Thanks for what you are doing for the game of golf and passing on the late Mike Austin’s method. It blows everything else’s methods out the water.
Thanks again for the detailed explanations Steve. Can you explain in detail your feel or the detailed arms/hands mechanics of taking the club from 1st parallel in the backswing to the top of the swing? I have heard many different interpretations like take it to the top from 1st parallel like you would raise your arm naturally to throw a football. I have also heard Mike Austin say that he never raises his arms, they only raise by shoulder turn. Thanks again.
Terrific job with your videos. Regarding the backswing, I too wish to know a little more of what I should feel or do from the first parallel to the top position. I read what you answered another about lifting the right arm, or abducting the right arm about 90 degrees but I do not know what to look for or feel. You showed yourself in slo mo explaining the takeaway and first parallel, but then right to the top. I find it easy to get off plane from first parallel to the top. Not sure what wrists do if anything. Can you help?
Hi Steve, another beautiful and clear video. Please, if you would, explain the shut look of the club face at the top. Is this still "square to the arc"? Hard to believe/ understand.
@@Inmotion70got it. The way you hit it I'm not sure what would be gained by changing much. I feel like some of my best shots with the MA swing are with the club face where you have it. (More following Shauger than MA himself who seems to square the club face as the right elbow bends) Do you do video lessons? I'm in FL and may want to skype with you from the range if you think it would be useful.
Hi Steve.. just started playing golf 3months ago and stumbled across this channel via Mike Austin's channel.... out of curiosity which hand is the dominant one in the back swing?? Is it the right hand or left hand??? And which hand is dominant in the downswing?? Thanks
Hey steve can u explain how the right arm bends back like to throw a football ball in the backswing. Austin used an airplane model in one of his video's with dunway
Thanks Steve.... what a simple, repeatable, easy, powerful motion....I have picked up about 25-30 yards off the tee since watching your videos ( no exaggeration for those reading this ). It now feels like my entire body weight now being used in the strike. Lastly, I wasn’t sure if you had students that had their chin buried in their chest as I have pulled my “chin up” a bit and I get better overall balance/stability throughout the swing. Keep the videos coming!
I was also interested in the movement from first parallel to top of the backswing. I thought your answer to this question was not informative at all. Please provide more detail. For example, is it strictly continuing to turn the body or do we get more movement and arms and wrists as we move toward the top?
Sorry about that. From first parallel the lead arm will advance across the chest one more hour, the wrists will continue cocking, and the torso continues winding.
I can get there but immediately dip my head…which could be adnormormably large and heavy during the transition. Do you consciously try to maintain your original head position throughout and to your finish?
Great video as always! I am curious about if you agree with Bobby Jones when he said that the backswing is almost leisurely (skip to 4:45 to see this.)? I seem to do better if I feel that the weight of the club hinges the wrists. Do you agree? ua-cam.com/video/GXIo8jj3cl0/v-deo.html
Hi Steve. Still waiting for you to reply to my comment regarding Dr. Kwon using Mike Austin's pivot motion, and the drills he uses to get the correct flow for the movement. Is there any way I can contact you to talk by phone or via video chat?
STEVE, i.m 78 and I Started playing golf at age 63, I had many lessons no pro explain gol like you. Thanks from western australia
Cheers John!
always good information, always explained well. always good graphics. you are my favorite instructor, thanks Steve!
Cheers Tim!
Forward press - good coverage of topic.
Your videos are excellent! Easy to understand and apply. Thank you!

Let me know what happens on the indoor range Glenn!
@@Inmotion70 Will do!
I meant to add that I have found your videos very helpful. Very much appreciate the content.
Cheers Steve!

Go go Joe!
Great lesson,thanks. 8:23 pivot to move the club. 10:32 middle thigh then add,

Technically you have to raise your right arm off the the side, or abduct about 90 degrees.
Another brilliant Video.
Appreciate the videos.
Thanks
Cheers Ravi!
Super👍 I realised that I was cocking the wrist at the takeaway itself. Huge correction..thank you👍
It's not a big thing...I just prefer to let the big muscles get the wheel going.

Sounds like a good idea for a video...thanks!
Hi Steve, another beautiful and clear video. Please, if you would, explain the shut look of the club face at the top. Is this still "square to the arc"? Hard to believe/ understand.
A slightly 'closed' clubface at the top is more square to the arc. Mine is more closed than I want and I am working on it.

Thank be great and
What impact look like with the driver👍

Always a team effort.
Steve.. I came upon your channel and I like the things you teach.. Thus I have subscribed!.. Im just curious what driver you are using?
Thanks Ronald. In that video I'm using a 7.5 degree Geek DCT with a X flex House of Forged Jamie shaft.
Thank you for your help :)

Hi, very informative video but
I’m doing all the technical practice but at the end my ball sliced
Check out the slice fix video in the description. It's free!
I can get there but immediately dip my head…which could be adnormormably large and heavy during the transition. Do you consciously try to maintain your original head position throughout and to your finish?
Through impact yes, to the finish no.
Any Flexibilty drills to improve shoulder turn. I cant get my upper arm to get much past 45 degrees
Get a Power Coil Pro from my website.
WOW~~Nice backswing~~~
Brilliant
