    Since this is an older AMG video, maybe no one sees this comment, but this video is a gem for those of us working on stuck trail arms. I've watched the video multiple times over a long period. I am finally taking the time to work all these drills slowly and diligently and, oh my, I believe I am on the road to stuck trail arm recovery! And if you look up the Tiger/Butch/Peter video...notice that Butch said Tiger worked on his drill for over a year to start to get it right. So, be patient with yourself.

    Thanks for the video. My hips are super quick and I constantly get the club stuck behind. I will definitely try the belt buckle drill to see if I can get it figured out.

    This is exactly what started to wrong with my swing after finally getting into a single digit handicap. I was focusing so much on firing my hips my arms were getting stuck and I started flipping so much with my right arm my wrist began to hurt. I was hitting big hooks with occasional pushes when I did fire that right hand enough. This is a great video, thank you.

    First, you guys are the absolute best, thanks for putting so much time into these videos; they are priceless.
    This specific issue is very hard for me to overcome. Tried several drills, but at full speed the problem remains. I'm right-handed playing left-handed (like at hockey and baseball, etc.) and other than at slow speed, my left elbow just won't externally rotate and pass in front of me. I fire the hips and flip, just like that video of Tiger and Butch (had seen that gem). What seems to help more than other things is a thought Padraig mentioned in a UA-cam video to "drive your back hip UNDER the front hip". Seems to help my hip thrust, but my left elbow, being my weak hand, I'm not sure will ever point down around impact like the pros.

    I have a tendency to come out of my spine angle (early extend) because my hips fire too early and I get trapped in the downswing. Those last two drills will probably make a world of difference to me and get me down to low single digits.

I come back inside on purpose because it makes me hit further and better contact. Problem is my hips are fast and furious. So going to try that tiger drill and see if it gets my hooks straightened out.

    This is gold !!! Another way to think about is I try to think about where I want my club to exit.... for right hand golfer, I'd like to exit low left to get shaft lean and lots of compression of the ball. If I want to exit low left, I ask myself where do I want to be in space in my backswing that allows me to freely and efficiently swing to this low left exit position without manipulation and fastest and easiest direct path. This is very similar to your concept of start from your finish position and you will never have a bad back swing.
    I was stuck and knew I had to hit the golf ball from the inside so I would drop my right shoulder hit lots of blocks, hooks and high shots because I could not compress and get shaft lean. This video is amazing

I'm a "sad 7" handicap that has a battle w/ stuck going back 40 years. I'm just starting to exercise the muscles w/ these tips, but mentally I feel renewed and hopeful to retrain mind/muscle memory to avoid that oh-so-bloody "right to right" shot off the tee and the reflexive line of "crap, provisional". thx for this one Boyz!

  • @laynemiles7959
    @laynemiles7959 4 роки тому +1

    I really enjoy watching your videos fellas! I was wondering if you could do one on the upper body lunging down fron the top of the backswing? I struggle keeping my height which leads me either popping up and flipping or digging ditches!

    • @AthleticMotionGolf
      @AthleticMotionGolf  4 роки тому +1

      We can, Layne, but something to help in the mean time... when that happens, we typically see the cause coming from having the lead arm moving too far across the chest in the backswing. When that happens, there's a very natural response to get the change of direction started with a lurch from the upper body.

  • @jbv2081
    @jbv2081 2 роки тому

    Awesome video. On the Tiger drill, I guess it’s normal to “feel” handsy and that the hands/arms feel like they initiate the downswing rather than the legs?

  • @bjohnson515
    @bjohnson515 4 роки тому

    Louis Oosthuizen mentioned in an article that he felt the arms fall and the body follow.
    Regarding the fast hips, and the hips moving away from the club and hands...
    Is not the issue sometimes the left hip does not rotate back with a left leg drive, thus the hips just slide or run away from hands and arms?
    That lead leg then just posts up on the left side, left hip never turns , and the club just stalls....
    In the Tiger drill, is not the same thing achieved by syncing the hands with the right thigh into impact?
    Great video, always good content..Thanks

  • @stephenthomson7842
    @stephenthomson7842 4 роки тому +1

    How do you get open at impact without going hard with the hips on the downswing? Hit it far enough but lack consistent good contact. I tend to slide at impact rather than turn and don't know why. Backswing is good and trackman numbers are good on good shots.

  • @MrSoccer2324
    @MrSoccer2324 3 роки тому

    I was little confused by this video, specifically the section about the shoulder joint and fake turn if you will. In the pro v am left arm across the chest video you guys posted (forgive me I forgot the title) you mentioned the pro used about 18 degree of movement while the am used about 43 degrees of left arm across the chest. For someone who is less flexible, do we want to incorporate the shoulder turn used in the video above but also flex the right should back a tad to decrease the left arm angle across the chest? Hope this is understandable. thanks!

  • @ReSourceEnergetics
    @ReSourceEnergetics Рік тому

    To gain motion quickly and have it last longer, do the mobility exercise toward the good side. Example, if you turn great to the left and are tight on the right, do several turns to the left (end range) then recheck the right. 90% chance your other motion will have improved significantly and it will last 10x longer than stretching to the tight side. Try it. It will change your flexibility. Alan

      If you have a drill that helps, but you aren't seeing the changes at full speed out on the course, then that typically means you haven't done the drill enough. Hours isn't enough to change a motor pattern like that. It takes a tour player at least 6 months to make a change like that to have it become doable out in competition.

      @@stepyourgameupplaya9360 That's not our favorite type of training aid, one that does the motion for you. You find those a lot in golf and they have a poor track record with success because the golfer isn't the one doing the motion. If the band was pulling the club into a steep position, then the golfer would be the one having to do the shallowing - we much prefer those types of devices that force the golfer to do the correct motions. Martin has some great products, and we haven't actually used this one yet but those are our thoughts on training aids in general.

    So, I'm sure you've heard this before. Sometimes, when I'm struggling with my swing, I'll get to the top of the back swing, and somewhere in transition I'll get "lost." Suddenly it feels like I have nothing to create speed with. I'll finish with a very awkward feeling. I know what a good swing feels like, and this is not it. The ball will fly short and hooky. It's like it feels like there's nothing to resist against. 4 hcp. Any clues?

    • @primuslim
      @primuslim 4 роки тому

      sabr686 just a guess, but it could be when you are doing your backswing , your shift or lean your hips (and buttocks) towards the target (as shown what not to do in this video at 10:39). When you do you can’t create power anymore as your hips are already extended and all you can do is move your arms and not body, so you will get and feel no power and because you’re arms do all the work your ball will likely hook and fall short.
      Just a guess as to why you’re feeling that way.
