Most people have been told that the golf swing is side arm or underhanded motion. Anyone who tries to do this fails because golf is actually an overhand motion. If the hands are at shoulder height or above we're using an overhanded motion. When we imagine swinging the club above our shoulders we think of the right arm under the club and therefore the arm must rotate clockwise (if the right arm were straight out forward,) but, when we perceive the right arm being above the club the right arm must rotate counterclockwise! Therefore, we have to imagine or perceive we’re under the club or swinging it above our shoulders which is the OVERHAND MOTION! Although the right arm is above the club at impact it’s under the shaft or swing plane until just before that point and therefore we need to get the clubhead moving in the proper direction so that it continues when the right arm gets on top.

I'm fairly sure this has just blown my mind into a mental shift that I've been trying to wrap my head around since I started playing about a year ago. Can't say for sure until I get out on the range but this seems like the missing link in my head right now.
Your videos are the BEST! YOU totally fixed my swing, I never understood the physics of the club till I found your channel. Now I get it.
You forgot to call me a genius. 😃
Ive been golfing and playing tennis for decades.
My golf swing was very similar to yours but you helped me tweek
it a bit so Ive added yards and my draw is a bit stronger but
certainly acceptable.
Tennis wise, for fun, I tried hitting my forehand
topspin shot with the "overhand" technique by simply
bending over more.
Ill be damed but it works great! Tons of power and spin!
One can also hit backspin and drop shots by varying your posture
and grip. Also very flat hard shots are much easier.
Having your hand over your shoulder feels strong and
natural.
I love it. Henry- Paradise Ca.
That's great! Tennis and baseball players, when the truly figure out how to use the golf club properly can kill it. There's a kid around here in So. Cal who's a tennis pro and he hits the golf ball ~390 yards. I haven't seen him myself but friends have played with him and said it's absolutely incredible.

Your swing finally makes sense! I've been trying to do the Holy Grail with the club head below my right shoulder when it should have been on the same level as my head. And also now that clockwise, backward rotation with the right forearm
coming down from the top of the backswing makes sense also! WOW!!!
You must absolutely swing the club versus hitting at the ball. The holy grail definitely explains the correct way the club needs to travel to get to proper impact and how your body functions to make it happen but you can do all he recommends and still be attempting to hit at the ball versus swinging the club which will produce the same inconsistent results. He has another video about swinging through the ball versus hitting which I recommend watching over and over and over.
I think I need to make another video about attempting to prove me wrong. I've discovered that if the player wants the HG swing to work they tend to try to help it or make it work, whereas if they try to make it fail, or prove me wrong, they do it correctly and the results are fantastic.
Outstanding explanation. Just Outstanding. Wish ever amateur
could see this demonstration.
This is without a doubt the simplest way to learn a golf swing. No mechanics. Just a natural baseball swing….tilted….how ingenious.
Thank you
BTW what is your name?
Greg. If you like this video you'll like many of my others.
could you do a video with a 7 iron and explain any differences
Yeah, I need to make one. You're not the first to ask, although the only thing that changes is angle of intention.
This guy has some serious deep knowledge and understanding of the golf swing.
Overhand vs underhand is misunderstood. I am a men’s fastpitch softball player. I’m 50 years old and still can throw it 75mph and was over 80mph when I was younger. Well, you’ll say ‘overhand pitchers throw 90+’
I threw a BASEBALL underhand 84 mph when I was 43yrs old. Probably would have been well over 90 had I tried it when I was in my 20’s. Big difference between a baseball and softball. Also, overhand guys are clocked using a mound, which helps. Overhand is also used by people from an early age and when they try underhand they do it wrong. My 17yr old and 19yr old were taught underhand by me when they were 5 or 6 and both now throw 75-80mph, with a softball. If you understand the physics of each throw; underhand has an advantage in certain trajectories. A SS should always throw underhand in certain throws if he knew how. In golf, it can be used as well. I underhand the club and can still hit driver well over 300. The problem is no one understand the motion when applied to a golf. And when I try to explain it, it’s makes no sense because of what is engrained in people’s minds. Oh well...
That's super interesting. I'd love to hear what you have to say and how you do it. Fire me an email, if you wouldn't 'mind explaining. OverhandGolf@usa.com
My channel is all about using thing we already know how to do and make it work for golf.
@Frozendivots I am also super interested an underhand golf swing. I would love to hear/see your explanation. I have been trying to learn that concept for the last year or two.
As a longtime slowpitch softball player, who has only been playing golf for a year, I am completely following you. Some of the best shortstops I have played with have an amazing amount of throwing power and pinpoint accuracy when they field a ball and throw underhand. For example, when a guy takes a couple steps to his left to field a slow rolling grounder in perfect position with his glove hand down and his throwing hand just outside the glove, the ball goes into his glove and then to his throwing hand, and from this position, he turns his body toward first base while making a hard and accurate underhand throw. Shortstops like that are fun to play with, such skilled athletes. I can definitely see your point on how this would apply in golf.
Well done. This is how athletes break down the golf swing. Providing context to a complicated action helps simplify what is going on physically.
What is the ball position and does it change for driver?
Nothing out of the ordinary. Ball positions are all normal.
I couldnt put my finger on what matt wolfs swing reminded me of but its a tennis serve like you said!! This overhand concept is blowing my mind lol
That means you get it! You're probably asking yourself why hasn't anyone ever said this before ... I asked the same question which is why I made the videos. Traditional golf instruction sucks!
Good thought, sideways instead of down. I like that, thanks!
Brilliant the way you explain the concept.
excellent explanation, great tutorial !!
So would the saying “ on the backswing keep the club head outside the hands “ why not say for the downswing too ?
Ahhhhh, finally a golf video instruction I can relate to.
Started watching this...but immediately wondered how can the shaft and the head NOT be on the same (angled) plane ,as they form a straight line? Really puzzled by this statement. Sometimes imho your explanations and demos would benefit by being done more slowly.
If you swing a weight on a rope at a moderate speed the weight swings on one flat orbit but the rope moves on a conical. Only at maximum speed do the two move on the same plane. The clubhead and shaft do not need to move on the same plane. The shaft is like an inverted conical and the clubhead moves on a somewhat flat plane.
please explain the shaft moves on a conical
Does’it mean that at impact the club head is above shoulder plane? (whatever the club)?
Yes, on about the shoulder plane.
Curious why do you put hand towel on grip? Great vids
So it doesn't fly out of my hands. Old grips that sit on the side of the house.
This is really interesting, and i appreciate the heck out of where you're coming from, but I really think it's ultimately not an overhand motion but an underhand motion from the top. Some say softball, ok, for much of the way down yes, but for me it's ultimately exactly line a big old *uppercut* haymaker and (this is vital) is delivered just like that punch with your *head back* and ends with your *chest high*. The problem i have with saying it's overhand is that that motion ends with your torso in flexion yknow?? Which is always completely detrimental to hitting a golf ball well. Just my 2c but again love where you're coming from!
In reality it doesn't matter if it's overhand or something else. The golf swing is the golf swing but thinking of it as overhanded gets people to stop trying to swing the club from above it, like it's some sort of giant croquet motion. The reason I say overhand is that the golf club becomes an extension of your right forearm and like I said in the video, if you're hand is above your shoulder it's overhand - and when you factor in the club's length the clubhead is way above the shoulders. Take a look at DJ, Joaquín Niemann or Ryan Fox and you'll see the overhand swing.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf hear-hear, admittedly I'm not familiar with the avg hacker's instinct to feel like they're swinging from below but it sounds like what you're saying is that is the general instinct and your very creative overhand mindset would seemingly cure that plague. Would it be fair to say that more generally speaking you are ultimately a very dominant trail (right) arm proponent? In the downswing that is. That's really what it boils down to for me. And there seems to be major division within the golf community on this subject. To me this is vital and produces the overhand mindset. I say haymaker bc I love the way that motion pins your elbow, keeps your head back, and chest proud following impact...gonna go check out those names you mention...
@@djpoints I would say the golf swing is right arm dominant but the left side plays a big part too. Both provide some power but I think most of the power comes from the right hand. It's one of our strongest and most coordinated body parts so to say it's not playing a big role would be silly in my opinion. I believe the right hand creates the initial speed and then passes it off to the left side which delivers it to the ball. I would say the right side quits just before impact so there's a handoff in a way.
I think the old style traditional American golf swing was left arm dominant which made it very smooth and elegant looking but never produced tremendous distance like the modern swing.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf interesting, and totally agree for that matter, including the source of that old timey elegance that has always inspired me. At one point I was convinced it must just be the old knickers, but I put on a pair and they really didn't help 🤷♂️
That JuJu swing is something else. Have you tried it yet?
Why do you keep a towel in your left or right hand when you are swinging the club just asking for a friend lol
I'm not wearing a glove and the grip is old on the club so I put hose mending tape on it a long time ago and the towel grips the tape really well and I can swing it hard and fast without wearing out my hands. Also, my hands tend to sweat a bit and if you've ever had a club fly out of your hands ... especially in a parking lot, it's terrifying! Give it a try when you're just swinging for fun or practice but make sure the towel grips the club well.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf ok thanks for all you do for us duffers
Top! The spine tilt has to stay the same place. Looking under.
what exactly do you mean by "overhand motion" ?
If the video didn't explain it, neither will a sentence.
MY TIP... remember swinging a bat ? Ball's on the way, you throw the barrel out there, leading elbow stiff, extend, follow thru, head still...feels like everything we want to do with a club.
WHERE DO I PURCHASE THAT IRON THAT IS PRE BENT AND A WIRE FACE...YES!
No one ever look in the description of the video. It's in there. Oh wait, it's not in this one ... It should be. Matzie Men's Assist Swing Trainer amzn.to/3maJKuJ The women's version is just as good. It's a lot lighter but still works well, maybe better.
Thank you.
When we look a pro mid-downswing from the side , the shaft is almost at the same plane than at the adress. Is that happening naturaly?
Best regards
I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you talking about when the club is inverted with the clubhead above the handle?
@@HolyGrailOfGolf when we look at a pro from the side during downswing, when the saft seems to be perpendicular to the spine, the shaft is on the initial adress angle (sergio Garcia, Cam Champ...) . It does not look like overhand but quite flat. (I apologize for my poor english)
To simplify, they look like they swing well under the plane without the spine to much tilted backward.
@@AD-tv5lj You're right, it does look that way and if you do what I describe you'll look the same way. Although, it feels like its a big tilt to the right, once you turn it's just a regular pro-style golf swing.
I think what you're describing is why everyone believes the golf swing is a sidearm action and not overhand. It all has to do with the tilt of the shoulders and not so much the angle of the spine. The best players actually hit the ball with the club at an acute angle to the spine (smaller than perpendicular.) I made a video about that a long time ago. They're actually leaning more forward at impact than they were at address. So essentially they're swinging upward in relation to their torso.
What’s going on with the hand towel?
It's easier than using a glove for practice swings in the back yard. The clubs I swing out there sit outside so the grips are old. This one has hose mending tape on it and the towel provides a comfortable grip that doesn't hurt my hands and I know the club isn't going to fly out of my hands. If I swing barehanded it have to grip the club so tightly that not only is that a bad habit but it also hurts my hands. So, I just wrap this little microfiber towel around the grip and it works great.
Over the years.. I’ve taken lessons many time and got crap results. But you’ve opened my eyes 😳 to what is really going on .
This video and the white pole on the shoulders made the penny drop. And for that, I’d like to donate £40 please. What’s your PayPal mate😄
www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=D9KLSZE47S8AY Thank you!
I tell people we swing around our neck.
Hands around neck, club balance point, or club head around neck?
How did I miss this video
Interesting you mention the juju swing. I just found his page and that is one weird looking swing. I had to go out to the back and hit some into the net and I am certainly impressed with the results. Not sure I want my golf buddies to poke fun at me. I am sensitive and I may cry if they do. Not really. I once hit it into the back of the ladies tee marker on a par 5 hitting a driver so I don't embarrass easily. To be fair, my buddies (and I use that term loosely) tried to pull down by Kilt while I was hitting driver. The kilt is another story entirely. Great video.
Its amazing how quickly you might start laughing at them from 40 yards further down the fairway :-)
@@TheJujuSwing I did go to your channel & tried the method thanks to Mr. Overhand Golf. Takes a bit getting used to but I focused on keeping my right(trail) elbow more parallel to the ground aka flying right elbow while not letting the shaft drop so extreme forward at the start of the backswing. Your daughter & some students are very successful by applying that concept of course. I had mentioned the flying right elbow to Overhand Golf in a previous reply to this video. I also added links to baseball's Albert Pujols' swinging a bat & Jack Nicklaus swinging a club illustrating the flying right elbow. I commend you & Overhand Golf for your yeoman's work. 😁👍⛳
@@alexkalafjr.4880 thanks for checking it out. Its definitely not something people learn on their own as a half and half version of our swing ends up sort of...terrible..hahaha...please email me at thejujuswing@gmail.com if youd like to fully learn with me👍
Well this Moran after almost 40 years of golf, has finally found a cure for over the top!!
That's Mr. Moron, thank you. I didn't spend 3 years in sixth grade to be called Moran. :)
@@HolyGrailOfGolf well one of my favorite lines is “ya need to dummy that down a little bit so I can understand!” Job well done sir!! Keep up the great work, look forward to next video (hopefully you can dummy down for me how to cure the yips)
@@Tuckercashthecorgi I think the only cure for the yips is either alcohol or learning to not care. After all, there's only two things that can happen with a put, it either goes in or it doesn't. I actually try to just barely miss the hole on the high side.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf it’s the craziest thing I’ve ever delt with in the game. I’m a 5 handicap now and it’s all because of putting and chipping. When your a once a week warrior and have to depend on a perfect day of ball striking to shoot even or better it’s tough. Sadly what has started to work is actually putting with my eyes closed and looking at the hole...
So I’m putting a serious commitment this off season to use my putt out mat and not stop each day till I make 100 putts.
Thanks for the reply and have a great thanksgiving holiday!!
@@Tuckercashthecorgi I need to make a video about this so thanks for reminding me. The best putting tip, imo, is learning to hit the ball where you think you're hitting it. Huh? Yeah, so many people aren't actually hitting the ball where they think they are. Take two or three balls and like billiards just walk up and crash or carom one ball into another quickly and hard enough so they they bounce 4 or 5 feet apart each time. At first you'll find it quite hard but after 5 minutes or so you'll be able to hit a ball 12 feet or more away easily. This is training your eyes and hands to hit the ball where you're looking. I have told people to do this and they think it's easy and then they can't hit the ball 4 feet away, because they're not hitting the ball where they think they are. It's kinda like basketball, we need to throw enough baskets in practice so that we just know what we need to do without thinking about it. Aaron Baddaley used to say it was like tossing a ball. No one ever thinks about how hard or what direction when tossing a ball to a friend, but if we didn't practice that as a kid, we would have to think about it.
That drill can be done in the house or on the green. It's about direction and nothing else so speed doesn't matter. Sometimes, I get the ball out at 15 feet or so before I miss one. If you get direction where you don't have to think about it, then the only thing you need to think about is speed.
Check out the smoking golfer on his take of the overhand throw in the golf swing. He compares it to throwing a skipping rock across a body of water. Actually I explained it a lot more elegant than what he actually says. It is basically what Scott is saying here. He even comments on how his right hand grip on the rock is very much the same as he would grip a club. Worth the watch. It is very funny. The video is called-- discover the true simplicity of the golf swing
Ever checked out the bio mechanical profiling stuff of E.A. Tischler and Mike Adams? Some people might well be more "under", and some more side on and yet others more on top (as they come down)...they say it depends on your personal body mechanics...ie what works best for you
Yes, I'm familiar with them and you're right although, we have to learn how the club works before we can figure out how it works best for us and almost everyone is using it improperly.
This might be the G0AT video for GOLF instruction
Thank you! To me this should be common knowledge but unfortunately it isn't.
I notice that when you swing your spine angle doesn’t change. Thus, if I am correct, maintaining spine angle will cause a golfer to hit overhand shots, yes?
I think it's more the other way around. Because I think of the golf swing as overhanded I can stay in my spine angle. When people "think" of the golf swing as underhand or sidearm that causes them to stand up.
Ok, I will go along with that.
Where's the dog?
Mine or the annoying barking dog?
@@HolyGrailOfGolf i'm sure that the annoying one is now buried under a tons of golf balls! :D
I'm truly starting to think this has more to do with a person's physical makeup. I think the skeletal structure and muscle preferences really come into play here! I say this because the best swing that I've found for myself and I've tried probably at least 50 different types of swings I feel like at this point over 10 years of actually studying and trying to understand some of these mechanics. For me my best swing is I go back with my hands following on an arc going upward and then when I come down I get my hands as low as possible and then release like crazy upward almost like feeling starting a lawn mower as hard as I can! Now for context I am a left-handed dominated person who plays right handed. So I think my actual strength lies in using the mechanics that way. I've tried many other ways and none of them get the swing speed or the compression nothing's even close. So when you're saying this overhand concept it might have more to do with the physiology than just everyone should swing over-handed. In my current theoretical approach overhanded would be for somebody whose arms sit much higher at setup. For example if my hands are all the way down to my knees when I set up I don't see a way I could be swinging over-handed without sticking the club in the ground with like a nine iron. Yet if your hands much higher say at your belt line or somewhere in there then yes you can go down after the ball in an overhanded swinging fashion. I guess my point is I think it depends on the person's frame and where they're long and short saying the legs torso arms I think ultimately you're trying to get a pretty natural arm swing and a natural hip hinge. I think once a person finds that then they got to figure out a pattern that works for them whether it's over under under over or right on plane. I truly think it's a lot more individual than what the golf industry teaches
Interesting point. I hadn’t thought about the lefty who plays right handed. As far as skeletal structure goes I have to disagree because players like Ryan Fox’s build compared to Juaquin Neimann and they both swing overhand.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf yes but if you look at players that are super tall they get under the plane and come up. A lot of long drive people do this I'm noticing. So a great example right now would be Adrian Moronk who plays on the liv golf tour. He is 6'6" and swings a driver that's 45 inches long. What I believe he does is goes back drops the club in a slot Under start swinging low and then goes up as hard as he can. It would be more of an underhanded throw or an extreme sidearm. The only reason I got into a lot of this was because I think my mechanics don't fit the club fittings I'm trying to get. So the easiest way I can illustrate it to think of it making sense is a baseball pitcher the traditional way or a baseball pitcher who throws sidearm or a softball pitcher who pitches underhand!I think they're all very different mechanics with very different releases in different motions. The baseball pitcher would be coming downward what should be much easier to throw a sinker or something dropping, then the sidearm pitcher would be on plane so they're going more around their more than likely could typically have a really good curve or slider) then the softball pitcher it's much easier to throw a rise ball if you've ever played fastpitch softball. But my point is that the mechanics of all three of them would be very different and the way they're using their arms and their hands are very different in the muscles so that's what I'm talking about with skeletal frames! Some people have very long legs and short arms other people have very long arms and short legs some people have long torsos etc. Which to me is going to create different motions you can't all swing exactly the same especially when you're bent from the hips. The club is going to need to go at different angles and if it goes at a different angle the body is going to need to move differently and the equipment is going to be completely different. Like I said I think this is just theoretical but I believe some people swing from the top down some people swing around and some people swing under the up. Mike Adams research has confirmed it for the most part but I can't get definitive information for how that would affect equipment or how the body moves differently. Mike Adams research talks about someone swinging over someone swinging on and then someone swinging under and how the releases would be very different once a covering type of release once a cornering release and the other is a launching release. There's no way with all the different frames everyone should swing the exact same way.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf also just for some context what's my mechanics. The only reason I'm getting into this field is because in my downswing I feel like my hands can get exceptionally low like it feels comfortable that way and then when I get into impact I can rise up and sink the club up and everything and compress the ball perfectly and that's the only way to swing makes sense to me right now. I can swing the other way where it's more just kind of staying on plane but I can only generate so much speed that way because I don't leverage everything that way for some reason like it's fine it's decent speed but it doesn't feel like my potential. Also when I swing that way the other way the traditional way not my actual swing I need a club that is much lighter in the swing weight the longer I go in shaft length of the club. However the shorter I go how much heavier swing weight ! So good example going back to Adrian Moronk I'm guessing that his driver has a very heavy swing weight because it's so short. Yet if you can trust that with Bryson dechambeau his driver's like a B9 swing weight or something ridiculously light so the head feels super light. In other words if you're going for a dramatic whip dim the swing weight needs to be light because you're going for speed but if the club is very short and you're going under and up you need a heavy swing weight because you need the mass even if it's comparable speed. So that would be more like swinging a hammer and the other one would be more like swinging a flail. I think the issue with instruction and the industry in general is that it's teaching people that it only works one way and I honestly don't think that's real anymore. Just a little more insight into the research Johnny Miller when he won several tournaments in 1973 was using a 43 1/2 inch driver and he is 6'2". He also had to add a bunch of weight so the swing weight was D9 and to me he look like he would swing under them up. Definitely not an overhead throw. And oddly enough he fits a lot of the criteria that I think of with the shorter legs longer torso longer arms etcetera. But his swing looks like he would go back over the plane and the downswing he could get under the plane and then he launch up( like fastpitch softball)
@@HolyGrailOfGolf just remembered Johnny Miller is also left-handed and played right.
Also Sergio Garcia is another example or model that I think of for myself because he's left-handed but swings right. He refers to it like he's pulling a chain etc. His example is of the opposite. His clubs are normal length or maybe even a little longer but his swing weight is a C9 which is considerably light.
@@jacobr4558 No wonder Johnny's swing tips never made sense to me. I think Jordan Speith is also a lefty. I didn't know Sergio was lefty. I have a script for a video about that whole "pulling the chain" thing. It's not what people imagine. I want to do a whole series of (myth) Swing-buster stuff.
I love your "subjective" thoughts! Great. And it's short…
Damn, I finally git it!
It ended abruptly. I feel there are more to be said and a closure is needed. It left me hanging. 🤔
What about softball
Very good point. Do you know anyone who can throw a 100 mph pitch with a softball throw? Can't you throw much faster overhand than underhand? If you want to do something in the simplest most efficient way, that's overhand.
I don’t get how to do it with a golf club...hard for me to learn from videos.
Someone please buy this guy a glove! 😆
For backyard swinging the towel works better. No kidding.
Two people like steering the club head into the ball.
Two?
@@HolyGrailOfGolf well your video has four dislikes now. It was two at the time. Lol. While I have you here... can you do a video on the kinetic chain (your thoughts on timing starting from the top) incorporating the holy grail. It’s definitely working for me but I find I feel a little like I’m camping on my trail foot now. (Not getting to the left side). I’m thinking this is a result of dumping energy at that 7:15 spot. It’s getting so a large bucket driver session is causing mild turf toe on my trail big toe. Is this normal? Thoughts? Thanks!
@@sigchiry Not normal. You should be getting to your left side easily. Like I said in a recent video, when our intention is to swing in one direction our body doesn't stop once it gets there, it continues well past the intended spot and we dump the energy half way for maximum power. Send me a video of your swing to OverhandGolf@usa.com
@@HolyGrailOfGolf on the way. Thank you, sir.
Overhand dude, iI noticed Lee C chimed in on a comment.
Have you seen him hit a golf ball? You should if not.
Oh sure. Lee is a ball striker for sure. He and I agree on a lot of things. I think he's actually used my theories to teach his children. I know he said he changed his methods when teaching his kids but I'm not sure it was my ideas or not, but maybe. Smart man but very hard to understand.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf That's fantastic. And yes, he's impossible to understand but wonderful to watch striking.
Underhand! lol gonna have to change up your whole shit when you figure it out 😂
Albert Pujols' elbow position in the link waiting to hit the ball is parallel to the ground. Once the elbow attains this position at the end of the golf backswing the transition to the through swing initiates. This is key I find for power & accuracy when applying this principle. You have made baseball swing references in some of your videos. I watched your sideways throwing motion with your right arm in this video which confirms this to me. I added a video of Jack Nicklaus' swing too illustrating this. Keep up the good work😁👍

I don’t get it
What's not to get? I'm serious about that question. I need to understand what people don't understand so I can better explain things in future videos.
Maybe a slo mo video of the swing contacting the ball. To see if you are leaning as much as when you were dry swinging
the original juju wolfie swing.... look up Irish Jimmy Bruen
👏👍
Hmmmmm...
Well, this is great news for me...I can serve anywhere from 100 - 120 mph...I should start being able to maul the ball in golf!
Absolutely! A friend of mine called me recently and said he played with a guy who was driving the ball 380+! He asked if he was a golf pro and the guy said, "No. I'm a tennis instructor. I don't really play golf much." Tennis players, once they get it, are usually really good golfers.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf Do you have any drills to ingrain this feeling?...I'm a bit of a freak in that I can change my serve technique or learn a new serve (like the American Twist) within 3 or so tennis balls...I'm certain that if I felt it once, I would be able to master it pretty quickly...I went from shoulder problems and pain and a 105 serve to my 115 average serve once I learned how to kick my left hip out...
Softball pitchers would make great golfers since the swing is underhand.
This is 24 handicap stuff
For the 24 index player or will make you a 24 index? There are players that are literally 1 indexes that have told me they went out and shot the lowest rounds of their life after watching my videos.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf we all know that shooting low rounds are all about getting up and down and making puts. Oh weekend golfers say the darnest things🤣😂🤣😂🤣.
Before I go silent, I wish you would explain the laws your working with and how they apply to the golf swing. You could start with the law of the flail, then maybe the venturi affect and the coefficient of restitution. Dumb them down so us idiots can understand them. It's obvious you don't teach the golfing machine. Your holy grail is called club head lag and has been around since at least the sixties.
I'm familiar with this game. It's called "stump the teacher." I'm going to play. Watch the videos, like them or don't. Thousands of people love them and they've helped their game immensely. I'm sure you're well versed on THE GOLFING MACHINE much more than I am and I'm not going to claim that I know more than you. I simply explain things in a simple way that people can understand and use.
Are you using your right hand/arm to throw the club head at the ball?
Both really but my right is my stronger hand. It's just a natural motion. If you were literally going to throw a club you'd do it with both hands, rights? Same swing. Also, it's not so much the clubhead we're swinging it's the shaft, just like in baseball. We swing the shaft at the target line.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf thanks
Did you ever explore Mike Austin, talks about literally slapping your left hand at ball which I did for a while and works really well
@@HolyGrailOfGolf when I have actually got unhappy with a crap shot I can generally throw it further with one hand, my right since I am right handed. I get more speed and that ^%$#@*&^ing &*&^y club goes wayyyy out there. Usually is always straight down the middle too and I know it does that just to piss me off!
@@bobbys4327 That's funny you should say that. I'm working on a video about the idea that the ball or club doesn't like you and refuses to do what you want.
Like skipping a rock
Yes, except that so many people believe when the skip a rock they're throwing it sidearm when in fact they're throwing overhand with the shoulders vertically.
So i am confused. Use the holy grail of hitting the imaginary ball or throw it overhand with a tilt down the fairway? The imaginary ball was clean but this is messing me up
@@anthonystavros740 They're the same thing. This was just to explain why the channel is called Overhand Golf. When you use the Holy Grail you are swinging overhand. Sorry to confuse you. I had a feeling people might have this problem. I may take this down if too many others feel the same way. Keep your thoughts simple and as long as things are working don't add any thoughts to it.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf Speaking just for me, I look at the Holy Grail as the Central Truth. Videos like this just further explain, enhance, and clarify. Sometimes it takes a different explanation of the same concept to turn on the light.
I noticed the towel on the grip... do you recommend wearing 2 gloves?
The towel is just so the old club that I swing outside that has a worn out grip doesn't fly out of my hands. I recommend a good grip and a single good glove.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf thanks
