Terrific video Coach. My ball striking and distance improved when someone described the golf swing as more of a SLING, not a swing. It just made so much sense. The lead leg is a brace but also a brake, in your example.
Single best piece of advice I've heard in all golf instruction ever. I spent my entire 40 years of golf life trying to apply an exercise in futility of applying an accelerating force into the ball and failing. This led to a massive effort in getting into taught possitions only making me get worse. This is the so called secret that explains how to swing.
Tried and tested at the Range this morning. Amazing! Hell of a lot more distance which Ive been struggling with for so long. Ive watched hundreds of these videos,for years and I can honestly say, Ive never heard anyone explain it like this.👍 Thanks Coach!
Applied this in my living room tonight and I can instantly tell the difference in swing speed generated. Can't wait to apply this at the range tomorrow. Simple and brilliant advice that should be one of the first things any good teacher imparts to their students.
I watch way too many golf videos. The most BRILLIANT explanation it’s how to use the GROUND to slow down to gain the whip effect👍 that’s a key way to explain the importance of ground forces. I want to control tempo but never can. I see why
Brilliant never had it explained so clearly definite lightbulb moment! Now get ready for the other UA-camrs to come up with their versions. Thanks Coach.
I had that thought process in my younger years, that probably why I was always complemented on my effortless smooth swing.. This 80 year old man would like to thank you for your tip..!!
My guy said a whole lot and a whole bunch of nothing at the same time. I’m sure he’s got a nice and consistent swing, but his teaching is somewhat vague. Kinda just addressing the obvious 🤷♂️
Great great video. I only miss teaching about the momentum, those microseconds when you feel the weight of the club reached the top and is demanding to go down again. Feeling this momentum is really really a game changer for speed, effortless swing, distance and coordination. Cheers
Awesome. Not a lot of coaches talk about this concept, probably because the pros all do it already. But an amateur does the exact opposite. He starts with the upper body not the lower body, comes over the top with the shoulders, his head moves toward the target instead of away from it, and he throws everything into impact instead of slowing the body down to release power into the clubhead. Thank you for sharing!
Love this drill! I see so many people trying to “hold lag” or get the hands to the ball before the club head. By that time, it’s too late and you’ve hit a push fade. People don’t realize that you need the club head to pass the hands into impact for the most speed to be delivered to the ball.
True to an extent but only with the driver. With most clubs if your club head is level with or past the hands you have early extension, which also loses you power for a number of reasons. Most clubs you want to be compressing the ball which means keeping hands ahead of the club head
@@joshfuchs5411 Agreed! Irons should have more compressed hits causing back spin and elevation for softer landing. While driver and to some extent longer clubs want less back spin and more carry and roll for stock shots. To me, more lag is not necessary unless you don't have much. It just happens. That is for the average golfer who will most likely have problems trying to control direction if they try to add/hold lag.
Using a towel made it so much easier to visualise. I think it’s the same action when throwing a Frisbee, getting the hand to stop to impart all the energy into the disc. Thanks.
I've been working hard on path and face control for the past few weeks and I've just come off the range thinking it was now time to start working on developing more club head speed. Can't believe how timely this video is .... thanks Lockey!!
Very useful image created with the focus on hand speed. I have recently been able to create that feel with my driver (at 61 years of age actually hitting it further and straighter now than 10 years ago) I am playing to 13 handicap driving, chipping, pitching incredibly well with a horribly inconsistent iron game (fat, thin with rare incredibly feeling pure shots)...for some reason I feel all those good feels with my driver, 3 wood, hybrids and long irons but I struggle replicating that swing feel with my 7 iron 8, 9, PW...etc..I think the shorter club makes my swing more mechanical and less dynamic...loosening my grip pressure is helping. Thanks for an excellent lesson...Will let you know my progress.
Good luck my friend, I'm in the opposite boat at the moment, 6 foot 200lbs 36 years old and always been long and straight off the tee, walk up to it, grip it and rip it. This year I really started working on my irons and getting good compression. Focus 60/40 weight to my front foot, then my only swing thought is keep my left arm straight as possible and about parallel, feel like I'm just trying to stretch my arm straight back from target line. You'll feel ur left side from ribs down get tight, doing that while thinking keep my right elbow tucked into my ribs. Keeping the 60/40 in my feet the whole time, when I feel my left side tighten up all I think unloading that motion and throwing my hands and butt end of the club straight to the ball. The body just falls in line and no thoughts after that and I'm getting consistent, almost feels like you didn't even hit the ball, irons strikes......and now after watching this video I've finally figured out why my drives have gone to crap haha my iron swing and all the work I've put in with it has caused my hands to be ahead of the driver causing my brand new push fade or massive slice
Great video! This makes perfect sense and haven’t heard it this way before. The missing piece was the last “slow” and using the ground for brakes. Love it. Went down to the sim and tried it right away and increased speed on 6i from 85 to 92 in literally 5 minutes. Mind blown.
Thanks! At one time I knew this stuff, but my intent has wavered and lost sight of these basics. I had immediate results by shifting my intent to the advice you presented in this video. The extra snap/speed certainly helped, but the lead leg push had the direct result of squaring the club face, improved compression and low point control. All that came free. Tks for bringing me back to a key and simple fundamental.
Brilliant! I have been seeking an explanation of swing tempo as mine just didn't feel effective, and this hits the nail on the head. Will be practicing this weekend. Thanks for the vid.
Very interesting to hear this. I teach something very similar in piano playing for what is supposedly just a drop on the keys. It's actually a slowing of the arm before contact to allow the *hand* to be thrown out (without the weight of the arm piling hard into contact). I use the same whipping example myself. I always wondered about this similar issue in golf (I used to play a little but was useless) in relation to flex. I used to think you should accelerate through contact. It seems common to teach that. However, it certainly makes most rational sense that if the hands were accelerating at contact, you'd be bending the club head backwards and actively causing more lag between hands and clubhead. I suspected slowing before contact might be better, but I think this is the first time I've heard someone teach the concept. I was literally searching for slow motion films that might confirm it, when I landed on this video. Any thoughts on other sports though? I'd imagine that cricketers and tennis players have to actively accelerate into and through contact. Presumably the difference in golf is just that the flex is so signficant that you really need to let the unbending provide that late acceleration. Would this be similar in any other sport? I'm unsure. I feel like cricket almost certainly needs active acceleration of the hands into contact (with the more rigid bat) whereas I'm slightly on the fence with tennis. Just maybe a tennis racket could have enough flex for the same concept to apply?
I know it wasn’t the point of the video but the hand speed at the top really really helped me and stopped me getting so wristy in the down swing! Consistently ten yards further today at the range!!
I do realize that as you rotate through your swing at the point of impact you do have to kind of slow your hands down to get the clubhead to come through and I guess that's called the release.. or snap of the towel moment?. I've noticed with my swing if I play the ball what feels like forward of my left foot versus the inside heel that I will get a much straighter and much longer. Chad... So I'm thinking the snap is occurring for me forward of my left foot. Would that be correct?
Makes sense. When the hit feels good, you feel the dip, you feel yourself in a correct position at impact, you feel the click and the ball come off the clubhead with sweet power, ease and accuracy, and to feel all that you you feel the pause, the moment, the brake. You feel you held something back, just a bit, to put yourself there, and you feel a bit behind it and in position. This video seems to identify why you get that feeling - when everything comes together like butter, and you know you've executed a swing you need to replicate and execute consistently. And you know it's in your bag - now just to coax it out, on the course.
Nice vid Coach 👌 When I'm feeling that I am lacking power, I have a similar feel, but for me, rather than hand speed and then trying to break, I try and feel I'm getting bend in the shaft, half way down. Naturally I think you have to apply the breaks to get the energy out. Thank you for validating my thoughts, I have never come across someone describing the action of generating power this way. Really good, practical advice for amateur golfers, in my opinion 👍
I learned this recently and have had to adjust my club selection by 2 or more (if I used an 5 iron I know use a 7) it feels so good. If only they went straight
I'm 71. For my hands, I'm trying to create more width. And I'm working on club head speed with SuperSpeed. I'm at 91-93, hitting 230 total yards, and an occasional 250 when I hit a sprinkler head! I know that strength is an important element, but I think technique is King. Your thoughts on variation in hand speed and the work of the lead leg are an important part of it. Not too many people talk about hand speed. Thanks for your work.
LOL… I never thought sibling squabbling would come in so useful for golf, but point taken Coach! It sounds counter-intuitive, but in terms of physics it makes a world of sense to get that energy out to the end of the club. We do the same thing with hammering nails, throwing things, chopping trees, etc… It’s like the good ole “Heave…ho…”. Of course…golf clubs are a little harder to control at times. Love this though!
Can't wait to try when I hit he range tomorrow. Never Ever heard this. Picked up golf when I retired 8 yrs ago. Hacker to start but slowly improving. Used to slice constanly when swinging hard, but this winter in FLA started swinging left across my body. Working to correct that. Not a long distance hitter. At 65 would like driver to carry 140/150 in the air and also develop the technique for a smooth fairway swing to get ball up in the air instead of linedrives. Thanks!
Thanks for that. I had a few days recently when I felt the sling effect and I got 25 yards longer with 7 iron. Then it went off again. However seeing your point about pushing off the front leg makes we realise that's what I don't do.! I'm pretty sure I've been pushing off my back leg and probably why I don't turn thru very easily... Cheers
Interesting - i had a lesson recently where this approach was encouraged and this clip has helped explain some of the theory. Will take a while to embed though, i think.
Never seen a video like this before and I ve watched quite a few ! Been working on my rhythm and slowing my swing down and this has put a lot of things in perspective. It’s not all slow. Thankyou, Will work on this on the range. Just want consistent rhythm otherwise it’s great strike , poor strike.
Wow... you knocked that "concept" out of the park for me, or should I say... All of my siblings are cowering in the corner restricted by a new flurry of towel whipping mania... seriously, I still haven't got the top of the swing and the club head transition synchronized with the left knee and foot pressing into the earth... since that's going to require more brain cells than I currently have... I'm going to have to watch more videos... thanks again. top shelf stuff!
My handicap has stuck, so I need something to get my driver to carry an extra 20. Although if I could chip........ Interesting video Coach , will give it a go at the range !
Very nice explanation of a concept not easy to explain. When considering the “Mcilroy drill”, how should we think about lag… that is supposed to be desirable? Thanks.
Physically the last "slowing down" is gaining more speed by creating more momentum as a result of shifting you turning point. Your example / comparison to a whip / towel is great.
Game changing👌👌. Tried this out last night, worked so well with irons/hybrid. Ended up hitting some wild blocks with my driver though, Any idea why that might be?
Hi Lockey, i completely agree with you and understand the principle, you stated your club head speed was only 120mph, yet you hit a driver 270+ yards (250m + in metric) I am 55, club head speed of 200klm (120mph) and 210m carry, So my question is, does money make your ball go further, Brand new clubs and balls etc, if you were to use a set of clubs that were made 10 + years ago, and a golf ball made 10 + years ago, would you still be able to have the control and distance you have now? Just a thought as it is sometimes very frustrating to think you will achieve these things, but never will as it is price prohibitive? Love the channel, cheers Paul
Funny how you can think of these things differently. I think of a strong left side that I'm hitting against, sorta like there's a wall there, and unloading the hips first. Great video.
Well discovered. A similar principle as the cracking of a rawhide whip where the handle travels slowly then stops and reverses direction...the tip then breaks the sound barrier. Research the principle of angular momentum.
As a general rule most golfers need to take it back faster, all golfers arent the same though, if taking it back slow still means you can accelerate and decelerate by the time you reach the top of your backswing its all good.
Terrific video Coach. My ball striking and distance improved when someone described the golf swing as more of a SLING, not a swing. It just made so much sense. The lead leg is a brace but also a brake, in your example.

If you're that well versed in golf YT and its proclivities it's a bit weird you don't know Harrington did a vid on this moons ago.
Best explanation I’ve seen of what using the ground to generate club head speed really means and it’s mechanics
You explained it better than anyone else so far - thanks!
I’ve just practiced this swing with a driver on a sibling instead of a towel. It works every time!
😂😂

slow down ur golf swing by starting fast, then slow down, then speed up, then slow down .... got it !
Good swing thoughts lol
Sorry can you repeat that
The video is 8 minutes 38 seconds long. It would make more sense to you if you watched more than a minute and twenty seconds.
Isn’t that what Barkley used to do? 😂

Paddy harrington always talks about this... but you made sense of it for me.
Glad to help 👍
Ditto, I’ve heard a lot of coaches talk about this but never truly “got” it until I saw this chap
It’s mainly because Paddy is hard to understand because of his thick accent. Love him though
This was, by far, the best explanation I've ever seen. The swing is a leading whip with the lead side...not from the trail side. Excellent!!

Game changing👌👌. Tried this out last night, worked so well with irons/hybrid. Ended up hitting some wild blocks with my driver though, Any idea why that might be?
Hi Lockey, i completely agree with you and understand the principle, you stated your club head speed was only 120mph, yet you hit a driver 270+ yards (250m + in metric) I am 55, club head speed of 200klm (120mph) and 210m carry, So my question is, does money make your ball go further, Brand new clubs and balls etc, if you were to use a set of clubs that were made 10 + years ago, and a golf ball made 10 + years ago, would you still be able to have the control and distance you have now? Just a thought as it is sometimes very frustrating to think you will achieve these things, but never will as it is price prohibitive? Love the channel, cheers Paul
Funny how you can think of these things differently. I think of a strong left side that I'm hitting against, sorta like there's a wall there, and unloading the hips first.
Great video.
Good stuff!
Great way to think of it is "The Hammer Throw" in track and field.
Well discovered. A similar principle as the cracking of a rawhide whip where the handle travels slowly then stops and reverses direction...the tip then breaks the sound barrier. Research the principle of angular momentum.
I found this out and boom my golf swing transformed. Slow take away and slow delivery. More accuracy and distance. Throw the club!
He literally says don't do a slow take away....
As a general rule most golfers need to take it back faster, all golfers arent the same though, if taking it back slow still means you can accelerate and decelerate by the time you reach the top of your backswing its all good.
