Вставка

- In this video, legendary teacher Mike Austin shows students at a golf teaching school how to make a full weight shift in order to increase clubhead speed and thus driving distance.
Mike's at his classic best here..."I pick up my knee and feel like I'm going to kick a midget in the balls!" Absolutely hysterical.

These teachings are so good. When I hit balls, the swing is best when my feet are about 12" apart. Noticed how Mike is harping on this fellow to get his feet closer together. Good stuff.
@Coolhand850 That's not true. Mike said the feet are under the hips just as they are when we walk
@Coolhand850 In recent video Steve Pratt says his heels are 12-13" apart. The wider the stance the more pivot necessary to post the leg vertical, and the harder to turn the back hip around the post.
There's a lot to learn here...I like it!
I think this is the best video to really see what the compound hip pivot should be like according to Austin.
I love this guy!bring it up !
Flashbacks to my football days. The coaches yelled at you but you got a lot better. I love his style of coaching because I know I would get better fast. What a great explanation of the lower body working too.
If he did not have a stoke, i bet he will kick his ass.
Yea , reminds me of my school days , in the Seventies ; only you would get a clip round the earhole, to sink it in !!!!
This fabulous stuff here.
Tried to get the free ebook, clicked on the below site like you said but it did not go there
That's the way to teach..
Been having issues with this lately… thx…
Steve, to allow for the club to swing up on the downswing, do we tee the ball higher? Thanks.
Yes! We need access to the dimples below the horizontal equator. If you sky the ball you'll know you're not hitting up!
Steve, I know Austin’s approach to the golf swing is quickly fading away, but other than yourself, how many other instructors teach his methods?
Steve at 00:42 Mike says pivoting outside hip ... I agree with this technique ... But would you agree that modern teaching would say this is "swaying" and that the weight transfer should be associated with the weight inside the right foot ... The mans swing does look great at the end ...
Yes, I agree with what you are saying about swaying. If the head moves, it would be a sway. The hip comes inside the foot once you make the backswing. It's so powerful with no stress on the spine. Colin Montgomery pivots like this.
@@dentfix Great point about head movement ...
Yes people call it a sway but I call the head motion a sway. Check out my video on stance width and my videos with Jerry.
@@Inmotion70 I like the series ... great format ... can't wait enough for part 3!!
I love the swing, just hard to do though
Aha! Now I see my missing part! He would have been yelling at me about all the same mistakes this student was making.
I sure wish I could find an instructor like Mike. Yes, it would have been a brutal lesson and embarrassment, however, at the end of the day you’d know that you’re doing it right.
Scotty Scheffler's swing would have drove Mike crazy.😂😂😂
It's Monty swing ! Not a bad reference !!
Love mike's methods don't like his teaching approach at all. i just take videos from his student Mike Dunaway as he explains things way better for my learning style. Ways I actually can put in my swing. Dunaway was ridiculously long for that time. Callaway big bertha and spinny balls and carried it 300+ with a casual golf swing. Insane. Can't imagine how far if he could hit a new Aerojet or Ping with a new balls!
So left hip basically moves hard towards the target
Kind of. Remember where the left hip is at the top....rotated down and around the posted right which means it's off the wall. First move down is to put it back on the wall then move hard towards the target...then as you finish your hip turn it retrogresses.
Steve Pratt Golf I upgraded on your site today so hopefully I’ll understand better after watching your lessons
@@kidpoker007 and just email me if you have any questions. Or send me a video from the dashboard.
Steve Pratt Golf thanks Steve
The guy in the blue shirt probably sold his clubs and moved to Canada when this lesson was over.
Made him better golfer
davidd1395...what's wrong with Canada? 😂
I'm watching this as I lie in bed trying to drift off to sleep. I'm certain I'll have nightmares now. Painful to watch. Did any of Austin's students lose it and smack him with a club?
Stack and tilt ?...
Not even close! :)
New swing thought 3. "Feel like I kick-a-midget-right-intha-balls!". Swing thought 4. "NO, NO, NO!! NOT THE DAMN KNEE LIKE THAT, YER NOT BOWLING!"😭
I've given that visual to a few students over the years.
Interested if you have perfected the kicking part?
The golfer needs more left knee flex at impact and straightening a split second after !!!!
I’ll bet a lot of his students quit.
I'm sure he scared off the potential customers at Studio City golf course...but when you're in Golf Digest's Top 10 teachers in America every year and you had a swing like he did, he always had a waiting list.
He can get a little heated but I took a baseball lesson from him and parked my first Homerun over center field with little or no effort. He also made sure I was aware of an open face. I got to go to lunch with mike and my Dad. He has some wild stories.
@@jimferrell9503 He told me once he could take a last place team to first place in one year teaching them how to hit....said they all looked like 'guppies' Please do share more about your Mike Austin experience!
@@Inmotion70 i went to his house one time and he had 13000 under his TV. He told me he had his boxing taken away from him because he knocked so many people out. He was a cool guy.
what did his longest drive go to.
