How can I get a lesson with Dr. Kwon? I went from hooks to blocks off the tee and feel like my game is too dependent on timing my hands instead of using my body. My index is down to a 5 but some days I play like an 18 handicap when things are out of sync
That dude is not a pga golf teacher. But a scientist teaching a continuous swing flow. Dr. Kwon is amazing but does not replace a pga teacher. But having millo and Dr. Kwon like they are doing in south Florida for an intensive wekk end!!!!!!! Wow that would be amazing 😍
The biggest qualification for a pga instructor is spending 2 years handing out tickets for range balls. There is also a test but I like to think he's beyond the basics of that test.
I am a 58 year old. I am a new member of the PLDA senior division. I am competitive with with the bottom half of the senior division I think I could do a lot more if I had a little help. How can I get ahold of doctor Know for a session?
I feel like 20:00-20:14 is gold but I wish someone could further break down what Dr. Kwon is saying not to do and what he's advocating to do. Can anyone help?
Interesting video. We do not often see duck hooks. As Dr Kwon says, James swing is arm driven, particularly left arm. This can result in a very high left shoulder at impact which, with high spine tilt and hitting up at the ball on a high tee, can result in a low backspin, toe strike causing the duck hook. The left shoulder effectively pulls the club head slightly away from the ball = toe strike. Bending the left arm (chicken wing) at impact can have the same result, it pulls the sweet spot away from the ball. Dr Kwon illustrates the high left shoulder and spine tilt at 20.03. James fault can be seen by freezing just after impact at 3.21 where the massive deflection of the club head can be seen after the toe strike. With old, small-headed drivers this swing could almost miss the ball altogether.
@@oldprogolf7292 ….. you understand absolutely nothing about the golf swing. The height left shoulder pulling the club in therefore he gets a toe hit. Complete idiocy.
@@oldprogolf7292 ….Please explain to me how, as you say: “low backspin” has ANYTHING to do with producing a duck hook? Because it most certainly DOES NOT!

One of the better constructive comments I've seen. Im a +2 but have these exact characteristics. Unfortunately, during the middle of my tournament season I've been dealing with similar misses. Low-spin dive-bombs. I am also very left arm driven, and have tendency to have excessive lateral bend etc etc you get it. I was wanting to ask you if you potentially had a simple way of explaining how to reverse some of these poor habits? Input would be appreciated. I love my coach but I'm searching and it's like we can't pinpoint the root cause. My FEELS resonate a lot with what you were explaining here
@@iiZAPPx thank you for your kind comment. I am a retired PGA club pro in UK. I pass the time debunking the myths perpetuated by UA-cam pros, usually I get abuse😅. Without seeing your swing, the simple answer is more loft. A lower tee may help. Playing the ball a bit further back may help. The longer term answer would be to get a looser release as Dr Kwon teaches. Maybe reduce your side bend so you don't hit up on the ball so much. You may be bending your lead arm incorrectly on the follow through. If I understand your swing correctly, you would not be able to play an old fashioned persimmon driver; you would not get it airborne. The modern drivers promote this problem, easy to get up so less loft, hit up on the ball for distance, easier to hit hard. Look after your spine. If you want more help, I need to see your swing on video. No charge, just a hobby for me now.
@Old Pro Golf Can I send an email with video attatched? I enjoy watching Kwons stuff. I rarely take YT content and apply it to myself it's primarily for my enjoyment and to learn new ways to communicate to people. I also didn't feel much of this material applies to me although I'm sure there's a few tidbits of stuff that can only help. Loved your response and the loft comment was something I adjusted with my coach. I've played a 9° forever and typically get fit every 3-4 seasons. It's been a very sudden and rapid decline in driving performance and I'm a bit panicking due to tournaments coming up 😅
Dr. Kwons method was explained in Golf Digest and Golf magazine over and over in the late 1970s,1980s and early 1990s. It was called the figure 8 of the hips/keep your back to the target in transition ect. Nothing new here.
There's nothing new about individual golf motions but force plates have allowed us to see what should be happening to initiate the correct movements. Pushing, and slight lateral movement of the pelvis and not what a lot of people have done which is lean your trunk one way or the other.
I know when I get case of snap hooks usually my left hand gets too strong. My ball position gets to far back. Usually fix both of those and life is good again. Also sometimes equipment is a bad fit as well and can promote face closure. Just not sure the step drill is end all-be all.
OMG, look at 2:52 frame by frame and watch the torque on that shaft. That's either a really crappy shaft or it's way too soft for him. Shaft is EVERYTHING! If your shaft doesn't match your swing speed the ball will almost never go straight. Also, Dr. Kwon is teaching my backward fall into the ball that I described in a video years ago.
@@canefan17 …The guy hooking his driver in this video, James, is consistently hooking because of his OBVIOUS RIGHT HAND GRIP POSITIONING. By Dr. Know trying to decider James’s problem with all kinds in upper and lower body positioning is utterly ridiculous. Dr Know is just another poser-there are literally scores of them currently on UA-cam. That you believed Dr Kwon was on the correct path to helping James tells me all I need to know about both you and Dr Kwon.
@@lookmil107 I didn’t see what Dr Kwon’s prescription was. Didn’t watch the entire video. Funny though, you call all these people posers, and yet you click on their videos - which supports their existence. I could care less if they are posers. I enjoy hearing different ideas from different people. Don’t always agree with em but that’s neither here nor there. One thing I can promise you is that I can out-drive your ass.
How can you show a video lesson on curing the snap hook without showing a video on him actually hitting golf shots after the lesson? I’m thinking nothing was actually cured. The problem with Dr. Keon’s approach is it’s incomplete. I love his step drills but it does nothing to helping people improve their release, for example.
I agree. Show us some shots after the lesson, so we can at least see some change/improvement. I bet a lot of his problem is grip too and might be why they didn't show any after shots.
Sometimes it's not an instant fix I guess. Just thinking that some hard work is required for a month or so to make it work. Is that a difficult concept for you to grasp ?
Ok so this shows Dr Kwon has some ok ideas on continuous motion and flow, but has no idea how to match club face to path. This player has a super strong trail hand grip and a really shut face because his wrist conditions don’t match his grip. I guarantee all this lesson did for him is add speed to his hooks. There are no after balls with shot tracer for a reason. Milo would have fixed his set up and wrist conditions first which would have freed him to move more athletically. His sequence is off because he’s fighting the face. Dr. Kwon gives the same lesson to everyone regardless of what ails them.
That's an interesting thought. I noticed Dr. Kwon spent a good deal of time on his backswing. Without an adequate backswing, the tendancy is to hook. Hmmm
Clubface and path will be automatic when you get the sequencing right. There’s a reason that Be Better Golf formed a relationship with Dr. Kwon. In baseball, we don’t pay attention to swing path, squaring up the bat etc, we practice with body movement, timing, sequencing etc., and this helps you become more athletic, and this is with a ball that moves 90mph towards you! In the same way, in golf if we pay attention to swing path and clubface and a thousand other tips, we lose our ability to be athletic and we’re always trying to fix those problems. The great golf teachers (Pete Cowan, Dr. Kwon, Marcus at Zen Golf), are teaching golf the right way.
@@MrHyatt-hx5sh that is definitely not true. He has the face dead shut and because of it has tons of tilt away from the target and negative chest rotation at contact. I have taken lessons from most of the big name teachers and Milo is way better than all the others at understanding cause and effect. If this student raises the handle at address and weakens his trail hand grip he will be able to produce more neutral path by eliminating the secondary access tilt he is using in an attempt to hold the face off.
I seriously doubt this fixed his snap hook, since he has a very closed club face BEFORE AND at impact with a right ward path. Grip/ club face adjustment and path might be a better way
James, I've been fixing swings for 20 years, well into the thousands of golfers now. Your "yip" is caused by an active right wrist (which you should keep) relative to your impact position. Try these three steps: 1. With a full wrist cock at the top of your backswing, literally pull your left arm under your left shoulder while your back is still to the target (similar but not exactly to Dr. Kwon's advice) as you feel a weight shift onto your front foot. The butt of the club will be traveling in to out. 2. Without any excessive body motion (just stay relaxed), try to "pull" your left arm all the way to the point where the club head arrives at the golf ball. Your left hand will be moving dramatically upward since the wrist cock remains somewhat in tact, but with soft wrists. 3. Now release the club comfortably, without forcing it. You will feel your hips rotating very quickly and your right hand "whipping". Give it a try. Good luck. Coach Blue Tee
Everybody's a damn expert these days... lmao... That is the most vague "fix" i've ever read and I didn't get past number 1. Keep your day job if you have one. Coach Blue Tee... LMAO
@@macdaddyblues1 I think he's saying the release is early. That is an option to get the hands more forward at impact so the face won't close too early. There are other instructors with similar ideas. Like Milo Lines for example. Take it easy.
James I felt sorry for you watching this video. I’m sure that within a minute or two you knew that the esteemed Dr Kwon wasn’t going to be able to help you one bit. Dr. Kwon is an idiot-there James, I said it for you. James, your problem is without a scintilla of doubt your right hand grip. Your left hand is perfect. Why? Because from the positioning of your left hand you are now able to be either a “swinger” or a “hitter.” This is where you’re at, stuck between being a dedicated swinger vs a dedicated hitter, and your right hand grip is resulting in amplifying the confusion. Obviously you need to essentially weaken your right hand grip, because if you don’t you are just going to continue to move through impact with a closed club face-resulting in the hook. What to do? Allow me to take a stab at this. You position your right hand as you do because from that position you feel as though you can pressure you left left hand better. In other words, your right hand has something to squeeze down against. Or, said another way, you are using your right hand thumb MUSCLE as a pad to pressure your left hand with. With this grip if simulate impact with the palm of your right hand squarely facing the target, then your club face will be closed-implying your hook. So how do you get your right hand grip more on top of the shaft (weaker) so that when you simulate impact with you right palm square (facing) the target your club face is now square to the target also. DO NOT (at first) attempt to adjust your grip at the “address” position-no! The initial reason for your out of position right hand grip is that at the top of your backswing (transition) you would otherwise have a sense of losing or loosening your right hand grip. Believe me, this having to essentially re-grip the club at transition is a far bigger problem to most golfers than they realize. Those that do attempt to “fix” this swing flaw virtually always retreat in defeated-but a few get lucky. Here’s the gold nugget. Practice taking your grip statically at the top of your backswing position. Immediately you should notice a distinct feeling of wanting to shorten your left thumb, and more than likely SUBSTANTIALLY. Continue to adjust your grip by rotating your right hand slightly more in the on top of shaft position (weakening). Continue to shorten that left thumb too. You may find that the NEW way in which your hands now fit together (still allows you to pressure your left hand with your right, and the hands will not unravel (loosen grip) at the top during an actual swing) feels more like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. In other words the right hand now encounters the left in such a way that the short left thumb becomes integral. Depending on your hands this grip discovery technique may result in you developing a grip where a good portion of your right hand is now somewhat off the grip. This is called a “cavity grip” and it’s the grip that I developed for myself using this technique. This new positioning of the right hand just might feel as though you just doubled your ability to apply your right hand. The next thing you’ll be telling people is you wish you had three right hands. You can essentially “test” this grip statically at address by slightly pushing down the shaft with your right hand, while at the same time pulling up the shaft with your left. James, your problem is CLEARLY THE POSITIONING OF YOUR RIGHT HAND GRIP. What Dr. Kwon was showing you is 100% complete and utter bullshit! Best of Luck-The swinger vs the hitter is where the rubber meets the road. Hogan was a 100% pure hitter, Fred Couples was 100% pure swinger.
Two cents: this player couldn’t commit, or understand, these changes. He was too focused on doing his swing while incorporating some thoughts Dr Kwon was providing. I don’t imagine he got any better after this lesson. Also, Dr Kwon knows what he’s doing, but he is having a difficult time translating this to the student. Possibly because the student isn’t committing to these ideas and is too stuck on his old swing. Either way I think this was a lost lesson for both sides even though the video may be helpful for people that can understand the changes that need to happen and can incorporate the drills.
Dr Kwon emphasies too much on positions....which is an impossible rabbit hole for remembering. You can propel the club in 4 bn ways according to Mr Kelly. Most and only unnegociable... how to compress the ball. And the "HOW" is everything....
The Doctor teaches high level golf moves that golfers 20+ handicap may find difficult to comprehend or execute. His drills do work. 👍
This is the greatest lesson I’ve seen, so many key points in the swing dr kwon pointed out that is missed by a lot of so called “professionals”
Would have liked to see tracer shots at the end.
Great info as usual. I think it would be helpful to put a mic on the guests so we can hear the coaching better
As always GREAT lesson- thank you!

Good stuff. Have this same problem. Been working on it the last month or so. Will incorporate the 3 steps.
Would have been better to show the ball flight *after* all the work done in this video. Assuming the lessons actually cured his snap hook?

What to do? Allow me to take a stab at this. You position your right hand as you do because from that position you feel as though you can pressure you left left hand better. In other words, your right hand has something to squeeze down against. Or, said another way, you are using your right hand thumb MUSCLE as a pad to pressure your left hand with. With this grip if simulate impact with the palm of your right hand squarely facing the target, then your club face will be closed-implying your hook.
So how do you get your right hand grip more on top of the shaft (weaker) so that when you simulate impact with you right palm square (facing) the target your club face is now square to the target also. DO NOT (at first) attempt to adjust your grip at the “address” position-no! The initial reason for your out of position right hand grip is that at the top of your backswing (transition) you would otherwise have a sense of losing or loosening your right hand grip. Believe me, this having to essentially re-grip the club at transition is a far bigger problem to most golfers than they realize. Those that do attempt to “fix” this swing flaw virtually always retreat in defeated-but a few get lucky. Here’s the gold nugget. Practice taking your grip statically at the top of your backswing position. Immediately you should notice a distinct feeling of wanting to shorten your left thumb, and more than likely SUBSTANTIALLY. Continue to adjust your grip by rotating your right hand slightly more in the on top of shaft position (weakening). Continue to shorten that left thumb too. You may find that the NEW way in which your hands now fit together (still allows you to pressure your left hand with your right, and the hands will not unravel (loosen grip) at the top during an actual swing) feels more like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. In other words the right hand now encounters the left in such a way that the short left thumb becomes integral. Depending on your hands this grip discovery technique may result in you developing a grip where a good portion of your right hand is now somewhat off the grip. This is called a “cavity grip” and it’s the grip that I developed for myself using this technique. This new positioning of the right hand just might feel as though you just doubled your ability to apply your right hand. The next thing you’ll be telling people is you wish you had three right hands.
You can essentially “test” this grip statically at address by slightly pushing down the shaft with your right hand, while at the same time pulling up the shaft with your left.
James, your problem is CLEARLY THE POSITIONING OF YOUR RIGHT HAND GRIP. What Dr. Kwon was showing you is 100% complete and utter bullshit!
Best of Luck-The swinger vs the hitter is where the rubber meets the road. Hogan was a 100% pure hitter, Fred Couples was 100% pure swinger.
Two cents: this player couldn’t commit, or understand, these changes. He was too focused on doing his swing while incorporating some thoughts Dr Kwon was providing. I don’t imagine he got any better after this lesson.
Also, Dr Kwon knows what he’s doing, but he is having a difficult time translating this to the student. Possibly because the student isn’t committing to these ideas and is too stuck on his old swing.
Either way I think this was a lost lesson for both sides even though the video may be helpful for people that can understand the changes that need to happen and can incorporate the drills.
Infomercial
Dr Kwon emphasies too much on positions....which is an impossible rabbit hole for remembering. You can propel the club in 4 bn ways according to Mr Kelly. Most and only unnegociable... how to compress the ball. And the "HOW" is everything....
Hey DR kwon what is your email?
