Im a high School golfer and this video completely fixed my golf swing. I am getting that elbow perfectly out in front now and went from shooting low 80s to low 70s in 3 months. My golf team has a legitimate chance at winning state next year because of this, we will have 3 guys shooting around 75 and 1 shooting 67-68. Thank you so much for making this video!
That's terrific! Good luck to all!
"If your watching UA-cam instructional videos, it probably means you are a bit of a geek when it comes to swing aficionado"... Yes, I watch your videos daily... the best I've seen grounded to the physics of the human body movement. Thank you
Great anti shank lesson as well.
Absolutely love the analogies in this video. This will really help my game. Great stuff, Steve!
Wow! I have been guilty of trying to tuck my elbow on the downswing instead of spinning the pizza box. I can't wait to see how that improves my swing and distance. You have great videos Steve.
Thanks I can see that "hogan" angle to impact is important.
Best lesson yet! I think all of these “faults” you have described are a big part of my troubles!
Great job of explaining how to properly get the elbow in position. So many videos just describe where it should be. Wish I could give it 10 thumbs up.
Thanks Todd!
I have been working on stack and tilt - i love the way you describe getting the elbow in front on the downswing.
Yeah ready good stuff here. Anti early extension, anti flip feels for solid compression. Excellent lesson
I found the needle in the haystack. I’ve been wondering why I keep shanking. I tried so many tips, but nothing worked. I thought it was my vision....lol. Thanks to your butt on the chair drill, I finally fixed it! Thanks man. Gonna subscribe for sure.
Excellent instruction, Sir!
William
WOW!! is right. The tips totally worked for me. Thank you so much. Will continue to implement these tips into my swing. Hit some effortless irons and regained my normal iron distances. Back to low handicap golf!!
Very helpful and enlightening Steve! Thanks a lot. Regards. Ian
great video! I know on videos I watched they always talk about getting it elbow into the side of your body which makes My body outrace the club and I get stuck You explained the action better then anyone I watched ,thank you
My coach had been trying to get my elbow in front it felt weird and unnatural I noticed shanks and slices, watched your vid here and bingo light bulb moment…went out to the garage with the skipping a stone intention and everything just felt so natural and powerful foot work was natural! Thanks Steve!
I've been struggling with getting stuck on the downswing (early extension as well) resulting in some hosel rockets. These tips are just practical and easy to visualize. Thank you, greatly appreciated!!
What a fascinating game ...watching your videos I am constantly being shown something I never even thought about.....thank you for your effort and time in trying to make golf more fun for more people.
Cheers Kent!
Hey Steve, great comparison and explanation to skipping-a-rock...
Wow makes sense!
Thank you for the insight!
This is a wonderful video! So clear. Thank you!
Wow, that’s what I need, thanks.
Tkx for the great tips.
thank you great information
maestro proper! thx for sharing!
Great helpful video 🤟🏽
More great tips!!
Great tip thanks 👍🏻
@steve Pratt golf I'm late to the party on this one ... Brilliant ... And gives more reason and motivation to stick that but out on the tush line during transition ... Thanks for sharing ...
Most enlightening.... thanks
Excellent content. Also, that's arguably the best practice range in America.
Great break down. 👍
Great video!
Great Info🤙🏽
Just came across your UA-cam sight. Can’t wait to try it.
At the beginning of the down swing, do you transfer your weight to lead or left leg first?
Love the vids! About how far away and how high do you place the head cover that you want to miss? Thanks! Keep the great videos coming.
Steve, I don't need a hundred videos to correct my golf swing. All I need is this one and I've been trying to do this very thing of keeping that right elbow tucked in the best i can. When i do it my drives go longer and straighter by far.
30 years in golf the best tip ever ..by far
Cool!
stanley tanzini agree.
Agree!
Awesome
What you said at the start is me to a tee! 😊
Steve -- I am always amazed that the motions that I was really great as a kid ie. throwing out a runner at 1st after a backhand grab with a smoking sidearm throw was never needing an explanation ! Why is it that Golf is so freaking hard and that nothing seems natural --- reminding me of the late great Robin Williams skit on Golf who describes the frustrations in his hilarious skit beautifully. Great instructional video -- thank you
Good tip. Decided to subscribe 👍
Thanks very much for this lesson. My ball flight is still very high with a PW so possibly I may still be striking it with a flipping action. I'm trying to get my hands 6 inches ahead of the ball before contact but it still goes vertical too much ( I think ). Your insight and videos have really helped me a lot.
brill Steve
This explains it really well... thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Beat video I've seen on this, and Ive watched alot!
I started with small pitch shots and worked my way up to full shots and it worked great! The sound at impact reflected the squarer strike than I was getting before! Nice height and straighter to target! Thanks!
Nice work!
Nice job Steve !
Cheers John! Thanks for watching.
I've been "humping" the ball forever...this drill is really helping to keep my butt back and out of the way to create a better path for my arms and hands. Thanks!
I put this action together with your right wrist move to the course and parred the first six holes in a row off an 18 h'cap. Hit all my shots much better. My driver was straighter and longer, my fairway shots were much easier and consistent. I did have one airy with a seven wood but considering I had no driving range practice at all and just took it to the course, it was amazing. Came runner -up in Stab comp with 39 points. Best effort in 12 mnths. Looking forward to the future. Thanks Steve. Peter Mason
Great job Peter!
👍gr8 lesson tips.😲🤣i am gonna try them 🙏🏌️♂️😷
Great advice thanks, will be trying this. 👍
Did it work?
@@Inmotion70 Needs more practice, but yes has made a difference. Struggling to consistently push the chair back, but continuing to practice the drill. 👍
Love your explanation!!! So simple! Thank you!
Excellent video buddy!
Glad you enjoyed it
I was getting too much of an inside out motion swing tendency and getting handle high hitting some hosel rockets so I was working on something like this side arm throwing motion a while back and saw good results. I had to also think about getting the path exiting left. It was helping contact but I felt like I was pulling too many shots left so messed with enough that I’m sort of back where I started.
Have had back issues so sometimes getting deep to right hip and back yo left hip gets tough.
How far out in front is that club hanging from bag when working the path?
I solved the golf swing.
Great advice. Not pulling the elbow consciously, but let it come like in skipping a rock.
This is exactly what I’ve been struggling with this summer. I’ve been hitting hosel shots and push rights. So I started to flip the club...which I cannot stand. I lost 30% in distance and started having terrible accuracy. I’m going to see what happens after working this drill this week. Thank you for the great video!
Just tried it in my backyard. I’m back in the slot again! My right elbow was stuck behind my hip...a month of agony fixed! Thanks again 😊
You are the best teacher in the world. I hope one day I can shake your hand.
Well I don't know about all that, but I will happily shake your hand if you ever come visiting over the pond.
Know this is old video (but) worked on this today and really crisped up my irons, but my drive stayed a little all over the place. Gonna keep working this because my irons felt so good. Driver can' be far behind, just something else I have out of sorts I'm sure.
I have recently found keeping my ( right ) trail arm close at take-away really helps me , but how do I know exactly when it's ok to let my elbow drift a little further away from my body at the top of my back swing , otherwise I find my swing can become too inside to out, causing a hook.......thanks
Great tip! I’ve been trying to super glue my right shoulder through my swing but what you say makes sense, I’ve probably impeded my swing somewhat. Some I hit well, some not, it’s frustrating. I’m going to try this tomorrow. Thank you sir
Come back and update us!
Steve Pratt Golf I will sir, going in the AM, thank you
@@riffRaff9093 Well? its been 5 months. where is the update?
@@stevenahm3044 my game is getting better been working on a lot lately. I was over100 all the time and lately about 95. It’s a real process
Love this video, however, since it was all about getting the right elbow over the pocket, the face on view would have been really helpful to visualize how each of the drill accomplished the task. The only way I can play decent golf, which is about scratch from white tees, is to pretty much ensure my right elbow is not necessarily pinned but is not too far from my right side and I get a good side arm motion through the ball. IF I “feel” like get any width with my right elbow away from my right side I get into all sorts of issues. So, I can see your width, what I can’t see from this video, is where your elbow gets in front of the pocket. Love your videos and your teachings, just struggling a little with gaining a little power with the right arm. If I could pick up a little more power, my roughly scratch from whites would translate to roughly scratch to the blues. Thanks!
Really appreciate your inclusion of slow motion swing. I have heard the skipping rock analogy, but being no expert in that either i could use some help. Afaik, one would hold the flat rock with the right index finger along the rock's edge (spine) facing the target and palm would thus be similar. Release would be wrist flicks into flexion without rotation/pronation(?). Transpose this to a club and I m lost. Where is the spine (which location on the shaft)? Do we still throw to the water or throw as if the water is our swing plane? Thanks
Oooh great questions and hard to answer because they are feel questions. I feel like I will keep the spine facing through the flick to hit a cut, and just a bit of pronation to go straight.
I notice on your follow thru the club reappears very low below your left shoulder. Shouldn’t the club exit more inline with shoulder?
hi Steve one word brilliant explanation. You see so many coaches on line saying to tuck in the right elbow . Now we all know how to do it correctly.
Just off the beat and track Steve. We all know the importance of leaning the swing and i know your channel is more about hitting the ball further down the fairway but
not only that, how many times, unless we are hitting off the T Box we are on a flat lie ? 5 percent ? Is it possible for you to show us the best way of striking the golf ball
off different lies and slopes.
Thanks
Hey Marcus...interesting idea.
Finally somebody teaching the g@$d$(; golf swing!!!! Thank you!!!
hi Steve, did you hit a fade ? Do you exit left more if you hit fade? For me I feel like my hand exit straight if I hit straight and exit to the right if I hit draw. Thanks for the video.
Actually exiting left will give you a better chance of hitting a controllable draw because the club face squares up easier without being flipped over.
@@Inmotion70 Thanks Steve!
I must give this a try. The day after playing 18 holes I get a terrible pain on the inside of my trail arm just below the elbow.
Golfing for 44 years and I finally have a golf swing
Steve,
I think your videos and style are excellent.
Any chance of adding some short game videos?
Your videos with the “Chair” are really helpful.
It seems that the “Glutes” are a Major Power & Accuracy.- Correct?
More insight into the “Why” of the above would help me.
Please keep up the Great Work!!!
Thanks Mike! Short game will be coming in the future - possibly on my member's area first.
Yes the glutes are the biggest muscles in the body and control the pelvis which gives us ground forces and rotation assistance.
got a queation, when i do the pizza box part, my club face is wide open ? how can i fix this ?
Love the golf ball collector driving around with American Flag
Yes American flags everywhere - especially on Memorial Day!
@@Inmotion70 Buddy do you have anyone in the NY/ NJ area ??
@@patc8329 Just in Connecticut.
I waffle between committing to Austin's approach and Moe Norman. The take away is always the part that I have the most problem with. How to get the club to the top in the right position. With Austin it seems the swing isn't necessarily rotational, whereas with Moe Norman I think it is. Hip action is key with Austin, if you watch Moe his lead hip stays high and never dips in his swing. I think both of them hit up so to speak. Someday I'll figure this all out.
Just keep in mind Moe hit is very straight...Mike hit it long AND straight.
That's quite a driving range. Where is this?
Creating space by pushing your butt BACK in the downswing is a turbocharger! Discovered it a year ago and the results are proof that it is one of the main ingredients of natural power!
I struggle with right hand domination wrecking my downswing. What helps is if my downswing move incorporates my left arm guiding the right elbow to the correct position in front of the pocket. At that point I’m in the hitting zone and the right arm can fire.
I let both hands dominate through impact. The right hand has good actions, and evil actions that get you in trouble - the key is only making the good ones.
Do you ever combine the pizza spin with the meatballs in the ear?
To say 'Brilliant' maybe a bit cliche and quite frankly overused! But, when that is, what it is! All one can say, and must say is, 'Brilliant'. Liked and subscribed! Pizza Spinner!!
Good one, I am guilty of the jamming elbow...
Same.
Would like to see that drill from face on to pick up on the set up
Great idea. Sorry I didn't think of that.
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Very timely today. I came home from golf with a right side sore elbow and forearm. Watching now with a heat pack on the joint. Sad!
Better way for people to understand the correct motion is to compare it to swinging an AXE if your good at swinging an axe into a tree you will have no problem hitting a golf ball square because you body naturally does everything with your elbow and wrist to line up the axe head. Just have to have the right hip rotation or you gonna hit the ground before the ball.
Yeah I like that analogy. Great comment!
How do I avoid a pull hock
Pivot and clear out in front.
This is a first for me. The first person to view a video and comment. Meaningless I know but still...I got here first.
Thanks for commenting and CHEERS! You win....NOTHING....this time. :)
I tried the pizza box thing in slow motion and completely lost all my downswing lag angles. What am I missing to get this right?
Gotta pivot and turn as you are spinning the pizza!
I tried it with a real pizza. Bad idea.
@@zackfishman3245 DAMN!
@@Inmotion70 Additional revelations - I own and have studied the original hard bound Hogan book from 1956 and mistakenly tried to tuck my right elbow into my hip causing a major collapse of my arms, as you stated. You have clearly opened my eyes as to how to make this move and although it's taking a Lot of practice balls I am beginning to see improved arm extension and more distance, not nearly enough but I'm impressed by your explanations. They work. Thanks.
I chopped my driver in half by this setup 😢
How about this thought, right thumb at right ear, then away from right ear!!??
I'm hip to that. Whatever trigger works personally for you.
It amazes me how the brain will Allow the Right things to happen Automatically when skipping a rock but NOT when striking a golf ball! What makes the brain Fight the System that comes naturally when skipping the rock?
Wow that's a great point and question.
Just seems like your all over the place when you teach , keep it short and sweet ....really drags on ...
Actually doing this the wrong way has ruined my swing for the better part of two decades.
That’s all well and good for the young golfer but the senior golfer cannot rotate so that golf ball is going to right field
Can't rotate or don't rotate? I beg the latter.
Augeszeichnet
I watched this video 3 times and I could never follow which of your instructions were the right ones and which were the wrong ones. You demonstrated both, but never clearly said which one you SHOULD be doing, and which was the mistake.
If anyone wanted to make a good swing sound complicated this video is it.!
most ridiculous video I have ever seen..3 feelings in 1/100th of a second..it makes total sense but golly your 80,000 subscribers must be magicians!
Because of this video I lost 15 strokes
Sorry ! too complicated !!
