My own collection of coaching videos feature many coaches who advocate the weight transfer to the back hip in the backswing and the single plane downswing, plus many more Austin swing features. Seems to me that there is a large but quiet Austin following amongst the best coaches
Thanks Steve: Watch your front foot....as noted previously you reset the support by moving the left heel...and thus the foot- for your physique- is better able to accept the rotation and the applied forces.
This reminds me of Monty. He always had quite a big lateral move of the hips back and thru. Most coaches would tell you not to copy it but he was one of the most accurate players on tour in recent history… interesting 🤔
Perhaps I missed a subtle move Steve. However, I do not see either Mike Dunaway or Mike Austin rotate his left foot on the downswing. I think it is clever that you have adapted the left foot to the forces that your body generates.
@@Inmotion70 Steve could you please review your “unintended” move? I believe it saves the hip from injury by moving it from a locked position in the pivot. For those who lift the heel, this allows a hip turn that will not hurt eventually. With kinesiology in mind, I believe your move, with toes towards the target, is anatomically desirable.
@@nextbounce1724 It's an interesting idea. Not sure if it's something I'd want to try to coach someone to do. I'd rather have them just start with the foot more open.
@@Inmotion70 Steve, I think you already coach the necessary ideas for a healthy hip pivot: foot open, ankle roll, “lift the chair”. I believe the essential point from Mike Austin is that the hips move “at a bias” not laterally. Otherwise, if you’re lucky, the foot will move to prevent injury. Thanks for your instruction.
Very interesting! Someone else has picked up on your left foot downswing movement and confirmed both MA & MD didn’t rotate their left foot. I presume your left rotation may be a subconscious twist or just habitual. Nothing too concerning in relation to overall swing mechanics.🏌🏻♂️
Steve on the downswing I tilt back in an attempt to stay back with my center of mass and throw the club to 1 o clock while the lower body separates and rotates. This results in lower spine twist and a sore lower back. Any videos you have or recommendations much appreciated. Thank you
I don‘t understand, why no PGA tour players have the Austin compound pivot. Is it because it is easier to have the contact point at the exact same place without the little sway to the right in the backswing?
Hi Steve great swing and i see you’re extremely close on this presentation as you are discovering your obliques muscles groups Every golfer on the planet must learn to used their obliques muscles groups that are the only muscles inside our body that are capable of tilting and turns the body at the exact same time while protecting the spine as well and allow our lower body to respond as it should automatically. Anyone who is foolish enough to hold back their lower body is waiting to go to the hospital So by first tilting with your lead side this will permit the turning your body to your trail side; and then start your downswing as Mike Austin said to his young student one day: ´ Look here on your downswing I want you to use your trail leg as if you are going to knee a midget in the balls.’ Not nice or politically correct by today standards of speech; but I think it drives home a major point of what initiates the golf downswing. That the Mike Austin swing in a nutshell. My swing at 74 has never been better using what I like to call my Pendulum Tick Tock Kick The Trail Knee Down The Line Golf Swing. My Bottled Swing. Cheers ❤️😃⛳️👍👀

Hi Steve i have been using your setup with the driver and have great results! thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge
Cheers Mitch!

Thanks Steve, I hit 300 yrds now because of your tips. Really love them, I hope to be consistent and hope you keep making vids like this..thanks again
Keep it up!
Love this! Thanks for sharing

Have done it for years and never intended it. It's interesting how it works out.

Have you checked Milo Lines take on a swing. He did say that he thinks it`s symmetric like you do.
Interesting. I'm betting his pivot is not.
@@Inmotion70 here is a link. See for your self ua-cam.com/video/DrDZRcfqpOI/v-deo.html
@@Inmotion70he actually talks about pushing trail glute to target at top of backswing
the shift feels more natural than turning in a barrel. free and effortless

Do you do the same with your irons??
This is the Gold I can take to the bank. I got it now.
I think that Kyle Berkshire is similar, would you agree?
Yeah it would be interesting to take a closer look at his hips.
I don‘t understand, why no PGA tour players have the Austin compound pivot. Is it because it is easier to have the contact point at the exact same place without the little sway to the right in the backswing?
Austin was right. Hip tilt and turn is the way to really get distance. Unless you are really flexible the others are too much strain and effort.
Austin was way ahead of his time as a physiologist.Long before there were bachelor degrees in Human Movement.
Isn't it a sway to shift the hip laterally to the right in the backswing?
If you want to call it that. I define a sway as the head moving out of center. I call this a complete weight shift, just a like a baseball pitcher.
@@Inmotion70 Thanks for clarifying.

Yes Steve .. but she IS much prettier than you. :-)
Ya think?
