    Been playing off and on for 20 years and am a low marker but could never hit draw pitches. Recently focused on the better short swing position and hit the most consistently accurate short shots ever. This is spot on teaching...again!

    Spent about six months ruining my golf came trying to fix crossing the line, and I finally got a lesson and the coach said I was on the arc, just that I had a lot of rotation, felt like such an idiot

    Great vid and answered a question I had on the backswing , so perfect timing! It’s taken me around 18/24 months to change my swing solely based on your videos and my game has improved dramatically, gone from mid 90s to low 80s and still improving/embedding. Biggest compliment I can give you is I was about to give up golf as it just wasn’t fun anymore as I was playing awful, I’ve now got the love for the game back as I feel so much more comfortable/confident with my swing. Still not perfect but getting there and I remember one of your replies to my messages - if it was easy changing your swing, we would all be playing on the PGA! So true, glad I stuck with it, thank you 👍🍻

    Great stuff as always. I’m in the second category, works great with the irons, but it’s tough with driver. There isn’t enough time to get the club back to the ball. Some friends have the “1 a” problem and are good with driver, but struggle with their approach play.

    Thanks for the great workout lads! Solves two problems of feel, how to find the right weight of the club going back around behind me (not pushing or dragging off balance) But also landing in "the slot" at the top! Recenlt I came across the idea of the "right elbow plane" (from dtl instead of going flying elbow or too steep, and I realized my right shoulder socket isn't packed enough, upper arm, not externally rotated enough to get my right elbow crease more facing out, to really get all this to work so, just wondered if you have any thoughts on right elbow plane or any of that?
    Pete Cowen teaches in his pyramid video about right shoulder packed and elbow crease and I just plain forgot to focus on that enough! Compensation drift a bit... and I do have history of dislocations and a forward posture (that I recently got serious physio to help with! So food for thought for everyone I hope! Thanks for the amazing video!

    Hey guys I’ve been looking through all your old videos and watched just about everything and I’m new and have a really hard time putting it all together especially when I don’t exactly understand some of the terms. It would be awesome if you guys could make a basics golf swing video just focusing on form for back swing and down swing and some good pointers to help with contact. There’s a lot of new golfers it seems and it’s really tempting to click on the click bait title ( HOW TO HIT IT PURE EVERY TIME WITHOUT PRACTICING) and I only watch your guys videos since you guys got the tech!!

      @@AthleticMotionGolf I didn't think they were necessarily at odds, but in looking at Shaun's demonstration, as he was positioning himself in this video, it seemed that maybe it might look a little different if it were less than 90? ...Thanks!

      @@orthoagnostic3364 gotcha - thanks for the context 👊 It shouldn't have any bearing on this movement. Using Shaun as an example, in real swing, his right arm is low to mid 80's. We probably see 2x to 3x more laid-off swings with overly bend trail arms. Good trail arm width will help with this because it helps with turn.
      Does that help with your question?

      I saw a video of Sean Foley giving a good golfer a lesson, and it all boiled down to a proper position at the top of the backswing (position, width, angle of lead wrist). He said I used to focus on multiple issues with students, but I have learned, even with pros, it's best to focus on one thing. For the student in question, Sean told him, "Even if you were a pro, this might be the only thing we work on for two years."
