The interuptor of all interuptors

Funny…I am reading the comments and I see so many people that don’t get it. I am neurodivergent and this kind of instruction, whether he knows it or not, resonates with me rather than generic golf instructions. I get it! Thank you.

The legendary Mike Austin Swing was complete in and of itself. Parts of it CANNOT be adapted to any conventional swing bcz it builds the swing from - the literally the ground up. One of the "pieces" people are most interested in is the Mike Austin "release", and there have been several videos on this ... many good. It CANNOT simply be added to the conventional PGA-approved swing, whatever that is today. Here is the Mike Austin release in its simplest form: slap something/backhand something with your left hand. Mike showed it to me several times. The whole point is to unimpeded your grip so that it doesn't slow down or misalign your shot. Of course, at this point in the swing, the left side has cleared the swing path/body @45 deg angle or so, or your grip will crash into your left side using conventional swing practice. Hence, his swing is complete, and really can't be cannibalized to improve or fine-tune a conventional swing.

This man is a genius. I am neurodivergent and I can’t learn from basic generic lessons. I needed the physics explained and shown to me. I love the baton drill. Thank you!

Do the neighbours love it as much as you? Bash bash……😂😂😂

i like how you're giving a short summary in the beginning, and then going through the detail video.

The HARD PART is to just hit what you are aiming at. You cannot control the ball if you cannot hit where you are aiming.

Less technical mumbo jumbo, a fast look at the wrong way then quickly on to the right way! I caught myself trying to figure out what all that abduction whoever meant then I realized I don’t need to add more lingo I mainly need to see what the wrong way vs the right way then some right way drills.

George Knudson has the smoothest transition very distinct lay down.

The sign of a good teacher and someone who has mastered the topic is being able to explain the complex easily….

Brenden’s comment about Milo not practicing reminds me of Hogan hitting 500 balls a day and that being necessary to maintain his swing. That speaks volumes about the soundness of Milo’s swing vs Hogan’s.

Am I the only one that automatically thought of the “don’t move your head” detriment in a full golf swing.

Fascinating how common "wisdom" keeps coming up short. I remember how adamant instructors were that you shouldn't putt with your index finger down the shaft -- until Brooks Koepka won a couple of majors doing just that. And I might be mistaken, but I think it was Harvey Penick who said something to the effect that watching the putter head go back was a recipe for disaster. What's next? A tour player who grips the club with his right palm under and his thumb on the back of the shaft? 😁

I want to understand but i dont get it.

After 2 years, watching again. "Shorten backswing and swing hard." This may be the actual "secret."

As a sport psychologist, may I suggest your experimental method can improve in these ways….Firstly, 50 makes and 49 makes are statistically insignificant in variation. Also, 50 putts at the same distance and place has practice effects. I think three distances at 12, 8 and 4 feet in rotation would eliminate that. If you designed your experiment your way, it would have been rejected by the academics as having design flaws. BTW, you making 49 out of 50 would disqualify you as an experimental subject, as you’re too good at baseline to begin with, and there is no space for variation in the experimental phase.

Relative to standard ‘how to’ type instruction this is like upside down thinking - building in ‘reactivity’s if the ball was moving: so super interesting but challenging and which requires a good deal of ‘unlearning’ if such a word exists so my take out is this 1, You set the base of the swinging motion (feet) and the apex (clunhead) separate in pace and keep these separate through the motion 2.The motion from start to finish, is unidirectional - clockwise for the right handed golfer 3. Providing the apex with momentum right from the start is the swing slider 4. This is achieved by the transfer of underfoot weight pressure with limited lateral motion, from foot to foot - exaggerated by the stepping process 5, Once energised by the footwork, the inertia of the apex must be allowed to determine the motion around the orbit without the conscious application of force at the handle end of the club and without undue movement of the body to perturb the orbital motion 6, And always keep the shaft on the lead side of the ‘away’ motion and on the body’s trail side during the forward part of the orbit Am I on roughly the correct page Brandon..

I got the impression that this guy wasn’t convinced by what Mike was saying hence the continual ‘but,but,but’ type questions. There is a great piece of golf equipment called ‘The Explanar’ , a circular metal frame which prescribes the perfect circle around you ‘on plane’. When you stand in it and make a swing it wont let you shallow the club behind you at the top. Why? Because you run your club around the frame on the backswing and it keeps you on the circle. It puts you in exactly the position Mike is describing. I have no idea why YT coaches don’t use The Explanar as a teaching aid more. It literally puts you in the right place at the top and helps you understand the relationship between your hands and club head position i.e. keep club head outside of hands.

You also forget that everything he does is for stability and consistency! He arm locks with a putter that is almost straight up and down it is one degree within the usga limits! So being so on top of it and letting your eyes follow the stroke takes the hit out of your stroke and even makes you forget about the hole… he’s basically figured out how to recreate belly putters so that there is an anchor..

Brendon, you're great at what you do but it doesn't seem like people are happy with Brian's explanation. Why don't you have me on and see if your viewers like it. I promise I'll explain it all very simply.

This video was the most impactful to my swing of all of your videos I’ve watched the last 10 years. It could be that I’m just at the point where I could consume and understand this information. The way you described the forces and the why behind this, made all of the difference for me. The tipping Malaska move has allowed me to bring the club next to my body, keep everything together and crush every club in my bag. This made golf fun for me again. Thanks Brandon!

In order to make this a valid test you've have to come back another day and do the same in reverse order. It's very possible that you simply get better the more you practiced.

When you were comparing it to the TrackMan you were reading the total yards when the guy was asking you carry yards

I think Bryson also has the image of his ruler for distance in his head

I used to follow the putter head with my eyes and tried to UNLEARN it and stare at the ball and always found it so difficult. Then I watched that Bryson video and hearing him say he also watches the putter head made me so happy. Now I'm back to doing what's comfortable

I asked that question, maybe, thirty years ago, I finally got my answer.

Crazy stuff. I wonder how Bryson came up with this?

You're moving all over on the forward stroke of your putting.

You picked up on the exact same thing I did from that round they played.

What another interesting discussion. 4 to 6 ft is killing my score card so I will try anything. I remember Harrington disagreeing with a still head while putting. He differentiated between rotation of the head and moving it and absolutely thought rotating the head while putting was ok. I would have thought that keeping the fluid in the inner ear steady would be pertinent to perception and balance and it would make sense for that reason to keep the head still. I’ve also read some comments recently from the putting gurus about eye tracking and why focusing on a dot or dimple on the ball should be beneficial but clearly there may be another way. Very interesting observation BBG.

Love this kinda stuff to try out that's more akin to where you place your awareness. With all my clubs, I find I can get different results and feels from a slight shift of focus to different parts of the clubhead, although I would struggle to prove it is anything more than some kind of placebo effect. This was a really intersting one.

My distances are way off…does lighting have an effect? Any other ideas?

i think putter as clubhead is better than ball focus

Should have compared this to looking at the hole during the putt. It would have covered all of the putting methods that change eye focus.

It’s tough to get any relevance out of this when you’re doing it one after the other.

Good video. I am now wondering how "keeping your eyes on the hole" would compare. Maybe one is better at certain ranges.

I only ever watch my putter head. That's what's moving. That's what can get misaligned. Not the ball.

My friends tell me I do this naturally. My fell or mindset is to move my right shoulder back under and thru. Allowing my head to follow this same path keeps my putter head square and low on the short follow thru. I have a strange set up. The ball is played off the outside of my lead or left foot. I then place 80% of my weight on that lead foot which moves my sternum and eyes over the ball. I never was taught this and never really worked on it. But my playing partners always ask me why I do it I say I’m not sure it’s just natural for me.

Always enjoy a good golf conversation!!

This may work. However, I think you have to keep in mind the lie angle of his putter. Being that uprght, it makes sense to go straight back and straight through and watch the putter head. With more of an arc, this may or may not apply

Gonna try 👍

Well done on doing all the tests and the amount of putting. From my review only Bernard Langer does it like Bryson. J Wagner believes you shouldnt keep your head still but does not look at putterhead per se.

Could it also be that you were “warmed up” and had the speed of the green when you switched over to Bryson method and as a result scored better?

What do you think about the heads up putting?

I think this can free up someone’s shoulder turn as opposed to focusing in on the hit ball or hole

I can see it freeing up your shoulder turn and takes focus off ball and hole so it frees you up

Is the feel like a pendulum, only your head is part of the pendulum as opposed to the pendulum stopping at your shoulders in a normal head still stroke?

Very good! I saw Bryson do that and was intrigued by it

hit over 200 putts in this test

Thanks for watching!
