I can hit it 230 -240 metres but I do truly feel peter there's fair effort in it I'm 6ft 88 kgs about the build of Marc leishman your saying Providing I can get sequences right I should be able to hit further so it's purely efficiency but important thing is getting them hips and and lower body through then at inpact fire the wrists

A decending blow with the driver will not help achieve distance

Great video. Took some video of myself for the first time in years. Definitely too long a backswing. Hope i can do as you say. Thanks

Peter what your saying is your hips or that part of body shoulder feel that they are at inpact first also the powers at peak halfway down then it's simple hands realising as rest are slowing

Peter your spot on I've practise this all week and treated my stableford comp today as test for it and this does generate speed if you time it , 230-240 metres off tee still had couple of early extensions where I let that right knee go but I know when I hit real bad shot now that this is the cause as everything else is tension free and moving as one 7 handicap , end result today 34 points 79 off stick pretty happy

I want to buy one of these ropes for this exact purpose. Thank You

If the right knuckle gets underneath can that cause for a right handed player cause a player to rotate the face closed through impact

thanks, that sounds about right. I have to remind my arms come though a little faster down the bottom, if I don't then my body turns/coils forward with out them.

Good video Peter, I use an alignment stick where it just touches the glutes, that stops me from coming out of the shot.

Thanks Peter another great video

I will teybusing ny hack motion on my right hand. Interesting idea.

Good one…

I've found this movement really helped my swing. Eventually, I found my personal tempo, like throwing a ball, by increasing my backswing speed. My backswing was too slow, which interfered with my bodies continuous and natural transfer of pressure in the lower body (I would tend to lay back on my right side), A faster backswing vs. low and slow, for example, gives me the sensation of having extra time and space during transition to gather the club and hit it with as much speed as I can muster. Great results! Thanks!

Why are you moving your wrist anyway?????......crazy stuff

How about your wrists after impact. Do you try to hold the same angles.

If my arms are coming disconnected at the body , does that create more division in distance with the elbows as well ?

❤❤❤❤

Peter, I have watched seven videos this am concerning elbows in the golf swing. You advise contradicts all the others. Their contention is most amateurs allow their elbows to separate during the swing.

Could you recommend a method or tool to measure hand speed?

I had to stop watching. You can’t have a black sweater and black sleeves. It’s all blended together and you can’t see anything.

This is so true! The pocket you feel in the right hand makes a lot of difference. That pocket formed should never be in contact with the grip

I saw this video and your right hand video yesterday I went to the range before my game and followed your grip lesson and my game changed dramatically. Thank you Peter!

Awesome explanation. The visual you give of common faults was the key to understanding for me. Thanks

When your sliding forward are you pushing off back foot or somehow floating to lead side

Great illustration. Thank you.

is this for right handers?

I think your demonstrations are very clear and precise, but the video is cut too fast / early, and it would be a lot better to see if you wore not black in black but a different colour for your arms or short sleaves, ...

Excellent clear concise presentation with no cliches .

I find that I fight the tendency to bend my left wrist back when i try to take too long of a backswing. Forcing too much rotation with my arms seems to strain my left wrist and force that action. Should note that i dont intentionally extend my back swing. Its just something that happens because im a hacker!

Had a lesson the coach didn't pick up on my cupping at impact, he forced me to use a stronger uncomfortable grip. My driving still sliced regardless.

Finally, someone who actually understands the club is supposed to swing, not be put into positions. 😂

Hi from Indonesia.. thank you for the enlightenment... Is the same grip applies to the driver?

Finally somebody who knows how the golfswing works. My compliments.

Amazing clear description of why the body gets out of shape the long the backswing is. I have been hitting 3/4 swing for a while with much better results recently and I wasn't sure why, thank you Peter for your excellent analysis of how a normal (non athletic) body moves with long and short swings, very well done!

I needed to hear this

The general rule I heard is 7 iron club head speed (mph) x 1.9 = predicted yards. So 80 mph x 1.9 = 152 yards. Kinda words for me and I’m an a average golfer.

Do you know of a formula that converts clubhead speed to arm and hand speed?

excellent Peter

Interesting, thanks ...

Thanks, Peter. Padraig Harrington has made a similar suggestion about speed. He suggests swinging the driver at maximum speed at least once a week; If I recall correctly, about 12-20 swings. I'm 75 and try about 10 to 12 swings max speed once a week along with a light weights work out. Seems to work for me with no muscle pulls so far

Quick question please - is swing speed basically generated by the wrists

I have now watched this vid through 4 times - it’s prob the best example of how to release a golf club on utube - without all the technical jargon - thankyou sooo much - I can’t wait to look at your other vids - I wish I’d found your channel years ago

Excellent thanks - in just normal talk

Well Done Peter on the 5 Golf Misconceptions on the Golf Swing! All noted and agreed upon!

Not on the backswing, do it on the downswing.

This move to “ release “ the club head allowed me to hit the ball better in 10-15 minutes than I have in 15 years. The club released which I understand at last. Vic Ghezzi used to just shake his head when we played together in the 1970’s. Now I know what he was talking about!! Thank you John Ludwig

What do you mean by your head being „retracted” please Peter?

That’s pulled!

Thanks for the tip mate!

I hit 75% chips fat and 20% thin, but every practice shot without a ball there is perfect, just brushing the ground. Immensely frustrating, and if possible I avoid chipping unless I have no option. The problem is definitely clubhead height. Any suggestions? Thanks.
