Hi Guys. It seems to me that the Pro is recentreing and transition down practically simultaneously in a distinctly rythmic fashion which to mind eliminates any stop start swing thought at the top. Your thoughts please

When a round gets out of control, swing back longer and be very conscious of not rushing the downswing….but also, focusing on hips, knees and feet lets it happen naturally, without rushing-which is a conscious movement

great refresher

Do you guys have any insight on differences of the golf swing related to eye dominance? I'm left eye dominate and right handed. That seems to cause issues with ball position and quality of strike from the driver and sometimes long irons. It is like either one or the other works and the other is off, on any given day. Great with the putter and short game is solid for me. Biggest miss would be fat contact, hooks, or pulls

What about a guy that has wider shoulders but is average height? Start wider and work from there?

I would love to see you demonstrate this same technique for a mid-iron vs driver, is it really the same? It works well for me with irons, not so much for driver … video suggests am not keeping elbow tucked, but not sure.

Harvey Penick said... " have a little visit with yourself at the top", works for me when I start rushing.

JumboMax grips is the way to go. Put those grips on and quit using those little kiddie grips. Grip and rip it and let the ball fly

Struggling to teach my GF this,have suggested cosmetic filler injection into the heel of her hand which immediately improved her right hand hinge/slap

I think there's an often overlooked reason for feeling rushed in the golf swing... Pace of play issues. When you can see a few groups stacked behind you and you can't remember when you last saw the group ahead of you. 😅

.18 .11 .08...got it on my 3rd try. More seriously, how do we work on reaching max hand speed at the sweet spot around club parallel in the downswing and then decelerating hand speed in that .08 interval to contact? It makes total sense to optimize the centripetal force of the club head, but I can't even envision the feels of that, or what kind of drills would help to create it.

More excellent instruction guys from AMG! The best golf instruction on KZbin.

As the saying goes “Free, free at last”. I’ve been working on my driver and focused on the saying “slow and low” that at times makes the swing difficult to start and feel wooden. Using your advice I’ve added more tempo to the start and adding a slight pause at the top makes the process much more fluid. Thanks for the lesson and looking forward to future instruction.

Great video!!

excellent video... Its one thing to find the problem, but to fix it is a different story. Any drill to help me solve this issue that I have been doing for way too long??

lots of great info here and as a hi handicapper trying to improve,i have found that strengthen my grip both hands has caused my shaft to lean slightly more forward at impact resulting in better ball impact. John

Great video. I do appreciate these types of videos on the course with real demos instead of just showing the 3D videos.

Excellent visual! Just tried a few swings in the garage. Looking to get fitted on friday and this is the transition that i am working on and want my clubs fitted for. Thanks!

Setup, setup, setup for 2025! Nice vid!

I’m working on learning to supinate my lead wrist on the downswing. Interested in hearing your advice. My swing mechanics aren’t too shabby but I know if I could deloft the club face I would compress the ball more effectively.

Info overload, super confusing.

Scottie Scheffler has exactly that extra little float with the arms at the top

Happy new year! You might complement the drill with the freedom to lift the lead heel. That would make the sequence more balanced, leading to ‘ la dance du golfe’ .

Thanks Guys and Happy New Year🎉 Fantastic drill! I was caight up with the individual movement, complete the back swing, full shoulder turn, re-centre and swing. Tried this drill completely change my concept!

Happy New Year guys! Have a healthy and happy 2025.

Would love a video on Aim.. I always seem to aim right. I use alignment sticks when practicing. Just some ideas for on the course. Amazing content as usual. Happy New Year from Australia 🇦🇺 🎉

Happy New Year. Not playing or practicing now, have cancer and am on chemo. But have followed you for years. This one is number one for me. Hope next year can get back to the game I’ve loved for 62 years.

great video guys!

Great vid as always. Something I find interesting, that I think kind of gets neglected, is foot work. For example, it seems to properly “roll” the trail foot a lot things in the swing need to be completed kind of correctly. If there’s a channel that can turn that unsexy topic into sexy it’s you guys!

Never feel rushed except driver…so as you said worse when club longer….been working especially with driver to speed up takeaway. Thanks

I forget where I read it, but someone said to watch a pro of your choosing or someone who's swing you like and to try and match their tempo. I did this and it completely opened my eyes that my takeaway and backswing was twice as long as it should be. The club was not loading or unloading properly at all. Highly recommend giving it a try

So, I reckon that the push from the lead side in the backswing is what creates the small amount of sway off the ball?

The divot board from why golf is so good at giving the feeling your talking about in this video

I'm rushed when I feel I've got things left to do in the downswing. When the back swing is behaving I feel free time at the top and when that happens the ball comes out well

Trying to square the concept of the "arm float" with your other video on left arm abduction. When you demonstrate how to let the arms "finish" in the backswing, it looks like (emphasis here) that left arm is working across the chest. Is that movement just the left shoulder protracting? I hope that makes sense. I've tried limiting the amount my left arm works across my chest, but my arms have seem to gotten a little short in the process. Wondering if that arm trail off is the protraction piece of the movement. Thanks for excellent content as always.

OK, I'm swinging the club up to the top and when I get to the top I pause. Right handed swing. I'm really sensing all parts of my body and my ass feels like it has shifted left and I'm neutral with my weight distribution on my feet. It almost feels like I'm starting to sit or squat down. Is this correct? Thanking you in advance for any clarification.

I actually say the name Vijaaay Singh in my mind with an emphasise on the aaay at the top of the backswing, gets me in a nice 3 to 1 ratio, sounds a bit crazy i know, but works a treat for me, anyway Happy New Year fellas thanks for all your great work👍🍻🥳🙏

Great vid. I get concerned that my trail arm is going to bend too much when I feel like the arms continue after the body

Goreat tip, but showing Chris Kirk's swing in slow motion kind of defeats the purpose of seeing the speed difference in the first part of the takeaway, it would show tempo better in real time I think...

Ok bros. I am amazing at short irons, good up til my hyprids, then my woods and driver, I'm terrible. I think my wrists and the problem and I'm going into the simulator working on that. but honestly why is a guy who is so aazing with his 7 iron suddenly turning over on his driver can't see any part of the fairway, thanks

Awesome video guys

Would this same concept be useful for putting as well? It would be awesome if you could do a video (with GEARS as well 🤞) explaining the different putting strokes/techniques and the best way to achieve each (conventional vs lead hand low vs claw, etc.). Currently using a "prayer" grip (after moving from lead hand low) and LAB Link 1, but I still feel like my shoulders open too much in the through stroke more often than they should, causing offline results.

This is soooo true. I had always been a rusher, that leads to an arm intensive swing, often leaving body & its bigger muscles behind & unable to participate to maximise force. When I’m doing this well my swing appears slow & effortless. At top it creates a pause you wouldn’t notice in real time playback, that pause allows me a split second to really see the ball & get my lower body more involved in the follow through. When playing well the pause seems to last longer, world is in slo-mo. What a feeling ❤

Great drill for this is a tennis ball on the end of a rope with a golf grip. You can't be quick or out of sync and have it work.

Thanks for this video as it was a rubiks cube for me also. Back in my single youngers days and being a scratch golfer never had this problem but developed this after having kis and not being able to practice as much I developed this awful habit. I thought the issue was in the knees so I was concentrating on trying to fix that. I went to the range yesterday, after not hitting for a few weeks, and hit a lot of solid shots. My key thought on the downswing after watching this video was to rotate the hips and I hit a lot of good shots yesterday. Still hit a few with the bad habit swing, but this certainly gives me something to work on. Thanks, this is something I couldn't figure out on my own. (and I'm a self taught golfer who was good back in the days)

Love the video, I’ve been working on my take away, can you do a video sometime on the importance and technique of a good take away. Thanks fellas

Thanks for this! Good clarification of how to do it. My problem is that when I've tried the drill I tend to just move way off the ball to the trail side, rather than, apparently, rotating and staying more centered. I'd like to incorporate this into my practice, but don't want to engrain the wrong thing. Any thoughts? Thanks!

A good feedback tool for tempo is the "GolfFix" app. It will record your swing and then analyze the time of the backswing and downswing and tell you what ratio you are at and what to speed up or slow down.
