This is it! I roll my hands away from my body on the takeaway and then I’m in rescue mode the rest of the swing. THIS is the resolution. Plus the simple move of putting your lead shoulder where your trail shoulder was. So simple. Thank you!

[@garybean12]

When I was practicing this initially, my swing felt pretty normal.. then I noticed I was just holding on to the club tighter with my left hand. Once I loosened that up, I felt it immediately in my core and big muscles. Just wanted to pass that along for anyone else that tries this.

[@golfswings7925]

Good video/drill, guys! A request: can you please do a video comparing the golf swing to a throwing motion with the right/trail hand? Specifically where and when to aim the throw for a proper impact and release. Having played other sports, throwing comes naturally to me and unlocks a more athletic motion but... My golf swing tendency has always been to leave the arms behind in transition and scoop at the bottom. Have never been able to achieve shaft lean/good compression. Thanks!

[@16pennynails]

Mike Malaska teaches the throwing release you're seeking. It's a different grip, very strong lead hand with a square trail hand.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@@golfswings7925 the throw should send the ball a couple feet in front you on the target line 👍

[@kmrk4055]

Nice tips! I the best player in our group and sometimes help out my friends. I've often found that the reason they swing the way they do is just a misunderstanding or mis-conception of what should happen versus what they think should happen. One thing I told them similar to this, point the logo on the glove at the sky. It is much better if that points at the sky vertically up (they never go literally vertically, up but more up) than it is if the logo points horizontally parallel to the ground. I often found that the right hand was fighting the left and the left was winning and that was bad. If you tell them to point it at the sky it is so much easier for the right elbow to tuck in and the right hand to then be in the correct position.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@kmrk4055 nice coaching 👊🙂

[@scotlndr]

Excellent point. I can use that one as I've always wondered what my hands were really doing at the top of the swing.

[@docere1453]

Wow it works, ❤ I can drop the arms easier and tempo really feels great. Nice tip. I can’t wait to see what it does on the range and in play.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Let us know how it goes!

[@JKDavisjr]

I use this drill to relax my hands. To relieve the tension of my grip so both hands are working together. This is a good drill for that. But during this video we have a lot of unnecessary info that will still have a player slicing off or pulling to the left. Dropping from the back swing and not cast is something that wasn't explained during this drill explanation. Golf is hard and we need to know how to do it correctly. Pro- Instructions are expensive and to think you will get good from youtube is a dream. Practice my friends, everyday like the pros. You will get good. Find your swing and work on it. Thanks for your time. God I Love This Game!!!!

[@JD-ev1uj]

When I was first taking up golf my mother gave me the Bob Toski book. I believe it was called the complete golfer. Well, in that book Toski had a tip and he said around to the top then straight down to the bottom. I figured out that the swing was not rushed at the start and was only to get the body and club into the slot at the top. But the creme d la creme was the downswing thought. Straight to the bottom. Which frees the swing to really swing and gets the most speed and accuracy at the moment of truth. B/c you will shift your weight properly trying to go straight down with the arms. Thus shallowing the clubhead correctly. Yes, he liked to use very simple quips. But I used that all my golfing life to great effectiveness. With absolutely no lessons from a person except that book I was a par golfer. But I already had my fundamentals down pat. previously, through reading Golf digest.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

We love Bob Toski. I had the same book

[@sirtogii5216]

Definitely giving this one a go. Thanks guys

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

[@16pennynails]

I learned this drill in an older video of yours and it isn't as easy as it looks at any kind of speed except slow and controlled. Even that can be tricky, lol! I'm going to use it more often, or whenever I feel out of synch (in a hurry, especially my hands). Great Free content here guys, I know you charge big time for this stuff, I get emails all the time from AMG😊.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@@16pennynails so true, this won’t be the easiest drill when things are way out of sync, but that also a great time to do it 😅

[@timothypollock8358]

Give credit where credit is due. Sometimes we seem to be in synch as to what I'm working on/(re)discovering. I was just working on this exact concept. It is SO important to keep the trail hand attached and moving correctly in the golf swing relative to the lead one at ALL phases that affect the strike, so that they both move in effective conjunction with the body. It is so easy (especially as we get a bit older ) to let the trail hand move in all kinds of counterproductive ways in order to get the club to the ball. The trail hand is so important in hitting the ball, but only if it's in sequence. Otherwise, it would be better to take the right sequence in place of hitting hard with the trail hand. As Shawn noted, and especially important for me as I am still pretty strong and can still move fast, is to be aware that the trail hand cannot release through in sequence and on plane (maximum power, no flipping) if it doesn't do so with the trail side moving out, through the impact sequence. Overall this drill, and then applying what I've gleaned from it to full speed swings really (re)emphasizes the hand path being more vertical coming down and matching up the trail side motion approaching impact, two of THE most important aspects of the golf swing, and makes the swing feel like a well-oiled powerful machine. Cheers.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@@timothypollock8358 very VERY well said 🙌💪

[@itsnotokgolf]

I'd say take it a step further and on your lead hand only use your pinky and ring finger, and on your trail hand only use your ring finger and middle finger, all other fingers and thumbs open and held off the grip. it works!

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@@itsnotokgolf we done that one a few times in videos. Great drill for players struggling to find lag (among other things). The flute drill 😊

[@Justinsgolf]

This actually feels much more powerful than what I’ve been doing lol. Weird to say but it’s clean contact for me. Got some spray just to see where I was hitting it on the face and first few toe toe toe, then saw the center. Kinda surprised myself. It just works. Very weird feeling to literally open the trail hand, next step taking it to the range and see what happens !

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@@Justinsgolf let’s go! Make the drill a staple in you practice 👊🙂

[@noradinc]

The hell drill! It’s great for getting everything working right, though I find when I do it I have less lag even at full speed

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Never seen anyone do this well at full speed 😉

[@Tier_1_Golf_Academy]

Nailed it again 🔥 One of my go to drills for years. The trail arm has to SUPPORT the lead arm from underneath at the top. The whole “face 45° down at P2” crowd has ruined more swings than they’ve ever helped because higher hdcps never get the club behind the hands and end up with all the weight forward and towards the ball WAY too early. Then in the same breathe they well preach anti-early extension 🤦🏼‍♂️ It’s like, “bro, the takeaway you teach is the reason they HAVE TO stand up through it!” 🤯 I’m not rich and famous though, so what would I know 🙄😂

[@douglaslister2103]

Great material as always. I ask you to to present the drill first so I know where you’re going. Then explain what it teaches the golfer to do correctly before you explain what people get wrong. Often I just skip the first one-third to one-half of your videos to get to the key substance.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@@douglaslister2103 then your missing the key substance and unfortunately demonstrating why so many struggle to improve. Why would you want to take “medicine” without first knowing or if it even applies to your swing ailment 😉

[@douglaslister2103]

@@AthleticMotionGolf Standard advice to presenters is people will follow your journey more enthusiastically if given a quick vision of where you are leading them and what the destination offers. My suggestion is this: 1. Very briefly, in less than a minute, show/summarize the drill and state what it addresses. 2. Go into detail about the problems it addresses 3. Provide the detail on the drill. 4. Re-summarize. Your viewers are dedicated golfers and highly value your work. Many will know their issues and are lookiing for the best ways to fix them. They--or at least I--can get that in the first minute, and seeing the drill and that exciting opportunity it offers--they will drawn in more strongly than by watching 4-5 minutes of what people do wrong before even seeing the drill.

[@TheWedgeWizard]

@@AthleticMotionGolf yea if a 10min video is too long for them to watch even with the ability to fast forward, watch it at 2X speed, etc. Then golf probably isn’t their game. Maybe they should take up pocket pool! 🤣 When I grew up learning the game all I had were books, magazines & wisdom passed down by old timers, this was before the internet was really a thing. It was so awesome when the golf channel became a thing! but I didn’t get it on my TV for some years 😭. Still I loved every second of learning, practicing, playing, etc. I lived at the course. By the time I graduated high school I broke basically every school record(they all still stand) I was a +4.5 with a full scholarship, went to college where I got my first of a few golf lessons. They didn’t really help/teach me anything new but rather were just a 2nd set of eyes which was kinda nice, camera phones were just popping off so they weren’t really a thing yet. The thing was I didn’t agree with what the coach was trying to have me do which fast forward to current day I know I was then correct. It was Similar to how TV commentators used to critique Tiger because he would squat slightly & drop his head a touch in the downswing before posting up on the lead side, I would also do that(particularly with driver/swinging hard) which my coach tried to get me away from(ironically I shot my first course record of 61 just before during the same month I got my first lesson). I had been obsessed with the game my entire life and soaked up as much info as I possibly could spending most days at the course with an old tour pro or at home reading about golf. My college coach was young, he was barely 30 and in retrospect tried to give me terrible advice so I’m glad I didn’t really listen. . After college played on multiple mini tours & even played 2 PGA tour events before a car accident set me back a few years without golf. The moral of the story is people don’t know how good/easy they got it these days with all the information you could possibly want at your fingertips, launch monitors, golf balls that fly super long, straight & don’t get touched by the wind, Gigantic club heads that you can’t miss,etc etc. Golf isn’t something you can just learn real quick, you either have an obsession or you don’t. 🍻
