Literally every video I watch from this channel fixes another element of my shot. I was very much in the swing your own swing mindset and thought I was too inflexible for a pro swing but I've been able to reproduce every aspect they've explained within a day. Incredible lessons!

[@metphmet]

Yes , we have as many problems as there are videos . Hopefully they will stop publishing !

[@prosystemssupply]

You guys are transforming my golf game like never before. I first heard of "shallowing the club" from a friend and tried to do it but didn't really understand it. This video makes it crystal clear. After working on the range for a short while, I finally felt the torque and starting crushing my driver and my irons! Thank you guys for the clarity!

[@toddlaw3208]

Really have taken advantage of your instructional analysis and videos! I have improved my swing dramatically in a short time. Just got back from the range. I watched my swing in slow motion and noticed my club is pointing significantly inside of the ball. This drill will allow me to improve this move!!

[@tyzak2]

One of the best tips I have ever seen !!! Really helped me with my downswing path and much added swing speed and distance. Thank you !!!!

[@tinnguyen143]

This drill is perfect for many reasons. One being for those like me that tilt the shoulders way too early in the downswing. Like Shaun shows, this is a symptom of your trail arm not straightening early enough or moving your hands away from your trail shoulder fast enough. I’ve known this but could never find a drill or move that worked (for me) until this drill. A light bulb moment for me. Thanks guys 🙏🙏🙏

[@jackbisson9226]

This could be the best video on increasing clubhead speed out there. Great breakdown on starting hand speed early in the downswing without steeping the club. Awesome stuff.

[@OMGC610]

The Rory drill!! The explanation of the left arm extension and the avoidance of collapsing the right arm is seminal. Everything else follows. The BEST.

[@dickyrock1]

Lads, thanks so much for following up with this video. Love the instruction, lots of ideas you don't hear often. Keep up the good work

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Thanks!!

[@josephlovotti1055]

Great video. I have been looking for a drill to help with my width and shallowing the club. I have seen the split hand drill before but no one explained it in a way that made sense to me like you guys did. Thank you. I'll be watching your videos a lot from now on.

[@OpaKnows]

I'll say it again: you guys are the best at employing GEARS for the golf swing. I learn so much, so quickly. Thanks!

[@swisstrader]

Love the drill and love the fact that these guys actually respond to many comments and questions.

[@johnshearer9477]

This is the best freaking video Mike and Shaun have ever posted! You guys just demystified 20 of your posts with this one gem. Or else I was too dense to understand the others, but that's besides the point...

[@richardjeffrey2356]

Thanks so much for this incredibly informative and, for me, pertinent information. There's so much stuff out there, and you are one of, if not the, only guys who back it up with what we all, as confused and aspiring golfers, need - evidence. Brilliant. Best info on KZbin by a mile. Thanks for posting.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Richard Jeffrey thanks for watching!🙏🏻👊

[@michaelcenter7829]

This video has been great. The exact concept I am working with my instructor. Always good to see it from different angles, which helps me to connect what he is asking me to do.

[@tedboyia]

That is the best explanation for increasing speed that I have seen. I watched the first one AM vs Pro showing the same hand speed but I did not quite understand how to practice the arm extension. The Rory drill you showed makes perfect sense. 72 years young and a still single digit.

[@juergensalscheider7005]

One of the best explanations I have ever seen on YT. Thanks for this.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Thanks for watching🙏

[@1DCCX]

Something you said about 8:00 about tilt. What would you say is the best thing, intention or concept to focus on to stop premature tilt or to nail down transitioning from left side bend to right? Whether that is a club focus, body or arms. Appreciate working on the grip or something counter intuitive could even be the most productive thing(!), so just generally. Which of your videos best addresses it? Many thanks again, cheers.

[@jamesippolito2790]

This is gold! Appreciate you guys listening to your audience I was one of the many people asking for clarity on increasing hand speed while “pulling the handle” and this cleared that up. The right arm losing width on the downswing is me to a tee!

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

We shoot these a good ways in advance of when they air, but we do read all the comments and try to help clarify as much as we can. Thanks for watching, again!😊

[@maralvor]

Found it! This answers my questions about the Am’s proper intent ! Just perfect! Thanks again Regards Ian

[@snooker1972]

Brilliant video, seen a lot of yours, & this is definitely up there. Good job 👍

[@sjwpyle3195]

Another great video guys. I love how you deconstruct the swing in parts. It makes it so much easier to understand the correct movements needed for elite golf as well as amateurs trying to improve. Keep up the good work.

Glad they're helping, SJW. Thanks for watching🙏

[@thegreatone2674]

Great stuff I will be doing this drill tomorrow without fail.. Thanks Mike

[@bjoy9566]

Yes, yes, yes! Tried this at the range and just gained 20 yards off every club. Now need to work on controlling this better but this and the video before it about hand speed just changed my game! Amazing.

[@mattwilliams7638]

THis video addresses two things that I have struggled with for a long time - steep shaft angle and hands to far into the body. Great drills to work on....thanks guys.

[@williamtenorio724]

I’ve just come back from my backyard. You’ve undone years of my following advice that has stifled my swing speed. This video along with the previous pro to amateur analysis has been eye opening. Thanks!

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

William Tenorio love it nice work👊

[@mikehammer8555]

Always a pleasure watching you guys and the drills you provide to improve our game. I also love this drill to feel where my right shoulder should be in the downswing, I had a problem moving my shoulder out towards the target line from the top, doing this drill properly stops that from happening, thanks again.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

That's a great point that we forgot to mention, Mike. This is a great drill to do for good right shoulder movement. Great job👏

[@stanevans8904]

So instructive.. feedback is instantaneous.... coupled with "Pro-Am" lower body movement analysis is pure GOLD

[@leonardspoharski5205]

Great info. Am older n lost NY swing. Thanks to u guys I think I might regain some of my old form

[@GCGCgolfcamps]

Would like to see a video on how the hands works through the hitting zone(club parallel before impact to club parallel after impact). Seems to me there is a lot a variety after impact. Some players are rotating left wrist while others let it fold. You observations would be much appreciated. Thanks for so many great videos.

[@fit2yougolf926]

One of your best videos IMO, which says a lot because your videos are always exceptional. Your explanation of the hand path along with Gears was very clear and very helpful to me, personally. Thanks!

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it and glad it helped👊

[@andrefrojd2440]

THIS. Is pure gold! All your videos are great but this video resonated with me more than any other. Lets go 2020 driver season!

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

C'mon!👊

[@SuperMartinez4]

This is a great drill. I started doing this just a couple of days after studying technique and I am now hitting irons a lot higher and longer with better compression. By moving hands down, I am also able to keep head behind ball which in turns promotes higher ball flight. I feel like I have increased my clubhead speed and can't wait to practice technique to increase speed with my driver.

[@jothkell9173]

of the instructors I've seen, you guys are the smartest in the game right now, thanks for the content

[@78tag]

Great idea - you can bet I'll be using that drill during the hour warm-up before my next Sunday round. Sometimes these tips are more than just swing improvement thoughts - they can be confirmation that I am working on the right moves. Little by little I'm feeling a better swing attach itself to my game because of the help you guys offer. Thanks

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

78tag love how you phrased that because that’s exactly how improving your swing happens! Great job👏

[@jennvannoy7554]

I know this is a 2 year old video, but it was the missing piece for me for club path. We are starting year 3 of golfing. Much progress has been made, but was struggling not pull/slice my driver. All your content is awesome! Thanks.

[@franciskelly8503]

Awesome video. I watch so much KZbin. You explanation of the trail arm exactly like Zack Allen and the drill I’ve seen done by Stephen Deane, a disciple of Pete Cowen. Great stuff! .

[@BidenIsKing]

Love this drill! Great job guys!

[@kcct82]

Thank you so much! This drill helped my 7 year old learn how to get his arm down and in front to stop scooping the ball. It took 1 minute to do the drill and the next swing he had his hands in front with shaft lean at impact. We have been trying to get rid of his scooping for the past 3.5 months!

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Love it! They learn fast at that age👏

[@povrtsux1]

Powerful stuff. Thanks!

[@drewgwins6073]

I love this drill. Anything that encourages speed and force (especially with the big stick) is much easier to ingrain than slow methodical movements. I can't wait to try this on the range.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

We agree! Just don't use so much force that you break the shaft

[@TyroneNorthcutt]

Thank you guys. This video and the one on the step drill in the back swing were perfect for where I am at and what I was working on. This put the timing part of "dropping" my hands in perspective.

Thank you again. I really love this video. This is some of your best work IMO and I imagine took a lot to pull all the Gears data together. I remember watching it when it was released and it really challenged some of my beliefs back then which were picked up from the dominant character in golf instruction at the time.

Dont Forget to be patient, it takes a while for your brain to not only get the feeling of something but also internalize it enough to be able to do without thinking of what you’re doing (swing thoughts)

[@martinslavich4819]

Great video guys the simplest way to move the club from the top is what Ben Hogan did he visualized pulling an arrow out of the quiver, that not only extend your arms out away from your body, but it flattens your swing coming into the ball creating an inside out swing. Thank you!

Can't wait to give this a try! I am at the point where I make relatively good contact with all my clubs, and the ball is straight to a nice little cut, but they don't carry as far as they should. I've been relatively passive with the hands/arms and I think some speed from the top with the Rory drill will really help!!

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

[@markharris8853]

Thank you. I couldn’t translate the last video from feel to real. Look forward to working on this.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Let us know how it goes👍

[@dannysaiz6072]

This is a revelation (Maybe). I've been focused on staying connected and avoiding that quick arm move. I thought any such move would bring me "over the top". But now I see how that's not necessarily so IF you have the club properly shallowed. I can't wait to go outside during my lunch break and "feel" this move.

[@realchicagophill]

Pushing away your arms from your body as your upper & lower body moves forward at transition is a game changer to me. Thanks!

[@emncaity]

I swear, you guys are always worthwhile -- maybe a nitpick here or there, but nearly always solid -- but sometimes you release a vid that's above even that high standard. Several really good things going on here, but one thing that jumps out as a real finding is that overhead shot of the three pros (I'm betting you have DJ and Rory there, at least, and I think it may be 2 and 3, but it doesn't matter), you're talking about right-arm bends not only less than 90 degrees, but a _lot_ less than 90. And all three either a little laid off or a little short of parallel (which can give the laid-off look, of course) -- hard to tell from the overhead shot alone. But the point is, _distinctly_ less than 90. I played at a plus-2 to plus-4 level and taught some, too, and I always would've agreed with you about the need for the right arm not to collapse and go past 90. But to see three top players this short is a bit surprising even to me. Just from the look, I'd say these were probably irons. If so, how different is that angle with driver? Do you have that somewhere? Reminds me of how Leadbetter in the '90s was always on about staying at 90 degrees or short of it. Even had that training aid (the Right Angle, I think it was). It was one of the few commercially available aids that actually did people some good. People can say what they want about Lead -- I mean, how could a guy who once had four of the top seven players in the world coming to him possibly have any idea what he was talking about, right? -- but on points like this one, he was dead right. I wonder if he knew some of the best players were actually well _short_ of 90. Maybe so. I really could get several pages out of the other good things going on in this vid. The thing I love so much about the stuff you guys put out is that it's so completely neutral and observational, not trying to push anybody's method, just descriptive. It's the closest thing to something like Cochran and Stobbs in at least a generation, afaic.

[@everetturech799]

Interesting concept concerning the relationship of the hand swing and body turn in the downswing - George Gankas (Matt Wolfe's teacher) says to keep the hands up at the start of the downswing because a quick pull down of the hands interferes with body rotation. Your data shows that the hand speed needs to get to its maximum sooner and the Pete Cowan drill that McElroy uses demonstrates this -- get those hands moving down faster, quicker and sooner. I guess the secret (if there is one) is to get the hands moving down faster and keep the body rotation going fast too, while keeping their proper relationship. I guess Tiger Woods with his body speed was one of the few who could do both.

[@jimtakemoto7617]

Wow! I just tried it at the range with my irons. Crisp straight shots. Secret sauce drill!

[@gregcoyle8121]

Just consistently great content. How is there not millions of subscribers to this channel?

[@johnbrown6302]

Love Mike and Shawn. This video reminds me of an older video by Stephen Deane called "punch it down". Stephen is a protege of Pete Cowan and has some great swing videos. I love how Shawn was promoting the downward motion to create speed with the drill. Lots to incorporate for me in this video.

[@steveperry1344]

me too, i got the same idea from stephen deane and it works for me.

[@johnbrown6302]

Correction: Shaun...so sorry.

[@industrialpalletworx3548]

Excellent video. The drill reminds me of another drill that was used years ago and may have gone by the way side. It was you would start with split hands swing to the top and as you come down slide the hand up to meet the other at impact. There was a gimmick training aid marketed off it as well. Still a great drill. I'm still on the hips against the wall drill for hip rotation. I live in the Northeast so golf season is still a couple of months away. I will be adding this one once I can get out to the range.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

That's a good one, Chad, that we also use in lessons👊

[@Theaveragepunter1]

Great info guys. I've found concentrating on a little hip separation or squat gives me a natural flattening on the down swing. This drill gives me a bit more hand speed as well.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

👊

[@jongarrincha6106]

Agree 100 pct. Don’t know about you Chris but I also find with the increased speed it’s way easier to get the hands ahead of club head at impact which is what you strive for especially with irons.

[@donschmidt8203]

This is the best instruction site I have ever seen. Scientifically proven advice with digital graphics to convey it. Hands moving faster at the top is contrary to everything I have ever heard, yet it makes sense! You guys are amazing.
