Pausing it at 6 minutes or so. “The swing ends at the start” really resonates with me because I’ve felt this feeling before. It’s like the second you snatch it away, you’ve got to be thinking transition and swing through immediately. If I didn’t feel it before I would not understand him lol

[@JonSmith-c6d]

Somewhere in that 17 minute interview there is about 60 seconds that contains the most eloquent description of the golf swing that I have ever heard. It flows in one continuous direction - brilliant. It’s the missing link to a lot of what many other contributors on BBG have been saying for some time. Move with the forces and not in opposition to them. Im willing to embrace anything that will rid instruction of the position golf mindset because it clearly doesn’t work. Excellent video - more pls.

[@BEBETTERGOLF]

If it went in two or more directions no one would be able to do it. Another way of saying that is that people who move the club in one direction have a chance but people that pull it one way and then another will always struggle. thin kof a car going around a indy car track. Yes the driver has to turn the wheel sometimes but they NEVER STOP the CAR and head in another direction.

So much so that I had the best range session in forever , only for our monthly medal to be rained off yesterday… looking forward to taking this set of ideas to the course later. For me the swing has never felt so good, especially the beginning of the swing and ease at which it starts. Looking forward to more with Martin

Gain a repeatable swing learn to shape shots on the range. Work from the green backwards, hole every putt use one ball. Learn chipping learn pitching. Golf is about scoring, know your yardages with each club thats more important than a 200yd 7 i. The best miss shots you will too, you score well by turning three shots into two so develop a good short game. I'd like to see more videos on yardage control and its importance. The golf swing in my opinion is one motion don't interfere with it with thoughts. Good video guys

Stay tuned we r getting it sorted. This is still groundwork I think

[@walteryu9050]

I have watched long drive Dan's videos on the stretch. And It helped me understand what Marty is saying. I personally interpret Marty's orbit as Dan's sling. Swing the club back hard, reacting to the peak of the backswing. Dan uses a body stretch to return the club back to the ball. Marty has a bit more feel and visual based explanation. Visualise it as an orbit. I have personally tried to visual a comet and a gravity sling golf swing and have struck a consecutive flushed irons at the range. Would be helpful if there are some drills or physical movement to help us viewers understand what Marty is saying. Have checked out Marty's stuff and he is not a fan of practical stuff it seems 😅..loads of theory

[@robnieth4190]

I can tell you from experience to get the club in motion using a trigger in your feet and let it travel naturally instead of “taking” the club is where to start. After that it’s trapping the club properly in the hands so it travels without being taken.

[@WishonPGA]

Thanks for the great content. I've felt all along that Mr. Ayers is a genius and very courageous for bucking the conventional wisdom (a Rock, so to speak). Percy Boomer said that the waggle is the swing in miniature. A good waggle would include the change of direction. What I take from that in relation to Mr. Ayers concept is that the same forces are at play. The Ayers approach would be less visible to the naked eye, but with the same effect. That, is an expression of what is to come. I've taught that the swing begins with an anticipation of the change of direction and thus, the change happens much earlier that one would think. Reflecting on the waggle, I think it died for most people once the science of digital study of the swing started taking over. The swing became a more anticeptic movement rather than a more artistic expression of a golfer's images and feels. Perhaps Martin has some thoughts on that and the utility of a waggle as a rehearsal of the sequence of movements.

[@TempleQuests]

Right on

[@MartinAyersGolf]

The waggle is a “fractal” of the golf swing. Precisely as you said, it includes the entire thing. The whole action in miniature. That’s why despite it not being taught, it is still performed by many of the best players.

[@SwingLowLeft]

@@BEBETTERGOLF Martin is good people. Teaches positionless golf. Be warned. It’s an addictive way to move the club. I imagine the baton drill is perhaps a more intuitive way to teach what he once termed the sling and kinda backs the body into a point where the reversal and containment move ( or sitz) are pretty well automated. Tell him the guy who dubbed the stiff dork drill says hello. (Stiff dork has a much different connotation in Australia than it does in the states.) Interested to see where he takes you. Been watching his stuff since he started with Bow to Crossbow description and Kings of Leon soundtracks.

Motion and movement are literally synonyms of one another. So, what’s the definition of a synonym? Cambridge Dictionary defines it as: A word or phrase that has the same or almost the same meaning as another word or phrase in the same language. The pedanticism is strong in this one.

[@MartinAyersGolf]

It's taken me a little while to understand Martin's instruction. I've mainly been confused. I've resonated most with the teachings of Manuel de la Torre, and this seemed the polar opposite. But recently I started to process what he's saying and it's strangely very aligned with Manuel. They teach what a hold swing is and how to let it go, not the parts of your body that move in some sequence to get the club to look like something. I've taken this to the range, and have developed more power and better strikes than I've ever had, with no thought of body parts.

Officer: "I clocked you at 111mph" Golfer: "I was in motion but I had no movement" Officer: "So if I put this bullet in motion without movement, we are good?" Golfer: "Finally, someone gets it!" I sincerely asked for written definitions of MA golf motion & movement. Took a stab at them myself...reply was I had the gist but the details wrong. So far the m vs m concept is not definable in words, math, or physics. This may be the actualization of the famous Seinfeld bit, "a show about: ".

[@BEBETTERGOLF]

It’s simple. Put a bicycle upside and spin the front tire. The wheel is spinning ( in motion) but the hub is stable / not moving. If the hub wobbles, the motion of the tire is disturbed. Conversely if the rim is bent, the hub wobbles If one side of the wheel is heavier than the hub will wobble. Faster will only make it wobble more. The golf Part of this to get is that the part that doesn’t move isn’t the golfer or the club but the center/ hub of the entire system. This is a point somewhere between the golfer and the swinging club. That part doesn’t “move” much at all during the transition and downswing. Think of a binary star. 2 equal mass stars spinning around each other . gravity pulls them together and an equal amount of centrifugal force pulls them apart. The are in motion but a point in the center of the spinning stars is not moving. Martin is saying the golfer should endeavor to swing the club and moving their body without the hub of the system working. Think of Scotty scheffler, Martin says Scotty’s body moves a lot but the hub of his entire swing system (body, club, everything) is probably the most stable (not moving) on tour.

[@3n2a2]

​@@BEBETTERGOLF Thanks for the detailed explanation and analogy. Since it's outside you, not sure what you can do to feel it or know how much it is wobbling or fix it...I presume all but elite ball strikers wobble. My theory is you could put a 'have not' golfer in a good impact position (hips rotated, rear knee, heal, etc) and closely do a downswing in reverse (taking up clubhead very quickly)...and come the closest to getting them to a "have". Try it and see if it doesn't result in solid shots. Truly begin at the critical impact point and use the same path out and back. There will be plenty of power. A "have not" has either never been there or only gets there by accident. As MA says, nearly impossible to create backswing positions to get back to a place you have never been. BTW, Scottie_Scheffler is a pretty good audio golf thing to say for driving... especially if you tend to be to quick starting down.

@@BEBETTERGOLF It's time to run this by Dr. Kwon. In both your examples you have the same mass, speeds, and radius. In golf you have extremely unequal of all... a trebuchet with an extra pivot joint at the wrists (variable spoke length). I am picturing you in your garage making a tilted trebuchet with a way to either fix the hub or let it move. 🙂 Count Yogi video is back up on YT. He hits a ball with a clubhead attached to hose, rope, chain, multiple hinges...anything. The key is to have the mass extended to the full radius of the arm / shaft so you can feel it and direct it. Dr K rope drill and whippy shaft training club will help you not need to move the hub to make contact.

yeah the swing starts way before the club moves. this is confirmed by swing catalyst. Every GOOD player makes a few tiny pressure shifts before the club actually moves back. These tiny pressure shifts are always the same. The are essentially little swings. When the last little swing (pressure moves in the feet as seen on swing cat) ends the actual swing starts which is a larger version of the little pressure pattern then were making pre swing. you even seen this with players that look like the are standing still before the club goes back. with the classic players you see it much more apparently look at HOGANtrevino, player or jack. They are doing shadow swings (the pressure moves) before the swing.

Most 'lessons' these days are a scam. There is no secret. And when it comes to equipment the number one issue is the shaft - its all about the shaft. Stop using a pro stiff shaft or you will never get lag you can control and never learn when to start it and when to release it.

is he talking about manifesting our golf shots?

[@chrisedwards8668]

The two golf coaches that are considered to have had the biggest impact on the game are John Jacobs and Butch Harmon . I wonder what they would make of this ? The great John Jacobs described the golf swing as two turns and a swoosh . I've never heard Butch or John talk about Haley's comet . If you use the Sherlock Holmes maxim of eliminating all other possibilities and what ever is left must be true . I have come to the two following conclusions , either Martin doesn't know what he's talking about , or Martin does know what he's talking about but has no idea how to explain his ideas . I am quoting him directly here '' The start of the swing is the end , You begin at the end , It's almost as thou you end it which creates it . '' This reminds me of the following Ladies and Gentlemen, skinny and stout, I’ll tell you a tale I know nothing about; The Admission is free, so pay at the door, Now pull up a chair and sit on the floor. One fine day in the middle of the night, Two dead boys got up to fight; Back to back they faced each other, Drew their swords and shot each other. A blind man came to watch fair play, A mute man came to shout “Horray!” A deaf policeman heard the noise and Came to stop those two dead boys. He lived on the corner in the middle of the block, In a two-story house on a vacant lot; A man with no legs came walking by, and kicked the lawman in his thigh. He crashed through a wall without making a sound, into a dry creek bed and suddenly drowned; The long black hearse came to cart him away, But he ran for his life and is still gone today. I watched from the corner of the big round table, The only eyewitness to facts of my fable; But if you doubt my lies are true, Just ask the blind man he saw it too .

I wonder what this thinks of Mac O’grady?

[@Jackybug]

I don’t think he ever answered your question. What do the pros do that the amateurs don’t do at the start to create lag.

[@DanRoach]

I’m really disappointed with how your edits mocked Martin, also how the comments on here treat him. I know this wasnt necessarily done to be nasty but it does take away from his credibility which is really wrong. His explanations really resonated with me and I do credit your channel for showing him to me. I am genuinely playing the best golf of my life after taking the time to understand what he’s saying. He uses different verbiage because obviously the regular approach doesn’t seem to land with a lot of people (case in point: me). It took until I found him to really conceptualise it correctly and now the swing is really simple in my mind.

I thought it would be the Interstellar movie but I know it is more like the TenneT movie. Thankfully it is not Oppenheimer

Do it! Fly him to California

What..?

[@grantnakagawa9033]

Thanks for having Martin on. Been following him since “Secret of the Dirt” days w/ Elk,Maves, and Jackie.

Basically just stand over your ball and say “there I just shot 3 under” and walk away. Easy.
