This video is probably the most trippy yet. I was tought the opposite of this. Boy, not invading the space is a huge ahh haa moment. This combined with the upper spirals PULLING the hip complex's. The frickin Pelvis doesn't ACTIVELY rotate. Sorry just tripped out this morning.

Yes they don’t realise the « swing » like a throwing , a sling motion , and their minds are polluated by position ……………

[@mikehale7511]

Great video and understand the need for the space. The Big Lateral how do prevent this from being a Big Sway off of the ball ?

[@elitegolfschools]

Make sure you maintain lip flexion while moving laterally

[@jbplunkett1]

What a wonderful explanation of pressure shift and dynamic motion. David Lee of Gravity Golf was a leader of this balanced motion concept and you have integrated the idea into the modern ,powerful, unforced golf swing. Genius, thank you.

Oh we love vertical force, but in a certain way and at a certain time! If you check out our driver distance video you’ll see us speaking to three different forces, including vertical force

[@joeola72]

Another great video from you guys! I have been watching numerous different KZbin golf channels but since I discovered your channel I've only watched yours, you break it down so nice and in the end ties it all together. Keep up the good work 👍

[@elitegolfschools]

Fantastic! And please keep us posted on anything you may have questions on! 🙏🙏

[@dwightrhodes581]

Are there any other drills that will help learn this move?

[@elitegolfschools]

For sure! Any drop/hip flexion exercise is where I would suggest starting 🙏

[@divotdigger247]

Interested to see a video from you guys on the body setup at the start of the swing. In particular, I'm interested in how you would like to see the pelvis set up. I know GOATA is big on back chain dominance, and in some of your drills it seems like you guys favour anterior pelvic tilt, however I'm not sure whether setting up with APT is a good idea and could lead to some lower back issues (jumping and tilting) e.g. Zalatoris.

[@elitegolfschools]

Great suggestion! It will be up on our wall of ideas! It’s getting a bit crazy on that white board lol 😂

[@michelbourbeau5604]

Wow I’ve been working on this move at the driving range and it works beautifully. In your video you explain in details what I was looking for and working on. Thank you I can’t wait what back to the practice ground to work on this. 👌😎

[@ryanm4964]

ive really worked on this exact feel over the past year. it is the most important thing to understand imo. get a medicine ball and just do the pivot move over and over and it'll click for you. great video, extremely good explanation.

[@elitegolfschools]

Right on and totally agree with the medicine ball exercises 🙏🙏

[@davidtsow]

If I properly create space, would that allow me to hit an aggressive draw without worrying about the ball moving left?

[@elitegolfschools]

If done properly yes!

[@elitegolfschools]

In our opinion, the chest’s rotation is the ultimate face stabilizer 🙏

[@user-ot3zk5me5l]

At 8:45 we pivot on the trail leg?

[@elitegolfschools]

@@user-ot3zk5me5l as the player stays in flexion and rotates, the sacrum will swivel away from target fairly substantially… which we refer to as a trail side pivot

[@3putt548]

This is going to take some doing but I know it will payoff. I have a very slow backswing and I’m thinking that will good to ingrain the sequencing you show. Good stuff!

[@elitegolfschools]

Right on! Keep us informed as you work through some of these principles!

[@patrickholland3994]

Hmmm. Interesting

[@elitegolfschools]

@@patrickholland3994 right on!

[@maxdre]

the sequence took me a good 20x and a step by step motion drill to get comfortable with but once i did, i never felt such a free flowing, body safe swing in my life. The results so far are decent as I continue to drill this home. I didn't hit the 'big bad miss.' One question tho- you're saying the pivot point on the downswing is the trail hip, but why isn't it more of a 'pulling feeling' from the front hip as we've been taught from forever ago?

[@elitegolfschools]

Great news!! Keep grinding my man! Also, the lead hip does ‘pull’ in a way to bounce spiral lines. The main locomotion for rotation in our system is through the upper spiral line

[@angeloc700]

You two are really great. I learned about Elite Golf from Milo, and it's clear why he showcased your methods. They take a little bit of effort (and a lot of practice) to understand, but once you get it, nothing but crisp and pure strikes follow. And the distance isn't too shabby 😂! I have long legs with a really short torso, so creating space/sidebend was always difficult. With the correct methods, creating space is easy!! Thanks for helping this weekend hack enjoy the game!

[@elitegolfschools]

Absolutely fantastic! So happy to hear your success and please keep us posted on your progress 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@grahamjones7371]

As a former hacker and observer of hackers! the No 1 reason why they have no space in the impact area is a mental one! They are terrified of embarrasing themselves by missing/topping,duffing etc the Ball there no 1 priority is to hit,usually at the ball I solved this problem early on by working on golf related co-ordination drills eg clipping range peg with continuous 1/2 swings feet close together,the doing it with eyes shut! Plus every good golfer that ever lived can bounce a ball on a wedge,i learnt too! Then they can fully benefit from your great teaching i have!

[@elitegolfschools]

Fantastic!

[@gregkump9719]

It can get complicated, but you guys explain it to a point of each individual movement. Now that can be paralyzing if you don’t look at the big the big picture. Well done 👍

[@elitegolfschools]

I think it is only a matter of time when you will have overhead cameras to show what you are teaching. Thank you for your work.

[@elitegolfschools]

That’s probably the case lol 😂 thank you for the kind words 🙏

[@joyehsan6928]

When you talk about the hit instead of swing, it seems right hand plays a significant role during the impact. I was taught to take the right hand off completely and I was swinging ok just with my left hand. When I try to enage my right hand, my swing breaks down( I start to pull with my right hand). Hope you would show us some drill to eradicate right hand pulling.

[@elitegolfschools]

Get the energy into the club head rather than the grip. Still need to unload that sucker even if the trail hand is involved 🙏

[@J_A_M_]

Why would this be absolute money for me 8 through lob, but the longer the iron i get bunched up behind the ball?

[@elitegolfschools]

Probably need to get pressure back up on lead side. Also, super easy for players to try to launch those lower lofted clubs high and inappropriately try to launch them. Hit those clubs low baby

[@J_A_M_]

@elitegolfschools ahhh that launch it low does seem counter to the feel I remember. Will try next range session, thank you!

[@TheGHINger]

You guys don’t ever talk about the feet and ground pressure being the cause of rotation and the pivot. Fair to say in your model that the lower half is a passenger being brought along by the upper half (except for the pelvic drop)? Nowadays with all of the focus on ground reaction forces, pressure plates, and distance I find this to be the ONLY concept I have questions about after watching all of your content, and I oscillate between the two swing models (use the ground as the engine vs the chest). Any thoughts (or a video) would be awesome. Thanks, guys!

[@elitegolfschools]

You just created our next video 😉 stay tuned over the next month!

More gold. A great explanation of what the lead leg should be doing in this pattern. Like TJ I get the odd hosel Olazabal when swinging slowly, or when warming up. Looking at my video footage it’s when that lead leg goes down in the takeaway.

Thank you. The timing is excellent as I was having mixed results with a focus on recentering. I would have some excellent, as good as I could hit it, shots mixed in with some of those catastrophic shots getting dumped under (stuck) and off balance. I already grabbed a club from the garage and will be doing some rehearsals. I was wondering if I was moving too much laterally and it was causing some problems with low-point. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@allama875]

I wish I would have done better in Calculus class :0 The backswing pivot is blowing my mind. Do you move laterally to the right and feel weight in the back foot but still feel the pivot point is the left hip socket?

[@elitegolfschools]

Yep! Exactly!

[@GaryBendinger]

Riley/TJ great video. Quick question. As you use trail hip and other joints to turn back does the right leg lock or stay flexed.

[@elitegolfschools]

It definitely won’t go into full extension, however, a bit of extension compared to the address position will typically happen

[@goranpettersson7757]

Swedish golf instructors always tell us to move the hip first followed by shoulders. The hips should go out towards the ball. Is this wrong?

[@elitegolfschools]

It’s not necessarily wrong, just a different way of teaching the golf swing. Many ways to skin a cat, we just have our preferences 👍

[@joevelte4252]

on the forward swing do you laterally move sideways and stay back from the ball or sideways and forward toward the ball? In other videos you seemed to suggest lateral and forward a bit.

[@elitegolfschools]

On that 45 degree is our preference 👍

[@texaswaldo61]

After dropping into the lead ball of foot the away movement of the chest is all passive? Feeling the club shooting out is totally new to me.

[@elitegolfschools]

No no, the chest rotation is very active, the release of the club is passive 🙏

[@jayschwarz4365]

This video reminded me of the ancient "Trail Foot Back" drill that coaches like Malaka always talked about.

[@ThrifTeeGolf]

I'm curious to know which hand or arm is more dominant in the swing when releasing. More left or more right (right handed golfer) ?

[@elitegolfschools]

Honestly, everyone will feel a bit different here. Most accomplished players ‘feel’ the release from each arm

[@vinnynz]

[@olleedsbacker3015]

Hi guys awesome video as usual. If I have my pivot point more in the center (not left hip) as opposed to the right hip (not moving laterally so much in the takeaway), what consequences would that lead to ( like low point, path issues or other, less power…..)? Maybe this is a too widespread question to ask.
