David Leadbetter Teaches The A Swing Backswing | Golf Lessons| Golf Digest

[@garycale7270]

Followed David Ledbetter's A swing and purchase the A swing book. I dropped 12 strokes off my score the second game out. This new move is incredible and easier on my body.

[@kitkatcats3360]

Never was a big believer in Leadbetter, but this A swing has really improved my game. It works exactly as he says. It did take time for the backswing to feel normal because I would allow rotation of the club going back. My personal key is to retain the cup in the left writer THROUGHOUT the entire swing. Even though I know is flattens coming down, that thought keeps it in a better position.

[@TRaddcliff]

THANK YOU. you fixed me! i waited a week to post this as i had been having varying results from day to day. now...ive been solid for a week. thanks again.

[@headdownharris]

The most obscenely simple and miraculously simply change I've made to my swing [ever] to produce simply profound and immediate swing improvement. UFB. Super easy transition because, simply put, it just feels so natural. That's after one single range session that entailed an extraordinary experience of which I've never experienced swinging with a traditional swing. It's so simple, so natural. wow. Thanks mate. OUTSTANDING. :)!!!

[@ylsemza7623]

Excellent Video! Sorry for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (probably on Google)?

[@SuperBen7878]

I went to another web site and saw you demonstrate the split grip drill as a way to learn to keep the head of the club outside the hands. I then went to the range and hit the ball further and straighter than ever before. My son who is a scratch golfer can attest to the same.

[@Jus-Too-Smoove]

The split grip is one of the best practice methods I’ve ever applied to my training

[@eugeneday5398]

I tried this for the first time yesterday with no practice on the first par 3. After warning the others this could go anywhere as I am trying a new swing, I greened the ball approximately 15 feet short of the flag. Needless to say I used the swing the rest of the day and I haven't hit such crisp iron shots in years. I used to pull very badly, 20-30 yards sometimes. Yesterday most shots were straight, and the ones I pulled were to the left side of the green or just off the green. As far as with the driver, I kept pushing the ball a bit but my trajectory improved. I was adjusting and improving and by the end of the round half were pushes and the others were fairway. The biggest improvement to me was my iron shots and hybrid/fairway woods. I highly recommend trying this swing.

[@chezchezchezchez]

What about now?

[@lil-g4879]

All I can say is that this works, it really works. There’s only 2 things to focus on (first movement with core, and then bringing the club up), once you’ve done that, it works.

[@davidstuffle]

Great tip Mr. Leadbetter. This looks and feels right when I try it. Taking it to the course tomorrow. Thanks!

[@tonywalker7602]

What about lifting your left foot and then as in baseball a little step with the left foot to enable clearing of the hips?

[@jimhunter4999]

It works for me. Been using it since late May 2015.

I am tall and have very long arms. The A swing has really helped me shorten my swing and sync my arms with my body. This methodology is not for everyone but for my body type it definitely helps.

[@vicbalouzian8558]

I just adopted this swing for the first time; went to the range and I have to say it was at least a 70% improvement on contact after one try.

[@nicklee5324]

At the range 70%? I’m 100% at the range. 50% at the course. This means you are 35% at the course. It proves nothing!

@@nicklee5324 I’ll take it

[@mwelasemazibuko5357]

Best ever lesson I ever had,I wish to show my score card

[@RK831]

I suppose that the point of the A Swing is to get the club up on its end halfway back. It is very hard to get that shaft parallel to your spine halfway back, but trying to do so will help get it up on its end. It kind of looks like a Ryan Moore swing halfway back. I believe it is not necessary to actually get that shaft parallel to the spine halfway back, but rather this is a drill that will certainly prevent laying off, which will destroy your swing.

[@johnswanson4266]

Been using the A Swing for the last 2 weeks.I'm not perfect with the back swing but the results are just great. I'm finding more fairways

[@ST-xg3gy]

This has improved my game immensely.

[@jameswigg6902]

If you have a laid off swing then this works. It’s a feel more than an actual swing for me. If I feel the club is vertical at the top of the swing then looking at it on video it’s actually on plane. Try it if you’re a laid off swing.

[@fminbashian]

In the old days of tennis people took the racket straight back and straight through. Now everyone hits with top spin which means take the racket back high then drop it with a loop . The videos I sent you, the A swing , does this for a golf swing . You hit with loop and you'll become better than everyone.

[@golfdude6]

Is it the same for pitch shots or is the clubhead to "shut"?

[@ggkk6474]

I tried this take away and it works great....doesn't the amateur now turned pro Wolff swing with this take away?...I think Lead was teaching this way before anybody heard of Matthew Wolff!

[@brofun9543]

hey guys...I'm a three and half year golfer...been working HARD on it all that time. I poo pooed this five days ago when I first came across it. Chose to throw it out ..but, two days ago, I came across it again...decided to try it yesterday...went to the range...worked on it for half hour...then played 18 holes. My handicap is about 15....but, I hit a 78. This swing is the real deal!...now, the only issue i have is that I'm hitting my irons about ten yards further!...and they are RIGHT ON TARGET!!!...NOw, I know i don't have alot of experience...but, I probably play ALOT more than most people do!..I'm 57 years old...so...give it a shot!...it's amazing how easy this makes coming inside out and getting a nice draw on the club is!..and I'm not even doing everything right on his swing yet!...so, just sayin...and no..'im not a 'shill'..I'm a guy who loves this game!

[@joegriggsjr.6511]

+brofun How can you hit ten yards further and still hit a target? Stop dressing up the story. If it's ten yards further, that means, ten yards further than your intended target, so you should have been flying greens during your "78" round. Right? Anyway, glad you are enjoying the new swing. Keep it up.

[@brofun9543]

yes!..that's exactly right! with a full swing, my nine iron is now going nearly 140 yards..when before, I used it for anything around 125 yards..my pitching iron, I used for 100 to 110..now, it's going around 125 to 130 with a full swing! No need to accuse me of dressing anything up! I don't! AND, tho the A swing is not easy in the sense that I don't have it down yet..when I connect, it's feels right! It's easier on my back..and the club head speed seems effortless, while before, on my 'on plane' swing, it felt I had to really work hard to get any kind of club head speed. I hit a 83 and 84 respectively since then..but, both days were windy! I also bought a 54 degree lob wedge to hit those 80-100 yard shots...(it's all a work in progress!)

[@warhol200]

+brofun Thanks for your honesty. I have also been trying the A Swing with nice results. Irons have been going further. I have had problems getting solid hybrids off the deck. Feels like I am not hitting the ball "as square" as before the A Swing. Have you had any similar issues. I could just go back to my 5 & 6 irons. Thanks.

[@stackleft8998]

You hackers need to stop listening to shit like this. It's garbage.

[@stackleft8998]

If this shit was so effective then how come there are ZERO pros doing it? It's cause it's horseshit. Lead is just trying to make MORE MONEY off suckers that are not good golfers and want a quick fix. Yeah Ko was using him and fired him cause her swing went to shit. How could anyone actually hit a driver with this shit is beyond me. There is no secret, shift your weight, move off of the ball a little bit and get on your right side, shift your weight back and stay in your posture, and have a good grip. Does Rory swing like this? Fuck no. What about Dustin Johnson? One of the straightest drivers ever, Montgomerie, does he swing like this? Another straight driver Calvin Peete? Nope! No great ball strikers do this shit.

[@johnr2632]

First part of this back swing now seems to be the standard advice. Club outside hands.

[@mujeebtaj]

Is this backswing same with the driver and 3 wood ???

[@EMD_Ski]

This reminds me of Martin Ayers' "twirl" in a lot of ways, different ways if describing a very similar approach to the swing

[@readygolfer]

Eric D Yes sir. The "A" stands for Ayers.

[@EMD_Ski]

Haha, I'm sure he's negotiated royalty deals on the book as well

[@billymills314]

Although this method may seem unconventional, as a better player,who's always had a tendency to roll the forearms and get the club head behind on the way back,therefore creating an over the top,steep downswing,this helps me shallow my downswing and hit e ball on a better,more neutral flight, it does take work matching upmspeeds when its new,but then what swing changes downtown feel that way?

[@bh5606]

Not sure why this is better than a more traditional backswing.

[@chezchezchezchez]

How do you feel now?

[@Dreama40]

Been watching these You tube vids on his new A Swing and was curious but was'nt getting the FULL picture so i bought his book from Amazon and have just completed reading it. I tried his new method as best i could or as i've understood it and i have to say the results are very surprising. I'm feeling like i'm more consistent in getting to the top and my shot are coming off with a very slight fade but with lots of zip. I'm hitting my irons with a slight fade and my driver would move maybe 5-10 yards in flight but with good power. No where near a slice but very consistent and thats just my first bucket of balls, so credit where its due, this method does work, the ball does'nt lie.

[@brofun9543]

+Dreama40 Hey dreama...I just tried this two days ago..also with a bucket of balls and then 18 holes..I found the same thing...my irons were longer and more accurate...but, I find i'm hitting a slight draw...I'm with you..there is something to this swing..also, I find it's easier on my back..don't have to torque my body so hard to get power to the ball...interesting stuff here.

[@jasontroutman9845]

Will the transition flatten left wrist at impact?

[@SvingitGolf]

Did test it at the driving range. Result was shorter backswing with the club pointing at target. club stayed outside hands not behind body and dlast pure ball striking.

[@karenwalker8348]

I play of 5,worked on this for a while but couldn't take it to the course,not good unless you want to practice it for endless hours.

[@완강]

Take away motion is allright but no right shoulder external rotation and body weight involvement in that way

[@blackie75]

Reminds me of Ernie Els practice takeaway that you see on the range...sort of. I will say that his top of the back swing here looks very compact and short, there's absolutely no width in it.

[@jabo6479]

It works for me nicely because your right wrist is set for impact almost immediately then you just hang on for the ride

[@majorbama601]

a number of people are calling this hogwash, but I don't think we have enough info to know for sure.

[@ChristopherDowning]

Somewhat like Rickie Fowler's backswing (?) Not sure from that upright shaft the transition would be that easy - it's way off the idea of the butt pointing to the ball - on the other hand doing that can get you beautifully into slicing every time. The key here is going to be getting the right forearm down and back onto somewhere near the address plane of the shaft before rotating the shoulders very much - quite a difficult thing to do if you are a slicer as I was for 20 years. In other words there are no quick fixes unless you go to a Leadbetter school for the week for some intensive coaching.

[@brofun9543]

+Chris Downing Hi chris...I started golfing three and half years ago..worked my way down to about a 15 handicap...tried this swing two days ago...and I don't know if it was just a fluke with trying something new...but, my irons were TONS more accurate...I've tried to figure out why this seems easier...maybe because the club is more upright coming up..it's easier to drop it into the slot and swing inside out..(not sure...I've only done it once for 18 holes)...going to really pick this thing apart!...Oh..i hit a 78 two days ago..that was after practicing this swing for only a half hour on the range....I'll post more later this week.

[@ChristopherDowning]

You should take a look at some of Jim Waldron's videos on how the swing works if you are into learning a new way to see basics.

[@brofun9543]

thanks Chris..I'll do that! I'm always wanting to improve!!

[@me01jh]

Tried this, finally prevented my flat inside takeaway, my backswing had never looked so good. Unfortunately, this method always feels to me like my right elbow gets stuck outside my core and I lose all pre-loading in a typical Cowen 'axe drill' type swing. Was hitting a standard 7 iron 20 yards shorter. Anybody else experience this?

[@nigelskipping7941]

The way to get round this is to take your stance. Then without rotating your shoulders at all just pick the club up vertically so the club head is going towards your head. Do this with your hands only. Then incorporate that feeling into your normal back swing. This will set limits on how much to do this move. David Leadbetter doesn't tell your how much to do it. This move really only works for a square to square release ie no rolling of your wrists through impact. I personally don't use this method as I like to roll release through the ball.

[@39lloydb]

Is your left arm supposed to break down as it does in your video?

[@tarmiditumpang9663]

A simple swing, effective and efficient.

[@ToddSloanIAAN]

So the end of the grip handle never needs to point at the ball...?

[@andrewc0128]

Todd Sloan Nope. It needs to point at our right knee at the top of the swing, and at our ass in the follow through.

[@ToddSloanIAAN]

Andrew C You've found your game, perhaps then....

[@andrewc0128]

Todd Sloan Probably so ;) I was just poking fun at Leadbetter for trying to make money by telling people to do things now that he had been telling them not to do for years. As for me, I took a lesson 1 time for grip, and that was it. Now I hover around a 10 HC and that is good enough for me.

[@ToddSloanIAAN]

Andrew C Say... did Tiger Woods lose his natural way too like Nick Faldo did?

[@andrewc0128]

Todd Sloan I'm not sure what that incredibly talented numbskull is doing, but it is probably related to the size of his bank account and an ego that doesn't fit in his brain casing. If he would put on his big boy pants and quit being so dramatic then we could probably see even better competition in golf that we do now that new players are breaking some of his records.

[@Dentistmentalust]

This isn't what he told Faldo though I'm sure. I think this could really ruin your short game. Just rotate your shoulders and keep your arms together on the b/swing. He is right in a way but it is over exaggerated in what he is doing. He also said in his book all those years ago that your belly button should start turning as your hands started moving. That ruined my swing for a year, that idea. I think his ideas are a bit old fashioned now. Ok, yes he got Faldo 6 majors but I'm not sure how to be honest.

[@trafyknits9222]

What gets me about golf instruction is that well-respected teachers often have absolutely opposite claims about how to swing the club. We always hear to NEVER let the club "cross the line" at the top (even though awesome players like Nicklaus and Couples do it every time). Then DL totally says if the club crosses the line, it's okay. The reason certain humans can play golf at the pro level is nothing more than statistical inevitability; in a population of over 6 BILLION, at least 200 people will just naturally play golf better than everyone else. There's a hundred ways to swing the club.

[@deanroberts4770]

Be mindful and careful with this tip. With this takeaway concept, as the instructor says, the club is going to want to point slightly right of your target at the top. It is important you monitor that with video as you practice, so the club is not getting too exaggerated across the line. Your divots will start pointing right of your target and you will produce a massive block or sweeping hook if you are too far across the line.

[@Nhusky]

+Cornwall1888 Jack Nicklaus slouches, picks up his left heel, goes steep and across the line, and has a flying left elbow. Not very orthodox there. However, he has more majors than any other player in history. I spent $800 ($80 each) for lessons with a former Nationwide Tour player and could not get the "traditional" swing to work, even with my 21 years of playing experience and practice. My wrists would downcock and the left wrist would cup uncontrollably during the downswing no matter what we tried, and the clubhead would always come across the ball. The "A" swing lets me cup the left wrist steeply on my terms with a short armswing and good shoulder turn and then gradually uncup during the downswing to a flat left wrist at impact, impact pretty much straight, shallow, and solid. With this I have a much more controlled lag and release. I was skeptical, and I don't pay much credence to celebrity. But I'm not above trying new things, and I'm glad I gave this a chance.

David is being left behind by modern golf swing fundamentals, so of course he has to come up with something new that appeals to folks who can not make a proper back swing.

So much for her parents being so protective of her.

[@deannanance8843]

David didn't ruin Michelle Wei. Her parents set unrealistic expectations of her winning on the PGA tour. Her injuries made it difficult to keep playing at that level and no tour player wins all the time. They all go through low spells where they aren't always on the leader board every tournament. That is how golf is!

[@johngolfi]

Great job there David, you just ruined your own swing theory. What I understand is that this swing is supposed to be simple and when you yourself state that it is VERY DIFFICULT to get the club that far outside your hands... you´ve pretty much missed the mark... And the b.s about that you don't need to practice much is just what it is, b.s. David don't mention this in this video, but he does in some other ones. No matter which swing you use, you need to practice, that is the cold hard truth...
