I have been struggling to do the pump drill correctly for SO long. The club was always moving past parallel to the ground, and the club was usually parallel to the target line rather than a bit behind my hands as I would like. After watching this video, I began keeping my back to the target during the pump drill. The club is now above parallel to the ground and the club head is behind my hands. Thank you!

[@henniebogan1966]

The pump drill is exactly what I needed to see to help with my casting of the club. Can't wait to start working on this on the range. I plan on getting started at home to begin the muscle memory process. Thanks for the channel and all of the great instruction.

[@jasonpenney8658]

You guys are the best! The Gears hip movement, pros vs ams was a game changer for me. I have hit those positions before, striking the ball very well but changed since I thought it was incorrect vs what I was taught in 2010.

[@LelandGaunt007]

This is a great video. My long iron ball striking has been really poor lately and I think I just picked up on something I know I'm doing wrong but couldn't quite figure out how to stop. I'm looking forward to trying some of these drills on the range and seeing if it helps. Thanks for the tip!

[@chilleistgolf5417]

These dudes are great. Been following for a long time, great video.

[@Chad85er]

This is a very timely video as this is something I’ve been trying to correct in my swing. I’ve watched all your videos recently about releasing the angle in the trail arm on the downswing but I have a hard time doing this while maintaining my wrist angle to the area around the back hip. Any thoughts on this? Appreciate all the content you guys put out.

[@streetsoundselectro124]

Thanks for the help, im in the UK and struggle with the dreaded casting couch!! Lose distance and need to be more consistent

[@angeloc700]

Great video and great drills. I suffer from the first problem. I would see the club bounce at the top of my backswing on video but couldn’t figure out why. Thanks!!

[@prycealderson9352]

My casting caused me to try a lot of the wrong remedies trying to get more compression and lower ballflight. Insidious! Great video.

[@alanclark2587]

Great info, I will keep you updated on my sway, cast, chest spin, and open face curse. Everything I try makes it worse and then I'm back to 5 to 10 bad shots per round. Prey for me.

[@djp3525]

I practiced the Justin Rose pump drill today as suggested at the range. 2 things I noticed: it really makes you stay centered on top of the ball and swing in in a downward slope to impact . Great drill!

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

It's a great drill that's been around a long time showing there's nothing really new in the swing😊

[@PhilZim]

Hi, i really like the pump drill you showed. One thing I am always struggling to understand is how the lead hip moves in that first pump motion. I definitely suffer from too much slide and therefore lagging the arms behind me and then scoop the club eventually. Do i have to focus on my left hip moving out of the way already during that pump? Or do you really just move the arms down and have the hips basically parallel to the target line? Thank you so much for your input!

[@aaronharrod2096]

Man the tee drill is gonna help me big time. Excellent explanation.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Awesome!

[@rickmiller8893]

I need to work on the Dustin Rhodes drill myself.

[@robbosch3449]

Hey guys...thanks for another great video. One thing I would love see a video for is "staying connected". This is a common phrase you hear regarding proper takeaway. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Should I feel constant pressure between my biceps and pecs throughout the swing? That seems restrictive, but I can understand why that would lead to better ball striking (less potential for excess movement). As always, thanks for all you do :)

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

DO NOT try to stay connected. You're exactly right, it is restrictive and the good swings don't do it. We've shown why in a few videos, here's one of them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4S5e5yGbZqYiLc

[@barrynorris828]

Hello, I have the slide across problem (middle example in video), I've now realised it's because my left arm stays pinned to my upper chest at the top. I'll be doing the pump drill at the range later to try and cure that. I like the way you identify possible/potential problems and then give drills to solve them. Thank you.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

You're not alone with keeping that arm pinned, Barry. Just being aware of it is most of the battle👊

[@cubfan69kmz85]

Question for you guys regarding recentering and the problem of reverse pivot. In working on re centering I noticed that I was actually bumping my lower half target side which looked a lot like a reverse pivot. Is it just a matter of not overdoing the recentering? I noticed that when you did the second drill there was no recentering done. You came to the top, stopped then bumped the hips.

[@howiekarasick3892]

That was a nice video. I wonder if it’s casting.. if you throw it from the top but you keep the right wrist hinged all the way to the ball....

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Doesn't much sound like a throw.

[@tomkeller9991]

Great video and tips on my worst move..the cast. I also can’t seem to get my hips rotation timed/connected to the downswing. Any way to connect the second casting drill with hip rotation?

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

yep, do them very slowly (MUCH slower than you think) until you get the sequence right. Then allow speed to slowly go up, but only if you can keep the sequencing you want.

[@TheTurfrex]

Great video! One question. Didn't Jones, Nicklaus etc... keep their arms up in backswing for as long as possible and pull the club down with a body shift(left heel plants on ground) and leave the arms out of it for as long as possible? I hope this makes sense..

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

They certainly shifted but I don't see them leaving the arms out of it.

[@tommoholub]

When pulling your arms down from the top of the backswing... is the direction of the pull straight down to the ground? Or is there a target you could suggest we pull the hands toward? I've heard left thigh?

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Great question, Tom... the pull is in 3 dimensions but we're all used to seeing the swing from face on or down the line. From face on, it curves out away from the target. From DTL, it's pretty much vertical for the first several inches.

[@ronrieger1017]

Of all the pro golfers you've worked with I am curious to know what is a true release. Do you have a video concerning the release through impact?

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

[@mitchy7051]

Hi Guys - really appreciate having you share these awesome tips and videos. i was curious is there any way you can do a video on how the takeaway would be seen from the golfers point of view at address? when i do mirror work the club looks good but when i am over the ball my perception of the club, shaft and my hands is very skewed, especially when the clubs get longer. ie during the take away, from my perspective the hands appear like they are going away from me, but when i check the mirror the club head/shaft is pitching up the elbow plane nicely. i hope this makes sense.

[@shaunwebb3766]

Mitch Y great idea!!!

[@delmaryennie2061]

Gentlemen, I have a question. Do you, as you are coming through the impact zone have a FEELING that you are going to hit the ball with the back part or hazoel of the club? I let the shoulders bring the club around and that is the move that squares the club. Am I wrong, because if I try to square the club earlier I end up pulling the shot and over squaring the club face. I find I even do this with my chip shots too.

[@tylerfj24]

feel as if your backhanding the ball (not pointing your glove at the ball) but the back of your glove hand must be facing the target to have a square face (if your grip is correct. so i feel like i am backhanding the ball

Hey fellas. Every video has made a big difference to my golf. I had given up until I started watching your videos especially the ones using the gears. You debunked a whole heap of myths I had been following. I gained distance, contact feels amazing and my major miss has gone from right to left. I'm even playing and practicing less to get that happening. Bunkers have still got me stumped. Why does the swing have to change so much from a pitch or chip shot? Surely the club can do the change for us these days?

[@sashmaster3433]

Chip and pitch arent really different, the club does almost the same. When pitching, you just swing more and everything else will follow naturally (if you relax urself).

[@raddpetersdc]

@@sashmaster3433 thanks. I was meaning why everyone seems to teach the bunker swing so different from everything else and why it can't just be like a pitch/chip swing? Thoughts?

[@sashmaster3433]

@@raddpetersdc beacuse if you chip bunker shot, you risk bad distance and spin control. Just play it like a pitch, hit the sand 2 inches behind the ball. Important is also very wide stance and keeping your right heel on the ground (rolling of the heel during follow through). You can open club face a bit and set the shaft more shallow to the ground (like if you wanted to put the hosel on the ground first). And also dig your feet into the sand (that is the secret 😂😂)

[@drake7077]

should I cast the driver to hit up on it?

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Not the best plan, Bob. You might get a little more up on it, but you'll be giving up control of your loft.

[@UKBLUE1]

I feel there is a 4th. I tend to turn my torso before releasing the club. If the right shoulder turns instead of drops, it's to late to save it and get the on to our path. Any suggestions?

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

[@UKBLUE1]

Thank you. Your right. I just need to drill that more. Feel like I'm keeping my back to the target longer, letting my arms drop. I was called a torso swinger by Dean Rymoth if you know who he is. Use to be instructor on golf channel. Thanks much Eric!

[@76MUTiger]

Arms first vs. turn first. Lotsa controversy. One school says start torso rotation first, turning chest into left bicep, and later blasting left arm off the chest. Like swinging an axe... body goes first, arms follow and accelerate. Here you say arms drop first, shallowing club, then rotation goes. Please discuss this in more detail or point me to a video you have already made on the topic. Thanks!!!

[@ggkk6474]

After 269 thumbs up their are 10 down?.....must be a bunch of hacks with some mixed with jealous instructors ......the dudes are awesome.

[@eddieelfakir5189]

I would think coming over the top would be the no# 1 reason for casting

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

You get a lot of in-to-out hooks who cast too

[@eddieelfakir5189]

Athletic Motion Golf oh wow...never thought of that. Do u have any drills on KZbin that helps u get in the “slot” on your downswing? I’m working on the drill where u just drop the club and arms when you’re at the top of your backswing. Thanks for videos man, helped my game

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@@eddieelfakir5189 The drill you're doing is excellent at doing just that. This is very similar: instagram.com/p/BojuvyBFaaD/

[@eddieelfakir5189]

Athletic Motion Golf thanks a lot for taking the time and sending me that video. That’s the drill that I’ve been working on. I’m glad because now you pretty much just verified that I’m on the right track. Thanks Again !!!!

[@nedgermany]

This did not help. I’m beginning to think nothing can help for someone who learned and trained the cast. I really think the word cast comes from the fact at the bottom, it’s a casting motion, like if you are fishing and need to get it underneath a low branch. If you have ever done that, you know what I mean. That sudden braking is what is baked into my swing. I’ve watched every video. Tried every teaching aid. Yeah I can swing slow and not cast. I can get a nice piercing trajectory and my 7 iron flies about 130. I can hit it 160 if I cast. Once I try and speed it up, the cast comes back with a vengeance. I’m beginning to think that those who cast are beyond help. I’ve can bow the left wrist but if I brake to get that speed,. That now just flips when the body stops. There seriously is nothing on the entire internet that has helped
