“Every golfer in the world should do this drill…”

👇👇👇 Let me know whether or not you'll give this a go! 👇👇👇

[@wjfowlston8098]

Rob McGarr I’ve been trying the baseball swing from Peter finch’s channel and it works like a dime. It takes away technical thoughts as it just about feel along one plain. I hope this is a method which will help me to get to single figures before the end of the season

[@neilbennett9028]

Rob McGarr I’m defo gonna give this a go. I tried yesterday’s knee drill on course today for 9 holes just playing irons. Haven’t tried woods yet. Haven’t struck my 4 iron that well off the tee and fairway for years! A few errant shots but that’s gonna happen when you try something new! 👌🏼👍🏼

[@RobMcGarr]

@@CrazyMineCuber Why is that?

[@jandekker6055]

Tried yesterday's knee thing right away, and felt a difference - a lot more clean hits than usual. This feels like the next step. I do all sorts of things wrong, including hanging back, not rotating enough and gripping too tight, so this feels like it's speaking to me. Exciting!

[@marklopez5382]

CrazyMineCuber I’m curious to why you think it’s horrible advice

[@videom]

Malaska fan here...love Liam's instruction EXCEPT at 29:10. Liam seems not to understand momentum...you MUST throw the club head at the ball from the top (do NOT lay the club down!!! or you will get stuck like Liam says but for the very OPPOSITE of what he says. Liam is great for thinking turn during the swing but search for Malaska on how to start the swing...put these two together and watch your HCP go down. I just shot 72, 74 and 76 (Im a 10 HCP) on a fairly long track by just adding Malaska with Liam teachings!!!! Thanks for posting this great video and glad you're back!!!!!!

[@grahamjones7371]

Im sure Malaska technique works especially with non sportsman/athletes or people mired in swing thoughts/positions/lag etc But i think what Liam is teaching is throw the whole club not just the clubhead.Im self taught 5 hcp and only person ive taught is my new GF! But for years ive said golf swing BB batter throws bat at pitcher or tennis player uses 2handed forehand body with serve arms Ive only just discovered Liam but have been working on something similar left side and step drills and using my internal/rot cuff muscles to power my soft arms like any good thrower, leading to 3 over in my last club medal and just won the club mixed knock out and im 65yo! But now im going to add smash bag/towel drills so here comes my 1st sub par round!

[@alecfortune815]

"swing thoughts don't work, swing feelings work" absolutely loved that.

[@jimmypeach8838]

I just figured this one out on course the other day... that thoughts are only the beginning you have to actually feel and do the thoughts not just think them like I have been guilty of

[@jjd9990]

That's some great information, that's probably one of the best lessons I've seen on KZbin

[@Crazydude409]

Just wanted to come back and comment on this. Saw this when it first came out, but didn’t think too much of it. My club does a weekly clinic an I had my pro take a look at my swing. Said everything was looking perfect except for my sequencing. I remembered this step drill and practiced it and today now that it’s become less of a swing thought and more part of my normal swing, I have never hit the ball so pure in my life. Consistency is worlds better and the powers transfer is unreal. Thanks for coming back to golf Rob! We all missed you and you’ve been a huge help to my game!

[@RobMcGarr]

That's awesome to hear mate! Think Liam deserves the credit, not me - I know he's been reading the comments so sure he'll be chuffed to hear that too!

[@strummer9837]

Liam is a Breath of fresh air Rob, great to see you swinging it so well.

[@pierinozitola9032]

watched loads of swing videos over the years and this is the best lesson I've seen, simple and effective, great video guys. you've set the bar high keep up the good work

[@theblackrabbit2626]

The second (now!) best golf swing tip video on KZbin. Great stuff. Thanks fellas.

[@ChristopherDowning]

More like this Rob. These were spot on . And Liams lesson is so innovative and original

[@cheeks9596]

This is going to change the way I approach the game. No stress and lots of speed. I can't wait to have a few weeks of paractice under my belt. Good luck on your journey.

[@Weplaygolf]

Nice to see that you are back with new golf videos! Keep 'em coming!

[@stevehayes148]

Really found this so eye opening. I could not work out why I kept pulling the ball. Your video is spot on thanks Steve Melbourne Australia

[@ksuno1stunner]

I have a good feeling about this channel. Subbed to a bunch of golf channels but always find myself clicking your vids, before and since your return. Keep it up and welcome back to KZbin!

[@sonkepatow9640]

Thank you Rob, thank you Liam. Great lesson.

[@jamiebrowne5161]

Liam is spot on,,,, I’ve been trying to do this for quite a while.... I’m defo adding these drills into my game!!!

[@jackyang3736]

The sound of Liam's swing is totally different than yours @30:53 to 31:16. Liam made it looks so simple and easy. Thanks for sharing your great lesson with us. 2022, April 20.

[@RobMcGarr]

So is the camera position 🤷‍♂️ I find the people who are best at anything make it look easy! 🤩

[@jackyang3736]

I finally got the basic capability to adopt Liam's swing, before that, I can't even understand, not mention duplicate. Thanks again. Wish you all the best. PS. It's easier to use and repeated. And very powerful if I have done it right. A 65 old man with dreaming still. Haha.😂😂😂😂😂

[@Charlyky]

Thank you for this video. Brilliant lesson and I’m excited about implementing these drills. BIG TAKEAWAY “under pressure, one cannot think the golf swing”

[@harvey785]

Looks a great drill for me in my garden...I'll definitely be trying it!

[@singledigitgolf9301]

We all need a Liam Robinson!! What a great guy! Impressed with both of you - thank you for the inside look in to your strategies and tactics..

[@andymoore7854]

Well done with the 2 video s rob Liam 2 lesson are proper quality

[@henryatkinson3960]

Love the golf videos coming back mate. Keep it up. Good lessons all round

[@johnnyhicks2386]

I have seen many golf videos, but this is the best instructional one on the bodys rotation in the golf swing as I always tend to hit the ground before the ball.

[@MrBadassbuddha]

Quality Rob, and Liam, just got in from playing this evening, and just doing the stable knee had me hitting some of the purest shots of my life. Can't wait to add the rest of the drills in, cheers boys 😁👌

[@JackattackZA]

Really interested in trying this, get us a driver lesson going also. Thanks man and welcome back!

[@ZhaustEzine]

This is actually really good and corrects a habit that plagues so many amateur golfers

[@jsmith7888]

[@jamesross720]

This is pure gold. Glad your golf content is back Rob.

Quality content Rob. Liams dropping some golden knowledge here

[@levituddenham6441]

Amazing lesson rob, liam sounds like a real nice lad that would help you as much as possible. Really am enjoying watching and learning from liam 👍

[@recrementitious]

This is Great! Every helpful video I've ever seen has one thing in common: keep the shoulders, arms, and wrists soft and everything else will take care of itself.

[@nred60]

That was a very interesting watch, cheers for uploading Rob!

[@mrkipling3841]

What a great video this is!! Superb stuff gents.

[@andycummings2274]

Rob ..believe you me im trying this already and like you i couldn't believe that it works ...congrats to Liam for sharing some great info to us mere mortals ..lol cheers

[@GregVanGorp]

Your swing is looking so much better just in the last two videos! Keep it up man!!

[@jimmyn1357]

This is a great drill. Makes so much sense and can be done at home

[@andycade8325]

This is a great lesson from Liam as we can all remember these three simple things (knee position, tension, pivot). So many other online instructors are producing new content and drills every few hours just so that you revisit their channel. If you tried to take all of this info to the range you'd be mind numb! Keep it simple always works best.

[@sarducci23]

I haven't been more excited to go to the range with these swing thoughts and practice drills!!! I have been a major flipper/caster of the club for years and have been to multiple teachers and seen no change. Liam's explanation and sharing has me excited to start moving my handicap back in the right direction. The best vid you've put out yet by far!!!

[@MrWattsy84]

This second part of the lesson was exactly what I was looking for, I’ve been torn between finding positions with tense muscles on the course or softening everything up and striking it better. My coach was trying to get me to soften everything, it’s the hardest thing to get used to after years of tense swings but with a few hours of garden work I’m already feeling better about it. Great vid.

[@kfraser01]

Great drill, will try that. Thanks !!!

[@briantreadwell2206]

I’ll need to watch again to make notes but will try this out for sure

[@petergoodman7805]

Very interesting training method. I will definitely give it a go

[@gb8327]

this is such a good video rob - would be interesting to have a quick follow-up on this, whether you have used this drill consistently and if it has worked for you.

[@NationsGamer]

Tried this last night for about 1 hour and not going to lie when I hit some balls on grass I was striking them so well 😁thanks Rob

[@OldHarryRocks]

100% giving this a go. Talks a lot of sense, I pull down and get steep without proper rotation and then flipping/early extension. Doing the proper rotary movements should hopefully fix those faults and lead to some more compression.

[@ruggerosale]

Fantastic drills, will be great trying them out 👍 Any chance of some short-game videos with Liam??

[@RobMcGarr]

Will see what we can do!

[@danielmills3186]

I will be trying this in my garden.. my neighbour not going to be happy when my wedge goes straight through there window 😂😂

I was thinking exactly the same. Now trying to work out which direction won’t end up in anyone’s conservatory 😀

[@Coys1970]

Another great vid. Liam is such a top bloke. Too scary to try in garden incase goes left. Be funny to go round to neighbour's to say,can I have my club back.

[@kevinohagan963]

Ome of the best videos on youtube, well done lads!

[@morriboy85]

Love this. At 11:40 when Liam is saying "It's really tigh...", is he actually kind of meaning the opposite? Context tells me he was meaning that it wasn't very tight at all...I just got a bit confused. No criticism (we all do that in quick speech from time to time), just for clarification...

[@RobMcGarr]

Yep, think he said it'd be 2 or 3 out of 10.

[@bjm2762]

Hi Rob. Really good sessions. I seem to be rotating 45deg to left of target. Is there anything I can do or think about to prevent this? Thanks, Barry

[@Stephenpettitt198]

Like the look of this especially the knee thing but got first ever club championship on Saturday so not sure it’s a good time to start making changes. If it stops raining and I get a chance to have a practice round I might try it on a few shots and see how it feels

[@RobMcGarr]

Good luck for the club champs mate, enjoy it!

[@Stephenpettitt198]

Rob McGarr Cheers!

[@seanboland3560]

Really enjoyed this video

[@NoelIrl24]

Hi, fantastic video. I've tried it with the irons and it has helped. I'm still struggling with the driver, do you do they bunch of towels drill with the driver as well?

[@RobMcGarr]

Thanks! Wouldn't recommend that (might even break your driver shaft) - just do the drill with a wedge or iron and take the same feels into driver swing.

[@NoelIrl24]

@@RobMcGarr hi, with the towel drill ,do you release longer irons earlier,or at least does it feel like it?

[@jaimemantel9002]

I wish I could have come across this video before summer started. I would have done a lot better in several tournaments if I had. I was doing the knee moving too much thing. Now after watching this video I have much more control and power in my swing. I keep that front knee as still as I can. Good stuff.

[@Jono01]

Hey Rob, great to see you back playing and thanks for these videos. It was your original videos with Liam that got me onto him and TGN. I’ve had a couple of lessons with Liam and they have helped me a lot. One thing I might mention is that you are a bit bent over in your upper back which makes it harder to turn. Some posture work with thoracic rotation in conjunction with Liam’s left knee stability and step through drill may help.

[@RobMcGarr]

Yeah I have noticed that - just seems to be what happens when I naturally address a golf ball. I was thinking about whether I need to change it but it works for Tommy Fleetwood!

[@Jono01]

Tommy Fleetwood still gets a good turn whereas your posture seems to be inhibiting yours ... I’ll post something up on TGN. See what you think.

[@Sweetestkane]

Top drawer lesson from Liam!

[@henrickemmerson4140]

Awesome lesson and its incredible how different your swing looks. Having watched since you started this channel your swing always seemed to lack a little flow and never seemed overly smooth but this just looks effortless. You actually look like a scratch golfer in some of these swings so maybe the journey is not over especially if you're taking a little pressure off by just enjoying it.

[@Bobb3011]

This is great! Thanks for sharing 👌🏻

[@pabulous]

Really hope I see Liam doing well on European tour soon!

[@garethhill1968]

Again very interesting...was looking forward to watching this today. What Liam has told you totally makes sense. What iron were you practicing with...6 or a 7 iron ?

[@RobMcGarr]

8-iron to hit balls, I think - can't remember 100% though. Used one of my wedges for the towel drill.

[@Stevetobbi]

That was awesome Rob... Liam is a B52... 💣😎👌🏻

[@jbeeches1]

What a great lesson

[@arthuracorn]

I will be giving this a serious go

[@stewarth794]

Rob what’s the situation with the left knee is it keeping it solid or stopping it from swaying ?

[@RobMcGarr]

Not letting it fold in towards your right knee. It'll move a bit, but Liam had me feeling like I was almost moving it towards the target (feel and real are very different!)

[@darrenholden1283]

Another video that makes perfect sense to me. Whenever I hit a pull hook it feels like I've tensed up so will be trying this and see how it goes. Cheers

[@davidober1199]

Great stuff!!!

[@pardiedanser]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@mikejackson9105]

Wow, it sounds so simple and looks so simple but I know it’s a lot of good practice that will change my game. I think I will try the towel drill, I just have to do it while the wife is not around, 😀😀. I will watch hour video and see if I can pinch something to help my game.😀😀🏌️‍♂️🍻🇨🇦

[@billyt9921]

What does it mean if you stuff the club head into the ground behind the towels? I gave this a go today - found it fairly straight forward until I tried stage 3....

[@RobMcGarr]

Liam says that means too much tension and pulling down too much - relax it all off 👍

[@cookiegolf5962]

Great video. Can't wait to get in the back garden with a homemade smash bag. Do you think these methods work better than the Flowmotion swing drills?

[@RobMcGarr]

In a weird way I don't think they're that different. Liam is a big advocate of a completely relaxed movement without any tension - which is basically what the Flowmotion stuff is all about. Liam just has a few drills/feels that help get the movements right.

[@cookiegolf5962]

I tried the Flowmotion stuff but the "left foot , right foot" approach made me sway too much. Liam's drills seem like they would maintain the relaxed feel but eliminate any swaying.

[@RobMcGarr]

@@cookiegolf5962 Exactly what I'm thinking for me!

[@rikh78]

lots of crossover with the flowmotion swing stuff with the light arms and using the weight of the club head

[@RobMcGarr]

I totally agree. A few people seem to think this is a huge departure from that but I see a lot of similarities.

[@daleengland4093]

Love this put the first video tip in to practice today and for sure helped misses is going to kill me after this one "are they my John Lewis towels?"

[@RobMcGarr]

Haha, be the first time ever you suggest going towel shopping! 😂

[@jamesross720]

I got busted for a John Lewis towel on my bag a couple of weeks ago. Not good!

[@thedude3023]

Great stuff!

[@philbritton1101]

I have tried this before with great results only thing I found was that with the longer irons they tended to drop or fall behind the golf ball hitting them fat. Only way to combat was more grip pressure but that gives more tension

[@stephenblack9843]

Is hitting the turf during a practice swing something you struggle with? Lately I've been doing this with my irons which then makes me straight away think I'm going to have bad contact. I see Liam always reminding you to hit the mat

[@RobMcGarr]

He wants me to use the ground properly and for a practice swing to replicate what a real shot would feel like - including hitting the ground 👍

[@markrandall6973]

The step with the left foot is supposed to go forward to help move your weight forward, but you actually step back with that foot. Anyway, the step drill has single-highhandedly improved everything in my downswing - body movement/weight transfer, arm movement, strike and ball flight. It's given me a lower trajectory with a soft draw now, whereas before I was coming out of the shot with an over-the-top club path. The step drill, when done correctly (I start with both feet together, then when the club is parallel with the ground in the back swing, I step through with the lead leg - essentially, this forces your body in the transition to briefly move in two different directions simultaneously), is the single greatest golf drill that every club golfer should be doing, in my opinion.

[@gregburden8898]

Hi Rob Im in Australia who was the coach Liam was with in Australia ?

[@RobMcGarr]

Think it's Chris Howell? He says it in the full video.

[@paulwalmsley2931]

Grip pressure 2 out of 10. Did he prescribe keeping the same/similar pressure throughout the swing?

[@RobMcGarr]

Yep, as little tension as possible 👍

[@paulwalmsley2931]

Cheers Rob. Will give it a go. 🏌️🏻‍♂️👍

[@djohnsongolf]

I tried this and held on… club went flying 😂 What do you reckon that means in terms of swing / pivot? Why is holding on bad?

Using a pile of laundry is genius. You can't really let go of the club at an impact bag safely.

[@dannyfitlife405]

How does this work with driver ? Looks like it’s ok for irons 👍 but too steep for the big dig 🤔

[@tmc3980]

The real reason the step drill helps is that it forces separation of the pelvis and upper body. Coils you up.

[@RobMcGarr]

Liam told me to feel it even more with driver 👍

The only reason why i ask this question is because the drills you use have made a great impact on my irons, but seems to make my driver worse?

i kept thinking, man that range looks familiar . then realized why when you pointed the camera uprange. small world.

[@nerd9992]

[@MichaelA82828]

So you're not supposed to look down at the ball as you hit it? You're supposed to start looking up at impact? I always try to watch the club hit the ball.
