Fix the Flying Elbow, Get More Speed & Accuracy // Swing Journey with Scott Cowx

[@irvinlee1800]

yes please bring scott on for interview! what a brilliant teacher with a high golf iq. it's refreshing to see and hear

[@jvelez1998]

This has been the best segment on the channel. Period. TXG bringing the heat. 🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌

[@zacharymilos392]

Love watching Matt's lessons because Scott and I are working the same pattern, literally a free lesson for me. ❤‍🔥

[@mattc3233]

Now that the swings are in good shape, time for the 2023 driver bracket to commence!

[@martyboysation]

ASAP!!!

[@The_sunday_lout]

This series you guys are producing is awesome. Some really great insights, I think the biggest thing to take from this series for me is. Identifying your particular swing type is really important. Once you understand your swing type, you can identify the drills that will work for you and the there isn’t a one method fixes all. Scott Cowx is a legend.

[@rufussthoo4083]

Loving that you have taken the content beyond equipment and fitting, and are fast become the content 'one-stop-shop' for all things golf.

[@jamesdickerson1657]

I'm 88 with my irons at 58 years old. I like that speed. I do like how Scott has you guys tightening things up. I'm gonna work on that!

[@anthonyzlahtic6357]

I have been working on the positioning of the trail elbow, as Scott instructed in this video. It feels a bit ackward at first, and building the muscle memory takes a bit of time, but it really works. My 8-iron clubhead speed was about 75 mph, with Scott's trail elbow fix,I was seeing 82 mph and much more consistent line. I am getting a couple mph more with a 3 wood and driver doing this, but with improved ball flight trajectory and line. For me, this is one of the best videos yet. Thanks TXG!

[@benmartinez8995]

Had my first lessons With the guru Mr Cowx yesterday! And I’d give it a 10/10 cleared up so much stuff for me and simplified my swing to where I actually am pumped to just go play golf and not golf swing!

[@Dav373]

When I saw the swing at 9:11 I thought, that looks good, and those are probably the best numbers I've ever seen from your 7 iron, lots of spin.

[@lawbinson]

Will there be one where Scott goes over what the patterns are in more detail? Elephant Trunk, Constant Radius, etc.

[@benmartinez8995]

You’ll probably have to do what I did which is purchase his certifications which he has two of them! They’re both around 200$ the first one is really good and the second was is advanced certification altogether there’s about 8-9 hours of zoom sessions with so much awesome info and detail! I contacted him thru Instagram and am now certified! And just had my first lesson with him over zoom and can’t say anything other than it was a game changer! Plus he’s only 175$ for an hour which these days is a bargain!

[@jack-hq7gr]

Do all this and you’ll be taking lessons forever and still be figuring out all those profound P positions. But I guess club fitters would love lots of details. All this happening in less than 1.58876 seconds( technically speaking). What happened with the other featured instructors? That’s show biz.

[@IAM-xf9ir]

@@benmartinez8995 each certification covers 2 patterns only? An overview of all the patterns and what type of golfer it fits would be ideal. Then more details through certificate programs if you'd like to know more. Speaking from an everyday golfers perspective tho

[@cgolfc9407]

@@jack-hq7gr Struggling with those "profound P Positions"? P1 address, P2 shaft parallel to ground in backswing, P3 arm parallel to ground in backswing, P4 top of backswing. P5-P7 the inverse of 1-3. That will be $150

[@benmartinez8995]

@@IAM-xf9ir the first certification goes over very important and relative numbers to make you a better teacher/player, it does touch on some of the patterns but before you can learn about those you must understand there is lots you can do to be a better player without changing your golf swing! The advanced certification which you must go thru the first to make it understandable goes thru all of his patterns and there variations! It’s out together very well in a zoom with multiple downloads so you can watch him and watch the slides he’s referring too! Tbh it’s probably the best 425$ I’ve ever spent on golf and it’s like 8+ hours of awesome information and how to make the correct changes

[@hoganfan924]

What a fantastic lesson. Very impressive hitting 100 mph with a 7 iron. Wow!

[@calebjohnson1450]

Could we possibly get a review over the new Miura CB-302 irons please!

[@lukewinship84]

This series has been awesome - I found this channel at the start of the pandemic and along with the boys at NLU is a cornerstone of my golf life. Top work again 🍻🍻

[@skidbootify]

love it, feel like I can really incorporate this into my swing.

[@IPv6Freely]

I was a 100% arms golfer until I started trying to pin my trail elbow to my torso. I know its not actually but it FEELS like it's pinned there. That forced my body to rotate and immediately gained 30yds on a 7i. Mind blowing.

[@geoffreypleavin5268]

Excellent series guys, scott really know his stuff. I’m amazed I’ve not heard more about him. Well done.

[@strut55]

I really enjoy these lesson series. Keep up the great work and look forward to more content fellas!

[@fbf01]

Really?! I’m the opposite. Golfs hard enough without this chap looking in to every minute detail!!!! Fine if your an aspiring pro, but when you watch this guy it’s trying to remember 59 things running through your mid as your over the ball. Not for me.

[@strut55]

@Fernando Barbosa I can certainly appreciate and understand where you're coming from. The entertainment value for me in lesson videos is in watching the golfer attain improvements with tangible results in real time. I'm not necessarily looking for a swing tip from lesson videos unless there is something very specific I can relate to with my swing. Otherwise you're right, you can go deep deep deep down the rabbit hole of swing tips and have a terrible time.

[@Dogooddontbesilly]

Back to the best content. Well done guys.

[@davidchalloner5582]

This is the best series out there such awesome high-level technical knowledge that is easily digestible. Can’t wait for the upcoming segments

[@kmhgolf]

Best golf channel ever

[@kevlar8348]

This is what i was looking for, excellent job guys, my swing shape is more like Matts, i'll be working on this.

[@ZeeK33NKS]

Cam Young rotation in the house!

[@kot900]

As a fellow lefty struggling with the moss you showed on screen I can confidently say this is going to be something that helps fix my take away and eliminate this miss more. Love your content.

[@jonfister3237]

Great work guys I’m loving this series. Great point at the end by Scott about taking it to the track and the ups and downs. That’s the fun part. That’s why we practice. That’s why we play. To see how good we can get. Keep it up, you’re both making great strides. Fun to see

[@MrRyanqualle]

Loving this series and channel in general. Thanks for the great content. It would be great later in the season if you two filmed 9 holes of golf to see these changes in action out on the course.

[@leontaylor5490]

Excellent coaching.. im a bit older than you guys , but I’ll give it a go .. great vid guys xx

[@alecrosekrans]

Love the 2/1/4 checkpoints for elbow distance. It seems counterintuitive, but the more width you have through the takeaway, the more likely you are to be narrow at the top of the backswing.

[@russianxcoiladventures9477]

2/1/6

[@cartermatthews5519]

Awesome stuff!! Love this channel

[@bendgiacoma8619]

I think it will be really interesting your future lie angles, shaft selection and clubs once these changes are engrained.

[@benlemoi3515]

Awesome video a lot of good take aways to try

[@jwild5360]

One big piece to the puzzle I didn’t notice mentioned with the elbow positions is the physical capabilities. A lot of your normal guys can’t pass a 90/90 test in golf posture. For them it doesn’t matter what the do they are not able to get the elbow pointed down at the top.

[@brett7011]

Good point. I think that’s one reason why a strong grip is better for amateurs or even a slight wrist bow to keep the club behind the body appropriately.

[@bbanks87]

I had the thought that Scott looks like Coach Beard from Ted Lasso and I can’t unsee it now.

[@dabaumga]

Man what a great lesson!

[@richardjackson9725]

Interesting stuff but wow it’s technical, good luck getting that to stick.

[@scottsainsbury8603]

Ian's final words to Matty……”I was given it all I got skipper”! 🤭

[@Mat_Scott]

Wow! This is total opposite of what I’ve been working on. My focus has been a longer take away and more width at the top. My 7 iron speed is 92mph, but maybe I’ve been doing it all wrong.

[@thom7272]

Great stuff as always

[@auz139]

Love it!

[@random_dad99]

So I know this isn’t video related but went with a friend to get an iron fitting at a big box retailer today. I got mine done at Club Champion a few years ago. As much as I didn’t like paying how much it cost for a full bag fitting, I would do mine all over again. Wasn’t impressed with what the big box retailer did for an iron fitting.

[@chrisbeal2136]

Would love see Scott put the DeWiz on both and show the numbers. Really interested to see Max hand speed and distance to impact

[@Ma_Kachada]

I feel like the proSendr is perfect for this. Thoughts?

[@Golfgrinder1]

World class. Would love to see some matches between you too.

[@mrunlmtd]

Oh man I feel like my ball striking would be in shambles trying to get my elbows and hips in the “right” places. Feel like I’m gonna spend all season just getting the positions down and I’m gonna be fatting and thinning the piss out of my shots 😅

[@roy5515]

Combined the attributes of both of you? I’d kill to get one! 😅

[@Longarmshortarm]

The 2-1-6 pattern would apply differently to different golfers would it not? How can you make such a rule when everyone has different anatomies? Shorter/longer limbs, different sized torsos

[@Brandon-youtube]

Does Scott have a list of his certified instructors? I would love to have this knowledge tailored to my swing but don't trust an average instructor to have a fraction of this knowledge

[@cardiderek]

Tiger talked about those feels a lot. Like his hands were "racing past him"

[@eleson00]

Very much Milo Lines style with that sitting action.

[@nickjohnson3622]

It's 2 1 or 6, based on if you're at P2 or P1, unless you're at C437. Remember to externally bend your left elbow, while you're internally rotating your flux capacitor. Got it

[@chadheupel8393]

At the 6:40 mark what is Scott Cowx referring to when he said if you get this idea then you get the elbows for free?

[@chachifeere]

Ya i know. He’s talking about something in the grip pressure. The video is cut and doesn’t show this part

[@alecrosekrans]

I think that was in reference to adding trail hip flexion in transition which effectively brings the elbow back in front of the torso.

[@somethingclever1234]

Fixing (adjusting) Matts swing is like telling Max Verstappen that he doesn't drive the car right.

[@PHOBIAx57x]

Ayyyy

[@golfatit3140]

Yea that doesn’t happen in the down swing he wants to add right side bend at the top when it happens at impact or slightly passed impact .

[@blackie1122]

Lead leg bent on impact which means his sitting back without weight shift causing it to pull right and become armsy. Still fairly neutral though don't get me wrong. Cameron McCormick at Altus golf does a lesson with Brodie Smith check his channel and gets him to do the 'elevator drill' to bring him into flexion on downswing. You've been golfing for so long this can't be new to you but the look you give when he asks you to do so, idk..

[@JohnnysaidWhat]

Imagine fixing the golden bears flying elbow lol

[@midgetworld228]

I can't be the only one who watches this and is thinking Wtf is Scott talking about lol. Does seem like you guys are both getting a ton of speed without much effort but I'd really struggle with learning like this I think.

[@anthonyzlahtic6357]

That's an interesting comment and accurate comment. What resonates for some doesn't for others. The video resonated for me, because it's the fix my swing needed. I like the way Scott explains things.

[@beckmanchilds756]

@@anthonyzlahtic6357 same. Many videos I’ve seen a year ago make most sense now and some I know will take time. This def is helpful for me now

[@FrankBrickle]

Matt's swing is starting to have a lot of resemblances with James Wiltshire's move.

[@ln5738]

The objective is to play better. But, in my opinion, Matt's swing was better when working with Larry Cheung.

[@Gabe00723]

Biggest problem I see with amateurs is they fail to use their Thorax #3 a la mode.

[@ikaZi84]

I feel like some of these swing thoughts only apply to the modern rotational swing and will completely ruin the traditional, classic swing that uses a more handsy release. While I'm sure it's great advice to rotational swingers, guys who aren't athletic can't generate the speeds required in a rotation swing to match their classic swing, and it may end up ruining both swings for them.

[@dallasgreen378]

If u watch tiger in slo mo he never gets that shallow

[@BoomsRiddico4868]

I find it difficult viewing leftie swing and visualising/comparing my swing

[@chriselerick4770]

100mph 7i 😳

[@DannyBensonGolf]

I have a hard time following along - too many swing thoughts at once to be able to accomplish them all.

[@pmportella]

I have alwasy thought you want to be as long, far away as you can from the body on the initial back swing until you reach the top. that guy is telling him that his left elbow needs to be 2 fingers at address and THEN as he moves 1 finger and at the top about 6 fingers. makes no sense to me. just an opnion

[@user-xr3ry9wu4y]

it depends on the individual, if you go too far from the body you have to bring it back in.

[@CriscoNabisc0]

I can't be the only person that thinks these lessons are overly technical and information overload

[@Mornerudmangolf]

Geeeez this oak is just loading the poor guy with new stuff to do. I would fire him first day.

[@woodmo530]

Your loss

[@noconnorn12]

First

[@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb]

Seems a horribly convoluted swing to prevent that flying elbow. It can't be a long-term swing.

[@lance5101]

I feel this teaching method is way too technical and makes it a challenge for the mind to relate to it.

[@seansmith373]

But you already had a consistent swing way before And imma be honest this Instructor is just giving you more complicated added variables even if you get use to it and get speed Your going to get out of comfort more often down the road I wouldn’t take this instructors advice stick with your old normal swing you

[@robcoates5253]

Getting SO MUCH out of this series.

[@ashleywalls4097]

over thought much?? see ball hit ball. the end.

[@chadjames1808]

Awesome series 🤙🏻
