I have been plauying golf for over 65 years. The lesson with David and your video on Squeeze to create hip depth are by far your two best and important offering. Your videos with a student are very easy for the average viewer to identify with.

I watch this video 4 times today. The simplicity of him explaining grip, takeaway and loading up on the back swing makes me want to play golf again. Best I have seen and he does not talk too much about anything. Love it. Thank for this video.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

I try to keep it fairly simple in my lessons, but it depends on the students. Thanks for watching!

[@charlespiette]

Holy molly! @5:20, simply correcting arm structure and wrist hinge brings him to perfect to of the swing position. Amazing

[@MiloLinesGolf]

[@johnharbin686]

Thank you for the live lessons!!! This one really hit home. My ball striking has gotten worse the past 6 months and I was lost and didn’t know why and after watching this video I realized my left arm was in the wrong position which was something I had changed in my swing thinking I needed to get my elbow pits facing up to the sky like in Ben Hogan’s book. Thank you milo for all your good information,time,and effort you and your team put in making the KZbin videos

[@granty1954]

Milo. This video lesson has literally saved my golfing life! The basketball analogy is literally mind blowing - never seen it anywhere else and the elbow to target is a game changer. I was a flip inside on the backswing and flop at impact and shanking was always there. Now, chipping and iron play is suddenly compressed and powerful. Maybe a whole video on basketball wrists/hands is needed.

My gosh I can't wait to get to the range to set my left elbow. I have always pointed both elbows to the hips as per Hogan! I am old but swing like this young man early in the video.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Watch video of Hogan and he really didn't do that, his book wasn't truly authentic to him from what I've heard.

[@robsir63]

I just stumbled across this video. One thing I think I can use is that hand release, like the basketball example. I started make huuuge back turns at the end of last season. And like you say, it makes the downswing a lot more free and allows the arms to get in sync. Great video. Thanks 👍🏼🏌🏾‍♂️

Appreciate this! I have the same tendency as he did at the top of the swing with the wrists not setting.

[@77bovi]

Very insightful and relevant video for me. Happy to see his immediate transformation. Think this further supports my new backswing method and how I swing through. Can finally feel why we want our arms infront of us instead of turning it around behind us. When is the right time to pour on the juice in the swing and towards which direction do we direct the force? (Target, infront of ball?) Thanks fellas!

Haven't heard a teacher create a draw swing since "Inside path to Better Golf" by Peter Kostis. I think that your method may hold up better day to day. Breath of fresh air.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks for the watch Eric!

[@sebastiandykas6062]

@milolines I think the way you told him to hinge the wrist was the hidden secret here. So many of us don’t understand the correct hinge. I tend to rotate inside. Dead from there. Great video

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks Sebastian

[@larrypruitt3919]

I fight whipping the club behind me as well. Working on straight back take away.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

The club does move around us though, so swinging straight can also lead to bad habits. In his case it was more wrist and arm conditions.

[@danielwenderlich3438]

Great video, will the elbow and wrist adjust help to to the hand path more vertical and downswing hand path closer to the body?

[@steveperry1344]

milo, at the top of the swing how do you prefer the right hand position, do you like the right thumb under the shaft or more the base of the index finger?

[@eddieyoung3856]

So this is why my shots go left if I manage to get the club face square 😒. I never thought about the position of my lead elbow at address. Can’t wait to try this at the range!

[@77bovi]

Would be wonderful if you can do a separate video on how the wrists load and unload. Think that would be major for me. thanks!

[@MiloLinesGolf]

[@amac8487]

Damn, this guy is like a mirror image of me, and we have the exact same handicap as well.. I went to a local pro for lessons, I have the same issue of sucking the club in on the takeaway , so that the club head is behind my hands before going parallel. I believe I acquired this due to trying to hit INSIDE the ball to combat a strong fade ( occasional slice). Since being so shallow, I’ve lost distance, and my miss was now a hook ( but it was so nice to finally get rid of that strong face). The pro gave me similar instructions , and wow do my strikes feel pure now. As I just learned this last week, of course I have some work to do, as this is totally a foreign feeling for me, but so far loving the results at the range.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Good stuff Aaron. If we can help any further, please do check out my online academy at milolinesgolf.com. Best of luck!

[@paulnguyen954]

Also Very similar to my situation. I have been hooking a lot, because I push it right , with a close club face. Now I have been working with a local pro and hitting baby cuts with my iron . So much easier and much better control. And it lands softly!

[@raymondmedemblik9374]

Should you think about setting your wrists at the top of the backswing or should it happen as a result from backswing to forward swing

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Depends on the person, but I typically prefer to see it loading in the takeaway/backswing. Here is a video that could help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmbYXmODYriSZtU

[@robertlozano6546]

Milo. Would you say his left hand grip got more neutral after you got him internal with left arm? Good video. Thx

[@ksharpe10]

I always wondered which way the elbows were to point, obviously the left needs to face the target as clarified in the video. Which direction should the right elbow face?? I used to think they both should go toward the body, example looking at the HOGAN book 5 fundamentals they look toward the body.

[@FranzPaul-l3t]

When I try this, I see the extra speed and it feels more like a natural flow. But my ball, after starting straight or slightly right, keeps curving and curving left and my 7 lands maybe 40yds left of target. I can't seem to stop that. I end up just swinging way out to the right so it curves back to the target

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Sounds like your face gets pretty shut, I'd have to see though to give you the best feedback. Have you looked into joining my website? milolinesgolf.com

[@TheNYgolfer]

I would like to point out 2 issues with this valid swing model so people can make an intelligent decision whether they have what it takes to try this before they invest time and money. I think that's only fair. All models have pros and cons. Some cons are more serious than others and can ruin ones body to the point that you have to give up the game. I totally understand this pivot based, dead arms and hands swing, since I used it in the past and it worked great. For the long game especially, it requires a big turn and resistance between upper and lower body (x-factor, x-factor stretch). You also have to stay connected. Slack is the killer in this method since it is based on proper Kinematic Sequencing. The Kinetic Chain has to be tight or it would be like pulling a car with slack in the rope. So what are the 2 issues? You are using only 2 out of 4 power accumulators so you make up for that with great flexibility and the big turn as mentioned earlier. 16:43 "You can't hit it far if you don't get wound up". You also need a BULLETPROOF lower back. When you wind up and then unwind, the stress on the lower back is significant, especially during the transition when x-factor stretch kicks in. If you got flexibility and a bulletproof lower back then this is an accurate way to play that requires no timing of the release. Physics will do it for you. Back problems forced me give up on this model. But it is a very valid model.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

You clearly do not understand my coachings as I teach how to use the hands and arms as much as anyone, it’s just not aligned with how some others coach their involvement. I’ll have to start adding two more power accumulators to help increase the distance of all the long hitters I coach 😂.

[@TheNYgolfer]

@@MiloLinesGolf If I "clearly don't understand" your coaching than it's because you clearly don't explain yourself well, and contradict yourself. In this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3qZeX-uotCrntk at the 4:14 mark, and beyond, you make it clear that the hands and arms are not actively helping to release the club. That they are "reactive to the body turn". Now you weren't talking about stage one of you teachings. At that point you were talking about the full swing. That is why I said it is a pivot controlled swing with passive arms and hands. Passive in that they don't actively/consciously "add" power. The release is automatic due to centrifugal/centripetal force. So if I got that wrong, and I'm totally misunderstanding your coaching, then please change the video and make your teachings clearer so no one else misunderstands you. Yes you teach how to "use the hands" to set the club on the backswing (setting the flying wedges) and to not "roll" them through impact, which is advocating "angled hinging". Excellent advice. Shout out to Homer Kelley of The Golfing Machine btw As for your somewhat sarcastic statement about adding 2 more accumulators to your power hitters , you totally misread my post. I said "You are using only 2 out of 4 power accumulators so you make up for that with great flexibility and the big turn". I didn't say you can't hit it far with 2 accumulators. Of course you can bomb the ball with 2 accumulators, but by your owns words 16:43 "You can't hit it far if you don't get wound up". You have to be very flexible to wind and unwind like that, and the stress on the back , especially during the transition, is seriously damaging over time. Which brings me back to the whole point of my original post. This massive winding and unwinding requires great flexibility and bullet proof lower back. 16:43 "You can't hit it far if you don't get wound up". It's a valid model, I'm not saying otherwise. It worked great for me until the back issue. It is a very accurate way to play. It's just not body friendly.
