Two powerhouse teachers right now 💪🏼

[@CogornoGolf]

Thanks for having us, Milo! Lots of fun...hopefully we get back out someday soon. Your open invitation to Bethlehem stands whenever you are ready!! :)

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Eric Cogorno Golf awesome I’m going to try to make it happen at some point

[@rangetime5847]

Heading up to see you soon my friend- I saw you filming a week or so ago after I played Beth Muni- from the "closed" back Tees- The ranger yelled at me and said they were closed. I said sorry and hit is 325 down the middle on 1. He drove away...funny stuff..I was on the last tee listening in after my round at your range.Your good dude, real good.

[@shaunjayes8842]

Thank you gentlemen. That was extremely well explained. I never fully understood the concept of the squat until now. 2 really good teachers, and suddenly the light bulb has gone on. Much appreciated.

[@jimgeorge72]

Milo, so nice that your decision to strike out on your own was exactly what you needed to do. So glad you did, and now you are reaping the rewards, as are your many students.

[@jamesandresen4927]

MIlo, just want you to know how much your refreshing and clear presentations are appreciated. You are the best on you tube.

[@Chris_Traynor]

I don’t recognise the tune but I like the new rockin intro! On your older videos the Creedence intro is always a good reminder to make sure that all-important hub/hand path goes ‘up around the bend’.😉 great vid!!

[@ronaldlong8213]

Man I needed to see this! Working on it 1st thing in the morning

Awesome, let me know how it goes! And if I can ever be of further help to you in learning to Swing Like an Athlete, please do check out my website at milolinesgolf.com for in-person or online lessons, golf schools, or to become a member of my Online Academy.

[@ronaldlong8213]

@@MiloLinesGolf yes sir! I was crushing it. I feel like this was the missing link in my swing. It has help get rid of my dreaded pull. I was a member of your online academy, but i have so many things going on and so much money going out, i had to cancel my membership. I did the F1 and 2 and still use them til this day!

[@slidetechnologies7573]

Yep. Amazing that the more the golfer squats, the farther they hit the ball...DJ, Rorry, Tiger, Champ, lose as much a 1' in the downswing. I studied and broken down their swings to the frame! This is one of the most overlooked pieces to the puzzle! I'm happy that Milo is a big advocate for the Snead squat

[@stevedemond6765]

I started working on the Milo Move, squat and turn, yesterday. Your collaboration served to clarify it today. After picking up 15--20 yards with the irons, I'm sold. Thanks to you both!

[@ronnleffler7201]

This is magic! I love breaking it down like this! So good. This along with original set up is pivotal in the swing

[@2drsdan]

GG golf has a better in-depth on this Historic move (as Abe Mitchell did it back in 1918, he's the guy that sits on top of the Ryder Cup trophy)

[@simmo5071]

You guys together and alone do a great job of explaining not only what to do but more importantly why. Flex for rotation assist!

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Yes.

[@bengeist3227]

This is so on target. Great explanation!

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks so much!

[@rangetime5847]

Like these guys very much. I watched Eric on his range in Bethlehem Pa about a week ago filming right behind me- Im left handed- and listened to him and was like who is this dude. I was visiting from NC. Glad I stumbled into him in Pa! Also silly side note love his nostril clearing at 4:07- funny - But sophomoric aside I really like him. I think when I visit Pa again I will schedule a meet and greet lesson.

[@BinoRucker]

the best teachers; the best minds; all say the same things; good job fellas

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks for watching!

[@bdyt]

We may learn drills to work on certain aspects of the swing but it is an athletic, full bodied motion. I've always been to stiff with my lower body. I used to trigger my lower body first with a knee bump forward but got away from it. I've gotten back to it recently with being a bit more active with my legs and it's made a big difference.

[@rangetime5847]

Me too My game turned completely around.

[@christopherlook9226]

Gentlemen, thank you for the instruction of both upper and lower body movements. Until today I was one whose lead leg straightened immediately. I have heard other online instructors say "squat, in the downswing for more power. " I didn't understand why, so, I ignored it as a fad thing. I followed your advice and hit and compressed the ball extremely well after teaching my body what was required with many dry runs. I still need to keep drilling on the correct movements, but you have transformed my ball striking like no others. Thank you again. Do you every ever come to Colorado to teach?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Christopher Look no but I’ll be in Utah for the next 3 weeks

[@brettcigars4452]

I like it a lot, very concise description, good work guys.

[@karemariuslunde2009]

Really good instruction video of how the left knee moves -- thank U so very much.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@EmmanuelRibletGolf]

Great video, helps to feel the what the left leg and knee need to do to rotate better and prevent early extension.

[@109robin]

Love the Milo vids - especially how he shows how the lower body ought to open into impact! I'm 75 and just cannot seem to do it. Athletic but not flexible with short backswing that leaves no time to get into the downswing squat and so on. The top of my backswing has me almost in the half-way into downswing position position and to get any clubhead speed at all I accelerate too fast to synchronize upper and lower body with release of club. Over the last 3 years I've tried many, many, drills to lengthen my backswing (always leading to miss-hits) and to not flip at the bottom, and none of the drills seem to help at all (even after many buckets of range balls).

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks for watching!

[@drill888golf]

great video this has really helped me with my transition

[@clivegascoigne6610]

great video this has really helped me with my transition its always a bigger move for me, the move squatting down has always been difficult but this video has made it much easier for me to understand and pick up a lot of speed

Thank you Philip!

[@CaelM8000]

The squat and opening of the lead leg is reminiscent of how Sam Snead moved his lower body during the downswing.

[@pulldpin67]

What a beautiful place that is...

[@MiloLinesGolf]

sure is

[@richyclubsport5155]

I'd love to see you and Eric play and 18 hole challenge 😊 love the way you guys share knowledge

[@johnpritchard9753]

Brilliant vid. Thanks

[@MrBrokentowels]

Such a good video!!!! Great collaboration

[@cubfan69kmz85]

Milo, in other videos you talk about the change in pressure in the feet as you swing. When the pressure moves to the front foot as the arms are completing the backswing your already starting the reflexing, correct? I ask this because I used to view the swing as two pieces, the backswing and downswing instead of what I have come to learn now that it is one fluid motion. I never would get the pressure into my front foot quick enough with that old swing thought.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Correct the swing is all one flowing motion.

[@aaronmccardie8795]

If i tried to do that move with the knees compared to what I would do normally I would hit the ground at least 6inches before the ball I know its only a practice move and it's not as severe in real time motion or I would have to early extend because of the lowering move (sensation) due to a fear factor of hitting the ground too early,also I suffer from back problems and that also sends the fear factor to my thought process. Anyway another great video keep up the fantastic work 10/10.

[@jmm4081]

I’m going to suggest that the wrist conditions have to be correct in coming back to the ball. If they are, much of this will happen athletically.

[@wenbray6396]

Nice video both of you. A couple quick questions. In transition as left knee is rotating towards target how do you keep right knee/hip from pushing off to quickly in the downswing as you are squatting and centering. Also as you continue turning when or how is the handle of the club gonna rise as you rotate body thru.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Wen Bray you can’t push and sit at the same time😉. From p5 on the lead side is spiraling up and around which elevates the handle. I have videos on the topic I think it’s called create tour like impact

[@patriotichunter6434]

When will you come to Texas and do some lessons Milo? I would see you for couple private lessons anywhere Texas and NM

[@MiloLinesGolf]

If I am ever out that way I will make an announcement, but for now AZ and Utah, and of course online at my website milolinesgolf.com. Thanks Dieter!

[@juanhunglow2220]

Great vid. Scenery reminds me of Stellenbosch, South Africa 👍

[@shaunjayes8842]

Mooi man. Ja, it does look like Stellenbosch to me too 😊

[@danielcastresana9079]

I did this the first time today just swang a golf club like a baseball bat to get the feeling. Man I hit the ball so good nice arch control good compression and my woods and driver were great with doing what you mentioned to stop trying to hit up making the club swing left and slice or hook depending on face angles and doing it naturally the ball went so much straighter

[@juanhunglow2220]

Daniel Castresana - Swang??

[@danielcastresana9079]

@@juanhunglow2220 damn right lol

[@jdstubbs9971]

Hey Milo and Eric. If you are able to get separation to happen naturally without thinking, it would happen when we “re flex”. Right? So after we re flex, if we’ve done it right, we have separated, so we can then go ahead and feel like we rotate everything together? If that’s correct, a good swing thought might be: sink, turn(everything together),then push? Thanks. 😀🏌️🤙🏼

[@daviddjj]

U 2 are a great combo

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thank you!

[@Jarrahs24]

[@patricklee780]

Snead Squat, simple as that, nothing new but essential.

[@timhall5329]

Milo, could you possibly make a video about the differences in how to approach shots from the fairway vs shots from the rough? Especially like 150-200 yds out. Love the content!

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Tim Hall sure

[@timhall5329]

Golfletics thank you 💪

[@bh5606]

It looks like your upper body has to go back to a flexed position, also, it appears, after extending in the backswing. Then, your upper body has to extend and rotate into the follow through. Is that correct?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Ben Jonson yes

[@Boovda]

Having watched a lot of your content Milo I know it's this lower body movement I need to learn to replace my 'hip toss' as the trigger to start my downswing. My question is this, I currently feel like I bump and rotate my left hip as fast as I can to initiate the downswing, leading to stalls and thins mainly. What 'feel' do you have if any to initiate your downswing? Would left knee out work?

[@timothycarry]

good video. if my left hip goes up I get big pull to the left

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks for watching Tim!

[@garystromberg8856]

Gold

[@stephenhaviland236]

bought into this version Sunday and was puring everything. Came back Monday and lost the feeling and couldn't make decent contact and was even s#@^&ing. Going to go back slow again on the next session and see how it goes. Not sure where it went off the rails.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Would be happy to take a look and see how I could help. Have you checked out my online academy at milolinesgolf.com?

[@bxlawless100]

If you reflex the knees how do you hit the ball without SMASHING the ground.

[@richardjackson9725]

I find doing this with a tennis ball throw is easier than straight to hitting golf balls

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Often times the best improvements are made without hitting a ball. Great stuff!

[@swardmusic]

Milo, do we want to see that lead knee movement because it shows that our pressure is going forward to lead leg correctly? Its seems to be a bit of a chicken or the egg thing to me no?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Landing pressure left but not all of our mass/weight. Notice my hips stay inside/on my ankles when landing.

[@swardmusic]

@@MiloLinesGolf pressure not weight!! cool thanks!

[@chuckwalla2967]

Reminds of the stack & tilt from last decade.

[@danielcastresana9079]

It definitely is a form of it Milo's swing but his lower body movement on the downswing is not.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

chuckwalla 2 some stack and tilt principles are good some aren’t. Everything I teach is based in athletic movement from other sports and from the movements of the golf greats.

[@danielcastresana9079]

@@MiloLinesGolf you definitely got a unique outlook and talent for teaching

[@davidrichard894]

Reflexing the lead leg on the way down causes more problems! The right leg is the only one that reflexes to keep the club on the right plane coming down

[@MiloLinesGolf]

You are correct. At the top the left knee has about the same amount of flex it will have half way down. The key is it doesn’t start straightening in transition

[@benjaminsarmiento8150]

[@MiloLinesGolf]

[@faraazshah]

I thought the knee was a stabalizing joint. If I power my downswing with that kinda move, won't it bust my knee?

[@patricklee780]

No, it will actually take stress off of the knee.

[@bjohnson515]

Out to one or two o'clock? You mean 10 or 11 right? Snead squat?

[@311hitwall]

I am trying to squat but I keep taking a huge chunk of grass. I must still be casting the club too early even though I don't think I am.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

I’d have to see your motion to diagnose the problem

[@Tidoublemy]

You're probably too stiff with your hands still. I recently started doing this squat move correctly and you have to let the hands just do their thing. You don't really even feel them until you actually hit the ball. The ball flies off the face. In my old swing it was more arm powered and my arms always felt stiff. If you do that with the squat move you'll probably chunk the ball. It's much more of a whipping motion with the squat move. Like you're just guiding a weight with your lower body. That's my two cents...

[@pendodave4661]

I'm feeling... ...my patella detaching from my leg and hitting the guy in the next bay... I guess not all instruction works for the over 55s.

[@patricklee780]

Actually what they are showing is exactly what Sam Snead did and why his swing lasted well into his sixties.

Milo, what is the previous video you mention?

[@joeraiwalui4893]

I think Mike Malaska try to put one on Milo from golflectic about addressing the golf ball with his head tilting a bit to the right side of the ball before he hits it, Mike Malaska forgot that one of the greatest golfer Jack Nicklaus wich he recond is one of his mentors tends to tilt his head to the right side of the ball before he hits them, what that says about two golf coach on line simplicity Milo is the man Malaska sorry full b...sht nahhhhhhhh

[@davidrichard894]

Ok, you two are wrong!! When you get to the top, if you start with the right leg, you will cause people to go over the top! The left leg regaining flex is the first move! Look at all your examples! Stop moving forward on the downswing and getting ahead of the ball by using the left leg first!

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Follow my instagram and you’ll see actual students improving. None of my students swing over the top by the end of the first hour.

Who the hell would want to take lessons from Eric? That fool is a hack! Good thing Milo was nice enough to teach that hack Eric something.
