LOOOOOL SAME I DONT ALSO SHARE HIS VIDEOS WITH MY FRIENDS HAHAHAHHA

[@Longarmshortarm]

no 30 second informercial at the start of every video, "please like, subscribe, hit the bell for notifications" ... just straight into great content. Please never change 👏👏👏

[@Thelastmecca]

Don’t hate anyone selling their business. In order for free content to work for everyone they have to make money.

[@Longarmshortarm]

@@Thelastmecca The more people watch the videos, the more money the creator makes. If there’s no infomercial in every video, people are more inclined to watch (as you can see people agree with me). That’s how the economics of KZbin works, chief. No “hating” in sight. Just positive feedback. Try again ✌️

[@BigBadKevs]

Just wanted to say that this is by far the best Golf instruction channel on the internet. The lack of subscribers is an absolute crime and doesn't do this channel justice. The lessons here have completely changed my game and swing. The way Adam teaches golf is special, it's second to none and I have genuinely removed about 8-10 other instructors channels from my KZbin just to solely focus on this one. Great job guys and thank you for this free content.

[@PorzakGolf]

Dude, thank you so much! That is aweosme of you to say! That is exactly why we do what we do, to help as many people play better golf and enjoy the game more than ever! 🙏🏼

[@CheferDutt]

This is so true, this is the first KZbin vid that has actually helped me and not caused a myriad of new problems with my game.

[@danb.2605]

Totally agreed. My golf swing is the best as it has ever been because of this channel. I stopped watching the others for fear that they will ruin my swing.

[@jimralston4789]

You are so right on. The best instruction for every part of the golf game. I wholeheartedly recommend this channel to every golfer I play with that is looking for help with their game. So grateful that Adam makes this content available.

[@TerdFerguson]

So cool of John to let us have a peek into his journey. Everyone watching this is working on the same thing as John and I can tell he is well on his way to effortless swings.

Best golf coach technician on the Tube. My swing is less about hitting positions but when things are going wrong I come here. This is exactly what I’m doing. Flaring trail elbow which is causing me to hit over the top. This should get me right!

[@billcancel47]

Understanding the impact of the trail elbow. Great video!! Thank you for sharing.

[@PorzakGolf]

Thanks for watching! Having a soft trail elbow is key to a shallow swing

[@rhysroberts1582]

Elbow tuck ties in with flat wrist and affects clubface! 😮 another new nugget of gold for this viewer Had come to realise the giving blood was a vital component of my best swings post AP. There must be so many biomechanical principles here but there is no need to discuss as everything one could need is delivered. Love the praise you give your students as they progress in so many ways. 🎉

[@PorzakGolf]

Thank you so much! You were spot on there, so many things going on, but our goal is to find the least amount of thoughts that change the most things. Your set up is number one and giving blood is an intregal part!

[@jimchancellor3729]

[@chiefnakoma]

With these drills and a few other videos of yours Im getting much better at the top of shoulders on plane with my arms and then more shallow. Ive always been steep. When timing is off its weak fades or pulls. This is narrowing my dispersion big time. I like the set the wrists at address, then baseball turn ti the top from another video and then squeezing in that trail elbow.

[@lycherbabe]

Earned a subscriber - literally made it all make sense in 10 minutes

If you’re a viewer in the comments reading and maybe not paying attention fully to the videos this man produces… stop. Rewind. Focus. Small subtle swing thoughts this man says are crazy good. “Point funny bone toward the ball”. That clicked for me and it’s the 3rd time I’ve watched this lol there is something in ever video that’s worth gold too some viewer out there!

[@geemac7267]

I really like your instruction, Mr. Porzak. I've gotten a few tips that actually made changes in my swing. The clubhead outside the hands in the takeaway and the "giving blood" have been very helpful. I know golf lessons aren't cheap and I appreciate you giving us a little insight into the lessons other players are getting from you.

[@PorzakGolf]

Thank you for sharing! This is exactly why we do what do! To help as many people as possible play better golf and enjoy the worlds greatest game more than ever!

[@trezmala]

Solid information, I needed that breakdown of the right elbow causing the left wrist cup action.

[@TheLastBabyBoomer]

Awesome stuff. I'm about to head to the range and will dedicate myself to keeping my trail elbow tucked via this lesson since I have the same issue. I never understood until now that the trail elbow had such an effect on my lead wrist. Thanks for the lesson. You guys are the best.

[@PorzakGolf]

Awesome! Let us know how it goes!

[@TheLastBabyBoomer]

@@PorzakGolf Just got back to work and it works great. The ball flight is straighter with a bit more consistent draw. Thanks.

[@rickstevens9628]

Sasho MacKenzie says the club head must pass below the hand path so the club is shallowing the whole way down to when you have to turn it over to square the face. It's the hardest feeling to obtain to swing like a pro...Sasho's comments on dropping the head below the hand path helped me the most. Right shoulder external rotation early on and continuing sets up that whole move

[@SoCalGolfer1966]

This is probably the best explanation and fixes I’ve seen, this is my problem in a nut shell and drives me crazy! Just came across your channel and this is first video I watched, and to top it off you are in same area as me, I live in Vista!

You have helped me change my swing, I was struggling with not having much length difference between my 8 to 5 iron they were all almost exactly the same yardage, my 4 iron was moving around 164 yards to now hitting consistently at 185 yards. I am super grateful, you've gained a loyal subscriber. Btw I am using a 20 year old Taylormade R5 set of irons.

[@PorzakGolf]

Oldies but goodies! We are so happy I contact has helped you enjoy the worlds greatest game that much more! This is exactly why we do what we do. Thank you for watching!

[@mrhyde1314]

This is gold for me. I have the flat wrist the tight trail right arm but as I come into impact I seem to lose that connection and beating my right pocket. Lead arm also then loses connection resulting in a chicken wing after impact. Perhaps feeling the right elbow beat my right pocket would keep this connection longer.

[@Matt-xu4ht]

this lesson was crazy good

[@ivobonzano7006]

Dear Adam Today I tried to replicate all the hints and suggestions you provided in this video and I would say that the best one is the “giving blood” arm position. This impacted in a truly positive way my impact with much power and precision. I do thank you for sharing this !!!

[@khabibxtyson719]

best teacher on youtube hands down. For putting do you prefer a little natural hinge or pretty stable wrists?

[@PorzakGolf]

A longer put will need a tiny bit of natural hinge, a shorter putt won’t need much.

[@cthurman]

AP~. So many terrific points clearly explained here...the funny bone/fabric puller tip is my favorite tip. Always so informative & easy to put into place...will rewatch a dozen times, great stuff! Digging your new shades...ct

[@PorzakGolf]

Thank you Coble!!! Re-watching these videos is a fantastic idea as he will pick up something new and get to a deeper understanding of the golf swing every time!

[@ShaneChilly]

This is the best instruction online hands down. The way the information ins conveyed is so easily understandable. The giving blood trick keeps my right arm tight to my body and my swing stays on a perfect act every time. Thank you so much! 🇺🇸 god bless

[@jammuu]

Love your channel, been going back and watching your lessons from years ago. Excellent as always!

[@PorzakGolf]

Awesome, thank you!

When I bow the wrist the club is closed at top is that a problem. Best explanation I’ve see thanks

[@PorzakGolf]

Welcome aboard!

[@wadesworld6250]

This is huge for me (Wade), Adam. I see a lot of my lesson in there. I've made great strides but this is an awesome reminder of what I need to be drilling.

[@PorzakGolf]

These are great reminders wade! As you know from the masterclass we strive to teach the golf swing that applies to everyone every time versus just a quick Band-Aid fix for someone at the moment which is 99% of the stuff you see on social media!

[@michaelkilloran2491]

I set my wrists with a little bow on my lead wrist at takeaway and it always helps for me anyway. Add in elbow in, giving blood, and your oneeeeee two tempo has been a game changer. I still struggle with longer irons but that could be a few things ie. ball placement, distance from ball etc. Great stuff on here.

[@PorzakGolf]

For longer irons ball moves forward stance gets wider and you have to make sure you keep your head behind the golf ball, after that making sure you make a full body turn have a smooth transition is really important!

[@thomasmarinucci6917]

Great video.

[@D.WhiteJr]

Thanks for the content. I’m a golf geek that just got my old high school’s golf program started again. Trying to coach 10 kids and only 1 has touched a club has already been an awesome challenge. Just in two weeks of practice the miles they have all come is really cool to see. Little nerves for their first Match on the 17th but if we can keep progressing Im confident they can finish a round and hopefully met and made a new friend while they are at it. If you have any tips for getting the most out of group teaching I would love the input I only follow legit coaches where KZbin has been my best Mentor. And side note I’m attempting U.S Locals this year LOL probably won’t get much of my own practice in but on a course I am familiar with all it takes is one solid day.

[@kenedmundson5127]

Good instruction

[@guitar1950]

Adam, would you explain Hogan's cupped wrist? How it supposedly worked for him. Did he supinate and ulnar deviate at impact? Your thoughts on all wrist movements in a great golf swing. Thanks!

[@ken-scottleembruggen6887]

yes the lower pressure on the inside of the right bicep is the feel, keep that in contact all the way till top of backswing (or just before)

[@julianneiser2134]

Really great.

[@bittah-hunter]

Does the trail elbow techniques mentioned here also apply to the driver swing as well? I noticed in many pro golfers' driver swings their trail elbow are not tucked in compared to their iron swings. Is this because of the nature of the driver swing compared to irons?

[@saijinkai]

@Porzak Golf what’s your thoughts of the diff between a hitter and swing ? Is Ben hogan considered a hitter even though he advises to side arm throw a skipping stone at the ball?

[@golfolie64]

That s very very good vidéo showing that to do with this fu.....g trail elbow .. Thank you..

[@Dannyduzit77]

Amazing! You’re killing it. I have a question for you Adam. From the top am I taking my hands back down the foot line? Feeling like the butt of of the club down to the toes?

I’ve watched nearly all your videos and only if I lived in the USA but I’m in New Zealand I would come for a lesson. Your coaching is on point with almost immediate results it’s like golf swing magic!

[@7backhand]

Is the "lead" left arm/elbow also in the "give blood" position?

[@PorzakGolf]

It is a little more player dependent on their tendencies. Mr. Hogan obviously had both in this position.

[@petercrocitto7383]

For me was the positioning of the right arm, the issue I have and for most - is: are your feel really the real way you are positioning the right arm. How do you take the change from the range to the course.

[@lenardtan7169]

[@PorzakGolf]

Thank you!

[@freesworld6596]

The way he teaches makes me wish I lived close by. I cant find an instructor like him in New Orleans.

[@willchulamanis-vd8bq]

Adam great video. I’ve had issues with my right elbow and a cupped left wrist which causes my club to go across the line as well. Interesting how the two are tied together. One thing I’ve noticed with my swing is the exit plane is really high, like through my neck. I see the pros hands and club come out much lower on the body. When I try to swing more left, the ball hooks left. I’m assuming it’s because my cupped left wrist tries to over release and it ends up flipping. Probably why I stand up too. If you could do a video on HOW to get in the proper body position so the club is able to exit left (on the proper plane) I would appreciate it. Thanks for everything. Great work buddy.

[@PorzakGolf]

It’s all about a great set up an connected backswing and continuous rotation through impact. The club access through your neck because you’re standing up and trying to Charlotte late and release the face. Get a wedge out, put a towel underneath your armpits and hit some shots and just your left leg!

[@guillermor.5862]

[@ryanbliss8933]

Any suggestions for someone who is the opposite. Getting way too shallow at the start of the downswing (club head way behind them), gets stuck, and needs to severely flip hands to make contact.

[@PorzakGolf]

Absolutely! Do some. Pause drills where you pause at the top and the open up your body through the golf ball! It will feel like you’re heading over the top pull cut. Work on starting the golf ball left, encouraging it back to the right to neutralize. Pull fadzzzz for dayzzz This drill can help you get back on top of it instagram.com/p/CQxJ6-fn-KC/?igshid=NmNmNjAwNzg=

[@2hours118]

What about for people that get the hands shooting out with the trail elbow still bent ? I think it’s because I open up to early ?

[@PorzakGolf]

That can definitely be a cause of your hands moving too far out toward the ball in transition! You can feel your back stay to the target a little longer while you pull your hands underneath your body and pull the shaft under your right shoulder!

[@bogey2528]

Got any tips for someone who’s elbows can’t get that close together. I’m a little heavy up too and my elbows can only get to about 5-6 inches to each other if I squeeze hard.

[@PorzakGolf]

The best tip in the world for somebody who’s a little bigger! Get your arms on top of your chest. Grip the club stand straight up and lift your arms up and then as they come down, you’ll feel them slightly more on top of the packs in your elbows will be able to get much closer together! Game changer! Let us know how it goes!

[@JLong2544]

Great session, backswing, downswing, tugged in elbow…sometimes, I see he has chicken wing when follow thru ..just wondering how to fix it?

[@PorzakGolf]

Chicken wings get fixed with a better sequence through the golf ball and proper rotation! The proper sequence is the arms moving past the chest, versus the body and chest, turning in front of the arms, leaving it behind. The chicken wing is an athletic response to that.
