You have some of the best instructional golf videos on KZbin, thanks!

[@rosengarten3369]

Finally I just saw the best golf video ever. I don't need more, just follow the sequence. Thank you, Michele !!

[@MrTocotaco]

Best video instruction! At 75 I've been playing since retirement. I have hundreds of hours of KZbin instruction. Mostly instructors blah blah blah a lot, or want the viewer to see how wonderful they hit a ball. Very minimal real step buy step teaching. You are the opposite! You make a point, then reinforce the point with a slow example. At the end it's all put together, even using slo-mo. Thank you! Big fan!

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you so much. Keep enjoying golf.

[@richardcutt727]

Very good and very clear instruction. Michelle is a gifted teacher.

[@peggyrogers7012]

This is a great video, Michelle. You break down the elements of the golf swing in understandable terms with perfect demonstrations of each element. Thanks for sharing your wonderful knowledge and skills with us!

[@robertbien7895]

Thank you for the explanation. I love the use of graphics and slow motion on your video. It really help with my understanding. You are a really good instructor.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you

[@roeydaz]

Nice! I found my down swing improved dramatically when I stopped trying to stretch back to my limit. I go back to what I feel is 3 quarters, but that position itself is actually a full one, then when your not feeling stretched like a rubber band the down swing just falls into place on its own. Thank you Michelle for your efforts!

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you

[@nitinarora986]

Thank you for explaining the sequence, so clearly

[@100Hotel]

Hi Michelle, I really appreciate your videos and detailed explanations. You are a natural and quite brilliant golf instructor. One of the very best!

Thanks Michelle. This is exactly what I'm trying to work on to undo 20yrs of bad habit. Really helpful explainer, and a drill that looks useful.

Best golf tutorial so far. Simple and straightforward.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you

[@garrydauron6980]

Michelle, thank you! I am now aware of why you demonstrate the chest rotation in your full swing video. The progression of practice through the movements is enabling me to feel the movements in transition. You have made playing more fun and relaxing. The movements in your golf swing videos are more impressive, nuanced and athletic than I understood. Appreciated!!!

[@danielbottacin]

Hi Michelle, thank you so much for you videos. Another one which will be useful to me to build and stabilise my swing. I was wandering what I was doing wrong in my downswing. Now I know that weight shift is most probably the key. I will try in during the next days on the driving range.I value a lot tour expertise. Thank you. :-)

[@michelelowgolf7501]

[@aichampionofficial]

This is my biggest problem - the downswing. Thanks for the lesson.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you

[@garrydauron6980]

Michelle, a few hundred practice balls, playing and then watching the video over again is helping improve my grasp of the sequence. I also am 'glad' you emphasized the importance of your left leg (takeaway) position and movement. Practicing that leg movement really helped create the feel and balance of the left side. It helped me find the left shoulder position you wanted. Irons are pretty easy. The driver sequence positions have taken more work. I approach practice in steps. The described drills, hit 40 drivers quit when the club speed increases without more effort. After the latter, switching to a seven iron seems to improve the rhythm. Thanks for the patience.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you. So glad

[@cvenugopal3558]

Great coch Michael Dr.venugopal India

[@garrydauron6980]

Dr. Venugopal you are correct. See one, do one and then teach one. Michelle is like a skilled surgeon that also has a good bedside manor. I am impressed that with your schedule and accomplishments that you take time for this wonderful game. Take care and stay healthy.

[@holymolyjamescheung3499]

Michelel ... You are the best! Thank you!

[@ochea1948]

This is a great lesson, the left knee moves to the inside and downward is excellent. Thank you.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you

[@garrydauron6980]

Michelle, your rotation exercises (the leg behind the knee) were great for understanding how you swing in balance. It enabled me to feel what proper inner thigh 'rotation' creates. Completing the back and down swing is relatively simple once one can feel the influence of the inner thigh move in balance. You are on to something "very important for senior" golfers and teaching. Why? 'Most senior' golfers have some level of vision, flexibility and balance issues which limits their ability. We "need your swing", which is built upon a platform of balance (your thigh rotation/balance drill). Your exercise video was an epiphany. It proved to me that your swing sequence is great for good reason. Think about enabling senior golfers move in balance. We will improve beyond imagination. Even your putting video is perfect for seniors. Many of us do not dare droop our head and eyes because we get dizzy. Maybe you can copyright a senior golf package and advertize with your team because no one has a better method or swing. Needless to say, this package could also be modified for younger audiences.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

[@JamesWilliams-ey5vi]

It has been a struggle for me since I have started my family. If it were not for the thought of spending time with my boys at the course I have been contemplating waking away from the game after 20+ years. Your channel has given me hope that I can practice the correct way in my absence away from the course that I will still be able to enjoy the game.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

So glad to hear that! Have fun

[@k2enneth2]

Great, 1 2 3…left knee left hip left pectoral in sequence. Thanks!

[@district5rookie]

thank you so much for this.

[@guyr7351]

Cracking video, I am a classic over the top swing, not too bad with short irons and can hit a very consistent ball. Longer clubs when in your head your thinking distance is the aim the over the top can kill the strike. I know when I swing properly and legs and body in sequence the feel of the impact is so much better and 20+ yard is easily gained. Your explanation / demonstration is really good and something I’ll now be trying to put into practice previously I have tried to work by thinking leave the club and hands at the top of the swing and get the legs and body moving.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Hope it helps. Thank you

I accidentally saw this vid and wow. Great instructions with graphics and notes/commentary. I watched it 4 times and finally grasped the concept. Probably will take 10 large buckets to dial it in. Hit the subscribe button and will be going through the videos posted. Wonder if the drills can be done without hitting balls? Thanks Michelle for breaking it down for us. Keep up the great work.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you

[@brianjohnson8918]

It's definitely a "bottom up" motion to start the downswing but for me the 'feel' is of my right side doing a 'crunch' where the right shoulder & arms drop down in a 'one step motion' where the RE retains its bend. On video, this feel shows good lower body action as well. The golf swing is nothing if not endlessly fascinating.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you

[@goldengate8287]

The crunch feeling is on point!

Solid Teaching....Well Explained

[@garrydauron6980]

Michele that is a superb visual. Your positions look slightly different (less left foot rise and emphasis) than expected, but logical given your beautiful transitioning and balance into the finish. The lines across your body are really helpful visuals. I will bookmark and begin practicing. Your swing is really top shelf!!!

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you! Hope it helps

[@garrydauron6980]

@@michelelowgolf7501 That video is really well done and sequence using the rod is easily practiced. It appears that your right upper thigh initiated that most 'subtle' bump towards the rod. Is that bump assumption correct? For sure the rest of the swing just follows naturally. Too bad you can not be with us on the course for everyone.

[@bj146651]

Great teacher. This is what I need. I get stuck at tip or back swing. I just throw hand and fall back. Just started golf 5 months ago

[@garthwebster6433]

Awesome video. Thank you. Another item I find is key to the shift is starting the shift before the backswing is complete. I start my shift about when my lead arm is parallel to the ground in the backsing.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

You got it! Thank you

[@pphomsoupha]

Thank you! This has made me think about the feeling as I often find myself on my back foot when I finish. So now I realize when I turn on my backswing, I eventually will end up shifting back into my lead foot and thats when I then try to start my downswing since I'm already heading forward.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

You got it!

[@kenl5014]

Hi Michelle, Great instruction on this topic! Very simple and easy to understand. When you make the initial weight shift in the downswing to the left side, should you feel the weight going directly into the left heel as a right handed golfer? It looks like doing the first part of your downswing, the weight it actually working diagonally towards the instep and then as you rotate through, the weight is moving more into your heel. Do I have the correct understanding? Thanks so much.
