I Can't Believe How Easy This Makes The Downswing (It Feels Like You're Cheating)

[@iansullivan3547]

Of all the golf channels on KZbin this guy has the most helpful content on here. By simply keeping the right arm bent at impact, you get to rotate through the ball, cover the ball with your chest, and have lateral side bend. Normally this takes 3 videos, but he’s managed to give a simple tip that covers ALL THREE of those vitally important things. This dude is my new KZbin golf coach

[@bigglesthwaite]

A nicer setting would help…

[@aaroncortez6330]

This dude is super sharp

[@burnoutclips]

@@bigglesthwaite i dont mind it much at all. its easy to focus on the technicals instead of looking at the scenery

[@derriccroft7854]

Really mark M?? How do you even make a comment like that? Gtfoh with that s*** Take your a** to the Grand Canyon or Swiss alps if you want better scenery. Some people I tell ya. Unbelievable. This guy is on here giving absolute valuable info and teaching quality golf techniques and you want make a comment about setting..😂😂😂😂

[@erichollowaymusic-original180]

​@bigglesthwaite like really? Maybe this is all he has,his knowledge. Maybe Dad didn't leave a Trust fund and lifetime Club membership at a prestigious resort. Be thankful for what we have.JS

[@matthewcoburn1283]

Lifetime of extending, casting, and flipping blown away by this idea.

[@stevec9231]

Great video!! In the almost 50 yrs playing, I don't believe any instructor or video has touched on this. Can't wait to work on this.

[@patriotscientific]

Yes Steve, I am 70 and I have never seen this drill before. Brilliant.

[@mikebarnard2689]

LUV a reverse engineered golf move... fantastic stuff, I have always seen the right side bend , bent right arm impact still and never understood how that happens from a full swing... reverse it... make it happen .. give yourself a task... BINGO ... top stuff , so many components addressed in this task. Genius ( as long as it’s your work 😁)

[@MichiganMan923]

Really been repping this impact position and move thru the ball at home due to weather. Finally had a chance to hit the range and wow! What a difference in impact and results. Still have to continue working on that move becoming more second nature as I have been a years long 7over the top/casting guy. Looking forward to better golf

[@danviccaro3920]

It work’s unbelievably and the speed is after the right hand straightens out great video well done ..

[@BruceBusby]

Another great video. I've been getting a bit lazy, pulling plenty of shots. Too handsy... this should get me back into shape. Thanks!

[@kevsstream6349]

This One hits me different. That right arm bend is "Magical". Been hit'em best of my life but still pushing some and fat mat shots (prb why my right arm is more sore). Your video recalled a tip I remember from the late Ernie Barbour my instructor in my teens. It went something like the club will feel weightless at the top. I went to the mirror and seen all the good angles you've shown us that we should have and it all lines up because of that right elbow bend. I can feel the club being weightless as I start my transition. As we all end our round of golf I really want to shoot a round of Par for my Dad. It's a game we've really bonded on. I really appreciate this tip and I've already clicked like 20 ad rev's for you. Thank you, Sir.

[@fredrikholmberg1048]

You are one of the best on youtube! Good drills and no bs. Great tip video after video!

[@Feverdream7777]

Great tip, can't wait to work on that. I tend to flip on mis-hits...I think this is a good thing to drill.

[@tellmethetruth3393]

This is huge, how come I never heard anyone else talk about this. Thanks man.

[@mosesbluestudios]

Phenomenal teaching. Great technique. Been working on this and seeing great results. Thank you

[@markfurlong800]

This is the exact journey that I am on. Such a good video. It would be good to to see some side on videos of this so I can better understand the release pattern or explain what happens to the wrists past impact. I seem to suffer from holding onto the angles too long past impact but not sure if what I am doing is right or wrong. Really good video and this “reverse engineering” of creating turn in the downswing defo works for me. Just the thought of turning more does not and introduces all sorts of other problems. ⛳️

[@kw12784]

If it's after impact, why do you need to worry? The ball is already long gone👋 lol but I'll (semi) bite...what does the ball do when you hold on as described?

[@steveregotti8542]

Great swing sir👍👍👍I’ll try this out -- well done 👍

[@AVRJEH]

Yet another set of spot on drills to actually help you! Fantastic! Thanks!

[@daleglover7026]

I’ve been working on this exact position with my coach but this gives some context to my trail arm so i know what it needs to do 🙌

[@johnnymo5703]

And another one! JC, you have more hits than DJ Khaled! Appreciate you my Guy!

[@jchowngolf]

Haha thanks man

[@aaroncortez6330]

Banger video, have a big issue hitting fat and I know it’s bc of my right arm. Thank you!!

[@ZiPolishHammer]

Same. My weight transfer and lower body work well, but my right arm is a bastard that wants me to fail

[@lawrencecheshire6012]

Tried it and absolutely love it. Hitting my long irons straight finally. Assuming this works for driver too or no? Haven't had the time to play around w it much but success w my irons feels good

[@jchowngolf]

Awesome! Same with driver.

[@baldurhermannsson9413]

[@briancota4544]

It's interesting because when I hit the ball on film with the right arm I get that bent arm awesome impact position. I cannot however recreate that feel with two arms? What am I missing?

[@rickwilliams3515]

Thank's for this one. Eye opener/game changer!

[@thirufrompe]

Very good video. Thank you. Give a tip on how much lag we need for longer distance and when the wrists should unfold. Thank you

[@ramsin6938]

[@marcin1056]

Awesome simple but highly effective swing thought. Thanks a bunch.

[@finnagetpaid]

Really good stuff I can take to the range instantly. Thank you.

[@lungchan1729]

Thanks. I started to do the drill. Start with a impact position and I hit the ball quite well. I wonder why can't I setup like the drill and hit the ball like that on a golf course. A little bit "a la" Matthew wolf. What do you think? Because when addressing the ball with the impact position it feels like my hips is doing the rotation easier instead of doing the sway movement of the hips.

[@brown3mp]

Dead on good stuff man. Really true about the shank comment at the end. I would know😂🏌️👍

[@gurinderchahal6078]

Watched three videos. They have been excellent

[@MrMattorge]

Literally the MOST important thing in the whole golf swing.

[@aziizam9777]

[@AmusedGoose]

Does this apply for woods & drivers? Or is something that works exclusively on irons? Love the videos!

You’re speaking to me brother! I early extend and run out of Rt arm way too early.

[@KeesCheese72]

Hey 👋 Jonathan from the States (Louisiana)! I’m looking for what you think 🤔 is the Best drill for getting off your trail side and not getting stuck there and stalling out at impact. Is this one ☝️the one for that or do you have a better drill besides? Big fan of You and your Instruction techniques!

[@patriotscientific]

thank you I learn from you every time, I am 70 and have struggled all my life, in my day golf instructors NEVER hit balls in front of their students...today that won't cut it

[@ameliajade6113]

Tell that to Dave Leadbetter, Butch Harmon, Pete Cowan.and Hank Haney. Not having the ability hit a golf ball like a pro doesn’t take away from a persons ability to teach extremely well. Being able to demonstrate what’s needed for a student (at any level of skill) is what’s important. I guess if you were right those teachers I mentioned wouldn’t be teaching some of the best players in the world. If you ever go to a clinic with a PGA tour pro, very rarely do they articulate the correct information to help someone hit a golf ball. They are just really good at the game but not so much at teaching.

[@davidregister9574]

Great tip!

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks David

[@torbensvendsen-uj5kj]

I have myself worked with this with succes. But if you have a little difficulty , you can try turning your inner right elbow a fraktion upwards at address. It can also create more lag, win win 🙂

[@royclose946]

Well done 👏

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks Roy!

[@bankscam]

When does the right straighten ?

[@Dennis1313DC]

Ouch.. if your watching you tube probably not the best golfer in the world😂. Love the instruction!!! Thanks

[@jchowngolf]

Who knows, maybe some of them watch hahaha

[@stevenklinkhamer9069]

Excellent.👍

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks Steven!

[@henryracingcompany6909]

Awesome thanks. You see that and you know that but you don’t know the drills so that’s great.

[@nreifer04]

When I get more open my path goes more left and hit slices. Any drills for better path while still rotating well?

[@jchowngolf]

Could be a number of things. Lack of lead arm/hand depth at the top of your backswing and poor downswing sequencing could be the culprits. All depends on your swing

[@so_dums]

Yeah, don't listen to this guy.

[@sskcorea]

Hey thank you for sharing your experience on the youtube. I wish I can understand what you are saying here fully. But anyway, I think I can try your 2 drills. From s.korea.

[@chaddy-me-boy8299]

It does seem counter intuitive, but past year I said to myself on a good striking day, my lead arm feels more bent, 🎯, Do you think if my divot was toe heavy, it could be fr straightening my lead arm and raising up? ✍️ Hopefully this might help others. Thx.

[@jchowngolf]

The divot pattern will likely be a separate issue

[@khaleelazan8903]

Brilliant post

[@jeromehealy]

With this bent arm, can you show how you would work the ball right to left and left to right?

[@markhendriks9050]

Great stuff. It's hard to get rid of 20 years of straightening the right arm. But I'm sure it's possible

[@jacksikora1809]

Another great video.

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks Jack!

[@Max-ct5vc]

have you completed your pga??

[@SuperDakiz]

Amazing content thanks...

[@_keepin.it.reel_]

Great video but I notice you never mention weight transfer. Is weight shift not as important if you get this elbow and bent position correct?

[@sussell4606]

He says weight is 90% on the left side at about impact. Just watch again😊

[@adrianmartinelli9799]

Form the second trianglle through impact,simple!

[@sf-dc2dl]

Incredible! Thank You

[@jchowngolf]

Does it work with woods from the fairway? With a driver from the tee as well?

Everything 👍🏼

[@huygmail]

is this for all clubs? driver, fw too?

Yep driver too

[@jparente23]

[@songpaul9436]

Really Thanks😃😃😃

[@hbyrdut]

At impact do you want your right elbow beside your right hip or in front of it?

[@jchowngolf]

In front ideally

[@hbyrdut]

@@jchowngolf Thanks.

[@gallinho7268]

I’ve kind of always known about this but when I try keeping the right arm slightly bent I have trouble getting down to the ball and thin it a lot. How can I avoid this?

[@bigdeano162000]

Get your right shoulder down more and left hip up

[@andymat7359]

Hmmm, maybe I'm straightening my trail arm and that's why I've all of a sudden started getting the shanks.

[@jchowngolf]

Shanks can certainly be caused by straightening the trail arm

[@josdenhartog7385]

True ❤

[@raymondmedemblik9374]

Why please when I keep my right arm bent and get right side bend my club face stays open resulting in the ball going to the right

i think it is good theory. thanks. but one issue to me is that your right heel is stick to ground. many teach right heel up vertical.

Check out my videos on why you should avoid lifting the right heel. Banking your right foot is the goal

[@WingAttackPlanR]

"Guys watching YT videos are NOT the best in the world" - CHEEKY!!

[@neilt4723]

The mad thing is on the first drill, you take your club back from the pre set position and then as you come back through the ball on the swing, it’s not the same as the pre set position 😆 This isn’t a criticism by the way, I’ve drilled the life out of this position for two years now and still can’t do it ha ha

[@vivitoisright382]

So maybe this is the reason for my early extension 🤔, or its my bit over the top downswing.

[@jchowngolf]

Always gotta find the root cause

[@SurprisinglyAthletic]

The failed version of the right arm only swing made me lol. Looked like one of my efforts.

[@jchowngolf]

Straight left haha

[@bueyako390]

Thank you 1.000.000 times

[@jekylthorn8969]

I can't get this late hitting with bent arms. My swing involves uncocking the wrists at the start of the downswing (yes, blasphemy I know) and I have never hit so cleanly straight in my life. Yes, I don't hit drives 300 yards but I will take 200 yards consistently hitting where I want it over distance any day.

[@dougm659]

So, how many times have you slapped a ball through that gap on the right of the net and out onto the street 😂?

[@vreeke777]

Shallowing like this is not easy

[@sdave33]

I like this type of swing but it’s not for me… I’m more of a swing like Tiger etc who straighten their trail arm and release the club. I can swing this way (rotational) with the bent arm and holding the release but I messed my back up a few times trying to make this swing change in the past (it’s really a totally different type of swing).

[@barriefitzgerald2677]

This is for under 40s lol

[@jchowngolf]

Not at all

[@Bawkzers]

It's the basic foundation of a golf swing. Nothing about age. You can still probably play decent golf with a straight right arm but you will never take your game to the next level without the lesson in this video.

[@joetraxel7822]

I’m almost 72 and I can tell you it’s for everyone. When I do this properly the ball goes to the target. The exhilaration is because you know where it’s going. Watch every TV pro - all look like that. Great lesson.
