Malaska Golf // Transition - Joe Nichols, The A-Swing, and Hitting From a Chair

[@Waddymanman]

Multiple in person lessons over the years. Video analysis from 3 YT golf dudes just in past 3 years. Not one person has ever told me I’m moving into the ball. Along comes Mike. No personal lesson. No swing analysis. Just knows the golf swing and conveys it perfectly. Thanks for the knowledge and understanding. Thanks for making golf so much more enjoyable.

Mike You are a Man among boys when it comes to the golf swing many thanks!

[@HHHWLH]

Mr. Malaska, you are such a “cool” dude (very high compliment), man. I dig your compassion and teaching style.

[@Jackybug]

With respect to “David” there’s a reason the phrase was coined “Lead poisoning” in reference to the impact his teaching has had on several tour players. Unfortunately when I took up this game in the mid-90s the first and only instruction book I owned for the longest time was “The Golf Swing” by DL. From there I went to X-Factor, ugh! Listen to MIke!!! He knows and can teach the best way to swing a golf club.

[@danavest]

Ditto

[@Jackybug]

@lanny clark Who said I only took one lesson? Who said I compared myself to a pro? Opinions on the negative impact of David’s teachings are well known, commented on, and documented by many players and instructors. Just look at the comments on David’s KZbin instruction videos. You might want to educate yourself before calling people names. Maybe start by learning how to correctly spell David’s last name.

[@madisonmasontv]

Hey Mike thanks for all the gentle, straight up guidance. You're the only guy teaching this stuff who has the balls to tell the truth. All this lore has been thought about, analyzed, and taught since the game began. I see Hogan (the greatest), Byron Nelson and Snead, just to name a few, in what you teach. Not to mention Mike Austin (a true character). And for you to stand there and humbly state that you've learned it and not created it all by yourself is refreshing in this overpopulated world of jump up egocentrics all implying they've invented the damn wheel. You've got a new fan. If I get to Arizona I'm looking you up. Madison Mason

[@jadestewart5098]

In all sincerity, this is the most helpful golf video I have ever watched and I have watched probably thousands here. I have been stuck on this move and the affects of doing this drill (properly) gave me near instant changes in my swing. Thank you 🙏

[@dougpittman5714]

Chair teaching method is genius. May not be your idea, but this is the first time someone explained it to make sense. You're the best, Mike.

[@NoooChance]

After 10 years of golfing and who knows how many years of trying to shallow my club I saw your videos and it works right away. It feels so natural. Thank you

[@2cardarsenal310]

Tiger does the chair or squat better than most modern players today. It also allows more room for the hands to get out in front and to impact. Great video Mike!

[@louguerrero4516]

The GOAT! Love this guy.

[@dudley1955sk]

Thanks Mike for another great vid. No one in my generation ever conveyed the understanding that I get from your vids. Keep up the good work because it benifits so many of us.

[@markberg8271]

Mike -- excellent. The idea of "sitting" to move the hips back is simple but golden.

[@xupermike]

Malaska channel by far makes more sense than the ones I have seen. I think the common “shallow the club” move is actually an effect caused by “sit down” prior to the club head reaching the end of backswing (the transition). The sitting down is a motion that has more to do with change of internal muscle tension than what can be observed outside. It’s exactly what “drop your weight before initiating a move” taught in Taichi.

[@ablgolfmom6211]

xuper you get it! This is exactly what my teacher Golfletics says!

[@migbgold3191]

totally agree -- and I think Mike's idea of getting shallow is to essentially in motion permit natural gravitational force to work and not overdo that force by forcing the clubhead down even further in transition. once that clubhead gets dropped further beyond what normal gravity force would do, the old handle drag, too far inside starts to appear ... and the early extension

[@BamaPaul]

Ablgolfmom I have use the squatting with the Malaska move it does work . Again everything is a feeling the squatting does help you to rotate better along with the Malaska move .

[@theparadiddlydoo2771]

Rory McIlroy has a similar movement to the "sit down" motion. He squats his trail knee on the down swing more than anything. Although it could be the same thing as what Malaska's showing here in the video. I understand the concept of the "sit down" motion but I'm thinking that if I were to do something like this, I might chunk the turf before the ball. But I'm going to assume that if you have force in your lead foot and push up forcing the lead hip away from you/clearing the lead hip, then the momentum should stop the chunk into the ground? Worth practicing for sure though :)

[@xupermike]

BounceTo TheBeat I think your “lead foot motion” assumption is the critical element that dictates the outcome of chunking. My “current” finding is 1 lead foot pushing back and up on a slanted track. 2. Ease the initial stage of the downswing so the entire downswing can be carried out in continuous acceleration. Starting with too much force can cause deceleration in the later stage, and causing early release.

[@shl6862]

From what A-Swing did to Lydia Koh, I have answer. MM is formidable great teacher!!!

[@bkirkwd52]

Mike, I have watched some George Gankis videos. His move of dropping club WAY inside is very difficult to do. When it works, the ball goes very far. But, damn, it is difficult and hard on the body, especially at 68! I go with you!

[@peterquinn4747]

I've struggled with golf for years and then I happen to see one of your utube video's that it's like a baseball swing and I've been improving ever since

[@JimboSRP]

I like how you explain things logically and clearly - it makes it sound so simple that you wonder why you never thought of it yourself. But clearly it's the result of a lot of experience, study, knowledge and thought, so thanks for sharing it with us. I don't use an actual chair, but I do try to visualise that "sitting down" feeling to start my downswing - it kind of makes my hips swivel rather than thrust, and it feels like there's more going on in the front hip than the back hip, at least initially.

[@johnnyhicks2386]

Best advice on golf and really easy to understand. Many thanks for taking the time to help us.

[@JeffKeenerRCJH]

[@silentknight206]

I’m going to add sitting as the fifth step to Malaska’s four step drill. I hope it corrects my early extension.

[@millerjeff]

Great info Mike I have heard so many times. You've got to get on your left side to make contact with the ball. I'm going to work on this for sure.

[@smoozerish]

I do a variation of the A swing similar to what you describe and it's the only swing I found that doesn't put stress on my back and I can it hit miles with accuracy.

[@dawnhillanders6791]

Thank you again for such clarification. They tell you to lower your head to the ball on downswing which taken literally puts you off balance. It's this "seated" motion with legs that actually lower the head and keeps your hips out of the way.

[@paulnosworthy4818]

I coach swimmers to Olympic level and everything Mike is saying is correct. In swimming every gaming is through improving technique (thr golf swing) then its the mind (course management) lastly 10 years later its strength and conditioning. 99% of golfers and swimmers tend to work the other way

[@7676ezra]

Thank you again. Exactly what I'm working on. I have an adjustable stool from a tattoo shop that closed, an impact bag and a mirror in my basement. Time to get to work. I almost feel like I should be paying you but I'll least share everywhere I can.

[@zero2herogolf]

@Mike - Like the small sit move, very good instruction!

[@marcevans6609]

Mike the other day a “red light” came as I watched a teacher I had no instruction knowledge of (Ledbetter) was teaching another coach. As I listened I couldn’t help think of your instruction and very consistent teaching as well as, clear understanding of biomechanics. Ledbetter was copying and suggested he invented this “A Swing”, but he couldn’t describe it thoroughly and I wondered if he is more of a personality than a high level teacher. You’re so on track. And frankly, likely one of the best teachers in golf. I too coached at an elite level in endurance sport and it was so frustrating to hear far to many coaches taking credit for something they didn’t have the knowledge of.

[@eddbenson7223]

10 minutes of lead-up and just over 2 minutes of drill explanation. I still value your teaching. Thanks.

[@migbgold3191]

Mike: Almost reluctant to say this ... but you literally cured my combination: hook/push/shank -- all attributable to my pushing my hands out away from me, coming way too much from the inside on the transition and, at times, getting the heel of the club literally out to the center of the ball (hosel rocket). I am a former hockey player and all of my years of hearing about coming from the inside and dragging the lag through just was so terribly counterintuitve and obviously not useful to me at all. The magical elixir for me was your collection of videos wherein you describe the transition as standing the face of the club up and getting the hands to stay close to the body and allowing the clubhead to act like my hockey stick (which I was a Division 1 NCAA player in New England in the late 1980's and am fairly high level proficient at handling). My strikes in golf now are pure and strong and effortless action and speed. Lots of freewheeling knowing my hands and arms have not "traveled" on a crazy dragging path. Thanks for the "ah-ha" moments for me. Mike G. from Texas

Best coach out there

[@Geep1778]

i’ve tried it all and you can’t get to that front leg properly without what Mike is talking about. at least i can’t and finding the right setup and tempo was crucial for me. so i noticed my worst shots came on when i had tired legs because they wouldn’t bend enough to shift and in that case you hit a push or slice. You also stand up all stiff and your upper body throws you off balance too. But w proper foot work, getting the feel for the right sequencing in terms of weight and how to move your body, and being fit enough to do it all you’re dead before you start.

[@DBLACKJACK70]

Real good stuff there Mike

[@jamesbondisamonkey]

that is an absolutely excellent drill for helping your hips pivot...wow

[@golfnbiker1]

Mike, When I was studying Hogan's swing, it was noted that he had 'sit down' move. As he swung back, his weight would move to his right leg and then quickly move to his left leg. This creates a bend in his left leg and hence the 'sit down position. I tried this for a few seasons and Played some of the best golf of my life. What I noticed is that the "weight" which is now called "pressure" follows the clubhead. It moves to the right leg and follows the clubhead, now moving toward the target, behind the golfer's head, to the left leg. With the change of direction, the left leg quickly straightens forcing the left hip to rotate and clear. I love your videos, I'm in for all you got! I can't wait to try this with "L to L"

[@RedSp4de]

[@eJunkee]

Hi Mike, I just want to thank you for your excellent instruction videos. I completely changed my swings after years of struggling to get more distance and consistency. Your instructions make sense, I've started using my arms more to generate speed like when I was younger (now 45) and I am hitting the ball farther and increased by ball speed dramatically and replaced my long hybrids back with irons again. Most instructions online that focus on lag and body generated speed is misleading at best. My body supports my arms, not the other way around. So thank you! I feel like I should be able to return to single-digit HDCP this year!

[@tomnelson8515]

I have to admit that I was skeptical after watching my first few videos of yours. But you have really earned my respect. (But that and 25 cents probably won't even get you a cup of coffee.)

[@randolphsnyder1505]

Just my opinion but would like to hear yours, I think the most important part of swinging a golf club is your ability to feel the club head.I also think that feel has a lot to do with grip pressure and your hand strength and is different for everyone .I have very strong wrists and hands (bricklayer) I have to grip it what I conceive to be very light in reality is rather fitm.If I grip it firm,the club feels like a stick with with no weight on the end,my absolute minimum swing weight is E9.

[@ablgolfmom6211]

Mike I really like that you state that there’s nothing new in golf instruction. I have taken quite a few lessons from your former assistant Milo Lines and this sitting concept was something he taught me over 10 years ago which helped me go from a bad golfer to a top Utah amateur. The only real disagreement I find in Milo’s instruction is tipping the club out because it prevents the clubs mass from aligning with the body rotation causing the player to reach impact body square and arms straight. He says if the player succeeds in tipping the club it is impossible to get the trail forearm in line with the shaft at impact which is his main goal. I went through all of your live lessons focused on the tipping idea and all of the players reached impact body square and arms close to straight and the trail forearm was way above the shaft plane and you really liked each of the swings I referenced. How do you reconcile this fact?

[@BamaPaul]

Ablgolfmom I notice that to even Mike swing don’t have much shaft lean or hips open at impact. But his method works been using it myself my hips are open and got enough shaft lean. 🤔

[@ablgolfmom6211]

Paul Malone if you’re open at impact then you only feel like you’re tipping the shaft out but it’s not actually happening! I know Milo’s argument is that the club doesn’t want to get stuck behind you it just wants to get perpendicular to the the rotation. The tipping move prevents the club from reaching this alignment and is unnecessary. It can work but is less than optimal. Most high level players don’t fight the physics of the shaft aligning itself with the pivot, they embrace because it naturally occurs and is easily repeated.

[@BamaPaul]

Ablgolfmom yes I know but the tipping is only a feeling it don’t actually happened in the swing.Mike has said this many times in his videos. I like Milo to good teaching but Mike method works to .👍

[@maeu59]

Paul Malone to understand or even tip the shaft you would first have to be able to let the club shallow in the first place, which most amateurs don’t do. They throw the arms from the top which makes it impossible to tip it, it pulls the right arm over the top of the left, making it impossible to get the shaft inline with the right arm. Too much golf instruction is based on assumptions of what players should already be doing, or even understand the essentials of the golf swing. Mikes instruction is good but for the average KZbinr, it’s too advanced.

[@adygarza18]

Great video, I struggle a lot standing up when hitting the ball

[@MrMunchies2x]

The sitting down aspect is similar to what GG swing tips. But they advocate to shallow the club while Mike advocates to steepen the club...all very interesting!

[@BamaPaul]

It is a dynamic move .

[@arjanpetersen]

No... it is not about steepening the club ... you didn’t understand that part correct.

[@MrMunchies2x]

@@arjanpetersen : Is the reply for me?

[@mlukin4]

THey shallow the club, Mike shallows the arms as the the clubhead goes over the top of the hands in the downswing.

[@jareroken9127]

To be fair to Leadbetter, he doesn't say the club should turn over, on the contrary, he explains the face points more skyward post impact.

[@TheJbfather]

I 1000% AGREE TO YOUR WAY OF THINK.. LATE HITTING IS A KIND OF ILLSUTION LEADS TO FAILURE .. And also gives damage to human body.

[@krennels]

When I focus on letting my body respond to an arm swing (Malaska), my body ends up under rotating which creates new problems. So, I have to go back to focusing on body rotation being the primer of my arm swing. The correct mixture of body rotation and an arms swing is when I hit the ball with consistency.

[@migbgold3191]

poor Lydia! she was #1 in the world before messing around with that ... I think she's not even in the top 10 and may not even be in the top 25 any longer

[@ablgolfmom6211]

Check out Golfletics channel if you’re looking to make a pivot driven arm swing!

[@ablgolfmom6211]

Wasatch Golf Academy Mike does teach that the body responds to the arms and hands which can be true. He also likes the feeling of the body staying closed as the arms come down just watch the be better golf videos on the Malaska move. None of this is wrong if the reality is that the body moves athletically and proper impact is reached, however players who use this feeling often end up back near where they start at address.

[@ablgolfmom6211]

Wasatch Golf Academy not yet. Why did you delete yourself from the other conversations on this thread? You agreed earlier that tipping caused impact to be reached with body square and trail forearm above shaft plane.

[@ablgolfmom6211]

Wasatch Golf Academy as Milo says if it remains only a feeling ok, but when you’re actually tipping it out Impact will always look as stated previously.

[@mikemoodie]

I've always felt my most comfortable sitting on a barstool! Seriously though, it neutralises the right hip, which I think is a big problem for most amateurs. We're trying to muscle the ball with our bodies.

Super stuff Mike. Early extension haunted me for many years until I watched your videos where you talked about pushing away. Changed my game. Would be interested in hearing your thoughts about the Moe Norman single plane swing. His setup to match impact makes a lot of sense to me. Thanks for all you do to help us hackers!

[@red-eagle9668]

Mike sets up to closely match impact position. I recall seeing Mike show this quickly in one of the Be Better Golf lessons. As for single swing plane swing, I do not know if tipping the club up as demonstrated here and many other videos by Mike is a single plane swing. Call it either, no matter it works. Increased my club speed a ridiculous amount with the ball flight I choose at will; or as GF calls it out. draw or fade

Sorry, that's the truth. Just bc he's a former PGA professional doesn't mean he has a magic secret. With that said, you have helped me tremendously for free with your KZbin videos. Thanks Mike.

[@redstone5149]

Dude, there ain’t a club pro on this earth that could help you as much as Leadbetter could. Don’t fool yourself. I’m a club pro and I’ve worked with David. You may not agree with everything he says but you can’t deny the success he’s had with all the men and women pros. When I became a Class A PGA professional the only teaching requirement I needed was a 1/2 day seminar that was done by the PGA. A guy named Mark Wood did my seminar and he was really good. However, in a 1/2 day seminar you can’t even begin to scratch the surface of learning a teaching methodology.🙄

Awesome video. I've been feeling this lately and this video explains it perfect. The other day when I was playing and hit a 9 iron on a par 5 about 140 yards out and was the best shot I have ever it. It landed a foot from the hole and literally rolled to the edge of the cup. I felt like I was pushing back almost to the point of falling backwards until my front foot caught my weight then I just pushed my left hip back and drilled it. Best feeling ever. My question Mike is I still feel out of sequence a little and trying to time the sit move. Does this sit move start before the end of the swing or after you have made it to the top. I've caught it perfect a few times but it's really hard to figure out where I'm doing it at. I'm sure each person is different but could you help me out and explain the timing on this. Thank you.

[@77777771955]

Mike, Glad I found your channel and this video. Tiger undoubtedly the best player since Jack, However, do not believe he will beat Jack"s major record based on age and injuries. Injuries I believe were created by bad instruction in his later years. Had he stuck with with either Hank Haney or Butch Harmon, he would have exceeded the record. But then again, if Jack had one 50% of his 19 second place finishes, the issue would be totally mute. Either Jack was that much better than the competition or the competitors got lucky in stealing 19 majors from him. I do not believe in theft and have to feel sorry for Jack, by not totally eliminating his claim on being the greatest golfer ever.

Wasatch Golf Academy yes I have worked with Milo a few times a year for the last 10 years at TalonsCove. He is the best teacher I have ever worked with. He worked as an assistant of Mr Malaska for quite a few years.

[@ablgolfmom6211]

Wasatch Golf Academy if a golfer succeeds in tipping the club out impact will be reached with the body very square and the arms near full extension. Milo is adamant that a player arrive at impact with the right arm bent and the right forearm in line with the shaft which isn’t possible if the player successfully tipped the club out. I have snapped stills of all of Mike’s lessons focused on this topic and every player reached impact body square and arms extended the right forearm is way above the shaft plane.

If have missed previous explanations of yours; I apologize. Regards. John Lyons

[@ablgolfmom6211]

Rejuve50plus I totally agree with you not something I’d heard Mike teach and the lower body must return to square in the sitting phase! I learned this concept about 10 years ago from Milo Lines aka (Golfletics) in a lesson at TalonsCove in Utah. He has a few really good videos on this exact concept.

[@alldayrays7110]

I may wrong, but...The video is about the A-swing and how it relates to Joe Nichols teachings? Mike did show the sit move and the hips effectively have to rotate slightly back towards square when the sit move is made. As Mike points out the hips are moving back, not forward. Mike also points out he is always looking and reading other material that he may apply to his instruction if he feels it will benefit his students. Just maybe, he likes this particular drill to help some with early extension?

[@red-eagle9668]

The hips turning are a result, not a cause. The hips turn as a result of the motion of the swinging club. When using the Malaska move, ie tipping the club up as if one is setting the handle onto a fence post the hips have no need to turn until such time as the swing club passes the body. To do otherwise opens up a very big can of troubles. Speaking from my experience using the technique. There are a lot of ways to hit a golf ball, I won't assign a right or wrong or value to any method. If it works for you, go for it!

[@ablgolfmom6211]

red-eagle9 a way to do it but if that’s what’s causing them to turn then they will be square at impact. I’ve never seen a tour player with their body square at impact.

You don't have to be tall, you don't have to have a picture perfect swing.... Go hit balls until your hands bleed 3 times a week for about a year and you'll figure out your optimum swing

[@poplarmeadow]

I just read the A-Swing and Leadbeather does not state to actively flatten the swing. He teaches the club will naturally flatten as a result of the body movement . Also, the backswing is very different as compared to your instruction.

Eric King from what I can tell he teaches a stood up back swing, doesn’t like the laid off shaft and definitely sits to shallow the path. Seems really close to what Mike was saying about joe Nichols and the old timers.

The first 9 minutes of this is a ‘get off my lawn rant’, but skip to 9:00 and there’s some good stuff!

I think the only good thing about A swing is keeping your right elbow close to your body...

[@dougbarnewolt6445]

Another awesome video mike. You more than anybody else make the most sense to me and it’s not just sense its what I do and it works incredibly well. All this other teaching is MANIPULATION BULLSHIT

[@ElvisPriscillaPresley]

The A swing has destroyed a couple of professionals who went down that road. Possibly a decent swing for an amateur from what I read in that book.

Mike ... wear a Dynamic remote microphone for sound. You sound in your videos is a little weak and hard to hear. So something better to have your voice and instructions come through.

I don't understand why people are so obsessed with shallowing the club, people create lag with out trying to shallow it ,people need to know how to redirect the club head on transition.

Here is what I came up with. Student add 100+ yards. Another member adds 60 yards from free info. Third one has a better timing due to being able to be consistent than any tour pro and he had 12 modern golf trainers over a 5 year period like you Mike over 5 years. I did one session with him. Anyhow, keep up the guesswork.

In the words of John McEnroe and Tiger Woods regarding tipping: YOU cAn’T BE SeRiOUs!!!!! For god’s sakes, there’s NO such thing as a thing. In any sport.

I think Leadbetter ruined Michelle Wie.

Maybe she just wasn't as great as sold. She has five wins in over 250 tournaments. Many of the younger players have as many or more wins in far fewer events.
