Milo is a *great* instructor. Finds root causes quickly, knows how to fix those root causes, and communicates in a way that’s easy to understand. I’m lucky enough to be able to see him here in AZ. If I wasn’t, I’d definitely hit up his online coaching program. You rock Milo!

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks Kevin.

Keeping the right hip back in transition solves so many problems. Great video.

Perfect refresher Milo! I was already working on most of these things. But it is awesome to have a real-life example and a demonstration of the key concepts. Very grateful to you for these reinforcements. Please don't assume that you have made these points before, and hence there is no need for repetition. These mini lesson videos really help. Thank you!

This was a nice transformation, thanks for watching!

[@eirikwalle2616]

Thank you Milo! I have been looking at his videos for a couple of years. All this input has taken me back to former scratch golf. At 47 i have the power i had at 20 and really enjoying my golf here in Norway. Can not wait for the snow too melt ;-)

Great to hear! If I can help any further, please do check out my online academy at milolinesgolf.com. Norway looks incredible!

[@nickland9087]

Fits me exactly! Have been a low handicap amateur even with early extension, but recent attempts to fix it have not been entirely successful. Will persevere with this drill and hopefully fix it for good!

[@josephwirtz8352]

Me too…😞

[@ReSourceEnergetics]

I’ve had to practice in slow mo with tempo, repeatedly into a net to move through this. If I get to normal speed too fast, I fall back into old patterns. Especially easy to do when you have the hit from the top urges :)

[@mauricerobertson1676]

Love this great instructor

[@MiloLinesGolf]

I appreciate that!

[@rickcicalo410]

My favourite KZbin instructor. Love, Love, Love this video!! Moving the right hip back, away from the target line on the takeaway, is the least emphasized part of the backswing in golf instruction but it is one of the most important. It also helps avoid "over the top", one of the most prevalent faults plaguing amateurs. The most harmful piece of "golf instruction" to me was to lock your right leg and turn your shoulders. This was supposed to maximize the difference in the angle of the hips versus the shoulders creating a larger "X-Factor" resulting in more power. No. It results in a weak, out to in downswing, creating a slap swipe at the ball, resulting in a slice, or a duck hook if you close the face. Trust me. Been there.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks for following along Rick!

[@josephwirtz8352]

I’m there now…no compression is the norm with this fault…I get plenty of clubhead speed but very little compression because it’s a flicky contact…

[@temporarystranger95]

Outstanding! Great work with Ted. Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks so much Milo I have been to the range and practiced this as I wasn’t clearing my right hip, was getting a beautiful draw which has been eluding me for some time. Hope I can make it work on the course in the next qualifier 😀👍

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Great to hear James, let me know if I can be of any further help!

[@migbgold3191]

Boy that face being open especially in the early transition down from the top of backswing is a real killer! It seems to be a real culprit and root cause for so many of the compensation moves in golf.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks for watching!

[@tm_aus6672]

Wow this one video has put me into some golf positions that I have been trying to achieve for years without success. I've gone from an over the top swing (something I'd thought I'd be stuck with forever) to hitting booming draws with massive lag / lower ball flight. Going to give your subscription a go.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Fantastic!

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks Jesse!

[@kevinvandaalen3890]

0:18 Interested to hear your thoughts on trail knee movement on his “after” swing (swinging out slightly as opposed to straightening) and the appearance of his head seemingly still not quite covering the ball at impact. Are these minor “faults” that Ted will continue to have to work on? IMO the new trail knee movement makes hip rotation easier. As for his head position…only an issue if it leads to centeredness of contact issues, correct? Thanks!!

[@ruatoomey9107]

Like this, well explained. I do suffer from a big block every now and again trying to give a little extra power.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks for watching Rua, I'd have to see your swing to give you feedback. If I can help any further, please do check out my online academy at milolinesgolf.com

Outstanding. If I would just remember inside trail foot pressure it would set everything up afterwards

[@tinytoons2517]

We have a saying where we come from, it goes a bit like this . . You can root a beet but you can't beat a root ! enough of semantics now lets just say I checked my backswing for errors and you a right I caught myself going over the edge . . . thanks Milo.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

👍

[@paulnguyen954]

This is a common issue for most of us ! My right hip used to slide to the right for a good 2-3 inches .

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks for watching!

[@Guldonia]

I am working about 2 years now very hard on not to Spin Out.. And the "sitting" Motion in Transition is the only thing that helped me stay more on the tush Line.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

That's a good move to work on, reflexing into the ground. This video can be helpful for that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZiTdICimpacr6s

[@golfdoc1950]

I've struggled with staying in posture during the swing and the fix I happened upon the other day centered on two problems that emerged from this: first, I was susceptible to topping the ball, even with decent weight shift forward. Second, I hit many shots off the toe of the club because my swing path was over the top. Solution is to push my lead glute back rather than simply extending my lead leg. The extension still occurs but I have enough room for the swing path to come from the inside. This is similar to what Milo had his player do by keeping the trail hip from getting in the way. My percentage of center hits has increased and the topping has (so far) not re-emerged.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Good to hear Dan and thanks for following along. If I can be of further help moving forward, be sure to check out my online academy at milolinesgolf.com.

[@bjohnson515]

Milo....a topic for a video.. Over the Top from the inside....your thoughts? I guess its another way to describe covering the ball, but I invite your thoughts. Thanks for all the great content.

Feel like have seen some of my swings and talking to me directly 😳. Nice video

[@tedphillips3119]

Hey my name is Ted and I found this very helpful. We have the same problem and name.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Haha, glad it was helpful!

[@ReSourceEnergetics]

Milo, So good… without that depth you have to make up that four to six inches back to the ball (to in front of where you started). Seems like the depth is actually rotation plus that move back toward target so that from the top you only have to squat and rotate (same move) vs get back to ball or rotate (can’t do both in such a short time). An example of an expert teacher is one that can teach the same thing many different ways. You have talked about this probably 7 or 8 different ways, which allows you to continue to connect with a wider audience. Much appreciated! Alan

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Gotta have multiple ways of saying the same thing! Thanks for watching Alan!

[@jordonzimmerly]

Thanks for the tips, Milo. I’d like to apply these. I think my grip is good, but how do I know if the face is too open? Strictly by where it’s pointing at the top of the backswing? Some other checkpoint?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

I'd have to see your swing Jordon to give you the best feedback as there are different matchups. If I can help further please check out my online academy at milolinesgolf.com.

[@josephwirtz8352]

Milo, excellent well presented lesson sir, thank you! I am committing to this instruction, especially #2 because of all you’ve outlined as well as the fact that I can’t compress my shots while committing these faults. I’m confused about #1 and the grip though. Is the weak grip a result of the faults in #2, or was it a standalone issue just at address?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Hard to say which came first but I’d guess he always early extended and flipped so he simply matched the grip so he didn’t hook it too bad.

[@tbates757]

Are you ok with the right leg fully straightened in the backswing?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Not my preference

What's an impossible move?

[@Raggmuff]

@@MiloLinesGolf The realities of keeping the hip back and sitting and rotating through are virtually impossible. I have been working on this since last Feb and its the same breakdowns. Thus making it impossible (To Me). Its just to hard coming from an early extension. Its going to take another 3 years of this crap before it overrides. Plus not to mention the hand path and everything else that also has to change from just simply improving "Hip Depth"
