Pushing off the BACK FOOT. The dumbest IDEA ever!

[@davidmcnamara3243]

Absolutely, bang on. The feel at transition, is a heavy left hip, followed by the falling down of the left hip. If we try and manipulate these positions, the clubhead will be mechanically decoupled from the rotating mass. Ie the arms and torso, will be moving out of phaze! The speed of gravity, is the only constant, we can rely on and we need to harness it, for the " free ride"!

[@Hacker-xe8yv]

Excellent! In keeping with Jack Nicklaus' "left heel socks down..." or Shawn Foley's "squash the tomato with your left foot" or feet together and swing leading with a left foot "step towards the target" which is almost an instinctive move if you let it. It's load and step, not load and push. The falling description clarifies what causes the "socking down", "squashing the tomato" or the "step towards target".

[@TheOnlyStonemason]

David Lee is the first person I heard talk about using gravity to get to the front axis of rotation. Just recently found your channel and really love the simplicity. People should look at Kyle Berkshire the current long drive champion. You may want to reference him. I am working my way through your videos and haven’t watched them all yet. My only suggestion thus far would be to come up with drills to speed up the learning process. The difficulty with golf is that it is not easy to determine the difference b/w hand-eye coordination and quality of technique. You are really onto something! Kudos to you!

[@wjyavelak]

Nice. There is a deflection of the mass falling forward toward the target in the direction behind the back of the person swinging. The force vector of the fall is then deflected to something like 15 to 30 degrees left of a line parallel with the target. This was the view of Lee from Gravity Golf that has been such a helpful change in understanding for so many. Very nicely illustrated here. If the fall and deflection is not done, then some muscular activation of the arms, shoulders, hands, pelvis, or legs has to be exerted to keep the force of the arms and club swinging in front of the body from pulling the body into and down into the ball and slightly to the right of the ball during the downswing. The cerebellum which is responsible for balance can detect this force pulling into the ball and right of ball and 'knows' it is about to bury the club into the ground behind the ball --- a common reaction is to 'stand up' lift with the shoulder, tighten the arms, shoving the hips forward toward the ball, and more.... consistent solid contact becomes almost impossible as all this is too much to time.

[@IIrandhandleII]

A pitcher definitely pushes off the mound that is their trail foot....

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

That happens before the throw. Watch closely and you'll see a pitcher is falling forward while he's still winding up. The "throw" doesn't happen until that front foot hits the ground. If you don't believe me try to run and throw at the same time and see how well that works.

[@markme3259]

...I spent 30 years bumping my hips to start the swing...and all I got was a lousy game and a wretched hip...but that was always meant to be a lateral movement...well nowadays you can throw that in a garbage can, weld it shut and throw it in the swamp...however, one must never confuse the mechanics of one swing with another...for instance take Inbee Park...she starts her swing with a bump of the hips initiated with a back leg push off...and I only dream of hitting it like her...but she is the only female golfer with those swing mechanics...so yes, you are right, you shouldn’t push off with the back foot...but that’s in the Holy Grail swing...however, recognize that the HG swing is an arm swing ( hitting to 7:30 ) and finished as the body ( hips) react to the head of the club...but to be sure , you should not mix the paradigms of one swing with the paradigms of another swing...for instance, you can’t say Canadian football is not football because they have 3 downs instead of 4 in the American game...so when you show pushing off the back foot, with a HG backswing you have convoluted the mechanics...and the reason is because pushing off the back foot requires completely different set of mechanics to create a torque between your hips and shoulders ( aka X factor , Body Swing )...and this is why you alluded to the fact that other coaches have disagreed with you in the past...ultimately you are arguing apples and oranges..so how does a 105 pound Korean girl hit 290 yards...the answer is she hits with her hips and her arms whip around..in the HG swing you mention ‘relax’ at the top, and that means no torque, and then falling forward...absolutely different swing mechanics...mechanics that are completely different from Stack n’ TILT, Vertical SWING, The Body Swing , to mention a few that all work....so I take exception to the fact that in the video you say pushing off doesn’t work, when you aren’t doing the corresponding torque inducing backswing...but with said, the HG swing works very effectively...and without a doubt, your detailed video explanations explain every facet of the HG swing...and although I’ve only practiced indoors, I have smoked the ball...and what I find, it’s very easy on the joints, more so than any other method...something that is so very important to senior golfers...so keep them videos a rolling!

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

Well said and I agree with you for the most part. Where I disagree is the storage of torque. If you think about it when you throw a ball you're able to store torque in your arm because it's relaxed and essentially allows the twist and torque to be stored before the muscles tighten and take over removing the stored torque and throwing the ball. If your arm is tense the whole time, you'll never store that torque in the arm. It's the relaxation that allows the torque to be stored. I think this is what we know as effortless power like Fred Couples and Cameron Champ. Neither of them look like they're tense at any point in their swing. They look relaxed, but clearly they turn on the power when they need it. I'm trying my best not to convolute things and keep things simple. I have made a newer video where I talk about how I may have been a bit wrong about this video but not in a way anyone would think. You can push off the back foot but it's completely backward from what you'd think and it's not easy to do and I'm not sure it's beneficial to the overall swing. The HG swing isn't really revolutionary it's just stating the obvious that everyone else misses. Everyone who hits the ball well is doing it without knowing it. It's just that simple. All I've done is simply state what is actually happening rather than when people think is happening.

[@ulster7717]

You are correct. A biomechanics study some years ago proved the trail foot does not push off as advocated by coaches like Sean Foley. It was able to show it was virtually the opposite as the right foot was applying a torque on the ground AWAY from the target.

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

I didn't have the advantage of biomechanics or a force plate. It's all empirical evidence for me.

[@Melted_Butter]

When you say torque AWAY from the target, does that mean the right foot screwing clockwise into the ground?

[@ulster7717]

@@Melted_Butter . That’s correct. As the golfer looks down at the ball the study revealed that the golfers right foot was torquing clockwise. The golfer in the study an elite amateur (+3) was also shown to get most of his speed from his hands and arms. (300 + yard drives). The contrary view is that toque is ( a reaction) caused by the golfers upper body action in the opposite direction.

[@Melted_Butter]

Ulster thanks for the clarification 👍🏼

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

​@@Melted_Butter I can't find where I said that. Anyway, I wouldn't think of it as screwing into the ground as much as a sheer force against the ground. As I described in one of my other videos, to turn the hips away and begin the swing we push forward with the right foot as if you're trying to slide it forward but because it doesn't slide on the ground, your hips move instead. Once the body is turned away then the focus is on the front foot pushing forward just like we did with the back foot and that brings us around through impact. Here's the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp_CfZauqLufm5Y

[@brendanmuldoongolf9613]

I’ve honestly never seen anyone advocating a push like you demonstrate, I have, however , seen someone using the inside of their right foot to push the right hip through and around- I use it myself!

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

Oh, I've had many an argument about pushing off the back foot. Many instructors absolutely believe they do it. The problem is they tell people to do it, and they actually do it which destroys all athletic motion.

[@kooijbas]

I'm guessing you know who Mike Malaska is right? 😄 He teaches this as well. However, he does not advocate forearm rotation. He says that's done predominantly by the shoulder socket.

[@Prophecy23JC]

What is your thoughts on the actual activation of your core or lats in the swing? You are keeping your arms loose. Is there any muscles you are flexing during your swing? Also, how do you control ball flight? As well, what about shot shaping? Been binging your videos. Havent seem anything on these things.

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

You're right. I haven't done a video about shaping shots. I probably should although if you can hit the ball straight you can play anywhere. I don't actively activate any specific muscle purposely. My body just does whatever it needs to to complete the task at hand. The basic idea is to just have one task that you think about and if that one task is proper everything else happens naturally.

[@PatBuckleyracecar]

Push with right foot first then transition to bracing with left foot.

[@thomasdavico3107]

Firstly, let's establish the direction in which force in the right foot can travel by design. Secondly, in your case you come away from left bend very early in your motion therefore require a sinking right leg/pelvis in order to strike the ball. The right foot can absolutely push off if you load into it in transition, but it depends on how you choose to pivot as to whether it becomes a necessary match up. Always coach the person in front of you 👍

[@jjpac2011]

This is a great tip and gonna try it tomorrow. This move can be violent if you want more power and clubhead speed. I'm wondering if it can lead to knee and hip problems later.

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

If you over-do it, sure. Tiger jacked his knee because he was snapping it straight and hyper-extending it. This is a natural action that you shouldn't have to think about. The problem really is that adults overthink the golf swing to death and lose all their natural motion and movements. It'd be like trying to walk by trying to actively control each and every muscle.

[@kurtheitman552]

I actually visualized a pitcher's throwing motion when that kid at Top Golf was doing his natural swing. Kind of a natural hybrid. Have you ever heard of George Hibbard?

Excellent analysis. The fall from the top is an interesting thought on starting the downswing. I would assume you would just free fall a few inches toward the ball line and then catch yourself with the rest of your downswing, thru the ball and towards the target. This theory made go back and look at Cameron Champ as he seems to fall into his downswing.

[@dmartins3531]

You are correct there is a look of a push off but it is indeed a fall to the front foot, if you actually pushed off you would land so much further down the line

A long time ago, in a VHS world.... There was a system that came out called Gravity Golf by David Lee. The heave, then counterfall, were key components. Their KZbin channel is still going today and his son, Daniel, has taken the wheel. But he gave examples in other sports and one of them was a place kicker in football. How they plant and go "off vertical". A lot of people write it off because of the heave. It employs an insane amount of flying right elbow, so I think it puts people off, but the principles off counterfall are related to what you're saying in this video. Great stuff!

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

I'm familiar with Gravity Golf. I'm not advocating anything any athletic person isn't already doing. What I'm illustrating is what actually happen and what people think is happening are completely opposite. So, when they try to do what they think they see it's fails miserably. Knowing what actually happens makes a huge difference in the ability to perform.

[@GolfTestDummy]

@@HolyGrailOfGolf Agree with that completely. I think the technology we have today is awesome, but it has created an entire vein of data and still frames that mislead a lot of us.

[@thomasfraser9072]

Sorry Overhand. You just demonstrated a great way for golfers to blow their knee out of their joints. The golf swing is a two axle , two lever, two pendulum swing and the weight shift should be barely detectable by the golfer or if it is; not forced in any way. If all golfer were to become skeletal players and simply allow all the bones in their body to push back altogether on their backswing and foreword altogether on the downswing swing Newton laws in a golf swing would be obeyed every single time. All the muscles in our body certainly protect our bones and joints from collapsing on one another: but can only pull as we are swinging our club. So logic tell us our bones must push. Muscles have no sense of direction: only our bones and joints can give us that as both muscles and bones communicate with our central nervous system with our brain at the top of it. Your Holy Grail occurs by our pushing as hard or as softly as the golfer likes with all the bones and our joints equally at the very top of every golfers swing. This is when the head of the club repels itself. In fact you showed this happening very well when you invented your ‘turning club head’ and showed us in one of your videos Cheers

[@grahamjones7371]

Obviously the downswing is dominated by the left side in the way you describe But for me there is right side compression to add to the right sided pull/throw but the force is directed mainly into the ground and doesnt go further forward in the stance than where youre right knee finishes.Its a holding/compressing action not a push/drive.

[@davidlahiff1034]

Your comment is exactly what Australian Professional golf instructor Bradley Hughes advocates in his many videos. He says that you do not immediately shift over to your left side at the start of the downswing, but push down into the ground with your right foot. This action produces a counter action which activates the left side. Nearly all modern golf instructors advocate using the ground to create power and surely it is not just the left leg that does it. I believe that Bradley now coaches in South Carolina and is swing coach for Brandon Todd.

[@grahamjones7371]

@@davidlahiff1034 I think its a combination of both! The trouble I have with the left sided gravity fall is this would happen too slow . Obviously it helps but there has to be a dynamic/athletic action and/or the fall starts when the club is still halfway back.This guy has some great videos on here eg 3rd leg which have helped me get my hcp down to 4 at 60yr .There is one which Im feeling a lot now which he mentions in this video of the swing starting from club parallel on the downswing! I think this is roughly where HG is for me its late acceleration.

[@detlefstronk9479]

This is only one possibility. You also can start the downswing with your right foot if you press it down together with the holy grail move and then roll the inside of the right foot forwards. The left hip will turn by itself and you have enough room to swing the right arm. Every good tennis player knows this movement hitting a forceful forehand with an open stance.

Very interesting analysis. The falling part is actually how we humans walk. It’s a balancing act of falling forward off the planted to the other foot.

This is my new favorite golf channel. Thank you sir!

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

Years ago, I was a 3d animator. I worked on Tekken3. We studied the way the body works. We humans are incredibly lazy or should I say efficient. As you said, a walk is really a stumble forward or series of falling and catching ourselves. The interesting thing is that we only lift our foot off the ground just high enough that it doesn't drag. This is why we stubbed our toes as kids - we were learning how high we needed to lift the foot. A lot of what we do, we do naturally, if we allow ourselves to do it. If we think too much about it, you interrupt the process. That's what adults do with golf. Way too much thinking.

@@HolyGrailOfGolf my point is, your right foot (assuming a right handed golfer) should twist out (clockwise) and away from the target to propel you towards the lead side leg. Next: The left side should push up and back from the target at roughly 45* to allow you to accelerate vertically. Standing on cardboard or ice should demonstrate this.

If you aren't looking closely it does "look like" they're pushing off the back foot.

Sean Foley teach to push off for power to golf amateur's and obviously tour pros. I proved him wrong years ago, catching up?

[@Prophecy23JC]

Im not disagreeing. I just want you to search “Jack Nicklaus describing a leverage golf swing”, and tell me your thoughts.

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

Jack was typical of most good players. They thing they're doing something but they're actually doing something else that they're unaware of. Really, they just know how to do it, not explain it. Which is why most golf instruction is crap.

Please do not listen to this. Of course the pitcher doesn't throw like that, his arm acts as the golf club's whipping motion. It's a hinge. What this guy and people often don't understand is there are a lot of ways to be consistent and even hit the ball well, and all of them push of the back foot. Not off your toe, it feels like you push laterally off your heel/middle foot. Your welcome. And to say it's a MYTH is outrages lol. If you push off correctly, you go from hitting your 7i 150-160 to 180-190. Tiger woods isn't the only person who is ABLE to hit that far, he is just extremely consistent as well and knows how to push it and when to.

Don't be confused when u Google his 7i distances. I'm talking ability. You are ignorant as hell if u doubt that. Js man.

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

You clearly didn't watch the whole thing. You're one of those people who even though I can prove it's a myth, you still believe it's not. And most likely you're ready to argue your point about it. I'm not talking about the wind-up, I'm talking about the actual swing motion when we start to move the club toward the ball.

I agree with him..it is a myth. Sorry..
