[@lllllsp1d3rlllll]

Not it's a jumbled contradiction.sam Snead had what's called a one piece swing ask Jack nicholas.sam Snead was the best golfer if his generation.his hand go back to we're they began the club takes the same exact path on the downswing as it did on the back swing.very robotic.

[@ProSwingAdvice]

Clearly hasnt see my channel yet

[@TheWedgeWizard]

@@lllllsp1d3rlllll yes…but you’re confusing terms. Snead had a one piece takeaway yes, that is key to a nice coil & good swing but he also had a one plane swing meaning his backswing & downswing planes were about the same opposed to higher hands at the top dropping into the slot aka 2 plane swing. Not to be confused with single plane which is something entirely different referring to the address plane. For example Tiger woods 1 plane swing as well, Justin Thomas has a 2 plane but both of them have a 1 piece takeaway.

[@JojohnWick]

Ive been swing with my arms only all this time, now trying to get the idea of lower body movement

[@mattg.4108]

He understands how movement turns into power like nobody else. Amazing.

[@mrsmartypants_1]

Actually this is based entirely on Mike Austin’s teachings. You should check him out. Especially the vids where Mike is wearing a skeleton suit. It’s as informative as it is unique. Mike was the most knowledgeable person in history to apply his vast knowledge of the human body to maximizing power in the golf swing. He had a beautiful swing and often drove the ball 320+ yards. That was in the 60’s with a persimmon driver and balata ball. He literally would hit it 50 to 100 yards farther than the tours longest hitters today with the same equipment. (Rory, Bryson…)

[@truthfulpatriot9129]

Cowen is a Master Instructor

[@trexinvert]

The biggest problem is the "head" stays glued square down looking and "prevents" the body from turning. If you close your eyes and not look at the ball. Just let your head turn. Now you got it. You just need to sense your spine and balance. Don't keep two eyes on the ball. Just keep the ball within the peripheral vision of one eye. Key.

[@John-wg1jh]

I find Mr. Cowen very intimidating. He scares the heck out of me.

How do you move your hip up during the backswing without your feet coming off the ground

[@therealgolfsecrets]

Don't try to lift the hip up. It will happen without trying: Push the trail foot into the ground to drive the trail hip straight back (deep as your body will allow). The trail hip will lift up and back on itself without trying. * Click on the Pete Cowen Playlist on this channel and watch the lesson, "up = deep" 🍻

That’s the greatest tip that I need.Thank you!

[@Niner14766]

Wow. What a god damn explanation 😳

[@thomasfraser9072]

Great explanation of continual angular momentum in a great golf swing which is linear and rotation is one move not two separate moves. They must go together like a horse and carriage in our golf swing. Our body turning around or our club head turning around us is double or even triple boggy golf. Cheers 👍😃⛳️🥂❤️

[@sailingmahina1]

Hogan and Snead style swing encompass baseball swing fundamentals, old school swing mechanics, left knee has to turn deeper to load the power rearward. Spiral the lead arm like Hogan for lower swing plane. This up and down loading equals back injuries. just ask Ben Hogan😂😂😂

[@jeffp2001]

How do you get pressure in your back foot heal working your back hip up?

[@therealgolfsecrets]

Pete keeps pressure on the ball of his foot. Don't try to make the hip go up. It will happen naturally. Just put pressure into the ground from the inside of your trail foot. This will force the hip socket straight back and up slightly without thinking about it. The key is to not sway.

[@jeffp2001]

@@therealgolfsecrets swaying isn’t my problem I was told I leave my weight on my front foot then on the down swing I end up hanging back on my back foot. Thx

[@therealgolfsecrets]

@jeffp2001 Falling back in the down swing is common. An old school drill that helps reverse this habit is to hit balls while only standing on the lead foot. It makes a good chipping drill as well.

[@Dfjuzvh1453]

[@LucasSjögren-e4x]

When i try to move my right hip up my whole body goes down. I dont understand how to get the hip up and maintain posture and staying tall....

[@therealgolfsecrets]

I think you might be focusing too much on the "up". Focus on a deep (straight back) rearward hip movement and the "up" will happen naturally. Try setting up like Pete does in this video but take your hand and push the trail hip straight back (*while shifting a majority of your weight onto your trail leg). You will find the that the hip will rise up naturally without trying.

[@blaynewayne]

Probably the best thing I’ve heard about the golf swing in a while. Great explanation of the spiral turn.

[@agolfproandhisdog]

would lifting the left heel in backswing help

[@therealgolfsecrets]

If you lack flexability then it would be benificial

[@MrPixelous]

I was just last night working on my take away positioning and I noticed in my shadow my butt kicking out around to the left back toward to target. I was wondering how to stop it knowing that it wasn’t the correct movement. Voila. There it is.

[@integrito3323]

Go on Pete.

[@johnschwartz1536]

Excellent point Pete! This explained up turn makes a lot of sense!

[@mikeaustingolf]

This is Austin's compound pivot. Great! Pete is one of the best teachers I know.

[@therealgolfsecrets]

Yes, but without Mike's K and reverse K pivot leverage system. Austin didn't pressure his hips straight down into the ground in the downswing like Cowen and Sam Snead do/did. Two completly different swings.

[@mikeaustingolf]

@@therealgolfsecrets Don't think so much detail. There are two principles that allow you to swing a club on plane. #1 A slightly swinging spine (Monti, Geiberger Sybervision, Snead, Singh, Tiger, Rory and all the top players) get's the arms on plane. #2 A counter rotation between upper arms and forearms gets the club on plane.

[@mattaitken888]

@@therealgolfsecrets Totally agree. If you watch Tom Watson 'The Secret' - and watch Mike Austin in his skeleton suit - even read Nick Faldo's books (who admits as he got older, allowed his heel to come up off the floor to play well in the US Open), you can see that it is the shoulder's as the hub of the swing which is the only thing that really matters. If you are Rickie Fowler and have naturally long ligaments with hyperflexion, then sure, keep your feet on the floor why not. But for mere mortals (most of us), I feel it is worth experimenting. I know I have drawn my own conclusions, I will let you draw yours. How you release your hands, posture (head over feet, balls of the feet) is also critical and defines consistency and ball flight, which takes discipline and practice. There's no one way to do it entirely, and different swing triggers and planes can also be used within reason.

[@davidmcnamara3243]

Seems like he is twisting the spine as an axil, with no leverage! Hmm : I think I'll pass on this one!

[@obxarms7685]

Cowen is a Guru..

[@willielarsson9651]

Great tip.. should your weight be mostly on your left side with irons as you wind up

[@therealgolfsecrets]

Chipping: your weight remains up front. Short irons: weight balanced but favoring front foot. For full iron swings and woods: transfer force into back foot with a full coil (like in this vid).

[@natejohnson6712]

Love his natural plane of his backswing. Such a strong and sound set position

[@bubbawatnui7164]

Best tip ever

[@Rd-bi7vr]

How can right hip go up?

[@therealgolfsecrets]

The hip goes up slightly because of how the hip socket works. If you just push your hip back deep behind you, the "up" will happen naturally, and you won't have to think about it. Tiger Woods uses the word deep. I like this word better because the "up" might make someone try to lift up unnaturally.

[@Rd-bi7vr]

@@therealgolfsecrets appreciate it . I am working on flexing my lead knee more which also seems to help. Never the less higher right hip is a must to strike irons consistently and compress them properly.

Real - “existing in fact and not imaginary:”, Golf - “a game played outside on grass in which each player tries to hit a small ball into a series of nine or 18 small holes, using a long, thin stick:” Secrets - “a piece of information that is only known by one person or a few people and should not be told to others:” (Cambridge online dictionary). Perfect description of your philosophy, right?

So fucking true

[@kentchia9157]

Love the explanation there

[@BroncoYeller]

He simply nails it.

[@DASH1ful]

Yes, the hip has to move "up and back on itself" but the hands and arms can't "spiral" with the hip. When the left side of the right forearm is facing straight in front, the arm has to lever back to the top of the backswing. So, the danger in focusing on the hip is that the arms can adopt the same pattern of movement. So, really we have to find a way of getting the hip into position without actually focusing on getting it into position. And, the solution to that is quite simple.

[@therealgolfsecrets]

The hands and arms are attached to the body... so if the hip spirals up and back, the arms will passively move with it, putting them in the correct slot (without thinking about it). You don't need to find the right slot during the backswing if the lower body/hips move correctly. Watch all the Pete Cowen vids on this channel for clarification.

Just do stack and tilt instead.

[@rcg9573]

The only way the right hip can go up from the ground during the backswing is you either straighten out the rear trailing leg slightly lifting that part of your body or you tilt your upper body towards the target doing a reverse pivot type thing. He must be talking about the slight straightening the rear leg.

[@geraldhall7100]

Not so, the inword bending of the left knee brings the left hip down which automatically brings the right hip up. And if you are setting your weight into the inside part of your right heel, you will be in a perfect position to move back down and threw the ball to the finish position.

No need for any more lessons then? All sorted. Why all the pros keep needing him? If it is so simple?

[@Hashst3ven]

Imma guess you’re being genuinely curious and a beginner. Multiple reasons why pro’s go to their coaches. One, they feel like their mechanics are drifting from what they learned and need a tune up. Two, the new movement they learned becomes natural but start affecting another movement which can happen. Three, certain areas of their game are costing them strokes so they are building a plan to minimize mistakes. There are many more reasons and keep in mind, pro’s from what I know do not go to their coaches every week like some recreational golfers. More like once a month for a touch up or sometimes just whenever they feel like something is off
