Player Lesson With Ashley Huizing: Minimizing Hand/Forearm Rotation for More Consistency and Power

[@terrymccusker7779]

Sir I was a Phy.Ed. Kinesiology major with a masters in Learning Disabilities and I know a outstanding teacher when I see one…IMO you are the best TEACHER I’ve witnessed on KZbin

[@roadtoscratchgolf3481]

Mike, the exit to the left is so important. It took me a while to realize how important it is in a good golf swing. Now, before every swing I tell myself “exit stage left.” Cheers.

[@Blackhorseveteran]

Just stumbled upon this, and it's just what I've been having issues with. After knee surgery, and trying to get the swing back, but now I see I've been sliding instead of turning, and getting stuck, and hitting behind the ball at times..thanks Mike !!

[@arthurford829]

Pure gold at about 13:57! Many instructors will tell you golf is a left handed swing. Mike will tell you, you’re right-handed, train the right hand first.

[@craigg2058]

Was just coming on here to say this is gold lol I’m at the 10:46 mark. I’ve been trying to land more on my lead ball of foot then push back but by that time my knee is further in front. This makes more sense to me but still gotta try it.

[@punsakkaewkanchanaroj7610]

From Thailand. Best lesson. Now I understand golfswing better. Thank you Mike Malaska.

[@nakoloc1040]

Steve Pratt just came out w a vid 2 days ago, espousing (and dealing w the same objections) what you’ve been teaching for decades. This is TRUTH in golf! Good stuff, Mike!

[@danielbaker781]

Outstanding (as usual) from Mike. Ashley was on before a number of years ago for a lesson with Mike and that was another nice gem of a video lesson.

[@Maverickjs74]

Wow, ah-ha moment for me at 10:03 "The Left Hip moves back to meet the Right Hip" I've watched your other Hip videos many times but never appreciated this. I've been concentrating on trying to tip the club out and thought my Hip movement was ok. I tried to focus on the left hip moving back to meet right hip when I was out on the course and whilst it wasn't intuitive I certainly played much better than usual. Can't wait to get the range to work on this. Thanks

[@bj146651]

When I do that I keep leaving all weight on back leg. Do you float a little to lead side. I push right hip back I get that and then do I float lightly and then push left hip back? What are you feeling or doing to go from back to front hip? Thank you

[@tomnaughton395]

Fantastic video. I have noticed with many of the best U Tube instructors that the toes of the front foot foot lift up through impact, as demonstrated here. I have been having trouble with pain in the outside of my front ankle after impact, probably because of keeping my ankle too rigid. I look forward to doing this front hip and front toes move. God Bless you, Mike Malaska.

[@BloodySoup74]

One of the greatest lessons I've ever watched. No doubt.

[@MeandMyStaffy]

LOL

[@ronnyr9760]

This is why we love your teaching Mike: you tell us how to be practical and not to chase rainbow in the “mystery golf”!

[@quincydailey7079]

My goodness. I have been making great progress lately but this tip concerns the lead foot action just elevated by ball contact consistency! Thank you Mr. Malaska!

[@patrickhoward4080]

Hey Mike…a big thank you for posting this lesson video. Every single thing you discussed with her in this video is precisely what I am doing that gives me inconsistencies. I need to come see you for a series of lessons man!!! Fix me!!!! 😢😢😢 😂

[@Gumballa87]

she is frkn awesome. And Malaska is great at teaching.

[@johnbeard3733]

For sure!

[@davidmcleish758]

Wonderful to see how happy she is when it "clicks", what a delightful lady (super golfer and a great giggler :) ). Equally pleasing to see how much Mr Malaska enjoys seeing a pupil benefitting from his instruction. I'd put this in the top videos on KZbin as far as golf instruction is concerned, informative, easy to follow, simple to perform and they are having FUN. Thank you so much,.

[@richyclubsport5155]

This really is top class instruction, reminds me of a video with Eric on how the left hip works

[@jonallsop7502]

Love the realistic comments on the influence of strength/mobility vs. swing mechanics. The former's influence has been overplayed recently, especially with the advent of various 'movement screening' tests.

[@ronnyr9760]

I cannot stop laughing as I watch! It makes a perfect team and she is truly learning something and enjoying that!

[@myballzonurface]

Some absolute nuggets in this video... thank you Mike.

[@mattbakergolf]

Great video and such an important lesson 🙌🙌

[@lens7859]

Great feeling when a student has that lightbulb moment

[@jayfixesthings]

I pull my irons and have been trying everything to fix it. I’m doing this tomorrow at practice. Thanks Mike

[@Kridian01]

Do the chips first, so you train the hands for that new feel.

[@golfish8589]

I think Ashley is going to need constant remider for a wile to keep the right hip back aeay from yhe ball. I just found Mr. Malaska's videos a few weeks ago. And they are great. It has solidified my left hip back theory that i realized a month ago to stop me from hitting the ball fat all the time. Keeping the right hip back while rotating the left hip out of the way actually moves your lower body and bottom of swing arc ahead of the ball.

[@tonyjohnson9092]

Loved the video...although I might have missed it if the lovely Ashley wasn't in the thumbnail. One huge advantage of your hip movement teaching that you didn't mention is how it helps us who struggle getting their weight off the trail leg. I have tried the "step through" drill and keeping my trail leg behind me but neither helped me. Your drill practically solved my problem in a few swings. Thank you for that. Downside is I have to re-learn chipping speeds because they now fly higher, carry further and spin back.

[@Jack-g7i5q]

Not sure if you saw my earlier text but bogged last hole for an 80. First nine a little iffy bit had it on back. 2” from eagle with 52* hitting much better iron shots. Best video I’ve seen from you that really shows us what you want us to do. Again THANK YOU!

[@golfish8589]

I did Moe Norman's swing for a year. Pay more attention to what Moe was doing rather then saying. Moe kept his right foot on the ground which kept his right hip back. Same as in Mike's video. Moe and Mike are virtually teaching the same thing. Just using different words. Moe had a week left hand and a very very strong right hand. This is why Moe said he had the feelng of his right palm facing up on the down swing. I recently saw one of Mike's videos where he swung the club like a baseball bat. Then kept lowering each swing until he got down to the ball without changing the swing. It reminded me od the last time i played. On the 18th i had the ball 14-16 inches above me feet. I swung easy and crushed it.

[@antikytheramechanism7909]

I love this lady's personality.

[@donniecorrigan8519]

One of the best info right there!

[@nbargolf]

great lesson Mike.

[@craigg2058]

Hey Mike, do you have a vids of your swing from back in the day? I think most people don’t realize you played professionally and in a major so the advice and teachings you are giving are very helpful.

[@deeterfly]

amazing video and lesson. thank you.

[@josephcoble9681]

That’s exactly what I need!!!

[@lincolnsilver5622]

Mike, (for right handed golfers) looking at the lower right forearm above the wrist, should the radius remain aligned 'on top of' the ulna entering and exiting the impact zone; while at the same time, looking at the left lower left forearm, the radius 'trails' the ulna when entering and exiting the impact zone? Thanks!

[@jeanlouisgene9176]

I’ve been watching your videos and you’re a fantastic teacher. I already have a strong grip and learning not to flip with your help. Still struggling with the long irons and not hitting clean. Is there any difference with long irons?

[@larrypruitt3919]

[@barryread3672]

Fantastic stuff Mike!

[@ayotollaofrockandrolla7219]

Great video. Why i play from a closed stance. Really feel like im owning my swing like moe felt. I love my swing

[@BlackjackCZ]

Great lesson. I need to work on this.

[@tdhawk7284]

Very interesting to hear Mike’s take on Hogan. A lot of instructors (e.g., Jim Hardy) claim just the opposite - that Hogan’s swing was not timing based and minimized forearm rotation. Not sure who to believe. I guess I don’t care if MY swing works. 😃

[@TroyStevens430]

🎯 precisely why I use an open stance. Makes rotating to the left so much easier on the legs.

[@markjohnson5231]

Love this video but I'm confused as to how you add arm speed. I've seen my swing speed go up since focusing on the arms like I have seen in many of Mr. Malaska's other videos but with the left hip pushing back and pulling everything thru, when does one add arm speed, etc?

[@DA-mk9ob]

Can’t synch up impact with pushing left leg. Is this something I just have to learn with feel. If I do it too early I hit thin low pulls, if I push too late I hit flares.

[@ronnyr9760]

Mike, should the left hand “flip” on the back swing just like the right hand in the down and through swing???

[@wobkgs]

Anybody know if there is any difference between pushing the hip open with the left leg and pushing it open with pressing it back with the left foot.

[@jessecooper9795]

Let mike get behind you and see what you feel 🤣

[@7879386]

Hogan's swing worked for Hogan. Malaska is correct.

[@sepetisionelatu5539]

Ok when is the full swing coming out because this was way good, thank you.

[@TheTurfrex]

Sasquatch alert. I just saw it lurking in the right out of bounds area!! PS. Great instructional video, Mike. One of your best!

[@ajaikumarrana9817]

Oh yes... I understand the whole swing story

[@chachichochacorta8577]

Great session, Mike. I've seen various KZbin videos of coaching sessions. Some tend to over-explain, others overwork the student with achieving positions throughout the swing. How do you find the balance between over-explaining/overwork positions vs. letting the student figure it out on their own during the session?

[@thomasfraser9072]

Most excellent video! 🫵👍👍👍👍👍👌😊 Bobby Jones years ago said to execute the downswing the small fast twitch muscles of the lead hip to pull the lead hip out of the way as this also drives the trail hip towards the target. So under the laws of physics of course the left leg pushes the hip out of the way during the exact same moment the small twitch muscles pulls the lead hip out of the way. So for my downswing I simply think of firing pulling my lead hip out of the way which then turns my trail hip towards my target. And the chain of events of the downswing happens automatically for me. Just as Ben Hogan writes in lesson 5 And believe me it works. Cheers😊🥂👍

[@thomasfraser9072]

@@golfish8589 the right hip moves in conjunction to the lead hip pulling back.

[@golfish8589]

@@thomasfraser9072 I am not sure what you mean by in conjunction. The trail hip should not move toward he ball at all. Or as little as possible. Mike is not teaching that the spine in the hip area is the center of rotation. Mike is pulling back on the lead hip. He is not pushing on the trail hip at all. The trail hip will move toward the target as the left hip goes back. The two are connected so when the lead hip goes back It pulls the trail hip with it. Going back to the spine in the hip area not being the center of rotation. Mike is pulling he lead hip straight back. He is not making the lead hip rotate around the spine, That would push the trail hip toward the ball and crowd that area. Early extension. Watch mike's hips when he demonstraits. If he lead hip rotated around the spine. then the lead foots toes would not rise up. A picture/movie clip is worth a thousand words. Does this make sense or am i seeing it differently? Thanks ...The trail hip is almost being the center of rotation.

[@ronnyr9760]

It appears Mike loves this lovely and happy talking woman who understands what she hears from Mike. Great dynamism!

[@edu2857]

Mike, it seems like most amateurs can’t move their hips out of the way bc their pressure isn’t properly in the left foot then heal.

[@arthurford829]

That’s where Mike shines! He’s a master communicator. He’ll tell you, his job is to teach you the concept, your job is to go home and master it. Most people don’t want to put in the work and jump on KZbin!
