"Running out of right arm" - Never heard that expression before, but that's great.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks for watching Dan!

[@christopherlook9226]

OMG!!!! Milo!! I have been "powering" through the ball and have felt like I crushed the ball only to find that I've lost at least two or more club lengths in distance! This morning I followed your instructions to the tee. All I concentrated on was making the turn all the way through to finish. I did not try to release or hit at the ball. As you said that all took care of itself. I relaxed as much as I could. The ball goes fairly straight and I don't feel like I've done anything but swing my arms around my central pivot point. The ball just disappeared and I've got my distance back or possibly more with a very much less complicated swing. Thank you so very much!

[@Mr.mallaer]

You are amusing.

[@windellmcspindell3652]

Great instruction. I noticed how much lower the trail shoulder is thru impact with the tour players. We am's are way to level.

[@thomaslahr9022]

This is so spot on! No gimmicks to sell for something that happens naturally if the rest of the swing is correct!

Found your site through a video you did with Eric C. I've watched a huge number of videos with the aim of understanding the golf swing with all its variations. I would say this is one of the very few I've seen talking about the release, which is a topic I've been trying to understand better. In that respect this has been really useful for me. Have already subscribed to your channel after watching this one video.

[@dieterzuehlkegolf6586]

Your information is great and I love how you give real life examples with current players so players of all abilities can "see" what you are explaining. That definitely helps because what you are explaining can be difficult for the average player to understand if they cannot visualize and you are just lecturing. Well done.

[@77bovi]

ty for this lesson Milo. @3:33, this position is what I'm lacking. Don't understand how one arrives here from a p6 where we are supposed to have the clubhead slightly behind our hands. The move with your right arm @3:37, does it straighten without any pronation? (can we separate talking about forearm supination/pronation from the illusion seen from FO view when the body rotates. i.e. forearm supination independentv of body turn). lastly, many teacher's talk about power from uncocking or ulnar deviation and the "down" that is needed to take a divot - compress the ball. how do we get or incorporate that? any truth that in the golf swing the arms work more or less up & down instead of swinging side to side? Would very much appreciate your insight.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

You're very welcome!

[@andrewnielson4432]

i wanna ask a question on release, so on downswing i always did like on 6:15 where i hold maintaining the lag then release it. If i did that, will that do problem to having achieving a good shaft lean im having problem with?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

For you, your trail arm gets caught behind sometimes which makes it difficult to produce shaft lean with just rotation. Henry says your swing is looking better though! Keep up the hard work!

[@Ali_g72]

Great. Found you after looking for athletic motions for golf. I fit clubs and have been trying to impart the importance of other sports - javelin, BASEBALL! and cricket here in Australia. I use the Orange Whip to help me with these moves. It's great to find someone so knowledgeable saying the same things. I'm a new fan! Thanks :)

[@markshi7052]

Hello Milo, great explanation on release. Does your hands fully ulnar deviate at impact ? Thanks

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Maybe not right at impact but through impact yes

[@martyshaffer2516]

Thanks Milo , a common sense approach to the physics of the swing . I’ve been following you from the days with Mike and I wasn’t sure , but it seems to me I’m understanding more as I follow your drills 🎄

[@luicwadrian]

hi Milo, been finding your videos really insightful and eye-opening especially with the right wrist extension videos. The question I have is do you hold the right wrist angle until impact in the downswing then release or it just naturally releases on its own? Thanks!

[@jimgeorge72]

I like! A good pivot moves the right shoulder down and forward so we don't run out of right arm. Not running out of right arm allows for a stable release. A stable release promotes accuracy and distance. What is unique is that the left forearm should exhibit a fast and slow rate of supination. It should supinate relatively fast the last part of the downswing into impact, but then supinate relatively slowly post-impact for a foot or so. Once the right arm is fully extended, well past impact, the wrists can swivel and roll in any way, and the way this is done doesn't really matter since the ball is long gone. The only way to see this is via slow motion video, which you demonstrate so nicely with your obviously awesome swing. It is a fallacy to believe that an unstable, quick roll release is the secret to powering the swing. Many long ball players have a stable release, like you, DJ, Rahm, and Koepka. Another stellar video. Thanks Milo!

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Jim George thanks

[@ImperfectGolfer]

I think that it is preferable to have close-to-zero left forearm supination happening between P7 and P7.2 if one wants to be a drive-holder who keeps the clubface square to the clubhead arc during that early followthrough time period. The amount of counterclockwise clubface rotation required to keep the clubface square to the clubhead arc between P7 and P7.2 should be biomechanically controlled by carefully controlling the amount of external rotation of the left humerus that happens during that early followthrough time period when the left arm is abducting in a targetwards direction at an angular velocity that keeps the left arm moving forward at an angular velocity that perfectly matches the forward angular velocity of the clubshaft (thereby preventing the clubshaft from bypassing the left arm from an angular rotational perspective).

[@jimgeorge72]

So true. I often forget it is controlled left shoulder ER that should slowly rotate the club face post-impact, not left forearm supination. In any event, a stable release rules on the PGA tour, as Milo demonstrates!

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Dr. Mann knows the biomechanics I just make it look correct and the ball goes far and straight for me and my students!

[@tlavery59]

Great Video Milo, at the end you talk about the release when swinging in a circle. How tight of a grip and how relaxed are the arms? Thank you

[@grahamjones7371]

IMHO it depends on your natural tendencies/physicalitys eg I am strong but loose jointed, im more of a natural thrower than hitter so i improved my ball striking when i loaded my hands/forearms/ arms on the backswing rather than my having relaxed arms wrists but if I had done a lot of baseball batting and or was naturally less flexible muscles/joints then i would want to feel looser! My tennis ground strokes improved when i firmed up but i still stay loose for table tennis

[@bmatt9379]

I just found your channel. Outstanding info. You helped clear up my biggest problem. Running out of right hand too early. I’ll be going thru all your videos. You da MAN!

[@grahamjones7371]

Although i have slightly strengthened it I am stuck with a weak Hogan grip due to his being my 1st book on golf.I have had to do a lot of left arm only swings and imagining throwing a frisbee to get it to work! after I realised Hogan was left handed playing right.In fact the only players I can see with a weak lead hand are Speith who is a leftie playing right and Phil who is a rightie playing left. If you are starting gol,f start with a strong left hand like most tour pros and not the classic hackers grip of lead hand thumb straight down the middle and a ridiculously strong trail hand to compensate!

[@sportsman214]

Bent right elbow at impact really helps mentally with me. My right arm was straightening at impact rolling the face and could not hit a cut to save my life. Can't wait to try this soon

[@joecontreras3175]

Milo If sequence correctly - does the shaft lean happening automatically?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Yes

[@Weshopwizard]

So a stronger grip relies more on turning the body through then swing to square things up? Weaker grips need more arm rotation?

[@gkarakosta]

Thank you so much for making this clear, it has helped my game tremendously. One question though! Do I use my left arm to push on backswing and pull on downswing ? I noticed when I use my right arm I tend to have more of a pull hook. Thank you in advance.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Don’t push or pull with the arms, use your middle to sling the club and arms back.

I just love your swing milo , it looks effortless. I have been try to use a more body rotation but unfortunately I can’t generate much speed. I’m reasonable fit , 5 ft 10” 13st 5 but can only swing a 9 iron 73mph . I think I might be gripping to tight but not sure.

[@johnhathaway735]

Well I pretty much do this already but what about that move from the top (start of transition) should our hands drop or naturally just go through ? (I hope that question makes sense.

[@etneb20yorme47]

I played good golf by focusing more on where to put my golf ball instead of thinking of too much technical stuff taught by many golf swing instructors.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

We can certainly make the sport too complicated.

[@jack-hq7gr]

What keep the right arm from releasing early, more right wrist retention or keeping right elbow in close to body... or is the proper rotation going to let it stay more in path... Struggle with concept.. Thanks. Great videos

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Jack the key is low tension and continued acceleration holds the angles in the right wrist and arm. Just like skipping a rock your right wrist wouldn’t release until you throw it

[@Mr.mallaer]

[@MiloLinesGolf]

@@lgs42 you can’t straighten your arm or bend your arm?

[@lgs42]

@@MiloLinesGolf I can’t extend my right (trail) elbow all the way out after impact. I can flex it all the way. I’ve always wondered if this affects the swing path some. I have a tendency to pull the ball. I always hit the baseball out to left or left center field. My farthest hit was around 370-380 in high school. I cannot seem to translate the power into the golf swing. My furthest drive has been around 310. But as you know, everyone (mostly) wants to hit farther and straighter. At 53 years of age I know I still do.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

@@lgs42 if you can’t straighten your trail elbow you’ll need additional body rotation to keep the club from flipping. My nephew broke his arm the same way as a child which caused the same issue but he still manages to play really well! instagram.com/p/BkdlU6OFk6UE0ccMELRXw_nYOCZDgSxszTSA4Y0/?

[@jukkakymalainen]

Exellent video about different release styles. I have tried both. I'm back hander (left handed playing right) That body release is also good. However when i get tired i start to lose my posture and then it is difficult rotate. How fast body you need to get distance? I mean i can throw frisbee about 100 yard and my driver goes about 250 yard. Maybe hard to compare but body motion looks very similar.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Jukka Kymäläinen fast enough to keep up with the club so it doesn’t flip or roll

[@jukkakymalainen]

Thanks! So then only way to get more distance is to get more body speed or the club will flip....

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Jukka Kymäläinen You could probably hit a flip farther but you might not find it. Now as you know as a player ages the swing becomes more hands and arms because their body can no longer rotate. Because of their diminished swing speed the need for a stable face also goes down

[@jukkakymalainen]

Yes that makes sense. If you have good body rotation use that. If you have strong hands use them 👍

[@michaelbatton2425]

"the angles get released." I've golfed for 48 years and never figured out what release actually meant. LOL Thanks :)

[@azcharlie2009]

Me too. But I believe the arm and the club should be in an almost straight position through the ball. No angle between the club and arm.

[@Whatever-qr1li]

Just to clarify, Phil is an example of the release in an arms driven swing, the preferred method shown is for a body driven swing? Or is this the preferred release for both swing types?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Jackson Johnson Phil’s release is required when the club face is open at p6.5 which generally happens in arms driven golf swings.

[@cnklonaris]

Is there a difference between holding the lag and Like Hogan firing the right arm?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Not sure I understand the question.

[@cnklonaris]

@@MiloLinesGolf As the hands are moving around and the club is moving out is that the time you fire the right arm? Also, do you release the right hand at the same time?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

@@cnklonaris for me it’s all a reaction to my pivot, I don’t fire anything but if I was going to I would fire my right arm through the strike hopefully arriving at impact with some bend still. The angle in the trail wrist comes out automatically no need to try and make it go

Hey Milo, love the videos. Im 21, for the past year I have been trying different techniques to maintain lag tension into impact but I just cant do it. Is maintaining lag tension something you had to practice for or did it come naturally to you? Whats the secret? :)

[@MiloLinesGolf]

No secrets players that move pressure correctly and sync up the arms and body correctly naturally have lag tension. Check out my Instagram I recently had a lesson with a play that moved pressure incorrectly and with a little adjustment the lag tension started to show up.

[@brycekanon547]

@@MiloLinesGolf Thanks for the reply. I can see my hands are behind my chest at impact. (possibly because my left arm is always connected to my chest) A drill im going to try out tomorrow is hold an alignment rod along the club shaft and swing through with the rod not touching me.

This is great! I'll just have to tee up every ball for every shot!!! Genius!! :/

[@petermullin4827]

Do you believe that this modern “rotational” swing is a contributor to the spate of back injuries on tour (Day, Mcilroy, etc) versus someone like Mickelson who hasn’t had issues?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Peter Mullin good Question! First off I give my opinion on this pretty clearly in my video about the classic swing. My opinion is that restricting the hips in the Backswing and firing the hips while holding back the torso is the cause of the back injuries. Rotation when done without restrictions is safer. I wouldn’t call Jason Day a modern rotational swinger he is more of an 80s reverse C arms driven type swing. There is no way to completely remove the risks of back injury when swinging at tour level speeds. Risk can be reduced with proper motion. I am only 5’9 and I swing harder than Phil and have never had even a twinge of back pain so I know with good athletic motion injuries can be reduced. You don’t hear of baseball players with back injuries from swinging and they use pure rotation which is what the old classic swingers did as well.

[@petermullin4827]

Milo, thank you so very much for the reply. I am a former hockey player (typical Canadian) with a history of lumbar disc herniation problems (contact related). I am in the process of trying to implement your methodologies as it reminds me of a slap shot in hockey and I find it intuitive. I am always paranoid of the back issues though. I tend to lift my lead heel in the backswing which helps my turn and seems to relieve pressure. I truly appreciate the comment and the time you took to respond. Keep up the great work.
