[@richardcutt727]

Dear Andrew. Your instruction has improved my ball striking immeasurably. PS by recently changing my grip routine by placing the club across the MIDDLE joints of my fingers (lead hand only) I get a stronger grip immediately and automatically. I no longer let the club slip at impact and compress the ball. Added beacoup straight yards. 🔥.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

That’s awesome!! 👏

[@noggin6459]

Thanks for this and your other videos. Transformed my game. I hadn't realised what a handle dragger I was. So much simpler to use the hands and arms more. I've been playing 60 years and never struck the ball so well!

I now hit a draw can hit my drives 240 all the time and when all the stars aline I've hit 260-270 drives. I'm in shock at how far I can hit it now!!

Glad it was helpful! Get after it! 🏌️‍♂️⛳️

[@CallMeChato]

Very clear. But every instructor shows me a different grip. The latest one insisted on the Ben Hogan grip. It’s all so confusing.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

I believe that most golfers put the club to high in the palm of the lead hand. Having said that - No one should insist on a particular grip. We all have natural inclinations, and what works best for one golfer might not be ideal for another. If you’re new to the game, it’s essential to find a grip that feels comfortable and natural for you while allowing you to make solid contact with the ball. Experiment with different grips, and focus on what gives you the most control and consistency in your swing. Remember, the goal is to find a grip that helps you play your best, not to force yourself into a style that doesn’t suit your game. Good luck, Coach A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

[@stevemarcus3902]

I was a body swinger for years and a pretty good player, mid single digits. But I am now 70 years old and my body just can't do what it used to. I am trying to be more of an arm swinger ( I love your videos), but my old swing occasionally creeps back in and I will swing right over the top. My main issue with being an arm swinger is that I tend to lunge at the ball, get ahead of it and block shots to the right. I have found a feel that has worked for me to some extent. I swing with my arms but feel like I am leading with the right elbow. This has helped to stop the over the top move, my body is following my arms and it helps me stay behind the ball especially with the driver. But it is still a work in progress. When one swings a certain way for 40+ years, it is difficult to change, but I am working on it.

[@for2lo]

tell us more about your Work in progrès ! a plenty of us are in your situation ! Good Game ! cheers

[@stevemarcus3902]

@@for2lo . My issue is that when I try to lead with my arms and try to slot the club, I tend to lunge at the ball and my head goes forward and I come over the top, and steep. Part of this is tension. This becomes a huge problem with the driver with pure slices or push fades or I will flip my hands and hit a dead pull. I have been experimenting. I now set up with both my elbows tucked in against the sides of my body. Elbows down. On the backswing, I try to keep the handle in front of me as long as possible and on the downswing I "feel" like my right elbow leads my arms. It feels like my right elbow gets way in front of my hands, but in reality it does not. What this does is shallow the club a bit, stops the lunging and keeps me much more centered with irons and my head stays behind the ball on longer clubs. I have not mastered it yet as my old swing will occasionally rear its ugly head, but I am working on it. When I get that feel right, my shots are pretty solid.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Steve, if there’s one thing I’ve learned giving over 30,000 golf lessons. It’s that there is no right or right/wrong FEEL. Only the feel that works best for your student! Keep up the great work and thanks for watching! Best, Coach A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

[@markmcadams9270]

Thanks Andrew. Last year everyone was making fun of me as I was setting up a little closed so I could get my right hip back to get me in a position to start my downswing with the arms and not my shoulders. To help get the arms more active on the way down I also focus a little on separating my left arm from my chest when my back is to the target. These drills certainly help w/ the proper sequencing and SPEED.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

@@markmcadams9270good to hear from you!! You’re spot on - get after it! Best, A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

[@gregorymiller7861]

The 1980s with the lag photo screwed me up for years. I was a handle dragger forward n thought the release as u describe was flipping. Strong grip helped me not slice but forced my hip n body to be more active. All this is starting to make sense now. I think doing these drills everyday will help change my muscle memory to this style. Sometimes i wonder if the direction in the 80s was a marketing ploy to get amateurs to buy gadgets n clubs ....ty Andrew

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Thank you! Correct, but it’s important to note that for every degree you hit up on the ball (or less down!). The dynamic plane shifts a little further left! In other words you have to move your ‘swing direction’ further right as you move through to the longer clubs IF you want to maintain a draw path! Hope that helps. Best, A. 🙏🏻

I picked the ball without any divets. I've been trying to move my hips. I can barely hit the ball. I just happened to catch your channel. I've been using a half swing. I remember when I was good. I used to hit golf balls and in almost a putting stance and fired the ball with your L to L hitchhiker method. I'm going out right now and get my Swing back! Thanks so much for the video.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Hi Matt, that’s correct! I’m okay with being a little bit right with your shoulder alignment if it’s a push draw you’re looking for! But you don’t want to get too closed! The goal is to create depth at the top and the closed lower body set up helps that immensely! Best, A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

I would worry that adding the wrists also can change where the ball goes. I am 65, and normally am the baby in any group I play in on my Friday League. My game is not the same as most seniors. My driver goes 230 yds on soaking wet ground, when it can roll out later I will get the ball out there 245 to 250. I can hit my 8 iron 135 and when I really go after it, it will go up to 150 yds. I do not believe that I am hinging my wrists and I am sure it would really add distance. I am just afraid of the change in where the ball may be going. Currently when playing from 5400 yds I play to a 0 HCP. Making changes are scary.

Great video and easy to follow instructions. 64yrs old high handicapper & play once weekly. 2024 was supposed to be the year my game was supposed to go from good to great but unfortunately it has gone below average performance now. I bought latest technology new golf clubs, expensive 5 layer golf balls however my biggest single mistake has been watching far too many golf tutorial videos on KZbin to the extent you could call ‘addiction’. I try to hit like those pros but don’t have the body fitness (or skills) to execute those shots & end up with a very sore body including ribs climbing on each other etc. i am now struggling with fairway shots chunking fat & digging turf before the ball.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Relax your forearms. Keep your back to the target as you transition - and allow your arms to swing freely. You’re goingto feel like your arms are pulling g your body through the shot! There’s an easier way! Get after it! Best. Coach A. ⛳️🏌️‍♂️🙏🏻

[@21st_Century39]

When you "actuate" the wrists and "sling" the wrists, the ball can go anywhere, especially when you turn the hands over, which is a very difficult procedure to pull off. You do have to stabilise the face of the club, so as it is square at impact. Stabilising the face of the golf club is a much easier thing to do than trying to sling the golf club and turning the hands over. Try teaching someone who's just retired from working and is taking up golf. I wish you all the best with that one. You can easily square the face at strike simply by addressing the ball from a closed position. That's simply keeping your right shoulder well back at address and dropping the club down. I can assure you, you will never slice the ball again.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Actuating the wrists and slinging the club can of course be overdone! I’m prescribing a pill here, not the whole bottle. But twisting it to fit a particular narrative isn’t helpful either. I never advocated for turning the hands over or rolling the wrists, which is obviously disastrous. The release pattern should match the golfer’s grip and natural tendencies-it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach. My fast-speed elite players and slower, often older students have different needs, and it’s my job to meet them where they are to help them enjoy the game more. The ultimate goal is to lower scores and handicaps, as shown by the testimonials on my website. Whether it’s an 18 handicap dropping to 9 in 8 weeks or a 6 handicap improving to 1 in 6 months, that’s what I aim for. The first golfer benefited from what I demonstrate in this video, while the second, who had an extremely strong grip, was struggling with a hook until I taught him to release his speed into lead wrist extension and limit forearm rotation. Now, he’s the best junior on his high school team and hits 295 yard fades all day long! Different strokes for different folks! For most, a draw release pattern is a breath of fresh air-more distance with less effort and strain on the body. (And it seems like a few people who watched this video agree with me!) For some, a pull fade release pattern is the way to go. Stabilizing the face doesn’t mean ignoring the wrists. Effective coaching adapts to individual abilities, especially for those who struggle to transfer energy from the ground to the clubhead, like many who enjoyed this video. The retiree you mentioned would benefit from a more personalized approach, not rigid techniques. I would keep an open mind with no pre-conceived notions/methods and find what works best for him!!

Sir you are simply the best teacher I’ve come across. Nobody is close. And I’ve followed probably at least 50 over the years. I just discovered your methodology. Watched a half dozen videos. Already had a tee time booked weeks ago. So went and played with only one range session using some of your ideas. Wow! My swing felt so good. And hit my irons better than I have in years. I can’t thank you enough. Once I’ve worked many range sessions in; I know this is my holy grail. Everything you teach just clicks with me. One quick question. I saw the video you are saying to let the arms ‘fire down( coming down on a escalator)’ first. This move I’m having a very hard time getting the feel. I get you say it comes from the shoulders. Do you have a feel I can compare it to? That’s how I learn. Is the feel as though I had a tennis racket and was going to go to rip a forehand at a ball by my right foot? And again. 🙏 thank you. You saved my game with the concepts of more of a wrist and arm swing!

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Thanks for your comment Mark! The goal is to swing through the ball ‘to the finish!’ Keeping your back to the target and allowing your arms to re-position or de-elevate is critical in order to sequence your arm swing with your body motion. Try feeling like your arms are pulling your body through the ball! It’s a feel of course not a real but I’ve found it to be extremely helpful for those that drive their body out in front of their arms. Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️‍♂️🙏🏻

[@millaufan]

Great video Andrew! Ironically just pulled my back by getting out of my swing sequence, kind of throwing the kitchen sink as I came into the ball! I’m 75 and in the uk. Going to steadily try these 3 drills and see if I can stop twisting my body. Where is the weight in your feet as I tend to loose my balance? Is it on the inside of the feet and towards the heel or toe? KR John😊

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Pay attention to if you’re losing balance towards your toes or heels? Most golfers move UP into the ball towards their toes in my experience. If that’s the case - You would do well to lift your toes in your shoes and favor pressure under your ankles and closer to your heels!!! Good luck with your balance! Best, A. ⛳️🏌️‍♂️🙏🏻

Just turned 69 and I totally agree, most teachers teach a tour swing but it just impossible for me to do what they are asking us amateurs to do. I’m still flexible but also have had lower back surgery 24 years ago and it gets sore trying to do all the rotation that the tour swing requires. I’ve only been playing for around 13 years and thought that there is more to the arms and wrists in the golf swing, so with that being said I’m on board Andrew. Thanks for an awesome lesson.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Greg! I’ve had back surgery myself so I can relate. Fortunately there are multiple ways to swing a golf club proficiently! It’s simply not a one size fits all! I’m glad that my channel is resonating - Welcome aboard! Best, Coach A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

Coaches should teach exactly what Andrew and myself do to players of all ages.

I am looking at photos of a Driver swing sequence from Sir Henry Cotton's 1952 book 'My Swing'. He is swinging exactly as you recommend and teach. Great stuff.

Im a 90’s player with body vs arm swing. I tried your arm lead technique and I shot 85, 85, 83 3 days in a row!!!! 🎉 Wow!!! Tks for the tips. Irons are great but still struggle with the driver on occasion unfortunately.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

That is AWESOME!! 👏 👏👏

[@MrDent495]

Excellent! As a senior golfer my game has game has been ruined by coaches insisting I use the ‘modern rotary swing’, i.e. stabilise the face, hold off the release and just rotate.

[@matthobbs5329]

Great tips Andrew.Very much appreciated.Will try these.Are these ok to use too for chip shots.Not short ones but say 30yds and out.Guess would get a little more elevation too.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

For ‘standard’ shorter pitches (25-30yds) I would use a supported release! Point the club at your lead hip at address and keep it pointing at the lead hip as you pivot the club! You’re leveraging the club as you hinge and un-hinge but you don’t need to re-hinge unless you want a higher pitch! In this case the trail hand works UNDER the handle which keeps the face open!

I actually have the iron and the driver. Do you recommend the same drill with the driver version? Thanks again I’ll look for your response.

[@DuaneCoursey]

Not to bug you down with my comments, but I’m just putting two into together and realizing how much sense these drills really do make. I used to play racquetball when I was younger and I really could spank it because my wrist were very strong and I could hit a softball 320 feet.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Wrists and arms produce the majority of flash speed in the golf swing. Makes total sense to me! ⛳️🏌️‍♂️🙏🏻

[@joost7831]

Coach, when I keep my back to the target a little longer, I tend to hit the ground before the ball. Do i need to compensate something else? Thanks for a great channel, btw. Br, Joost

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

You’re likely pinning your lead arm across your chest! Start to extend both arms PAST the golf ball! You’re backing into the ball and allowing your arms to come off your body! So many golfers pull their arms towards them through the ball! Best, Coach A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

[@redghost3170]

Exactly true. I was damaging my body until I learned how to utilize my arms/wrists to get the ball at there.

I’m very impressed with your teaching technique and drills. I’m having left hip surgery and will be out of action for a while. However, I will be reviewing this video over and over again during my recovery because I am sure it is the best way to go when I come back. I have been one who has got into the culture of firing the hips faster but it has never gotten me more speed. I have been worried that I would not be able to fire my hips after surgery but I see from the video that it’s not going to be a problem. Actually, your videos are very similar to how I started in golf but kinda fell into the trap, for lack of a better words, of too much emphasis on the body. After I come back from the surgery, maybe,I will repost another comment on how your swing thoughts are working out.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Wishing you the best for a successful surgery. I look forward to hearing back from you after you have recovered! Best, Coach A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

[@adrianadams6237]

Good luck with the surgery. I’m almost 53 and had a full hip replacement last august. What revolution it has been it’s been a light switch moment. I’m back to enjoying golf again with absolutely no restrictions. I average between 110 and 112 clubhead speed now only a 2 or 3 mph drop off from 4 years ago. I actually treated myself to a new driver last week. Good luck with your rehab and new swing again 😊

[@JRC2053]

@@adrianadams6237 Geez, 110. I will take it. A week and a couple of days after, I am feeling pretty good. My PT is impressed. I’m wondering if you’re aware of any “saving” your hip through the downswing and follow through or are you at a point where you don’t think about anymore? Right now I am just happy to not feel bone on bone when bending over to brush my teeth. Originally, I thought it was snapping hip syndrome until the orthopedic PA showed me the X-ray. Thanks for sharing. Other golfers considering hip replacement will appreciate it.

[@adrianadams6237]

@@JRC2053 Good to hear all is going well. The one time I thought about it was first shot at the range. I hit a knock down wedge and hit the 100 yd board 🤣 Absolutely felt nothing and starting ripping irons. My wedge is back at about 140yds. I’m a 6ft and 115 kgs and quite solid of a build so was anxious about loading on my left side but straight away after first shot I knew had the freedom to swing full again. I waited for 14 weeks after surgery to start back again I didn’t feel the need to rush back and focused on being strong again. Hardest thing for me is finding my driver swing again because I had to change and manipulate it to make it work for so long before the hip surgery.

[@dmilano56]

So since finding your channel, I have hit some of the best precision shots following your right-hand wrist angle and the hitchhiker drill. In 3 out of the first 4 holes, I hit the flag on one and the other 2 were 3 inch tap in's. Two holes later I slammed dunked a 118-yard fairway shot. With the adrenaline flowing, the rest of the round, I sucked. I couldn't get off the T, box with driver or 3 wood, and the rest of my iron shots kept coming up short. Sometimes I know I rushed my swing or miss-clubbed, fat shots, etc All the things you explained in this video, I did wrong. I just couldn't find it after that. Do you have a video of T shots getting back on the horse after falling off?

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

You got out of your process is all!! Nothing wrong with getting excited about playing well, of hitting great shots but you have to press the delete button and refocus on each ‘individual’ shot! Sounds like you got a little ahead of yourself. Best, Coach A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

[@StephenCraven-x6i]

I have been seeing more and more video's talking about NOT trying to copy tour swings due to the physical limitations of your everyday recreational golfer. In my personal experience, the notion or concept of "swing the arms and let the body respond" is significantly more doable for the majority of us and it us very effective as well as body-friendly. Much less strain on the lower back especially. Jim Flick taught this method and I feel he is one if the greatest teachers if all time who is mostly forgotten now. Truly enjoyed your video Andrew, as well as the message conveyed.

Brilliant Andrew as always 👍👍 just one question on the hinge, unhinge and re hinge method if I can? Exactly when/where do I unhinge as I’d imagine if I do it too early it’s basically a casting and I’ll hit it fat and scoop? Too late and I’ll thin it? Would really appreciate some advice please 🙏🏻 thanks

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

I’m not forcing the re-hinge! I’m simply allowing it to take place if that makes sense. Your arms have to move forward before you throw the club out! Practice brushing the grass after the ball first! Those arms have to extend past the ball - that’s critical! Best, Coach A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

I swing club in to out and get kind of stuck so I do early extension to hit the ball from having a closed stance like u said. Do u think being closed to target at address will help to go less in to out?

Getting more closed will promote an inside out swing path (out to the right) for a right handed golfer. It will not help promote a less inside out path. Aligning more left and exiting more left will!! A. ⛳️🏌️‍♂️🙏🏻

[@thatwilldonicely1314]

Terrific drill lesson and wisdom, personally I think the body thing is / has been a disaster for many average mid to hi handicap golfers, who for the last thirty odd years have had the body/stable club face concept thrown at them, the vast majority of the golfing legends have had free arm swinging motion where the body has responded naturally to the arms/hands.

[@guitar1950]

I'm 74 years old and I've lost distance mainly with my longer clubs. I still can hit my wedges pretty good as I practice them a lot. 54 degree: 70 - 80 yards. 50 degree: 85 - yards. Best driver is just over 200 yards. Sometime the driver is only 185 even though I think I hit it well. Most shots are draws. Bad shots are pulls/pull hooks and pushes. Contact with irons is not always good. Tend to try to lift the ball and hit fat or occasionally thin. I'm pretty good hitting my fairway woods off the deck. Part of my problem is pinched nerves are affecting my lead arm (shoulder and hand).

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Your ability to hit those numbers with your current limitations is better than impressive! Move the ball back a little with your irons! And, hold your finish in balance. I can’t tell you how many golfers ‘tip’ or fall back as they start down. Hope that helps and thanks for the comment! Coach A. ⛳️🙏🏻🏌️‍♂️

[@pgcops]

I'm lookinh for an explanation of what deelevate means Any explanation would be helpful.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

The arms control the verticals in the golf swing! In the backswing as the body rotates the arms work up! In the downswing it’s critical that the arms work back down (de-elevate) as the body rotates through! Most golfers spin their body in transition and throw the club over the top. By keeping your back to the target longer as you change direction you give your arms time to swing down on a better path with more speed! I hope that helps. Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️‍♂️🙏🏻

[@deantonna]

agree with this-most weekend golfers are too stiff and slow to use just the body for speed . The arms and hands generate far more speed and power .
