I’ve been watching your videos for about 6 months. I’ve knocked 10 strokes off my game. One thing I can’t get or change is my iron trajectory. I’m hitting it so high. I don’t think I’m flipping or losing lag. What should I change to take loft off of ball flight? I’m contacting ball first and have improved like I said. Just ball is too high.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@@chrisunruh6485 Could be the face is a bit open coming into the ball (which can cause a scoop to square the face)

[@chrisunruh6485]

@@AthleticMotionGolf thank you for the reply. I just went and had my clubs checked and I’m playing my first set of forged irons so I did not realize I needed to have them checked for lie and loft. From 7 iron through 3 iron they Were all off. My 6 iron was lofted the same as my 8. So needless to say I’m crushing my irons now.

This lesson "covered" :) the exact terms that are confusing and cause extensive frustration while learning the swing. BRAVO! I recently had to change my grips to jumbo size because of some arthritis is the hands and wrists. Hitting many golf balls over the years. A lesson on what effect the grip size will have on the swing and impact would be very helpful. Thanks for always presenting a quality product. Paul Reynolds

One of the most informative videos on compression while explaining the dynamic move and the optimal ball position. All of this while actually demonstrating the swing. Well done guys!

Your site is the best out there for explaining the fundamentals of the golf swing. I like Chris Ryan and Eric Cogorno as coaches but especially with the gears, you guys make things very clear....keep up the good work. Not sure if your site has already done it but a specific video on the driver, especially in terms of hitting up as opposed to compressing the ball would be great.

[@nadyerfdog22]

Every video I’ve watched so far from you two has opened my eyes to small movements or details in the swing. You just don’t see that from others on KZbin. Thanks!

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Thanks!

[@benross422]

Great video. I used to do this then got all messed up and starting playing the ball further back to get shaft lean and it just ruined my swing. This video and the stop pull video which did an incredible job w the handpath are changing my life

Best golf advice on the net. I’m 56, 9 handicap and going up. Was 5 10 years ago. Losing speed as I get older. However over lockdown Watching amg have increased club head speed from 82 with 7 iron to 88. Feel like on brink of shooting much lower scores. Thanks.

Great!! good luck!

[@StevenDietrich-k2w]

This was easy to understand. Being able to visualize what you are asking us to do helps so much more than just being told what to do.

[@Allabertina]

You guys highlighted the same in a previous video. I was always keeping my upper center static, behind the ball and struggled hitting my irons well. I implemented the forward body press, followed by the backswing movement and almost halfway back I start moving everything forward again (I can see on the ground I'm moving forward) and it has made a huge difference. I have gained a lot of distance. It does freak out my mind but after 5 games and no further driving range sessions I am getting used to feeling that I'm in front of the ball when hitting it. I do the same with the driver and when I'm settled in my round I hit it really well. On some holes of my home course I am reaching distances that I reached 16 years ago when I was 50. Thx for making me aware that the whole body moves forward guys! No one else highlights that aspect.

[@jeffmartinez262]

Once again...mind blown!! I experimented briefly a few years ago with "framing" the ball, but I could never get it to work consistently. Now I know why. I was missing the element of re-centering, and also missing the element of moving both centers ahead of the ball in the downswing before "framing" the ball. Where have you guys been all my life? Hahaha! Cannot thank you enough.

[@jrkastl]

Man, these videos are incredible. I really appreciate all that you guys put out. Great, great stuff.

[@sparkplug6022]

I needed this video. I am that guy that would lean my left shoulder first and hit the pull shot. Then I would hit the big draw or hook shot and if I was on that day. A 5 yrd draw every time. The problem is...I had a ankle brace on the right ankle. No weight. So I taught myself to time my swing. I was a 6 hcp. I had my ankle replaced. Now i can push off and put weight on it. Now I have no idea where the ball is going. I line up to play the draw. The ball will go straight. Miss the green right. Play it at the flag. pull or draw the ball. I got fitted for my irons because i felt that i needed to change my swing. He said that i am making great contact. But on the way down. I lift my hands and flipping them. Seeing this video makes me think that I have the ball back to the middle of my stance. I thought if I play the ball up. I was drawing the ball. Now I know that I am leaning to the left. Then I am flipping my hands and lifting them up to get the body to turn. Move the ball forward and turn and not lean or lean the left shoulder. Any thoughts from anyone will be good news to me. I cant break 80 now. I did have my left knee and left hip replaced. Right ankle replaced and now i need right knee replaced. These things could make a difference. I am only 53. Cancer 2 times. Any thoughts would be great.

Most ams struggle as they are told to fire the lower body while keeping the upper body passive. However, as shown in the models this does not occur, great video.

[@stevekeller3643]

I think that was the situation for me. Always drove legs forward ahead of upper body but turned late to not enough. Then would early extend cause my backswing was too steep (baseball). So either blocked or hit hellacious hooks. Well, not always. Then started concentrating on getting lower body turning thru but upper would as well so I was coming over the top. Ahhhhh !

[@bgeiger10]

Could you do a video on the differences between a baseball and golf swing? For example, how come in baseball we don’t want to keep our left arm straight on the backswing, but we do in golf? Certainly a straight-ish left arm on the back swing allows for more precision and consistency, but does this also sacrifice a little bit of swing speed? Similarly, in baseball we unhinge the wrists during contact to release extra energy and generate more speed, but in golf we hold the lag. Does this again improve precision at the slight cost of swing speed?

[@dard683]

best golf tutorials on youtube

[@PeterKennedyMD]

It's a hard thing to teach. For me it started to make sense when I felt more in control when/if I was aware of the vertical extension of my core as I neared the top of my backswing. As a tottering old man, I lost it. Now, I'm using it as a tool, along with keeping my upper body vertical while I drop the right arm. Thanks for the help. pk

[@brandtryan8478]

I watched the video about weight shift and had better ball contact, better control, and more distance. I consciously shifted my weight sooner.

[@jeffgriffin5550]

This concept changed my whole outlook on golf. I’m hitting more consistently than ever.

[@nbt3663]

It's releasing not only your hands, but to me, releasing your torso through the impact as well. I do this by planting my left heel and stand straight up to n fire the right hip through impact.

Could you guys do some different "Pros vs. Ams" course management videos? You have been so helpful on the golf swing that I think some course management stuff could very helpful and would be interested to see how you guys teach this side of the game. Because no matter how much you practice, you eventually have to go put that swing into action and play. How do you manage the course when going through swing changes and your swing still feels like an unfolded lawn chair?

[@sigmapete1]

I think a lot of people give up on the forward ball position too soon. Instead of fixing the swing to match the better/correct ball position, they use a bad ball position to compensate for bad swing mechanics. What are your thoughts on fairway wood and driver ball position?

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Pete L I think you’re right. The ball goes a bit more forward for those👍

[@jimdillon6479]

Great video guys! So the club I play on is in the foothills of N. CA and I'm faced with a lot of uphill and downhill lies on approach shots. How does proper framing change on a uphill or downhill lie? Would love to see how a pro hitting off an uneven lie like this would appear on the gears animation.

[@nathanshasho7563]

When I have a shot that requires a short backswing and an abbreviated follow-through because of tree limbs it consistently feels like what you are talking about in this excellent video. I hardly ever feel that in a full swing. I have "tried" to trick myself on full shots (imagine that I am behind tree limbs), but it never seems to work! Any ideas? Thanks, hope you reply.

[@t.pisani8239]

Correct me if this is wrong but it seems like this video is telling us to start with the ball a little forward in our stance. That makes perfect sense to me in this context but everything else I've ever seen says to keep the ball basically centered for some clubs and only move it a little forward in your stance for longer irons or driver. Some clubs are even suggested to keep the ball towards the back of your stance. How does that work with this shifting motion? Are we supposed to keep the ball in the front of our stance for ALL clubs in order to get good compression?

[@marianoochoa458]

Great video!

[@robertmazzarachio7939]

Great video and instructions, now I’ve seen I’ve been playing my iron shots at the center of my body , so if I understand what I just saw I move the ball forward in my stance and I’ll get compression

As a weekend hack, I keep seeing golfers taking advice to the extreme. Your videos show terms in tenths of inches instead of several inches. Many times, someone will use an expression like "shift your weight" and the person moves back 6 inches and forward a foot. Thanks for using all this technology to show most golf movements are small and simple. Keep these videos coming!

[@76MUTiger]

TOPIC IDEA: How to learn a new motor skill so that it happens subconsciously under pressure. You always present a drill or two to help us learn. And you often correct the underlying concept. But how does a golf learner go about mastering the skill to a deeper and deeper level so that it shows up in the tournament? Is there a calendar approach to the mixture of drilling, feedback, testing, on-course application, etc. that is a "better path" for making that skill an unconscious competence under pressure? Is there a recommendation of how to learn and test at one level (say, practice tee), versus casual games on the course, versus tournament conditions? How much can I accomplish with slow motion in my garage? How far will chunking the motion take me on the range, etc. I think this topic is little addressed in most circles. Give us the AMG way to mastery! :-)

Great video! Based on your comments on ball position - should we setup more behind the ball with the clubhead at address? Also, at the end you mention the left arm pull down move can lead to excess axis tilt at impact - how do we blend that pull down move and not fall back on the right foot?

[@johnnyblaze9206]

Is that the ball position for all clubs. I was always told long irons and woods are forward in your stance. Mid and short irons are moved back in your stance. If all irons are forward is it narrow stance to get 9 iron and wedges to the ball.

I watched the driving for more distance video,the other day and was bombing my driver, after only using my 3 wd for a month. So yesterday I looked like I'd never played b4 when trying to hit my irons. Now I suspect that I was staying too far behind the ball as the driver requires, thus I was topping the irons.
