STOP "ROCK AND BLOCK" and Make golf easier with LEE DEITRICK GSEM

[@DaveSender66]

Brandon with all due respect to all the instructors that you've visited with over the years, I love the way Lee simplifies the explanation of the motion. I love when Lee describes Mike malaska kicking the buttocks away from the golf ball. I believe Milo talked about that move as well. I know for myself that when I thrust my hips at the golf ball I never play good golf. I agree with Lee referencing Mike malaska move of the hips working backwards away from the golf ball allowing the arms to swing down through the ball. Anyway I enjoy listening to Lee describe the golf swing. Brandon I believe that you found the motion that works and it's time to start playing the best golf of your life and compete in Long Beach open this year!!!

[@Mr.Big33]

Very detailed. This video explains the pivotal concept very well. One of the best in recent months.

[@MrBadassbuddha]

Hands in, clubhead out.....pure Mike Malaska surely. Good video.

[@jnbowerman]

Long time listener. First time commenting. This is the best video you've ever done. I've worked for 12+ months to keep my butt back on the tush line and get my hands to go left. The key was his explanation of the hands and butt working together. In cricket terms, the hands work more like a Pull Shot than an Off-Drive. Great coaching.

[@BEBETTERGOLF]

Thanks so much Joel, I'll let Lee know

[@stuartshackell5254]

Thanks Joel. I like the analogy. Like a pull instead of a off drive👍.

[@ThomasPlaysGolf]

Really well done! He has a great way of explaining the feelings and the keys of his motion and relating it to the Dr Kwon actions that I really like.

[@steverussell8596]

Your motion looked great at the end, how did you do with longer irons and the the driver. Great video!

[@billygraham5589]

Hogan did this to transition between backswing and downswing. As to the use of the phrase “keep the back to the target” ...this gentleman makes it seem like a bad thing. I focus on “keeping the back to the target” and done properly it works great for me. He’s demonstrated how to screw up a good thing.

[@tedblaikie1580]

Brendon, I think this video is about the importance of swinging on what Dr Kwon calls the functional swing plane. From DTL this is the elbow plane, a line drawn through the club hosel through the golfers trail elbow. Dr Kwon advocates swinging the club so that the shaft remains on this plane from the position (P6) where the club is parallel to both the ground and target line before impact to a position where the club is again parallel to the ground and target line after impact (P8). How the golf swing appears in a video is quite sensitive to where the camera lens is positioned relative to the golfer. For example, in this video note how the edges of the large mat do not appear parallel even though they are. Also, in the video the camera lens is positioned high up looking down on the elbow plane making it impossible (or very difficult) to see if the golfer is swinging on-plane. Brendon, can I suggest a camera setup procedure that will enable you to see if you are swinging on-plane. Lay down a club on the target line, take your address position and lay the club you are using just in front of your toes parallel to the cub on the target line. Now set up the camera on this line just in front of toes. You will know the camera is set up on this line when the club on this line appears parallel to the vertical edges of the screen (assuming the iPhone is plumb & level). The camera lens should be at hand height. With this camera setup a laser emanating from the lens should skim across the the top of the elbow plane. You can check the camera setup by taking your P6 pre-impact position and getting someone to check the camera to see that only the club-head and none of shaft is visible. With this camera setup the club shaft should remain on the elbow plane line from P6 to P8 if you are swinging on-plane. Bit of a mouthful but hope this helps.

[@BEBETTERGOLF]

U r so right.

[@danielwenderlich3438]

This sounds to me like you want the trail hand passing the lead hand at impact. A fast trail hand and a slow lead hand. I have been following Marcus Edblad golf which seem very similar just a different explanation. Great information as always!

[@jonolson8594]

I struggle with the same issue. In short, swing the handle around your waist as if you feel like the club head will pass way inside missing the ball completely. In reality the centripetal force of the club brings it to the ball perfectly. I mean perfectly. Us handle pullers swing AT the ball from the handle as if it's an extension of our hand, causing our mind to make micro adjustments at the end leading to early extension or just some ulnar deviation.

[@BlackjackCZ]

Fantastic lesson. I am guilty of handle dragging and dropping the back shoulder on the downswing.

[@thomaspowell8620]

At 13:00 go to Gary Pinn video on how to hit pitch shot. It is the instruction is the same!

[@wookim221]

Great content, more videos of Lee please thanks!

[@mslu62]

This guy is damn knowledgeable. Great material.

[@emiliojesena1800]

I enjoy your talks with Lee. He has some great ideas on the golf swing. Living in the Detroit area, it is interesting that he went to UM, but only playing golf part time. If he was in the area, I would probably go see him for lessons.

[@ldeitrick]

Emilio, i wrestled at UM. i was on the teams in 1963-65 that won 3 consecutive Beg Ten tournaments.

[@LeeTrevinoFans]

This! I fought this myself....until I realized my arms werent connected to my core on the BS....And the shallowing is a consequence of proper elbows at address.

[@xJae14x]

Have you ever done or tried to do content with Sam Goulden? His swing is so simple, would be cool to see you do a collab.

[@19battlehill]

Looks like a stack and tilt.

[@tig954692]

Great Lesson!

[@nokia5359]

Ohhh great... Now i am lost again. I thought that i need to keep my back toward the target for as long as i possibly CAN. Any clarification is really appreciated. Thanks.

[@ducanhtran9325]

If you keep your back toward the target as long as you can, you are probably not turn the body enough during backswing => early extension or scoop the ball up. If that’s the case try to do shorter backswing and turn your body more during downswing

[@jameslovering9158]

Well explained !

[@tonytanti8138]

Left shoulder down and around is the best feel to stop getting dumped under

[@BEBETTERGOLF]

When?

[@tonytanti8138]

@@BEBETTERGOLF first move down.... really exaggerated.

[@nathanperry9593]

Looks like what Mike Malaska was trying to get you to do. Sometimes a person needs the same information in a different way.

[@forrestgardener8906]

Oh boy. Remember swinging continuously back and forward with Dr Kwon? And how it showed up little kinks in your motion because the kinks made your club start going everywhere? The rock and block is nothing more than a big kink in your motion. Do the continuous motion drill and the step drills and the kink Lee is trying to straighten out here will disappear.

[@tinytoons2517]

To think you guys were together over 4 years ago, yes I still watching you......

[@chrisclark6686]

In simple terms, it's coming back down in the downswing after you work up in the backswing

[@arisandrews5672]

One way to get to impact and 1000 different thoughts how to do that. We all have certain ways to attain it. This is good because something you hear may be the trigger. For me , this is the same move you did but, different thought as Bobby Lopez., except Lopez kept it to one simple thought.

[@markroper9269]

Chase the whoosh! Clear hips and open up.....whoosh. Keep the club high. It works for me.

[@karenrichard2544]

Ok now I am confused. It started out with putting your butt back then it kinda went to something else. Soooo pls clarify- in the downswing do you move you’re forward butt cheek back. If so how and when?

[@bl6369]

Isn't rock and block early extension? I always feel as long as I get to the top of my backswing and my hips are moving correctly, no sway, right pocket back, then my hips sequence and move correctly staying on tush line everyelse in the downswing is set and like Milo says 'tow' into impact.

[@swardmusic]

Backswing and downswing are the shittest terms in golf. Theyre giving golf coaches a living

[@thomasfraser9072]

How to complicate matters. Just fold your trail arm allowing your lead side to fold inward as well and then swing the golf club. And don’t think of anything else. The golf club is built to swing on three axis simultaneously vertical/ rotational / intermediate; so swing the club and let the club do what it is designed to do. Cheers

[@BEBETTERGOLF]

Lead side fold inwards?

[@thomasfraser9072]

@@BEBETTERGOLF yes when you fold your trail elbow always allow the lead side to respond automatically. For example whenever we try to stretch out our backswing we delay the natural folding of our trail elbow and of our lead knee and hip joints as well. Check it out for yourself. So since I now think. Aim Fold & Swing i am walking through all the fairways. Maybe I am a freak of nature; but i don’t think so and I swear at age 74 this is all I am doing just folding my trail arm and swinging my club and allowing all the joints and hinges in my body to respond 100 percent of the time. Cheers

@@BEBETTERGOLF False choice. The hips, the hands and the rest of the body work together. That is the single big lesson from Dr Kwon.

@@BEBETTERGOLF Hands, period. Great hands can score much better than someone with perfect hips :) I used to play and practice with Wes Short Jr. back in the early 90s. I always knew when my swing was off by the sound of ball leaving the club face. Wes, Daly and a few others were my standard.
