I don't think I have ever head a man so consistently in love with his own internal swing thought word salad and seemingly unable to explain them in understandable terms.

[@user-lj2jy1rm1x]

I knew this series with Martin was worth sticking with but it took an excellent piece of editing by Brendon to finally get something that I can understand and more importantly use. The Long drive specialist have been trying to describe this to us for years. It’s left us with forward hand presses, trail knee flicks towards the target, body presses etc, etc etc, all of which to me are just psychological triggers to get the swing started. This describes how to add energy to the system before the club even moves which sets off a chain reaction for all the other good stuff that I think separates elite from the rest. The sword analogy is awesome. I have a door my garage which is flush with the wall and if you try to open it by just pulling on it it won’t open. I have to push the door toward the wall first then it pops open. That’s how I think of this - add energy to create a reaction.

[@BEBETTERGOLF]

Thx!

[@ReSourceEnergetics]

Hi Brendan, This is one of those things that so many people talk about and it is often misunderstood. I see it as lengthening to gain structure. If you have a constant structure, the consistent bottom will be easier to find. I like lengthening of the lead arm rather than tension, because people already tend to have excessive tension. This is definitely a ball striker move! This is malaska’s first move with pushing the handle down which pops the club up when don with trail wrist extension. Seniors sometimes need less structure in that lead arm because they need the elbow it as a power source. Fun stuff. Hope all is well! Alan

[@OfCourseICan]

It's bizarre this video appeared in my feed at this time, because I only got the missing link in Martin's genial take on the golf swing yesterday! Up until then I couldn't get: how; one could push the club forward and swing back at the same time. But what is NOT mentioned here I believe; but is covered in another of Martin's videos is the importance of having subtle thumb pad pressure on the sides of the handle, this enables with correct body pressures to be able to hurl the club on its orbit in unison with the body. When you get this: OMG! This is profound stuff. I feel for all the doomsayers on here who are destined to a life of mediocre ball striking!

[@BEBETTERGOLF]

Yeah, the algorithm is sneaky

[@bcranes1]

A question about the motion. If the lower body is to work in opposition to the club being pushed into the stone, when, where and how does the lower body begin to work in opposition to the arms swinging in and creating an anatomical limitation on inside travel of the arms? My swing seems very rotational and I'm reviewing all Mr. Ayers material for swing improvement. This is my lone misunderstanding at the moment. Thank you!

[@robnieth4190]

It creates drag in the swing that helps you to hit the ball from the trail side better and pulls you out of the swing after the strike naturally.

[@johnronan5478]

Thank you for the content. One quick theoretical question..If we create/maintain this drag/vector/elongation through impact, why wouldn't we hit it fat everytime?

Can you accomplish nearly the same thing with slight pushing trail hand down the shaft and then pulling up the shaft with the same intensity with the lead hand?

[@percylang]

I love Brendon’s channel…it reminds me of ‘The Money Game’ (1968) where the author visits a raft of top investors (‘The Gnome of Zurich’ etc etc) in an attempt to unravel the mystery of stock exchange investment. The insights are fascinating but there is no conclusive answer.

[@jeffadams5413]

I’m confused. I have heard discussions on this pre swing pressure, pressing with your hands to pre stretch your body. Please tell me should I actually press the shaft down/forward pushing the club head into the ground flexing the shaft? Or is it just a small forward press of the hands. Matt Wolf has a very abrupt hands and body twist. Please explain this press ?

[@aau240]

All the tour pros? I just don't think you can generalise like this without data and proof. Pros are 0.1% of athletically gifted human beings so they can hit the golf consistently well. The rest of us will have varying degrees of success.

[@sirtogii5216]

The evidence has been collected by the guys who collect pressure plate data. All of them start their swing by putting pressure in their right foot, i.e. pushing away from the ground before the club moves. Some have forward press that is visible at the same time like Henrik or Matt Wolff but all of them do it.

[@s3gts]

Good Stuff Gents. For me: if I never give up "Where" intend to send the ball, I'm already in motion to Hurl the Club as it's pressured behind the Ball. I'm already oriented forward so I don't need to press forward. I press directly on the line I intend the club to fly. (with both ends of the club)

[@Chris_Traynor]

Aaaaw yes! My favourite film 😍 . An absolute masterpiece of cinema. Interesting discussion too!

[@gachulonsito]

While I believe the steering wheel is crazy. I tried the merlin forward press and played -3

[@adrianjones5521]

This stuff seems very dense at first until you really fully immerse yourself in it. The problem is that often people like Martin or people that have ever felt the quality and force of the strike that he creates will often struggle to explain it. Especially if the person is used to the old positional type instruction. I would gather that 90% of golfer have never really "levered" a golf ball, or a tennis ball, or baseball or softball because if they had they would understand there was nothing technical about it and that they simply put all of their force onto a spot. The fastest way to experience and appreciate this is to hit shots with your non dominant side and you will quickly see just how difficult it is to put energy onto one spot. Once you are good that this you have no choice but to be good at golf because the ball doesn't move and is sitting there waiting to be struck.

[@maeu59]

All this is Lee Comeaux territory, a lot of confusing talk.

[@acesandeightsinc8704]

It's called a forward press read Hogan

[@lookmil107]

Exactly, this is nothing but a simple “trigger” move used to begin the back swing. This clown Martin Ayres makes it all sound as though it’s “mystical.” What a steaming pile of bullshit. But, unfortunately there are many desperate naive foolish amateur golfers who will “pay” Ayer’s to spew this absolute nonsense.

[@CoryLancasterYT]

[@lookmil107]

What the fuck are you talking about?

[@thombendtsen399]

Brendan, you get so many different concepts on this channel. I think you should do a comparison video of what these different concepts have done for your game and what causes you to hit the ball the best, or score the best. Do you think you will ever settle on one swing, one concept. Or will you always be searching for something different. I know it’s the whole idea of your channel, but, just wondering your thoughts.

[@davidgriffiths2020]

Yeah I think so! Like the bow is in both hands and the string is attached to the ovement of your body and you try to keep the string stretched the whole swing. The key is to be able to do it a lot without moving very much, like XANDER is doing here.

You have the IQ of a turnip.

[@SwingLowLeft]

I would have picked Rory instead of Xander for the demonstration of that move with modern players. Nicklaus is the obvious example from history. Watch Rory kickstarts his swing by pushing away from the ball with his lead leg down the same line of intention he’s going to take the club milliseconds later as he also reaches a bit for the ball. I love that move and adopted it as my trigger instead of a kick in with the trail leg which made me snatchy with the club and led to inside takeaways. Watch Martin do it too though I suspect it’s unconscious. Just before he kicks his trail leg he makes the exact same move as Rory with his lead leg, and I doubt it’s something he thinks about or is maybe even aware of. And then push back down that same line of intent again in the downswing after transition instead of firing off of your trail side to hit the ball. You can feel yourself doing it a bit if you’re just one handing it and following the club. It is the accelerator that Malaska mentions in his instruction though I think Martin would think of it as countering down the straight line ahead of him to take the step ahead we never do in the real motion.
