The MAGIC Downswing Move Everyone Needs ⬇️🏌️‍♂️

[@jackgarland4080]

OMG!! Watched these videos all morning. Did practice swings in front of the mirror, and then went to the range. Forced myself to make good backswing and begin falling forward when the club was parallel to ground about halfway through the backswing. Amazing ball striking!! Love the sound of the club striking the ball before the ground. Wow. Thanks. It’s counterintuitive but wow!

[@wendellkristofak642]

Harvey always talked about the left heel coming up with this drill. For us old guys lifting the heel minimizes strain on the back and promotes more turn. Great video.

[@aaronconsaul6645]

This video caught my attention about 3 months ago: "THE MAGIC MOVE" started me watching you guys and alot alot alot of garbage statements other coaches say was proven to be wrong or at least not relevant to success in the golf swing. Making simple changes, along with understanding the reason for the magic move has simplified my swing and i have made major improvements (i have watched just about all of you vids). My carry avg has increased by about 10+ % in all clubs, my smash factor has increased by and average of .06, I am making better contact and compressing the ball more consistently and more helpful than all that!!! i'm more accurate and predictable with my irons and woods (metal). Your perspective on golf and blending athleticism with the scientific performance of proven results (pros swings) is invaluable !!!

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Those are awesome improvements there! Great job👊

[@industrialpalletworx3548]

Outstanding!!! Thanks for reminding me of this. This was a drill that I was taught moons ago and completely forgot about. It made such a huge difference in my swing years ago. Now I have something to practice over the winter. Its great to do in front of a mirror with no club just to get the feeling down. I love mirror work. My wife and kids will get mad at me when I'm doing it out shopping with them. I don't care. Its my passion.

You make pallets? I love wood pallettes. I've begun a whole new sideline working with pine pallets. I wanna build the equivalent of the Crystal Palace using these amazing pieces of handy work, utilizing all of the pallets and that which rests on them warranting a fork lift and an anti gravity crane to place it. When it's finished, I wanna stand on the apex of the Pallet Palace and tee up a golf ball and let her rip. Driving it over the trees and onto the dance floor where John Travolta is doing a remake of Saturday Night Fever, disco ball shattered into smitherines when my Top Flight Orange Molitar is the result of having made the magic move.

In a matter of a few months, I went from hitting my 7iron 150 yards to 180 yards after doing this drill routinely. It Truly is magic.

@MeandMyStaffy not crap at all, it's the truth

[@A.Man..]

Yup! Hidden effortless power, even my slow practice swings send it. Such an awkward feeling to adapt to, but amazing. I'm definitely not hitting my 7 180. But my terrible shots aren't terrible no more

[@johnmule9419]

Great explanation and description of the "pump drill". Back in the 70s, I used to watch a young Tom Watson a lot. Before he hit every practice\ warm-up shot he did the pump drill. On the 3rd or 4th pump he hit it pure every time. I now know why he was a believer in it. Thanks and keep sharing the great information.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Great info there, John. I wasn't aware that TW did that drill, but makes perfect sense.

This move has done WONDERS for my swing. My consistency has gone up so much. For the first time in over a year I broke 80. Thank you guys!

[@hannesreinhardt1399]

Little red book just great. A very wise man, who very successfully worked with many top pros, shares his wisdoem and thoughts of a good swing based on feelings. And that's the challenge still to date, despite all the numbers (trackman) and angles (video): give the students a feel for doing the right things. And that's a very individual task.

I remember a Master's win late in Crenshaw's career that came out of nowhere. Harvey, Ben's teacher since childhood, had passed shortly before. Ben was very emotional and it was pretty clear Harvey was on the bag. ☺️

I remember that Crenshaw win. His putting was silky smooth guided by the gossamer wings of Harveys spirit that special week in Augusta. His second Masters Win, ten years after his first. That's no easy feat. But he did it. Thanks to the Harvey Pennick Magic stick.

This is a great demonstration. After working on getting more hip rotation in my swing I was struggling with only being able to swing out to in and only hitting fades and slices. I couldn't draw the ball to save my life. Earlier timing of lowering the arms very early in the downswing completely fixed this for me. I think that because I was rotating without moving my arms down it was moving my arms in front of my body too much from where I couldn't possibly hit an in to out path.

Admittedly I have only seen a few of your videos so maybe I simply need to watch more (just discovered your channel). I’d like to see Mike do some of the drills you demonstrate since my athletic prowess is more similar to his.

[@johndunsmore430]

Tried a different version of the pump drill before so i tried this.i took only a 7 iron to the range for a week.started with chips 50/75 yards, by end of week i developed a controlled swing .i knew 90 per cent wich way ball would move.before i was driving right elbow and couldnt close face consistently enough.long way to go but my confidence in this drill has got me big improvements .even the range pto has given me a nod and said good good job. Thanks guys

[@roryg54]

Very helpful tip (thank you Harvey 😀), especially for us older guys. Combined with your video where you explain that the time difference between any of the moves is approaching zero, this video is saving my back and producing solid contact. Slow swingers trying to get faster, older golfers, seriously take note. If you move everything close to simultaneously, you vastly reduce the torque that can hurt you. You can literally separate ribs by swinging too hard.

[@76MUTiger]

This video pairs well with the Pros vs. Ams Right Arm Movement video. At first I thought these two vids were saying different things, but at 6:00 you cleared it up for me and helped me see how the two vids are two sides of the same coin.

Lowering right arm respect to the left arm also shallow the club as well. I tried it today and it really put the club in the slot like a charm.

[@deanda5150]

I played with a 2-handicap player this past Saturday. WOW?! I carry a GHIN 13.8 handicap and I have to say its night and day his swing and mine. The main difference? IMO - His speed and position at impact. The key link? His rotation and speed through impact. His incredible accuracy was impressive. His drives dead straight - 270 plus yards. His Irons pinpoint accuracy. Each swing (every club used) looked identical. The swing was compact and efficient. The key to his consistency from what I saw playing side by side - for 18 holes? His ability to lower his right arm / elbow just enough to whip the club on plane while clearing his hips with lightning speed. I was inspired and now seeing this vid - the light bulb has come on. I will now practice the "magic move" until I can repeat it without thinking. I need to do what that 2 handicapper did last weekend. Inspired!

Truly addicted to this channel! Such amazing info. One of the only channels I trust for info

[@robcorrell6760]

My friend explained it that your swing really starts not at the top but after you drop your club. When i dropped the club a little it made me shift to the left and the power is now out front of the ball. Before this I was starting my swing fast from the top. Not now and my game has changed. This is a great video of the secret of how to really improve.

Hey Guys, Rodney from North Carolina. I recently found your content and now think its the only resource I need to dig a little deeper in to the endless sea of advice to fix this or that. I must say I'm a little confused about the transition (or move down) . I watch the the pump drill and then watched this and they seem to contradict each other. In the analysis of 3D imaging it appears and you said the the right (or trail arm) was moving away at straightening at top of downswing. In the Penick drill you show the right elbow moving down (not away). Please help me understand this move better. thanks, Rod

@@gustavospagnolo174 what's the saying, golf is like a perfect mistress (no disrespect to all the great lady golfers out there), it frustrates you until walk away and then it gives you just enough to make you turn around and come back ;-) Golf is all about the odd day you go out the range and e'ry ball is kissing the middle of your irons efortlessly. The more you train the more of those seem to happen. Rest needs simply to be learned from and forgotten quickly.

[@pm1a]

Lovely drill. My only issue is the death move (esp. with driver) of letting your head drift towards the target in transition. Very easy to do if you're not careful. I'd personally add the thought of keeping your head back as your left knee moves counterclockwise and hands drop.

[@braydenolenak-hobbs19]

same way it does to your irons except you dont want to move through the ball with a driver you want to stay over the ball

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

same feel with dirver but your head and upper body will be tilted back a bit more

[@emncaity]

Lots of good here as always, but one thing I'd add: Harvey was adamant that the move of the right elbow (really an undisturbed movement of both arms and club, when you see it) was definitely to be made with driving or "rotating" the upper body at all. It's probably true that there's always going to be some small amount of rotation early in the downswing, but he was getting at the need to avoid dominating the downswing with the shoulders, especially early on. It's a direct link to John Jacobs' insistence that the most significant in-swing factor that a good player has to work out is the relationship between the arms-and-club swinging and the turning of the shoulders and torso. Obviously both of those categories of elements have to work, but each player has to work out the feel for what it's like for the arms to swing from one side of the body to the other while the hinges themselves are moving. But anyway...it was vital to the "magic move" concept that the elbow was to be "returned to the side" while nothing else in particular other than the targetward bump of weight was happening. My daughter really copped onto this feel at one point in her early development as a player when, in answer to a question about what the hands should be doing at the start of the downswing, I said "nothing at all." It's like the light bulb went on, and at 14 she was absolutely popping it out there. In fact, we used a version of the MM earlier, when she was a real star in softball. She had her best hitting days when she really hooked into the feel of starting toward the pitched ball with the trail elbow down and leading. It put her on that Ted Williams slightly-ascending plane, and skinny girl hit it a helluva long way. ;-)

[@otisregatoni617]

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

[@MrLeftyno1]

Great video and information for me do do this my arms have to stay super relaxed so they can drop, as when their tense its just not going to happen, Sergio Garcia does this so well.

[@timothypollock8358]

This move really is magic and you guys have great stuff. I just want to mention that when the practice move is being demonstrated that his head is moving forwards (targetward) but not in the particular rep where he actually strikes the ball which is the way that it should be done. It would be very important to note for less accomplished golfers that the head never moves forward in great ball strikers before the ball is actually struck unless it has moved backwards in the backswing. If the head moves forwards during the early downswing when it never went backwards in the backswing then it would have to snap backwards before impact which would be very difficult and would slow down the swing. I know that you guys know this and that the head movement was unintentional for emphasis, but I thought that it might confuse certain golfers. Since there is always rotation during this "magic move", more of the weight ends up forward of center because the lead side of the body moves back towards it's original address position. So the trick is to take advantage of this and transfer the weight without moving the head forwards which creates a very powerful center for rotation for the rest of the swing.

[@julescoleman5438]

I couldn't agree more. I think the greatest disservice to the golf swing development that Ben Hogan ever did was to refer to the so-called 'free ride'. That is, the lowering the arms/hands, trail elbow (whatever way one chooses to describe it) as a 'result' of the shift to the left and initial rotation in transition. There's no such thing. you can move to the left and rotate with your arms going virtually nowhere. What happened in Hogan's case (my supposition) is that he practiced this coordinated move so often that it became second nature and so he no longer had to intentionally move his arm/handle, elbow down); it just happened. But it was trained to do so; it did not occur as an unavoidable response of pressure shift and rotation. How many golfers do you see who have expected this to happen naturally with their hands 6 inches or so outside their trail leg at delivery position? Almost all of my students who stall so that their arms catch up with their body, do so precisely because they do not intentionally work to link the left side pressure shift and modest rotation in transition with the reconnection of the trail arm to the body. The teacher I worked with on my own game who emphasized this move more than any other -- though without reference to Pennick, and as part of an overall distinctive approach to the full swing was Mac O'Grady. People pick out a lot of things as distinctive of O'Grady's teaching in the MORAD system, but there is nothing more basic then the transition which has two parts: moving the two centers (sternum and mid pelvis) forward a couple of inches while reconnecting the pressure points between trail arm and right side; and the bulk of the body rotation comes after that.

[@Jackisback31645426]

You said: "How many golfers do you see who have expected this to happen naturally with their hands 6 inches or so outside their trail leg at delivery position?" You are talking about me, here, as I have struggled with the full swing for the past 40 years. It shows up quite obviously on slow motion video. The fact is that you can "lag" things way too much, even if your overall swing motion is in the proper sequence. I have finally just started to fix it by watching this KZbin Channel along with Russell Heritage's channel.

Good question. We’ve got nearly 40 years of combined experience with 3D and have been doing it long before we started making videos. So since doing videos not much has changed because the data hasn’t changed. But looking way back on the things we were taught and assumed were correct… a number of those things have changed since being able to compare them to measured data.

[@76MUTiger]

Great stuff, guys! Thanks! QUESTION: At 8:20 Shaun shows what happens after the Pennick drill... how the hips turn and the club is delivered to impact. How do the hips turn? Do they pivot around the center of the pelvis? Around the left hip socket (so that the left hip stays stationary and the right hip comes swinging around)? Or, less likely, around the right hip socket and the left hip goes swinging back away from the target?

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

76MUTiger great question! We have a video in the works right that will answer your question in detail, but for the timing being, the short answer is center of pelvis👍

I struggled with this move until I realised that it was much easier when i produced enough downward presssure on the club handle in the lower half of the swing to counterbalance the weight of the club head otherwise it felt like it was pulling my right elbow from my rib cage.

[@whetedge]

Teachers who attempt to dissuade keeping upper arms pinned to the rib cage invariably misrepresent the move, and this video is no different. I attribute it to a lack of understanding, because the benefits, when done correctly, are astounding. Other than very accurate and powerful results, and other than the elimination of concern over timing and sequencing, it's a great tool for learning the exact angle of torso rotation. It teaches a compact rotation, on the order of Freddie Couples. I'd note that Ben Hogan offered an "elbows to the rib cage" drill once on the Ed Sullivan show. You guys offer some excellent training videos normally, but you're missing the boat on this one.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Thanks for your comments, but there is zero evidence we've found in the over 7 million data points that suggest show a pinning of the arms to the rib cage. Zero. It's not about a misrepresentation or a misunderstanding either. What a player feels they do vs. what they are actually doing can be different things, as you know. We've captured numerous players who were actually successful in keeping the arms pinned, and the results were neither accurate or powerful. These are not our opinions but rather objective data collected from many of the best golfers in the world. If the idea helps you play better, great! But you haven't seen the ruined swings we've seen when it's actually been done. And if you haven't captured the data on the subject, you might want to do so before accusing someone of missing the boat.

[@justjames1111]

Another great video guys. Interesting Mike when you say 'there's nothing new in golf', I'd agree with that, it just seems to be the same old things just wrapped up differently. With regards the idea of practicing the 'pump drill', can I ask, as this is an example of an 'internally focused' drill i.e paying attention to a body part. How do you think this works compared to an 'externally focused' drill i.e just feeling where the club is in space and letting your body react naturally to this as suggested by the Canadian coach Ron Sisson?

[@thomasfraser9072]

Hi Just James: activating your magic trail elbow at the top transition of your downswing swing in the same manner as a quarterback throws a football indeed does allow all your body parts to come together magically in all your golf swings. This one swing thought has changed my game forever. Give it a try. Hope it changes yours as well

[@griff25756]

Thanks for the content, tips have been fantastic. Would love if you could do something around tempo and how to maintain swing rythm and getting it back in round when start swinging too hard. Cheers.

I’m an ex college baseball player who picked up golf in my early 20’s. Not sure if swinging a bat for all those years ingrained this motion.

My question is if the pump drill helps eliminate the hands from moving toward the ball...what is the next drill to get the club to square-up and arc left along the proper swing path?

[@Godsson-jf9uf]

My question is how does the "recenter" move fit in here? I'm confused on how you can recent and shift without sliding too far ahead. If these moves are one and the same, how can you lower the elbow in the downswing if the recenter move happens in the backswing?

How about continued external rotation of the right shoulder as you're doing that move? Or, is adding external rotation of the right shoulder is throwing off my downswing?

I'm not that long off the tee but I am consistent. What I have the most problem with is taking a divot. Do you have a drill to address this. Would love to see it and maybe a link to download it for future use.

Great description of the magic move

Love your channel, you two guys are awesome !

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Thank you for watching!🙏

I thought that the recentering and shift occurred before the arms reached the top. so how can the lowering of the arm occur in concert with the shift? Confused. Maybe they occur in sequence?

[@delmaryennie2061]

thank you for this one. I WILL use this from NOW ON to practice and when ever I need to get back where I need to be.

Thanks.

Thank you 😀

Tom Tomasello talks about this in his video series as the first move from top as well.

[@kwrwerner8017]

Super strong advice. Have already made my iron strokes much better and longer. THANKS. BUT, would you also suggest the "swing / motion" for hybrid clubs, fairway clubs and the driver. Do not dare to try - but think it should work on hybrids and fairways as well. Do you have a "smart move" to start the downhill with the driver? Best regards from Klaus, Denmark

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Glad it's helping! yessir, it is the same move for all the clubs. Check out our recent video on the driver swing specifically👍

[@johnbouchard4991]

Great video! You guys are great!

[@markwalker5523]

Very interesting but I get confused ! In one of your other videos you talk about pros accelerating their hands early . How can you lower the club slowly and accelerate ?
