[@deangelokasen5942]

@Justin Eli Instablaster =)

[@justineli3229]

@Deangelo Kasen i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@justineli3229]

@Deangelo Kasen it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you really help me out!

[@desean3402]

Gotta be the most underrated golf channel on KZbin. Excellent content fellas

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Thanks for watching, Courney!

[@veneratedmortal4369]

Agreed. been showing everyone this channel.

[@joeh725]

AMG lessons are great science based instruction - explaining and showing what to do and not do. I've improved from mid to low handicapper in 2 years by identifying swing faults using AMG. I think the final piece for me has been learning to swing free and trusting feels. If muscle tension levels of pros vs ams could be measured then it would be eye opening.- it's really the glue for me that affects mechanics and tempo. Keep up the good work...

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Thank you for the kind words!!!! Congrats on your game

[@jmad4it258]

Love the simple teaching and advanced player display.would like to see some lob wedge set ups. Best channel for golf learning .

[@rhowe22]

This is just fantastic golf instruction. Great teaching techniques. Thank you guys for letting us view this.

[@cyberslim7955]

8:55 Cup left wrist to increase angle. That was new to me and explains why some of my drives are slice and others are straight. Thank you!!!

[@harryel-kara7712]

Great video 👍 Got the shanks at times especially with the short clubs mostly because of the face open and left arm wouldn't square at the ball. Scarry!!!!!

[@jeffreyanwar6272]

Best golf channel on youtube

[@rob_h_7]

I have this training aid and it's great. Just need to work on my longer clubs now and particularly my driver

[@Storminnorman555]

Arguably the best golf instruction videos on UTUBE

[@freegg123]

You guys nailed it again.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

🙏👊

[@leerogers9192]

I tried practicing with what I thought was a cupped wrist today. I always have second thoughts when I find something that seemed to square the face on a certain day. When I return to it it’s nowhere like I practiced. But I was using a wedge and taking it back with a slightly cupped wrist and down and thru with rotation was like finding nirvana, today. Who knows what it’ll be tomorrow.

[@thomasholdtchristensen9566]

I used to hinge too much.. sliced it as a result.. thx alot.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Glad it helped!

[@joeperez3520]

Great video. My current instructor was the first I've had that explained that controlling the club face starts from the top. I'd always just concentrated on getting the shaft into those "correct" positions on the way down, but trying to square the face with what I now know is too little time.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Nice!

[@tims2571]

Great video cleans up a lot of mess just at setup love the view of the flag also

[@michaelscott8220]

Another great video guys

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

🙏👊

[@chaddy-me-boy8299]

Pressure on the face coming down with the finger? That forearm rotation, are you guys able to show that on the gears? Turning it down? I still have issues with this concept? Am I not changing the loft? To low hits?

[@randymahony8157]

Have you done a video on the arms and elbows after impact? I have heard the straighter the arms and closer the elbows the lower the handicap.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

We have not, Randy. You're typically not going to see the arms very spread apart but I wouldn't say they need to be straight. That would exclude a lot of great players.

[@ronfinch4918]

So are you suggesting manipulating the sweet spot on the early downswing? I always thought a good grip would take care of that???

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Yes. The sweet spot has to be turned down early, something most golfers just don't do - regardless of grip.

[@jameslindholm4751]

Fantastic Video!! So many pearls of wisdom. So on the downswing are you supposed to bow your left wrist 14:43? Have you found that the pros do that on GEARS? Thanks guys! Another great video

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

It doesn't have to be bowed, but it's a great idea to not have it cupped. Flat works pretty good for most golfers. A lot depends on the ball flight you want.

[@rossmccabe1016]

Great video. Could you tell me the name of the training aid that Shaun had on his wrist?

[@djp3525]

Thanks again fellas. Great video. Question: Could you speak to David Duval’s feel of “releasing” the club at the top of the backswing and keeping the club head “above the plane”? Is this something that you see the pros do on gears? Is there something else he’s doing that he’s not explaining? Thanks.

[@mikewalker1885]

DJP check out Mike malaska, he explains it all.

[@djp3525]

Eddie sixsix thanks. I watched several of his videos. He’s got some great concepts. I came to the conclusion that the best of both worlds would be watch AMG to see how to move your body/back swing and Mike Malaska to see how to move your hands.

[@bertpainter8385]

Interesting reply to that scenario. I've been trying for a while now to get my lead arm to stay straight on the follow through after impact. I've always been an extend my arms at impact kind of guy, especially in baseball, but after impact my arms fold up. Tbh, trying to force extension after impact actual hurts my body all over even in slow motion. My swing isn't perfect, but on camera I like how I use my body at impact. I have back and knee issues so maybe that's why full extension afterward just don't feel good past a foot after impact. IDK. Been thinking of signing up for the 3 month deal to get some feed back. But I'm trying to understand more of the details you guys show, especially with using the gears images before I do so. That' gears thing is very detailed, but somewhat confusing at times. The more I watch your gears videos the more I'm getting the explanations. Although, my swing basics seem to be OK for my body structure, I see I'm not at all where I should be. I should mention keeping my lead arm straight during the back swing also hurts past parallel to the ground. Anywhere past parallel during the back swing is a definite strain and I don't feel relax when I try to keep that arm straight past that point, which is messing with my swing and also at contact. But I keep trying to work on it. I wonder though if that's smart. Maybe my body just can't move that way anymore at 65 from having back and knee issues. Maybe once I understand more I'll sign up.

[@PeterKennedyMD]

There is nothing to be gained by twisting the forearms or the shoulder joint o the way back. One can get the the club face to the top without any rotation of the upper arm (brachium). The rotation occurs only as you get into the hitting zone.

[@Robin-Cj]

Okey, so when you take the grip and put the club on the ground after and it looks CLOSED, you say "don't change your grip, change,just twist the forearma" but too me it looks like you twist your shoulders/spine. Would be a different look if it was just the forearms that are changing, so wich one is, the shoulders/spine or the forearms, or just a blend of all of them, i feel this is crucial because you will end up in a more CLOSED/OPEN stance depending on how you do it?

[@rogerking2801]

This lesson covers a lot of bases. I really like the holding of the sweet spot by another person. Never seen that before. THANK-YOU.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

recruit a buddy and give it a try. Very eye opening

[@golfinatty1]

No matter who you look at this is the most telling problem that will wreck a player’s chances of hitting consistency center face strikes which the tour players seem to own! I have improved my strikes by drilling every round or practice with an exaggerated inside out with a super strong grip and hit 10-20 balls swinging out and supinate your front arm and you will not believe how powerful that drill creates with your irons! This is the the most important fix in golf IMHO! I must give credit to GG SWINGS!

[@shyamvijay8985]

Best video . Ever

[@nicholasj.mastrocovo3711]

Great video; I wish I could shoot my age in my golf game, but It'll never happen (81). Your video will really help me to help me on a straight shot. Thank you

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Love it! We've had a 75 yo shoot 69 this year, so don't say never😉

[@barrynorris828]

Great video again fellas.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Thanks brother!

[@JL-qo7cs]

Did I miss the training aid part?

[@maralvor]

J L see 6.20 on with aid on Shawn’s club

[@parkersmithphoto]

What do you guys think of the old Faldo "pre-set" drill? At 7:50 it looks a lot like where you are with the hands and the swing guide. Set the wrists then rotate to the top.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Parker Smith the last part of that for sure.

[@seanm3226]

Finally an AMG lesson that I don’t need. I set up with (slightly) open face, and hit a draw.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Boom👊

[@justjames1111]

Great video guys, have you seen Eric Cogorno's explanation of the same thing?

[@TRaddcliff]

now you say get one of these training aids for free. this implies the little club attachment. I click the link and its a video you are offering, not the physical training aid. your video comment is a little misleading. your videos are awesome by the way. very helpful.

[@billykilcoyne8241]

Can you guys do a more extensive video on using the swing guide?

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

We've already shot it😉

[@sojobrianmoran4396]

Should this movement be the same with the irons and drivers as the driver is longer .

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

yep

[@rickiecartee6881]

My problem is the exact opposite. I'm way too steep and my clubface gets completely shut

[@lousifers]

10:25-10:35 = my key point to attack the root cause of mistake

[@robertmayer1497]

Like the video. But I am so tired of seeing our flag at half mast. Something has to change and change now ! Wish I had the answer.

[@seanm3226]

I noticed that. What’s the reason this time?

[@teddythodo3302]

Do you guys agree that a pull hook is easier to fix than a push slice, and that the pull hook is a better problem to have because it’s teaching and making you learn better patterns ?

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Not sure I understand the reasoning behind that one, Teddy. Both are pretty nasty misses, guess I'm not seeing any advantage of one over the other pattern-wise.

[@joebersik9846]

what is the name of that training aid??

[@MarkSmith-lz5rk]

I dont know why this fault is so prevalent for me, in about a 2 snd there's always always always periods of time where I start hitting the ball like crap, and everytime I look on video, yep, club sucked in inside, lift, across the line then from there it's a coin flip what happens...i more than understand the concept but it just keeps coming back unless I consciously think about it. I can't seem to burn it in...ive golfed long enough that I csn "get by" using my hands but its not consistent at all

[@grahamjones7371]

Agree with all your set up comments,most people my age were taught a ridiculously weak top hand thumb straight down at 12 oclock. But one thing you didnt mention (hardly anybody does) is that most people being right eye dominant look at the top of the ball with their right eye (cos theyre trying to hit it with the clubhead) causing the classic slicers set up. A lot of all time golfing greats appear to be left eye dominant and have a great set up eg Jack Nick

[@Geep1778]

graham jones left eye dominant 🖐 lol I’m blind in my right

[@stickgs]

You didn't tell me how to get the free training aid!

[@rgailun1113]

I don’t understand the finger on the sweet spot drill

[@alyssaandbrynnthemacgirls7218]

You mentioned in the video at 13:44 about getting one of the training aids for free....

[@LostArkitekt]

I thought the same thing...they never told you how to get one for free.

[@russtobacco9520]

Billy Mac you can get two for $10.66 from Amazon prime.

[@phillipbreland5450]

Until I saw Shaun’s name I thought he and Eric Cogorno were the same guy! Ever get that?

[@timmcgrath9708]

Hacker's solution to every bad swing: You lifted your head

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

😂

[@serkson]

P

[@diabloflaco7003]

I just use a coat hanger in place of the training aid in your video.

[@BruceBusby]

I'd love to have a sweet spot the size of Mike!

[@wrenchin7751]

I cant stop hooking.

[@grooveincorporated]

"Keep the swing guide OFF the forearm" - that's gold....

[@tipsy09]

I really don’t understand the finger on the sweet spot drill

[@djp3525]

tipsy09 from my understanding it’s to ensure the club face isn’t open from the top to the bottom of the downswing.

[@maralvor]

tipsy09 If the face is opened on the downswing it moves away from the finger
