[@johnatchley9754]

Happy New Year. Not playing or practicing now, have cancer and am on chemo. But have followed you for years. This one is number one for me. Hope next year can get back to the game I’ve loved for 62 years.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Good luck with your therapy! Have a family member going through the same treatment now too. You’ll be back swinging again and we’ll be here to help when you are 👊🙂

[@codex6594]

Good luck John, my thoughts and prayers are with you🙏👍

[@DavidBeaumont-i7s]

This is soooo true. I had always been a rusher, that leads to an arm intensive swing, often leaving body & its bigger muscles behind & unable to participate to maximise force. When I’m doing this well my swing appears slow & effortless. At top it creates a pause you wouldn’t notice in real time playback, that pause allows me a split second to really see the ball & get my lower body more involved in the follow through. When playing well the pause seems to last longer, world is in slo-mo. What a feeling ❤

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Such an excellently worded description 🙌

[@arcleid]

This video is GOLD! Thit drill really set me up for my tempo which I've been looking for in years. After learning that I complete 18 holes with no strain felt at all on my body. Everything just felt effortless! Thank you so much for this AMG Golf!

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@@arcleid awesome! Glad it helped 👊

[@richardelgart8420]

Love this drill when you billed it “The only drill that you need,” Great to have a refresher course of it with the slightly different emphasis. Do you have a go-to drill for prevention of fat shots? Thank you.

[@paulvargas5928]

Thank you guys a ton ! this literally solved my missing puzzle to my transition from the top

[@keithrogers5832]

Oh yeah, when I worked on this drill and made this a good habit, I improved my considerably. It felt funny, almost as if I stopped at the top, but as I made the transition to the downswing, I learned to look for that feeling of tension building in the chest and arms. If I don't feel that tension, I'm not relaxing the little muscles. Keep up with the great lessons. At least you are always giving me something to work on at the range

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

[@edwarddougherty221]

As the saying goes “Free, free at last”. I’ve been working on my driver and focused on the saying “slow and low” that at times makes the swing difficult to start and feel wooden. Using your advice I’ve added more tempo to the start and adding a slight pause at the top makes the process much more fluid. Thanks for the lesson and looking forward to future instruction.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@@edwarddougherty221 great job there 💪

[@michaelsingh843]

Thanks Guys and Happy New Year🎉 Fantastic drill! I was caight up with the individual movement, complete the back swing, full shoulder turn, re-centre and swing. Tried this drill completely change my concept!

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Awesome job 🙌💪

[@budi1100]

Thanks for the great tips on tempo! I’ve been working on my driver lately, and it’s interesting because when I follow your advice, it works really well for my 7 iron -I’m hitting consistent draws with it now. But when I switch to the driver, things get a bit messy. Any advice on adjustments I should make when transitioning from 7 iron to the driver?

[@Bear-v3v]

Would love a video on Aim.. I always seem to aim right. I use alignment sticks when practicing. Just some ideas for on the course. Amazing content as usual. Happy New Year from Australia 🇦🇺 🎉

[@bassmasta9117]

I forget where I read it, but someone said to watch a pro of your choosing or someone who's swing you like and to try and match their tempo. I did this and it completely opened my eyes that my takeaway and backswing was twice as long as it should be. The club was not loading or unloading properly at all. Highly recommend giving it a try

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

I think we have said that at least a dozen times 🤓😃. Great comment !! Also try to find a swing that matches your body type

[@deekay2091]

Woop woop! New year's treat 🎉❤

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Happy new year 🥳

[@golfdoc1950]

I’m working on learning to supinate my lead wrist on the downswing. Interested in hearing your advice. My swing mechanics aren’t too shabby but I know if I could deloft the club face I would compress the ball more effectively.

[@robertandjuliesawin8654]

The thought of keeping my back to the target for a tad longer seems to help with this delay, or slowing of the top of the backswing

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@@robertandjuliesawin8654 probably been a popular thought since golf was first played 👊🙂

[@richg7264]

Love the insight. I’m working on a better release. I tend to flip and fixed every other swing fault to fix it naturally.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Trying to fix a flip that needs to be there because of the movements leading up to the release is a recipe for frustration and wasting time. I just looked at the swings on your channel, how would you rate your weight shift?

[@Grunt21Tennessee]

Great video!!

[@harrykorver9690]

Happy new year! You might complement the drill with the freedom to lift the lead heel. That would make the sequence more balanced, leading to ‘ la dance du golfe’ .

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Possibly. We find most golfers don’t need to lift the heel to made a more than adequate turn. So for many it overturns the pelvis and hurts their sequence. We like to only recommend it when necessary 😉

[@harrykorver9690]

@ I understand. Maybe the less athletic players, a bit older or dealing with injuries, would benefit from the conformation that lifting the heel of the lead foot isn’t less functional. Greetings from the Netherlands!

[@3n2a2]

Active backswing per Dr Kwon + letting clubhead float at the top while you gently recenter with back to target = transition gold.

[@larryenglander8735]

Never feel rushed except driver…so as you said worse when club longer….been working especially with driver to speed up takeaway. Thanks

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

It sounds like you're on the right track! 👊

[@jessielillyman3262]

Love the video, I’ve been working on my take away, can you do a video sometime on the importance and technique of a good take away. Thanks fellas

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

do a "takeaway" search on our channel, you should find a few videos there to help. If you need something more specific, let us know what that would be.

[@airportchillis]

Trying to square the concept of the "arm float" with your other video on left arm abduction. When you demonstrate how to let the arms "finish" in the backswing, it looks like (emphasis here) that left arm is working across the chest. Is that movement just the left shoulder protracting? I hope that makes sense. I've tried limiting the amount my left arm works across my chest, but my arms have seem to gotten a little short in the process. Wondering if that arm trail off is the protraction piece of the movement. Thanks for excellent content as always.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

It could be, it could be that you don’t quit have enough adduction, or it could be a small combo of both. The arm needs to protract and adduct enough to get your watch opposite your trail shoulder 👍

[@daveandereck4803]

Thanks for this! Good clarification of how to do it. My problem is that when I've tried the drill I tend to just move way off the ball to the trail side, rather than, apparently, rotating and staying more centered. I'd like to incorporate this into my practice, but don't want to engrain the wrong thing. Any thoughts? Thanks!

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Moving off the ball is fine. About ~1.5" puts you right in the range of the best players in the world. But as with anything you're trying to change in your swing, you have to go slow enough to be able to actually do what you're trying to do. Just trying to do something doesn't cut it in a golf swing that last 1 second. Strip away the speed so you learn and do the thing. Adding speed back in is the easiest thing to do once you've improved the motion.

[@MD20-20]

Great vid as always. Something I find interesting, that I think kind of gets neglected, is foot work. For example, it seems to properly “roll” the trail foot a lot things in the swing need to be completed kind of correctly. If there’s a channel that can turn that unsexy topic into sexy it’s you guys!

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

You're right, it can make or break a swing. 🤯

[@DavidBeaumont-i7s]

I would love to see you demonstrate this same technique for a mid-iron vs driver, is it really the same? It works well for me with irons, not so much for driver … video suggests am not keeping elbow tucked, but not sure.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@@DavidBeaumont-i7s yes, same for both👍

[@kevinhefner5952]

This one is HUGE.....thx!

[@sundarpappu2601]

Awesome video guys

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

🙏🙂

[@barbarabarber3167]

When a round gets out of control, swing back longer and be very conscious of not rushing the downswing….but also, focusing on hips, knees and feet lets it happen naturally, without rushing-which is a conscious movement

[@richardjohnson-tb5pz]

So, I reckon that the push from the lead side in the backswing is what creates the small amount of sway off the ball?

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@@richardjohnson-tb5pz I think your right👍

[@julianburrows9721]

Great timing for this vid: Was working on this exact feeling yesterday- when it happened I gained 20 yds with my six iron (185 carry). What helped me was imagining pushing someone on a swing: you push as the swing reaches the top. Love the drill and may use that as a preshot routine to help keep the feeling!

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Love it - trust those instincts. It's like a cheat code for your swing 💣

[@RockintheSTL]

Great vid. I get concerned that my trail arm is going to bend too much when I feel like the arms continue after the body

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@@RockintheSTL it should only be a small amount- just a couple degrees when done correctly 👍

[@codex6594]

I actually say the name Vijaaay Singh in my mind with an emphasise on the aaay at the top of the backswing, gets me in a nice 3 to 1 ratio, sounds a bit crazy i know, but works a treat for me, anyway Happy New Year fellas thanks for all your great work👍🍻🥳🙏

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Love it! For me, it was always “Ernieeee Els” 🙂

[@caseypearce9078]

Would this same concept be useful for putting as well? It would be awesome if you could do a video (with GEARS as well 🤞) explaining the different putting strokes/techniques and the best way to achieve each (conventional vs lead hand low vs claw, etc.). Currently using a "prayer" grip (after moving from lead hand low) and LAB Link 1, but I still feel like my shoulders open too much in the through stroke more often than they should, causing offline results.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Yes it would apply there too 👊

[@crispyduck1706]

Scottie Scheffler has exactly that extra little float with the arms at the top

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Yep, he’s another good example 🙌

[@BigDov1987]

Can you guys please clarify backswing depth? I’m a tall guy and tend to get my lead arm a bit above my shoulder plane at the top and the butt end of the grip pretty much above where my shoe laces would be tied (if that makes sense). My tendency is to get the shaft a bit steep coming down and then body compensations through impact. I’ve been told I need to get more depth at the top and get the butt end of the grip more above my mid ankle at the top using more body rotation but really struggle to do that without the club and arms going really deep early which I’ve seen in your previous videos isn’t good

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Sure! Stand in front of a mirror to see what you're doing. From a standing posture, move your lead arm up and across so your watch is opposite your trail shoulder. That's what your arm needs to do. With your arm there, make a backswing pivot. Notice where your hand is relative to your trail foot in the mirror 👊

[@BigDov1987]

@ Thanks for the advice! You guys do personal online lessons?

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@@BigDov1987 we do. You can work with our lead instructor Nick Duffy now. Shaun and I should be opening up more of our online spots in the next couple months.

[@babutler83]

I think there's an often overlooked reason for feeling rushed in the golf swing... Pace of play issues. When you can see a few groups stacked behind you and you can't remember when you last saw the group ahead of you. 😅

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@@babutler83 then there’s that 👊😂

[@hawkness_monster]

Would love a video on the cause/correction of toe contact. The past two years I've been so far off the toe that I'll miss the grooves, have even hit quite a few toe shanks 😔

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Good video idea. There are a few causes. One of the most common is setup. Do your arms hang straight down from your shoulders at setup?

[@hawkness_monster]

@ pretty much, at least for irons/wedges. A little outside my shoulders with the driver

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@@hawkness_monster Good. Now look at the amount your lead hip moves towards the target line compared to how much the trail hip moves away in your backswing. Those should be equal amounts.

[@hawkness_monster]

@@AthleticMotionGolf I’ll do that, thanks!

[@robertnohrn9862]

I’ve watched every video on toe hits. Still doing it (for the last 3 years!)

[@dmac52]

OK, I'm swinging the club up to the top and when I get to the top I pause. Right handed swing. I'm really sensing all parts of my body and my ass feels like it has shifted left and I'm neutral with my weight distribution on my feet. It almost feels like I'm starting to sit or squat down. Is this correct? Thanking you in advance for any clarification.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Is that description going off of what it feels like, or on what is actually happening?

[@dmac52]

The weight shift and equal distribution on my feet is real.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@ what you’re describing sounds pretty darn good 💪

[@dmac52]

Holy crap.....thank you, thank you, thank you....

[@ajmic2]

I'm rushed when I feel I've got things left to do in the downswing. When the back swing is behaving I feel free time at the top and when that happens the ball comes out well

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

💪🏻💪🏻⛳️

[@mitchwinemaker7598]

Trick is how to add that speed but still avoid run off. When relax arms the run off naturally occurs.

[@TheChismillionaire]

Great drill for this is a tennis ball on the end of a rope with a golf grip. You can't be quick or out of sync and have it work.

[@lepepus]

Goreat tip, but showing Chris Kirk's swing in slow motion kind of defeats the purpose of seeing the speed difference in the first part of the takeaway, it would show tempo better in real time I think...

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

We debated about that, and you make a good point for the "discerning golfer" like yourself. BUT many golfers struggle to see subtle differences on video so we decided to slow him down. I know it's kinda like putting a mustache on the Mona Lisa but we made this decision for a wider demo 👊😉

Ok bros. I am amazing at short irons, good up til my hyprids, then my woods and driver, I'm terrible. I think my wrists and the problem and I'm going into the simulator working on that. but honestly why is a guy who is so aazing with his 7 iron suddenly turning over on his driver can't see any part of the fairway, thanks

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

RARELY does a player have different swings. Normally when that happens, it's just the things happening at slower swings (shorter clubs) not costing you until the clubs get longer or faster. Make sure to record your session 👊

[@andrewconnor4429]

@AthleticMotionGolf Thank you for this insight. Im 6'4" and I have a 46" driver. I can see how the longer and therefore faster swing is exposing my swing issues, which i believe are in my wrists and elbows, I will have to sign up and show you my swing, thanks for the comment
