Of the 1,000s of videos of watched over the years this is in my top three if not my #1……gold pure gold.

[@franzgolbeck3314]

The content that you are providing all of us is priceless, and the fact that you are taking the time to offer further instruction in the comments is absolutely above and beyond. People like all of you are getting harder and harder to find. Thank you very much.

This is bang on the money, I'm trying to teach my daughter all of what you show on YT, the 'giving blood' reference is a good idea, even the cameraman at the end agrees ..

Porzak golf and rotary swing are the only channels golfers should be watching

[@PorzakGolf]

Thank you! Rotary has a lot of parallels to what we do, we try to keep it as simple as possible! Thank you for watching!

If you've never seen Mike Malaska' videos then I suggest you do

[@MBpotts]

This is the best golf video I’ve ever seen. I’ve been drilling home the right elbow sensation and good setup position on the range. I’m getting the club in a 100% better position. This is going to make a huge difference in my game. Nice content, keep it up!

[@JamesBrock72]

This has been a game changer for me, I've never had anyone explain each arm this way. Thank you.

[@chongannyap7562]

Best explanation of how to maintain the "Triangle" between shoulder and arms and forcing the body to rotate and keeping the arms in front of the chest. 👍

[@jcx5663]

Never fails to surprise me how there isn't 10x more subscribers to this channel. Hands down the best, no bs, golf swing information out there.

[@robbosch3449]

I love that you guys focus on the hands not getting deep, but instead staying in front of your chest at all times. I've been getting too deep for years, and it's a ball striking killer. When I focus on a backswing that solely relies on my chest taking the club back my ball striking improves dramatically. Great work guys.

[@mjwidell]

For some reason, this just clicked! For a guy who struggles with a right arm getting behind and backswing getting too long, this just turned the lightbulb on! Thank you.

Nice video, def been one of my problems of bringing the right elbow to far back and tucked in

[@Roughroadoutdoors]

This video changed my game! I always missed left and thin and I no my hands usually get Behind me but couldent get the feeling or position right.Especially since I have a strong grip and I use my right hand for everything I for use it to much in my swing. And as soon as I felt like my right arm wasent doing anything anymore and I used my left arm for the whole swing and pushing my hands down my feet line like he said it clicked! It worked and stripe it way more Consistently! Thank you!

[@djdibibar516]

I can relate to the trail arm fault. I’m short in stature and a little muscular in the upper body and have a difficult time getting my elbows to stay close to each other. I needed this, thanks!

[@PorzakGolf]

Actually what you need DJ is to get your arms on top of your chest! This will make your life trying to get your elbows close together way way easier. This is a huge huge thing for anybody with a big her stature or a really muscular physique or chest! simply said over the golf ball stand up lift your hands above your head in front of you and then lower your arms down to regular setup and you’ll feel your arms relax more on top of your chest. Let us know how it goes!

[@timbrouwer972]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. No single real life lesson I had matches your quality. I’ve been watching a lot of your videos, and I’m finally getting all the fundamentals together. Connected backswing, hand in front of the chest (that took a while), left hip back in the downswing and pushing the handle forward to neutralise the clubface without any manipulation. Now trying to get all this together in practice, too bad u guys are located in the US 😭

excellent lesson, totally makes sense when you talked about that elbow cheating the turn instead of the shoulders doing it. looks like i got some work to do.

[@PorzakGolf]

You got this! The human body and mind are amazing. They will always try to find a shortcut with the least resistance. We always say consistent thoughts lead to consistent shots.

[@MS1022YT]

Ive been working on this exact same issue (club in front of the body) for the past month and couldn't get it fixed... I just ran into this video and I had an epiphany. Wow can't wait to try this out on the range. Thanks!

[@glenj.taylor2938]

Great video y'all. So I've always been curious, what is the role of right hand and arm during the different phases of the swing?

[@PorzakGolf]

The trail arm and trail hand is very passive during the golf swing. Ben Hogan talked about wanting one only moments before impact when he could extend through the golf ball and he wished he had three trail arms and hands to apply three times the power!

[@richardmyers2003]

Incredible video, makes a lot of sense

[@johnazzuri1881]

[@mrhyde1314]

[@PorzakGolf]

[@GRB72]

absolutely love this instruction and swing feels!!

[@PorzakGolf]

So happy you like it Gary! Thanks for watching!

[@g4yrut]

Something worth noting is the importance of keeping that arm structure, not just in the backswing, but in the downswing as well. Because our elbows will naturally separate slightly at the top, as our hands travel a further distance than our bodies rotation, many players will leave that separation or even increase it during the downswing. An effective feeling during the downswing js bringing those elbows back together, focusing on keeping that right elbow in front. I like the sensation of initiating the downswing with the right elbow, and feeling like its beating my entire right side to the golf ball. If you record yourself DTL, you can notice just how drastically a small change in right elbow position will change the steepness of the club.

[@systemoptimizer3542]

Upload to the wrong location with it on Porzak instead of Pitt? I like the right arm (give blood) hanging next to the grip and passively going back in sync with the left arm, torso. Ernie Els has mentioned liking to take the club away with the left arm/left shoulder. One thing that worries me with using the left arm for takeaway is the possibility of the arm abducting across the chest (making the arm swing deep and across the chest) if the chest doesn't turn properly.

I just found your channel and i have been watching as many videos as i can! I just started playing golf a little less than a year ago but very eager to learn more and more and continue to improve. Being a leftie, i would love to see some tutorials from the left side to get more of the look and feel for certain body positioning. Love the videos that i have watched so far and looking forward to watching all of them. :)

Welcome to the Porzak family!

[@MichaelRobichaud]

I've been watching the channel for the last 6 months. They are my favorite so I splurged on the master class. There live sessions are priceless IMO.

[@flipdawhip2573]

this GOLDEN

[@richardginste4399]

When pushing the left arm back to start the swing, does the chest have to turn at the same rate to make room for the left arm to stay in front ?

[@desano1975]

People do not value this content enough. My land o lakes of butter these Porzak bros made me quit taking Prozac for my swing. This video is saved in my vault. Gosh thank you. I hit 200 balls the other day and this has to be part of the pull hook. 170 out 200 were pulled.

[@PorzakGolf]

Hahaha 🧈 thank you so much for watching!

[@dlee9704]

Great lesson and video. I suffer from this very same thing (I am sure there are other faults as well but I know this is one of them). I film my swing over and over again and consistently see this fault in my swing. Lately I have been working on better rotation which has helped but my right arm still gets "stuck" which I have attributed to lack of connection in the back swing. I am rather athletic and moderately muscular and I have always relied on this to get me through. But this is not even close to enough and probably gets me in trouble. I need better structure and fundamentals. Anyways, thanks for the vid and will definitely give these drills a try.

[@PorzakGolf]

Thank you for watching!

[@stephenbrown8018]

[@vikramkanth8086]

Loved it ❤

[@ryanwalters694]

I’m sure you’ve heard this before but I have the baseball swing. Played a lot of baseball as a kid and then coed softball as I aged. That swing is ingrained in my sub conscience. On top of that, I was a right handed dead pull power hitter. That leads to flipping the wrists and weight landing on my back foot. When I slow down, I can make myself get the weight in the front side but I tend to spray it all over the place. I’ll pull one, make and adjustment and then loose the next one right. I’m a train wreck lol

[@PorzakGolf]

Hit lead leg only shots, keep your elbows together and go chest high backswing and follow! Ultimate connector drill!

[@weekendwarrior17]

[@firstname7330]

Keeping the right elbow from getting behind, does this also help with clubhead speed?

[@ald7688]

Good stuff 👌

[@thomaswilliams6668]

Your right hand is what puts pressure on the ball.

[@rickmiller8893]

Do people say they feel like there isn't as much pressure shifting in each foot when keeping the bump? I don't mean like there's no shift.. It's like it just doesn't feel as much pressure as lateral shifting.

[@johnharrington6122]

Personally , I believe that knowing the pressure points in the grip is the real secret to upper body rotation and a connected arm swing that will repeat : Last two fingers of the left hand , middle two of the right , smothering pressure of the right thumb pad on the left thumb and the big knuckle of the right forefinger against the side of the handle , the right thumb doing nothing !

[@MattDoesGolf]

Great video as always! When you talk about using the back of the left arm and shoulder to accelerate the club in the downswing, how does this not result in ‘pulling the handle’ and consequently steepening the shaft?

[@PorzakGolf]

This is why we make sure our players are making a fully connected and complete backswing, the club is essentially coming right back, where it came from give or take a degree or two.

[@darad1659]

Left arm dominant in the back swing. What arm should be dominant in the through swing? Is it still left?

[@PorzakGolf]

It is majority lead arm throughout the entire swing, however, just prior to impact the trail arm can really extend through the golf ball to add some power! This is why Ben Hogan said he wished he had three trail arms at impact!

[@guitar1950]

How do I incorporate proper wrist action to get more power in my swing while keeping arm connection with the body?

[@PorzakGolf]

Great question! Check this vid out! m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ_SdHeddrKpfrs

[@guitar1950]

@@PorzakGolf Worked on the takeaway move squeezing the lead pinky. Totally different feel than before. Now I'm focusing on kepping my lead arm connected by moving the club with my core turn and almost immediately squeezing the lead pinky which keeps the club head outside the hands. Once I got it down I hit much better wedges and farther with less effort. Thanks for feedback!

[@luisfarris]

Then there is Hogan wishing he had three right hands. So which is it- left or right?
