Put a long sleeve shirt on, or a jacket, but leave your arms out of the sleeves. Put your arms across your chest, inside the jacket. Now, simulate a golf swing. The only way to sling those empty sleeves through, to a full finish, is to do what he’s describing in this video. You’ll notice that the sleeves lag behind, but go through with tons of speed. THIS is the “feeling” that he’s describing! Now, hit a ball with this feeling. The actual “hit” will feel delayed, just as he said, but the speed will feel effortless. You’ll also not even feel your divot, because the club is now accelerating through the hitting area, as it should. This is the same “sequencing” that pitchers use. They step towards the plate first, then turn the hips, then the torso, and chest, then the arm lags behind, and lastly the wrist releases. You can pretty much use any sport as an example, where speed, and power is needed. Throwing a football, hitting a forehand, hitting a baseball, etc. Golfers are afraid to be athletic, because the ball, and club face leave very little room for error. You have to get out of that, and learn to trust yourself.

After 50 years of theoretical & practical study of the golf swing & observing the teaching methods & reading the books of all of the great instructors, I rate this demonstration/explanation as the best ever analysis of the fundamental motions of the golf swing. This simplification/demonstration of proper golf swing body movement is definitely an “AH HA” golden nougat for every beginning golfer, and should accelerate the development of a better golf swing for every golfer. Thanks for making golf more fun.

[@michaelgonzalez6971]

Thanks so much for this. I have been binge watching golf swing videos and practicing ever since covid. I have had the typical frustrating experience of repeating three steps forward and then two or more steps backward. Your concept was instantly helpful and seems fundamental to achieving consistency that you can build on. Thanks again.

[@lauriel7968]

Steve, I just got back from holiday and I have been keen to try your light bulb moment. Trying to get hips correct and not early release plus always being a sweeper your thought of being in a side on position was magic. I certainly need more work at it but everything seems to get into position without even thinking about it. To also hit ball turf was a bonus. Probably the BEST tip I have not only got from KZbin but from the many coaches I have seen over many years. A big thanks !!

Wow. I am a chronic hip staller but also lucky enough to have a nice indoor sim setup with cameras. I’ve never had a teacher explain this the way you just did. I walked out to the golf sim this evening and tried a few swings and *immediately* saw a difference on camera with how open my hips were at impact. Goat hump was gone. Thank you!

Goat hump? Okay, that's a new one! What is it?

[@johnzabroski5396]

To fix hip stall, do chops with the cable machine at your gym. If you're materially wealthy, you can install a $2,000 Keiser Performance Trainer cable machine in your man cave but it requires an air compressor as it's air pressure resistance cable machine. It saves a ton of space, though.

Awesome videos and instruction Steve. I have added so many yards following your suggestions ! Thankyou for your time and knowledge ! Over 10 yards for most irons or more, and over 30 to 40 yards for the driver. Example, 7 iron from 140 to 150 plus, driver 230 to 260 plus. Will be 71 yrs old this May, but still strong for my age. Former football player but still in the gym pumping that iron!

[@Inmotion70]

Great to hear!

260, or even 230, is impressive for a 70 year old. Everything I've read on the internet says the average drive for 70 year olds is under 200 yards.

It took me forever to go back and find this video, which I first watched a few months ago. I needed to download it, and also thank you for it. I’m a 70 y/o beginner, and it turns out to truly be a lightbulb moment. I went from not bothering to keep score to trying to break 90. You have NO IDEA how much it means to me to really understand exactly what I need to work on, and what I need to feel.

[@RafaelHernandez-wl2oq]

Thanks for the video, that is the piece I was looking to understand my puzzle, my coach keep telling me don't think on the arms or elbows or hand just swing, but i keep early extending, and I was thinking i need to delay the hit, when i see your video everything accommodate, thanks a lot, I you offer lessons I will contact you, again thanks a lot

[@pohoresky]

One of the best videos yet- a classic- that is how golf should be taught from the outset not the BS we get instead. Want to get open while maintaining forward bow (flexion of spine) to get into position to impact the ball.

[@moonpaws1]

Brilliant.

[@DavidNums]

I have found a similar technique through using a "chuck-it" to throw a tennis ball to my dog. If I keep my arm connected to the body turn, I can really heave it. If I do arms only, it won't get half as far.

[@GammaZeta]

Excellent video, subscribed. I use the exact same swing thought. When I started doing this my scores went from 100s to low 90s and sometimes 80s. I would like to see what can be done to tighten up dispersion (improve accuracy) as a follow on to this video. I am either pushing or hooking and it hitting too few GIR.

Hello. Having a hart time in all those things!... Working on this concept - able to do it (I think...) with irons (sometimes!...). When I do, it's the best shots ever! But, very much in trouble with the Driver! Thanks.

[@jeffadams5413]

Fantastic timing Steve. I at times have a good body rotation with poor release and just the opposite at other times good release and poor body rotation. I say body rotation as my coach has so often pointed out the whole body needs to work in sync. Thanks.

[@zacharydmoser]

" everything is working as a unit except the hands working independently to catch up to the arm shaft line at impact "

Great lesson. Force = Mass x Acceleration. I need speed, body movement and club head timing and positioning. Back to the range.😀

[@rackum44]

Great video? How much should your shoulders be open at impact?

[@DaveH1969]

After back issues I have developed a hook. Just starting to realize Im not rotating enough in a sub conscious effort to protect my back. Your video reinforces the idea for me to rotate much more and earlier and try to get front on at impact. Thank You

[@Inmotion70]

Make sure you have foot right foot and knee motion to allow the lower spine to keep up and keep stress low.

[@remowb]

Steve, how soon should shoulders start to open on downswing. Jack said the best tip he was ever given was to keep his back facing target as long as possible.

[@danlong6162]

Just came from the range where i tried out this idea. I hit the straightest iron shots of my 8 yr golfing career. Loved that. However, my 8i only goes 140 yrds now, whereas i've been hitting it 150-160. I'll try a few tweaks to get the power back but this idea is a great baseline i can always fall back on. Thank you, Steve!

[@pivotmaster9556]

crazy, this works off another concept to add. If you stick out your arm like you said and slap with it but rotate it 90 degrees up, its EVEN better. you can feel elbow close to the body and get the right plane

[@jimsaddler942]

I just had a lesson on this exact technique. I immediately began to hit my 6 iron in the high 180-yard range, which was about 10 yards farther than normal. However, when turning my hips on the downswing, I had a hard time keeping my eyes over the ball. They wanted to turn as well and I was hitting the ball (somewhat fairly well though) with my eyes already looking down the fairway. I would assume it's important to keep your eyes/head over the ball while turning your hips though? Any tips or suggestions on that?

[@Inmotion70]

The feeling of looking down the fairway early is not a bad one.

[@hammertyme8392]

Knowing where the low point in your swing is, is key. The problem is for amateurs is it changes from swing to swing

[@jamesscinto5221]

Another great representation of the golf swing I only question is, can you do the same thing with a driver as you can with an iron?

[@Inmotion70]

Yes!

[@barrybeavers]

wow! For someone that goes hot and cold with my irons due to using my arms and not rotating, this is the best thing I could have started my day with! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

[@Raptor306090]

Im a tall golfer and i have a problem standing up on my swing. Instead of getting under the ball, i hit the ball with the bottom edge of the club either pushing it into the ground or only hitting it as if i used a putter.

[@davidgraham8058]

Stop trying to get under the ball. You don’t need to hit it up. The loft on the club will do that. You need to compress it.

[@hosoiarchives4858]

It’s a good tip

[@thefishnmusician9667]

Steve, Well tried this on the course today without going to the range first. I swung about 80% and was more accurate than i ever was and getting solid compression right off the first tee. With the driver on the downswing 1) pressure to the lead foot keeping hands back then turning the shoulder and being conscious of the side of the body inline with the arms at impact. I feel less effort, my lower back feels fine and it requires no small manipulation moves and these are big muscle moves for improved consistency. The difference i found between irons, hybrids and fairway woods compared with driver is my trail hand pushing through impact is delayed while keeping my hands inline with the "side" of my trail leg/body. With all other clubs i found when i tried to delay the hands at the side of my body I pulled my shots so I focused on turning lead hip and pushing with trail hand sooner in the downswing only and my strikes were straight and solid. Steve do you find your students pull shots with irons and fairway woods when trying to mimic what you do with driver?

[@Inmotion70]

Terrific. Glad this feel worked for you!

[@Lubo-qd2zs]

Thanks for the video, the comment you made about "leaving the club" at the top I assume is a feeling as opposed to reality as it would surely result in the club getting stuck behind and a body stall to allow them to catch up? Cheers

[@Inmotion70]

Yeah that's a different issue. As long as my pivot and turn are solid, I want my arms to lag as far behind my chest as possible.

[@SherbertF]

@@Inmotion70 lf the arms lag behind the chest, is the club face not open at impact?

[@UnknownMoses]

my lightbulb moment was learning to let gravity control clubhead speed pitches and chips and just bringing club back further for longer shots. Hit 3000 practice chips. The lightbulb part was gravity controlling clubhead speed ensures the clubhead accelerates through the bottom of the swing every single time producing the exact same carry distance every time.
