TOP OF THE GOLF SWING: Critical Transition Sequence

[@TheRycooder]

LOVE your instructions....ALWAYS resonate with me, simplified and TO THE POINT, not dragged out for extra minutes......THANK YOU.

[@davenorby8161]

Finally! A golf instruction video that doesn't spend 50% or more of the time analyzing why you are doing it wrong. That "teaching" technique only reinforces your negative thinking so you continue to do it wrong. Most golf instructors get this wrong! Don't tell me how I"m doing it wrong, tell me how to do it right. You are a breath of fresh air! Thank you!

[@abuhamza1970]

Absolutely brilliant. I’ve watched thousands of hours of golfing videos but nothing like this. This video explains it so easily, that even an “eejit” like me feels confident enough to accomplish this. 😁

[@ivanbuzinski7785]

One of the best instruction videos ever! I now have your book, "A TRUE SWING" which I'm enjoying and have enrolled in your online instruction course. You've proven to me that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

[@generalmotors2498]

Erika, will convert a "hitter" into an incredible "swinger" in record time. PGA teachers love to drag lessons and teaching out forever and ever to just keep making money. It's nonsense! Erika is the best instructor to learn how to golf for amateurs PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chetroberson8023]

Totally agree! She has changed my thinking & game 100%!!

[@geraldtan8537]

"Golf teacher" is an understatement. You are an extraordinary "gifted" golf teacher. What a superb explanation of the transition in the golf swing. Thank you. In the line describing your achievements, "Mom" should come first (not last) as it is the most difficult of all accomplishments.

[@larkingolf]

Gerald aww wow you made my day!

[@toddallen4866]

No, she's a golf teacher. A good one for sure. Stop the adulation it's insincere. It's these kind of over the top comments and reactions that ends up putting people on pedestals they fall off of. Just keep it loose and steady just like her golf swing.

[@GrowProtectAssets]

Simplicity is the best teacher. You are a shining star. Thank you.

[@carmenkaufmann215]

Erika you’re a great teacher of the swing. I’ve worked on these for a long time Everything you taught in your video is so key to a successful and repeatable golf swing everyone should learn these drills.

[@MazRixx]

Erika you are the best I can’t say enough about how much you have helped me with the game of golf.

[@wookim4611]

Even after watching a billion videos and taking endless lessons this is the first time I’ve heard of this. Thank you!

[@joehackett4607]

Any other KZbin instructor would have dragged all that out to be much longer than 13 minutes and 38 seconds. Thanks for the clear and straight to-the-point lesson with the great drills included. Excellent job.

[@darrylhamm5707]

Great video. Best explanation of the transition that I have ever seen. I am off to the range! Thanks.

[@sekcquah9258]

Just love your calm clear instructions and explanation. Thank you.

[@waltreyer79]

Best Teacher on UTUBE. Played today after watching this video yesterday. I hit my driver as good as I could expect. Also hit some good irons. Great instruction! Thanks.

[@randyduane5370]

I really appreciate the thorough, simple, and effective explanation of the troublesome transition process. Very helpful! Thx

[@maceeaglemace]

Great and helpful detail for Sequencing. Few talk about correct use of front leg and Post. ENLIGHTING

[@clayitnow]

Thanks for the lesson. It's very clear and easy to follow.

[@stevesheridan3575]

In one day I have found fixes for both my backswing (Never takeaway) and transition. I was confused on the transition with driver. Thanks for the simple but effective way you instruct.

[@sheilasmith5323]

Love your explanations💗 Thanks so much!

[@alexpham113]

That's awesome, Erika. I cannot thank you enough.

[@garrywilcox2921]

Im 61 and ive played from age 12,this is great info love how easy you explain it thank you

[@HappyinHillsborough]

Thanks Erika - great breakdown of the transition....making it a distinct step in the process.

[@tarekhusseini-l6v]

good day to you.excellent illustration of the swing sensation thank you.

[@thehash5552]

What an amazing explanation of the fall move or shallowing the club! Honestly the best....

[@Mowers11]

Erika, you were such a great golf teacher. Your transition exclamation is the missing piece to a great golf swing.

[@brendonoehme8707]

Watching in Australia and now cant wait to try it out. Thanks heaps Erica...

[@williamlipscomb4862]

I’ve watched tons of instruction videos on the transition in the golf swing. This is by far the easiest to understand. Very well Done!!

[@martyshaffer2516]

“”The Fall” love that swing thought in sequence, load , sit and fire , thanks coach Erika 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@jeffretrac]

Great lesson…love the analogies and “feels”!

[@TJWhite-mq2ev]

I worked on your tip on less arms and more turn. This is, without question , the best advice I’ve ever heard. Within three swings I was hitting it farther, straighter and with significantly less effort. Every time I quit turning I went to an arm swing and the results were less than ideal. GREAT INSTRUCTION...WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Thanks so very much, Thomas

[@ArtJorgensen]

Such precise wording and meaning. No confusion here. Great preparation of the lesson with great execution!

[@stevec9231]

Awesome video!! I truly believe this will fix the biggest flaw in my swing.

[@kenocamb9351]

Arikaeye's...., you are a Game Changer!!! Todays lesson, opened my eye's, to the key element, that is missing in my golf swing! Thaml you, for your Knowledge!! Can't Wait to get out there again, and put this into practice!!!!!

[@howrdhill4700]

I have been locked into GRF golf for a long time but your breakdown of body mechanics is next level. Your body drop and pumping the legs is all part of using the ground. You’re a great instructor. Love how you explain your feel.

[@suzanneharland3234]

Thank you sooo much! I think those drills will help me a lot now that i understand the séquence.

[@Stealth534]

This is gold! I should have watched this when I was taking my first golf lesson.

[@tonymaguire2764]

Great and clear golf instruction, thank you.

[@bonniechen7028]

I appreciated your video, easy to understand and very practical for new golfer like me. 🙏🌹❤️

[@tlhoward5655]

Are we "allowing" the tip and fall and return of weight to the front foot to provide the clubhead speed? Do we forget the arms and just let them follow all the former? I am trying to figure out how "allowing" the tipping/fall/ weight shift ever allow an increase in swing speed. Erika, you're a great explainer, but I can't find a single video in which you articulate one sentence that sums up what actually will increase clubhead speed.

[@allenneedy1392]

Best presentation I’ve ever seen. Thank you!

[@kylesinclair203]

So good!!! Thank you. I’m off to the range!

[@lawofvisualization]

Really love your teaching style. Thanks

[@charlieweston1273]

Very nice description of the transition and what you should feel

[@camo2204]

I've only just found your channel Erika, I'm working on my transition at the moment, thank you so much for the drills..perfect!

[@ruthcameron3838]

Excellent instruction as a new golfer the simplicity of instruction helps a lot thank you!

[@hammockmonk]

The tipping over, 2:10. This is where I fail, I think because I have tension in my wrists and grip, preventing the club from moving freely into that position. I’ll have to experiment with this on the range. Thanks!

[@rlmonson]

Hi Erika. The content in this video is outstanding. It directly addresses a major issue that many many golfers struggle with. That said it’s unfortunate that you used a gun reference to describe it. I understand that the load cock fire analogy is obvious in terms of the operation of a firearm but I watched the video on my television with several others present and they outwardly cringed. For what it’s worth I felt that as a huge fan of yours I would be remiss if I did not point that out to you. Thanks for all that you do for the amateur golfers struggling to improve. Your message is always consistent. I cannot say that about the hundreds of PGA professionals who were all taught out of the same book yet give us hundreds and hundreds of versions of the same content. Seems like a racket to me but thankfully I follow you because you have remained consistent. Keep up the great work. Love your book!

[@lawrencedimartini2449]

You are just brilliant coach.. Thank you indeed

[@georgenguyen525]

Hi Erika, Thank you very much for your teaching video. I could not wait to try them out in my next driving session - especially my driver. Awesome teaching.

[@cherylperkins7538]

Beautiful swing. You make it look so easy. 😊

[@uun4028]

So much to work on just in this one video. Thank you for all this theory. Very well explained. Anxious to practice practice practice and put this to use.

[@risingphoenix7633]

You are an amazing teacher Erika, very glad I found your channel recently! Subbed all the way!

[@jbuburuz]

I like your comment with driver at impact you return to same tilt you had at address. I never thought of this as impact with driver. But it makes sense. All pros have that impact look. Very cool. Thanks.

[@barrybird67]

Just found you on Instagram, such a pleasure learning from you. Great drills for me to work on. 👍

[@VJ-hk6gd]

Hi Erika, Thank you so much for your vidéos ! I started to play golf at 12 and now i’m 40. I’m 4 index and thanks to your videos, i understood the problem of my golf swing is the transition… none of my golf coach told me. So, thanks to you i know how to practise with your advice and exercises. Thank you soooo much 🙏

[@jamesheeney7451]

I cannot tell you how great this video is. All these "hit bombs" videos dont help the average Joe. I have been practicing this and not only have I increased distance but the slice is way better :) Thank you.

[@shug2795]

Getting out of the transition is something I struggle with. Too often I stand up or early-extend out of a decent "back-swing". I honestly need to focus as much or more on my posture post-contact. And by-the-way, thank you!

[@billoconnell653]

Great drills and good sequence explanation

[@henninghghjensen3771]

thanks - this instructions are clear and I believe that I can work with them

[@amcdlm24]

Love this video and have watched it multiple times. Do you have a video specifically dealing with fairway woods? Big struggles with those!!! Thank you,,,you and your book are awesome!!!

[@RealEstateMexico2024]

Awesome tips will go to driving range to practice the drills 😊

[@marvincoats125]

Erika, I've bought your book and I'm really enjoying your lessons. We have a summer home in Roaring Gap, NC and I may try to make a trip to visit you in the near future. What is the golf net that you are using in these indoor videos? Thanks and keep it going.

[@noelkelly7067]

Great advice and drills to work on........I'm off to the range

[@jonwright8236]

thanks so much for another great video Erika, really helped

[@ksharpe10]

Wow, best demonstration of the Step and Swing drill. I used to call it the Baseball drill. You must have been affiliated or originally taught at the Golf Digest Schools/Jim Flick and Bob Toski. I used to do the Step and Swing all the time at the Actual Driving Range, People probably thought I was Nutz. LOL. You Know your a serious Player when you have a Net inside your Home.

[@peternikitopoulos8776]

I watched this video several times. So much resonated with me. Then I ordered your book on Amazon and read it cover to cover. It's like a journeyman's handbook. Something you put in your bag, and take to the range to work on drills and better understand the "natural swing." I so wish I had come across your content years ago. You have a teaching style that makes perfect sense and incorporates more of a person's natural abilities. Absolutely brilliant. Hoping to take a lesson with you someday. Outstanding video and mental cues. "The heave,"...the transition ( a pitcher falling toward the target).

[@doorboyyy]

Great tip! I think Shawn Clement calls this the gather or gathering move before delivery. Great video just subscribed.

[@philipmontera3092]

Do you have a video on the proper way to rotate unloading/releasing the club through impact (or rather, the feels)? Thank you.

[@dougramey4571]

Hopefully you have helped me find my swing.

[@michelhoule9500]

Merci Érika ! Pratique et utile ! Nice personality 🍀👍🎶

[@roberthubbard5696]

This transition piece is good but I think your more recent video with emphasis on straightening the lead leg helps to get the rotation included BEFORE impact.

[@JimFairbanks-wh3kj]

Awesome! You just helped my teaching. Thanks

[@goodwish1543]

Great teaching, down to the point.

[@thomasfraser9072]

Hi Erica love you analogies of the golf swing. The roller coaster and now this. At 74 years old I discovered that if I swing with the power of my upper arms I can feel ‘the fall’ as you describe and it naturally occurs for me as my swing is now set as an automatic rife. How? With my both Vs pointing at my trail shoulder; my trail trigger finger correctly wrapped around my club; and responsive wrists as you showed us in another video; I am pre locked and loaded and ready to ‘fire’ passing my club head ‘bullet’ through the ball. Cheers

[@waiyanthihan]

Erika you are the best. Where can i find the driver lesson?

[@sheilasmith5323]

Fabulous explanations! Thanks💗

[@ecs2sy501]

Where you been all my LIFE. This have complex me for so much in my golf swing. I hope you are located in FLORIDA so I can come get a lesson or two, especially for my daughter.

[@ayjaykay7085]

Loved this video Erika and the 3 phase concept you presented for the downswing. Two things: First, what muscles groups are being activated to 'cock' the gun ie bring the arms down, move left laterally; second, would have been instructive to see the transition down the line for driver. Thanks in advance for your response.

[@ecs2sy501]

I have read the book which is helpful. I’m a big guy and have a head time with separation . When I begin the fall my shoulders open in the fall also. Anything I can do to help with this?

[@normdiamondphotography5708]

Absolutely love your true swing technique. I definitely have more distance in just the first few days trying it and reading your book. Question about your head movement, especially for irons. Does your head go past the ball before the clubhead reaches the ball? And on the backswing do you allow for some head movement away from the ball?

[@ronnleffler7201]

Wow just wow great way of explaining it!

[@mattmiller115]

Nice explanation…and a Tom House shout out!

[@jimpatsch8695]

Erica, I can’t find you on performance golf. I purchased your subscription to performance golf. 2:53

[@1cleandude]

Great lesson very imporENT!🙏🙏🙏

[@KingerK9GSD]

Great videos Erika, may I ask your indoor mat recommendation? I know there is a handful of commercial grade to choose from, which do you feel is the most forgiving (avoid injury)? Which are you using as per this video? Thanks Erika 😊

[@flipdawhip2573]

that little fall is the magic move. massive power when you fall then open hips.

[@philipmontera3092]

Fantastic video. Thank you!

[@CDV99]

Excellent video

[@MrMacb69]

That analogy actually makes sense.

[@robertashworth794]

Really good video. Excellent drills.

[@PaulieWasHere7]

I need this information. More drills!

[@latimermd]

I love this - but I've been told not to lower and raise - that the head position height should remain about the same and not go up and down - like when you watch the LPGA in slow motion and the announcer draws a circle around their head so that you can see that?

[@chadwaite5418]

Thanks for the drills

[@alvor2762]

Thank you for your insight into this.

[@TheVoltar100]

Nice tutorial 👋 from France

[@kerriepont7029]

Really love your method of instruction.

[@larkingolf]

Thank you!

[@Michaelzellner2008]

Great tips! I will work on the transition and let you know how it goes!

[@VasuBalakrishnan]

You are my #1 inspiration!!!

[@jimjanlivin5152]

Thank you, Coach Larkin! Does this work for or vary for the traditional method vs. stack and tilt?

[@jimsteiger6811]

Would you be willing to share what you are using for a net and mat?
