The view and forward movement at 4:50 awakened a whole new thought process for me. It makes so much sense and it’s a move that’s never fully registered with me. Thanks fellas! 🤜🏻

Great explanation of the drills and what they are good for. Would love to see one of you complete the drills or bring in an amateur to walk through the drills. Would be a little longer video but I'm sure plenty of us junkies would watch. Looking forward to trying these. Thanks guys.

I've long struggled to "square the club with the body" with no success. Really encouraging to see you guys emphasizing the importance of training the hands and arms to properly square the club.

Happy New Year to both of you, and thanks for all the great videos. This is a really useful one I have watched twice and will watch many times in order to apply it at the range and, when weather permits, on the course.

Great video. I really like how you explain the release of the hands. I also found the recentering a bit easier to understand when shawn just lifted his left foot. Great and simple demonstration. Thanks guys.

Love the drills and the slow motion of the swing and what is happening at each stage and what you should expect

Great Video. I love these . I follow a hand full of you guys on here maybe 5 and these are the greatest videos explaining the lag swing , compressing the ball. People post videos on swinging a club which I have followed for a year or so. But this right here I wish I had a year ago. Thank you

I check lots of video about golf, and i believe this is the best channel to learn. Thank you!

at 13:18 when shaun just absolutely pures one from his back heel to impact lol

As usual giving up the good stuff for free. Thanks guys. Maybe I'll see yall out on tour...😉

Outstanding, concise video On 3 of the most important fundamentals of the golf swing. At the same time exposing swing myths. Just finished doing the impact drill, it's exactly what I needed. ⛳

Great job guys thanks

By far the most helpful KZfaq channel on improving my swing. I am very grateful for all you do. Looking forward to even more of these in 2022!

Best golf coaching duo there is. Y’all compliment each other very well. Thanks for the videos!

Love this channel! I got into a bad habit of trying to 'hold lag' and 'burn and turn'. Focusing on releasing wrist angles has helped a lot

I love your videos guys, keep'em coming! Quick question: Do you have any videos for folks like me who are very stiff and lack the mobility to get that "full turn with high hands" in the back swing? this being the case, at what point does a person like myself end the back swing and begin transition? I find myself trying to emulate these extremely flexible pros, which I believe is throwing my sequence off. After watching your videos, because of this, I also noticed a checkpoint of my lead shoulder turning across my chest under my chin and the club gets behind me. Thanks!!

All this info is absolute gold.

Guys,these views from up and behind a pro are so great. It’s much easier to (try to) mimic the move and this swing is definitely more simple than mine 😁. Greeting from France ✌🏻

Great video , instructions and illustrations, I hope I got this , I will work on the 3 drills and hopefully hit compression shots

saw your past video explaining this and has helped me a lot. Im a 0 handicap, but had nerve damage from a back injury 2 years ago and now have left ankle instability. I wear a brace to play, and if I oversway any in my backswing it leads to disaster as I try to recenter and rebalance. So I have to really focus on keeping my center over the ball as long as possible in the backswing and keep pressure on my left foot (55-45), so that it is more stable and I can keep turning and moving my center forward before I get to the ball. Then I REALLY focus on my finish and balance. Has helped regain my distance and contact. Thanks guys!

I have just learned so much from this video! Thanks guys!

Thanks again. This helped a lot on how clubhead gets from 9 to 3. Looks like club just falls to impact instead of being held. An isolation video of the arms and hands into impact and how hit actually occurs would be cool. Maybe already done but would like to see that one. Always great stuff. Really appreciate you guys.

Thanks for another great video. You guys are the best.😊

Some of the old tips years ago were intended for many of us hacks who needed an exaggeration, or practice only move, in key areas of the swing. Like the holding back with the wrist angle and trying to maintain lag, just getting us to move into the right side going back at all, my favorite the feet together L to L half swing drill I got from Golf Tips magazine years ago. Higher handicap stuff for sure but it helped overswinging, reverse pivoting glancing blow early casters get a better feeling of what a golf swing feels like... to a point. Great drills here as always, and a much more thorough understanding of WHY. Of all your youtube videos the one that blows me away is still the left arm movement going back.... or how little of it actually. Thanks for that, guys!

Just found you guys. Awesome awesome awesome. These 3 drills changed my swing of 40 years. I was constantly looking for what the pros do for this hidden distance. I'm very atheletic but knew I wasnt doing something right. It was this weight shift. Mind blowing. Wish I found this info years ago. That fall forward drill is probably the best golf swing drill ever. Im compressing the irons and getting that whip like feel. Wish you were located in Georgia

Another great video and 3 great drills to try. I've dropped my handicap by 10 this year and I've had my ankle in a moon boot for 4 months due to a snapped Achilles tendon, so it just goes to show if you digest the lessons and practice practice practice it will make a difference. Looking forward to testing this out in Scotland 2022, have a great New year guys.

Great video, as usual! I will say I own the divot board, and now my swing has gone to crap…I think there needs to be very precise instructions on how to use it…I used it all winter and what I found it did to me was make me focus so much on looking down at the divot, I neglected to do a complete follow through…When I got back outdoors and hitting on the range, I was straight pushing everything because I wasn’t completing my rotation through the ball…or, I just plain stink…could be the case. LOL!

Mike and Sean great stuff really think you guys are the best teachers--- !!!!!!!

Fantastic!

Respect. You are the best at detailed reasoning. Question: Is there validity to the 4:30 approach or the 45 degree angle that the hands approach the ball from, or do you like the shaft parallel to the ground-hands moving toward the target line? What does the data show? Thanks in advance!

Another essential video from the best in the business! You guys address what I think are the two most common misconceptions of the golf swing …. 1) The mistaken belief that there should be little to no lateral movement in the golf swing, both off the ball and in the downswing, particularly with the upper body moving together with the lower body. A major problem I experience working with golfers is early separation … their sternum separates from their pelvis very early in the downswing (often in transition), causing their lower body to race ahead of their upper body. From that early separation, the arms, hands, and club have to play catch-up, leading to an excessive amount of club face rotation and flipping through impact. This early separation causes their swing to become timing-dependent, and as David Duval has said, “Timing is the enemy of golfers.” However, as you guys constantly stress, as the upper body moves left laterally with the lower body, and stays stacked over the lower body, at least until left-arm parallel and even into the delivery phase, the timing nature of the strike is removed. Club face stability is enhanced, even with an aggressive release from the delivery phase into impact. This aggressive release of the club face, as you demonstrate, is the opposite of common misconception No. 2) the belief that you have to hold the lag angle and drag the handle through impact. I see this all the time as golfers rehearse this hold-and-drag action in their practice swings. Golfers do not understand that if they position their body correctly in the downswing, as you demonstrate, they can have that aggressive release of the club face through the ball, and it is not flipping nor is it timing-dependent. Gentlemen, once again, your content is golden. I send guys to your site all the time. I appreciate what you do, and I hope you both had a very merry Christmas and a happy holiday season…..

Great content guys. Happy new year

Great drills to compress golf ball

Thanks! Having your loop example with the step forward would have been a big help if it could be in slow motion

happy new golf year

amazing. stuff as always

That was a real eye opener! I was trying to get the club to impact with just body rotation. No wonder why I was frustrated….Thank You!

Great video. So many Instagram Golf Instructors showing all body rotation into impact. Can you tell me what was the left arm to shaft angle at setup vs impact for the golfer in the video? This video pairs well with the video on when Pros vs Ams fully release.

Love it lads

This is good stuff. Taking this on board....

Great synthesis of a number of concepts. Dynamic balance of weight shift, body rotation, and wrist uncock. For someone who played baseball as their first sport, this helps me understand the difference and understand how power comes from the lever principle (and spot-on contact) not brute force.

Hey Guys, thanks. Your stuff is great and it works and I am just beginning. Question, with the short irons, when we open the clubface, my shots go right, with an open clubface what adjustment is necessary to get the ball headed to the target

Hi,working on bowing the left hand ,it’s just amazing how good it fills when done right,it’s hard like all good thing’s.any drills to help that (or maybe pot the hand in water it makes it softer ☺️)thank you

Great video again, thanks lads. Can you talk about the torque put on the shaft and the amount of club face roll.

Excellent video

Excellent guys, my game is now based on your teachings...

I have a coach. I watch a lot of lessons. This one video is by far the best !! At least for my game. This one put all the pieces together!! Add in the importance of the left leg and I’ll quit my coach!!

I've got to figure out some way to give this two (or more) thumbs up! The third point is huge!

Very good drills! I have a problem swaying either direction and leaving weight on back foot, i also have a problem with not finishing my backswing and my hands are very close to my shoulder. I’m actually try to simplify my thought process and game. Any guidance would be appreciated! Thanks and keep up the great work.

This was absolutely eye opening… suggestion please… can you either add as part of or in an immediate video attached the difference if any in the swing with a driver or fairway wood off a tee?? I find at least with myself that I can go work on this and groove the iron compression but then oh no… my driver “feels” gets a little weird and then I find I do the reverse once I get the Driver back on target.. anything to help differentiate the two at the simplest of thoughts? Thank you for your videos!!!

Actually I do have a question. So I understand the concept and am now practicing thiese drill. What I am finding is the twisting of the wrist at the follow threw . I have been strugwith the chicken wing and found to be I am flipping the wrist at impact so I now understand that. But now at follow threw finding it more difficult turning the wrist without looking awkward if that makes sense. Thank you a great video.

these guys are the best on youtube no contest great job

The salad analogy is what did it for me and brought everything together!

So why not have the left foot shift as part of your normal swing? Great important info in this video. Awesome!

Pretty convinced you two are the best and I've watched an embarrassing amount of golf instruction.

very helpful video. I have been doing these drills / similar drills I have seen in your other videos a good amount and my lateral control looks a lot better now. My swing looks very solid when doing a practice swing and I can control my body correctly; however, when I add the ball into the mix I am forced to flip the club early because the face is too open. I have tested closing the face at the top of my backswing and then I can have a good amount of compression, but I don't want to just have a strong grip to fix this issue. A video about how to close the face would be very helpful. I have an idea of how to close it with bowing the left wrist but its hard to get myself to do that naturally and I haven't really seen any good drills for practicing that.

Hi guys, what do you say to the comments on amazon about the divot board, questioning its durability for multiple full swings?

The third part of this video is what separates the pro's from the am's, in my opinion. You cannot overstate the need to have the wrists release while coming into impact as the shoulder comes up. Players need more help in understanding this. You should show us the clubhead speed at the start of the delivery zone and then at impact. The uncocking of the wrists is adding mph at impact. Your thoughts please?

Step drill is one of my go to drills.

Yet another amg video saved to favourites. Is this 90% of the golf swing in under 20 mins? The 42deg open stat is mind blowing, strangely rarely mentioned and surely changes the concept for most ams. You may have done one, but would be interesting to see how the clubface opens/closes to path pro v ams throughout the swing.

Quick question guys. On my practice swings, at the beginning of the delivery phase I see my hands overlapping with my Trail thigh and then at impact they overlap with my lead leg ( nice compression). But the moment I put a ball I see my hands falling behind, 3 to 4 inches behind my trail thigh at the beginning of delivery and scoopy/ centered with my crotch at impact. Do you have a video that covers this?

I added one more move to the left only, roll wrist counter clockwise, and feel arm snap, do this several times , before you hit a ball, it creates a nice draw like action at impact. Your right you have to train arms and hands to release in the down swing, impact position. Before this drill my dead hands would produce an open club face, automatic slice/ fade…

Fantastic! Ryan Palmer's swing looks great in GEARS. This video is very similar to a video I posted on my channel last year - about falling into the front foot and how it's counterintuitive and completely misunderstood my most golfers. They even used the same terms to describe the motion.

Should you get fitted if your swing mechanics are still developing ? I have a sophomore son who is a competitive golfer and he would like to get fitted going into spring / summer golf.

We use GEARS in our lessons almost everyday. Our students love their experience and always come back talking about all the AMG videos they started watching right after.

3:51 would this recenter apply for driver as well?

Do you have any content for seniors because at 73 I can't get the separation (as much as you show) I have lost around 30 yards on my clubs (the woods I can handle but irons are causing me problems as distances are so inconsistent ....7 iron could be 90 yds or 125 and tend to hit 3-4 inches behind.)

In your third drill, I think of stepping on a gas pedal with my front foot. That's the go. By stepping on the gas pedal, my front side is extending, my front hip is moving up and around, and my hands are moving up. As my hands move up, the handle of the club comes with them, which has the necessary consequence of the head of the club going down - the lag is releasing. The harder I step on the ground, the faster the club head goes. Sound correct?

Great video, I want the impact mat but when I go to the link it says buy. here for $119 and when I get there the price is now $129.. ???

Ur the best!

Hey fellas, my coach referred me to your channel . Your content is perfectly aligned to what I'm learning at the moment

Does the lead wrist have to be in some sort of flexion before impact?

When Mike and Shaun talk everybody listen!

Does this conform AJ Bonar’s theory? Love this video. I’m interested in lessons.

Gravity Golf explains the fall. But...what are your thoughts about the very upright arm swing in back swing with a fall over of the arm/club in the transition advocated by David Lee? His arm club transition seems to be an exaggeration of the left arm drill you are showing here.

Without worrying about degrees and such , if i wanna take this to a range and practice it do I just just use my hips rotating more horizontal and the shoulders more vertical

Another video idea, a lot of guys talk about getting width in the backswing but how about keeping width in the downswing. I’m pretty narrow in the downswing, lots of radial on my lead wrist and It causes me to come to in to out and manipulate the club face. Would be cool to see how the pros do It.

Is this the same for driver or is it just for irons?

I love the first drill exactly what my pro is trying to get me to do. GET OFF MY RIGHT SIDE!! What I would love to see a video on is how to not stall the hips at impact.

I notice there are lots of divot boards for under $100 and this board is close to $200. Is this board far superior? Just want to get the right one. Thanks AMG!

where are you guys located,I want to come and get a lesson

How to you release the arms and hands without hooking every short? Thanks

What does your divot board look like after 2 weeks? Mine is all torn up. That said…best thing to improve your divot placement.

This is what most 5 to 15 handicap golfers can't do its so hard, thanks for the drills I will work through the winter on this wish you guys were in the northeast so I could take in person lessons, Thanks for the tips

From baseball career hitting over 3rd basemen’s head how do I to fix chicken wing. I now rotate lower body faster to lang left elbow and arm behind contrary to your faster upper body over stable lower lesson to create speed

I used to have a massive slow motion sway but saved it with a massive slow motion re-centering! But there was so much wasted time and effort i was short but straight.

8:26 - the term; “lightening” the foot to re-center. Is exactly what is taught in skiing to achieve the same purpose. “Pushing” is not correct as you loose balance and not maximize pressure shift 👏👍

I’ve noticed that on the computer models the trail arm looks to be approaching some internal rotation. Maybe just the program but I haven’t seen this with slo mo videos of pros. Am I seeing things wrong? It seems that there is room between the hip and elbow before impact.

yea ima pusher, the falling is tough because of MASSIVE DIVOTS and that angling the spine back through the shot to level it out....i never liked that. ill mess around with it on the range with "the fall".......how much fall?

Are lessons booking fixed on website yet?

I think where the confusion comes in with "taking the hands out of it" is that there is definitely radial and ulnar deviation, flexion and extension going on with both wrists, the force of the swing would make it impossible for there not to be. The question is how much should there be throughout the swing, and if you take the hands out of it by lessening or eliminating pronation and supination, or "twisting the handle", through body rotation? I believe the best ball strikers take out the twist as much as possible.

I would love to see a video that I would call "Post up and Exit Left" ... about how the hands CANNOT continue straight down through impact and down the line. In this 2D video world I see too many of my piers on the range trying desperately to move their hands STRAIGHT through and carry forward down the line. "Post up and Exit Left" would demonstrate how the Fall and ultimate PUSH up through the left side will bring the hands through impact and successfully exit LEFT as the body rotates through.

The hardest thing ive found as a golfer who took it up as an adult, having been reasonably good at sports, is how to keep the arms live without them dominating the backswing/sequencing,so that they fire through the ball at the right time.Ive found ATs SB glide is my magic move But she doesnt agree the arms fire at all! Still with that and your great videos im down to 3 hcp and playing to it, at 60yo. By the way Ive overdone the first two drills so going to try your gentler versions!

How About comparing LPGA Pros to AMs, may be more obtainable for average golfer, or is there not much difference to PGA Pros

I think that’s the first time I’ve heard anyone say you have to “eat the right amount of salad” 😎 Another great video guys!!

09:50

Doing the step through drill and everything is leaking right. Is that a normal tendency?

Weighting and unweighting 💡🙂👍🏻🙏🏻

maybe I missed but what is drill #3? you show GEARS but I see no drill.
