As a PGA Professional for over 34 years, I learned about recentering about 4 years ago from watching Mike and Shaun. Total game changer as my ball striking instantly improved. It's funny as when I was learning the swing as a teenager in the 1970's we were taught to load all of the weight to the back foot on the backswing and then throw the legs on the downswing (like Nicklaus for "power"). I can't tell you how many blocked shots to the right I hit for years as well as a few roofs on the right side of the fairway. Now I teach every student that the swing is approximately 1 second and 1/2 second is used up on the backswing when the club is parallel to the ground (70% weight on back foot at this stage). From there you have a 1/2 second to make impact with the ball. At the top of the swing you have under .25 seconds to make impact (fastest move in ANY SPORT). Every student is taught to recenter at the top by getting at least 50% of their weight back on the front foot at the top of the swing. On the downswing when the club shaft gets to parallel to the ground you should have at least 70% of the weight on the front foot... and then at impact 80-90% of the weight should be on the front foot (and then pushing up for ground force...think Justin Thomas). I tell students that if you really want to know how the swing works to simply watch Athletic Motion Golf on KZfaq. And as mentioned, this recentering tip alone completely changed my ball striking (proved by shooting my lowest round of -7 64 last year in a Pro-Am). I hope to one day meet both Mike and Shaun and tell them thanks for changing my ball striking with this one tip alone.

AMG we’re the first to explain the difference between weight shift and (invisible) pressure shift and how and when to do it. Your relentless work with gears and force plates has changed our understanding of the golf swing and now every other credible instructor on YT has followed - there are still a few left who won’t go to the end of the range in case they fall off but you can’t win ‘em all. Thanks for the info and for sharing it in such an easy to understand format.

Great video. My games been in the doldrums last few years, progressively getting worse. Went to the range today to put this into practice and instantly felt what I’d been missing for so long. My swing had started to feel too mechanical, this put some natural athleticism back into my swing. No other thoughts apart from falling back onto my lead side towards the end of my backswing. Striping the ball with little effort. Thank you.

Even us other instructors really can appreciate how you guys use both GEARS and Tour Swings to show us the big picture stuff of what's going at the elite levels. I use your big picture concepts in my swing all the time as a plus index player, and because I focus on the gear side, I start with the athletic base and build my clubs around that in order to maximize performance. The most important aspect is camera-neutral, and showing top-down and other angles that regular down the line and face on video have difficulty doing. It's like CAD but for golf.

I am not sure if you guys thought the idea of recentering would mean so many different things to so many different people. You guys rock and the patience you show to us novices trying to learn what I think is the hardest thing to do in sports, hit a golf ball straight and far, is greatly appreciated .

Best comprehensive channel for golf . Enough said. Congratulations.🍾

great work!

You guys are fantastic and I can’t wait to meet you guys in person in September. I would really like to get a better understanding of hip, knee and ankle positions through the swing and their movements. As snow skier for many years I relate to lower body movements and positions.

Love the visual of top players having the back angle commonality. I used to stay overly centered on the backswing and since I started employing this angle my swing has improved quite a bit, thanks.

If you’re struggling to feel any of the specifics of the hips in this recentering or any point of the swing I have the solution! !! 2 steps & can be done in either order 1) watch some youtube Salsa dance tutorials or another genre with hip movement and practice till you can feel some sort of natural rhythm and flow of your lower body in sync with the music. Step 2) Do your best to consciously perform small movements with your hips and legs in all directions you can think of. The main being a) hips moving directly lateral left and right, b) forward and backward c) diagonally in importantly in 2 different ways- left or right hip moving forward while opposite hip stays neutral, also moving your left/right hip backward while opposite hip stays in neautral position. These are different! Difference is subtle but you’ll eventually gain the mind muscle awareness. Next and crucial step is to do your best identifying these different small movements and then begin to isolate them from rest of your body for real mastery command of your legs . Start with putting your back against a wall with a relaxed upper torso till you can once again repeatedly command all different these moves without involving your upper torso moving to help you. Next do all these with your legs straight. I’m not sure if this sounds easy or difficult but all I know is I went through the process of differentiating all these movements and it was interesting how I gradually built out the ability to perform and feel them all. The reason I did it was for dancing purposes but the results were METAMORPHIC to my ability to tune into my golf swing, make minor changes and absorb instruction in a way that was impossible beforehand. cAfter you’ve sust out your lower every Both of these will be easier and you’ll get more

I’ll go ahead and assume Shaun and Mike have seen most if not all of Bobby Jones lessons. Whether they have or not, The GREAT Bobby Jones’s described Re-Centering as the necessity of being perfectly In Balance when preparing to hit. I just think it’s very cool to see a different description to the same concept! Balance is being in the right location at the right time!

The masters of KZfaq golf instruction explaining their signature phrase for the essential lower-body movement! 👊👊 Love the concept of shift-turn and then shift-turn. That’s the body movement for the golf swing! Great video, men! Hope to see more KZfaq videos from the two of you. Don’t be strangers!

FINALLY YOU UPLOADEDDDDDDDDD

More on Robert Rock swing please it’s one of the best.

Thanks guys, another great video!

Absolutely fantastic and easy to understand explanation 💯💯

More gold! Thank you, guys, so much

Trying to understand this recentreing and I think this is most helpful. I would really like to know how to incorporate this with the downswing hopefully with slow motion. Many thanks. 😂

Thanks for the new video! It's just what I needed too, as this re centering move has been more difficult to grasp than I expected nearly three years ago when I first watched your videos. Seems simple enough, which makes me wonder if tour pros/top amateurs are even aware they do this recentering? I mean nobody ever mentioned this before until lately. Bryson DeChambeu has brought it up a few times. So the spine angle is tilted slightly away from the target...even though they are still in lead side bend close to impact as stated in another video. Man, I've got some work to do now! Keep it comin'!

Hey guys love your work - quick one on the graphics at 37 secs - spelling mistake - it should be ‘quite’ right, rather than ‘quiet’ right

Yesss!!! We get a new video!!!

Really great video guys. Great simple explanation and drills. Got to practice this without a club then when you add a club go slowly

Awesome info guys!!!!! 👏

Do u have a video of the completion of the swing? How weight on front leg at impact and where has the weight bin transferred to, ball of the foot etc?

This is great! I have a question. It looks like on video some guys move the chest/body laterally before the club head moves. Is this common in good golfers or am I incorrect about that?

Excellent content and explanation!

I appreciate the detail and explanation of what’s happening and what needs to happen. My issue is how do I cause that movement naturally? If I think of the detail given I’m focused on manufacturing the result vs the cause of the result.

Is this also done with the driver?

I like that chair drill. Especially the one on the backswing. Curious If you were to put the through swing chair so the left hip barely touches it on the down and through swing; how far from the left hip would the chair need to be. ?

Great job, guys. Per usual. 👍🏻

Sort of looks like the motion I would have in mind if you wanted to throw a frisbee low and far with the trail arm

What other athletic motion would you say is most similar to the re-centering that you describe? Would it be throwing a ball? Also, I feel this move when I do “The One Drill That Every Golfer Needs,” or at least I think I do. That drill seems to automatically produce what you are talking about in this last video. Am I on the right track with my ideas, or am I likely to fall off the cliff, LOL? Thanks.

Guys, great video. What does the head do during this Thanks!

Would you agree Scheffler has more of a bounce (early) recenter? it looks like it is starting to happen around P2

Bryson just released a video with The Open on "sway gap" which is exactly the "cheerleader" thing you're talking about. But he's saying when he's swinging good he has it.

Once I get recentered how do I best move the hips to achieve separation from the torso?

is there such a thing as too far recentered forward?

I find that I am easily a 1/2 club longer if I have my back to the target with a little dwell there with the smallest fall back to center. It just seems to make the downswing unrushed & effortless ...but with plenty of speed / distance.

Ive been noticing my chest is out racing my recentering is the best way i think i can explain it where im opeing my shoulders way to fast, probably at the same rate as my hips donyou have any vids you can link to for that??

‘…float back towards the middle…’ could also be ‘…fall back towards the middle…’ ? Rory and some others appear to drop at an angle in the start of the downswing, so their momentum appears to use gravity to add power to the downswing. Is that correct or an optical illusion?

We want to turn "into" the trail leg right? So the trail hip gets some internal rotation? Seen Dana talk about the back swing being like throwing the club down the target line away from the target with the trail leg working as a break that stops the motion and gets the recentering started.

Good Videos , relate with your videos on tag of the shirt could change your game

I’ve heard from a few teachers that how quickly you recenter is not something you try to time but it is a function of how aggressive your backswing is. So more peaceful backswings would have later recentering. Agree?

Love ya but it seems to me if you don't stop the vid at the end of Your "recentering" then what I would see is a continuous movement to the lead side rather that a "recentering" and then a move to the lead side. What am I missing?

Seems like part of the downswing weight shift.

What happens next? How much weight on front foot at impact? How much hips open? How far has ur chest moved forward, etc? I can't find the exact video in the many that u have that explains this. Could u send me the link to the proper video? Thx

I can name 3 well known golf instructors that basically take your stuff and repackage it. The good one, actually admits to doing that. In fact, that's how I found you guys.

Wow, is this the first AMG video without AMG hats?

Hi guys, I am a Scratch golfer. I don't like to be a golf master. But at the same time I would like to perform as a data analyst with the purpose of offering products that can improve the performance of golfers. I am currently in Italy, living in Italy, being Italian. And I just opened a golf course. I would like to understand how, what figure I can represent in order to become a coach that improves golf globally and not biomechanically. Could you please help me? I just want to know if already exists this kind of figure in the world and what's called. Thanks so much for your contents. Very true value here im this channel ❤

Robert Rock - best hair in golf.

Nice Pants!!

You spend to much time talking about what not to do. Tell us what to do.
