Great to have instructions like this, for golfers who have golfing abilities but are looking to improve.

I have just started to watch your channel and I am very impressed with the way you explain the different way's to move the body. Been playing golf for 14 years and I have never seen anything so well done.....

Power components, accuracy components--- don't forget precision components. Precision is fundamentally the holy grail of golf. Great content by the way... amazing.

You deserve to be up there in subscribers as Crossfield.

Russell - I cannot get enough of the back catalogue ~ loads of missing links that I have struggled with ~ keep up the great work 👍👍👍

I kicked butt over the weekend, I shifted my weight (being right-handed) on the way back I would say to myself “right” and on the way back I would say “left” and my shift was on the money. Then I hinged my right hand facing more towards the ground, hitting straight with power. Knocked off 6 strokes and now I look forward to more trying to groove the two maneuvers, thank you so much.

We definitely see tour pros using power moves off the the tee with a driver, and then dial it back on approach shots.

Where have you been all my life! not long now until you explode to Crossfield level. The fact that everything makes sense is a real testament to the levels of thought you've put into delivering the information. Thanks

I believe that you have answered my question asked in the "Improve Your Irons Instantly With This Move". Great review of the Power vs. Accuracy golf swing. I played a awful lot of Baseball as a child and young adult. I was a power hitter and could easily hit the ball to either side into the gap, or over the fences more than a few times. I was also a switch hitter and was equally well versed at tennis and racket ball. So you can imagine way I hold the club in a solid, strong right handed grip. And would naturally develop a beautiful hook, which quite frankly is a home run that just clears the fence heading out of bounds. Unfortunately, prior golf swing lessons always focused on weakening my grip, eliminating my drive and roll. They actually not only encouraged, but created drills that I would practice for hours, that simply taught slide, early extend, flip, and roll the club face to generate power and a picture perfect golf swing. Thank God, finally you are preaching, drive and hold. A Baseball swing front leg plant, drive the hips and crush the ball. No slide. No flip. No roll. No casting. Yes casting, over the top and swinging across the swing plane outside to in, as a treatment and cure for a hook. Probably because of Baseball I never had a problem slicing the ball. Likewise even when I could not break 100 I could block the ball down the fairway farther than most of my playing companions. After all these lessons. After hours of slow motion drills. When ever I was turning up the speed, and trying to swing the club freely, It was impossible to hit the target. These old flip and roll techniques always lacked any power or accuracy. And worse of all without hours and hours of practice, no one could ever maintain any solid progress with a timing based swing approach. How can you swing a golf club 100 mph, rotate the club face 20 mph and ever expect to hit any fairway or Green. Even the resort style, pleasure courses I routinely play. But right here in 12 minutes and 4 seconds you took all the mystery out of the golf swing. Cleared the air. Should several options, beginning to end, different body positions, expected results and Personal preferences and limitations. One Video. Complete golf swing. View it. Pause. Practice. Repeat. Now go have fun playing golf. Practice chipping and putting. Become a Scratch golfer from 6000 yards, which is the distance most amateurs compete. And enjoy the company of your best friends. Simple. Easy. No smoke and mirrors. No secret moves. No gimmicks. If you happen to have a back, hip, knee or shoulder injury and need to limit your swing. By all means, go right ahead and get it done. Just look at Tiger, he's one giant bandaid and enjoying some of the best swings of his entire career. We can not Express our gratitude in words. Seriously. Thank you.

Yes. I remembered what you are talking about. .my drives are getting there. . Keep up the spirit. . I am going back to the driving range. .to seal it up

I have to come sometime for Some lessons but I live in the Netherlands , I have to plan that.

Great instructional skills, you make it very easy to understand.

Well done!!

Great video AGAIN russ 👌

Enjoy your tutorials as always. Took your weight shift suggestion to heart, whenever I feel like I get good pressure in my right heel during backswing I find that I strike the ball well. However, I find my distance lacking. With the PXG Gen 1 P series 7 iron I’m only able to get a max distance of 150 with a range ball. I watched your PXG review and you were ripping it 170+...how

Fantastic description

First time Ive seen this explanation of concept. Makes good sense. Have just recently just started practising the power swing using body. Couldn't never do prior until I worked out posture , swingplane angle and full hinging of hand is all vital otherwise releasing to soon if these not done and get massive slice results.

Power swing with driver and accuracy swing with the rest of the bag seems like a good plan to me?

Hello Russell, enjoying your instructional videos. Have had many lessons over the years and l only wish l would have had lesson's explained as good as you do. I also watch your club reviews and so would it be possible to carry out a Yonex iron review. Regards Stephen

I recently bought one of those liveview cameras (I have no connection to the company). I immediately determined how "under the plane" I was on the downswing. For days I tried to get my downswing on plane using my upper body - nothing worked. I then left my upper body to react to what the lower body was doing. That's what took me to your channel - all the stuff on hips and load. Eureka - if you get the lower body moves right, your club falls on the shaft or elbow plane line without manipulating your arms. If you have a video on this topic - please let me know.

Russell being following u this while & love the instruction, simple & easy but in the irons i have grest diffuculty in hip rotation to transfer the weight from right to left. Had a hip op. 2 years ago & flexibility is poor enough. Right hip is not great either, in your opinion, would it be a reason for lack of rotation in the down swing? I always seem to get somewhat stuck on my right side . With the driver it seems a little easier...... i dunno, watching the videos it looks so easy, im an 8 handicapper & struggling with this. Thanking you for your time Mark

I could understand why I could push one dead right then two balls later hit one 280 with a boring nice draw. My clubhead was open eventhough I was rotating through the ball.

I could use a video showing techniques for us "old" golfers. Thus, we started in a late age and can not twist our body like this 😄

I found the answer in one of your other videos

I really don't get why this guy only has 15k subscribers. I really don't.

Russell love your explanations! Could it be that keeping a very very relaxed upper body and arms will cause the right elbow to naturally tuck into the right hip and produce a power golf swing?

Is consistency the same for both power or accuracy? I am accurate with power and accuracy but can more easily loose the “on plane component ( power equals macho).

I'm intrigued with trying to bow the left wrist whilst rotating it at impact, how does this fit into the power vs accuracy swing?

on the elbow video. Does the right elbow drop straight down outside the right ankle on the downswing. I hit balls at the range and I got more accuracy with a nice long boring draw. I pushed 5-10 balls out of 100. I seemed to hit better when my left shoulder raised to give my arms room to move under on more shallowed plane. My question is where does my right elbow drop in theory on the downswing. Your videos rock

Just in general when swing down with the driver when I am rotating hips and shoulders. What does the plane look like for the shoulders as they rotate up and around.

When struggling with fat shots is starting the swing with more weight distribution on lead leg a good way to combat this then shift more centered instead of fully shifting into the right heel. I'm struggling with this even with short chip shots around the green.

Hi Russell Is a power move related to a draw then and an accuracy move related therefore to a fade movement(as you show in your draw verses fade video) or is it the release of the hands that is the major differance to shaping shots and you choose a draw or fade with or without a separation move depending on what you want (distance or accuracy)? This Michael

Excellent video and a lot to think about. But is there really a "perfect" swing for anybody?

How about a right leg below the knee amputee

What is your view of the golf swing as taught by the late Manuel de la Torre?

Hey Russell Really like your instructions. I recently came across video instruction called Channel Lock( 1atomic golf) that is complete different golf swing. Would you be willing to research and try it and then give your opinion? Pros and cons. Thanks in advance.

Aren't you describing a two plane swing when you talk about dropping the arms at the same time of the weight shift? So for more power use more one plane? I'm confused....

I keep leaving my arm behind as I've been rotating to much

Good video, i gave you a thumbs up, slow down a little, you're out of breath or pushed for time. Please next time rake the leaves in the area or tell whoever to let you make a video on the course and not in the rough or in an out-of-bounds area.

I should have added " update explanation of ultimate channel lock"

Why can't someone just use a stronger grip instead of having to flex the left wrist to close the clubface?

Slow down
