⛽🔥 *Milo’s Favorite Drill to COMPRESS the Golf Ball: milolinesgolf.com/compress

I Gotta say I've watched hundreds of golf video I mean hundreds and this video you've shot is probably the best explanation of a proper golf swing I've seen ,,, no bullsh""""" absolutely awesome !!! Should be in the Training guide for beginner golfers ,,, iam no pro an 18 handycap and a picker of the ball full administion!!! That said iam a pretty smart guy and that was perfect ,,,,ty soooo much for what you taped ,,, going to help alot of golfer out there !!! Top of my watch list !!!! Ty again a year later lol.lol please be safe!!!!

Best description I’ve seen wish I’d seen it years ago! Well done👍

Makes sense, especially if you have a camera position from your eye position. That angle helps clarify everything, if you could do a video like that (if you haven't already)

Excellent video! Mucho good stuff in this one - 🤔🙏 thank you for the help.

Milo is easily the best KZfaq golf coach AND anyone else is not even close

This explanation made me understand. Especially the part where you talk about how far the arms travel and the role of the pivot in this. Thank you Milo!

After many years of stumbling thru golf videos, you explain or maybe I understand the relatively short distance the arms travel. Because I play a lot, daily 9 holes my scoring is in the low 40’s often high 30’s. Long time over the top player looking forward to utilizing body motion to improve swing. Your explanations are excellent keep it up and thank you!

Great explanation and Champ is a good example to see the hands and arms disappear behind his body as the clubhead moves out and down the line which makes you feel once you get this you can swing faster into the ball knowing the sequencing works cheers GM

You’re the man nice breakdown

I’ve been following Milo’s videos and it’s pretty cool how he seems to cover all the problems people might run into.

Because I was a bad slicer, I had to feel like I was swingbout to the right, but I can see now that its the clubhead that does that, not my hands . Thanks Milo

Been thinking about this all wrong. Thanks for this!

I have watched this video several times, and each viewing clarifies what you are conveying a little bit more than the previous. I will keep watching and I hope you keep teaching. Please be patient and explain things in different ways because i am a slow learner and frequently don't understand the first time something is explained.

What an awesome teacher. TU!

Milo, In July at age 67 I developed a herniated lumbar disk, thought my golfing days were over. Found you by searching causes for bad backs. You taught me a better swing without pain. This week I’m playing Vegas, mesquite and st George implementing the Milo way. Thanks, the pinched nerve.

Very eye opening how little the arms move. Best description on the web! Thank you sir. This is miraculous and no other instructor has said this. Is this same with driver?

I have studied many great swingers of the golf club. I think your approach to the swing is the most in line with applied physical movement.

Quite the paradigm shift going from an over-the-top swing due to sequencing issues to better sequencing and trying to keep the hands from going left due to years of bad habits. I spent several months working on a proper sequence in the golf swing, then learned what it feels like for the hands to move left at the bottom due to body rotation. This is a great video that pulls all of these thoughts together for me. Well done, Milo!

Thanks Milo. Best instructional videos I have found on the 'net. I am now drawing the ball for the first time. For me, a video on a putting routine would be great. Drive for show, putt for dough! Ewan, New Zealand.

I think you’re an excellent coach / instructor. I love the way you simplify the process of swinging - it just clicks so quickly for me! I’ve watched soo many utube videos on golf and your approach is the best I’ve seen. I also like the short length of the videos - clear, concise and to the point , no lengthy explanations 👍🏼 As far as more content I’d appreciate bunker shots, different lies and elevations required. Thank you 🙏🏽

Very clear explanation. I’ve been struggling with this concept. You made it understandable. Thanks!

If I could I would subscribe repeatedly.

Really helpful lessons you put out!

Genius that's 2 added too playlist buddy really appreciate videos and been helping me a lot

Excellent explanation!

Oldie but a goodie

Love the intro music!

Great 👍🏻

Thanks Milo, I really appreciate your content. I‘m always struggling with over the top move, so I try hard to correct this by moving the right shoulder - and the hands! - down not foreward in beginning of the downswing to avoid by all costs this crossing the target line with the club before impact. but now I think that‘s wrong, too. The hands MUST come down FOREWARD on the path to impact while keeping the right shoulder more or less back, otherwise I have this too much in to out swingpath, the contrary of OTT. The hands alone don‘t cause this crossing, if right shoulder movement is reasonably correct. Please correct me, if I‘m wrong again with this comprehension.

Same Mike Austin concept, great!

please expound on how you set your hands for face angle control on your transition into the downswing because the drill and the actual swing looks and feels different to my eye, thanks very much. Awesome ideas you are sharing here, really helps me lots!!!

Great I've been wanting to know how to release the club

Another content thought. Might be interesting to get your take on the forces that the club shaft feels and when. I don’t know if anyone has hooked up sensors to the club, but I think there’s some confusion about what force is applied to the club, and which are created naturally and which are created by muscle patterns. -JS

yeah, good video. I really need to work on that.

Spot on drill! Thanks.

Brilliant material Milo! What I (and I suspect many others would also really appreciate) would love to see is a demo of a comparison (indicating swing speeds) between higher handicap golfers (eg 18 or so) throwing club at the ball as hard and fast as they can; and the proper swing back to ball. Thanks Regards Ian Inverness Scotland

Thanks Milo, great content very useful. I'm having trouble with constant coming over the top. I think it may be from my baseball background. Any feedback drills I can do to prevent coming over the top and also my tendency to flip instead of compressing golf ball. Thanks!

Milo- I would like to see a video with you working on hand path with a student to see what drills you use to change how the hand move. That would be great!

One topic would be high approach PITCHING (not chipping) shots from 30 to 80 yards particularly when you want to use sand or lobwedges. I think this is so important for the golf course once we approach green from these distances. What is the best method ? (some say only upper body motion, some say arm motion, some say raise up, some wait until the ball goes out, some say not hing up, some say narrow arc, others wider arc)...I think a video on this topic would help anyone. Thank you.

Good one Milo. Nice clarification. Now that I’m lagging the club better and leaning the shaft for compression, I’m having some trouble with chipping/pitching, and using the bounce. Especially from bad lies. I know you have some videos on this. I’d just like a little more detail on the similarities and differences in the full swing and short game swing. Also using the bounce vs leaning the shaft for compression. Thanks! Keep em’ coming. 😀🏌️

excelent content !!!

Another thing I don’t see anyone talk about is trail arm fold in the full swing. How the folding of the trail arm effects plane, wrist conditions, length of backswing, etc... Thanks!

Hello Milo Thanks for all the help Can you cover set up? Especially feet knees hips and they affect rotation

Would like more content on raising the handle through impact and the follow through with the drver

I try this and sometime ball straight to the left, I feel I have a shut face at the impact, and I feel hand path around me, kinds of low and left. but gain more distance.

Thanks Milo. I enjoy your focus on the pivot and body rotation, with a responsive and pivot-driven left arm. I would enjoy more on how to fix the problem of tipping and the over the top swing. I would like more on how to get the chest properly open at impact. I would like a video on how to solve the problem of hanging back and how to achieve a full and balanced follow-through position. I would like more real-time lesson videos involving amateurs and pros. I would like to know your favorite swing drills.

Great video! Any drills you could recommend to get hands working left? I tend keep pushing my hands out and flipping the club.

That makes sense now when you turn fast the club goes faster. Eye opening. Light bulb came on. Thankful

2:35 For me, this small amount of downward with the arms comes automatically when you squat and push the left hip back. Your swing should be the standard for teaching golf.

One more content idea for your consideration. I think it would be extremely helpful to have a video that packages all of your favorite drills into something we could take to the range for an effective practice session. On the days I’m not playing, I like to go work on my game but I know I could use this time more effectively. Maybe separate videos on short game, putting, and your thoughts on a solid warm up routine before a round of golf. As always, I really, really like your live lesson drills. I also like to hear your analysis of pga players. Maybe a video with some thoughts on what in the world is going on with Spieth’s Driver. Thanks, Milo.

Thanks for posting these. Content ideas: putting, bunkers, flop shot, improving compression on the ball, best training aids, best drills. Also, I would like to see more real lessons, especially with average golfers. Please keep up the great work.

Hello Milo really good instructions. I have a goal for this winter season and that is to learn to hit my approach shots (from 150-100 yards) with a fade at it’s end. We have pretty hard and fast greens and I want to give the ball a chance to stay on the green. I would be very grateful if you could do something on this subject. Regards Olle

1 frame from p6 to impact.. thats how efficient Cam champ is. insane!

Milo- I had another content idea that I think your audience would enjoy. The idea is to have a weekly video in which you select one swing flaw that you encountered in the past week and show how you fixed it. Just a thought.

Love the channel, more please.

Hello Milo.. definitely some tips and drills with the driver, my nemesis. Keep up your great videos. I may need another online lesson though just on driver. Thank you.

excellent, great explanations. Carry on….

I have the opposite problem. My body out races my arms and I get stuck. When I film my swing, my practice swing looks perfect but once the ball's there my swing completely changes. How can I get over that?

Milo, I know you have had a video on how to stop shanking. I would like to see a video on hitting off the other side of the club face. I have a horrible habit of hitting off the toe. Even in slow motion, with doing the proper pivot I still find a way to clank it off the toe.

Hello Milo. I believe all of us students of the game suffer from one significant misconception. We seek instruction, feedback, tips, and all sorts of information that we can potentially use to improve. However, in carefully studying film going as far back as a 1930s in the late great Bobby Jones, it appears that the answers lie within each player and not outside of the player i.e. a coach a tip KZfaq etc. Can you please address this to your viewers, because I believe you come very close to being the most concise, cogent, streamlined instructor that I have come across on the World Wide Web. Essentially, I am asking for your advice on how to empower each individual to work from their respective unique capabilities and struggles, to improve. To somewhat poorly paraphrase the late John Jacobs, how do we adjust what we do in striking the ball by observing what the ball does and what the ball teaches us about our successes and failures. Thanks so much for allowing me to be itinerant and long-winded

Good video Milo. A few quick related questions based on video. Would you say from what you described, that from the top of backswing that the hands are passive and are brought down to let's say P6 simply with the pivot/transition? Or is there some arm/grip lowering action also going on? This is a critical point for me. Secondly, you talk about "lowering, which you talked about in another video". Which video are you relating to? And isn't the latest thinking that hands reach their low point around right thigh in downswing and then come up and around left? Lastly, there are DLT views of PGA golfers, near impact, that frequently show a space or significant light between left arm and right arm, maybe ? left arm "higher" than right arm (with right elbow still bent). What is significance of this "space"? Is that true impact, left arm higher? left arm/right arm closed? Hope you understand this question. Thanks

Enjoyed the lesson . Would love to have views from a camera above your head to see handpath v club head path from above .

Great instructional videos!. I find the biggest challenge is to maintain passive arms in the downswing with my lower body being the engine of the swing. Difficult habit to break, as the upper body generally has muscle tension at address or in the backswing. Focusing on the core and breathing helps. What drill you recommend?

Milo ,does this apply to the driver. Thanks

Milo to follow up on your video would I be correct to start by at address as you showed with hands ahead than turn or pivot and hit short shots using body turn only? Thanks

I would be interested in tips on keeping eyes on the ball, I’m feel like I can’t keep my eyes on the ball throughout the swing, thanks

can you address the diffrence between your swing and Mike Malaska that you refrence as your mentor. It seem you are using forearm rotation and Mike uses shoulder rotaion.

Milo, What would you think about practicing thinking only about feeling the correct hand path and just letting the club face do whatever it wants to do? JS

Hi! Great channel. How does the body move in the golfswing?

milo, my topic of choice would be hitting irons off the turf. i hit a lot of fat and some times thin shots, and have trouble getting the swing to bottom out in front of the ball. if i always set up with the club grounded at the bottom of of the ball i guess that's where i hit first the ground. should i be aiming the bottom of the club differently? help!!!

In my 30's I was scratch. Mike Bender built my swing. Now I'm 65 and have a bad back and bad left hip. My game and swing have fallen apart. Can you suggest how to come up with a shorter easier swing for a senior? Great video!

Can we talk about the differences (if any) in a short pitch, 20 yards, and a longer pitch 80 yards. I hear some claiming its the same swing and some saying it is a much different swing. Thanks.

Hello Milo, a little confused on the video - around 4:15 in the video the club appears to “release”....how does the release and recent videos on “towing” the club relate? Thx

Could you please talk about the proper coiling into the right leg.

Love the tips in this video. During my last round, I made some of the smoothest iron swings ever!

Good teacher a lot like Mike Malaska

If the hands and arm are out and in front of the body on the downswing, what is Justin Rose trying to accomplish with his pre shot drill before he hits. The one were he drags his left arm down his chest and keeps his hands back by his right side

Could you explain taking the butt end of the club to the ball from the top of the backswing? A friend told me to try that but it seems to me that would cause me to swing too far right.

From Palm Springs area. Used to be a +3 back in college. Now I’m a 10. I struggle with pulling my arms straight down and the club gets really steep and fight the tiger block and occasional snap hook. No matter how hard i try, i can never seem to shallow the club. What do you recommend for shallowing the club?

Hi Milo, I think I just had an "AHA" moment with your examplification of how little the arms travel before contact. I believe my problem definitely is that I use to much arms and to little lower body. My impact position becomes much to square to the target line with my arms coming from the outside in. So to control the ball-flight, I slow my swing down and feel that I have no power (Driver carry between 190-205 metres). Any recommendations or any videos where you show how to work on that "passive arms" feel? Thank you for sharing from Denmark.

Omg I have been bringing my arms all the way down

Super!

I am 63 and play off 1 but have never really felt like I compress the ball properly (I do not take a divot) any suggestions?

When I practice this I end up with weak shots with lots of spin, how do I make solid contact?

How about what the lat play’s in the swing?

Regarding your comment @1:33... what about longer hitters leads you to recommend that they hit a cut over a draw? Great video by the way. Thanks!

You may not need more content ideas, but here’s another. It is very difficult, when playing in competition, to keep a good tempo. I know that if I let my arms be free of tension, I hit the ball pretty good, but under pressure, it’s so easy to get quick and let the old tendencies take over and shorten the backswing and yank on the club. So, maybe a video on any tricks you use when you are playing in a high pressure situation.

I do not turn well in my golf swing. My hips are barely open at impact and my shoulders square. Every time I try to turn in my swing, I hit it in the heel or cold shank it. Would it help me to feel like I’m swinging in to out while turning, almost a v like movement, body turning left and club going away to the right? Would that be a good feel for me?

Hi Milo been watching your videos but how do you hit a draw 👍🏌🏿‍♂️

Great work. I can't seem to keep my right arm from straightening just before impact. Probably why I hit little inside out flares in baseball. I know you and Malaska were both baseball guys

What are your thoughts on the Backswing?

Sorry one more Milo, my swing is consistently stuck under (which would go some to explaining my blocks). Question is how do you rotate and let the club follow whilst keeping the clubhead on or above the plane. I would love to hit a cut. I know DJ swings it like you describe but how does he manage to hit his consistent cut?

Hi Milo, great work! I was looking forward to your next video thank you. I do intend to send in a video for you go review soon but i have not been able to get it filmed from the correct angles. I have had some of the best shots i have hit since trying to implement your ideas. I play Links golf however and the odd massive hook or block/slice has been deadly to the round. I fully realise that it is by not executing the fundamentals that you teach. Until i send my video in i have a few question marks. How do you keep the club closed on the way down? You have mentioned its by holding a structure in the right arm and hand in combination with the strong grip but you also mentioned that your arms should be like noodles. The question is how to avoid the right miss (block or block slice) If i may ask another couple of questions also. I feel sick looking at videos of myself because my right arm is straight at impact and i can see that it is necessary as its too far from the ground to remain bent. I wondered if you could describe how the rib cage bends and turns in the backswing and downswing to remain close enough to the ground for the right arm to stay bent? The last question was could you make a video on how the drive hold release is achieved. I know you have done a video already describing this but i was wondering if describe what motivates the left hand to be forward and the right hand also? Is it the fling off the chest? Is the right arm supporting (trying not to impede) the acceleration of the left arm? I first hear about the drive hold release reading Kelvin Myahira’s articles but i have never seen a how to anywhere on the net. I see a lot of Robert Garrigus in your swing and his is one i have always admired so your content is very interesting to me. Great work Thanks

Transition and coming over top

Milo: could you comment on the hand path for short chips and pitches?

Hey Milo, whats are some causes of fat shots? I seem to get to my left side, but still get fat deep divots sometimes.. any thoughts?

My hands work up and backwards could this be why I steepen the shaft?

If this bloke put out a video lesson on how to remove prickles from a pussycat's fur coat, I think we would all be better golfers, HE'S THAT GOOD.
