ngl im surprised you don't have more views because you're the only golf coach on KZfaq that makes it simple and I feel like if you practice what you preach then it really does work because my swing was all arms and no rotation but now i feel like i have more power and i don't have to kill the ball and my body doesn't hurt as much after, I appreciate all of the videos you put out, I think ive watched almost every one and they're all helpful and explain clearly what to do.

Russell, Hats off to you young man! YOU are a student of the game, and your approach to teaching is transparent, open, and honest. For the love of the game you do what you do. I never feel like I’m being sold something. Keep it up!

To be fair there's plenty of people who can describe in detail how the golf swing works ,yet to do it with a clear understandable ease like you do there is only a handful. Amazing and very well done!!

This is video is AWESOME! I happen to be a fairly good ball striker and when practicing at the range I frequently get asked for swing advice. I always tell them that I can give them a few tips but to really understand the golf swing you need to understand the relationships between path and face angle and how those change and relate to a weak or strong grip and a steeper or falter swing plane .(sounds complicated but once the concepts are understood people can build a swing that best works for THEM.) They inevitably ask if there is a KZfaq video I could recommend and I usually say that you need to be careful with just watching random golf instruction videos because it's hard for a beginner to know what type of swing the instructor is giving tips about. That said, I now have a video to recommend and start them on the right path. Great job man!

Finally I understand how to find my normal grip/swing. Been doing everything wrong! On my way to the range..thanks.

Well done. Its nice to know that some teachers (like you) understand that impact is the only destination in the golf swing. How we get there varies from player to player, in part because of skill, in part bio-metric differences.

Having found you on utube l now understand more about the mechanics of the golf swing and how it relates to my body and natural swing. Like other people have commentated l find your way of explaining and demonstrating excellent and informative.

Love the videos Russ, clear and straight forward with no unnecessary jargon so understandable for thickos like me. All the videos link together in a consistent way. Thank you very much.

Many things I didn't know about the grip and the release. Thanks for giving me some understanding of how they work.

So glad to hear that I can elevate the left arm and that the right arm plays a support role (result: I am making a more confident tension free shoulder turn now), after loading the right glute,, I immediately let my left lat control the unweighted left arm at the top during my weight-shift (which I knew), but what I got from this video is that the club drops and shallows because my feel from the top is I am powering the right side by Un-weighting the bent right arm, by moving it solely by an externally rotating shoulder. That was the elusive feel that I can now experience. Its a nice gravity drop on the right side of things. Thanks!

Thanks . This is very very good tips. Enlightening that there are indeed more than one ideal plane.

I loved your breakdown of the strong and weak grip. I went from a 98 to an 86 when I switched to a strong grip between rounds. Also, went higher with the lead arm. Your detail is impeccable sir! Cheers!

You are the most honest golf instructor. I agree with you that we should find our natural swing not what other instructors tell us to do. The built and physical ability will always determine the most suitable swing type of a golfer and that includes proper wrist cock, takeaway, downswing and finish. We are all different both physically and mentally so we should practice what is natural and comfortable for the body. Tnx.

One of the best single golf videos ever posted on KZfaq Russell. I wish I'd have seen it 10 years ago before I started messing with all the elements of my swing that other instructors have tried to change!

I dont know if its his calm voice or what. He is the best video teacher Ive watched and watch hours of golf videos per week

I love the way that you explain things in terms of the biomechanics. It makes things really clear. Great stuff.

I can now see how a single tip in isolation could be the worst advice a given golfer can receive. Understanding how something like the grip affects the positions in the rest of the swing is very valuable. It’s nice to know I have options and can work with movements that are comfortable for me. A bit reminiscent of The Golfing Machine, but in practical, easy to understand terms.

Russell, brilliant, how refreshing to see an instructional video that doesn't restrict itself the generic swing process as you say everyone is different, I've been fighting a wrist cup for years maybe its time to rethink.

May have to rewatch this a couple of times. Well done

thanks so much for teaching us what to look for, based on our grip, in our swing...always thought there was only the "orthodox" style. Great lesson.

Wow, what a flawless video. Very good to understand and pretty helpful to improve the individual golf swing. Thanks again, Russell!

That was phenomenal. Learned so much in just a few minutes. Just explaining the detail makes things click compared to guys just saying this is on plane, etc. Thank you very much!! 👍

That makes a change instead of “wrongs and rights” good video 👍🏻

Yes need to find it,adopted most over the years but they come good and fizzle out in time.At the moment am practicing downswing keeping the handle pointing at my left groin but now I don't push the ball right anymore but am fighting a hook with driver and iron left slightly both unexpected.Like your views and the wife lessons.

That really is helpful. My kid and I watched together and he's already learning! Thx!

Brother man. That was one of the best videos I've seen. You were in the zone that day

Thanks for this! I was always so worried about my wrist angle at the top of the backswing. It's good to know that as long as the face and forearm are matching, that it's ok if the wrist isn't flat or bowed.

Well done! Like the idea that there are different ways to swing a club yet achieve the same results.

Only need one word describe- Genius.

Just discovered your channel. This stuff is pure gold! As an absolute golf education “junkie”, I am so pumped to get in to the rest of your content. Well done!!

Excellent articulation of what's actually important to get a golf swing that works. Feel more confident that I can improve my game having just found you on uTube Russell. Many thanks!

Thanks Russel i am start getting the picture to work on

..genius coach, just brilliant, how lucky we are really, thank you Russell I hope you are doing well

This is an extremely informative video! I wish I could visit the UK (I live in the US) and take lessons in person! I am experimenting with videoing my swing to get a better idea of what I am actually doing in relation to the key points you have included here.

I struggle with so many things mentioned and described in this video. Wrist angles are squirly and I’m laid off at the top, to think my grip my be a direct cause of my position at the top is something I never thought of, in fact, I kept strengthening my grip in a attempt to get more vertical at the top. Will work on this, thanks

Brilliant detailed summary of the golf swing. Well done Russell.

Russell, I've watched several of your lessons and with practice they are really helping to improve my swing. I'm going to video my swing and send it to you soon. Maybe you can point out some things to improve on. Thanks again.

This is really helpful 👏

ANOTHER GREAT ONE RUSSELL!! Back swing position is crucial.

A lot of great stuff here. Would be one to watch multiple times...

Another great explanation, great video just love them 👍

I subscribed to your channel after I viewed this video. Very well done and it answered many questions that I had along with enlightening me on new ideas with my golf swing. If I lived across the pond I would certainly take lessons from you. I look forward to viewing more of your videos. Thanks!!

I like this guy because he’s not full of crap like many KZfaq golf teachers who can literally ruin your game.

Loving your videos. A lot of detail well explained.

I'd like to hear a video about what the trail arm does/goes in both back and down swings and what is the "slot?" Thanks.

Great videos, so much information and things to learn from..Thank you!!

Very interested in this series. I'm just coming back to golf after a 15 year hiatus and I'm having some difficulty finding my swing - something consistent and repeatable. My bio-mechanics are nothing like they were 15 years ago. Bad back and a short right leg are two issues that make consistency harder than it used to be. Early extension is now a recurring problem as well.

This is a GREAT video!!

Needed you 20yrs ago (instruction that is) Instructors rarely teach this....

You do some really great videos, but I must say, this one will completely confuse most golfers. Don’t get too technical and confuse us anymore than we all ready are. How about a lesson on grip pressure all the way through the swing! Keep it simple. I own a golf course and grip pressure for the older golfer, which is about 75% of all the golfers playing nowadays, is the one thing NO ONE teaches. It will free up the swing for the average and older golfer. Keep up with the great work and hope you will video a grip pressure video some time.

another well presented session with great content , thanks

Thanks for the acknowledgement of #leftygolfers! There are a lot of us! Great explanation/content as always!

Excelente recomendaciones. Gracias!

I just emailed you about strong release! The KZfaq gods answered my question.

Thanks

I would like further information on the left thumb to the left forearm. I think you called it ulnar deviation.. I need to understand that fully

People always mistook Nicklaus for having a chicken-wing in his backswing, but it just appeared that because he swung his left arm very high, as you mentioned. I've tried to explain this to many people, but they don't seem to get it.

Good stuff. I could hear you, for once, too.

Could you cover Bryson's swing? He goes against so many traditional swing mechanics but obviously is doing very well.

Really interesting and informative video again Russel. Can I ask, if you have a golfer whether they be new or experienced how would you get them to determine which grip they should have strong, weak or neutral and also how high they should swing the left arm and therefore the club. Is it as simple as 'here's the 3 grips, which one feels best for you?' Many thanks James

I feel the lack of understanding of these types of 'related actions' in the golf swing are exactly why the avg score in golf has not gone down. In the past, instruction was so focused on 'this position' or 'that position' and not enough of what is being presented here. These positions are related.

Russell ~ another great video ~ all the missing info from the past is appearing on your channel great video ~ working hard not to be a flipper this year 👍👍

When i trtied to day to create flexion in my left wrist on the backswing my flight was really low ! lost over 35 feet

Ayyyyeee. Thanks for taking my swing!

Fantastic video. Question, if I play a stronger grip I will have a more cup at the top of the BS, so will that angle maintain thru impact? When I try to bow my wrist thru impact, i get low pulls or hooks. Thank you.

Another great video. Question: I have since around 2000 used a Moe Norman type Natural (single plane) golf swing. I have recently looked at the Stack and Tilt swing with a view to incorporating some of that into my swing (primarily the weight more on the front foot). I wish to retain the single plane as it has worked well for me in terms of consistency. Are those two approaches at all compatible?

I can’t see the club or club face on the backswing - it’s camouflaged with the tree branches. Maybe think about that for a future video.

Decent vid like

What's the best way to send you a golf swing? Twitter and Instagram don't give me the option to message you. Facebook?

Omg u looks so much like rick shiels

좋아요!!! 좋은내용이네요. ^^;; 제 영상도 보러 오셔요 ^^: ( Good!! Good video!!! ^^;; come to see mine too)

Grip it and rip it!

Biomechanics gets so over rated! It’s the first thing I look at with my students gate and posture. Thanks for the insight!

Am I the only person that want to climb those trees

to much speed the lesson i cant folow you thanks!

Russel you know what your talking about mate but I find you put to much information in and I seem to lose interest mate can’t you cut it down a bit I don’t know if others think the same just telling you what I think no insult intended jimmy
