I love how this video feels like a conspiracy being hacked

Next video, Michael Jordan accidentally reveals the secret to dunking from the foul line.

The secret is practicing 60 hours a week, don't tell anyone.

I found this out by trial and error. also keeping the back to the target for longer than usual and letting the arms go first, is a GREAT way to become a BALL STRIKER.

My swing is home grown / self taught meaning I have never done a swing analysis or gone to a teacher. I am a “weekend” golfer, and in the summer time maybe play twice a week. Three years ago I broke 80 for the first time shooting a 77. I have a very short back swing. I noticed when I would need to hit a “punch” shot I came back short and low, and even though I was not swinging full the ball traveled far. I started focusing on contact, making a solid swing and really turning through it. I hit more consistently and my distance is fine for me. I hit my 8 iron 145-155 yards and driver about 260 yards. I am not considered a long hitter by any means, but it’s controlled. This works for me and I can control my timing into the shot much better then when I try to take the club way high to parallel. You could say I could swing my club in a phone booth. It’s compact but I trap the ball well with solid contact and I’ve been able to do this by shortening my back swing and powering through arms coming down the turning through the shot with my lower body.

"Illuminati Secrets Revaled on Golf Channel"

Last 5 rounds 71, 72, 76, 71, 74 focusing on "throwing" instead of rotating... I have never been more consistent. This is a secret because so many teachers are teaching it backwards with the hips and rotation. Brendon... you have done an excellent job exposing this and this is a great vid that I will be sharing

I believe it's like Mike Austin taught. You let your arms move your body. When I focus on just hitting the ball with my hands my body does what it's supposed to and doesn't over react it simply gets out of the way for my swing plane.

So... Nicklaus and Tiger said the same thing about the golf swing...its time to listen!!! Thanks Brandon!

Congratulation Tiger on your 5th Green Jacket! 🎊🎉

For those of you already comfortable with the basic fundamentals of the golf swing but struggle a bit with consistency with iron shots, ie; flipping the club, scooping, trying to help it up in the air, never leaving a divot, no consistent yardages....Try this. Let your swing thought be that you want to hit the ball into the ground. That you literally want to strike it down into the earth where it sits. Your club would need negative loft to actually do that and since your club has positive loft the ball will feel like it is pinching of the ground and will rocket skyward with a penetrating ball flight. Try it next time your are at the range hitting off real grass. That simple swing thought changed my iron game forever. All of a sudden all my irons had different yardages, I was leaving a divot after the ball and iron play turned into my favorite part of the game instead of the part I dreaded. Remember to practice it for awhile and when you finally rip your first one the right way, you will instantly know what a pure strike with an iron feels like and you will be addicted. Happy golfing.

This was one of those videos that I thought would be a complete waste of time but was pleasantly surprised and glad I watched

The background music is intense and scary.

Explains why I’ve never been successful when I try to “start my hips first”, before my arms. Awesome video!

After playing golf for 20+ years I just recently learned this, figured it out on my own. Sad but of all the lessons, books, and magazine articles I don’t recall this being taught. I broke 90 on Sunday for the first time in while. Still have work to do but I finally feel like I have a basic dependable swing thought that will help me be more consistent.

The best golf instruction video ever made. The cause and effect line by Malaska is so true and absolute genius. Golf has been taught incorrectly for a long, long time.

For everyone that missed the point of this video, go back to @4:01 and listen to what he is saying. Too often swing coaches over teach the firing of the hips and under teach the swinging of the arms. THATS what this video is about.

If you set up on a plane board and fire your hips or body your arms/club will come over the top and the club will not make it back to the plane board but if you get to the top and your first move is to DROP YOUR ARMS FIRST it will make it back to the plane board. This has helped me dramatically! I totally agree with this concept

When using a hammer you don't use your hips to drive the nail into the board.... but you do engage your core. when swinging an axe at a tree you're not all wrapped up in how you use your hips... there's just a sequence of muscle use that has to come naturally. golf is so ridiculously over thought out

They all just love to confuse high handicappers trying to improve.... Most of this is dependent on GRIP style... Strong grip must fire hips to be able to release the club head and not miss left.... weak grip the arms have to catch up otherwise miss right. Everybody feels it differently and everybody has a preference as to what they feel they can repeat and control.

And for that few years, no one hit a ball as well as Tiger before or since.

Thanks Brendon for the video....I've watched this video like 4 times already. It's loaded with truths that explains what we see and what we should feel in a golf swing.

I agree with this video. I play my best golf when I'm letting my arms get there first. I think what maybe is happening is that your body subconsciously fires from the lower body first during the golf swing, at least for most coordinated people. But the moment you start consciously trying to do it, it becomes overactive, and you lose focus on the the arms and you get stuck. like this video mentions, a huge majority of your speed comes from your arms. Yeah, you could gain a few mph if you get the lower body involved to start, but it is hard to coordinate, and youll probably feel off balance during your follow through. learn to swing your arms as fast you fuckin can with the club but no ball, or with the club upside down to train your fast twitch muscles to know what it feels like to swing fast.

Here is my personal golf secret. No need to figure anything out as long as you get into your correct golf posture. Simply do a 1/4 turn with your lead hand and then a 100 percent turn with your trail hand. And you must always start your downswing with the pads of your trail hand little finger pressing against the grip of the golf club in order to feel the magic happen. This works for a million reasons. Cheers 👍😃⛳️🥂❤️

I remember watching a video of Tiger in slow-mo and thinking to myself 'He's not starting with the hips'. That was years ago and I thought I had simply misinterpreted what I had seen. It wasn't until seeing this vid that it all made sense. It took a while but, since learning that the arms power the swing, everything has changed. There is more distance and accuracy now and no back pain. Wish I'd found out sooner...

One of the main problems for amateur golfers is that they don't get thier hands down enough therefore they are always above the plane, this video is great to slow down an out of sync body and start hitting the ball from the inside. By swinging the arms down first it will automatically sync everything up. It may not be for everyone but it is an easy one thought to have when starting the downswing instead of overthinking everything.. The key is to stay relaxed when you do it and try to keep your back to the target as you make this move or else you will start coming over the top.

Folks also forget that Tiger won the 2001 TPC. So Tiger had all 4 majors plus TPC at the same time. That is likely never happening again.

I had a similar swing for many years and was playing to a consistent 1.8 handicap. Then 20 years ago I had to stop playing due to back issues that I feel were a direct result from swinging this way for many years. I feel like this is absolutely NOT the way to swing a club if you want to play this gave for many years. I literally gave all my golf clubs away and completely left the game. Other interests quickly filled that time void golf left and years of PT and lots of core exercises and stretchy I have been pretty much pain free. End of last year I stumbled upon your Dr Kwon video and his channel, everything he was teaching just made sense. I quickly and cautiously incorporated his cow-bell and rope swing as part of my daily exercise routine for the past month and the back feels great. Last week purchased a 56* wedge and began swinging it easily with Dr Kwon’s techniques. I was surprised to find that I am consistently hitting my wedge 100-105 yds with great control and ZERO back issues. I video all my practice sessions to make sure I am not over-swinging and maintaining technique. Next week I have an iron fitting and we’ll see where it goes from there. Thanks for giving hope to a 60 year-old to play the game in my retirement years.

First, look at Cameron Champ’s swing. His hips clear further sooner than any other player. And he’s the longest right now. Second, it’s not the speed of the hips. They are the anchor. The foundation. That the shoulders pull on. And thirdly, in my experience you have to let the hips lead automatically. You can’t do it consciously or you will mess up the timing.

BBG, you are always open to finding the truth. Golf is so counterintuitive. Instructors should instruct on feel not mechanics. Mechanics is the product of feel. The lead shoulder should create rotation in shoulder only while staying centred over ball, meaning lower half “feels stationary and the trail arm should lead the downswing and power source while maintaining connection with body. When Tiger says his hands feel like they are beating body to the ball that is because in his downswing his trail is absolute dominant.

Ok, the way how some of the instructors in the video worded the “secret” isn’t the best, it could be devastatingly dangerous to some beginners. The bottom line of this video or the REAL secret is that, arms and hands are what matters the most to CONTROLLING contact, not the hip or lower body. However, hip is still the most important factor of generating speed and SHOULD be the first thing being fired in downswing. LPGA has higher hip speed but lower club speed mainly because their lower body heights resulting in shorter radius of swing arc. Listen close to what tiger said in the beginning, giving all you got to the hip DOSE make you swing faster. But the problem is that, you will have no control over the contact if you don’t coordinate with arms and hands like “ringing a bell/pulling a chain”. An instructor was talking about neurotransmission being unseen in video, YES, arms and hands ARE being controlled by the brain since the very first moment/initiation of downswing, and so is the HIP and everywhere else in the body! It’s just that the brain is telling arms and hips to do different things at different time during downswing depending on what kind of swing and contact you are intending to have!

So really the hips are just getting out of the arms’ way. The hip turn allows the arms to work around and in front of you. It’s an effect and not a cause as Mike would say.

What I figured out late last season for myself, my feels, was after getting to the top my focus was trying to cast the club like you’re fishing as far as you can behind you. This activated the correct arm muscles and my club started on plane much better coming down. It was not a feeling of getting arms in front or down to the ball faster. That worked for me, as my natural move is over the top. I’m a good golfer too.

I'm 3 hcp and I saw this show with Tiger and Butch on YT 2 years ago. Then I went to the practice range to work on this feeling, just to try. At the beginning, you feel like you hit the ball with no energy. But, when you got it (after 1 h) I stroke the ball longer with less effort and lot more constitancy (a feeling to have a longer contact with the ball during impact). Very impressive with long irons and woods. That piece of advice worked very well for me !

One of the greatest golf teachers ever-John Jacobs-considered that the body oriented emphasis in the swing was the death knell for very many golfers. As I recall in his teaching he taught (essentially) that the golfer should swing down from the top with the hands and arms and turn through impact with hips and body. The rest of his teaching largely focused on a wonderful ability to diagnose faults from the flight of the ball and give corrective advice thereafter

Tiger played that entire pga season at a +10 better than scratch handicap lol. Insane

100% because I’ve gained speed by feeling like I’m turning my body fAster and my arms beating my chest while keeping my right foot down for control. And I’ve gained distance and control.

I was laughed off a discussion board after saying I have followed what Tiger and Bobby in this video are saying...I had 3 birdies and reached 2/4 par 5s in two, first time in my life..and hve been doing this consistently....i have been playing golf for 20 years and suffered immensly from early extension. I have not topped a ball in 4 rounds. I am stating all of the above matter of factly, no hidden agenda. I am a golfer and not a teacher. There are many golf quacks on line with no resumes to show for. I followed one for years and went no where. Thank good ness for the reality to finally breakthrough in teaching.

The separation between the two halves of the body on the backswing, if you turn the lower body on the way down, you'll need to move the hands in front of you because otherwise you'll get stuck. If you're using the whole body on the way back (free hip turn) and separate on the downswing, the arms cannot get stuck no matter how hard you drive the hips, because the body isn't significantly twisted. If you separate on the backswing, this "hands first" idea works decent, but requires extensive timing. If you separate on the downswing but use full body on the backswing, arms first will destroy your timing if you don't use the lower body. In other words, a restricted hips swing requires arms first for timing. A full body doesn't require arms first. It's a modern concept and isn't necessary if you're swinging correctly.

This is so true! Ive been going through your old videos saying this but I came to this realization this summer after two years of snap hooking the ball so bad that I couldn't even get off the tee! I had to feel like I was all arms and completely holding my hips square in the downswing. Broke my best score by 5 strokes two weeks later. Would've been lower if knew how to putt for a damn!

This is one of the greatest videos and exclamations on the golf swing I’ve ever seen my swing has gotten so much better just by watching this about once a month

This is great advice, almost every amateur has been taught to not get to armsy, but they should do the opposite. I think the hips when moved too soon will kill any consistency.

Shawn Clement has been saying this for years as well.

2:58-3:18 Thanks red shirt guy. I’m having so much success with that.

Moe Norman said that people put to many moving parts in a golf swings. He was right.

I’m new to golf and this video has corrected so many things that guys have been teaching me on the golf course. It’s sad that this only has several hundred views on the bright side my game will improve drastically and nobody will understand how!

i focus on the same thing ... drive the hands down and let the body follow ... why am i not on tour??? ;)

Can’t stress this enough that this is a feel vs real thing to help you stay more in sequence

I mean, with that old swing he was already mutiple pga tour winner including 1997 masters which he won by 12 strokes and that is still his personal best round at Augusta. He would've done Tiger slam without swing change anyway. He is just built differently

That little clip from Harmon/Tiger from Golf Channel with Peter Kessler is my holy grail; and the one thing I have picked up from it if you watch it closely: he does a short little check swing from top of backswing (like a checking of the shoulders as if you’re “taking” a pitch that you don’t swing out) - that gets the shaft shallowed and out in front of the rt shoulder a little. From there. His hands drop down closer to his rt thigh and he twists the left wrist into flexion bowing as the hands get into that position

That home video swing is the best swing I've ever seen! GOAT!

My first thought after 10 seconds of this video was “Brendon, Mike’s [Malaska] been telling you this for years”.

Nice! Your last several hundred videos or so had already convinced me on this concept, but this right here is the tightest version of it yet. Thx for editing it all up! Keep up the great stuff.

All these guys saying body rotation is the new best way are nuts! Hit it with your hands !! Just like throwing a ball, your body instinctively knows what to do. Great video.

The body/hips work against the ground but its more of a get out the way motion than a coil or wind up.Body action is mainly for stability to counter the massive swing wt of a club moving at 100mph+.Its the athletic throwing muscles ie shoulders/arms that produce acceleration/speed they work against the grip/club. If the club/ball was as light as a badminton raquet/shutlle we wouldnt need so much hip/body action

If you are reading this before you have finished watching the video, do yourself a HUGE favor and DO NOT WATCH THIS TRAIN WRECK! The main issue with the hips for the average golfer is that they move TOWARD the ball on the downswing which is generally what occurs when golfers try and get more lower body into the swing.

Dude, you ALWAYS crack me up in your videos.....because when someone is talking, your lookin around, swinging the club like youre barely listening to a word their saying....cause you cant WAIT to smash a golf ball......LMAO. Its HILARIOUS.... Youre like "yep, yeah, uh-huh, yep"....the whole time your looking for golf balls to smash....ROFLMAO

I almost soiled myself when in a Golf magazine Louis Oostheizen said "My arms go down and then my body follows." "What!" I said....what of firing the hips, separation of upper and lower....??? Does any sport have so much misdirected instruction? I believe now that the arms fall THEN the body drives....the trail hip must make space for the arms to fall in front, then the drive.

The hard part is turning the shift of perseption into a workable swing. Most of my drills these days involve anchoring of the right foot to ensure the arms come away from the body before impact and then allow the turn through. Its a difficult process but I I must say that with just an "arm" swing I hit the ball straighter and only lose about 15% power. Its a good go to process on a tight course. Thanks B, great vid as usual.

Instead of reinforcing bad habits on the range before a round. Go stretch for fifteen minutes then practice putting to get a feel of green speed. Leave swing thoughts at home or office.

Mike Bender has been teaching this since the 90s ( maybe earlier)

Not many here will believe this, but before he was a TV announcer and had to sort of slide into "be positive about almost everything any good player or any teacher says about the swing" mode (which put him in the position of advocating completely contradictory things from one week to the next, sometimes from one segment to the next), he was actually a great teacher and theorist, and I imagine he's still an excellent teacher if you work with him personally, based on what I knew of him in the '70s and '80s. Here's the point: In his book The Inside Path to Better Golf, possibly the most underrated and underread great instructional book ever, he says exactly what Woods is saying here -- that in his best swings, he tends to feel that the arms are having to catch up to the club, and the shoulders and torso are catching up to the arms and club. It's not quite true, but it's a feeling of free-swinging instead of shoving and levering the club around with the shoulders and body. It's exactly what Woods is talking about here, only Kostis was writing this in 1982. Toski, Flick, Love Jr., and a few others were saying it well before that, even. Which is not to disparage Woods or Harmon. Quite the opposite. I'm confirming that they're working in a long tradition of solid good-player theory and practice.

I meant to ad d that do the long hitters all - also once the weight shift is initiated by the hips use their arms, wrists and hands to accelerate and create more swing speed and distance - yes, absolutely !

Tiger should retire and become a golf teacher. He truly has a great talent and it should be shared and taught

Brandon, just watched this again. It's a really good collection of alternative and conflicting thoughts and explanations. And of course it's a good example of people saying what they feel, then video showing them doing something completely different. For the player the feel is truth. For the learner video is truth.

This is why better players and pros like heavier clubs. And higher swingweights. Because when the head of the club feels heavy, it's easy to feel the club and the release. If youre trying to hit it with what feels like the arms and the club, not the body, you want some weight that feels like you'll get some power behind the shot. I noticed this right away when I went to a heavier swingweight. It just feels like finally you can use your arms and also let the club do the work. After years of being stuck and hips way too early, Monte and this has been huge.

I hit snap hooks when my arms out race my lower body. Need to sync them up. Hit as many balls as Tiger has under the tutelage he’s had and you would hit it pretty good too.

I had a baseball coach tell me light, soft hands make for harder hits. Driving balls on a line. I just translated light soft hands and arms to golf. More speed and in control.

And the memorial a couple times, some wgc events and the players in 2001. Insane

0:23 I thought that was me in the video, that right heel coming up super early

This is a product of the modern swing. Modern golfers are taught to dump the club through impact which causes a disconnection between the arms and lower body. In the more classic swing golfers rotated the club through impact with their bodies

1:17 I take issue with this idea that "hips don't drive the golf swing." Whether that statement is true or not is going to vary person to person, depending on their own bodily awareness and sensation. For some, that statement is true, for others it won't be. I can attest that my best ball striking has occurred when my focus has been solely on the feeling and sensation in the rotation and timing of my hips. My arms, wrists, and hands are just along for the ride - once I get my full rotation to the top, the only swing thought in my head is begin my downswing by firing my left hip and release the right half of my body afterward. The hips are square in the middle between the club and your arms - to say they aren't closely tied to the swing is moronic.

So to say it simply, don't use the hip turn too much. Too much hip turn too soon = bad shot. I used to be criticized a lot for being an "arms and hands" player. But the guys that told me that, they could not beat me. Plus, I felt like I was turning just fine. Got good results. And like Monte Scheiblum says here, too much hips too soon is not a good thing. Got to put things in proportion in the golf swing I'd say. That's my 2 cents. Nice vid here.

You might be able to pull down fast from the top if you have very fast, tour- pro-like hip action; if not, don't pull down form the top; most amateurs do this already and come way over the top because their hips and lower body are nowhere near as athletic as a tour professional. Most amateurs don't get their hips out of the way enough; their hips look stuck in cement; lol this vid is only for those with hips as fast as Tiger or Rory; lol

All of the best instructors in one video telling you to release the club and arms. Maybe everyone should try it.

I don’t know why this came up on my feed today. Brandon, I believe this hip spin-out problem was one of your main issues. Someone commented about hammers and axes and I wholeheartedly agree with him. Bill Melhorn, from my research first mentioned the long hammer analogy but as the poster stated, it must be expanded to imagine hitting through the ball/nail. Tony and I have corresponded on a few points and his ABC and Anticipatory Synergetic Activation shed some light on Ernest Jones’ “swing the clubhead” and “lower body are followers” instruction. I never appreciated EJ until then. Mike Austin said, “That damned Hogan ruined it for everybody” in connection with Hogan’s personal feeling of the rubber banded hips and initiating the downswing with the hips. Only Hogan is Hogan. No one, not Gardner Dickinson nor John Schlee could imitate him to a T. We all have our own keys, images and physical attributes and produce “serviceable” shots with methods as unique as fingerprints. Has anyone tried hammer throwing? Spinning the hips a la Hogan just doesn’t work. Thanks, Brandon. Been watching your “unique voices” series since you first posted and ended up totally reworking my swing under Mike Austin’s tutelage with a bit of Tony and Joe Dante (esp. the “Early Backward Wrist Break”) thrown in. Gained distance and dropped my hc from 7 to 5. This 67 year old can’t be happier.

The golf instruction available for the average golfer that really wants to improve sucks! unless you are willing to pay big money of course. The sad truth is that a lot of the information is simple. Executing the moves might not be, but the actual concept of why certain moves work is. I have taking lots of lessons and no one ever told me the things I learned on my own that have helped me improve. Thanks god for the internet and slow motion videos..It takes will power and lots of practice to get some of the moves right but once you got them, improvement is imminent. You might not go from high handicapper to a single over night but slow progress is very realistic if you have the right information. For some reason the instructors I visited either did not want to share it, or they did not know it. ..It is kind of a bummer really.

Tiger is just a genius-Congratulations on all your accomplishments

One of the best KZfaq golf videos ever!! Thanks Brendon!

Watch Rory. The absolute key to golf is left arm extension. The secret is to lock your left elbow and get comfortable doing that on ALL shots. The longer you can keep it locked, the better you will hit it. Just watch all the best ball strikers. Only Fowler and Speith chicken wing and I assure u their left arm is locked in that position and the reason they get away with it is because their right arm is fully extended at, and after impact. This mimics all of the great ball strikers but just uses the opposite arm. If you can keep ur elbow locked until at least 2 feet after impact on every shot u will be amazed at the consistency and distance.

Most helpful swing video I've ever watched.

the hips thing is quite complicated. to hit the ball hard and straight your hips need to be facing the target (or as close to it) at impact. If you stay side-on you can't whip your shoulders all the way around at speed without tearing your spine in half. The hips have to turn super fast FIRST so that the shoulders can rotate around the central axis super fast. What the arms and hands do in relation to releasing the club is more about the legs, gravity and blasting off the ground while keeping the head down that helps rip the shoulders round - this release action from the ground up causes the hips to rotate further, driven by powerful straightening leg muscles. So if you wanna talk about cause and effect, it's actually both. From the top of the backswing, the initial hip swivel CAUSES the arms to come down by creating side bend (crunching the back muscles). Or you can pull them down consciously - it doesn't actually matter - both methods work . Hence why some pros say pulling on a rope (Sergio) and some say let 'em drop (Els). All that matters is that the hands get down somehow. Then, from this squatting position with the hips facing the target, the lead leg pushes up and back, the trail leg pushes up and forward, but the head cannot be allowed to lift up. This punishingly difficult movement causes the back to arch, the HIPS TO TURN FURTHER and the shoulders to whip round - and into the only position your body can go, which is the classic side bend, straight left leg position post impact. DJ is a great example, but they all do it, it's the secret movement of the pros and shows just how athletic and flexible they are. It's brutal - but necessary to keep the hands ahead of the clubhead all the way through impact. So really hip movement is both a cause OR an effect depending on where you are in the swing. It causes/initiates movements at the start of the downswing, but then morphs into an effect of lead leg thrust later through impact. Pretty difficult folks. But learnable. A symphony of multiple body parts interacting with each other that dip in and out at different times. Kinda like playing the piano with 7 hands. Learn each piece in isolation, commit it to muscle memory, then move on to the next. After a while you'll be able to put it all together as a sequence. As Butch says, it takes a helluva lot of work. (But believe me, it's massively worth it,)

Man, wish I would have discover this 15 years ago in my junior golf days. Back then, the 'so called' PGA pro instructing me just said stop sliding your hips on the downswing. After several years of doing ridiculous drills and becoming paranoid about sliding hips, it up screwed up my entire downswing sequence and instead firing my hips to soon, wound up coming over the top, trying to keep my left hip still. My hips were never swaying, it was just over aggressive causing the clubhead to lag behind and prone to hitting those weak cuts. DAMN, I wish someone told me "Ring that Bell" to start the downswing and hips will follow. Would have save my ass from those 'gorgeous' blocks during sectionals and junior tourneys. There should be legal recourse for us, the junior golf fanatics, on the fucking fake pros that only swindle your parents out of $60+ worthless sessions that actually made me worse. For junior golfers, make damn sure that your pro know what the hell he/she is doing and if you're not getting better after 2 sessions, ditch the fool, or you are gonna waste tons of your parents hard earned money while in the process getting worse. I seriously would have been better off just fixing the swing by myself

I've always taken the hips to be purely about positioning the upper body in a way that it can complete a neutral plane, maxxing speed through centrifugal force. If your plane axis is changing through the swing, you're losing potential kinetic energy from the tip of the club head. So you rotate them back a bit (30 deg) to get your arms out and around to the 2nd parallel, and from there, my hips are opening in conjunction with my swing, so that my arms can come down quickly, controlled, and on a single plane back to the ball at a good path. The consistency I get with this is pretty good for someone of my ability (15 hcp)

That explains why I had such an easy entry in golf, I played baseball before, helped a lot not learning the wrong things in golf.

golf swing is not totally vertical or totally horizontal, but if you think of it as primarily vertical like a slightly tilted ferris wheel with your arms/club swinging under your sternum/shoulders vs primarily horizontal with your torso turning. swinging more up and down under your shoulders you gain effortless swing speed and also clubface countrol... so your arms swing down and thru under your shoulders as opposed to swinging around from the turning of your body and shoulders

They’re not independently dropping arm, it’s triggered by slight lateral forward hips move.

So how do you "accidentally" reveal a secret when he's telling us purposely? My swing coach must be accidentally revealing secrets in every lesson. How lucky am I?

WRONG, the hips will ALWAYS drive the down swing; did you not hear what Tiger said, he said he feels like his hand start down to win the race, even though that is not what is happening; the hips still win the race. It ONLY FEELS otherwise. !!!

What golf swing feels like and what it looks like are two different things--- and this is what average golfer doesn't get. And I really think average golf pro does a pretty lousy job explaining this to people that want to learn. I have learned more from watching Mike Malaska than anyone else ----- Also enjoy your channel and have picked up some tips. Thanks.

When I started I couldn’t turn so my teacher told me this . Yes this requires timing and a lot of practice . But what she told me works for me and good I stuck to it. It works .

Swing your swing. I think every golfer over the course of their lives should experiment with different swings until they find the one that works for them. Some guys are all feel, some are not. I know for me, after much experimentation I have come to a swing where I fire my lower body a little before my arms and then my arms follow. That doesnt mean my lower body controls my swing its just what I do to get more consistent ball striking. I think the biggest problem with the average golfer is they dont try new things enough. They just do what feels good to them no matter what the outcome. It's not just swings either its grips. I see horrible grips all the time. But to them, its what they first learned and it feels right to them and they dont want to try something new. If you are going to the range, and you are disappointed with your play lately or lack or improvement, then try a different swing or grip or both. What's the harm. You might find a new swing that works better for you.

Can you share the name of the last instructor that was talking about Neuromuscular activation? Thanks for this video! I'm a hitting instructor for baseball. It seems the new "science" points everyone to what it looks like and bypass feels like what are described here. Hips and then hands is the most misunderstood idea in the baseball world. For EVERY player that has a dad that says "he doesn't use his hips enough, he's all arms" its always the opposite. These players have excessive external rotation of the hips and the reason it looks like "all arms" is because the arms are disconnected and chasing the hip rotation (Like the Ole). So, ultimately it is all arms but the fix "fire your hips more" exacerbates the underlying problem.

There is only one thing wrong with this video, Tiger didn't know the true secrets to the golf swing, Ben Hogan did. As great as Tiger and Jack Nicklaus were only Hogan knew where the ball was going ALMOST all the time. The only player in the history of the game that could legitimately claim he knew the secret of the swing. Tiger and Jack were better putters than Hogan, as simple as that. Tiger Woods himself said Hogan owned the swing, as well as Nicklaus admitting that Hogan was golf's greatest shotmaker. That isn't saying Tiger isn't a great ball striker, he was. Tigers secret was willing the ball into the hole from places on the course Hogan never visited.

The secret to shredding up your left knee into oblivion finally revealed!

I think many many golfers when thinking of a 'body swing' get way in front with their hip turn. Also their angle of attack is usually from the inside as the correct attack plane is counter intuative.

It seems to me there are a number of successful players on each side of this debate. I would call one group arm swingers, and the group core rotaters. The arm swingers are more upright in posture, and straighten the right elbow earlier in the downswing. This type of action dominated golf in the 70's-2000's. The core rotaters are much more horizontal in upper body posture during the downswing which creates a lot of space making them less likely to get stuck. They keep their right elbow bent longer. Players like DJ, Hogan, Mahan, and Woodland are examples. Their power comes from both rotation of the core, as well as late internal rotation of the right shoulder. The release is more low and left. There are a few like Tiger who have swung both ways. I don't have a problem with either method. Whatever works.

Moe Norman gave the secret away. The hips should rotate naturally not forced. If you rotate your hips at the top of the backswing your arms will get stuck behind and thats where you either have to flip the club at impact or you leave it wide open!!

Hogan said to start the downswing with rotating the hips, and let the arms follow.

Been struggling lately with hooks and this makes sense, I was watching this and had no idea it was your vid.....scrambled whole tournament with tee shots......i give this a go
