Thank you for identifying my early extension into and up I've fought it for years and can never seem to rid myself of it I'm 68 years old & still a legit 4 handicap player despite the thin pushes and fat pulls!

Interesting way to answer. Can’t argue that most pros are trying to create a stable face and don’t want early extension. How they create it is where the argument lies. Can’t think of a single player that tips the club out early and pushes away from it as it goes around. They all use their bodies to generate the force and the club doesn’t catch up to their pivot until after impact. I think he was getting close to what most are actually doing when he talked about shallowing the club and creating wrists structure in preparation to rotate into the ball!

Ablgolfmom agreed. He never points to one specific player who does what he teaches. He only mentions swings that he likes. It would have been legitimate if he showed a video of a player he coaches, that’s on tour, doing exactly what he teaches. It’s just not the facts.

David Duvall is the best at the tipping the shaft and keeping the face square through impact. Check our Duvall video with Charlie Rymer

It's all about where your weight is through impact. On the heels, away from the ball. On balls of feet, early extension.

I'm glad you mentioned the Korean women golfers, they are as you say phenomenal players and a joy to watch. When you take the muscle out of the equation you start to appreciate the elegance of technique. I guess your message is that the golf swing should be simple.

Mr. Malaska You have totally ruined my life ! Well - not really. BUT your lessons and comments about where (and why) to ‘place’ your hips has totally changed my perception about what I’m doing. So I’ve been thinking; how can I train myself in everyday life ......... So- I’ve now started WALKING while concentrating about hip placement. OK - so I look like an idiot. BUT I’m loosening up in my pelvis/ hips. And I feel the transformation. I’m a Norwegian. So for the time being it’s all about skiing. BUT I can’t wait to try out my (almost sensual) pelvis movements ! Thanks a bunch for all the online sessions you are putting on. Best regards from Norway Ola

Hi Mike. At 72 I discovered that the absolute best snapping action I can think to the ball is that at the top of my swing I activate my trail elbow to lead my trail hand to do a full bodied karate chop to and through the ball. My lead side being passive and yet highly responsive to my trail side. Also like Jack Nicklaus I like to fix my lead eye on to the ball until the momentum of the club post impact stands me up to the full finish of my swing. Tom Tomasello was the first to call the golf downswing a Karate chop at and through the ball. And he was right and yet ignored by the PGA for telling the truth . Cheers

Hello Mr. Malaska....do you think Viktor Hovland has the take away/back swing that you teach? Or maybe his downswing? I saw a slow motion of his swing and immediately thought of what you teach. Thanks for your answer.

Very good example. Tommy has no face rotation at all and the club face tracks so well at the 90 degrees to swing arc. He also does none of that 'shallowing the club' artificially.

Hi, Mike. Thanks for another very interesting talk. I totally get the desirability of avoiding face rotation around impact but how does that relate to trail arm external rotation on the backswing. I am having a series of lessons at the moment, having played for over 20 years and been between 9 and 13 handicap, and the first thing the pro picked up on was lack of trail arm rotation resulting in crossing the line at the top of a not very long backswing. So I’m tying to get the club more laid off. But the question is if I get good trail arm external rotation in the backswing what should happen through the downswing? At what point should that rotation reverse? Many thanks. Always love the vids and in this case you do answer the question about pro swings. Some people, huh?
@colinwhite27244 жыл бұрын
James Fondren : thanks, James, I’ll think about that one. Sometimes I think I do rotate my body quite well but yes, it’s definitely something lacking in me.

Louis Oosthuizen’s swing ticks all the boxes. Orthodox set up, club swings on a simple circle, body and arms sync up, club face stable throughout, with a free wheeling release-no manipulations or catching the face up. See also Steve Stricker and David Toms. Low maintenance, repeatable and easy on the body swings.

I like Mike as a coach. However, people get confused when he says it’s all in the hands, and then talks about a stable club face, no flip. Yes, it might be in hands, but not without a ton of rotation. People get seduced by Mike that they can play with just their Ping Pong stroke. I’m not sure this is possible. Go and watch the Chris Como show on the golf channel with Charles Howell III and his coach grant waite and how they changed Charles swing. THIS is what the pros are doing.

So many people just don’t get it. “Rotation” may be your power source, but have you ever heard of hand eye coordination? Anybody who has ever been decent and a ball and stick sport knows how to use their hands to make contact. His one handed drills expose the shitty ball striking skills that most casual golfers have today. What most instructors do is try to get you to do use on positions and just build on top of your shitty fundamentals. Malaska actually is trying to get you to build your skills from the ground up so that when you do a full swing you’re not just hoping and praying it connects. What you call a “ping pong” stroke is simply the foundation of learning to hit the ball. I bet if you went out to the range and tried took 10 one handed shots you’d maybe correctly hit one.

Make no mistake, great golfers know how to use their hands. I do get your point about not obsessing about them and the importance of rotation. The syncing of the lower and upper body are crucial, but hand skills are the difference make.

From my opinion the Koreans at using their culture of body movement for golf. There are thousands years traditions of tai chi and ci gun. No one of golf teachers is able to teach this. I’m practicing Mantak Chia stream gymnastics for a 6 years and only now start understanding how far I am from natural movement in my golf swing.
