To anyone who’s ever played any sport in their lives and wanted to learn 95% of the golf swing in one hour, watch this video.

I've spent a fortune on lessons over the years and I've never had the game explained so well, thank you 🇬🇧

Well mike, that was Exactly what we needed in a nutshell, a long nutshell, and I’m glad I heard it all I’m 75 and I’ve lost strength and flexibility, but you have given me hope Thank you

Thanks so much Mr Malaska. This lesson will allow many of us to play better golf and the related pleasure for many more years. One of the best lessons on the Internet from the best teacher.

I love Mikes tuition, he's by far the best instructional teacher I've seen (and I've seen a lot!)

Simply brilliant, now I am really beginning to understand the golf swing. I have been practicing what I learned from you on line. I am not only getting better, but the game is becoming easier and really more enjoyable. Thank you very much.

Hi Mike, you always make sense as always! This helped my game and I'm heading towards scratch at 59 years young!

Mike this video has helped greatly. It helped to understand how to utilize my body. I’m fused in my back s1 through L4. I’m right handed with my right shoulder being titanium and my left shoulder was torn up in VN and surgery done at the end of 1967. I will soon have my left shoulder also replaced. I’m 73 and started playing golf 14 months ago. I do a lot of stretching. I play 18 twice a week. I have golf net (10x10x10) in the backyard that I hit into daily. I’m an avid golf video watcher and book reader. I have improved to the point that my last 25/30 rounds I’m in the high 80’s (one 85). With my limitations (nerve damage in my legs due the back injury and surgery, and shoulder issues) over the years I’ve learned to live with pain. When watching your videos, I was able to better understand how to adapt my swing, hit straighter, hitting more fairways along with adding distance

The absolute best hour I’ve spent in 15 years on what matters in search of speed & speed’s conversion to playing golf. Thank you Mike!👍🏼

I’ve learned more from this little series then all my lessons. Simple and easy to repeat and added 10-15 yards...Thank you very much....

Mike I have watched all of your lessons over the years & all of them are do very relevant to achieving a great Golf swing. This lesson is just so amazingly good & essential to all golfers. It is just so good & totally accurate in understanding what should be done to swing a club with ease.

Thank you for the service to the golf community, sir! Great content! Subscribed to your website a couple of weeks ago and it’s been a turn from night and blindfolded to a sunny day with shades and a hat! Thanks so much!

Thank you for helping make the golf swing so much easier to understand. You are the only one I have seen that breaks down the swing based in body mechanics. Brilliant!!!

I have wasted the last 2 years of golf due to lessons from a “Core” focused pro. This season went back to basics and your presentation gives me a target to work through the winter. In particular aside from the simplicity of the bands, the concept of letting gravity allow the club to drop to initiate the swing will help me tremendously! Thanks for the quality messaging!

Thank you Mr. Malaska ! It's really a clear comprehensive lecture of how golf swing is, and through the swing logics you teach, it makes easier to let our body learn to swing effotlessly faster, more consistently and more efficiently. I figure out what really is "release" finally after watching this video!

Thank you!!! Another great video with facts and simplicity to a complex game. No gimmicks or tricks -- your explanations with the how and why are spot on. I really appreciate all your time and effort. Hope some day to meet you to thank you in person.

Best thing I've seen in a long time! Position body to swing the arms!

This is absolutely the most informative video I have ever seen on the golf swing. After watching this video (a few times) and then putting it into action with my driver, both on the range and then on the course, my accuracy is now more dialed in and distance has increased by almost 20%. Thank you Mike.

You've probably been told this a thousand times but you have an innate ability to explain things in such a way that it just makes so much sense to me.

I just started playing golf about 6 months ago and started watching him around two months ago and my game has elevated like crazy. I used to be a power lifter and still have good strength but I found out pretty quick that strength is not everything, especially if you don’t know how to use it correctly. I changed everything I was doing and now I’m playing better than my friends are and they’ve been playing for years Lol Mike is a beast in his teachings, everything makes so much since and it’s easy to learn. The man makes the game so much simpler. I’ll tell you how much better I’m doing, not only my accuracy is on point but my drive ski rocketed like insane. Where I used to use a 9 or an 8 iron, now I’m beastin it with my 56 with no problems. Thanks Mr Malaska! You da man!

Mike. Great lesson. I enjoy hearing about your journey and your desire to improve and how you went off track. One has to swing the club with your hands and arms. Thanks for sharing what you have learned.

Thanks Mr. Malaska for these vids. You are a great teacher of the game and just recently helped me to strike the ball better. After listening to you I realize how important it is to get lessons so we don't waste so much time swinging the club the wrong way. We all think we can figure it out on our own. Can we say EGO!

Thank you Mike! You have really helped me understand the swing. You are a true "teacher". I'm going to work on that hand motion you demonstrated. My driver is the one club that holds me back. I don't need 300 yards, I just need 240 down the middle. Keep enlightening us!

Thank you for all of your hard work, changed my game.

Your way of teaching golf is fantastic! You have superb knowledge of physics pertaining to golf. Admire the way you take us to play good golf .My game improved tremendously after going through your videos. Now I enjoy playing good golf at 75!

This video has been the most enlightening swing explanation that I have personally ever seen. It simply gets to the point of getting better IMMEDIATELY without any BS. Thanks Mr. Mike Malaska!!! I love you, sir! (I am pounding the crap outa the back of that ball, MY WAY, with your help! Finally!)

One of the best lessons I have ever watched! I have struggled with my hand position during the swing since I started playing. Keeping them square seems too simple and works! Thank you!

The best golf instructor that I have seen....After watching Mike’s videos I joined his website and it is phenomenal....my game has improved so much .....explanation is so sensible and I have been able to actually get great results using Mike’s technique and methods....keep it up!

Everything you said made sense to me. I struggle with shoulder and neck flexibility and so spending all my time working at maximizing should and hip rotation and the mechanics of thus has been frustrating. Now you've given me a new viewpoint on how to maximize swing speed to consider. Thanks for bring me another perspective on efficiently generating maximum club speed. I'm really looking forward to getting out and experimenting with the things you've highlighted in this video. Thanks!

Best of the best Mr. Malaska. Love your work. Wish there was someone here in Australia that teaches your system and could look over my flaws.. its been close to two years now and still battling my demons in implementing the leverage system. Always been dragging the handle.

Thanks for all you do to make a difference!!! You changed my understanding of Golf!!!!

Fantastic video Mike. Completely changed the way I look at the golf swing. I cannot thank you enough.

I’ve been playing golf for over 25 years and this is probably one of the most informative videos I’ve ever seen and will absolutely help me develop more speed in my golf swing for my driver. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into this video😊

Excellent. The depth of knowledge and understanding of physics - the body and the little nuggets that take years to truly comprehend.

Hey Mike I'm a coaching pro from over the pond. Thanks buddy you are telling it how it is in reality, the he who miss hits it the best wins, is so spot on, and if you lose control of the ball you lose. I love the are we trying to be long drive experts or win the game. I'm sending a lot of my pupils this way to help them understand the concepts of the game. Keep up the great work

Excellent video. I watched today and my eyes were opened. I've hundreds of videos but this video really makes it easy to understand the concepts of the golf swing. Great video....

I've been pondering where speed really comes from over the last few weeks. This is the best explanation I've seen yet. I doubt if there will be a better one. Thanks.

I've stopped watching any other instructor on KZfaq apart from you mike. That is because I have actually improved and am hitting the ball a long way after picking up a few of your tips. 1 - helped stop my shanks with the hip movement lesson you gave, 2 - having a stronger grip in the left hand has stopped my massive push slice. Thanks Mike 👍

Mike is the the most underrated and under viewed top teacher on youtube. His teaching is the best to combined knowledge and simple, practical language and communicate it for average to above average golfers. Really just a great teacher. Hope one day i can take a lesson from you Mike.

I really appreciate all the help you have given me in my golf game the lossening up of shoulders and wrists works great instead of stifling up to try for a faster swing which usually gets out of control

Thanks to Mike, my swing and game have change radically over the last couple of months. At 72, I need all the help I can get. The L to L drill helps me the most.

I've been playing golf for 65 years and this is the best explanation for speed I've ever seen. Surprisingly, the one arm swing drills revealed to me how the 'left' arm is supposed to work. Mine was always fighting with the right and not allowing it to set properly! I always viewed your approach as 'laying off' too much so I would cup my left wrist and close the face at the top. Because of your explanation I don't worry now and am able to put the power back in my right hand...where it belongs. My distance is back but more importantly I'm able to be more consistent, knowing now, how to take it back properly (with the left) and set the club. This video can help anyone. Thank you!

Started to read and watch Manuel de la Torre regarding the golf swing. Last year, I played the best golf of my life. Hit the ball well, didn’t miss one round with a bad back or a sore knee. A few days ago, I found your site. Both have very similar philosophies. Your description is a little more detailed than Manuel’s but still very similar. I now have a folder with videos of Manuel and of you; I’ve deleted all other “instructional videos”. The only negative I have is that it took me so long to find you two guys!!!!!!!! Thank you for making the game enjoyable again. Swing thoughts: see the ball, address the ball, hit the ball, find the ball, repeat as needed.

I am a 10 handicap and this lesson has literally transformed how I view speed in the golf swing. I have been going at it all wrong. Brilliant!!

And a great section on how to use the hands correctly, luckily Ive always done this apart from 1 dodgy lesson years ago. Yes I sometimes release fractionally early and can look like a flip But my lowerbody action counters this and I still strike it well and straight!

Mike has good info and it all makes sense. Injury prevention advice is priceless.

I watched this video earlier today, just finished hitting balls at the driving range, wow, what a difference! Thank you!

Mike, I want you to know that this video ABSOLUTELY made my day with your "What creates speed faster demonstration!" I laughed so hard I had tears. You are truly a gem and a great golf instructor. Thank You!!

This is the most comprehensive explanation of the golf swing a person could squeeze in to an hour ... and THAT'S THE POINT!! I love the famous quote, "If you can't explain something clearly you don't understand it." Mike has accumulated a level of mastery as it applies to the golf swing and he demonstrates that by how clearly he is able to articulate it. This teaching incorporates the thinking of others I appreciate e.g. Jimmy Ballard, Jim Flick, Monte Scheinblum, and brings it all together in a compelling fashion.

Why were you never recommended to me? A total stranger told me to watch your videos, said I had a great swing but was off on my momentum. Best advice I've ever had

So thorough, so good, so dispelling ,we are so grateful.

This one video has renewed my desire to improve my golf game and given me the confidence to feel that I can. Can’t thank you enough Mr Malaska.

Thank you so much. As a chiropractor for 34 years .... I follow your way of teaching easily ... and I believe it is the way to go for the amateur player. Looking forward to studying with you ... and meeting you in person one day. Best, DK

Thank you. I have been playing golf for over 30 years and I have had tons of golf lessons..I have never fathom out the golf swing till now. I will be 80 soon I have been struggling recently. What you have explained is the reason I have been struggling. Rigid body and not allowing the free flow of the arms. I am most grateful. Bless you

Thank you, Mike for sharing great insights on a safe and effortless golf swing. It is consistent with my natural instinct because it uses the way the body works.

Always the best information on the golf swing. So grateful.

This has been the most interesting and informative 57 minutes I have spent watching a golf video. And, on top of that, it all makes sense!!! As I understand it, this concept removes the tension out of the golf swing. In so doing, club head speed automatically increases, as does your distance. I'll definitely be trying this out. I'll also be watching a lot more of your videos (including episode 1) if available. Thanks Mike!!

Wisdom pure. Could listen to him the whole day.

The best lesson I’ve ever seen, well explained, simple and it makes sense! Thank you.

Well, I was a teacher for over 35 years( and a pretty good one according to my students). And I can tell a good teacher when I see one. Mike, I just LOVE your theory. Why? SIMPLICITY! I'm looking forward to experimenting what you provided us in this video. It's a process, I know it. But some information you gave us can really transform the way we play. Thanks again. Keep up the good work.

This isn't just the best instructional video on speed on the internet, it's the best video on the golf swing itself. I've been trying to play golf with the "swing with your body" paradigm for years now, and it's been a miserable failure. It wasn't until I actually started using my hands and arms again that I gained 20 yards and a much tighter dispersion.

The other day I worked on the The other day I worked on moving my right hip straight back to the point I Felt I was sitting on it and got great results. Now I will practice on the hand, and wrist leverage to increase my speed. Excellent info....

Best Golflesson Ever!!! Thank you!

You just pulled the wool off of my eyes!! There are so many SWING THOUGHTS that have me almost paralyzed with fear when I'm out with my group, one of my BIGGEST? Is actually as I am approaching the FIRST TEE!! Where I'm hoping like hell that my game will be ON today, like it is all about luck .. I love the game, and I want my game to keep me excited about golf.. 57 minutes!! Thanks Mike!! You have a new fan/Subscriber

You are explanation is the best that I have heard and makes the most sense. No more reason to watch anyone else!

thanks MM .. can't wait to watch more of these. I'm much improved over the last season .. shooting regular scores from 70 to 79 25 out of 30 times .. hoping your lnfo will get me the rest of the way home.

The best explanation of swing speed i have ever seen. Im a pretty fit 68 year old from the UK and i wish i had someone coach me to do this when i was 40. This video is a revelation and should be watched by every person who plays golf. From Mike C

Omg. I wish there wasn’t any snow on the ground here in Sioux Falls. This video is so good, I can’t even begin to thank you enough Mr. Malaska. Thank you!!

I can’t tell you how very much I needed to hear your excellent explanation of creating speed in the swing. I’ve recently struggled with over swinging using big muscles and failing to hit the center of the face and the ball going everywhere but where I wanted. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!😮

I've been playing golf for almost 30 yrs (picked up the game soon after college) and I'm a solid 4 handicapper (have been better and have been worse in recent yrs). This is real life golf information! Thank you Mike for the clarity and humility in your instruction. The principles you teach help me clarrify and understand the diverse information I've heard about the golf swing.

We all have that one quote we like to frame and hang on the wall. Mine has always been, "There is a big difference between a powerful effort and effortless power." I have also always been fascinated by watching Fred Couples swing a golf club. It looks like he's just taking a practice swing, but they call him Boom Boom! He is the essence of fluid, graceful, effortless power. If you want to begin to understand this silly game, PLEASE listen to this guy! There is a big difference between a powerful effort and effortless power. He is unlocking the secret of that for you here. The only thing I would add to what Mike is saying is this........RELAX!!!!! Don't try so hard. Don't "grip it and rip it.......grip it and whip it." Try it. You'll see. Hey Mike, you've got it buddy, keep it up. Thanks for doing this.

Mike, I changed my grip according to your instructions and cut 7 strokes to my 9-hole round.(41) Thank you for sharing your expertise and knowledge with us. I’ll keep watching!

Thanks Mike. I really appreciate your approach to the game I love. I wish I could afford to have lessons from you.

Mike represents wisdom in golf. Need more like him in and especially outside of golf!

WOW..thanks Mike for this important information. You make it so easy to understand speed. I can't wait to get out and try this out. .Love your videos.

Simply Brilliant, debunking industry myths. Very informative 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Mike thank you so much I've never hit the ball so solid and consistently straight. I am enjoying the game more than ever

outstanding information. I am one of those that uses the body. I recently got a GC2 golf simulator in my home. watched my recorded swing. It looked ridiculous, lol. Just all body with the arms staying stiff. One swing I ended up with my backside to the camera, lol. I hit a driver 190 in the air with as much effort as I can muster. The embarrassment of watching that recorded swing earlier this week was a good precursor to watching this video! Thanks Mike. Going to practice daily on stable body and more arms before getting into the body movements.

Have to add another comment... when I blew my knee out 2 years ago and did more damage to my back ( L3 thru S1), I started to look to make swing changes . Found Austin Shagur-Dunaway. Adopted these old timey swing ideas. Consequently hit the ball longer and straighter than ever. Glad I found your channel, because the way you explain it gets me back there (I strayed last year in pursuit of distance) Keep it coming!😊

Thank you. Mike. The best explanation I've ever heard. The kiss method at it's best.

Thank you! Best golf instruction I have seen in my 4 years searching youtube golf videos this is simple and makes sense!

I did this today and the results were really good, no sore back and I struck the ball well. Thanks Mike

Wow. A lot of great information and keeping it simple how to have speed with Control!

Excellent Mike, so much valuable information, perfectly delivered!

The info in this video is on a par with the wisdom of the legendary Harvey Penick; no mechanics, just concept. I get so tied up in the mechanics of the swing and try to repeat body positions of the pros. I went to the range this day and just swung the club with relaxed arms and let my body do what it has to do to facilitate the weight of the club swinging around my body. Amazing results. Relaxing the arms and letting them swing allowed me to feel swing path for hitting draws, fades or straight shots. I could also feel my hands for hitting low, normal or high shots. Thank you Mr. Malaska for guiding me to find my natural swing.

Hello Mike, watched a lot of your videos and now I can hit my clubs with ease further and straighter than before. You're the best.

tks Mike, at the tender age of 72 you just gave my golf swing a b12 shot. going to the range!

Watched this. Went to the range. Hitting my PW 140 and my 5 wood 210 carry. No effort. Love this guy. Love golf.

Thanks for taking your time to do this. Very helpful

Thank you Mike. The very best instructor.Best wishes from the U K.

You are the best teacher ever!!!!! Thanks.. Everything seems to make sense finally.

This is great , many thanks Sir, I have been taught to be a robot with an over focus on exactly the things you have pointed out as problematic, to the point that I am so concerned with execution that I am contracting everything. This helps me put it all together and.....Relax the chain.

I read a book about athletic training (non sport specific) that provided me a lot of good information for my golf game and one of the statements in that book that has really stuck with me was this; "Relaxed muscles move faster than tense muscles." It is CRITICAL to golf to keep tension out of the arms, shoulders and back. I'm just starting to regularly shoot 80 but I still don't hit the ball very far compared to those I play with and compared to how far I should for my age and fitness level, so this is my main area of focus for next season. I really like this man and the way he communicates, so I am going to follow his methods and see how it goes!

Awesome instruction here. Got my speed back by following this advice!!

Great tutorial Mike, I love this...keep it coming

I can sit hours listening to Mike talking about the golf swing, he is brilliant. Best regards from Sweden.

Good stuff here Mike! You're one of the best out there...thanks for all of the insight!

Thank you very much. I am over 65 years old and new to golf. I found this so good that I watched part 1 and part 2 three times. I have tried all your tricks and it make massive difference.

Great video Mike it's make so much sense were I get in trouble some time I start with my shoulder.

This absolutely fantastic! Thanks for creating sharing this!
