This is gold, I really like the way Travis explains the swing. I'm with him on this, hitting the ball is a result of the rotation of the body and reacting to the weight of the club, makes sense and much easier to create lag.

As a teacher, viewing this entire series of videos has been fantastic. Trevor manages to explain a lot of things in much simpler terms than some others are able to. Very easy to translate to students who aren't bio mechanics majors. Science backs this up. Not everyone will feel it the same way but a large majority of people should benefit in one way, shape or form. Will absolutely help using some of these explanations and drills with my students and will certainly not be afraid to share credit where credit is due.

Great point you are making when you say the more you can get the club shaft perpendicular to the spine the faster you can swing the club head. I think this is a big point that is missed in the minds of many. That is why shallowing out the club (ie.e getting club shaft perpendicular to the spine during the transition ) is so critical to creating club head speed. The faster you can move the shaft by getting it perpendicular to th spine in the downswing, the faster the club head the further the ball goes.

I’m 51 years old and have been playing golf since I was 12. I was a pretty good golfer (weekend golfer) and had a 10 handicap. I’ve never been the long hitter and about 5 years ago got suckered into chasing distance. I decided to fork over some hard earned dough and get lessons. He screwed me up so bad with very odd and hard to do tips/ pointers that I had to stop playing because I literally couldn’t hit the ball anymore with a millions thoughts in my head. I love the game too much to stay away so I tried finding my old swing and keep play, unfortunately I never found it and have been struggling ever since. Fortunately, your guys’s videos on rotation and the movement, the hips, ribs and shoulders should create have made all the difference. I wish I lived in South Florida, so I could take lessons from you. I can’t thank you enough for these wonderful videos.

Trevor is the absolute best. Thank you. Had a golf coach in Malaysia, modest, quiet, most he would say is 'leave it there' - for most 'problems' golfers had 'leave it there' - people would get frustrated with him, they wanted him to play for them, basically, he'd just say 'leave it there' and let them work it out. Loved watching him work, 'leave it there' - you get 'rotation', lag, hip trigger, relaxed wrists the lot. Leave it there haha, thanks guys, your videos are also hilarious 'I threw up on myself' haha. Perfect!

Also find it interesting how ideas work through the golf training community, was just the other day using floppy wrists and 'doing nothing' with my arms and found this, perhaps this is how we all grow as players, it's true as you always stress, it's in the mind. That's a great thing about golf, you can't play if you refuse to listen.

Great video, Eric and Trevor! It seems “float loading” has gotten a bad rep in some instruction circles, but I agree that dynamically loading (and shallowing) using fluid wrists against the weight of the club is the most natural, athletic, and powerful way to swing a golf club. It can feel truly effortless when you get it right. And it can even be done with a pause at the top - look how little Cameron Young’s wrists are set at the top when he takes a slight pause. Most ams try to forcefully put the club in positions, cranking their trail wrist into full extension and keeping it there, instead of just relaxing and letting it “fall” into the right position.

My dear Eric, thank you for this great video. This is exactly this, where I work now in the moment. I play with dead hands, only with my body. I have no slices now, only hooks by bad shots. I´am longer. The transition loading also I try. I must find the exactly moment, where I must start the power and the muscles. Perhaps it is to early now. When I will "fired" with the arms, I sliced.

Excellent instruction with good collaboration. I feel what you’re talking about when I’m hitting well but I couldn’t define it. Now I have a better visual for what I’m trying to accomplish. I think there should be a follow up with how the hips cause this reaction and how the upper body has to get out of the way.

Excellent video! Lag cannot be actively done, rather it is a by-product of other body movements. It is created by throwing the weight of the club-head behind you and then leaving it there while your hips, torso, shoulders and wrists (in that order) come back down first. Do I have it correctly? For me, the reason why this was so hard to understand is that we are constantly told that we need to control the clubhead (path, angle relative to path, speed etc.), but it turns out that lag can only be created by letting go of the clubhead, letting go of a tight grip and letting go of any expectation of where the ball will go. Ironically, it is only after letting go that we can control how we hit the ball and where it will go!

@davecohn6407 Жыл бұрын

The real key to maintain lag until late in the downswing is to initiate the transition via lead hip external rotation which in turn will rotate the the lead knee. About 1/2 of top golfers have their wrists set by 9:00 going back ; almost all the rest do so by the top. There is really no need to float load .

I have been playing golf for a number of years and as I've gotten older I've lost distance. My swing has no lag. I've always swung as hard as possible. Your video makes more sense than any I've seen concerning lag. I think my grip pressure is too much. I've filmed my swing in the past but have not been able to watch in slow motion. Do you have any recommendations for what kind of video software i can use to capture my videos in slow motion? Thanks in advance.

@lesleywillis6177 Жыл бұрын

Please look at the operation of a medieval trebuchet. It’s an upside down golf swing and the release is superb. This is despite not having any control over the “wrist” as there is none, just a loose hinge. If you leave the wrists loose the release will be controlled by the physics of the turn and gravity. This is very important because this release will be the same EVERY TIME. Try to time that with a conscious effort of the wrists. No chance!

I have learned so much from your instruction, but this is confusing. According to AMG guys they say hardly any pro golfers swing like this based on their data. They pointed out that the arms in transition come straight down before the body starts rotating. Also when you were shooting with Malaska he talked about the club wanting to lay down, and tipping the club vertically slightly counteracts that so you’re not getting stuck or dragging the handle. Can you talk about the differences?

The “ precision impact trainer “ does NOT create or maintain lag( radial deviation ) , but helps to train right wrist extension .

@kevinbeardsworth3756 Жыл бұрын

@@davecohn6407 how does it train right wrist extension. It literally make you not extend. You physically can’t because it locks it in place. Thus creating lag. Or stopping early extension. Or early release. Flipping. That’s exactly what this video is about.

Hey Kevin! I hear ya and understand your perspective--my fault.

@davecohn6407 Жыл бұрын

The wrists are capable of 4 movements radial deviation or COCKING Ulnar deviation or UNCOCKING Extension or bending the wrist towards the outside of the forearm Flexion or bending the wrist towards the inside of the forearm . Lag is defined as CREATING and MAINTAINING radial deviation The definition of FLIPPING is having less trail wrist extension ( or less lead wrist flexion ) at impact than at setup.Flipping will cause the clubhead to advance relative to the hands , will add dynamic loft to the clubhead at impact even as it closes the clubface . Flipping will move the low point of your swing back in your stance , thus making it impossible to compress the ball towards the center grooves As I mentioned before , everyone must lose their lag or UNCOCK their wrists at impact or else the club head will pass above the ball The “precision impact trainer “locks your right wrist into extension , but unlike previous aids , it allows golfers to cock and uncock their wrists . Maintaining right wrist extension is the OPPOSITE of flipping . The argument against the” precision impact trainer “is that it artificially locks your right wrist into extension and does not carry over into a swing without the “ precision impact trainer “. Many of us have gone down the road of float loading , while very few have successfully incorporated it into their swings . There is a reason why so few pros float load . It is not necessary in better players , even in those with more lag, because top pros sequence their lower body first .

@davecohn6407 Жыл бұрын

Sergio is possibly the worst model imaginable for those of us who lack his talent Sergio has always been a great driver of the ball . But he tees it up very low , hits the ball low and sometimes takes a divot in front of the ball with a driver because he hits so much down on the ball. Teeing the ball low and hitting so much down will work for only a very, very small % of golfers
