Hands down, this guy is one of the best tutors on youtube for golf. His videos has helped me alot. Keep up the great content 👏

This is the first time I've ever heard this. This makes so much sense.

Struggled with this on and off for years. FINALLY, you've explained it in a way that makes sense. HUGE HELP thank you!!!

Jonathan, I’ve been bouncing around YT instructions for a while. I’ve decided to concentrate my efforts on improving my swing with your instructions. It is straight forward and to the point. Thanks for the great information!

Well done young man! Great check points and your reasoning and explanations make sense. I’m 71 yrs old now and lost a lot of my flexibility and length. I was a 7 handicap in my youth and could have been better, had I just been an average putter. Now I’m a 16 handicap. Have really been struggling with my irons the last 3-4 years. I truly believe this video you made will help me strike the ball cleaner! Many thanks!

I almost bought a membership to performance golf and stumbled upon JKM. WOW...he is so clear and on target with his instructions. Thank you!

so glad to see you posting videos again!!! Please keep them coming!

Jonathan's videos are so helpful! He explains the different elements of a golf swing in a clear and concise way that allows you to easily follow along, visualize it, and put it in to your practice. Best instructor on KZfaq that I have seen! Thanks Jonathan!

Another gem 💎 for beginner series, thank for the great video, I have been overloading my entire life. 😅

Great tip!! This is exactly my issue. Overly flat backswing with driver club path usually around 6° in to out. Had a lesson two days ago and my instructor is working on getting me between 2-3° in to out so I can still easily hit my draw, but eliminating my occasional low, screaming hooks. Hands above trail heel is an excellent visual check! This plays right into my most recent lesson! Thanks!

Very informative ~ bent trail arm at the top is actually caused by overloading the lead arm. So true and so helpful, thank you.

This is totally me!! The best video I found so far on explaining the flat backswing addressing my issue)! Thank you so much Jon!!

Exactly what I do at the moment. Thank your so much for bringing that to my mind. Also loving the visual identifiers you are pointing out. This way I can relate to some video footage of my own swings much easier. You are my number one teacher now! 🙌

Thank you Jonathan, amazing video.

thank you , very helpful. The ' split hands drill " has also helped me stop wrapping the lead arm around the chest.

This one definitely rang true for me. Great video, this really simplified thing for me. Thanks

thankyou jonathan, this is an essential component to keep an eye on from now on 👍

Thanks Jonathan you just helped me understand why I’ve being either pushing my shots or doing crazy pulls. Very well explained. Again.

7:46 This is the video I’ve been looking for. This just explained my swing and Why I over hook. Great job

This makes a lot of sense! Will try this drill out next time out. Great video!

Wow this is exactly my issue. Thank you!

I believe I'm coming way too much from the inside. Next time at the range I'm going to practice this golf drill. Thanks, loved your video.

Thank you for the breakdown. That small detail of having the butt of the club on or just a little off the right heel is a perfect check point. As a player that has a lot of flexibility with my hip turn, my swing tends to maximize its hip rotation but also takes the swing off its natural path, that check point will manage the rotation and keep the end point of my back swing consistent. Can you add another segment for transition from end of the top of the swing to downswing? What is the best trigger to initiate the downswing?

Was watching this tutorial today and can't wait to get out to the range to try this out, was watching some of my own video lips and my arms are definitely guilty of this, lesdsrm pretty much horizontal to the ground. Have been working on getting rid of a nasty slice but I think that might have caused me to overcompensate and exaggerate the inside path. Excellent video, subscribed.

This is 100% my problem, excellent video JKM!

I think this is exactly what’s been going wrong with my irons thanks great video

👍🏻great content! Thank you so much!

Thanx. Makes sense 👍

Big thanks for all of your advice in the videos.ill definitely try this because I over draw/ hook my irons.

I have this problem so thanks for your video! I also come way across the line at the top of my backswing. Will this help with that as well?

Let’s go JKM!

i think this is gonna help because i have this problem, thnx.

Needed this!!! Thanks JKM 🙌 More course vlogs too 😁👍

I’m guilty of this. Thanks for the tip

Brilliant , thank you Jonathan, this combined with the chicken wing video, have set me on the correct swing path .. many thanks ..

Have this same issue and I've been working hard on correcting it (have around a 7-10 degree in to out swing with irons). A lot of it comes from an inside take-away, the natural transition is to take the club way back behind me from there. Have had to correct my take away and then get the feeling my trail arm is staying more "in front of my body" rather then getting under/behind me during the backswing - that is what I would suggest to people.

púh right or hook = exactly my problems, thanks so much

Great video.....This is me but my hands are very low.

This is exactly my problem. However, I manage to come in to out because I turn my shoulders early to make contact. In my stack and tilt journey, I`v been think the more the better. The result has been to much of everything. Im still struggling with too much tilt :-).

It's like you just saw my swing. This is my big fault and I have worked at it. However, when I get into the better position, I hit nothing but pulls or pull draws as I my hands and club feel so "out" and near the ball line. From this new and alien position, what is the new matchup I need for the downswing? I haven't seen any video on this fault before, great topic thanks!

Hi Jonathan, how about focusing on the right elbow going vertically upwards?

Could this also result in a shank from getting stuck? If so would love some tips

Congrats on the new golf simulator

This is exactly my problem. I wish I had watched this first... I started practising hitting down as I first saw your channel. Because I have been pushing my lead arm so much, after two weeks of hitting down practice my left shoulder really hurts (too much pulling at the back of the joint). I have also watched your other video about insufficient body extension during back swing. That was the reason why I didn't have enough room of body rotation, hence I had been pushing to achieve more up swing in the past year, hitting the ground and hooking all the time. Thanks for all the great videos I wish I had carefully watch all of them earlier, but it's been too late. Hope to get some face to face lessons with you next time I visit Singapore. Any plan to be in Hong Kong?

Great video, have you tried a laser pointer aid on the butt of the club to track swing points? Any thoughts ?

this has been my problem for years ever since I tried to copy sergio's swing or pretend to shallow out the club. I always loop my arms way inside and crashed into my body.

Jonathan. should the right arm also be parallel with the alignment stick in the follow through?

Like everyone who has already commented, I think you have precisely addressed my main fault. I am going to try a better posture in the setup to prevent this from happening.

This hardest training drills 🫣 been practicing bad habits for many years overloading because lack self confidence .

This fixes a lot of problems like

Great vid thanks. Hugely helpful as I definitely know I do this to some degree (whereas most vids I couldn't tell you if that's a fault of mine). I swing right handed although I'm very left hand dominant, so my left arm wants to load to provide all the power. So I usually inadvertently then overcorrect this error as soon as I start my downswing and my miss is low and left (by somehow even from this low starting position coming over the top)

Thanks Jonathan, this is my biggest problem, but rather than come from the inside, I reroute over the top. All In all, I make it work (6.3 index), but it’s definitely holding me back from getting any better. My biggest problem is when I try to drill to keep the arm along the line of the alignment stick, I tend to feel totally disconnected (almost like there is a huge gap between my bicep and chest). That feels weak and wrong. Ive seen a ton of pros, and none have helped me correct it. Are you up for the challenge? Happy to try your online lessons out. What do you think?

This is totally me.

Probably why I sometimes block it right.

I have this problem, but only with my driver... same type of things to work on? Or does it differ with the driver?

I lost my swing badly over the last 6 months or so of intermittent fall/winter play. Just beginning to get it back on track. However, I'm lacking power somehow. If I hit a good shot with, say, an 8 iron it makes good contact, sounds crisp and great, takes off nice and high but I struggle to get to 120 yards. With an 8! I'm 45 years old, in good shape, lift weights regularly so I'm fairly strong. I know it's difficult/impossible to diagnose without seeing my swing but wondering if there's any "obvious" ideas out there, if anyone else has had this problem. All my shots coming up way short even if I make great contact.

Excessive lead arm adduction is typically caused by an arm-sy swing and a failure to lift the arms and rotate the thorax simultaneously.

I appreciate this tip but I have two problems. 1) I can do this but during the transition my arm just goes across and my left elbow flares out (looks like an overswing). 2) Is if I do it really slow the club feels so far in front of me that I shank it. This game is so hard haha.

Will it be the same swing with all the long clubs as well?

For someone who fight an out to in swing for years, this looks like a happy problem 😄

when my take away is too inside and hands get deep, I come over the top. Why?

I've been struggling with a very high attack angle (~8 degrees on 7 iron), causing my ball to start low and spin high (sort of a stinger shot). Which makes it very difficult to hit a driver, is there any solution to this? Thanks Jonathan

To solve this problem, the arm and shoulder must move in sync

This video seems slightly inconsistent with the half swing video. In that one, it is recommended that the hands are over the back pocket at the halfway back point and the left arm slightly inside parallel whereas in this one, the hands are recommended to be in front of the chest and the left arm more parallel. Any reason for this difference Jonathan?

I do this this and I just end up hitting massive slices

I always like your video’s I found this one confusing

Dino too much

Imagine someone telling Ben hogan, Sam Snead, Bobby Jones that their takeaway was too deep.. Golf instruction is trash these days…

Please get a new mic

This is not suitable for keeping the clo under the right shoulder of a flatter swing . Am not in favour of lifting the club above right shoulder . Bad video Am ready to unsubscribe

Another factor is too flat a shoulder plane at the top. Too much hand depth can be lessened somewhat by having a steeper shoulder plane on backswing?
