The over head shot is the one! That helps out so so much. The best instructive video on youtube bar none. Thank you.

I am 76 years old, have a 5 handicap, and am working toward zero by mid summer. I've seen a plethora of videos from many instructors. This has to be one of the best, if not the best and most useful instruction I've seen, period. You have outdone yourself, Zach.

"Really important.... the golfclub be traveling in an ellipse. ...it means the clubhead comes from inside the target line, back inside (the target line).... hands are working in a circle...they are going back, in, and up..all at the same time." Halleluiah brothers and sisters. I'm 72 and get my handicap into single digits by mid-summer. I also still have all but a dozen of all of the Golf Digests and Golf Magazines since 1973. My semi-crazy point is that I have seen it all, including the cottage industry of KZfaq PGA pros showing how they swing without really showing what it actually would look like to us, if we swung that way. Keep in mind there has never been a revenue reason to make golf simple, and sell less lessons and less magazines. Zach's overhead camera angle is just about revolutionary. Virtually nobody has ever attempted to teach golf from the student's perspective. It is always taught from the Instructor's perspective. "Do what I just did" and we're supposed to do it, without any idea what it is like from the pilot's seat. Bravo Zach Allen.

I understand and agree with the irons . Will this be the same swing and feeling you should have with a driver. I look forward to your response

This video is the best illustration of what the swing path should be. I have been trying this method and it really has lowered my score from the mid 100’s to my lowest score of 88. I am new to the game of golf and this method has really allowed me to dedicate more time to practice and enjoy the game more. It also has given me confidence to swing all clubs. If I hit a bad shot I can usually get back on track because I know that with this swing I will probably be able to get the ball back in play.

Excellent Zach! This is what a lot of guys are trying to teach in 15 minute videos, you explained it better than any of them in 5 minutes!!

Wow.. This has to be one of the best golf tutorial videos I’ve ever seen. Truly shows the swing path and hand positioning through the entire swing. Awesome video.

That's a great explanation on how the club and hands work through the golf swing .

The hand movement is a new thought for me. The ellipse concept is great. my initial practice in the backyard shows better contact and more distance. I can't wait to see if I can take this to the course!! The interesting thing is that I have played golf for many years and seen many a video about golf swings and this is the first time I've seen this explanation and demonstration concerning the movement of the hands in this manner GREAT Thanks Zach

Wonderful video. People always talk about club path , but seeing it from above makes it so much clearer. I'm going out tomorrow to hit my irons much better! Thanks Zach

Allen, great video and even better instruction. I paid for far too many lessons and not once did they explain what you did in less than ten minutes. I immediately took this outside and found that my draw and apex improved. Thank You!

I consider myself a serious golfer, meaning I believe knowledge is the key, and I practice a lot. This method is the opposite of most teaching. The swing path is either down the line, or outside the line with the hip turn squaring the club face is mostly taught. It just shows how complicated the golf swing can be. I like this analogy. It shows there's different ways and perspectives to getting the club face square consistently and with power. I've always said... it's never just one thing that makes your swing, or putt wrong. It's a constant search.

Zach, never seen you videos before and this one came at just the right time for me to make minor adjustments to my swing. Great presentation with the rearward view and overhead cameras.

Addressing specifically to the title of "what Good Golfers See", should be to note the forward lean of the clubshaft at impact so the rotation of the hands will be beyond the line of sight to the ball, whether the swing procedure has a full wrist role as he is alluding to here (swinging) with the club coming back up the angle, or a half wrist role (hitting) with the club following farther down the target line instead. Very important, and not discussed here is the role of the pivot in causing the rotation. The drill is good in that it allows precise practice through impact where the player can focus emphasis on the feel of the 4 power accumulators working, and the 4 pressure points, again, driven by the rotation of the pivot. The last point would be to refer to ball placement, that being to get a good visual that the ball is located under the hinge that is the left shoulder. Playing the ball from under the hinge always, is the one constant when dealing with flat, uphill and downhill lies. Regards, Jess Doyle

I can’t think of anyone who explained the larger picture than what you just did. I have pieces of hands go left, swing from the inside, throw the club down the target line, take away down the target line, and my favorite; don’t swing hard until you reach last parallel. Now I understand how these pieces fit together and how some just don’t apply. Bonus: the physics make sense as well.Thank you.

The thing this video shows very clearly is the difference between the CLUBHEAD path and the HAND/GRIP-path. I used to think those were more or less the same, which obviously isn't. I'm one of those inside to outside swingers. Recently completely changed because of this video. I always said to people that THE best view of the golfswing is from the top, as your computer (brain/eyes) is situated there. In this video everything comes together. Thanks Zach

This video was excellent and was a Eureka moment for me.Showed exactly what hands were doing in the swing and the slingshot effect that this has on the club head.It was a missing link in my game and I am already enjoying the extra yards and accuracy it has given me 👍🏌🏻‍♂️

I went from over the top and hitting big slices to swing inside out and hitting big hooks. Now If only I could put the two together! This is just what I needed thanks

I was wondering how to achieve an in-to-out path during impact when my shoulders are already partially open at impact. Your instruction really made a lot of sense. I’m surprised this is the first time I’ve watched this concept. I think this is more important than other “swing tips” and yet not really commonly emphasized in golf instruction channels.

Really good video outlining the hugely important role of the clubhead path. If you get this right, so many things fall into place. Outstanding lesson thanks.

Hi thanks for dis video great information now I don't have to work on all dis manipulate from over the top or swing inside out and I have tried swing down THE line but after watching your video I can feel the proper swing arc

Keep coming back to this lesson when I need to get back on track with my game 👍🏌🏻‍♂️

First time I have seen a video from this perspective and will give it a shot- thanks

That was an excellent illustration. Thank you.

Excellent video thank you. It was succinct and well presented.

Great stuff yet again Zach. You always give good tips and explanations.

Great video with the split screen showing the overhead view. Totally makes a very complex subject clear. This split screen presentation is something you should stick with. Well done.

Great video that illustrates the correct swing path to make the best strike on the ball.

This lockdown time i learnt more in technique than in the last 10 years .

I had a problem with hooks. But after a lesson I have every problem in the book. Never had a push or a slice but now I have that. I'm trusting your videos to help me

Great work and explanation 👍

When I started concentrating on my hand path and not the clubhead hitting the ball everything fell into place. From setup to top of backswing to a full follow through the hands really have to travel quite a distance. I took many practice swings just concentrating on my hands and grip taking that path always leading the clubhead. I would use my peripheral vision to follow my hands and grip as they moved with my rotating torso. When I got to hitting practice shots I no longer looked the ball at all. Just the same focus on my hands and grip. Lo and behold the clubhead always got directly back to the ball without even trying. I now have great tempo and a full follow through and my transition is not rushed at all. Trying to consciously hit the ball with the clubhead was a big mistake and short circuited all the things I improved by focusing on just my hand path and rotation.

Oh my gosh what you said make so much sense! I have been pulling the ball lately and this explains so much... that i am going beyond that target line! Thank you for putting this video together. I'm sure the setup for the video was not trivial.

Since I took up golf 6 years ago I’ve been trying to fathom the correct swing path of the club. Pity I hadn’t seen this video on day one as it would have saved me a years of negatory effort and fruitless experimentation. Despite watching hundreds of hours of tuition videos shot horizontally it never occurred to me that the club moved in this way. I fear I would never have twigged it had I not stumbled into this overhead view. Thanks Zach.

This vid is brilliant ,Zach , thanks form Argentina -Miguel

this is exacty the video i am looking for, best explaniation for club path ever thanks

New to the channel. Great video. Thank you - very very useful.

This tip is more important then words can say. I’m guessing that at least 85 percent of recreational golfers need to work on this. Love the overhead view of the swing path. You get a 10 for this video, thank you!

Brilliant video, Zach.

11 out of 10 video Zach! I’ve been struggling with swinging to right field and I can hit far, but I’m just too inconsistent with the strike and misses (especially heel strikes from the push out move). I tried this visualization, and my striking and consistency changed for the better immediately!

That's a very interesting n helpful perspective

One of the best golf videos I've seen!! Thank you!! This "unclogs" a lot of misguided and unclear concepts/swing thoughts stored in my head esp. on hand path. I'm participating in a mini tournament in 3 hours and I'm so tempted to implement this already 'cause I trust the idea; but I also know I should study and drill this down first. Oh, golf. 😂

Great video!

Really love this top down view. I've watched hundreds of videos and this has so much good information. Nice work

Excellent video, the overhead view is a real eye opener, I finally understand the correct path of the club as I see it 👍

can't wait to try this out! new subscriber

Great vid Zach.

One of the best videos I have ever seen!!! Thank you.

FINALLY! Someone else did this! I remember seeing the Tiger video too. It was the biggest AHA moment I ever had. When I first started swinging the club....... I was setting up correctly, I had good grip, I just didn't know how to aim. That's when the bad men entered my life. Yes. The bad men that stand behind you and tell you what to do. Don't listen to those people. They'll destroy you as a human being because they get more satisfaction out of watching you fail and pay money than actually play good golf and enjoy life a bit. It's all at our finger tips now. KZfaq is HUGE. You can distinguish good teachers from the bad money hungry bastards out there really easy. Just listen to what they say... if it sounds like the last video you listened to, SKIP IT AND GO TO SOMETHING ELSE. You have to try EVERYTHING in this game. Even if you think you look funny, sound weird, don't hit the ball good right away, eventually if you keep grinding... focusing on feels and what those feels produce... you'll get it. I promise. It's easy to do, but very difficult to learn. It's a party trick. If you try to make that club go down the line like a lot of people say... you'll soon find out that there is no fun in it. Try this. You know how they say keep the arm straight right? Well ... mess around with that lead arm a bit. Adjust your body until you get it so your arm is easily going back straight. The secret to it is... don't watch the clubface right away. Just try and get that lead arm straight back with no effort. It feels like for me...... that i'm sweeping a hockey puck across the ice. It could be totally different for the next guy... so it's up to you to find out how to get that lead arm coming back straight and keeping straight until you pull the trigger.

Excellent!

Just exactly what I’m looking for. The question s been around my head. Thanks

This is it…. The most unique and helpful golf instruction video ever! From one of your old DeBell students, you knocked it out of the park! Nice job Zack! Same thing with a Driver?

seeing the proper swing path from overhead is eye opening. please do one for each club with regular and slow motion. bookmarking this one.

This was very helpful. Clearly presented. Thanks!

Zach, interesting video with good information. Thanks. I really think your work with the pressure pads beneath your feet was ground breaking and insightful.

Wow! great video

Great explanantion and the overhead view makes your video so much more informative.

Love it!

Unique video! Excellent

Game changer for me thanks mate

Great visual

Good stuff!

Incredible. I like others have watched all kinds of videos calling to flip or pronate the wrists etc...this is the first time in 2 years of watching videos showing the actual professional hand, arm and club head movement. The most significant visual here is that your contact is not perpendicular on the ball at contact. You are clearly showing an angled club head contact which ONLY works if the hands lead the arch of the club. WHY hasn't anyone ever pointed out that we line up with the club perpendicular to the ball but we don't actually strike the ball that way. We LEAD with the heel, blade the ball and cast the ball upwards and forwards off the angle of contact.

Excellent 👍

Best drill ever. I love this tip. It works like magic.

Good one.

Great video.

Makes a lot of sense. Years ago I used what I think was THE best training tool, the Explanar which is one of those swing rings which keeps you and plane and very quickly reinforces what Zach is referring to. Had to sell the dang thing because I moved to a smaller place tho!

This is an epic golf tutorial! This has cleared up most of my confusing thoughts on the golf swing. There is no way I will not subscribe after this video. You have a new fan. Keep it up and more power!

Thanks🎉

Hi Zack, I am working with the same stuff with my swing. I have a tendency of pull my right elbow to in causing me to be flat with the backswing, I remedying that by keeping my elbow in front of my body. But my problem has been heel hits and open club face, with my irons I do get some draws and straight shots, but my driver is where my bad shots are slices , good shots are straight, will pull some shots also. Do you try to close the club face aka bowing your wrist more during the swing.

I tried keeping my hands moving around my body back and upward on my forward swing of my short pitch shots and it helped me make more solid contact and avoid scooping motion thru the ball.

You are the best instructor. Keep it simple, right? I have introduced you to a lot of my friends.

Good video at the right time for me as well. I'm 64 playing off 7 and I don't play for fun, I play golf to get better. That seems odd to some people but it's the challenge to improve I find exciting.

Most golf swing videos are so fast it's hard to see what's happening with the body, hands and clubface. I've never seen a swing explained so well as this. The best part of this type of swing is how the club face remains facing the target longer, brilliant.

I subbed just for the heck of it

Very nice

The overhead view is extremely helpful.

Great work Zach…

The greatest tip ever!!!!!!!!!

Nice one

Liked and subbed when you explained the 2:30 a 3:00 part about straight through or circle

Intend to keep right palm facing the sky from top of BS through impact. The kinematic sequence ie proximal to distal acceleration then deceleration) will allow the turning torso to square the clubface(inside quadrant of the ball) and keep butt of the club(left hand) turning in arc up and behind our left hip.(Parametric acceleration. 2001, K.Miura)

spine socketshift to right a couple inches, pull everything up, let it drop for hinge, release whip feeling for pushoff extension twist to target.

NICE

Very helpful and innovative description. I find the urge to "hit" or "swing" is difficult to delay until my hands are down in front of the right leg. Any advice?

Thank you

Can you do something similar for driver?

Great visual from overhead. Any possible drills to ingrain the proper club head travel? One that comes to mind would be to prop up a sheet of plywood and inch outside the ball so that if the club head traveled too far outside it would hit the plywood but not damage the club. Now that would be feedback LOL

Hi do u have this illustration with driver

Awesome view I’m the guy that will push or hook the ball now I know why Thank you

Great video Zach. Very useful info. Also, how are you getting younger?

love this, I feel like I stick the handle of the club into my thigh and hit the ball so solid

My iron swing almost looklike this,my ball flight is lower and get more ball speed, but i can’t do it good in my driver, i have very low launch in driver, maybe my low point or my driver swing has something wrong Did you have top view video like this but driver swing?

One of the key things you did not go over from that visual of Tiger is how he had an intermediate target. I wonder if he did it like Jack? Can you go over this?

This is almost exactly what I was working on 2 days ago in my lesson locally. Along with keeping my trail foot planted longer and not standing up on my trail toes in downswing. However when I took this to range and course yesterday, I was hitting blocks out right all day. Any tips on squaring the face more?

Sub’d 🤙🏾😎

Thank you......that was awesome. So much easier to understand from a players view.

Brilliant video Zach. All beginner golfers, and plenty more besides, should be shown this.

Is this true for pitch shots and other shot game strokes?
