I've seen Pete Cowen talk about each of those points at one time or another, but have drifted away from them from time to time. I'd say sticking with them and continually drilling them into habit is a key lesson to be learned. Like Pete has said at other times people would benefit from doing the drills 15 minutes every day - but they don't stick with it. Spinning the right arm down is a challenging concept for many to understand. While maybe a bit too simplistic the better way to think about it to start might be to just think of throwing the hand/arm down. Towards the rear foot/instep for a draw, under the belly for straight, and toward the front foot/instep for the fade. One of the questions to the spiral movement is often how much of a diagonal to turn on. Would coiling on a 45* angle with the spiral help other stuff move at 45* as well? One concern with the equal and opposite pressure is how can we keep that good downward pressure without pulling our shoulders out in front of us and rounded? It's much better to be retracted with the shoulders, and have the triceps to the side of the chest (I think there are a lot of good videos showing Rory Mcilroy's arms in this position) as opposed to having the arms pulled forward and lying on top of the chest. Key takeaways: Setup with equal and opposite pressure on the grip/club handle (and try to maintain it - at least throughout the backswing), Spiral the body diagonally both up and down, and throw the hands/arms under the shoulders/body from the top down to impact. Those sound good, or would you tweak the wording to keep the concepts from diverging in the wrong direction? I'm glad I watched this video.

@DanaKong-yr4ev Ай бұрын

Andy, first off thanks for all the great content. This video working with Pete Cowen is certainly gold. My take on Pete’s spinning arm move….at the delivery position Pete talks about which is P6, the humerus/upper arm is in external rotation while the forearm is in a position of supination. From that position if you stay in external rotation of the humerus (a must!) and pronate the forearm into impact, that’s Pete’s spinning arm move. And what you’ll notice is if your upper arm is in external rotation and you pronate the forearm into impact, the right wrist automatically goes into extension, which is keeping that wrist bent back that Pete mentions. And you know if you’ve done it right at the finish your upper arm will be pinned against your chest and in that external rotation position while your forearm will be in the pronated position with the wrist in extension. Does that sound right to you Andy? I think it’s tricky in the sense that the upper arm is effectively rotated clockwise while the forearm spins down counterclockwise. But the beauty is you get the extension for free if you keep the upper arm in external rotation while pronating the forearm into impact.

The cack handed drill demonstrated here and in a similar video he did with Danny Maude has really helped me get the feeling at the top of the swing. Also insane how continuing through the swing it gets my lower body open and lead hip out of the way. Just can't replicate that position with normal grip yet. Based on the comments the level of detail has divided the audience Andy but if KZfaq fans are fed a diet of quick fixes and 5 mins vids then something like this will always land different. Personally I'm a fan of detail and like this. Pete did mention at around 17 mins the idea of more width in the downswing, then demonstrated getting narrow by moving the trail elbow adjacent to his ribs as a poor position. This position is heavily coached so I'd be keen to see you do a follow up video in simpler terms how this width is meant to be created. Great insight though, plus your opening iron shots looked better than a 2/10 😂

The twist the towel drill and spiral feel has transformed my swing. I actually feel a slight loop in the back and through swing. Just a whole new feel with better consistency. The opposing forces in the grip allows for a connection to the club and body. I have never had a squat or dip in my swing because I was flipping and early extending with my light grip pressure and stall. Two way miss or worse. Great content and even better intuitive wisdom. I am actually able to work the ball both ways. Cut is still not ideal on demand but a work in progress. The baby draw and needed over draw are now almost automatic. Thanks again!

Hello. I think this to solve this confusion. Does it mean that you rotate your forward left or right? Imagine opening a doorknob? Would you open it going counter clockwise or clockwise? Some pros advise shallowing the club which in turn, means opening the doorknob to the right (clockwise)!!! However, this explanation from Peter seems to be suggesting to rotate the forearm toward the left (counter clockwise)? It this correct? Is it counter clockwise?

Hi Andy, linking it also to your transition video a few weeks ago - I've always wondered, what happens to the left arm/what should it be doing in a full swing when you incorporate Pete's drill and the right elbow spins down? Do you twist/bow the left wrist as well on the way down? Do you keep it to the right, infront, close to your body, start extending up or keep its level/height etc. Thanks!

'shaft pressure and club face pressure' at impact, that's the holy grail. I think the rest is the same biomechanical action as taking an axe to a tree - on a steeper plane. The feet together drill is one of the best drills in golf, gets you swinging the club, instead of hitting the ball. My coach, the same guy who taught Grant Waite, Craig Perks - also, taught them that drill first. Good video, thanks.

I'm surprised to see so many compliments on this video. Don't get me wrong, I'm here because I like your style and especially want any nuggets that Pete has to forgoe. Unfortunately, per usual, his explanations are very esoteric. Most of this video is talking. This forearm spinning down is still difficult to understand because it's complex and not just the forearm spinning down. We need more than a few drills to understand exactly where are the wrist elbow and arm situated through the downswing. I'm looking at the video and just cannot replicate it comfortably. The other example, was his concept of loading for a draw or fade. Never got it and neither did the guys presenting it (I'll provide you the links if you don't know what I mean). Another example is the axe drill. Every teacher has a different take for them. I actually think I've got this one: it's actually the idea of loading the shoulders, pure and simple, such that the last part of the backswing is that tension and also the trigger but maybe that's my feel.

@andycartergolf 6 ай бұрын

My golf tips are interpretations of what Pete coaches. I coach in the way pete does but use different language to help ams who dont really understand. That is also why I pushed Pete a little on what the feeling would be like if you were to try it. Too many of you are hung up on the terminology and youve not tried the dry drills or the feels to then build your own interpretation. Also you may not physically be able to do it… we are all built different. So that could be another alternative. I struggle with it because I cant get a good enough top of the backswing due to a shoulder Injury for example

@einstu 6 ай бұрын

@@andycartergolf Thanks for the answer Andy. I know it's very time-consuming. Pete, needs to step down from his "greatest coach in the world" status and talk to us normally. I know you struggled to make this clear and usually, you are very clear. In this video, I don't see the spinning forearm drills that make this clear for me. I do a lot of this video learning, but maybe I'm just uncoordinated in this case. The point is I am personally disappointed and it's more related to Pete Cowen's lack of ability to be clear to the mortal golfers.

@andycartergolf 6 ай бұрын

Pete doesn't coach mortal golfers, he's spent his career coaching the best in the world. He gives his info and coaches like me who do understand it translate it to the amateurs whom I coach daily. Spinning the forearm is certainly a complexed terminology, i dont agree but to understand it takes time. KZfaq is full of quick fix rubbish so it's difficult to differentiate good coaches from bad and lazy ones!

Andy, I have read a lot of the comments and I along with many here have a hard time with Peters' instructions. I realize he's getting to old to do full swing drills just to show us what he means but I get the feeling that he does not really want to bare his own faults. Watching Danny Maude struggle with these instructions about "spinning the forearm-down" is just rubbish. The arms are connected to the body, lets not make things more complicated than they are already by independently moving wrists and hands etc. etc. There is one little secret I picked up and that is one I will work on. Peter only lightly mentions it in another older video and it shows a split screen with Rory demonstrating it. Has to do with applying pressure with the trailing hand into the leading hand. If you check your hand position at impact you will notice that your trail hand starts moving away (actually splitting away) from the leading hand...why, because may players were taught to lead with the leading hand thereby doing a lot of pulling. At impact that trail hand actually comes a little loose. By pressing the trail hand into the leading hand thumb which is at this point covered by the right palm you create a tremendous amount of of pressure at impact onto the ball. This is where pros find all that power. Watch Rory, his right hand (trailing hand) is pressing pretty firmly on that leading hand and lagging like crazy ala Johnny Miller, probably the best iron player ever.
