Best explanation by way of demonstration I have ever witnessed of a proper down swing sequence that is so important for consistency and power.
I love that you bring other instructors onto your channel, there's so much information out there and different instructors have different ways to explain. I've had instruction with teachers and they were trying to explain things but I wasn't understanding but another teacher would explain the same thing in a different way and it clicks. I really appreciate how he speaks about the swing in relation to the spine, well done sir👍
A great lesson.
Whenever I implement hip rotation it results in a pretty hefty slice, have not found a way to fix that
What I liked here was the posture at address ! This to me was the crucial element of the whole lesson. Without the correct bending towards the ball, not sort of locking the back with the butt out posture was my biggest takeaway, plus of course the relationship between the arm speed to body speed being so much faster.
Swing implies conscious effort. The golf swing really is the backswing. A good back swing automatically ensures a proper downswing. Teaching the dowinswing by itself in my view is confusing and incorrect
This a really good one. I have a question: when should the lead knee straighten in the downswing?
Trevor looks FABULOUS!!!
There is not one golf swing. There are several ways to swing. (See best players). When will you invite Mike Adams ?
Absolute nonsense
Thanks for the video, Eric. One thing I didn't see in the video (or in the comments thus far) is any mention of this man's takeaway. He hovers the clubface and brings it over the ball at the beginning of his swing. 30 years of playing. I've never seen anything like it. If I never saw a tour player do this, I have to question if this is practical. Your thoughts Eric/viewers?
Some basic kinesiology
A “ normal spine “ is defined as the position of the spine in which the 3 spines ( lumbar , thoracic , cervical ) are aligned with normal spinal curvatures -lumbar ( inward or lordosis )
Thoracic ( outward or kyphosis)
Cervical( lordosis)
A “ normal spine” is the position of the spine which both maximizes mobility and minimizes injuries .
Deviations from a “ normal spine “ will reduce mobility and increase the chances of injuries .
The position of the spine suggested by your accompanying pro involves posterior pelvic rotation or tucking the pelvis .It will cause the tailbone ( coccyx) to move down and forward and moves the lumbar spine into flexion .It shortens the hamstrings , lengthens the quads and places the abs into a “crunch position”.
While some think that such movement will activate the glutes ,it actually will cause chronic tightening of the gluteal muscles , external hip rotation and weakens the pelvic floor muscles .
In essence “ tucking the pelvis forces the spine into a position that contradicts the idea of a “ neutral spine “
Just like nobody would recommend tucking the pelvis when doing “dead lifts”, no golfer should tuck their pelvis at golf setup.
Rotation in the golf swing should focus only on the thoracic spine with a “ normal spine” as the all important foundation .
I have attempted this for years, the art of separation. I just can't seem to get it to work with any power whatsoever
What a great lesson on sequencing.
One of the harder things to get right. It isn’t easy but thanks for the lesson
Thanks Eric! That dude was cool! (yes, I'm 61 and loved him)
No sure why you labeled the video as the reason amateurs cant swing like Pro's. There are tons and tons of amateurs that swing as well as Pro's do.
Alligator jaws? You normally do a tremendous job of explaining the key teaching points, but I was totally lost during this segment, and I think it was a very important teaching point.
Yeah, my limit is 5 sticks attached if I'm actually hitting a golf ball.
Yeah… I don’t know about that. First of all, that impact position is demonstrably wrong. The shoulders are square to just slightly open at impact. I doubt anyone would argue that. This coach has his shoulders like 90 degrees open in his impact position. His idea of bending at the thoracic and not at the pelvis is going to send people to the hospital. That’s… not how it works. Ask a kinesiologist to correct that. That’s his one non negotiable? I feel for his students. Look at his swing, he’s bending exactly how he says not to bend. The figure skater doesn’t do wha he says. The pitcher only does it before he starts his motion. Alligator jaws? Lo Mein from China? Clear as mud.
I have watched countless videos in an effort to improve my body rotation in the downswing to no avail. This is the first time I've seen such a great explanation of the pivotal movements in the downswing step by step. Went and practiced in my living room and felt the results immediately. I finally understood the problem was me locking my lower back thinking it was the correct posture when it wasn't. Now I feel like I'm almost rounding my back, and dropping my arms as dead weight in the setup to feel every rotational position. Amazing video!
After this It seems i ll find a way to break my pelvis first before the rip cage
Gangkis looks and sounds weird in this video
how to deploy the right side bend is the missing link
This is great stuff!
Eric do you know how hard that swing is for guys 40 and older ? I have always looked at Louie Oostheizen on how balanced he is through the golf swing and I can only speak for myself I use to turn and try to do what this guy is saying and I was going backwards, I played baseball as a kid and in high school and after 16 inch softball a Chicago game . His swing is for a young guy have you ever seen Jack Nicklaus do this? No I have found my power again by doing this with my hips instead of turning I heard Rory in a video say on the downswing he gets his knee out of the way by bringing it back so I have incorporated that on both the backswing and downswing which gives me great balance and I also do what Pete Cowan says on going to the top I do his hands going in opposite directions I get massive power doing this . I am not trying to debunk this guy he seems like a good guy but his body movements on the downswing I will be in traction and with no power . A Baseball pitcher usually from 20-35 has way better movements being that young ..
Sure I can do that at 63
Thanks for introducing Trevor. I have always like Milo Line’s teaching and Trevor's stuff is very much on the same page. Always good to hear/see different ways to say the same things!
AMG just did a video basically talking about how 'wrong' this stuff he's talking about is. Funny how you can have different people taking completely opposite stances on things, armed with supposed biological evidence of the correctness of their methods. How many pros setup to the ball the way he talks about, is it just Wolff?
Trevor is a lithe and flexible as a seal. Not sure an 81 year old who is too thick in the middle can achieve the amount of hip, mid and shoulder turn and separation he illustrates.
Hi Eric a question not related to this video. Does the precision impact left arm trainer work with driver. Iv scoured YouTube and can not find a single video on driver with this training aid.
Gankas swing revolution is alive
Very interesting set of drills
Outstanding video!
Maybe the best video ever done on down swing.
This is an excellent video. The blending of visual and feel guidance points make it easy to comprehend and put into action with my own swing. You both complement one another with your teaching approaches also – great collaboration and look forward to seeing more
