Thanks for watching!
this isn’t just not as good as these top
 players it’s in the opposite
 direction hey guys thanks for watching
 really really excited to be joined today
 from Australia with Martin SS who’s a
 golf instructor that I’ve been following
 for gosh it’s 2024 now so over 15 years
 he’s been in the online Golf Community
 and he really has a very interesting
 concept of how people are going about
 the golf swing may be totally backwards
 so uh thanks for joining us on New
 better maybe no def definitely yeah it’s
 great to be here uh Brendan nice to meet
 you obviously today this is the first
 time we’ve talked but we’ve we’ve uh
 bandied messages back and forth what is
 your history in golf and then how did
 you get into actually
 teaching well I think like most teachers
 I’m a failed player um you know I would
 say very few people get involved in golf
 teaching who didn’t play a lot of golf
 when they were younger and many people
 people like myself who I was a tour
 player in Australia for five or six
 years from 96 till 2001 to that type of
 error I’m I’m for reference I’m 51 years
 old as of last week
 so I I got worse every year after I
 turned Pro and it was because everything
 I tried to do to make myself better had
 the opposite effect you kind of peaked
 in your goling ability when like as a
 rookie yeah I would say as a rookie or
 even maybe my sophomore year as a pro
 was probably my my Peak Performance I’d
 see players I’d play with i’ go well
 he’s better than me at this he’s better
 than me at that right and I’m sure that
 the PJ tours players are dealing with
 this all the time they’re looking at
 other guys they come out on tour with a
 certain skill set and they feel
 inadequate in certain areas so they go
 and they seek out help in these areas
 well I was in the same position I didn’t
 feel that I got done in by instruction
 which I know a lot of people have been
 done in by
 instruction it was more my own beliefs
 at the time what I thought I had to do
 was just wrong so everything I tried to
 do to make myself better had the
 opposite effect and I know that there’s
 lots of your viewers who would feel that
 way as an amateur it’s like every every
 rain they pull as the horse going the
 other way and they’re like oh I don’t
 understand this right what’s going on so
 that was kind of where I where I got to
 in my mid to late 20s like I said I’m 51
 now at about 35 I kind of figured
 something really important out okay so
 which is when you started to I mean
 you’ve been obviously following my stuff
 since the very beginning since you said
 15 years because that’s when I started
 to I’d had an
 epiphany um about the dire nature the
 first thing that made people magnetic to
 you is just like the look of the swing
 and the sound of the shots seems like
 another level like I’ve seen a lot of
 good Players Tour players Ball but it
 would seem just from the look and the
 sound of the shots that you should be
 right there or better than than most Tor
 right well I I was it’s funny when I had
 the had the swing Epiphany I i’ I’d
 always been a decent ball Striker as a
 player and so on but I would say that
 that was actually my ball striking that
 was the problem
 I never lost my card or lost my game
 because my short game and putting fell
 apart it was in fact they kept getting
 better every year right as my as my long
 so it was more of a long game issue it
 was a swing uh perception issue was what
 it was I had the wrong idea of a go
 swing and I believe that everybody’s got
 the wrong idea of a gol swing
 practically so but you know I’m not
 sitting here on everybody for
 having the wrong idea cuz I had the
 wrong idea so I
 understand I understand where that comes
 from if that makes sense I thought it’s
 very obvious what I need to do right and
 it it turned out that the obvious thing
 to do was completely the wrong thing to
 do it actually sent me down the spiral I
 learned from Tiger I don’t I can’t
 really explain how I started to see the
 swing the way I started to see it but I
 could see tiger going one way one way
 from the moment he begun the swing
 until the ball was long gone he didn’t
 change direction and I could see it in
 his motion and that’s a whole other
 story about what Tiger Woods does on the
 practice range and in practice rounds he
 works at about 40% effort like that’s a
 whole hour I could go into and that’s
 ridiculous what he was doing but search
 any Tiger Woods practice from the 2000s
 2005 and he’s like just
 leisurely right so you could see famous
 video on YouTube of him in Thailand in
 2000 right and then I saw him in
 2007 or five at his tournament and uh it
 was the most difficult thing I saw a
 golfer do but he took a seven iron and
 he hit it with a full swing all the way
 back to here and through 50 yards then
 70 yards then 80 yards but always a full
 swing all the way to 210 yards with a
 seven ey so it was like body control
 that was like and every everyone was
 just like took the littlest bit of extra
 Turf and was so it was really wild it’s
 like the Hogan concentration drill so
 yeah so here’s the interesting thing I I
 would never have been able to do that I
 would never ever have been able to do
 that but then I could suddenly I could
 do that in fact I used to make videos
 for my online group called concentration
 drill and I could swing it at at almost
 static pace and just flush the ball
 every time and it’s because I wasn’t
 changing in Direction and that’s what I
 saw in Tiger it was the fact that he he
 went from in in his body and you can’t
 look at this obviously the camera
 looking at the player clearly sees a
 back swing and a down swing obviously
 right yeah but but from within him
 looking at what he was doing in terms of
 his
 intention he looked like he was going in
 One
 Direction all the way to me and it it it
 struck me it just it hit me in the face
 and I was like okay I think I understand
 what’s going on there and I I was in
 Japan ironically and I couldn’t I didn’t
 have any clubs with me I was on a
 holiday with my in-laws so I got home
 and as soon as I went to the driving R
 just like instant got it Sam can you say
 One Direction because this like I don’t
 want people to come away from this
 conversation thinking that this is like
 esoteric or like woo woo or whatever
 because we look at the golf swing and we
 see it there’s the club goes back it
 stops her it goes down that way but in
 reality like how is it going All in One
 Direction okay let me let me this is
 it’s a really good question because if
 and and actually the things that I want
 the one thing that I wanted to mention
 today was what Lee um and I don’t know
 Lee uh obviously the first time I ever
 saw Lee was on your video oh right did
 yeah yeah so but what Lee helped you
 with in understanding my video speaks
 really the first seven minutes of that
 video what Lee
 was extracting from the video and
 passing on to you was the One Direction
 okay okay and then you actually alluded
 to that later in the video you you
 alluded to that um you and Lee you know
 talked about the fact that I talk about
 it in One Direction was like it was
 quite funny because when you just for
 example he had you you know turning the
 the weight and he said when you go you
 go this way and then
 don’t go that way don’t go out okay what
 he said was you know that stays there
 let’s say and this works on well that’s
 this appears to be One Direction and
 this appears to be another yeah right
 and yet and yet to to create that change
 in
 shape it’s continued to go away from the
 golf ball it’s just continued to go away
 and so it’s gone in the same direction
 to change Direction apparently and
 that’s what again jumped out to me with
 tiger I was like oh I understand now
 because my biggest problem um when I
 played I didn’t know it at the time but
 my biggest problem was I would turn away
 from the ball with such effort and force
 and move away from the golf ball that I
 had to stop doing
 that at some arbitrary point in other
 words time the stopping of that and the
 beginning of a second effort to get back
 to the Golf Tiger didn’t have that
 problem that’s why he could do it at 40%
 effort 20% effort 80% effort he wasn’t
 going
 anywhere he was somewhere moving in a
 Direction that’s the if I could say
 someone said me what’s the fundamental
 fundamental of the GOL swing it’s that a
 really good player is
 somewhere going in some Direction
 remaining where they are so they’re
 they’re in Motion in a direction
 returning to where they
 began and you might say well how is it
 possible for the human body to do that
 well we have we have two sides here and
 if I keep going in One Direction you’re
 like hang on you’re changing direction
 here with your hands it’s like well not
 really they’re changing relationship to
 each other but they’re both going
 this way yeah so if you if you hold your
 hands out to me brenon push them towards
 me and then yeah towards me and then
 yeah like that so they’re both neither
 of those hands is changing direction are
 they no they’re staying in the same
 direction they’re continuing this kind
 of circle correct exactly like an orbit
 so the Earth doesn’t change direction
 around the Sun thank God we rely Our
 Lives rely on the fact that the Earth
 just keeps going around the Sun
 okay if that somehow changed Direction
 we’d be in trouble okay but it’s
 continuous it’s in One Direction now if
 someone was far enough away to observe
 the earth going around the Sun they’d go
 oh there’s the earth going to the right
 and now the Earth’s going to the left
 around the other side of the sun now
 it’s going to the right again and to the
 left and to the right so is it changing
 direction no are you saying like if his
 hand are relative to relative to his
 sternum in front of him here then in the
 back swing if my sternum didn’t move his
 hand start to go this way and then all
 the way by impact they’ve continued to
 to keep going this way and no no no but
 that’s that’s I mean that’s what the
 club does you see so now here’s the
 interesting thing people say well the
 club goes to the right and it goes to
 the left but does it really great
 question by the way toally cow we now
 we’re really deep into the weeds here
 but this is great so you know those
 videos with the two colored arcs of
 players like you you did one with in the
 video you where you and um Lee were uh
 talking about my video you had Matt wolf
 doing his two ARS pull any player up I
 can explain what that is given what you
 just said in other words the club head
 traverses an
 orbit okay there’s no one’s Club head
 goes to a point and then Returns on the
 same Arc that it begun
 that would be a two- directional swing
 it it’s an orbit now however elliptical
 and narrow that orbit is doesn’t matter
 it’s still an
 orbit but that’s what the club does now
 what you talked about was what does the
 player do okay and these are very
 separate things and and we can get into
 this in detail later but the club head
 travels a lot further than the
 hand okay and a lot further than the
 arms now if you could imagine that
 you’re doing that thing with your hands
 again and you notice that as you’re
 doing that it’s almost like a bicycle
 okay and what that means is is that
 there’s there’s a space between your
 hands there’s a gap and that Gap is time
 and space they’re going in complete
 opposition to each
 other they are in opposite motion aren’t
 they now they’re both going the same way
 yeah they would both basically be doing
 this but the the cling of it is
 different exact and it’s and it’s the
 that’s the thing because as one goes out
 the other comes in and vice
 versa and so that’s how you achieve a
 goal swing while going in One Direction
 because if you just did it like this
 with two hat sorry if you did it like
 this you’re not doing this okay we’re
 not holding the club and moving this is
 how typically this is one Le about the
 the idea people have a go of a goal
 swing is is fundamentally wrong because
 this is what it is and it’s your
 two uh your
 two symmetrical sides are working
 opposite each other to produce a motion
 that tracks and balances the club’s
 motion of the orbit now and so this you
 don’t have to change direction you look
 at it like I’m going in this
 direction the whole way now you can feel
 right now that you’re going in two
 directions
 simultaneously two directions within
 you at one point in space so you do that
 now just do that with bicycle again so
 yeah you’re doing you’re doing the two
 directions within you toward and Away a
 point correct yeah so you could look
 anywhere say a golf
 ball right and you could just work
 toward and away
 that
 spot in perfect
 opposition some parts of my body are
 going towards It While others are
 equally going away from it correct and
 if you if you did it equally then that
 would that would cover off the fact that
 you’re not actually moving you’re in
 motion right because for each movement
 towards you have a corresponding
 movement
 away now why would you move to hit a
 ball that’s not moving
 that doesn’t make any logical
 set yeah to make it go far right well I
 mean you have to have motion to make it
 go far but you don’t have to
 move and what I’m saying is the best
 players move the least with the most
 motion that’s all we have I’m not saying
 they don’t move at at all like zero but
 it’s like man don’t don’t try to
 move yeah that’s something I I I won a
 contest before I did better golf I won a
 contest and I got to play around of golf
 with Patrick Harrington about uh years
 ago or or something yeah and when I
 played golf with him this is something
 you don’t see on video but when I played
 golf with him and if your eyes are not
 totally focused but you’re looking at
 his torso it looks like he’s not moving
 at all yeah and you start to think like
 oh well that’s how he can be you know
 Hit The Sweet Spot this big like he’s
 not moving correct and it was like you
 saw his extremities and stuff moving but
 like within his torso like if you just
 kind of like SL I remember a couple
 times I would slightly like put my eyes
 out of focus and just look at his torso
 and it was just like there you know what
 you know why it looked like he wasn’t
 moving because perfect but
 like
 he okay the point that I would say in a
 great player that’s not
 moving it’s not even really a part of
 themselves okay now I had to figure fig
 this out because I was wondering what
 was going on and if you look at the
 hammer thrower for example a hammer
 thrower there’s a center of their
 rotation the center of mass balance of
 rotation is a spot just outside them
 like this yeah right that similar to how
 the center of a golf club is not within
 the golf right exactly precisely so you
 we can just leave it there and just say
 look that it’s more that I want the
 student or the aler to understand that
 trying to move is a
 loser having Motion in one place is a
 winner okay whether you achieve it to to
 be in exactly one place or not is
 actually not that relevant because the
 more you achieve it the better right and
 the more you’re moving
 around the less likely you’re going to
 be a very good
 player so that’s it’s just a simple way
 to to view things these players are some
 of the longest and straightest players
 in the game some of them are big Lads
 they routinely turn long par fours and
 shorter par fivs into mere driver wedge
 holes going to talk today about the
 trail side strike you could make the
 Assumption from this view that Cameron
 is driving his hands ahead of the ball
 and his arms in front of his body to get
 to impact this look is deceiving and
 harmfully so most golfers believe they
 have to get the arms and Club in front
 of them Drive their hands ahead of the
 ball and square the face to get maximum
 compression from where we are looking at
 this picture it’s not crazy to think
 that that’s what you need to do but
 here’s the key point you never hit the
 ball from where you are looking at
 Cameron Champ from this is where false
 perceptions come from you hit it from
 where he’s looking but often form
 perceptions of what you need to do from
 other
 perspectives I plan to make the case why
 these false perceptions are so harmful
 to you it’s not that you need to get
 better at getting your arms in front
 your hands ahead you should be sensing
 the opposite his left arm is as far to
 the trail side of his torso as it could
 be that’s the opposite of getting it in
 front of him at this point watch this
 focus on the left arm and Club It’s a
 combination of him leaving this up and
 back relative to him and also how he
 stays inside and under that so don’t
 think in terms of plane lines and the
 target line with this you want your left
 arm up and out relative to you get this
 relationship and then figure out the
 rest with this here’s a pretty good Amer
 swing he has all the speed needed but at
 The crucial moment of transitioning then
 into delivery and through the ball this
 guy has stood up he’s gone out and the
 arms and Club relative to him have
 dropped like a
 stone this isn’t just not as good as
 these top players it’s in the opposite
 direction they are working in their left
 arm staying up

If this Video Gets 1000 likes and shares I'll immediately fly Martin to California to do videos in person!
It’s useful to understand that the club moves in a kind of a loop over the course of the entire swing, that it’s not just traveling in one direction in the backswing and reversing that in the downswing. Rope drills and continuous swings illustrate this concept and feeling very well. A nice insight, but this alone won’t create a great swing and he uselessly complicates or obfuscates the principle.
If you’ve followed Martin since the Secret in the Dirt days with Steve Elkington, then you know what this is about
Golf instruction must be the worst profession in the world. Collectively they dont make people better. There must be a better way.
If you want to get better at golf run far, far away from this nonsense. Do better, Brandon.
This video is absolute dog doo-doo.
That is some of the most confusing shit I've ever heard. As if golf wasn't confusing enough
And Scotty Sheffler just keeps things very simple
I checked out his channel and I think I understand his basic principles but I don’t feel like I fully grasp all the concepts. He needs to learn to communicate like a teacher and not like a philosopher. “The mark of a good teacher is the ability to explain the difficult in simple terms” – Mark Twain – I look forward to you doing a video with him as I know you will probe for clarity.
Chuck Quinton from @Rotaryswing also talks about the golf swing being in one direction. He teaches this via his AXIOM system
Is it akin to travelling East to get to West and vice Versaraty?
The explanation and what he’s trying to say truly sucks the fact you leave this unfinished truly sucks
I think Elite Golf school touched on this exact same concept when they where talking to Milo. The concept of the club moving in a constant elliptical rotation driving by a body turn. I might be wrong, but I think they are on the same page here.
There comes a point of wanting to solve the golf swing or wanting to play great golf. An athlete is an athlete. Give them the basic understanding and they will react. I feel we avid golfers can harm our own pursuit by wanting to know more. Knowing the golf swing does not translate most times* Maybe MORAD was the only example of knowing and being able to produce a swing that is in his head. For most too much I think can cause more harm than good.
Ok, I liked the video, but only because he needs to demonstrate his claims, not just talk about it. He's saying some pretty wild obscure stuff, with that MUST come a visual demonstration.
I agree with Mr. Ayers. My swing and golf shots have been going in the same / one direction for the past 3 years —> Nowhere.
Instant unsubscribe.
Have known Martin for years. Incredible human and instructor
Always enjoyed his videos w/Elk,Maves, and Terry on Secret in the Dirt..
LOL. This guy is clearly tripping while trying to explain the golf swing.
Very similar / same idea as the "Kawa swing".
This is all about centrifugal force and feeling the cub head throughout the whole swing. Creating large amount of speed without unnecessary body movement. I was taught something similar to this from another Australian pro about 10 years ago. It definitely works. This is just a crazy complex way of explaining it. a similar reference would be shaun clement when he demonstrates moving very slightly up and down but the club is obviously firing through the ball. It feels like a sling and the club head flies through impact. I believe he is trying to get across that your not having to manipulate by moving excessively in two different directions or forcefully to get great club head speed. Reminds me of ben lexcen explaining the winged keel 😂
No idea what any of that was about tbh. lol
Like a Nascar? Aways going left just at different points on the track.
I play off 2 as well and, although I can see what’s he getting at, the language isn’t clear enough for us to use. My coach will say things like “finish your turn before your hands get above your head”. I can work with that but I can’t find something useable here. For example, tell us how the body moves. Can you help?
He may be right. Unfortunately he’s unable to describe what he means.
Martin is freaking awesome!!!
I have thought about this previously. When looking at my swing with one of the club head tracers, I noticed that my arc is the reverse direction of everyone on tour. Club head loops "over" rather than "under. The only pros that I could find that do it this way were Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els. Even faders like Morikawa loop it over, which is mind blowing.
Staying centred.
Clear as mud.
What a stupid game. I'll stick to pickle ball.
I think we just hit peak confusion for the golf swing. I'm going to throw out my YouTubes!
I saw Martin on you tube years ago, but his description to me is hard to understand, why not do a video on what he’s talking about?
This channel was at its best when they had Malaska and Kwon
I think I am more confused. Would like to learn more
It is what? It is, is It?. So, what is it,,,, 0r Is it is? ,,,HELP !!! 🤪🏌🏻♂️
its funny – when i used to go to the womans pro tournaments in the 1970's and 1980's – at the dupont country club in wilmington delaware – i used to say even back then – that "they dont even look like they are moving" yet the woman would hit the ball so elegantly . There is something to say about motion when its is contained and not all over the place.
