Can I still win if I've been subscribed for a while now?
Steve before discovering your videos I thought at 72 years old I could no longer play this game but In the last few months of watching your videos I can’t wait for my next round again thank you so much
Steve, as always simply stated. Getting the body to follow along is harder for those who are approaching 60.
Great insight into the golf swing 👍
Watching Mark Crossfield build length on his driver in his last few videos raises an interesting concept along with the points you make here. It's not just about ground forces, rotation, and hand speed, it's (as you said toward the end) getting them in the right sequence and, as Mark is discovering, the exact timing. He has been working hard on moving the maximization of ground force on his swing from after contact (as he found with the swing catalyst mat) to just before contact and he has realized a substantial jump in distance (265 ish drives to 300+) of 40-50 yards.
It takes A LOT of effort to make those microsecond adjustments to maximize the combination of forces, but the payoff is pretty big if you can manage it.
Win 🏆
I've seen how straight you it the ball, so it mystifies me that with such a high speed rate of closure the toe is moving that you can square the club face up the way you do.
The chain of events, in order- provide the power and speed. Thank you.
Me now: Makes total sense.
Me tomorrow at range: Wtf?
Great video… just what I need for sequencing. PICK ME…. please 🙂
Interesting – like Mike Austin says, body puts the arms in position to kill it.
Brilliant video Steve! It baffles me how more instructors don’t implement this philosophy! Thank you!!!
Thanks Steve! This is exactly what I need to work on
Knowing what we should do is not hard. Teaching and communicating HOW to do it a rare talent. Thanks for lessons and contributions the golfing community thanks you.
Steve, I am finally starting to shallow the club and when it connects I get 5-10y more distance. It feels freaky but I’m going to keep at it! Its amazing the speed increase and the helpful draw spin. Your vids ‘this is why you can’t shallow the club’ and the ‘proper hip tilt’ videos is what helped. Thanks a million 🚀
Good lesson as usual Steve! Thanks!!
long time sub here steve free swing criitiqe yes pls
Cool
There have been numerous studies in such activities as the tennis serve and throwing a ball on where the power comes from. They indicate that nearly 50% of your power comes from the internal rotation of the upper arm. As you throw a ball forward, you lead with your elbow which creates external rotation. As you reach the limit of your forward range of motion, the rotation switches direction to internal rotation. Following through across your body prevents your elbow from flying up so all the rotation is funneled forward through the forearm. In golf you would have both internal rotation in the trail arm and external rotation in the lead arm. If you whip the clubhead forward with the hands late in the swing the clubhead pulls the arms the wrong direction and weakens the action of the upper arms. Mike Austin, however, called for an early wrist action which was necessitated perhaps by a strong initial external rotation ala your pizza spin move.
Steve. I love your simple but so well explained methods. After learning how to walk again after a stroke and 4 years of not playing. I am beginning to love the game again and my confidence has started to come back. THANK YOU. I wish your where closer for some private lessons. Excellent videos.
This is fire. All your videos are my go to specially for times I need more power/ distance in my swings.
Great channel
Thank you for all of your info!
congrats, steve. major winner amazingly predicted! profession with precision!
For sure speed comes from being relaxed in the arms and everything else with it.
Thanks Steve!
Hi Steve
Wish there were more golf teachers like you in Australia. Think I would have been a way better player if I had your knowledge when I first started the game, back in prehistoric times.
Michael.
Interesting and I would like to train the speed sequence in the swing, but it is difficult to get everything right when you start with golf late in life
Thank you for your tips, Steve, they are helpful.
Love your videos! Has taken my game to new levels this year! Looking forward to becoming a member. If your on the East Coast ever!!! Lesson time!
Chair swivel is good for showing reaction force needed. I thought you might put also just put one foot down and spin around. 🙂
Not mentioned is the acceleration from pulling up on the handle. This is demonstrated by letting head fall in a pendulum motion and raising the pivot point up. If you did this sitting with springs under your seat, your body would go down…ie no reaction to "jump" when standing.
Spoiler Alert!: it’s not one thing, it’s everything! 🤔
An analysis would be awesome!
Hi, exelent , thanks.
Relax to hit it further (I keep having to remind myself). Another nice video, Steve.
Steve, Love your Videos. they have helped my game a lot over the last year. Keep up the great work.
My belief is « power essentially comes from wrists ». A good grip ( what’s a good grip?), a good posture ( K.Bradley’s one or Tiger’s?), turning to load and shift ( conventional or S&T?), shallowing with the good tempo( single plan or flattening the shaft?), all these things are just made to allow the wrists to whip the face square. So many way to do it!!…
We can move our hands at around 20 mph,so the club head must be accelerated by more than just hands,we can add a little using trunk rotation but the real speed of the head comes from wrist rotation which can be illustrated by twirling a weight on a string.Another illustration is using a hammer,if you engage the elbow and shoulder joint to increase hammer head force ,you will then understand that timing is also a factor.A snap of the wrist while twirling a weight on a string will also clear up the whip action analogy.
I want to give you positive feedback as I am hitting the ball 30 to 40 yards further. A big portion of my new found distance is from watching your videos. Your instructions are simple to understand and follow. Thanks for what you do.
Great Video! What grip gives best speed through hands and wrists in your experience?
lag and legs
Appreciate your videos Steve. I've had limited time to practice or play over last several months, but still using your drill using the chair to improve my swing! Stay healthy and well, and hopefully you'll be able to get a look at my swing …LOL 😉
Best Always, George
Well it's just like a car isn't it. Imagine a high powered drag car trying to accelerate with terrible tyres, all the power would be lost. Its not the tyres generating the power it's the engine but the power is useless without the transfer of energy. Your upper body, torso, hands and arms are the engine, your legs and feet the tyres.
Good vid. I'm an ex-mini tour pro and taught beside Mike in Studio City years ago. I'm 77 now and walk and play minimum of 5 times a week. Good tips of yours. I've lost yardage in the last few years but still can play. 20 mor would be great. Thanks.
Great information. I’ve lost a lot of distance over the years!
Newton's third law!
Steve. Big fan here. Well, big around the waste. LOL. Yet another great video explaining how I can gain power at an "advanced" age without throwing out my back after every round. My friends are wondering if I'm using "hot" balls these days. Keep 'em coming!!
I needed this video, thank you. 😊
In your drills with a chair behind you, how high should the chair be? Should it be as high as the waist? Hips?
