Did this drill today at the range -- major difference in feel -- much looser swing after doing it with both hands, alternating -- the drill gives you a relaxed free swing, almost better than using the yellow or orange golf aid. Thank You!

Hi Andy, what a great and sensible approach to getting some club head speed without traumatising the body! I’m 74 and just recovering from a tin and fib break on my right ankle. Body dynamics cannot be on my agenda anymore. Your description and explanation of transition and going through by mainly just using the arms and hands is a gem!! Currently all my irons go about the same distance, 150 yards and I’ll be trying this as soon as possible. Many thanks once again, Regards, John , near Brighton UK

Great Advice. Thank you for the video. 😃👍

Thank you for what you do. I went down the body driven path and even in good shape in my early 30's I realized I would not be playing golf for very long like that, talk about being hard on the body. I switched to what you're teaching here over a year ago, vastly improved, and feel like I can play with this swing for forever.

It would help the visual with actual swing speed numbers...It took me a while to understand it's faster to relax after I started seeing increase in swing speed/ball speed with a more relaxed swing.

Great video. Looking forward to getting back down to see you

🎯

A question I’ve had forever. Is the release passive and gravity driven as the swing on the right side? Or should I be exerting force in my wrists to release the club? Been confused about that forever. Can someone help me with that? Thank you.

Was hoping to see him hit a ball. Good stuff !!

Andrew, love these Saturday morning lessons. Thank you!

I use the GEM training aid to help remind me of this move .

I don't blame this guy, there is lots of talk about shifting weight forward and getting shaft lean. I know a lot of us try our best and play with what we have. Thanks for sharing tips with us.

very interesting lesson to watch...thanks for sharing. Excellent explanation and video

Great explanation and drill. Enjoy your content . Nice meeting you briefly at the Rice Planters Amateur Tournament a few days ago.

Once I understood this is the way I felt euphoria of swinging that I had missed when I first started golfing. I LOVE THIS GAME!!!

👍👏👍👏

Maybe the golfer is reacting to his clubface being closed 😅

Hmmm so maybe all the work I've been doing on ground reaction force and getting my pressure into my lead leg has been wasted 😢

Great video. How would you handle deep grass with ball sitting down in first cut by green, say 5 yards to hole. I did catch your chop and pop. Great video. What about short distances to hole.

Hi Andrew. Are you pulling your arms down? I recently discovered this, but I have anxiety about hitting it fat. So invariably I get ahead of the ball and hit it thin. On the range mat no problem, but in the grass I am a nervous wreck. Golf is not fun anymore.😢

Will it work with the driver ? Thanks

👏👍👏👍

Where did this come from? Fantastic

Coach, been practising this for the last month and it really clicks with me. Thanks a lot! One question: if I would want to make this swing longer, do you just swing like this from 10 to 2? I mean, do you still hinge fully at 9 and 3? (Sorry if this was already answered)

I have never seen a coaching video addressing the issue of the right hand as it begins the downswing. This was very helpful. Thank you.

I had this exact bad lie chip shot on short sided Par 3 tee shot. yesterday I recalled this Chop & Pop technique, I took a practice chop or two then chopped my chip. The ball popped out and rolled within two feet of the cup for an easy PAR. It worked GREAT! Thanks

Chew crayons… HA!!!! Never heard that before, very funny, I agree, the simpler the better, KISS process leads to better golf for me. Thanks for all the great lessons Andrew!

My thinking to simplify all of this. Get out of the weeds… Us strong grippers, have built in more room for the wrist to turn down with our swing naturally. I really don’t like to do the flip over of the wrist at contact, as that requires perfect timing. I just like to relax as much as possible and let the club go pretty fast at contact. I hit my drives in the 250 range at 70 years old, with very solid contact… The noise of the Ping driver is pretty loud at contact.. Not a new gaziliion $$$$ one, that is… G30, firm shaft, set at 0… Callaway Big Bertha Irons, firm graphite.. Found out years ago I couldn’t buy a golf swing. Had to practice, put the time in to develop one, that works with what I have with my body…. I practice 2 days a week, and play one day… All spaced out a day apart because of arthritis and soreness in finger joints…

Andrew- I agree with what you’re saying. How about those of us, like myself, that have arthritis really bad in our fingers. For myself a right handed golfer, unfortunately it’s in my right hand. So it’s impossible for me to grip the club in my fingers with that hand. I also have to use a Jumbomax medium tour grip. I’ve found these long ago when they first came out, and only had a wrap type grip. I also wear one of those Bionic gloves on my right hand that have the pads built into the joints in the fingers. I’m in the slightly closed stance camp, that swings in to out, with my back to the target, as long as possible, to stop the over the top, and swinging across the ball. I like to feel full extension at and beyond impact. I noticed I had some cupping at the top. What would you suggest that would help that I could build into my swing? I try to keep my right wrist bent backwards at the top, like I have a platter of food I’m serving. This helps some. But my misses are to the right sometimes. However I’m hitting the ball solid in the middle of the club face, use foot powder spray on club head… What’s helped is to line the face to the middle of the fairway, slightly closed, even though I’m swinging out a few degrees to the right…. I’m more of a 3 knuckle grip golfer on lead hand…. Thanks for all you do to help….

In the Hole!!

excellent instruction to detail. Especially with the different release patterns! I personally always favored a 3 knuckle grip and struggled with random instructors getting me to flex my wrist in the transition causing me to snap hook everything. I've gotten down to a 2 handicap on my own through UA-cam. You have a new follower! Keep up the great content, Coach!

Arms drop like an Elevator? You mean a lift right?

Happy Father's day. 👍👏🙏

Oh man I love the 0:30 Hackmotion plug. You can just tell he was talking to the cameraman/team: "what the f... is this thing called again? motion slice? hack-ee-whack? What? Hackmotion? Who makes this stuff up... anyway!" due to the video editting.

Awesome video. So would you say the “throw the clubhead” and actually almost trying to get an early cupped wrist feeling to release the clubhead is causing my inconsistency?

Excellent video. I love common sense golf, good old fashion, common sense teaching without all the silly tech... I cringe at some tech out there...the brain can't wrap itself around data of a wrist that is 3 degrees cupped at the top. Technology can screw up players swings into "analysis paraylsis" and I quit golf for years due to that. I see it all the time on the range and course. Just my opinion...Teaching today has gone way overboard with technology...best instructors are those that can look at someone's swing and know whats needs improvement, ... like you can. It's the reason my instructor now is old school and teaches by sight, not technology. Because of his common sense instruction, I have finally reached my goal of being a single digit handicap and outdriving most men from the whites at 67 yrs old. Something to be said for the old school golf instruction. I do love your videos... You're an awesome instructor....keep it up.

Well it would measure regardless of whether he moves his wrists or not

I think of Steve Stricker too when it comes to club face control as he maintains that square set up through his swing. I wonder how the hack motion would measure his wrists as they don’t seem to move.🤔

Just came across your channel. I like it because this is how I learnt to play as a junior. However, I’m looking at most of your videos, you don’t appear to cover the backswing which is my problem. I have an overswing especially with the longer clubs. Can you please cover this ? I have tried a shorter backswing but my swing speed lowers and I don’t feel I have enough room to hit the ball. Thanks

I've been working on this very move, it's so important. YOU just validated the feeling that took me a long time to understand, thank you for that validation.

Great video Andrew. Just got back from an up and down round and this would have been helpful! BTW- what size Orange Whip do you recommend? Yours looks a little shorter than what most people seem to carry.

Another excellent lesson! Loved it! 👏👏👏😍

Had lots of bunker issues since the sand is much more fluffier this year. Found lots of key points with this training vid so thanks for that

Great video. Simple to understand and put into motion🎉🎉

Hello Coach A, Due to life events, I've been playing golf off and on for decades. Early on, I wasted my money on golf instructions from a bad instructor; and I've been self taught ever since. (There are not many instructors in my area.) When I needed help with my swing, I turned to UA-cam. Let's just say that, some are better than others. Now that I am retired, I am playing more and trying to improve my game. Thankfully, I recently stumbled upon your channel. I've searched for years and this is the best video that I have found on the principles, goals and timing of a simple, yet very effective golf swing. Very well done Sir! Please keep up your great work of sharing your wisdom of the golf swing with us. Thank you once again...

5th parallel. Wonderful concept.

Most informative video. Thank you so much.

holy smokes I like your videos on increasing club head speed with hands arms wrists but this one is too much info for a short chip shot. I lock my arms to my body and rock and twist with my knees and legs. Arms hands locked to body this gives me a quarter very low back swing on coming back i allow my arms to unlock at impact and follow thru.I started doing this recently and I now feel very confident with 40 yards on in to edge of green. I use 7, 8,9 pw depending on distance. If I am just off the green I never unlock arms all movement created by one knee beding in and one leg straightening
