  1. It appears that Milo's right hand goes from Extension to Straight in the "hitting area" (from 3:19 to 3:26). This seems to be very important, in that the right wrist by this movement is adding acceleration to the acceleration that is already being added by the straightening of the right elbow in this same "hitting area".
    This adds to the acceleration of the wrist that is already being accelerated by the motion of the right forearm. This is a very, very helpful video. This forearm-wrist-shaft movement is much like the successive portions of a whip in a whip's action. It also seems that like a whip this hand movement at the wrist does not have to be actively done, but simply by allowing a release of the wrist bend as the torso slows and the right arm is extended at the elbow. One other point, the pressure on the shaft from the rotation of the torso and the extension of right arm and the straightening of the right hand at its wrist, occurs at the lifeline of the palm of the right hand as it exerts pressure on the left left thumb which is on the back of the shaft.

  4. Where I agree that the general mechanics of the swings are similar they are very different. If you want an equal comparison, you could create a clubhead at the end of the bat so that the only way you can hit the ball square is to hit it perfectly square with the clubhead at the end of the bat. Sorry baseball, there is no comparison, golf is a lot harder.

  6. I think the hardest thing to do is practice using less than a full swing because you don't have the same forces working with a half swing, etc. How do you find that balance between freedom of the arms and control of the arms so that the clubhead ends up square??

  7. Is the right arm totally passive – or is it more active like throwing the club with the right arm – or are both arms like ropes and totally reacting to the body?

  10. So Milo, we are trying to turn as much as we can and extend 2 arms as much as we can while trying to throw the club thru the ball and to the target? Thanks Milo for great instruction video.

  11. I've played for over 60 years and I don't understand how you can ever square the club without some forearm rotation. The club face will never square just by turning the body.

  13. Hmmmm…interesting bit about chest helping to “launch” left arm. Never heard of that one before but will give it a go on the range today. Thanks

  18. Found your site fairly recently and been going through all of your content. As a baseball player, this resonated with me – just makes sense. Good stuff.

  19. Milo, Do you feel that, from around P6, that your right elbow and right hip are moving pretty much in sync? As I watch your swing, it appears that there’s some parallel timing going on there. Just wondering!

  20. I like how the golf swing is related to the baseball swing. I think you should put a little discussion in how the spine bends and tilts throughout the swing too for us who want a little more detail of the body movement,

  22. This is a great video and something that I needed explained to me. Something that I have been working on but never had it explained like this before. When I saw this video, I just said to myself,,,,OMG!

  23. 99% of all golfers are not behind the ball at impact all pros are ?get in front you're never going to get this move really great video I subbed ages ago and your channel in a mine field of golf vids is simply one of the best ? on here top 5 easy keep up the great work ?

  24. Milo, As an older guy I can turn 90 with shoulders and 45 with my hips with moving my lower body first, however most of my hits are toe side resulting in straight to pull shots but lacks distance. What can I do to hit in middle of face?

  28. Someday, I would like to see a video about some ideas to maintain effortless power under pressure.

    When I get to a very tough hole or in competition, it’s too easy to revert back to old habits, and snatch the club rapidly down from the top with the arms.

    I think most everyone would be interested in your thoughts about maintaining tempo and sequencing on the course.

    Thanks!
