This channel focusses on the golf swing and discussing in detail about the areas of the golf swing that most amateurs get wrong. Each how to video explains everything a golfer needs to know so they can improve their golf game and start lowering their scores, so wheter your trying to break 100, break 90, break 80 or break 70 then this channel will help you acheieve everything you want.
I don't rely on many if any training aids with my coaching as I beleive that the change will happen once you understand what it is your really trying to do with your golf swing and once your understanding improves then you will start to make the correct swing change, I will occasionally offer drills to do as this can often improve your feel verus perception battle and help aid your cause.
I love giving golf tips however I really enjoy helping golfers with their game and love the positive feedback about golfers who I have helped with their ball striking or driving or whatever so if you like golf tips then you should subscribe.
I'll always try to put my swing on slow motion on the camera howver this is sometimes difficult due to the set up of my driving range and I'm often looking for privacy but I agree that seeing a Professional swing in slow motion can help golfers develop.
I do use the term perfect golf swing, not because there is a perfect golf swing or perfect backswing etc however I like to discuss options in all my videos and sgtrongly beleive there are 5 or 6 things we have to do in the golf swing but there are options for golfers to choose what they want to do which is why I feel im qualified to discuss the perfect golf swing as much as anybody else.
The areas I disucss in the golf swing are hip rotation, swing plane, upper body movements, how to gain speed in your golf swing, how to use the driver, all golf swing basics, golf swing for seniors, golf swing for irons, the elbow positions and whats the best way to swing a golf club and much more.
I also do alot of club reviews with Midlands Golf and specially Ronnie and coach at Four Ashes and a friend who helps me as I'm not the most technical person when it comes to club equipment, but we talk about what are the best golf clubs, golf bags, golf balls and even golf trollys. Everyone wants to know whats the best golf club and especailly the best driver which is why we test all of the clubs and give our opinion on what the best golf clubs are.
We talk about the popular tournaments upcoming especailly the masters as this is a favourite for every golfer.
We do all of this from our happy home Four Ashes Golf Centre.
So if your keen on learning the best way to swing a golf club, the best latest golf wedge, or interested in online golf lessons, what have Taylormade golf launched now?, or is the latest Callaway driver acyually longer than the prevoius model?
Then press that subscribe buttion, ring those bells and join me on my journey into golf and who knowas where we'll end up.
I skipped the towel and practiced the palm at the sky position. I'm too old to reach that position but the wrist angle of the right hand was the key tip for me. This wrist cock promotes lag. A lot of videos are good at explaining theory but very few show how. They all say handle should lead head but dammit, they never show how. Practiced this at the range twice and went to the course. It was an easy and natural move. Well done, thank you.
I hope my wife doesn't see me. She'll tell me to wash her car lol.
Looks like a great way to get yourself stuck as hell. Hands aimed at the ball coming down = massive shank!
Moe Norman style.
This is not a good advice unfortunately… The concept of "shallowing the shaft" is a bit problematic. It might be a feeling for someone who's a chronic slicer and that helps them with feeling the opposite. However, you want your arms to shallow, not the club mainly. The club shallows because the arms shallows. If you are focusing on shallowing the club it going to fall more and more behind your hands and you'll get stuck. This results in a lot of timing issues because you're fighting the momentum of the club and you have to flip your hands to catch the clubface up.
The EXACT opposite of what Mike Malaska teaches!!!! Thats what we amateurs face!!!
You could probably make some slow full swings for feeling, especially for those over the top or steep.
Sleeping bag works better????????
People in my neighborhood already think I'm retarded, this should confirm their suspicions
Hi Russel, to me shallowing the shaft is more a result than an objective in itself. Concentrating on shallowing is missleading because it looks like you need to add an extra motion out of swing plane = not natural
Great idea! Probably good for building golfing muscles as well.
Awesome lesson.
Wow, what a simple and effective drill, fantastic, and I was able to do my laundry at the same time..lol.. thanks
Interesting idea and very simple – great stuff again Russell
Perfect timing Russell. Towel Day is tomorrow 🙂 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towel_Day
When I do that drill/feel, the ball goes sky high and right
Good one Russ. By whatever means to feel the shaft Tip Back (shallow) is a good thing. Back in the day when I was was working with Martin Ayers he would get us to feel the Twirl of the Club Tipping Back. Elk said it was a Spiral. When they captured both he and Elk on 3D Motion Analysis they were both way off the charts in terms of dumping the Energy on the Ball. Shallow Early Steepen late. Most am's do it opposite of this.
Genius ???
Yesssss! Love this! Simple. Tiny brain is happy.
Russell – I’ve used a item called “I Gotocha Ready” warm up system for years. I does the same thing as the wet towel in that it attaches to the shaft to increase the weight so you can feel the club shallowing. I like that I can use it down by the head, like with the towel, or up near the grip. The advantage is you don’t have to get your hands wet and you can use it at the ranger.. While its about $20 US, Ive had mine for 10 years and it still looks like new and works like a charm. By the way, good video and drill.
Reminds me very much of the old "Momentus" training aid. This is a steel wedgelike club that weighs 3lbs and is fitted with a training grip so assists in positioning as well. Unlike the towel, where the weight is concentrated at one end, the Momentus is solid steel uniformly along its length though perhaps that doesn't make a lot of difference.
Using it certainly makes lowering the angle of the club at the beginning of the downstroke easier.
