I think I might’ve had a breakthrough with this video. It looks to me like your swing arc is more up and down versus around your body. I’ve been swinging more around my body for years and I wonder if that’s why I’ve been struggling so much to maintain my tilts and execute my task. I’ll think “throw the club to the right of the intermediate point” and no matter how hard I try my club path always reads out to in. I also really struggle with engaging the legs and THEN the arm-club unit on the downswing. They always move in unison for me to disastrous results and/or compensations. I’ve been telling my instructors for years that I’m making compensations because of a bad transition, but because I know how to make my swing look pretty on video nobody’s been able to help me get to the root cause.
Yes sir! You are in the right place with these videos; see also “backswing levitation” and “perpetual motion drill series” and the latest “off season training series 2020-2021” where we talk about the release into a hinge of the wrists and this hinge is what takes the backswing up the rib cage instead of around the body. When this happens, the “levitation” takes care of the arms as the brain can now secure the ground in the downswing to engage the kinetic chain. Timing, rhythm, effortless power, no need to interfere, just witness the greatness!
Hi! It seems like you stay very centered in your swing. Does your weight ever travel to the outside of the left foot (for a righty) during the swing? I struggle with “swaying” and am wondering if this is a good concept (symmetrical action in backswing and downswing/follow through). Hope that makes sense. Thanks!
I see it gets pulled there at the finish but just curious about how you think about that. Thanks!
Hey Sean! The best series for you to watch are the “walking drill” and the “kinetic chain facilitation series” and as you will see in #6 of that series, and in the walking drill, the weight cannot go to the outside of the feet as this would interrupt the walk! 😀👍
Is the kinetic chain engagement of the glutes and quads going to be the same between the irons, fairway woods, and driver? I am thinking that the driver might be slightly less, since the ball is on a tee and we are catching the ball as the club is moving up on the arc. Is this correct?
Same for all! You are throwing the club to a target and creating and generating an arc. The kinetic chain engagement is completely autonomous (part of the self preserving system) and necessary on all clubs and all shots; even uphill shots!

I put my ping 3 wood shaft in my ping g400 driver
43 in instead of 45+
Seems to make more consistent sweet spot contact
Opinion ?

Haha, I played over half my 45 years of golf and bombed a lot of drives with a 43 inch Driver! So did Tiger!
Aha! The ‘glutes and quads’ part at the end with the driver is money in the bank! From another video you always asked if the trail foot should be down or up at impact (down) but i could never figure out how until this video – if you bypass the ‘glutes and quads’ part of the chain and just rotate your hips open from the top – there is no way to keep your trail foot down at impact…. ah!!!
Now there is a light bulb moment! Good on you!
