I found your channel 2+ year ago and made this change to my swing - where-in I only move the club in my backswing with my BACK (no arms) - and then have an additional 'tiny' bit arms feeling at the very end. I went from a 12 handicap to 5 almost immediately. I've helped many guys on the range with this very idea - and I can agree with you, I have never come across a single range practicer that turns the club with their back - it's ALL arms and way too much arms. Your 8 inches vs 20 inches is a perfect stat to quote going forwards. Awesome!

This was an all time Emmy winner. Importantly, you confirmed something I discovered in my swing several months ago. I had started to rotate my rear hip so that it was (the feel) directly behind my rear heal on the backswing, Then my magic move was to feel a squat (Sam Snead) to unwind the hip allowing me to forget the arms altogether.. .This produced great ball contact and moved my divot in front of the ball. I had noticed as a by product (and now your video corrects my thinking that this by product is anything but): it is the most important product. I have never hit the ball as solidly and cleanly. The result is that keeping the arms within the torso on the backswing (as you point out) which is critical, can be accomplished by the rotation of the hips on the takeaway. You guys are fantastic and really simplify what otherwise is an almost impossible task to master -- Golf.

This was such an eye opener to me. I thought making a full turn included BOTH the shoulders AND the arms across the chest. Big mistake! This is the stuck move you hear about which makes it so difficult to get back to impact without standing up. You have to early release in this scenario. When I tried to keep my arms in front of my body it didn’t feel powerful at first because I wasn’t used to turning my shoulders fully which you need to do. Plus I had an inside takeaway which kills this move by dragging your arms across your chest. You can see from the overhead views in this video there has to be an opening/gap between the arms so you can bounce your left arm against your chest on the downswing. Once you master this move with the re-centering move the AMG guys coined your ball will fly off the clubface like a rocket. Thanks Fellas…. you guys are the best!

I have been reading and watching golf instructional material since I first grabbed a club when I was 10. I remember taking my dads golf digest into the backyard and swinging the club into positions I saw in the magazine. I have this sick feeling that I was already destroying my swing at 10 years old. This stuff you guys put out is so eye opening and in some cases depressing because I feel like I have to almost forget a lot of the info on the golf swing that I thought was correct. Unfortunately, at 53 yrs old i don’t have the flexibility and strength I had when I was young. However, better late then never. Keep the info coming, guys!

So basically, as an older golfer, I’m struggling a bit to get my shoulder turn to 90°. But what I think I’m seeing is that so long as my arms don’t move past my right shoulder it’s still coherent even if I’m losing some distance with my lesser shoulder turn. You guys are awesome.

Great video! When I shortned my arm swing to keep it within that range of motion, I immediately felt the absence of the bounce/rebound I often get from overswinging my arms to gain depth. I also felt the club drop or shallow in transition naturally, partially because, I think, that I was able to keep my arms more relaxed going back since I didn't have to try and muscle them into a deeper position as I normally do. This really helped my understand the backswing better. Thanks, guys.

Oh boy this is hard work! So much easier to use the hands and arms and hit 200 balls a day. I used to do this with scores anywhere from 70 all the way up to 90! I found a good way to practice this is to wear many layers (5) which keeps the arms less mobile forcing you to get power from your turn. Its amazing how much more time you feel you have in the through swing.I would add it helps immensely to tilt from the hips properly at address.

I'd love to see that half of the swing on gears... e.g. trail arm release and rotation... Thanks!

One contributing factor (which I learnt from a Korean coach) is that we tend to swing one plane, when we're actually setup for two plane. This causes us to neglect the fact that our arms in the backswing have to travel on a steeper plane than our shoulders. We wrongly try to swing our arms on the same plane as our shoulders. That plus misconception about swinging across our shoulders (perhaps thinking that generates power or is part of the circle). End result is butt of the club at the top of the swing is wayy left of the right ankle (down the line view). But pros have it in line (vertically drawn) or slightly left of the ankle with the longer clubs like driver. Somethinga I have just discovered and hope to work on.

Hi, Something that occurred to me about this subject is that the word "shoulder" has two meanings 1- as a passive reference point either in absolute terms so as a point to focus on through a swing or in relative terms so how it moves compares to other reference points say the hips 2 - as a movement system. This is quite different, here it refers to the probably the most complex group of muscles, bones and connections in the body. Meaning 1 occurs all the time. But I don't recall hearing much of meaning 2. In this video for example though talking about the lead arm the movements are actually made by the shoulder. A subject for a couple of future videos could be a really deep dive into what the left and right shoulders are doing as active movers during the swing. As an e.g. I think there's a point in transition where the lead scapula changes direction and starts to move down. I think the details of how exactly this happens would help with getting the lead arm movement right. I guess long term what would be cool is a GEARS "real" anatomy view which gives you the option of displaying a skeleton and showing how the actual "real" bones and associated muscles move.

This is indeed a game changer. I'm wondering if trying to stay connected creates so much stress on the left shoulder (for right handers) that shoulder problems (pain!) will ensue? Sure seems to be the case for me.
