I implemented this feeling from using my prosndr and watching their downswing video, practised it all week and went out and shot my two best rounds this weekend, level par gross on Friday, 2 over gross yesterday. It’s amazing how consistent this makes your swing and strike. Amazing video

This video was a game changer for me! I'm not going to lie. It took me a minute to trust this would work, and sometimes, I still scratch my head in amazement. Lol... This has added effortless power and improved contact with all my irons. However, I can't seem to do this move consistently with my driver. I feel like I need to be way more patient in the downswing. Do you have any advice or drills I might try? Thank you so much for your instruction!

Great concept Jonathan of using inertia away from the body for ones benefit! Yesterday, during a round of golf, I think I experienced your described feeling. In order to get a wider backswing, I turned my torso a little further, pushing my arms out more, and when I came through the ball, it was like effortless power with very long hits. I'll definitely keep working on this concept! Well Done Jonathan! Thanks for the help!

When I first started learning the swing 10 years ago, my main thought was to throw the club backwards and let it swing through a circle. I always had good contact (a little flippy though). After getting numerous instructors, I was told this was wrong. I changed and have had nightmares since. Think I'll go back to that. Good video.

THANKS, Jonathan!! You may be part of a seismic shift! Hogan and Lee Trevino (both rightfully so) have been you tube darlings for ball striking. I've wonder why few have mentioned Jack Nicklaus as a great ball striker. Well, if this catches on then Nicklaus (the guy with 18 majors) may rise up the you tube ball strikers list. Jack said the same thing in "Golf, My Way". Tiger may think the same way. I've seen him say: "The hands win the race". You hit my problems in golf right on the head. "taking the shortest (and quickest) route to the ball is probably #1 in my list of swing faults.

I Tried this today at the range and it improved my driver and fairway/hybrid accuracy and distance, but not so much with my irons. I found that I was unable the physically uncock my wrists at the top during a swing without stopping. But if I used that action as a swing thought, I presume I did it to some degree because of the different outcome. Going forward I think I will physically uncock my wrists at the top in a practice swing and use the thought in the actual shot. Thank's for the tip 😊

Very interesting, not too dissimilar to Overhand golf where his ‘Holy Grail’ uses a force vector when the wheel spoke ( club shaft in his instance) is at or before parallel to ground . Very counter intuitive but def allows the club to freewheel properly through strike and beyond.

To me it makes all the sense in the world. Of course I'm going to try this down swing idea, as you described it, beginng the down swing in this fashion automatically sequences your body into a proper golf swing, also, this swing sequence makes it very hard to overswing the golf club. Thanks, I'll be looking for more golf ideas that make sense.

Good video but its not a new release, Jack Nickolas did the same release and said he couldn't release the club fast enough from the TOTBS. Steve Pratt has also been teaching this for over 10 years with his mentor being Mike Austin. I'm not sure but I think there's at least 2 different type of swings, The original swing all the past GOATs used and the modern thats mainly talked about today. A few of the pros that teach the OG swing talk about that move at the top that feels like a cast.

Very useful information. I have tried it and it certainly does help. Your image of the wheel helped me with both the backswing and especially the downswing. I have been struggling with hooks and overdraws. The new start of the backswing for me has solved or helped me to better understand what I was doing incorrectly. Of course the driving range and playing on the golf course are two different issues. No doubt I will practice to help ingrain my new swing motion. I appreciate your demonstration and explanation.

This is the way, for effortless speed. A bit like how the weight on a trebuchet gets further from the lever before it gets to maximum velocity, as the arms create more width straight from the top. Guess that's why others call it the catapult method? Hadn't thought about it affecting ground pressure in that way before either.

As someone who started golf later in life and has struggled throughout the years ( even though I managed to get my handicap down to single digits) I’ve never really felt as though I truly owned my swing, which has caused me to try innumerable swing changes. I've often lamented that I wish I had started to play the game as a youngster, as it seems the very best players ( at least at my club,) are the ones who started very early and seem to have it figured out. I plan to give your advice a serious try and hopefully this year will be better than those that have gone before. Cheers and thanks for the very clear instruction. MikeR. ( p.s.

Jonathan, you have helped me solve a problem I've been trying to solve for 2 years. For the longest time I've had an over-the-top motion that I can see when I record myself. It was gameable but it did cause some issues, and it rendered my driver useless at times. I've tried all sorts to get the club in the slot - dropping the hands, laying the club flat, increasing initial side bend etc - none of it felt natural or easy to consistently replicate, all because I was holding the angle in an attempt to whip the club late. A bit of time working on this and my swing looks visibly different, staying very nicely on plane and you can see my divots are no longer pointing left. Now they're straight, if not pointing slightly right, and it feels so easy! And best of all, I've been hitting my driver well again using this! Thanks so much for releasing this and your previous video ! 🙏🙏

Not really new. You’re just explaining how to maintain width in your down swing in a different way. I think this may lead to confusion in some trying to put this into practice leading to early extension and a loss of lag and forward shaft lean at impact. I think there are better ways to explain it. This move needs to be taught in person, not on the internet. Just my opinion.

The way you just explained it is exactly how I start my down swing and I swear I got 20 yards more distance in n my irons and way more height! The only thing I’m having issues with is I tend to Close my club face just a little and I pull hook or I don’t follow all the way through I block it 20 yards right.

I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THE CLUBHEAD MOVES AWAY FROM THE TARGET AT THE VERY START OF THE BACKSWING. THIS CREATES A NEGATIVE FORCE VECTOR. IF THE BODY IS IN BALANCE AT THIS START THE BODY WILL AUTOMATICALLY MAKEST A SMALL LOWER BODY MOVE TO MAINTAIN BALANCE. AS THE CLUBHEAD PASSES THE INITIAL “AWAY” MOVE, THIS LOWER BODY MOVE BECOMES UNOPPOSED. AND ITS MOMENTUM ASSISTS FURTHER LOWER BODY MOVEMENT TILL IMPACT

I understand what your doing but if I hinge or pivot my wrists early this may lead to my trail arm straightening out and that's not going to work.
