Milo - Terrific instruction. I love the hockey stick involvement, and I've seen other videos where you've utilized it, which appears to mimic aspects of proper golf positions. I guess this helps me understand why hockey players transition to golf easily, and with great success, here in the New England. Thank you sir!

Yes, by no means a perfect switch, but I hear a lot of golfers in the north play both sports, and well! Thanks for watching.

Love the content, love the hockey stick, baseball analogies. Had a shoulder injury and decided to use the Milo athletic pivot. My arms are now floating in the honey pot and turning the door knob. So many good feelings and shot results. These changes “feel to me” like the club is getting into position, staying behind and never turning over out to the ball (tipping). The club feels so stable through impact. I was trying to time impact, now it happens naturally after impact. If I could putt I’d be dangerous. Thanks to Milo and Hank

I went through this transition also. I used to keep my feet close together because I felt I can hit it further with a rocking motion.

This guy is built near identical to me and faces similar issues. Love the hockey stick and split grip drills for feel. One thing you touched on was standing the shaft up and shallowing motion.

Milo, can you explain the purpose of holding off the release/keeping the right wrist hinge on the hockey swing or split grip? Is it so when you transition to a regular swing you have the feel of keeping the wrist extended longer?

It’s to force the player to pivot with the body. Once the body becomes active releasing the energy is easy.

I've been watching Milo for a while now. And trying to get the technique. However the closer i think i'm getting to it the more i am pushing it. Might that be the grip? For years i've played with a weak grip and flipped the hands so i'm thinking i may not be committing to the stronger grip (for fear of hitting the pull - my bad shot).

If you look at the left elbow movement around when he swings it better, it’s a totally different movement from what was advocated when swinging the hockey stick. I’m not sure the hockey stick was a good aid; he obviously has never played hockey. lol

Loved how you demonstrated things in slow motion. You’re starting to win me over, but struggling with the hanging on look of no release. Can you clarify the grip when you asked him about throwing and a hammer?

I prefer your style, butI can’t quite get this.

You can hit a push draw from open or closed stance, doesn't matter. It's all matchups, club face, and path. No need to hold off with that grip, in fact the release can be more stable this way.

This man has three major flaws and all of them are between his ears. He believes the wrong things and therefore he's trying to perform what he believes. Milo, you're changing his physical motion but it's not getting through to his brain. If you changed his intention first, his swing would be much easier to fix. He clearly believes that impact and address should be the same position and that the clubface has be facing upward to make the ball fly upward - both are false, (at least in belief.) The third flaw is that you have to swing toward the target to make the ball fly in that direction.

im sure everyone is going to get on me for this but it always amazes me when I watch a video of an instructor with 30K followers who does a swing analysis that is all over the place with vague terminology and no progression to how the swing is broken down. back swing is not too bad? what does that mean to the student, your sequence is a little off ? what does that mean? pushing the club out in front? And if you STOP the video right at 9:28, you can see that his left hand is too strong and his right hand is way too under the grip. you're going to hit it left all day when the path is too much along the upper plane line. Oh thats right there was no mention of that. But I'm sure Milo makes 100K a year .

Also I addressed his grip and the left hand was a tad stronger than my preference but the right was the hand causing his issues.
