yea i'm glad i bought one of these monitors for practice as i can now tell if i'm hitting the ball poorly or if its just a slow swing speed in comparison whereas before i wasn't actually sure where i was going wrong. Have only had the swing caddie for 3 weeks and struggled to reach 110mph swing speed at first, now 115mph doesnt even seem all that difficult. Great video

Sharpen up!

Classic. "I gotta go!" Man, Milke Malaska is my hero. He just gets to the point. I love it. I got alot from what he said in this video. If you can't hit it solid with the extra "clubhead speed" it doesn't make sense to try to play from there. Gosh. So glad I fell upon this, now I can dismiss trying to get more when I'm good where I'm at. Booyah!

What Mike teaches from 11:50-14:30 is a perfect explanation. It goes hand in hand with everything I teach as well.

Golfletics boy are you right. You know I remember swinging my grass cutter in the yard. And I would stomp on my lead foot, and then swoosh the grass cutter through the grass. It was THE most powerful feeling. Why in the wide, wide world of sports did I ever forget that? This part of the lesson has really opened my mind up again. I tried swinging a short club upside down like I used to do with the grass cutter - magic! Mike's a dang-gum genius!

Absolute revelation for me. been so focused on mechanics of grip, weight transfer, plain, even posture that the sheer simplicity of this lesson is so freeing. the simplest ideas are the best. these guys of Jacks generation really did figure it all out.

One day (15 years ago) I was down the range and I hit it like a GOD for about 30 minutes. Like so pure it was seriously funny. My only swing thought was to swing like a ballerina, to this day I have never been able to recreate how pure I hit the ball that day. This video explains how and why, it is THE video I didn't know I needed to watch. So glad the 20 minutes length time didn't put me off. Pure gold...

This video is absolute Gold. As someone else stated, you can watch this over and over and grab new nuggets and feels.

23:39 - priceless. "Alright. I gotta go"

106mph to 115mph in 10 swings? Impressive! Well done Brendan! Saw Mike a couple of years ago and it improved my swing. He’s definitely the real deal.

I was stuck on 12 hcp for over 10 years; Malaska got me down to a 5, broke par (-2) in June for the first time. This video is KEY. TY MM!

The fact I realised this yesterday when I was playing and now I can confirm it was where I was going wrong is awesome keep up the awesome work!

Your light bulb moment around 10:32 when he tells you to “just add some body turn” with the alignment stick is pure gold.

Thank you guys, this is the best video about speed, I´ve ever seen.

Enjoying these Malaska video series. Love how Mike rips it with his first swing! And makes it look effortless!

This clicked for me and I got results pretty fast. I have always seen ball throwing drill but it finally worked for me... now I literally imagine I’m holding a ball in my right hand and throwing it at the ball and my swing pretty naturally falls into place (as long as I have a proper backswing) this stuff is gold. Mike is excellent... I now know what he means when he says Dustin Johnson just tries to flip his wrist when he gets into the hitting zone.

Fabulous video, clicked onto it by error, but what an insight of relaxing and creating clubhead speed! Fred couples is a good example! Got it now! Cheers!

Arguably the best description of ball speed (distance = speed x efficiency) I've ever heard.

Great video that taught me a lot. One of the best teaching video's I have seen.

i will say this about this video: I have been a plus handicap for 25 years and 'thought' I knew most all there was to know about the golf swing. I have played tournament golf, taught lessons, read books, and practiced day after day for decades. I now realize, I know nothing. This is truly an eye opener and I am soaking up every work Mike says. Thank you for this video and the others. This is absolutely a life changer.

Agreed - just watched this and feel like I've wasted the last 15 years trying to use my lower body to generate speed. Can't wait to try this technique at the range.

Love love love this! Mike is a great teacher. Sees the finer details and gives the student just what they need.

Terrific lesson. A must watch to understand speed vs. efficiency . Thanks for this Brendon and Mike!

Best explanation I've seen in a while, Mike is AWESOME!!! You guys make a great pair for these vids

This was like a myth buster conversation about swing speed. Excellent information. Can’t wait to experiment with it.

Love this so much! Very clear guidance: Effortless swing + smash factor = ball speed.

Brendon, you need to drop all those other instructors and stick with Mike. This man will get you to the next level. You're filing your head with too much information. Thanks for the introduction to Mike!

This video is one that truly answers your questions! THANKS

I played a lot of golf with a young lady is Florida. She was average in size, height, and build. But she could hit the ball phenomenal distances. She was way longer on drives than any man in the club. Jimmy Ballard thought she was the sixth longest female driver in the world. When I asked how she does that she told me it was TURN SPEED. She also said, "you can't see that". She said Jimmy and I work on my turn speed constantly. You are right. The lateral slide went out with Curtis Strange's back to back U.S. Open wins. I think that too was Ballard's swing. The modern golf swing is body turn. Even Nicklaus said that he would do that starting out today. It is a better and more reliable golf swing. I've done both but the turning swing revived me at an older age. Older people don't lateral slide as well. BTW - She had very well to do parents who funded her lessons. She never did make the tour. Didn't like to practice her short game. I do think she won the Florida Women's Amateur.

First video I've seen focusing on striking efficiency before trying to increase club head speed. Makes perfect sense to me.

lol i wish i had a coach... i never practiced , i never took it seriously because nobody was stern. This coach is exactly what i needed, I was a 6 handicap 5.8 index at 16 years old. Didn’t play during winter or spring ever really, while all the other kids were at the range every day year around. One of the biggest regrets of my life, I was too worried about being “cool” and partying. I could’ve been a scratch golfer easily if I just focused. So for those of you who are young and taking golf seriously and practicing, good for you! For those who are on the fence and just naturally athletic or talented , GO FOR IT , cuz if you don’t you’ll sincerely regret it.

Love the random video bomber strolling in front of the range at the start 😅

That is so true, "muscle go slower when they are tight". That was my problem, when I think of hitting the ball really hard, I tend to tighten my muscle and the ball won't even pass 150 yards, but when I just relax and hit the ball, it goes will over 200 yards. That is a great tip. Thank You!

thanks for good instruction!! no tension on shoulders sockets. improve the smash factor! efficiency is important, indeed!!! again good lesson. ray

Great video! Mike is the man!

I'm always trying to tell people how I hit it as far as I do but look very effortless. I tell them they need to keep their arms and wrists loose but didn't know how to convey that. This will really help and explains what I feel like when I hit it!

The world needs more teachers like Mike. He is such a great teacher

Good video its the best I've seen to raise club speed

Great content. Explanations helped a lot!

Very simple how it should be! Great video amazing instruction

Awesome content Brendon!

Wow, great video. Mike, you are one of a very few golf teachers who makes a common sense. Also I watched your putting video and that was great too. Thanks, MASTER!

I watched this video 1 year ago and I did not get at the time. This week while having a relaxed practise swing concentrating on the swish at the ball I suddenly had an eureka moment. I managed to replicate this for the remainder of my game and was amazed at the easy swing with increased distance and accuracy. Glad I found this video again.

THANK YOU! That was easily the best and most informative golf lesson I've seen on KZread.

Such a great video! 👍

Great lesson! You really know your stuff!

11 15 till 14 30 for me is the light bulb moment ive been looking for the final piece to the puzzle and this is it for me aewsome 😀😀😀👍👍👍brilliantly done guys thanks for the help

It's great, alright. Another way to explain it is that a swing is a curved motion, and what the torso and legs do has to be compatible with that. If you slide the knees "down the line" in a straight line, it's like spinning a weight on a string with your hand and then moving your hand in a straight line through space. The speed dies out and the orbit gets distorted, with the weight bouncing all over the place. So many people don't understand that the swinging motion, not the levering-thrusting-pushing motion, is by far the most effective and efficient speed-producing motion the body can produce with a golf club. Same for swinging a bat, actually, or a tennis racket. The more you try to make geometric straight lines in the motion, the more incompatible it is with what the body actually does well.

Thanks once again! I am learning and improving along with you! Well maybe not quite a fast...

Lots of fun watching. At first, I was like why does Mike complicate things so much, but the more I listen, the simpler it gets. Thanks to both of you.

Best video about distance and speed I've seen yet.

This is pure golfing gold here.

It is mind boggling what happens from relaxed practice swings. I sometimes turn into King Kong. What a mental game. Thanks for the video. I appreciate your time.

Very helpful. Last season I signed up at the Malaska gold site. I had success early but near the end of the season I started struggling with iron play. Started hitting thin and lower trajectory shots. I could not solve it. The only draw back to the online lesson format is no way to get a personal lesson to help workout the issue. Anyway, I highly recommend his site. Lots of useful info, drills and theory about how to play the game.

17:38 - 17:44 are 6 seconds of hilarity. Great vid. What Mike said about tension is spot on.

CD the look away aka when adhd hits overdrive

I love listening to Mike and how he explains thinks ,the knowledge he has I find fascinating

I read a book years ago called "Peak Performance" and it dealt with athletic training and didn't deal with any sport specifically. One line from that book that I have never forgotten was, "...relaxed muscles move faster than tense muscles." It is CRITICAL to remain as relaxed as possible and focus all of your efforts on technique. It's hard to accept, especially for guys but it really has very little do with strength, it's all about technique. I can't wait to try this next trip to the range! Great video guys, except for the dope who walked through your shot, totally oblivious to the camera! lol.

This is the BEST video I’ve ever seen on how to get more club head speed by far! Thanks for this video

no joke, this just blew my mind lol. Can't wait to head to the range and try this tonight

Mike your absolutely right about Sandy Koufax! He played for 12 years and in his first 5 seasons he had the speed and absolutely no control of his fast ball, this video is so good it explains the concept of control and speed, look at Fred Couple’s swing

Excellent video!

I have taken this into practice for the past 2 weeks and have seen tremendous gains and accuracy. Yesterday I played Chantilly National from the tips (Black tees). For the most part I was out driving or on a few occasions few yards shorter then my friends who were teeing off from the white tees. I am hitting the ball at or near dead center with greater smash factor with less effort. I am even hitting further than when I was teeing off from the blue tees. For the first time my swing feels free of tension or strain and now have a better release. Best thing for me is that I no longer have soreness in my arms, shoulders or back the next day. Club head driver speed when from 108 to 117..avg is about 114. The worst thing now is the recalibration of my iron distances...im hitting them further too. Its simple try it and FREE YOUR SWING!!!

Everything this man says is GOLDEN

Great must try and try to remember thinking of a Sam Snead comment was it stay oily or stay greasy same principle I think

"The stable left side puts the brakes on the handle and accelerates the club head " Gold!

really good lesson.

I am reading an e-book by Shawn Humphries/Brad Townsend - Two Steps to a Perfect Golf Swing and I thought about what Malaska was preaching. They are the same process but was broken down in details and illustrated well. I felt improvement on my swing.

You have a new subscriber! Brilliant video, will make my pre shot and shot making much different. Off to the driving range to try out.

Day 4,324: Still trying to find a Malaska video where he doesn't mention "Jack". Will try again tomorrow. Will not give up hope.

I think a good analogy is a door hinge. If the door hinge is rusted the door is not going to move well but if the hinge is nice and loose, you could slam the door and get a lot of speed out of the door. Think of the wrists and shoulders as those hinges. The tighter the muscles in those joints are, in essence, the more friction there is, and the slower those hinges in your body will move. Nunchucks are another good analogy as to why we need the wrist and the shoulders to create speed. When you swing a nunchuck, the piece you’re holding doesn’t move anywhere near as fast as the piece on the other end of the chain. That chain is like our wrists. If the chain is stiff the outside piece is not going to move that fast but if the chain is nice and loose, it’s going to whip around. The looser the chain is the faster that outside piece of the nunchuck will whip for a given speed of the inside piece that is being held. On the other hand, you could’ve learned all that from their excellent explanations. This is a great video.

I love the guy walking across the shot at the beginning.

Mr. Malaska is a master! Thank you sir!

THIS ... is as good as it gets.

even my 3 years old boy understand his golf teaching. really good teacher!

Brendan your swing is looking great!

Be Better Golf: I've scoured youtube and watched face-on slow motion videos of the best players and they all turn and "slide". From Grant Waite to Rory McIlroy they all slide and quite a bit. However, I do believe your right on the tension in the shoulders.

If you’re going to use chalk to figure out where you’re hitting it on the face with a driver, keep in mind that within the last 15 years or so the engineering that goes into optimizing launch and ball speed has inadvertently shifted where the sweet spot of the driver is. Almost all new drivers sweet spots are a little higher and more towards the toe than the middle of the face. This isn’t an anecdote - it’s a fact. The engineers at Titleist told us not to worry about it because your body is going to figure out where the sweet spot has shifted to (non-consciously) and to let that happen naturally. But if you’re wondering why the imprints always looks to be slightly above the sweet spot and slightly towards the toe with the driver, don’t get worked up over it ... you’re actually hitting the sweet spot! It’s not going to be crazy, just a little high and a little outwards. Smack dab in the middle (crazy as it sounds) means you’re below the sweet spot. Low and towards the heel or toe is a death move - seek help immediately 😳!

It's always good to see Mike explaining better ways to approach the game . I think his knowledge has become so extensive over the years , that he has 4 or 5 ways to explain the same point ( good if you weren't listening closely the first time ) . As for the other guy ( ? Brendon ) , he doesn't seem to be able to stand still for more than 3 seconds ... very distracting . And disrespectful of " The Pro " !

Why is it because one person is not like the other it has to be disrespectful? Distracting maybe, yes, but disrespectful? I didn't hear him talking over Mike, or constantly interrupting with dissenting comments. ADHD anyone? Impulse? It may be distracting to you, but quite normal for him. I work with baseball/softball players and each one is different. Some are very calm, patient and 'attentive', while some are not. A good instructor, in my opinion, adapts to his students strengths and style to make them better.

Well said Richard. As a school teacher of 25 yrs your comments are spot on

I've seen a lot of instructors and one of the most common things is that they're trying to come up with their own complicated lingo. Everyone is trying to sound smart and, therefore, can justify their outrageous fees. It's apparent that Mike knows the golf swing. I so much appreciate his basic explanation of what others are complicating. As others have said, this is gold! The analogy of the runners training to run faster by running downhill is apropos. Swinging with an alignment rod, or the club upside down, is a great way to get the body to feel the speed. Love it!

your swing with that stick was one of your best swings ive ever seen you have

As usual, Mike explains it so the layman can understand!

I really liked Mike's analogy. All this time I was trying to focus so much on using my legs then my torso and I would always get out of balance.

great video
