Thank you! I was working on a similar feel and this drill took it to the next level! Shot my lowest score in quite a while after just one practice!

I tried this yesterday on the practice range. This drill is soooo good for improving contact-distance-accuracy. Thanks for the clear and precise explanations.

Great to hear! Thank you, Bill!

This is a wonderful drill, Kerrod. Would this be used for both irons and woods? I can tell it just feels like it's going to help tremendously. Thank you!

This is probably the most important drill in the game of golf.

Strong comment and likely correct. Have been watching older 1950’s videos which emphasize forward press or weight shift after waggle (waggle reduces tension). I have noticed all past and present world class golfers end in balance and hips at or even left of target. It appears comfortable stature (from Harvey Penick), action-counter action, and this emphasis on full balanced finish should yield repeatable results

Hello, great Video and well explained. I have long had the problem that my wrists are faster than my body rotation. With the irons it now works quite well. Do you use the same technique with the woods? It seems to me that when I use my wrists with the woods, I hit better balls.

You deserve more subscribers. Thanks for the content and free help.

This is a beautiful drill! "The club is transported by the body." Perfect!

A great drill for a wally like me who's left elbow collapses straight after impact, and this the follow through is vertical and weak- many many thanks from a beginner !! 🙂

All good things take time Scott! Thanks for your comment.

What is the brand of your club with the copper color?

Nice drill.

Glad you like it

Is the face close or open at straight arm position?

Would it be better to start the drill in an ideal impact position with hips turned 45 degrees to target? Or is there a reason that he's starting in a regular closed address position?

I find even with this drills when the actual shot is hit I never ever get into this 'rehearsed' position. Maybe both arms are straighter than before but not like the slow mo ones...what am I missing here? Tks

Problem is you can still come over the top just rotating your torso. So how do come from the inside avoiding that issue?

Very useful practice drill . Thank you for this video.

You are welcome, Young!

Great, except why keep the head staying locked in the eyes down position? As you reach for the club with your trail arm/hand on the down swing, you naturally rotate your chest and head. Why not rotate the head earlier, which can only help the rotation of the body in sync with the club, and make it easier to have that straight/close arms position you are teaching.

I simply can't not get my lead arm or wrist to stop collapsing when I start adding speed. You'll probably say it's because I'm not rotating my body/chest enough and the club has outraced past the the pivot point. But idk, I think my wrists are just super weak and can't maintain that position. It's the same reason I can't get forward shaft lean. But on that issue it feels like you need your straight left arm to outrace the club on the way down which again is also impossible for me to execute. I think I may need to accept that I simply can't do it and should be okay with being a mediocre piece of crap the rest of my life.

I can relate. I collapse so bad post impact. Such a depressing thing in golf. Just want to quit. And I have chipping yips. Fucking sucks.

Try thinking about reducing tension in your arms/hands. It helps to also have the feeling that arms/club fall, before accelerating through. I’ve found this corrects most issues with arms/wrists feeling broke down - especially if you can focus on ending in the position this video describes.

@@bedi0008okay that’s actually wildly helpful. Because not only do we keep hearing pros say this in a similar way, but this is clearly what creates the very clear club lag in good/pro players. It really does have to be a whip. The end of the rope does not accelerate immediately on the crack back. Instead it “falls” from the force of the pivot point before violently accelerating. Will keep this in mind and report back.

it goes to the left since i'm trying to make my arms cross, but if i correct it with my hips and perpendicular angle of attack, it would not have the "arms crossed" look@@kerrodgraygolf (i'm right handed btw)

It's all relative to the sequence of your swing. The less your body rotates through impact the more the cluface will rotate

I want to see you do this from face on ( as you discussed at the end ).. ie, turn and swing towards camera

I can straight my arms pretty good when doing it slowly, but whenever I do full swing, I just can’t do it anymore

Start slow and build speed. Every 3 practice swings make a real swing.

2 issues with this drill as compared to the real swing. 1st, for most recreational golfers, keeping the head in the position you demonstrate will prevent them from turning their chest through impact & causes the arms to fold or into a chicken wing. Another issue can be too much grip pressure which causes tension in the arms which won't allow the arms to fully extend through impact. The head has to remain still & behind the ball but not locked downward towards it. The head has to be able to rotate toward the target from a stationary position or the torso will stop turning exactly as the body rotates around the spine in a stationary position. Obviously this is assuming that the correct posture is maintained. If you feel that this explanation is incorrect, please reply so that I'm not teaching myself bad habits. Thanks much!

Over complicated versus other extension drills

when your body movies in a split second, you won't be able to think of any of these movements. there are 2 movements that will get you into all those positions.
