Love how this video came out. It portrays well the experience of one of our schools and did a good job showing off some of my team’s abilities. The purpose of all of the exercises we do at the schools is to help students be able to move from thinking about the how of the swing towards the feelings of athletic movement in the swing.

@MiloLinesGolf

@@StoicsmDaily depends on how you define disconnect. I prefer the arms not stay attached to the body but they do need to move in sync with it. If you’d like a better answer I’d suggest you schedule a lesson or join my online academy where I can look at your swing and give personalized advice.

Wow! Great to see yourself along with Milo and Henry. This is what we all want to see, the drills and most importantly what the student feels and his feed back. Myself like you Brandon have struggled with the left and left going left for years. I see the loop now and the importance of a wider right arm and how the loop encourages right arm under left. The entire video is one of the best videos ever shown on the KZread channel in terms of teachings and teaching aids along with the professional and students instant feed back. Can’t wait to see day number two.

Fascinating! Really trying to get it right. I shall try to work this hard! Congratulations on your persistence!!

Definitely making good progress on Drill 1 & 2 It was great to see Milo help u near the end your very close good luck. Milo and crew are fantastic .

Milo is a great teacher and you made good progress but the whole end of the video I just kept yelling in my head "stop turning before you drop your hands!" You are spinning out before your hands get a chance to drop. Watch Milo's full swing. The hands and club drop to about 3/4 to mid hip and then he turns hard. That's part of why you only go hip high in the step one drill when only using your body to turn. This has been your biggest swing flaw for as long as i have watched the channel. Hope this makes sense. Please don't take this as a negative comment. Love the channel man!

The key is that the hands drop because of the hip flexion and thoracic bend not the dropping of the arms alone. If you look at the best ball strikers 3d motions you’ll actually see the hands are actually moving relatively more up and across their chest in the early parts of the downswing thus the lowering is coming from lead arm adduction hip flexion and thoracic side bend.

Great video Brendon. Having the gem for 2 months now multiple realizations have been made. But one that relates to this video would be to feel your right arm "shake hands" after impact. The hips don't move laterally when the body turn closes the clubface with appropriate side bend. Milo exemplifies this brilliantly at the end as his right arm extends after impact and the hips don't sway. The result = the force of the lead leg moves up and backwards or away from the target as they twist. Then you have a very repeatable ground strike and shows up through out the bag: chipping and putting. Even when putting the energy into the ball gives a dependable, steady clubface. Thanks to you, the gem keeps allowing me to discover and find this game (swing) fascinating and i'm getting better, a lot better. Thanks so much for what you do!

Probably your best content so far. Excellent video

Hi guys, great video seen you do this stage 1 & 2 with milo last year also, wanted to try it out for myself so have only started doing it my back garden with the 60 wedge as I don't have a long garden lol , the club wants to keep overtaking my hands in the downswing so it something I need to work on, just wanted to ask what would be the best club to use when trying to take stage 1 to the range? Maybe a 8 iron ...... keep up the good work

Thank you Brendon, Milo and others for this video. There is alot more indepth analysis with different words used than before; which makes alot of sense :) I've been following Brendons journey for quite some time too and one thing which surpises me is that no teacher ever picks up on Brendons tendency to do practice swings over the ball where he misses the ball from the inside say 5 inches, moves feet towards ball 1 inches and hits the ball. That to me seems like a training and different motor pattern than what is needed to be executed at the ball. Examples at around 47-minute mark :) Thank you gents

Love this one ❤️❤️⛳️👍🏾

Thanks for posting Brendon! I think the issue with your hands moving out in transition could be that right elbow bending too much too soon in the back swing. Try setting up with a club then slowly take the club back and watch what happens when you bend that right elbow. The hands and grip move immediately inside. Milo was telling you to keep your right elbow straighter longer. Keep working on it!

Brendon I feel your pain it’s hard to change the pattern you have . Used for years. Keep trying as I know you will I’m wearing out my back trying to get a pivot driven swing.

Stipulating to the fact I have a "bad" (arthritic) back and my ability to separate and turn is limited (as well as that I'm just a layman), the idea that I'm having most difficulty with is pivoting my lead hip away (to the left, as I'm a right-hander) almost immediately after the drop in the downswing. No weight transfer forward (that is done while the club is back behind you). It's like a gate, the trail hip/leg stays where it is and the lead hip just swivels away. You feel almost like you're falling back. Otherwise I will come over the ball and hit dead left (and I mean basically 90 degrees). The test is whether or not I can slow things down, which tells me my old habits aren't taking over. Oh, this is so much fun! :)

Thanks for the lengthy video! How does your swing here feel the same or different to the GEM?

I feel the Difference of a Right Cross , and a Right Uppercut when I hit it well Using Milos drills, the Hockey stick Vids from him have def helped me a lot too ! I struggle to feel my Sternum turn before I do anything with my arms / hands... OH Yea and thanks for all your work Boss !

The swing at 51:18 is the best I've seen you move since the night time lesson you did with GG a number of years ago. It is the swing just after Milo holds the club from releasing as you practice firing your body. Put that in a bottle.

Great video. Lots of takeaways from this. You really need to have a good set of eyes on you or at least video to show someone like Milo to let them see what is going on. For my own swing I know what I am supposed to do but the how is the elusive part that I am chasing. Thanks for the video and appreciate the level of effort you put into improving.

I would love to see you try ott miracle Swing from Christo you and I have the same problem I have tried doing this move forever just couldn’t get it 🤷‍♂️

Foundation 2 is a "check swing" or think of doing a long chip. Don't let go of the hinge at impact. I see people doing a full release. This is incredibly tough but once you get the feel it's incredible. Regards,

Patterns are difficult to shift

It looks like the outside of your right shoulder and hip are glued to a vertical metal rod. So with the extremely fast hips you have it makes your shoulder plane follow/pull/yank to the pull side. Which which in turn makes the over the top look/feel you have persistent. I wonder if you were to work your shoulder plane separately from your hips if that would be corrected. I struggle with this same move and i think the pointers in the video will help me correct it.

Sneed has a move where his hand path that comes over the top but it looks like it at the finish of the backswing not the start of the downswing.

If you watch the space between the teacher’s elbows it does not change, you have always increased that space right off the ball, which cause the left arm to move out towards the ball and the club head gets sucked inside. It also cause a lot of slack in your swing at the top, keep the space between the elbows the same at least to P3 while keeping upper part of left arm pinned to chest while also keeping right arm 90+ degrees at top will help improve timing and will shorten your backswing. Also imagine the shaft of your club following the angle of your shaft at address at the start of backswing just for first few feet, will get you started on plane.

Brendon, you are tying yourself in knots now listening to all this stuff. Release hands and arms. Swing.

Strong grip works the best for this swing change?

Hi Brandon, have you ever talked to Milo, reference Gem Training Aid and did you think about it during your two day school ?

Still standing up a lot on your backswing ( 40.29 - 40.37 ) yes you lower coming down but is it enough ? I had the same problem but now I lower a little like Milo , Rory D.J, Tiger etc . I think this could be why you struggle to shallow the club ? getting down early is much easier , I can tell you from my own experience.

GF , i do have videos. we're about to introduce a swing that changes everything. single axis maximum torque coming soon.

Brendon, The progression of movements in this video coupled with the teaching by all of the instructors provides clarity as to what many of us need to refocus on to improve. I'm 3000 miles away in New England, this gives me things to work on I can do in the house to reprogram. Thank you for this video and your channel.

Don't we all feel that same thing. The frustration when the exercises just refuse to bleed into the swing itself. Takes a loong time to undo what the brain has set you up with, keep at it!

Swing at 38 looks like a better hand plane at the transition! Red sheet is doing what I’m describing. Shallow the shaft not the arms!

I attended a Top 25 school (3-day) twice over about a 3 year period (down to single digits). Honestly, this clinic does not look like anything I’d take.

@@BEBETTERGOLF Thanks for the response. When I see the motion that Milo recommends, I can't help but think of a top spin forehand in tennis. You swing your arm a little away from your body with the racket head vertical, then you plant your weight on your front foot and then you swing your hips. There's a weight shift and a hip turn, but not real hip slide. Do you think this comparison is accurate?

Brendon 29:50 - That move right there was my aha moment on Milo's group (I actually posted it as well). Milo, Henry and Ed had all tried to get me moving correctly but until I over exaggerated that that 'bounce into right bend' (as Henry put it) I could never feel or get that club dropping\shallowing behind me. Also when you are working on the hand path later in the vid, I had a hard time with this until I did about 2 weeks of live drills where I would feel like my arms and hands were miles outside then looped back and behind (and with the move Henry spoke about at 29:50) , then you can start feeling the club head really fall behind you. You have to make an severe conscience effort to not hit at the ball with the arms/hands/club and to turn through, Also, the secret to not hitting fat is the turn, don't stop turning towards the target once you master getting the hands dropping into the slot and not out at the ball.

Good analysis Matt. The thing that helped me keep my hands outside was when Milo talked about not letting the right arm bend so soon. The feeling of pushing the club away from we and keeping it away helped me keep my arms moving with my chest vs yanking it behind

It seems like Brendon is using a lot of arms in Foundation #1 vs torso turn as Milo explained in the beginning…I don’t know, your foundation 1 swing just looks completely different from everyone else.

That's the Trevino move around 50 minutes in?

At 23:10 you made a swing with your hand path on a good plane. I’ve been watching you for at least a year and your hand path in the transition is moving forward out of plane and drives me crazy to see nobody focusing on that. Also look at what you are doing with your hand and arm path on your practice down swings. You drop your hands and arms way inside. The club head is going to drop inside as the shaft shallows not your hands and arms. Swing looks really good with the hockey stick! You shallow the hockey stick without that weird hand path.

Are you still using the gem ?

If you watch your swing in slow motion, at the top of the backswing in the beginning of the downswing you’ll notice your hands are still coming over the top in a slight clockwise direction instead of a counterclockwise move. You’ve had a 100 lessons with different teachers and you still do that over the top move. Fix that!

It is so difficult to make changes as it does take hundreds of half shots at half speed when the temptation is to blast balls. 😂

I have been watching Brendon now for the past few years and I know he is a very good low handicap player. In my previous experience going to golf schools before I have experienced when you have a big mix of golfers (from high to low) the teaching staff tends to spend more time with the high handicappers. Which makes sense since they need more instruction than the better players do. So I wonder whether the there should be a advanced golf school for the better players? Or split the class into two sessions, one for each category of player? I have felt I have not gotten the value I should have being in the better golfer group as the higher player group.

Brendan. You need to start trying to feel the things you are shown a little more. Biggest issue is you always start downswing with right shoulder and hips spinning out. Even on the slo mo ones you do not drop your hands, don’t push left hip back (”zipper away drill”), don’t keep clubhead back etc. You can improve a lot once you slow down to concentrate on the changed feel more. It needs to feel totally wrong to change. Hand dropping straight down from the top without spinning your shoulder at all is a disturbing feeling but it must happen. So you need to exaggerate, and slow down and ensure you get the feeling right.

almost all the great ball strikers historically except Trevino bring the hands under and up to plane. Snead, Hogan, Moe Norman. Bobby Jones. They didn't pull the clubhead inside though. If you bring your hands more inside on the backswing the pull will go away. Go look at the old footage of the greats from down the line. This over, under loop is more the exception than the rule. I'm talking hand path, not clubhead. Hands in and let the clubhead trail.

IMHO. The main issue I see is the fact looking DTL your first move is always out which means you HAVE to come “across/over the top. if you release properly it will go left so to prevent that you hold off subconsciously to varying degrees. Look at 55.00 where milo tries to show u the feeling. Try this drill. Hold a book between your hands. Go to the top of your backswing and as you start down try to get your left hand under you right so the book is parallel to the ground. That will give u the correct feeling.u won’t achieve it in real life, it’s just a drill to give u a feeling

Lead arm is staying up too long in the transition/D.S. That will never change as you are told to turn into that arm. The lead arm needs to lower a lot sooner before your rotation starts to take over. You will always have that issue of pulls and the appearance of your hand path going outwards because of this. The lead arm has to lower sooner, otherwise the torso will push the arm outwards while the arm is too high resulting in the hand path going too much outwards and not enough down and staying inwards.
