The best golf gems I learn are always from Mike. What a master of his craft!

I had the exact “shank” producing issue because I was obsessed with getting the shaft leaning forward at impact. This tutorial is a mind blowing gem, thank you!

You can see how passionate Mike is to teach the game of golf , just amazing. This is my favorite golf lesson video, made a huge difference in my game. Thank you Mike and Brendon. 🙏

Brendan, just want to say thank you for putting all of yourself out there to ask questions, and be willing to learn. I've learned a lot through your channel, and you have forwarded me along to a ton of absolute masters of Golf that I would have really never come across, or understood, if you hadn't been there to ask the "amature questions". #1 - I'm sure you are way better than me, so "amature questions" is an understatement. You do great. Thank you for putting forth that finances to take those lessons, and give it to us for free here. Truly.

Malaska and Danny Maude are the 2 best instructors around. Mike goes more in depth and Danny simplifies anything complicated…having both subscribed is a blessing… good job!

Tough spot for both -Brendan, who needs new content each week and Mike who , wants to be kind enough to explore issues.

Mike Malaska is THE instructor. He knows the golf swing better than most but he also knows how to make us understand it.

"See, you're doing your golf teacher thing, because you're gettin' ME to figure it out for you". After the instructor had literally told him the concept of the left leaning shaft three or four times. Mike Malaska is an extremely tolerant, patient man.

Brendan one of your best videos ever. Mike malaska is the most practical golf teacher I've ever listened to. Thank you Mike!!!

That SOUND is incredible! Such a big difference!

After watching this video a few times I went and practiced my swing at the range. Yesterday I competed at a local club and hit a 75 the best gross of the day. I’m a 10 hcp player. This proves his teaching works. Thank you so much. Best video ever!

Mike’s knowledge of the golf swing and his excellent instructional skills is what shines through. Legend

That moment when you find your happy place @8:43, and Mike’s reaction, Let’s not get carried away 😂😂 Great video man, keep it up!!

Hands down the best instructor I've seen in youtube videos. And I've watched far tooooo many.

Thank you Mike. I was at a point ready to quit golf because I was SHANKING MY WEDGES. This explanation has given life and excitement for my game. Mike you are the BEST. TKS AGAIN.

This was a heartbreaker Brandon. It's amazing you didn't realize the hands are going around to get shaft lean.(and hopefully upwards too) Shows how strange the game is. I'm disappointed in the guy with that training aid never having made this clear. Bernie? One thing that tended to help my students was realizing the left arm moved across the body from address position in the backswing and that it doesn't get back to address position until after impact. So you have to start going around the corner with the pivot to get the clubhead to the ball. It sounds counter intuitive but it actually advances the handle . You don't want to feel the left arm moving targetward away from body to get shaft lean. That won't work. This lesson blew my mind because if anyone should have known this it's you I'm not belittling you, I'm just pointing out how we take conceptual stuff for granted and we get stuck not realizing we have a major conceptual flaw. I think you should take a look at your lie angles if you start doing this well. You'll need them flatter because your hands will be lower . Flatter gives you permission to go around the corner. Upright does not. Because the ball will go left. Seriously check this. And the divot should have a leftward tail. You actually compressed a few here . Compression is not just a vertical event hands leading deloftrd etc .. By going around the corner you "collect" the ball in the arc with the face maintaining synchronized squareness to the arc. Thats when we really compress it . Anyway, mind blower here. I think it's bigger than you think. Your not quite right motion heretofor makes sense to me now. I see what you were trying to do. Seriously big conceptual leap here. Congrats.

Just love your approach Mike, and your explanation of how many golfers through a poorly understood concept can practice at actually getting worse, not better. You can see the lightbulb moment for Brendan.

I find that your videos, usually with Mike or Monte, have those tiny nuggets of knowledge that incrementally help me understand my swing better.

This was a lightbulb moment for me. My contact has transformed having watched this. Thank you so much!

You don't just watch a Mike Malaska video once... This was SUCH an insightful video. Thanks guys! Play well and enjoy!

This is the best teacher you have had on your channel

Watched a lot of these videos and this is by far the best I've ever seen him swing the clubr. Not even close.

This was the best lesson I have ever seen regarding face/path and the swing circle I have ever seen. Wonderful discussion and a much more full understanding of what these are and how they apply to the elusive golf swing.

0:43 I was going through this VERBATIM 2 days ago at the range . Its like you read my mind and made a video specifically for me. Thank you , cant wait to try this at the range tomorrow.

Brendon, I've been trying a whole bunch of different things to get shaft lean the past couple of years. I think the answer is closer than we think. To get shaft lean you've got to have a flat/bowed left wrist and right wrist extension at impact. I've kind of always thought if I have a good swing it will naturally happen, I don't think this is the case.. To get shaft learn you've gotta bow/extend your wrist. I have a strong grip, I bow my left wrist and extend my right wrist in the backswing and then all the way throughout my downswing feel like I'm bowing and extending my wrists even more. The trick to this is having low tension in your wrists. The constant bowing into impact will get you the shaft lean, and the loose wrists will allow the club to swing through without holding it off.

He is a close talker, I can tell he gets right in your face to talk and crowds you and you step back. I have met people like that.

Mike has the patience of a master instructor. Sometimes it just takes a few more repetitions to get the point to sink in. Brendan just needed to make the info his own in his own way. Kudos to Mike for allowing that to happen.

And that's saved to the practice playlist. Appreciate all the work Mike has put into understanding the science/mechanics of the swing.

The best instructional video I have ever...over many years...watched!! Brilliant

Great video 👍 thank you. 11:28 1 second on the clock face (or one minute)= 6 degrees, which is around 21 yards offline for a 200 yard drive, 32 yards offline for a 300 yard drive.

Man I love Mike. This is the first time I’ve heard these things and I’ve watched thousands of golf instruction videos.

OMG..... I seriously appreciate the level of detail from Mike. I often look at the head of a club and wonder "what the heck am I doing with this thing?" Mike really helps me to visualize what's happening.

Mike, great instructor, mind blowing easy corrections that make a big difference

Fantastic tip and explanation- as it explains one of the problems I’ve had for years - 15 yards left - and knowledge of how the pros set their clubs down behind the ball. Excellent

I love you guys! This clicks with me a lot! It explains to me the shank when my hands feel too far away from my belly every now and then. It also explains my pulled(or hook) shots when I am not aligned properly at address....too closed. I am going to pay way more attention to those at the next range session. Thanks!!!

Wow, this lesson just blew my mind! Never thought of the path of my hands like that and its relation to the club face at impact like this before, but it would explain a number of my mishits. I've made the adjustment to thinking/visualizing the club head path as being on that arc (seeing golf as a game of curves rather than straight lines), but applying it more to my hands in this manner is the next step. Can't wait to try this!

Such a good video and this will help whoever watches it. Honestly think this will transform my swing. 🙏👍 So funny when You do something right as a result of Mike’s coaching and he does that step in move and is right in your face. An amazing coach and cool fella.

"... Now we got a chance" - I love Mike :-)

“I see no future for my golf game from the face-on view... when I’m seeing that” (1:15). My sentiments exactly about my own golf game! I am loving these posted lessons with Mike!! I’m learning alongside you-great content!

This was a wonderful lesson for me as well. Thank you Mike Malaska!

Best Video I have seen in the last 5 years! Mike, where was your coaching 40 years ago; I have to believe this concept would have prevented two back surgeries. God Bless.

Mike took only 15 mins to fix Brendon impact, impressive! Thanks pal, this means a lot to me since I start teaching golf to my buddy 🤙

This could be (for me) the best Video Mike has done. 1st time in 40 years I really have a true understanding of impact!

I like "I feel Dustin Johnson" @ 8:45. Thanks for introducing Mike to us. I use all his concepts and feel better about my golf.

Same problem troubling my swing by shanks now and then. I had no clue what the cause was until this very lesson! Thank you so much for this great lesson!

That was really good!! I’ve had the exact same issue with shaft lean, shanking while practicing, club position slightly open, etc,etc!

I've been playing for a LONG time, quite well, but with a "square" clubface at address (which really means closed at impact). When I was younger I could fix those issues with my hands, most of the time, at impact. After watching this video, and a couple of others from Mike, I noticed immediately a couple of things. One, when I took a practice swing, I could generate a lot of speed, but on real swings it was slower. That's because, I believe, I was manipulating the clubface in order to not hook the ball off the planet. Within just a few swings with the face set to what I felt was quite "open", I could swing aggressively without manipulating the clubface with my hands and the ball went straight. VERY straight. This is such an eye opener for me.

The amount of value here is amazing. Many many thanks.

The second half of this was a real revelation. I had never considered the difference of the face angle in the last few millimeters before impact and have always tried to set up with a club face square to the flight line. This minuscule detail could be a game-changer for me. Thanks B. Thanks Mike.

Good one guys! Hand path, hand strike position, shaft and club head angle and line to ball, all in relation to swing arc.. . Explained very simply Mike...

This video was truly enlightening, I’ve obsessed with the hands ahead of the club head for a while, and this has really helped me understand the whole concept, thanks! 👍

I'm glad I watched this again before going out to the range today to drive myself nutz. Thanks, guys.

This is the best lesson vlog you've ever done maybe the best impact position lesson ever. 💡 moment for me

This is awesome Brendan! I’m working on the same exact stuff. Less strong club face with the hands exiting more left/closer to my body

Cracking video B. I've been striking the ball relatively well but neglecting my hands and focusing too much on the body, will have to give this a go.

Mike is without question the best teacher and communicator in golf...I’m flushing it because of his work.

OMG! I do the same thing he does...2-3° hooded, heel hits, feeling like my hand path gets too far away from me. Very timely. Thanks guys!

This is GOLD!!! This isn't for "slicers", or over the top guys. This swinging left thing is more for accomplished players who approach the ball from the inside. We learned years ago how to draw the ball, and it's turned into blocks, hooks, and shanks because we've started pushing the handle out at impact. You have to learn how to swing the handle left, while allowing the club head to still approach the ball from slightly in to out.

Terrific video and teaching by Mike. It highlighted for me a reason for the “unmentionable” shot which is not covered in various shank solutions I have checked out recently. Looking forward to using the advice !

Brenden did a fantastic job getting Mike for this project he started but Mike is absolutely fantastic. His personality and knowledge is exceptional.

Homer Kelley had a few things wrong but he understood 3D impact and the illusions in golf. If you go down the path of an illusion rather than a concept you’ll never get better. Unless you understand the illusions, then you can make them work for you. Now you’ve got an exit strategy for your club coming into the ball. 99% of golfers don’t understand how to move through impact, as you have shown. Your good impacts sounded professional. Great video.

Lag has no release vs throwaway: if every pro has throwaway then maybe theoretically it works but reality says the brain/body has to do something less than perfect. But he wasn’t an athlete. Then some real things like the kinematic sequence, the initial axis tilt at separation for horizontal hinge and angle hinge is reversed. Top ball strikers don’t release swivel.

Incredible lesson.....very easy to understand for me from Indonesia

The sound is everything. Prefix and postfix impact sound comparison is amazing.

My favorite part, well, favorite 2 parts is when mikes tell Brendan to just make little swings to make impact. He keeps saying “perfect”, “perfect”, then he’s like ok, take it back a little further and then SHANK! Not so perfect huh? The other part is when Brendan hits one solid and he’s like “awe…felt like Dustin Johnson”!! I do that now ALL the time now! When I hit it good and solid, I’ll say “oh, that felt like Bobby Jones”, or Ben hogan. Or Moe Norman, or whoever. I change out the names. Reminds me of this video and puts a smile on my face every time.

One of the best videos , Mike brings most invaluable knowledge, insight and understanding of golf. He should be the Professor and head of research and all the techies and engineers should work with his guidance for golf research to be more meaningful and relevant.

Pure Gold...Thank you gentlemen!

Mike is the best communicator of the golf swing that I am lucky to be able to watch.

If there's one tip I'd suggest you apply Brendan, it's working on not rolling the forearm on the takeaway, causes you to take it inside too much on the backswing.

definitely will be working on this. thank you

8:43 lmfao the hybris kicking in and Mike taking you back to Earth :D

Wow ! Wow ! That was an epiphany for me ! Where my hands go , inside and not outside wow !

I hope people will simply listen and work with these two - instructor to pupil - and save an AWFUL lot of time, frustration, and bad habits, because these sessions honestly cannot really get any better. Mike is the swing teacher, and Brandon is the swing student. Everything Mike is saying is going in the right direction, and Brandon is the willing instructee who is obviously deeply into his swing and swing thoughts. Mike is helping him clarify IN SUCH A REAL WAY that it's making tremendous sense, (and relieving the frustration we all go through.) Bravo, both of you. (And turn your people onto this channel.)

Thank you! I too misunderstood the impact position. That little shift to the left was a revelation.

Mike Malaysia is perhaps the most underrated teaching professional out there! Thanks Brendan!

Just listen to Malaska. I finally understood golf watching Malaska videos 👉Hands down and club head out. At transition, after weight on left side, the arms and upper body will move down a bit naturally as a single unit. That first movement will let your chest to be pointing more parallel to the ground. Then, you can bring the hands down and club head out. And do extend your right arm ( just enough for impact position) and that will be responsible for that solid contact effortlessly. As you are extending the right arm, you will take your left hip out of the way. That's it.

Terrific lesson from Mike - because it's simple and makes sense - much appreciated

Congrats on those pureed shots you could actually hear the ball hiss as it came off the club!! I'm looking forward to the day that I can do that.

Awesome Lesson! Thank you for the great content!

Great video Brendon! Very helpful! Gonna work on this same thing at the range tonight

Great lesson thank you !

This is a great video. I get bouts of the shanks and I think the reason is here in this video. I will take it to the range and work on getting a better impact position. Thank you.

This has to be one of the best instructional pieces on golf in YT.

What a fantastic explanation of impact , this has really helped me , what a great teacher
