Well done. Good ideas.
I’ve been struggling with this exact issue for the full 3 years I’ve been playing. Everything is great until just before impact position and then everything breaks down. I lose height on my backswing through my left knee buckling too muchwhich doesn’t help but I will take this video onto the range and hope it can help me even just a little bit
This video is awesome because it is easy to understand, right to the point, well explained, and provides precise visual images to back it all up. If you search KZread for materials you want to keep and are often disappointed, this is one to trust, this is one to keep.
Thank you!
👍🫡
Great explanation of this. I've always struggled with keeping the left arm straight. The focus on pushing with the right arm is a great reminder of how to keep a solid impact position.
Very nice series... Danke dir
These are some amazing tips! Cant wait to try it out!
El mejor video que he visto sobre este tema hasta ahora
Great video, but you didn’t show releasing the hands. Right hand going over top of the left right
Thank you! This is not really essential for keeping the arms straight.
I find in order to achieve good impact and extension of the arms, the takeaway and in particular the wrist-cock in the take-away needs to happen correctly. My issue with the takeaway is, my hands go away from me and club head goes behind me, meaning I can’t get in the correct position at the top of the swing to initiate the correct position into impact. It’s a hard cycle to break.
Sounds like you are rotating the forearms too much. Try to rotate them the other way.
verstehen nicht Werner...............................
All the explanation in the world of having straight arms after impact will do nothing if the golfer doesn't have the correct tempo. Chicken-wing is a SYMPTOM of casting the club or throwing it from the top of the backswing; the club is coming through too fast after impact and must be slowed with a chicken wing move. But the imagery in the video can help, the last minute or 2.
Very true, as I said in the video casting leads to a lengthening of the swing arc. So bending the arms in necessary
👍
Thanks, I think my swing may benefit from this.
Well explained, great drilla. Many thanks
Excellent clear and concise instruction. Thank you
You have managed to explain Arm Structure and Swing Technique very simply. I’m got try it. Thanks 🙏👍
Great Advice video tips 😊
Keeping body straight after follow through looks a very good tip. Will try on ground tommorow 😊
During back swing, Forcing right arm( trailing arm) not to bend too much keeps left arm ( leading) straight. Great tip.
Great explanation about body rotation + straight arms in the follow through. Many thanks!
Way too much not to do…
Knowing what not to do helps to know what to do
Hi, thank you for this great video. Is the right arm (and right elbow and right wrist) leading in the follow through in order to extend ?
You could say so. Extending the left side also helps to straighten the arms
Great way to stop the chicken wing!
Great lesson! Thank you
Thank you! I've been trying to force the straight ams lately, and this helps.
Best video I’ve seen yet on KZread regarding this issue. Thank you.
Hi Lukas, this is a superb video. I have been getting tips from KZread for many years but still suffer from bent arms on the follow through. Your explanation here will go a long way to improving my golf swing, thanks again.
I´m glad to hear that! Thanks for the feedback
Thanks for posting this. This video helped me more than any other "how to draw" videos. I was able to draw after only a few attempts. The check point details are key to a successful draw. Right now, I am overloaded with swing thoughts but with additional practice, I am certain my set-up and execution will feel more natural. Two observations I had while practicing. (1) My out-to-in swing path became an in-to-out swing. (2) Even if I didn't draw the ball, my usual slice flight pattern was somewhere between ever so slight to non-existent.
That is great to hear!
thank so much!
Thanks for a wonderful, detailed video to help my issue with arm structure! Can you offer any tips on checking the grip or arm position in the setup that would promote good arm structure .
It is the other way round. You need to know how the arm structure should be in the backswing. Go to this position in the backswing and feel how the hands should grip the club to make this correct position rather easy to achieve. From there go back to the setup.
Feel that the arms are dead and heavy at the start of the swing and that the right arm stays bent into impact. At transition the traps are fully relaxed and the arms deadfalling, with the same heavy feeling you had at address. Impact, should feel like your hitting the ball, with your chest. Ie with the mass of your body mechanically coupled, to the " very dead arms," falling with gravity.
@@davidmcnamara3243 You appear to have an excellent understanding of the golf swing and your explanation of the arm feels is quite remarkable.
Glad this came on my feed and that I clicked it. Great lesson, very thorough. Personally this mac ogrady style drill you demonstrate is something I have/had been trying. Felt great hitting the ball, low flighted shot that travels about 10y less but its much more consistent to execute vs a full swing. Though when i video myself, arms are still abit bent just past impact and I proceed to cheat and straighten the arms to the finish. Diagnosed the reason myself as my right elbow at p6 is too far from my right hip, perhaps due to bad backswing. Still searching for answers to solve this. 😅 subbed! Keep up the good work 👍
Glad to hear that!
Superb detailed explanation of the functionality of the right knee in the backswing! Thank you for the information, and an element I definitely struggle with keeping consistent. I will perfect this now thanks to your insight and remove yet another variable in my swing good sir!
Love your explanation… a little louder will be perfect
Nice job explaining a somewhat overlooked aspect of the swing. I've viewed two Birdietrain videos today and both were very well done.
Excellent explanation. Clear and systematically structured - in perfect English too. Thank you.
Interesting. Ernie Els, in his book, how to build a classic swing, instructed to not straighten the right knee in the slightest. His explanation was to keep him from over swinging. I guess he could get away with this right knee flexed because he was so flexible? Thoughts?
Often players describe their feels which work for them but it is not what they are actually doing. You could make the point straightening the trail foot a bit will help fight over swinging because if your body works correctly you don't have to overuse the arms. Keeping the knee completely flexed will lead to lifting of the arms and over swinging is thus more likely.
Is the "over-extension" of the trail leg a strength issue (stability at the top of the backswing)? any other tips for players that lockout the trail leg at the top of the backswing? thanks!
Good point. Basically if you can regain flexion in the downswing it is not a huge problem. So you might focus on regaining flexion again in the downswing and so your body will understand to not extend it too much in order to be able to regain flexion. If that doesn't help feel like your trail foot really "screws" itself into the ground clockwise and also your kneecap rotates a bit.
@@birdietraingolf2511 I’ll try the clockwise trail foot out. Thanks!
This is amazing! I wasn’t a reverse pivot guy, but struggled to get to into the right body shape/feel at the top in order to trigger the down swing. The feeling your described about the left shoulder going to the right toe while the lower body feels like it goes to target also helps clean up the little bit of early extension I tend to have! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Wonderful! Very clear and understandable instruction, step by step. Thanx 🙂
Good to see you on Instagram and here 🙂
Great to have another ST coaching professional on board. An excellent and important video too - cheers Lukas.
Thank you Alan
Very informative, as already known from your IG. Little feedback, if wanted: I‘d turn down the music more or even turn completely off while talking. 2nd: That’s extremely complex info in a short period of time while talking pretty fast. I, personally, would try to talk slower. Keep going, look forward to new stuff!
Hey Luca Thanks a lot fot your feedback. We will keep an Eye on it.
Well done coach 👍 a little bit feedback that sound volume a bit low for me. Turned to max but still a bit hard to catch the words. Keep it coming 👍
noted and thanks! :)
Great video! So it would seem you could control the shape of the ball flight based on the flex (or lack of flex) of the trail leg?
Hello David. Yes definitely. Of course there are other factors involved as well, but as we explained in the video, extending it during the backsiwing promotes elements and other motions that potentially could lead to a draw bias. On the other hand flexed trail knees potentially facilitate fading and slicing balls.
Happy to see that you have a youtube channel now! Looking forward to dope content!
Great information! Subscribed. Keep em coming
Now we have the "actually better than all english stuff" in english....yeah 🤩
Great content and very informative…..cant wait for driver, chipping, putter and all other stuffs….keep it coming…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
