Worlds #1 Golf Coach Gave Me This Lightbulb Moment [Video]

0:00 | so just like you I need to improve the quality
of my contact with both my irons and my driver

0:04 | I also naturally need to become more accurate
now a few months ago I sought out the world’s

0:09 | number one golf coach my mentor Pete Cowen now in
that lesson which I actually shared on YouTube he

0:15 | basically focused on my trail side how my right
side of my body needs to work effectively to

0:20 | really simplify the golf swing and over the last
few months I’ve been working very very hard and

0:24 | it has really improved the consistency my contact
and my Direction with every golf Club in the back

0:30 | now in this golf lesson what I want to do is I
want to share with you this Genius move that’s

0:34 | going to help you to improve your accuracy and
your contact now in the lesson that we did on

0:39 | YouTube Some people didn’t quite understand it so
I’ve really simplified it for you in this lesson

0:44 | now before I get into it though if you’re new to
the channel it’s your first golf videos of mine

0:47 | please consider subscribing I release videos just
like this every single week to try and help you

0:53 | improve your game plus you never have to remember
a thing I’ll always put a free practice guide in

0:56 | the description box below so by the end of this
lesson what I want you to be able to do is whether

1:01 | it’s your driver Fairway wood or irons I want you
to be able to deliver this club consistently the

1:07 | same every single time great golfers are able to
do this they deliver the golf club not like this

1:12 | one minute and then this from the next minute they
deliver it consistently every time this gives them

1:17 | great ball striking it gives them the distance
and it obviously gives them the accuracy that’s

1:20 | my hope for you in this lesson now the first
thing to recognise this the golf swing is just

1:25 | a second and a half absolute maximum 1 second of
that basically takes place in the back swing you

1:31 | only have half a second in the downswing so if you
think about it getting that back swing correct is

1:38 | absolutely imperative we can in a sense get you
in a great position at the top it kind of sets

1:42 | up the down swing if you get out of position
at the top and you’ve only got half a second

1:46 | to kind of like compensate this is what leads
to inconsistencies Pete knows this so the very

1:52 | first thing we’re going to work on is getting
you into a great place right now he would call

1:58 | this I want you to load your back swing up now
take your setup position now I’m going to give

2:03 | you the drill he gave me and I’m going to give you
something unbelievably simple so this is the Golf

2:07 | drill he gave me the cack handed exercise put
your Trail hand on top bottom hand underneath

2:11 | don’t join them and ultimately what I’m doing
here is this I’m making a swing where my hands

2:17 | don’t really go too much past my ribcage here and
just making a swing here and when I do this this

2:24 | feels what he would describe as tight it really
does why is tight a good thing so here I’ve loaded

2:31 | my legs I’ve loaded my torso and I’ve loaded my
arms Everything feels Compact and tight tight is a

2:38 | good thing tight because just like a spring if we
are turning the top part of that spring here okay

2:46 | bottom Parts fairly stable but still move but top
part’s a bit tight when you then let go you get

2:53 | the down swing for free so we need to get into
a slightly more compact tighter position at the

2:58 | top so you get your back swing for free what I’m
seeing with too many golfers is is they’re wristy

3:04 | here the arms are going here nothing everything’s
just a bit loose so the two golf drills you can

3:09 | play around with there’s the one that I worked
on which is a simple cack handed exercise here

3:14 | simple as that look how my trail elbow sits down
here absolutely perfect and potentially an even

3:20 | simpler one that which have developed here is just
take your Trail hand put it forward it’s Palms

3:25 | facing slightly down towards the golf ball almost
like you’re bouncing a ball and then I want you

3:30 | to imagine this you’re going to turn a look behind
you and you’re going to imagine holding a waiters

3:36 | tray like this notice how my body is winding up
and I’m holding the waiters tray my whole arm

3:44 | look is first of all facing you but then continues
to go and it’s continuing to go this way and it’s

3:50 | holding that waiters Tray now with my students
there’s a variety of flexibilities some people

3:55 | will never get their palm to face the sky they
won’t have the flexibility that’s fine you might

4:00 | have to kind of load your loading of the swing
or the loading of the spring might be just facing

4:05 | away what I don’t want however is this the Palm
facing this way if you’ve done this this way what

4:12 | you’re doing is you’re not loading you’ve lost the
spring now this is winding the spring here loaded

4:18 | now I can work it on an arc for a lot of people
here is not winding it so start with that as goal

4:24 | number one now here’s how I’d work on this for me
if I’m going to use the cack handed exercise what

4:29 | I do is is I do a few little motions here now
sometimes even when people do this they try and

4:34 | do this no it’s what I’m doing my trail arm is
pushing away the left arm is pulling back here

4:40 | this is giving me the loaded kind of sensation now
I made the mistake in the early days of doing this

4:46 | of almost been very static and trying too hard to
do this and it I basically overthought it I don’t

4:54 | want to do the same I want you to keep momentum
with it so now I’ve got the idea of loading this

4:59 | kind of my back swing I want to keep momentum so
I might start here a few times and then flow into

5:05 | this loaded position here you could do this with
your right arm just imagine flowing hold the work

5:11 | tray hold the work tray hold the work tray just
don’t get too static really add momentum to this

5:18 | motion and the idea is just to see if you can load
that load that spring because when it’s loaded

5:23 | you’ve now got a chance then same principle
again don’t overthink it get yourself set

5:30 | work work on some motions now I’m going to
try and repeat that motion here feel it just

5:33 | about here I’m going to do this is the cack handed
exercise feel the momentum load it unload it okay

5:42 | and I start just doing that initially so here
small little swings load it and unload it and

5:50 | I’m basically building up my back swing so what’s
that I’m hitting 7 iron here that’s just 157 yard

5:56 | that’s about 25 yard shorter than I normally
would hit because I’m starting small I want

6:01 | you to do the same so get that sensation do that
spend time that might be a practice in itself get

6:07 | the sense of that loaded position then move on to
stage number two which is the downswing so you’ve

6:13 | loaded your spring you’ve loaded that back swing
now what happens well you’ve done a big part of it

6:19 | it’ll want to come down naturally but here’s what
I see with a lot of amors I want you to avoid this

6:24 | okay a lot of amateur golfers when they’re coming
down they don’t realize I feel the same but impact

6:30 | on the way down needs to happen on your Trail side
of your body the right side for me okay it happens

6:37 | here without realizing that this is what’s tending
to happen with golfers they get here they’ve

6:42 | loaded and then what they do is they just sling
their arms at it and impact then happens look in

6:49 | front of our bodies too much this is when you get
those flicky horrible strikes now for me as even

6:55 | as a professional golfer I got a little bit too
much in front as well but I draw my handle so I

7:00 | managed to get strike but I’m still look too much
in front but I’d then flick it and I sometimes

7:05 | would get some hooks impact happens look on the
trail side of the body here this is absolutely

7:16 | crucial so if you want your body to naturally move
efficiently through impact and just understanding

7:21 | that impact happens a bit exaggerated but here
is a great place to kind of visualize all right

7:29 | so when you getting yourself set up in your golf
swing whether it’s cack-handed or this Trail hand

7:33 | look at this I’m loading holding the weight tray
and then all I’m going to do is I’m going to move

7:38 | that hand back towards the golf ball here but as
I’m doing that I’m going to imagine that hand look

7:43 | staying on the trail side of my body and as a
by product my trail side turns through and here

7:49 | I am what I’m not doing is doing this makes sense
yeah so swing it back move it onto the trail side

7:58 | hey presto this is a really really simple way
for you to work on now when’re I doing the cack

8:03 | handed exercise this is something I personally
did so what I did when I swung back here I was

8:08 | very used to driving here and then flicking so
for me it was like how do I get that golf club

8:14 | naturally back to the golf ball what I do is I
turn my trail side look into the golf ball here

8:20 | now I’ve got a brilliant impact position where’s
impact on the trail side of my body here and I’ve

8:25 | got complete control over this club so really
simple visual but a great way to then take what

8:33 | we’ve just been doing which is loading that back
swing up and then thinking right and now to my

8:38 | trail side I’m going to hit the ball with my trail
side to the side of me not out here or in here but

8:48 | there nice and simple so as you’re doing this you
know one thing that’s really important I I love my

9:03 | students love this visual of just hitting on the
trail on the trail side of the body the side of

9:07 | the body as opposed to just hitting in front of it
really helps with the ball striking but remember

9:12 | you must get loaded to do this if you haven’t
got loaded in the backswing if you’re up here

9:17 | and then you try to hit on the you haven’t loaded
the back swing and you try to hit on the trail

9:21 | side you’ll come straight over the top that’s not
what we want remember what gives you permission to

9:26 | turn this Trail side back into the golf ball
is the fact that you’ve turned it and you’ve

9:31 | loaded it on the way back so if you’ve loaded it
on the way back all you’re doing with this whole

9:35 | Trail side of the body is simply just delivering
it look back into the golf ball here and that’s

9:41 | going to give you that beautiful strike so load
it correctly another great visual is to see this

9:48 | is what this is here for see the swing as if it’s
got Corners so you look at what we’ve just done

9:54 | you’ve loaded the swing we’ve gone around here
almost on a bend on an ark okay now from here

10:00 | most amateur golfers turn the corner too quick in
this swing here look I’m going back down where we

10:06 | came from with my hands here’s the corner I’m
turning the corner now to go back to the golf

10:12 | ball I’m now continuing to turn the corner with
my hands look releasing the club here someone

10:18 | like myself I would be good at this bit but I
would dry I won’t turn any corner I drive this

10:23 | way that would get me coming here I’d have to flip
with my hands most am to Golfers do the opposite

10:29 | they don’t get very loaded here they go here and
then from here they turn the corner to come out

10:34 | over the top get loaded in the back swing it make
it so much easier for you to turn that corner back

10:39 | into the golf ball and return that club at the
same place time and time again so do me a favour

10:47 | put the work in get loaded in the back swing
and start to work on turning that trail side

10:51 | back into the golf ball so you hit it on this
this side of body not in front and you’re going

10:56 | to start to improve the quality of strike with
every golf club in your bag if you happen not to

11:01 | see that my lesson with Pete Cowen you can check
that out right here but if you enjoy the video

11:06 | give it a thumbs up maybe share with one of your
friends and of course look if you’re new to the
