Unlocking the Secret to the 515 Yard Drive, Mike Austin Biographer Phillip Reed

Phillip is also the inventor of the "Pause and Throw" training aid which I think is great. I teaches you to use flexion and extension in the right wrist which can help you hit it longer and straighter.

Thanks for watching!

I didn’t believe Phillip three years ago.

Today after near 5 years of fanatical devotion to the MA method, I hit 280, 295 yard laser confirmed carries on the course.

I’m 68, out of shape since Covid and only 5’8” (damn, used to be 5’10”.) I have never ever hit it so far.

I’m in golf heaven! Thanks Brendon, you got me searching in the right direction.

Good to see the mighty Mike Austin get some cred! He was a brilliant, cantankerous teacher, character, and friend. I'll tell ya, much of what current long driver Kyle Berkshire developed on his own (and is now graciously sharing with Bryson DeChambeau and the rest of us) mirrors what Mike was teaching decades ago. Thanks guys!

This is by far the best video you have ever produced...thanks.

[samking]

Great that you got together with Phillip Reed.

I (and I'm sure a bunch of your other BBG followers) have gone DEEP down the Mike Austin youtube rabbit hole since this video came out. We need more! As others have pointed out, Steve Pratt is one of Mikes original circle, he teaches up in the valley. Please go do a video with him. I would also love to hear Tony Luczak speak about the Mike Austin swing. Thanks for all you do!

[dannyk]

I am glad you finally started touching on Mike Austin. Philip Reed is great I have one of these Pause n Throw, and it has changed my game. BIG BOOM

"You have to pre think, you can't think during the swing"
Couldn't agree more. Being motor control free through the Striking Zone seems to be what's happening during my better shots.

Changed my swing and worked with Mike Malaska and Milo - (thanks BBG) and at the foundation is the Mike Austin mechanics (in my opinion). By following the mechanics of the backswing and downswing - I'm able to hit the ball around 270 (I was around 240-250). I still roll my arms those are my bad swings where I either pull hook OB or block right.

My back thanks Mike and Milo and Mike Austin - Lol - BBG - Thanks for introducing these great professionals to us.

Phil Reed is the Golf Magi! Bring him back again!

Been following Steve Pratt’s YouTube channel and he is a Mike Austin swing proponent. Getting results as swing training is simplified. Also follow Be Better Golf. Keep up what you are doing. Very inciteful.

What a great video and insight into Mike Austin and his philosophy of the golf swing!  Thanks, and keep them coming!

[chrisi]

Big Boom. Great interview. More I see all these golf videos I get the sense there's really no one perfect swing. Too much variation in the human body structure, flexibility and musculature. We can get close to some goals by emulation but have to manage our swing according to our bodies ability, and of course how well our mind can get our bodies to respond consistently. Thanks for the video!

[Charlyky]

Brendon this is why your channel rules. Interesting interviews with very intelligent golf gurus.

I knew Mr. Austin he used to give me tips back in the 70's at Studio City Golf. That is when came out with the Swing flamer. He was way ahead of his time and was one the most honest and straight to the point people I ever knew. One thing I never hear people talk about is MR. AUSTIN'S RIGHT FOOT DRAG and why, and how he did it. DO YOU KNOW

[larsahlstrom]

i get the right feel for this swing when i do leftarmswings, and then apply the body rotation, had a session today and have never had so effortless swing and good ballcontact, i speed up the swing with the left thumb and no draging the club and arms, with much more clubhead speed. it is awesome, thanks Austin and Dunaway.

[steveperry]

brendan, i watched this video and the mike austin skeleton suit video several times and went to the range today to try his ideas and method. i conjured up mike austin and i can't believe how pure i was hitting it. he explains the action quite clearly and uses more feet, leg and body than i'm used to but i'm sticking with this for a while. i can't wait to get on the course to try it but it's still winter here in the N.East. not sure i can hit it 300 yds. but i was popping it pretty darn good, steve

[chestermicek]

Mike Austin had a double post, downward scoop release that wouldn't hurt your back like Tiger's does. You can learn what he did via YouTube. Watch "Mike Austin Teaching the Teachers". Also watch Phillip Reed's right hand in this video. Austin didn't turn the wrist of his right hand over or under. He turned it like he was throwing a softball underhanded, but he was going down on the ball and not up. He was "scooping" - something like a weekend hacker, but down to make a divot, not up to pop up like a 45 handicapper.

Read Phils book recently and loved it. I very much enjoyed  the in depth analysis of the positions in different parts of Mike Austin's swing in this video. Mike, s idea of a coupled body pivot hinging on the left leg and then on the right while the head stays still giving the bell effect in the frontal plane resulting in the momentum of the club being maximised fits well with  Mike Malaska and his observations in the down the line view on the pivoting of the club in the backswing when the hands are at waist level and in the downswing again at waist level after which momentum takes over until it pivots again at waist height. These two pivot points of the club in downswing and follow through is what potentially couples an under hand swing action with the use of the right wrist hinge more horizontally that Mike Austin emphasised laterally giving power and accuracy.

That poor guy next to you. It takes him 2hrs. To watch 60 minutes on t.v.!

Big boom. Love the free throw analogy. I think it applies to the golf swing both putting and striking.
