Malaska Golf // L to L with the Driver - How the Pivot Works

Показать описание

I get this question or comment a lot. Players say they get the L to L working well with their irons but tend to lose it when working on it with their longer clubs like the driver.

So, why is the L to L more difficult with your driver? If you know why your pivots are breaking down in the full swing, you can get down to the basics and work on the correct movement.

Don't just play golf. Understand it.

Mike is the first youtube golf instructor that has made sense to me. I’ve been pulling with my shoulders since I started playing 3 years ago (baseball background). I used this drill and immediately started hitting pure shots. Thank you!

Mike, thanks for sharing this information. I have played golf for nearly forty years and was’t until I started following your instruction that I got the freedom, speed and accuracy I needed in my golf swing. I fell into the the camp that most players fall into which is to move your shoulders and not your hands and arms. Total poppycock, so now I am hitting the ball further, straighter and with move spin on my short irons. And your short game video was spot on with Jack junior about leveling out your shoulders. You stated to shallow out your approach to make chip shots easy. I hit so many good chip shots now its crazy the improvement. You are so right on all aspects of the game. You are truly a Master of the game!

Most speed comes from the hands. Swinging like this is very powerful and body friendly. This is the way most pros hit the ball before the PGA starting teaching a more hit the ball with body rotation type of swing in, I believe, the 1970s? For the average golfer, this is absolutely the best way to strike the golf ball. You go Mike. You sure have helped a lot of golfers.

Of all the golf coaches on YouTube Mike has helped me with his explanation of the golf swing.

What a great lesson. I have tried the L to L without much luck but now I see I was pulling with my shoulders. Now that you pointed this out, I am hitting it so much crisper and cleaner and with ease. Almost feels like my body is stationary. Three cheers for MM.

This is gold. And also why my fairway woods lack distance. Have just been on the range and my longer clubs are smoking. The way I’ve found to remember this is to swing feet touching, knees touching and note the shoulder movement. The second ‘L’ falls naturally into place. Thanks Mike.

Excellent. Wish I had seen this video before my 3 shoulder surgeries; am recovering from 3rd right now and hope to play in 2 months. Maybe a problem for others too is being able to trust the concept of achieving the L to L without leading with the shoulders. Shoulders make good followers and terrible leaders (Toski).

I’m a member of your site and have watched almost all of your videos. For some reason this one really clicked with me. I’ve really been struggling with hitting a draw with the driver and today at the range it started to make sense. I wasn’t pivoting soon enough. Thanks for the great videos.

Thank you Mike for clearing this up. For years and years I've been told I have to get to my left side before the finish of the downswing.

Mike, great stuff. I got alot from seeing how you don't sway forward in the downswing. It cancels out all the good you can accomplish by the pivot, the hinging and the momentum. Excellent.

This is gold, believe me, no further lessons needed 😃

Terrific Video! Also I greatly appreciate getting the summary notes at the end-which I can screen shot and save!

Thanks Mike makes so much sense and why I was struggling

This video gave me a great way to feel the swing. I went out to the range and struck the ball well. I hit my driver well and was able to hit my 3 wood off the turf which will be a game changer for me !
