Beginner Series Episode 6: HALF SWING

Continuing on from the last episode, I will go over the basic fundamentals of a HALF SWING. We are starting to make your golf swing bigger!

Key points that I will be going over in this video:
-proper hinge of the wrist
-how to extend/bend the arms
-how to keep the club face square
-hand depth in the backswing

This is the second part to the FULL golf swing and learning this step will get you one step closer to having a general idea of how to swing the golf club.

I’ve been golfing for 20 years religiously. I’m completely self taught and got my handicap down to an 8. However this past season has been a disaster and my swing has completely fallen apart. I realized I developed hundreds of horrible habits during my golfing life and my swing is unsustainable (swing out of my shoes, back pain, coming over the top, overswinging, no compression, flipping the club, etc.) I’ve been able to make it work per the above but I need to rebuild from scratch. These lessons are a great reset for me.

You are an amazing instructor and I hope your channel gets more love and subs. Please please make some videos on coming over the top. I’ve watched every single one on YouTube and nothing has helped me. I’ve tried all the drills. Doesn’t matter. I come over the top no matter what I do and it’s driving me nuts.

Keep up the great work!!!

Jonathan, your instructions for the wrist position have been a game changer for me, no one has ever explained the wrist position as well as you. I was amazed how this simple thing transformed my game, thank you

[ianrigby]

I have been playing golf for 11 years and watching golf vids for all that time and your the best out there thank you ⛳

Thanks Jonathan, as a “beginner” for the past 20 years, your explanations are starting to sink in, much appreciated for the clear instruction.

I've made it to the half swing. Dude, I wish I knew this 20 years ago. I am still working on keeping my weight on the LEFT side!!! Also, insuring the right hand takes over the left in step 2 follow through. Super instructor.

[tigre]

Congratulations! with your advice I have improved a lot.

[briancochran]

As always, focused subject, detailed and easy to understand explanation of moves and why they need to be made.

[maricelyamat]

You are the best instructor I’ve watched on youtube. Your teaching style fits mine. Thank you for your free videos. I’m learning a lot.

[setharj]

I have been trying to learn the swing for over 30 years. Your tip on setting the club on the backswing was gold to me tks you are wonderful

Just started golfing two months ago and you have helped me. Thank you so much man.

[huangp]

Best golf instructions ever. Amazing teacher that gets it. Thank you Jonathan, I’m finally starting to understand the golf swing more.

[jimmyd]

Just like the other comments below you are very good at explaining the golf swing.Thank you.

[douglashuff]

Your instruction is nicely compartmentalized and very clearly explained and demonstrated. You are an EXCELLENT communicator and instructor!

Jonathan...love this Beginners Series! I would like to ask if you could do a full video on the continuation of the back swing, as when I break my wrist and my right arm begins to bend, everything seems to shift for me. This is where I think 90% of beginning golfers loose their form.

[JoeTravers]

Hello Jonathan, what a fantastic teaching video the very best I've ever come across & I'm playing golf a long time. Thank you.

[alpac]

Thank you Mr. Kim-Moss. Practiced your teaching today. My game has already improved. Keep up the good work!

[jamesle-surf]

Have been struggling with my swing for a while. Decided to try this. Although swing is still a bit longer than half. Played my best round ever!! Ball hitting more consistently straight and still travels the same distance as before.

[kenhicks]

Definitely broke things done for me, know I have a better understanding of the takeaway. Will be watch your site for more videos. Thank you keep up the great work much appreciated

[lukegrossnickle]

Cannot thank you enough - you are a brilliant instructor.

Would you be 100% against critiquing my half swing if I send you a video?

I’ve gone to the range 6 times after watching your small swing video and seen unbelievable progress.…im transitioning to the half swing and it all falls apart. Each shot is a shank.

Deeply appreciate all of your hard work !
