Love the video, can't listen to it with the background music. Please, please, please... asking nicely, lose the music when you are talking.

Sometimes coaches are the ones screwing players. Instead of being asked to throw, had this player been instructed "how to throw" or "skip stones", a lot of complicated information would have been supplied to the brain and then those words computed and a confusion of movements as the player tries to complete the process. Instead, tell a person to simply throw an object--without any further instructions and just about everyone (especially males) can do it.
Throwing is a part of human DNA. From the days going back thousands of years as hunter/gatherer humans have been able to throw. It's in all of us.
Even though throwing is very complicated all a child needs is to see the image of how throwing looks and within a few minutes that child can throw. Try explaining how to throw to a child and you never get there.
So many "hitting" sports come down to throwing and catching.
Good video.

Will try! I make good contact but distance is terrible :(

A close examination of his takeaway shows the problem in that his hands were coming inside too quickly throwing the club onto too flat of a plane and limiting his true arc width which means that his connection was lacking in the early backswing leading to a downswing stall of the lower body, swing out to right field, and lack of compression. The "stone skipping" drill restored some actual true width to his backswing and allowed him to release through the ball.

The right arm drill has done wonders for me over the past couple of years Steve.. great input .. thank you.

[jleber]

Great drill! I did it before every swing and it helped me to lead the downswing with my hips and hit straight compressed shots! Thanks!

[raosos]

Another great lesson, and I really mean it.

In my case, this drill will not fix everything wrong with my swing, only a part of it, , , still have to work on Grip, Alignment, Balance, weight shift, due in part to my Age, body type and flexibility, but the concept is good

The guys on TV swing don’t apply to a 70 year old senior. This is what’s wrong with teaching, everyone want to cater to the “TOUR” style swing, when actually most majority of golfers are mid aged or above.

Jim Powell here.
As he is nearing the top of his backswing is when he should start his left side moving. Transitioning to the downswing he should throw the club down to the ball. The face will square up after the left side has moved toward the target. Using the feel of skipping a rock is fine. That does help in the downswing. The key in my opinion is to start the left side just before the downswing starts. Just let it happen. One other thing feel your right shoulder being back. Probably to much info here.

Been using this for years it works, the other best is a swing fan.

I'm a natural lefty who golf's right. Any drills in using left arm for a drill. Such as a Frisbee drill on the swing or a backhanded tennis swing? I will try this drill anyway.

[edwardhelmer]

Stack and tilt? Looks that way....good swing however!

[wasatchgolfacademy]

My entire coaching approach is based on the trail arm and the throw motion. I call it the swinging gate but it works wonders for every golfer.

Hi Steve
Great video ....love the drill
If you can add in lines to show the difference between the two swings ...a little difficult to follow....ill def subscribe

[javierr]

Another drill is to do the same and through the club

[jaydubeck]

He is still pulling with the hands in transition. He doesn't lead with the "step" as Austin and you suggest. You can see this by the big separation in his elbows at lead arm parallel in the D.S. You can play this way but it will be a struggle just a different one then he had before. He needs to transition earlier using the " step" before the attempt at the " throw".

[danavest]

This is my miss push and low pull hooks

[CaribSurfKing]

That bent left knee at impact needs to get fixed

[craigmoeller]

This drill catches my attention because of how he is moving his right knee to start the downswing. Do you advocate initiating the downswing with the right knee? Another stellar video Steve, thank you so much!
