Mike is an excellent communicator. No fancy words, just straight forward talk. And he really wants you to improve. If you an opportunity to get out there for a lesson it’s worth every penny. The most important thing I learned from Mike is that it’s the instructors job to teach you the concepts, as he’s done here, and it’s the students job to go home and make it your own. Practice it, practice, and keep practicing it.

Mike, I’ve been following you for years. Everything that you say just makes so much sense. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. The fact that you figured out how to do it naturally from baseball, then went down the rabbit hole with the soup de jour coaching at the time and came back to how the body works in motion is amazing. My hat is off to you and I am grateful. As a veteran and as this 4th of July approaches, keep our brothers and sisters in your mind as we celebrate our freedom. FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!

Gold, I’m always tight throughout my swing. I’ll be watching this on repeat for the next month or so 👍

This should be the first golf lesson for EVERYONE!!!🙀

I remember many, many years ago reading a article about Iron Byron. The author said IB wasn't in use but there was a iron attached. He accidentally bumped the iron and could not believe how much it moved. He would hardly touch it and the club would move a lot. That's how loose the wrist should be.

That pic of Mike made me think he was about to defeat Johnny at the All Valley Karate tournament.

Great video Mike. My old friend and golf coach ex Ryder Cup player Jimmy Adams ( played against Hogan ) would approve of this instruction. I became a much better golf instructor once I understood what Jimmy was trying to teach to me about the skill/feel of ' Swinging the Clubhead ' and the body responding and harmonising to the swinging / hinging feel through the wrists and clubhead. This is all most golfers need to do to get better !

[markcollins]

Brilliant golf instruction. The concept shown complete with concise explanation is to be congratulated. Thank you and now it is up to us to try and replicate.

[kevinintheusa]

This is awesome stuff. I love Mike Malaska.

[marklynd]

Very enjoyable video Mike it's cleared a few things up for me I'm 7 handicapper trying to get to scratch my level of strike isn't quite elite enough yet for such a level but all round game is solid regularly shooting between 75 to 80 but its driving and quality of strike that's stopping progressing I will use this video to help

[charliefrago]

Contrast this method with Tom Saguto golf. Straight stiff left arm and firm grip. Thx.

[Soul_Freezer]

Mike really is a master teacher. It takes more skill for someone to explain something in a simple and easy to understand way. In several of my upper level math courses, it was always the professors that could explain complex equations in a way that just made sense. This requires complete mastery of the subject at hand.

I learned about Mike from Be Better Golf Channel and I’m glad that I did.

Contrast Mike’s style to the most recent guest on BBG, and it’s quite the difference. Martin Ayers…..ugh 🙄

[travisjaggers]

Good video. I think what’s so hard to understand (for me) with this and what you teach is if using the hands/arms, how do you prevent the right hand from rolling over in the downswing if you’re not rotating your upper body through?

[pierce]

Here's where I think Mike doesn't quite get it right. There is a twist ... after impact. It's not really a mirror image from the right side to the left side. Around the 5:30 mark watch his left hand or his watch. After impact his left hand rotates to face the ground, which is not what's happening on the backswing. His right hand has rotated, but it's not facing the ground as much as the left hand will after impact. Might sound like minutiae, but I think it's an important point. I hope Mike can address my observation, there's no doubt he's one of the best pro instructors in the game. He really makes an effort to simplify the swing in a way we can all understand. Far more experience teaching than the average YouTube instructor.

Mike that’s great but how do we get the ball to go straight (ish) with arms and hands waving about ???

[thomasmazanec]

Terrific. I have been mister body swing - tight everywhere. Will try this method. Makes sense.

[abs]

TODD, MIKE TALKS ABOUT PUSHING BACK ON THE WAY DOWN. I EITHER AM DOING IT WRONG OR CANT DO IT AT ALL. I DO PUSH BACK ON THE TAKE AWAY. DOES THAT MATTER OR SHOULD I TRY TO DO BOTH?

[steveperry]

i can swing like this and it works really well for a while like a week or maybe a month and then it stops working and i'm off to something else. it really works well with a driver off a tee or a fairway wood or hybrid but i have trouble with an iron off the turf like i start chopping at it.

[AndrewDCDrummond]

It’s a shame that slow motion video of the pros he mentions, like Rory, shows that they lead their downswing with a fairly aggressive body motion, not a passive turning with lots of arms action.

like the pants looks like mud hut condos in background
