  1. This would not be what your other video called a passive release? Where the club face is closed at last parallel and squared at impact through rotation.

  2. So acting like your left hand is turning a throttle is not correct now or is this an action as a result of the throttle feeling. From watching you I'm hitting the ball better than ever and very very consistent. But sometimes it gets confusing and not everyone is trying to be a pro. We want to have fun and that's done playing good golf as an amateur. So sometimes I don't get why focus is so much on what the pros do when it would be great as to what we can do better. I've been coaching football a very long time and I never ever say well this is how the pros do it. I coach them up on whatever it is, proper execution and attempt to make them the best they can be. Anyway thank you for another video. Have a great day

  3. Always great videos Eric what has helped me just recently I started turning my left ear down at setup I am blasting the ball and it amazingly helps on putting from tons of swings over the years I have done just the opposite right ear down anyway try it Eric especially on the greens i think it helps from getting to much loft on my putts …

  4. If I watch enough videos I can be bamboozled from one to the next. Not sure if you realize watching the chopstick from overhead it disappears from view so we never see what your preaching. I am not and never will be a pro level golfer is it possible coaches should determine the correct modifications for each golfer?

  5. I played like this yesterday(before even seeing this video), because I’m constantly experimenting with things. I was really closed at the top, because I was afraid to allow the forearms to rotate on my backswing. That method had me feeling sooooo tight, and restrictive. However, yesterday, I decided to just let my arms move naturally throughout my swing, and the results were amazing. Had absolutely one of the best ball striking days that I’ve ever had(shot 3 over, 73). This natural forearm rotation is an AH HA moment in the golf swing. The freedom feels unreal. It allows you to feel the correct “turn”, and “extension”, at the top. It sets the club nicely on plane. It lets you release the club naturally through the ball. And, it allows you to “get through the ball”, and strike it so pure. For me, it resulted in a slight push draw, that felt absolutely effortless(5 yard draw at most). I highly recommend people to try this. Keep left arm straight, left wrist flat, and just allow the forearms to ROTATE naturally. It will truly change your game, and it feels so free, and effortless. Pointing the butt of the club at the ball/target line is a great way to feel this in the backswing.

  6. Wonderful explanation of how the arms work and how most of us are using our wrists to do what our arms should be doing tks so much

  7. Eric great insight. If player needs to work on hips pivot and shoulder tilt would you like to isolate former thing first in a specific drill and then work on shoulder tilt or vice versa or would you like to work both at once in one drill or like most things there is no one way for this? for me, it is difficult to feel if I work on two things at once. What's your thoughts on this?

  8. This is great information Eric. I start my rotation at the beginning of the down swing. If I don’t try to kill the ball I’m usually spot on, however if I need some extra yards I over rotate which closes the face and I end up with a bad hook. Guess I just need to let the club do the work. Thanks Eric!
