Bradley Hughes Golf- Hand Path..Out Is Down 

I'm glad it had such a positive effect on your swing! I hope it does for me as well. I was taught something much different, and unfortunately I never questioned what was taught to me in lessons.

You on tour now?

I think an overhead view of this lesson would really help many viewers

That’s spot on. This has been my main swing thought for a couple years now. Hands arms move first which induces lower body to then rotate

This should be the secret move explained!😂

remember what Hogan said...."reverse every natural instinct................"

Onj

Absolutely

its the formula

malaska's method doesn work... tried it... was confused why my ball flights suck.. now i know

Bradley keeps me on track! @@shrimboy7492

Swing Searcher yeah good example

we think its great too!!!

You are missing the point if you need to ask 'what moves first'. The correct arm and hand action will automatically trigger the body, you just need to trust it. It's the conscious movement that gets in the way and ruins it. If you trip on a step, you don't need to think about what part of the body moves first, as you try to regain your balance, do you? Do kids think about body positions etc., when they expertly skip a stone across a pond? This is the 'secret' of the golf swing, if there is such a thing.

Scott Johnson the more the hands feel out- the more the forearms can turn & the more the wrists can stay cocked-that is what lays the shaft back

GolfAus thanks Brad as always, so generous!

Charles Doral maybe have a flatter club to practice with to initially help see this happen but generally the full set wouldnt need to be too flat- standard lie is fine

@@GolfAusBradleyHughesGolf I'll try that. Thanks!

Did you continue using this method. Is it still working? Yes, I know this counter intuitive to everything else you hear from instructors.

I have my wrists a little cupped at the top but moving hands in transition flattens the left wrist

That`s golf instruction for you, more contradictions than a politicians speech. Having said that Bradley is one of the best instructors out there.

In that video I believe Bradley explains to keep the upper arms closer to the body (mass) but the hands don't get close to the body until the motion toward follow through as you rotate.

chrislynch52 if you can get to Milton Keynes look up Sam Jarman. samjarmangolf.com Sam is a big fan of Brad and has worked with him last year.

Matthew Stensrud prob about 6 inches- a water bottle works too, just put a bit of water in it to make it stand up

Swing Searcher they wont go out as far as shown- but the more they feel out the more arm turn and wristcock you will have which is what keeps the shaft behind and uo for inside path to ball

Thanks for taking the time to answer!

GolfAu

Ed Bleackley packed in into and through impact is the key... all my videos I talk about having room on the backswing which means not connected

Brad, thank you for your response, appreciate your insights and I will take that information and review the videos that I was looking at that caused me to make the inquiry.

Doug Kercher cos he rotated his arms a lot- he also said he wished he had three right hands- both play a role

illusion....more hands and arms (especially the right arm) can be out the more rotation you will have in the arms (to lay the shaft back) and also in the wrists (to keep the clubhead up)...both lead to an inside entry of the clubhead.. opposite forces of hands working left from what feels outside and the club working from the inside... no straight lines in a swing...opposite pressures are what create the better functional swings

Thanks for taking the time to answer that.

Jake West was just there - wont be back for a while now

Point the hands out don’t overdo it

Jake West says it in the video- between my feet and the ball and just beyond the right foot.. can put a ball up on a tee or use a water bottle if you dont have cones

If I may offer my experience....I too have struggled with this since I first saw it when it was uploaded. I think I found something this week though. So I was trying to put my arms in this position during the swing but without success. No problem in slo mo but once you go to full swing speed, the pressures and forces are completely different. What seemed to click for me this week was grip pressure. In transition I feel a lot of grip pressure in the last 3 fingers of my left hand (right handed golfer here). It’s a feel like I’m trying to open a really super tight jar lid with my left hand and turning the back of the wrist away from me at the same time (I think I saw a Brad video talking about this but can’t find it). I had a mirror behind me at the range when trying this. It looked like it help shallow the club a lot. Brad’s teaching about forces and pressures is spot on. This opening jar grip pressure feeling helped me understand what Joseph Mayo talked about in his wrist angles video on Vimeo vimeo.com/252977915 Joe is one of the very few instructors worth a follow along with Brad. Good luck and remember, forget positions, think what pressures and forces are needed to execute the movement you want. ATB Paul R.

@@DriveFarGolf Thanks Paul. Ironically I have been working on flattening my wrist on the backswing as it's too cupped. So your advice is probably spot on and part of my problem. I think I also get too much weight on the balls of my feet on the downswing which I need to work on too.

Darren P sounds like we do the similar things, I take the club back a bit too much on the inside and get cupped at the top, but it took me a long time to realise I don’t need to worry about it, as I don’t hit the ball on the backswing 🙂 sure it might help get to the correct place in the transition a bit quicker but I don’t have time to spend hours sorting it. Plus so many f the greats cupped a little at the top, Sam Snead was one. For me the weight too far forward, I try and get armpits lined up over the toes so I know I’m balanced well. 👍🏻🏌🏻‍♂️

Darren P lack of hand speed- you would push the hands forward or use too much body- thats why I use a drill that trains the release first before I have people try do this (drill 1)

@@GolfAusBradleyHughesGolf thanks Bradley. I need to learn to walk before I can run.

As the arms rotate back towards the body the hands go lower and return shaft to very much where it was at address.. no need to try hit- it does it all for you

thanks so much Brad! I have been a disciple of your videos and online lessons and anyone who does not watch your content is doing themselves a huge disservice. Hope to see you compete on the Champions Tour one day soon!

Brad, is this a decent position in my video link? you can really see it if you put the speed on .25 it slows it down substantially... I have been really feeling like my hands are way out in front on down swing just like in this cone drill, but it still seems as if the arms aren't packing back in tight enough through the strike and the right arm is not staying bent and lifting up slightly at impact.. what is the move from this position that i should be feeling? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2HUmfrEyLII.html

Try that feel and let us know how it goes. I’m actually curious. When I do the “hands out feel” like Bradley demonstrates here, my hands do still pretty much work down (and out). It’ll never just work out.

correct...see the name of the video

Ok Bradley, so if hands out is actually down, how would one hypothetically actually move the hands out? By feeling them go up?! It’s illogical. If I try hands out they actually go out and make it like a trick shot to even hit the ball.

@@johnnybravo9087 you wouldnt have them go out unless the ball was up in the air like a tee ball or like a baseball hit... remember this is the 4th or 5th thing I teach players....430 path first- footwork- post impact- then start to deal with this stuff

Seilogo Lauago do you want your hands in front of the body or behind your body?
