You Won't Believe How Easy This Makes The Downswing 

Jesus what a genius coach! So many videos are there with coaches trying to show as much vocabulary they have without being on point. Your videos are all - straight to point and explaining every step. You are genius

Unquestionably the best ball-striking-whilst-instructing teacher on the web.

i've never had a pro show me or explain the importance of arm extension as you did. Great video, clear and helpful.

After watching a million golf videos, tips, secrets and tricks, this is far the best, most logical explanation of what the swing is and how to stand, turn, bend, tilt and extend. Thanks!!

One of the best analyses of the end of the downswing I have seen.

Incredible results: my strikes are longer and straighter. Thanks!

Any time at the range when someone needs help I refer them to your channel and tell them not to look at the others for the actual swing techniques. I have totally found my swing after a 18 year hiatus thru this channel. I owe it all to you Eric. I didn’t even realize you analyzed swings at your site. I’m looking at it today.

Wow! Probably the clearest instruction of 3 fundamentals to the downswing.

THE BEST VIDEO COACH HANDS DOWN!!!! ALSO, BETTER THAN ANY IN PERSON GOLF COACH I'VE MET AS WELL.

One of the best videos on the golf swing. I watch this before every round. I love all your content.

Amazing swing lesson. So very clearly explained. First class instruction.

You are such a good instructor and the video editing is great.

Your videos are amazing ! I am a beginner and i always watch your tips and try to practice them. Your videos are so simplified that things make so much sense. 😊 thank you.

Thank you for yhese great video's. You are the best and i cant thank you enough for really helping my swing

Eric, yes, best of your videos. I watch you a lot but this is exactly what they told me at one of those golf instruction places where they use tons of technology and compare your swing vs. golf pros. I have played for 20+ years but there is always room for improvement. Awesome, keep them coming.

As someone who stepped out of the game for a few years to focus on a new family. I have since been at the range practicing this drill. What has amazed me is how quickly this has formed muscle memory and how the club feels so much more natural as an extension of my arms. This video got me back into the game. Invaluable piece of coaching. A million thanks. Just spoilt myself to a very nice new set of more advanced irons

Fantastic video !!! I love also that you give details and then hit the ball then it is easier to see how you blend all different aspects of the down swing .Great job Eric !!

Not only a great coach but a great swing to go with it. Love it Eric 👌

This is brilliant Eric !......only just came across it, so simple, basics, with checklists . I ll be taking this to the range and drilling this in.

I'm one of these guys, now 71, trying to reclaim the distance and skill of his youth. I've watched a ton of channels, subscribed to some and this is one of the two best in my opinion. Many golf pros start channels but 'teaching' is very different than playing or 'hit it like this'. Eric does a super job of explaining in useful terms and less time gazing at the ball in flight over and over again. As an ex-CEO, I am not known for handing out unwarranted compliments. This video, or any of his videos, are extremely well done from a learning perspective and are worth your time.

Brilliant lesson, thank you!

You are right the BEST video ever very well explained can't wait to try it I have a hard time extension with my arms Thanks

Excellent!!! Best tip video I've seen in a long time... great explanation of each step... and how to combine them ... really boils the essential parts of the swing down into the basics

THANK YOU! I finally understand. My swing has been lost for years. Caught this video minutes before going to bed. Tried to mimic the feel. Next day after work, I went to the range. My swing has never felt so balanced and I am smashing the ball. Your channel is AMAZING!

Excellent video and well presented! Never seen it before. Thanks!

Great stuff. Thank you for providing slow precise, clear teachings/instructions.

Again, a great video made simple with great results. You are a genius at work. Thank you. I have recommended your channel to many players who are either beginning or experiencing problems. Have great 4th of July 😊

Dude you're a dawg thank you for this content! The 180 yard 7 iron drill really helped me understand the way the lower body should work in the golf swing, obviously, not perfect after a day of work but the distances of my shots probably increased 10-15%. On top of that I was having knee swelling if I took too many shots and this seemed to help me rotate properly, thanks for the tips man greatly appreciated, the way you break things down to the micro details with excellent explanations is a Godsend!

Very good step by step coaching. Thank you so much😃

Excellent video. Thanks!

Brilliant! Best explanation of extension in the downswing.

Great instruction. Very well explained and shown. Thanks 🙏🏽

I tried this at driving range today, every shot was straight and I have been going left recently, improved me 75%, will keep at it to hit with more power later 🎉 thanks so much you saved me!! I've only recently started playing and in my 40's

Eric, 2 car wash sponges from discount store taped together with duct tape better than ball basket...all for under $3 (acts like well advertised ball between arms). Excellent lesson.

Amazing, detailed video! Now time to practice.

very useful advice. Thanks.

Great drill and instruction. Well done. So helpful!! Thank you.

Great info extremely well presented TY

Great video. Very good explanation. It will make practice easier.

This is for sure your best video! Congrats!!!

This makes so much sense, I'll do my best to out it into practice. Taking slow motion vids of myself really helps in noting the progress.

Thanks Eric. Can't wait to go to the range and give this a try.

Excellent and informative video. A must see for all. Ty for posting

Thank you that was great great lesson

Eric, great explanation of a fundamental in golf. Well done!

Great Lesson!!! Thanks.

Brilliant Eric. Well done!

I love the detailed teaching method, great instructional video. Of course I gave it a two thumbs up and subscribed to his channel.

This is genius. You are a beacon in the confusing world of golf instruction.

Simply superb instruction video. Glasgow, Scotland

Best video ever ..very well done .. now I can see why ..thanks Eric

Eric ,this video is great, I was practice on the driving range just now, I will keep doing it until is naturally or muscle memory. Good drill, I'm little steff for the finish over the shoulder ,but I'm working on it. Thanks again Eric.

Agree that is one of your best video's - great advice

You are a brilliant coach I enjoy how you explain each of the swing concepts.

So helpful. I never know what my finish shd feel like! I'll practice this 'til I get it. Thx Barb T

Awesome video! Thank you so much. I will start practicing with arms extended, elbows close, and body turn to keep club head as far away from my body as possible. I’m excited to watch the improvement over time!

This is SO GOOD! Thank you!

Outstanding lesson TY

Very useful. Thanks.

Fantastic! Thanks pal!

Brilliant, many thanks. 😊

I believe this drill will fix my golf swing’s problem. Thanks

You are an amazing coach.

Great drill. Answers a whole lot of questions!

Well done great video

very great info here. I have always struggled with rotation and extension coming through the ball. But knowing these simple key points has made my swing repeatable, and kept my swing thoughts reassuring before i step up to the ball. head behind the ball, elbows connected, extended through the entire arc of the swing, and rotate through!

The explanation is crisp and clear thank you for the explanation

Great Advice video tips

The 0:04 "focusing on how to start the downswing" part is missing from the video?

This is a great video. There are so many videos about that tell you what to do during the back and down swing. It’s not always the best way to teach imo. I have found that, if you understand where you need to get to in the swing your body and brain will figure it out. Any more that teach this way would be brilliant. Great video, great content and a solid swing as always. ⛳️

This is absolutely magic!

Jusqtq discovered qyourq channel and already hooked. You explanation is firsqt class

First class amigo. Greetings from Switzerland

How’s this man giving out free knowledge?😮 Another amazing video❤

Practicing this today!

Finally! I now know what "extension" means. Thanks🤗

Great Lesson! Thank you..the golfers behind you could use some help 😂

Huge help

Great Eric!!!

I think this is an excellent video and now I'm a new subscriber. I've spent the last couple of years really trying to gain a solid knowledge of true (not just "traditionally understood") golf swing fundamentals that are geometrically sound. The visual / overall swing thought I've come up with as a result is that any geometrically sound golf swing (or golf swing instruction) has to support the proper blend of a spinning disc on plane (with the pivot point being the sternum about arm pit high) and the movement / forces involved of a trebuchet. The trebuchet part covers so many things, and it may seem odd at first, but I think it makes sense to most people when they really think about it. I learned some very good fundamentals from your video that were explained in a more effective and easily understood way than I've ever seen before, and they all work perfectly with my overall swing blend criteria. Thank you for putting this video together. There could be other people like me who can make the mistake of taking some things so literally that we end up taking them too far. I think that's possible with the range bucket drill. I think it's a great drill, but if taken too far it could (maybe?) result in preventing (or at least somewhat restricting) the free movement of one of the trebuchet components. Every pro swing I watch in slow motion (I love watching pro swings already in slow motion at 0.25 speed - you can really isolate all the movements that way) includes a naturally allowed compression of the angle between the left upper arm and the left chest muscle as the backswing progresses and at the start of the downswing (within reason - it isn't a forced motion). It may seem like I'm really over analyzing here, but I would want to be careful that the range bucket drill doesn't restrict that motion. I'd also like to say how much I appreciate the shaft angle on the left side picture at the 15:27 mark where you are completing the follow through. Thank you for having that angle still on plane with the swing plane. I'm not sure why but instruction videos that have an overly horizontal shaft position at the end of the follow through almost make me angry. I'm always on the lookout for extremes and restricting the wrists and the overall natural flow of a complete follow through is one of those things that really bugs me. I know this was a wordy comment, but the main point is your teaching method is one of the best I've seen. Thank you.

Loving the kids swing in the background!! 🙂

One of the best ever!

Eric look at Rory and that other guy forgot his name when they are at impact there left arm is straight down there body and no space is seen before they get to your straight arms outward , most people there is space at impact between there left arm and body therefore weak right shots and the Club collapses before straightening out . Your still the best on RU-vid second to none ..

Brother Thank you! Also that "moving your ear towards the target' with pitching has helped me hit even more crisper KFC shots. Thanks for teaching the crisp.

This is perfect…good stuff

Great video

Thanks for another great lesson. Will be working on this at the indoor practice bay I go to. Now I need to find the drill you have to increase lost swing speed starting with no backswing that another favorite of mine, the Average Golfer, just posted saying it came from you.

Thank You

Greetings from Brussels, Belgium. Another excellent video. I have problems with the torso moving forward in the driver swing. Picked up some very useful hints from your “ iron vs driver swing” . Hope it will help tomorrow on the course!

Definitely the missing pieces to my swing, I rotate and extend my arms but don't extend my torso towards target or keep my head behind the ball, hit low stingers all the time. I like the alignment stick between feet as a wall to keep your head behind, great stuff Eric.

Creating shaft lean with forward movement, combined with turning my chest to the sky while maintaining side bend... these were the missing pieces in the work I've been doing to transform my swing from the one I learned in the 70s as a teen into the more modern, big muscle, turn oriented swing I've been working towards for months, years. Thank you!

The best golf lesson ever.

Terrific presentation. Puts it all together where you can understand it clearly in piece by piece. Going to take this idea you presented to the range tomorrow.

This one’s Gold Eric 🤙🏻

This video restored my faith in golf 😂. Thank you! My misses still tend to be pulls even though this has helped with strike consistency after just one range session. Do you think that’s me not getting my weight forward and then coming over the top? Will record next time but just checking what I should look out for

The best coaching

Good Stuff as Always! Would love to see some Ball Tracer Action with the down the line view.

I feel the release really helps me have an extended follow through. Might be a swing thought for your next student lol. I was never really releasing the club properly. And had a chicken wing and never had my arms extended

This is going to be my drill. Thanks

I’m like 10 seconds in the actual video and I know this’ll be huge for me. I’ve compared my swing side by side to many great golfers to help me see what needs fixing and the biggest thing is the swing/turn of my head after impact like a propeller. Excited to watch the rest and see if it helps my swing!
