I Learnt This TRANSITION from PETE COWEN but I wish I learnt it 10 years ago!

This is one of the most comprehensive and well explained tutorial on the transfer from backswing to finish position I have seen. Not only did it confirm movements I make in my own swing but helped me make sense of things I am not doing but can easily implement. Thank you for being so thorough.

That is one of the best explanations of the golf swing I’ve ever heard. How you explain that really resonates with me. I’m headed to Puerto Rico today, and hope to be on the course tomorrow. I’m going to be thinking of this drill and will report back on how it goes.thank you very much.

this lesson offered up anuggent I had been missing during my time in study of Pete's swing building and that nugget is the trail leg knee bend. Your emphasis on the knee and explanation of results relating to improper knee action struck a cord and got me over a hump I was battling. I drilled the inward knee flex to the point it has now become a trigger to initiate the down swing . I feel this move begins the chain of events that create proper shoulder tilt during the down swing creating more meshing of upper and lower body allowing me to deliver the club face in position to allow for more efficient shaft lean and compression of the ball at impact. I have added approx 20 yds to my PW after only a few days of drilling this move...Thx mate

I have finally found Pete Cowen's translation.

This is the Stephen Dean "down" drill.

Very well explained, you make it all so clear, Andy! I will have to incorporate this "pump-drill" into my routine.

This is brilliant thank you so much

As an avid learner and golf geek you rarely come across a video with such clarity. Amazing job Andy 🙏

muchas gracias. la mejor clase. felicitaciones

Dear Andy, during the down swing, do you use arm power or only body rotation power?

The movement of the right knee/hip is correctly described, the motion of the left knee/leg could be described a bit more accurately, even though demonstrated correctly with the driver. Source: On Learning Golf, Percy Boomer, 1941. When you throw a frisbee, you feel how the left hip should move; also when you imagine to 'throw' a heavy suitcase up above your head, like in a train. The left leg action starts earlier, the pelvis rotation is much tighter and the left leg sort of pushes the left hip more or less in a quarter circle behind you and the right hip takes the place of the left hip in a tight 'inside', almost straight motion. Anyway, better to read Percy Boomer, he is the expert; there is a bit more to it.

Great job. Not many can explain Pete’s teachings well but you do. In my opinion it is the most efficient movement and most repeatable way to play golf. A little tricky to learn because it has to be sequenced correctly but it is actually easier than throwing the hands from the top like I was doing. The lowering with the wrist remaining flexed is the key move to free it up and go.

andy, i kinda learned this from some of pete cowens videos and this is helping refine the action. theres's snow on the ground now here in massachusetts but i clear an area in the yard and hit orange wiffle ball off a mat for practice. thnx for the help.

I can do this, until I get over the ball! Shoulder and hip moves to the ball, working diligently with alignment rod.

Hi Andy, what are the charges for the online class

Great video, thank you for the demo.

Really enjoyed that ... looking forward to practicing !

Such a concise breakdown of the hardest part of a golf swing! Can't wait to try this out on the Range tomorrow

Great 👍 thanks 🙏

Yes Andy Ben Hogan said the down swing starts with the lower body!! Would you say then it's kinda both upper shoulder ! and lower! Body great lesson thanks Tom

You’ve got all the movements about right but they are all much too late in terms of timing. Moving left in the early downswing, moving the arms down as the body is moving down, moving the lower body across in the mid downswing is way way too late. The left leg/side should be beginning to extend to pull the right side and arms down to the ball in the downswing. Just like a throw. In your actual swing you time it correctly.

Dude, I have never felt my shoulder turn in the downswing was correct because it would always seem too flat…now I know why. The way you explained it, my shoulders now feel a lot more compact in the downswing. Weird thing is, I now feel like I’m finally leveraging the weight of the club head from behind the ball, while my hands are naturally creating shaft lean. This was a key piece of information I needed. Thank you for sharing! I just subscribed to your channel.

Excellent

Thanks.

Imagine pulling down on a bell rope....get that trail elbow brushing the side of body.....before the synchronised power release!

Lovely strike!

That is an amazing tip!!! When you relate to club golfers I fall into this category. I need to work on this idea in trackman with my practice. THANK YOU. This makes total sense. Brilliant!!!!

Great explanation, perhaps the best I've had. Well done!

Did I understand you correctly that your weight in the backswing only gets to maybe slightly more on the trail leg?

This video explains why 99.99% of amateur golfers have never compressed a golf ball in their life. Who said golfers aren’t athletes???

I am a 12 Hcp and have been struggling with Consistency of control. This video has given me a singular thought of getting that rear shoulder over rear foot and has literally changed my game. I don't have to think about anything else and it's made my timing near autonomous. This is the only video that has fixed my game.
Thank you Andy

The video is excellent and since I've been applying the momentum, I've seen a great improvement. However, too often, bringing the elbow towards the abdomen makes me direct the ball to the left at the end of the movement. Marc-André

I tried this at the range this morning and was pleased with the result with my 7 iron, but I din't get as good a result with the driver, there is still a lot of work for me to do with this drill, thank you for this lesson.

Brilliant video thanks, question if you don’t mind! When do you recenter I may missed that part if I did sorry

Great video Andy

Looks good and feels good in front of mirror. The test will be tomorrow on the course at 08.12. Thankyou for the lesson

I needed this in

Hi Andy,
Your transition training is amazing. After many years I finally understand where and when the club should be. In fact it worked so well I had a hole in one tonight! Thank you for what you do and keep up the excellent training videos!! Best Dave

Really clear and helpful!

I love your teaching. thank you Andy !

This was just as big to me as the lesson where he spoke about spinning your right arm; when he suggested Hogan wanted 3 right hands.
The right shoulder going down, makes me maintain my 45 degrees.

Off season???? What is that

Can’t you just hover the club for driver ?

that trail shoulder move down and through is a
priceless piece in the puzzle ...it works !!🤔👍

I’ve been watching a few Pete Cowen videos on the transition from the top of the back swing to impact which has been great and you have explained how that also relates to hitting the driver. I would say this is the most succinct coaching video I have ever seen explaining how to strike a golf ball. Thank you Andy.

Wouldn’t this make your swing really steep?

Most coaches talked about transition in other terminologies such as weight shift, low body movement, squat, pelvic tilts etc., but for an ordinary golf amateur, I always found it hard to work out for me. However, this tip is easy to be understood and helps me to practice. Well done, Andy! Pete is incredible!

Something about this newcomer to the golf instruction game! You have a gift for teaching fo sho! I will use your videos exclusively this year. Let’s get me in the low 80’s consistently lol
