  • he needs to work on his suntan more than his swing

  • Small frame BS!  This guy is a big strong guy.

  • @hardcoremofo Since 5'9'' 160 is a big strong guy....?

  • @brandomower Don't be so insensitive, in some countries, that's very bigggg.

  • @hardcoremofo Lol wtf McIlroy is 5 foot 9 which is quite small

  • @remmy100 Steeper shoulder turn.

  • happy gilmore is rory's father

  • can you all just give me who has the best swing cause you all just said that he was wrong , i thought there is no one couldnt make a right swing cause of their posture, and look at jim furyk he has his swing because of his shoulder is a lil bit lower not almost straight like people normally , and that swing made by his father, so dont judge their swing just show how you swing is it right or worst

  • liking this view very much. its very informative. good job

  • There, that ought to dispel any myths about whether the hands and arms are active in the swing. Look at how quickly the toe of the club closes over here (compare Jhonathan Vegas or Tiger Woods at the same point, and you'll see mostly the same thing) just past the ball, and watch how his forearms rotate and release (cf. Phil Mickelson or Tom Watson).

  • @remmy100 the only fixs for that is your right elbow! if you hold it long enough ... like rory does which he does ridiculously , you wont come the top

  • Congrats to the 2011 U.S. Open Champion.

  • I hear he has a whole huge complex at his house, is this form there?

  • whatever your swing may be... I believe its all unique.. :)

  • I swing just like that... except that my head moves, my elbows pull in and the ball goes right.

  • Get in touch if you want a full explanation of the swing-I have it and know why and I'd love to share it so as many people as possible can improve to enjoy this wonderful game. I'm not trying to sell anything and I don't just give you 'tips'. I do this for a living- I'm serious-get in touch...

  • Just think.. he'd hit the ball so much farther if he were more upright but god does he have a nice swing

  • looks an amazing swing but notice at impact his whole body is aiming MILES to the left rather than down the target line. it obviously works for him however!! wish i could say the same lol

  • how can u turn ur hips so fast and far without coming over the top? thats what plagues my swing.

  • @remmy100 Notice, its his hips that are turning and releasing ahead of his shoulders unraveling the kinetic chain. In other words his hips and shoulders are not turning as one unit. The hips release and get out of the way and his arms and hands have time to come downward and from the inside as he starts the downswing. Try this next time your on the range. Line up like you would to a target, then take a swing but force yourself to "push" the ball right of your target.

  • @brandomower That was my swing last year. Today I'm trying to get less hips and it just makes it way safer. I CAN play without thinking "Am I gonna go as fast as I need to be to not slice it?!". I would never recommand to do his swing, you really have to practice it every day to have fully control of it...

  • @frozel The basic positions of his swing I would have no problem recommending to anyone. It is the speed at which he executes the swing through those positions that makes it more difficult. He swings pretty hard and hammers the ball for his size and that swing. The swing is fine, the speed is what takes the practice to time.

  • @frozel You're thinking is backwards. if your body were in correct positions throughout the swing the faster you go would with the body the more you would encourage a slice... The faster you move the arms independently of the body would encourage a hook... Ideally you want to be able to move your body as fast as possible with the arms trailing behind but with the ability to still square the clubface at impact.

  • @brandomower Yes and that requires a perfect rythm! I didn't say it wasn't a nice swing, it is, but it's hard to perform. And we can see that most professional swing look (a bit) like this, so it proves that it's a useful swing.

  • @brandomower i'm trying to do that now aswell, but now i just over-draw or hook thed ball.

  • @remmy100 Make sure you are not hitting a slice but just pushing the ball straight right of your target. It maybe only 15 yards right maybe 25. Get the feeling of the club moving from the inside out. You can also think of contacting the inside portion of the ball with the club as a visual. That is, the portion of the ball closest to you. Let me know if that helps or makes any sense at all! :)

  • @brandomower nowadays i dont have a problem pushing or drawing it. its more like, how do i stop pushing/drawing the ball lol. Overcorrected and now im stuck with another problem......crazy game.

  • @remmy100 same thing with me :(

  • @remmy100 I usually try and bury my right elbow behind my right hip, that tends to let my hips move fast, as does create that in-out swing path into the ball. But, I am no expert, thats just what I like to do.

  • @remmy100 he didnt turn his hips..its weight shift.observe where the knees are pointing..

  • @DFORCE8228305 absolutely 100% incorrect.

  • @brandomower It's 50% correct because he does make a weight shift first, then turns the hips haha!

  • @Tourswing eh i dont like the term weight shift used in golf. Your weight should be pretty constant throughout the first half of the swing. It should be focused on the inside right portion of your right leg assuming your a right handed golfer. Then as the hips start the down swing the weight will automatically shift with the lateral movement of the hips toward the target. Trying to manually shift one's weight throughout the golf swing can lead to diaster.

  • @BILLUPS811 Backswing- Yes-It's pretty much the weight of the arms and club moving that causes the transfer. Downswing- Yes the weight shift happens automatically if the movement is correct but it is a learned movement (its simple in concept, more complicated in reality).For me its a deliberate 'squat'. ie a bend of the left leg, squaring of the hips and a feeling of pushing of the heel into the ground. As impact approaches the left leg straightens driving off the ground through that heel/ankle.

  • @DFORCE8228305 I am not a PGA pro, but "weight shift" is accomplished bu LOWERING the center of gravity down in the downswing. The hips are the MOTOR to "weight shift". If you turn your hips improperly it is called sway. To learn this I did a drill most are familiar with and that is hitting with the feet together.

    Most of us see what the arms are doing, yet it is the LEGS especially the right thigh that controls the arms. That is how most atheletes thow with POWER.

    readers digest..

  • @remmy100 if you turn hips your alignment will be gone..hint: your body is the ruler..the hands and arms follow the parallel setting..

  • @DFORCE8228305 sooo ur saying NOT to turn my hips? If thats the case then why do all pros rotate theirs?

  • @remmy100 Search this video,..Golf Swing Lower Body Action Coach Kendal . You will get a clear explanation of how to rotate, hips, knees and shoulder,etc... Unless you are hypermobile like Gumby, we all turn are hips. The arms transfer the blow, but the hips and thighs CONTROL IT. Also, there is no ultimate swing. What I like about golf is that even on a bad day I can shoot a good score. That is not perfect, just "under control". That what golfers really want! Good Luck.

  • @DFORCE8228305 That is so false. Actually pros talk about hitting out to first base. That is the sensation. There is no straight golf shot except by luck. Most all balls are curving. By .04 secs his knees are set and then by .08 his shoulder is set. Hips are the motor. Hips are kept quiet only for hypermobile player who are super flexible with their uper body. Not most of us.

  • @remmy100 give it a try if you want..if not i aint forcing you man..good luck..

  • @remmy100 you just gotta flatten you swing mo.

  • @remmy100 easy! weight transfer first then make the hip turn. Hands/club/shoulders do nothing while those hips turn until the hands/club have dropped 2 feet or so. Do not push with the right side or shoulders at all. It's like you are squatting to square up the hips. The only other thing you need to do is release the hands/club through impact and voila! Square clubface, in-square-in path and lots of speed. Any questions please ask-I can tell you how and why and have the solution for you.

  • @remmy100 Don't think of your hips. Turn against your right knee and "pull" through the swing with your left side leading - you have to use the big muscles in your back, the hips will follow and move out of the way. Look at the spring like loading in his back when he takes the club back the he pulls through the swing.

  • @remmy100 Get flexible like this guy. Over the top is caused by rotation of the shoulders, not the hips. If you are limber enough, the hips can shift all day without pulling the shoulders open. Pros also don't turn their hips from the top, they push them to the target from the top. The turn happens when they are pushed as far forward as possible.

  • @bunkerputt well my flexibility has increased but its still not where i want it to be. 

  • @remmy100 Make sure you learn to hit the ball with your left shoulder /arm/hand first.Of course this follows the proper weight shift left.Keep the right in play only as a point of connection,but think of only hitting with the left.Too take it to another extreme hit with just your left hand only.Of course your wrist must be flat at impact.Release at your right hip.You will still have plenty of power and you will see it is the over active right =OTT.Then adding the right when ready.Let ME Know

  • @remmy100 Also be sure you are connected between the left arm and upper front chest.This will make your back turn in harmony with the arm.You can goof around with this just by hitting 5 foot chips /picthes in your yard.When Johnny Miller was at his best he was seen practicing left arm 7 irons and hitting them 160+

  • @remmy100 If you think of your left hand straight on front of you with a slight bow of the hand and think of slapping the right hand (is the club head) into the left hand you will mimic the golf swing at impact. You might come over the top by un-consciously trying to lift (flip hands) the ball up. When you think of "energy transfer" to the ball then to the target the "slap" makes sense. Also the bottom of the arc is at the ball. So don't steer the club"over the top.

  • @sessien I thought the bottom of the arc was after the ball, hence the divot?

  • @remmy100 That is a great question. I would focus on the spine being the bottom of the swing. If you take the ball away and take a swing with your spine "quietly" rotating in the same spot, the swing should bottom oput at the spine. When you hit an iron you would have the spine slightly ahead of the ball. When you swing around a "quiet spine", meaning your spine does not go to the back in the back swing and forward in the forward swing, the club will bottom out at the spine.

  • @remmy100 Because the spine is"slightly ahead of the ball, you will get a natural descending blow on your irons effortlessly!! Same for the driver. Set up with the spine slightly behind. You will get a launching of the club head. NOW I believe this is correct for me and from my lesson with my pro however for this to work the hands must not return to the same postion they were at address. At IMPACT the CLUB HEAD should be in alignment with the spine and the hands ahead.

  • @remmy100 Look at Rory in this video: RORY MCILROY SLOW MOTION 18TH ST ANDREWS DUNHILL LINKS 300909 . His spine for the driver is very quiet.

    Also focus on impact and the spine,  The reason to get a better backswing is to get into a better impact postion. So once you understand how to get into a good impact postion, your backswing will change AUTOMATICALLY because your body will be concerned with getting the clubhead in line with the spine and hands ahead.

    Hope this helps.

  • @remmy100 correct

  • @remmy100 as long as the divot is ahead of the ball and not behind it

  • @remmy100 Also if you flip your hands, no matter what you do nothing will help.

  • @remmy100 starting the swing with your left leg and hip pulling you into the shot and not initiating the downswing with your shoulders is what stops you from coming over the top. most people start with the shoulders and arms

  • @remmy100

    Your shoulders are dominating. Every great swinger of the club has a distinct differential between where the hips are in their unwinding at any given point in the downswing, and where the shoulders are. Make your shoulders respond to the force coming from the ground up and the swinging of the arms and club, rather than trying to create any force with them. Take a look at any DTL slo-mo view of any great player and you'll see what I'm talking about.

  • @remmy100

    Look, for instance, at how long Rory's shoulders are turned away from the target (and right forearm behind and under the left forearm) as the legs and hips are moving. He actually gets a bit ahead of the ball at impact with the shoulders, more so than many great players, but you can see the shoulders still turned and the club coming from inside at the 9-10 second mark until the club is only milliseconds from the ball (it'll appear a few inches above the grass at that point).

  • @remmy100

    Then, look at how his forearms and hands are releasing hell out of the club. This is the opposite of an OTT player, who dominates the downswing with the shoulders and then has to hold on with the hands and arms and fight the release of the club, if he's going to hit the ball anywhere near the target line. If you ever hit the ball with a good release with the shoulders responding to the action instead of creating it, you'll never forget it and nothing less will ever do.

  • @emncaity Well, I've recently changed my swing (again). I now have the ever elusive penetrating ball flight. It's great because I only focus on two things; width in the backswing, and keeping the hips behind me (not coming out of shot ((losing spine angle)). It's a similar motion to Ben Hogan. Loving it so far :)

  • @remmy100 technically your hips clearing should promote an inside-out path. a lot of people you have an over the top swing don't allow their hips to clear

  • @micmayorga the problem is that there's a difference between clearing the hips and simply rotating. i learned that even though I was making a slight lateral move and rotating the hips, I was standing up through impact causing inconsistent shots. Maintaining my spine throughout the swing has really helped my game.

  • I dont see how he's not going ot run into shoulder and back problem later with that swing. The back of his shoulder is going past his neck

  • Is that his house?! Sweet!

  • @MedicAlv1 no

  • @MedicAlv1 theres buggys in the backround you idiot

  • that mustve went at least 100 yards. maybe 125! wow...AWESOME

  • @HeWhoOwnsAll that would be sooo awsome...

  • @HeWhoOwnsAll wtf?

  • pure, fearless and so young....scary good!

  • want to play better golf? pay attention to his left knee...moves in towards the ball and towards his right foot, then moves and rotates left from the top...if you want to get freedom in your swing to hit the ball farther and straighter you have to work on this move....

  • @wrex02 Hogan showed this action in youtube clips too. He believed the knees and hips were the engine of the swing...check out Hogan vids...they are great too.

  • best swing on tour? Yes...

  • @rodiskcin could be

  • @rodiskcin I don't know about that..but that swing is up there with the best...

  • @rodiskcin I think it is. one of the most effort less swings. this swing is going to last a while.

  • @rodiskcin I don't know about that...but its up there...

  • not a lot of wrist.

  • Jim McLean made note of that hip action years ago, it happens in many players and doesn't mean that much in my opinion. It certainly isn't the reason Rory hits it a long way as some people have been surmising.

  • his hips stop because through impact his back foot is close 2 be flat on the ground. then after impact his club and hands pull him up in 2 the finish

  • Unique view yes....of his lily white legs!

  • It would not suck to have that swing!!!

  • thats some amazing stuff!!!

  • He really gets his hips open at impact. It's not just flexiblity, but joint mobility as well. Two different concepts. Most average players have little of either.

  • that ball just got rory mac attacked

  • that ball just got rory mac attacked

  • because hes flexible i mean its easy with the irons but when it comes to swinging a drive you really dont see that left foot really planted

  • I believe it was taken at the Titleist testing grounds....

  • how does he keep his left foot planted with all that turning and torque?

  • @NikeGolf35 Flexability

  • Where was this taken?

  • he has amazing balance, great swing indeed!

  • He copied that swing from me!!!

  • Im not exactly sure why people make a big deal about that so called "recoil" in Rory's hips just after impact. I could be very wrong, but to me it just seems that rory spins his hips so hard that naturally at a certain time the hips have to stop to let the upper body catch up.

  • @cjcollas It's not a "big deal", it's just interesting and noteworthy.

  • Comment removed

  • @cjcollas, what do u mean when u say that rory spins his hips just before impact?

  • @NikeGolf35 ur hips are ment to be turning thru the ball at impact but it looks like rorys hips almos go backwards for a split second at impact.

  • @cjcollas You're right, they have to stop because of the laws of physics. People who think the hips need to keep turning the same way with the same speed through impact don't understand conservation of angular momentum and are probably just parroting what they learned from Peter Kostis and his swing vision "analysis".

  • @cjcollas nah he extends both legs at impact stopping the rotation of his hips for a sec, its not a big deal

  • an amazing swing! just perfect.

  • No im better

  • I'm better

  • probably not...

  • @brandomower lol

  • @brandomower he is,ive seen him..

  • @shawlerstyle

    Maybe at playing w/ yourself?? He is currently ranked in the top 12 IN THE World.

    People like u are wasting time with that comment.

  • @edsurfmich I'm still better.

  • @shawlerstyle lol...noob
