To all the little idiots commenting on this video, a bit of advice: I am in fact a student of Kevin Battersby, and have been using his swing methods for almost 10 years now since I was in high school. Using these exact principles that he is teaching, I am consistently CARRYING my drives 280 yards with an average of 300 yards total distance. I am also a 2 handicap because of these principles. Instead of running you mouths, why not listen to what he says and you might actually learn something

@GOLFHUNK4U Key:create a fulcrum/connect with the left arm& chest.don't over do it & get rigid.U wil find is that by pulling up and back with the right shoulder you will stretch the left arm acoss your chest.Then push with the right shoulder/arm unit.The shoulders will rotate and so will the hips,but WO conscious effort.Simply think pull/push.P don't get vetical enough @the takeaway.If you go up w the club head U will automatically come from in.Try this in you living room up &down,Pull & push.

So tired of seeing negaitive comments, if you dont like what he is saying, just move on. With that being said; I think this is going to help out my golf game. I feel like I am more in control of my swing! Next time I am on the course I will put this tip to use! It helps just in my yard!

@GOLFHUNK4U The best part of what KB is doing by having a narrow stance the body does turn easier but in relation to the club head and the weight shift almost happens automatically,a little bump insure this.Then you end up with very educated hands and can feel the difference between irons and the driver,which gives people a big problem when they are begginers to intermed..A great remedy when things arent going so well. Just narrow that stance & everthing falls into place.Check out Snead @UTUBE

[GOLFHUNK4U]

@secretogolf yes you're right, i'm wrong. a better swing must be combination of hands and arms swing with a simple shifting of weight to the left foot.

[secretogolf]

@GOLFHUNK4U false the hands and arms when poorly used receive all the blame for poor ball striking & in come the instructors who complicate the swing,the bigh muscle instructors.In the end the hands and arms swing +hit the ball.They must be in the proper position though,right hand bent,left flat and the handle leading the clubhead @ impact.This requires a simple weight shift to the front leg or you can just leave it there if you know what your doing.you must sych your shift and release
