ANGULAR SPEED! 75% of your SPEED comes from THIS!!!



ENGAGE your ANGULAR SPEED! You’re going to create INCREDIBLE SPEED with very little EFFORT! In todays video I’m going to talk about an important POWER a source that’s responsible for 75% of the speed in the golf swing – “ANGULAR SPEED!” It’s what no one is talking about and it’s low hanging fruit!

This video is going to teach you how to create and release your angles with incredible SPEED using very little EFFORT so you can unleash your true GOLFING POTENTIAL! We all have FAST TWITCH muscle fibers but MOST golfers have no idea how to TAP into this SPEED SOURCE!

IF you feel like the HARDER you swing the SHORTER you hit it! There’s a simple reason for that, you’re not engaging the fast twitch muscle fibers in the wrists which create 75% of the speed in the golf swing!

The vast majority of golfers have no clue how to TAP into this SPEED SOURCE! In this video I rip the band-aid off and explain exactly WHY you’re not hitting it CLOSE to as far as you should be!

It’s important to understand that swinging HARDER and swinging FASTER are NOT the same thing! Swinging HARDER requires EFFORT, TENSION and a HIT REFLEX that doesn’t translate to more distance!

SWINGING FASTER requires MOBILIZING the joints of your shoulders, elbows and wrists. Once you ENGAGE and ARTICULATE the fast twitch muscle fibers you’ll tap into SPEED you didn’t even know you had!

I use four drills in this video that will get you ACTIVATING your FAST TWITCH muscle fibers!

Great DRILLS 👇

1. FEET TOGETHER DRILL
2. L to L (HITCHHIKER) DRILL
3. TWO CLUB DRILL
4. MOMENTUM DRILL

Once you ARTICULATE your wrists I help you marry your new found speed to a DYNAMIC BODY movement! The golf swing is a marriage between the ARTICULATION of the wrists, the VERTICAL motion of the arms, and the HORIZONTALS that come from effective body dynamics! Make sure you watch the whole video because I help you MARRY these (3) essential movements for a POWERFUL golf swing that will take your golf game to a whole new level!

Best,
Coach A.

    How timely. 🙂 At 70, finally committing to overcoming "standing up/early release". So many psychological roadblocks to overcome. Had recently made to the point getting some balls heading in the right direction without noticeable hand/wrist/forearm manipulation, but with side tilt and without the head popping up. Permission to work the wrists this way is so welcomed! I promise I won't over-do it!

    That left heel thing may help me get through this last roadblock of the "hip bump/left foot pressure/left knee bend" followed by the left hip up and back thing. The timing seems impossible.

    Wondering now if maybe thinking of the left foot pressure thing might be via a different part of the foot and have it "married to" the following heel stomp. Wishful thinking? Misunderstanding that sequence?

  2. Robert says:

    Good instructor. Best thing I learned on another of his videos was to keep your back to the target on the downswing to allow an in to out swing path. 👍

  3. Doug M says:

    Fluidity….is a word seldom used by instructors but, if you watch Freddie Couples, Ernie Els, Tony Finau…they ooze fluidity. There’s no stiffness, no rushing, seemingly no effort and that can only come from relaxed muscles and premium timing. I often forget the value of being relaxed but you’ve given me a timely reminder, cheers coach!

    Will try drills.

  5. Loblo says:

    Terrific video. I agreed with you right up to the fast twitch muscles in the wrists. To my view the wrists can act as a free hinge in the kinematic chain. They add speed because just like a (loose) leather thong in the old agricultural flails.

  6. Hi Andrew , just found your channel and love it .
    It’s great to see someone who talks clearly in language we can all understand. Can you please move to the West Country of England?

  7. Tommy Aird says:

    Serious lesson! Excellent video! Thanks, Andrew!

  8. KMurf says:

    Andrew outstanding instructions for every HCer out there, the key is you have to listen to what your saying, I love the way you have to explain your concepts so the know it alls so they don't throw there 2 cents in and correct you lol , I read alot of comments in golf instructions and some people who think they wrote the book on the golf swing have to correct or give there opinions lol It's insane, anyway I'm ranting, this video is right to the piont and excellent for every type of golfer, I'm all about forces in the swing I'm not crazy about mechanics, when you were talking about tention in your joints I believe could be the most important concept to a good golf swing! and I loved the way you said not your hands how they need to be firmly on grip, and the right grip hands on the sides ,stay the same at setup all the whey thru till you contact the ball,,,. very very important for me to hear this things again, such a great video ,Thank you for being honest about how to create power!!

  9. I admit I hate the concept of releasing the club, the golf club will release naturally because the club head is heavier than the grip end. As golfers we tend to fall into one of two camps: those that try to "assist" the release which usually ends up with flipping the club or rolling the wrists, and those who do the exact opposite and try and stop the release which usually ends up with a horrible chicken wing look in the follow through.

    Andrew's drills are great as long as you approach them with the idea of letting the club do the work – don't try and assist it or restrict it

  10. John C says:

    Great video good explanation of a fundamental skill. Far too much unnecessary and distracting camera zooming. Thanks. (Much better sound quality now).

  11. Colin White says:

    I really like the video and your swing makes it look so easy but when I've tried it in the past I end up flipping is it because I'm not turning through?

  12. KM Snow says:

    I clicked on this video because of the words Angular Speed in the title as I’d never heard of the term before. But after watching for 5 minutes I didn’t hear you mentioned anything about it. Not even once. What a click bait.👎

  13. If you are in gaging you quadsracepts you are like a fader of the ball Ala Brooks Koepka …
    The reason one would early extend or hump the ball come over the top or loose their balance is lack of sufficient pelvic tilt …

    Conversely proper pelvic ingaging your glutes and hamstring ( leg bicepts ) reduces humping early extension and loss of body ballance … [ See Dr. Greg Rose work at online Titleist performance Institute T.P.I. ]

    Let’s carry on shall we…

  14. Next point and you can research it ….
    Sir Nick Faldo advocates a chicken wing method to talk five yards of the total length of the shot and control trajectory and spin whin needed or it become practicable …⛳️🏌🏻‍♂️👀
    Let’s carry on to the remainder of the video
    …..

  15. Very good …close to what I learned 35 years ago .. almost all the pros were “ Hands “ players…good on you I teach this method to this day …
    I will though argue with the first point about your hand being on the side -s of the golf club … For my money the are as the should be on the top of the golf club . That the way to “ strike “ a descending downward swing plain ….
    Don’t spank it… and not saying you would suggest that …
    Strike …
    Ok let’s proceed to the rest of the video …

  16. Aaa Bbb says:

    Excellent. 1 QUESTION. in your momentum "drill". How do you get past the ball to swing forward first? Stand up more? Or bend elbows? Or pull arms in from shoulders? If its just a drill, that is one thing. But if it is meant to be incorporated into a normal shot this becomes very important and an added difficulty to re-align to the ball in the downswing.
    Thanks for a great video,
    Schaun

  17. Andrew one of your best thus far great drills I also like how Marcus Edblad on his YT channel explains the circle of speed. You two are the go too guys on YT.

  18. Enjoyed this video because on 4/4/23 had open heart surgery. I am on the road to a very good recovery. Luckily, my followup cardiologist is a golfer. So, he advised, I could not touch a club until I was 8 weeks out and then it was only chipping and putting. (Not bad, that part of my game needed work anyway). Then, at 12 weeks out, July 4th, I could swing easy and only a 3/4 swing. I was told it would not be a bad idea to keep the 3/4 swing for the rest of this season. So, that's what I have been doing. I cannot believe how much improvement I have notice in my ball contact and even though, I have only played five 9 hole rounds my ball striking and accuracy has improved and I have shaved off a couple of strokes off the 9 hole score, due to the 4 weeks of chipping and putting and now better contact.
    Your video feeds right into my whole rehab program. I forwarded this video to the Cardiologist and he responded that he is going to pin it for more heart rehab patients to view and use. Keep up the good work.

  19. Interesting concept. A neutral/weak grip would be able to handle a more 'active' wrist thru impact – but someone with a stronger grip (3 knuckles, or more) would might suffer dispersion issues if the wrists are too active. As a strong grip player – I found I play my best golf when i have "quiet" hands thru impact.

  20. Robert Pate says:

    Great advice, one of the most professional videos I have seen. Extremely articulate in your speech, no ahms, uhs, I mean, etc.

  21. Good video, thanks and keep the instructions coming. I appreciate it.

  22. Jan Claussen says:

    Yeah yeah, this is why you Nr. 1, alt Schule

  23. mark west says:

    I think you're a great teacher and I really appreciate the balance as in "of course I'm not suggesting the body isn't involved", etc.

    I'd like to relate a recent "ah ha" moment for me that fits well with your point (maybe others have / had the same problem I did) that we need to get rid of the tension in our hands, arms, and shoulders. We hear a lot about "a one-piece take away" where we maintain the triangle while turning our shoulders around the spine at the start of the backswing. Sure, technically that's good advice. However, one day I watched several PGA Tour swings that were already in slow motion, but I played them at 1/4 speed. It was then obvious that on every swing I watched it didn't take very long in the start of the backswing before the clubhead and shaft started to outpace the hands and arms, and also early on the arms started to outpace the shoulder turn (primarily I think because of lack of tension in the shoulder muscles and the ball and socket joint that connects the arms / shoulders to the body).

    Of course we need to maintain good structure (spine angle, shoulder angle, weight within the foundation and not swaying, etc.) and we don't want to become on overcooked wet linguini noodle, but once I realized the subtle difference between what was really happening in the take-away vs. a rigid solid-steel triangle I was able to release the tension much better. I also realized I was standing a good half inch too far away from the ball at address because of all that stiff tension.

    Thank you again for relating your emphasis points to other things happening in the overall swing. That is very helpful to me.

    Edit: Don't mean to imply whipping the clubhead and shaft to the inside by the "outpacing" comment. Just allowing the weight of the clubhead to naturally start doing its thing early on (lack of tension in the wrists) while staying on plane. Some others like me might be so "literal" that my comment could be misinterpreted that way.

  24. Nice video . I’ve had tons of success lately running and doing HITT training . Flexibility is huge for golf

  25. James Brant says:

    excellent. this all resonates with my experience (took up the game this year, 5 days a week at the range, lessons, full immersion, few rounds, learning focus). first instructor was all about aggro hip twist right from the top of the backswing. all it did was hurt my back and got me out of synch. this lesson reinforces all the details and timing that when they come together for me, make for brilliant straight shots. i'm getting there.

  26. James Brant says:

    this is timely for me. i'm glad you acknowledge that there seems to be some disagreement in the pro instructional community. there are a few who advocate a very firm arm structure and never discuss the wrist at all (i've watched hours of their material) and some who base their entire approach on hinge and rehinge! i've recently come across Pete Cowan working with various youtube teaching pros, and he's the most confusing of all! he seems to advocate for no wrists, which strikes me as very difficult. i also appreciate that you recognize some aspect of timing can't be simply taken away from the golf swing just through body mechanics.

    Love it !!! Is this the same with driver

  28. R. Goff says:

    Thank you for improving the audio 😄of your videos. This series of simple drills is terrific. I saw an immediate improvement in my swing speed. These drills can be added to just about any golf "system" without contradicting that system. Some so-called tips or drills make your swing worse before it gets better. Not these drills. For those people who flip their wrists (who? me?), the split hand drill goes a long way to eliminating that speed leak. Thanks Andrew.

  29. Brilliant and informative.keep it up thanks for sharing

  30. Thank-you Andrew! Enjoyed the content, visuals, and matching drills all very well presented. Has been saved to my favourites folder!

  31. Les Ranger says:

    These are great drills. Keep on with the instruction Andrew.

  32. well stated Andrew💥

  33. Rich C says:

    Very helpful advice. Thank you.

  34. Not sure if I'm first, but love the channel, Andrew. Subbed and watching.
