Not to interupt your online lesson, but I would describe the correct motion to be "rolling your left forearm" on the backswing instead of turning your wrists. (You roll your right forearm on your follow-through.)

I really don't care what your friend who is on the PGA Tour teacher had to say. I've played on the Australian/Asian/Japanese tours in the past. I am currently teaching, and some of my students get a great deal of benefit from my instruction. Everyone pretty much has their own ideas about what works and what doesn't, I use this drill for people who lack stability. I also get them to put a bucket under their right foot sometimes too, depending on their particular swing issue. It's not meant to mimic the golf swing exactly.

What's next from you? I'm trying to help this fella, you seem determined to "prove" me wrong.

One thing I "know" to be true, is that people who discount other peoples theories without trying and understanding them are not nearly as knowledgeable as they think they are.

I said I have an extensive golf background, but I am no expert, that is why I decided to ask a few experts their opinion. The PGA Tour player is a past winner by the way, so I think his teacher is well qualified. I also asked another top teacher in my area what they thought of your bucket drill and both did not see much use in the drill. The drill promotes hitting off your right foot using mostly arms and little body rotation. A better drill for stability would be hitting balls with your feet together. The towel (or tee) drill will help him with his biggest problem; a disconnection of arms and body in the swing.

This is a forum to exchange ideas and having been involved in golf all my life and having seen a lot of bad advice over the years I felt like giving my opinion. I have never played or taught for a living but I have seen bad advice from those who have. If your drills are helping your students improve that is great as most students don't improve much as most don't put in the time and effort neccessary to get better. I have a couple of friends who teach some of the top juniors in the country and both readily admit their students success has more to do with their desire to practice then the teaching they recieve, although the right teaching can really improve the quality of practice.

You still don't get it do you. Your posts still come across as you/your guy > Me. What is an extensive golf background? I don't care. I wouldn't have brought up my own history if you hadn't dropped the friend of a friend who's an "expert".

Have a look at the video of my swing with my foot on the bucket. Tell me again that my B/S is all or mostly arms. So now that you have gone out of your way to ask these teachers, two of them now, about my drill....can I ask, have you tried the drill yourself? No? You don't understand the drill. Have they seen the video? Why don't you get them to post a comment about it?

A disconnection of arms and body is directly attributable to a lack of stability. Disconnection most often comes from using the small muscles to generate speed independently of the core. All this fellas problems look like a lack of stability. Other than the fact that his balance is terrible, I think he has a really good action. Which is why I didn't want to fill his head with a lot of technical thought.

I don't see a problem with the tee drill or the feet together. I have a real problem with you though. Calling my advice bad has really upset me for some reason. I am done offering advice on this forum. You think you're exchanging ideas, but really you are just belittling other people who you think have worse friends than you.

Golf is a tough game for everybody. I don't mean to belittle you or your abilities and I apologize if I made you mad. You can kick my ass in golf and you can teach better. I just don't like the bucket drill. Peace.

MEOW!

I suppose I asked for that.

Apology accepted Mark. If you really, really don't like the bucket drill I guess I'm not going to convince you. But I will say I have had great success ridding people of the skies and slices with it under the left foot, and the quack hooks/blocks with it under the right.

Peace.

Dunno if it's been said already as most of the post is tl;dr.

The area I'd start with is that you look to be almost reverse pivoting in that your hips slide back while your head stays forward resulting on you not getting your weight back on the backswing. Eventually, when you start to swing, you tend to shift your weight back which leads to a strange finish with more weight than I'd like to see on your back leg.

It's ok for your head to move *slightly* during your backswing, however that movement should be a slight shift back as your weight shifts to your back leg. At that point, you head / spine need to become a "line" that you rotate about as you hit into a solid front side.

Focus on keeping your head still and getting your weight back. Should help your consistency and ball striking.
