When the line is "downhill," there is external rotation of the arm at the shoulder joint.

Relative to where it was, yes.

So from the start of the backswing to about "mid" backswing (left arm horizontal?), the arm rotates externally at the shoulder.

On average.

Regarding measurement, do you know how Joseph Mayo is measuring shoulder rotation?

I think it's an AMM graph, but some comments on his Instagram made me a little unsure. And to be clear, I don't think this is Joe doing the measuring. I think he simply posted the graph.

[Big Lex]

How does GEARS set the zero point for things like of limbs, the clubface, etc.? 

I think the discrepancy between the graph you posted and the statements Mike makes in the video must be related in some way to the details of measurement....how and when and maybe even what they are measuring. If, as Mike says in this video, the humerus intermally rotates a few degrees but the forearm externally rotates 20 degrees at the same time, maybe the chart Joe posted uses a measurement that is somehow capturing - intentionally or not - the forearm rotation and attributing that to the arm/shoulder.

Maybe. I gave other possibilities too.

No. You and I have been over this. Forearm rotation for golf is not "external" or "internal." Stop.

The chart Joe showed is almost certainly measuring the shoulder going external, about 4.5° for the median.

FWIW, GEARS does not measure internal or external rotation of the shoulder.

I haven't watched it yet but this seems like a follow-up video.

The part of this video that stuck out to me is around 9:30 when AMG called out Milo for misinterpreting forward bend as side bend.  Just shows you AMG's content is head and shoulders above everybody else.  There's nothing like facts!

My wife had to leave the room. She couldn't take how often I kept replaying things and chuckling.

This video feels like the golf instructor's version of a diss track.

A comment on the AMG video nails it pretty well.

A friend said to me:

This is savage. I love it.

Hee hee hee hee.

Golf instructor fight!

@cedrictheo and I enjoyed this WAY too much.

Lol. Such a calm and casual dismantling of Milo! That’s good stuff.

I thought it was a well done video. I never watched any of Milo's stuff. Still, there are good nuggets of information in the video.
