- The BEST GOLF DOWNSWING DRILL I've ever seen - it takes care of the whole golf downswing in ONE SIMPLE MOVE! What starts the golf swing downswing? How does the downswing work in the golf swing? What is your body supposed to do in the downswing? This is a simple and complete lesson on the downswing piece of the golf swing. The downswing is one of the most important parts of the golf swing and is often misunderstood. There are many moving components and you can easily over-complicate the motion.
What if I told you there was one drill or swing tip that could take care of all of these complex moving pieces in the downswing?
There truly is a way to capture the entire downswing and practice it using ONE DRILL. In this episode, you will learn how to combine all the pieces of the downswing into ONE FLUID MOTION.
In this lesson you will learn 3 main things:
1. Understand how the downswing works in the golf swing in high detail - including club and path motions, how the body moves, how to apply power, and get to a flawless impact position, and MORE.
2. Learn a simple drill that combines all of the complex downswing motions into ONE MOTION for your golf swing.
3. Learn how professional golfers repeat their downswings alongside Tom in an in-depth golf swing analysis session.

My philosophy is wholly based on the student having a fun, meaningful experience in a frustrating and complicated game where potential lifelong golfers either quit because it is too difficult or that they experience some form of swing-related pain or discomfort. I mitigate these problems by focusing entirely on the student’s needs and goals while teaching a golf swing method that ultimately takes stress off of the common pain areas of the swing.

Can I use a kettlebell instead of a water melon? 🙂 ... If yes, what would be the ideal weight of the kettlebell that I should use?
Thanks
@@kamal9802 I'm wondering the same thing...
What's the ideal weight?
And would repeating this motion, and increasing the weight of the kettlebell, to build strength and increase the power of my swing?
Or do I just need to repeat chunking the basketball at the target, to keep that feeling??
@@kamal9802 it is better to use a round object that positions your hands and arms more similarly to your golf swing. The weight should be at least 10% of bodyweight to start. You will quickly become stronger, so then increase the weight.
tried to do it in one motion but it didnt work for me . i hade to learn the bump first then the rotation. i just started doing everything really slo-mo to get it ingrained.
Tom, I have watched many of your videos, but this may be the best one ever. This video perfectly illustrates the right golf motion and does it is a way that makes perfect sense. And, you do it with your usual sense of humor and desire to genuinely help. You have a gift for doing this. Much appreciated!
I sincerely appreciate your kind words regarding my instruction content and style, Brother Derek!! Yes - the "Watermelon Drill" is a great one for sequencing the swing and building in the proper downswing feels, and it's one of the go-to lessons in my online school. I'm very glad to know that is resonated well with you!
Thanks again and keep it crispy!!
TS
Ok, so I have to be completely honest... First time I started watching one of your episodes, purely comic relief! Then, 5 minutes in, you intrigued me ... so I continued to watch... I am so happy I did! Tom, you have a gift! You have figured out the way to turn complexity into simplicity, with a little humor! I was a low handicapper, that left the game for 2 years(My father passed away, he was my golfing partner) ... Came back and could not find my game again. Dont get me wrong, I could play, but my drives were 80 yards shorter, my irons were not butter and my confidence was low, way low!
'
You fixed me ... Some how, some way, what you say clicks... How you say it makes total sense! From one golfer to another... THANK YOU! I can only hope that more golfers find you, gives you a chance, and has the same results I did.
If you are watching Tom's video for the first time... This is a NO BS comment, I swear, listen to his explanations, its broken down to such a basic understanding that works! Take that info and head to your club or driving range and put what your learned to work for 30 minutes. I promise you.... You will be amazed!
Thank you TOM!
Well said and absolutely true.
Jack,
You are absolutely right. If Tom can help this mess (me), he can help everyone. Keep at it, and have fun!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for the shout-out, Jack! I'm very glad to learn that you've gotten your game back after your hiatus. Sorry about your dad's passing. I can certainly empathize with your situation given the countless rounds I've played with my dad.
LOL Dale! Glad the instruction is helping you clean up your "mess"!
Mr Saguto... I haven't played golf in 10 years. I was too frustrated to care when I was younger . Picked up the game again and found your videos and it is honestly like magic. Never felt so good playing . Love the game and love your videos. Keep up the good work.
Amazing channel Tom, my favorite one cause you don’t clickbait or have a 15 minute long into, just right to the dam point!! ⛳️ cheers
Thanks Sean!!
Damn right!
Yeah Sean!
Very bad
Sorry very good
That was it! Thank you Tom! The hip move toward the target combine with the hands leading during the downswing and maintaining that position as long as possible then the hip rotate last. Had some of good ball striking out on the course today. I didn even spend more than 10 minutes on the range prior to going out and only golfed once a week. Awesome tips! Thank you again.
After ten years and 100’s of fix your slice tutorials this is the one swing idea that worked!! So simple and that’s why it’s perfect. I gained 30mph balls speed and 60+ yards with the big stick with no additional work. Watermelons, who knew??? Thanks Tom 😊
That's awesome, Les! I'm very glad to know that the watermelon drill resonated well with you. Great job incorporating it into your swing!!
Tom

Great instruction Tom. It's great the way you tell us what to do straight away and don't waste time telling us all the things we are doing wrong.
Tom you are hilarious & very entertaining. Great fun coaching 👍🏾
Tom is by far the best instructor out there. His teaching is clear, to the point, entertaining, and most important, it works.
Thanks Tom million times. I really appreciate the simplicity of your teaching
Once again you break it down to the simplest way. Great videos as always.
You are the BEST golf instructor EVER!! For real. Thank you!
I didn't think too many others could be in the class of Rick Shiels and Chris Ryan for golf instruction but you've done it Tom. You have an incredible way of teaching. I can't wait to try out what you've taught me.
I have been watching your videos for the last six months and I find as a senior golfer for you to be absolutely spot on. Meaning you break it down in simplified terms and easy to understand drills ....I wish I had you as a golf instructor when I was in my twenties...but then again you weren’t around. You can spend thousands of dollars on lessons only to be more confused and going back for more lessons. Keep up the great work Tom !
Thanks so much for your kind words, Robert! So glad the tips and drills are working for you!
Your a genius Tom , and officially the only swing channel I will watch , my drive went from 180 to averaging 230 and occasional 250 , now to fix my irons 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Well done, Greg! Keep up the great work. "Crispier than KFC" irons are definitely in your future!
Great teacher. Tom makes it understandable and simple. Wish I had this instruction 40 years ago. Haven't played in 6 or 7 years, but have been going to the range and I'm seeing positive results. Can't wait to take it to the links.
I appreciate your kind words, Barry, and I am very glad to know that you are enjoying and benefiting from my instruction content!
Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!
Tom
Truly simplistic and highly effective. Every video is everything you need to strike the ball purely. I couldn’t break 95 mph with my old swing and I now can swing my 3 wood up to 106 mph. Thank you. Tom and his simple Stack and tilt is the best. Why are there other philosophies of the golf swing?
I truly appreciate your kind words, Tom!!
Isn't it interesting - and sad - that with all the advances in equipment, technology, golf course grooming, etc. the average golfer still can't break 100?? Epic failures within the realm of instruction, perhaps??? Unfortunately the sorcery afoot in this dark underworld of golf instruction rarely finds its way to the mainstream because if too many folks found out about it the mainstream would then be rendered irrelevant.......
Thanks again for your support and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Excellent demonstration......thank you!👍👍
This drill actually helped me a lot with feeling the club working around my body in the back swing. Thank you for this awesome video.
STOP THE CHOP! Love this technique! It creates a ton of effortless power. Thanks Tom!
Today I was looking for how to initiate the downswing and voila! Thank you very much. I had read about the basketball pass in Ben Hogan's Five Fundamentals but just passed over it, LOL, what a fool. So thanks again for this!
Great Video! Thanks for simplifying, Tom!
Wow! At last someone like you (and a few others) are communicating how to understand and feel the body motion sensations that almost automatically result in and control a natural swing to simply send the golf ball to the target! At last after 30 years I get it, and only hope not too late for this old dog to change - but this natural movement is just what us senior golfers needed to play longer. Amazing to see all the great golfers videos through time have same lateral and then turn movement. Conspiracy theorists might say teaching pros have always known this but tried to get us hackers to move to set positions in the swing instead so we just have to keep coming back for more lessons without explaining the solutions in a way we need to actually make the changes and use the similar type of natural body movements in other ball sports like tennis and baseball. Thanks!
Best explanation of downswing ever. Thanks!
Brilliant credit to you on how much effort you put into these videos thank you
Used your system today. What a difference. Increased power/speed by 20 yards or more. WOW!!
Wow I think this is the fix I need the practice swings in the yard feel and divots look great, big thanks.
This dude has completely changed my golf game. Super unorthodox, but extremely effective.
Just tried this, yup never hit the ball better what a great feeling...throw the watermelon....magic
Thx man... A great reminder/learning, to understand an important part of a powerful swing ;)
Tom! Your instruction and communication style is awesome! I am benefiting immensely! Thank you!
Great explanation. I’ve been wondering that for years.
Another GREAT lesson! 👍🏻
I've been "Rotating, then shifting" my whole life 😩 "Argh!"
Finally, someone's explained what SHOULD be happening!
This is the best lesson I've ever had. "Lateral, THEN rotation". Path, then face!
THANK YOU!!!
Keep up the good work.
(Did you really say, "like hitting the hammer with a nail?") 😂
Sounds like you got this, Mike! (And yeah - maybe I did say that. You can ask my dad about my carpentry skills LOL!)
Likewise. If I were to replicate my downswing with that watermelon, I'd end up shot putting it directly into the ground about 2 to 3 ft in front of my left foot. This explains the motion so clearly. ❤
This really is a great instructional video and I love your enthusiasm. Thank you Tom.
Thanks so much, David! Glad to know it's helping you!
I am just learning how to play golf and these videos help so much.
That slow mo sequencing shows it - wow! "YES" indeed.
Thx, Tom!!
My pleasure, John!!
Thanks for the lesson bro!I finally understand the downswing..
I enjoy your videos....You get right to the point....Thanks Tom !!
Great video.. very well done .. keep it simple.. Keep them coming..
This video is an excellent addition to the golf school which Im enjoying by the way . For me while on the course I felt like I had the shoulder turn down to the ball down pat however, my downswing felt inconsistent. I believe this watermelon drill will help immensely.
Thanks Tom
JJ
Genius. To the point. With a sense and fun.... You've revolutionized my golf. Thank you, thank you. Broke 90 for first time. Having loads of fun. Steve aged 60..... X
Totally changed my golf swing! Helped me make consistent contact with the ball. Such a simple change helped me tremendously thank you!
Glad it helped you, Nicole!! (And I hope no watermelons were harmed in the process!........😆)
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Tom, you made my golf much much easier .... thank you so much
I’ve not golfed aside from the yearly Captain and Crew for 20 years, used to shoot 90-100 the half dozen times I’d golf a year baseball golfer since 20s, 60 now. Ive been trying to learn the swing this time before playing rounds and getting frustrated. Always liked your tips Tom and love your swing, the one tip you mentioned in this vid made it all the difference, the hip bump, I didn’t know how to time my backswing and that bump made it all fall in place with a better club path, amazing man thanks , cant wait to hit some balls!
Seriously forget every lesson you have ever had Tom is beyond brilliant concise - funny a brilliant package
Thanks so much, Buddy - I sincerely appreciate your ongoing support!!
Tom
Definitely was having this problem thanks for the downswing tips
thanks Tom!!! You are awesome!!!
Thanks Tom, I'm in my 70's & have delt with back stiffness, hitting fat & thin resulting in inconsistencies. I saw your video for the first time, the one on the simple Ben Hogan swing. Unbelievable results with every club at the range. I normally fatigue after a 68 bucket but handled a 125 bucket effortlessly. Thank you, Mike
I'm very glad to learn that my channel's instruction is benefiting you, Mike!!
This is indeed a very body-friendly method. For me it is supported by my personal experience as a player and furthered by the fact that the majority of my students are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, and joint replacements - and they are overwhelmingly elated to experience the dramatic pain-free game improvement and resulting enjoyment that this swing affords them.

Tom
Thanks for keeping it simple.
Nice! Thanks Tom...you are a great resource.
Thank you for this video it is a great way to feel the move.
I really struggle with the missing piece of it though. When the arms switch positions from left arm below to left arm above the right to get to the top of the backswing. The downswing gets me twisted up about that too.
Thank you for doing all these great videos. Please keep them coming.
Love this drill!
Love your way of simplifying everything the best.
Thanks James - I'm glad to know that you are enjoying my instruction content and delivery style!!
You are my best teacher for sure!
This makes the swing look soooo easy
This drill is definitely one of my personal favorites for that reason, Lee.
To be clear, golf is indeed a very difficult sport. But if we can simplify the swing so as not to rely on timing and/or exceptional hand-eye coordination, then we can achieve consistently great results without having to continuously work so hard. So we put in the time and effort on the front end to build the swing, and then we can enjoy low maintenance, powerful, predictable, body-friendly ball striking bliss for the rest of our lives!

Tom
Love it!!!!!! Been really struggleing lately .... very discouraged at the moment!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬
Stick with it, Matt! Frustrating as it can be, try to still have fun with the process. You'll find it!!
Completely bonkers. Completely brilliant. Subscribed !
A brilliant piece of instruction. Entertaining and most of all it made a lot of good sense. Many thanks from the UK.
Great visual description. I will try to implement this during my next practice and will update. Thanks for the great video
I'm glad to know that the "watermelon drill" resonated well with you, Carlos. This "feel" has certainly helped a lot of golfers out there to dial in a good downswing path. I hope it performs well for you too!!

GOLD just golden information
A powerful video! Thanks Tom!
Thanks Gary! The "Watermelon Drill" has helped a lot of folks resolve a myriad of downswing, contact, and ball flight issues. I'm glad it resonated with you!!

Pretty good!! Best explanation I’ve ever heard. Kudos!
Thanks Stan - I'm glad you enjoyed the Watermelon Drill! It's one of my favorites!
Tom
Thank you, Mr. Saguto. You are the BEST.
Thank YOU, Bryan - I sincerely appreciate your kind words and I'm very glad to know that you are enjoying and benefiting from my instruction content!!
Tom
great swing thought,it works.love the humor also
Awesome visual and training aid! Genius!!!
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it!!
Don't smash that delicious watermelon!! 😆
TS
Great lesson, you are making this very easy to understand. I have found your videos a couple of weeks ago and it's already made quite a change to my ball striking. I used to struggle to hit fairway woods, always used to try sweeping them off the turf which lead to thins, tops or fats but with stack and tilt I can see an improvement here as well.
I truly appreciate your kind words, @MrCoolSpanner, and I am very glad to learn that my channel's instruction has benefited your game to such an extent!! You're obviously doing an excellent job digesting my lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it!!
Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!
Tom
I enjoy review. Good stuff Tom
Love your tips
Hey Tom today I finally got to play a round, very first hole par 5 i hit the green in two 4 foot for eagle and made it, i tried the new swing and it worked. My irons i was over thinking and hit some poor shots, had some bogeys and 4 doubles but rally on through and never gave up and got 5 birdies, i shot an 80 without playing in 3 months, the swing works on my drives, 2 iron off the tee was flying and rolling 260-280 drives were a little better around 290-300 in the fairway, the doubles were from shanks standing too close to the ball, back nine i was only 1 over par with 4 birdies the most ive had in a very very long time, thanks for all the vids, ill send a video of the swing and total on the drives, my irons and putting are also dialed in now, front nine i was getting the swing back, next round im going under par 100 percent
That's fabulous, Jamie! Very impressive yardages, too. Please keep me posted on your continued progress!
Don't know how I missed this session Tom but could watch it over and over. Those Pro examples help me to visualize how to get to a full finish. As always-GREAT stuff. Stay safe-Russ
Thanks Russ - I'm glad you enjoyed this downswing lesson from the archives. It's definitely been a popular one!
TS
Wow. This is so excellent. Thank you!
I'm glad to know that this lesson video resonated well with you, Michael!
Thanks for your comment!
tom
Ive been watching you for awhile Tom, and Ive been improving. thank you so much. I think I was forgetting the "lateral move" in my swing which probably accounts for some of my inconsistencies. I learned the weight forward, the Arnie shoulder, the ben hogan arms, now I get to throw watermelons!!1 awesome dude. Im about to sign up for your online school. Ive gone to 87 - 92, from over 100 previous, now I only go in the trees to get shade now, ball search isn't as fun as whipping watermelons at my wife. thank you so much
LOL! Apologies to your watermelon-whipped wife, Danny!!
Yes - that lateral slide of the hips through impact is critical.
Keep up the great work!!
Tom
Thanks very much I am really glad I meet you excellent excellent excellent teaching I am soooooo relieved and happy that it’s going to work great
This video is in my Top 3 of all of your videos. i especially like the way you always focus on and teach technique, rather than weight shift. Weight shift is not a technique in itself. It is the result of technique. So many instructors seem to misunderstand this. The best part is that I believe this drill will help me catch up to my 12 year old son who recently exceeded my distance. I've got to catch that kid!
Once that 12 year-old feels you nipping at his heels you'll own him again, Raymond. 💪💪 Keep on working the watermelon and his days of blasting it past you will be numbered. Well, perhaps for a couple of years, anyway...... 😎
Y'all have fun out there!!
Tom
I’ve been using this drill-without watermelon-for a few weeks and today I looked online to see which pros were on to it. Just you, Tom. Everyone else is too much into giving instructions that complicate the swing. A ball toss is an act that needs no instruction because we’ve all done it thousands of times. The golf swing is essentially the body energizing the arms to move fast and in a direction that the momentum of the club would travel if it were a simple pendulum.
Greatest point about the hip bone! It makes it all the sense in the world!! (Need to find these golf shoes you speak of.). Thank you. Mark W.
Tom, thanks once again for great advise simplified! Hope to meet you at Litchfield one day very soon.
Looking forward to it, David!
Thank you, Tom, once again! This tip answered my question I had earlier and such perfect timing! I loved how you used examples of elite PGA pros and with the use of different clubs, too. I'm sure you'll be asked, "Is this the same with driver?" Same swing different tools for different purposes, they are all watermelons. Oh, at first sight of the watermelon, I'd thought for sure you were going to use the watermelon as an impact bag! Go Gallagher! 😆 P.S.: Almost had my first Ace today. 👍⛳🏌️♂️
This changed my game forever
Excellent explanation and video. This is my struggle. Now, I know. Time to practice now!!!! I want you as my golf coach, today!!! God bless and thank you
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you!!
This downswing lesson is a very popular one on my channel, and based on feedback received it has helped countless folks to overcome their steep path issues and experience crispy contact along with a most desirable ball flight. I hope it performs well for you too!
Thanks again for your message and have fun out there working through this drill!
God bless,
Tom

I have been rotating my hips too fast all my life creating a slice (not of watermelon!). Not known how to fix it but this makes so much sense, can’t wait to give it a try!
Excellent content across the board plus some humor….it’s all working for me everything you’re teaching. It’s so much easier with the “ around & behind you” it’s shorter quicker to impact…it flattens the swing assuring a flush strike ( not over and around) keep preaching the good golf gospel it’s the truth.👍
I'm glad to know that you are enjoying and benefiting from my instruction!
Yes - the truth is that we can either simply put the already existing natural laws to work for us, or we can twist, morph, torque, contrive, and otherwise mess with the principles of physics and geometry in an effort to better suit some ill-conceived whims, all the while recognizing that at the point of impact those pre-existing laws are going to be the only things that matter to the ball!
Thanks for your testimonial to this method, and keep up the great work!!
TS
Dagnabbit! I've paid hundreds of dollars to instructors and I just learned more in the first seven minutes of this video. Thank you! I promise to not skip over the commercials on your channel.
I had not even play 9 holes in the last 2 years. I was a 14 handicap at my best, i have been watching toms videos for the last month. Friday i played 9 holes and tried my best to follow toms basics. All i did was shoot a 44 and that was after messing up the ninth for a 7. Cant recommend his program enough. Looking forward to getting out there again. Thanks Tom.
Probably the best explanation of downswing on UA-cam ! Stack and tilt!

The "watermelon drill" sure has helped a lot of folks to properly sequence their downswings, Stephen. I'm very glad to know that it resonated well with you too!
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!!

Hi Tom, watched your chuck the watermelon video last night. Thought I'd give it a try in todays stableford comp without any practice. Scored 45 points off 14 handicap! Sadly not leading, someone else must have seen it too!
My best score ever, many thanks for great coaching videos.

Ha. That rotation before the lateral bump is all me. I like how you broke this down.
You and the vast majority of the golfing world, @Herbinislander!
I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you - have fun out there working on it!

Thanks. Very good drill. Tomorrow practice.
I'm glad you enjoyed the Watermelon Drill, Oscar. This has helped a lot of golfers resolve their downswing issues. I hope it performs well for you too!!
Have fun out there!!
