I was watching how pga player swing and saw a little seperation of left and right legs, and I thought that seperation was their habit and I din't put my eyes on it because I dont know the seperation of leg drill.
With this video clip, now I understand why pga player are swing like what you are saying.
So great lesson that it is my first time to meet a golf teacher who is giving the clear explanation.
You are the best golfer and the best golf master on earth!!
Thanks Duk, glad it helped. Cheers
I've been looking at UA-cam golf instruction for a few years and this was the first time I've seen instruction about needing to keep the pelvis tucked to make correct hip rotation. Thanks Troy.
You're welcome Peter, it's a huge part of the golf swing. Something I work on all the time in my own game. Cheers
Thanks. Learned more about low hands than ever before. This coming from a high hander !
Thanks Dennis, appreciate it!
I play off a +1 and I just now discovered this. I wish I was taught this years ago as I’m smashing the ball perfectly. Thanks for this
Thanks Garrett, appreciate it!
I am just getting into golf and this helped ME SO MUCH!!! Just got back from the driving range and THIS STUFF WORKS!!! Thank you so much for this information. New sub here.
Thanks Mark, happy to help you out. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers
This seems to be the number one problem in most golf swings. Since working on this my rotation has improved exponentially and therefore the ability to compress the ball. Thank you for the reaffirmation!
Thanks Jim, you're right it is very common. I continually work on it myself also. Cheers for the support. Thanks
Thank you. I've watched so many golf videos and yours is the first one that really explained clearly the importance of keeping that posture and staying down.
Thanks Gregg, really appreciate it.
Simple, clear and on the money! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Ian, appreciate it
Love your golf tips!! Golf is definitely my favorite sport
Thank you, it's definitely my favourite that's for sure
Thanks Troy! Brilliant! So very helpful!
Thank you very much, appreciate it.
Great tip of using the squat to avoid hip shifting. I’ve seen many coaches mentioned the squat but didn’t explain properly which lead me to forget about the squat. Now I understand and will practice this tip. Thank you!
Thank you very much, cheers.
Thanks, easy to overlook something so simple. I went to the range and flushed 98% of my irons by reducing my knee bend & staying in my set up position,
Yes you're right there, great to hear you getting the results so quick. That's awesome mate, keep it up. Cheers
Super helpful because I always lift up. Thank you!
Thank you, appreciate it
Fantastic advice don't often hear this given on many teaching videos.
Thanks Johnny, appreciate it.
Great Video... Thanks you
Thanks Ravi, appreciate it.
Great video. Well understood that there should be minimum leg flex at set up.
Thanks Steve, yes most definitely. Cheers
really good advice. thank you
Thank you Paul, appreciate it.
That was amazing video thank you
Thanks Keith, appreciate it.
Well presented ideas thanks mate
Thanks Patrick, appreciate it. Cheers
Really helpful video. Well explained. I won a 36 hole tournament this weekend after focusing on this move! Thank you
That's great to hear Adrian, keep up good work mate. Appreciate the kind words. Cheers
Congrats dude!
I guess im asking randomly but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account?
I was stupid lost my password. I love any help you can give me.
@Enoch Cannon Instablaster ;)
@Harper Eliseo Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
“Opposite” that’s an incredible way of explaining it.
Thanks Drew, appreciate it.
Tucking in that pelvis is so important. By doing this , you prevent topping the ball.
I worked on a lot of your exercises.
Love them. Build the core in you and to use that core turning the waist and shoulders. My ball striking continues to improve in practice on the range.
It’s baby steps each time but improvement is occurring . I can hit every iron and wood solid many times.
My goal is to get on a golf course by Oct 15 and play a round of golf for the first time in 30 yrs.
Thanks William, yes so true. Good to hear you're improving. Hope you get out on the golf course soon. Cheers
Keeping the hips tucked back/under and by having less knee bend in my set up position (more a of feeling peeking over a fence and looking down, with just a slight knee bend) has changed my ball striking completely. With too much knee bend, even though it felt "athletic", I was standing up at impact, hips moved inward, and I was thrusting the club head resulting in inconsistent strikes and toe-heavy divots. The other thing keeping the hips tucked does is slow my swing down (it's hard to swing fast and stay in posture, and with the hips staying tucked it forces me to slow down and swing in control, resulting in more deliberate swings and less random strikes). Thanks Troy!
No problem, glad it helped. Cheers

the movement you describe certainly worked for Sam Snead! and all the immortals did/do it to some degree.
good golfers go down, less able golfers go up !! cheers great vid and a very good reminder for me as its so easy to start standing up!!
Thank you, appreciate it.
As a tall guy, this video helped me understand why not to bend my knees too much (trying to stack pelvis over ankles and hit a short iron) and not raising my left hip up high during impact. This video also helps explain the why of George Gankas' "drop the bucket" move. Great video!
Thanks Steven, glad it helped. Really appreciate the positive feedback. Cheers
Great Advice
Thanks Lenard!
I wish I could give you a million likes for this! Of course I've seen different versions of this technique over the years but yours is the best...such a strange game...note to self be much more of a stiff until the top...then turn into an athlete.
Thank you so much, appreciate it
Great stuff mate 👌
Jack Nicklaus said he never thought about turning his hips, he just wanted to get them out of the way of his hands coming through
Thanks Brad, yes, Jack was spot on!
i've been sort of presetting sticking out my backside at address and trying to maintain throughout. it seems to help with the early extension and hitting alot better.
That's great Steve, if that's helping you maintain posture stick with it. Cheers
Just tried the chair exercise. First finding is at top of swing my butt is away from chair not touching, then in transition also my butt is far from chair. Made the moves you suggested, touching chair at top of swing, pushing chair back in squatting transition. Feels new, different. I'm definitely going to pursue this. I'm excited.
Thanks Adrian, takes a bit of practice. Slow rehearsals are great to get this feel. Keep at it and you'll get there. Cheers
good stuff
Thank you, appreciate it.
Hello Troy. I notice that you generalize at 2:03 about the contact faults rather than even mention the dreaded shank. We don’t even like saying the word do we? Keep up the good work. The videos are great.
Yes David, it's a bad work to talk about. Appreciate your support. Thanks
Cheers for the vid I've always had an early extension no matter what I've tried to eradicate it, gonna give your advice ago and see what happens 👍🏌️♂️
Cheers Malcolm, yes it's tough to get rid of. But working on tucking your pelvis like this definitely works. Let me know how it goes. Thanks
@@Hittingitsolid cheers for the reply I'll get back to you with hopefully positive results 👍🏌️♂️
Great explanation. I have no problem keeping my angles and tush line when I hit DOWN on a ball with an iron. I find it's an entirely different challenge keeping the pelvis back while hitting UP on a ball with a driver. That's when there's the tendency to stand up. If I do succeed in keeping my pelvis back with driver I'll generally pop the ball up. Please advise.
Thank you, I'd check to ensure you have the ball far enough forward in your stance with the driver. Play around with moving it move forward until you get some solid contact. Also, look at if you're getting enough secondary axis tilt at impact which you need a bit more with the driver because you're hitting on the up. Cheers
Interesting ...I've taken a couple of lessons recently and to correct standing up in the downswing the instructor simply suggested I start taller and stay taller. It feels odd and your suggestion makes more sense especially since keeping hands low in the downsing is something else I need to work on. In other words if I stay tall throughout the swing it would seem more challenging to keep hands low at impact. I'm now a bit confused as to how best approach my swing faults. Any thoughts are welcome.....keep up the excellent video lessons.
Hey, I think it's fine to stay taller in the backswing. But, I personally feel we need to drop lower in the downswing to make good contact. Every good golfer on the world tours does this. This is especially true when hitting irons. Not as much with driver. Test it out and practice both and see what sort of results you get and let me know. Cheers
What a great video. I will practice tomorrow in the back garden as uk all golf courses and driving ranges are closed. I’m off 2 ambition is scratch. Now with WHS it should be much easier. I hit the ball decent with eradicating early extension will I hit it further? I tend to flip it and do have a 2 way miss? Do you do online coaching? I could send you my swings. Thanks again.
Thanks Mark, appreciate it. Yes, definitely getting rid of early extension will help with distance. I don't do any online coaching at present as I have limited time. Happy to take a look at your swings some time if you send them to me. Cheers
In externally rotating the right knee at the beginning of the squat: is that primarily to keep the right thigh back a bit longer to allow the arms to have room to pass the thigh as they go into impact? I need to focus more on this drill.
Spot on Joe, yes it's a key move. I struggle with this also and constantly have to work on it. Takes a lot of practice. Appreciate your support. Cheers
When doing the squat move, do you move your pelvis into anterior pelvic tilt? And would you set up neutral or in posterior pelvic tilt?
Thanks you for this video. Very helpful.
Thanks Karsten, at set up ideally your pelvis will be in anterior pelvic tilt and as you move into transition and the squat move you want it to again be in anterior pelvic tilt. This helps you rotate better and stay in posture. Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid I watched this vid in conjunction with the "right arm bent" vid - great advice, thank you, they've really made me think.
At 6:15 you are going into posterior pelvic tilt in order to clear the hips, or am I mistaken? This seems to be something that elite golfers do?
I suffer from blocks out to the right, and I wonder if this is because I am madly trying to thrust the left hip backward with anterior tilt, which only brings my right hip more forward!
Troy, great video thank you.
Tucking the pelvis at setup has really allowed me to shallow effectively in the downswing and make better strikes.
Another big benefit is ease of shoulder turn.. 90 degrees is very easy now, where 70 used to be a struggle from a more squatted starting setup position.
Would a tucked pelvis at setup also help with putting, or do you have any videos for effective putter setup?
Cheers Troy.
Thanks Will. The legs are pretty static in putting so I wouldn't see much benefit. But, putting is very personal so you could give it a shot and see if it works for you. Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid thank you.
@@willdarsow No problem at all. Thanks
You don’t keep an anterior pelvic tilt through the swing. This will cause rotation issues as you can’t easily rotate over your crouched front leg smoothly and your spine will compensate.
Your hips are leading your body, transitioning from the anterior to the posterior during the downswing but the full transition won’t be evident till after impact and follow through. This transition in tilt is fueled by your abdominal muscles crunching and assists in bringing the hips directly through - leading the upper body / arms / hands / club to snap down and through the pocket your abdominals and hips have made naturally by flattening your back and pelvis.
This snap through, is called shallowing the club and all pros do it. Otherwise we’d be just hitting around a circular arc plane - which for some reason is touted as a good thing (I think it’s because this arc Is always viewed from behind the golfer and not on the side). You don’t want a circle as that will not drive the ball forward. You want more of a U shaped basin in your swing (looking from the side - back will look the same as a circle) as this creates consistency and forward driving power. Only way to create the U shape is to ‘drag’ the upper body through the cavity formed by your leading pelvis / back transitioning to a posterior or flat inclination.
You can certainly do it other ways (hell, there are great golfers who don’t shallow the club) and each to their own but the difference in a 135 yard 7 iron and a 165+ requires the pelvis to also ‘shallow’ through to drive first the upper body to do the same to create that pro level snap.
Thanks for your input
Thanks for this video, Troy. Took it to the range yesterday after self-discovering my way to ensuring my hands get lower in the downswing. This seems to put the downswing sequence together nicely.
Just a quick question on this. Do we need to feel the hands making a conscious effort to get lower, or does the squat/tucking the pelvis in take care of this element?
Thanks,
Liam
Thanks Liam, the squat/tucking the pelvis will take care of it. Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid Thanks, Troy! Keep the great content coming 🏌🏻♂️
One criticism of the chair drill is I can anterior tilt my pelvis to make contact with the chair but at the same time extend my lumbar spine resulting in my head going up and bellybutton moving towards ball. short a torso early extension. But if I flex my lumbar spine and posterior tilt my pelvis I don’t stand up but still maintain contact with the chair. My feel is belly button going towards my lumbar spine and small of back going slightly up and away from ball. Is this correct? I haven’t seen it described this way but I seem to be having better results. By flexing spine in transition I also feel like Ioad glutes and can properly extend pelvis and lumbar thoracic spine towards target later in downswing.
Yes, the chair drill is not for everyone. Your feel is definitely another great to practice. If it's working, than stick with it for sure. Thanks
As mentioned in another lesson, I frequently hit fat shots when I squat at beginning of downswing. Help!
Hi Phil, it could be a number of things. Without seeing your swing here's what I think is most likely happening.
It sounds like as you're squatting your golf club is too steep and possibly open. In an effort to square the clubface in the downswing you are flipping the wrists/club and hitting the ground first.
Record your swing on video from down the line and check that you are coming down shallow enough and the clubface is square and not open.
Cheers
You have to pull up at the end with weight ending on the left heel-see Christina Ricci
Troy, when you squat wouldn’t there be a possibility of hitting the ball fat. I tried this but seems I end up hitting the turf first and being fat.
Hey Andrew, yes that can happen. The key is you need to get some shift to the target as you squat. It might be only an inch or two and rotate through. Without that, you can easily hit it fat. Give that a go and let me know. Cheers
Should be tucked away from ball (not EE) but the pelvic tilt angle reduces during the backswing and even more in the downswing. Ask any TPI instructors
That's a great feel also. Cheers
Why not preset the squat position at address, then make your backswing?
Less moving parts during downswing?
Thanks for your comment Moe, it sounds good in theory, but it does make it difficult in my experience to get a proper turn in the backswing if you preset a squat position. If you've tried it and it works, by all means keep doing it. Cheers
Does this also apply to your driver swing?
Hello, yes it does. The same with the driver. Thanks for your comment. Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid Could I send you a video of my swing? I've done a lot of work on it this year. Just wanted to get some feedback. Gone from a 20+ HC to a 12 HC in 6 months.
@@MrSdb127 I can take a very quick look. Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid Great! I downloaded 3 vids onto my channel. Driver, 5i & 52degree.
@@MrSdb127 Ok, I'll have a quick look.
Then how do you start your downswing?
Thanks for your comment. Start the downswing from the ground up keeping the pelvis back. The pelvis will extend up past impact. Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid Thank you so much for your prompt response. You are a star.
