    Probably one of the best pivot examples I've seen to date. This is dead on Mike Austin's method that saves the lower back.

    I was doing exactly what you pointed out. That video helped me more than any other swing change. I could never figure out why I was moving off the ball on my backswing. Thank you so much.

  • @dementus420
    @dementus420 2 роки тому +5

    Great explanation here. I've noticed that a lot of people think that they have to get their entire body mass over the inside of their right foot in the backswing. It's really that you're getting that feeling more from moving your hips over the right foot, but your upper torso and head stay more or less where they started, just wound up at the top. I know that was a little convoluted, but hopefully understandable. Lol. I personally feel like I'm lowering my left shoulder down, right on top of the ball. For those people who have always shifted their entire mass to the right, doing it the correct way is going to feel very strange and like you're moving the top of your body left in your backswing.

    • @ZachAllenGolf

      I believe you are spot on. Will definitely feel different if you are used to turning off the ball.

      @lukedanielborel3628 2 роки тому

      YES DEMENUS420 . THE MIRROR IMAGE OF OF A REVERSE C FINISH , IS A FORWARD C AT THE TOP OF THE BACKSWING . WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING IS THAT THE BODY FORMS AN ARC DURING THE BACKSWING WHERE THE RIGHT HIP IS OVER THE RIGHT FOOT AT THE TOP OF THE BACKSWING . AND THEN AT THE FINISH OF THE FOLLOW THRU , THE LEFT HIP IS OVER THE LEFT FOOT . IN THE IMPACT ZONE IT SHOULD FEELS LIKE HEAVING A MEDICINE BALL AT THE TARGET .

  • @jeffbehringer1262
    @jeffbehringer1262 2 роки тому +2

    This is so underrated. Don’t recall seeing this anywhere else. Not communicated like this at least. When I do it, it feels familiar like when I’m hitting it well. When my game falls apart I don’t get that feeling but don’t know why. In my mind I’m doing the same swing but don’t know what’s missing. This gives me a way to know. Great vid.

  • @dankisabeth1825
    @dankisabeth1825 Рік тому +2

  • @michaeldasilva6753
    @michaeldasilva6753 Місяць тому

    I think this is why my miss tends to be a pull hook. My chest and pelvis are too stacked when I turn. When I'm hitting well, my lower body is engaged much earlier in the transition, adding some tilt.
    Thanks Zack. Excellent video as usual.

    The greatest video, I'm not sure if it just clicked for me, but thanks.
    I've been playing forever. But visualizing the down swinging was always my problem. The tilting the lower spine over the front hip was eye opening foe me. I can thank you enough.

    bill mehlhorn explained how we turn back in the seventies. he told us that we should turn just the same way as we would if someone appeared behind us and we turned to look at them. the muscles down the left side of the right leg are activated to draw the leg back back and enable the chest to turn. one great drill to do is to grip the club with just your left hand and then look behind you, as though someone had just appeared behind you, and then press down with the left side of your head to return it to the address position. then swing back with your left arm and put your right hand on the club as you swing back. you will create get a big turn; whilst maintaining in a level left position at the top and your shoulder angle will be set at 45 degrees. it's curious, isn't it, that we had the pivot scene in "follow the sun" 70 years ago; and, subsequently, no one has ever really talked about using the legs as a pivot, over the past 70 years.

  • @VintageTubeTone
    @VintageTubeTone 2 роки тому +7

    Thank you so much for this video. I generally make the tilt properly on the backswing, but have had trouble shifting properly on the downswing. Your illustration of the shift in the tilt of the spine relative to the lead leg makes it so clear.

  • @tooch4978
    @tooch4978 Рік тому

    I tried this Tilt then turn instruction for the first time last evening at the driving range and it is "magic" . I hit the most consistent and crisp golf shots that I have ever hit in a long time. No more over the top shots pulled left of target and no more fat shots caused by swaying in backswing. Can't wait to get out on the course. Thanks

  • @rollorescue1582
    @rollorescue1582 2 роки тому +1

    While there is some truth to "not much new under the sun", I do think the swing continues to evolve. Sometimes that even means going back to older ways (like a left wrist flexion at the top of the swing seems to be coming back to some of the tour players). With all the data that has been coming from doppler radar trackers and camera trackers, there is so much more minutia we can understand about the swing...which is both good and bad.
    Plus, there continue to be new players to the game that get hooked enough to eventually look up a video of how to swing on line and fall down the rabbit hole of excellent teaching tips on YT (both good and bad for sure). So, keep posting those tips even if your repeating yourself, because one of the best ways to learn is to hear the same thing over and over and over. You might not fully understand it the first time, but each time you practice it and hear more from others, you start to understand...then, go back and watch the older ones that confused you and you'll be surprised that you actually now DO understand it. Russell Heritage is great and repeating the core tenets of the swing in videos in new ways (and sometime the exact same ways)...it kind of drills it in over time.
    Great job :)

    Wow! That is just amazing. I have struggled with this for so long, actually trying to stop my hips from moving laterally in my backswing because that is what I had been taught. This makes so much more sense and why my backswing is so much inside and I can’t stop coming over the top. I can get away with it, to a degree, with my woods but not my irons, which I am struggling with. I can’t wait to try this tomorrow and hopefully get my swing back. Thank you so much for explaining this so well.

    Best video on the turn I've ever seen. I have been taking the club to far inside and moving to far off the ball for 40 years. This is the root cause. Thank you so much for this video. Can't wait to go play and hit the range. Finally I will get consistently in my ball striking. Sometimes I hit it really well but a lot of times not as solid or consistent. I knew the core problem was my initial turn but didn't know how to fix it. Thank you kind Sir!!!

  • @pigslefats
    @pigslefats Рік тому +3

    Very good insight though I have a question. Would it not be better to set up with some left side bend at address to assist getting the correct spine tilt on backswing. Why set up with backward leaning spine tilt only to lose it in the initial lateral flexion. Would not a left side bend set up aid in preventing a too much inside takeaway?

    • @ZachAllenGolf
      @ZachAllenGolf  Рік тому

      Great observation, I definitely notice that players that have yes golf for many years have too trail side bend at address, and that cause the club to go inside quickly, also they have this issue in their short game.

    • @nicholasdemetriades9154
      @nicholasdemetriades9154 Рік тому

      You can definitely fix it relatively quickly. Use alignment sticks! Put one about an 1"-2" to right of your hip and work motion Zach describes in slow motion. Also make sure your right butt cheek slides along and deeper at the top of your swing. Conversely the same thing should occur with the left butt cheek into the follow through.You can practice this with alignment rods and/or in posture with your butt a little away from a wall. Again do this in slow motion. Difficult at first and will feel strange. Start out with easy swings until you can get the feels and gradually ramp up the speed. Physically more challenging moves so it helps to be in shape. Think of Tommy Fleetwood and his finish when practicing. Once you get the moves down you will be shocked how your pattern should be increased Club head speed, better centeredness of contact and better distance control. Film your swing too! Should get the proper feels in a few days and ramp up to full speed in about a week of practice. Initially you will hit some very fat shots but don't get discouraged. You will learn how to get the handle of the club moving up and left through impact. Power!
