I just happened to see this in my UA-cam feed right before heading out to the range and to play 18. Tried it out and was blown away; I've watched a lot of golf videos and never saw this explained so clearly. I'm 66 and suddenly was hitting shots like I did 20 years ago. Fantastic!
Watched just b4 playing, usually a mistake trying to think about a new move. Wow! Best round of the year, 2 over par. Hardly any vid has helped me. This one did. Thanks my man!
This is gold, thank you. I cannot move exactly like that, but I suspect adding even a small amount of this in my swing would solve a lot of my issues. My right shoulder tends to move out and lunge onto the ball too early, causing a flat shoulder plane and a STEEP downswing. Will try this out tomorrow! Thank you!
Wow mind blown. Im a single digit, and I know from the camera that I move closer to the ball and always thought it was a flaw, but never could fix it. Hard to generate power and accuracy by keeping the hips back through impact. TY
I’m a lefty and a 6 handicap- I’m 70 now and struggle with distance off the tee- old me was 245-250 now im 210-225-I believe you solved my problem with my left shoulder coming over the top- will practice your drills to improve my swing and regain my distance Thank you sir
See golf growing so much ,is because the good tips and lessons. Thanks for the good video lesson. I'm very happy to see a new generation learning this fun sport plus very social.
Craig your the best, you've taught me a long time ago, thank god,, about shoulder plane, amazingly how it made my ball striking pure, it's just an easy thought and feel for me, I feel Iike my trail shoulder/ arm is down hitting the ball, I love that wall drill, the first time I tryed that I couldn't believe how much I was off with side bends and tilts, this whole video is all great feels for me, definitely going to give those drills ago, my feels and reals are so off, when I watch my swing I'm blown away on what I'm actually doing. mind blowing.
Nice one Craig. And a oncourse Feel I have been using to achieve this is setting a high window/trajectory to hit through while you move laterally through the ball - with a straight to fade like feel) I like to channel Nicklaus, Watson and or the Elk! (Weight more towards heels helps me as well.) 2. Put yourself behind a tree with any iron that can just get over if struck well. If you are coordinated your body will create the swing that is required to achieve the desired ball flight. 🏌️♂️🔥
Xander's trail heel seems comes up faster, then his hips level out thru impact as he side bends & it looks like side bending more from lower (lumbar) spine.... Fred Couple's maintains his hip tilt plane right until is follow through (FC's trail foot is banked over longer) and FC side bend is more from the mid-spine. Thanks again for this video.!
It is GREAT downswing but if you have anterior-right knee issues be very careful not to use that right knee to initiate this move. Instead let your hips lead this action an let the right leg just come along for the ride. I love golf and miss my strong right knee action because it make this move possible. I have since modified this move by concentrating on clearing my hip as part of this fabulous down swing that Craig illustrates here. All I then add is a little more active right arm and hand to apply the hit. I'm almost back to my old distances and with a ProV1 golf ball I can make up the distance I get at the range.
Great tips and drill andbits good to know my movement towards the ball isnt the swing killer the Internet has led us to believe. Out of interest, what is that device with the pool noodle? Where can I get one of those thing? Cheers.
Good out of the box thinking. You should put that into production and sell it as a genuine training aid as the movement of the head is an overlooked part of the swing and there isnt much ive seen in the way of a training aid to help this. I'll just take 15% commision for the idea lol. Thanks for responding. 👍🏾@CraigHansonGolf
Craig..honestly think you have a better golf swing then the pros you show in this video! How are you initiating the downswing? With hands, shoulders or is it the lateral shift that brings the club down? Thanks.
Wow… how have I not seen this before… I have been obsessed with keeping butt line back.. but this makes sense. I will join the community and get an online lesson…

@@CraigHansonGolfI think I can play decently (actually 8.5hcp, but I’ve been as low as 4.7), but I can’t stand to see videos of mine… all your bad examples of the right shoulder turning high instead of low… ugly to see, even if I can manage to score, somehow. But I’ll give these drills a go, every day for the whole winter and see if at least I’ll be able to look better next spring! Thanks.
Do you want to keep the left shoulder blade down and protracted while you get it high?..and what do you think the key is for the head not to go backwards when you shift? Actually I think I realized the head out part you suggested keeps the head from going back..it appears it's hidden straightening. But still.. Question on the left shoulder stands.. Same even with the right.. Down and retracted?
Hi Rick, no i don’t think about keeping the left shoulder blade down and protracted as im lifting it .. personally that’s way to much thinking When your shifting forwards guy can feel like your head shifts a little forwards S well this will stop the head from going backwards
These drills are key. Would like to see you incorporate 60+yr champions tour players in these videos. Ideal is nice, especially if under 45 or so. Need some realistic swings for the over 55 folks. Thank You!

@@CraigHansonGolf Hi Craig, thanks. You are absolutely right. I will also check the drill in the video. I have to get better with my leg movement (interestingly I have strong legs but still this may help not so much, I guess)
Try just moving your lower body...my thought is laterally while keeping your head still...before you start down. The key for me is move your lower body first and let the club fall from the top...with gravity. You can always collect it at the bottom. Your arms will always be quicker than your lower body. I just try to feel my arms falling from the top without any effort.
@@stevelutz8504 Hi Steve, thanks for your comments. I see what you are saying. I have tried in the past with dropping the arms as well. It produces great flush shots but it is still new to me and requires more practice. Thanks again.
Question with the more forward push and rise of the lead shoulder does the ball position needs to move forward so that contact of club to the ball are flush ???

Would you not agree that rolling your trail foot inward promotes the lateral shift & posting up against your front leg forces the front shoulder up as you're demonstrating?
Rolling the trail foot in just really isn’t possible for 99.9% of the people the amount of balls you have to hit to change your footwork isn’t realistic. Changing the trail foot or trying to is like trying to change your signature…
Craig, I just recently came across your channel. Great information and I will incorporate the exercise's in my training routine. I struggle with many things, flexibility (Very difficult to straighten my left arm (on the back swing) limited shoulder turn. During practice and rounds of golf my lower back gets stiff. What I find most difficult is to get my hips moving forward it always seems like my hands and body arrive at impact at the same time instead of my body forward of the release. Did I see somewhere that you will be having a golf school in Orlando coming up? Looking forward to practicing the drills soon before the Chicago weather takes over!

The ‘lift’ part has always thrown me a bit; with the fact that the head may move forward it may interfere with the idea of a proper hip turn? Probably because I’m older, so lifting the lead shoulder means everything moves up; dropping the trail seems better? For me, I work on keeping my trail knee inside the line as the trail hip turns; which means the lead hip should feel like it’s dropping back and almost down. The drill I’m thinking of is like sitting/pushing back in an office chair with the lead leg. It seems important that the lead leg doesn’t fully straighten until in the follow through and end of turn; but here the golfer is turned, tilted and extended at impact. Sigh. More pieces to work on.

Hi Graig, i just found your channel, interesting point of view, i see what your saying but!! is some of this movement because of the camera Angle not being down the line . as the feet in these videos look not square, i also like a well respected you tube channel that users Gears to analyse many top pros and this is not what happens . and looking at this footage its looks like the camera is not square to the body line, i,m not a Knocker it just looks that way. unless all these players set up with the right foot back a couple of inches.
Hi Graig, thanks for getting back to me and clearing that up, down the line Xander Schauffele camera view is great and i can see this happening and john Rahn the same , Ben hogan camera view his stance looks open giving me that opinion, i understand the head is stable in the swing but not still, i will subscribe and may contact with question moving forward , love the two club drills in this video cheers
Questions... All the players that you have referenced in your video, have you met them or have you spoken to them? If you have met or spoken to them what have they said as to why they swing the club like that. If you have not met or spoken to them, why do you believe the reason is that they swing the club like that. I would like to know if it is a case of being more accurate, having more distance or is it just less wear and tear on the body? It's all good trying to replicate someone but there needs to be a reason why. I'm glad you made this video but I need to know if it's just your analysis or this is based on their word?
I don’t think you understood the video. I mentioned why they swing that way. The video goes for 13 minutes Writing it out would take 3 hours.. I would watch it again and listen to why they swing like that.. listen
@@CraigHansonGolf So you spoke to all the players you mentioned and they all told you why they swing like that ? I'm not trying to be a smartarse or belittle you in anyway. Just trying to understand if what you're telling us is just just your analysis or it's based on what they told you. If it's just your analysis then I guess it would mean less because you wouldn't know why they swing that way.
@@TheVegemiteGuy5941 So your opinion is that although many players and ball strikers swing this way, and have been coached that way (it isn’t exactly a mystery technique), and that although everyone says it creates more power and compression because the swing uses the whole body to move through the ball (it’s commonly known why, and is well explained in the video); that if Craig hasn’t personally had all of the players tell him why they each swing this common way, then it isn’t as useful? You ‘need’ to know if it’s based on their word? You win idiot of the week. Congratulations.
@@rickroll9086 Well forgive me for wanting some clarification on a technique. Just because someone analyses something doesn't make it right. I'll tell you one thing though resorting to name called definitely shows a lack of intellect and debating skills. I guess you won that one.Have a nice day.

If you do the opposite of what Craig says (using your upper body/turning level in the downswing (approximately 6:14 in the the video), eventually you will injure your lower spine. I’d like to strangle the pro who taught me the opposite of what Craig says, because I wound up having my spine fused.
The thing with this high left shoulder is making sure that by getting the left shoulder high, you're not doing it by getting the right shoulder low! A mistake that's taken me months to get out of the habit of.
Or movement towards the ball.. Early extending doesn’t mean movement towards the ball? .. It means you extended to early. All the players i showed had their heads where moving down and out towards the ball. That’s not early extending. I mean we have to get that right …
@CraigHansonGolf I agree with you, early extension has many components. I sent a 😉 wink and " " many instructors are completely against the "tush" line moving towards the ball, which is part of the "early extension" discussion. I have photos of Jack Nicklaus in his mid to later 50's moving his backside towards the ball. Great channel!!
I like Craig a lot. Disappointed to see the connection with Performance Golf though. They are just trying to monetize every aspect of the swing. Buy this 6 episode series on Lag, or putting, or flush contact etc etc. can't blame a guy for trying to make a living I guess. But most people need to hold on to their wallet.
I very proud to be excited to share my swing style that i created Deep to Shallow. Through Golf Performance i will now be able to do Golf Schools in the states. I will be able to reach millions of people instead of busting my arse in youtube and watching videos flop because the title isn’t ridiculous enough. Working with them and Eric Cogorno was one of the greatest experiences of my life.
Perfectly said .. how’s people these days isn’t unbelievable. Imagine how restless they are inside. Cant control themselves, their thoughts… wow thank god i educated myself and mind through reading 📖 90 seconds and has to click away to click on the next thing so he can click away .. how mentally weak
Yes of course. Haven’t you seen my video on how women swing better than men? Are you disappointed that i didnt show any women? Here is the video it has over 190,000 views: ua-cam.com/video/jqssyvOypBw/v-deo.htmlsi=rs5jY4k7cuR6geM6
Why do coaches always compare to the best tour players in the world? Absolutely useless to beginners/high handicappers Theyve been playing and getting coached since they were little children Theyve hit millions of balls and been practicing hours a day for 15-20 years
My videos aren’t for beginners do you see beginner anywhere in this title? My videos are really not high hand covers my videos are for dedicated Golfers. There isn’t a swing out there for crap golfers.. The closer you get to great technique the Betty play the further away you are the worst you play I mentioned in the video that I don’t expect Club players and players to get to these positions where the pros are obviously you didn’t listen to that part .. that’s the thing about these comments you have complete fools watching 10 seconds of the video leaving comments … go and watch videos for high handicappers or beginners.. ..
I just happened to see this in my UA-cam feed right before heading out to the range and to play 18. Tried it out and was blown away; I've watched a lot of golf videos and never saw this explained so clearly. I'm 66 and suddenly was hitting shots like I did 20 years ago. Fantastic!

@@CraigHansonGolf Hi Craig, thanks. You are absolutely right. I will also check the drill in the video. I have to get better with my leg movement (interestingly I have strong legs but still this may help not so much, I guess)
Try just moving your lower body...my thought is laterally while keeping your head still...before you start down. The key for me is move your lower body first and let the club fall from the top...with gravity. You can always collect it at the bottom. Your arms will always be quicker than your lower body. I just try to feel my arms falling from the top without any effort.
@@stevelutz8504 Hi Steve, thanks for your comments. I see what you are saying. I have tried in the past with dropping the arms as well. It produces great flush shots but it is still new to me and requires more practice. Thanks again.
Nice 👍🏻
Question with the more forward push and rise of the lead shoulder does the ball position needs to move forward so that contact of club to the ball are flush ???
no it doesn’t
Amazing insight... It's really helpful for me..have been struggling to control the right hip initiating down swing..
Thanks for sharing
This swing will be great, if I can just physically do it! I guess more stretching and limbering are in order.
Get stuck into it .. get a screening test online to see what you need to work on

your swing looks like freddy couple carbon copy very smooth
Thanks i think i might print out your comment and hang it on my wall 😊😊😊😊
Exactly!

Are you using your core to move your hips, using you hip to move the core, or is it a combination of both?
@@trembertt1 I don’t believe you need to think that much about it ..i never have. Just move your hips
Would you not agree that rolling your trail foot inward promotes the lateral shift & posting up against your front leg forces the front shoulder up as you're demonstrating?
Rolling the trail foot in just really isn’t possible for 99.9% of the people the amount of balls you have to hit to change your footwork isn’t realistic.
Changing the trail foot or trying to is like trying to change your signature…
Craig, I just recently came across your channel. Great information and I will incorporate the exercise's in my training routine. I struggle with many things, flexibility (Very difficult to straighten my left arm (on the back swing) limited shoulder turn. During practice and rounds of golf my lower back gets stiff. What I find most difficult is to get my hips moving forward it always seems like my hands and body arrive at impact at the same time instead of my body forward of the release.
Did I see somewhere that you will be having a golf school in Orlando coming up? Looking forward to practicing the drills soon before the Chicago weather takes over!
Yes we will be doing sone schools in mid -march in Orlando Florida.. 2 day schools

Roll your lead hand knuckles down and keep the trail hand flexed through impact. Over exaggerate that feeling.
The ‘lift’ part has always thrown me a bit; with the fact that the head may move forward it may interfere with the idea of a proper hip turn? Probably because I’m older, so lifting the lead shoulder means everything moves up; dropping the trail seems better? For me, I work on keeping my trail knee inside the line as the trail hip turns; which means the lead hip should feel like it’s dropping back and almost down. The drill I’m thinking of is like sitting/pushing back in an office chair with the lead leg. It seems important that the lead leg doesn’t fully straighten until in the follow through and end of turn; but here the golfer is turned, tilted and extended at impact. Sigh. More pieces to work on.
thanks for sharing
I tried this and I hit the ball on the heel/hosel. Shank…what am I doing wrong? Right arm closer to body?
That’s why i do online swing analysis training. Im currently working with hundreds and hundreds of golfers from all around the world. Improving all of them.
You shouldnt look for written guessing tips in the comments area. Who knows what your swing looks like or what the point of failure is. I have no idea how you swing.
You need to stop guessing.

Hi Graig, i just found your channel, interesting point of view, i see what your saying but!! is some of this movement because of the camera Angle not being down the line .
as the feet in these videos look not square, i also like a well respected you tube channel that users Gears to analyse many top pros and this is not what happens .
and looking at this footage its looks like the camera is not square to the body line, i,m not a Knocker it just looks that way. unless all these players set up with the right foot back a couple of inches.
I can show you 50 players like that and they camera makes absolutely no difference
Hi Graig, thanks for getting back to me and clearing that up, down the line Xander Schauffele camera view is great and i can see this happening and john Rahn the same , Ben hogan camera view his stance looks open giving me that opinion, i understand the head is stable in the swing but not still,
i will subscribe and may contact with question moving forward , love the two club drills in this video cheers
Questions... All the players that you have referenced in your video, have you met them or have you spoken to them? If you have met or spoken to them what have they said as to why they swing the club like that. If you have not met or spoken to them, why do you believe the reason is that they swing the club like that. I would like to know if it is a case of being more accurate, having more distance or is it just less wear and tear on the body? It's all good trying to replicate someone but there needs to be a reason why. I'm glad you made this video but I need to know if it's just your analysis or this is based on their word?
I don’t think you understood the video.
I mentioned why they swing that way.
The video goes for 13 minutes
Writing it out would take 3 hours..
I would watch it again and listen to why they swing like that.. listen
@@CraigHansonGolf So you spoke to all the players you mentioned and they all told you why they swing like that ? I'm not trying to be a smartarse or belittle you in anyway. Just trying to understand if what you're telling us is just just your analysis or it's based on what they told you. If it's just your analysis then I guess it would mean less because you wouldn't know why they swing that way.
@@TheVegemiteGuy5941 So your opinion is that although many players and ball strikers swing this way, and have been coached that way (it isn’t exactly a mystery technique), and that although everyone says it creates more power and compression because the swing uses the whole body to move through the ball (it’s commonly known why, and is well explained in the video); that if Craig hasn’t personally had all of the players tell him why they each swing this common way, then it isn’t as useful? You ‘need’ to know if it’s based on their word? You win idiot of the week. Congratulations.
@@rickroll9086 Well forgive me for wanting some clarification on a technique. Just because someone analyses something doesn't make it right. I'll tell you one thing though resorting to name called definitely shows a lack of intellect and debating skills. I guess you won that one.Have a nice day.

If you do the opposite of what Craig says (using your upper body/turning level in the downswing (approximately 6:14 in the the video), eventually you will injure your lower spine. I’d like to strangle the pro who taught me the opposite of what Craig says, because I wound up having my spine fused.
.. sorry to hear that
The thing with this high left shoulder is making sure that by getting the left shoulder high, you're not doing it by getting the right shoulder low! A mistake that's taken me months to get out of the habit of.
thanks for sharing
The Euros sure do love the sound of their voices with all meaningless words they use to explain something.
@@jacemiller2593 i’m from Australia muppet
A bit of "Early extension" 🤔 😉
Or movement towards the ball.. Early extending doesn’t mean movement towards the ball? .. It means you extended to early.
All the players i showed had their heads where moving down and out towards the ball.
That’s not early extending. I mean we have to get that right …
@CraigHansonGolf I agree with you, early extension has many components. I sent a 😉 wink and " " many instructors are completely against the "tush" line moving towards the ball, which is part of the "early extension" discussion. I have photos of Jack Nicklaus in his mid to later 50's moving his backside towards the ball. Great channel!!

Your videos are great and a I follow them all but as a South African can we just sort out something please it’s….. OOOS-TE-HOWZIN thank you
Sorry about that i work in Germany 23 years my english and pronunciation is at times so incorrect..
I like Craig a lot. Disappointed to see the connection with Performance Golf though. They are just trying to monetize every aspect of the swing. Buy this 6 episode series on Lag, or putting, or flush contact etc etc. can't blame a guy for trying to make a living I guess. But most people need to hold on to their wallet.
I very proud to be excited to share my swing style that i created Deep to Shallow.
Through Golf Performance i will now be able to do Golf Schools in the states.
I will be able to reach millions of people instead of busting my arse in youtube and watching videos flop because the title isn’t ridiculous enough.
Working with them and Eric Cogorno was one of the greatest experiences of my life.
@@CraigHansonGolf wish you luck.
@@CraigHansonGolf eating humble pie. I purchased the deep to shallow program and it is excellent!!
Playing a game that takes at least 4 hours, but a 13 minute video is too much for you to sit through. Good luck.
Perfectly said .. how’s people these days isn’t unbelievable. Imagine how restless they are inside. Cant control themselves, their thoughts… wow thank god i educated myself and mind through reading 📖
90 seconds and has to click away to click on the next thing so he can click away .. how mentally weak
Must have good flexibility and backs
Imagine a video for bad backs and bad flexibility..
There are no women good ball strikers?
Yes of course. Haven’t you seen my video on how women swing better than men?
Are you disappointed that i didnt show any women?

Why do coaches always compare to the best tour players in the world?
Absolutely useless to beginners/high handicappers
Theyve been playing and getting coached since they were little children
Theyve hit millions of balls and been practicing hours a day for 15-20 years
My videos aren’t for beginners do you see beginner anywhere in this title? My videos are really not high hand covers my videos are for dedicated Golfers.
There isn’t a swing out there for crap golfers..
The closer you get to great technique the Betty play the further away you are the worst you play
I mentioned in the video that I don’t expect Club players and players to get to these positions where the pros are obviously you didn’t listen to that part .. that’s the thing about these comments you have complete fools watching 10 seconds of the video leaving comments … go and watch videos for high handicappers or beginners.. ..
I don't think his videos are for beginners. There are plenty of them out there, just do a search "golf for beginners"
