This is the best explanation of how to correctly get the weight off the trail leg during the down swing. I've struggled with this for a long time and after using this drill I'm finally able to drive the ball straighter. Thanks.
So fricken great to hear Mike!!!! Glad you were able to find success with this!!!
Have learned to understand how the body should move with a good swing from you quite a bit. I search for golf videos that discuss extension of the upper body (especially how the arms and wrist work) and how the hips move and turn. I've always had decent leg movement and above average amateur's swing. I'm 66 and although I'm fairly limber I do have a year old aches and pains from back and other ailments. Yet I still love hitting the ball solid and far with a nice smooth limber swing. Starting taking lesson last year and my coach says I have what he calls an amateur/profession swing. I think he means it's good but not there yet. He says not to worry so much about having a young mans swing at my age, but I feel I can still get there. He has given me similar drills early on that you and a few other channels have pointed out using half swings and turning my hips. But I wasn't ready to forget my existing swing yet and start a new swing. After having a few physical issues and putting my lessons on hold I started searching for video that show me easy drills that my body can handle until I'm ready to start swinging a lot again. So I found your channel and work on the drills I can do in hopes of getting the feels when I start practing and playing a lot again. Thanks
Thanks for the comments Bert and welcome to the channel. Remember, there are efficient AND safe ways to swing the golf club. Finding the balance of width, rotation and leverage that matches YOU as a golfer is critical so that you can play this game for many years to come. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help along the way!
Thank you Chris for this tip. I have worked for 2.5 years to stop my hips from moving forward too much in the downswing, something i have done for 50 years. Yours is the best tip I have seen to cure this hip issue in the swing, at least for "My Golf DNA". The swing thought to glue the right glute to a wall right after the weight transition at the start of the downswing is helping me to get my hips under control. I noticed also when doing this that my iron was hitting the same spot every time (and the right spot), something I have always struggled with. I will probably do this drill every day as long as i play golf. I'm excited to see how this improves my ball striking.
Hi John, so fricken happy to hear you were able to get this to work for you. Makes my day as a golf instructor to know people are getting stuff worked out that has plagued them for so long. Wishing you all of the ball striking success you can handle. Keep me posted and hope you come back and join us for more in the future.
Thanks Chris for your reply, I will keep you posted. I subscribe to you and have a login to your website. - John Parrish
Hi Chris. I'm still working on this drill. I need to imagine by right butt glued to the wall starting at the top of the backswing in order to keep my hips in check so they don't move too much to the lead side in the d/s. This is contrary to your instruction a little, but seems to help me get my hips more where they need to be. The pauses and half-swings look good, but with the full swing i struggle with the d/s hip sway. My d/s hips tend to underrotate a bit (I think, hard to see on camera), but when my hips get stuck in the follow through it must be from under rotation, why I say that. Take care, wish you well!
I’m always okay with students finding subtle changes that can make the movements more refined for themselves. That’s what it’s all about! The hips need to be open 45ish degrees at impact and need to be in neutral joint alignment on the lead side. That’s the safest and most efficient place to be. How you get there and how you move through it, can be very different from one person to the next. I appreciate the update and keep going!!! Hope you continue to find more success.
Cannot wait to try this move! One quick question, how do you merge the "sit down" move with this move? Thanks!
I’m a newbie. I like what I see so far. Thanks
Welcome to the channel! Very happy to have you and glad you are liking the stuff. More to come.
Another great vid and breakdown Chris. In slomo it looks as if Rory is sitting down on a chair as he winds/unwinds. Granted, he's very limber and strong, but there's no reason anyone else can't do a decent hip turn and just let the arms swing around and enjoy the ride. This, to me, is how you strike the ball and you feel like you barely hit it as it blasts off the face. No reason it can't be a repeatable thing if you quit trying to hit it with your arms.
Exactly! I don’t advocate as much sit as you would see from Rory as you have to be able to move out of the sit move properly and most turn that into a catastrophe. Subtle amounts of downward movement are just fine. Thanks for the comment and I just finished up the new alignment video stuff today. Just need to edit it and will be releasing it next week or the week after.
Chris, trying this out in the office if this fixes my E.E. I owe you all the credit in the world.
You got this!! Take your time, visualize what you’re trying to get done, feel it, ramp up the speed and have fun in the process. Very important to enjoy what you’re doing out there. Makes it much easier to stay working on things. Good luck and keep me posted on how you do.
Great video Chris. I've always known I really need to clean up my lower body in the swing and this video gives me hope.
Thank you Shaun! Good luck with it and remember to keep things focused and bring the speed of the movements up as you get the hang of it.
@@MyGolfDNA thanks Chris!
Just to add credibility to this lesson, I would imagine you are aware that Jack worked on rolling onto the instep of his right foot religiously. Billy Andrade even works on pushing off the right foot through impact. Thanks for putting this out there for all to see. Cheers!
I like this drill
i've struggled with this and have seen my right knee pop out just before impact and i think then early extend and hit a s_ _ _ _. it ruined my game for years until i figured it out, thnx for the help.
So fricken frustrating. I battled with it for a couple of years when I lived in New Hampshire. I was a member at a club in Vermont called lake Morey CC, and there was a 107 -110yard hole #7 that I could be 6 under or even coming into and I’d 100% hit the dreaded “s” every time I walked onto the tee. It came to a point where I would just throw it from the tee in the men’s Sunday game. I wish I understood the mechanics of why it really happened back then. But then again…
i live in massachusetts and have golfed at lake morey, i think i remember that hole.we just had our league outing up at killington and it was really wet but we lucked out with the rain. i came in second.@@MyGolfDNA
I have a love hate relationship with with killington that’s for sure. Nice job on the 2nd place! You obviously can handle that place better than I. I’ll just stick to skiing it.
it's been a wet summer up here in new england but we lucked out with the rain for our golf but the course was rediculously wet and i was surprised it was open for golf, if you strayed off the cartpaths you'd be stuck for sure. i'm 73 yrs old and 12 hdcp.@@MyGolfDNA
Can it be that you mean inner foot when you say instep? Otherwise I don't understand what rolling to the instep means.
Rolling to the inner foot is exactly what I mean. You’ll here me say “roll the instep” the top line of the foot inwards as habit from the way I teach. Some times I fumble words and will say it as “roll to the instep”. Sorry for the confusion.
Show me the unicorns! Here’s the timestamps…
0:00 - watch the entire video please. It means a lot to me.
I've been studying the swing for a long time, and THIS is one of those things you do accidentally and say "now how the hell did i just do that one?".. And you work your ass off trying to figure it out... But can't.. Only to stumble on it every now and again. Turning the hip and femur while keeping the right cheek back is something ive never heard... It sounds like oil and water until you do it... Then you say "holy shnitwagons... THAT'S IT!"...Crap i can't thank you enough for helping me find that again. I even did some slow pitches with the lob wedge and the low point seems really nice and forward. I never would have found it myself as when you rotate the hip and femur.. At that speed the glute just wants to fly out. This really clears the confusion of how to both clear white keeping the butt back without smashing your tits into the ball. THANK YOU!!!
The holy shnitwaggons got me in the feels. Hahahah. Thanks for watching and so happy to hear this drill brought you some good stuff to work with. Sometimes we have to think outside the box a bit to create movement instead of just teaching people positions.
Great tip Chris. Crystal clear and simple. Thanks-Russ
Thanks Russ. Glad you liked it.
Good tip, Chris. Always keep hearing about clearing the left (lead) hip, but the thought of the right butt cheek to keep back is not talked about, so a good thought to keep in mind.
Thanks!
Thanks Duke! Sometime a little shift in the way we think or feel things can be the spark to a successful change.
Another fantastic video - looking at the trail side knee and how it works properly - Your analysis of Mcilroy and the way he does it is fascinating - the line you draw at address on his knee cap- then trail knee moves behind on the backswing, then through the line as you squat and shift weight to lead side and hips rotate to square- then knee moves behind the drawn line as you post up- as per the post up like a pro video - I am going to get a mirror draw a line on it where my trail knee sits at address (down the line) and then with no club work on the moves you showed in the video, years ago in the 'Perfecting lower body stability in the golf swing' - and check the right knee movement in relation to the line in the mirror - I feel this has to be perfect the way it moves in the swing - errors quickly creep in easily - I feel this is a good check drill to do - What do you think Chris? - Thanks for all your superb instruction- It's awesome and lovin it!!!
This is a great plan Euan! Having check points like this are really good to see how you’re progressing with the movements and once you start getting proficient, you can challenge yourself to take it to the range. Keep me posted on how you do and thanks for being such a great support of the channel.
@@MyGolfDNA WIll do Chris :) - I've been studying the 'perfecting lower body stability in the golf swing' video- A younger Chris Tyler!! It's great - and watching it over and over!! - it's something to master- getting there!!!! - Not as easy as it looks and it has to be perfect!!!- I'm so used to getting stuck on my trail side!!! It's a proper dynamic move when done properly and the club just flattens and falls into the slot....... It's great to be practising properly at last- well worth putting the time in - Just think your teaching is fantastic - it's so exciting to be working on your swing theory expertise - have a good weekend!!
That’s some vintage stuff there:) thank you very much. Hope you have a great weekend as well.
@@MyGolfDNA I love that vintage video as you really get a sense of flow from the start and can almost feel by 'watching' you 'shiiiiift' into the lead leg pushing all the kenetic energy down into the ground, whilst the hips are rotating to to support the movement...... and then back up again as you post up- very powerful - I am not there yet - and my legs are aching !!! As said will work on this until it becomes perfect and second nature - like yours is- anyway - I won't yabber on!!! Perhaps you could re-do it- I am sure it would go down a storm. It really ties in with Mcilroy down the line too - Your down the line movement if you look at your trail knee moves in exactly the same way!
It’s actually a really good idea to re shoot that video. I’ll work on it over the next couple of weeks and see how it comes out. Thanks again for being so kind and supportive.
