This is the problem that stopped me from hitting consistently over decades. I am glad I finally realized that and have it corrected myself and verified with your video that I have done the right thing (the second scenario). I would blame tiger for making me always trying to make a “full shoulder turn” yet causing the dipping of my head forward towards the ball. LOL. Now I am running towards low single digit! Thank you very much for this video!
Ive tried so many things to stop moving my head at the top of the backswing. Bought a mirror and had my neighbors laugh at me. This simple feel of "head down chest turned up" from the "ball on the wall" drill has been miraculous. Thank you so much
I never knew I was doing this , now crisper shots , goes direction I am aiming at . thank you ,,,
I have finally found someone to explain this! Thanks so much.
Hitting behind the ball is my greatest challenge in golf.
Full shots, chips, & pitching.
I believe lack of good hand eye coordination is the main problem. I also believe this is the reason why some people are better at sports than others.
No amount of practice, lessons, or new equipment will fix this issue. No one seems to admit this reality of life.
We all can get better but not all can get really good.
I’ve literally been searching for so long into a video that explains what I do during my backswing. Thank you so much! My issue was more the second dipping example you showed, so will give that drill a go. Great content. You’ve got a sub bro 👊🏼
I tend to swing in to out, and hit before the ball as Well. I play off 10 but this year and last year I struggled to play to my handicap. Very frustrating. 😡. Love the videos.
I've been trying to figure this out for the past 2 months and this video was the best explanation of how to fix it. Can't wait to try on the course. Thank you!
I came here because my head lifts and chest early extends prior to impact. I prob do both of each flaw you demonstrated but likely more of #2. Makes sense if my head dips and moves forward in the backswing that it would do the opposite in the downswing. I’m hoping I finally figured it out.
I think you are the only UA-cam instructor that talks about extension on the back swing. This really helps as I rotate my hips and shoulders.
My biggest flaw is definitely is standing up at impact and flicking the club out. Working on it with the stack and tilt method. Thank you for all the great content. I definitely need some lessons!!! Keep up the great work.
I like it. Very few people ever discuss the slight bend in the right elbow that still exists at impact, they always just talk about the straight line release and triangle formed on follow through.
This tip has really improved my shots. Thanks very much. It feels so good.
Love the exercises to correct dipping. I'm 70 and new to golf. Dipping is my biggest issue so far!
Thanks for helping again! You're brilliant at this!
Thank you the last part ie head moving forward is defo me.
Thanks for explanation and drill 👍
great vid btw
Excellent explanation!!! What you are saying makes perfect sense to me. Thank you
You are awesome!,... addressing all my many flaws, does and don't the good the bad and the ugly. Thanks for the comparison and contrast
Good job Jon Kim. I like your instructional videos!
yo yo yo, love your channel and your personality, thank you for all your videos. I tend to pull the ball a lot, i change my swing costantly. thanks.
This is a good explanation. I tend to drop my left shoulder, and when it happens, it's a tough round of golf ⛳. Thx!!
Love your channel. Tend to roll my hands in the Takeaway. Results: disconnect my arms from body. Keep up good work.
Wow thanks for another great video, you give great advice that I haven’t thought about in my swing looking for more consistency I my swing gonna video my swing and see how it looks!
Thanks man great video. I struggle with this alot.
Jonathan, first off, your teaching method and delivery is fantastic, thank you for all the great content!... My major issue is hitting the ball fat pretty regularly. I’ve tried to self-diagnose and fix the issue and I’ve found myself going in circles, altering every aspect of my swing. Would love your help!!
So I didn't know why I was hitting so hard into the ground. My head was lowering and my bum coming forward so much that I restricted my downswing. Been struggling with this for years even though a 9 handicap. Had multiple lessons and play fairly well but I could feel this issue on every shot. This video got me excited to try your technique. After two hours hitting the best shots in years effortlessly down the range I can't praise or thank you enough. Fantastic explanation and drills. Honestly a huge well done!
OMG this is epic. I sought this video out after a shocking round today. I’ve been working on the tilt but realise I’ve been tilting too much. My buddies videoed my swing today and it’s a mirror image of what u explain. Thx I shall work on the drills.
Thank you for the tips I will be sure to use them
This is amazing. Exactly my issue here. My left shoulder goes downward immediately on takeaway. Interestingly my head goes back to proper position at impact.
Hi Johnathan. I have followed 4 ST instructors. I go back to you when things get a bit clouded. I’ve been a hooker of the ball most of my life, and have found ST to be the first method of swing that I can repeat without having to think about what I’m doing throughout the swing. However the hook is always in my mind and my stock swing still produces the odd severe hook. Thank you for your videos, and stay safe.

Excellent video once again, Jonathan!
My biggest swing flaw: At impact, my arms are too close to my body and I feel as though I'm sweeping the ball as opposed to really hitting the ball.
Love what I have been seeing with your instructions. Bout to be 56 & I turned to golf to help with my PTSD & I have several medical issues that might make it hard for me to be corrected. Both shoulders have had rotator cup surgery & I had to have surgery on my intestine. January 2021 I will have knee surgery. So I am a canvas that needs an artist to help me have a somewhat decent swing.
Thank you. This may help me to counter my forward - tilting, head - moving, shoulder - dipping tendencies in the backswing, - what I've been trying to get rid of for quite some time; and might help to transfer "the dip" to the transition/ downward movement (ground pressure), - if that's the better idea.
Anyway, I"ll
keep on watching your videos.
I’m new to this channel but your advice is great I struggle with consistency and I could really use your help But thanks man watched your videos it’s helped a lot but still struggling with other movements
Jonathan you are the most talented online teacher I have observed. You really understand the key elements to the swing and simplify them when demonstrating to your students. David Boucher
Great Instructions. Easy to understand.
Love your channel. Short and concise. Like others struggle with hips opening slightly at impact and have tried drills but still not getting there. One video I haven't seen yet is how to get more consistent face angle. Tried stronger grip in the left hand but still get positive or negative face angles. You would think it would one or the other... driving me crazy.
You remind me my son ; ) He is smart and know what to say just like you. I keep watching your wonderful golf tutorials video. Thanks!
My biggest problem is that i come on the inside through my takeaway. It has plagued me for years. I have tried numerous things including some lessons and nothing has ever been able to fix the problem as i cant get the feeling of parallel point one while im swinging. Been desperately needing some outside of the box thinking that could fix this problem once and for all. It is the only thing that holds me back from reaching my full potential. I love watching your videos as i feel your way of instruction is different to the generic/traditional ways of coaching and would love to see if we could work together to combat my swing fault. Congrats on 10k, heres to the next 10k! 🏌🎉
Great info, thanks
For the great lessons
Another great video Jonathan!! My biggest swing fault is early extension.
Excellent videos, Jonathan. I thinl my biggest flaw is fluidity and lack of compression of the ball. Thanks.
Hi Jonathan,
Thank you for your insightful comments in this area. I am trying to change to the “Stack and Tilt” swing, and the 2nd concept there is “Shoulder Down”, so that is where my dipping is coming from resulting in inconsistent contact. Thanks for the drills in this area. I will try to stand a little more upright going forward.

Great Channel. Appreciate all the content. I still have a tendency to come slightly across the ball swinging outside in and hit small pulls and over fades. Your video about keeping chest facing behind ball has helped but it isn't consistent yet. Will keep working on it. Thanks again
Senior golfer who suffers from inconsistency. Some shots are really good and others aren't. Would love to get a lesson to help with this issue. All the Best!
Great information thanks 👍🏻
Good afternoon
I’ve been playing for about 2 years and consistency is the issue, I can play 3 irons well and the fourth I fat, so my problem is getting my weight forward every time,
Great well explained easy to follow videos
Darran
My major concern with my swing is that I have too many concerns. Seriously spent 20 years swinging incorrectly and recently began trying to rebuild. What a project!
Great video. Always wanted to figure out how to fix this.
Great tips, guess I need to video my swing.
Video is literal gold
Great tip. Head moving forward is my flaw. Causes very inconsistent strikes on the face and difficult to always hit down on the ball. Online lesson would be great 👍
#1 Always top my shots and have a lot of head movement in my swing. Thanks for another great video dude.
Hi,
Thank you so much for commenting and watching my content! I want to thank you by giving you a free online Swing Analysis. My email is jkimmossgolf@gmail.com. Please send me an email so I can further explain the process.
Hope you had a great Christmas and happy new year!
That's definitely what I've been doing with my Irons this year, I will try the drills!
Same here. My divots have been very thin too. This is why.
Dropping down going back rather than maintaining posture and dropping down on way thru the ball
I def do this. Thanks
Great video! Quick question about the head against wall drill. I understand that this helps one feel the correct shoulder turn without dipping. But do you have any advice on how to incorporate this into a golf swing? I find I can do the movement without a club no problem. But once I introduce the club, the fault creeps back in. Thanks!
Another great tip as always , can or have you done one on shanking the ball as it sometimes creeps into my game with the pitching wedge.
Excellent fix drills
Thanks for the clear instruction.
My flaw is not getting my hips through impact. So the ball gets blocked to the right.
Thank you for your excellent videos and teaching instruction. My greatest swing flaw an over the top move followed by early extension. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Jonathan
Great tips.
Nice drills and explanation. I think the dip is a natural by-product for some golfers who stack and tilt with too much weight left on the lead foot.
That's where I think mine came from for sure!
Your teaching skills are great. My biggest flaw is my driver distance is almost same as my woods/long irons so I dont see the usefulness of driver. My gaping is big problem for long distance game.
hi jkm i wanted to know what would be a good swing thought when playing on the course .sometimes i get lost in my thoughts and miss hit . thanks for vids great job explaining things
Great job ,
This is me to a tee!
my downfall in my swing is tempo
sometimes it's slow and controlled back swing then its as if I unleash the downswing way to fast.
this leads to poor rotation as my body can't keep up with my hands
wrist control is lost and its generally a poor fat shot
You’re the man 💪🏿🔥👍
Hi Jonathan, I love your videos and you have helped me out tremendously. I would love a free swing analysis where my biggest swing flaw is that on the downswing my right foot comes up on my toes. I would love to hear your input! Keep up the amazing content brother.
Thanks for your amazing videos. What is the best grip to me because i have a big hand but short fingers. I use interlock, i generate more speed with my left hand only so i tend not to use my right hand any clue to fix it? Everyobe says the right hand is the one which generate speed..
Love the videos. My biggest flaw is the length of my backswing. It's WAY too long and I become disconnected.
Great video mate ☺️ my biggest problem is overswinging 😭
No 1 swing flaw for me is lack of rotation through impact. 90% of the time, I return to address at impact instead of being more open at impact.
I really enjoyed this video. Do have a drill to prevent dipping down on the downswing?
so helpful!
That was the exact lesson I needed to view. Question: The angle between my lead shoulder and the right shoulder on the backswing is 30 degrees.(I am a right handed player) I really can't seem to get more that that so is that a good place to be and if not maybe you have a lesson for us on that topic. Thank you very much for your insights as they are excellent and on point.
Great tips, I’m 6’2” it’s worse with my short irons, thanks
JKM your the BEST
Great video
hi Jon..do u have a video on dipping in the downswimg? cheers
Jonathan, let me know your thoughts on how I found it helpful to get proper bend and avoid the overbend. As a drill to get the proper bend I stand up straight and side bend over my left hip, parallel left of the target, while keeping my hips and shoulders centered. I then turn my shoulders, keep my head centered over the ball to a full backswing.
I was introduced to S&T years ago but it was not presented to me properly and I found myself doing a reverse pivot. So I kept my standard swing of weight shift from left foot to right foot and back to left foot at impact. The trouble I had was timing my weight shift which was never consistent.
I found you shortly after reading The Stack And Tilt Swing (the red book) authors Michael Bennett and Andy Plummer and I ate this book up. Your ability to communicate and produce productive results is the reason I have subscribed to your UA-cam channel.
I am 68 years old and a few years ago I was a 3.5 index but my lower back began to hurt and I am now a 7.8. I play in Chicago weather and play a few 18 holes each year, but I play 9 holes at my home course 5 to 6 times each week which is a 128 slope and par 36. I scored a few good rounds. My lowest was a 33 and missed an eagle putt being less than ball short, with one 34, a few 35's and 36's.
I used the S&T over the past few weeks and I more consistently felt compression at impact and I hear a wonderful sound that I seldom have heard at impact hitting ball first and divots were past the ball.
My focus will be on my short game and learn to get a more shallow divot and score better with my wedges.
During the winter season, I will not only work on more flexibility and strength, but I will also be using a new Tablet and the LiveView Pro Camera I purchased. I will create the templates for proper S&T positions while improving on the 3 golf fundamentals of:
1). Consistent divot past the ball with all but the driver.
2). Gain clubhead and ball speed.
3). Ability to shape my ball flight using the S&T drills to improve Impact with proper clubface and swing path.
I like your passion for this great sport and I will be practicing your swing drills.
I hope to be able to shoot my age for the next 15 to 20 years.
Hey Jonathan, I really enjoyed all your videos and I'm hoping if give lessons for hitting drivers...
I am trying to get back into golf but I struggle hitting down on the ball and even when I make good contact it can slice right or just be a push right. I need your swing analysis!
Be 75 yrs old and Im still in pretty good shape. My down swing transition is sn issue. Would love to be one of the three to get a on line lesson.
Very helpful video as I tend to do this. I think my problem is too much tilt. I wonder if this can lead to (my) too many fat shots.
I have lower back pain which has been diagnosed as Lumbar Facet Joint Syndrome. Do you have any thoughts on how to address this in my golf swing?
Congrats on the 10k subs! I tend to push my shots a lot more often than I would like.
I can't keep the arms and shoulders as a single unit on take-away during the actual swing, although I do seem to be able to do it on all practice swings.
I just recently found what I feel is my best swing. I’ve been playing much more and actually devoting time to being a better player. I still have trouble with iron shanks every once in awhile and my miss is usually a push. Was just wondering if there was a fix for this? Thank you!
Great videos, thanks for all the help!! My biggest flaw is to “cast” the club or release it too early. This implies to loose all the speed earlier in the downswing and at the moment of the impact my hands are in line with the head club and not ahead as they are supposed to be, getting a higher ball flight. The distances for the irons are pretty decent tho.
My hands are always faster than my body, and the always duffed the shot or the ball goes right and left, wonder how i can fix that.
I want my hands ahead at impact!
My head was dipping so low and I couldn’t understand why.. striking the ball way more consistent now
Another well done video. Sadly, I’m finally realizing that trying to implement these drills without someone observing and or having the ability to see myself with feedback is relatively pointless!! My thought is that my problems are tied to my takeaway/backswing ! If I don’t feel I’m in a good backswing position I’ll rush the downswing . Or if I have a hazard I’ll rush the entire swing unconsciously thinking that it will minimize the bad results! Obviously very much a feel player because i can go from shooting 39 on one nine and high forty’s on the other nine. Or like lately striking the ball great at range warm up then a completely horrible swing on first nine then shoot low round on back. Frustrating !!!
Really thankful for this video. Practicality in practice is a bit of an issue because at some point we still have to swing the club.
Can I use my practice whiffle balls in my garden and put my head against the wall and try and hit? Haha, at least the danger is reduced by using whiffle balls, I guess…
I tend to stand up on the takeaway, so I started trying to side bend better, but found out I was dipping and head moving down. Just can’t find a good middle ground, and it’s costing me greens hit as a 3 handicap. Put me in the drawing for a free video analysis. Thanks
I have a problem swaying. What if during the setup I move my left hip a little bit to the left. Would that help?
My biggest swing flaw. I guess it’s really just not really just confidence not knowing if I’m swinging correctly. My swing looks okay to me but I’m just sure. Would really appreciate if you could to analyze my swing. Big fan of you lessons. Thanks
I was wondering how you know what is too much tip?
I was fit a few years ago and they suggested my irons to be longer. Will that cause me to be forced to avoid dipping?
I’m 6’1 with long irons. I’m thinking i may need to go back to standard length.
How do I get red of tension/anxiety when faced with a scoring opportunity .
I tend to rush the downswing and hitting fat
Thank you
