@@jmack619 thank you!
This concept finally improved my swing after 5 years of useless golf lessons. Big game changer. Suddenly I get nice ball / ground action and loads of compression. Wow! 🤝 Thank you Giles.
Glad i could help Ben!
EUREKA 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉👌👍🏻
@@for2lo amazing
I also played 5 years with no much emprove. 😂
Who are you. Why have I never seen your videos before. And how do you not have a million subscribers. This video made me realize exactly what I’ve been doing wrong in my swing. Best video ever
I’ve only been on UA-cam for 2 months so hopefully this is just the start of the journey! Thank you!
This might be the single greatest breakdown I've seen in my short time learning the game.
Means a lot to hear that! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I have to 2nd the praise. Because this made golf sooooooo much easier.
It still is single greatest breakdown in my long time of learning the game. Great stuff!
@@ricy802 thank you!!
@@mikeobrien1559 amazing Mike! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I think I have just had a ‘eureka’ moment. That’s the best and simplest explanation of how the golf swing should work I think I’ve ever seen. Many thanks, I’ll try it tomorrow 🤞
Thank you John! Hope it helps!
This instruction is literal golf gold. And this presentation hit it out of the park. It is the actual holy grail. It's everything that matters. And i sincerely think there must be some kind of pga conspiracy to keep us from knowing about it, because all other instruction is practically worthless unless you drop those hands straight down in the downswing. Ok, maybe not completely worthless, but what i mean is that 99 percent of the instruction that the golf community obsesses over is such an unbelivable waste of time at best, and at worst completely detrimental to developing this absolutely fundamental and simple skill. I learned this move much later in my amateur career than i would've liked (the source of my emphasis) but i can attest that you can do all kinds of other things "wrong", yknow all those things that the golf community obsesses over above all else, BUT as long as your main thought is to drop those hands all those other things just fall right in line for effortless contact all day long. Am i exaggerating even a little bit?? No.
Thank you! Glad you saw the value in this video!
OK so I’ve watched literally 100’s of hours of golf tuition and I’ve never heard anyone explain it in this way before but some of the things others have said now makes a lot more sense.
Instant sub from me, this makes so much more sense to me than anything I’ve seen before. Can’t wait to practice and get some of these feelings and use some of these drills
That’s fantastic Laurie! So glad I could help you and sounds like this really was a penny drop moment for you. Let me know how you get on with these drills!
Almost as though you just solved the great mystery of the golf swing. Simply brilliant explanation good sir! I've been training hard for a couple years now and have watched hundreds and hundreds of videos...this video is pure gold. Thank you!!
Thank you for that amazing comment! Means a lot to hear you enjoyed the content & it’s helping your game! Stay tuned for new videos coming soon!
I'm 77 years old and in my younger days played to a 2 handicap. Twenty years ago I was hit by a vehicle that ran a stop sign and T-boned me on my motorcycle, shattering my leg and rupturing discs in my neck and lower back. ER doc did an amazing job of putting my leg back together, but the back problems caused unbearable pain whenever I swung the golf club. To this day I haven't hit a golf ball in 20 years. I just started swinging the club again with a little discomfort but not the excruciating pain I experienced after the accident. Early on I patterned my swing after Fred Couples and have been trying to groove that swing in my living room, since we've been experiencing severe inclement weather. I saw this video and began to work through the exercises (without hitting a ball, obviously) and feel that my swing is improving because of it. Hopefully I will be able to take this out to the range in a couple of weeks and start grooving my swing. If my back holds up my goal is to shoot my age on a full-length 18-hole course. I'll let you know.
Sorry to hear about your accident but it’s amazing to hear your starting to swing a club again. I hope this helps you swing pain free and gets you playing again
Thanks for sharing your inspiring story, Mr Lillard
Yes, this will relieve pressure from your back as you learn to use your arms properly.
The best swing videos on youtube make me want to immediately hit the range. This gave me that feeling in spades. I'll be subscribing, thanks!
Love that William! Hope you have the best range session!
I get so inspired by instruction like this. He is an amazingly insightful guy whose ideas make sense.
Thank you!
like all things in golf. this little aha is one of those that is so obvious and we've all heard it and seen it a thousand times, then it takes this video for it to click. Thanks!!!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I've watched every top golf content creator explaining this on youtube and this is honestly, in my humble opinion, the best one - you'd pay a lot of money for this out on the course
Thank you Sam! It’s amazing to hear feedback like this. I’ll keep the content coming!
Wonderful explanation Giles. Possibly the best swing breakdown I’ve seen. You deserve a lot more subscribers. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time. 👍👏
Thank you Damian! It’s only just the start of the journey!
Giles, best instructional video I have seen. Nobody teaches this concept in central Europe. It matches though with the teaching of a South African who worked with the Tour Pros. Immediately subscribed. 👍
My South Africas Pro named this concept the „Bottle Machine“ which does an Up-down and a Turn-the-body movement. Great stuff.
@@ipsec6279 Amazing! I agree it’s such a crucial concept players need to know! Thank you for subscribing!
@@ipsec6279 great name!
I’ve taught thousands of golf lessons and you’ve explained this extremely well!
Thank you! Means a lot to hear that!
Hands down one of the best instructional videos on the internet, on this, or any other planet ❤
Thank you so much mate! Made my day hearing that 🙌🏻
Hands down is right. I throw the club down toward my trail foot with my HANDS! The ball gets in the way & the body turns automatically.
@@tonytribble2977 love the way you described the throwing motion and the ball getting in the way!
To be honest, i watched thousends of golfvideos to get rit of my early extension, over the top swing. There are very good tips to find, BUT you video was an eye opener !! Thx u so much ! !
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. If you struggle with early extension then check out my early extension video!
Definitely the best explanation of the downswing I’ve seen. It worked for me in one session after months of struggling. Thank you!
Thank you! Glad I could help Eric!
Giles, I've struggled with consistency in my strike my entire game. This lesson has completely transformed my swing. This breaks the swing down into simple parts which prevents me overcomplicating things with unnecessary movements. Thank you so much for your explanation.
Great to hear this video helped you!
Solid gold, thank you Gill. I have watch thousands of videos, this is top 5
Wow, thank you William! Hope I can keep delivering the gold for you 💪🏻
I need to watch this every week for the next year
Would love it if you did!
This young folk deserves more subscriptions. Thanks for the enlightening explanations.
Thank you! Great to hear you enjoyed the video
This concept is as good as it gets. For a long time I have tried many different swing ideas with varying results but none felt easy or comfortable. I either gained distance but lost accuracy or visa versa but something always felt manufactured and good contact was random. This concept gives the feeling of swinging easy gaining accuracy and distance just by letting it happen. In addition my balance in the follow through is unbelievable. Thanks Giles keep up the good work
Amazing to see you benefit so much from this concept!
This video has transformed my swing.I am hitting more solid than I have in years.Thank you.
Amazing Kathi! Great to hear this video helped!
Brilliant description of blending rotation and the role of the arms! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Another top video giles! This guy has completely changed my game and given me so much more confidence!
Thank you Marvin! It’s been great fun helping you with your game and seeing your development!
One of the best golf videos I’ve seen. Like and subscribed mate.
Thank you TDR! Appreciate your support!
I think I have seen thousands of instructional videos but never anything this good, the swing just feels so simple.
That means a lot to hear! Thank you! If you have any video requests let me know 👍🏻
This is excellent golf knowledge. This is fundamental golf that 99% amatures don't understand and 80% golf instructors don't either but key to the golf swing. Excellent material.
Thank you! If only we all knew it!
This is the best video I have seen to help my game, very instructive and concise with great pointers to help alleviate my over the top swing.
Thank you David! Glad you enjoyed the video & I hope you enjoy more to come!
This is probably the single most important thing I've learned. It helped me stop trying to move my hands and arms to try to hitthe ball.Thank you!
Amazing! Glad I could help
I've watched a lot of golf instructional videos and this is one of the best ones I've seen in quite awhile. Looks like some good stuff that I can apply to correct some of my common swing struggles.
Glad it helped! Hope it’s a penny drop moment for your swing!
Just the lesson I needed. It worked beautifully on the course. Thank you mate.
Great to hear! Glad I could help!
This is absolutely great - thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it John!
Excellent teaching and analysis of the mystery of the golfswing!
Thank you! Great to hear you enjoyed the video!
I’m 72,,,,your explanation of the swing is spot ,,when you said the right arm straight on the downswing,,,I don’t do that,,,but NOW I DO,,,thanks,,from Central Florida.
Amazing Joseph! Glad I could help you with your game and great to hear you enjoyed the video!
This was incredible! You’ve got a bright coaching future Giles!
Thanks Harry! Fingers crossed it keeps growing!
Love it, well done best I've seen for a long time, really helped me.
Fantastic Derek! Glad I could help 👍🏻
I had this concept wrong for YEARS!!! Great video, every am golfer should watch this. Great job explaining it too!
Thank you Jim! I hope this is a penny drop moment for you 🙌🏻
This is the best description of how the swing works. I’ve been working on just this, let the club weight take my arms down as I turn through and it’s been so pure and effortless. Again, this video explains this so well. 👍🏼
That’s amazing! It’s such a crucial concept! Glad I could help!
Thank you for breaking down each move and explaining in great detail how it should feel and why. Great job!
Glad it helped!
Very helpful lesson! Happy to subscribe! 👍🇨🇦
Thank you Anthony! Hope you enjoy the content!
Best video I've seen on the downswing. Those drills are great too. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That's the best explanation of the golf swing I've heard. That feel is so easier than my swing, not tried it with ball yet just doing drill , getting faster and easier. Thank you 👍👍
Amazing to hear it’s simplified the swing for you! Hope you enjoy more of my content to come!
I am all hands and arms in my golf swing and struggle to rotate through impact and release the club properly. I came across this channel accidentally and must say this content is golden, subscribe button well and truly smashed! Explains perfectly what I am struggling with and includes fantastic drills to work on. Thank you Giles 👍🏻
Thank you for subscribing! Great to hear you’re enjoying the content!
Finally a video that explains how this motion works. I have a tendency to squeeze my shoulders back to allow the club to come in between me and the ball on the way down. I shall try this out at the range soon. Thank you for explaining it so perfectly!
Amazing to hear this video helped! It can be a confusing move but hopefully this has cleared it up for you!
Great stuff Giles. A fantastic clip. Expertly explained.
Thank you Paul! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙌🏻
Coming back to this video to comment. This has changed my golf swing and connection immensely, I have now been using this knowledge and drill from when I first watched this 3 weeks ago and have been practicing often. I've been better than ever,.. consistently and that's the key for me. It's sticking
Amazing to hear it’s helping your game!
Thank you! Also, I would love to hear your thoughts on the driver downswing, is it the same concept as this video? Would love a video on the driver backswing and downswing mechanics
@@Drewsky. it’s the same basic concepts but will add it to the list
Amazingly well explained and simplified instruction on UA-cam! You’ve got a new subscriber. I’m really looking forward to seeing more videos
Welcome aboard! Can’t wait to help you more with your game!
first time i've ever heard this and i've watched a lot of golf tip videos. Dont pay attention to most just like the entertainment, but this is something I actually want to try. Thanks v much!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good video, well delivered. Thanks!
Thank you!
This is legit. Perhaps the best simplification and explanation of the golf swing here. 🎉
What I personally feel is that I’m throwing the club behind me as far as possible. Obviously that makes zero sense but it works for me. It gets my club on plane since I’m rotating the body too. But it just lets you rip it as hard as you want because the plane is stabilized.
I think by trying to use my right hand more and throw behind me it keeps my wrist angles even more. Again. Counterintuitive but it works.
Yes. Would like to see that type of drill, or any vid links for that feeling.
I love this because everyone feels the love differently. The key is developing your own feels (like you’ve done) and this allows you to transfer this to the course more easily!
@@michaelmueller6092 the split hands drill will give you some similar feels 👍🏻
@@michaelmueller6092 this drill is probably the best. As far as further explanation I recommend old UA-cam videos by Monte Scheinblum. Also listen to Mike Malaska talk about his conversations with Jack Nicklaus.
Other than that. Go to the range and practice this drill. Get a good feel for it. For me I took it one step further to feel like I was trying to throw the club away from the target (like right leg side, not behind). It starts the momentum down and hands in front of chest, and your turn gets the club back to square
@@Dougmolls I’ll check out those other videos. My swing thought is that throwing sensation from the top of the backswing too
Just found you Giles and your video instructions are fantastic! I am so inconsistent with my ball striking these drills will help so much I’ve had many lessons over the years but no one has explained the swing mechanics like you have thank you 👍
Thank you David! It’s great to hear my coaching is connecting & helping you with your game!
Great content pal. Keep up the great work. Also really enjoy how you present. Very engaging
Thank you Stephen! Great to hear you’re enjoying the content!
I recall a clinic once where Tom Watson said....here's the secret to the golf swing.
He then lifted his arms straight up, like a bird's wings, and just let his arms drop, with gravity, right back to his sides.
Your video ..Excellent for a number of reasons, especially
... Arms drop
... DONT tuck elbow in
... Arms NOT responsible for arms going out. That's ROTATION.
... Deconstructing the movements a bit into their component parts.
VERY Well done.
You've got a new subscriber
Yes so there will always be side bend but if we overly force it by adding too much elbow tuck then suddenly we start to move in to a position where we need excessive right bend to shallow the club
This is super duper helpful Giles!
Amazing great to hear it helps!
A long time ago I was watching an instructional set from Ernie Els and when he got to the top of his swing he said to "drop your hands". Can't say I've mastered that move but I'm always working on it. You've gone a step further to elaborate the downswing thanks for putting this up!
Love Ernie’s swing and of course his rhythm! Glad I helped clear up this topic and I hope it helps your game!
This has to be the best ever golf video on UA-cam! Thanks so much Giles, has made massive difference to my game.
Thank you! Great to hear this has helped
I’m really impressed w your explanation and delivery of information. Keep it up!
Thank you! Great to hear you’re enjoying the lesson!
Thank you for the tips. You make the swing look so easy! I’ve seen Rory’s drill before, but you integrate the principle very well here. Excellent!
Just trying to make these topics clearer to everyone! Glad I could help!
@gilesgillgolf I am a senior who picked up the game of golf within the past year. I have worked with two pga pros and manage to practice at least three times a week. This video is the single most helpful instruction I’ve received to date.
I’ve struggled with swinging over the top. With your help I’ve found a way to drop my hands and straighten my right arm. I’ve found more length with an easier swing.
Great stuff. Thank you. Keep them coming.
Fantastic! Glad this has helped & good luck on your golfing journey!
Oh my, just gave it a shot on the sim and uhhhh, yeah, why hasn’t anyone said this to me before? Really noticeable difference on distance and impact feel, subscribed. 👍
That is amazing Trevor! Better late than never 😂 2023 will be a great golfing year for you!
Fantastic tutorials, I find the drills excellent and exceptionally helpful.
Thank you!
I am really enjoying your instruction. Very good.
Thank you!
Thank you Giles for some excellent instruction. You are no doubt destined for great success! Much mahalo and aloha!
Thank you Christopher! Appreciate your support & hope the videos help your game!
i'm 6:30 in and i already know this is gold
Hope you enjoyed the video!
It only took me three years to be ready to hear this. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very well done! I’ve been a pretty good golfer for 40+ years…. This video is simple & concise… a great reminder for me that I can fall into lazy habits… excellent food for thought! Much appreciated! ☮️
Great to hear you enjoyed the video Jeff!
Wow, great, explained like i never heard before. Now subscribed.
Thank you and welcome aboard John! Hope more of my videos help you with your game!
This is such a good video. This is exactly what I am currently working on and have been confused with some of the moves by other people when in reality, it is these 2 moves. Then it is the case of matching these up with your shift in weight. Makes a consistent swing and what seems at times like effortless power. ⛳️
Exactly that Mark! Sounds like this has cleared it up for you. Glad I could help!
best golf instruction on youtube
Wow thank you so much!
I enjoyed todays video, so, i have liked and subscribed 🍻
Amazing! Thank you so much!
Excellent and clear explanation. I am a new subscriber as a result!
Thank you! Great to have you on board!
I remember Justin Rose using that downward drill having NO idea what he was trying to accomplish. Thanks for the explanation - well done!
Thank you! Glad I could help
Love the content, subscribed
Thank you JP!
This is a really excellent video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Angelo! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I really like your teaching, you make me think about my own sving, so much more important than just copying a position. New follower, cheers ⛳
Thank you Erik! Glad I could help. Let me know if you have any video requests so I can help you with your game 👍🏻
This is a great explanation of the two different motions and how isolating the two are a worthwhile drill. Thanks!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great job, thank you for posting! Trying to fix my crap swing this winter.....this def helps!
Thank you mate! Glad it helped 👍🏻
Thanks for great work. keep it up
Thanks, will do!
THANK YOU! Never heard the swing explained in this manner before where the hands and arms only move vertically. Have spent the last 35 years swinging them towards the ball and target or trying to move them into certain positions during the swing. This SIMPLE concept is a game changer. It's actually made my swing almost effortless. Can't thank you enough. Your explanations and delivery are perfect and simple to understand.
Amazing Paul! Great to hear my videos have helped!
Thanks Giles. Finally it's clear to me what the hands do and what the body. Now it starts to make sense 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Amazing mate! So glad I could help. Is there any other concepts you need clearing up in the swing??
Thanks Giles. Do you have a video on greenside bunker play?
@@sameerjoshi8283 I don’t but once the weather improves here in the U.K. and the bunkers get in better condition then I’ll be filming/posting plenty of videos on them 👍🏻
This is excellent instruction!!!!!
Thank you!
Great video, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed the video Michael!
Can't wait to work on these movements in the garage, great video brother thank you
No problem Mark! Glad I could help and that you enjoyed the video!
Excellent explanation thank you very much
Glad it was helpful
Yet another great video!
Thank you!
My ball-striking consistency just improved dramatically. I have always brought my hands straight to the ball to try to increase lag and shaft lean but it came down to timing. This has just made my swing more effortless and, as I said, more consistent. Great video!
That’s why I love making videos! Glad I could help you improve your game! More to come!
@@Gilesgillgolf 4:56
@@Dang1946 the split hands drill is great
Same here. Exactly the same issues. Hands moved directly to ball. Nearly impossible to time it correctly.
This tip is great. Its helping me pretty much immediately hit more consistently. Just gotta keep practicing the drill and get used to it. Thanks!
No problem! Hope this ingrains nicely into your swing
Great Video. Well explained and straight to the point
Thank you!
This is a great video, cheers dude
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is gold!
Thank you!
Cracking content Giles keep up the good work buddy 👌
Thank you Paul! Means a lot to hear that 👍🏻
golden advice and well explained. ties the down to the turn. all that is needed is prictice !
Glad you enjoyed the practice! Let me know how your practice goes!
Fantastic explanation! Subscribed
Thank you Matt!
Great stuff! This is exactly what I've been working on recently as my hands have a tendency to get too far out and away from my body on the backswing and downswing. My new swing thought has been, "laces, pocket, turn" to get the hands where they need to be.
I love that swing thought! Sounds like you’re working on exactly the right thing! It’s going to be a great golfing year for you!
Great teaching!
Thank you!
Makes a lot of sense .Thanks from Australia
Thank you Chantelle! Glad I could help 🙌🏻
Great job G. Good vid.
Thank you! Great to hear you enjoyed the video!
Wow - Welcome aboard young man! So much knowledge of the swing at such an early age! Yeah I will Subscribe just to see where this blog you have started ends! Good luck!
Thank you Alan! I love learning about this game and hopefully I can share my knowledge with everyone!
