    Excellent stuff, when i practise swinging this in the back yard the WHOOSH is much louder than the way I was doing it, which has to be a good sign for when I try it out on the range tomoz. And the shoulder line at impact being almost parallel with the shaft angle is a great swing thought! Thanks Alex!

    Alex, this is another great lesson for me. It isolates on a part of the wall drill that I commented on yesterday that had helped me so much. And ironically just this morning before viewing I was working on this at the driving range. I could tell that the shorter clubs were so much easier to execute. I was working on transitioning to the longer clubs. Can’t wait to use the new visual/feel aid of the rod across my chest. As I left the practice area today I reflected that this was my best session ever as far as percentage of well struck shots. Very few not solid. Thank you again!

    @davefiano4172 3 роки тому +3

    Perfect video for me right now. “Shoulder line same as shaft line”. I like it 🤟🏼
    I FINALLY got this working and thought I had it...ground-up downswing and all. The first move down feels like I’m pulling the shoulders down staying over my left knee THEN turning the hips left feeling like the right shoulder “hits” the ball. It’s soooo hard for us amateurs to not rush or overdo that first move but this will help!

    Keeping right shoulder down at proper tilt angle with left hip out of the way is ket to compressing the ball with forward shaft lean. helps to get over the ball for solid strikes. Great video.

  • @leonardpugh7086
    @leonardpugh7086 3 роки тому +9

    This is the same movement we used as a kid trying to "skip" rocks at the lake. If you don't get the trailing shoulder down, elbow in, the rock won't skip.

    • @ricejohnp
      @ricejohnp 2 роки тому

      That's right. Like a submarine style pitcher. Ben Hogan promoted that idea but in his book, the graphic was "side arm" which I think confuses people. Sidearm throwing is too horizontal of a shoulder plane.

    • @riggz5496
      @riggz5496 8 місяців тому

      Funny I’m really good at skipping rocks and throwing side arm/under arm but in the golf swing I like to throw my shoulder outside in at the golf ball. Will work with this in mind thanks

  • @garyburger6750
    @garyburger6750 2 роки тому

    This is the secret to hitting the ball solidly. I envision going to the top of my backswing with my pelvis sticking out (poor posture) and then sticking rear end out and squatting (good posture) as I transition to downswing. This move also gives you plenty of room to clear your hands. Great video.

Well, I ran across this young man’s video, and OMG, things just clicked. What a great instructor. This young man has literally become my golf swing salvation, lol. Not only am I executing the swing better, I’m now swinging the club properly. It feels amazing. 😀

  • @sevenoranges
    @sevenoranges 2 роки тому

    Thanks for this video Alex. I was searching for exactly this subject. I see the motion in the video, but I think in my case the right shoulder comes around my sternum without my left shoulder moving out of the way at the same speed. Strange. Almost like I am rounding my shoulders at impact.

  • @ricejohnp
    @ricejohnp 2 роки тому

    This is a hugely important concept and well explained. The idea of "hip turn" leads too many players to spin their hips which pitches the right shoulder out. Clearing the left side is not a spinning motion but an opening motion.

    This is great! I just started doing this recently through trial and error, but did not have a clear mental picture of what i was actually doing right, more of a feeling. I just got into more of this position through backswing and contact because it felt better and performed well! Now i know i have been on the right track and will incorporate your drills into my irons as well. I was only hitting my 56 and 60 more like this, but not as exaggerated. Can’t wait to get into it with the longer irons. Thanks mate, great video!

  • @rickstevens9628
    @rickstevens9628 3 роки тому

    So you feel this relationship of "shoulder tilt" and "shaft line" are a pretty consistent feel across all the clubs e.g. wedge to driver?. I understand that the shoulders are certainly flattening more as you move from the wedge to the driver, so it's more of a consistent feel of that relationship is my question. I do like the idea.

    I tried this at the range the other day, was struggling to hit my 5 iron further than 160 yards, once I started to feel like I was getting my shoulder down I was making much more solid contact and added 30 yards on as I believe it helped me stay in posture more and I benefitted from the forward shaft lean. Should it feel like my right hand is applying pressure onto the back of the club when swinging down? thanks for the video by the way
