What a difference!! I can’t believe how much this up and round with my left shoulder has made.. in 30 years I have never seen this instruction..
Thanks Jim, appreciate it.
Best tuition on UA-cam. Deserves to have tripled subscribers. Thanks.
Thank you very much, appreciate that.
Excellent. Reminds me of a day when I was hitting the ball really badly on the range when I overheard the pro teaching someone. He said "the number one essential in all full golf shots is that the left shoulder goes down and behind the ball at the top of the backswing'". He fixed me too!
Thanks Peter, glad it helped you out. Cheers
This is huge. I’ve been struggling with a high left shoulder for years, and it’s a killer - thanks for the confirmation.
Thank you, appreciate it.
Excellent visuals and explanations. Thank you !
Theses Hit It Solid videos do a good job of dissecting a correct swing into its elements for better understanding. Again the side-by-side correct and incorrect comparisons are very helpful.
Thanks John, appreciate it.
Guilty of all of these flaws! 70 degree shoulder turn in the backswing, standing up in the backswing, chin on left shoulder through the downswing, stuck in the middle at impact and chicken-winged left elbow in the follow-through!
Playing off 9 now and have been as low as 6! How was my rhetorical question to you before? Pretty good hand-eye coordination, athletic and excellent putter! To score in the low 80's or mid to high 70's required considerable concentration and meant a major and painful headache after the game! And all could potentially become undone on one or two hole during the round! Do well on courses I know and which are open and straight in front of one! Hate links and windy conditions! I remember shooting 72 one time and I had a debilitating migraine after the round! The game has not been fun, but I love it!
I say all of the above to say this, I am aware and have prior to lockdown begun to put many of your methods into practice, but via constant expert one on one coaching! Moving from 14 to 9 in just over a year!
However, stumbling upon your videos have tied together the pieces of the puzzle the coach has been teaching! I would do what was said but I just couldn't comprehend why! So I have kept my mouth shut and contemplated my exit from the game!
The manner in which you explain the concepts is special indeed! Because it is only now, after coming upon your site 6 or 7 weeks ago that everything ties together, with flaws laid bare and corrections not only made available but achievable through simple drills! After lockdown, I think I'm going low! Believe that!
I have been playing for many, many, many years and have thought of giving up the game on a number of occasions but you have re-inspired me! Was just about to take up snooker and accept playing off of a headache free 15 hcp! But few of my mates would play with me, off that!
I just think, if only I understood this earlier! There are many a talented guru out there doing massive views! Some more talented that others but all with something to offer! But I wish there were a way for greater numbers of those seeking answers to find your channel! Golf could become enjoyable! Because when I go to my numerous expert lessons, I see the pain and the despair!
I shall certainly be doing what I can to spread the word according to 'Troy'! Well at least where to find it!
My most humble apologies for the length and convoluted manner of my "comment"! Hopefully, you have a social media person who answers these comments, so it wouldn't have had to be such a pain to read through! Suffice to say I think you are BRILLIANT!
Thanks, glad to hearing it's working for you. Much appreciate. Cheers
this one single move was my magic bullet, fixed so many issues. i am no longer over the top and i am compressing the ball so much better. no more wipey fades. thank you!
That’s great, glad it helped. Cheers
this left and right shoulder position movement. has been great for me. i havent even tried to apply it yet but instantly recognize that my main problem these last 20 years in the shoulder positioning . even when havign lessons this was never explained to me. i cant wait to completely transform my swing. i havent played for a good while until recently. and didnt feel comfortable or as flexible as i was. but i know that once the correct shoulder positions are applied i will be bombing the ball further than i ever have.
Thanks, glad it helped you out. Appreciate your support.
Very good video with new ideas! Thanks!!
Thank you very much Norbert, appreciate it!
Absolutely fantastic advice, I’ve never hit the ball so well since adopting this technique…
Thanks Paul, appreciate it
Awesome vid!
Thanks Robbie, appreciate it
Been following you for a couple of months, I've been keeping my weight on the inside as per your video and getting the grip of the club over the ball.
I must say what a transformation in my swing.
Thanks going to keep this motion as ball shrinking and shape massive improvement.
You are great.
John
That's awesome to hear John, I'm really pleased for you. Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid ❤❤❤
This videos made me realise something I've been doing wrong for 10 years. Separating the left shoulder and chin during the downswing is essential for solid contact and good follow through. Thank you so much!
Thank you Kef, really appreciate it. Cheers
The way you demonstrate the swing is exceptional compared to many other teaching professionals. Thank you.
Thank you William, appreciate it
I was struggling with my driver and iron consistency either leaving the face open at impact or pull hooking the ball trying to close the face. I was driving my left shoulder up just as you said that armatures were doing. Tried to flatten my shoulder on the downswing an amazing, things straightened out. No more open club face at impact. I am now trying not to close the face so hard at impact. I have gotten into a bad habit trying so hard to close the face. But all in all things are better. Still not hitting up on the driver but it too is better. Anywhere from -1 to 0.0. Would like to get to +1 or +2. Your video was spot on and confirmed my problem.
Thanks Wallace, glad it helped. Cheers
Great tks. I realise it today and is helping mr
Excellent, great to hear it helped
Thank you, I need to work on this one especially with my driver. I was thinking I was hitting up on it too much, but actually I am loosing that left shoulder up and back before impact. I been working on more shoulder turn thru the ball, not sure I really get how to execute that shoulder head separation, correctly Thanks again
Thank you, appreciate it
This is brilliant 👍🏼 thanks for the tips
Thanks AJ, appreciate it
Will work on it. Thanx
Thanks Joe, cheers
Thank you I was suspicious of a inincorrect shoulder position at the top and you confirmed it. Love the background jungle sounds too :)
Thank you, appreciate it
very good info...thanks!
Thanks Dave, much appreciated. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, Troy
Thank u, sounds good, I’m going to give it a go
You're welcome :)
Troy thanks for the magic tip.
Thanks Tushar, appreciate it. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, Troy
This has given me such a huge consistency in my strikes! Thank you!
Thanks Stephen, appreciate it. Happy to help you out. Cheers
Cheers for this, I have been researching "golf swing right hand downswing" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Penamillorn Peerless Prevalence - (do a search on google ) ? It is an awesome one off product for discovering how to learn an effective golf swing method minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy got great results with it.
Very very good! Thank you!
Thank you appreciate it.
When drilling into this using the Hudl app comparing my swing to Chez R , his shoulder definitely went lower in backswing then moved more horizontal to the ground to just passed the shoulder line at address where my shoulder was on a more vertical, also in transition his shoulders rotation seemed very inactive while his torso shifted forward. Great points here looking forward to working on a slower and lower shoulder transition
Thanks Jason, all the best with it. Cheers
Hi Troy
Just come across your site.
I have been struggling with ball striking
So I tried this left shoulder and omg what a amazing difference it has made ball striking is now very good
But struggling with the driver
Looking forward to more from you.
Thanks
Take care.
Thanks Phillip, glad it helped you out. Cheers
Brilliant, great video, helped me a lot. Thanks.
Thanks Colin, glad it helped you out. Cheers
Helped a Lot. Cheers from Germany
Thanks Banana, appreciate it.
Key to practice what most of us amateurs do not understand. Thanks Troy. Barney
Thanks Barney, appreciate it.
Such a great explanation
Thank you very much, appreciate it.
Flat shoulder turn is a killer this video is 💯 accurate 💪🏼thanks
Thanks Gus, appreciate it!
Great video. I’ll have to give these things a try. Thanks!
Thanks Daryl, let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, Troy
It’s more than just "trying" which you won’t accomplish after a "few try’s" and you’ll convince yourself it doesn’t work.There s probably a 100% chance you won’t get it correct until you’ve practiced it over an extended period and are committed to making a change. It’s making an permanent adjustment in your swing.
stanmans I agree, but the first time you do an exercise it’s still called your first try. I’ve been playing golf for over 50 years. I have a reasonable appreciation for the complexity of the game.
I just recorded my swing and sure enough, my shoulders are flat at the top of the back swing, and I do straighten up just a bit. This video cemented my concern. Anxious to try this at the range!!
Awesome, let me know how it goes
Just excellent - thanks
Thanks Kevin, appreciate it.
That is great stuff! Since shoulders coil more to the top of downswing vs hips , is it a good visual for impact that left shoulder separates from chin and ends up parallel to the target while hips move as well to an open position to the target? Thank you so much!
Thanks Claudio, yes that's a good visual to have. Cheers
Great video and demonstration Troy on the Left Shoulder movement in the golf swing! I was using this movement today and I felt the kind of shots that were generated using it were phenomenal! I will definitely be using this method in the future! Good Job as Always Troy!
Thanks John, glad it helped
@@Hittingitsolid You have to get some recent videos up on your website Troy! Hope all is well with your personal instruction and look forward to seeing new episodes on your channel! All The Best!!!
@@johnschwartz1536 Thanks John, I'll try, just very difficult whilst I'm building my other online business at present. Cheers.
Hello wow thanks for teaching us what is the proper position to this game
Thanks Sissy, much appreciated.
Keeping the left shoulder down, through, and around through impact finally has enabled me to hit shots with a consistently solid strike WHILE NOT HURTING MY BACK.
I found a constant swing, I shot high 70's consistently but my back suffered and still does at a result of swinging so poorly for so long. But this shoulder down tip, for me, was really an eye opener. This tip coupled with the tips on how to not get "stuck behind" have completely transformed my swing. Much more controlled now and stationary. In a good way. I was baseball-like.
That's great to hear James, keep it going mate. Cheers
Tks i understand why it’ was difficult to compresse the balle for me ..👍
Thank you, appreciate it.
Me Too: Thanks Troy.
Excellent
Thanks Saif, appreciate it
excellent
Thanks Allan, appreciate it
Needed to hear this. What if I have a lot of stiffness in my left shoulder? It seems to be an area where I'm quite tense....hopefully, that's a result of the bad move I'm making and will get better as I improve my move through the ball.
Thanks Ben, appreciate it. Do you have an injury or similar in your left shoulder that restricts your golf swing in some way?

Good tips 😊
Thanks Tan, appreciate it.
I only think down and towards the target as far as it will go in the downswing. Momentum will forces it up and around.
Yes, good point
Hello Troy do you do any swing analysis at all please? Apart from you tube I don’t use any other form of social media. Would love some feedback thankyou. Currently playing of 16.
Think my shoulder getting slightly high????
Hi Garry, thanks for your comment. It's not a service I currently have. However, if you send me your swing from down the line and face on, I'll have a quick look for you. Send to troy@hittingitsolid.com. Cheers
What a nice shot.
Thank you very much
Many thanks, I have been researching "how do you start the golf downswing video" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Penamillorn Peerless Prevalence - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a good exclusive product for discovering how to learn an effective golf swing method without the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my neighbour got cool success with it.
Thanks a lot for great tips on this channel! You are a soo good instructor and coach!!
Will you please do a video, or show me the link if you already have done it, on the rotation of the upper left arm in the golf swing. That would be very appreciated!
Kind regards,
Tomas
Thanks Tomas, I haven't got one on that topic as yet. But, I'll add it to my list to make. Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid Great!
No worries
Hi Troy, great video, thank you. to what extent would you tilt your leading left shoulder with the Driver? I mean is tilting the same degree like let say 9 iron?Thanks.
Thank you, you might have a bit more tilt with the driver on the downswing because you are hitting up on the golf ball because it's on a tee. Where as the irons you want more of a slightly descending blow. Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid Hi Troy, sorry I forget I meant to say in backswing..whether you feel that you need to tilt your left shoulder like with irons...Thanks
@@ufukgoksu9851 For me I feel like it's much the same for both clubs. Cheers
Hi I enjoy your videos - left hip correlates with left shoulder like Milo Lines has said too.
Thanks Pat, appreciate it. Cheers
Will this help stop my push slice? As my face is now square at impact but I was thinking this may still be causing my inconsistent shots still? Thanks
Hi Alistair, yes it should help you out with that. Cheers
I have found that focusing on the left shoulder moving behind me on the downswing rather than up gives me a much better and consistent strike.
Yes Nick, that's a great feel to have as well. Cheers, Troy
@@Hittingitsolid Left shoulder on backswing works great. Do you think of the Right shoulder on your downswing? Thanks.
@@warhol200 For me I think about the right shoulder replacing where the left shoulder was. For me, that's a great feel. Cheers
I’m a low handicapped that hits blocks out of fear of going left. In turn I restrict the left shoulder going down from the chin and rotating left. I started separating the left shoulder from my chin and it opens up my swing and cures my blocks.
Nice 👍🏻
terrific lesson, as a thought where has the idea of turning the shoulders 'flat' come from ??? if one looks at pics or vids of the greatest golfers of the last 100 years they just about all turn their shoulders in the 'steeper' fashion you demonstrate ! cheers
Thank you. I think sports like baseball may have influenced it, because in baseball the batters turn a lot flatter because the ball gets hit at eye level. Also, many golfers in an effort to get a full rotation tend to pull back and stand taller in their stance and lose their posture they created at address very quickly. Cheers
Fight me, very good video thanks
Cheers, Troy
Try (when you show the difference between a pro and amateur on the rotation shoulder with your club in your hands)to putt the club face in the direction of impact and not the reverse...
Thanks
It's really hard to do this especially with the longer sticks.
When I try to drop my left shoulder in the turn I feel like my spine angle is being lost.
Thanks for your comment. Takes a bit of practice and is best to do with a lot of slow smaller shots to begin with. Slowly build you way up to longer shots for best results. Cheers
on my down swing my left shoulder likes to dip a lot, do u know way i could fix that?
Hi Jimmy, the left shoulder getting a bit lower in the downswing is a good thing. I'd say if it's excessive it's likely you are bringing the club down steep and your right elbow (right-hander) is a lot higher than your left. Try the feel of your right elbow coming down a bit lower than the left one. Cheers
I struggle with the downswing move despite telling my brain to do this meaning my lead is above trail shoulder at P6. Any feels to facilitate this please?
Hi, thanks for your comment. Just to clarify, your lead "arm" is above your trail shoulder at P6? Looks like there's a word missing. Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid my lead shoulder tends to go up from start of DS meaning it's above trail shoulder at P6. Pros I've seen the lead shoulder doesn't rise above trail shoulder until after P6. Any feels you can recommend as lead shoulder down and towards target from.top doesn't seem to help me?
@@rohitpratap4174 Thanks, a great feel is to get into the squat position at P6 and that gets the shoulders more level before moving through the impact zone. It's only a split second thing, but that feeling may help you out. Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid thanks ! Will try that out
@@rohitpratap4174 No worries at all. Cheers
dipping my left shoulder low in the backswing greatly complicates the path if the club at impact as well as the club at release, and follow through behind my back is almost impossible. I've found that keeping my shoulder higher, but reaching under my chin with left arm in the backswing, leaded to much more consistent hits. Maybe too stiff at age 56?
Hi Dale, if that's working for you that's awesome. I wouldn't make any changes then. If you're getting the results then stick to it. Cheers
Your method works. I would try the left shoulder lower but make sure you are moving the lower body first before you finish the back swing. Get a squat move when the club shaft is parallel to the ground. Another words keep the buttocks from "moving off the wall" Do this in slow motion first and use A mirror or film from down the line. Practice hitting shots from that half way down position! You will feel tons of compression and really being able to use the ground. Yes it is more difficult but will lead to many additional yards to your iron shots! I am 58 so I know what you're talking about regarding flexibility. Your swing will be shorter but when you practice this move for about a week using video you can add 15-20 yards.Good luck. Don't give up! Stretch a lot especially the hips and shoulders.
Do you do video lessons? Swing analysis?
Hi HR, I don't have that service at present. But, if you send your swing from both down the line and face on to troy@hittingitsolid.com I'll take a quick look for you. Cheers, Troy
This is my problem. Can I sent u a video of my swing
I can take a quick look for you Tom, if you can email it to me.
This is an old video so you probably won’t see this but I notice when I do this I either hit amazing shots or I shank it. Any advice? Thanks!
Hi Johnny, thanks for your comment. Shanks happen usually when you either come down too steep in the downswing or your pelvis gets closer to the ball in the downswing causing you to raise the handle too much exposes the hosel to the ball. I'd work on staying more in posture in the downswing. I've got a video on early extension that will help here ua-cam.com/video/SF5TjLl7hv8/v-deo.html. I'm also release one this Wednesday that talks about the hips in the downswing which will help you out to eliminate shanking. I know the shanks is not good, but a professional once told me that a shank is actually close to a really good golf shot. Keep at it and you'll get there. Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid Thanks for the response! I definitely get my hips going towards the ball on the downswing. Been struggling with that for years. I’m going to watch this video! Have a good day.
@@johnnysanchez4996 Cheers Johnny, no worries at all. Be sure to watch the hip drill video this Wednesday and leave me a comment there if you have any questions. Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid Yes sir! I’ll be waiting for it. Hey do you give online lessons?
@@johnnysanchez4996 Not as yet, but I will be setting up that service this year sometime. Is that something you're interested in getting? Cheers
Was told by a female college golfer that they teach them to hold your left sholder as long as possible. This true?
Hi Walter, are you talking about holding the left shoulder still in the backswing and downswing or one or the other? Cheers
Do you feel like your shoulders /upper arms are moving the club rather than the hands?
Yes, that's exactly right. The hands shouldn't be doing a lot.
@@Hittingitsolid cheers bud
@@kingshearer2 You're welcome!

That’s all great if you’re still flexible but what about the remainder of us who aren’t so flexible ?
We need help also. We don’t all have coaches and hit thousands of balls weekly.
With your backswing you can achieve the same amount of turn by raising your lead heal off the ground during the movement. Some of the top tour professionals are actually doing this move now enabling a better body rotation. Francesco Molinari is a great example. Check out his golf swing and you'll see what I mean. Appreciate your comment. Thanks

Johnny Miller no1 tip! Left shoulder at address get the LS back there during downswing if he doesn’t want to go left he makes LS past where it was at at address
Spot on James, the way to do it. Cheers, Troy
Troy until I learned this everything failed. I truly do believe this is the number 1 reason amatures stinks off the fairways.
I only look at the ball and worry about the lead shoulder 0 other thoughts. Went from 105 to 90 with 0 putting and short game practice
Thank you, appreciate it.
To much b s get on with it
