So glad I found this. I have been struggling for weeks and knew that I was getting my center mass behind the ball on my downswing. I just did not know how to fix it. After a while, doing the wrong thing becomes muscle memory and it wrecks your score card every time out. Thanks, Steve.
This isn't a just a drill this is an actual way to play golf. Took this to the course today and shot my best ever score. Currently playing to get my handicap. Needed to score 106. Scored 100 with. This just works.
Took this on the course today, playing 9 holes - 38 strokes! Playing with only 7 clubs, longest club 4 hybrid and my hcp is 20,4. Thanx for a very good tip!
Steve. What with the Gem, now this drill, I think you may have saved my golf game. Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year. Looking forward to more great tips from you next year. Thanks.
Thanks Steve what a brilliant tip, stop my small swaying problem, keeps me centered and inproved my timing. Added yards to all my clubs. Around 25/30 yrds with driver. This has revolutionised my game. Can't wait for next summer. Absolute top tip👍👍
Thanks Steve, I've been playing golf for 60 years and this one tip has added consistency and added distance to my game. I have always felt the dreaded lateral sway in my backswing. There were days when I had adequate timing to have some consistency but more days when I did not. Stiffening that right leg has made all the difference. THANK YOU!!
Great instruction! I've tried implementing stack and tilt but wasn't confident enough. Locking the right leg like you do seems to pre-set all of the backswing parts. Can't wait to try it when my low back allows me to swing again.
Sorry Steve I know this is an old video but I have only just subscribed and found your stuff but Man this really worked for me. Been trying to have weight forward but the old swaying habits would occur if I did not really concentrate on just that one thing, then of course everything else stopped flowing. By just doing this my weight is pinned and I can just flow the swing back and then use your other tip of right hand slap over the ball to really hit the ball clean. Man I was even hitting my five iron off the deck with a lovely high fade. Thanks for the tip mate, awesome!!
Steve, this "drill" looks to be more than a drill, not only that it looks easy to accomplish.I think, I'll be using this drill on the golf course. Thanks, I hit subscribe.
STEVE i just stumbled onto your page about 3 weeks ago, so happy I did.. Your NO GLAM , STRAIGHT TO IT approach is easy to remember and everything I've seen you doI took to the range.. Two Thumbs up!! BOTH BIG TOES TOO!!..
Thank you! I will try this without a club in my basement just to get the feel and take out to the range in about 2 months. ( It’s cold here in New Hampshire USA)
Thanks for the tip Steve I have been working on open stance and square shoulders and straight right leg and I can't believe how good I am striking the ball Thanks again Top Man
This is a also great drill to get you back on track if the wheels fall off while you're playing. You can hit confident solid shots from this position and possibly prevent a ruined round. Great baseline level-set to get you're head and confidence back in the game quickly
Playing well in our off season but wedges, mid irons an occasional weak spot. Took this to the hay field today to try your instruction and was hitting it long, high and straight with every club I picked up. Thanks, Happy New Year!
Wish i'd have heard of this tip years ago,tried it on the range this morning, feel a lot more confident on decent strikes and hope it continues. Please, let it work on the golf course.
Been using this on the course now for 12 months & have seen a big improvement, shot 8 under my handicap of 16 yesterday off the yellow tees when I combined it with the Eureka swing. The only thing I do slightly differently is that I preload my straight back leg by sitting on my back hip, a bit like Mike Austin's backswing. Really great tip Steve
Brilliant set up for the majority of golfers. I see lots of amateurs swaying too far behind the ball and can't return in time leading to a very inconsistent strike. I also try something similar whereby I pull my RIGHT foot back slightly at address and in the backswing feel my heel in right foot (for right handed golfers) going down into the ground and my right hip deep backwards👍
Have been trying for years to find a drill to get the hands in front of the blade. Went right down to the range, and for the first time felt how a solid compressed hit feels like. This drill helped me to feel how to rotate the hips. Cant say how much this meant to me! Tx kindly Steve Regards from Norway
Great drill! I tried it today. I have a tendency to start the ball left and draw it. With the left leg locked, I can hit it just right and draw it back to the target. After several swings with right leg locked, I can take a regular swing and hit it straight at my target. Very helpful!
Just what I was searching for My weakest part of my Golf, is trying to eliminate sway on my Back Swing. I just tried this out in my Garage setup and it worked great, back to hitting pure strikes and straight down the line.
So, we are addressing the ball with the optimal position/flex of our right side at the top of the swing and then firing1 The flex helps hip rotation, the L or Lead knee is the trigger and boom? And to help stay over the ball we look back at a dimple ... instead of an imaginary piece of grass under the ball?
I might be wrong but Jim Venetos teaches opposite. He talks about keeping your weight on left side. Steve is showing weight on right leg at the top, complete opposite of Venetos
I'm an 8 handicap but struggle to control the low point, maintain lag, and thus compress the ball. For some reason this drill got me to feel my weight forward at impact: what a difference! Thanks.
Thank you for this coaching. I have just tried it in my lounge and I am solid over the ball area so I can't wait to do this after lockdown. I am a senior relearning and in one month have come down form 120 to 98 so this is going to help a lot.
I don't know why....but for about 45 minutes after watching your videos I find myself trying to copy your accent :-). I really enjoy the various drills you've given us on your channel. Thank you!
Hi, your nail the tee into the ground for right hand is a fantastic thought when chipping. Imagine tee is under the ball flat on the ground and hit it into the ground softly with the bounce of the club,
Superb Steve. I am going to work on this as my inconsistencies come from swaying behind the ball and not always being able to catch up through the ball. Thank you for your excellent channel Sir 😊⛳👍
Tried it out today on course for 7 holes steve, worked beautifully for irons and driver, just not on uphill lines where left foot above right. Great iron strikes. Teed irons up on tees higher than normally do, was getting better strikes that way as well. How high do pros put tees in ground for iron ?
Love your instruction. Very interesting and such good quality videos. Looks great on large screen. I love the positivity from you and look forward to your videos that brightens things up during these depressing times. Thank you.
Could you possibly add what you're feeling in your right foot in so far as weight distribution? Shifting the weight to the inside of the foot, the heel, twisting out clockwise with balls of your foot to generate torque? Good vid, thank you.
Just did it this morning. Worked like a charm. After a couple swings, I could sense the same stable feeling with a little knee flex on my trail side. Really excellent drill. Would this be considered stack and tilt?
Hey Steve, first of all, I find your videos very entertaining. Lol.. informative as well. Man, I've watched thousands of UA-cam on golf swing. Learned there's a thousand ways to hit that lil bugger of a ball. Tried your eureka swing , hit some really best irons. As you say "Puure ". Can you do a drill to help me and others get " forward" whether that's the body, hands or head to get that shaft leaning . I can't get it. End up w nice shots but nothing like uurs. Thanks. I think you got something w the eureka swing lad.
Hi Steve, I'm new to your channel. This drill looks like something I can take straight to the course ( when they re-open). I look forward to giving it a go. Thank you.
Only part i can see that concerns me is your stance isnt alligned to the target your left foot further back, means your feet alignment is aiming way left. Then to adopt this change, the how far back decision on my left foot placement becomes critical to achieving a straight to the target ball flight. Ok you have solved the perfect strike component but maybe added another by, just how far open does my stance have to be. I'm definitely going to try it. Crisp clean contact who doesn't want that.
Howdy Steve i tried this drill round my local park and it worked a treat. Is it applicable to every club including driver. Like Wayne asks can it be used on the course? I dont see why not if it improves ball striking. But how would you use it in a 'normal' swing?? Regards Mac.
So funny, i actually started doing something similar to this only in my actual swing not a drill. It gives me the feel but its not working so great in my actual swing. Any tips on how this could translate into your actual swing? Thanks
Just found you..... little buttons pressed. Love this drill.... something I’m doing more and more now (also helps with my dodgy lower back... minimal movement (sway/tilt etc) and feel locked in and compact) 👌👏🏻💪👍
@@GolfQuestChannel better core strength, a little weight loss in recent times along with remaining compact in the swing……. My lower back is way less agitated nowadays. My HC has come down significantly in the last 48 months. 👍👍
Thanks Steve...I had the same question as Wayne. Aside from looking a little "different" in the setup and takeaway...what practical limitation does it put on a shot. If it is a bit of distance, I'll take that tradeoff all day long.
Matthew Wolfe’s swing is a result of his practice drills. They worked and he made it his swing. If this drill helps you then by all means make it your swing on the course. Why not? It’s similar to the Stack and Tilt method with keeping your weight on your left side
I'd hit sweet spot 2 or 3 times a round ! Now trying Brysons address i hit sweet a few times more. I wanna try this because i remember every pure strike I've ever hit more than a lucky 30' birdie putt.
Brilliant, I’ve always tended to sway off the ball on the way back and this will hopefully stop that. Should I just use it as a tip/drill until I’m comfortable going back to a flex in my right leg or just go with it all the time?
I think that is probably the best tip I’ve ever heard off in the last 32 years cheers
My mate tells me to stay off UA-cam (golf instruction). I didn’t, I watched this, everything changed. Pure ball striking!!! It actually bloody works.
Used this swing thought and your "take dead aim" tip yesterday. Had my best ball striking day in months. Thank you.
Your commentary is the absolute best. Enjoy your videos immensely. Keep up the good work Steve.
So glad I found this. I have been struggling for weeks and knew that I was getting my center mass behind the ball on my downswing. I just did not know how to fix it. After a while, doing the wrong thing becomes muscle memory and it wrecks your score card every time out. Thanks, Steve.
This is a 100 time more than justa drill, I hit my best iron shoots ever,cannot than you enough, Paul from Toronto Canada,
This isn't a just a drill this is an actual way to play golf. Took this to the course today and shot my best ever score. Currently playing to get my handicap. Needed to score 106. Scored 100 with. This just works.
I'm a curious observer - 2 years later are you still keeping this thought?
Took this on the course today, playing 9 holes - 38 strokes!
Playing with only 7 clubs, longest club 4 hybrid and my hcp is 20,4.
Thanx for a very good tip!
That's really solid. I know this comment is two years old but is this still working for you?
This looks so good for staying centered over ball and locks your position in place. Can’t wait to try at the range. Could be the holy grail…
When you tried it what did you find?
This work for everything even driver. Thanks steve.
Sure does. I just tried it today with all my clubs, including driver, and it's the best I've hit the ball in quite a while. Great drill/tip.
Thanks I will put it to the test later today
Steve. What with the Gem, now this drill, I think you may have saved my golf game. Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year. Looking forward to more great tips from you next year.

Absolutely the BEST teaching videos , by far!

Easily the best tip. 3 and 4 irons are back in my bag. Brilliant.
I tried this and it works. This combined with the split hand grip drill will fix a lot of issues.
Fantastic….well done 👍
Great instruction! I've tried implementing stack and tilt but wasn't confident enough. Locking the right leg like you do seems to pre-set all of the backswing parts. Can't wait to try it when my low back allows me to swing again.
I’ve played golf for over 30 years off a low handicap, This is THE BEST drill ever👌👌👌 thank you

This is an interesting approach that I will try to perfect in the morning.
Thanx for the lesson.
Yes Steve, it keeps on working! What about the driver, what adjustments should be made to hit up while keeping the same method?
Simple, effective and brilliant! Thanks, Steve!
Playing well in our off season but wedges, mid irons an occasional weak spot. Took this to the hay field today to try your instruction and was hitting it long, high and straight with every club I picked up. Thanks, Happy New Year!
At last!!! A drill that makes perfect sense and repeatable, now the golf courses in Melbourne have opened up again can't wait to try it out
Thank you
Excellent drill; I am looking at spine and hip control in the swing. This drill is going to assist in trapping/compressing the ball. Thank you:)
Wish i'd have heard of this tip years ago,tried it on the range this morning, feel a lot more confident on decent strikes and hope it continues. Please, let it work on the golf course.

I tried this on the course today. It worked really well. Will keep using it. Thanks for the tip.
Tried this at the range, simple tip with Gr8 results, solid ball strike with 1/2 the effort and the sound of the cherry striking the club is awesome👍
I saw José Maria Olazabal (Masters Winner) swinging his driver in the same fashion. Is a hip locker! It works!
Great way to work on keeping yourself centered for consistent ball contact.
Giving new meaning to knocking the dust off the ball!! Nice tip!!
Your channel is great. No BS. Just good tips, easily explained and easily implemented. Thanks!

Styled it out at 2:03 😂 but seriously, a top tip targeting exactly what I'm working on. Keep up the good work 👍
This works ! It is not S and T , S&T is all about left shoulder down then right , good way to end up in traction !
Superb Steve. I am going to work on this as my inconsistencies come from swaying behind the ball and not always being able to catch up through the ball. Thank you for your excellent channel Sir 😊⛳👍
Does this work with driver and fairway woods ? Very interesting approach and as always very well described. Thanks Mike
Good drill Steve.
Have a great golfing month Steve whilst we stay home ! Lots of vids would be appreciated too pal ! Take care
I eas swaying all over the place this is working amazing for me owe you a pint big man 🍻 cheers

Thanks Steve, Question for you are you slightly open to target with your feet?
LPGA teaching pro loves the channel
Can't wait to try this, hopefully it helps correct my horrible slice! Thank you..
Love love love this. So simple
Thanks Steve. What about woods etc?
There are elements of Mike Austin’s and Ben Hogan’s leg actions in this drill.
Just did it this morning. Worked like a charm. After a couple swings, I could sense the same stable feeling with a little knee flex on my trail side. Really excellent drill. Would this be considered stack and tilt?
Will this work for the Driver as well?
Does it work for driver also?
Right leg locked/back with Woods or just with Irons?

Stack and Tilt Swing.
I tried this locked right leg technique today and I had a good game and it certainly worked for me. Thanks 😀
Hi Steve. Tried this today. Unfortunately a few of the shots you can’t talk about🙁🙁
Love the look of this drill, can't wait to go hit some balls and stop my sway. Thanks Steve.
Is the set up for this drill with a closed or open stance? Cannot tell from the video. What are the results using open or closed????
Hi Steve, I'm new to your channel. This drill looks like something I can take straight to the course ( when they re-open). I look forward to giving it a go. Thank you.
Nice one Steve I will try that in 4 weeks 😂
Can’t wait to give this try tomorrow. Thx!

@@paulshepherd27 I need to improve my core strength. Glad to hear of your success. Nicely done!
So is this a drill to help you load the front side or is this how you think the iron swing should be.
Cannot wait to try this.
Is this just a drill? Can I use it on the course? Thx, makes sense to me.
Thanks Steve...I had the same question as Wayne. Aside from looking a little "different" in the setup and takeaway...what practical limitation does it put on a shot. If it is a bit of distance, I'll take that tradeoff all day long.
