Excellent advise for seniors Harry on how to gain more distance! Since I am a senior golfer, I have been thinking about ground force movement with the legs to gain more distance, so this video was very apropos for me. I like your suggestion downswing being comprised of a little squat, the body going inward from the target and the arms going outward or away from the target. I swing on an in to out basis anyway, so this move should work for me. I will try working on it and let you know how well it goes! Well Done Harry! Thanks for your help!!
Hi John, great to hear from you, sounds like the golfs going well? Pleased you found the squat motion then the body and arms moving in opposite directions useful!
I'm 63 but I have been training to get that separation and it is really helping. That said I enjoyed trying this method and feel it would be easy to incorporate if I was having and off day and was overly tight. I would give up a little speed due to the fact that pushing off the rear foot inherently leaves pressure back there a bit longer as opposed to de-weighting right foot in the rear leg moving toward the lead leg. That said, on a tight day this method would give me better contact. The more I learn about how the body can perform a golf swing the better.
Yes absolutely, totally agree, before focusing on positions it's important to get the body moving in a motion to help you swing the club with ease rather than fighting against moves performed.
Hi Garry, was great chatting with you over Zoom the other day, really excited to see the progress you're going to make from the personalised online coaching. Haha, pleased to read you enjoyed the video, and yes possibly this could be... we'll see!
Hi Robert, it's great to read you've seen a lot of value from this. I'm pretty sure you've sent me a few emails already which i have replied to if you're struggling to see my replies you can follow me using the whatsapp button on my link tree page!
Very interesting, it’s great to hear that other coaches are bringing in this for using the ground forces. Have you managed to give this technique a try yet at the driving range?
Yes this is what will happen at first, you’ll get used to this love and produce more swing speed and therefore ball speed for more distance but the accuracy will fall. When your ready to get the accuracy back we can hop on a zoom call to discuss your swing and come up with a plan for more consistency before the season starts - link to book a call is in the description!
Hi, thanks for commenting, pleased you've enjoyed the video, and yes you can build this into your swing as this is something you should/can do for every club in the bag.
Hi Joseph, no so at the top of the swing, we want to feel the weight being transferred onto the back foot (the trail foot) and then being maintained as we make this squatting motion down, and then as we push back up, we can then get the weight transferring onto the lead side (the front foot). But this will all happen naturally in your swing if you follow these instructions.
If there are specific points in the video which you believe i was 'too wordy' please could you fire them over and i'd be more than happy to explain this.

Great explanation while showing where I have flaws. Can’t wait to use it on the golf course. Thanks
Thank you, pleased this has helped you further improve, keep me posted with how your golf goes!

Great chatting with you today! Off course I had to watch this video….. this I’m sure will be our major focus ! Look forward to working with you-Garry

Really enjoying your teaching, with what I feel is excellent advice
Thank you, really pleased you're enjoying the content!
This is exactly what I do, iĺ try this drill if it works for me ill come and see you because no other pro has been able to fix this for me.

Great explanation of ground force
Thanks Mike, much appreciated, have you managed to give this a try yet?
@@harryshawgolf I just did a 45min session following your drills and I’m really happy with where my swing is going. Thanks again for the content.
@@harryshawgolf BTW… I’m 58yrs old
No problem at all Mike, pleased your swing feels better from this drill!

Thanks Harry seen all your reply thank you, have sent a message to have a chat when your free.
Looking forward to our lesson this week!
Nice tip to squat first on downswing. Leadbetter gave that tip also to James Robinson’s channel recently
Very interesting, it’s great to hear that other coaches are bringing in this for using the ground forces. Have you managed to give this technique a try yet at the driving range?
@@harryshawgolf Yes tried the new technique at range n course. Longer distance but less control. Hopefully able to groove in after a few weeks.

Love your teaching Harry.....does the squat also work for other clubs....So can we build that move into our regular swing? Thanks Peter
Hi, thanks for commenting, pleased you've enjoyed the video, and yes you can build this into your swing as this is something you should/can do for every club in the bag.
Awesome
Thank you, how's your golf going?
Does your weight land on your front foot when you reach the top of your back swing ?
Hi Joseph, no so at the top of the swing, we want to feel the weight being transferred onto the back foot (the trail foot) and then being maintained as we make this squatting motion down, and then as we push back up, we can then get the weight transferring onto the lead side (the front foot).

you are way to wordy!
