    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.

    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?

    • @iggydoos

      @@harryshawgolf Yes tried the new technique at range n course. Longer distance but less control. Hopefully able to groove in after a few weeks.

    • @harryshawgolf
      @harryshawgolf  11 місяців тому +1

      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!

    Does your weight land on your front foot when you reach the top of your back swing ?

    • @harryshawgolf
      @harryshawgolf  11 місяців тому

      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.
