Interesting that the video never really matched the screen shot I clicked on.
Welcome to the internet
same
clickbait
Excellent explanation Russell! This is super helpful. It's the same swing action, just a bigger longer swing in a different setup.
I like how you said that the swings are basically the same, it is the ball position forward that causes the tilt. Be careful suggesting that a player setup with tilt because it is damaging too many swings. Chest and pelvis are nearly vertical and “stacked” until Left Arm Parallel in the downswing when the tilt and separation occurs.
Great explanation. I can hit my irons pretty far and straight but my driver is a disaster. The angles never felt right to me. Looking forward to giving this a try.
I've watch a lot of videos of the driver swing, and this one explains this concept the best
You've explained it very well and demonstrated it perfectly bit trying to do it is another thing it's bloody hard ffs
thank you Russell has a 5 hcp golfer my driver is not working I am compensating within my swing now with your video I know why many thanks
So at what point in the video is the image discussed?
Good advice Russell. Thanks.
Here’s an observation about swing bio-mechanics: The feet control hip rotation and in downswing limit it to about 45° open UNLESS the back heel is lifted off the ground. Try swinging a club and keeping both feet on the ground and you’ll feel the hips stop as hands drop - referred to as “hitting the wall”.
That “hitting the wall” thing slows down the hands just as club mass swings down around them enough to be whipped around them by momentum and gravity. It also causes the lead arm to start separating from chest like the lever arm of a catapult which pulls the lagging, spinning-around-the-hands club head mass in the direction the lead arm mass flies off. The reason side bend in the downswing results in straighter shots is that it affects the direction the lead arm mass drags the club changing it’s FORCE VECTOR from circular and tangent to the swing arc around body and hands to linear down the target line which makes the club face stay square to the target line longer.
If you swing a club (slowly) keeping your back heel on the ground and with side bend you will feel the lead hip shift laterally and rotate to 45° open and feel the momentum of the lead arm mass cause it to fly off and drag the club down the target line as the shoulder turn open past the “stuck” hips. The trail arm gets pulled straight by that lead arm separation and trail arm gets pulled straight in finish because of the way side bending caused the axis of rotation of the club head mass to change from lead to trail shoulder because of the way keeping the back heel down restricts rotation of hips and shoulders before impact with the ball
Most recreational golfers lift their back heel off the ground too soon and too quickly as a reflexive reaction to feeling that resistance in the front leg during the downswing. As a result the hips and shoulders keep turning at the same rate or even faster which whips hands around the body, too far forward of the ball by the time the club head swings around hands and impacts the ball. Pulling hands around body in a circle that way results in an open face at impact resulting in slice spin on the ball, either straight slice or pull-slice depending on timing and balance. The force of the club whipping left is what causes the trail elbow of a beginner to bend and whip the club around the body making balance in the finish difficult instead of the hands, club shaft and trail arm being pulled straight with club head mass tracking down the target line in the finish.
Felt like I just read the first 3 chapters of war and peace 💀
I feel you are describing what I do - not following through with straight arms. But I don't understand what you suggest golfers do? Can you recommend a video or are you referencing what is being demonstrated in this video?
Also when you say we should lift our back heel - do you mean our right foot heel, for a right handed player, on the back swing?

Mate you are the best at explaining the swing!! Love your videos mate very helpful. Thank you
Yes, clear as mud.
Excellent and so important we'll explained ,not just good for beginners. Helpful and inspirational for the advanced also"
The thumbnail for this video isn't covered at all..
Thumbnail click bait
Yep. Frustrating isn't it!
Thanks for the heads up. Well, I'm out fellas
It’s EXACTLY what he’s discussing….
Typical with this site.
From my fairway woods to my putter, I feel like I play like a 5-10 hcp, but my driver I play like a 25 hcp. I have absolutely no confidence or comfort with it and it shows. Some days I hit it 285 yards, others I hit it 170 with a crazy hook, or with so much top spin it falls unnaturally out of the sky... I need this video.
My swing thought always is to bring the club down and tight....and through....like an iron, as there is the tendency to throw the driver out....and that so often results in a shot that has lost so much loft., as the club loses the low arc as it comes into the ball.
The video didn’t seem to match the visual intro image. Whilst I like the explanation and agree, it would have helped if you had hit a few shots as an example.
Thumbnail got me but wasn’t mentioned. At address I tend to add shaft lean to help compress the ball, a feel that I’m used to. Is this similar to the driver and your thumbnail?
Shaft lean with irons, I mean. Would this work with the driver; it’s how I saw the thumbnail.
Yes a misleading thumbnail. I sometimes address the ball and wonder if I have the right clubface angle and I was hoping this would be covered in this video but........
Russell..With hybrid & Fairway wood is a slight tilt then? Thank You
Good video, I've had a big problem for the last few years with leaning my whole body instead of tilting mainly the shoulders, which made it impossible for me to get my weight back to my left side through the strike. It's led to a lot weak strikes off the bottom of the driver face.
Thank you for your lesson
Thanks for the tip..new subscriber here. I’ll try that today…
👏👍 Will definitely try this !
What about weight distribution??
you're genius
thnaks
Discuss the thumbnail pls
It's just the result of flipping the hands, vs maintaining lag
Good Stuff 🔥🔥🔥
Well done'
Your backswing sways significantly off the ball, increasing the likelihood of mishits and inconsistency. For us amateurs how about a simpler swing that nearly ‘covers’ the ball through rotation? Imminently more repeatable.
"Covering the ball" is for irons. Hit the driver "covering the ball" you'll just reach the hight of the sky. If you really want to improve your consistency game, "don't even hit the driver". That works for 90% of amateur players. He's just giving a quick tip for gamblers. Wrong place.
This is exactly what I've been working on over the past 2 weeks. For the past 2 years my driver swing has reverted to a more vertical hit down on the ball swing. My driver went 180-200 YDS. As soon as I started realising my spine axis needed to change for the driver, I started hitting up on the ball and my ball flight instantly changed (I found as I did this and rotated around my spine I also engaged my obliques, especially on my forward side) and I gained more distance, hitting 215-230 YDS. I added in a release of my wrists thru impact and no word of a lie, am now 230 to 250 YDs on avg with the odd 270 YRD draws! I'm not a spring chicken and recovering from lower back herniation; ergo, rebuild of my swing the past 2 years. Now I'm working on better arm structure from the top thru impact to narrow my dispersion. Great video coach 👍
thats amzing, dr.kwons step drills were a game changer for me. I'm 33 and have been playing about 3 years and my driver was pretty consistently in the 200-220 range. releasing my wrists was something I struggled with because in my head that was flipping(it wasn't). I am now swinging much more freely and relaxed and im driving the ball around 250-270 and can push them out to 280-290 when i really go after one. two weeks ago i hit my furthest drive yet 299. I have two driver goals that i hope to reach by the end of the year.... 1. get my average up to 270-280 , and 2. hit a drive over 300. on level ground of course.
What?
What your saying is, old ones with limited flexibility can’t play normal golf, so is there a golf technique, I mean a complete golf technique for us or do we just quit.

hit the BALLLLLLLLLLLLL
Bait switch
I watched this videa on the interwebs using my computer (button box).
I would enjoy your instruction so much more, if you could stop saying “sort of” and “kind of” every time you try to make a point. I find it annoying, but I suppose that’s on me, coming from a family of educators. Good luck with your teachings.
Possibly the most long winded explanation ever
The video does not address the thumbnail image - which is why I clicked on the video. Bummer.
Why do your opening images have nothing to do with your video?
Volume of words without making concise points
I’ll have to unfollow if these videos aren’t segmented and cut into chapters in the future
Video had nothing to do with the thumbnail… I hate that
Click bait. Misleading thumb nail. Pisses me off enough to not tune in to future channel videos. Honesty goes a long way in video engagement
Thanks!
Helped me.
interesting. Will try
I don’t get this. If you want to hit up on the ball, surely you should keep your hands behind the ball at impact, not in front of the ball? If you tell amateurs to get their hands in front of the ball at impact with driver, they will simply require more loft to get the ball airborne and they will struggle with a slice as a result of the now open club face.
The shoulder tilt is determined by the position of your right foot, the further the right foot is away from the ball the more your shoulders tilt naturally whilst gripping a golf club.

Misleading thumbnail
it’s all natural selection, those that are constantly learning will improve their game in no time. And this channel is the perfect source for learning.
