Christo, great video. I've been doing this move ever since your video 8 mos ago where you speak about Roger Dunn and the early shift he advocated. It promotes a gravity move through the ball instead of an arm pull. People need to pay very close attention to what you are teaching in this video. If they do, they'll never go back to swinging like they did. This is effortless power.
thanks Christo. I have followed you since before the Hogan movie and always improved my game by watching your videos. But this is the golden key for me, clearly stated and demonstrated by you. I have been evolving towards this swing thought but did not know exactly what I was doing to get better results. I was trying to stay back on my swing without really knowing why I was getting better. Now that I know the weight shift should be targeted at the spot and not just the club head, I can't wait to get out there and hit some. Like you stated I was attacking the ball with my arms. Thanks for your insights, it has been a great experience following your evolution and utilizing the experiences to improve my game.
As a former baseball and football player it is all natural. And the same with kicking a soccer ball. Weight shifts first! Love your comment “As you lift, you shift”! I’ve said to a few people, “If you sway, you pay”! Lift/shift! Got it!!
Christo García……where the hell were you 30 yrs ago, my friend! This activation of my legs along with the ‘over the top’ downswing FINALLY has me swinging through the ball _exactly_ like my perfect practice swing. Thank you, mate! 👍
Hey Christo. Great job on these videos. I love your channel! So being "almost" a senior, turning on the backswing seems a little more restricted than it could be. So I was in the back yard today with some practice balls and a 4 iron. I know 4 iron can be a tough club to hit for some. So when I was hitting it really well, that was a good sign. So here's what I did. I took my normal setup. Next I drew the right foot (back foot) back to close the stance like Hogan did for long irons or woods. I brought the club back well inside the line as the closed stance allowed me to do (and makes it a lot easier). Then I discovered something. And I'm wondering if this is related to Hogan's comment where he said he wished he had 3 right hands..... So with the closed stance I found I couldn't turn fast enough in the downswing and my body literally couldn't "go left". In other words no matter how fast I turned, when I turned, my body "faced" the target at the end of a balanced follow through. I could not face left of target if I tried... physically. So I found that I was not only hitting the ball straight and solid, but I could turn as fast as I wanted and really "thrash" the ball and it was being hit real solid. The turn was the kind that swept the grass real nice and along the target line. So if I didn't "turn hard", I think my shots would have gone to the right. And this is where I was wondering how so many seniors have ugly looking swings but they hit the ball 250 down the middle.. they all turn hard. Maybe the closed stance was getting my backswing into an ideal "backswing slot"??? And is what I'm doing the Miracle Swing? Or not? Your thoughts?
Thanks Christo, I was confused why your trail leg get straight when you lift, now I understand; how do you explain hideki matsuyama weight shift he even pause for 1 second on the top?
Beautiful swing. I'm finally getting there. The key for me was a neutral to weak left(top) hand and slightly stronger right hand . A nice one piece swing. Will be 52 in January and longer and straighter than I have ever been. 7 iron is 180 carry for me...not strong lofted irons...Mizuno 223's
Christo, you have been told this before and I can see it clearly myself which is that you do NOT swing over the top on the downswing, your downswing is on the same plain as your backswing and I have watched a fair number of your videos both before your proposed OTT and during your supposed OTT swing method. If you don’t believe me just watch your own swing on video.
Magnifico grande lezione di golf. Grazie GARSIA

Glad I read your comment. I'll pay attention. 👍👍

Great video and lesson. A nice big piece of the puzzle, and an important fundamental.
Thank you, Billy. Knowing how to place your low point is key. What did you find helped the most?

This may be the most impactful video you ever made, thank you

Christo, this is the Stack and Tilt method. Very effective!
not at all
@@gardner4718very similar
No it's not. Stack and tilt starts with weight on left foot and it stays there throughout.
Great lesson Master Christo
Great video chief, helped my swing big time. From the uk 🇬🇧
Hi Christo
Do the same weight shift for the diver and woods?
Yes, Glenn. Ball position changes, however. For a driver the ball is off the tip of my left shoulder.
would your low point be behind the ball since you are trying to hit up with the driver? @@MiracleSwingExperience
Do you recommend the jumbo grips Christo!?
Thanks Christo, I was confused why your trail leg get straight when you lift, now I understand; how do you explain hideki matsuyama weight shift he even pause for 1 second on the top?
I do that drill but I'm not stuck completely on my trail side. It's very difficult.
Love to have seen a front on shot with the camera when hitting the ball. Will go out and try this
This more than anything is why I started hitting it fat - I forgot how to move! Can’t wait to familiarize myself with the move again!
I'm pulling my shots using your swing with pkenty distance

Been watching since you started, Bravo
kind of like getting you're back to the target
same move with a driver?
Great thought but also the butt of the handle can't be allowed to lift up through strike. I love how your hands are nice and low through strike.
Thanks for sharing. Going to take this 76 year old body out and try it Papa
Good to see a bit more instructions...maybe theres hope for us poor ppl
Christo is a wizard

Wouldn't this be nice😂
Well, now I explains why I keep topping the ball. Maybe shifting too much.
This 4 inch shift should also create a draw shape naturally.
