Can't stress enough how much your videos have improved my golf game coming from someone who's never had a lesson and just started 2 years ago. Thank you Steve for all the content!
Great stuff as always Steve. Started watching you and practicing your tips a year ago and was lucky to break 100. Now, a year later, if I'm not in the high 80s it is an unusually bad day. Thanks for all your efforts to help us out here in YTland.
Great advice Steve. The left tilt, as opposed to maintaining forward bend, is so commonly misunderstood. Many high handicappers will maintain forward bend right into the follow through as well! Subscribed! Best wishes from Australia.
Watched this earlier today then went and hit balls at the range using this thought. Really repeatable. Then played 18 holes with new work mate and I took it as a great compliment in the bar afterwards when he described my round as boringly steady. Great simple technique as always demonstrated brilliantly 👍
Colm Naughton it's great to get these tips so when practicing at least you know you're working on the correct moves , my ball striking has greatly improved since I,ve started watching Steve's videos.
Tried the tucking the sleeve under the armpits advice from your last video and it worked a treat, Steve. Best score this year. Definitely going to try this swing thought. 👍🏻
Thank you your the best I took my 8iron did the right hand from right pocket add to club hit best ever thanks in I was born in Greenock live-in USA since 10 years old 61 now anyway thanks
Oh yeah! This really helps staying centered, a must to get back to the ball for a good strike. My mistake is trying to stay centered and moving into the backswing with shoulders too level, which does pull me off the ball, when I do this people will say to me” you've swayed”. This is the cure.Thanks for this…Mike.
Tried this today with some success. In another video you talked about tucking the hips after hitting the ball. Struggling with this. Any tips please!!!
Steve, be good to tie “left shoulder to golf ball crunch” with bend/flexion of left knee. All would seem to tie together, right? Keep doing what you’re doing-good stuff.
I think I do this when I swing. I don't consciously bend over left at address, but I do stay quiet over the ball and the left shoulder goes low in the top of the backswing. I'm getting good strikes too. The tip about placement of the hands behind the right shoulder in the backswing plane really works for me, and I think it automatically produces the effect Steve is describing in this lesson. I'm going to go to the range today and emphasize the left tilt address to see what that can do for my swing. I can always use more efficient strikes and more club head speed for more distance. !!
With driver i will use this thought as what I hope it does is help get into thorascic extension thus shifting weight to the lead side and then rotating. Any comment of whether i am on the right track?
The first summer I tried golf 40 or more years ago that was my swing thought. I don’t know why it just seemed like a good idea. I was told over and over what a great natural swing I had. I use to easily hit a Wilson blade 2 iron from the deck and regularly shot in the mid 80s.Then over the winter I started reading golf books and completely ruined my swing with a hundred swing thoughts. Over the years after much study lessons, videos, DVDs,and UA-cam it all comes back to this!?
Wow tried this just now in garden and I may have this wrong but I noticed that I tilted in back swing but raised the left shoulder in the down swing... As an experiment I tilted and stayed tiled in the down swing and omg I'm thundering the ball into my net found some more power.. Heading to Ashbury golf complex Monday for ba few days with friends can not wait to play full shots with it..
Steve... I am a former Eureka site user. Have it down. Your video here is really a S n T move. This said... I want to hit the fade and found that if I set the handle up at address my takeaway gives me more left hand/ arm / shoulder - control. Any suggestions on your end ? Thanks JB NC
I think I do bend my left shoulder. My problem is low point control. I don't really feel like I get that " 4 inches" left . I notice you seem to move a bit left b4 impact. Not a slide , maybe a leaning left?
What then? 🤷🏼♂️ After you establish the relationship to the ball by pointing the left shoulder down, how do you KEEP that relationship through impact? My big miss (as it is with others) is coming out of my posture in the downswing 😩 … or is this your NEXT video? I know the downswing takes a fraction of a second (too quick to think about it?) Thanks, Steve 🙏🏻 Keep up the good work.
Steve I love your teaching, but it would be a lot better if you had a couple more cameras. One down the line and one face on. Thanks again for your great instruction.
Umm I'm getting it....but are you using your feet to push up from the ground just prior to impact, you appear to rotate throu the contact zone with out much explosive force. Now I'm confused !!!
Hi Steve you are not applying left shoulder bend to just Stack and Tilt? Are you? You are shifting your weight to your trail side? Arn’t you.? Just want to pick your brain more; so I can understand where you are going with this. And in doing it I ask you; what is your weight shift preference in a golf swing? Cheers
Hello Steve, it’s a good tip to introduce your left shoulder into the swing. The concept reminds me of the Steve Austin ‘Compound Pivot’ swing. Similar, but not as simple as the Austin swing. Cheers
Great tip. In my opinion, you are the best instructor on Utube.
Thank you Steve, from the U.S. This works and compresses the golf ball. Love your channel.
Steve: This was EXCEEDINGLY helpful ... Thank YOU!!
I always thought the barrel drill helped keep you centered. You again make it all come together for a struggling 12 handicapper. Thanks Steve.
I played golf today and used THE LEFT BEND absolutely works great
doesn't take but a little bit of a move to make it work great for me, THANKS!
Mate, l love your videos and I love your sense of humour.
You're an excellent instructor. Thank you.
Left Shoulder... Great Advice...
My iron play is getting real good with this swing thanks keep it coming steve
Can't stress enough how much your videos have improved my golf game coming from someone who's never had a lesson and just started 2 years ago. Thank you Steve for all the content!
One simple swing thought...Brilliant Steve
Great stuff as always Steve. Started watching you and practicing your tips a year ago and was lucky to break 100. Now, a year later, if I'm not in the high 80s it is an unusually bad day. Thanks for all your efforts to help us out here in YTland.
Amazing progress. Well done.
I sometimes struggle with this. I understand it, getting my muscle memory to keep this going is the key.
Great advice Steve. The left tilt, as opposed to maintaining forward bend, is so commonly misunderstood. Many high handicappers will maintain forward bend right into the follow through as well! Subscribed! Best wishes from Australia.
Yes, it's the same but opposite to what's working for me. I'm right shoulder back, it gives you so much room to unleash 👏👏👏 Top content.
Another solid piece of instruction.
Steve you make it look so easy
Tried this move for the first time. Hit 50 balls as well as I have ever done. Added 20+ yards to my mid-irons. Great tip. Thanks.
Reinforces the lesson I had this week on getting my left shoulder down! Thanks..
Heard this before but you explain it in a nice straightforward simple way which is easy to understand 👍
Brilliant, so easy to follow big man, can't wait for Monday now
Great tip Steve. I was a lifter before I added this to my game. Broke 80 for the first time at the weekend. Still buzzing now :)
As always simple thoughts, many thanks
Nice one Steve

Great tip that is Steve, thank you! Please bring us more useful tips. Love from China.
Absolutely spot on this Steve... Thanks for all the great content, this one will help loads of us!!
great video Steve this will help a lot of golfers keep up the good work your content is always easy to understand and very helpful
A true game changer. Left shoulder down. 👍⛳
Tried the tucking the sleeve under the armpits advice from your last video and it worked a treat, Steve. Best score this year. Definitely going to try this swing thought. 👍🏻
Great tip one thought a whole lot better than a hundred thanks Steve
It must work i won back to back comps at my club trying for 3 in a row this weekend thanks Steve you little genius you 😊
Thank you your the best I took my 8iron did the right hand from right pocket add to club hit best ever thanks in I was born in Greenock live-in USA since 10 years old 61 now anyway thanks
Brilliant. As always. Thank you.
Weight forward full shoulder turn, stack & tilt 🏌️
great tip - often heard "left shoulder under chin on back swing and right shoulder under chin on down swing.
Nice move and explaination
So simple, looking forward to putting into practice, thanks Steve 👍👍👍👍👍
Really enjoying your instruction, thanks for the great tip, keep it coming ... thanks Steve!

ABSOLUTELY GREAT,Follow this and you can 't top the ball THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Extraordinary !
I will be trying it tomorrow Cheers. Keep the tips coming. Great delivery not over complicated.
Nice one Steve as usall, LE Crunch the left hand side 👍
this is my "go to" swing thought whenever my game goes off the rails...never fails
Another brilliant video Steve, well explained, simple advice.... I’ll put this to into practice this afternoon’s Mens Day Competition 👍🏻🍻🍻
Absolutely. Thank You!
Really like the way you repeat the simple, small swing thoughts. Easy to use man.
Another great tip - will definitely try it.
New go to you tube channel, simplified golf instruction keep up the good content Steve 👍
Cracking video Steve 👍👍👍
Great move, thanks Steve...

Looks like a good swing thought one for the practice session tomorrow!!!
Right on. Thanks 😊
Great video seem so simple can't wait to try this out. Keep up the great content
Excellent advice. Though I think it important to get back extension too.
In effect we stand up and left side crunch.
something I've been working on. Thanks! Crunch it!!
I think I do this when I swing. I don't consciously bend over left at address, but I do stay quiet over the ball and the left shoulder goes low in the top of the backswing.
I'm getting good strikes too.
The tip about placement of the hands behind the right shoulder in the backswing plane really works for me, and I think it automatically produces the effect Steve is describing in this lesson.

Thanks mate sounds and looks great 👍
And blending this with bending left knee and strightening right knee. Somebody calls this S&T😊
Great tip!
Great tip Steve thank you
great video as always , going to try that 😁
Great tip, thanks for sharing :)
thanks
Excellent confirmation of Carl Loren’s book “One Move to Better Golf”
Great tip. Than you!
Oh great stuff... 👌👌
On the downswing do you think "right shoulder down to ball"???
I’ll give it a go, cheers.
Great info. How is it you haven’t broken that mirror behind you :-)
I’ll try that today
Sounds good to me, but I’ve seen videos where your told to bend slightly to the right at set-up when using your driver. Who’s right?
Comment/Question...on the course, could you pre-set side bend as described, then hit the shot?
Wow tried this just now in garden and I may have this wrong but I noticed that I tilted in back swing but raised the left shoulder in the down swing... As an experiment I tilted and stayed tiled in the down swing and omg I'm thundering the ball into my net found some more power..

How do Ashbury go?
@@senorb1753 fun as ever... Love it there.. Played well played rubbish averaged 101 over 6 rounds.. Which is not bad for me..
Steve... I am a former Eureka site user. Have it down. Your video here is really a S n T move. This said... I want to hit the fade and found that if I set the handle up at address my takeaway gives me more left hand/ arm / shoulder - control. Any suggestions on your end ? Thanks JB NC
How do you do this without your head moving forward
Left shoulder back and left shoulder through; push and pull?
I think I do bend my left shoulder. My problem is low point control. I don't really feel like I get that " 4 inches" left . I notice you seem to move a bit left b4 impact. Not a slide , maybe a leaning left?
What then? 🤷🏼♂️

My big miss (as it is with others) is coming out of my posture in the downswing 😩
… or is this your NEXT video?

Thanks, Steve 🙏🏻
Keep up the good work.
Steve I love your teaching, but it would be a lot better if you had a couple more cameras. One down the line and one face on. Thanks again for your great instruction.
I’ll forward you my address so you can send a few 🤣🤣
@@stevejohnstongolf Give me a day’s instruction and I’ll consider exchanging my GoPro
All very simple but does this get the shaft into a L shape naturally or must you also have to work at getting the shaft into this position?
Steve you say it works with every club does that include the driver
With the eureka swing I thin the ball, any tips?
I believe he says play the ball farther back in your stance for the Eureka system
Stack and tilt?
Umm I'm getting it....but are you using your feet to push up from the ground just prior to impact, you appear to rotate throu the contact zone with out much explosive force.
Now I'm confused !!!
👍
What is your downswing thought?
Arnold Palmer tip: point the left shoulder at the ball.
Tilt, Turn, Extend...! :)
Stack and tilt comes to mind, its great with irons, stay centered, hit the same spot every time, however i struggled with woods and driver like this
I’ll work on this. Know my shoulders are too flat at the top of my backswing
