Awesome ! great mention about "connection" in the swing !
Very good idea. I have a thought/feel that I am throwing the club versus trying to swing it. Much more fluid and natural motion.
At makes so much sence to me. I've only been playing 53years and this is the clearest guidance I've ever seen. ❤
Wonderful!
This is great….and once again, exactly what I needed!
Yeah for sure. Fab lesson as always man. Canada.
Brilliant and simple
Russell, loving the great instruction video's! Yesterday I tried the the drill with the right foot back, was able to get the back shoulder down and through the ball consistently straight and with power! Thanks again!
Nice one ☝️
Your introduction describes me to a tee!!! Really enjoyed your video👍
Thank you! I have been having a horrible time with my transition!!! My timing or sequencing is poor! I don’t transfer my weight and hit fat shots or stall my body halfway in the downswing producing thin shots and chicken wing follow through!
Excellent drills to produce solid and consistent ball striking. Thanks
Glad you like them!
This is a landmark lesson, thank you !!!
You are welcome!
Sounds reasonable! I w I’ll try it on the range today! Does this work for driver as well? Thanks
OMG - this is literally a game changer! Thank you.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks for the video! Nice to see such a departure in golf swing instruction. Simple, and easy to do. Wondering how your distance is with this new move?
I’ll get an update of live hitting next week
I like it I like it.. Sir❤❤
I've been using a much shorter compact swing and concentrating on the weight transfer as you suggest, but that's due to back issues. In a world where I did not have to do this, I don't know whether I would be still doing this. If you take a look at any long drive contestant or female professional golfer (who can outdrive most amateurs), the arc in their swing is enormous. Also, if you take a look at anyone trying to throw a frisbee as far as they can, they certainly do have a big shoulder and hip rotation. Proponents of the big arc swing would argue that a large arc, especially if one lifts the heel of the forward foot to increase the arc results in greater distance with less effort. Would be interested in your opinion on this. Thanks for your video.
I agree this is not a swing for distance. However the problem that plagues most Am’s is inconsistency and making mistakes. If you control your contact, starting direction and curvature then you can add distance. If not then don’t go there first
hardly matters unless you play on the pga tour or long courses, long drivers arnt pros also..
Thanks! You explain things very clearly..always keep an eye out for your content..
Jonathan
Thank you much appreciated
This is great!
🙏🏻
Do you recommend this for all shots? Irons, hybrids, woods, driver?
This drill is literally the only thing that has helped me cure my “yips”. My only question is that this seems to work perfectly for my higher irons but my lower irons I keep hitting low and to the right. Any thoughts?
It’s hard to say without seeing the swing
More great content! I noticed your student at ~:51 was float loading on her downswing but I've don't recall you every talking about that?
Recentering?
@@russellheritagegolf creating more lag in downswing as opposed to full wrist cock on backswing. Sergio and Rahm are good examples.
Great video. Can you describe set up? i e weight distribution on feet; do you keep % weigh on front foot?
Ok will do
"THANK YOU," Russell! Finally we have someone teaching the average golfer how to get more out of the game! The prevailing idea of trying to teach the casual amateur golfer how to swing like a professional golfer is ludicrous! WOW!
Russell following on from this do you pin your lead arm across your chest on the downswing also.
In the early very much
Hello Russell,
Is this move sort of saying not to do the traditional one piece takeaway by moving the “Y” all at once. So swing arms up to the chest, small amount of turn, then let it go, all staying more forward through the whole move? Jim Hardy had similar moves I believe.
Sounds good to me
that is what i have started doing after i had my right knee replaced, and i feel i am hitting the ball better than ever.
Great to hear
I like a nice long, languid backswing.... gives me so much time in the downswing.
What works
But a frisbee isn’t a pole with a weight at the end of it. Your move will definitely improve consistency. I spent years practicing the reverse K movement or the right sided swing as they call it. I even won a few club events. But I have returned to a traditional swim with a full turn because I was tired of being obliterated off the tee.
I think this is more for the struggling armature. We lose the club head as we try and extend it around our body. I really like this simple approach that can be extended as confidence increases.
I’ve only managed to get 164mph club head speed with this swing, limiting me to about 280 yard drives.
You mean ball speed
@@NineEyeRonDoesn't sound very limited 😂
Why not start with weight forward like S&T thus maintaining the arc.Keep the arms very connected,effectively turning the upper arms and shoulders together.The upper lead arm staying close to the upper chest.
Keep the back swing short with no conscious wrist hinge minimising arm shoulder separation .Feel the downswing as a reverse motion of the back swing.And catapult the club through the ball.Swinging upwards with arms and shoulders.
The whole feeling is connected,compact with greater confidence in achieving more consistent impact.
All variables are significantly reduced.
Just a suggestion to other golfers who struggle with the mainstream professional approach.You may well hit it longer and straighter.
My coach is telling me not to shift foprward until I've reached the top of my backswing but I am struggling with this. It feels easier to try and keep more weight on the lead side to stop the sway backwards. Also he's very much of the full backswing school. I get it but at time I feel more in control with a shorter backseing, especially with the irons
You have to make these decisions for yourself. I’m sure if you explained and had a conversation with your pro they’ll be flexible
More weight on front Foot sure Helped Me ,especially the Irons!!
Stacking over the ball on the front foot in the backswing is a recipe for disaster for most slicers.
There should be no steadfast rules in golf tuition, your pro should be utilising what you have and your ability. The days of every teaching pro preaching the same sh1t from the same book are long gone. If you have an older teaching pro, dump him/her, go to a younger teaching pro and they will do things very differently and your game will improve significantly faster. I'm 58 and have always used pros with a similar my age and older than myself, big mistake, I gave up hitting a driver for 25 years because of my horrendous slice and my pro couldn't fix!! I found a young teaching pro who has now got me hitting driver arrow straight or with a baby draw in 3 lessons and admittedly a lot of time at the range practising, lessons became fun, with clear concise instruction and all to my ability. To think I must have wasted thousands of £££ on sh1t lessons from lazy teaching pros, I firmly believe they didnt want to help improve my game knowing I would come back week after week and give them another £40 for 30 minutes. I now see my "young" teaching pro only 1/2 times a year max. I'm now playing the best golf in 35 years and more importantly I'm enjoying it. If your teaching pro isn't improving your game just sack him off.
It's the stack and tilt swing!
I play off 10. Used to be 8. I’m a young slim 49. Also used to play a lot of hokey which is a completely different HIT/SLAP. Club, county etc…
I’ve been swinging way you’ve pointed out for 30 years. Works for me. Tried all the classic lessons etc, but I’m happy to see what I’ve been doing is now coming into fruition. 🎉
Always been curious as to why no one plays golf with the step. At least from level lies.
Happy did! ❤
Watch the legs, Saguto golf, take 2!!

0:20 you’ve just described my massively disjointed gold swing…..
Golden…
And just remember not all of us can chuck a Frisbee….
🤦🏻
I was taught to complete the backswing to keep from slicing.
I understand and if it helps stick with it. However it’s your arms in the downswing that fix a slice
So in other words, hit the ball like Happy Gilmore, got it!
If you were gonna tgrow a frisbee, bring the disc straight back... sorry, I love some disc golf too
I believe I need this so stop my fat and thin shots. I almost never take a divot,
Agreed
Same idea as Gary Player?
Like that
Looks to me a lot like stack and tilt thinking
I’m not familiar with the complete stack and tilt method however I encourage 50/50 weight and also suggest all students maintain tilt
S&T was huge at one point, it got loads right but it’s marketing was a big turnoff for many. If it had just been marketed better it would have worked.
It also over did it with the fundamentals, it tried to push how different it was when in reality it was just another way of explaining a proper golf swing with some fancy moves attached. It was based on some good ideas but it was over done and over marketed.
So every instructor who says you SHOULD rotate is wrong?? Even with your frisbee example and step drill you are rotating.
Tomorrows video should help with this also
shifting weight to the lead leg on the backswing... you just rediscovered stack and tilt lol Which is not for everyone. It wrecked my knee and bak.
That’s not what’s happening here. I’m not advocating weight to fully in lead leg in backswing. I also suggest to all my students to maintain tilt 👍🏻
@@russellheritagegolf Ah sorry I must have misunderstood. You said at 1:14 that shifting your momentum and moving progressively onto your lead side in your backswing. That sounds like loading your weight/pressure only on your front leg and not shifting it onto your back leg in the backswing and then on your front leg in the downswing. Which is the stack and tilt method.
He said 50/50 until starting the downswing
There's lots going on. If you're really athletic, then make the biggest backswing that you can make, engaging everything you have, in order to add force and whip action. If you're like me, unathletic, and now old, you realized a long time ago that a great big back swing just feels like you're out of control, because again, there's lots going on. You can either master all that...or not. But don't kid yourself -- you'll never be great if you're eliminating steps as advised here. That said, it's great advice. The "ah-ha" moment comes when you admit to yourself that you could practice forever and never be great because you're not athletic in the first place. I have a nephew who is athletic. He walks onto any field, court, course, whatever and he looks natural. You can see it. HE could learn to play really well. But, if you're like me and you don't feel in yourself what you're seeing in an athletic person, then give up on the big back swing, because it was never right for you in the first place. Why frustrate yourself for years trying to pick up 20 more yards, and making mistakes, while you could be enjoying yourself playing inside your game? Like Dirty Harry said, "A man's got to know his limitations." Or, if you prefer, To Know Yourself is to Know God.
How come the pro golfers not do it .?
Not a fan 😢
It works. Think don't turn swing fast.
Sorry Russell you have got everything wrong in this video.
Ok
