GOLF: Shoulder Down & In & Under The Chin | How The Shoulders Move In The Golf Swing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- Learning how to move your shoulders in the golf swing can have a tremendous impact on how you hit the golf ball. Moving the shoulders in a circle will help you stay more centered, make a better pivot and hit the ball more from the inside. In this video, Jess Frank is taking us through his drill for keeping the shoulders down, in and under the chin in the backswing and follow through.

Awesome time with Eric making this video! Thank you so much for having me:)
You da man Jess---lots of fun. Appreciate all of the hospitality!
Corgorno for President!
Lets go!!! Will ask Jess to be VP ;)
Great video Jess and Eric ! “Down and in and under the chin” will improve your pivot and helps you eliminate “swaying”.
Thank you, Ken!
Thanks for sharing this drill, this works really well for me, my wedge just so much better, zero chunk or thin shot, highly recommended 🙏🏻
Glad to hear this one helped your game!
The last time Eric done a video with Jess was what introduced me to this man's work and led me to subscribing
Some of his concepts just spoke to me and it allowed me to understand the work I was doing on my swing
Good to see Jess seems to have sorted the microphone issues out He has been having lately
Love it! He's such a great guy!
My pro has been working with me on this for a couple of months but this is the clearest explanation I have heard. Excellent video. Thanks.
You got it Stuart! Hope it helps!
Down and in and under the chin is magic!
Yessir!
I've been working on stack and tilt in my swing for a few months now and by far this is the most critical thing to really gets what's different/better about the stack and tilt system (if not any good swing system). Thanks for a great video Eric and Jess.
Thanks, John!
Another great visual guys-thanks for the help.-Stay safe-Russ
Thank you, Russ!!
Thanks a lot for the lesson Jess and Eric. I have had serious challenges due to subtle swaying on the backswing. Also, down and in on the downswing seems to be very compound and easy to focus on as it encompasses the transition as well as the downswing itself. Much easier to remember “ down and in” in 1.5 seconds. Great lesson.👍👍👍
Thanks Olu!!
Great lesson guys! Now if the snow would just go away....
Come to Florida!!
:)
Should have been in DeerCreek the last 10 days. Can’t wait to work with Jes. I’ll miss Doug and Charlie but this is exactly where my golf swing needs to go. A little Corgorno, a little Malaska and Jes. 500 m from my from door. Soon!!!
Hey Gary! Look forward to it!!
@@JessFrankGolfAcademyBocaRaton Love that Malaska move. Ramos video on his site. Made me smile when I saw you keeping the club moving with the chest. That’s the golf swing. See you soon. We’re on the 17th @ DC. My wife just got home last night. Stuck in the snow for now. G
Good stuff Gary---see you down here soon! Jess is the best!
Can't wait to try this. I have a sway that is due to this exact issue.
Hope it helps Josh!
Tried this and shot my best round of the year. Shot 39 in my golf league.
Love to hear that Timothy!
Love you're videos Eric , started hitting the ball a lot more solid practicing you're drills, love the sound the ball makes when you hit it , one day I will hit one like that
100%! Keep up the great work and thanks for watching!!
This is a great video. Here there is no forearm rotation in the turn drill unlike the video I referenced a couple of days ago. BTW I shot 74 today three birdies and bested my wife! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Great playing!! Appreciate your support!
Great job guys. In surgery we have a saying and that is, (Kiss; translates to, keep it simple stupid). Golf is by no means easy so anything you can do to make it easier is the way to go. Stay safe Eric.
100%! Thank you John!!
Awesome. That really makes real sense to me. Thanks Batman and Robin of golf
Lol thanks, Danny!
Great vid man
Thank you Richie!
Thanks very much for great content.
Thanks Rich!
Great to see you back here in sunny south Florida! Great tip as well. I try to get my lead shoulder to my chin as well while also keeping an imaginary line that runs from the top of my head, through my chin, shoulder and down to the ball. Almost stacking over the ball and then swing around my body in a circle. Prevents that swaying off the ball. Has improved impact tremendously.
PS - How is that range not packed, it usually is lol
100%....those are the cues that are needed for most of us!
Lol its always packed....we snuck out in the corner very very early in the morning :)
Thanks for this video. I found this summer fr a video that my front shoulder was going into my face, there wasnt a down and under the chin.
You got it!!
Excellent video, thank you. I understand the Down and Under the Chin, but what is the "in" part?
Thanks Glenn!
The DOWN movement of the lead shoulder is from the spine tilting to the lead side (lateral flexion) and the legs changing flex on the backswing (trail leg straightens, lead leg bends)
The IN movement of the lead shoulder is from the body rotating on the backswing
So from the face on view, the spine tilting and legwork would make the lead shoulder work DOWN and the body rotation would make the lead shoulder work IN (to the left for a right-handed golfer)...those two motions together get the lead shoulder UNDER THE CHIN.
Hope this helps!
I’ve had a couple of lessons with a pro at my own club and this feel of down in under the chin is the feel that I’ve been missing, it fits in with everything that she has been doing with me
in the lesson.
Thanks George

Merry Christmas & a good golfing new year…!😊😊😊
:) Thanks George! Happy holidays to you!
Great video, Eric / Jess - same for Driver ? cheers, Ken 😎👍
Yessir Ken....replace the amount of forward bend at setup with side bend in backswing
So less with driver bc you stand taller.....more with wedge bc more bent over
@@CogornoGolf Ok great, thanks Eric ! Heatwave nearly over in London so looking forward to getting over the Range 😁👍
This may seem obvious, but somehow I got into a bad habit of turning my shoulders flat and not under the chin, then came over the top. This is a good reminder.
Agreed----lots of us with that issue Jim!
Great Video. Eric if you can achieve this move will it also prevent over swing in the backswing? Thanks
Thanks! I wouldn't say that no...you COULD still over swing from here
Here are some on directly fixing the over swing

Very good video. I would like to mention a little thing, since I'm 56 years old , I wouldn't mind to up my head in the backswing as long as I keep the angle of my torso. Is that correct?
Thanks a lot
Thank you! The issue there is any time you raise your head (up) inherently you lose your angle (inclination to ground).
The ONLY way to keep your angle is to keep your head in the circle.
@@CogornoGolf thank you for your answer. I should've said straighten my legs a bit on the backswing. Regards from Argentina.
Love "the wall under the chin" visual. How about a video just on the main cues (lines, boxes, circles) to use when looking at your swing (or maybe you have and I missed it)?
Hey Mike! Good idea---maybe will put that on the list!
This is something I noticed years ago that when hitting by accident, everyone is different but when shoulder is under chin most times good shot
Yes!
Also this is an excellent strategy for irons but feels like you’ll make quite a downward strike with the driver?
Hi Rick!
You do not need to worry about having too steep of a descent with the driver in regards to the info in this particular video. There are a number of things that could cause a steep angle of attack, but having a proper amount of side tilt on the backswing is not one of them.
More details on driver vs. irons here!

Thank you for watching!
Is this the same principle please for the driver and woods
Yes....replace forward bend with side bend
So you will still tilt (side bend) but less as clubs get longer (because you are bend over less at setup)
We talk about that in these I believe somewhere within

Thanks - much appreciate you getting back to me 👍
Do you keep your weight/pressure on your lead foot for the down in under the chin? Or is it a much more restrictive weight /pressure shift to your trail foot?
Hey Rick!
I would look to start at about 60/40 on your lead side and still be at that same 60/40 at the top of your backswing👍
So keep most of your weight on front foot and stay centered. Stack and Tilt?
Hey Jack!
Nope...I would say 50/50 at setup or 55 L 45 R would be average for good player with iron
Shift pressure away from target early in backswing then toward target late backswing
Keep hips in middle
ua-cam.com/video/rmuQUEqkNiM/v-deo.html
Isn't this stack and tilt?
All golfers have lead side bend....regardless of swing philosophy
Best
Nick Faldo swing though is lead shoulder under chin as well. It’s the slot
Wish I could have seen the video instead of 2700 ads and redirects
:) Gotta pay the bills!
Why did you have that guest on? You did all the talking.
Lol sorry about that I need to learn to shut up sometimes! My bad!
Only 10 different things.. hahah, you must get int my mind... lost count
Haha I hear ya!
Heres the simple version: Shoulder down and in :)
