Just so you viewers know this is a very very detailed explanation. He’s giving you a very good lesson here. Most you tubers don’t explain that the downward shift is very very fast and people throw their right side out to go fishing as a result.
This move right here plus my natural short game is what got me to +1
So re watch it multiple times.
Thank you very much, appreciate your support.
@@Hittingitsolid pleasure is mine. Btw how do you maintain your swing when you don’t play often anymore? I recently lost my swing and I “think” it’s the backswing load to fire down with power. Just can get my club to set to pull the trigger without thinking
@@saijinkai For me, I do a lot of practice drills at home without a club in my hand. I continually try to build muscle memory in my golf swing whenever I get the chance.
@@Hittingitsolid so you develop your own personal drill. Yea, I think I’m at that point now too.
@@saijinkai Yep, that's exactly right
$$$ on lessons to fix my swing and only this video corrected it! TY
Thanks, that's great to hear. Cheers
Something that has helped me with the feel of this is: top of the swing, at that split second as my weight just begins to shift I think of keeping my back to the target just a fraction of a second longer. Doing this seems to keep me from bringing the left shoulder up too soon and I hit it really solid.
Thanks Bobby, yes I agree, that is a really good feel to have. Cheers
Yeah this is an underrated tip. I’ve been fortunate enough to have a solid short game bc I do this on a smaller scale, very well. I could never figure out what it was that made me so inconsistent with full swings. I didn’t keep the left shoulder down for that split second and as a result, have hurt the right side of my lower back. But I’m glad I figured it out from this video, now the coiling is released naturally when I swing correctly.
Thanks James, glad it helped. Cheers
Hi Troy, I just came upon this video and it is a real eye opener for me. I have been trying to improve for years, and this piece has eluded me. Looking at both old and current videos of my swing shows that the first move I am making in the downswing is my left shoulder going up, leading to dreaded early extension. Thanks so much for the simple explanation, and I will be working on this a lot over the winter!
Appreciate it Tom, glad it helped you out.
your tutorials are always so clear! and I love how you show it from different angles
Thanks Ortal, appreciate your support!
This makes a lot of sense. Thanks for these tips!
Thank you very much, cheers.
I love your tutorials and this one is no different. Thank you!!
Thanks Shishir, much appreciated!
Great series, Troy! It certainly has me thinking in a different way!
Thank you, glad it helped. Cheers
good stuff ... your vids always have something of value to me ...just when I thought I knew everything ...you prove me wrong :-)
Cheers mate, yes we never stop learning in this game that's for sure.
Excellent video. Very helpful to see it explained from more than one angle. Thank you
Thanks so much Jim, appreciate it.
You have great videos mate. Extremely detailed. I love when you talk about common faults that might appear when learning the new movement
Thanks Tone, appreciate it!
You made the posturing seem so easy! Thanks for tips!
Thank you, happy to help out. Cheers
Another good video on basic correct swing mechanics. This video relates well to your recent’ How the pros Do the Downswing’ video.
Thanks John, glad you liked it.
Thanks coach great vid love it!
Thanks Andy, glad you enjoyed it!
Exceptional description of components and feels. Thanks mate, subbed!
Thanks Chris, appreciate it.
Great, will want to try it out sooner
Cheers
Strangely, I was having issues with ball striking last year. Somehow I figured out that I needed to drop my left shoulder and this is proof of that!
Nice work, glad it worked for you. Cheers
This guy’s fabulous!
Thanks Andy, appreciate it
No question !
@@jasonhorkoff8574 Cheers :)
Another great video, so glad I subscribed. One of the best golf instructors on the net IMHO.
Thanks Joe, appreciate it.
Videos are excellent, thank you
Thanks Tony, appreciate it.
Excellent presentation, great instruction again.
Thanks Wayne, appreciate it. Cheers
Great explanation mate. I love your delivery.
Thank you very much :)
Hi Troy, after watching this video I remember Tiger making this exact same move with the lower left shoulder!
Hi Mark, yes, he sure does do that. Cheers
This is a great lesson.
Thanks Roger, appreciate it.
Video at 6:15 is KEY!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you, appreciate it
This is my key move.
It's a move that most amateurs leave out.
It's less flippy and you can really feel the shaft flexing and hear the explosive compression, followed by the "HISS", as the air is squeezed out of the dimples 😊
Yes David, it’s a key part of my golf swing too
Good instruction.
Thanks Tony, appreciate it
Have the hardest time with this one. So many years going flat. Practice drills looks great as soon as i put the club back in hand shoulders go back flat. Love channel I'll keep working these drills. Thanks
Thanks Frank, yes takes some practice but keep at it and you'll get there. Cheers
is this for driver as well? or mostly irons?
Same feel for the driver as well. Cheers
This is key, i think in terms of pulling with the lead leg at the start of the downswing. That feel of pulling lowers me into a squat like position but maintaining my angles of the upper body and shallows and sets my club in a position so i can push away from the ground when rotating into my lead hip. Arms and hands just following along controlling/stearing the club. Its a very subtle move just at the start of the downswing but crucial in so many ways.
Yep, definitely super important
Perfect!
Thanks Adrian, appreciate it!
Does this apply to the driver swing as well? Great content.
It does, but to a lesser extent because the ball is up on a tee. Thanks
Thanks
I think this tip will help right now through your help in compressing the ball but sometimes I hit it thin every time l do this I’ve been thinking in not extending my arms through impact I’ll try your tip tomorrow thanks
Thanks Dennis, good luck with trying it out. Cheers
It works. For years I struggled until I tried that. I get the strike, height, and more accuracy. Still a long way to go!
That's excellent Anil, cheers.
Great video brotha 👍
Thanks Scott, appreciate it.
Great video. You described my situation perfectly. My question is is this move (pulling up with the left shoulder and side and tilting back) caused by a effort to hit up on the ball?
Thanks Ken
Hi Ken, with irons you want to be hitting more down on the golf ball. Driver is hitting more up. The pulling up with the left shoulder happens after the strike. There's not much tilting back as such. Does that make sense? Cheers
Has anyone ever added up how many moves an amateur golfer needs to practice and remember in a split second of a golf swing…..from evaluating your lie…the wind…the target…to lining up your target…to addressing the ball…etc…..hundreds I would think….I think it would help if a golf instructor would just teach a very simple swing for a high handicap golfer and then move up to a lower handicap golfer etc…..this instructor is one of the better teachers online compared to many others with all these so called secret moves….their are no secrets….ask Ben Hogan…he said he learned the game by digging it up from the ground….thousands of hours and balls are required to lear; this game and very few actually improve….in my book…without it…
Thank you, appreciate it.
High Troy- Great video and really important. Getting left shoulder down as first move in down swing can be deceptive as a first move from the top. Getting left shoulder down does not mean getting left shoulder down lower than right shoulder as this is what I first thought. That was a mistake to think that on my part and this thought threw me off for the longest time.. Really both shoulders go down as a first move not just the left shoulder. The first move down is a centring or squatting motion if you will, not an isolated move of the left shoulder down as you suggest. Hope this helps unless I am mistaken.
Thanks Harold, appreciate it
No, he's clearly saying to feel like your belt button and shirt buttons get down aswell. That feel as you say is important so you just don't drop your lead shoulder
Really really great perspective. Is this the feeling also like more chest down towards the ground and then rotate in downswing? Thanks...
Thank you, yes feeling the chest down and then rotating is a great feel also. Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid Thank you
For a second there I thought I was listening to a Bob Ross painting video
Hey Anthony, who's Bob Ross? Is he a golfer? I haven't heard of him. Cheers
Those beautiful birds though.... are those kookaburra?
Hello, no I don’t think so. Did you have a question about the video? Cheers
It was a grey shrike-thrush, proving I know more about birds than golf swings. 😂
I have found that if I lower my left should on the backswing, I have to make sure that I turn it up and away on the downswing or I heel the ball (or worse!)
Yes Mike, that rotation from there is very important. Cheers
You lower it and shallow the club at the same time? Or low then shallow? Thank you!
Hi Fai, both at the same time for me. Cheers
When I tilt my shoulder too much with my left shoulder lower than my right at the top of the backswing, I always hit the ground first which turns the club face and the end result is that i'm hooking the ball. Any suggestions?
Hi Pat, sounds like you are either coming down too steep in the downswing and/or not rotating enough which is causing the club to bottom out too early. Think about getting the club more shallow in the downswing and get some more rotation. Cheers
I struggle with pulling my irons, sometimes driver. Will this left shoulder move help stop this?
Yes, it should help with pulled shots. But, do some testing at the range first before hitting the golf course. Cheers
Does this also applies to Driver?
Yes, but it won't go down quite as much.
How do you use your alignment sticks
Hi Mike, I use them in a lot of drills. Such as putting them in my belt loops to help with improving sequencing. They are a great teaching aid also as they make it clearer to the viewer to see which way the shoulders or hips are moving. Cheers
I try to avoid the crunching rib cage feeling as much as possible.
If that’s works well for you and it’s producing good results then definitely keep doing it
So how do you do this without dipping your head to much on backswing?
Hi Peter, it's okay for the head to dip a bit in the backswing. It will then dip a bit more at the start of the downswing. If you feel it's dipping too much, ensure your trail leg is straightening a bit to encourage a better turn. Cheers
I really REALLY need to incorporate this lead shoulder down move into my swing but I’m one of the ones that hits it fat doing the drill, but I also end up SHANKING the ball loads more while trying to do this drill! Feels like my whole center of mass moves forward in front of the ball and toward the ball getting closer to it. I think this drill could do wonders for me if I can get it right. Any suggestions on my problems with it? Thanks!!
Hi Kevin, I'd say if you focus on getting more rotation is really key for you. Also, don't forget the swallowing aspect of the club in the downswing. The mass will move forward but should recentre as you get closer to impact. It's not unusual to hit a lot of fat shots when doing this for the first time. It will take a number of repetitions to get it right. Check your set up as well. I've got a video coming out this week that will help you with that. Cheers
Maintaining left side bend a bit longer in the downswing will do the trick. Impossible to open the shoulders enough with right side bend.
Yes, good point Scott. Cheers
how do you get the right side bend without lifting up of the left shoulder?
Hi Byungjoo, you will have to lift the left shoulder at some point, it's impossible not to with the right side bend. The key is to start the downswing feeling the left shoulder low first. Cheers
How do you know if your
left shoulder is low enough?
Hi Andrew, there's no magic amount it needs to go down as it's different for all golfers. I'd say if at present, your left shoulder it raising up too quickly you'll need to feel it going down even though ... exaggerate it. The left shoulder only goes down for a split second, so it's a quick movement before rotating up and behind you. For you, it may work to feel it moving only a couple of inches, it just depends on your current swing tendencies. Hope that helps. Cheers
I’m the opposite where I go too much down toward the ball and i end up digging huge holes. So should i actually lean back more?
Hi Shane, yes that's very unusual. You could try that and play around with how much you need to move back and find a happy medium. Look at how much you are rotation also in the downswing. Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid I have a huge rotation, I’ve been told I rotate way too far
@@Hittingitsolid yes I’ve never seen anyone have the problems I do. I have to hit off a tee to stay away from the ground. I’d intee the ball 4 inches high I still dig way deep in the dirt. 2 years of the same thing. Only thing I can do is try to jump up away from the ground at impact .
@@shanedeel2 Okay, it seems very usual. I'd have to see your swing to be sure exactly what's going on. Cheers
@@Hittingitsolid I uploaded a short video
This move allows you to hit down and compress your irons and most importantly not hit fat and thin shots.
Yep, it sure does
Sure way for shanks
No, that hasn't happened to me.
Nothing found significant sir..
Was there something you didn’t understand?
What are you talk about? This is huge considering most Ams slide too much, raisie the Lft shoulder too early, stall and dump the club on the ball, no way then to rotate through the shot…. But I guess this is insignificant 😉
Much too technical to help anybody play better golf. Can’t you pros make things easier?
No worries
