I started doing the 60/40 on the lead leg 2 years ago. Works like a charm. Combine that with my 2 favorite swing drills that has done wonders for my ball striking: The split hand grip drill. This drill is great for back swing and down swing feels. Also swing path feels. The swing fast and stop hard drill. The best impact and post impact drill out there. You have to work at these drills and keep working at them. No secret there. What you put in is what you get out.

Excellent stuff, G3! I am 68 years old, and have been hitting behind the golf ball my whole golfing life. No one - pros, scratch golfers, friends, NO ONE has explained it like this! I've paid thousands of dollars for lessons and training aids - still beating balls, posting up on my right side, and hoping for better results - I think I've now got some hope. I'll be at the range later today, hopefully, and work towards this - it IS a paradigm shift from everything I've learned! I'm in! Other tips? What else you got?!? What else is there in golf?

Interesting parallel - also 68 and that’s been my problem, for the 2.7 years I’ve tried to play. I hit on part of this by random chance playing this week - the keeping weight on the left during backswing - but didn’t realize what was actually happening so didn’t capture it into a habit. I expect your third point is part of the rest of the solution, and will see what I can do with that next range session. Thanks!

@@Gilesgillgolf well, a quick mat and range session in the garage was positive. I worked on the thoracic extension a bit - I think I was keeping my head down at address to keep my sight line above the bifocal line, and when I turned, it took my head to the trail side. That may be a challenge that might not be easily solved without a distance monofocal lens. However I was able with a little straining to keep the left eye on the ball and not involve the bifocal line (if I cross that, I’m hitting the ball on faith alone!). That and staying conscious of the left leg weight made it easier to scuff the mat in front on practice swings. I tape my club face to see contact, and I put a microfiber washcloth on the mat about an inch behind the ball and step on it to seat into the mat (if I don’t, the wind moves the cloth). Out of 15-20 balls, only one hit in the washcloth enough to pull it any, and one other caught the edge and wrinkled it a bit. So my % fat shots was down. I had several (5-7) shots on the blade edge or just first groove, but the rest were about right. It’s promising. Thanks for the video and explanation!

When I first watched your video, it seemed that your explanation of what thoracic extension was (at 5.55) would lead to a reduction in ‘forward’ tilt (i.e. the tilt forward at the hips you start off with at address). However, in trying it, it seems that ‘sideways’ tilt remains (inclination of the hips and shoulders toward the ground at the top of the backswing) but I need to work on my flexibilty!

I started recently watching your instructional videos and questioned how much pressure was moving to your trail side? It seemed to me that you were emphasizing pivot to increase depth and not mentioning or demonstrating any weight transfer.

I'm talking 8 strokes lower than my average score (I have a GHIN HC and have played 39 rounds this year so I know my stats). Not gonna lie, felt a little weird but after doing it wrong for so long, of course it's going to feel weird. The biggest change was your thoracic extension tip at 5:56. I was so focused on "loading the left side" and could never figure out how to get back to the left side effortlessly. Sorry for the long comment but hoping the YT algorithms get you more views.

Yes. Practice in slow motion. Be patient in transition! Setup with55%-60% on lead side. Left hip goes down right hip goes up on way back. Let your lower body lead by 3-6 inches forward of where it was at address! Then turn. Of course the forward and turn are happening simultaneously at full speed but you need to slow it down at first. I practice this with a lacrosse ball and my 8 iron. Yeah its pretty heavy but will ingrain the feeling of lower body leading or you will injure yourself!!!

No it’s just classed as having a centred pivot

Thank you. The hard part seems to be is on the backswing, the lead hip comes back towards the ball quite a bit, so how do we get it back open on the downswing so quickly? Do we put pressure on the lead toes, ball or heel of the lead foot?
@Gilesgillgolf
Жыл бұрын
Pressure goes to the ball of the lead foot in backswing, then you push into the lead foot as you finish the backswing and start the transition. After that you push out of the ground and get the rotation part from there

Do you put that same pressure in the left foot if you're using a driver? Is putting pressure into the left side the same as putting more weight in the left side at address? Wouldn't that lead you to hit down on the ball with a driver?

Driver you’ll be 50/50 and no because right side bend and a good swing plane helps you hit up

As usual Great Instruction. Question: when we have draw biased pattern then having club path to left by practicing this can't develop? By maintaining that pattern. Or the fix is changing and neutralizing the pattern is key. And can have both curves easier.

I know the internet has been waiting for my update so let's get right to it. Shot 4 strokes lower than my 2023 average. Would have been even lower if not for two blow up holes (it wasn't the beers, I promise). I had way fewer misses to the left due to my old coming over the top and the face closing at impact (had a couple but old habits die hard). You have a new fan from Dallas but if I ever find myself outside of London, I'll look you up.

Shanks. Sharks. Very scary until you understand them. #1. Do not open the clubface on the takeaway. #2 do not keep the left arm suck in to the chest! #3 Must be loose in the shoulders and arms! #4. Think target more than anything else!#5 release the entire body post impact. #6. Do not cup the wrist at the top unless you have the tempo of Fred Couples. Yes I have encountered the S.H.A.N.K.S!

think of how you would swing a lighter kettlebell back and forth. You'd stay fairly centered, but the loading would precede the weight coming back at that leg. So loading is more about force down than shifting the center mass.

Shifting a kettle bell is about weight shift not loading. Loading is all about applied force on the golf club and wrist mechanics
