This was a game changer for me. Forever, I’ve had difficulty with feeling the weight shift in my feet, hips or pelvis. This “heart move” fit well with my athletic DNA and I was immediately able to do something that has eluded me for years. Thank you.
Great series w/ Elite! This really clears up the no rotation can happen until after the lead foot transfer happens. Only one thing can happen to make this series even better is finally seeing Luke Bracke making his screen debut!
I stumbled into a similar "transition" sequence by forcing myself to keep my right shoulder/butt cheek back as long as possible, but your idea of floating has made that move so much more graceful (unforced) and powerful. I now have way more clubface stability and my divots are much shallower and on line.
Love these videos with Riley and Elite Golf School. Thanks for sharing. I stress to the golfers with whom I work is that you want lateral early and rotation late, both in the backswing and downswing. Rotation early and lateral late are swing killers. The addition of Rory and DJ on gears really amplifies the concepts. Thanks again for sharing. 👊👊
I’m wondering if the belt line needs to be more level at impact (10-19* vs 25-35* hip tilt) and how important this is. I can only get a flatter belt line at impact but not adding trail side bend. But then I add trail side bend and I’m sitting at a hip tilt of 22-30*. When I look at all the rotational players, they have incredible trail side bend but there belt line is at 10-20* tilt (many at around 16*). How does one get a flatter belt line while still getting a lot of side bend?
That is an interesting question. I see pretty good variation from tour players in this area. You need to bend from the ribs up not tilt from the pelvis.
Ha! This seems to really work! I have quite a bit of trouble shifting weight to the target side at the start of the downswing and letting the heart "fall" seems like a much easier trigger to relate to! (Based on a bunch of practice swings in the garage, LOL. But seems right).
Instead of thinking about the torso moving forward I think about a hip bump left (for right handed) at the start of the downswing - the small lateral slide left of the hips - where upon rotation can now begin. This move virtually forces the club properly into the slot. At least for me 😏
For me, I want to start the downswing with opening the hips while having momentum towards the target. If I just bump the hip left, I'm not going to open the hips, and I'll early extend. But if I focus on simply opening the hips and flexing into the ground, I'll naturally move my weight left.
@@sammyw5136 Everyone seems to have a certain swing thought/body feel that works best for them. If by “flexing into the ground” you mean that classic Snead squat I just can’t get that feel to work. Wish I could.
If it works for you great. I generally don’t like seeing the pelvis slide left without the chest because it tilts you away and can cause you to stall and flip.
Alright I’m confused. Is this a “feel vs real” thing? Because in your demonstrations you guys are squatting so far down your butt is almost touching the ground. But then when you do a full speed swing I don’t see anywhere near that much squat. Please explain
I get what they are saying but I can only consistently achieve this without getting my arms involved by thinking push laterally with the left hip. If I do this my right side bend happens automatically and the club drops into position and “slings” cleanly.
Slightly different. Dr Kwon likes the upper to stay centered and the pelvis to shift his A frame. The boys at elite like the upper to shift more right than the pelvis in the backswing and back forward of the pelvis in transition.
This all sounds incredibly advanced and complex until you realise it is the easiest and most natural way for even the beginner to start using. I know stuff.

It is very helpful for different coaches to explain the same thing.
Haha well said
There is an enticing spiritual insinuation in moving one's heart effectively. 🙂

Awesome to hear! If we can provide further help, please do reach out or join our online academy at milolinesgolf.com. Thanks for following along.
Pressure left before rotation. Best swing thought I've heard in a while
🙏
I love the heart and pressure focus. I often get the "olay" move and slide too much when I attempt lateral movement. This was really helpful.
Awesome!
You guys break it down. Awesome love it
Thanks for watching!
Great series w/ Elite! This really clears up the no rotation can happen until after the lead foot transfer happens. Only one thing can happen to make this series even better is finally seeing Luke Bracke making his screen debut!
Next week!
Great visual/feeling. Also, Milo you got dudes wandering around the compound out there!
Haha, that’s just Henry and TJ in the background. This was filmed at Elite Golf in Gilbert, AZ.

More things to work on. Love it.

So money! love this series.
Thanks for watching!
Question: Once you get to the lead side, and everything is in position, what starts the turn into the ball? is it the torso, legs, shoulders?
Yet another great video, yet again thanks👍🏻
Thanks Gerry!
Milo, how does this tie in to the squat move in transition that you talk about? Is the squat along with the pressure shift happening at the same time?
Yes the squat creates the pressure shift
I heart this video.
I see what you did there and like it.
Do you let the heart fall at the same time as floating to the honey hole? Or does one come first? Thanks.
That was exactly what I was wondering
Hi Milo .. can u think the same thought with driver ?
For sure, although there isn't as much "covering" with driver, there is a bit more extension and on a different plane given the ball is teed up.
Is this y I lost so much distance? I no longer feel I'm turning, nor getting pressure from the ground. No energy thru the ball.
I’m wondering if the belt line needs to be more level at impact (10-19* vs 25-35* hip tilt) and how important this is. I can only get a flatter belt line at impact but not adding trail side bend.

How does one get a flatter belt line while still getting a lot of side bend?
That is an interesting question. I see pretty good variation from tour players in this area. You need to bend from the ribs up not tilt from the pelvis.
How do you do this movement pattern with the driver? Do you have two swings?
That’s what I was thinking. Would you have to dive backwards to hit up on the ball?
The avatars shown are DJ and Rory and you can see they’re chests move up back and away from p6 through impact.
So if I am chunking it even if I have floated to my lead side…that means I am either pulling down on my arms or not pivoting correctly?
I’d have to see Brian, but would guess from our time together that your wrist/arm structure still gets let go and left behind.
When I do this I end up feeling stuck in my left leg and get a painful left knee. Does the first movement go into the left toes or heal? Thanks
Ideally you land left in the ball of the foot and pressure will circle back to the heel as you continue to rotate.
@@MiloLinesGolf thank you, that makes senses. I was overdoing it but getting the feel now I think!
Ha! This seems to really work! I have quite a bit of trouble shifting weight to the target side at the start of the downswing and letting the heart "fall" seems like a much easier trigger to relate to! (Based on a bunch of practice swings in the garage, LOL. But seems right).
Let me know how it performs on the range/course. Thanks for watching!

I'm still here watching and learning trying to find the honey hole . .
Haha thanks for watching

Hogan said level left
what did DJ's left leg do?
The sensor on his knee was misread for a few frames 😂
This move has gotten me an extra 20 yards
Love it!
I feel like I’m doing this but I’m catching a few heavy.
Would need to see, but this move needs to be accompanied by the right wrist conditions and turn.
This is so Dr. Kwon......
Yes, great minds are thinking alike.
Slightly different. Dr Kwon likes the upper to stay centered and the pelvis to shift his A frame. The boys at elite like the upper to shift more right than the pelvis in the backswing and back forward of the pelvis in transition.

and most natural way for even the beginner to start using. I know stuff.
Why not just turn away from the ball and not move laterally at all? You’re making the golf swing way too complicated.
Because we want to hit it far and because we’re standing on 2 legs there is always some lateral movement in the swing
Reminds me of dropping into a halfpipe. 🛹
