    Best golf video that explains how everything works. I’ve been playing golf for 25 years. Achieved a 4 handicap by cheat swinging. I’m an 8 today at the age of 57. My contact has always been poor. So I decided to make drastic changes to become a better ball striker. 3 years have gone by and haven’t broke 80. Getting discouraged trying hard but nothing. Never knew how to turn either way. Well after watching this video one time and hitting 30 min worth of range balls I shot a 77. I am so pleased to finally know what to work on. Thanks again for the greatest video ever

    I look forward to seeing more.

    Sidebend was the answer the 30 years of frustration. Last scramble I got closest to pin and we won the scramble with 80 players. I was turning my shoulders
    flat like you said with my shoulders. Thanks so much

    So many lessons I had videos & private. Spent countless hours practicing & still couldn't do it right. I've made great contact & flight but non-consistent. Lately I spent more time doing head to wall drills & now this?! Boom! You saved the day! I got it down. Now I need to do it every day & practice on the range only weekends. You are truly an amazing teacher (just don't tell my coach that) lol. A giant thanks!

  • @solaceworks
    @solaceworks 4 года назад

    When I get my irons going I guess I am doing the "lean in". I initiate the lean in downswing by almost pausing at the top where my left shoulder touches my chin (very Hoganesque) then I push the shoulder down with the chin (that's the feeling) which at the same time pushes the left knee towards the target. I am going to pay more atttention to my side bends. I think doing the "squat" and keeping my butt centered against the wall has taken care of that. I used to straighten my left leg and fall back slightly causing major pulls. I'm 66 and still dream I can be a scratch golfer and I'm getting closer thanks to you Christina.

  • @TheMaitreya8
    @TheMaitreya8 4 года назад

    Such great advice. The slight lean in part is so crucial and it gives you a place to flow your hands through. If you don’t lean in..your hands will push out too far in front of you on the down swing. Thanks for putting this out there!

    New to your site. Love the way you explain the elements of the golf swing in such a straight forward simple way. Lead with the elbow and 3 finger left hand grip to bow the wrist is really helping me finally fix those items that I e been struggling with. Looking forward to watching and learning more.

    Hi Christina as far as my lead shoulder rotating downward; for too many years my chin got in my way. Now I finally woke up and have my lead shoulder traveling towards my throat on my takeaway. Much improved so I thought I would share. Cheers

  • @sphruksawan
    @sphruksawan 4 года назад

    Great explanation on how the rotation in golf swing should be. It never occurs to me that there is a side bend at the start of the backswings! I thought there is only side bend at the moment of impact. This is really and “aha!” moment for me. I tried this for a few rounds in the past weeks and I think it really shave off 3-5 strokes from my score cards! Thank you very much for putting this video together!

  • @irnbrukidsm
    @irnbrukidsm 4 года назад

    Excellent video. Very concise description of how to get the upper body into the tight positions. Took my alignment stick to the range, no tank top for me, and used it to help my practice swings. Success...it made a difference over the 50 balls. I’m impressed. Thanks for your brilliant videos.

    Your glute activation video was money for me! Now I’m looking for everything you might have that is at all related. I have issues with early extension, balance and consistent striking with my driver and I think that glutes and ground forces may be the key for me. Thank you so much!

  • @mabblers

    That looks really good. I was told that shouldn't move from you setup position swaying to the left. Basically as you're rotating that your heel should be coming off the ground as you're turning. I'll have to add this. Thanks great teaching.

  • @MegaTubescreamer

    i get that! its creating an equal and opposing mass ,as
    the force of the clubhead increases, it would pull you
    into an off plane position ,or not maintaining the arc,
    so its the `counter balance` (reciprocating mass)👍

    @jamesbond4633 Год назад

    You're funny. No cursing the instructor only veneration. I played today and topped the ball a few times and other times hit it solid. The sitting into the back hip from another video really got me to turn my chest and create lots of space for my back swing. The missing piece was not leaning into the swing first before releasing. That is a brilliant piece of information for me to know how to correct the top. Do you have any exercises or drills you do at the course or off the course to work on the side bend for each side? The lats? Going to snow here soon so will have to work on my game indoors. Thanks from Canada!!!

  • @nicholasdemetriades9154
    @nicholasdemetriades9154 4 года назад

    Great explanation! Easiest to understand and implement. I have the tilts and sidebends down. Could never figure out how once in a blue moon would hit my 9 or 8 irons 15 yds.+ carry distance. Now when I incorporate this lean in move compression is so much better it feels like the weight of the club is being driven through the ball not at it on an angle. All the good pros have this lean in to varying degrees but when I made this move it was by accident and couldn't feel or figure out how I was doing this. Thanks to you maybe I can break par again! How is this move different for the driver? Grateful for this video. Thank you!!!!

What specific muscles cause the rotation? I can clearly see I've been doing the downswing wrong. Thanks for the really fine lesson!
