@dezzzznutzzzz He gives tips to help with simple, but effective things In your swing. If you were at all educated you would know that these things would help you. He evens uses pros to prove his points, showing their effectiveness. You can look in the comments to see the success people have.
This tip is game changer, tried it yesterday with great success. Recommend filming your swing, I realized my hands were higher on downswing than address which made me try this drill.
Great tips! He is right! At the top, you have to adjust and use your hips and lower body to power through the shot. I played Golf for 40 years and taught it for 17. I'm retired now, but at 62, I can still hit a driver 300 yards plus. No joke.
@@QuincyStandbackyup. Always take youtube golf tips with the smallest grain of salt. Everyone's "feel vs real" is always different. Go get a swing eval.
@@QuincyStandback it's just brutally honest feedback. You won't know what you need to work on until YOUR swing is evaluated, which is why I will always say take any youtube tips with a grain of salt. I'm not saying don't listen or try any of these RUclips golf tips out. Everyone's issues, stem from different places.
This is probably the best tip I got from a scratch golfer friend of mine. Swing down on the ball. I was lifting up a lot as if to try and guide the ball up, ultimately it would be topped lol. The club will do the work, swing down on it.
I totally forgot but this what what helped me hit my driver straight every time back in the day. Haven’t been able to replicate it for years though (only been playing sporadically)
I do the same thing - push my hips forward and stand up on which is taking me out of my posture. Squatting makes sense because it keeps you in your posture.
So many times I've been at the range and just working on contact point. My tempo is high vs. the norm so I've had to train myself to keep all my weight low and slightly behind the ball so I can hit the ball as square as possible. I'm not the most consistent golfer in the world but it's the range time that truely develops the feel of the swing. At the range you just have to max out your clubs and know where they can be safe and what not.
Perfect video and really great rip. I struggle with this. I fling my hips forward and early release Haven’t found this exact tip anywhere on RUclips. Great content.
I was just filming myself on the range yesterday and fighting to correct the same issue Grant describes: standing up and pushing my hips forward toward the ball. Super helpful!
A squad is made by inclining the pelvis around the hip rotators. This causes the upper body moved forward with the basement of pelvis cage (the lower hip)moved backward. There are two leg reactions to this, one is the legs will bend more for balance keeping, the other is the knees will opened wider because of the configuration of the femurs(thighbone) . The so called hip rotation is actually the inclining down and straightening up of the pelvis around the hip rotators, at the right sequence, of course. On the other hand, if we don't focus on the motion of the pelvis, it would not be able to keep the head at the same position before impact, as Min Woo Lee does.
As a former baseball player this helped me a lot when I started golfing it’s kinda the same movement we were always taught in baseball that all the power comes from the hips
i can’t implement this feel without chunking the ball. would you recommend moving ball position away from the left heel? i have the swing path i can’t stop “humping” the golf ball 😂
I'm having issues with this currently, keep hitting the shank. Watched some videos back and im just not turning enough or giving myself the room. Gonna retry get the muscle memory down for it. Is my understanding correct though, so we sitback but by impact have we already pushed back up? So its a case of down then pushing off the ground so ur left leg is straight by impact? if that makes sense
I used to have a little of this feeling but I attributed it to firing the right side. I would get monster distance but would like all things try to do more and more and would ruin it. Now maybe I was onto something but with this thought maybe I can harness it. Thanks a million!
Swing 3 clubs at once ! Then 2 clubs then 1. I cannot stress this enough. Swing a weighted club or 3 clubs before every warmup/ round. I cannot stress this enough
Thank you! Great tip and fixing early extension is priority #1 right now. Could you share any tips/feels on how to blend this concept with ground force as well as te-centering?
For me... *when I "sit" well like what's demonstrated here, but end up chunking it, its usually because I'm not using enough lead leg drive. I remind myself to push HARD through lead leg on downswing. Maybe that would address what you mean by ground force. *And (again, for ME anyway), as far as re-centering goes.. if I'm off-center it's usually because I kept legs/hips to stiff and shifted laterally towards trail side during takeaway, instead of rotating. So I then make sure I'm rotating instead of lateral shifting, I think about pushing my trail-side back pocket towards imaginary wall behind me on takeaway and then basically starting my downswing with combo of the "sit" demonstrated here and pushing the back pocket of my lead-side towards the "wall" behind me (and including the hard lead leg drive). -Another potential though here: belt buckle stays centered, minimal side to side movement, belt buckle makes a smiley-face shape through swing ")" up/down/up, while staying centered. *The drill where you cross your arms in front of you, over a club held parallel to the ground and make slow/deliberate swings (while getting clubhead close to the ground on downswing and SQUARED by impact point), also the drill where you hold a ball between forearms during a swing are 2 drills that help me focus on rotating hips and shoulders instead of being too stiff and over-using arms I'm no pro by any means, but sometimes just coming across queues that "click" with you are helpful so I thought I'd share what someone taught me
I watched another video interviewing Grant on his swing and what’s EXTREMELY important - is when he goes into the backswing he rotates into his right leg going up and back which helps set the stage for keeping your rear end back on the downswing. If you miss that component and only push the rear back on the downswing you’ll be out of sync
I don't agree - and I have had issues with early extension -- You are NOT waiting to get to the top of swing to push down. You start pushing down as you shift your weight forward which starts happening when the club is half way back in swing. YOU DON'T SQUAT at the top of your swing. My down swing begins with my front right toe Pushing down. Like when you jump. Imagine if you were going to throw a bag of sand down the fairway - that is the motion. You DON'T WAIT to Squat. Watch when Rory begins to squat.
This is exactly what I’ve been working on and it works so well throughout the bag. Please don’t let my golf buddies watch this video I want their money, 😂
I feel as if my right hip extends back as my left shoulder points to the ball, in the backswing. Then I do the opposite in the downswing/follow through… left hip extends back while my right shoulder points to the ball
As a PGA Professional I disagree with you. What Grant says makes sense. But you're saying to feel like the left hip pushes back and turns. This will cause spinning out with the lower body and getting even more stuck. hitting push slices. Or saving it enough with the hands but then hitting over draws and hooks. It's important to push down without manipulation of the hips. They need to stay connected to the swing. So keep your right knee from moving around and towards the ball too early. Rather feel a slide of the right knee towards your left.
Yes push down in the backswing but push up with your left leg in the follow-through. The longest hitters leave the ground with the left foot on the push.
@@Tenniscaltobelle The concept is to bend your left knee as you complete the backswing and then straighten and push off the ground as you follow through
When my swing feels perfect this happens naturally but being a golfer for 1 month it rarely does happen.. biomechanics of golf is easily my favourite part about it
But you don't have to do this to keep the right hip from extending out. The left butt cheek just goes straight straight back , that causes the right hip to go right down the line. The right hip just replaces the left . The move in this video is nit for 99% of golfers out there .
I struggle with a lateral slide on the downswing. Lead knee buckling and crazy hip sways. I’ve only had the same lesson like 20 times. Someday I’ll get it 🤣
I submit an easier less complicated approach to this complicated movement. Bump to the lead side and let your arms fall. If you do this movement without getting to your lead side you will struggle mightily. If you shift the pressure even just slightly you will turn without any effort. What Tiger is demonstrating is a feeling and it’s obvious to see he does not do this in his swing.
Well said. We built a foot orthotic insole about to launch that helps with foot, leg, and hip rotation. So that when you squat like this, the foot internally rotates properly. Testers hit it longer, straighter and with more spin and ball speed. Check us out. JusGo golf. Love your tips.
For some reason when I do this I get stuck in the back and I get late somehow which gives me a chunk, or I’ll try and get quick to compensate and I’ll top it
Hi Slumpy, love your tips but, i feel this one is a step too far for nearly all amateur players. It is one of the really complicated moves to perform and get right, and it is a fairly new concept used by the big hitting pros trying to get from 300yds to 325 yds in their drive!
I tried "Pushing down and back" today during practice with my 4 iron, and do you want to know what happened? I duffed so bad that my shaft snapped, my 4 iron head flew back towards the seats, over them, ricocheted off the ball picker fender, and flew back towards the guy in front of me, landed 3 yards short of the 50 yard pin, all the while whistling through the air. Oh, I forgot to mention, my shaft lean was so great that when the shaft snapped, my knuckles almost hit the ground. What a stoopid tip!
I disagree. This move takes so much practice and timing and talent that most amateur golfers wont be able to do it at all. And the extra yardage you gain if you succeed to do this consistently is not worth it as an amateur. Put thoose practice hours on chipping, pitching and putting instead.

@@williamwood7 exactly!!👍
As you forcefully straighten your left leg, the force travelling up your femur actually pushes your hip rotation around, helping massively with power.

Love your vids! Tbh I expected your yardages to be longer. Is it because of range balls or just that you have a smaller frame?
Range balls do play a big part! It’s controversial though cause you hit off the mats which you’d get a better contact but the balls are shit…..
Props for both the wisdom and the editing. The slowdown of the backing track to accentuate the “wrong motion” 😂

This is such a hard thing to learn once you're used to only using "twisting" power. I wish I knew this from the start.
def a hard adjustment! For me its the feeling and timing adjustment. I can tell when I get it because my iron shots are pure and they just take off
@@flnative7553maybe 7 iron below but above that this is horrible so touhh to hit long irons loosing height like this😊
Help.. confused ? No twist ?
This is simply best explanation. Of course needs range practice to get it in place.
Looks so easy, but so hard to execute!
WOW... TOTAL GAME CHANGER.
This is by far your most helpful tip yet
With 400+ other videos I’ve posted??? 😅 haha, thanks man appreciate it!!
@@golfslump no doubt, I’ve had long standing issues with finding out how to turn and go down

Do you have a link to that video? Or the title?
Turn back, left hip that I was looking for.
If you threw discuss or shotput in track, it is the same movements as the spin throw. I am just finding this out and my game has improved.
Is that every club in the bag, or just driver??

Gotta make sure your club/wrist positions are on point. Otherwise, you're just gonna shank the ball
Gotta say I put this to the test yesterday and my ball sticking was amazingly much better!
Literally just felt this at the range this morning. Cool to hear confirmation that it’s something real haha
Just popped my back trying to imitate this in the bedroom 😂
Pelvic flexion!
Very handy.
Gives you more room and you will hit the heel / shank far far less.

Virtually the same “hip hinge” as in an elite level baseball swing. Baseball/Golf lower half mechanics virtually identical
I just did this on my simmy and I added 10 yards on my 6 iron. What a move.
Yes push down in the backswing but push up with your left leg in the follow-through. The longest hitters leave the ground with the left foot on the push.
When you say push down is this the hands or over all weight, like squatting.. it seems this wud throw the impact off, tendency to chuck it

Is that Royal Park, Melbourne?
Vertical drop, horizontal tug
Thanks Larry 👍
As someone who is relatively new to golf, six months in, does this apply to only drives or is it useful for all clubs
All clubs.
This problem doesn't happen for everyone but it definitely does for me.
I have been trying to figure out this movement. Will be trying this out more today.
All I think about is left shoulder, right shoulder push
My coach has been trying to get me to do this for years but I keep telling him that I don’t bend that way
omg Royal Park! my home course 😍
Why am I seeing this in bed currently exhausted from playing 9 holes in hot sun
yes
We were wrong about Charles this whole time! He was just practicing
Instead of that weird ass movement, bend both knees and just pop up through it. But you're gonna have to push laterally too.

feel vs real 🔥🔥🔥 good post
Body club timing and going and getting the ground is the most natural thing if people just stop overthinking it. Humans are born experts in gravity.
Charles Barkley was struggling with this ♥️
This is one of the hardest things to master, over 90 percent of golfers do not do it. And thus!!! lol
So many thoughts when setting up, I’m glad the starters give us like 12-15 mins between tee times 😂😂
This is one of my 5 swing thoughts 😂
Every time i do that it results in an absolute shank
