Great video Jonathan, so clear and easy to understand. I wish you were located in the US so I could get lessons directly from you. You are the best coach on YT by far.
Good stuff 👍🏻 Another mistake I see, that I’ve been working on lately: Since we play the ball forward and the right hand is below left, the left shoulder is often OPEN. You can see your feet, knees & hips, and are easier to square up, but the shoulders can still be OPEN. Also, I notice when, once setup, if you take one last look toward the target, that also can OPEN the SHOULDERS. This often results in a PULL or a SLICE. I have been focusing on getting the shoulders square (or even slightly closed, given real and feel are two different things) and I’ve been driving the ball better than ever. p.s. I have the opposite problem (from “hitting driver like an iron”) I hit driver fairly well, but sometimes struggle with irons. I think I hit level or maybe a bit UP with irons (as I do with the driver) and struggle to hit DOWN into the ball with irons. Please do a complimentary video (“Hitting irons, not like driver”) 😏 Keep up the good work.
Seriously, you are by a large margin the best video instructor I've ever watched. You must have been an education major turned golfer because the way you are able to confer information is far beyond anyone on youtube. No one else is putting out information they way you are. You and I have fixed my swing. It means a lot to me so thank you so much for your hard work. I'll be contacting you for video lessons.
Hey JKM! I normally never comment on RUclips videos, but I just had to tell you that after I watched your video, I could immediately see a few of my fundamental errors in my struggles with driver. I played golf this afternoon and implemented your tips and the ball flew. Thank you SO much!!!!! You rock!
Thanks, I was always concerning about left shoulder going up but it seems like natural for left shoulder to go up. What I am lacking is moving weight forward and the finish. Thanks
This is the best how to video on the net,other videos i have watched don't explain it fully enough .Been a short hitter with Driver my whole life because weight shift to lead side too slow and don't have full extension of left arm at impact all beautifully explained.This will be a game changer if i can replicate instruction.Many thanks Michael Scotland.

Jonathan, another great and timely video. This is a current error that I have been struggling with. I can’t wait to put these changes in to practice and play. Very grateful for your insight!
Jon, here's a pro tip for you, to help grow your channel. you are clearly a great technical golfer and instructor. but you need to smile, at least once or twice during your videos. be less of a cyborg. it would go a long way.
I keep hitter bathe ball to the right so much that I change my stance to off set hoe far right the ball goes. I still practice to stand correctly but because of the ball going right it seems like the only thing I can do to get the ball to go in front of where I’m standing I move my stance to compensate and it off set the ball and I end up getting the ball closer to where I want it to go But I’ll try everything you said in this video and see how that works for me.
Nice thank u, harder to get that finish with driver bc all the other earlier points u brought up, tilt back etc... another video about proper weight/pressure transfer to a good finish with driver. Much easier with irons for me to get to proper finish.
Jonathan, I’ve only been to the drying range maybe 4 times. I can actually hit with my driver at 125 yards and fairly straight, we’ll more than my friend who’s been golfing for years. Thank you for you content, they work as you instructed!
well I think both have their strong points but I think that for a beginner following a system is always best so that there is no guessing or there is a lower chance of getting lost in information. I would say that if you can follow stack and tilt for fundamentals that would be best.
no johnathan but yes, because the point of the drill is to promote a body turn instead of just pulling/getting disconnected with the arms. that being said you might find that you don't need as big of a turn for your irons. some people play 3/4 swings for irons and never do a "full" swing
its not the hands that go back its the shoulders that turn. go back as far as your body can turn and don't reach back further then your hands.. that's how people get their hand disconnected.
I’m a 61 year old struggling golfer and I’ve watched on YT so much crap, so called instructors telling you to practice with medicine balls, blocks of wood !! Badminton rackets, sheets of ply wood !! No wonder I’m crap!!!! Now the only one I watch is this guy, forget the muppets out there just tune in to this bloke and do as he expertly explains. My golf is amazing now although I’ve still got work to do, I shall keep watching your excellent teachings, thanks again mate, Ican’t thank you enough 👍🏻
The way you explained everything was great! I have been doing a couple of those things without realizing what the problem was. The way you explained things made perfect sense to me. It's exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Definitely taking this video to the range. Thanks for your excellent tutorials, Jonathon. Pleased to subscribe.
Very in depth analysis, but at the same broken down in a way that its very easy to understand! Well done!👏
1 tilt shoulder
2. turn torso as well
3. impact position, upper body has to behind the lower body
4. weight transferred after hitting ball
Jonathan. Don't show peoples bad swings. Show us the proper swing!!
Must people can't see there own swing faults
Thanks. Craig

Jonathan you are the greatest i have learned so much from you keep up the great work Jim chancellor in

Hi Jonathan I have been tilting more with driver. Are you saying to turn more and have less tilt???
I’ve watched a lot of swing videos… this is great! thank you.
Can you spend $20 and get a half decent mic. Those apple buds sound awful
What an excellent video. Subscribed.
Another helpful video, thanks Jonathan.
I keep hitter bathe ball to the right so much that I change my stance to off set hoe far right the ball goes.
I still practice to stand correctly but because of the ball going right it seems like the only thing I can do to get the ball to go in front of where I’m standing I move my stance to compensate and it off set the ball and I end up getting the ball closer to where I want it to go
But I’ll try everything you said in this video and see how that works for me.
I have developed tendinitis in my left arm and I’m not sure what it is that I’m doing that’s creating this problem
Thanks for the video. Does this also apply to using a fairway wood ?
Jonathan, Excellent driver technique video.
Yes thank you very much mate like your coach keep doing your good work I love
Why I always move my left food when I hit the ball with my driver can you help me please
Nice thank u, harder to get that finish with driver bc all the other earlier points u brought up, tilt back etc... another video about proper weight/pressure transfer to a good finish with driver. Much easier with irons for me to get to proper finish.
Excellent video, thanks :-)
Excellent video and coaching session 👍🏼
you are indeed superb Jonathan. Keep it up and thank you
Oh I missed this video. Need this thank you....
Jonathan, I’ve only been to the drying range maybe 4 times. I can actually hit with my driver at 125 yards and fairly straight, we’ll more than my friend who’s been golfing for years. Thank you for you content, they work as you instructed!
That’s great to hear!
Thanks! I will try these drills in my games 😅
I often feel that when I hit driver and shift to the left that the ball is now too far behind me!
Always great lessons, thank you !
Great advice thank you 👏🏻
This is a huge help for me, thank you for your time.
Awesome your a good teacher..thx
Great lesson, Jonathan.
Fantastic! Thank you so much.
awesome lesson thank you sir.
Which would you recommend between stack and tilt vs conventional ?
well I think both have their strong points but I think that for a beginner following a system is always best so that there is no guessing or there is a lower chance of getting lost in information. I would say that if you can follow stack and tilt for fundamentals that would be best.
Hey Johnathan quick question, can that take away drill be used for all clubs ?
no johnathan but yes, because the point of the drill is to promote a body turn instead of just pulling/getting disconnected with the arms. that being said you might find that you don't need as big of a turn for your irons. some people play 3/4 swings for irons and never do a "full" swing
Thank you for the tutorial
Great stuff. Thank you.
Absolutely awesome video
How far should the hands go back in the backswing?
Appreciate if u can share a video on this
its not the hands that go back its the shoulders that turn. go back as far as your body can turn and don't reach back further then your hands.. that's how people get their hand disconnected.
Thank you. I learning a lot
That backswing rotation one is often overlooked. Thanks for the content.
