    I hit on this the other day and it was the answer. The stretch tells you if you have it right or not. Drilled rockets once I got it down. I was also hitting everything on the heal now doing this correct all dead center strikes. Your video confirmed for me how important it is. 👍❤️

    Adam ... what I really like about your videos is that we get to see *you* swing very early in the vids ... you show us great rhythm. We can feel it by seeing it. I have 2 seconds of your driver swing on my phone so I can watch it on the golf course before I hit a tee ball .. we see it, then you explain it. Nice.

    This is exactly what I was looking for. Been having a lot of inconsistency in the backswing. Confused about exactly what to look for and it messed with my head constantly which made me go out and shoot 80 one day and 100 the next. Can't wait to work on this. Thank you so much.

    Adam....After struggling for 15 years making consistent contact on my shots from the fairway and rough, you have finally opened up the "genie bottle" for my game...I watched this video and, worked on the exercises you recommend in order to develop a good side bend...I've just got done playing the second round this week after using your training exercises and concentrating on the side bend method you teach here and, I can say, without question, these have been the most consistent rounds of golf I have experienced since I have become somewhat proficient at the game...I can't thank you enough for these somewhat simple concepts and exercises...Tony Shans

    Thanks Adam. Your swing is a fine example of how the shoulders should tilt during the back swing and down swing. I really like your idea of thinking about getting the left ear closer to the ground, to get better shoulder tilt rather than trying to do something with the shoulders. I assume that the right ear does the same thing during the downswing. I guess that this feel would be similar to the old swing thought...ear/head on a pillow.

    @haruncordan4726 4 года назад +3

    Nice video. Can you expand on the shoulder tilt plane with 9 iron versus driver - does it get shallower or steeper, and if so, is there some guidance to how much. Videos online tend towards a certain club, when in reality there are subtle changes as you move through the clubs. Would be good to see the 9 to driver range as you then have both ends of the scale. Thank you!

    • @Scratchgolfacademy
      @Scratchgolfacademy  4 года назад

      Thanks Huran. You should always have shoulders pretty much perpendicular to the spine. Standing a little taller at address on longer clubs would account for any differences.

    This Sounds very much like the stack and tilt guys who are very good by the way - And understanding how the spine works ( multi functional) is a huge key of understanding how the shoulders will work- most golfers ( not all ) won’t work on drills for even 10 minutes a week - some good points well done

    Great tip Adam. I have a tendency to stand up too straight so I have been concentrating on getting the right spine angle before I do anything else. What has helped me the most is thinking about keeping my right shoulder down under my chin through the hitting zone. Tnis helps me keep that shoulder angle too.

    S.G.A., is this video essentially the backswing in a nutshell? I've been trying to figure out whether to just rotate the body like this lesson intimates, or if i should push the left hand back (a la Gary Woodland) - these are two completely different approaches. Any insight is much appreciated!

    • @Scratchgolfacademy

      Michael,
      As far as what someone 'thinks' of, or how they think of it is not so important. What is necessary is that they move/swing well. I'd suggest looking at your swing on film, then you'll have a sense of what's needed.
      I hope this helps.

    From a face on view do you teach side bend away from the target at address?
    If so, should it increase as you move from short irons to driver. It would appear that most current PGA players have very little, but is there an advantage for the older golfer.?

    • @Scratchgolfacademy

    • @davee3951
      @davee3951 4 года назад

      I didn't have that stretch either until I modified the finish of my lower body turn. I use the right side oblique muscle (trailside just above the hip) to start an inward turn and then finish the turn with a move of the pelvis toward the inside of the right knee. You can think of turning the bottom of your zipper as representing what you want to turn into your trail leg. It has been a magic move for me. I don't have to think about turning the shoulders or chest because they just go along for the ride. This move eliminates sway and ensures an on plane hip and shoulder turn.

      Kent,
      It really comes down to having a stable axis (spine in roughly the same place as viewed from face on & down line), that's all the tilt you need.
