DON’T Turn Your Shoulders in the Golf Swing! ❌ 

We’re having a blast making these. Reminder: please post your questions in the comments. We will answer ALL of these 🙏 happy holidays 🎅

This has to be the best thing I’ve seen when it comes to RU-vid tuition. Haven’t seen this anywhere else & implemented this today & has made such a difference to my movement. Hitting it further with less effort. Don’t usually comment but wanted to come back to this & say thanks as always find your videos great but this simple explanation has made such a difference.

You boys are the bomb! I’m a 6-7 capper who recently won a buddies 6 day 40 guy golf tourney at Casa de Campo and I truly believe my success was due to things I have learned from your vid’s! In particular, the concept of late loading of the lead arm/ spiral load unload ! Was an amazing revelation for me and translated into the best driving week of my life - crushed it all week, deep and in play. Amazing! Please keep it up - learning so much about proper movement maps, use of the clubs design, and the various functions /roles of the body segments. Thanks so much! Happy holidays to you!

Your passion to teach and break down the golf swing into smaller parts creating simple maps for your subscribers / students to learn from is amazing ! Thank you for all the detail you guys put into these videos ! Happy holidays

Best RU-vid instruction by miles if you really want to understand the golf swing . Thanks again guys when my numbers come up I’m flying over for a week!

Once again i’ve got to give you guys credit. I started watching your videos about a month ago, and I’ve learned an incredible amount from you. I’ve never heard anybody talk about shoulder rotation this way, and it makes so much sense. Same thing with your videos about hip movement and clearance. I’ve been hitting the ball with a lot more confidence and positive results as a result of the knowledge I’m gleaning from you guys, and from Milo. I love your collaboration. Thank you. 😊

I’ve watched all your videos and I’ve been very close to learning your Golf swing system. The Don’t turn your shoulders lesson is the game changer. After watching this video and applying it to my swing, my ball striking has improved 100%. This video is the missing link and now I am hitting flushers. You are the Best golf swing teachers I’ve ever seen. Thank you!!!

Another gem of a video. You folks are quickly becoming a favorite to me. Your video made me realize I was swinging along my set shoulder plane which is tilted down and away from target which was giving me fits on getting on plane. Thank you so much!

Great video once again guys. Really enjoying and appreciating your content from the UK!

Awesome videos guys. Your videos got my pivot grooved. Flushing everything

Good stuff guys. I was aware of this in a way, but couldn't put it into action. Worked along with you video and it feels great Smooths out the transition yet really adds speed to the downswing for me anyway. That small circle the trail shoulder makes really shows in acceleration through the hitting area. Thanks

Another "elite" video. It is hard not to like you guys! Happy holidays.

This is gold for the frustrated slicer that has plagued me. I can see how establishing a better movement pattern will help me. Many thanks guys.

After a year it’s all starting to make sense. Hoping to get in for a lesson when I visit AZ in the next few months. Thanks lads

That was great. Thanks!

It's been a while now that I've followed you guys...ok so I turn 70 on Christmas day and play of 15, but you've given me so much hope that I can transform my swing, played today and despite not having any practice facilities, my iron play has improved enabling a front 9 of 43. Got a long ways to go bring on 2024

Great shoulder video tips. Look more relax.

Fantastic I need this thankyou 🙏

Awesome thanks so much guys

Love that video spot on

Another great discussion. Merry Xmas lads

man you guys are awesome sharing these nuanced parts of the swing . Other instructors don’t by design or are simply unaware .

Yo, I can’t wait for the masterclasses. I’m really excited to see what it’s all about. RU-vid video request 🙋 Can you make a video using a laser at the butt end of the club(ideally both ends, but…) & reveal to us how the shaft tracks in your system throughout the swing? This would be a great addition in helping us understand in even more detail. Love the channel

Wow that’s interesting…Will definitely be working on that. 👏⛳️

So cool!!! Rotating the trail shoulder first, is such a fun! I can pick up/back the shoulder as slow as I can and there’s still huge speed build up. So cool. And effortless. Swing is fun with you, thank you! Strangely, it works for putting, as well🤷🏽 Thinking about shoulder move, lines the put straight with no thinking 😃 about the put itself

I’ve been looking for you guys for 4 years.

That's a gem worth a lot of strokes. Innovative understanding of biomechanics. Wowza!

In a “secret move” video you mentioned lateral movement first and then rotation. This was a big unlock for me, creating space and helping me square the club face. In this and other recent videos, I’ve seen nothing about the lateral first move. How does it connect to these shoulder movement concepts? What should trigger the backswing? Appreciate all the content, thanks!

Wow - this is awesome! I haven't hit any balls outside as yet with the infinity swing, but while swinging indoors, I can easily keep connection with my upper arms in the armpit area. Will this produce a nice jump in my swing speed? You guys are the BEST on YT!!

Great insights!

Eureka moment. I'm a flat turn guy but had no clue what to do about it. Thanks!

I just saw your short on hickory g the tether ball to create angular momentum. I assume that is the hit you speak of?

Hey guys, I seem to be able to get the drill with the dowel, but I’m struggling when I add the club. How do you suggest that I transition from drill to club. Many thanks for your help. Andrew

Been steep for my whole life crazy. This was the last piece to the puzzle that I was finally looking for.

Best YT channel for golf instruction. I struggle a bit with lowering the right scapular… is your torso still closed to the target in that move? Merry Xmas to you guys!

Great video about not turning shoulders in the golf swing. But how does this work when you are using the driver? Thank you.

I know this is a stretch - but as a golfer and disc golfer I have to ask. The disc golf motion shares a lot of concepts with the golf swing. DG coaching is just getting started but not many true experts out there. It would be so cool to see your take/explanation of the bio mechanics happening in the disc golf throw. Paul McBeth would be a great example if you give it a shot. Love what you guys are doing.

what is the best place to go to see the options for lessons from your team? Either in person or online. the moves you describe make so much sense but I seem to miss some of the nuance that would pull it all together. P.S. Riley's excitment at when one of his students "gets" your system is very inspiring. you both are def born to teach. thanks.

So I cannot seem to get the club to drop at the start of the downswing. It looks like if I get my hands and club higher at the top of my backswing, then I can get the club to drip vertical then. Yes? I'm going to try this move and see what happens.

I know I’ve been commenting a lot on this but I see so many pros today (Hovland, Koepka, etc) and old school (Jack, Hogan, Snead, etc) moving the hand path in the over the top motion. Not really sure if the shoulders you are demonstrating here have a direct effect on the hand path but it looks like it does when TJ demonstrates it. I’ve been having success moving more the Victor Hovland way with straighter ball flights and fade b/c the path is getting left which I like…the key is to make sure the club is shallowing. Love this page and content!! Thoughts?

Is left arn connected to chest throughout the swings and leaves chest after impact?

RU-vid Day, my favorite day ❤

Fantastic, just emphasise, that the left shoulder, needs to lower at the start of the downswing. Also, the right hip needs to be deep and deeper on the takaway 😊

Great job simplifying the turn, so does the first move away is started by my right shoulder while everything else stay in sync?

Does the hit involve right arm right side apply active force or is it a passive reaction to the club swinging? Great video by the way

This makes a lot of sense, finally! Somebody puts it so I can understand, I’m 57 and my whole life I’ve struggled with over the top which I do just like you said not to for year and now lower back problems have arrived, so I translated this as opposed turn it’s more tilt up? The club needs to go up then around? So I took this to range today and wow what a difference I wasn’t getting stuck and which forces me over the top, and club came through the zone so much easier and slices and pulls were almost gone completely! So I’m turn to achieve this I brought the club more up as apposed to around!! Is this correct? FYI I’m a 6 handicap that has survived on being able to get up and down! This may have changed my life! Am I correct?

I understand your moves for the right shoulder. Struggling how the left shoulder works. Often in your videos I hear up, back and away. Is this left shoulder move a passive force or and active pulling force? Or??

Very nice...It is ok to just concentrate on the back shoulder moving and not worry about what the front shoulder is doing?

Is the vertical component shrugging the trail side scapula? Or is it more scapula retraction on a more vertical plane?

At the 8:52 mark, if you are hitting level into it, what other moves can I feel to compress the ball better?

Can you list the sequence of backswing? I have a trouble in lifting right shoulder when setting up strong grip (right shoulder lower than left shoulder)

Just for clarity re vertical and horizontal. Is vertical normal to the ground or relative to the shoulders like a shrug motion? Thanks!

Does your preferred method of swinging tend to be on the lower side of the backspin? Maybe I’m hitting too flat as opposed to hitting down on it, but getting like 1.34 smash factor with 5500 backspin with my 34 degree 7 iron. Goes like 175 yards which i guess i’m not complaining, but i was hoping to be around 7000 rpm backspin.

If I started today how long would it take to change my swing? I’m a 3 handicap

Hi! Quick question. I tend to come too much from the inside at impact when I do this. I hit a nice draw but the path is like 8/9 sometimes 10 degrees inside out. Any tips for this?

I have not been allowed to touch a club (not even putting) for almost 4 months due to back surgery. I'm now clear to do whatever I want. I'd like to use this as an opportunity to improve. I'm thinking of holding off on playing and spend a few weeks on retraining at home and on the range. Any thoughts?

The asylum next? Standing on a bus stop, moving my shoulders in "infinity", totally captured by your teaching. A straightjacket would be inconvenient now that I have finally understood the importance of focusing on body movement in the golf swing. Your videos seem to be moments of epiphany. Merry christmas to you, and may 2024 be a good year for you and Elite Golf!

I know feels are individual, but do you guys feel the right shoulder starting the backswing, or what is the trigger feel for you?

Guys! Genius . My downswing move is compressing my right shoulder towards my ribs and the club falls on to the ball. Am I right ?

I’m guessing you guys prefer a shorter backswing for your system?

Finally can see why I’ve stood up in my backswing all these years despite everyone telling me not to. Left shoulder kicking out, because right shoulder heading back from the target line…. Light bulb !,

Again Money! Watch Canoe Kayak Sprint World Cup,. you get the whole package! Enjoy your Holidays Gents..

Hi guys see you at February golf school ❤

This is comedy gold. If you cannot impress them with brilliance then you dazzle them with bullshit😂😂

Guys, love your stuff, but in all your videos you refer to being over or under "the plane" and you, at least that I know of, never really identify or explain what "the plane" is. Also, does this "the plane" shift during the swing? Everyone talks about planes in the swing, what is your definition of "the plane"? Thanks, and please keep the lessons coming!

Gentlemen I think what you are teaching is brilliant. However at some point in every clip when you are illustrating the wrong way to do it gets confusing …it would be helpful to make more clear the don’t s .Again thanks for your work.

Wish I would have seen this 60 years ago. Sixty years of over the top.

Tilting is difficult bud neccesery

I agree with the instruction, but I think the title of this video is very misleading. I think what you’re saying is you don’t turn your shoulders on a horizontal plane you turn the shoulders on more of a vertical plane, but you do turn your shoulders, so therefore, the title of this video is very misleading.

"Hit me a shot" Wow!
