Do you try and turn and turn? Have you noticed iffy results despite trying to get MORE turn in your swing? Let me know below!

@lawrencekidman4033 2 года назад

‘Don’t turn your shoulders…too much’ YOU are ALL arms! I have been told this, for years. I have played off 12/13 for decades, I have been playing for 35 years. A year ago Listening to many golf professionals I thought I must learn to swing ‘Properly’, use my body, not my arms. I have tried & tried to groove a greater turn into my swing, get my right hip back, keep a flat left wrist at the top of the back swing, then my left hip back through impact, etc, etc, The result, over the last year, I have struggled with inconsistency, when I was renowned (with my shorter/all arms swing) for being annoyingly consistent! My driving now is horribly unreliable. Then I listened tonight to this instruction, and recognised my old, reliable, enjoyable swing; & I said to myself…’You know what I’m going to dump all the fancy moves, & turns, because I can’t do them; this guy knows what he’s talking about’. A half to 2/3 swing, properly executed, is far more repeatable, & enjoyable. I’m off now to sign up to his site.

Yes I do this BUT when I try to turn through the ball my lower body gets way out in front and it causes an over the top swing. Well you know what that causes... SLICE! When you do what you said in this video, how do you keep the lower body from getting way out in front and causing the over the top death move??

This might be irrelevant to most and it probably doesn't apply to anyone, but I find it interesting so I'll post it. I am a one armed golfer (right arm, RH clubs) and I essentially did exactly that first arm-driven swing the first 10 years of my life. My driver went maybe 160, spraying in all directions. Eventually I quit golf as my hcp was stuck at 25 and it would not move no matter how much I tried. Now a few years ago I picked it up again and decided to "delete" everything I knew and rebuild my swing from the ground up, literally. Now my arm is basically passive, I wind up my body massively, shift my weight well back (not swaying back of course, more a pressure shift), then I leave my arm "up there" and during that pause my weight drops back into the center and I sort of squat down and push off with my legs to kick in the hip turn and rotate my shoulders through. I went from crappy 160 sprays to hitting many fairways with up to 275 drives. And my accuracy went even almost more through the roof, my handicap 25 went down to breaking 80 regularly. The feeling now is unbelievable. Maybe my point is just: there are so many different ways to accelerate the club, maybe different people need different swings? I went from a very simple swing with terrible results to a really rather fancy and complicated swing with outrageous results. Sure it took a long time to practice and get the sequencing right but now it feels effortless and harmonic, it's become second nature and I am so glad I did this. Never in my dreams did I imagine in my 20s I could ever play like this.

FINALLY!!! Finally someone gets it! I found this myself after 3 years of a newby batting at balls. Now waiting for a rotator cuff surgery to heal. Try what he is saying with one hand and you will have better appreciation for how turning the torso and moving that shoulder high, quickly will impart tremendous speed into the club head. Now they are flying. I can't wait to get that right hand involved when the shoulder is healed.

@Ray-ur8ei 2 года назад

Alex, I've been watching your videos and many others for years now and this is such a great swing thought, "wind up". You can stand virtually still and just wind up. It does feel very powerful. Add a little weight shift, turn, and follow-through and it feels great. I've been trying to wind up by turning my shoulders and hips, but there is not that much actual wind up of the torso. Thank you.

@extrememetaldrummer1 2 года назад

Alex, spot on buddy! Everyone likes to overcomplicate, over-extend, and tell you that you have to get the golf club so far past your head. Too many swing thoughts. I'm a big guy, 6 feet, 230 and my swing is short like Rahm's. Powerful, nice and supple. My best and most purest strikes have been as a result of feeling the weight of the club and having supple arms and wrists. When you're tense and try to kill it and "turn," you lose so much distance. Thanks for this! I love following you bud!

@douglaskim7186 2 года назад

Thanks for the simple idea. You deminstrated with 7 iron. It looks fantastic. What about long clubs like fairway wood or driver? What kind of imagination do we need to add for longer club, because longer one eventually requires swinging more horizontally around the body?

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 2 года назад

Very kind thank you! Yes, I prefer a more fluid way of swinging rather than than making folks fit a model. Stack and tilt has plenty of merit though as all it did was focus and exaggerate some specific commonalties amongst many great swings and strike.

I agree with you on this, Alex. What you are describing here is essentially the Stack and Tilt system. I am a big fan of S and T. It has helped me tremendously with hitting the ball consistently with sufficient power and accuracy. I’m not sure why some people seem to get put off when the words “Stack and Tilt” are used when talking about learning how to play solid golf. I can only imagine that those people have not tried it themselves. But, as I said, I have and it has helped me a great deal.

@martynmantack4026 2 года назад

Yes it’s def S&T I’ve just started playing the stack and tilt way and my ball striking as improved no end

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 2 года назад

It’s similar in some ways the first swing I describe.. but a lot less rotation and no tucking the pelvis under. More free flowing. S&T was taken from many elements of good golf swings. So there is always lots of crossover.

@Bel-Canto77 2 года назад

This is an old video but i absolutely love this analogy. Ive really struggled to understand the difference between tilt, turn, rotation, use your body, how the hips work together with the body. The last part of this video what shows the winding up and the starting of a lawnmower. I cant wait to give this a go at the range. I like that you touched on stack and tilt too, im stuck between 2 styles. I was trying S+T because the whole staying still and moving round the lead leg made sense to me then i had some lessons what proved i was reverse pivoting but this then had me rotating and slightly swaying becUse i was too concious about where my weight needs to be and it lead to more inconsistency. I feel like this video could be a golden nugget for me, thank you.

I have had many lessons, every instructor tells me turn shoulders allot, etc, then every time i do this they tell me my shaft is flat and my hands are too much in the inside and i need Toe up, etc, etc. When i practice on my own and try to get toe up and shaft not so flat! my feeling is I'm picking up /lifting my arms on the back swing, exactly what your saying in this video!! but because of all the lessons i have had and listening to all the instructors,,,,,,I thought by doing this i was Totally Wrong but now i understand it is ok and works for me and many others. I hit the ball much better when doing your feel, but subconsciously revert back to turning shoulders because instructor tells me turn more with body and shoulders and No Arms!! You are the first instructor that actually tells this, just like i feel and have explained. Will definitely subscribe and watch your videos. P.S. My driver has always been my best club and guess what even after having lessons, my feeling is take away with Arms and lifting my hands higher and i get it out there consistently and on fairway.

Great vid sir ! I found this out the hard way over 40 years of golf ! TILT not TURN, I have one feel and that is on the takeaway my left shoulder tilts and my hands move parallel to my legs. This consistently gets my club in the right position at the top of the swing, then just go. The smoother your swing the better as that gels the whole swing together. I don't care about distance, it's always ACCURACY over DISTANCE for me. I don't miss many fairways now and this is key to consistency and scoring well.

I have been looking for this swing for 10 years . I am 67 and a pretty athletic guy for my age but after and accident I had to have my lower back fussed in two places . Turning in the golf swing now HUTRS ! this swing is for me . I watched the driver lesson also Thanks Dan

Great!! Hope it helps you! We have the short swing maximizer program that can help too and some others on here RU-vid

I hear you! I’ve recently “fixed” my long suffering short game (chipping mainly) by eliminating a conscious effort/intention to turn my lead shoulder on the take away but rather initiate the movement with my hands (and allow the shoulders/upper body to “follow” as a consequence). My club head stays outside my hands as a result and I no longer deliver from the inside. It’s made all the difference.

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 2 года назад

Sounds spot on to me! Keep at it

Love your thoughts I’ll try it out this weekend

@TheArtofSimpleGolf Год назад

How did it go. ?

@martingray8350 Год назад

Amazing mate amazing loved it still a lot of reprogramming but love it

@philipchan1856 Год назад

Make sense. Swing coach Pete Cowan also advocates the twisting of upper torso.

I still find the spiral tricky for golfers over 50 most of the time

@pierrepaulveilleux 2 года назад

With you, golf is different. It becomes more simple. I need to feel the things and with you the way you teach.

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 2 года назад

Thank you and that is the goal mon ami!

@mikecampbell119 2 года назад

What a brilliant video! Had some lessons a few years back from a successful pro who drilled into me that you must move the left shoulder aggressively away from the ball. This guy had a relatively short backswing and just crushed the ball. I truly enjoy your videos, there are gold nuggets in every one! Thanks.

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 2 года назад

Excellent to hear and yes, once you find a key feel or two… it can become a tenant of your own swing.

@ram0666 Год назад

@@TheArtofSimpleGolf Never heard a pro or anybody preach to turn the left shoulder aggressively. Maybe aggressively getting from starting downswing to impact but if turning aggressively is taught you need to do what the old timers say to do and that is to run as far away from that guy as you can and do it now.

Yes, you are correct. I do do and think that way

You confirmed that there is more than one way to doing the golf club. I have had 3 hip replacement, 2 knee replacement and 4 ankle surgeries. This information is a life saver for the ability to continue play the sport that I love. James L Smith- Smitty.

Very like right sided swing taught by Gary Edwin. Well explained

Not aware of that particular model but will have a look. 👍

He's playing my course. Well, he's a member and he so freaking cool. I took video for him once. I was rolling greens and he asked me. I was honored. A sweet, great guy.

I have been practicing this move in my golf swing and straightaway my golf has improved because I keep doing the same thing every time can’t believe how this has changed my golf game amazing 👍

Good stuff and glad to hear it's what you needed.

@keninglis178 2 года назад

Excellent video that makes a lot of sense especially to a senior golfer like myself. All my iron shots now feel like I’m hitting a pitching wedge - going for accuracy rather than power!. I feel more in control of my golf swing. What was ruining my golf game was that turning was destroying geometry, balance timing etc. Thank you so much. What a shame that I didn’t know this 50 years ago. Ps one thing I would mention is don’t try to make up for lost yardage by lunging forward on the downswing

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 2 года назад

Thank you kindly and hope it helps! and yes.. don't force or lunge!

Alex, when are you coming to the US? Your instruction is much easier to follow than most.

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 2 года назад

Well I am led to believe that Louisville Kentucky is in USA:)

@mitchschneider1927 2 года назад

Old golfer, bad back. Just tried in the house while watching your video. I gotta say it feels great, can't wait to try it on a golf ball. BIG 👍

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 2 года назад

Wonderful! Let me know how it goes 🏌️‍♂️👍

@windyknot2094 Год назад

Any semblance of a golf swing I had a month ago is in the rear view mirror, Im just about ready to pack it in for the season and go fishing. This instruction could be my savior. Thanks.

@TheArtofSimpleGolf Год назад

Well I’m optimistic this will help and simplify a great deal! Let us know how you get on!
