Here's Why You NEVER Actively TURN Through IMPACT | Slingshot Drill 

Thanks for watching!!! Hope you come back and join us for more.

Thank you Patrick. That’s right, start small, work the movements and bring it up to speed at home before you go try to rifle golf balls on the range. Thanks for the nice comment. Much appreciated.

Always happy to help!!! Thank you for the great comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for the kind words. Remember, start small and stay disciplined. Then as you get connected to the movements, challenge yourself to add a little more to the mix and when you start hitting balls, do not go into kamikaze mode and try to bash it. Allow speed to come back to the swing gradually. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions along the way.

Thank you for the kind words! Remember, you can come sign up, go through the consult with me where I sit down with you live and go through the swings and your entire plan before you start your journey. Our members LOVE this part of the process as it’s very much needed. If you don’t like the plan or you have any doubts, I’ll refund everything back to you. I dont want to be misleading or create an environment like so many do, and tell you it’s going to be easy to fix. We need to look at the entire picture and layout your plan and then dial in the plan as you move forward. Let me know if you have any questions at all and take your time and absorb as much as you can. I’ll be here when you’re ready:)

@@MyGolfDNA Chris - Thank you for that response! Started repetitions from this video today (300/300). I love and learn best through repetition, particularly low and slow. It is exactly how I train/mento in my industry, ironically. We will be syncing up quite soon, I feel. What this video presents is very straight forward yet so vital because it is all in the strike zone. Nobody has presented this to me in this fashion, yet (wow) it is imperative to learn the most important aspects in this fashion. Thank you sir! 🤟

This move should actually keep stress off the spine. Make sure you’re not deadlocking your body back at impact when the arms work past the body. Allow the body to follow the arms into finish as the release finishes.

Thank YOU for the support! I very much appreciate you Tony. Hope you’re kicking some butt with the release stuff.

Thanks for the kind worlds and you can play golf from 9-3 swings for sure. Generally speaking, people will hit the ball just as far as they normally in full swing because the quality of the sequence and contact is so much better than in full swing. It takes discipline to take a bunch out of it and use it on the golf course. I would suggest you use this drill as a building block, staying committed to perfect practice and then gradually add more width and rotation back to the mix. If you find the quality starts to deteriorate, then back it down again and keep challenging yourself periodically. Ideally, we want to get to a full turn in the future to help keep the speed up but not at the sacrifice of hard work that leads to better ball striking. Hope that helps and let me know if you have any further questions.

@@MyGolfDNA Your advice is sound. My problem stemmed from making that 90 degree shoulder turn and losing my upper body stability during the pivot back. Much easier to retain that needed stability (less head lateral movement off the ball) with a smaller pivot in the backswing (shoulders turn 45 degrees and a bit) and then shift and turn in the downswing. Makes it so much easier to land in front of the ball with irons and hybrids and to more consistently hit my woods and driver. To each his own I guess. I am over 80 now and do not have the flexibility I once had. Sometimes following good advice (ninety degree shoulder turn) can be too much of a good thing for any one individual.

Totally agree! I always want to take a look at how much rotation is going to be optimal for a student. I have plenty of older students where 60-80 degrees is there limit. The hard part is making sure we balance the swing shape with enough depth and then make sure we are producing as much leverage through lag as we can without it putting the swing into a whole bunch of timing! If you’re seeing good results with the shorter turn then go with it. Most people will end up adding small amount more back at subconscious level over the course of practice.

Thank you 🙏. You need to support the club at some point in the takeaway. I’m actually working to maintain a little more extension early on to keep the face from getting shut caused from the trail wrist hinging to much. I want my students to minimally support the club during the backswing. The new video coming out later this week will discuss this. If It doesn’t help, let me know and I’ll further discuss the best practices.

The lead shoulder has to be slightly higher than the trail shoulder at impact. We just want you to try and keep it down as much as possible as a lot of students get too much secondary spine tile (shoulders leaning way back) at or before impact.

@@MyGolfDNA So you *are* saying that if you tilt the entire spine away from the target that that results in a high shoulder you don't want.

If you’re going for a square shoulders at impact position, then yes, try to keep as much spine tilt away from the target out of the mix as much as possible. Keeping the head behind the ball when the hips shift to the lead side and clear will produce some natural tilt at impact even if you try to keep the lead shoulder down.

@@MyGolfDNA Thanks!

We found that people don't practice properly. To combat this, we offer our members exclusive 24/7 virtual lessons, during which we will hop on a live call and help them for anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. We like to consider this "emergency golf help" when you feel like you aren't getting the desired results while practicing. I hope this helps!

Keep the tension levels down in the hands and arms to let the club release otherwise you’ll be yelling “fore right”. If tou still struggle with the tension levels down, then you may want to work on some release drills first.

Right arm should start out as being a “passive” conduit that will transfer energy from the body as the right arms extends and the wrists let the club release. You can couple that back with the throw zone drill that just published about 6 weeks ago, once you get the hang of it for a little more thrust in speed.

Got it,went back and watched it,makes perfect sense. Thank you,by far the best on line instructor hands down!

Ok great! And, that's very kind of you to say and I very much appreciate it.

I'll post a YT short with the DTL views in just a few mins.

Some DTL posted in the short. See if this helps: ru-vid.com28xkYx0hjmI

I put some more DTL views in this short. I'll make sure more make it in the future videos. Check it out and see if it helps...ru-vid.com28xkYx0hjmI

@@MyGolfDNAThanks for the DTL. Big help.

My pleasure. Good luck working through the drill.

Sure. You’ll need a little more tilt at impact for the driver to help shallow it out. You can Widen the base a small amount and that should help.

Lead shoulder = shoulder closest to the target at address. Right handed golfer is the left shoulder. It’s just a way for instructors to communicate information to right and left handed golfers. Hope that helps.

Yeah he says keep the lead shoulder down at 6:03 as he’s pulling it up. A bit confusing!

The shoulders and spine will be tilted away from the target at impact. The point is to try and keep it down and allow the hips (along with the head staying quiet) to pull the upper body into the correct position. We need subtle amounts of secondary spine tilt to help shallow the swing out. I see a lot of players that create too much of tilt way too early in the downward half. Hope that helps clear up any confusion.

Not sure, when you make the turn with the club against the chest it appears that the trailing shoulder is more down than what I would call the lead shoulder on a right handed golfer. I think this is what the other people on this thread is seeing also

The lead shoulder has to come up. I want you to try and keep the lead shoulder as Low as possible. You have primary tilt to the shoulders and spine at address and you’ll have an increase in this tilt at impact called secondary spine tilt. I want students to fight off as much of the tilt as they can at first when using the hips to pull the shoulders into position.
