HOW TO STOP SLIDING IN THE DOWNSWING 

Thanks Robert 👍👍

Thanks Hitesh

Thanks Helgi

Thanks Wilson

Thanks Kevin

To stop early extension on downswing: . Left shoulder starts down & forward as fall to left side, squat . Right hip & knee go towards target, not out . Pull the Left hip back behind you Early extension is the opposite of that…

@@warrenwhite9085 ..your comment seems to fix my sliding into reverse C shape which I don’t like, I’ll be writing your advice down, cheers

Thanks Graham

Thanks Steven hope the practice goes well 👍

Thanks and hope it helps

Thanks Elliot

I’m the same. I stand over the ball saying ‘don’t slide, don’t slide’. Then hit it and slide every time 😂

Thanks JMac

Would love to Matt, i hope I get the chance one day 👍👍

Awesome, thanks Mike 👍

Hi Vincent, yes left knee is key to this move, rotating it correctly will certainly help

Hi Justin, very difficult to say without seeing the swing but i would say that you are on the right lines here and everything you say makes sense, tall at the finish is always a good thing

Thanks Pat, this could be a great video! hoping the snow that we have melts and i can get out and film a response to this

Hi Aly, Thanks for the comment, currently under around 6" of snow but when i can get out to film again this could be a good topic. Thanks

ChrisRyanGolf Thanks. Hope you get over the snow☃️

Left shoulder should be under your chin at the top, then left shoulder down and out towards the ball to start

Mark Kirk yeah please do a video on this. Ben hogan recommends it in his 5 fundamentals book

I play with left foot open and a bit of open stand, I could tune my buckle to target easier and no pain in my knee at all. For me it feel very natural

I've started to do this to encourage better hip rotation but for me, it's no guarantee. However, it certainly appears to give more freedom to move the hips out of the way relative to straight feet. Good luck (though hopefully by now you've licked this one!). Cheers

Yes most golfers have a little, I’d say 6 inches is around average 👍👍

Scott Taylor I’ve noticed that too.. but pressure shift is different than slide though

Same

Thomas Garrett 100%

Try to bring your pressure on your left heel (at the beginning of your downswing) by pushing your left hip backwards (stright). Dont think about to "turn" and do not stretch your left foot too early

Hey Terrell, thanks for watching and appreciate your comments and views, there are no rights or wrongs in golf, which is why it is so great to discuss and debate. However, I do have to disagree with many of these points. I can almost 100% guarantee you that if a golfer who sways has a greater understanding of how to move better, they will still sway! Also bio mechanically we know that the lower body influences the upper body, so focusing your attention in the upper body is unfortunately gong to have limitations if the lower body does not function somewhat correctly. I’m certainly not suggesting that what I teach is better than anyone else, the correct way for everyone or the fix to all bad golf, but I have been coaching for over 20 years, have studied both the golf swing, the body and maybe more importantly, learning styles which has enabled me to get to the point I am at today and coach the way I do 👍
