Do you want to get easy rotation in the
golf downswing like that, keep watching? When you do these moves
getting rotation in your downswing is really easy in fact it is effortless. If
you have a look at the golf swing let's start off with the backswing. First
thing will happen as I take the club back I will get what's called left side bend.
So you'll see i've got this nice bit of tilt on my shoulders pointing roughly
somewhere down some way down towards the golf ball or just above it, so i've got
that tilt. Now as I make my downswing I need to reverse those
positions around that left shoulder is low as I make my downswing
I need to get that right shoulder low. Now for you to make an effortless, easy
rotation in your golf downswing so when you need to do two moves.
And these are bending
moves and i'll show you this from a couple of different angles. So i'm
standing over the ball here first thing you need to do
is you need to bend down down towards the golf ball and you'll
see as i do that i get rotation
without even thinking about it just happens naturally
the second part of this is getting right side bend so i talked
about that left side bend in the back so when you need to get
right side bend and that's where this right shoulder feels
lower to the ground at impact so
from here we go we're bending straight down and then
right side bend and when you look at the the down swing
like that rotation becomes effortless it's
just happens as a natural consequence of just doing those two moves so from face
on we make our back swing
we bend down right side bend
okay towards the camera got our back swing
we bend down right side bend
two moves that make rotation your golf swing super easy where most golfers go
wrong when it comes to rotation the downswing they typically will get to the
top and they'll just turn their upper body
and they miss out that forward bend stage of the golf swing so if you can
imagine this golf ball is on the ground now if i
go to the top and i just turn my upper body the only
way i can get this club down to the ball is to extend my arms use a lot of hand
and arm movement to flip at the golf ball now if i turn
just like this it's going to bring the club from the outside a lot of the time
or most of the time you'll have an outside in swing path hit
a lot of slices a lot of pulls and you just will not be consistent you
might hit the odd good shot or even have the odd good round but you'll never
truly be a consistently good golfer so this might it might even work
in the principle when you're talking about baseball for example whereas the
ball is coming at you from up there rotating like that is fine because
that's where our golf ball that's where the baseball is and you can strike it
but our golf ball is on the ground so rotating
just like this on its own will not do you any good you need that
forward bend we need that forward bend
and then the right side bend to deliver that club down to the golf
ball and when you do that that's where consistent golf comes in
that's where you start shallowing it and that's where you can start
middling the golf ball a lot more consistently here's a drill you can
practice to improve your rotation in your downswing and i think
when you practice this and get really good at it this is going to be a real
aha moment in your golf swing because you're not going to
be standing up you're not having to extend your arms to get the golf ball
you're not going to be hitting a lot of those thin shots or toe shots or big
slices you're going to find yourself
coming down to impact like this and striking the golf ball a lot more
consistent now this works for irons drivers hybrids
fairway woods works for every club in the bag so
let me show you an easy drill i'm just going to do this in stages you're going to be going to the top of
the back swing we're going to pause here that forward
bend and you're going to do a couple of pumps
then you're going to do right side bend and strike the golf ball so that's the
progression i want you to do and this will embed this into your body so
let's do one i'm gonna go to the top
forward bend a couple of pumps and through
that's a drill i want you to practice as often as you can because
this will build the movement patterns into your golf swing
you'll find you'll start striking the golf ball a lot more consistently and
you won't be you might be standing up like this and
really having to extend to hit the golf ball
so all it is forward bend
right side bend two things you need to remember it's
going to improve your ball striking out of sight now important video for you
coming up i want you to watch because this is talking about how to stop standing up in the golf
downswing goes into a bit more detail but you
combine this video with that one you're going to play some fantastic golf so
i'll see you on it it's coming up.
