If you're struggling to make the most
effortless golf swing it's because you're not doing these two things, let me
show you. We all want to make effortless golf swings just like the ones we see
our Pros making on television and the thing is you only really need to do
these two things to get that same feeling of an effortless golf swing that
I promise you any golfer no matter what handicap or level you're at right now
you can do it. So very quickly before I dive in I've had a few questions about
the new ions I'm using. These are the Ballistic irons they are fantastic, super
feel and they look amazing. Check out the description for more details. So let's
dive in. Effortless golfing what is the first thing that you need to do. Now let
me ask you a question. If I was going to ask you to throw this
golf ball what's the first thing that you would do without even thinking about it.
You'd likely take it, you'd shift your weight here whilst the hand is still going back
you'd plant it and then release and throw like that.
Same on this angle here.
You'd step while the arm is still going back
so before the weights even move forward, the backswing as that weight's going forward I should
say the backswing is still going you'd plant it and then you'd release. Now the
golf swing needs to be like that. We need to be letting it flow and moving effortlessly
without thinking about it too much. Now the key is your hips play a massive role and the
first thing you need to get them to do as you make your backswing before your
backswing even finishes you need your hips to be slightly moving towards the
target.
So from face on as I'm going back in my back swing as
this club nearly gets to the top that weight this Trail hip should start
moving towards the target it's only like a
couple of inches or so it's a really small move
but an absolute must move same for your driver as well or your hybrid same as it
is for the irons but it's a little move just before that
backswing finishes that weight needs to be shifting forward
now very important this is not a slide I'm not talking about doing this
and just shoving the hips out like that and leaving the upper body back like
this I'm talking about moving the upper body and the lower body
together so it's a small little two inch move there you'll see the left
shoulder has moved across as well before the back swings finished
and then you can swing through nice and fluently
into a great position so from this angle I'll show you from a couple of different
angles that the back angle is a great one as well so before you're finishing this back
swing it's different for everyone but when the arms get to about here
somewhere this is what you see the pros doing when you look at their swings in
slow motion when the club's getting to the top
you'll see the weights going this way it's only a
couple of inches you don't want to do it exaggerate or anything like that
but before that backswing finishes you want a couple of inches of movement
towards the target there have a look at this angle here watch
this trail trail but Trail hip just as I'm getting towards the top
there it's a slight little move
there and what it enables you to do is get
that weight forward so you can really sling the club through let it naturally
snap through and get maximum power and speed it's a really powerful
move and I'll show you a pro golfer in this video now if you have a look at
this golf swing I'll show you Rory swing because that's
a really good one if you have a look at it closely
watch his lower part his hips and that move in the downswing watch them shift
before he's even finished his backswing you can only see this in slow motion
you'll see that those hips shift then his upper body comes through so
it's one fluid motion and that's how he's able to get extraordinary power in
his golf swing so it's really important when you're doing this that when you get
those hips moving as I said the upper body goes with it as well
and it doesn't get left behind in this sort of awkward
position here now the key to making this happen is keeping this pelvis or your
hips whatever the feel feels right best for you
from this angle this is the key is to make sure that you're keeping this
pelvis or the hips back this way when you're swinging
so when you get back to here we don't want to be doing this
that'll make it very difficult to make that little two inch move
very important as you go back here you're keeping these hips back you're
getting depth and when you've just before you finish
that backswing you're going this way keeping that pelvis back
because from there then you can rotate and maintain posture shallow the club
easier there
you can shallow it easier keep you in posture keep that pelvis back
and then swing through those hips play a massive
role in getting that little two inch move
it is incredibly powerful this is how you compress your irons you get more
power with the driver the swing will just feel much easier another feel for
you might be to actually feel like those hips are almost Falling Towards the
target so if that's my target out there I'm really just letting them fall
letting him fall fall towards a Target like that before that back swing is
finished and then I can just swing through I really like this angle here to
show you watch that trail hip just be careful when you make the
backswing you don't want the hips to go back like this you want them to feel
like they're going back pretty straight and then before that back swing finishes
there and then through
that's all it is just a little two inch move
there really powerful I mean I can hit little
short shots doing this and you'll find it just feels more comfortable feels
more powerful more fluent a lot more effortless I just do a short little one and just
get that little two inch move and you'll be a lot more consistent
around the golf course now really important the second part of this video
this ties in with the first part so make sure you watch this bit this this part
of the golf swing has not talked about too often but I have been working on
this on my own game and it's resulting a lot more consistent seeing a lot more
balance in my golf swing so this all revolves around this lead elbow and this
is for me a right-hander in the follow through and by the way if you have any
questions or comments regarding this video anything you're not sure about
drop a comment down below I answer all comments so please feel free to leave a
comment so what I'm talking about in poor golf swings you can usually
reverse the follow through and look at the arm position and you can normally
see something that's happening correctly so let me show you if you're someone
that suffers from a chicken wing for example
as you make your follow through your elbows will be really wide apart
and normally it's lead elbows pointing somewhere way up high like this this is what a slicer might
look like see that lead elbow pointing way up over
here let's have a look from this angle you can see this lead elbow pointing way
up now there's always exceptions to the rule so if you do see any other golfers
that do have a really high finishing elbow obviously exceptions to the rule
but for the most part good players will keep this lead elbow as they follow through
have it more pointing sort of down towards the ground or forward it'll be
in that position there we can see a nice little
angle there in the lead elbow like that I'll show you from here
this is what I want you to work on this is perfect for practice I wouldn't
want you to be thinking too much about this when you're out playing around but
for practice this is a really great feel for it allows the golf club to release
properly and be more consistent the club head won't move around quite so much and
you'll find a lot more consistency around your strikes so as you come through
hit the ball Feel Like That Elbow is more like that I
think this is the best angle see how the elbows feel like they're
pretty close together elbow pointing more sort of down this way I guess or a
little bit forward just keeps them more connected and you
can practice putting a ball between your arms I've done that before that works
really well but by feeling that lead elbow pointing more in this down position of
the follow through it is a great feel to have and I promise you your consistency
will Skyrocket if you practice this from here pointing down
so I think this shows it the best try it out with your driver with your
irons I'll hit a short one now but I have found my swing feels more balanced
more in control and the club face does not move around
as much through that impact it's really just
reversing rather than doing a finish like this with that elbow up high
this is not what I want you to do or like this elbow pointing way out
there up high keep feel like those elbows are kept a
little bit closer together and finish like that
a lot more balanced in control let's hit a short one here
feeling nice and balanced in control just lost my little mic thing there but
that was a very balanced in control golf swing all because I kept that elbow
pointing more down towards the ground so I encourage you to try that out when you
combine that with the little two inch move
at the start of that down back swing downswing transition your golf is going
to improve and you'll start making the most
effortless golf swing you can imagine now an important video I want your watch coming up next because this talks about
how to stop standing up through impact which ties in with that part I spoke
about about keeping the pelvis back so make sure you watch that video thanks
for watching I'll see you soon.
