Hi everyone, Which of the 5 reasons is most relevant to your swing?
Number 5
Definitely the last two I need some time to digest and work on. Actually, you should probably not publish any new videos for a month or so while I work through this one. LOL, just kidding (about you pausing of course). Amazing video for terminology, analysis, and tips.
@@nicholas1460 haha sometimes I do think the amount of content I produce is a lot 😂
Definitely no4. The hip rotation. Probably not textbook but my no1 takeaway thought is turn my trail hip back and up. The shoulders seem to follow automatically giving me depth. Following on is keeping my arms well extended in the backswing. These two elements have helped me to bring a more powerful and consistent strike. Cocking my wrists and trying to develop lag is another plus for me. Thanks for the insights 👍
@@DavidHarris-pp5yq glad I could help! The resistance band drill will be key for you!
Yes please I need a video on rotation in the downswing! My rotation stalls once I return square to the golf ball…
Will do! Do you tick all these boxes?
Club is maybe too open at top of backswing and too steep in downswing… will try slightly stronger grip and the club shallowing drill that you demonstrated!
@@michaelgoodhand yes so you would have to throw if the face is open and you won’t be able to turn
Giles, it's your resident spokesman back with you again. A comment by Bryan Gonzakes says it all. He states emphatically that your videos are like a $1,000 lesson. That might even be understating it!! Your drill in this video with the elastic band is a wonderful idea. An even better one you gave in a previous video was "The Belly Button Drill," attaching the butt end of the club to your belly button and extending back past parallel. This, as you stated, steadies the players head but also generates an INSANE amount of coil. After achieving this dynamic backswing position, it is easier for the kinetic chain to flow naturally. Your extra emphasis on having the player adjust their grip will bear fruit for those with "opposing " Another marvelous video. In my opinion, you have raised the bar in on-line instruction.
Wow! Thank you so much! Yet again your comment has made my day so thank you 😁
Shallowing the club & dropping the arm behind gives more room to rotate., good feeling , Thanks 👍
Exactly that
Yes, on rotational video!
Will do!

Yes for Rotation Video!
Already posted it 👍🏻
Great video! Can't wait till next one!
More to come!
Great video - all 5 sections a big help - would love to see the rotation video
Thank you! Will do
Thanks for the tips Giles. You’ve covered something I’ve not come across before and I’ve been watching videos on golf tips for 2 months now. I’ll be taking this out onto the range in a couple of days.
Thank you! That’s the aim. Provide content that others don’t. Hope it helps
This Rotation Video is just excellent. Thanks. Downswing video in addition would be great
Will do!
This video is crazy comprehensive. It covered all the issues I had at many points of my golf swing throughout the years. Hope everyone watches and learns from this!
Thank you! That was the aim, to cover all points
No kidding. It made me want to buy an online lesson from him. He explains concepts relatively quickly without tons of fluff or blabbering which makes this video awesome. I'm very impressed with this lesson.
Excellent explanations and drills
Best lesson on the internet thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
I definitely would like to see that rotation video. Thanks
Will do!
I love the straight to the point approach, so sick of having to fast forward 5 minutes in to get anything interesting, thank you. I would like to see a rotation video.
Thank you! The rotation video is going up this Saturday
Great help , many thanks Paul
Glad it could help
#5 shallowing drill is so simple and a great way to promote correct feels and mechanics.
Keep the instructional videos coming. Have a great day Giles. 👍
It’s a really simple drill but will massively help! Glad you’re enjoying the videos
What has helped me have better rotation is opening the lead foot
Plays a huge role due to the ankle joint being in a better position
I did the chopstick drill for about 5 minutes at the range before playing- very helpful. Also the big move, and it was very simple , was moving my grip more to the base of my fingers away from the palm. My club face is now more square. I hit some very solid irons in todays round- I have been around the 80-82 scoring range- today was 77 due more to my iron play. Today was close to 50% GIR - I have been averaging 31%. Keep the great videos coming Giles- I have a renewed fervour for the game. Excited.
Amazing! Sounds like you really made some progress after watching this
Fixing my hand path and the shaft pitch drill changed my game overnight
Amazing! Glad they helped!
More rotation videos please. Thanks
Will do!
Yes for rotation video.
Will do!
Keep them coming
Will do!
I would like to see a video on rotation in the down swing.
Posted the follow up last week so go check it out
Need to practice all , do you rotate the chest not with the arms ? Also get stuck in the downswing my legs get planted and think the need be twisting up ward ?
Your videos are very well explained , thanks
If you need to practice all then you don’t have a chance of moving the legs or chest right. Get the checks right and things will fix themselves
Great stuff
Thank you
Yes We want to see the video on rotation
Already posted it 👍🏻
This video has more value than a $1,000 golf lesson
It really does!
yes please do a rotation video, and please do the rotation for driver in addition to your irons (maybe even fairway woods too!)
It would all be very similar but yes will do!
Giles rotation video please! Thanks 🙏
Already done it. Posted just over a week ago 👍🏻
Nice discussion! I think my problem might be lack of depth. I’ve mostly solved the width issue. Feeling the weight of the club head in the shallowing is intriguing. Appreciate the explanations and the corrective drills.
Glad I could help! Hope this gets things clicking
Very good method to repair golf swing.😊😊😊
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
hello
First video I watched of yours, very grateful, because of the 5 reasons, there was one, which was the one that was destroying the game, since I reviewed videos of my game on the field and there was that error, thank you very much, may you receive many blessings for the good you do, already subscribed, greetings from Caracas, Venezuela, Pedro
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Gilesgillgolf Hello, do you have a video on how to correct hitting behind the ball, sometimes it happens to me on the course two or three times and the club falls a little back in the backswing, like John Daly, thank you and good luck, I am handicap 14
Great video. Have struggled with rotating all my golfing life. Bad back doesn’t help so yes please for a how to rotate properly.lesson
Will do! If you’ve always struggled then chances are one of these is off
Thanks!
Thank you!
for me its definitely the straight arm and the depth -- but I have also noticed that the first move from the top where I concentrate on nothing else but swallowing the club, has made me much more consistent even if my arm isn't straight even if I have little depth-- now I'm excited to go out there and try and work on all these techniques
Just getting the shaft pitch right in the downswing will improve your ball striking
Very good Videos
Thank you!
Rotation is major. Collapsing arms would be my major fault. I use a closed stance & this summer I was experimenting with a closed trail shoulder too. When I went back to level shoulders I started to pull the ball left again. As far as rotation goes, I would be interested in your thoughts on closed stance & closed shoulder & their effect on rotation.
They make rotation easier in the backswing but harder through impact for sure
@@Gilesgillgolf Not sure what you mean by harder through impact.
@@carlor.s.4742 well it’s more difficult to rotate your hip lead hip open if your stance is closed
Would like a video on rotation
Will do
Thanks
Thank you!!
Great video I’ve been joyed your work, a lot…
The biggest problem I’m having after a round of golf is my left hip joint is absolutely killing me. Not sure what I’m doing on the finish of my rotation to create such pain. Is that something you think you can help with.
Thank you! You’ll be shifting too lateral in the downswing and stressing the hip joint. Work on rotating open to no stress the hip. My next video will help a lot too
I think I've started getting some hip rotation just recently, though I haven't had anyone look at it to check. What seems to be helpful to me is to get so twisted around that I have no choice but to "unwind", so to speak. I think #4, depth, seems to be the closest to that. Getting a good result also depends a lot on keeping the left arm straight, which seems to be #3, width. Interestingly, it was compression that I was trying to work out that led me to this point. I'm a senior golfer.
Sounds like the resistance band drill is perfect for you! My video on Tuesday will be good for you too
I’m definitely number 5. I steepen big time in transition
One of the most common issues! Hope this helps!
I am new to your videos….Would love to see a rotation video
I posted that rotation video a few days ago
My biggest problem is during the downswing I often feel I’m too close to the ball, so to get the club to impact with a straight left arm, I instinctively “back away” (early extension).
I have 35” arms (which might have something to do with it)
I find it difficult to rotate just before impact and tilt to raise my left shoulder as you prescribe.
Thanks 🙏🏻 and keep up the good work
Chances are one of the variables is out of position
Love this video Giles and also your rotation video. I am confused about the tip on poor shaft pitch when you advocate turning the left thumb clockwise - does this not open the club face - it’s like rolling the wrist open?
No because you’re doing it with your forearms not your wrists
@@Gilesgillgolf So I think I understand the thumb was indicating the feeling for the forearm but the wrists remain more vertical with thumb pointing more to the sky ?
@@davidmarshall6941 no you let the thumb go with it. You’re just allowing the shaft to move into a shallower position. You can use your wrist to open, close or keep the face square from that position. Just depends how you move them
@@Gilesgillgolf okay so if I am rolling the forearm clockwise do I unroll the forearm just before impact?
@@davidmarshall6941 you release them yes. Again the forearms is just one way to shallow the club. There are multiple ways of doing it
That drill with the band is the only thing that I have ever seen that trains the muscles to complete the backswing.
100% agree
Bonus trail hiip depth in backswing
That falls into the depth category
I think I finally understand what is meant by “dropping the club in slot”, which is a tip I heard but was confused. The changing and lowering of the shaft pitch on the down swing was never something I ever did, preferring to robotically keep everything in the same plane top to bottom (and required hand strength).
My question is whether your shoulders and hips are locked together through the rotation, or do the hips rotate first leading the shoulder rotation through the swing? Or put another way, is the source of rotational power through the swing coming from just your legs keeping trunk square, or does it also involve moving obliques?
I would answer this but the video I’m posting tomorrow is on exactly this so it’ll be easier if you watch that. Hope that’s okay 👍🏻
Hi mate I seem to take the club away fairly well but start to cup my lead wrist ever so slightly and open the face making it hard to square on the way down. Any ideas I have a neutral right hand and strong left (right handed player)
Check out my video on how to set the wrists correctly
Let’s see it!
👍🏻
Looking for the rotation video. Is it out yet ?
Not yet
Please do video on rotation.
Will do
The right elbow can easily fall behind and get stuck when dropping the club behind on initiating the downswing. Any tips on still keeping the arms in front of the chest and maintaining that triangle on the start of the downswing? Thank you!
Most of the time this is caused by poor arm structure at the top of the backswing. Then from there chances are you’ll be working the arm internal and steepening it
I do typically draw the ball. Wanted to focus on the lowering of the club at the onset of the downswing, you described. I noticed that there were times when I let my arms drop below parallel, I would hit behind the ball. Does think make sense as to why I was suddenly hitting behind the ball? I had to make sure the drop was subtle. Your teaching is terrific. Videos are simple, clear, and precise. I will continue to follow.@@Gilesgillgolf
@@michaeltumen8574 chances are you aren’t rotating open enough or you haven’t shift to your left side enough
Your prompt reply is amazing. Your comment seems spot on. I will make sure to rotate more and give myself more time to shift left. I always end on the left side, but sometimes I get there a bit late.
@@Gilesgillgolf
@@michaeltumen8574 that could be it then. Hope that helps!
This is a request for a rotation video.
Will do!
I think the key to moving the. trail hip backward in the backswing is to try to push the trail foot forward while the foot is engaged in the turf and cannot move forward,. SO this action so moves the trial hip back.
That’s part of the equation
what is the "other". part?
@@Gilesgillgolf
@@williamreichert4798 lead knee flexion & pressure movement in the lead foot, left side bend, thoracic extension & trail side extension
Pushing out the ground only really contribute to trail side extension
Yes. That makes sense. Thanks@@Gilesgillgolf
I really struggle keeping my left arm straight,any suggestions would be appreciated.
Left arm doesn’t have to be straight but if it is excessively bending then focus on having clubface square, turning through impact and squeezing elbows together
Did you do a video on rotation?
Yes, posted it a few months ago
Rotation video please!
Will do!
Downswing rotation video please
Will do!

One further comment, Giles. I would love to see additional comment on rotation in a future video. The more the better. Consider that a Yay vote.
I posted the follow up a few week ago but I’ll have more also coming out soon
Give us rotation video. Thanks.
Coming soon!
please provide rotation video
It’s coming out tomorrow. Subscribe & you’ll see it
Do you hit with your left hand or right or both? My trail hand is my dominant side and overtakes the downswing ruining what you’re teaching here. Any help in this area?
Either your grip is off or your arms are stuck behind your body
@@Gilesgillgolf grip is good, dominant right takes my path outside to in. I have to concentrate to swing with left arm/hand to bring it inside but I don’t feel any power that way.
Btw, I’ve saved your ‘complete guide for seniors’ as my base to work from. Thanks!
@@Jacalore I can’t comment without seeing. A lot of golfers think things are good when they actually do have the correct matchups

You never mention getting the left knee behind the ball? Is that because the knee reacts to what the lower body does?
I have seen players get it behind the ball and rotate but in my opinion thats a pivot issue
Rotation video please
Already posted the video 👍🏻
