Milo and Henry changed my life 😂😂 fr tho. Riley, Tj and Alex keep making it better. You guys collaborate so well and don't prescribe one way only but work with the correct match-up for the individual which literally speaks volumes to the truth behind all of it.
Hey Milo, I just want to thank you for posting video of your theory of the golf swing. It has help me a lot. I finally got to try it for the first time today and man I have never hit golf balls that went so far and so solid before. Even wedges work with your swing. I finally understand how Rory and the other pros swing the golf club. I have been studying Rory swing for years and could not replicate it. Until today (well, for the most part). I will keep watching your videos and see what else I can pick up and understand how to swing the golf club. Thanks again.
Enjoy your videos and have tremendous respect for you and Luke Bracke. The sacrum move was identified by Kelvin Miyahira cira 2010? Simply one of the best. Shame he had a stoke and hasn't been heard of since.
this is some really good info because i was a rocker, blocker and early extender but have been working on a proper pivot for a few years now and getting better at it. thnx guys.
Great stuff - and great touch with all of the half screen video inserts of TW, Rory and DJ and other GOATs! THANK YOU - so practical and helpful with the instruction plus the visuals throughout and practical training drills to experience proper movement for yourself - you guys are slaying it!!! Thank you!!!
Thanks for this Milo, just what I need to reinforce my movement. I'm really trying to work on correcting my swing for back pain-free golf. Yep, once my back goes I'm out of commission for a minimum of 1 month. hence your videos are just what I need. Thank You,
As an Elderly Golfer (and novice) I also came up against injury whilst hitting up against "a firm left side". Felt like my leading pelvis joint lifted, so my interest is in opposing forces in The Swing. Milo's feet, moving in the downswing tell their own story. It's one I'd like to hear.
I struggle with weight shift and went to the range after this video and man that one swing thought of sacrum to the target had me realizing how much I don’t properly turn in my backswing. It helped my weight shift thus ball striking and easily 10-15 yards on all my clubs.
makes the turn in the backswing so much easier when you think of the sacrum moving towards the target and then you can really unwind thru impact. I watch the video this morning and played and feel so nice at the top of the swing. I never felt rotating like that before.
I currently have the thought of my left knee getting in front of my left toe at the top of the back swing. Gets me tilting and turning my hips like this very nicely.
that's the move...clearly demonstrated by you guys...Excellent! Haven't seen the move of the tailbone going back; maybe I can strike the ball more in the center now, Thanks.
I’m having the worst mental mash up between being an arm swinger and trusting my hands vs a relaxed and let it chill rotational swinger. Ive started with my hands and arms and shoot consistently in the mid to low 80s but not sure I can get lower if I stick with it. I’ve gone out to try some of these tips and man I gained some effortless distance and quite a bit without trying but I struggle to feel the face and shape the ball. I just go left. It’s a playable left and I’m sure it’s because my hands and arms are participating too much. Any video suggestions to help me with this struggle as look through the milo lines video treasure chest? Haha
It seems that the pivot point within pelvis varies with people. For some it's closer to the left or right hip. For others it's closer to the sacrum or belt buckle. It would be interesting to see where various pros pivot around from, say, P4 onward. Is the sacrum beltloop-pull drill the same for all variations?
Milo, my golf clubs are in the lounge room and my wife wants me to put them in the garage. I believe they belong in the lounge room while the Masters is on and in the month leading up to the Masters. What is your ruling?
It took me 11 months to actually understand this move and until it finally clicked. I was an early extender from the 90’s as a 15 year old scratch who hit a hook every shot but could score. This Sarum move is it. Needed to feel squat move, use ground and rotate….. like I did hitting a baseball.
From 11:17 to 11:25 .. made into a short video and then made into a hour loop which we can play everyday. Then it's just a matter of time before we're all going "yeah yeah yeah yeah" 😊
Hi, I am beginners, throwing the ball quite consistently with short Iron and and driver, but struggling with long Iron. Don't know why. Anyway I am working on the weight transfert to be able to involve more the body at impact to gain distance and have smoother rythm with long irons. So I am intégrating this "sacrum forward mouvement" to transfert weight to my Left leg before engaging hip rotation. Pausong the video at 6:59, on my humble opinion, It seems that the position at impact is à bit wrong. Look how the Left Left is laid back to the Right, I doubt the weight is effectively mostly on the Left foot. I could not states that it does work, but for sake of understandingnI would be glad to here from you on this remark. Regards
Hi Fabrice, thanks for the comment! Have you looked into joining my online academy at milolinesgolf.com? That is where I could provide you the best feedback for your individual swing.
@@MiloLinesGolf Hi, Sorry for the confusion. I was actually not requiring feedback on my i swing (for sure it is bad). I gave a bit of context to tell where I am talking from. I was raising, in this video, something that felt a bit wrong so I was kindly asking you to confirm my impression. In case other beginner have also been puzzled by what we can see at 6:59 that looks like a reverse pivot (or something similar). Thanks
I would hesitate to recommend this movement to a lot of players. It could be overly misinterpreted and could possibly cause you to do some damage to your lower spine. Yes, you will automatically move the tailbone if you rotate away from the ball but if you try and over emphasise that coming down, it could cause issues.
Milo,correct me if I’m wrong but there seems to be some stack and tilt in this move. It looks a lot like Mac O’Grady’s move. Thank you for the great content.
You need to further clarify how to make this “sacrum “move. Because the sacrum forms the posterior pelvic wall, movement of the sacrum away from the target requires that the pelvis rotate . But because of basic anatomy, both the left hemisphere and right hemisphere of the pelvis are very limited in their rotation . So how does the pelvis rotate too move the sacrum away from the target going down.? It requires a POSITIONAL change of the left hip socket . This is accomplished via left hip external rotation . Left hip external rotation rotates the head of the left femur( thigh bone) within the left left hip socket . Because the other end of femur forms the knee joint , the marker for left hip external rotation will be knee movement . This knee movement can be easily seen In Milo’s swing At 7:40-7:42 . As left hip external rotation continues the left leg will straighten , the left socket will move further way from the target line and the sacrum will move further away from the target So the key here is not the movement of the sacrum itself , but externally rotating the left hip causing a positional change in the left hip socket
Though the lead knee changes position giving the appearance of external rotation in reality the left hip is internally rotating pretty much the entire down swing.
Please look up the definition of external hip rotation yourself . The definition of external hip rotation is simple ;it is when the Femur ( thigh bone ) and the knee rotate OUTWARDS away from the midline of the body . Without such left external hip rotation , the left hip socket will be unable to move AWAY from the target line , resulting in no rotation of the pelvis . . Hip external rotation will also move weight to the outside of the lead foot . The left hip rotates internally going back. It’s definition is the opposite of external hip rotation ; i.e. when the left femur and knee rotate inwards toward the midline of the body .
@@davecohn6407 I won’t argue with you any further. In the golf swing the lead hip rotates externally in the backswing relative to the pelvis and internally in the downswing. Check the crease in the growing area it opens in the backswing and closes as the pelvis rotates in the downswing.
Our preference... The lead femur does not externally rotate in the hip socket. In contrast it internally rotates in the hip socket because of pelvic rotation... you are more than welcome to move any way that you would like my friend, just speaking on preferences of movement.
Caution: Please do not focus too much on your sacrum movement on your golf-swing anymore then Milo did or you will harm yourself. The sacrum away from the target movement on the downswing is a reaction to the great swing that Milo has and teaches and not a direct action to Milo’s swing. If it were he would be screaming now. Cheers
Interesting observation but it feels to me to almost be a distraction to the simplicity of Milo’s normal instruction, as this movement happens then anyway. I have also found a way to ensure I am not extending as I’ve put a mat and net in my low roofed garage where I can swing a 6 iron ok as long as I don’t extend early - if I do I’ll hit the rafters with the club head and hurt my wrists - positive feedback in action 🤣
Milo, As you know already the correct sacrum move is tied to the correct pelvic tilts both left hip relative to right and also the amount and movement of anterior hip tilt which is the relative height between the back and front of hips. In the Turn Your TAILBONE To Get On Top Of The Golf Ball In The Downswing th-cam.com/video/HX4jjkMx7K4/w-d-xo.html you use a pen in the back of your trousers to demonstrate the correct tailbone move but that move which creates the angle of the pen in transition is because of the pelvic tilt angle in transition where the left hip is much lower than the right. I believe if you can get peoples understanding of the complete hip movements in the entire swing both in hip tilts of left hip relative to right as well as anterior and posterior tilts this would correct a lot of issues . I would be very interested to see your thoughts on this in a series of videos. Thanks.
Milo, Were you taught the Sacrum move in your baseball training? One really good point made in this video is that the Sacrum movements should be seen and understood in 3D movement in space where people only tend to view it in a 2D linear movement and the Sacrum moves towards the target in the downswing deeper towards the target in transition and then away from the target as WELL as moving away from the ball coming into impact. The 3D aspect of the movement is very often not understood and over looked and if you do that you will program in a flawed pattern of movement.
It’s hard for me to comprehend how pressure can shift away from the target on the backswing but the sacrum can move toward the target on the backswing. My tendency is to leave too much pressure on the lead side going back.
I thought the center of pelvis at the very beginning of back swing moved away from target a very small amount. That's what the gears data I have seen show.
@@MiloLinesGolf isn't this the pelvis sway data on gears. This is almost always a negative number(away from target) during the initial takeaway, then starts moving forward. What am I missing?

Hello .
It s seems you have a lot of weight on your rear foot at impact at 11.25, don't you think ?
Thank you.
I always keep the trail heal down with irons so this is normal for me.
So as I’m rotating can I actually say to myself right hip to the target on the backswing and left hip to the target on the downswing
I meant and left hip away from the target on the downswing
Maybe
how to use the rib cage to execute the sacrum move? if no ribs involvement, then hip will take over?
Maybe this video can help: th-cam.com/video/2qWcpYPfvWA/w-d-xo.html

No doubt that the hands move faster then the body, but the body is a force multiplier. Also, I’m pretty sure we’ve never said “loose your body angles”
