Your videos are terrific, I can not wait too try them out. So much detail and very well explained with drills. Thanks
@@brianflannery3469 thank you Brain!
Another mind blown. I have taken more golf lessons than a normal person should. Now with the introduction of social media, I come across videos that I perceive as the “missing link” in all the instructions I have received; then this priceless gem falls out of the sky into my head. This lesson really does make the golf phrase that golf is played from the ground up come to life. I always heard it but never understood nor ever applied until now. Thank you so much for sharing. You probably haven’t heard the last of me.
Thank you! I loved reading that comment! Means a lot to be able to help yourself and other golfers with my videos! Hope you enjoy the future content to come!
TOP OF THE TOP GOLF PRO!!! 👏👏👏 Huge RESPECT from Russia 🇷🇺
Thank you!!!
Don't know when you started lad but keep at it, your coaching is top tier. Easiest subscribe this year. appreciate ya
Only started 2 months ago Alex but I’ll definitely keep consistent with it! Glad you enjoyed the content!
Only recently found this channel. This channel is the best for instruction. No fluff or bs. Straight id of the common problem, what’s the fix, followed by drills. Wonderful.
Amazing feedback! Thank you!
Giles, were back for more insights. Your demo early in the video is the famous "Snead Squat" made famous by the great Sam Snead. This I think is made simpler by the club placed across your chest drill you showed earlier in a different video. Pointing the butt end to the ball. This new impact position drill takes it one step further. Another layer to the cake!! Within five years I believe youll be recignized for what you already are. The best golf instructor in the world.
Wow thank you so much! Hearing praise like this just motivates me even more!
Love these videos. Direct, on point and easy to apply.
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Finally someone explained the push off the front leg properly. I've been doing it but it never felt right. Cheers
No problem at all! Glad I could help 👍🏻
Have been utilizing the rotational golf swing for 2 years with mixed results - believe your instruction of turning the left hip the final piece I was missing - I was just pushing up with left arm, feet and side - can’t wait to go to the driving range!! Thank you -
I hope this helps you achieve the correct impact position for your swing
Excellent explanation. With great drills. Thank you.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Hi there, This is the first time I've stumbled across you. Just wanted to add a comment right away. You are the quickest speaking and most concise coach on the Internet. Thank you for saving me time, time I'll be spending at the range and not sat on my are arse watching videos. I'll be sure to let you know how I get on. I was a consistent 6 handicapper last year and this year I've slipped to 9. My short game is cat 1 as I've spent hours and hours around the greens.
My main problem is consistent ball striking. My buddy has told me I'm coming slightly over the top resulting in a pull for me and usually this happens when I give 95% instead of 85% exertion.
Great to hear you enjoyed the video! I have lots of videos on bull striking and swinging over the top so be sure to check them out. Hope they help!
@@Gilesgillgolf Thank you. 👍
@@davismithprods no problem!
Great video. In the downswing, when should you push off of lead leg to push hip back and around? Shaft parallel?
I wouldn’t worry about position as it happens so fast. Just try and make the move dynamic
Love this explanation. Following you to 1,000,000 subs
That’s the dream! Thank you!
things explained so well, tried out the downswing advice today and my shots were so much straighter, thank you sir. Will deffo share around
Thank you Peter! Glad the video helped & appreciate your support!
Fantastic explanation, Giles. Gonna drill this one in before the next lesson.
Great stuff! Great to hear you enjoyed the video!
This is honeslty amazing thank you so much for the advice😊
No problem Hans! Great to hear you enjoyed the video!
Simple and nice video tips
Thank you!
Great demonstration!
Thank you Dom! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Does this apply to the driver too? If not do you have a video ? Thanks
Yes it does and yes I have a couple videos on this 👍🏻
Good info here Giles. My question is: does your left arm/ side provide all the power or your right arm?? Both equal?? Thank you!
The arms are only part of the power source. The legs, the rotation, the arms, wrists and hands all provide power. It’s a full body motion so both side are providing power. Different players might feel like their right or left side provides more but they’re both relatively equal
Great videos. Do the arms drop as you shift your weight before you start to rotate? and are you pushing off your trail side to start your weight shift?
Great question. Yes the arms drop in transition as you’re shifting. (watch the tour pros know this video for more details on this) naturally most players push off their trail leg enough so it happens but usually you don’t need to think about it
How do you feel about the thought of slight sway of the ribcage and turning that out of the way. Your video of the bringing the arms straight down and using the club as the laser pointer have helped greatly. I'm a low 80s golfer. I use those drills but my thought on the downswing is getting the left side of the rib cage up and out of the way. That takes care of everything else
There always have to be a shift towards the target where the upper and lower body stays stacked so yes it will be like that
@@Gilesgillgolf thank you for the response and your videos and explanations are so on point. You should have more followers. I use your weight shift onto the left leg then my thought is straightening the left leg and rib cage out of the way like I said. Only on the range lol. My thought when I'm golfing is a simple 1-2-3 for my tempo. Works for me. Thanks again. One more question. I average about 275 on my driver. But I feel like I swing differently than my irons. Should I try this as well for driver.
I'm sharing your videos with my golf league buddies and telling them to follow.
@@tomb4060 amazing to hear that weight transfer video clicked! It does take a minute to get your head around but when it clicks it’s powerful.
Thank you! Only started 7 months ago so fingers crossed it grows
2:37 holy smoooooooth :D
nice videos mate, you explain things really nicely!
Harnessing my inner a James Bond 😂 Glad you enjoyed the video!
My problem is my hips are too open and ahead at impact. Do you have any drills for that?
The video I’m positing tonight will help!
Great video. How does the driver divider?
What do you mean by divider?
@@Gilesgillgolf I meant How does the Driver differ from the left leg pushing into the ground?
@@stevestrang480 it’s the same motion
Great explanation thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
My mind has been blown once again… This could be my penny drop rotation to fix my early extension!
That’s amazing Lewis! Glad I can help fix your EE 💪🏻
When I try to rotate and clear the left hip on the downswing, I will typically SPIN MY LEFT FOOT OUT
I know this is wrong (as I see all good players keep the left foot planted)
What causes this SPINOUT? … and how can I correct it?
Thanks 🙏🏻 and keep up the good work 👍🏻
You wouldn’t have pushed the lead hip up and back enough
Going to try the basket drill at the range tomorrow - would love to get this movement mastered and improve my impact position👌
You’re getting close mate! These drills will be great for you
Hi, just a question, in Tommy iron video he pull his left hip back at the start of downswing to achieve the squat-like move. How is that relate to pushing left leg to create rotation ?
If you push into the left leg your leg will gain flex. That will cause the hip to generate more depth and create that squat move
@@Gilesgillgolf I see thank you for your reply!
@@DerhythM no problem
Giles, can you explain further when you say push into the ground at a 45 degree angle? Is that a feeling like your pushing into the ground towards right field for a right-handed golfer?
My baseball terminology isn’t great but I believe it would be pushing into the ground between 1st and 2nd base. Another way of looking at it is you’re pushing at 10.30 on the clock if the ball is 12. Does that make sense?
@@Gilesgillgolf yes, that makes perfect sense. Thank you for the further detail! This specific ground force was totally missing in my swing causing me to end up on my back foot like you explained in your superb video
@@roll62 amazing! Glad I could help 👍🏻
@@Gilesgillgolf That's about 3rd base 🙂
@@rizon406 my baseball knowledge is rubbish 😅
Is it important to leave ur right arm attached to ur body for irons and drive or just irons?
Thanks
Attached is great for consistency and stability but there will always be an element of the trail arms extending away from the body in the follow through
That jump example just destroyed 20 years of my swing thoughts! Brilliant!!
@@texstar77 wow that’s great! Glad I could help!!
This is one of the best explanations out there for what the legs should be doing in order to use the ground correctly. Subscribed!
Glad you enjoyed the video Stefan! Thank you for subscribing!
So on the squat, does your lead leg collapse so the knee actually goes forwards?? Also does this apply to every club??
Thanks
The leg doesn’t collapse but it does regain flex. The knee, like any athletic movement, will travel in the direction you’re applying the force. Yes this is with every club 👍🏻
@@Gilesgillgolf can you do a video explaining this with the driver?
@@idoc9347 yes of course. It’s a very similar concept
Brilliant. Thank you
You're very welcome!
You are a very good instructor man thanks !
Thank you Chris! I appreciate the comment!
Just had a lesson with my Pro and this was the same instruction, it is very physically demanding, but added 30 yards to all my mid-irons immediately
Takes time to learn but it’s a very key move!
Great content.
Thank you Philip!
Giles, at 2:40 is where I'm failing. I've developed this alarm bell, " STAND- UP " at impact and I'm thinning everything! BOLLUCKS
Chances are something is out of position earlier on in the swing. Start with the setup. If you need help then i do offer online lessons and as an intro I’ll give you 50% off 😊
For everyone except Mo Norman, this is pretty good info 👍
I’m sure Mo wouldn’t mind this info
Awesome, just had a horrible round of iron play,and this is what it was all about.
Hope this gets you back on track Mike!
Would love to be able to do that consistently it happens sometimes but other times it seems my mind just goes blank with all the swing thoughts going through head , it just goes to pot. Great tips though Giles 👌👍🏼
I would say thinking of leg work is always a great swing thought. It keeps things simple, dynamic & has great knock on affects in the swing
I found it easier and more consistent contact wen I leave my right arm attached to my body on my iron swings
Better contact and more consistency with accuracy
God bless you, u saved me (handicap -50) lol
Glad I could help!
Fantastic video! This is much easier to do than planting the left heal. I have always had problems with planting the left heal and how does the heal plant correspond with this great video.
My video tomorrow talks about it 👍🏻
I'll add to the other comments that I've never heard how to push off the ground to clear the hips as well as this.
Wow thank you! Means a lot to hear that! Glad you enjoyed the video!
fan of George Gankas?
Yes he is a great coach
@@Gilesgillgolf George has filtered down to many. You are pretty good too from what I've seen so far.
@@danallan2 thank you!
