Very good explanation. Just by trial and error I today I discovered how much fun it is to incorporate my thigh Muscle when using my driver and how much farther the ball goes. I was lifting my head as you explained so next time I will work on lowering it instead. Thanks
I’ve been playing since I was 10 years old (I’m now 74) and have finally found a teaching golf coach that has helped me understand the most important motions and positions that all accomplished golfers execute during their golf swings.. Your video presentations are superbly organized and clearly presented. I thank you for you’re untiring devotion to the best game ever invented by mankind.
OK…… Thank you once again Jonathan ! UR a great teacher and instructor! In a short time U have changed my game…. You truly have an ability 2 take something that seems very technical and explain it very simply ! THANK YOU ! Thank You ! Thank You ! Now I have something I can take 2 the range with my new Cobra LTD X Driver ! LOL! Thanks again! Regards!
Your explanation of the up to date golf swing is sensational Jonathan. No one puts over the technicality as scientifically as you do and with such passion.We are fortunate to have you.Thanks so much.
This is a great video learning to use the legs along with the correct spine angle is absolutely critical for maximum distance and control. I been following Jonathan for years and nobody instructs and explains through audio and video making the game so much more enjoyable to play!
Jonathan, I can't even find the words to describe how much better your communications skills are in comparison to the rest of TH-cam's golf coaches. Thank you for your content. It's incredible and I'm a huge fan and advocate of you personally. Thank you.
An excellent & true secret that most of us golfers never reach. I thank you John for helping us awaken the inner power in which has been unleashed in all of us thus far.
I think the value of a golf lesson is tied to how well it speaks to the student specific to his or her needs in the moment. This is a valuable piece of instruction from Jonathan Taylor. For where I am at with my swing, given the things I am currently working on, this is one of the most on-target pieces of golf instruction I have seen on TH-cam. in 14 minutes you manage to completely cover what I need to work on, in terms of motions, positions, and feels, in a way that is thorough and convincing.
Mr Taylor.. this is my first comment on TH-cam.. and I absolutely love your videos. I think you said you teach lots of beginners, but I feel your lessons are more for advanced weekend hackers.. thank you!
Brilliant, best instruction in years. Been doing a lot of your drills. Just started carrying the ball 295 yards. A few tonight I could not even see where they landed, way out. The head down is huge, it maintains the chain of power for release and its the only way to hit high center or middle of the face. Just fantastic stuff, it’s so enjoyable to pound the ball, great stress relief. Thank you.
This is what I have been searching for in my golf journey! I have focused on using my legs & feet this past year & have my driving & short game going OK. But I am falling forward still because I am coming up too soon, like Anika. This drill will get me using more ground force now that I see the head going down & the sequence of hips chest shoulders arms! Thank you.
The knees are super-important where the pivot is concerned. Trevino said that he “broke” his knees past the ball in transition to lay the club off etc. He even claimed that he had a slide, but what it appears to me that he was doing was aiming his knees ahead of the ball as he rotated. Few players finished with a lead leg more angled away from the target than Trevino. Although the hip rotator muscles do the work, all I think of from the top is to point my knees in front of the ball.
Going to sound hyperbolic but your analytics and demos are just brilliant. This particular video is so spot on. Makes the “sit” move comprehensible and actually “doable”. Look forward to more learning. Great great work JT. Thank you!!!
Good stuff, I like the reminder to keep going down all the way through - I struggle with thin but straight irons and it usually is a poor timing of the extension pushing up too soon and or pulling the right shoulder up too soon.
Estimado profesor, de sus vídeos lo único que lamento es no poder entender su idioma. Pero de lo demás le quiero decir que con sus clases mi ilusión por el golf ha vuelto a nacer.
excellent explanation and demonstration again. I would like to be very glad to share with you that I hit my first eagle at a par 4 hole after having learnt some skills from your pelvic rotation introduction program.
I love it! This low body turn will help my hook as well because I have more room to turn. Could you please show how to hit the hybrid when you have a chance. Thank you MR Taylor.
I've been struggling with this lower body in my swing. Watching different videos explaining this lower body motion, yours is probably the most comprehensive.. The biggest tip was staying behind the left leg as long as possible. Love it. I'll try this on the range today and let you know how it goes!
This is one of the best videos on the golf swing I've seen. My only thought is I'd like the same now for irons. Surely there are similarities, but also differences.
Also if like me you slightly release to early sometimes, good lower body action can help keep the cluface square,substain speed and still compress the ball and hit great straight shots.
only watched to 1.48 but At Last a Pro describing golf as a throwing action!Most golfers would benefit from thinking of the body action as a getting out of the way and then a fast clearing action to release the whole club to target.Unfortunately most golfers use their body in a hitting action to hit the ball with the clubhead and/or throw the clubhead at the ball.
In another video you incorporated a left shoulder movement ("rowing backwards") with the hip rotation (shallow the club out and match shoulder and hip rotation). It's not mentioned in this video. Do you still recommend it?
I must say, I believe I need to reduce my swing thought(s) to those that begat the best motions. I have a backswing thought that puts my shoulders and my hips into a good position and from your instruction I'm keeping my weight more on the inside right foot during the backswing. Now, transition, I must ask you, do you think right side bend begats left hip opening with some help from left foot pressure OR do you believe left hip opening begats right side bend with some help from right foot pressure? I understand the lower body starting the swing and opening the left hip and left foot pressure assisting in opening the hip and I understand right side bend and the club shallowing and the elbow coming into the side and the head dropping, but do you think one thing leads to the other or are they both done at the same time? Is there an answer to this?
I think that the hips and shoulders are being driven at the same time and that you could use whatever swing thought works for you. We all have a different feeling based on our bodies feedback.
Jonathan, do you have any drills that retrain the mind to trust that the club will not hit the ground? That is my biggest problem. I have pretty good weight trasfer and rotation but everytime I try to sit down thru the rotation I bottom out the club. My mind is still trying to flip the club early to square the clubface. Any advice would be great. Thanks.
Hello I'm a french man and i don't write and speak very well english so what do you think of Justin Thomas swing? he doesn't keep his angles during the realease!!! Sorry for my english language!! Bruno from Paris
Hi Jonathan, Can i just say your instruction is superb. Lots of great ideas on your channel. I have purchased your ebook. Can i ask is there any chance of getting your clips onto a dvd. Would be handy to take to tournaments when i am stuck in the hotel or b and b. I'm up in Scotland and some of the wifi and phone signals are not good. Keep up the good work. More short game feel drills would be good. I am prone to yip chips. Being a low handicapper i can sometimes get away with it but it takes just one error and my score can be destroyed. Currently going through my club championship qualifying and your tips have helped get some real consistency in place for these high pressure rounds. All the best Steve
Thanks for the great feedback Steve. I don't see any chance of a DVD but I believe TH-cam offer a subscription service where you can download video you like to a mobile device and watch them offline.
I cannot use my legs or the ground power without feeling like my swing is out of control? What drills would you recommend to change this feeling of powerlessness?
I took online lessons from January - April this year. I've been working on most of what you're talking about but I've actually lost speed. I went from swinging with my arms to using my legs and the ground. However, we didn't discuss the head moving down. Maybe that's the part I'm missing. Do you do online lessons?
Most golfers I play with have started golf as adults and never learnt to us their legs.When I play against the county u14s they All use their legs massively! probably overuse them.
Maybe, but most weekend golfers stay much too long on the right foot during the swing. The pressure on the left foot (heel), what you need at impact comes way to late. It will not help, when you tell them to stay even longer on the right side. I know, what you really want to explain, but the way you show it will lead to massive missunderstandings. Sorry for bad english.@@JonathanTaylor63

Thank you!
I like you methodical approach to these things. It suits my style of understanding. Thanks a lot!
Jonathan, I can't even find the words to describe how much better your communications skills are in comparison to the rest of TH-cam's golf coaches. Thank you for your content. It's incredible and I'm a huge fan and advocate of you personally. Thank you.
Staying through the shot with keeping your head down is an amazing tip that you don't hear often from youtube golf teachers. Great Tip Jonathon
Best explanation I have seen on how to hit a driver. Staying behind the ball generates the power. Excellent instruction video !
Thanks 👍
I love ALL OF your great devoted instructions. My score has improved quite a bit. You are the best .

Superb drill for the winter

The very best on line golf coach. Keep up the great work!
I’ve had a back injury and needed to relearn how to get my distance back. You’ve been so instrumental. Thank u for ur great explanation.

All the stock is there. Not simple to assembly in one second, but your explanations cannot be clearer. Thank you sir !

You are welcome 🙏
The picture in picture is the best!
Good stuff, I like the reminder to keep going down all the way through - I struggle with thin but straight irons and it usually is a poor timing of the extension pushing up too soon and or pulling the right shoulder up too soon.
Incredible way to show the golf swing, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it
Becoming my favorite coach to watch. Thanks for everything. I love the bump....n tuuuuurn bump n tuuuuurn video.
Going to start following for sure.
Estimado profesor, de sus vídeos lo único que lamento es no poder entender su idioma. Pero de lo demás le quiero decir que con sus clases mi ilusión por el golf ha vuelto a nacer.
Excellent video and breakdown of how to engage the lower body. Ben Hogan would be proud!
Great video Jonathan!!!, thanks from Argentina
excellent explanation and demonstration again. I would like to be very glad to share with you that I hit my first eagle at a par 4 hole after having learnt some skills from your pelvic rotation introduction program.
That is awesome!
Best instruction, thanks Jonathan.

Just found your channel - good stuff! Appreciate as well that you are very matter of the fact and chill.
Love this channel
Well presented; thank you for sharing.
Great explanation. I enjoy your video.
Very well illustrated
This is really amazing golf swing instruction. Thanks mate
So Much to Learn and So Little Time :)
Loved it ! Loved especially that i can do this in my living room first . Then to the range
Thank you Jim!
This is one of the best videos on the golf swing I've seen. My only thought is I'd like the same now for irons. Surely there are similarities, but also differences.
Keep watching this space:)
Great as ever thank you
Thanks so much from Vietnam
Thanks!
🙏
Excellent really !
So time to visit Munich
Also if like me you slightly release to early sometimes, good lower body action can help keep the cluface square,substain speed and still compress the ball and hit great straight shots.

My back is needing traction even watching this motion... Anyway like a true idiot I am off to snap my spine in a effort to be awesome 👍 thanks bruh
Great for driver and woods... good for irons too???
Hi mate just discovered your channel, great explanation just wandering is it possible to get video lessons
Thanks from down under
Sorry George but I don‘t do video lessons at this time.
@@JonathanTaylor63
No problems mate, thanks anyway
I’ll just have to keep watching your videos 👍
Absolutely Love this stuff, Brilliant!
In another video you incorporated a left shoulder movement ("rowing backwards") with the hip rotation (shallow the club out and match shoulder and hip rotation). It's not mentioned in this video. Do you still recommend it?
Yes, it is a good way of stopping your trail shoulder following your hip rotation at the start of your downswing.
I must say, I believe I need to reduce my swing thought(s) to those that begat the best motions. I have a backswing thought that puts my shoulders and my hips into a good position and from your instruction I'm keeping my weight more on the inside right foot during the backswing.

Does this method cause the low point to be behind the ball with irons ?
No,because you have a different ball position.
Do you provide video lessons?
Hello
I'm a french man and i don't write and speak very well english
so what do you think of Justin Thomas swing? he doesn't keep his angles during the realease!!!
Sorry for my english language!!
Bruno from Paris
Does this lower body motion apply to irons as well?
You will see more use of the legs with the irons on the LPGA tour.
Hi Jonathan, Can i just say your instruction is superb. Lots of great ideas on your channel. I have purchased your ebook. Can i ask is there any chance of getting your clips onto a dvd. Would be handy to take to tournaments when i am stuck in the hotel or b and b. I'm up in Scotland and some of the wifi and phone signals are not good. Keep up the good work.
More short game feel drills would be good. I am prone to yip chips. Being a low handicapper i can sometimes get away with it but it takes just one error and my score can be destroyed. Currently going through my club championship qualifying and your tips have helped get some real consistency in place for these high pressure rounds. All the best Steve

Great video! But doesn't this put a lot of pressure on your lower back?
Not at all

I took online lessons from January - April this year. I've been working on most of what you're talking about but I've actually lost speed. I went from swinging with my arms to using my legs and the ground. However, we didn't discuss the head moving down. Maybe that's the part I'm missing. Do you do online lessons?
Most golfers I play with have started golf as adults and never learnt to us their legs.When I play against the county u14s they All use their legs massively! probably overuse them.
Add trackman to the video

The swing you are showing is great, but it´s not what you are teaching.
I am doing what I teach, but it is not what you see.
Maybe, but most weekend golfers stay much too long on the right foot during the swing. The pressure on the left foot (heel), what you need at impact comes way to late. It will not help, when you tell them to stay even longer on the right side. I know, what you really want to explain, but the way you show it will lead to massive missunderstandings.
