Thank you for choosing my video! I'm thrilled to have you on board as I've created this channel to assist fellow golfers in their quest to master the game. Learning golf can be quite a challenge, but don't worry - I'm here to provide guidance and support.
In my early days of learning, I too faced the struggle of improving my game. Despite diving into books and videos, progress seemed elusive. Through years of dedicated study of swing biomechanics and testing various techniques, I've developed a systematic approach to mastering the golf swing.
On this TH-cam channel, I deliver cutting-edge training that's currently yielding real results for my clients. Regardless of where you stand in your golfing journey - whether you're a beginner, dealing with flexibility concerns, or aiming to lower your handicap - this platform is designed to cater to your needs. It's a community where you can learn, exchange ideas, ask questions, and find the support required to relish this wonderful sport.
Be prepared for an authentic journey. If you're looking for quick fixes, I might not be your ideal source. Instead, I offer step-by-step guidance that you can directly apply on the practice range and course. It demands dedication, embracing mistakes, consistent practice, and the joy of watching your scores progressively improve.
With the privilege of coaching thousands of students worldwide, I'm excited to extend the challenge to you. If you're ready to step up and dive into the game, let's embark on this journey together!

Which key is most important for you?
If I had to pick one it's getting myself to not fire my chest around as soon as I get to the top. I really need to focus on letting my lower body start the downswing transition.
For the step drill, should I feel like I'm falling forward into place via gravity on transition? Or should it feel like my trail leg is pushing me forward?
@@lpeabody great question & it should be from pushing off the right
@@Gilesgillgolf post on trail leg. I have a tilted trail foot at rest- the sway is difficult to eliminate. So I think the aspect of the takeaway that is critical is proper sequence/relationship/ of the trail leg post
General comment from New Jersey USA. I’m retired and have a lot of time to watch TH-cam golf instruction. A mean a whole lot, much of it from UK instructors. Many very good. I don’t comment nearly at all but am breaking silence to say I think you are the best I’ve seen. I’m a 25 hcp but am on the
ascendency 👍
Wow thank you so much! Hope my content helps you improve
That slight pause at the top has made all the difference in the world for a guy who used to rush his downswing & often early extend. Those light thumbs are also good for chipping too.
Exactly to both of them. Such good simple thoughts
Hi Giles played golf yesterday with the light thumbs thought shot 82 missed about 5 putts 43 out 39 in par 72 will keep on trying thanks for the advice 👍🏴
Amazing! Keep up the good playing
The push back and light thumbs resonated with me. Re-training decades of bad habits is hard to do but these two swing thoughts have me going in the right direction. Thanks!
Amazing!
Two thumbs up for the thumb drill, Giles! I feel a slightly different (& better) club path when using this drill - can feel the club dropping nicely into the slot. My normal ball flight trajectory is a lower line drive, and this drill gives me a higher ball flight. I also find that pausing at the top ensures time to shift toward the target, and get pressure into the lead side foot before starting the downswing.
I will definitely use light thumbs thought on the course tomorrow; thanks to your student who recommended this.
And thank you for another excellent video!
Thank you & amazing you could feel the difference straight away!
Another amazing video. Giles I've always noticed form watching your vids at the top of your swing it's almost like your club kind of hangs there for a second before starting your downswing. Now after watching this it seems like it's the slight pause at the top feel that causes that. You make it look effortless!
Yes, exactly that and that’s actually the swing thought that I use when I’m out on the golf course
Great stuff. tempo is SO super important for your golf swing. One thing that has also helped me is paying attention to gravity... like doing a backswing and just feeling the club drop back down at the speed of gravity. Letting gravity dictate the speed of the downswing at first and then gently accelerating from there seems to work nicely for me.
That’s another great swing thought right there
The thumb trick is magic! Thanks!
It’s such a cool swing thought
The two perfections in golf - rhythm and tempo!
Well handled😊
Thank you!
I like to walk and move quickly when going somewhere (like you and Rory). Both a 1-2-3 swing tempo (like Ernie Els and Fred Couples) and a 1-2 tempo (like Nick Price, or Rory with his early transition) have worked for me. I think when my arms and chest are more synchronized in their pace and stopping position for top of swing is when I get better shots. Conversely, if my arms abduct across my chest and arm swing gets long (making upper body be ahead of arms coming down, arms never being capable of catching up the swing is more of a struggle, feels like it takes more effort, and produces slower speeds. It gives the illusion of a slower tempo overall, but is really more of an out of sequence making the swing take longer).
Got to find what works for you
Thanks for the review! Swing anomalies happen because golfers are not sure that what they are doing is correct!
Correct concepts are key
Light thumbs is a great thought
Super simple but works a treat
Thanks for this video, Giles. I'm getting back into golf after 5-year layoff. I couldn't play due to lower back issues. I've lost considerable distance since trying to play again, which is causing me to swing too hard and rush the downswing. I can't get it through to my brain to swing smooth. I will try the drills you recommend and hopefully start eliminating the fat and thin shots I've been experiencing lately. When I do swing smooth, I generally make solid contact. Thanks again!!
Often to gain speed you’ve got to relax & focus on rhythm. Hope you get that speed back
I start still and careful so I get stiff. Then I try to hit it from the top... Thanks for this video.
Glad this helped!
Excellent video Giles on how to create TEMPO and RHYTHM in one's golf swing. Of your suggestions, I like the "push back" and the "light thumbs" drill the best. Always learning and validating from you Giles! Keep up the good work!
Amazing John! Great to hear you like those suggestions and it’s validating your thoughts
Love that thank you 👍
No problem!
I switched to a 2 hand grip instead of interlocking many years ago. I felt there was more flexibility for me to hinge. I also took my trailing hand thumb off the grip to grip a bit more like a baseball bat with my bottom(trailing) hand. That also gave more flexibility but more importantly it took away the tendency to cast the club and helped to allow centrifugal force to be the speed generator in my swing.
I don’t swing any faster but I definitely don’t have to work so hard for the speed either
Unconventional but if it works then do it
I never realized I was firing with my chest too early. This video is really helpful for me.
Amazing! Glad it helped
“Light thumbs” works for me.
When I’m warming up in the nets, I will even ‘grip’ (if that’s the right word) the club in the gap between forefinger and the next finger of my right (trail) hand. That really does make it impossible to grip it tight and allows a really free, relaxed swing.
Great! Do what works for you
Excellent simple easy to follow .very helpful thanks refreshing
Glad it was helpful!
The pause at the top is critical to prevent rushing the downswing and allowing you to let your weight shift on to the left or lead leg. It allows the momentum of the heavy chunk of metal (the club head) going back to come to a stop and change to momentum in the opposite direction in the downswing. If you want the use names to help set this rhythm, two good ones are Vijay Singh (stretch out the first name as in Vee Jaaaay and make the last one short and a bit explosive) and Ernie Els.
Great suggestions there!
Adam Scott
Thank you for the video!! Well done, and with some great advice.
Glad it was helpful!
I hit with my right thumb off, like palming it over the joint in my thumb. Seems like it helps me make better contact, think my right hand is to dominating
Amazing! Do what works for you
I find that if I hit casual like I’m doing a pitch shot then the way the ball behaves because of my easy relaxed swing is so much better
That’s a great way of getting that slower smoother tempo
Excellent explanation. Thank you 🙏
Hope it helps
Yes yes yes so good my man
Thank you!
So so so so good
Thank you!
Another banger.
Thank you!
Great vid..How do you translate the step drill into an actual swing ?
The same feeling of pushing into the left foot but just without stepping
More relax and slow style
Amazing!
Fred Couples: "smooth and ugly, is better than fast and ugly"
Exactly that!
if I pause at the end of my back swing then my down swing is ultra fast and it causes every sort of flaws
It’s about being smooth & not just pausing to pause
I can't believe you can hit a golf ball with both thumps off the club. The club just wiggles in my hands. Lol I tried.!!
Shows you haven’t got the club in the correct part of your hand. That’s a grip issue there
