This video really helped me clarify a bit more of my bad swings. I have developed good side crunch and a much shallower club in the down swing however I still struggle with thin and fat shots more than I like. I hadn’t thought of dropping the right shoulder too early but I am sure I am doing that to avoid swinging over the top. I started doing the impact drill on my own which really helps but I wasn’t sure why it worked so well and when I would go back to full swings it was hard to get back to good impact position. Your video makes a lot sense that dropping the right shoulder looks really good as you are not going over the top but if you drop it to soon it creates a lot of other problems. It also helps me if I get to the right side sooner and more open to the target which makes a huge difference! Great video illustrating of the problems of dropping the right shoulder too soon. Not many TH-cam videos talking about this. Big help. Thanks!
Wow ! Watched this a couple of times and took the feeling of hitting the ball with my R shoulder to the range and hit ball after ball through the bag with a penetrating ball flight and as straight as anyone would wish for
great instruction boss! I have never hit better, proper posture (bend and tilt) - then left shoulder down on backswing and right shoulder down at strike.
Dude, you crack me up. I can watch fancy swing coaches from all over the world, exotic backgrounds, etc. But you, with your beat-up mat, net, and backyard setup (London maybe?) are as good an instructor (and often better) as any of those guys. Seriously, you have helped me with some details more than any others out there. One thing, something I've figure out is that the way to prevent a side-bend-drop-back movement with the right shoulder is to get the right elbow and forearm moving properly on the downswing AND to make sure the back of the left shoulder rotates back at the same time. That gets the shoulders moving in a rotary fashion, and things improve fast.
The right side bend or tilt at impact has always been my nemesis. Using the right shoulder to hit the ball feeling works well for me and has helped me tremendously. Thanks for confirming and sharing. Cheers.
After watching several of your instructional vids, I would rate you as one of the better, practical instructor out there. Subscribed, and look forward to more from you!
A good feeling for me is feeling that stretch in the lead shoulder as I transition, with the side bend you’re teaching, so I feel like I can rip that lead should up and out with my hips. Took me a long time to understand that speed is created at the bottom, and from the top it’s more about getting the club into a good position for that. More powerful and controlled swing compared to the days where I’d try to have a go at the ball from the top.
A pro once told me to feel like I was in an upstairs bedroom leaning out of the window tilted (right shoulder down) and looking left down the street. Very effective for me.
This is one of the secret moves in becoming a scratch player. I hit my driver better than anyone that I play with by using correct right side bend. The club face control is amazing. Excellent video on a topic that isn’t focused on near enough.
Man, you're really hitting all of the right notes for me lately. The last video I watched was about getting the lower body moving forward BEFORE starting the downswing, something that I know has been a problem of mine. And here's the other one... even when I do get my lazy lower body moving early, I often ruin it by immediately dropping my right shoulder the moment I start my downswing, which inevitably results in hitting behind the ball. One of these days I'll figure out how to synch up all of these great tips and I'll finally starting hitting some consistently solid golf shots.
Such a great video. I seem to get to shft parallel to ground and then my arms release and hips stop moving so is this the drill for me? Also I've seen you stop at the parallel position and hit from there too? What reps when at the range do you recommend drill/shots ratio?
Thanks for the great video I like you mentioning dropping the right shoulder @ the right time That's what makes this channel different My problem is my inability to have some separation from the right arm to the right shoulder p5 to last parallel I measured that in your swing - very little movement and perfect [Your drop is from about p6} That would make a great video In the meantime any ideas how to separate p5 to p6 ? Many thanks
Hi Jonathan, thanks so much for the amazing video and I’ve found the pre set rotation drill super helpful. But one thing I’m wondering is I can always hit it well with the drill, but when I go back to normal setup I cannot hit it well. Can I just keep using the drill at address? In other words, how is a normal setup better than a setup with the drill?
Thanks bud! Keep repping the drill and implement the feel into your normal shots. Take a look at your variables too. There may be something in your swing stopping you from rotating
Brilliant stuff. Does the same feel of right shoulder winning the race to the ball apply for driver as well? I’ve tried your other feel video of left pec being over left foot with irons and zipper being over belt buckle for driver with big success recently.
I tried putting the right shoulder where the ball was or hitting with the right shoulder and was amazed at the power increase as well as distance and alignment but be careful you can pinch a nerve in your back pretty easy.
When I try to get low or squat, my brain reacts and makes me think I'm going to dig the club in the ground. And my subconscious makes me stand up... It works when I do a practice swing , but when the ball gets there, subconscious kicks in.... Anything to help?
Tried this for a few mins and my sacrum/back is flared up. The pre set position is horrible on my body, I think it’s ok at speed during the actual swing but hurts like hell doing it slowly
Have you looked at your trail elbow position? J's tip kind of requires you to your trail elbow tucked in and right arm bent through impact which requires you to drop your right shoulder to actually hit the ball.
Shoulder down only works if you also focus on having right arm bent at impact, otherwise your body will naturally stand up to not hit the ground. Could be that you only need to focus on having the right arm bent at impact as you can see on the video where he starts at impact position. If the arm is bent the body has to tilt down to be able to hit the ball. Also, sometimes too much focus on HITTING the ball can get the body to stiffen up, the ball should just be in the way of the swing, much more of a sweeping feeling.
Bro, the powers that be at Big Golf are going to take you down! Careful posting these sensible drills!!! Keep up the good work!

I used The crunching down, right side bend feel at the range and on the course today....made a huge difference ......thanks!
Amazing video and one of the best feels I’ve heard feeling the right shoulder in front of the club head!
Wow ! Watched this a couple of times and took the feeling of hitting the ball with my R shoulder to the range and hit ball after ball through the bag with a penetrating ball flight and as straight as anyone would wish for
Brilliant video! This enables the hands to keep low and close to both legs as you turn, allowing the club to whip through - IF YOU LET IT!
Great video! Thanks! Now I know why I shank & early extend!!!

Good Video, drop the right shoulder at impact, I did it today and I was hitting the ball solid!
Thanks for your tips😊
really cool... what about the wrist at impact? can you have a video on this? many thanks
Thanks Ken. Got a video in the works all about it. Stay tuned 🤙🏻
A pro once told me to feel like I was in an upstairs bedroom leaning out of the window tilted (right shoulder down) and looking left down the street. Very effective for me.
Awesome, I like that!
I did that... and fell
@@edwardvanberckel4736 , four stories…onto my golf bag!!! 😂 (all jokes aside, I will use that imagery to help get into position).
Hmm, not a bad idea
Thank u so much that is a great feel can't wait to try that
this is right here is what makes golf really tough. timing that right shoulder at impact takes a LOT of practice. But this video really helps! thanks😊
Great tips

Played today and took the feeling of hitting the ball with the right shoulder to the course ………. Hit awesome shots and felt totally in control

Yes-driver too.
Another great video..
Thanks Frank!
I tried putting the right shoulder where the ball was or hitting with the right shoulder and was amazed at the power increase as well as distance and alignment but be careful you can pinch a nerve in your back pretty easy.
yeah, although it makes sense; it seems like their might be a narrow margin for error here in terms of potential for back injury/pain
does this apply to wedge shots?
When do you fire your right arm?
I definitely hit the heel/shank most of the time… very frustrating.
Okay. I’ll come up with a list. Probably about 10 or 12 months hat I can think of.
Do you do this for driver as well ?
Yes.
When I try to get low or squat, my brain reacts and makes me think I'm going to dig the club in the ground. And my subconscious makes me stand up... It works when I do a practice swing , but when the ball gets there, subconscious kicks in.... Anything to help?
Do you give lessons
I do. There’s a link with more info in the video description 👍🏼
@@jchowngolf Thank you, sir!
It’s those little things that make a BIG difference.
Tried this for a few mins and my sacrum/back is flared up. The pre set position is horrible on my body, I think it’s ok at speed during the actual swing but hurts like hell doing it slowly
I just noticed the strap. Is it holding up the tree? 😛
Haha. More like the tree stopping the uk wind from blowing the net into the neighbours garden 😂
Great video! Thanks! My only question is that have the balls ever escaped through the right gap into your neighbors' backyard 😄
Alot of pros make very unnatural moves.
😁👍
Thanks bud!
His bad shot is better than my good shot…
No matter what I do, for some reason, I cannot do this move. But shoulder down on the backswing is no problem.
Have you looked at your trail elbow position? J's tip kind of requires you to your trail elbow tucked in and right arm bent through impact which requires you to drop your right shoulder to actually hit the ball.
Keep repping it out. It takes a long time 🤙🏻
@@jchowngolf I've tried tilting away from the target, I've tried the feeling of scraping the ground with my right shoulder, nothing works lol
Imagine or actually try to skip a large flat stone. It won't skip unless you get enough side bend at impact or release of the stone
Shoulder down only works if you also focus on having right arm bent at impact, otherwise your body will naturally stand up to not hit the ground. Could be that you only need to focus on having the right arm bent at impact as you can see on the video where he starts at impact position. If the arm is bent the body has to tilt down to be able to hit the ball. Also, sometimes too much focus on HITTING the ball can get the body to stiffen up, the ball should just be in the way of the swing, much more of a sweeping feeling.
Right shoulder. Check. I am “like” 848
