- If you want to rotate in your golf swing and also want to eradicate your early extension, then never set up like this! In this video we dive into the massive role that set up has on your body's ability to rotate and maintain posture in the golf swing. If your set up is poor, you will always struggle to achieve a consistent golf swing.

Im so glad I clicked this!! Your correct way was my posture all my life, I excelled as a junior golfer and for the first bit of varsity I won some events and my college coach wanted me to improve so he shifted me to the straighter back along with a few other things.. I tried and tried to make it work thinking it was the right thing but it tore my game, career and my head apart from the inside out. I’ve only recently become semi comfortable with it but I have misses way off to the right (RH swing) which I’ve NEVER had and the hooks trying to correct. Hitting the range right now to see how this feels. I bet it feels like home! Thank you
This was so helpful thank you! I was always striving for that aesthetically pleasing look like Rory’s and always struggled to turn. Thank you for having the audacity to say use poor posture. 😂 this set up really helped me with my backswing.
Can’t explain how much of a savior this video is. Had back straight as a board and could not for the life of me figure out why I always felt out of balance and not being able to get back to the ball on down swing.
This changed EVERYTHING.
Balance is a breeze and solid ball striking.
THANK YOU
Very useful advice that most do not focus upon…because there are so many things to focus on! Thanks much!
I finally got a chance to try this and found I was much more consistent in my strike and distance control... Thanks - Great tip!
Thank you for all of your backyard lessons. They clearly explain how to execute the "modern" swing. After struggling with my iron swing for so long, they're like the holy grail to me.
Thanks Dan, I’m glad you like my videos! You can definitely view it as the “modern swing” but funnily enough, the modern swing is essentially the old school swing of Nicklaus’ era 👍🏼
Set-up for success - we all slip into bad habits occasionally - yet if we just concentrate on drilling this until it is second nature then we eliminate many potential problems....thanks JC !
Absolutely spot on 🤙🏻
Good teaching my good sir ~ keep it coming I've learned so much from it and enjoy how you approach it
Thanks bud! Absolutely, I’ll keep them coming 🤙🏻
Liked your approach to getting the right posture , it was straight to the point easy to understand.
I felt foolish after seeing your posture and comparing it to my posture, my posture was never going to let me hit very good powerful shots now I know why.
Thank you

Great video, I had a lesson a few years ago and the instructor wanted me to set up with the armpits over my feet, hence why I don't pay for lessons anymore here in AUS !!
So today in midweek Stableford stood up more, arse in...much, much better rotation. Thanks so much! 34 points with 3 blobs and putted like Blind Lemon Jefferson (if you know the blues 🤣). Back nine was the best I've struck the ball in many a year 😊
Pretty decent Martin! Imagine what the round could’ve been like with the 3 putts 🔥
@@jchowngolf Your instruction resonates so much with me. Its uncanny. Wish you were nearer!
Excellent tip jc.may be my problem as i often end up off balance on my toes. Will try your recommended set up asap.Thanks .
Absolutely, set up will make a big difference 👍🏼
Great visuals and explanation on how to rotate during swing always had difficulty in the rotation!! Thanks :-)
Thanks Kenneth!
that really makes sense... it's really easy for me to stay 'in balance'... great advice mate...
Thanks Ferdinand!
I play of +3 and due to a motorbike accident I suffered badly for 10 years to play.
I adapted an incorrect position at address like you have shown. In recent times as the injuries went away I struggled to play to a 10 handicap.
It was only 2 months ago this set up was my problem, corrected it exactly like in your video and ball striking is back to top notch.
Great great information people should listen to and use 👍
Awesome to hear this type of set up helped you! Definitely easier on the body
@@jchowngolf I faced amputation of my left leg above the knee due to the injuries.
Took me 4 years to be able to stand and swing at a ball. After another 2 years I could not transfer anything onto my left side and so grew into a different swing. Its now undoing those issues 👍
Wow, amazing advice! Just worked on it 45 min and my early extension resolved. I was getting stuck on the downswing but now am easily turning!Launch monitor showed 15 yard increase in 9 iron distance and it was consistent!! Hopefully I can take it to the course!
Awesome to hear Andy! Well done! 🔥
Excellent. This has stopped me from feeling that I was really stretching for the ball in the set up.
Thanks John! Glad it’s helped 👍🏼
Great instruction video! I think it will help me.
Thanks Bob!
This is definitely something I need to work on.
Really helpful. Saw a video of my swing yesterday, taken by a friend on the course (not for swing training) and i was frankly shocked at my posture, looked absolutely nothing how imagined i was! Really like the analysis here, something i really need to fix!
Thanks Chris! Absolutely, feel vs real is a scary thing in regards to how we look over the ball haha
Another very good one J
Thanks bud!
Thanks . I always worried about my posture 《which is very similar to what you have shown.》not being text book even though I was hitting my irons clean. I made the mistake of trying to change my posture purely for aesthetics. And it really screwed up my game. Thanks for showing me that a more upright stance is just fine. Keep up the great work.
Glad the video helped you!
Another great video John 🏌🏿♂️👍
Thanks Billy!
Posture is so important, but often neglected by (most) golfers. I changed my posture, and it makes a h... of a difference. In fact, I bend more forward now than I used to do, but I definitely try to avoid "sitting back" with my pelvis. I stand up erect, curv my spine slightly forward to avoid extencion in my lower back, bend forward from the hips with my legs stright until I feel a slight strech in the hamstrings (Pete Cowen tip), then I flex my knees slightly. Voila!
You are the england version of gankas 🔥 you are now known as Jgangkas golf 👌💯
Super explanation for my early extension, playing tomorrow so no more shanks 😜
Thanks Michael! It will definitely take some time to cement in with practice 👍🏼
Great video reminds me of Ben Hogan's set up
Fantastic lesson.
Thanks bud!
Excellent, thanks.
Thanks Peter!
Understand what you say. During recent lessons I have been encouraged to stand closer to the ball but it always end up feeling cramped and hit shanks. I'm 6 feet 3.
Enjoy your videos and would appreciate your thoughts.
Excellent tip
Thanks bud!
I love your video's. Could you do one on Tempo?
WOW. Just tried this. What a difference to my ball striking.
Awesome to hear Steve!
Hey Jchown, question, why Shohei Ohtani using right hand to pitch the ball and standing left side to hit the ball, i'm wondering if i should try left swing , what do u think
Thanks for this. Why don’t we see players like Rory and DJ setting up like this? They seem to look more like the first posture you demonstrated
great advice
Thanks Paul!
That’s me
… I have a tendency to early extend, and never could figure out why. But when I record CB my swing down the line, I do looked bent over too much (I’m 6’1). I’m going to try standing more upright. Thanks 🙏🏻
Thanks bud. Once the set up is good, then make sure you’re not doing anything else on the swing that causes early extension. Check out some of my early extension vids if you need any help 👍🏼
@@jchowngolf
This tip might be the holy grail (for me). I played in a scramble yesterday and I may have had the best ball striking day I’ve had in a while, both with my driver AND my irons. I was standing more erect, and I think it worked for me (I always looked like U was too bent over when taking video of my swing).
Time will tell (playing 9-hole league this afternoon and 18 tomorrow). We’ll see. But, at the moment, this seems to work for me.
Thank you 🙏🏻
… keep up the good work
Brill great video
This is good, I'm trying to rotate more, get more open at impact and eliminate a slide on the downswing. The little bit you said about pelvis back when rotating on the downswing is a feel I need to have rather then left hip sliding.
Thanks Graham! My video tomorrow will be absolutely perfect for you as it’s all about getting better rotation and avoiding excessive sliding 👍🏼
This will be wonderfull for older or less athletic golfers. What happens with this though is a greater likelihood you will sway or not stay posted over the back leg and this will open up contact issues and power leaks.
This is good for every golfer, as the more “athletic style” is very inconsistent for every age range and physicality of golfer. The old school set up that I’m talking about here will certainly not encourage a sway, it will give you a far greater chance to remain centred as you turn, due to the less physical strain put on the body due to the “athletic” poor set up
Great lesson, been trying to make that L posture and its killing me
This is great
Thanks Ken!
Good stuff
Thanks Mike!
So good to see instructors teaching George Gankas fundamentals.
I like your theory however if you look at current number 1 John Rham he has very short back swing
This is exactly what I am struggling with. Early extension/ straight back
Absolutely, a very common combo
I have been trying to fix it for over a month now. This is something I will look at. Too many heel strikes. Particularly with driver
Worked on this today and def struck the ball better
Could not have said it better myself. I struggle with this. Will try next time on the course.
Hi JC! I have startet to get a lot of pain in my lower back! Can my bodyposteur be my problem! It hurts like h…!!!!!
But what about shorter clubs?…
Absolutely, your posture at set up can certainly be the problem. This applies to all clubs 👍🏼
Hi again JC! Thanks for your answer! I will start some treatment from a fysioterapeut! And then I hopefully Can start playing again!
PS! Love your wideoes! All the best from Hans-Jørn, 65 years Young! 😄😄😄
Tremendous! I was taught the wrong way 30 years ago..."bend the knees and stick your arse out"
Thanks Martin! I was too in my early golfing life. Luckily set up instruction is going back to how the greats set up to the ball 🤙🏻
Great
Do you feel like your standing taller. ?
Funny enough I use this set up in fairway bunkers and usually get great contact . Much to my playing partners suprise. Then it's back to struggling on the fairway.!!
You will definitely feel taller when setting up like this, but you have to make sure your mid and upper back is slightly rounding so you’re not standing overly tall 👍🏼
Hi Johnathan im a mature 7 handicapper and have been trying this type of set up however I now tend to fall backwards at top of follow through. Could this be because iam too upright?
Hi Tony. It generally could be. Make sure you still have a very slight flex in your legs with a rounded upper back 👍🏼
Tom Kite right before he pulled the club back would straighten his legs slightly 🤔
Thanks for the tip, pro!
Glad you liked it Philip 👍🏼
What about a 60 degree wedge? Would you still have straight legs and not bent over?
Same with 60 👍🏼
Another great video mate. Can you do a video on the lie angle on the golf club at address . I think this so important and generally not understood . Thanks
Thanks David! Sounds like a good topic!
I just changed to this type of posture after a recent lesson, have had lessons in the past being taught the wrong way and it set me back big time.
I'm now bombing my shots 30 yards further with less effort, I mean why the hell were we being taught that way....so annoying and didn't work for consistency or enjoyment.
Awesome to hear Robert! Unfortunately there was no massive reason behind setting up the way you’re referring too other than it looked “athletic”. It certainly doesn’t get players moving athletically that’s for sure. The old school way of setting up to the ball like Nicklaus works the best 👍🏼
Deffinetely, it's not the first time I have watched your videos and had a great golf realisation. Thanks for your content. It's brilliant ⛳🏌❤.
Subbed
Thanks bud!
I need lessons with you ......!
I do online lessons on an app called Skillest 👍🏼
@@jchowngolf
I will definately investigate the link.
Although I'm not far, away. I just love the way you come across.
Thoughts on the Me and My Golf matching outfit guys? Seems like they are caught in a David Leadbetter Golf Digest article from the 90s.
They definitely have some great content. Their new videos over the past few years is more modern 👍🏼
Where should one keep their weight at at address? Balls of the feet?
The takeaway I took from this video was to keep the legs straighter at setup.
With the pelvis tucked underneath your body and rounding your spine from mid back upwards 👍🏼
I agree ;-)
Absolutely haha 🤙🏻
You are God's gift to all of us struggling hackers.
Start from 3:00
Very interesting, I feel like this is a European style of setting up. Your setup is very Louis oostuzuen.
Louis Oosthuizen is South African 🇿🇦
Where’s your weight in your feet: heel, shoelaces or balls of feet? Thank you!
I prefer mid foot 👍🏼
Works for me too JC! Thanks for your reply! Enjoy your channel man!
...I just saw three seasons in the video.
😁👍
Thanks Milorad! 👍🏼
This is the first video I'm sort of struggling to agree with. I've been checking out many of your videos and implementing your drills and advise into my own game and have seen big improvements. Mostly though your videos promote 'simple' ways of understanding how to improve and practice a better golf swing to make it more efficient and consistent. Generally improving your swing to get closer to the type of swing you see with the best players in the world. However this video seems to promote something I'm seeing none of the best players in the world do, they almost seem to universally flex their knees much more and stick out their pelvis behind the body. Maybe I'm missing something here but how could this type of setup be severely restricting rotation and swing ability if many of the best players seem to be doing it?
Look at the pros that have come up in the last 5 years and pros from the Nicklaus era and draw a line from their armpits down the their feet, they’re all over the balls of the feet. You’re correct at most pros have very flexed knees with their pelvis behind them, as most top pros where taught under the aesthetical “perfect swing” instruction of the 90’s and early 00’s. Most players of which are constantly plagued by lower back pain and can repeat their pattern to a high level through countless hours of repetition and high skill. Not something I would want to teach to golfers out of a health stand point and technical stand point and time stand point. Very much a case of don’t make golf hard for yourself without warrant.
@@jchowngolf I see, that makes perfect sense. Thanks for the response!
Was really liking the videos but you know the information is dated when you have to use examples like Nicklaus and Snead.
why does it you so long too show to do it right?
Looks like a recipe for bashing the ground behind the ball
How so?
@@jchowngolf with the slight bend in back. If I don’t feel like I’m upright and tall I always hit several inches behind the ball. I have to hover the bottom of the club at the top of the ball and stand tall.
You talk to much , getting confused with what you are doing
