Beginner's Golf Guide: How To HIT THE BALL!

Episode 7 of an ongoing series in which I'll show you how to go from never picking up a golf club or hitting a ball, to impressing your friends down the range with your newfound skill set!
Hopefully, you find this course helpful and learn something new each time! This time I'm showing you the importance of turning your chest on your downswing, not your arms! This stops us from slicing the ball and helps us make good contact with the ball and the face of the club. It also helps keep our swing consistent and allows us to gain more control over both direction of the ball, and the tempo of the swing.
So, From the last video, keep practising bringing the club down to your pocket and turning your chest like I've shown you in this video and you will be on your way to creating an incredibly solid base for your golf swing!
As always any questions let me know in the comments below!

Like this. Help with weight shift and face control also.

I will have more advanced guides coming but a lot of the time, a simple thought can help with multiple different things!
Appreciate the comment pal

Arms down using gravity is a good mindset - but be very mindful of “ turning “ - far too many amateur golfers are obsessed with the word “ turn “ and do turn - hips and shoulders - but way too early - throwing the club - outwards - ( anything in a rotational form will try to move out ) the hips will open up slightly at impact but the torso and shoulders should be more level ( particularly with the driver in hand ) but I like the use of gravity -

[@nitinarora986]

Looks too easy.
How do you compress the ball (with some speed), if the club falls with gravity half way down down (so close to the point of impact)..

If you use Instagram feel free to drop me a DM and il send a detailed video on how this works.
The shortish answer is, better technique and slower speeds will actually generate more speed as your body won't stall through the shot.
Many people think arms moving quickly is speed.... They are very wrong, if your body has to stop or compensate in order for you to make contact with the golf ball then you lose alot of speed.
So this feeling / drill keeps the club head wide and will keep you on a better plane then with the body rotating your consistency will improve as this is a very repeatable action.
