Excellent reminder Giles to stay "tension free" in the golf swing! I'm always working on relaxed wrists and supple forearms. I've just recently adopted the two arm forehand style of swinging. I liked your suggestion of the chest being ahead of the clubhead at impact with the right shoulder and clubhead meeting at the ball at the same time. Well Done Giles!
Hi Giles, thank you as this is a great example to achieve a tension free swing shot that will enable golfers to drop some shots. Can’t wait to replicate this drill. Feel vs real. Love it. I must say that since subscribing to your channel my passion for golf has increased. Cheers.
For me the swing thought is bowing the lead (left, I'm right-handed) wrist at the top of the backswing. But, I like your thought of "turning the steering wheel" clockwise so the trail hand (my right) rotates downward - which does the same thing, bow the lead wrist. I do like the alignment stick drill at the end, which I will definitely try.
Could you please cover, 1. Club face at address from the players’ POV. I struggle to keep it square while moving from club to club. They all look slightly different. 2. How to open the hips before starting the downswing in the correct sequence. My hips are open at impact, buy only by a few degrees and not as much I would like to. Thanks in advance What’s the way to reach you? Skillis being the only option?
Hey Giles - question - on your analogy of turning the steering wheel upon starting the down swing. For me, I notice when I do that (and I think you had a video on this) that it opens the club face a huge amount - requiring a much bigger need to sort of return the club face to neutral by impact. This is really hard to do especially in longer clubs. What am I (or us) doing wrong that when turning that steering wheel, we're really opening the club face, making it much more likely to have an open face at impact? Does that question make sense? I feel like I'm missing something there between doing that steering wheel movement but not laying the club off so much that the face becomes massively open.
Was working on this only today…got most of it nailed, but I do think any video discussing this motion has to also address the impact it has on the club face. Without any adjustment, this move opens the club face up and sends the ball right. Bending the wrist as shown in the video, doesn’t close the face.
Make sure you are bowing the lead wrist, not cupping. You can either bow the left (leading wrist) or rotate the trailing (right wrist) 90 degrees downward towards the ground. Keeping that bow position drops the club (shallows it) during the downswing. If you maintain the bow and freeze at the ball you should see the club face squared.
@@Gilesgillgolf must thank you a lot Giles. You have helped my swing a lot more than my coach, to the point I no longer go to my coach for lessons for my swing but for putting. Thanks a million for adding a shot to my arsenal I did not have before. Very much appreciated ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi everyone, what’s your swing thought that helps you achieve a good delivery position? (We all feel movements differently)
Right shoulder low. Hands club handle and left arm in one line.
@@mikewilliams1479 great swing thoughts there

Such an important & key part of the swing

Good luck!
U really need more subs. You're one of the best instructors on TH-cam!!
Wish I had more 😂

Plenty of ways to do it which is great

What’s the way to reach you? Skillis being the only option?
Yes Skillest is the only way to reach me
For me it's right shoulder down, and simultaneously right knee in 😊
Nice thought!
This is exactly what my golf coach get's me working on 😊
Amazing!

Using your wrists & also controlling the club with the right palm point down to the ground at deliver

Don’t have to bow the wrist. Multiple ways of squaring the face & I would say bowing the wrist is the hardest option
Right shoulder down chest forward is like Xander Schauffele kinda look. Chopstick drill with mop handle works best for me
It’s a great feeling

@@mikewilliams1479 wow that’s amazing. I’m glad I can help you so much with your swing
I suffer from getting shanks or open faces when applying this move. How to fix it? Not a single clue.
Face is open either from grip or trail hand staying under the grip twisting the face open
Giles I must confess .. You are not one of the Best Golf Pro. YOU ARE THE BEST ONE 👏👏👏
Wow, thank you!!
I badly suffer from getting shanks or open faces when applying this move with irons. How to fix it? Not a single clue.

The concept is only hard in golf because of the 2nd hand on the club. 2 hands fighting over for dominant.
Interesting
