Excellent video Brian on an effective body alignment routine. I am always particular about ball position and target area. I like your idea of paying attention to the right shoulder being pushed back of the left shoulder at address. Because I have an in to out club path, this works fine for me as long as the ball position is back a little. I try to hit draws more than power fades! As Usual Brian, Well Done!!!
As usual you are all over it John. Ball position is critical and you have worked it out well. Fades slightly forward and draws slightly back. Have a great week. Brian
Thanks Brian, in my opinion this is the most important part of the swing. I'd heard that more than 80% of our errors come from the alignment of the shoulders, and this has always proved true! Merci Brian bonne journée et bon golf.
C'est tout à fait vrai, Marc. Les golfeurs viennent me voir pour des cours de swing de golf en s'attendant à ce que je modifie leur swing de golf. Je passe la plupart de mon temps à régler leur équipement. Profitez du soleil, Brian
Great video with superb views. As a fader of the ball I can totally relate to all of the faults shown in the lesson. Hopefully I can try the tips on.Tuesday. A WWBD moment will occur on the first tee when the driver is needed. Stay safe and thanks Brian.
My office is pretty damn good I must admit. The heating system is back working again. I even wore a golf shirt last week without the 3 extra layers. I hope you have cracking day for it on Tuesday. I’ll be with you in spirit. Brian
Great video Brian, you definitely sorted my shoulder /hip position. I'm finding doing those warm up practice swings before each drive gives me more control
Very good information brian. You nailed it. I tend to error with pull to pull draw and I know I tend to have open shoulders but never fix it. Occasionally I will force them right but it feels extremely closed.
Glad you enjoyed it Tim. It does feel weird at first but you do get used to it very quickly. Especially when the shots finish on the fairway more often. Brian
Thanks Brian, these checks are right on my priority list at the moment. Had a good 86 round on Sunday, 5 under net... sometimes golf things go to plan! Cheers :)
Hi Brian, thank you for this reminder video. I am fortuately enough to able to shape my shots from fade, drive and even slices. However, am I correct that a big fade does lost out a lot in distance just like a slice ? By the way, I always like your teaching method and it is very easy to understand. Thank you once again.
Hi Brain, Thank you for this reminder video on alignment. I am fortunately enough to able to shape my shots from fade, draw and slice. However, am I correct to say that a big fade as shown does lose out all of distance ? By the way, I always like your teaching method as it is always easy to understand. Thank you once again 🙂
In the main big fades don’t go as far as a draw. It’s due to the higher side spin rate. But it’s not all about distance. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I appreciate your nice comments. Brian
You will notice that as you move your shoulders your hips will also move. Although not connected physically. If one moves the other follows. Your feet hips and shoulders should be aligned with each other. Thanks fir the question Dan. Brian
The shoulders. Yes. A problem. I forget which PGA Pro does this, but to align his shoulders properly, he actually addresses the ball around 6-12" behind it, so as to make his shoulders square. I've tried this. It's sort of helpful. But it takes a bit for it to not "feel funny".
It’s one way of doing it and it does work for some people. However some people just keep drop kicking or hitting chunky shots. It’s worth giving a go. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Brian
I have found when working with clients facing similar issues as you describe. By focussing on your club face angle at impact more the path improves without thinking about it. It’s uncanny. Best of luck with your golf. Brian
@@fitzygolfpro Your point about the ball too forward opening the shoulders was a good one for me. Been to the range and had an hour or so and there was some improvement. Thanks. I had better subscribe. Done. Cheers.
Hi Brian
I agree with you and you explained it do well .The golf world should be grateful for all your contributions and love to help others
Thank you Dee. I really appreciate that. Your support and friendship means the world to me.
Brian
Thanks Brian - another great tip as always. I'll keep working on it!
Thanks Steve.
I hope you get out and enjoy the sun today it’s magnificent.

Thanks Peter. I just made the suggestions and you went out and did it.
I hope you get out for a hit today.

I agree i may get them to straighten out brian but slowly revert back to open by habit lol

Nice work Adi!
Just keep sticking to your plan and don't get side tracked.
Brian
Some fantastic tips, and a good reminder, as I"m just getting back into gof. Cheers!
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Brian
Good Morning Brian,
Another informative and well explained video.
Cheers
Joe
Thanks Joe.
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
What a cracking day it is out there. I hope get to go out in it.
Brian
@fitzygolfpro Yes, a great day. I hope you do get the chance to get a round in. Have a great day Brian.

Never had anyone explain this with visual geez great job I’ve got try to shape it by design
I'm glad it was helpful.

@@fitzygolfpro it certainly got me thinking about my own setup. I’ll give it a try in the range later in the week
Great video. Thanks Brian.
My pleasure. I am glad you got something out of it.
Brian
This is me!! 😂- Great explanation Tnx … 😊
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Brian
Brian this was a carbon copy of a lesson (or two) you have done with me. I felt like it was well personalised.
To a degree it was Paul. I just played your part.
I hope you are enjoying a little more sun.
Brian
Plenty of sun here in Port Douglas Brian!! I will be catching up with you when I get back.
@@paulchesterman5744 I am sure you're able to cope with it Paul.
Enjoy.
How does hip alignment fit in with this? What if your hips were aligned left but feet and shoulders were square?
You will notice that as you move your shoulders your hips will also move.
Although not connected physically. If one moves the other follows. Your feet hips and shoulders should be aligned with each other.
Thanks fir the question Dan.

For a fade the face has to be open to the path but closed to the target. I had a Pro 30 years ago teaching me and he didn't know that.
It does indeed.
Brian
@@fitzygolfpro My problem right now is I've lost my path, face to path and timing. Glad they let me carry a wedge and a putter! Simon

I see this so often when my playing partners are putting, the shoulders dont match their feet....they then have that stance for their full shots.
I am glad you see what I see.
