This ONE Move Added 57 Yards To My Drives!

It's no secret that distance is key now in golf. In todays video I will show you one crucial move to optimise your drives so you can hit the ball further and straighter than ever before!
The downswing, impact and follow through are the money zones of the golf swing. I see so many golfers struggle with having the correct amount of shoulder tilt through impact. As a result your angle of attack, club path and overall strike is compromised. This then affects your distance and accuracy. By having the correct amount of side bend and tilt through impact you will optimise your impact conditions helping you your drivers longer and straighter than ever before.
In this video I run through a series of downswing drills, impact drills and follow through drills that will help you learn how to extend the lead side of your body correctly through impact. Do this and you might just gain 57 yards like me!
Check out this video and like always let me know what other golf coaching videos you would like to see!

In my early days of learning, I too faced the struggle of improving my game. Despite diving into books and videos, progress seemed elusive. Through years of dedicated study of swing biomechanics and testing various techniques, I've developed a systematic approach to mastering the golf swing.
On this KZfaq channel, I deliver cutting-edge training that's currently yielding real results for my clients. Regardless of where you stand in your golfing journey - whether you're a beginner, dealing with flexibility concerns, or aiming to lower your handicap - this platform is designed to cater to your needs. It's a community where you can learn, exchange ideas, ask questions, and find the support required to relish this wonderful sport.
Be prepared for an authentic journey. If you're looking for quick fixes, I might not be your ideal source.

Getting to the lead side and side bend is important with every club…. There’s a lot of power stored doing this.

Awesome Giles! You gave it a "little bit of a knock!" I like the swing you are promoting in order to generate more distance. I have been using something similar but not quite as severe (after all I'm a senior golfer) but I am definitely generating more distance. I'm trying to takeaway with a left shoulder push and pulling back the right shoulder more and then rebound off of that movement on the downswing. Always a pleasure to watch what you're advocating Giles! Keep up the good work!!

If you stop an consider the role the mass of the lead arm in the golf swing you will realize what adding side bend action to the downswing does. Lead arm and club are, mechanically, very similar to the dual-level action of a Trebuchet which rapidly accelerates a rock in a sling around a more massive and slower moving lever arm. The rock gets flung a great distance in whatever direction that heavier, slower ,moving primary lever is pointing. When what side bending of the spine affects in the golf swing is the direction and force vector of the lead arm mass relative to ground (affecting gravity assisted acceleration and more distance) and relative to the target line (affecting accuracy). It also affects the shifting of the axis of rotation for the club head during the downswing. During the backswing and start of the downswing the club head swings around the lead shoulder joint. But as the club force is allowed to pull the trail arm straight the axis of rotation starts to shift to spine then trail shoulder as both arms are pulled straight, then lead arm starts to fold down and trail arm and shoulder socket bear all the swing force. This will occur in swings with and without side bend action; what the side bending does is change the timing of when it occurs. A swing with side bend will have a more elliptical path which keep the club head tracking near the ball-target line longer. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line so given the same amount of striking force the ball hit straighter will go further. 😊

I think a lot of amateurs get into this movement by trying to fix an early extension. They end up not extending at all because they get scared of standing up out of posture. But you actually need to stand up (extend) once you have shifted weight to your lead side. As you feel you stand up, it actually creates rotation and clubhead speed as it releases.

@Gilesgillgolf Жыл бұрын

You do always extend but like in the name players do it too early. It’s understanding how to get into the right position and then extend from there

Welcome to the modern world of golf. Try doing that with a Balata ball and these pros would never find a fairway. In baseball as long as it goes over the fence it’s a Home run. I give you credit. You have explained how these guys are now hitting it mile weighing 170 pounds. Very informative

The balata balls you could never hit flat out but nowadays with the equipment you can

Oooh !!! Good one. I will certainly report back. I can tell you that my carry at this moment with a Ping G410 plus is only about 200 yds. with range balls. If I hit the back fence that will be about 225 yds. so we'll see. My goal has been just a bit more I would like to see 235 but that's a bit of an ask given my age. 235 yds. with some rollout would be very satisfactory because actual play would be with a much better golf ball.

You’ll usually see about a 10% difference between range balls and normal balls but hopefully these tips can help you get over the line consistently

Interesting, I'm going to try this at the range tomorrow. Just practicing at home I noticed with my shorter clubs like wedges I naturally have that lean and those are my best clubs. But my longer clubs my shoulders are much more flat and I can struggle with them. Going to see if that extra tilt helps.

Just starting out. 57yrs old. I fully understand the logic and physics behind your swing. As an older beginner, is there a concern about the stress placed on the back when trying to max it out? Is there a more body friendly version that can sort of achieve similar results regarding weight shift? Thanks

@Gilesgillgolf 11 ай бұрын

This is body friendly but you can try stack and tilt. Due to the fact we are tilted forwards at address you’ll always need to work into side bend

Very helpful video. Are those drills good for every club?, or just driver?. I assume the drills are good for iron shots too?.

Wow!! This really works! I tried it on my simulator today and picked up and extra 20-30 yards of carry! Great job and explanation, do you have private lessons!?

Awesome thanks, only thing I noticing now is I’m hitting higher on the face, I moved ball position but still hitting high, I even teed it lower?

@@Gilesgillgolf- I’m assuming that the ball position would change for the iron chopstick drill, as you are trying to compress the ball rather than hit up with the driver ?

@pmportella Жыл бұрын

this is pretty sweet. i average 270 yards with 2-3 300 yard driver around with wind behind but i know i m doing it wrong, and my playing partners mock me because i hit one in the middle of the fair way but tell them i didnt get all of it. QUESTION should I try and give some of this to my irons?

Giles you have explained this brilliantly! Awesome job! Question though.... I'm 60 with a not so great back (and I'm 6'-3"). I do have an upper single digit handicap, so I feel my game is "decent". My question is... will this help someone of my age (not having a young buck back like yourself)? I'd love to be able to hit further with more consistency, thus shaving strokes and ultimately lower the fatigue in my back!
