This is a gold mine of a source. incredible he is doing all this talk with one take, no camera cuts.

Thx J can't wait to integrate your swing thoughts

Thankyou , I didnt realise how much more vertical my swing was getting and making it more difficult to rotate as much (now 76 years old) as I used to .This resulted foe me with too many pulled shots.I thought it was just old age ,but some of my golf mates had no problem.I can tell even swinging in doors how much easier it is and can't wait to try it out.

Great 3 tips. it helped me massively ! thanks Johnathan.

Excellent descriptions! Thanks.

Excellent, precise instruction. Thanks!

Fantastic, a great explanation, thank you best I've seen :)

Great video on cause and effect.

So turn and keep turning. Great advise!

Terrific insights!

Great lesson brother thanks for your time and expertise!🙏🏻

Great explanation! Welcome back to The Range!!!

Some great points, thanks

This vidéo is great. I love the fact that you don't just say don't do that but you explain the consequences. I think I ve got the vertical shaft issue ending with a huge slice when I hit it hard. I knew I was not trurning enough but did not put the finger on the reason !!! I thought it was because of some shoulders tilt, but the shoulder tilt it self might be because of the vertical shaft !!! I will definitely check. THANKS 👍👍👍

Great Advice

Another great video Jonothan! I can rotate so well in a practice swing and then lose depth in the actual swing (I have the practice swing of a tour pro haha! as many of my low hcp friends have said). This is a great reminder to get the 'feels' correct in the takeaway. Rotation, rotation, rotation = easier golf. Keep up the good work

Great video

Outstanding instruction!

You caught me with the STEEP shaft issue. Great analysis. Will work with these swing thoughts. Thanks, RK from Chicago

Yes I have 2 of the 3 shaft to straight up and elbow .... Thanks I will attempt to remedy them

I've always been guilty of the steep downswing. I just didn't realize it until now. Having said that is so hard to do this move of dropping the club behind me. I noticed it helped me rotate and my ball strike was more forward shaft lean but I'm pushing the ball. I made need a stronger right hand grip

I think the biggest 'rotation blocker' is pulling/driving with the arms. Once u pull with the arms, (linear force) you end up totally closed off. From there, u have no choice but to goat hump, stand up and throw angles. Once you understand how the club tumbles out towards the ball, the swing feels almost horizontal and rotation just happens. Rotation is a result, not an effort.

Good channel! A couple of suggested topics: left arm breaking down on backswing, chipping yips. Thanks!

Great explanation, thank you!! I may be wrong but I think there may be a 4th issue, which is trying to straighten the trailing, or dominant arm in the down swing, I've hand that problem for years. I've recently found keeping the trailing arm tucked in helps flatten the down swing and allows me to make a powerful turn into the ball with a neutral club face. Working well for now anyway!!

What direction should club face been pointing at the top of the back swing to be consider closer/strong compared to weak or open. Good visual to understand what top of backswing should look like

Great instruction

Do you have a video on getting into a position at the top of the swing that sets you up with good width and square clubface? The more I learn about the golfswing the more I see that getting things right earlier in the swing gives you the best chance of a solid shot......

I'm not going to change my vertical shaft until I find out what the earth's core looks like

I finally got a hold of all these things, but I still get myself in the situation of pulling the club with my leading arm just after impact. which leads to a half chicken wing. Any thoughts on how I can stop this from happening?

Besser kann man es nicht erklären, hatte alle 3 Probleme in der beschriebenen Reihenfolge, jetzt wird es besser

I should learn this before I have my next lesson.

Well...you just described my issues. The problem for me is which one or oneS do I deploy? I need to video my swing.

can you suggest some drills we can work on at home

I fight not to move towards the ball in the downswing. I've been told I need to fix it but it must have some useful purpose because if I want to hit serviceable golf shots, it's what I do. I like how you're going deeper into what is causing the lack of rotation. Have you been able to diagnose this using online lessons ie via video? If so, I'd like your help. Thanks.

Cracking video. Assuming I get some depth and my clubface is square (I actually try to get it slightly closed at the top), is it a good idea to try to get some external rotation of the trail shoulder on the way down or do things just happen naturally? I know that everything is relative to my normal action but I don’t think I steepen it on the way down but still my bad shot is a push fade

Wow...great video. At the top of my backswing, my left arm is not higher or lower than the right shoulder suggesting it is not upright backswing. I know I swing more up and down and maybe not so much deep. Still at impact : my hips did not rotate even I try and slight bent arms and a little early extension. Yes, my downswing is slight steep as well. What does it tell you that I need flatter backswing? If so, what do I need to do to get flatter swing? Thank you so much if you could give your thoughts.

Great info. Would have loved to see all three moves to avoid while actually hitting the ball. But did only see that you only had one ball left. LOL

What about too wide of a stance at setup? Doesn't that make it hard to rotate?

How do you keep face square if you are rotating

At the top, where does the rotation start from and how do i then stop coming over the top as i open up my body, i am finding I’m coming over the top, but closing the face, and i think my shoulders end up flat as i rotate through,,,,,,,,so low hooks are common in my round? Any advice welcome!

Do you have a video lead arm bent on back swing loosing distance and ball going left ps I am 77years old

Can lack of rotation not cause hooks as well ?

Great vid thanks... odd question... what trousers were you wearing in the video? thanks !

Very interesting, I think I hold club face open,

Very helpful👍

Sorry, Im a visual learner, so are most golfers! Se you talk is ok, but do it yourself at same time what you want to learn us is what I would apreciate very much. Still talk is someting, Thanks. Johnny

Hey man this was excellent! I had a real eureka moment with this "rotation" - you explained it so well. I ran out into the garden to try some swings at a training ball and I immediately understood how and where power comes from in the swing. I have always used my arms a lot in my swing and not much rotation. I could hit the ball a good distance, and fairly straight, but I was not consistent. I had a lesson with a pro many years ago and he said; "I used my hands well" - I wonder now if he was calling me a wanker" Hmmm I'm going to recommend your channel to all my golfing buddies.

I got that you need to rotate when club face is square but your video didn’t explain why we failed to do it or maybe I missed something

Whenever I try and rotate I end up shanking it. Any advice?

do you do swing analysis and online coaching?

DJ has a closed club face but still hits a fade.

I think a good drill for people is to take a very strong grip, swing the club as flat as you can around your body, and then make the ball start right, or try to hit a cut(this will depend on ball position). You will have to rotate to keep from hitting it a mile low, left. Don't make this your normal swing. But, you have to go to extremes sometimes to get a certain "feel". Great video, bro!!!

Doesn’t look like you’re breaking the wrist while swinging?

Raise the mic volume brotha

It would be helpful to see you face on too! Additionally, worth mentioning the reason you want rotation is to get your body out of the way i.e. you don’t want to be at the point of impact with your body in the same position as it was at address etc etc

There is not a pro on tour that holds the right wrist angle through the hit as you are showing. They ALL fire the right hand through the hit. Why are you teaching this?

Too many ads

If you guys get this you don't need lessons

Too much talk about what we don’t want......just show us what we do want.

Lol 'shallowing' the club with ur hands is a waste of time. Just get to ur left leg before or during the downswing

Why rotate - your body is not designed for it - your body is designed for up and down motions and your limited ability to rotate can support that - so name all the muscle groups designed to give your body rotational speed and power - and your spine hates rotation as a source of speed and power - so why rotate

Yes all very valid stuff but for the love of God can you not hit a few example shots ???? Every club Pro I have ever met stands there waving the club around in staccato bites and never hitting a ball. Hit a few real time examples why don't ya? There are a few online that actually do and it makes a big difference. MrShortgame Golf being one. (only trying to help make you more watchable).

too much talking, just show every stroke (correct stroke or wrong stroke). No good
