Been chasing par for 50 years. First time I ever understood the mechanics of the swing. At 81 years old I practiced this instruction and actually missed shooting my age by one stroke! Before seeing this video I'm always scoring in the low 90s-high80s. I can now die with a smile on my face

The appeal that this video has for me is its simplicity. Lessons in the past have gotten my head totally confused when thereafter I set up to hit the ball. I've tried the advice you've given and it's returned my golf game to those rare times when I had no swing thoughts and had my best rounds. Thanks, Stu Comstock

I've heard tilt v turn often. This was by far the simplist and smartest description. Thanks!

Man you're awesome!!! The best explanation of the golf swing and the simplicity of it is just awesome!!! Thank you!!!

Best explanation of the golf swing being a tilt vs. turn. However, it is not as simple to do when you are actually addressing the golf ball and making the swing. "Keeping your arms straight out" and show the backswing move as a tilt is very simple to do as you well show. However, addressing the golf ball, and actually making a backswing to emulate same is difficult. I trust you understand what this "simple" student is trying to explain, but can you or do you have another drill(s) or method to make this tilt move over addressing the golf ball. Doing it as a "dry run" as you explain is easy to do. Not so when making a golf swing/shot.

Geeeze! It's that simple?!?! All these years and one video improved my game! Tilt is the word I say to myself before every swing!!

I'm working on this currently. It's one of those things I've known for years and keep revisiting. I do fine on the backswing but the forward swing is WAY more difficult. I always stand up into the ball and lose my spine angle. Tilting down into the ball at impact or getting right side bend is so challenging but I know it's something I need to do. Putting in the work is the part that I need to remain devoted to. Thanks for this video very much!

I just want to thank you for the content as I think I've finally understood this. About 14 years ago I was doing MORAD and Mac explained it as a turn then tilt. Then the S&T guys were telling me it was a tilt then a turn. I generally found Mac's explanation better to follow but I would find myself 'twisting' and 'spinning' the pelvis and the legs more than anything and it just didn't look right. A couple of years ago I had heard from another instructor that it's like you said...it's really a tilt and not a turn. I couldn't really wrap my head around what he was saying until this video came out. Particularly with the neck tilts and not having the head going forward toward the target in the backswing. That really helped me a bunch. Anyway, I think if we were to be measured on some device that there would be some turn, but not really much. To me it's really mostly 'pulling back' the hip using shear forces in the feet along with and upper spine tilt. Then there's probably a minute amount of actual turn and probably a small amount of lower spine tilt as well. Then it's basically the same thing thru on the downswing just in reverse. For (years( this completely mystified me until I saw your video a couple of days ago. Thanks again for the great content.

I’ve taken a vid lesson with Roger and I’m looking forward to the next one. He has a phenomenal “eye” and I was amazed and impressed by how much he could see and sense. I received a lot of help and I’m convinced I’m going to improve. Contact sounds and feels better and my wife even noticed, “The ball is kinda going where you’re aiming it”. WELL. Say no more!

I can't tell you how much this video has helped my game. Thank you

Woww excellent in every way. As a kid I use to naturally do this (heels included) as I had much more flexibility, balance and strength. I took a 10 year break from the game and completely forgot the heels as it is not natural to me anymore.. I've seen dozens of KZfaq videos over the past 2 years and none of this was even addressed. Thanks very much, it is truly appreciated 👍

For me, this is spot on. For years I turned. For years I played bad golf. I started tilting, especially through the ball with left shoulder high, right shoulder low, and I hit it straighter and longer with accuracy more often. Great lesson.

Wow that's a big perspective shift. Thanks!

Brilliant simplicity.

Thanks Roger! Well done! Makes sense!

Lock in and tilt! It's really that simple but everyone over complicates it!

This tilt, turn is confusing as explained. There is absolutely a tilt of the spine at the waist, with a slight relaxed feel at the knees. The backswing is not a turn but is a weight shift to the back foot which causes the hips to rotate back with the arms following. For those that find it difficult to get a fuller backswing, lift the front heel but not a forward leaning tilt of the shoulders. Simple. Julian Mellor has taught this for years and has changed my game in my senior years. Proper Golf U.K.🇨🇦👍👨‍🦳

Not much difference to the naked eye , but is probably the main reason for my flipping. Thanks for the tip.

Great tip. This is my main problem. I’ll give it a try next time at the range

Thanks a lot Roger. Can you at some point make a video on how you condition your body for the game or exercise? appreciate your channel, new sub💪🏿

Great video, it feels good to tilt instead of turn. It feels like I can swing the club on plane a lot more naturally with less club face rotation than if you are trying to swing turning horizontally then either coming over the top or adjusting your path trying to shallow or flatten you swing arc. So,... the question that came to my mind is approximately where are you tilting from? Are you mostly tilting from low right by your hips or more from your middle like your ribs? So I rewatched your video and I see your hips stay inside or even with your knees as you tilt. You don't slide your hips past your knees like the stack and tilt guys do. So I guess you don't tilt from the hips so much its more like a side crunch with your abs which keeps you more centered?? I think if I slide my hips horizontally past my knees or feet then tilt, then the club is swinging down later from a lower position and it never starts to swing forward, it only is swinging downward unless I do some crazy rapid turn up with my upper body. So if you do more of a centered side crunch tilt then your club starts to swing down earlier so by impact its swinging more forward earlier? Sorry for the rant, what are your thoughts? Maybe this can also help others. Again thanks for the informative videos.

this makes so much sense...ty!!

this and your other videos are vert interesting, challenging even as we have been told to 'turn, turn, turn' for decades and of course lately to do deep side bends leading to our right face being almost parallel to the ground !(for right handers,) any thoughts sir ?

Roger, w that tilt would you say ultimately at top that the shoulder plane should pt at the ball(target line) or slightly above? , thks mike

Like a "rock the shoulders" 200 yard putt.

So as long as I tilt the back hip should go up without trying to get the back hip up in back swing correct. Thx for simplifying can’t wait to try it.

Great tip sir! Thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great tip.. Can't wait to go out and work on this tip this might be the missing piece of my puzzle That is Called my golf swing

Thanks for making it so simple!

Thanks for the tip, I'll put it to practice. ⛳️ 🏌️‍♂️

Roger, I have practised the movements you teach at home and feel ready to take this to the golf coarse tommorrow . However I am not sure of one thing and that is ball position for the driver and some thoughts on how high to tee it up for driver too?

Straight forward info great

This was a well thought out instruction but simple to execute at the same time. Keep it going. Get an expert to work on the video/editing quality (there is no denying that is a factor now a days).

Great video. Thank you.

The image is helpful but I can’t help asking, isn’t it a tilt AND a turn? Do you think part of people’s problem is that the turn mindset is a holdover from the two plane swing, which is a bit more upright and therefore more of a turn?

Fantastic video!

Its a tilt then a turn. A compund puvot-Mike Austin

Good stuff.

Great tip! The "Gun Show" looks to be in town! Get some!

This is a combo golf and gun show video.

Hey whata know a coach/ teacher breakdowns down a golf swing in the simplest form, omg Thank god, because my brain, ego can complicate tieing my shoelaces, Thanks man, well done.

Right. Now put both hands on the club and show us how it is done. What is simple becomes very difficult

谢谢！

Looks like a rotating tilt to me.

Brilliant

This as clear as mud to me

Your first motion is a transverse plane, not horizontal. Your second movement is coronal, not vertical. Also, many of these forces are coupled motions. You're also not separating pushes from torques. You're attempting to make things simple, but you've disregarded spinal mechanics.

The edit gained my trust

How do you help someone correct without seeing a video?

Its a turn whilst tilted

Pretty sure this guy has a kniezi

Damn u buff for an older fellow

Nope, its both.

at this point, the bottom of the tail bone really needs to moved toward the target.... ignored by most....kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nM2BktOqmtCadHU.html
