Probably dropping trail shoulder down/under too much. It’s a common cause of low back issues. Bobby’s invert the shoulders drill is a good one.

Sorry Carolina

yep, the whole point of shifting your weight is pushing through your left foot to stop your upper body from moving towards the target with the club. mike malaska talks about this. good players make a very dramatic weight shift, but it’s a pressure shift, not a drift.

Dropping trail shoulder too far under.

Jack Duggan it looks like his left side moves laterally but if you watch his spine never leaves the line bobby draws.. so it can’t be moving laterally

Bobby's swing is all over KZbin. Believe me, one of the smoothest, most beautiful swings you will ever see. Also looks more "tour like" than 75% of the guys on tour!!!

"paralysis BY analysis". If you can see waste in this video, you are looking at it with jaundiced eyes and not enough critical thought.

+A A I like the term "observation" or even "tip" better than "secret". I did enjoy and learn what u are demonstrating from these observations; how to apply them to an old golfer is another story.

+1verybadass Almost 100% of all the great swings in history were two-plane. Even Hogan's was, when he got the club to parallel or beyond. Almost 100% of the swings clamed to be 1P by 1P advocates are not.

stephen f Hogan was a 2-planer?? CLEARLY, you don't understand 1-plane & 2-plane

+1verybadass Clearly _you_ don't. The foundation of 1P theory is the idea of a single plane angle that is perpendicular to the spine angle as the shoulder plane is (theoretically), so that rotational power is transferred to that plane directly, unimpeded, and with no need to hold back or adjust that rotational power. To do that, you have to have a left-arm plane (for a RH player) that is directly across the shoulder joints at the top (as viewed DTL), not from the left shoulder joint through anywhere above the right shoulder joint, even if it's just above that plane, covering the right shoulder above the joint. Hogan is, of course, closer than most. But on any swing where he got close to or past parallel with the club at the top (or his arms were at or near perpendicular to the ground as viewed face-on), it is undeniably observable that his left-arm plane is above that of his shoulder plane. Usually that occurred only with driver or 3-wood. With the irons, Hogan stayed well short of parallel especially after the accident and subsequent swing changes, so the left arm didn't have the "climb" to it that it did with the longer swings. I'm not interesting in arguing this with somebody who simply goes around declaring how much somebody else "doesn't understand 1P and 2P," when it's observable by anybody who wants to look at a Hogan sequence photo or a Hogan video here on YT.

stephen f Why would i want to waste my time explaining to a MORON here?? 1-plane vs 2-plane is MORE than just the left arm plane paralleling the shoulder plane at the top of the backswing. Everything (from setup to takeaway, backswing, downswing, follow thru and finish) is DIFFERENT, if not the OPPOSITE!!

Have a good meal man

+Jancen here's the truth about what happens when a person (right handed) starts their downswing by "tucking in the RIGHT elbow", you'll find when you do that 2 things happen according to the laws of physics: 1. You come OUTSIDE ACROSS(over the top), and 2. Your LEFT elbow COMES OUT at impact(chicken wing). So, how do you fix that? The answer is just the opposite, to start the downswing, instead of tucking in the right elbow, TUCK IN THE LEFT ELBOW, that guarantees 2 things: 1. You come Inside or down the line at the target(just the opposite of coming over the top) and here it is 2.By tucking in your LEFT elbow, when you hit impact BOTH OF YOUR ELBOWS ARE CLOSE TO YOUR BODY. The Left one STAYS IN(no chicken wing) and your right elbow IS ALSO tucked in. Hope this helps, take care :)

Yes, he holds the face square longer becoming more stable at impact.

a bucket of them each round.

watch a super slow motion of Speith and you'll see his head goes back (just like Lopez suggests)

+Alex excellent response!...I know that certain changes have helped my swing..but, going to far into all the many variables can be a real hinderance! I've been golfing for three and half years now..(I'm 57)..my score is hovering around 84 now..I've hit several eagles and five games under 80..(one a 77)..you are perfectly correct about practice..this game requires ALOT of practice...but, the practice is one of the most enjoyable aspects for me!

You got that right! I put in years of hours to get to where I was somewhat successful in flighted tournaments, much less the tour. The learning is never ending and the practice expands all through the segments of the game. I finally gave up the idea of the tour and just enjoy the game for the game itself.

Dedication and practice is important but it's no coincidence that many pros sons also become pros. They have insider information while us mortals have to deal with money hungry dirt bags who's only concern is to string you along and book you some more lessons. I wouldn't call it a secret but teachers just love to beat around the bush and make the simple act of hitting a golf ball seem damn near impossible. And finally when you've mastered every stupid ass drill they could come up with your left so confused that all you can do is stand over the ball frozen with swing thoughts because all they've really done is make you think about every minute detail of the golf swing instead of just telling you the simple facts of how it should feel.
