3 WAYS TO SHALLOW YOUR CLUB (These are the Most Important!)

[@cwmartin8919]

I've watched a bunch of golf lessons online - this guy is the most direct and helpful teacher there is. He doesn't waste your time with chit chat - just incredible lessons. This is my favorite one.

[@le3423]

I couldn´t agree more. I feel like I have been wasting years watching videos that only ended up confusing me. This is amazing!

[@vuetube4558]

You got that damn right, bro! I found that others talk too much and not really showing me what I needed to see/know. I got bored and confused....so I don't even waste my time watching the rest of their gibberish.

[@DAGenao]

Totally agree.

[@bluefm7370]

Worth repeating,, forgive my rant.........this individual's instruction n my opinion one of the best or the best instruction on KZbin. At 64 and playing for over three decades have only achieved par twice out of literally, thousands of rounds. Have paid tens of thousands of dollars on instruction. Often feeling good one day then frustrated and feeling like my body is in a knot, only to be told, stick with it, knowing in my gut not a good position. This man has literally brought me a repeatable, grounded, easy, natural swing to my game. Incredible to me his instruction......grateful and a blessing, thank you sir for the true joy I finally discovered in the game.

[@jasontell7481]

I agree 100%. He is absolutely the best hands down. Unfollow everyone else

[@irongeek7933]

I just wanted to comment and say that I am 52 years old and started golfing for probably the 3rd time in my lifetime about a year ago. I struggled with the driver and always have. I did not understand the inside out swing and shallowing the club and no description ever from anyone addressed my misunderstanding. After watching this description, I was shocked. If I had someone explain this to me 35 years ago I would have loved golf. Instead I was mostly frustrated, especially with the driver, because I could overcome my poor swing with my irons, but never the driver. I went out to the driving range the evening after watching this, used this shallow swing and instantly hit everything straight more consistently. The best part of this was his description of the club head path. Thank you so much!

[@jeffreydiblasio9589]

I think I've watched nearly every club shallowing video on youtube. This was by far the best one

[@JM-ee5bp]

Completely agree. I’ve seen a million damn videos on how to shallow the club and this is THE one!!

[@vikas376]

Agree

[@waqarghulam3548]

I agree. The second method is what Moe Norman had in his swing

[@lcb4082]

Agreed very good instruction

[@ninetythreetwenty]

100%

[@jerryw89436]

I've watched many videos on shallowing. This one is by far the best I've seen...complete with easy drills!

[@johndrumheller2969]

This young man is a good communicator. Excellent golf teacher!

[@mr555harv]

What I like most is that Jon gets to the point directly without wasting time or words. I would like to take lessons from Jonathan.

[@glebasleonidas2618]

Agreed

[@AlT-if3hk]

I have watch many video about techniques and ways to shallow my golf club. This is the best one I've come across. You do a great job in your description of mechanics. The wall drill is awesome for me to understand and feel what I am suppose to do. You are the only one that I came across to have that on video. Thank you!

[@SN-xw4gh]

this guys guidance makes so much sense i'm questioning whether i've been calling forks by the wrong name my whole life.

[@pjpcadet]

What a master class young teacher ! Very logical, clear, open mind … Congratulations from a french fan!!

[@TheRoadLessChosen]

It’s like getting lift on a baseball. This guy is a great teacher.

[@JerryMckinsey]

Jon, absolutely the best advice I ever had as I get back on the course after 20 years. I've been watching every stinkin video and been hitting balls and have not played yet. I want to go out and play my best and this lesson of the shoulders to keep me inside, was the best. Thanks Man !!!!!

[@johntatum8088]

Hi Jonathan Kim, that is not a spoon, it is called a fork....:) Thanks for the great lessons!

[@richardquiroz8672]

This young man, Jonathan Kim explains EVERY good golf move so I CAN UNDERSTAND what’s necessary for proper contact. Love this guy!

[@dazalenko4250]

Greetings from Australia, you sir are a hero, you are the best teacher of golf on this planet, you look like you could play any sport well but you are also a born teacher IMO, the way you are so clear and efficient at developing your point, you know when to show a closer view or different angle and you don’t ramble on and on to make one simple point like some of the UK teachers on KZbin do. I appreciate your work on making these video lessons greatly so thank you and please keep them coming.

[@wjohnsonism]

Also, it’s nice seeing a young teacher who can articulate.

[@JKMGolf]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@pmaz-11]

Fantastic young teacher; perfectly explained. Looking forward in putting these techniques to work! Thank you!

[@yunchang9565]

What an instructor!!! No need to watch any other video on how to shallow our club. He explains everything you need to know in one video.

[@dannymcneal]

Can’t say enough about your lessons. They just make sense, because you take the time to show the difference between amateur- and pro-level movements. I see what I’m typically doing, and then see how to make the adjustments. Thank you!

[@Soominleee]

This was the most concise and to the point video I've seen on shallowing the club. Cant wait to give these exercises a try.

[@vpf5295]

i went out today to practice these movements and noticed the difference right away. The right side bend is still a challenge because I have a bit of trouble getting my weight to shift forward- need to use the wall to perfect this feeling. Your explanations are always super clear and practical. Love the "awareness" approach.

[@3spressoShot]

what helps me is focusing on weight shift and side bend at the same time. I also try to hold my hands up to shoulder height as long as possible. this does a couple things in my experience. it gives your body more time to transfer weight/ rotate. but it also creates much more lag/leverage and a more powerful swing. now I'm not a long hitter or anything but i went from swinging my seven iron around 80 mph to 88-91 mph. and my driver used to be right around 95 mph... I'm currently swinging my 3 wood about 101 and my driver is going around 105ish give or take. sometimes i get to around 108. the sidebend is still not 100 percent natural for me, i think as my body learns the movement and my mind doest have to focus on it so much I can get to 110mph swing speed. one last thing: Imo not actively trying to swing faster, actually my swing feels more relaxed but creating the lag just really sends the ball. MY over the top move "felt" faster. it was definitely more effort and less efficient. because I'm swinging smoother Ive also improved my consistency. I struggle with my driver because i have a hard time hitting up on the ball but even then, my average drive went from 230 to 265.

[@whrecordings]

You did it again Jonathan, specifically the alignment stick aspect exaggerating the angle needed to get in the correct position in the hand path portion. That instantly helped with my swing path.

[@txgcrypto]

This is the most helpful and direct video for shallowing.

[@ajl6835]

I’ve been watching endless tutorials for the last couple of years and this is easily the best on shallowing!

[@JKMGolf]

Yay! Thank you!

[@C22_]

This video is absolutely top tier.

[@Johnny03]

I no longer have a slicing problem because of your videos. Thank you very much JKM, I greatly appreciate you. The flexing of the wrist to create power and a square club face has completely changed my game

[@ongta1265]

Jonathan Kim-Moss, I'm a low single handicap player who still struggles with this. Your video is the best, bar none!

[@closedclosed3798]

My best KZbin Golf channel!!

[@thomasfraser9072]

There is a forth way! As a right handed player at 74 I finally discovered for myself that the absolutely best way to shallow the club is simply to quickly turn the knuckle of both hands clockwise immediately between the transitional downswing move known as P4/P5. Believe me it works regardless of most any golfer’s backswing. Steve Elkington coined this move ‘The Twirl’ but he never told anyone watching him on You Tube how to do it. So I thought I would tell people how simple and easy it really is. Cheers

[@superiorexercise]

Thanks for sharing.

[@peterbryant9687]

This is the first video I have seen from yourself. I've spent the best part of 30 years trying to rotate my hips. I've just been to the range and used your side tilt technique and found that my hips rotated naturally. Not loads, but definitely more than normal. I will now go over your previous videos. Your explanations are great and very easy to follow. I wish you all the success in the world. Thank you from a new fan.

[@3spressoShot]

this sideband thing is the key, and i have been trying to tell all my friends about it. I have been playing for only three years, but "discovered" the side bend on my own. I instantly gained about 10 mph on driver.. before i was trying to rotate my hips, and it would just create a more exaggerated over the top move. now my focus is more weight shift vs rotation.. so weight shift in combination with side bend and holding arms at shoulder height as long as possible. its crayzy because when i record my self my hips looked more active then i feel they are. feel is not real.

[@johnnyhicks2386]

Brilliant golf instruction. Many thanks.

[@DanKotrapu]

First time viewing your video - clearly the best instruction I’ve seen in a long time. Great explanations and logical drills I’m going to use.

[@darioaquino9399]

Thanks jkm for your patience and versatility clear instructional video on how to shallow the club in the swing.easiest and direct to the point to ececute.well articulated.i love your videos.from a 79 yr old fan.

[@wpk286]

I discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and am now addicted to it. This video is typical in that it presents the content in a simple and easily understood manner. This video addresses one of my biggest issues. Thank you.

[@stymie777]

This is the move! Not much else I can add to this incredible lesson! Have been working on this move and now that I see the side bend it all makes sense. I’ve got it! You are going to be rich some day giving lessons to big time players!!

[@johnmartinezjr6607]

I have watched multiple videos for shallowing the club from other people and I just couldn't get it right, until I watched this video. The trail side tilt was the missing piece that I needed and it's a step that I can practice easily, until I have it down perfectly. Thank you.

[@LeeJones1]

Possibly the best golf instruction video I've found yet. I was having trouble with all of these concepts but this explains everything perfectly. Thanks!

[@danielgreer9811]

Wall drill. Mind blower! It helps with keeping head still and also rotating hips while getting the tilt.

[@nrandynguyen]

Jonathan, I have been experimenting with so many things on youtube. Your explanations are AMAZING. The side bend is what I am lacking. When you demonstrated what it looks like to not have side bend, I immediately saw my swing. I recently have been taking a mental break from golf because of the frustrations from my swing. I am now so excited to get back out there. THANK YOU.

[@joeidaho5938]

Great info. I wanted to add that, keeping my wrists somewhat relaxed on the downswing....has added a lot of yards to my iron hits, as the looser wrists definitely help whip the club through impact....and the hits feel really solid. As a result, I definitely have to re-think the yardage for all my irons and wedges....lol.

[@atxrich]

My big miss with irons is an over-the-top pull which is quick feedback that I’m not getting the proper tilt in my downswing. Your drills are great!

[@IanKirkman]

wow, your videos have better insight and practical drills than 90% of golf instruction videos.

[@LEFTYIBANEZ]

That was an excellent instructional video. I am brand new to the game and I suffer from not being able to properly shallow out my club. I am looking forward to applying your tips and see how it goes the next time I take a lesson. Thanks so much.

[@roshanlalwani3432]

You're by far the most helpful YT golf tutor, for any skill level imo

[@semmes5342]

Jonathan you sir are by far one of the top 5 teachers online and under-rated. Your attention to the fine details are second to none. All of the details you teach are paramount to the golf swing. Well explained video

[@craiggildersleeve8024]

This is an excellent lesson on shallowing the club. I instantly saw two of my swing faults - back swing too much outside and limited side bend during the downswing. The flexed wrist at impact will be tougher to incorporate but it is doable (just fighting 40+ years of bad muscle memory.) Thanks, Jonathan!

[@kennyc818]

Very well explained,so glad i clicked this one, have been trying to get this move right for weeks . bitter detail than others i have seen, i will be more confident in the movement now. Thank you .

[@TimSuttonGolf]

Just great. Never heard this tilt to the right explained like this. I think you just solved golf for me. Cheers!

[@timmssitimmssi2125]

I hve to say this will help me VERY much!! I have watch other videos but other videos are like 12-15 min long and 7-8 min dosnt happening anything but ”remember leave a like or subcribe! ”

[@anthonyperrin3411]

Said it before. Best teacher on the net.

[@ravikum2000]

This is by far the best video on club shallowing!

[@izwansabri3663]

Man you're videos are awesome seriously. Better than most former pros

[@kvandekolk]

Thanks Jonathan!

[@TheBerkeleybob]

Interesting how this brilliant lesson very much aligns with classic Stack and Tilt theory I’ve embraced recently. Tilt, side-bend and weight forward are all key tenets and components of S&T. Do others agree? Thanks!

[@shanestiles5445]

Stack and Tilt is a big tenet of Golf Tec training.

[@TheBerkeleybob]

@@shanestiles5445 I have actually booked a series of lessons with a certified S&T instructor who teaches out of a local GolfTech store beginning end of this month! Can’t wait!

[@shanestiles5445]

@@TheBerkeleybob I am doing the same. My buddy referred me to a great Golf Tec instructor. Let’s both head to lower handicaps. I am currently a 28 hoping to get into the high teens soon.

[@TheBerkeleybob]

@@shanestiles5445 Good luck with that! I used to be scratch and when I last played regularly in the mid-late 90’s I was a 4. Then I took over 20 years off and then, well, you know …. Forgot more than I ever knew so it’s a WIP for me ! 🏌️‍♂️

[@fonzietv321]

That trail side tilt might be the best swing advice I've gotten. I've always been a bit handsy and now that I've focused more on rotating and shallowing my swing, I'm hitting my irons better than I ever have. Well done man

[@umgawa12]

Where have you been, Jonathan! The BEST istruction on finding and moving throught the plane. Enormous help and so clear and understandable..still takes work and prectice, but the sound of that well hit 5-iron...OMG!

[@klaymoon1]

Great video. I personally view the purpose of shallowing to send the kinetic vector toward the outside of the circle which the club head makes. At the initiation of the swing, many amateur golfers try to direct the head of club towards either the ball or the target. But, In order to make a circular motion (in order to create a good rotational force) the initial direction of the club is actually the opposite from the target. Most pros do this correctly without realizing what shallowing really does kinetically. Meaning they know shallowing works and it is needed, but many has a wrong idea or a partial idea why it works.

[@CDavis-vc8gl]

Thank you very much! I will try the plastic fork/spoon training tomorrow!

[@uratasan]

Very clear info, great demonstration and simple graphics 👍

[@jvitali60]

I just started watching your videos two days ago, wow where have you been! amazing explanations, simple and precise. Mahalo

[@thomasbao4477]

You're the only instructor who talks about shallowing by tilting! I had so many issues from trying to shallow by dropping my elbow and flattening my shaft! I kept pronating my lead forearm and I'd hit push shots! This is super helpful

[@thomasbao4477]

Wow, I ended up rewatching this after realizing my hand path had issues. You are beyond amazing

[@andrzejbarszcz1721]

Hi from Poland 🇵🇱. Thank you for making this video. Excellent way to explain the issue. My favourite way so far. My kinda of coach.

[@AaaBbb-rs9jz]

Excellent. Most shallowing videos cryptically show only one of these 3 aspects. You clearly understand thoroughly what you teach - and explain it very clearly. Subscribed and liked. thanks. Great videi.

[@artybone6946]

Holy crap Jonathan! I watched this video today and just focused on hand path and did the drill with the alignment stick because i didn't want too have to many swing thoughts and it worked so well!. Thank you so much. I had my best round of my life today and shot 86! Ill be trying the next couple things at the range for sure! You da man!

Best video I've ever watched hands down no lie

[@strykeryeh5601]

Totally agree with the wrist bow that flatten the downswing and squaring the club face at impact. Question is can I help with the bowing at start of swing (ie. takeaway) instead of at top of back swing.

[@p.scottrice8235]

Fantastic video for anyone that comes over the top

[@robertrodriguez4622]

J, Ty! Great details... can you do a video on the transition of the back swing, swallowing, and the follow through. What's the timing? Do you shallow before the downswing? When do you shallow the club? How do you find consistency? Thanks!!

[@hoyoonkim4517]

U are the best among those who teach shallowing. Are you in US? I NEVER understood why we have to do side bending. I was shocked to know it is for shallowin. Backswing too. Amazing lesson.

Thanks!

[@jimlafrance9546]

You're an excellent teacher; what's the best way to get left prior to downswing; is it the right hip/butt check rotating behind that "leads" a shift left - or is the shift left more upper body oriented?

Excellent explanation of this concept. Love the drills

[@stustu2587]

This is one of the first videos that has actually resulted in more shallowing and controlled draw shots

[@peterjens316]

The definitive video on shallowing the club. At first the drill movements felt awkward but with deliberate practice, starting with very slow movements, my swing and ball flight has become a game changer. JKM is a golf prodigy.

[@ratboy4347]

You don’t want slow movements. You want aggressive backswing and on lead foot as early as the takeaway.

[@ryan.wright]

I’ve probably watched every video on shallowing the club and not one explained it this clearly! A lightbulb moment 💡for me when you mentioned the side-bend.

[@geoffreyjarvis1791]
