Giles, it seems as if every video you release extends the paramaters of what is possible in the golf swing. I believe your emphasis on visually matching lines is refined gold!! If you match that 45 degree angle you have the required hip turn. Simple as that. If you can match that line over and over again muscle memory and feel will slowly become automatic. Most importantly on the course!! This matchup drill pairs beautifully with the club across the chest drill in a previous video. AGAIN IT CONCERNS MATCHING LINES!! Pointing the butt end of the club at the ball. If you do these drills in a smooth, deliberate fashion the feels become reals!! Your previous videos on proper grip, takeaway and rotation through turning a plate and weight transfer through the step drill wrap the whole movement up in a red ribbon. Although I have no doubt youll unveil even better ways to build the swing in future videos. Which i will be glued to. The best instruction in the world of golf. Including any of the brightest stars in the profession.

[@koolkats724]

Great video, well explained.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@carlvanmilder2210]

hi i am in australia love to see you doafew swings with driver as your teachinh ideas are really simple and nice results keep upthe good teaching

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Will do! I get lost in what I say but will definitely add in some more demos

[@timothycarry]

I add one more alignment stick vertical behind me and I can do the follow through drill at the same time.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

That’ll work

[@steveperry1344]

nice lesson, i tried the thing with the stick in the belt loops and it worked very well. thnx for the help.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Hi Steve, glad you found the video useful!

[@paulpengyo2900]

Thank you for the video covering I think is the most misunderstood and yet the most important part of the swing.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

I agree rotation is crucial! Great to hear you enjoyed the video!

[@johnschwartz1536]

Excellent demonstration Giles on a five minute drill to achieve backswing rotation! It seems that in using alignment sticks for my demonstration, I can get the required hip turn. So, in thinking back on my actual swing, I feel that I am placing more emphasis on the right shoulder turning back to achieve the rotation rather than more emphasis on the right hip turning back to achieve it. I know that they basically work in conjunction with each other, but by my placing more emphasis on the shoulder, it may be leading to a restrictive hip turn and a loss of distance.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Focusing on the shoulder can be another great way of adding rotation

[@steveking2144]

Giles....your turn reminds me of Hogan... pics of Hogan shows the right leg straightening on the backswing and it actually looks like "stack and tilt". Your thoughts?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Not necessarily stack and tilt as I shift off the ball slightly but yes my knees are changing flex

[@geemac7267]

I like your style. And the part about not being very flexible caught my ear. There's only so much I can learn from one of these extremely flexible and athletic teachers if I'm not equally blessed. You might be a greater help if I can relate more closely.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Glad I can help and you can relate to my lack of flexibility!

[@carlvanmilder2210]

alsolove you to show usyou playing 3 holes what you have been teaching us we would love to see it many thanks carl

[@Gilesgillgolf]

I will be doing some of those in the summer when the courses are in better shape here in the uk 👍🏻

[@steveking2144]

Great golfers in history have swing starters.... Player kicked in the right knee, some players press the hands forward.... Do you think a person can use the right hip turning back as their swing starter?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Great question. Only thing I would say is it could promote too much of an early hip turn treating an inside takeaway and setting off a negative chain reaction

[@graphex16]

Great video and even better audio ( that was one windy day!) Now, how do we stop over-swinging on the backswing?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you! Check out my width video 👍🏻

[@1billiedale]

Good video with visual training aids. This is something that I need to work on. I am a senior with some limited ability to make a full rotation. Can you recommend any golf specific physical exercises to help develop better rotation in the swing. Thanks.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

I can recommend things to do in the swing but not too knowledgeable on stretching routines

[@rizon406]

[@AlanMcCarthyguitar]

Great lesson, my turn could be better but I was always conscious of my shortish back swing even though playing off 5 and plenty power , Teachers always tried to lengthen it but was just not possible, modern day players like Tony Finau , Rahm , Harold Varner are vindication for me and I now like my short compact swing

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Ultimately the best advice is swing your swing. So many different ways of getting the job done

[@shalinimartin1947]

How does the bend in he shaft work for high club speeds

[@Gilesgillgolf]

What’s that got to do with rotation?

[@JB-dj9cj]

On your backswing your right leg looks to straighten, could you comment on your weight shift at top of your swing. Thanks

[@Gilesgillgolf]

The right leg loses flex use and the weight shifts before the backswing finishes

[@JB-dj9cj]

@@Gilesgillgolf so at the top is the majority of the weight on the right leg, then shifting left before ball contact. Thank you

[@Gilesgillgolf]

@@JB-dj9cj no I have more weight on my left leg. It’s a massive misconception to have more weight on the trail leg at the top of the backswing. If you do you’ll struggle

[@JB-dj9cj]

@@Gilesgillgolf so many instructors have most of the weight on the right side at top of backswing. That is what I have been doing for years and always fail getting left on downswing. So do you keep majority of the weight on the left side for most full swings.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

@@JB-dj9cj the key is to know when to shift your weight back to the lead side. I have videos on this

[@VimMitt]

Can u talk about downswing how to start after hip turning towards the target?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

I have so many videos on that

[@chrisfaliao4675]

the right knee shouldn't lock out right?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

No it shouldn’t

[@powerpath659]

Do release

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Done release

[@douglasgyi]

Why did you not mention that right knee needed to be straighten out at back swing?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Hi Douglas, I did when I was talking about the change in knee flex and keeping the legs passive

[@chengwon]

My right leg was straightnened but I was told not to because i over-rotated. How do I ensure not to over-rotate?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

@@chengwon I find very few player over rotate but if you do a large reason is because the left knee collapses inward too much

[@BobSimmons-y6i]

Probably it would be easier to say turn your left leg to the right rather then your hips it looks like the same result

[@Gilesgillgolf]

You’ll be sacrificing a lot of speed if you do that
