Don't Turn Your Shoulders In The Golf Swing

[@Ronminami]

Danny, I'm 78 years old and this past Wednesday I shot my lowest round ever an 80 thanks to your fine instruction. I was swinging the club horizontally and not turning my front shoulder down toward the ball. As soon as I started doing this it helped bring the club up in the proper position so I could hit down on the ball. Thanks so much!!!

[@johnmikitson4318]

hi Ron, I am 72 and very encouraged by your post, way to go, this is a great teach.

[@gooi_gooi]

congrats! It encourages me... a high handicapped player 😀

[@devonshire56]

Agree...This is one of the more important ones for us older golfers. I have been working on Danny's swing drills for some time because I'm almost 71 years of age and his overall method is well geared for the older golfer with certain minor disabilities. Everything Danny talks about WORKS on the golf course where it matters. I'm hitting cleaner and easier with a lot more control than in my stronger years. It's also fun to go to the range and have people watching what I do, that is a direct complement to Danny...thanks.

Danny - I know this video is 10 months ago, but it is so perfect! I keep it pinned and go back to it when I feel myself struggling a bit. It gets me focused on the right things. No focus on arms and shoulders but the PIVOT! Thank you so much for your continued work. I love your approach and the way you make it easy to drop the over analysis of things in my head.

[@wbmjr46]

Your videos have really helped me with getting my swing back on track. Being 64 and former powerlifter (can you say limited rotation) it's nice to use the lessons and stop just using my shoulders and arms to swing the club with. You make everything easy for the average golfer. To bad you don't live in the States. Thank you sir for your time and awesome videos.

[@DanielMaude]

Really happy to help William

[@bagster8660]

Danny, you are an amazing coach! I am getting back into golf at 61 after not playing for 15 years. I was a 6-8 handicap when I stopped playing due to injury. After coming back, the distance I have been hitting the ball is demoralising and I couldn't figure out why. This video has put the pieces into place. Thank you! Just allowing my left heel to lift naturally has allowed me much better rotation. You don't see a heel lift these days due to golfers working hard flexibility from a young age. But the stars of yesteryear, Nicklaus, Snead etc all used to allow the left heel to lift.

[@DanielMaude]

Absolutely Brett 🤜🏻🤛🏼

[@psrpete]

Absolutely another great video. I like the simplification of the movements, on the backswing and the downswing. Looking for more consistency with both and I think it will help me with my ball striking.

Great video. Only started playing the game last October and am in late 50's. Locked into this type of swing last week and have honed it thanks to this video. Just been in the net and hit 30 ish balls sweet as a nut. Was topping fairly consistently before but now feel really confident. This works !!

[@fwood1231]

Great lesson. Addressing exactly where I’m at right now. I was doing better but have been topping and losing distance lately. Getting way too much hands and arms into my downswing. My coach suggested exactly what you’re talking about with the wall feeling. Thanks so much.

[@donnawilson9011]

Awesome video, thank you Danny. For years I worked on my "turn" not really knowing what that meant. A friend helped me and I finally got it. Tomorrow I will be working with the back right pocket, and I bet I will get it even more. Thanks for all your help! I've had two of my best rounds in my last 2 games.

[@philtemple2466]

Danny, I am 58 and have always struggled with a consistent swing or even a simple swing thought! I wanted you to know that after 5 recent horrible outings in which I was ready to quit the game, I came to my golf league match last night after watching your video above and had a 44/43 outing in which our team is now known as the Butt Cheeks! Your simple drill helped me immensely in getting my power "feel" back and helped me feel like I love the game again! Appreciate it!

[@DanielMaude]

That’s wonderful Phil, well Done

[@peterlovett8451]

Great Danny! I tried turning my shoulders back and my hips around for many frustrating years. Now I understand how to use my legs and ground force for concistancy.

[@warrenbutson349]

This was the tip that made so much sense, to feel like you are moving right leg back not turning and to almost punch forward than attempt to turn. I get it’s a mind feeling but makes so much sense when doing it. The power feels so much stronger and stroke makes you not try to hit it but the ball just happens to be in the way of the stroke. Really love you focused on how we feel a shot rather that the true mechanics which are harder to visually absorb. Brilliant!

[@wordofmo]

Danny, do you do video lessons? Out of all the lessons I’ve watched of yours, this is the one and it’s on the most.

[@kevinmurphy8644]

Just excellent - simplicity instruction - thanks sooo much 👍

[@DanielMaude]

Pleasure Kevin!

[@richardweston1792]

Absolutely brilliant Danny. Every step you describe seemingly explains the source of my arm swing problems Over 50 years of golf I have tried to improve my turn in the backswing and not understood the importance of sequencing my lower and upper body turns, so that my club does not get behind me and my body is not in the way in the downswing.Have got a little better that way but can see straight away that your method of rotation will be far better. Am 78 years old now but am off on a golf school next week and will work on your recommended moves every day hoping for a big improvement. Whatever thank you for your new to me ideas which you explain very clearly. Prof Richard Weston, Rothley Park GC Leicestershire

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you Richard that’s great to hear👍 really appreciate you taking the time to give such positive feedback 😀

[@rjf1877]

Excellent, excellent video ! This rotation movement works extremely well. It adds yardage AND is easier on your back than an unbalanced "arm" swing. I'm 76 with three lower back surgeries and two knee replacements and I'm hitting the ball better, and feeling much better, than I have in many, many years. Give it a serious try, you won't regret it !!

[@DanielMaude]

That’s great to hear thanks for sharing

[@Paul-4177]

The two keys for me were the right back pocket pulled back then continued rotation to the target. Many instructors simply tell you to move the pocket back. Continuing the turn toward the target results in improved balance and the incremental stored power is incredible. Also the "stop" on the downswing is brilliant and so well explained. Transfers more power to the back of the ball instead of losing it in a side swiping motion.

[@mattcristino9804]

Hi Danny, Thanks for this weeks lesson. I have been doing some work on my hip rotation and trying to eliminate wrist flicks. Have a good weekend! Cheers

[@davidparsons4573]

Great video, Danny. I noticed from watching old video clips that the left heel leaving the ground on the backswing seems to be a common feature of golfers from the 50s and 60s, but is a lot less common now

[@DanielMaude]

It’s less common now because PGA tour players are in the gym every day working on strength and flexibility. Something the club player rarely gets the opportunity to do

[@scottferguson6652]

Hi Danny, I started watching your videos about two years ago then broke my right elbow in a cycling accident just before my 2020 golf season started. I'm just now getting back to the course after multiple surgeries and loads of physical therapy. I've played a couple of times (without pain!) but have noticed I've lost some function in my right elbow (elbow rotation and extension). I seem to have a tendency now to pull shots to the left...(I blame that on the lack of extension of my right arm on follow through). I'm not sure if that's true or not, but I'm working on it with the help of your videos. I'm excited to get back to the course this year and practice some of your drills to improve my swing. Thanks so much for creating the videos and keeping it simple. Scott Ferguson Illinois, USA

Dear Danny, you speak of a sensation. And it is a sensation. For years I have been trying to find the missing piece of the puzzle in my golf game. I have studied over 100 golf videos from great golf instructors. From weight transfer, to the importance of the right and left arm, to hip rotation and the use of the wrists, I have tried to implement all the tips that have been offered. With reasonable success. Your tip to turn the right buttock towards the target during the backswing was indeed the key. It's as simple as it is ingenious. For the first time in my golfing life, I was able to really turn it up with the corresponding impact.Today I went to the golf course to implement your tip and I played 3 pars on the first 5 holes. My gratitude is hard to describe. The Lord bless you.

[@DanielMaude]

Wow happy to help thanks for taking the time to comment Das 😄👍

[@timreynolds7304]

Danny, I've been watching your lessons off and on for a few years and really like your mostly non-technical approach to the golf swing. The other day on the range I combined some of your thoughts with one that I heard from my first few years playing golf about 50yrs ago, which was not to break the glass wall behind you on your backswing. (The same idea that you gave in one your lessons when warned about keeping your upper arms too attached to your chest through the entire swing.) So the thought I came up with was "turn your ass, wait...and don't break the glass". The combination of the right rear pocket back, a little pause and a more upright plane made for straight shots and a full release of the club which I'd been struggling with. Thanks, Danny

[@diralam]

You are absolutely right. I was watching a video of myself last night and noticed the left hip isn't turning out of the way on the downswing. When I practice punch shots the body does the correct motion. I need to get out to a range soon and just hit punches with all my irons before I start the full swing for the new season. Thanks for the reminder.

[@briang5586]

Thanks Danny. These Saturday morning sessions are great. This is exactly where I am at the moment, so spot on thanks. Doing less playing and more work on my swing at the moment for the better weather. Took lesson from club on Thursday to build on your sessions. Pro very positive about most of my swing. Then did exactly same sort of thing as you did today. Pro said I was using arms too much so worked on the back swing like you did today. And the results were tremendous. And the distances were so much better. Building on the accuracy which was getting there from your work. Many thanks.

[@DanielMaude]

Thats awesome Brian, thanks for sharing

[@johnschwartz1536]

A very interesting video Danny! I like the idea of taking the rear right rear pocket back on the backswing, taking the shoulders out of the equation. The downswing should then be made similar to a "punch shot" which I like hitting. I'm game in trying this because I do have a rotational problem which limits my distances.

Danny, I can finally report back after watching and working on this lesson. After watch Michael Bennet smoke iron shots by just throwing his club into the ball, in conjunction with this outstanding lesson, the combination sent me and these feels to the practice tee. My feel keys that have significantly helped my ball striking over this season have been: 1) grips pressure feel is 80% of take away with left hand and 3 fingers, 2) feel as if my back gets 1 inch closer to the target and the top and 3) feel my release with hands going left. All finally came together over the past month, now moving my 59 year old ass back from the 3 tees (6,300 yds) to the 2 tees (6850 yds) and playing the same game! Thanks Danny!

Another excellent explanation of how the hips move. Short story. The other day I am out playing and am paired with a young man. Quite obvious he has a nice swing and very good speed On the 2nd hole he apologizes a bit as his short game is not a match for his full swing. He had only been playing 2 years. I was amazed and said so and told him he must be a very good athlete. He said he played baseball in college. I play to a single digit. He later asked some questions about the swing and I explained it was more like pitching rather than batting. He said great. I was a pitcher. I told him that was the end of the lesson. He knew more than me. I did say that most baseball players who were excellent golfers like John Smoltz were pitchers and most (American) football players who were good golfers were quarterbacks like Tony Romo. Your examples of throwing to hitting a golf ball are dead on.
