Keeping the left hip tilted down in transition causes the lead knee to rotate toward the target and to separate from the trail knee, which is an observation many golf instructors make when analysing the swing greats, like Hogan. I've tried to duplicate that separation but never had any success with it. Thinking about keeping the left hip down makes *much* more sense, is far easier to do and results in great pelvis rotation and unforced knee separation. Pure genius! Thanks from a new subscriber.

I've followed B and M, and learned from them. But Eric goes where no one else does, and I love it. I was a slider as a kid,, but my hands were pretty good.

Excellent explanation Eric. I’d be interested to know if golfers who wear glasses struggle with rotation more than those who don’t wear glasses. I find that I have to tilt my head down, ie chin down, more at address and can’t let my head move more naturally in the backswing in case I lose focus on the ball if the ball were to go outside of the rim of my glasses. Do you know what I mean? It’s a bit hard to explain.

You could but... 1. Because you grip the club with your right hand lower on the grip, that pre sets the tilts IF you were to add left side bend at address you would have to match a bunch of other variables... Make sure your right hip doesnt kick out to the right Keep your head from moving too much toward target with it (can be hard to rotate from) Change your right arm bend Increases odd of shoulders being aimed left Change the angle of the club lower etc, etc, etc which all have an effect. No rules in golf, you can do anything..give it a shot

One odd thing I have noticed doing this... I get the sequencing wrong unless I add a pause at the top. Once added I can do it.

I'm working on the second part (the one that'll be in the next video) where everything levels out and my right hip (I'm a lefty) comes up.

I really enjoy your videos. Not a big deal, but I do wish you and many others would simply use 'Lead & Trail' instead of 'Left and Right'. It's just a nuisance for us lefties to have to switch every thing mentally. Anyway, thank you for the instruction.

Hey, thanks Kevin. Ironically, when I use lead and trail side a lot of new beginner golfers who are righty will send me messages saying they wish I would just use left and right so it was easier. So I choose to annoy the lesser population : )

Why does everybody want the hips way open before impact. If you let shoulders, arms, wrist release in front of your body your shots will be straighter, instead of swiping clubhead to left on impact. Where is the target? In front of you or to your left? If your left hand grip is too strong, you must rotate to left to square clubface at impact. So complicated, 20 moves to swing a golf club straight. Alot of player's are starting to neutralize grips to avoid lower back problems.

Why does anyone in any sport (baseball throw, baseball swing, football throw, tennis forehand, etc.) have a lot of rotation?

Been an athlete all life. All star hockey player, baseball pitcher, competitive golfer mini tour player. I'm talking about finish position & rotating shoulders too fast. Jack Nicholas. Greg Norman, Johnny Miller & Moe Norman finished swing pointing towards target, especially Moe who hit the ball dead straight every time. A pitcher releases arm directly to target, not at 1st base. The finish is a result. Tennis forehand is side arm move. In the golf swing right arm & hand,wrist works best with submarine style baseball pitch with under hand release motion. You understand what I'm saying & your instruction is very good. 10 different instructors, 10 different opinions, & they are all right. No swing is the same period, just basic principals. The reason Revolution golf instructors are so good, they observe & inform there players who are top pro's, what they see and advise.

Ask David Leadbetter, Nick Price trained hitting shots with right arm , hand only. Try it. This will train your right arm motion in to your swing. This is one of Ben Hogan's teachings in his book , " The 5 modern fundamentals of the golf swing" Read it & you will understand what I am taking about.

thomas ross so you don't do what he's teaching here! I like this technical teaching in every detail here verses what you said of shoulders hands release and hitting ball with right hand what ever that is in technical way and we can critique it in technical way, some people like diferent ways of teaching I like technical then trying it practically then when I play I think one thought to know it will give me a miss on one side of course to exactly where I'm arming
