EVERYTHING You Need To Know About Rotating In The Downswing!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Hi everyone, Which part of this video was most useful?

[@dookiehowser1162]

The part about really concentrating on the upper and lower body moves feeling separate of each other. The upper stays back, (behind the ball) as the lower moves ahead and to the left. I've seen it before but you illustrated how it really is a 2 direction swing in a sense. Nice work.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

@@dookiehowser1162 thank you! That is definitely a key part of the downswing

[@robjung2018]

Dude. All your videos are gold.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

@@robjung2018 thank you mate!

[@antoniom5440]

All. Everything was very well connected

This is one of best tutorials I’ve seen over my 40 years of playing and trying to help others. What I concluded helping noobs is none of them had any idea where their body, hands and club head needed to be at the instant the ball flies off the face to target. When I started statically posing them as you do at the start and drill three they intellectually understood the goal and how their bodies needed to move to from the top to get there. One of the critical missing links in a noob’s swing is usually a lack of side bend which putting them into the “pro” impact position introduces them to. Your “chopstick” drill is a brilliant way to practice and provide feedback because if the sticks don’t click you aren’t side bending enough.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Glad to hear you enjoyed the side bend aspect of the video & the chopsticks drill so amazing

[@michaelbearrows6298]

This is the best drill I've ever seen for help in rotating.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Amazing!

[@marksimmons7972]

So much information relayed articulately , absorbable, and efficiently in These videos have made Giles one of my favorites “go to’s” when I’m having trouble with my swing!

Great video content Giles thanks!🙏🙏🙏

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying it!

[@johnschwartz1536]

Excellent job as always Giles! As an experienced golfer, I am always concerned about my rotation or lack of! I think most of my challenges are I limit the amount of my backswing to about 2/3 and thus my rotation suffers. When I take my backswing out to 3/4, the rotation improves as well. I especially liked the recommended pre-set drill! Well Done Giles!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you John! Really important by the sounds of it for you to test to find your perfect impact

[@LKimuraC]

Thanks Giles. I've spent all my time trying to improve my downswing transition and rotation with little improvements made. Your demonstrations and drills are definitely one of the best out there. Highly recommended.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you!

[@hawklerfalco9067]

Hi I just found your videos today. Your explanation is clear and good. Will keep watching and studying. Hope I could improve my golf more. Thank you Gile!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Hope these videos help you improve your game

[@declanrigney8550]

This is the best video on the downswing/ rotation I have ever seen..

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you

[@lewiswilliams931]

Wow that test at the start of the video is something I’ve never seen but makes so much sense

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Got to test it if you truly want to know what your body can realistically achieve

[@johnazzuri1881]

Great video and explains it very clearly

Great content!

Thank you

[@AW-yg7we]

I love the both glutes back visual

[@Gilesgillgolf]

It’s a key thought!

[@donbudge6706]

Excellent video Coach. What is the key to any organization...I ask the student. It's a rhetorical question...the answer is, the key to any organization is its organization. The video is extremely well organized. The explanation is clear and to the point. The drills seem to be very applicable. An extremely important and not such an easy aspect to explain...the rotation in the backswing.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you! Glad it came across organised. It followed on nicely from a backswing rotation video I did earlier

[@donbudge6706]

Yep...I am going to check that out right now. I've got golf to play today. Thanks Coach! @@Gilesgillgolf

[@Gilesgillgolf]

@@donbudge6706 no problem! Good luck

[@antoniom5440]

Great video Giles! I have been following other famous youtubers for a while and the information you provide and the way you explain it is just top notch. I have been working on this things for a while and it has really improved my iron game however I am struggling with driver as I am not able to bring forward low point and therefore get a positive AoA. Any tip? Thanks

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you! Go watch my driver myth video from last week. You do not need to hit up on the ball with driver

[@steveothemagician3001]

I like the chopsticks drill- will try it out. I did adjust my grip moving the grip more to the base of the fingers- ball does not drift to the right now. Need to work on my hip rotation now to maximize the strike. Getting there- long journey.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

It’s always a journey but sounds like you’re making great progress

[@AdrianShaw-pd5en]

I think finding your own personal rotation position was key. I’ve had lessons where the coach would push and prod me into a contortion and it’s just not useful as I’m not ever going to get into that in the course of my swing. Also the info on the common cheats in a drill… bc I know I’m going to def fall into that if I try it! Your body is preprogrammed to cheat.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Exactly that! Got to make sure your swing is built for you

[@JimHunter-u8h]

Excellent video, especially the timing of the hip rotation vs upper body. My only question is it looks like you lock out your right leg, especially in slow motion rehearsal swings. Can that cause too much hip rotation? I don't see Adam Scott or other classic swings straightening their leg so much? Is it an exaggeration move?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

I don’t lock it out it’s just when I’m talking I’m focused more on what I’m saying than my right leg. Look at my actual swing and you’ll see it has flex

[@charlieluckhardt2385]

Thanks!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you!

[@y0Ambi]

I’ve just got back from the range after doing the preset drill and in every video I stand up / early extend. Is there anywhere I can DM you a video so you can have a quick look? I’ve been trying to fix this for awhile now but not really finding out the root cause

[@Gilesgillgolf]

On skillest you can send me videos

[@jakeallen476]

Wouldn't the transition just be easier if you stayed on your lead leg the entire time?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

That’s classed as stack and tilt. Unfortunately no matter what method you do there always has to be a form of shifting

[@carnes1269]

Great job covering a lot and not getting into the weeds.
