The SECRET That PROS Don’t Want You To Know!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

This is also an amazing power move & provides an effortless release!

[@HenryD-ou4dk]

Ureka! I’ve never heard this before yet it makes so much sense .

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Give it a try and let me know how you get on!

[@earnestfarley]

Hello. Found your channel today. I have to hand this one to the algorithm Gods because this video on arm structure is EXACTLY what I have been searching for! For some reason, my lead arm was getting into complete external rotation to prevent the left miss. (I may have picked this up from a DeChambeau video) but is destroyed my iron play. I could not find a video at this level of detail anywhere else. Thanks and new subscriber!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Amazing! Hope this helps

[@harryhall3469]

Why is this not spoken about more & how do you not have a million plus subs!!!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

I wish I did!

[@williamback6154]

Another truly awesome drill. When put into practice it becomes only 1 swing thought throughout my play. I also grip the driver with the grip towards the ground before a round. Works the same with less equipment. I'm not trying to add to the lesson, just a little lazy I guess;). Really nice lesson.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you! Glad it helped!

[@JoeHanlin]

I love setting up with the arms tips you show us. The left pit at 45* and the right pit straight out Has really changed things for the better. Thank you sooooooo much for the simple setup

[@Gilesgillgolf]

It’s so important & simple

[@BrandonAlkero]

Which video is this?

[@marnew1000]

Super lesson Giles, thank you for sharing…

[@Gilesgillgolf]

My pleasure!

[@anthonyviola9400]

Very very helpful lesson! Thanks Do you have a vid lesson on cleaning the lead hip? I have difficulty getting out of way for arms to drop thru. Thanks again

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Yes lots & lots of videos on clearing the left hip

[@rjarias1540]

I noticed you lift your left toes as you approach the top of your swing. I'm sure it's deliberate. Does this help with your weight shift or does it serve some other purpose? Thanks!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Yes, it’s a mental tick that I’ve always had & it helps me sequence

[@rjarias1540]

Thanks!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

@@rjarias1540 no problem

[@terrypeeples1942]

I noticed that in your golf swing that the ball is not in the center of your stance, it looks like it is closer to the heel of your lead foot. Is that correct or where should the ball position be?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Ball position is a variable & will be releasing videos on it

[@luxefalcon2730]

I’ve never heard to decelerate at impact.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Now you have 😃

[@chucofilms915]

This one was very confusing 😅

[@Gilesgillgolf]

What’s confusing about it? Hands accelerate as you start down, they then put the breaks on which allows the club to release giving you clubhead speed The exact same principle when using a whip or casting a fishing line Simple

[@ad-d-89]

Had always struggled with chicken winging in release and had no clue how to fix it. Everything I watch says lets the hands drop and then rotate and accelerate through the ball. However, this just amplies and exagerates my chicken wing. Trying this felt complete different and almost effortless through the ball yet with a more consistent low point. Need to really try and drill this to get a feel but it honestly felt completely different. Why do so many teach you to just let the hands freely drop rather than power them down and then let off through the ball?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Because they don’t know what they’re talking about. Harsh but it’s the truth

[@BigDdreaming]

Why wouldn’t pros want me to know??? Are they scared of my 15 handicap???

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Unfortunately a lot of pros try and sucker you in to big lesson packages so they get more money. I personally only care about making my clients better

[@electricmotos]

Wow! I really think this guy is right. I do all the faults he talks about regularly, and know that I need to do exactly what he's talking about to hit great golf shots. I will definitely be trying this out soon.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Amazing! Give it a try and let me know how it goes

[@Chris_Traynor]

Hands-down the best explanation I've ever seen of the the significance of the trail elbow-pit. Perhaps the ONLY time I've ever heard a clear WHY this is imprtant.👍Feels like a follow-up contrasting this with the driver, and why this drill is recommended for irons and woods, would be so awesome!! I am sure the difference is subtle hitting slightly up but an explanation would nonetheless be eye opening. For example, a version of this drill done differently to hghlight the differences in feel???

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you so much! Biggest difference is you are more behind the ball with driver

[@RaulTavarozzi]

Wow Wow Wow !, this is the true Eureka moment for me, really, your explanation of some details about where and when accelerate and decelerate are pure GOLD !!!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@amerrasul720]

Does this work with the driver as well?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Yes it does

[@robertbeato2795]

Past few days at the range I’ve been focusing on a more Hogan style swing. Especially with my right elbow, grip and arms close together. I’ve really started to notice the lag at the top of the swing. And now every time I feel that at the top I know it’s gonna be a great shot. Good video!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Amazing!

[@jonpotts6693]

Another great lesson, thanks.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you Jon!

[@austinhamby8699]

Great video! Very helpful. I struggle with part of my swing

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Hope this helps!

[@davidc9117]

Thanks!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

No problem!

[@danielconnolly8565]

Putting. That’s the key.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Of course

[@paulthomas1941]

Great video, I’ve seen a few people explaining similar theory and have tried it myself but find it really inconsistent. What could be happening to cause a straight push when trying this? (Impossible without video of course but general idea?)

[@Gilesgillgolf]

That would be your face and path both going to the right

[@MPerski]

That’s it! ☝🏻 I have always struggled with trying to hold the finish; wondered how tour pros finish their swing in that beautiful posted up position with so much clubhead speed. In an attempt to generate enough club speed, I guess I, too, accelerate through impact (scooping, etc). Never realized I needed to SLOW the arms down to fully extend through impact. Thank you 🙏🏻 I am so going to focus on that tomorrow on the course ⛳️🏌️‍♂️ 🤞🏻 Wish me luck 🍀

[@Gilesgillgolf]

It’s not a well known concept buts it key!!

[@philipp8185]

Hi! And again some great content! :) This works very good with my irons, thank you for that! But as i´ve tried this drill with my driver it didn´t work very well. Is there somithing different to consider with the driver?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Yes, you’ve gotta stay behind the ball more when you’re doing this with the driver

[@rc4728]

Five stars! These are the elements I wish golf instructors taught 30+ years ago when I started (vs. forearm rotation to square the clubface, which the body interprets as over-the-top).

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you so much!

[@marcusgeorge1825]

A great, simple explanation with part one and part two. Thanks Giles. As this is just another video tip I can pass on to others when I get asked how I can hit my iron targets with minimal effort. As I believe too many people are trying to change multiple things at once and when it doesn’t work they have no idea which one didn’t work based upon overwhelming changes. Love it.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Exactly that! It’s a great one stop video

[@lolobuggah2670]

This is the drill I always use at the range to get me swinging well. I also had some of my best shots during a round with this thought.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

It’s amazing!

[@AZIMZAZDEH]

What about the driver? Does the same thing happen?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Yes we are just more behind the ball

[@northotagogolf]

This is a drill that really delivers results!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

It really does

[@HarrisonGowers]

Gold Gold Gold Gold Gold! Pure Gold!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you Harrison!!

[@marcusgeorge1825]

Hi Giles, do you have a video on the influence of shaft stiffness? As I’ve come across several golfers recently who have gone with stiff shafts when their swing speed is around 80 mph. I understand this speed is better suited to a regular flex, just can’t articulate or show why. The flex with the stop in this drill does help. Cheers!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Shaft stiffness isn’t just about swing speed. It’s about launch & how you release it. Can help eliminate a big miss too

[@marcusgeorge1825]

@@Gilesgillgolf Cheers. Would love to see a video to help explain the how part. 😁

[@Gilesgillgolf]

@@marcusgeorge1825 that’s more custom fit so won’t be doing video on that. Got to stick to my land

[@franciscocolon867]

Excellent lesson!

Glad you liked it!
