There are some good teachers on the internet. Russell heritage just might be the best. Can't thank you enough for producing and sharing these videos!

[@sblandford6346]

Another absolutely brilliant video. Your ability to simplify everything is greatly appreciated. We all learn something with every video. All golfers hear what we should be doing but don't know how to accomplish it. Thanks to you we have the explanation on how to do it. I will go outside and put this to good use in my hitting cage.

[@scotthoyt1564]

There is a lot of good instruction on you tube the last year or so, this guy may be the best he has a unique way of giving you enough detail and presenting it so you can clearly understand it. videos are just the length as well.

[@josephsaber6103]

I can't say enough as to your ability to explain the proper golf swing. Just wish I had seen this when I was a little younger. At 78 I can't do what I used to do. You do give me renewed hope. Thank you Russell.

Simple and superb. I suffer from over the top and really never understood how I could keep trail arm bent (lag) to release clubhead. Right shoulder down as a consequence of lead hip nails this for me.

[@cheryllands6266]

A million “thanks”!!! The best explanation I have seen or heard about this topic. Something I struggled with but did not understand cause and effect. Thanks again 👏👏👏!

[@mmmecho]

Simply fantastic! Explaining golf outcomes in terms of a dynamic chain is the most clear instruction I have seen. It is mind boggling that after years of playing and instruction that I did not know how to end up in a tour like ball striking position--the very thing lessons are supposed to convey. A million thanks are owed here.

[@rodrepka935]

This is really good. Reference my comments earlier on your most recent video. This ties it together nicely

[@markhuru]

Well demonstrated, I believe that no one really explains why lag and hands forward create club head speed. I surmise that what happens is the left hand in this position actually slows up,almost stops and lets the right hand force shaft and club head thru impact for max whipping effect,if exaggerated think of both hands going in opposite directions. If the butt end travels same speed and direction you lose angular momentum and you lose the bend of the golf shaft which you created with down and around motion.

Melding the lateral shift with hip rotation.... Brilliant!

[@charlieluckhardt2385]

Very helpful, a swing changer

[@DanWessonSpecialist]

Another great simple explanation. One of my two go to instructors.

[@matsnybondas]

Terrific piece of advice, thank you!

[@jackiecarroll3813]

Brilliant video, once again Russell your explanation is so detailed and very easy to understand. Thank you so much for your valued and respected golf instructions! Amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jeffers4354]

Thanks for explaining that russel, I had a lesson a few months ago and he was telling me to drop my right shoulder more, but didn't explain it as well as you just have. Thankyou :)

[@henryroberts9427]

Brilliant, Thanks

[@charlieluckhardt2385]

Thanks!

[@rajanrai732]

Excellent explanation and fix. Thank you.

[@kjb-12345]

This is gold

[@davemalek8242]

Great explanation. It also helps reduce early extension of the right hip moving towards the ball. I am working on getting more “send bend” and getting that right shoulder down as you just illustrated to support eliminating my early extension. Love your videos.

[@theintelligentinvestor79]

Superb

[@daviddjj]

Good explanation

[@leonwolf4256]

Great@

[@JayTakeProfits]

I need to focus on this video for the rest of this year

[@montequejanssen2052]

Hi Russell. Great video! Question: at 4:55 you said the bud end of the club should be ahead of the club head. My question: does that mean you want this at all bal positions? Or only when hitting negative (downwards) on the bal? So for example, if you would hit an iron 4 or 3 and you want to hit it at 0 degrees, do you still need that tilt and the bud end of the club ahead of the club head? And what with the driver; you hit the bal slightly positive (up) so still the case of what you are explaining here? Many thanks!

[@JayTakeProfits]

Wow just wow

[@pohoresky]

Dropping right shoulder is critical for shaft lean at impact is my takeaway. Dropping right shoulder requires critical amount of lateral movement first to the left as you rotate.

[@JayTakeProfits]

Is this for driver to?

[@golfolie64]

Good one ,but the more i drop my right shoulder the less i can turn because it s Killing my back ! I m 58 ..any suggestion for older golfers ? Thank you.

[@sloanharper9458]

Russell you have the rotation of the body causing the shoulder to move down. I find it easier to move the right shoulder down to the right hip intending that to open the hips and torso. Any thoughts?

[@JDSFLA]

To achieve this, I focus on making sure I start my forward swing with weight shift onto my left leg with pelvic rotation, and just let the shoulders/arms follow. This sequence helps me to avoid getting over-the-top. Key for me is to not get too fast, and to just let the sequence develop. It's the old "slow down to get fast" idea. I have a golf simulator at home, and if I rush from the top instead of letting the swing develop in proper sequence my swing speed will drop 10 mph.

[@deronburrus5924]

the best thing is to stay barefoot as much as you can and then wearing comfortable shoes now and then is just fine. this makes much more sense. geeze grow up people. who wants to buy uncomfortable shoes.

[@neilvaron]

I dont understand why when I try to drop my right shoulder I seem to hit it fatter

[@mkwy8782]

No. It is not about "dropping the shoulder". It is 100% about keeping that back elbow in-the shoulder is simply following the arc that is, naturally, created. If you do not keep that elbow in the chances of good contact are virtually nil.

[@I_need_an_oil_change]

Great video! I need to make sure my playing partners stay away from this channel…… lol 😂

[@patrickmurphy4912]

Too funny!

[@vreeke777]

The problem is with this hitting the ground first

[@derekbroughton6535]

Why do you use, sort of, is that what we want ir, is it do it
