How to get better at golf using the compound pivot

[@OfCourseICan]

I took your concept to the course yesterday Roger and felt a little lost because my swing became so simple and less complicated. My god so many so called Golf Pro's have ruined so many of us with their erroneous advice. It's amazing how they have made this great game so complicated and difficult. Grateful Aussie.

Love that your getting better!

[@mikemccarthy1398]

Thanks for all your uploads Roger.

[@rkswingking]

My pleasure!

[@dogloverjb6873]

YES....Manuel de la Torre...the methodology my instructor teaches...so your teaching works great with his teaching.

[@rkswingking]

Wonderful!

[@chrispuente9367]

I'm really loving your videos! Keep them coming!

[@rkswingking]

Glad you like them!

So this is the basic hip motion then roger think in the mindset of the walking motion then add club and get a feel of the movement might work on that bit outside comp days

[@rkswingking]

Yes !

[@robfrancis-h8s]

Roger - all good with the pelvis movement and your videos in general - a lot of teachers refer to pelvis 'swing' or 'turn' movements, but your sensation of 'up and up' makes a lot of sense - could you just briefly comment on how that pelvis movement best works or modifies in the difference between say a downward iron swing as opposed to a sweep upwards with a metal wood an a tee ?

[@rkswingking]

Thank you It's the same pivot motion The difference will be width of stance. If you swing arms high on the finish more weight will be on right toe .. like driver . And if arm goes low then weight will be more on left leg

Good stuff brother!! I’m getting better! Just need to get with you on my driver.

[@rkswingking]

Sounds good

[@johnharrington6122]

Roger , John , the retired PGA Teaching Professional , this reminds me of Colin Montgomery’s swing , my question for you is : does focusing on keeping the head still , accomplish the “ sexy woman/ girl walk and the proper clubhead takeaway with the hands , in your view ?

[@rkswingking]

If the grip is correct how the hands hang naturally and you keep head on center and you swing both hands over the shoulder and your body and head and eyes respond then Yes the compound pivot will happen

[@redsthename]

A little confused from the video, is a stack and tilts 2 foot balance good/a compound pivot because you can keep your head centered or do both ankles have to roll?

[@rkswingking]

Watch new video 🙏 thanks

[@TheTwinSwing67]

Nice video Roger. Maybe even better if you show the ankles and feet. Regards Staale, Norway

[@rkswingking]

Ok can do ... I have in other videos .. Will try to add that angle 😉

[@bayougolf7524]

I’m glad you didn’t say look in a full length mirror and do the sexy lady golf swing… I believe I would quit golf after seeing my reflection Do you promote deviation or ulnar deviation in your hands while holding the golf club and please explain your answer Appreciate your effort putting up the vids

[@rkswingking]

That's a great question Neither really I want your hand to hang like it is while your standing . Then the weight of the club along with the pivot action will move the club back and the forearms will rotate.. at impact the wrist is bowed and raised by centrifugal force and the shaft then goes backwards as the left thumb / forearm rotates.. I would tell you try not to think about that and all this happens if arm is relaxed and grip is correct

4am! Love the content but get some sleep Roger! 😅

[@rkswingking]

Your welcome 😁 🙏 Sacrifice for the greater good

[@ScottP2024]

Good stuff Roger!!

[@rkswingking]

Thank you

[@aaronveikley1454]

There is no way you have a tee time that early.😂

[@rkswingking]

No sir.. I have to prepare for the day. That day we had a shotgun tournament . Had to set up the range , pull carts and make the video .. 😆

[@abuhamza1970]

Dude, please invest in a mic if your serious about making good quality videos

[@rkswingking]

Oh I have one . I just thought inside it was good enough ..will wear ... thanks

[@solskivenrt7516]

Very good vid Roger. For me its much also what Rob Johannesen 'the rmb-guy' is teaching : counterbalance? Tobben 🇳🇴

[@rkswingking]

Thanks similar in some ways .. but I use my left thumb on side of the shaft not off and not huge grips

[@solskivenrt7516]

Yes, i do the same! I also fund it easy and efficient to pre-sit i to my trial hip, make an easy, controlled backswing and the step i to my lead hip and through all forward.. 👍
