HOW TO ROTATE THROUGH IMPACT LIKE A PRO

[@JC-eq7jx]

Hi Natalie, it may be unfair for me to single out this video from all the other excellent material you provide but I found this to be incredibly good. I am not a great one for ‘drills’ but this was extremely quick and effective at getting my body turning through impact and the quality of strike and increased ball compression are clearly visible. Thank you. J

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

great stuff. yes it’s a fantastic drill, very simple but very effective ⛳️

[@bobsmoot8454]

She’s an excellent coach, explains what she is trying convey with great clarity

[@stewdogg42]

Great video. I especially appreciate the slow mo demonstrations of your swing.

[@user-rh1nh2bu4o]

This video plus one showing need to move left hit back early on downswing will be great help for me. I tend to be a hands and arm player and find it especially difficult to do a weight shift from an uphill fairway shot… Thanks again for great tuition.

[@gustavomorales2892]

Love Natalie´s videos. Always very ilustrative and focused on "feeling". Two thumbs up!

[@karunagaransinnasamy9954]

Thanks Natalie for the great video. Simple but effective!!!

[@niguel4438]

Great timing. You just described me and what I’m trying to do. Appreciate the ‘feel’ approach to learning. Thanks.

Love it - another great drill - simple and effective - keep the content coming it is helping hugely.

many thanks John 👍⛳️

[@rogerking3449]

just exactly what i have been looking for, been a few years at least. now i can come thru the ball on a shallow approach, more time and longer straight window thru impact area. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤. thank you natalie !!!!!!!!!!!!

Good work Roger 👍

Thank you

[@rayjacques9981]

This gives me a great feeling of extending my arms through impact. Thanks for the tip, so useful as you can do it during a round to reinforce the feel.👍

[@thedreamer2766]

Never seen this before....brilliant drill.....cheers Natalie!👍👍

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

you are welcome 😊

[@redhed9776]

Excellent tip......love the accent.

[@nathangould2856]

This tip really was a game changer for me because it helped me realize I have been coming out of my swing posture for years. Last two golf rounds, hit my irons better than in years.

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

great work Nathan

Thanks for all the coaching tips Natalie. As a female senior golfer who didn’t start playing until I was 54 (66 now off handicap 16) I find your explanations very precise, helpful and easy to follow. I wished you lived in Australia.🦘🏌️‍♀️🌹

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

thank you ⛳️

[@yvancouture8130]

Can I use the same drill with the driver ?

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Yes absolutely

[@cathyporter3846]

Great video! Thank you! Hoping this will help me to stop hitting behind the ball or topping the ball with my irons. 🏌🏼‍♀️👍🏻

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Thanks Cathy

[@mirandaslaats1342]

Great explanation I am working with this for a time with my pro. I left my arms more passive, and have trouble with impact. but with your explanation your arm are more active? Can you tell me how start the downswing in combination with the downswing? Many thankss

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

you need to start your downswing with your pressure shifting from right foot into left foot, before you reach the top of the backswing with the club. this will create a chain reaction of you turning lower body towards the target that then turns upper body towards target that then releases the arms and club towards the target. let me know if you need any help with this.

[@manzoorshah3277]

Hi Natali It is good to see you again .I emphasis lot on this too to my students if you want to creat that optimal speed.I like to stay informed as always while even watching your videos and helps ne out if my teachings are in consonace with great pros like you.where are you based right now ;i guess in England .Is your Golf clinic there.Iam.Nanzoor (PGAI) pro from india.

Great video 📹

[@thomasfraser9072]

Hi Natalie. So to be clear we are not dragging the bottom of the stick on the ground with our hands; but with the proper rotation of our body. Correct? Also the purpose of this drill is to assure ourselves the the head of our club must drag behind just before impact to the ball. Correct? So with the above in mind I simply rotate the lateral lead muscle of my thigh outward to get all the other muscles cooperating as my entire body to rotates throughout my downswing. Utilizing the lateral muscles in our thigh as we keep in our golf posture until the end of our swing is the key to our perfect swing and we can clearly see is the key to professional golfer swings as well. Rotating the lateral lead muscles of the lead thigh inward on the backswing and then outward on the downswing is the key to an infallible swing. Cheers

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Both correct, the resistance that the ground provides means that you will engage better muscles to get the feeling of the movement through impact, you won’t just move your arms unless you do that deliberately

[@theophilusjohnson4680]

Great tip! Though I didn't know Martina Navratilova golfed?

tennis legend, I’m honoured and flattered but she is twenty or so years older than me in not so honoured 🤣🤣🤣

@@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING No disrespect intended and to be honest, it has been over 20 years since I've seen a picture of her. My apologies.

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

I wasn’t offended at all so no need to apologise 👍⛳️

[@VimMitt]

Do i need to drop the club first in front of me before I rotate?

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

You need to rotate and “drag” the club with you

[@gothic8]

nice. Im struggling with a case of the shanks..trying to rebuild my swing..HELP!

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

you’ve got too much pressure in your toes on your downswing and/or your hands have moved too much towards the target line on your downswing. take a look at this and if you any further help let me know kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIisd5durbCDjrc

[@gothic8]

@@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING I really want to say thank you ma'am! The video is excellent. I have no idea why thing has happened. i used to be a really good golfer and after playing a round in the 70's, I've lost my mind. I do not trust my take away to the point that I'm watching the club go away from then trying to hit the ball.......SCARY! Thank you for your referee material as i work through this. can't get golf lessons due to COVID and finding got instructions is tough. Beautiful work!

[@miamistomp]

I will try it I tend to have good rotation but sometimes hang on too long for a big old hook !

[@nickfewings28]

Great tip for working on the range. Nice bruise on your right arm there Natalie

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Hi Nick its a burn from a hover mower exhaust, don't ask! and it hurt...…..a lot

[@RoseAussie]

SMASH FACTOR GOLF COACHING I noticed your arm too. Oh gosh! You poor thing.😧 Hope you had an Aloe Vera plant in your garden to apply to it at the time.🌹

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Yes we put some on, its healing now slowly thank you

[@nickfewings28]

@@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING I bet it hurt. Hope you are healing quickly

[@PauloG100]

Ouch, I didn't notice the burn until others mentioned it, but I am a guy :) Natalie, can you comment on the subject of keeping ones back towards the target for as long as possible in the downswing? Seems to work for me when I get it right, but I would love to hear your thoughts.

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Hi Paul yes keeping your upper back towards the target as you start your downswing but rotating your pelvis towards the target creates more separation (a higher angle difference) between your upper and lower body so basically you have increased your coil/torque/twist which means your up upper body will accelerate faster through impact - which is a good thing

[@robmatthews4680]

Natalie...I would assume this is more for irons as opposed to a driver swing??? Meaning your hands wouldn't lead with the driver as one would be swing 'up'.

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

correct 👍

[@oleggalkin1831]

I disagree. You do not “swing up” artificially. Every swing is an arc and ball position mostly dictates if you hit it up or down. In case of the driver ball is much further forward comparing to the iron so you hit it on the upward part of the arc while in iron case it is positioned in the lowest point of your arc. I think the more identical yours swing every time the better.

[@KeepTheOldskoolFireBurning]

Amazing content....Great coach....Beautiful woman.....nothing can go wrong - apart from my attempt to put it into practise

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

ha ha thank you...... practice makes perfect ⛳️

[@1cleandude]

You can make a point on one end of the alignment STICK and stick it into the club shaft through the grip hole. Leave enough of the CANE sticking out of the grip so it would be placed against your lead side! I make slow practice swings with a wedge and try to keep the CANE from whacking my side via flipping! Good feel and reinforcement drill! Cheers Oh don’t use a POLE cause it’s too big!!

Less talking more showing

Is this lady married? Lol..

[@scottywilliams1061]

Would be the perfect wife for an avid golfer;)..

[@mdjamilabdulkarim1364]

Is it because she’s kept on saying alignment “Pole” instead of alignment “Stick”?
