Wow!! I thought the club head was a close-up to the camera that showed the actual movement, and it was pretty nice, but realized that it was actually ten times bigger than a regular club head!! That was really funny. Im' 73 and there is only so much tilt left in this ol' body, but the idea is great for those who are able to flex to pro degrees. Thx.

I made this same chance 2 weeks ago after watching both Viktor & Brooks. Playing off 10.2, I shot 39 points in Wednesday Comp. & 38 Points in Saturday Comp. Hit more fairways & straighter irons to the greens, makes my swings feel more complete & need to re adjust distance as irons are now 5 - 10- metres longer.

[@johnk.atchley5079]

Am watching video after video of yours. Really good info and drills. One thing about the position of the right arm here where you stop the motion with shaft parallel to the ground is that the right elbow for the pros is always tight to the belt and usually a bit in front of the body at the waist, while so many of us amateurs end up with the right elbow away from the body and coming in to the side of the waist. One thing that helps is on the backswing to keep the elbows close together so that the right forearm will be quite vertical and the right elbow will be at the side, almost still in front, not lifting up and back (which forces the forearm to be more horizontal). From that position it is easier to bring the right arm/elbow down and at the belt just in front of the waist. Keeping the shoulders tilted as you instruct and the right ear pointing at the ball is also part and parcel of this move with the right arm slightly bent at contact.

Zalitoris have a smaller pelvic tilt than the other golfers you shown, his pelvis is almost level to the ground which increase his side bend that put more stress on his back.

[@CraigHansonGolf]

interesting point - poor leg work will do that with his right leg, kicking out towards the ball like it does 👍👍

[@stevec8352]

@@CraigHansonGolf I also noticed that his pelvis is far more ahead (in rotation) than his shoulders. This would put a lot of twisting force on his back.

[@Sueezedtight]

Every pro is athletic, practiced and dedicated. They share the one important feature, they get to impact consistently and efficiently. Amateurs much less so. I gave up due to back pain but came back to golf using a rotary type swing (my "angle" at impact is about 55 deg.) but there is no lower back flexion or torsion so there is no back pain (for me). The body turns, shoulders slightly more than hips as the arms traverse the ball. I maintained my CHS (about 95-100 mph with the driver) but my contact is more solid and much more efficient. I now hit the ball right down the middle of the fairway. Too bad that it took this long to find "my" swing but after 3 years, I hope to shoot my age (69) this season. 73 was my failure to achieve last year's goal (par) but you gotta keep movin" as they say... ;)

[@CraigHansonGolf]

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Great to hear! Thanks for posting

[@golfshoe9321]

i think this action of the steep shoulder angle into impact can be triggered from one of two sources: either conscious shoulder dipping or shoving the lead hip back away from the ball. Both will promote less early extension and right foot rolling towards the target at impact as opposed to kicking up and towards the ball. Each person will find one trigger easier than the other.

[@danielwenderlich3438]

Great information! I came about this swing by trying to hit a cut shot. I have always had a tendency to hit draws but my missis were a push right or a hook left. I have been studying the benefits of a cut shot so I have been lower the right shoulder down and around and keeping the left shoulder up. I had to feel to hit a cut that my left should was producing a cut by the way it move left around and my right was even more down and right. Like my trail should was titling my left should more to the right. My thought was this would produce the cut shot. I was able cut the ball pretty regular. I found with a little adjustment of the shoulder tilt I could hit a straight shot , a draw. Theni started to adjust the wrist to hit hight, low , left and right. I found this swing was so easy to duplicate, I found it very natural for my body and swing and to top it out if was effortless and I was hitting the ball with power , accuracy and distance not obtainable before. Looking forward to more videos!

[@mrfantano]

Craig, Im 5'5" 4hcap. With as much tilt as recommended I can't seem to get this to work. Do you think my equipment is adding difficulty in my situation. The sticks are 08 Apex Forged, avg 7 iron distance is 161, oddly enough avg 9 iron is 128 and the heads are not bent for L/L. It leads me to believe that it is due in large to the way the face enters the hitting area. This has also caused a tremendous hook with Hybrid and Metals incl Driver.

[@CraigHansonGolf]

[@astroguy1856]

I see a lot of comments about injuries on the back, I think some needs to understand that ofc we can't get the same swing as the pros off the bat. But we can practice the movement and improve- the more you pratice the easier the swing gets, and the more natural it gets. Ofc it can cause some pains, but there is no mastering without the practice and perhaps a little pain. The payoff is greater than the mishaps - imo. :)

I hit inside with horrible results trying this today until I placed the clubhead farther behind ball (irons), aligned tip of toe w/center of ball, and aimed at 11 O'clock.

[@JeffreySaxophoneTallNewton]

@@CraigHansonGolf Thank you! Do you agree or disagree on my address clubhead placement? I think either the increased sidebend, the wrist flipping (on your other video) or some combination of both causes me to be closer to the ball than normal at impact (resulting in heel hits), hence my set-up adjustment (especially the part where I align the tip of the toe to the center of the ball at address).

[@oldprogolf7292]

My consultant told me 40 years ago when I had a slipped disc that long thin backs (like mine and Zalatoris) were much more vulnerable. I believe that the desired shoulder tilt is not the problem it is the side bend coupled with very fast hips like Zalatoris. Tall, skinny amateurs are asking for trouble if they drive the hips fast while crunching the spine sideways. Flex the legs more and allow the hands to release. Snead is a good example, Mickelson another. I was warning against the Zalatoris, Niemann swings years ago. Don't copy if you are tall and slim.

[@CraigHansonGolf]

yeah level hip turn is also a problem Zalatoris kicks his right knee out towards the golf ball, making the hips turn level as well. Combined with tilt not a good move thanks for posting 👍

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but my low back hurts after I play golf. I’m trying to mimic pros swing but recently my back started to hurt. I think this is your best instructional video thus far.

[@EVERYTHINGHEEM]

I think the pros are using there hands more then we think they are. I hurt my back when I first started playing. heard that term (turn) and it destroyed me. I had to play with my hands until my back healed, and I shot the best rounds I’ve ever shot. I was putting the ball where I wanted on command it was crazy. I think finding the right grip size is pivotal to allow you to use your hands more. This old guy on the range told me one time, your hands aren’t inconsistent you’re just using them inconsistently. I switched to taking the club away with my left shoulder to load it. Then I get the feeling of the club dropping in the slot/ letting my right oblique lose tension then I fire my right hand at the ball. Been playing a year and a half and shooting consistently in the 80’s. I hope your back gets better man. Find out what works for you so you don’t destroy your back.

[@golfshoe9321]

What I'm confused about is: you have possibly three ways to steepen the shoulders when coming into impact: 1) drive the left hip back perpendicular to the ball, 2) work the hands close to the body, or 3) intentionally dip the right shoulder down. This has to be repeatable. Which one should a plagued early extender like myself focus on. #1 ala Mike Malaska's instructions is very difficult, #3 is hard to do with longer clubs...your thoughts please.

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Drive your left hip back on the downswing? Work your the hands close to the body? - Please explain how they workflows steepen the shoulders into impact??????? - i would like to hear that please.

[@golfshoe9321]

@@CraigHansonGolf Sure, that steep shoulder is an effect from 3 levers we can control. Get into impact position without a club, move your hands closer to your body - the right shoulder will tend to tilt down. Get back to impact position again and this time move your left hip back away from the ball (perpendicular) - shoulders will dip again. And finally, consciously dipping the right shoulder as you are advocating here, will in fact move the hands closer and requires the hips to move back.

Very interesting. Are there any exceptions to the rule? (Ben Hogan, George knudson) etc.

it’s more of a modern move because players are forced to hit it so far Hogan had less tilt through the ball he also had a very neutral club face position Hogans swing is very unique

[@azcharlie2009]

I agree, the modern swing requires more side tilt. I do notice how much more my right side hurts as a result. I am right handed and 75 years old, though. It is very hard for me to get off my right side and on to my left leg.

[@CraigHansonGolf]

getting off, your right side might be also related to your clubface position?

That’s why we developed one of the most detailed senior golf instructional series ever on WorldClassgolf.com I am giving so many swing analysis lessons online to so many senior golfers! 👍

New swing

Let’s compare two swings of the same player an than speak about tilt and side band. There is all about wrist not band or tilt. Is not possible make the same tilt two times in the row. Consistent the shot is due the compensation with the wrist movement. Hit mor balls and be more consistent.

Maybe it is an illusion to me, but it also looks like these guys are not yanking their left side up at the same time as they rotate through. Their left knee looks more bent.

They do this for a living and have access to great doctors and can afford to miss paychecks. Start swinging like them and you will end up with injuries serious ones.

[@CraigHansonGolf]

i like the one about the access to great doctors 😆😆.. if only we had that access! - Dam it! …

[@korbinsworld24]

The feel for this swing is trying to hit a low cut.

[@CraigHansonGolf]

i actually it high draw with it …but hey why not another opinion we don’t have enough in golf 😊😊

[@magicaloha5593]

Zalitoris's swing is killing his back. If you look at impact his spine is so crooked compared to Rahm. Rahm's spine is pretty straight at impact. Will's spine at impact is so crooked and compressed it hurts looking at that. Alot of the young golfers are swinging this way and it's killing their back. No reason someone that young should be having back problems like that.

[@CraigHansonGolf]

his hips are to flat or level compared to rahm ..his right knee kicks out towards the ball .. his shoulders are 55 degrees that’s not even steep

[@FGrecoJR]

The pros swings are clearly worse on the back. The reason the amateurs aren't in the same position as Rahm is because their backs can't handle that position! Let's not act like the golf swing is a natural motion. You want to hit it 320 you have to hurt your body in the long run. Same as all other sports.

[@CraigHansonGolf]

it’s definitely possible for all golfers to reach their potential and improve their swings. As i said in the video!!!!!!!!!’ We cant all swing like Rahm but we can all improve and understand swing technique mote effectively FGrecoJR

[@FGrecoJR]

@WorldClassGolf - Craig Hanson & Dr. Rob Neal I agree with that for sure but the pros way is still worse on the back but it's the sacrifice needed to play at highest potential level.

[@salihalexanderesq.2243]

And this is why Will Zalotoris is under 27 and out for the season AGAIN with a back injury AGAIN.

[@CraigHansonGolf]

did you see Will in the Video? ..

[@thegrmcrckr488]

Makes my back hurt

[@CraigHansonGolf]

stretch more

[@marrto]

Didn't willy z have a massive s curve at address? Terrible for the spine

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Hes in the video! how about watching it before you comment🙈

[@marrto]

Yea i know mate, wasn't questioning any of the content, just poorly worded questioning of his s spine at address, that's strain on the lumbar spine before even rotating or tilting

[@alanwaterworth6464]

This is not a new thing; go back further and look at Ben Hogans swing, arguably one of the best ball strikers of all time, the amount of rotation he had was unreal

[@CraigHansonGolf]

??? yeah, but he had a lot less side bend threw the ball. What on earth are you talking about?

[@alanwaterworth6464]

@@CraigHansonGolf John Rahm is 188 (6´1") tall, Sam Snead, 1.8 (6´) Fred Couples 1.8 (6´). Will Zalatoris, 188 (6´1") Hogan was 174 (5´8"); a taller player will find it easier to swing steeper anyway, Hogans clubs were a little flatter due to his height, but it´s hip rotation and shoulder rotation that produces power and prevents back injury. That´s what I´m talking about.

[@CraigHansonGolf]

@@alanwaterworth6464 the video is about side bend? ….Hogans swing is completely different as you just mentioned! - ??? Your initial comment was “ this is not new Hogan did this! You just explained he’s he was heaps smaller and his clubs where flatter. Completely different. Completely contradicting yourself. His Swing was completely different a much more level shoulder plane through the ball. I said what are you talking about? Did you actually watch the video? A lot of time it’s unbelievable what people write these days.

[@alanwaterworth6464]

@@CraigHansonGolf it´s also unbelievable that people post stuff on the internet and cant handle anyone disagreeing. The whole point of your video seems to be about avoiding back injury. I didnt contradict myself at all. The level of shoulder tilt seems to be related more to how tall a player is than any "new" thing. But if you cant handle any kind of debate on it then I sure as hell wouldnt be taking any kind of advice from you.

[@CraigHansonGolf]

@@alanwaterworth6464 the whole point of the video is about tilt and turn. Xander Schauffele is not tall and has huge tilt through the ball. So it’s got nothing to do with how tall you are. I don’t mind people disagreeing I just can’t stand ignorance and ridiculous arrogant comments. Hogan has low 40 degree tilt through the ball. That’s why i asked what on earth are you taking about. You’re entitled to another opinion, but you can’t just make stuff up? It’s ridiculous

[@Pulse2AM]

They're both really young give it time. The Golf swing is not a natural body movement, lots of stress points.

[@CraigHansonGolf]

[@fradaja]

New move ? Lol

[@CraigHansonGolf]

i got your click

[@yttommy76]

How come you don’t have right wrist flexion here after impact despite your other video saying this was key…. Are you not all starting to feel ashamed about all the confusing nonsense content out there?

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Because this video is about the left wrist you idiot

[@Baz303]

Nothing new really is it Ben Hogan was a master at this stack and tilt. Back to basics I'd call it.

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Ben Hogans swing was completely different? What do you mean?

[@CraigHansonGolf]

So how much tilt do you hogan had through the ball?

[@ericschroeder8932]

Uh, no. Flat out, no (no pun intended). As Craig points out, Hogan's swing was completely different. Further to his point, the lie angle of Hogan's clubs were 4 to 7 degrees flat. Bend your 7 iron's lie angle to 6 degrees flat, and let us know how it goes. Cheers!
