Wow.. Not only did u simplify the downswing, but you made the entire swing very easy to do. without overthinking it.

[@harryshawgolf]

Thank you, really pleased you found this video simple. The golf swing can be easy/ simple. But it’s also very easy to over complicate. Keep me posted with how you get on after trying this!

[@jeffpaul606]

I can’t find the video that I made a comment a while back on the squat motion so here’s my update: it absolutely works! My mantra has been turn (into right hip), drop (squat), and pop (push up and through).

[@harryshawgolf]

That's so great to read Jeff thanks for letting me know!

[@mrjakejohnson]

By far, the best video on youtube on how to engage the lower body on the downswing. Well done!

[@harryshawgolf]

Hi thank you so much for the Super Thanks! Much appreciated, i'm really pleased you've found this video useful to help you improve your downswing with the lower body move!

[@bogeyball1]

Thank you, sir. Simple, concise, and informative! It's your vocal description that allows me to use my earbuds and swing away... well done!

[@harryshawgolf]

Thank you for commenting, pleased to read my explanations are easy to understand for you to take on board and improve your golf.

[@johnschwartz1536]

Excellent suggestion Harry on how to initiate the downswing with the lower body. I have been using your backswing recommendation and it has been working out quite well for me. Now, all I have to do is to implement this ground force move into my downswing. Well Done Harry!

[@harryshawgolf]

Thanks John, always great hearing from you and helping you improve your golf game. How are you finding this move so far?

[@harryshawgolf]

Brilliant, let me know how it goes!

[@jjcampbell3654]

Easy video to follow when do I transfer my weight and rotate the hips in what order thanks for your help kindly advise Jack

[@harryshawgolf]

As your pushing back up from the squat the rotation and transition will happen naturally. These two things are things that will happen with you encourage this push off from the press down taking place. Hope this makes sense!

[@masonmckenzie5273]

I am on the right track with the squat, to me it feels as if it is happening about 75% of backswing. Have had wonderful ranges session with this technique but does not translate under pressure in match play. To many old habits come back I suppose but on the right track.

[@harryshawgolf]

Hi Mason, great to read you've been practicing this movement. Would recommend finding a routine to help you handle the pressure on the golf course. Would you like me to see if i can get a mind coach specialist in golf to come on the channel, i've learnt a lot from him and i do believe he'll help you.

[@jjcampbell3654]

Hi Harry thanks for your prompt reply I'm going to keep the right arm flexed as a top in the backswing and rely on my rotation of the upper body in the backswing to keep the left arm straight any comment on keeping the hinge of the right hand through impact thanks for your help kindly advise Jack

[@harryshawgolf]

HI Jack, pleased you've managed to watch this video after my recommendation. So for the correct wrist hinge i would advise staying tuned to this Fridays video and next weeks video as i'll cover this in more detail. My latest video will also help with controlling the wrists more through impact and prevent over release/ early release and hooking the ball. Hope this helps.

[@jjcampbell3654]

Hi Harry thanks for your prompt reply when you say push lower body off and through do you mean pushoff right foot transfer weight and rotate lower body thanks for your help kindly advise Jack

[@harryshawgolf]

i would recmened feeling this more fro the right foot, so the pressure being maintained/ added into the trail side (the right foot) as you press down, so it needs to be pushed off fro this same foot, and you'll find when doing this that the hips rotates and fires anyway... this happens naturally!

[@jjcampbell3654]

Hi Harry great video at the top do you recommend straightening the right arm to keep the left arm straight or should I keep the right elbow pointing to the ground with full wedge of the right hand thanks for your help kindly advise Jack

[@harryshawgolf]

Hi thanks for commenting, so i would recommend allow the right arm/ trail arm to flex as you would do with tow hands on the club during a normal backswing. So allow the arm to flex.

[@nitinarora986]

Drill: trail hand on backswing does it need to stay connected with the armpit?

[@harryshawgolf]

Hi thanks for commenting, it does'nt need to be tucked in to a point where it's too connected however we also don't want the trail arm to flare away too much from the body. As long as the right arm folds correctly you'll find this drill easy... but if you're struggling with this... the video that's coming out on Friday to do with the arms will be great for you to watch so stay tuned for that.

[@PG-fy9zd]

The backswing squat. Part of this video is great.However, I think the next move to the front leg and turning could use another video I think a lot of us get confused with the reaction force coming back up after the squat and is that the move that pulls our shoulders around on the plane or is it a timed combo of push off and turn.. It seems to be the part in a lot of videos that gets really missed about how to get around the corner from the top.. Great video!

[@harryshawgolf]

Hi thanks for commenting with another video idea, yes for someone like myself who's done this move over and over again it's easy for me to say push up and through. But you're right, what does it mean? I shall take note of this when i look into another video based on this topic.

[@vonundzusas]

@@harryshawgolf would love to see a video about this as well. I can't manage the transition as soon as the swing gets faster

[@harryshawgolf]

Hi thanks for letting me know, i'll add this to the list of videos to produce. Stay tuned!

[@jeffwd32]

Thank you Harry, that’s the simplest analogy/explanation I’ve ever seen. 👍

[@dawnpatrolgolf]

What happens if you start to do the squat movement but you are now hitting behind the ball instead of where your previous angle of attack had you hitting the lowest point in front of the ball?

[@harryshawgolf]

Hi thanks for commenting, this is a great indication that you’re really exaggerating the squat move to take place but you need to push back up & turn through faster.

[@dawnpatrolgolf]

@@harryshawgolf Thank you very much. Appreciate the advice!

[@harryshawgolf]

No problem, keep me posed with how you're getting on and if you're looking for a second pair of eyes on your swing/ second opinion, take a look at my online coaching profile via Skillest skillest.app.link/profile?u=2dyZpwGMSMDiPJfPJ

[@DIOS10]

So does it mean one has to stand slightly taller in backswing to execute the little squat move ? Just feels to rotate to top of swing , to then execute that move, it’s difficult in the sequence as it’s no time to do. For me anyway. But if standing slightly taller, it’s easy to perform it.

[@harryshawgolf]

Yes you will find that standing slightly taller (legs slightly straighter at the top) but i would set up as you normally would to then be a little taller at the top of the backswing to really enourage more of a squat move to begin the downswing. Hope this makes sense.

[@DIOS10]

[@raymondmedemblik9374]

Could you feel as though your falling to your left on transition

[@harryshawgolf]

HI Raymond, i wouldn't recommend this because you can end up getting stuck and early extending, allow the swati to take place then push up and through onto the lead side.

[@arielluna4399]

[@harryshawgolf]

Please you enjoyed the video!

[@simonleach3812]

Incorrect understanding of Newton's Third Law (you are not alone!). If you apply a force on the ground, the ground will apply a force back on you which is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The object in question does not have to be stationary or at a constant velocity which is not like forces in equilibrium on the one body where there is no acceleration. Without acceleration, you cannot swing a golf club! Here endeth the lesson.

[@harryshawgolf]

Hi Simon, thank you for clarifying the correct understanding of newtons third law. How's your golf going?

[@simonleach3812]

Thank you for asking Harry. Some would just accuse me of being a pompous git. I'm trying out your move - the squat move is a more difficult concept to execute for many golfers and feels counter-intutiative but I must admit this is simpler than starting the downswing with "rotate" which can lead to "over the top" (as you say) and when you squat, you end up rotating anyway to complete the swing. Always known the old adage of "keep your head still" is wrong - it has a compact U-shape motion.

[@harryshawgolf]

Hi Simon, yes this concept helps and has helped a lot of my students produce a more reliable downswing move to make better contact and see better ball flights. If you have any further questions on this or would like a second pair of eyes on your golf swing. You can follow me on Skillest (an online coaching app) skillest.app.link/profile?u=2dyZpwGMSMDiPJfPJ

[@namnguyen-tc5vt]

@HarryShaw, you are becoming my favorite golf coach. You're able to simply this squat move and clarify what Ben Hogan tried in his fundamentals book. Doing the squat move looks simple but it's so difficult. When I slow it down, I lose the rythm, when I speed it up, I would come over the top. But I will keep working on this. Thank you for all your teachings.

[@harryshawgolf]

You're very welcome, pleased this video above all makes sense to you, go ahead and work on this and if you're needing a second pair of eyes to check you're doing this move right for your golf swing.
