How The Left Shoulder Works In The Golf Swing

How The Left Shoulder Works In The Golf Swing

if you are watching this and you have a flat shoulder turn like me, you are going to need to feel like your left shoulder goes even more down than that checkpoint. If I’m on the wrong side of a checkpoint to flat and I know that my left shoulder needs to go down, then I need to feel like it goes way down. The whole point of these videos is to give you a checkpoint. You need to feel as far as you need to – one way or the other – to hit that checkpoint.

From the top and into the downswing, the left shoulder should go down and around. When we look at slow motion videos of PGA Tour players and we draw the circle around the head, we notice their whole body as a unit. What should you feel from the top of the swing? It depends on where you’re coming from. If your normal tendency is to go up right away, then you need to feel like you go down and around even more than normal. If you go down and around too much, (which is like one out of a thousand of you) then you need to feel like you go more up.

Hank Haney Keys for a More Consistent Golf Swing

Golf instructor Hank Haney corrects a reader’s swing via Twitter. 

Hank Haney’s followers on Twitter always send him pictures of their swing and one of the most common pictures that I see is where their address position and their impact position look so distinctively different. When you set up to the golf ball, you have a certain amount of bend forward from your hips.

GOLF: How To Stay Centered During The Backswing

July 3, 2018

How To Stay Centered During the Backswing

My swing philosophies are based on just watching the best players for a long period of time. When I first started analyzing swings I would do the old draw the circle around their head from face on and see where they would go relative to that circle. If you go back and watch great players throughout time, certainly some guys stay right in that circle. Some guys move off the circle a little bit more. I prefer a swing model where if you draw the circle around their head they remain relatively stable or a centered pivot.

Golf Lessons – Pitch Shot Distance Control

July 12, 2015

Playing accurate pitch shots to the distance you want can be challenging for a lot of players. A player will do the correct preparation prior to playing the shot in that they laser an exact yardage, check their lie, wind and elevation change, but then guess at how long to swing the club to produce the required distance. Then they wonder why they are unable to pitch the ball close to hole on a regular basis. There is a better way.

Derek has been teaching his players a pitching distance matrix for a number of years and it has made a huge difference to their ability to regularly get the ball close to the hole with a pitch shot. It is a system that I copied from Dave Pelz, it is simple to understand and learn, as well as implement on the golf course.

The feedback from his players after learning the distance matrix is that this transforms their ability to pitch the ball close to the hole. As they set up to a shot there is no guesswork as to how long the swing should be or which club they should use. All the guessing is taken away and you are free to execute quality pitch shots. It will do the same for you also.
