Thanks for the senior tips. Very informative.

TOP OF THE TOP GOLF PRO!!! 👏👏👏 Huge RESPECT from Russia 🇷🇺

Any tips using this pole if your swing is the opposite - too flat? Thanks

Great drill & something I need to do

I can't believe you can hit a golf ball with both thumps off the club. The club just wiggles in my hands. Lol I tried.!!

Cool Gilles. Thanks. Very simple and effective.

Thank you for the video!! Well done, and with some great advice.

Right elbow can be away at top of backswing but drops down to right hip bone or right pocket or belt loop to shallow the shaft, does it not? Is your left wrist bowed or flat?

How does that work for us older folks (60+)?

Thanks Giles. This is something I’ve never tried. Looking forward to setting this up today as I’m curious if I’ll touch the stick. Either way I’m looking forward to see where I can make any adjustments to my game as even after 40 plus years and still holding onto a single digit handicap I’m still learning and open to change.

Excellent simple easy to follow .very helpful thanks refreshing

Jesus as a senior I need 2-3 thoughts note 24 ..... you are kidding me ! Lol

Excellent tip Giles on how the golfer will stay on plane by staying under the 45* angle. I am always working on a inclined circle path and immediately know when it gets off plane. Well Done Giles! Keep up your good work!

Love this tip. 🤙

Who’s done or seen this drill before?

Great stuff. tempo is SO super important for your golf swing. One thing that has also helped me is paying attention to gravity... like doing a backswing and just feeling the club drop back down at the speed of gravity. Letting gravity dictate the speed of the downswing at first and then gently accelerating from there seems to work nicely for me.

That's a great way visual of that. Is it the same when hitting a driver also? Please let me know

Set up is critical to good shot making. A golf swing cannot be consciously controlled. It happens too fast. Therefore, correct set up is essential. A 3 minute golf lesson is perfect. Too many swing thoughts set up a shot to fail. Good set up + good tempo = good shot.

Great vid..How do you translate the step drill into an actual swing ?

Eureka moment! Good explanation.

The pause at the top is critical to prevent rushing the downswing and allowing you to let your weight shift on to the left or lead leg. It allows the momentum of the heavy chunk of metal (the club head) going back to come to a stop and change to momentum in the opposite direction in the downswing. If you want the use names to help set this rhythm, two good ones are Vijay Singh (stretch out the first name as in Vee Jaaaay and make the last one short and a bit explosive) and Ernie Els.

What role does the left or lead arm wrist play if it is bowed (in flexion) versus cupped?

I never realized I was firing with my chest too early. This video is really helpful for me.

“Light thumbs” works for me. When I’m warming up in the nets, I will even ‘grip’ (if that’s the right word) the club in the gap between forefinger and the next finger of my right (trail) hand. That really does make it impossible to grip it tight and allows a really free, relaxed swing.

I switched to a 2 hand grip instead of interlocking many years ago. I felt there was more flexibility for me to hinge. I also took my trailing hand thumb off the grip to grip a bit more like a baseball bat with my bottom(trailing) hand. That also gave more flexibility but more importantly it took away the tendency to cast the club and helped to allow centrifugal force to be the speed generator in my swing. I don’t swing any faster but I definitely don’t have to work so hard for the speed either

Yes yes yes so good my man

Thank you for this video! You are awesome instructor

Excellent Giles. Center contact to me is the most important one you went over. Without that bad things happen. I spray a “powdered” foot spray on the face of the club I’m hitting. I get instant feedback that shows where the ball made contact. After a few shots, I wipe off and reapply. I have worn spots on my clubs in the center of the face. Hope this helps some of you golfers out there trying to accomplish center contact….

I find that if I hit casual like I’m doing a pitch shot then the way the ball behaves because of my easy relaxed swing is so much better

I like to walk and move quickly when going somewhere (like you and Rory). Both a 1-2-3 swing tempo (like Ernie Els and Fred Couples) and a 1-2 tempo (like Nick Price, or Rory with his early transition) have worked for me. I think when my arms and chest are more synchronized in their pace and stopping position for top of swing is when I get better shots. Conversely, if my arms abduct across my chest and arm swing gets long (making upper body be ahead of arms coming down, arms never being capable of catching up the swing is more of a struggle, feels like it takes more effort, and produces slower speeds. It gives the illusion of a slower tempo overall, but is really more of an out of sequence making the swing take longer).

GOLD!

hey joe. u look a little excited their

Excellent explanation. Thank you 🙏

What brand of launch monitor are you using with your phone

That slight pause at the top has made all the difference in the world for a guy who used to rush his downswing & often early extend. Those light thumbs are also good for chipping too.

Thanks for this video, Giles. I'm getting back into golf after 5-year layoff. I couldn't play due to lower back issues. I've lost considerable distance since trying to play again, which is causing me to swing too hard and rush the downswing. I can't get it through to my brain to swing smooth. I will try the drills you recommend and hopefully start eliminating the fat and thin shots I've been experiencing lately. When I do swing smooth, I generally make solid contact. Thanks again!!

A great instruction video. I'm a singe-figure player and struggling with the shanks. I've never seen the causes explained so clearly (and definitely never in one place) or to have sensible, practical drills to solve them. I'll be heading to the range tomorrow to get things sorted. Thank you.

Excellent video Giles on how to create TEMPO and RHYTHM in one's golf swing. Of your suggestions, I like the "push back" and the "light thumbs" drill the best. Always learning and validating from you Giles! Keep up the good work!

The best over all lesson I have ever seen!!!!

Light thumbs is a great thought

Which key is most important for you?

That’s a good way to get your weight stuck on your trail foot and skull fuck the ball😂 good advice just amateurs such as myself would end up with too much weight on the trail foot

Excellent work, one of the best instructional videos I’ve ever seen.. well done sir

Great video but what about weight shift for striking the ball when on the ground ( irons, woods, hybrids). This method looks great when ball is on a tee. When low point is ahead of the ball surely one needs to start the initial move with a slight bump to the left THEN think about rotation ? I really need to work this sequence out as my fault is falling forward.

Even with some serious tendonitis in both wrists, your drills really helped me stopped the shanking and left pull shots with my wedges. One of the worst things about shanking is the negative thought that you will shank. I practice in my backyard with the almost golf ball and hit 80 to 120 foot shots. The almost golf ball goes 1/3 the distance of a real ball but a wonderful training shot ball. Thanks again Giles and that head cover under the arm pit during the swing is a super tip.☺Sincerely, Bill M., Uncasville, CT

can u also just put the ball instead in the middle, just put it 2in back. how is that different ?

Thank you for a very helpful video. I have subscribed.

What about pushing up and back with the left or lead leg to generate hip turn and speed? Realize it can be difficult for older players like me (turn 83 today) but still seems to make sense to try without falling into the error of jumping violently. I think you may have recommended it yourself in another video. Also its important not to let the left arm collapse and bend on the backswing, which brings the hands and grip in closer to the ears, throws everything out of sequence, creates a weak slappy, wristy swing that will send the ball left into the woods every time.

great thank u will try this out

How does the Calloway Supersoft compare? It is much more durable than the Chromesofts I have hit. I have not used the Tour softs to see about them.
