Hi thank you so much for letting me know this has not just helped you it's helped your friends improve their golf too. And yes this will certainly help any golfer improve their game. How's your golf going at the moment?

Hi Anthony, thanks for commenting, pleased you enjoyed the video, how's your golf going?

Thanks for commenting, pleased you enjoyed the video, have you managed to head to the range yet to try this squatting move?

Yes, the squatting move is very helpful..@@harryshawgolf

That's so great to read thanks for letting me know, is there anything in particular you'd like me to cover on the channel to help with anything you may be struggling with in your game at the moment?

Thanks Richard, pleased you enjoyed the video, more to come. How's your golf going?

Thanks for commenting, it's great to read this video has clarified things for you on how to correct the swaying motion in your golf swing. Add the pressure in the trail first, to push up and this will get you transferring your weight onto the lead side. If you're looking for more of a full in-depth video on this topic, have a look at this video... ukposts.info/have/v-deo/boN-lot4m6WYrYE.html

Hi Conny, thanks for commenting, it's great to read my tips are really helping you improve your golf. If you're ever looking for a second pair of eyes on your swing you can reach out to me via my website, the link is in the description.

Hi, thanks for commenting, it's great to read you've enjoyed the video and have found all the aspects of the backswing very useful. Yes, the transfer diagonally can cause loss of power as the 'jumping back' affects the strike location. Have you managed to give this a try at the driving range yet?

@@harryshawgolf Yes, I have Harry. I couldn’t believe the distance gained. My normal 7 iron distance is between 135-140 yards. With the squatting down and swing thru to my lead side, my swing speed was 90mph and the distance went upto 165 yards. Thank you very much for explaining swing mechanics so clearly and understand the issues faced by so many weekend hackers. David

That is amazing to read, wow, am so pleased to know this has gained you nearly 30 yards more distance, incredible results. Well if you need any more assistance, maybe more personalised golf coaching, I'd love to arrange a Zoom call with you to see what else we can do to further improve your game for the season ahead. If this interests you at any point, you can use the Zoom call link in the description to book a call!

Hit Tom, thanks for commenting, really pleased you've found this video useful and it's answered the questions you've been looking for in your swing. How's your golf going?

Not as well as I'd like, Harry! I beat a lot of balls, without result. I'd LOVE to be at "where" instead of "how", and just step up to the ball, knowing how to hit the shot. I've got zero confidence when I step up to the ball.@@harryshawgolf

Ah well let’s jump on a zoom call to discuss what you’re finding you’re struggling with in your swing, I’d be happy to help you come up with a plan to work on your game. The link is in the description!

Thank you, how’s your golf going?

Hi Jeff, thanks for commenting, and no problem! Yes the squat is a crucial part to the downswing which a lot of us golfers struggle to achieve simply because they haven’t found a ‘thought/ feel’ to this move. Now you have, give this a try and let me know how you get on!

@@harryshawgolf I definitely will keep you posted!

That's great to read Jeff thanks for letting me know, have you managed to give this a try on the course yet?

@@harryshawgolf not yet but hopefully soon!

Excellent we’ll comment and let me know how you get on when you’ve given this a try.

Thank you, have you managed to give this a try yet?

Yeah mate…def felt a mini breakthrough with trail arm and also transition ..feel of leaving the arms alone …slight squat..and using the chest rotation … I was pumped..then I cut my left hand with a Stanley knife and can’t swing now for several weeks…😢

Oh no that’s such a shame to read, it’s great however to read you found this really useful, well once you’re back up and running with the golf (hoping a speedy recovery for you) we can arrange a call to discuss how we can get you back up to speed with the swing before the season starts.

You’re very welcome, thanks for commenting, pleased you’ve enjoyed the video, have you managed to give this a try yet?

Thank you very much, have you managed to give this a try at the driving range?

Thanks for commenting Mike, pleased you found the elbow pointing down useful. Have you managed to play this weekend?

Hi Frank, thanks for commenting, pleased you like the backswing analogy in this video, is there anything else you'd like to see on the channel?

@@harryshawgolf I think the short game pitching,chipping n putting would be good sensei Harry.Thank u.

Sounds great Frank, I can look into those three aspects, more likely to be chipping and pitching techniques.

Hi Mike, thanks for commenting, pleased to read you now understand why you flare your right elbow out. I'm going to be posting a video in fact tomorrow on this topic but solely focused on the driver, so stay tuned!

Thanks for commenting, pleased you’ve enjoyed the video, how’s your golf going?

Game is ok. Mid/low 80s. I'm 55yrs old now and my body is getting old. Slow swing. Everything is nice and easy.

Ah I see, well if you’re looking for better methods personalised for you we can jump on a zoom call to talk about your golf more and come up with a plan of action to get your swing where you want it for the season ahead… how to maintain speed will be key for you!

That's brilliant to read, thanks for commenting, pleased to see it's made your takeaway much smoother and the squat is helping you begin the downswing!

Yes the towel under the right armpit and this bicep curl drill are certainly aimed to achieve very similar results. Have you managed to play this weekend?

Hi Marc, thanks for your comment, it's fascinating to read what you went through in your game (a big fall-apart moment) and now you've been able to take as many as 8 shots off your round from this video reminding you of what you should be doing in your swing. This is so great to see. in terms of the driver aspect when using this, too many golfers have the tendency to take the club back too quick because it's a longer club, take it bak (still doing the bicep curl) but wider motion from the start of the swing to the top of the backswing. I'd be happy to add this to my video topics to film in Feb if that's something that'll be useful for you? Let me know!

@@harryshawgolf Dear Harry, thank you for your insight into the transfer to the woods, specifically to the driver. Yes, it would be great to see a lesson on how to do this properly with the woods. I worked on it like you proposed (slower take away, still the curl) and I think I could identify the problem from a "how should it feel" point of view. At least for me, the secret of this move with the irons is the feel that my trail elbow basically never looses contact to my trailing body side, this avoids the elbow to "get loose", i.e., move back (behind the body, which is an absolut swing killer). With the contact it makes the whole take-away movement super stable without much effort. However, the woods (specifically the driver) seem to suggest to "make a wider swing" for more power. This in turn kind of pushes one towards loosing this elbow-to-body connection quite a bit. Once that is lost too much, at least for me it takes much more timing and swing control overall to bring the elbow back in to this proper body connection for a powerful impact position. At least that is how I could analyze it for me which might help the one or the other fellow golfer here...Swing feels often are hard to communicate, so I hope that makes sense ;)

Yes absolutely, i'm all about swing feels and something that feels to me (for example... using the right arm movement from this video) feels like i'm using more of my shoulder to move the club back but for you it'll feel like your lifting the elbow up, but on video it's the same. So i totally get it, i'll look into producing a video specifically designed to setting the trail arm in position and the difference with driver because with it being a bigger club, it will require a long takeaway, but then how do you keep the connection, so this all makes perfect sense for me to implement into another video on this topic. Perhaps in the meantime we could jump on a call to discuss these struggles with the driver and pin point a specific need for your swing to make sure you're ready for the season ahead? You can use the zoom call link to make a booking, would be great to chat with you!

Hi David, thanks for commenting, pleased to read you've enjoyed the video. Keep me posted with how you get on from using this, is there anything else you'd like to see on the channel?

Thanks! The external rotation in the trail arm, for the lead elbow/arm... will happen naturally, as you're just using your lead arm to help you guide the club to the top of the backswing.

Hi Peter, good question. Your arm and club shaft will be on slight different angles at set up so that if you were to draw a vertical line going from your hands it would finish at the golf ball. We don't want the hands too far forward ono too far back. Hope this makes sense, if you're still struggling with this let me know and i'd be happy to jump on a call to help you understand this further and see how we can get your game in shape for the season ahead.

Brilliant, keep me posted!

@@harryshawgolf Bear in mind I only play once a week and my last few Stapleford scores have been between 22 and 24 points plus I missed last week's game as I had a family commitment - with your right forearm set position in my mind before each shot I managed to score 31 Stapleford points - the most I've managed for about three months. This coming Wednesday I shall endeavour to do the same thing and hopefully improve once more.

Hi Martin, thanks so much for letting me know your successes from adding the keys from this video into your golf swing. Great to read it's paying off for you... same again please!

Hi Richard, thanks for commenting, pleased to read you're finding my videos useful. If you head over to the description of the video you'll notice a link which can take you straight to Skillest, what I would suggest is you book a zoom call too so we can discuss your goals and what you would like to achieve from your online lessons. hope this helps!

Hi thanks for commenting, hello! With regards to your lob shot request, this is certainly I can look into filming! is there anything in particular you’d like to find out regarding this shot?

Just basically the angle of descent of the club...some say to sweep the ball, some say to come in at a more descending angle. Also weight distribution is a mystery to me. Cheers! @@harryshawgolf

Thanks for letting me know I’ll take note of this video request and hope to plan something in the near future, it may have to be still indoors due to the poor weather we have here in the UK. But will certainly add it to the list!

Thank you, and yes you can use this same concept for every club in the bag. Have you managed to give this a try yet?

@@harryshawgolf I have just been practicing it inside and it feels good!! Thanks!

Brilliant, that's great to read, have you had chance to take this to the golf course yet?

@@harryshawgolf No I have not yet, I live in Edmonton Alberta, Canada and have to probably have to wait till the end of April for all the snow to be gone! I just usually practice in my family room just to keep in practice! Thanks for all your good tips!!

Oh so I’m guessing where your based at the moment there’s too much snow or poor weather to play golf? We’ll once your back up and running feel free to drop a comment or reach out to me on Skillest… happy to chat and see how we can get you ready for the golfing season!

Hi Steve, yes, so if you're someone who suffers from early extension it's better to exaggerate this move more, the squatting motion, however, depending on the reason you early extend can also change the answer to this issue you have in your game. Take a look at this video: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gp1mhJyOpG9-qZs.html and see if you find you do this, if so, it might be worth you focusing on this action first before getting the power move I teach from this video.

Good question, I would say around 4-5 yards away from where the ball is positioned to the nett. Then another 4-5 yards from Trackman to the ball. How's your golf going?

Good morning, thanks for commenting, I’d recommend watching this video here ukposts.info/have/v-deo/mXyman6GhHmLyY0.html if you’re struggling with the toe strikes!

Hi, thanks for commenting on what you've found since trying this drill, this indicates to me that you're not pushing off the ground and up and through to target quick enough... so using the trail foot to push yourself back up and through to finish. Let me know how it goes to try this.

It all lies with the transition, so it’s great if you can create this wide width of arc for the backswing. But it’s how your transition in the downswing. I’d recommended taking a look at todays video which will be posted at 6pm GMT!

The distinction between pronation, a forearm move, and internal rotation, an upper arm rotation, doesn't seem to get much love. Been pondering this enough lately that I finally broke down and found a 15 second video showing how the two forearm bones interact for that pronation move. Wasn't exactly what I had imagined - *if* I ever actually *had* imagined it. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/bJ17eI2lmrCrp4k.html Looks like that thumb-side bone (radius) is doing most all of the moving. Interestingly, while the forearm can rotate the palm about 180°, the upper arm rotation can add another 90° or so. Also interesting is that the upper arm (internal rotation) can't add that additional rotation as long as the elbow is bent and the forearm is facing the belly or spine, say. When I *don't* keep that elbow in such a position is when I have the big miss left. Been wondering if making this distinction could help clear up what seems to me to be maybe some controversy about what happens with the "release". My current "feel" is that I can pronate all I want (and generate more clubhead speed) as long as I hold off that internal shoulder rotation long enough - a work in progress. 🙂

@@mntlblok okay, to be honest you are to deep down the rabit hole now if you are over 5 handicap..

Hi Robin, thanks for commenting with your question, good question this is, so when you make an attempt to get the palm to face the grip (before gripping the club) as long as your trail elbow continues to point/ face towards the body. Then you're good to go, if you're needing more info on this feel free to reach out via my website. @Robin-Cj

Interesting concept and, a very in-depth explanation, thanks for this. How's your golf going? @mntlblok

@@harryshawgolf well only way to do that is to rotate the forearm, and keep upper arm in place, there is no rotating part between the hand and forearm. And you said in your video to rotate the hand without rotating the forearm. Only way to do that is to rotate the upper arm from the shoulder socket so the elbow starts to point away from target. And this is clearly not what you ment 😊

Thanks for letting me know, always looking for other and better methods of coaching, how are you getting on from using this drill?

Hi thanks for commenting, I was there filming I think for around 20-30 minutes. How’s your golf going?

Hi John, thanks for commenting, what did you find confusing, i'll be able to help you understand this.

Hi Eddie, whenever i 'repeat myself' i'm just making sure that my subscribers fully understand the concept i'm teaching. I take it you've managed to understand fairly quickly what i'm teaching in the video? Thats good, have you given this a go at the driving range?

Thank you very much!!!
