I tried this to get rid of my shanks and it worked! My shoulder turn was level but I wasn't lifting up. This made my swing very in to out. By getting my shoulder moving down on the backswing it straightened out my swing path. Strikes and direction improved and no more shanks. Thanks coach.

Great stuff Coach. I’m a scratch player but very streaky and could never figure out why. All my coaches have focused on the hip clearing or right shoulder under left rather than this simple idea of lowering lead shoulder left on downswing. Creates a lovely punch flight with compression.

Great stuff coach I’m all three at times & way over top on downswing

Working on better shoulder turn on down swing. Yes please.

I did not know your site. I love the way you teach ,clear and precise with details that make a real difference. I ‘’ go and watch your other videos and want to thank you for allowing us to progress.

Thank you so much! That’s very kind of you and make me proud to hear that my lessons are helping golfers 🏌️‍♂️

Very well done, simple and concise. My issue is my lower back can only do so much. Would love a video on how to play with limited motion. I see all these videos with Nelly Korda but I am not a 24 year old girl so I can’t replicate her swing. Love the channel coach!

Brilliant!!!!! Huge help

Yep, I see several versions of my "technique" here. Taking two good tips from this. Will help eliminate a couple dumb swing thoughts I've tried that really seem to just confuse me. Thank you, sir!

Thanks Lockey. So clearly explained. Half of 3 . . . My natural tendency is to sway to the right, which I focus on avoiding. Oherwise my backswing is ok, but I have to think about breaking an old habit of starting my downswing with my trail shoulder, which levels them out and ruins my path. I can do it correctly, but I think this might be a better way to get the right feeling, so off to the range! 👍🏻

Nice… Good breakdown Coach! I’m probably one of those who have moved the shoulders up every so often. This imagery is helpful to me just to understand that movement of the lead shoulder as I unload and pivot with that lead leg.

Great video! First time viewer to your channel. Yes, I hit the subscribe button 😊. After watching this video I watched the handshake video. It's the perfect segue to this video IMO. If you really extend your hand it automatically engages the left obliques and starts pinching your left bicep to your left peck. The left knee bends and it gets you loaded onto your right side. I suggest standing in front of a mirror with your left shoulder just even with the left edge. When you do either of the drills, you can see the proper movement. Sorry to be so wordy but I think it can help others like myself. Thanks again.

Finally a solution to my golf swing problems. Tqvm

Would love to see more detail on how to get the lead shoulder moving down at the beginning of downswing.

That’s a brilliant very helpful video. A video on that last tip too please 😂. When I swing shit I do those faults.

thanks matt

Great video and very helpful visual of the shoulder movement. I would love to know if the lead shoulder path is different with driver vs. Iron.

I actually had this takeaway from your pitching lesson you posted, instead focusing on squatting it's easier to focus on the shoulder since it is part of your upper body, if that makes sense.

I have been following you and find I can do good shoulder turn with much straighter results. thanks. but not the distance as the follow through is not being completed as I loss balance any help gratefully received.

I like that Coach. With it being my 70th birthday next year I'm not as bendy as I once was. I've always felt my shoulders don't turn as much as they should. Probably because I was trying incorrectly. Range day tomorrow, I'll give it a go 👍

This is a great video for an iron. Can you do the same video for the driver so I can see the difference. Thanks!

All goood stuff, lot easier said than done 😁

I mostly have my chin inside left shoulder with shoulder lined up with my left knee and foot.

Just found your channel. Some great pointers. That's me, flat shoulder turn.

I'm definitely number 2. Very little hip turn and I have a problem getting the feeling of my left shoulder moving down on the downswing.

I am number 2. I have had a bad shoulder lift up at the top of my backswing for years. How do I fix this? Club across my shoulders drill does not work for me. Hopefully you can help!

This is something I struggle with Mattt, I tend to turn my shoulders level on the way back at times and that's when I don't play very good

Just found your channel. Excellent information and clear communication. Coach, since this lesson is geared for an iron swing, would the lead shoulder STILL moves down toward the left foot on the downswing for the DRIVER? since the set up is different for the driver. Thank you for your wonderful coaching.

Same feels and movement. Bigger move down if you want more speed 💪

Great for low point consistency

That trace is very useful. The golfer has to trace the mirror image of it.

yep definitely guilty of 1 and 3. great tips

Hi Coach. My club always exits at about my shoulder level. Yours seems to exit much lower. Is this caused by my shoulder rising instead of lowering in the downswing? Thanks. Ralph G.

@CoachLockey

I would like mine higher but I have super quick hips which effects my hand path. I would stick with what you got unless you struggle with heel strikes a lot.

Thanks. I have always struggled with heal strikes. So, how do I get. my hands to exit lower. Thanks. Ralph G.

Thanks for the quick response on my heel shots. Makes perfect sense especially since I rarely take a divot also. I will give it a try. Thanks again. Ralph G.

Hi, I am confused with this video. I too have incorrect shoulder rotation and think my instinct is to try get the right shoulder coming downwards on the way back to the ball. I can't see how I get the left shoulder down. Is it trying to move the right shoulder down that pushes you into the left foot or a squating motion that brings the left shoulder down, what is the correct sequence?

Lower your lead shoulder, hands come away from the body and watch it fly off the hosel. Now you get to watch another video on how to stop the shanks 👌

I see the lockey army has been watching dad's army!

Your shoulder is going where your sternum is going, this would be a better focal point for moving the shoulder. The shoulder has some wiggle room in regard to the torso and people can try to jerk shoulders around which does not seem very helpful.

When you squat down does this change the low point of your swing

@CoachLockey

8 ай бұрын

It will change the high and low of your swing arc, which will influence low point. So when and how you push back up after the squat will depend on where you contact the ground. If you see a particular pattern which isn’t a good strike, fats/thins, move ball position to accommodate 👍

I do 2 and 3. Not ideal.

I’m number three

Armyyyyy

I am more of number 3 case

This is THE secret move.

Thanks coach, will try this down the driving range. Well explained, even a muppet like me can understand this.

I don't want you showing us all the stuff we don't want to see. Just show what you consider what we should be seeing.
