DO NOT TURN YOUR SHOULDERS: Golf Swing MISTAKE

Here’s a summary of the YouTube video on improving your golf swing by avoiding flat shoulder turns:

Key Concept: Stop Turning Your Shoulders Flat

  • Many golfers struggle with maintaining proper posture and creating separation between the upper and lower body during the swing.
  • The Goal: Achieve a better turn by focusing on loading the body and creating separation, known as the “X-Factor Stretch”, which generates more power.

Common Mistakes:

  1. Losing Posture: Standing up during the backswing reduces power.
  2. Lack of Separation: Moving the upper and lower body together limits rotation and torque.

The Correct Technique:

  • Step 1: Setup Drill
    • Hold the club in your left hand, place your right hand on your left shoulder.
    • Tilt your left shoulder down slightly—this tilt is key.
    • Imagine pulling a lawnmower string behind you to create resistance and tension.
  • Step 2: Create Separation
    • Focus on rotating your shoulders more than your hips.
    • This motion builds tension in your core and side muscles, essential for power.
  • Step 3: Downswing Basics
    • Introduce a slight right bend while rotating through impact.
    • Drive your left pocket around and feel the right shoulder pointing towards the target for a complete follow-through.

What to Feel:

  • Tension: A stretch along your side, almost straining your voice when done correctly.
  • Core Engagement: Noticeable tightness in your core muscles.

Training Tips:

  • Treat this as a practice drill, not something to overemphasize on the course.
  • Perform 2-3 reps, then hit balls to integrate the feel into your swing naturally.

Final Thoughts:

  • Focus on tilt and turn, not just turning flatly.
  • Creating separation improves both power and control in your swing.
