- This video will teach you how to simplify down the golf swing by having a centred pivot. I progress up the body and focus on 3 keys to perfect your pivot and get you into an amazing top of the backswing position.
A centred pivot in the backswing allows your body to be in the correct position to make you have an effortless downswing. When amateurs shift or sway in the backswing they are creating far too much work for themselves to do in the downswing.
In this video I progress up the body and focus on 3 keys to perfect your pivot and get you into an amazing top of the backswing position.
The 3 keys in the video is focusing on the pressure and weight in your feet. How the pelvis works and rotates in the backswing. Finally i go into something that isn't talked about enough and that is thoracic extension. All 3 of these will make getting into a centred pivot easy. This will allow you to effortlessly shift into your lead side in the downswing which will allow you to generate that ball then ground contact.

Some downswing rotation videos would be great
@@harryhall3469 100% I can do that!
That will pretty much solve my Transition and Tempo requests!!!😊
@@marcmanion4264 great! I’ll add it too the list
Just to make it clear to me, the thoracic extension occurs in the backswing?
Turn in a barrel, rotate, turn, all just empty words! finally a comprehensive example of what takes place!!
And once again, it’s Giles that puts it simply completely!!
Well done !
Great analogy but you need to know the details like you say! Glad it helped!
I started doing the 60/40 on the lead leg 2 years ago. Works like a charm.
Combine that with my 2 favorite swing drills that has done wonders for my ball striking:
The split hand grip drill. This drill is great for back swing and down swing feels. Also swing path feels.
The swing fast and stop hard drill. The best impact and post impact drill out there.
You have to work at these drills and keep working at them. No secret there. What you put in is what you get out.
Exactly that! Find the drills that work for you and your swing. Then it’s about the consistency
An extremely clear and precise explanation and demonstration of issues I've had for years. A great help. Thank you. Well done.
You're very welcome!
Another brilliantly simple, and useful video Giles.
Thank you
Thank you Shaun! Glad you liked it
Brilliant lesson and well explained. I watch hundreds of videos a week but this one was practical and simple to understand. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
For me your lesson here is the clearest and most concise explanation of the critical elements of the golf swing execution. Thanks!
Thank you Kwan! Great to hear you enjoyed it & I hope this helps
Having been a scratch golfer 30 years ago I got away from the game and couldn't find my way back until now. You breakdown the golf swing in such a way it was a no brainer for me to follow. I'm now 72 years old and shot my age after two rounds with my new swing. Keep up the great work.
That amazing that you shot your age!! Glad you’re enjoying the content and playing some good golf
I too was a scratch golfer and lost my game at 63. I'm 71 looking forward lowering my 10 hp now.
Masterclass instruction! Just really good stuff. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Today is my birthday, nice present from you, thanks. This detail the thorax extension is the gift. Thanks. I discovered your site 2 to 3 weeks ago. Tanks for your complete and excellent video lessons.
Happy birthday! Glad you’re enjoying the content!
After having a few years away from golf, I found this lesson really helpful coming back to my swing! I'll definitely give this a go when I get on the range ^-^
Awesome video! 🤩
Great to hear you’re back! Hope this helps!
Great video again! Amazing work
Glad you enjoyed it!
This video really resonated with me, thanks for posting.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for very userfull information, especially when the feel of keeping pressure on lead leg in turn
Glad you enjoyed it! Using the feet is a crucial key to a centred pivot
Thank you very much, because everybody and every coach talk about the perfect backswing but never about the distribution of pressure on the both feet, which is essential !!
Golf is a golf of legs..Thank you again and I am going to follow yours videos.
Thank you & exactly that! Glad you enjoyed the video
Very useful and helpful. Very much in line with Stack and Tilt method/system.
I don’t teach stake and tilt but I have multiple methods
Never heard about "thoracic extension" but it makes sense, and you explained it well. I'm going to try and incorporate that into the swing.
Such a key part of the swing so would love to hear how it goes
Another super tip, I am hooked and checking out your other videos as you make good sense by using drills to supplement so we see that indeed get the foundation solid before you start looking at other suspect areas. Thanks again
Thank you! Great to hear you’re enjoying the videos!
Excellent video. I keep my weight 60 40 on the left side and thought that I was "old school". Thanks for the validation.
The thoracic extension segment was a "wow" moment.
All the force plate date shows it to be true so don’t worry about it being old school. Plus golf is kind of reverting back to the old school way. Great to hear it was a WOW moment!
wow, great way of explaining this. i felt like i had to teach myself this because no golf teacher had ever explained this to me in any of the lessons i had.
You're very welcome! Sorry to hear no one taught you this but now you can crack on fixing it!
Brilliant golf educational video... This video has made of fundamental improvements to my overall swing.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Giles - great explanation of the process of swinging the club! Love the simplicity and the way you communicate it to us! Keen to see/hear your explanation of transition and also the tempo necessary to allow a relaxed but compressed shot!!
Thank you Marc! I have LOADS of transition and downswing videos planned so stay tuned 😁
Golf can be such a simple process when the movements are put in context and when a swing thought gells in your mind! What we don’t need are single shots of a video saying “here is Mr Hogan’s secret move” etc!!!!
@@marcmanion4264 exactly it’s about having a clear understanding of what you’re trying to achieve and sequencing your body in the right order
Brilliant video. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
This is one of the best golf instruction I have ever seen.... congratulation
Thank you!
Ooh yeah. Thanks!!! Missing the thoracic extension!! Crushed the ball. Went from 117 yd carry PW to 130-135 carry! Nice. Also important to get the 3-6" inch forward pelvis motion to ensure ball then turf contact!
The numbers don’t lie! Amazing work Nicholas!
Re-watching this tonight has got me itching to get back to the practice ground and on course. This really could be a "Eureka Moment". 😁
Amazing! Hope this is your golden ticket move!
Fantastic information. Well explained
Thank you David! Glad you liked it
Awesome video with spot on explanations. Well done, Giles.
Thank you Dave
Awesome drills you demonstrated here!
Glad you like them!
I always was taught about 50/50 weight distribution on my golf stance. I could never get enough compression and found my self swaying. I have started this 60/40 last week on the range and my strikes felt amazing!! Thank you!
You’re welcome and I’m glad it transformed your ball striking!
Totally changed my swing for the better and have given the tip to others who have found it incredibly helpful and have called it the " (my name) Twist"! So I couldn't take all the credit and have sent them the link to this video. They are loving it too!
That’s amazing! Great to hear it’s helping lots of you!
Sergio like. Been playing well lately just added the missing distance piece. Biomechanics simply explained. Thank you.
No problem Nicholas! Hope this is the missing piece. Keep up the great playing
Man you really have the best info on CZcams! Everytime I watch one of your videos I’m amazed how great it is! Just wish I had the $$$ to pay for private lessons! Ever run any discounts?? Great work man
Thank you Chris! Unfortunately my diary is chocker so I don’t run any discounts. Not to say I won’t in the future
This is brilliant! Thanks Giles.
Thank you! Glad you liked it
That thoracic extension was the best part of this video…
Glad you think so Ron! It’s a massive part!
100%. Adds so much speed/distance.
Never seen it on any other video :)
@@leer798 glad I could be the first!
Excellent stuff, G3! I am 68 years old, and have been hitting behind the golf ball my whole golfing life. No one - pros, scratch golfers, friends, NO ONE has explained it like this! I've paid thousands of dollars for lessons and training aids - still beating balls, posting up on my right side, and hoping for better results - I think I've now got some hope. I'll be at the range later today, hopefully, and work towards this - it IS a paradigm shift from everything I've learned! I'm in! Other tips? What else you got?!? What else is there in golf?
Wow! Firstly thank you for the comment! I hope this video helps as this sounds to be a real struggle for you. Let me know how it goes
Interesting parallel - also 68 and that’s been my problem, for the 2.7 years I’ve tried to play. I hit on part of this by random chance playing this week - the keeping weight on the left during backswing - but didn’t realize what was actually happening so didn’t capture it into a habit. I expect your third point is part of the rest of the solution, and will see what I can do with that next range session. Thanks!
@@johnsadler8637 let me know how it goes
@@Gilesgillgolf well, a quick mat and range session in the garage was positive. I worked on the thoracic extension a bit - I think I was keeping my head down at address to keep my sight line above the bifocal line, and when I turned, it took my head to the trail side. That may be a challenge that might not be easily solved without a distance monofocal lens. However I was able with a little straining to keep the left eye on the ball and not involve the bifocal line (if I cross that, I’m hitting the ball on faith alone!). That and staying conscious of the left leg weight made it easier to scuff the mat in front on practice swings. I tape my club face to see contact, and I put a microfiber washcloth on the mat about an inch behind the ball and step on it to seat into the mat (if I don’t, the wind moves the cloth). Out of 15-20 balls, only one hit in the washcloth enough to pull it any, and one other caught the edge and wrinkled it a bit. So my % fat shots was down. I had several (5-7) shots on the blade edge or just first groove, but the rest were about right. It’s promising. Thanks for the video and explanation!
Sounds like you’re progressing! Hope this helps long run!
Bob from Australia great video learnt a lot
Amazing Bob! Great to hear it helped
very helpful video! Can you please do a video on eye dominance and how it impacts your set up? At the end of this video you mention keeping your left eye above the ball. I am right handed and right eye dominant, which causes some issues. I have to tilt my head to look towards the target to keep the ball in view of my dominant eye. I'd be curious what your input to this common issue is. Thanks!
Sure I’ll add that to the list 👍🏻
1 minite in and I'm subbed. Thanks for keeping it simple
Thank you Murphy
This is exceptionally good instruction G3 ! 😎
Thank you Dylan!
You will never believe how much I needed this vlog! Thank you very much 🙏
You are so welcome! Glad I could help mate
Also I need help with a chicken wing, if you can help?
@@spodbw1 I have a big video on it that I posted about 2 weeks ago. Have a watch and let me know if it helps
@Giles Gill Golf will do cheers mate 👍
@@spodbw1 Great let me know if it makes sense
Excellent presentation on the pivot
Thank you!
Excellent video lesson
Thank you Khaleel! Glad you liked it!
Very well explained and easy to understand. Im now a subscriber, keep up the great videos
Thank you Gordon! And great to hear you subscribed!
Great video, as usual. Very Stack & Tilty… which is a good thing! Nice drills
Definitely more along the stack and tilt route but for a lot of golfers that will be ideal
Sergio is not stack & tilt but is an exceptional athlete that would be closer to stack and tilt than most would imagine.
@@nicholasdemetriades9154 he just pivots well
May be your best instruction on how to rotate in the backswing… starting viewing your instructional videos appropriately six weeks ago and I have found each to be excellent…I am an 8 handicap golfer and have reviewed hundreds of instructional videos on you tube to evaluate how they could be utilized by the everyday golfer…While I found have many to very good I would have to say your instruction would be above the rest in understanding and applying your instructions….
Thank you so much! Means a lot to hear such positive feedback
Very helpful
Glad you think so! Hope it helps
Really good. Great insight. Enjoyed - and am trying to learn - from this and your other long game videos. Love the way you back it up with detail. I would also love to see something about the motion of chipping / short game. Body driven verses arms - wrist release - extension of body - maybe a couple of different approaches? I can't seem to find a chipping method I can go to - and I'm talking really simple, basic chips. It does make playing golf a bit awkward... Thanks!
Already have chipping/pitching videos. Be sure to check them out
Wow great lesson 👍
Thank you!
Very good lesson for someone like me who has swayed off the ball for 30 years!
Thank you! Hope it helps cure your sway
Great info and it sounds like the Stack and Tilt method….Thanks
Not stack and tilt. Just a centred pivot
Very nice lesson thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great instructor.
Thank you!
Thanks for posting
No problem!
This is an excellent video on weight distribution during the turn.
Get this right and you're going to have a nice swing.
Exactly! Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Gilesgillgolf Before CZcams became the thing, golf instruction was a hit or miss proposition.
Unfortunately, I got some iffy instructions that stayed part of my swing for years.
Gave it up 15 years ago but the desire to learn a proper swing never left.
@@Rick9482 unfortunately it’s still the case but hopefully we can change that with videos like this
Good stuff
Thank you!
Something I have been working on a for a little while although I thought I was doing it wrong!! When I had golf lessons 40 years ago there was talk of transfer of weight to the right foot then the left and this would have been described as a reverse pivot.
However, this makes perfect sense to me based on what I have been feeling so now will go and practice with some more confidence!!!!
Glad I could help you get your confidence back! Keep me posted on how it goes
@@Gilesgillgolf well on the 'hole' very good - and played pretty good.
I had to get off the range mats and onto the grass and then course. 2 over through 9 with one mulligan so 4 over really.
Another thing I have added into the equation was really slowing down my back swing or the transition. I fatted a couple but generally ball striking was solid...
@@rosbifsa660 sounds like you’re trending in the right direction!
Love it
Thank you!
Simple and easy video tips
Glad you enjoyed it!
When I first watched your video, it seemed that your explanation of what thoracic extension was (at 5.55) would lead to a reduction in ‘forward’ tilt (i.e. the tilt forward at the hips you start off with at address). However, in trying it, it seems that ‘sideways’ tilt remains (inclination of the hips and shoulders toward the ground at the top of the backswing) but I need to work on my flexibilty! Thanks great video.
Exactly! You’ll be able to maintain tilts and be in a great position
I've been working on this very thing for the past year. It has taken a while to get this swing change permanent, but my handicap is now the lowest ever. I'm 70 years old and my striking is more consistent than ever.
That’s amazing to hear! Incredible work JD and good luck
Gankas, explained differently. It works. Cheers.
Glad it helped
Thanks for shaving strokes off of my swing. Keep those videos coming!
You bet! Thank you so much Frankie!
Been using the shadow drill for 15+ years really good one
It’s a great one if you have sun unlike England 😂
@@Gilesgillgolf works really well for putting too
@@ryajsmit yes 100%
This is stack and tilt and it is great.
Just a centred pivot but it is great
Thank you for a great video, I have started doing it and find it easier to get onto left side which I struggle to get to I am a 71 yr. Lady with a 16;handicap. Just wondering how the arms start down, left arm first or both together. ?
Great to hear this helps! Watch my biggest viewed video. It’ll show you exactly how to move your arms in the downswing
Great video I'm working on these areas. Any thoughts or videos about making sure your weight or lead side gets infront of the ball. I find I don't get forward enough. Any drills. Thanks
I’ve done videos in the past in weight shift so look up the basket drill
Yes. Practice in slow motion. Be patient in transition! Setup with55%-60% on lead side. Left hip goes down right hip goes up on way back. Let your lower body lead by 3-6 inches forward of where it was at address! Then turn. Of course the forward and turn are happening simultaneously at full speed but you need to slow it down at first. I practice this with a lacrosse ball and my 8 iron. Yeah its pretty heavy but will ingrain the feeling of lower body leading or you will injure yourself!!!
@@nicholasdemetriades9154 exactly that!
Perfect ! Everyone Subscribe to this channel. Finally an instructor reveals this centered pivot and thoracic extension. This! Is the way you get a Good Golf Swing !!
Thanks
Wow, thanks! Great to hear you enjoyed the video!
I find that playing with the hands very forward with 80-20 stance tend to eliminate the counter fall backwards of the right side.. Need to open the shoulders though.
If it works then do it 👍🏻
Yes, when I was taught the golf swing they said load on right, and don't reverse pivot. This looks like a reverse pivot(?). I did try this, and it worked!! :) Why is this not considered a reverse pivot, or is it? Thanks for this amazing tip!
Great question. A reverse pivot is where the pelvis is positioned further away from the target than the pelvis. This move is keeping a subtle bit of spine tilt away from the target whist also ensuring things are stacked
Thank you. The hard part seems to be is on the backswing, the lead hip comes back towards the ball quite a bit, so how do we get it back open on the downswing so quickly? Do we put pressure on the lead toes, ball or heel of the lead foot?
Pressure goes to the ball of the lead foot in backswing, then you push into the lead foot as you finish the backswing and start the transition. After that you push out of the ground and get the rotation part from there
Danny Maude gave this tip a while back, it is a good one.
He’s a great coach!
Hi Giles, I think this video is very helpful. Thank you. One question ... What is triggering your hip turn on the downswing? I seem to get stuck and not turn all the way. Thanks again
Are you asking what the real reason is or what I feel because feel vs real are different
@@Gilesgillgolf Hi, real movement. Thanks
@@jeffmiller1387 check out my rotation and footwork videos then
Giles, can accomplish this also by feeling that my sternum rotates inside the right foot? Thanks.
As long as you control your pelvis movement yes
As usual Great Instruction. Question: when we have draw biased pattern then having club path to left by practicing this can't develop? By maintaining that pattern.
Or the fix is changing and neutralizing the pattern is key.
And can have both curves easier.
Are you talking about how tilts and thoracic extensions can affect the path?
@@Gilesgillgolf you can say, but just in general draw biased like club path in to out pattern and then just practicing more fades (skill based) can do good?
Or neutralizing club path will help in both curves?
@@nomanishfaq9011 the general rule is the more forward bend you have the more in to out your path will be. Flip it over for a fade
I had to come back the day after playing my best round and comment again letting you know these were some of the best tips to be conscious of during the swing. I'm talking 8 strokes lower than my average score (I have a GHIN HC and have played 39 rounds this year so I know my stats). Not gonna lie, felt a little weird but after doing it wrong for so long, of course it's going to feel weird. The biggest change was your thoracic extension tip at 5:56. I was so focused on "loading the left side" and could never figure out how to get back to the left side effortlessly. Sorry for the long comment but hoping the YT algorithms get you more views. Going out again today and will report back.
Thank you for the comment Frankie! It’s hard sometimes to know if the videos are helping people but this made my day so thank you! Great to hear you’re taking your game to a new level!
gg, great vid and info. What will cause a person to overdo and then reverse pivot their upper body towards the target. Hi h we don’t want.
Thank you! Two ways that can happen. Most common way would be the pelvis moves laterally away from the target creating the reverse pivot or the second way is too much thoracic extension which is rare to see
This looks very similar to the stack & tilt method. What change if any do you make for hitting the driver?
It’s just a centred pivot and nothing to do with stack and tilt. It’s controlling the pressure in the feet and the body. It’s similar but not identical with driver
Is there a connection to what you are teaching here and the Stack and Tilt idea of weight forward?
This is a bit more down the stack and tilt line but to be honest a lot of methods now are based around this
Can’t think of another piece of advise promoted by teachers over the decades that has caused more damage, bad golf, and overall cursing, then the promoted weight shift. Don’t want to reverse pivot do you? No, I would rather continue playing crappy golf for 20 plus years.
Are you agreeing or disagreeing with the video??
Thank-you! I have been fixated on trying to transfer weight to my trail side on the backswing then to the lead side on the downswing for all my years of playing golf. I started recently watching your instructional videos and questioned how much pressure was moving to your trail side? It seemed to me that you were emphasizing pivot to increase depth and not mentioning or demonstrating any weight transfer. I am excited to begin practicing simply pivoting, without worrying about moving weight to my trail side, then attempting to swing to a fully extended finish…
Be sure to watch my footwork video for the backswing
Can you provide a link to this foot work video?
@@michaelgoodhand it was posted on Sunday so go into my most recent videos
think of how you would swing a lighter kettlebell back and forth. You'd stay fairly centered, but the loading would precede the weight coming back at that leg. So loading is more about force down than shifting the center mass.
Shifting a kettle bell is about weight shift not loading. Loading is all about applied force on the golf club and wrist mechanics
Do you put that same pressure in the left foot if you're using a driver? Is putting pressure into the left side the same as putting more weight in the left side at address? Wouldn't that lead you to hit down on the ball with a driver?
Driver you’ll be 50/50 and no because right side bend and a good swing plane helps you hit up
I know the internet has been waiting for my update so let's get right to it.
Shot 4 strokes lower than my 2023 average. Would have been even lower if not for two blow up holes (it wasn't the beers, I promise). I had way fewer misses to the left due to my old coming over the top and the face closing at impact (had a couple but old habits die hard). You have a new fan from Dallas but if I ever find myself outside of London, I'll look you up.
Wow thank you Frankie!! Means a lot to hear that. Dallas is somewhere I’m potentially looking to move to so keep on eye out in the next year
@@Gilesgillgolf I looked up your bio and saw you were at Texas State so I guess that makes you an honorary Texan. Tons of golf courses in north Texas that would welcome a pro like yourself.
@@TerdFerguson exactly that! Loved it there. Just got to get the visa and I’ll become a proper Texan
great.転臀上桿，可能真的比転肩上桿好易上多。
Thank you!
Giles what do you recommend for the driver? Similar 55 or 60% on lead leg?
Depends on the player but anywhere from 60% to 50% on the lead leg is okay
What is the difference in what you teach and stack and tilt?
I don’t teach stack and tilt. I take concepts from all concepts and blend them to what I believe will suit different clients. There is no one size fits all in this game
Every time I see one of your videos I have to laugh . How are you so knowledgeable at your age . Your talking your own language. Secret after secret , absolutely top man.
Wow, thank you! Been lucky enough to experience a lot of the game and learn from some great people
@@Gilesgillgolf credit where it’s due . There are lots on CZcams now even pga winners . your the visionary one that notices subtle movements that make the game more enjoyable for the average golfer. This game the better you get the more fun it is so appreciate all your work . Hope the numbers keep stacking up for you 🏌️♀️⛳️
@@paulwelsh9325 thank you Paul! It’s a hard game but let’s keep the enjoyment going
I don't comment much but brilliant video
Thank you Garry!
Looked good, sounded a bit thin 🤣🤣👍
All my swing are first take so yes was a little thin 😂
I thought on backswing, all weight should move to backfoot to generate power?, even as far as slight lift on front foot. This sems to work for me, am I doing something wrong here ?
Don’t get mixed up with pressure and weight. I did a video about a week ago on this so check it out
And driver same routine but all action occurs behind the ball rather than over the ball ?
Precisely that!
Great drill. But I get stuck on top of the backswing. Don,t know how to get down and through
Watch my latest video 👍🏻
I’ve been doing really well recently but yesterday the shank returned, will these drills help??
Depends what’s causing your shanks. Watch the last video I posted as that’s on the shanks
Shanks. Sharks. Very scary until you understand them. #1. Do not open the clubface on the takeaway. #2 do not keep the left arm suck in to the chest! #3 Must be loose in the shoulders and arms! #4. Think target more than anything else!#5 release the entire body post impact. #6. Do not cup the wrist at the top unless you have the tempo of Fred Couples. Yes I have encountered the S.H.A.N.K.S!
@@nicholasdemetriades9154 eh yeah I’d agree with them but shanks boil down to a few simple categories and are simple to fix. Check out my shank video
@@nicholasdemetriades9154 I’ve found from watching myself I was cupping the wrist, I’m now in a mission to reinvent my swing thanks for your support and advice
Great to hear you’re on the right path
Stack&Tilt Swing it is, like it, do it myself! 😅
Hope it works
Thanks Giles. 6.3 index here. My only concern with this is that I tend to sway my head back to the target if I leave weight on the front foot, and also, my head tends to drop quite a lot. Any thoughts?
Either the pelvis rocks away from the target or you are going into too much thoracic extension
@@Gilesgillgolf Probably a little bit of both. Do you have any videos on how to stabilize the pelvis?
@@edwardsroba in what sense. The setup, backswing or downswing?
@@Gilesgillgolf I guess setup and backswing
@@edwardsroba this will help you with backswing but check out my posture video for setup
Is this the stack and Tilt swing?
No it’s just classed as having a centred pivot
I think that plenty of older golfers like me who have been low markers get into bad rotation/pivot habits due to a bad back. Loved you hands down the sides drill, it solved contact problems but it hurts.
Make sure your posture is correct. I’ve done some videos on it but the number cause of back pain in the golf swing is a poor posture at address
@@Gilesgillgolf I agree but I'm pushing 70 and 50 plus years of golf which is an unnatural move coupled with just living, equals a bad back. You've got it ahead of you young man. But keep up the lessons, great fundamentals and drills.
@@archietravers5697 yes golf definitely does take its toll on the body. I definitely will keep posting the videos. Have you seen my seniors guide to the golf swing? Really detailed video from setup to follow through on how to build a swing
edging onto the stack and tilt?
Just a centred pivot
Hi Giles how does this work with the driver as you hit up not down
Exactly the same. Right bend gets add in the downswing aiding a positive angle of attack
@@Gilesgillgolf thank you
@@davidwebster4111 no problem!
Getting some S&T vibes.
You can say that but there’s nothing wrong with a simple pivot motion
