- In this video, Steve shows you how to get the body turning on the correct plane so that the club shaft and clubhead can more naturally follow.
Once you master these movements your golf swing will become more consistent and you will hit longer and straighter shots with more clubhead speed.

Steve, I think I made another comment earlier. I've definitely been a merry go round swinger all my life. I incorporated your teaching of this video and I can't believe the change it's made in my swing for the good. It's been dramatic. Also, honestly, you said it would be difficult for someone to change, I found it to be quite easy.
Also, after watching your video, I went to other teachers on youtube that talk about the hip/shoulder turn. I was surprised that none of them talked about it the way you did. I'm lucky to have stumbled upon your teaching. Thanks bunches.
One other aside from learning this swing technique, I have found I'm much more consistent in my ball striking and the ball goes where I intend.
Great! Cheers Michael!
Steve, a friend did a quick video of my swing. I re-visited this video. I am a leftie and you are right on the money pushing out to the left and the dreaded duck hook. I felt your stare when you were saying who you were looking at. i watched this before but this time i paid real close attention, picked up a club an followed along. I don't need you calling me out like that in the future.
Ha wasn't you Ramesh!
Thank you Steve. This really help. Wonderful explanation of the correct posture to swing the club on the right swing plane..
Glad it helped.
I think this just explained why l’ve had problems taking a divot and why my woods don’t have any consistancy. This was the best explaination of the proper shoulder turn that i’ve seen anywhere.
Another indicator to the proper tilt you defined is that your posture at-or-just-before contact retains that tilt. My posture at contact WAS square-ish which exposed a ton of issues - just one being early extension. Another great vid. Thanks Steve.
This video, along with other your recent ones (like Tilt the Shoulders - Set the Swing Plane! July 9) really helped me today!!!!!! I finally pounded the driver straight with a slight draw and out drove one of my good golf buddies several times. It's been a while since I hit it past him a few times in a round. Actually I hit all my shots better after finally beginning to understand how to create and maintain the proper plane... Thanks Steve!!!!
Fantastic Bob! Thanks so much for the update and CHEERS!
I love it, you change the wheel from around to perpendicular to up
Agoura Hills , nice. I live on the coast in Yamba , Australia. One of our beaches here is named Angourie(similar) Aboriginal for tail feather of a seagull.
I have watched this video 10+ times since last night....early extension is my issue and I’m confident this is gonna help me tremendously....about to go hit balls into my net to practice
Good video Steve. I struggled for the last few years after zeroing in on the 4 to 10 hips move mentioned in Dunaway's video. That gave me a big lateral shift, but the turn part of the pivot only happened after impact, meaning my hips faced the ball at impact. Couldn't get the turn going to assist in powering the swing. And it was next to impossible to keep head back behind the ball at impact what with the big slide. Accidentally turned on CZcams yesterday and saw an old Shauger video where he actually explained the shift-turn as "in order to plant the left heel, pull the left knee back, while swinging the right hip and knee around the left post." I realized that this explanation solved my problem: it cleared the left hip, kept the left butt cheek on the chair,AND provided the shift without the big slide. I must be a little slow, because prior to this I would shift left onto the left FOOT, but not the left heel, by pressuring the left foot with the big slide (it had to be a big slide just to get over that far without the turn. Now, pulling the left knee back provides the turn that allows posting on the left leg with much less lateral move. So I was not early extending, but WAS laterally sliding, and not turning. I've played golf a long time doing this incorrectly, and just now finally learned how to turn (i think I'm retarded). I finally recognize what " lift the left heel, plant the right heel / then plant the left heel, lift the right heel" actually means.
This worked great for me. Thank you!
You have just illustrated my history of bad golf swings and faults. I started learning the Austin-Pratt method 3 months ago and longer, straighter shots are result. Shooting 68 to 75 with regularity.
Wow!
This is great! Got my driver swing uploaded as proof. Thanks Mr. Pratt!
Thank you. The ferris wheel thought was the key. I finally have a nice angle at the top of my back swing after struggling with this for more than 20 years. Incredible.
Cheers John!
I believe you could say it's more of a tilt a whirl instead of a merry go round or a ferris wheel. I'm really glad I came across your instruction. It's makes a lot of sense. Thank you !
Yes I remember that ride at the faire!
Thank you again Steve. That 8 o'clock left hip move really got my attention. Even though I tilt my left shoulder fairly steeply down to avoid swaying I can see now that my hips were too flat. Usually hit irons pretty well but struggled with woods. Thank you very much for the e-book.
I have been following you and the other Mike Austin instructor. This video on a flat turn plane is me to a T. Somehow I manage to play to a low single handicap due to my short game. I have never! Been a good striker of the ball. I am looking forward to putting this and other key points I have learned from you Steve.
Hey just start small. Lots of wedge pitches.
Thanks for this timely video. I was working with my coach just the other day on this swing change. This reinforces his explanation and guidance. Cheers!
Hi Steve this has been great for me had this problem all my life ,problem is I do go back to it every now and again 🤷♂️
Played last weekend after only a few weeks of discovering your channel and the MA swing. I was very encouraged by incorporating this method into my swing. I'm still a long was away but after playing golf for 9 years, I can actually see progress and pure golf shots. The hard part for me is my plane still looks a bit steep on the downswing even if the ball goes straight.
You mean the shaft looks steep?
@@Inmotion70 Yes shaft, sorry.
Really like your videos...seems like your always referring to my golf swing when discussing swing faults, but I am getting better thanks to your instruction .
That's great! And thanks so much for watching. Cheers!
Thanks for the video. This is first time I’ve heard to limit hip turn to get on plane. I have really struggled to get right hip in synch with my shoulder turn to get my swing speed up in downswing. I feel I have less distance for hip to travel and suddenly my swing speed is up and my hips are facing ball flight. Really hoping this will finally get me the distance I’ve been missing.
A follow up to my last post. Having taken the revised hip turn to the range and course, I wanted to thank you again for the video. My distance has improved significantly and my drives are straighter. Finally seeing the benefits you promise.
Again! Great explanation!!! Can’t wait to see you in person soon!
The website program is very good, well structured and simple to understand. Testing the balls this week.
Wow, this video really hit home for me. Whenever I try to hit it further, I always think about turning my shoulders more, but I think I've been overturning and too flat. I definitely have a two-way miss, and I think this is the cause. Do you think it's better to tilt too much than not enough? What problems could result from too much tilt? I know you recommend exaggeration in trying to correct a swing flaw, so would it be alright to overdo the tilt and then back off a bit? Thanks again for the great videos.
Steve,
Great video, thanks. At 12:30 your exaggerated head position is over your left foot, not the right as you say. Right foot for me is correct as I'm left handed ;-)
Excellent explanation is the first move on takeaway with the hip or shoulder thanks
I feel like it's at the navel.
This is my exact issue. Found this video just in time.
The more I study and practise your (MA) method, compound pivot / tilt, the more sense it makes to me. This is because where the vertebra meets the pelvis there is no ball joint. There is a fixed joint. Each hip and leg have a ball joint that facilitates 'right shift pivot' and 'left shift pivot'. Note that the left and right hip cannot move independently of each other. They are the one structure. The ball joint at the top of the femurs allows tilt and pivot. They also control the knees, tibia, ankles and feet. I have for years been fighting my own body resulting in the pushed out pelvis and a weak and slow turn. Compensations, for example; compression, can make this tolerable. But like the out of control motorcycle it is another wobble in the wheel.
Great analysis and suggestions, as always, Steve. Especially w driver, not so much with irons, I tend to stand up at address. If I tilt, my visual cue tells me I don't have room for the long club to avoid hitting ground. Of course, I am forgetting that the left shoulder will be higher at impact than at address, which creates space for the club to arc w/o hitting the ground.
Great video, that's one of my main problems, not turning my hips or rotating around fast enough so my hands are not getting a head of my body making sure left hip or back is facing the camera at the point of impact
Make sure the butt stays back and turn the chest out in front.
Well done Steve!
Super helpful video! Will try and apply this to my next video!
excellent
Great teaching. Thanks
Hi Steve. What you have described here is me. I know it and two or three pros tried to help but none of them showed me the process of change. So I'll try what you are demonstrating. More importantly, is there a way to interact with you by sending you a video of my swing, obtaining your analysis and instruction for the process of change, trying to change, sending you the video, getting more feedback, etc. I am located very far away from you, in France now and in Florida in the winter. Thanks you.
Have just registered as a member to your site, but, in France, we're locked down now. So I'll send you the swing for analysis as soon as I can.
Merry go round and Ferris wheels are are two great extremes, is there a piece of equipment golfers could visualize to stay on correct plain?
I’ve had the same trouble, he has a video with another fellow in an orange shirt, where they use a range basket to “ rock the baby”, this has helped me.
@@billyfromla1117 Some fairs/carnivals have a ride called the tilt a whirl. Goes around at an angle not level to the ground and not vertical. Google it up for a view.
Great video! You explained the form in an easy manner but could you track the ball after you strike it? I can see you hit it but not trajectory.
Most of my videos lately have that. Apologies.
Like the message, would appreciate a split screen showing face on and from behind to better comprehend the motions of the hips etc... I must say that since you made the comment (another video) about small steps like a baby starting to walk my improvement is starting to take hold. Stopped looking for immediate improvement but more accepting of perfecting the swing.
OK I will try to work on that. My editing skills come in baby steps too.
JBoy I’ve seen your videos with Eric Cogorno have a chat with Mary she is very talented.
@@jboy5744 Yes she is! Both!
Super Steve..thank you..👍
A bit tangled up at times between left and right; tilt and turn. Still a great video.
What is the no. 1 reason why some days I simply feel I unathletic…or unable to swing properly. How do I snap out of that or mitigate the shot haemorrhage?
Beat my best score by 10 after watching videos
Great lesson! 7:30
Steve is this basic movement started with the left arm leading and right just following to stop over the top or downward pop ups?
The body turns the arms.
Two feels perhaps for the too flatly turned, under stuckers ( raises hand): 1. An axle pierces your sternum that is parallel to the ground and perpendicular to the target line. Turn about this in your swing. It’s not at the base of the neck as MA contends, but provides incentive for the shoulders to get more vertical in their turn. Feel only of course.
2. Trail butt cheek stays at backswing depth (against Steve’s legendary chair if you will) while the left hip heads to 8 o’clock in the downswing, and only has permission to come out of depth to push the club post impact. Again, a feel and over exaggeration to oppose what has been happening beforehand.
👍👍👍
Needed this was turning too flat
That first drive looked like it was about 6 inches off line by the time it landed 340 yards down the line. WTH?!?! LOLOLOLOL!
