This is the best and clearest explanation of the proper down swing . Thank you very much!
loving this video, really outstanding explanation of the trail shoulder , I've watched idk 4 to 5 of your videos in last couple days and I'm very very impressed by your way of teaching and explaining yourself , Thanks Man keep it going!!
An absolutely essential lesson that has helped my swing tremendously..especially on the driver! Thank you so much for explaining this in a very straight forward manner. I am now hitting my drives 230-250+ where I was only 190 to 215. Hitting them straight too! I definitely wasn't brining my right shoulder back enough. Right on brotha!
Awesome, youâve just described and shown me how to fix my biggest problem, The right shoulder move to start the down swing, I was rotating before the lateral dip causing slice, shank, blocking it right etc.hit the mat to try this and instantly hit it straight.
Thank you for the video. Just what I need to work on. Too often hitting behind the ball even with a good shoulder turn. Ive also found it has helped me on short chips around green from rough or otherwise.
Excellent video. I really loved how you demonstrated the right should move. I went out and performed it in front of a mirror first and then on the range. I had a lot more swing speed and the ball goes straight. Thanks.
Heâs the best. Teaches cause and effect really well. What this shows is if you get the right shoulder deep enough it actually makes it easier to shift the lower body toward the target instead of âfake rotationâ - not getting deep enough leads to not being patient and triggers spinning out with the lower body as a recovery move, losing a huge power source.
Now I clearly understand how to use my right shoulder correctly in the golf swing ( up swing and down swing)
Thank you very much
Thanks Kerrod. That explains a lot, especially in the coming down move at the start of the downswing.
Thanks Joeđ
Been working on this myself. Then saw a video by Pete Cowan and now this. Nice to be affirmed. I was hitting mostly pulls and hooks with short irons.
Fantastic explanation and drill. Guessing this works for all clubs? Am enjoying catching up on your archive. I know it's not golf-related, but condolence to you and all Aussies (especially his family of course) on the loss of Shane Warne. A legend and taken far too young. Still can't believe it
Perfect! Been working this with club across the chest just like you show -- this helps a lot! Thank You!
Glad to hear!
Many Thanks đ
I've found that thinking about turning and tilting the chest, rather than the shoulders, works better for me. My focal point for the back swing and start of the downswing is my trail side pec. I trigger the downswing with a tug of the lead side oblique which starts a move of the trail side pec down and towards the ball. Borrowing from one of your excellent previous videos, I picture the downswing, as a race between the lead side and the trail pec. Getting the trail side more involved in the downswing, has helped me a lot with all ground shots.
Thank you so much, finally a clear explanation. Great lesson.
Many Thanks đ
Great video Kerrod. Interestingly, I suffer from this problem and have a major hook. I think my right shoulder gets so stuck on the way down that it slams to my body and my wrists just turn over hard. I have always had a weak turn through the ball. People try to fix it with hip rotation but never explained it from a "top" of the swing standpoint and better rotation going back. I will give this a try on the range. Any other advice for people that hook would be appreciated ( I don't slice the ball that much).
Thanks again for the video!!
As good a piece of advice we will ever get! For me, this could help lots of us link the concepts of take away, rotation, weight transfer, path and swinging toward the target! Really good - actually really, really good!
Many Thanks đ
Good advice. I have found that I need to keep my head up, while still looking at the ball, in order to get my left shoulder under my chin. If my head is down and my chin is almost touching my chest, my left shoulder doesn't have room to rotate fully and tends to push me off the ball. I noticed that you keep your elbows close together throughout the swing, too. That helps to get the right shoulder moving correctly on the downswing.
Absolutely, Thanks for visit đ
Thanks Kerrod Gray getting better thanks to you. Feel so good when I do the right rotation and I hit nice. Life bless you my friend.
Keep it up
Great insight on the body not rotating in the backswing causing "strangulation" look. I've had that.
Wow! After all these years, finally solved my biggest issue! The start down the correct path is critical. Mahalo, Kerrod, glad i found you!
Great to hear!
Many Thanks đ
GREAT VIDEO, OUTSTANDING EXPLANATIONS, PRICELESS TIPS! I wish you all the Best, Kerrod!!! đđđ
Thank you so much đ
I literally cannot wait to try and add this to my swing. I took videos of myself at the range today trying different solutions (none worked) and in every video, my shoulder goes straight to the ball. I pray my driver will be straight now
This is one of the best videos describing the slot and over the top moves. Thx
Glad it helped!
Many Thanks đ
Great stuff here! very helpful tip. Thanks a lot Kerrod!
Happy to help!
Many Thanks đ
Brilliant tip, clearly and consiely explained. Nice work. And thanks.
Many Thanks đ
Excellent ! I really need to relax to turn my right shoulder back. Thanks!
Thanks for visit đ
Great video. Moving right shoulder down has transformed my golf. Only problem is that occasionally it results in a huge hook. Is that because of too little rotation? Not going deep enough?
Absolute gold instruction - clearly presented. Iâve been working on this âdroppingâ of the shoulder as the first move in the downswing and when I get it right the results are awesome. But thatâs in practice, on the golf course itâs so hard to correct habits of a lifetime. Still persevering though đ
Glad it helped! Good luck!!
Thank you so much for providing this excellent explanation and example of how to help correct my biggest problem. I have been shortening my backswing and not realizing as i have been doing it in trying to tighten up my swing. I have been bending my left arm more than ever and think it is because of not turning the shoulders enough. Thank you again and will start with the drill.
Glad it helped you, mate! Cheering for you!!
I like to make sure my right shoulder is already further back than my left shoulder when setting up. This helps me get more consistent rotation. Especially on driver, definitely more distance
thank you. exact video i need.
That;s great! You're welcome!
Enjoying the video at the top you said we want the right shoulder back in behind at the top and at the top to the hands be in that position back in behind the right shoulder right shoulder behind and drops down to the right shoulder also move toward the target thanks kindly advise Jack
Thanks for this gem of golf wisdom and explanation. The great Jackie Burke jr said keeping the right shoulder back works like a charm. Now weâre in a position to allow the gravity move and let the clubhead do the work. One of those rare eureka moments that will survive . Awesome
Thank you! Appreciate that!
5 star video. On average, I shoot 90 during a round. After this video, I shot 82 yesterday and 80 earlier today. Just shows me what I've been doing wrong for a long time. This technique eliminated my slight fade.
Glad it helped you, Charlie! Thanks for watching!
Such an important lesson to understand. Many thanks as this has really helped me.
Glad to hear that!
This a really great vlog, thanks heaps for the content

Wow great concept, just had a look in the mirror to see this, never thought about this before.
Thanks...Keep Trying đ

Glad you liked it!
Thanks đ
I like your instruction. It makes good sense.
Glad to hear!
Many Thanks đ
Your videos are very helpful and get to the point which is way most are around the backswing and downswing feel and not about quick fixes. I feel if your backswing fundamentals are out you will always be trying to correct your swing path in the downswing every shot. As of 2 weeks ago when a low handicap player at the range pointed out that i have a slight reverse pivot backswing which is a bad habit i fall into. Anyway i decided to go and fix it in the past 2 weeks, gathered a bunch of checkpoints from your videos that i now i practice in the mirror. Wide arching pushing feeling with the arms, hips back and up, head doesn't dip, weight on back foot and my swing has got more consistent and i'm hitting 10-15m further on each club. Downswing is pretty natural for me so haven't really needed to change that. The only thing i noticed creep in was if i don't turn enough the ball now goes right (This video explains it well) where as with a reverse pivot i was getting more of a hooking action. Driver is also so much easier to hit. I kind of wish there were coaches like you in Brisbane but have yet to find one. Perth is a bit of a hike if i wanted to get lesson with you :P
Great!! So glad it helped you! You can check out here: www.perform.golf/free . There's so much to offer there: free masterclass and more.. Thank you so much, mate!
Unbelieveable, I've been looking for a feel of the hands/shoulder for the start of the downswing, just watched the video, went out and hit a bucket of my best shots of the year, Had a nice turn, and brought the hands down and turned. Nice contact & flew high & far. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Wow! Glad to hear it, Kevin! Great job! You're welcome and thank you!
@@kerrodgraygolf went to the course to test the swing, I hit it well, but didn't score well, 44 on front nine with a triple bogey and a 3 putt. But the back nine I was even par on the 18th tee and put it in the water for a double. 44+38 for a 82, I'll take it. Need some range time to dial it in, but again, Thank you.
Awesome lesson mate đđđ
Thanks! đ
Good and clear explanation.
Glad you liked it
Thanks đ
Very clear illustration
Thanks a lot đ
This is my problem. Great explanation. I hope I can adopt this adjustment and improve my club path.
Thanks! I'm sure you will pick it up in no time.
great stuff ! donât you think require to explain the separation between hip and torso so that the shoulder moving down instead of spinning out?
Great video⊠you explain concepts extremely well. Can you do a video on fairway and green side bunker play?
I appreciate that! I have some general videos on the topic here on CZcams. Otherwise I have a masterclass available. If you want the link just reply to this comment.
Simple but crucially important. My right shoulder comes out and I cut across the ball every shot. I hit anything from a straight pull to a snap hook. I'm hoping this bears fruit.
Great advice and practice tips.
You're welcome, Kenneth!
excellent explanation.
Glad you think so!
Thanks đ
The best and brilliant
Instructor for role of shoulders turn in golf swings,.thanks,.>>>.
Many Thanks đ
This is a great lesson.
Thanks!
Great Vid Kerrod thanks. I'm one of the right shoulder going forwards on the downswing, my bad swing is a pulled shot straight left of the club. Is the this the right shoulder thing creeping in?
Hi Kerrod! Awesome instruction. As you have said in other video With right side bend crunch on ab occur. And upper half goes back compare to if we don't have side bend.So do weight also hangs back at impact Coz upper half goes back with right side bend? What's your thoughts on this?
Thanks Kerrod. I have improved a lot in terms of consistency and adding few yards across my clubs. I wonder if this applies to the short irons where I struggle to make good contact. Thanks again.
Thanks for your feedback
Excellent explanation
Thanks a Lot đ
Thanks Kerrod, excellent content and you've got a new subscriber!
Can I clarify - is this the same with driver but with set up differences?
Great tips
Thanks Lenard!
Great advice I was really struggling to get the start of the downswing sequence right. This exercise is perfect thank you
Glad it is helpful!
Many Thanks đ
@@kerrodgraygolf Hi Kerrod I must let you know that I played on Sat and with the right shoulder drop exercise you gave, which I have only being doing for a week has improved my driving phenomenally thank you once again. I could not believe the results.

Thanks and Cheers đ
Great video.
Thanks Sunil đ
Iâm here for those home tours in the background.
What is the best drill to get upper body rotation so your arms just lift? Is there a right side stretching feel in the backswing to do this correctly?
Thank you,
Tony
Great video and great instruction, thanks! At the top of the backswing - is it important that the left arm is "covering" the right shoulder, when you look at the body from the same point as the video shoots your body here? The left arm can also be under or over the right shoulder. Is there a correct/preferred way to place the left straight arm?
Great question and there are many way to make it work however as stock model having it cover the shoulder plane is advised
good video sir , so right crunch feet to start downswing ?
Not a slicer but I have been hitting blocks and hooks. I had no idea it was my incomplete rotation, accompanied by my right shoulder not dropping properly, that was causing my issues...thanks!
This was my problem Iâve been trying to fix for months, thanks awesome lesson.
Happy to help!
Thanks for visit đ
Good stuff. I think telling people to never move laterally is an issue. So they just spin and come over the top. I notice more and more that good golfers do actually shift their weight laterally when dropping that club. Morikawa moves 6-8â laterally while rotating and keeping his head/chest at it behind the ball.
Great tip for those that have no issues with flexibility. Your emphasis on getting "enough rotation in the back swing" @ 6:18 is all well & good for those that can. What do you suggest for those of us who don't have the flexibility of a 30 something year old anymore?
You can flare the back foot out and drop it back slightly which will assist with rotation.
Great video. My right shoulder drops but it's a little too much I think. I'm under the plane on the way down. What causes that?
This was my demon. But I recently discovered when my right hip leads the right shoulder falls in place. Excellent topic and analysis by the way.
so damn gooddddd!!b
This is THE move that is working for me when my swing feels dialed.
Awesome
Thanks for the visit đ
Great lesson KGâŠ.. this is exactly what I struggle with and currently working to have a better swing đ thx brotha!
You're welcome!
Eureka. Can u talk about the effect it has in clubface positioning. Opened closed square? Ive struggled with a closed face in my backswing and have had to reverse roll to hit the ball without hooking. When inget the right shoulder deeper it feels like i can let it go on the way down
Thank you for this video. In all my instruction, I donât recall a coach mentioning my right shoulder position and movement during the downswing.
Do these fundamentals apply to swinging a driver also...
What is your club face angle at hip level in backswing?
Is it the same movement when using the driver?
How do you get on plane with half swings where you sont rotate all the way back?
đŻđŻđŻ
Thanks for visit đ
I love putting the club across my chest and swinging down and making the butt end hit the golf ball. But my problem is doing it with a club in my hand and make a swing and trying to fill that right shoulder hit the ball per-say
For a more exaggerated feel try this drill it helps lots of my students: czcams.com/video/zuW97rMc6n0/video.html
Your clubhead definitely stays behind the hands when you drop your shoulder as apposed to coming over the top so to speak , I've been seriously struggling with timing tempo and weight shift , is it possible this move would allow me time to transfer my weight more on my lead foot and sync everything up more naturally
I am in the garden doing exactly what you say but keep hitting the ground just before the ball. What am I not doing?
It seems that simply, the path of the right shoulder in the downswing retraces the path it took in the backswing.
Still not sure why I get in this wrong position which in turn causes the over the top action. Is it to avoid the 'strangle' effect in the backswing so swing trying to keep the arms more out in front of me?
Hi, kingshearer2! This video can definitely help with this!
I think before you FEEL the trail shoulder dropping, you have to FEEL the lead shoulder dropping if only slightly. Am I mistaken?
đ
Thanks for the visit đ
It really depends. For players with tendency to get dumped under, this is exactly the opposite advice from what they need. There are plenty of amateur golfers who get way too much trail side bend too early in transition, for whom the feeling of the the trail shoulder working directly out and down to the ball.
My right shoulder is dipping and I am hitting behind the ball?
This is exactly what I do but if I try your movement I end up dumping the club into the ground miles behind the ball or deliver the club face wide open for a mega slice.
Hitting the ground before the ball was solved for me by working on the body turn. When I did that, it usually meant that my arms were outrunning my body - out of sync essentially.
