  • In this video I will be talking about the importance of neck and head tilts throughout the swing to give players more physical mobility and explain how this can greatly affect your body movement. This is something that not alot of people think about and can be the missing piece if you want to make some great changes to your swing.

    I’m right handed and I discovered just by chance that instead of looking straight down at the ball I slightly turn my head to the trail side so my left eye is lined up with the back of ball. I don’t know why it works but it makes my downswing and follow through work perfectly.

    Thank you so much for this. I could not figure out why my left clavicle always ached after a round or time in the practice bin. Thanks to your short video and now this, I realize that I try to deliberately keep my head still in my backswing and follow through and “rotate around the spine.” When my timing gets off or I get tired, the tendency is to strain the neck over the left shoulder even more, in the hopes that the timing will return and the impact position improves. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your videos (this one, how to release the club, and the one on thinning the ball especially).

  • @ggmorris71
    @ggmorris71 Před rokem

    GREAT video. Don’t see this enough. Most just don’t have flexibility without some head movement. They do everything they can to keep the head too still to the detriment of they overall swing. Especially older players. Thanks Jonathan!

  • @kazimierawojciechowska2570

    Your lessons are brilliant, the swing and follow through lesson will certainly eliminate my chicken wing style. Looking forward to going out to the range to practice. Thank you 🙏🏼

  • @waynejorgensen2085
    @waynejorgensen2085 Před rokem

    I think this instruction is spot on. My neck (cervical spine) does not have enough curve, probably because of a whip lash accident. On top of that I have arthritis in my neck and lower back. I’m taking video lessons and I’ve noticed my neck is not rotating as you recommend. It’s very noticeable in the follow through where I also have a slight amount of chicken wing and my chest is not rotating up as it should. I will be working to correct it and I’m confident it will eliminate my neck pain.

    I can't express enough how much this information is going to help me! I've only played five times and my close game is very very good but I can't hit the ball with any kind of power and feel like I'm just swinging with my arms and I'll basically lay the shaft on my shoulders. I can hit the ball kinda straight but it goes off to the left a bit and I can't hit any club farther then like 100 yards. Even my driver. I can hit it every single time but it goes off to the left some and since I know that i aim nore to the right and out the tee far right in the tee box. But I get no power and my brother in law thinks that's my farthest I can hit it cause I'm a pretty skinny guy but I'm very athletic. He played for four years same with his friend and I'm already basically better then his friend but I just can't hit the ball far at all. Also they're absolutely horrible at close range while I'm only doing one or two putts cause I never take long putts. I'll always chip it with the 9 iron and get very very close to the hole or almost make it and I can even pop the ball straight up and land with basically no roll and accurately but my far game is so terrible. I just don't understand it. Tbh I can't even believe I'm already this good for only playing five times. And practiced once for two hours with my 8 yr old nieces club and then I gotta rent horrible old rusted clubs at the golf course. I literally can't find even just ONE club under 100 freaking dollars let alone a set. I can't even afford to play the sport but I absolutely love it and just sucks I have to practice with nothing in my hands or I'll use freaking Christmas present wrap or a stick from a tree or a towel. It sucks but I'm so determined. I've gotten yelled at on the course to get off if I can't play. So I'm literally running to my balls and trying to rush everything and I hate it. Half the time I don't even get to putt cause ppl I'll be playing with won't let me try to hit it on the green

      Im left eye dominant and swing righty. I ended up pre-tilting my head a little towards the target and that helped me wonders. I would say take a natural backswing and see what angle your head tends to rest at the top. If you pre-tilt at that positing then your head feels like it doesn’t move at all.

  • @Snowman9K
    @Snowman9K Před 3 měsíci

    I think that eye dominance has a huge role in this. Nicklaus was left eye dominant so he turned his head to the right, which probably aided his turn. Right eye dominance can discourage turning. If it’s bad enough, try an open stance. Obviously then you’ll need to develop a swing that works from that stance.

  • @C02045

    I trained myself to not care if I momentarily lost sight of the ball. I made my head position relate to my shoulder rotation only. I ceased to have any neck issue and improved my strike also.

    @trexinvert Před rokem

    There's also a visual sensory issue. Most of us like to look at a target with our eyes dead center, and our heads also squarely facing. That's why most of "us hackers" keep our head and neck "frozen" looking straight down at the ball. Plus, the saying..."keep you're eyes on the ball". However, for a correct golf swing and head turn your eyes must "move and track" to the extreme corners of your eyes. A good practice drill is to "close" one eye and swing. The eye on the take back side, of course. This "corner of the eye" requirement is also critical in baseball, tennis or any sport where a sideways body position is needed for maximum power transfer.

    This is why our(...us hackers) practice swing feels and "looks" good, but when we line up and hit the ball we tighten up.
    You know when you take a full practice swing without the ball and just hit grass.
    We are not looking at any target below, but swinging from balance and body motion.
    At same time, letting our head/neck just move naturally.

  • @MPerski
    @MPerski Před rokem

    Is the turning & tilting of the head an intentional move?
    That is, should we turn the head as we do the hips?
    … or is the head turning a byproduct of a full shoulder turn? 🤷🏼‍♂️
    Trying to minimize the number of swing thoughts 💭
    Jack Nicklaus really emphasized keeping your head still. If you watch him, he would set his head (turn it to the right) at setup before starting his swing.

    • @JKMGolf
      @JKMGolf  Před rokem +1

      When jack nicklaus said to keep your head still he meant that you don’t want it to move too much right or left but he definitely said it was ok to turn your head. A lot of the great players turn their heads in the backswing
