A golf pro friend of mine basically showed me this in my swing. Immediately started hitting my irons better. To the point where I feel confident with a 4 iron. One thought he added was try and hit the ball as low as possible. Really helps me. Just discovered you on youtube and your videos are great!
I’ve been stuggling with thin iron shorts for a long time. Super inside out path and little to no divot. This instruction has fixed a lot of the thins i was struggling with.
Yeah definitely an integral part of the swing. You can see the left knee moves more toward the ball versus behind. The right hip is higher and more rotated. Didn't know the sternum should be close to vertical at setup! This is where my swing occasionally falters.I know when done properly consistency and compression are much improved over the modern swing. Generally get a higher ball flight with a slight draw. Power w. control. Reminds me so much of Mike Austin in his teachings on proper hip movement! 60 years ago!
What a great video, very informative and very relatable. when i practice this i find i fire my arms/top half to quickly due to the fact that in trying to get my left side earlier. great job Kerrod
Amazing video! Had several lessons w a pro, and he had me working on the same thing. Saw everything through computer analysis, and I couldn’t believe how much more centered I was staying. Made a huge difference in strikes and distance. However, I don’t know what habit I developed, but now I feel stuck on my left side-I tend to fall back off the ball to my trail side in the downswing, or go pretty steep over the top!
I’ve taken lessons for more power as well. I went from great game to a beginner all over again. Started topping the ball first but then my body started to learn and started hitting my irons much better. It gets bad then better
I think this is the hardest part of the golf swing to master, but if you do, the rest becomes easy. I almost prefer to think of the move to the lead side being led by my tailbone and as one continuous motion rather than a turn back and then a turn through. If you just keep turning the trail hip behind you until you are pretty much feel like you are “falling” to the lead side and breaking that fall with the inside of your lead foot, it is easier. You end up not thinking about the re-centering, it just happens.
Incorporated this into my swing a few years back. My only side note to readers is your path changes too if you do this. My old sway was an element of straightening my path at the base of my arc. You'll need to adjust your backswing path too
Thanks for sharing these videos Kerrod. I really appreciate how you take the time to explain the issues and why they occur, along with solutions to improve them. You are an excellent teacher. I just stumbled upon your channel today and plan to watch all of your videos. Can't wait to get back on the course now that I am aware and can make some small changes to improve my ball striking.
Great video Kerrod. What is this move I am hearing about rolling the left hand knuckles down towards the ground on the downswing? Do we have to do this manually? Or does it happen automatically when the swing is right in the first place? keep up the great videos your explanations are very helpful.
Great video Kerrod, I find it so hard to stop my club getting to far behind on the backswing. Once the club is out of position early you have compensatory moves and you are shot. How do you do that much rotation and not rocket the club too far behind? I’ve been trying to maintain flex in the trail leg and limit lower body rotation.
That was awesome- really awesome. I’ve been working on this exact principal with my coach for the past 6 mos. I’m anxious to see this transferred to the driver, that’s where I’m at now and struggling.
Excellent! (1) I need/am working on this exact thing :) (2) I am now comfortable getting to the top with pressure on the left/lead foot; but (3) I've been doing it wrong for so long, I don't know how to get to the ball from there--most lessons imply the downswing is easy and simply swinging through--but not so for me--I think I need a "trigger" and or feel for coming through the ball. Great work tho Kerrod, and putting lessons up is a wonderful idea. Roger
@@nicholasdemetriades9154 i continue my swing plane..left to right..slight fade. As a 55 years old. I prefer vijay and padraig..easy n yet powerful. I used XXIO golf equipment suit my swing
Thanks for this. I struggle with similar move off ball and staying in flexion. If you are saying the head should stay centred on way back and then body should shift forward is it therefore ok for head to end up forward at impact compared to address?
Hi, Gustav! If you sway then this is a great exaggeration feel but in general you should definitely not brace. Let me know how's it. Keep in touch, thanks anyway!
@@kerrodgraygolfIve been working alot with my irons a long time and this is what actually works for me, took me down from hcp 18.6 to 10.1 since april. In The backswing I have a feel of a reverse pivot and bracing the Wall at the same time, but I do shift pressure a tiny bit. Then on the downswing I focus about not fulfillling the reversed pivot but instead turn my hips forward to leadside. my low point control is finally ok by doing this. sorry for the English, Im from Sweden.
Hi Kerrod, my instructor and I are working on this very thing, staying more centered over the ball during the back swing because I do pretty much everything Dan was doing, ending up with me hanging back on my R foot at impact at anywhere from 70-77%, though for a slightly different reason. At top of back swing I have anywhere from 60-70% of my pressure in my L foot but it doesn't stay there. To start the transition and down swing I end up PUSHING off my L foot back to my R side and then hang back the rest of the way. What are some of the reasons this could be happening and What can I do to help KEEP the weight/pressure on my L side once I get it there for the transition and down swing instead of pushing back off that L foot in the down swing? James Leitz called me a "Reverse Weight Shifter" unexpectedly With Lag, a true unicorn he said. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Not really S&T at all since they prescribe keeping your weight left at all points during the swing. This re-centering move was figured out by the guys over at AMG with 3-d video and pressure plates and almost every elite ball striker does it in what you would call a “conventional swing”. There is pressure movement to the right early (which would not make this S&T) but the re-cententering move happens before the end of the backswing.
Less than 1 minute into video 2nd group of adverts. Either you or youtube are having a laugh. Stopped watching and will avoid your channel from now on.
Great to be able to see in real action mistakes "normal" golfers make, and how to correct them. This live lesson is great.
Wow! Glad it helped!

What a great lesson. Sometimes i catch myself hanging back or otherwise losing balance primarily with driver.
Holy S**t this has to be the most detailed best video I have seen to date. Thank you

Wow! That's great!
Fantastic lesson. I can't wait to try it. Thank you Kerrod.
You're welcome, Richard!
Excellent video, one that shows, even if indirectly, how to engage the left hip on the downswing.

Now I know how to turn on the pivot ！you are a wonderful instructor ! I like your videos very much !
Great to hear!
Thank you very much👍
Thanks Karrod and Dan. Of all your recent and past posts, I found this lesson the most insightful.
Thank you, Charles!
In depth video with demonstration. Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks, Paul!
I think you are the best instructor I have come across. Very clear with your tuition
Thanks, mate! Appreciate it!
Excellent lesson, completely helped me to understand the concept as I do the exact thing as your student. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! You're welcome!
Awesome lesson with a lot of content in just above 20 minutes. So much to take away for me. TY
Exactly my Problem. Thx a lot.
No problem! You're welcome!

I can’t believe how quickly you grasped that I just can’t ingrain that move ! After a similar lesson

Yeah feels like a shorter back swing. But powerful.
Two great videos thanks
Glad you like them, Stuart!
Thanks!
You're welcome, Ken!
great video ! Can’t wait to go and try this as I KNOW that hanging back golfer I be 😢!
You can do it! Goodluck!
Good lesson
Thanks for watching👍

Thanks a lot 👍
The first time I did this I definitely felt like I was reverse pivoting as the body shifted onto the left side and the head remains. Great video.
Thanks, William! Glad to hear from you!
Does this weight forward apply to driver swing also?
Great video Kerrod. What is this move I am hearing about rolling the left hand knuckles down towards the ground on the downswing? Do we have to do this manually? Or does it happen automatically when the swing is right in the first place? keep up the great videos your explanations are very helpful.
Wow... you dropped a lot of gems 💎... thanks for sharing ... 😎
Thanks for your visit 👍
Great video. Please do same kind of video but with a sriver and fairway wood. Thank you.

How do you do that much rotation and not rocket the club too far behind? I’ve been trying to maintain flex in the trail leg and limit lower body rotation.

I’ve tried this and It turns into reverse pivot.. any thoughts i definitely hang back. Thx
Excellent. Thanks mate.
That was awesome- really awesome. I’ve been working on this exact principal with my coach for the past 6 mos. I’m anxious to see this transferred to the driver, that’s where I’m at now and struggling.
Is this the stack and tilt method?

Watch Brian Manzela's analysis and breakdown of Sergio Garcia's iron swing. Its lengthy but very informative!
I’m still confused about recenter. Do I float to lead side before top of back swing or am I pushing off back foot?
Float!
Another stack and tilt method. Good for short and mid iron. But need to tweak a bit for woods.
Not exactly stack& tilt. If Sergio Garcia's iron swing is S & T I think you would take his swing?

Thanks, Sean! Appreciate it!
How is the different than SNT?
GREAT LESSON 😁
Many Thanks 👍
Thanks for this. I struggle with similar move off ball and staying in flexion. If you are saying the head should stay centred on way back and then body should shift forward is it therefore ok for head to end up forward at impact compared to address?
Yes but only very slightly with the short irons. Might give you a slight fade bias as well.
I have had many instructors over years… none were so « in deep « swing building……. I would like to meet him….
Thank you for the excellent video. 👍🇭🇰🙏
Many Thanks 👍
Great video thanks
I love the old guy in the bg doing exactly what he shouldn’t
Is this stack and tilt? Thanks
This guy in the lavender shirt is not re-centering at all.!!!!!
great tips, lov it
Thanks for watching 👍
its like bracing a Wall with leadside at setup and just barely loose that brace at backswing to get back to the Wall and through at impact, right?
Hi, Gustav! If you sway then this is a great exaggeration feel but in general you should definitely not brace. Let me know how's it. Keep in touch, thanks anyway!

Kerrod, would this be considered the Stack and Tilt method?
Similar to what I said lol. I’ve never had good results with stack and tilt.

This is a method to help you strike the ball better ;)
100% NOT S&T. Mike Austin in the 1950s definitely. He was way ahead of everyone else! Helped someone named Ben Hogan after his car accident.
He tends to have his clubface open at address.
You would over-complicate a recipe for ice water.
