Let’s look at a matchup I see amongst many of the great ball strikers throughout history, the shaft 90 degrees to the spine in the downswing. Fellow Milo Lines Golf coach, Ed Lasater joins me to show you this awesome matchup! This simple concept can help us in shallowing the golf club and in turn delivering the club through more of a rotational golf swing. This move can be natural if you allow the center of mass to kick back in transition. For many this never happens because they pull down, throw, and drop their arms from the top. We also look at the swings of Jon Rahm and Matthew Wolff to show how different backswing patterns can still produce a similar look in the downswing. Stop adding the energy early and learn to land and turn as shown in the video to get the club following you from behind into the ball. We hope you enjoy this video!

Guys I agree however the more I try the worse I get
awesome guys.
Joining this website and taking online lessons has been the biggest bump in my game since I started playing 15 years ago. Milo's last video on side bend has been a huge added key since that was the hardest concept for me to incorporate, but another weakness Milo spotted during our lessons was "swinging at the hole" instead of the ball: with pros, the clubhead is furthest toward the ball at impact, then it continues around their bodies. I was trying to manipulate the clubhead straight down the target line, which messes up the physics of a powerful and repeatable swing. As my improvement gave me confidence to start trying to hit fades where the fairway shape requires them, I was 60% successful, but the fades that just went straight were a revelation: they were going 10 to 20 yards further than my draws! Makes perfect sense: trying to come across the ball slightly out to in translates for me to towing the clubhead behind my hands in a circle. I'm finally reaching impact with my hands well in front of the ball while still releasing the clubhead. By taking the Nicklaus advice – when shaping the ball, don't aim where you'd be in trouble if your ball goes straight – my "fade drive" works out either way.
Great stuff as usual guys. Would there be a danger of the club getting stuck behind you here? Kinda like the issue that Tiger had years ago. I guess if you just keep rotating the club will get on plane and not be stuck behind? Thanks
I think what gets most people lost is that they focus on "rotating" which really is just either spinning out their hips or rotating their shoulders too early, when the feeling is not that of rotating but compressing down into the ground which re-squares the hips and that downward force produces a force on the grip of the club which lays it off and sets it behind you.
What’s the best way to control how vertical or laid off the club is on the way back, mostly just forearm rotation or more to it?
Ever since I saw your video on halfing your body, it's been a game changer. Way more consistent and no more snap hooks. Feels like effortless power.
Another great video easy to follow and the baseball analogy brings home your point.
Do you ever miss the center of the face of your driver? 😂😂😂
Milo your the best lad
Thanks for putting out such thoughtful content. Could you do a video on re-centering mixed with the tail bone video or what feelings constitute rotating? Is it shift to lead, squat and rotate your tailbone?
Great info. Worked on line with Ed Laseter twice and it has made a huge difference in my ball striking.
Good stuff. I Can't find a more exaggerated example than Matt Wolffe. I sometimes channel him just as an exercise. Way too extreme… But as practice, it helps. Thanks for posting
How about on the same plane as your belt?
A perfect on plane take away is dangerous for 2 reasons.
1: it is impossible to consistently repeat
2: it can so easily be slightly too under
And FYI your phone will have a better slow motion focus
than that blurred mess.
Great video. I like the 90 degree goal for shallowing. Just curious approximately how many yards was that drive?
Hey guys, I am really enjoying the content immensely and Ed, my my, some ones been working out and yes excuse me Mr Lines any chance on letting Ed have a hit with them big guns . . . thanks again.
Would love to see full speed and slow mo of what speed and out to in looks like. Cheers you guys are amazing! And saving my back and hips!!
Let's see if I understand this – assuming tension free arms and wrists, the initial squat move will make the club shallow naturally to approx. 90 degrees to your spine? The arms and hands just follow along with the squat and rotation?
I would like to learn more about your online lessons
would this swing also help with irons…say a 7i up to a 3i….thanks
The key to this is the “ trail elbow move”.
Notice that Ted Williams’s trail elbow moves faster and covers more distance than his hands in the initial stages of his “ downswing”
You have fast hands from baseball so you HAVE to move your body in response to your hands. Most amateurs aren’t elite athletes with fast hands. Stop telling people to throw out all of their body angles while the club is way behind them. If you want to teach people incorrectly, do it privately and stop spouting it online. You’re doing more harm than good.
