As coaches, we regularly get asked how to start the downswing. In this video with Elite Golf Schools, we’ll uncover a move that we see happening during this transition and the beginnings of the golf downswing sequence, and that is the sway of the ribcage. This move which happens along with the pressure shift back to the lead side helps us stack up our centers (upper and lower), the torso and pelvis, so we can then turn into the ball with proper low point control, angle of attack, and path. Without this landing phase, turning or rotating only spins us out and can create a steep downswing. In addition to the rib sway early in the downswing, we’ll also look at the rib sway early in the backswing and takeaway which helps create a proper wind up off the ball. We hope you enjoy this addition to our elite golf series!

Really great. Reminds me of Kelvin Mirahawa…move like a reptile.
Have to tell you this works really well. For one thing it's almost impossible to come over the top. Second it sets you up for the downswing so cleanly all you have to do is turn and burn. Finally, it is athletic. I played hockey growing up and this feels very similar. Well, without hockey skates lol…
are you guys saying turn the chest and the upper spine to help move the arms up and down?
The hardest part for me is when coming into impact is having the pressure shift forward but yet keeping your head behind the ball at the moment of the strike.
Such a great breakdown. When does the sway back to the lead side start/complete? Is it kind of p3 to p5 w/ sway completed at landing?
Appreciate the video but that move is not easy for an old dog like me.
Huh?
Although old ive always been an over rotator./turner/coiler on the backswing so think rib sway is going to be the way to go!risky as im scoring well at the moment!
PS does Rocco overdo this maybe with no sacrum move
More great advice I can try in 30 seconds because of Milo's earlier great advice: practice into a net! No paying for range balls, and with my launch monitor, can instantly see the real effects of different variables or swing thoughts. Thinking of this stretch with some 7 irons in my slippers gave me very consistent contact and distances just 3 to 5 % less than my all-time record. Because swaying is such a swing killer for ams like me, this feels like it allows more stretching and range of motion without my center mass straying ouside my hips – which makes it feel like autopilot to get my weight to the front leg and open up on balance, a long-term flaw. Looking to marry this with key match-ups from my online Milo lessons, which already raised my carry distances to where I'm making half my bogies over greens instead of short.
Interesting.
Brilliant Milo
Just tried this and can already feel the difference in my back. Could be a game changer.
forget this, just swing like Moe🤘
It's a "scrunch". Â
Milo Lines, the greater communicator.
Another great video Milo. I really appreciate all your content it has helped my game tremendously.😊
PURE PURE CLASS DEMO GENTS..LOVED IT…. THANKS FOR SHARING GENTS…
Awwesome vdo really!! Just one question. from earlier he showed that their is the right bend for the downswing (3:55) and then, almost at the end (9:27), Riley said it has the left bend for the backswing. Have I undertood it right?
Great stuff!!!!!! Technical but not over the top, so understandable. May have to jump aboard your program.
Instantly more solid contact! and for some reason improved my pitching! once i grasped it as a load and fire move and altered my sequencing hit one of my longest carries ever,230! dont laugh im 62! no birdies but im going to stick with it as it feels so solid
This goofy sh!t is not it.
Thank you Milo for highlighting the excellent teaching of Riley and Elite Golf!!! Both of your channels are wonderful and have helped me so much!
