One huge Trend that I’m seeing so many golfers doing at the moment which is destroying their ability to be able to turn through the golf ball is standing way too close to the golf ball at setup because when you stand too close to the golf ball there is a Sure Fire way to

Completely shut off your turn and rotation through the golf ball so let’s talk about why it’s bad how to do it better and a good drill that complements it to get you turning through the golf balls okay standing too close to the golf ball so why this hurts you to be

Able to turn through the shop because when we start to rotate in the down swing rotation has an outward force on the hands so rotation brings the hands outwards the hands do go down as well cuz the ball is of course on the ground the hands will always be dropping down

With gravity but rotation is what forces the hand path out so the hand path ideally goes down and out with good rotation in the down swing now if you’re too close to the golf ball and you have any Touch of outward force on the hands you are going to be having that

Club travel way outside the ball line to where then you’d either have to chop across it or you will shank it to where most golfers if they are standing too close to it they are not going to rotate at all cuz when you don’t have rotation

In the downswing the hand path starts to viciously drop down so you would have to have the hand path viciously dropped down for you to be able to hit that golf ball because if you don’t have that hand path dropped down like we said you are

Going to hit a very very bad shot so we would see golfers stall out their rotation usually back up to pull their hands in to be able to hit the golf shot so too close to the golf ball trying to hit one let’s have a

Look so for me I really feel like I have to back out the way to pull the hands in that’s not going to get you turning through the golf ball even slightly so to be able to successfully turn through the golf ball we need space going through the golf ball we can’t be

Cramped up being cramped up from setup alone is a disaster because we know the HTH will go down and out if we’re moving and rotating nicely so we’ve got to make up for it so we got to make sure we’re standing appropriate distance away from the golf ball if we’re standing an

Appropriate distance away from the golf ball now albe other things in our golf swing are good we have now got the room to be able to allow the hand path to go down and out which it will do with good rotation and then we can stay down

Through the shop just a little bit better set up and it’s already way easier for my body to stay down in posture and turn so absolutely do not want to be standing too close to the golf ball it’s such a common thing I see golfers here to where hands are

Literally so close to their legs and ultimately over the ball like a putter like you’re putting the ball where your eyes are either just on the inside of the ball line or on the ball we want our eyes to be right halfway from you and the golf ball so right halfway there and

Easy way to get there is to do hang low sign so do the Hang Low sign put your thumb on the belt buckle pinky finger then goes on the B end of the club and there we go eyes are about halfway to the ball I got space now now to allow

For that hand paff to move down and out to hit the golf ball nicely so make sure you’re in that nice position now for golfers who maybe have a little bit longer arms they can do an outstretched Palm just like so and do the same thing

From belt buckle to there and there we go so that’s a great way to S up to it also so for me with long arms that’s absolutely brilliant again just allows you freedom to be able to turn we need freedom to be able to turn there one more way you can

Set up to golf ball in a good spot this gets you in everything else and you’re posturing good so just stand to the golf ball slight bend on the knees have your back dead straight so when your back is dead straight put the club out in front

Of you get the club to the ground by just relaxing mid and upper back that keeps the pelvis tucked underneath that gives me good spine structure if you feel like you’re too close from there as we’ve learned from what we’re seeing we need that at least the Hang Low sign so

Me with long armed I need to take a little Shuffle back now I’ve got the room now I can freely rotate so now we’ve got that room let’s talk about a good drill to accompany it so my brand new winter Improvement plan is in full swing and it’s not only proving to be

Incredibly popular but it’s also providing unbelievable results and what this online lesson plan is with myself it is four lessons per month for under the price of two individual lessons unlimited communication so messaging back and forth with myself any questions you have you can ask me whenever and

Also I have now included not only on my winter plan but on all my my plans on skillist free access to all my video courses so if you sign up to any of my plans winter one absolutely included you can get all my courses so whether it’s the new early Extension Course rotation

Shallowing or over the top you can watch all of them for no extra cost with that subscription and of course if you just want to pick up one of those awesome guides which are absolutely packed with amazing information way deeper than I could ever go on here on YouTube and

With amazing drills that tailored to you specifically you can pick those up individually also over on skillist the link for all of this is down in the description here and if you also want us to have individual lessons with myself so I’ve got three different packages of individual lessons you can absolutely

Choose from those too so if you don’t want to do a plan that’s absolutely fine I’ll be more than happy to work with you regardless so let’s make 2024 season your best season ever link in description for online lessons with myself so drill that I’m absolutely

Loving at the moment for RO ation is one where it gets you into a position but the drill that it gets you into is very similar to one that you’ve seen a lot of my channel but it’s a really good one for once you get a little bit more

Distance away from the ball in an appropriate place don’t stand too far away that’s going to cause problems but this is going to help a lot so get a club put the club on the side of your body and then what I want you to do is

Rotate until the top of the club gets over the ball there so rotate to the top of the club over the ball and then what you do put the club Behind the ball grip the club look at all this space I’ve got i’ got all the space in the world to be

Able to turn and then what we do from there swing up and swing through that Springs me back going through the golf ball like we can see so that is an absolutely brilliant drill to go and do so again Club on your side rotate to where that club is over the golf ball

That gets you open hips that gets you open chest that gets you nice right side Bend so right shoulder down to right hip does it all by itself and then put the club Behind the ball grip it from there swing back swing through and you’re going to spring back through the golf

Ball in a really nice spot that gets you feeling good rotation and you can go and apply that into the golf ball with that new feeling and standing further away so do not stand too close to it it is not a thing that most golfers can do to stay

Imp posture and turn maybe some top players in the world John Ram actually stands quite close to it but John Ram is John Ram he’s incredibly skillful as a golfer most golfers watching YouTube they’re not of course joh ROM standard so if you enjoyed the video click the

  1. I like the bowed left wrist move you have on the backswing. It's like what Rahm does . Tried it and it feels great on the downswing but it's incredibly difficult to do. The left wrist just wants to stay neutral instead of bow

  2. This happens unless one moves like Jim Furyk? Mr. Furyk stands pretty close to the ball.
    Do you work with clienta online?

  3. great tip, as always Jonathan! I guess the answer is yes, but just to be sure: Is the "hang-loose-sign"-drill working for all clubs? Thanks in advance!

  4. Another GREAT video. Your drill at the end is superb. Tried it tonight at the range – two practice swings and straight into a 5 iron. Wow, lower flight, much more solid contact. Thanks.
