Regardless of where you stand in your golfing journey – whether you're a beginner, dealing with flexibility concerns, or aiming to lower your handicap – this platform is designed to cater to your needs.

Great lesson, Giles. I appreciate having the split screen views of both the front and rear of your positions as you speak. Makes the lesson so easy to understand.

[johnschwartz]

Excellent job Giles in emphasizing and demonstrating how important the left shoulder is in the golf swing! For years, I started my swing with my left shoulder. Then, another instructor told me that I would get more depth in my backswing utilizing the right shoulder. So, we are now back to square one! I like what I see in your demonstrations Giles especially the "drag through drill" with the alignment stick and the golf club. And, since I am now a senior golfer, your demonstrated moves seem more natural! Well Done Giles! Always Enjoy Your Videos!!!

[deansharratt]

Keep these coming Giles 👏🏼👌🏼 great drills

[jimthomson]

Great video Giles. One of your best. I too am in the long off-season in Canada. I’ll be doing the three drills in the basement over the winter. I suffer from a bit of an inside takeaway but the combination of your “push the handle down to start the takeaway” tip from a previous video and the “lead shoulder down and around” has my takeaway more on plane with the shaft more in line with my rear forearm on the way to the top. 👍

[Michieldering]

Particularly like the part on the follow through. As a senior beginner golfer I still struggle with that part. I tend to stop moving after the impact with the ball. Hope your drill will help me fix this. Very much like your channel; not to long and always relevant! Thank you.

[donaldschmidt]

Again, Giles, what separates you from your peers, which are few, is you always have 3 or 4 drills for the player. This allows the aspiring golfer OPTIONS in terms of what works best for them. I personally like the hands-on knees drill the best. You can do this anywhere, and it's great for transition as well. Flexible and adaptive thinking are a part of your teaching DNA. Keep sending this great content with as many different style drills as possible.

[danrobinson]

Excellent video. Great explanation! Thx

[fraserlawson]

Great video, Giles. I will give the "drag through" drill a go, since I usually imagine throwing a ball/stone with my right hand to a spot that is target side of the ball to get a less "handsy" release.

Great lesson, probably the best in my entire golfing time. I was struggling with inconsistencies all the time due to my premature lift up of this naughty left shoulder. Yesterday I changed my swing respecting this video and performed in just one fame the best ever! Now I lnow how to proceed! Thanks a lot mate!!

[dangagliardi]

Hi Giles. request for upcoming sessions.I live in Canada and currently in the "off-season". Is there 1-3 drills I can be doing a few times a week, in my house, where I do not have access to hit balls, to get ready for the upcoming season.

[johnhewlett]

Giles is it the same movement with the driver?

[wolfgangkehrer]

Very nice illustrated! And it's something I can practice at home, even better.

[stepgimb]

Hi Giles. Thanks again for these high quality contents.
I worked on the left shoulder topic last weekend, and I it clearly impacts the angle of attack of the club to the ball. My problem is I would like to have a softer angle of attack to get a smoother ball contact and more consistent launch angle, less divot etc. In your opinion, what part of the swing creates a flatter swing circle? (Release timing, head position, … ) thanks again and keep on the good job.😊

[HarrisonGowers]

Great lesson. The left shoulder move’s so similar in all swings

[ebitalian]

I don’t like internal focus BUT I tend to stand up and I notice it because my lead shoulder almost gets in the way of my line of sight of the ball.

When I take a rehearsal swing focusing on my lead shoulder going down to start, I can then swing towards my target repeating that feel.

Great video

[johnhewlett]

When I remember to focus on the lead shoulder movement good things tend to happen😊

[ภพภูมิ-ผฌ]

3 Drills will bring you to correct swing.

[gunnarstahl-rh]

Will this same weight shift back to the left to start the downswing also work for the driver or will this get me hitting too much down on the driver. Thank you!

[fredgower]

Nice drills. Suggestions is to keep right elbow down (Ben Hogan key point) and increase lag by maintains wrist cock a little longer (Moe Norman magic move). Just my 2 cents. Cheers

[RichardLuzer]

Making solid contact, but I'm fading drives and fairway woods. Why?
