So how can we build a nice, solid, consistent golf swing without having to make all kinds of technical changes? Well, I give you a couple of key fields, some drills you can work through here that are going to get you on track without getting overly technical. It's going to help you to get in a feeling of how it is to move in a good golf swing.

 

So I'm going to grip up on this club, almost about six inches from the Clubhead actually saw another pro doing the drills similar to this. I love them. I put my tweak on this so we're going to come over to a wall. I like this because you can do it anywhere in your house. I'm going to set up to wear a hinge forward for my hips.

 

I'll put the the bill of my cap on this wall. My toe of my club would be against this wall, too, with a driver. Now, as I go to the top of the swing, I'm going to let that club turn inside this wall, obviously, and I'm going to keep my head against the wall. And to my left chin comes or my left shoulder comes under my chin.

 

Now it's okay if your head moves maybe about an inch to the right and the back swing from there, I'm going to shift my weight to the left without letting my head slide forward so I'm not letting my head drag away up here. I'm shifting my weight on my front foot, but I'm keeping my head back as I'm doing that.

 

As I also do that, I'm gonna let the butt into this club scrape against this wall. That means I'm getting from the inside. If I get steep in the downswing now this club is going to be way back in here. So I'm going to the right, a little shift to the right side. I'm going to bump to the left, keep my head back and let that club trace the wall on the downswing.

 

Now from there, as I come into impact, you'll see my clubs coming from inside and I'm going to come with my toe of my club against the wall, and then I'm gonna rotate through the shot, keeping my head there until about 45 degrees in the release. And I'm gonna let my hips turn all the way around. Then you can go ahead and come up off the wall there.

 

So looking for a face on that will look something like this. I'm getting a little shift to the right with my head in the back swing. That's completely fine. In the downswing I shift left and keep my head back. Club from the inside. As I release through, I'm going to feel like I keep my head still all the way until my hands are almost up here.

 

And I've stayed down and through the shot and got that extension. That's the first piece of this. Once you get the feeling for that, I got one more thing I want you to add. All right. Now, here's the next piece of this. It's a little bit of a turn and weight shift. At the same time. It's really the same motion.

 

We're going to break it down in a couple of pieces. Again, not super technical here. You get these major pieces of the golf swing happening, like keeping your head still, staying in your posture like we do against the wall, getting your weight shift and your turn down. That's pretty daggone easy. Do some good shots. So what I want to do here is I want to get a huge shoulder turn very early in my back swing.

 

So what I'm trying to do is when my club just barely starts to move back, kind of halfway in the back swing, I want my shoulders to already rotate about 90 degrees. So in a nutshell, you just feel like you're getting a big turn even if you're taking a half back swing, and then from there swing on through to a full finish.

 

You'll notice here my club doesn't go very far back, but because I got that big turn, I can still get some pretty good speed. So normally I'm probably around, you know, high teens, maybe 120 miles an hour on swing speed here. I'm going to make a shorter swing with a big turn. And you're going to see that I retain most of that speed because I get that nice turn, even though my driver doesn't go very far back.

 

Kind of like a John Rahm type swing there. Yeah. So even though I only took it, what felt like about a half back swing, I still got a good turn. My clubhead speed was a little bit lower. 112 and a half on that one. The drive still went 291 yards, so I didn't feel like I had to take it way back, long back swing.

 

The key is you have to turn the body. So the wall drill kept us in our posture, kept us very stable throughout the swing. This drill is helping us to turn as we're doing that. And then finally it's sinking this up with your weight shift. It can be very easy. All I want you to do is go ahead, go to the top of the swing, get a little shift to the left, and then you're going to swing down.

 

So I'm going to have a shift. Then I'm going to swing going through to a good full finish that's going to look something like this back swing full, half back, swing shift, swing on through to a good full finish. And again, as long as you let the body rotate in the back swing, you can stop here. And that's fine as long as you let the body rotate and the follow through with it, right shoulder gets all the way down toward the target.

 

Your hips and your feet go ahead and move. To let that happen. You're going to have good swing speed so it doesn't have to be the biggest, hardest swing as long as those pieces of your body are moving. If I lock up my body and I just keep everything stiff, I end up getting quick, all arms really just jerking this club around.

 

The swing speed plummets, the consistency plummets. Nothing's good when that happens. So finally, is this weight shift a little back swing, weight shift, then I swing on through. I want to get that same feeling here again, just kind of making a three quarters effort swing as I'm doing this. There we go. And we can see on that one I got my weight started to lift straight as a string there.

 

Not going to do much better than that. And again, even though I didn't feel like I killed it, swing speed's almost full speed and my total distance to 96. Pretty happy with that. I don't think I've ever hit one straighter than that. What we talked about in this video is just the power turn very familiar with top speed golf system.

 

You know, that's one of the key fundamentals. There's only five real fundamentals of the golf swing. That's one of them. Now, when we're doing this, a lot of players don't feel like they can make that 90 degree shoulder turn very easily. They definitely don't feel like they can get that right shoulder facing down the target and their follow through very easily.

 

But the real answer is, I guarantee you you can, unless you've had major surgery in the middle of your spine is fuzed. I haven't seen anyone that can't get at least 90 degrees a shoulder turn and feel pretty comfortable when they're doing it. The key to this is using your feet, your knees and your hips in the right way.

 

And that's exactly what I want to teach you in the Power Turn section. Once you start to learn how to use the lower body correctly, my shoulders just rotate automatically. I feel like I don't have to do anything and they're just flying back 90 degrees plus every single time. That's all my teach you in the Power Turn section.

 

So once you complete this video, I challenge you today to head on over to the power turn, go to the instruction tab, top speed golf system, then click on Power Turn and just do one video from level one. You're going to get well on your way to making that turn much more natural. Now, as you finish watching those videos and doing some of the drills, it doesn't take all that long.

 

In the grand scheme of things, you're going to get to where you just grab a golf club and you naturally swing. So every time I make a swing, if I'm not thinking about anything, I just go ahead and swing this club. I get more than nine degrees of shoulder turn without realize I'm doing that now. In the past I probably got around 70 degrees a shoulder turn and I felt pretty daggone stiff when I was doing it.

 

But now that I've learned the right way to do it, the way that I'm going to teach you, I just make a swing. It automatically happens. My driving distance went up 20, 30 yards on average after I learned the right way to do it and I can't wait to share it with you so head on over the power to our next has you work through level two and level three in the power turn completely natural, completely automatic.

 

And I can't wait to hear about the drives you start crushing after you make that happen. I'll see you in the power turn
