So Tom Watson, major winner and still going strong on tour at his age, doesn't know what he's talking about? He's hit more golf balls than we've had hot dinners, so I reckon he might just have a clue. Also, your comment about 'tour players don't do it like that' is pointless. 99% of folks learning on YouTube are not tour players, just normal weekend golfers. This tip helped me and, looking at the comments, a lot of others. Btw, the tip is from at least one tour pro who DOES hit it like that.

Listen, I am pissed about my back, so I am going to give you all the secret for free. You MUST play in the subconscious, not the conscious.

I can't believe the negative comments and advertising here. This is good advise and one of the many parts of a sound swing.

Tom should be ashamed to play at Angeles National Golf Club! About 10 employees are suing for sex and anti-Jewish discrimination! They are an embarrassment to the PGA!

Tom is absolutely right, but he is forgetting that most amateur golfers lack the flexibility to turn their body that way.

More terminology; Just think of turning around an axis...An axis does not move. Also learn not to reach for the ball, stand tall, knees slightly flexed and turn your shoulders around the axis!!

Imagine two dowl rods sticking up out of the ground the same height as you are and outside and just behind your pinky toe. You need to make your backswing and down swing inside that area. Your target side hip will touch and press the forward dowl 6 to 8 inches toward the target. Weight transfers from the inside right foot at the top to inside left foot first, then you swing through. The matching shoulder angles is great dead on description of this complex move.

it's not even really "spine angle". it's turning your shoulders how he describes, as well as having your shoulders be parallel to the clubshaft. if you hold a club straight out in front of you, shaft lying level to the ground and toe pointing straight up, the only way to swing and keep the club level to the ground is if your shoulders turn level too. Since you bend over, your shoulders must still turn "level", but in the sense that you are turning level while bent over.

Yup, spine angle is the major key wiithout a doubt. When I start to hit poorly and do other bad things I just go back to maintaining good spine angle that fixes most of it. Spine angle fixes so many of the other tips like.. keep your head down, stay in the shot, clear the hips, swing plane, etc. All of that happens automatically when you maintain proper spine angle. Now... if I could just figure out how to maintain spine angle consistantly.... Lol

after a year and a half of searching and becoming a student of my own swing, i am at the point where this exact "tip" or "feeling" has made a RIDICULOUS improvement in my ball striking. i too was so damn inside out from all these stupid tips about hitting a draw and coming from here or dropping the shoulder there. what a load of nonsense. God bless you tom, from another kansas city born and bred.

Wow. No. Just no. Tour players don't start the swing with just the hips anymore. They drop the hands and clear the hips at the same time. Super g proved that. So you're wrong there. And keeping the right shoulder back while leading with the lower body will create a flip hook, proved by biomechanics and Ben Hogan. Where are you getting this shit from? You're so wrong its crazy.

cockywatchman1976 Says:
UH, yes 99% of people who try this will. Its a very poor tip for the average player. Sure, great swing thought for Tom. Not for your average slicer who'll be reading this...theyd be much better off thinking keeping the right shoulder back and moving just the lower body. But if your happy with it, go for it. Weight and set up has bugger all to do with what Im talking about

You're such an idiot.

GolfMatthew Says:
Uh. No you won't. If your weight shift is proper, which Tom is assuming it is, then this is great advice. The ONLY way this will make you come OTT is if your weight shift and/or setup is poor.
