My Favorite Rotation Drill for Backswing & Downswing | Complete Guide

How are you doing weight shift though? From back swing to down swing what are you feeling or what is your body doing to get that shift

This drill was an absolute game changer for me. I've always had trouble with my weight shift. This was the best explanation I've ever seen or gotten, and I've been taking lessons for the past couple months at $80 an hour!

Best video on clearing the hips so far

After 10 month of golfing maube i will stop swaying good video

This is brilliant, thank you for explaining the feel so well

Wry good. Really nice lesson. I’m plus 1 and still struggle getting trapped on my left side going through

What is the easiest way to match this up with a shallowing move. I usually get steep when I try.

Probably one of your best lessons. So important for ball contact. Thank you!

Thank you very much pro. so I can realize how body move during back to drown swing...thank again..

Too much talking about the same thing without getting to the point

Definitely the best golf video I’ve ever seen. Such a simple and easy explanation that makes so much sense. Thank you sir!

Great video Clay! Thanks for all of your great instruction.

Thanks bro!

fully turning around a centered spine......without a mirror or a camera and you knowing what to look for............it takes effort and the feeling is quite strange........golf is hard.

Excellent drill for not overusing arms❤

Today, I watch your video and learn to swing. It seems like the best point lesson. thank you

Awesome education and teaching instructions! Thanks!

Some years ago during a lesson, a pro suggested that I not straighten my right leg during the backswing to allow more loading into the right side.. You don't seem to worry about that so much as you swing back and thru. Is that one of those 'manipulations' you mention?

What a great golf lesson. I’ll start practicing these chain link exercise techniques until they become second nature. Wow!!! Just what I need to start using my lower body a lot more in my golf swing. Much appreciated.

Is there a modification for this for senior golfers? I'm having more success with my driver if my lead foot is stationed back half a shoe or so. In other words, my lead toe is aligned with my trail instep.

Clay, lookin' good! Looks like you've spent some time in the weight room. Lookin' like a linebacker to me! Great instruction, as always!

This pump drill video was exactly what I was looking for to help with my hip rotation. Took it to the range and immediately saw results. Love the videos and your explanation of moves. Keep them coming

This is great. Maybe the best explanation I've ever seen. Thanks for the content. New subscriber here.

clay, i just watched the 'natural positioning move' free video and it's like you opened the secret, it worked instantly. i remember it being mentioned years ago in harvey penick's "little red book" but never got it till now. it's like holy cow!!! i'm gonna sign up, again thnx so much.

clay, this is what i've been working on for the last couple of years but haven't been able to perfect a good pivot move, this is really gonna help, thnx.

thumbs down on the ending. lame. just another way to feel something is my guess.

Clay, could use lead foot and trail foot )(for us lefties). Love the videos,

I think this the 3rd time I've watched this. It helps to watch it every once in awhile to keep from falling back into the old habits.

Dude is a gifted teacher and player

Does this work for driver?

You’re still the best!

I tell my wife all the time golf should be renamed Frustration Ball.

Great so important. It’s always what teach in a first lesson. Some great ideas!

Great drill! One question, the piston drill should be initiated by the upper body or the legs, I.e. the lower body? Thanks!

Clay ... does the left knee really just point straight out during the backswing? Doesn’t it break in a fraction? Excellent video!!

So on the downswing this model is the opposite to the force pedal model where you press your lead ball of the foot down? (Don't a lot players end the downswing on the toes eg Justin Thomas?) Thanks.

So glad you clarified that weight shift is small.

Gonna go home and try the “Beyoncé Single Ladies” piston move. Should help my golf and my swag game 😂

My only “issue” with this videos and almost all videos alike is that the people executing the demonstration have been swinging golf clubs for years. Give this exact same instruction to someone who is horrible at golf and it doesn’t quite translate the same. With all that being said, I’m heading to the range to practice this now. I hope it helps

Emphasis on a back and forth piston movement is more descriptive and effective than the idea of a weight shift. Good lesson!

Very simple and easy to understand the basics. Thank you.

hi Clay, yet again brilliant video. As a single figure handicapper i have never found rotation easy, this lazy rotation and poor weight shift i think has always stopped me getting down to scratch. that along with being 340llbs doesn't help me though. again brilliant instructional video and easy to follow. thank you
