You’ve Been Learning the Golf Swing in the WRONG Order
Giles Gill presents a reverse approach to learning the golf swing by establishing impact and follow-through mechanics before focusing on the backswing. He explains how transferring 85-90% of pressure to the lead side with proper upper body tilt secures crisp ball-then-ground contact. Through the 'Connect the Dots' drill and alignment stick setups, golfers learn simple routines to control low point and improve consistency.
Move 85% to 90% of your pressure onto your lead leg at impact while maintaining upper body tilt away from the target.
Use alignment sticks to mark stance center and lead foot inner edge to verify your head stays behind the ball during weight shift.
Practice the 'Connect the Dots' drill, gradually increasing backswing length while finishing consistently in an 8 o'clock follow-through.
Set your lead arm and club shaft in one straight line at address to support structural integrity into impact.
