Hello everyone, Chuck Quentin here,
2
00:00:02.339 --> 00:00:04.780
founder of Rotary Swing Golf. And I
3
00:00:04.780 --> 00:00:06.660
wanted to do a swing review here that's a
4
00:00:06.660 --> 00:00:07.919
little bit different than what you
5
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:09.519
typically see. We've done a lot of Tour
6
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:11.080
Pro reviews and those types of things,
7
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:14.439
But I wanted to show you how. A lot of
8
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:16.280
other professionals, who aren't
9
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:18.739
necessarily on the PGA Tour yet or LPGA
10
00:00:18.739 --> 00:00:21.039
Tour yet, are employing the RST
11
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:23.199
fundamentals in their golf swings. And
12
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:24.780
this is a perfect example. This is a
13
00:00:24.780 --> 00:00:28.359
young lady named Daisy Nielsen, And she
14
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:31.399
exemplifies so many RST traits that you
15
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.479
see in my golf swing or in other Tour Pro
16
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:36.960
swings, or more importantly, what I talk
17
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:38.340
about in the videos. And so it's always
18
00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:40.359
nice to see from a different person's
19
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:42.920
perspective, a different golf swing, what
20
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:44.320
we're talking about in so many of these
21
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:45.799
fundamentals of swings. The first thing I
22
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:48.859
want to do is play her swing back. I'll
23
00:00:48.859 --> 00:00:51.740
do it, play it back in slow motion, but
24
00:00:51.740 --> 00:00:53.740
play it through one time so you can see
25
00:00:53.740 --> 00:00:53.899
it.
26
00:00:55.700 --> 00:00:57.659
Lots of good things going on. Great turn.
27
00:00:58.420 --> 00:00:59.840
A little across the line at the top,
28
00:00:59.939 --> 00:01:00.979
we'll talk about that more in a second,
29
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:03.600
but really the big thing I want to talk
30
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:05.459
about is this great post up and release,
31
00:01:05.540 --> 00:01:06.439
because really at the end of the day,
32
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:07.620
that's what the golf swing is all about
33
00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:09.120
is we want to release that club with
34
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.599
unleash the fury, I like to call it.
35
00:01:12.340 --> 00:01:13.900
So I'm going to walk you through this
36
00:01:13.900 --> 00:01:15.959
step by step here and talk about some of
37
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:17.180
the great things in the swing and some of
38
00:01:17.180 --> 00:01:18.280
the things that can be improved, But
39
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:20.340
you're going to notice that Daisy's swing
40
00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:22.400
looks pretty much like most other great
41
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:24.459
ball strikers out there. And that's
42
00:01:24.459 --> 00:01:26.799
because all the Tour pros who are great
43
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:28.459
ball strikers use the exact same
44
00:01:28.459 --> 00:01:30.120
fundamentals you're learning on Rotary
45
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:30.920
Swing.com.
46
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:32.959
So let's talk about what some of those
47
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:34.920
are. As we go back during the takeaway,
48
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:36.659
you'll notice we always like to talk
49
00:01:36.659 --> 00:01:38.000
about when the club's parallel to the
50
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:38.379
ground,
51
00:01:38.900 --> 00:01:40.840
that the club should be towed up and
52
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:42.760
right over the toes. This is a camera
53
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:44.599
angles a little bit off here. And there's
54
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:46.420
a couple little tweaks that I would make
55
00:01:46.420 --> 00:01:48.099
here, but this is negligible, the club is
56
00:01:48.099 --> 00:01:49.959
slightly towed in, almost towed up,
57
00:01:50.099 --> 00:01:51.959
that's exactly in the range that we want
58
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:53.700
to see, we either want to be towed up or
59
00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:54.700
slightly towed in.
60
00:01:55.379 --> 00:01:56.760
Our right arm is starting to fold a
61
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:58.420
little bit early here, but it's
62
00:01:58.420 --> 00:02:00.219
negligible, everything in the big picture
63
00:02:00.219 --> 00:02:02.519
scheme of things works, But it can cause
64
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:04.340
you to stop turning, and many amateur
65
00:02:04.340 --> 00:02:06.019
golfers start folding this right arm and
66
00:02:06.019 --> 00:02:08.219
right wrist early, and that stops the
67
00:02:08.219 --> 00:02:09.719
turn because they start focusing on
68
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:11.259
loading up the right arm instead, which
69
00:02:11.259 --> 00:02:13.879
obviously we don't want to do. So lots of
70
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:15.360
good things going on here in the
71
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:15.740
takeaway.
72
00:02:16.880 --> 00:02:19.539
Keep going back, club gets a little bit
73
00:02:19.539 --> 00:02:21.219
inside again, negligible stuff.
74
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.180
Halfway back, she's in a good position.
75
00:02:26.099 --> 00:02:28.120
As she nears the top, I mentioned
76
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:29.580
earlier, she gets just a little bit
77
00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:31.979
across the line. You can totally recover
78
00:02:31.979 --> 00:02:33.879
from this position. The tendency is going
79
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.780
to be for you to come a little bit too
80
00:02:36.780 --> 00:02:39.639
far from the inside and have to rotate
81
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.879
the hands a little aggressively, but you
82
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:43.780
can always, you know, you can recover
83
00:02:43.780 --> 00:02:45.300
from here. It's not a big, big deal.
84
00:02:46.300 --> 00:02:47.740
The big thing that you're going to notice
85
00:02:47.740 --> 00:02:49.439
that I want to really focus on here is
86
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.819
the transition. And one of the things
87
00:02:51.819 --> 00:02:54.039
that I talk about in a video, you hit the
88
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.360
ball with your legs, Talks about this
89
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:58.360
post up move and how critical it is, and
90
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.319
how it creates so much of your power in
91
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.020
the swing. And I'm going to, and she
92
00:03:02.020 --> 00:03:03.020
illustrates it perfectly.
93
00:03:03.659 --> 00:03:06.500
Right here, a great squat move
94
00:03:06.500 --> 00:03:07.960
transition. So I've talked about the
95
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.240
video squat to square. She's illustrating
96
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.000
it perfectly. A lot of people want to do
97
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.219
the squat move and make it this giant sit
98
00:03:14.219 --> 00:03:17.159
down. It's not a giant sit down. This is
99
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:19.500
really ideal. This is all the flexion you
100
00:03:19.500 --> 00:03:21.879
need to load up your legs to be able to
101
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:23.680
spring off them as you come down. So
102
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.599
you'll see once we get here, she's about
103
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:28.879
squared back up with her hips. This is
104
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:30.379
squat to square and this is where it
105
00:03:30.379 --> 00:03:32.560
should bring the club down for you.
106
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.879
Without you having to overuse your arms,
107
00:03:35.060 --> 00:03:36.960
you're going to be using your lower body
108
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:38.740
to unwind the downswing. So if you look
109
00:03:38.740 --> 00:03:40.199
at that squat to square video, this is
110
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:41.860
exactly what it's all about because this
111
00:03:41.860 --> 00:03:44.159
is setting her up for the next critical
112
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.699
move, which is what I talk about in the
113
00:03:46.699 --> 00:03:48.020
video you hit the ball with your legs,
114
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.659
how she's going to post up for power. So
115
00:03:50.659 --> 00:03:52.680
club's in a good position here. Maybe
116
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.180
dropped a hair from the inside. She's a
117
00:03:54.180 --> 00:03:56.300
little bit too far from the inside here,
118
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.080
but just going to tend to create a little
119
00:03:58.080 --> 00:03:59.539
bit of a push draw, which is totally
120
00:03:59.539 --> 00:04:02.479
fine. But this is the big move. I want
121
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:05.219
you to watch her lower body. Just focus
122
00:04:05.219 --> 00:04:07.419
on the lower body, her legs. And watch
123
00:04:07.419 --> 00:04:09.379
how that left leg and the right leg
124
00:04:09.379 --> 00:04:12.560
straighten up as she jumps off the ground
125
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:13.780
effectively. Now she's not actually
126
00:04:13.780 --> 00:04:14.900
leaving the ground. She's not hitting the
127
00:04:14.900 --> 00:04:18.839
ball that hard. But this is what it means
128
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:20.939
to post up and release the club. And the
129
00:04:20.939 --> 00:04:23.139
timing of it is really ideal. She's
130
00:04:23.139 --> 00:04:25.139
posting up as she's releasing the club.
131
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:29.319
And that leads her around to a perfect
132
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.480
follow through. So this is what you're
133
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:33.779
looking for. Now from face on, I'm going
134
00:04:33.779 --> 00:04:35.300
to show you what this looks like from the
135
00:04:35.300 --> 00:04:37.879
face on position. Okay. So now from the
136
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.800
face on view, I'm going to move this
137
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:42.459
swing over here on the right to the
138
00:04:42.459 --> 00:04:44.560
impact position so we can have them
139
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.680
compared side by side here.
140
00:04:47.219 --> 00:04:49.160
We'll go back just a couple frames.
141
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:54.339
Close enough there. Now from face on,
142
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.339
I'm not going to get into critiquing her
143
00:04:57.339 --> 00:04:58.660
swing too much here because she does a
144
00:04:58.660 --> 00:04:59.939
lot of great things. A couple of little
145
00:04:59.939 --> 00:05:01.959
things here, obviously, as you'll notice
146
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:04.459
as she goes to the top, she's starting to
147
00:05:04.459 --> 00:05:07.379
kind of hang on that left side there. And
148
00:05:07.379 --> 00:05:09.199
so the tendency, notice how her spine
149
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:13.199
angle leaning a little bit toward the
150
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:13.879
target here.
151
00:05:15.179 --> 00:05:16.980
And if you start to drive very
152
00:05:16.980 --> 00:05:18.699
aggressively off that right side, you're
153
00:05:18.699 --> 00:05:20.060
going to end up in front of the ball and
154
00:05:20.060 --> 00:05:20.920
then you're going to really start
155
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:22.459
blocking it. And since she already has a
156
00:05:22.459 --> 00:05:24.579
tendency to get across the line, she has
157
00:05:24.579 --> 00:05:26.800
to be really quiet as she starts down to
158
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:28.579
keep from dropping the club too far
159
00:05:28.579 --> 00:05:30.680
underneath. But she does a great job of
160
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.879
keeping her head from moving too far out
161
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.240
in front. And then because she posts up
162
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.120
so well, she stays back behind it.
163
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:39.360
Technically her head's out a little bit
164
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:40.899
in front of the ball there, but she's
165
00:05:40.899 --> 00:05:42.759
going to push off that left leg to get
166
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:44.259
back behind it here. And that's what I
167
00:05:44.259 --> 00:05:45.879
want you to focus on. So focus on her
168
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:46.699
left leg here.
169
00:05:47.219 --> 00:05:51.319
And watch as she posts up, what does that
170
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:53.279
look like? And we'll go through really
171
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:54.199
slowly here.
172
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:56.560
You'll notice that her left leg is
173
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:58.939
actually moving backwards. I'm going to
174
00:05:58.939 --> 00:06:00.660
draw a little line here so you can kind
175
00:06:00.660 --> 00:06:03.800
of get an idea of what that looks like.
176
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:09.139
So watch the left leg and watch it move
177
00:06:09.139 --> 00:06:11.540
back as the hip moves back and her leg
178
00:06:11.540 --> 00:06:14.000
straightens up. She is pushing off the
179
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.279
ground with her left leg to not only push
180
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.939
her hip up and down, but to push her leg
181
00:06:18.939 --> 00:06:21.180
back or, excuse me, push her hips back.
182
00:06:21.420 --> 00:06:23.160
Why is that? Well, I've talked about a
183
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:24.759
million times in the push versus pull
184
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:26.019
videos and all the physics
185
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:28.740
videos I've done on Rotary Swing.com,
186
00:06:28.819 --> 00:06:31.019
which is you're always trying to move
187
00:06:31.019 --> 00:06:32.939
your body in the opposite direction you
188
00:06:32.939 --> 00:06:33.759
want to move the club.
189
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:35.939
Which way is the club moving in this
190
00:06:35.939 --> 00:06:39.279
instance? It's moving down toward the
191
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:40.319
ball, of course, because it's starting
192
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:42.500
from up here in the air, and it's moving
193
00:06:42.500 --> 00:06:44.939
out away from the golfer. So it's moving,
194
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:46.360
if we look at it this way, it's moving
195
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:48.759
down, didn't want to do that there.
196
00:06:50.100 --> 00:06:51.060
Sorry about that.
197
00:06:52.779 --> 00:06:58.040
It's zoom out here or not. There we go.
198
00:06:58.500 --> 00:07:00.259
It's the club is moving this way.
199
00:07:01.239 --> 00:07:02.199
Wrong angle.
200
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:05.860
Here we go.
201
00:07:06.379 --> 00:07:10.319
All right. Club is moving down this way
202
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:13.379
and it's all down and out away from the
203
00:07:13.379 --> 00:07:14.879
golfers is moving in this direction. So
204
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:16.740
these two directions, you want to be
205
00:07:16.740 --> 00:07:19.139
moving the exact opposite of those two
206
00:07:19.139 --> 00:07:21.000
with your body. That's how you're using
207
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:22.800
centripetal and centrifugal force to work
208
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.819
for you. So that's why you see her left
209
00:07:25.819 --> 00:07:27.920
knee moving back, and of course, it's
210
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:29.500
posting perfectly in a neutral, which is
211
00:07:29.500 --> 00:07:31.660
exactly where it's supposed to be. Notice
212
00:07:31.660 --> 00:07:33.860
how her right foot rolls to the inside.
213
00:07:33.980 --> 00:07:35.100
You've heard me say that a million times.
214
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:36.639
And especially if you've attended one of
215
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.420
my golf clinics, you know that every time
216
00:07:38.420 --> 00:07:39.699
your right heel comes up in the air
217
00:07:39.699 --> 00:07:40.660
during the clinic, you owe me a hundred
218
00:07:40.660 --> 00:07:41.000
bucks.
219
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:43.839
So this is perfect because she's not
220
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:46.719
pushing hard off that right foot. She's
221
00:07:46.719 --> 00:07:49.180
pushing hard off the left foot. And that
222
00:07:49.180 --> 00:07:50.959
is moving the left hip back, the right
223
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:53.519
foot stays down, rolls into the inside,
224
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:55.620
and then she's released the club fully.
225
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:57.399
You can see her left glove here already
226
00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:59.160
because the club face is rotated over,
227
00:07:59.259 --> 00:08:00.819
which is exactly what it's supposed to
228
00:08:00.819 --> 00:08:02.699
do. You should never be trying to hold
229
00:08:02.699 --> 00:08:05.259
that golf club face square to the target.
230
00:08:05.379 --> 00:08:09.339
You must release it. So another great RST
231
00:08:09.339 --> 00:08:12.139
fundamentals-based golf swing. And if you
232
00:08:12.139 --> 00:08:12.860
want to learn how to do these
233
00:08:12.860 --> 00:08:14.399
fundamentals, you've got to work through
234
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.420
the RST five-step system. That's what
235
00:08:16.420 --> 00:08:17.839
you're learning. So when you look at her
236
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:19.279
release of the club, what are you
237
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:21.060
learning there? Five minutes to the
238
00:08:21.060 --> 00:08:22.519
perfect release video. You're learning
239
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:24.579
how to post up here properly. What are
240
00:08:24.579 --> 00:08:24.939
you learning?
241
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:28.019
You hit the ball with your legs, creating
242
00:08:28.019 --> 00:08:30.000
lag, all these things. The RST five-step
243
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:31.439
system is going to show you how to swing
244
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:33.340
exactly like this, exactly like the tour
245
00:08:33.340 --> 00:08:34.799
pros you see every day on TV.

"I started playing at 70 years old,
at the beginning I was scoring around 100 plus... Following the RST 5 Step System
my scores are in the 80 to 86 range. I am out-hitting guys in their 40's and 50's,
thanks to you and your system. My back or other muscles never ache, nor am I tired after
