00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.659
Hey, what's up, Rotary Swing Golfers?
2
00:00:01.780 --> 00:00:03.319
Welcome back to this week's Tour
3
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:05.280
Analysis. I'm your instructor, Chris
4
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:07.700
Tyler, And this week we are going to be
5
00:00:07.700 --> 00:00:09.640
doing a showcase showdown here with two
6
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:10.880
of the world's best players,
7
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:13.779
Jason Day and Rory McIlroy, Who? We saw
8
00:00:13.779 --> 00:00:15.640
square off this past weekend at the Match
9
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:17.719
Play Championship in the semifinal match.
10
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:19.239
Where Jason Day was ultimately able to
11
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:21.120
prevail and then move on to the finals,
12
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:23.019
where he picked up his next victory out
13
00:00:23.019 --> 00:00:24.559
there. So congratulations to Jason Day.
14
00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:26.359
And this week we're going to be focusing
15
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:28.239
in on clubhead speed. A lot of people
16
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:29.820
come to the website really wanting to
17
00:00:29.820 --> 00:00:31.620
ramp up their clubhead speed. We're going
18
00:00:31.620 --> 00:00:32.899
to be focusing in on one of the most
19
00:00:32.899 --> 00:00:34.740
powerful moves that you can make in the
20
00:00:34.740 --> 00:00:36.479
golf swing to help get a good boost in
21
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:38.679
speed, and that is posting up and
22
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:40.500
releasing. I'm going to be talking about
23
00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:42.759
one really critical move. When you start
24
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:44.640
to post up, that's going to help you get
25
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:46.320
maximum speed at the bottom of the swing
26
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:47.560
art. Let's go ahead and get started now.
27
00:00:54.140 --> 00:00:55.899
Okay, guys. So as I said in the opener,
28
00:00:56.060 --> 00:00:58.039
we are going to be focusing in on speed
29
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.200
this week. And these are two really good
30
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.039
candidates to start showing you. One of
31
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:04.359
the more powerful moves that you can
32
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:06.500
start to add to your golf swing once
33
00:01:06.500 --> 00:01:07.760
you've started, to make sure that your
34
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:09.579
weight transfer is in place. Now, weight
35
00:01:09.579 --> 00:01:11.579
shift is extremely critical for the golf
36
00:01:11.579 --> 00:01:13.379
swing. And if you've started to master
37
00:01:13.379 --> 00:01:15.540
your weight shift from the right side
38
00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:17.439
back over to the left side, and you're
39
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:18.579
really starting to wake your legs up,
40
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:20.579
then this is a great move to start to be
41
00:01:20.579 --> 00:01:21.939
able to really increase that clubhead
42
00:01:21.939 --> 00:01:24.319
speed. So I will put a disclaimer at the
43
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:25.859
front of this and say that if you haven't
44
00:01:25.859 --> 00:01:28.299
mastered weight shift, Then you need to
45
00:01:28.299 --> 00:01:29.680
make sure that you have that stuff in
46
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.659
place before you start working on posting
47
00:01:31.659 --> 00:01:35.260
up properly. But posting up will be much
48
00:01:35.260 --> 00:01:37.579
easier with your weight moving over to
49
00:01:37.579 --> 00:01:38.799
your lead side. So let's go ahead and
50
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:40.019
take a look at things here. I'm going to
51
00:01:40.019 --> 00:01:41.299
go ahead and get both players up to the
52
00:01:41.299 --> 00:01:42.099
top of their swing.
53
00:01:42.780 --> 00:01:44.840
Okay, and you're going to see a very
54
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:46.579
similar style looking golf swings up to
55
00:01:46.579 --> 00:01:47.959
the top. Yeah, there is some minor
56
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:49.299
differences in the way they rotate.
57
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:50.659
There's some minor differences in the
58
00:01:50.659 --> 00:01:52.079
hand position at the top of the swing.
59
00:01:52.620 --> 00:01:54.079
Jason does use a little bit more
60
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:54.939
elevation here.
61
00:01:55.500 --> 00:01:57.500
Rory's tends to look a little bit flatter
62
00:01:57.500 --> 00:01:59.420
at the top of the swing. Again, both of
63
00:01:59.420 --> 00:02:01.340
these golfers have very, very good golf
64
00:02:01.340 --> 00:02:02.480
swings through the takeaway and the
65
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:04.640
backswing. Are there things that we might
66
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.120
change in the downswing to allow them to
67
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:07.760
be a little bit safer? Yeah, of course.
68
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:09.919
But again, we're not going to bash either
69
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:10.960
one of these players. They're both
70
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:12.419
extremely fun to watch.
71
00:02:13.620 --> 00:02:14.860
Jason's obviously battling with a little
72
00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:16.659
bit of a bulging disc issue right now in
73
00:02:16.659 --> 00:02:17.800
his back, And hopefully he gets that
74
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:19.419
resolved on the Sooners side so he can
75
00:02:19.419 --> 00:02:20.979
continue to grace us with his presence
76
00:02:20.979 --> 00:02:21.419
out there.
77
00:02:22.180 --> 00:02:24.659
So just taking a look at the big moves
78
00:02:24.659 --> 00:02:26.099
over to the lead side here, you're going
79
00:02:26.099 --> 00:02:27.500
to see it done a little bit differently
80
00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:30.500
from Jason and Rory. Rory is going to
81
00:02:30.500 --> 00:02:32.219
make a little bit more of what we call a
82
00:02:32.219 --> 00:02:35.319
squat move here. So if you watch his blue
83
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:37.240
shirt here, it's kind of peeking out
84
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:38.020
underneath the line.
85
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:40.439
What I want you to do is watch how he
86
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:42.780
sits into his lead side here. So you're
87
00:02:42.780 --> 00:02:44.860
going to see that it drops about maybe
88
00:02:44.860 --> 00:02:47.099
two to three inches as he's starting to
89
00:02:47.099 --> 00:02:49.000
work and shift his weight to his left
90
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:49.360
side.
91
00:02:50.139 --> 00:02:52.000
Now if you shift your attention over here
92
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.419
to Jason, you're going to see very little
93
00:02:54.419 --> 00:02:56.580
squat move here. His hips drop maybe
94
00:02:56.580 --> 00:02:57.680
about an inch or so,
95
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.719
maybe a half inch. Not a giant sit move
96
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:00.939
here.
97
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:03.580
Now a lot of you would probably ask me,
98
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:05.599
well, which one is better? Okay, so I
99
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.539
think of the squat move as more of a
100
00:03:07.539 --> 00:03:09.699
graduate level move. Not that Jason Day
101
00:03:09.699 --> 00:03:11.939
is not ready for a graduate level move.
102
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:13.960
He's just, he has balanced his golf swing
103
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:15.719
out with proper width, proper leverage,
104
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:17.639
and proper rotation. And he obviously
105
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.099
maximizes club head speed with his
106
00:03:20.099 --> 00:03:20.719
equation.
107
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.759
Rory has got tons of speed throughout the
108
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.240
golf swing. He's got good width. He's got
109
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:26.919
good leverage. He's got good rotation.
110
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.460
He's just, he's allowing himself to use a
111
00:03:30.460 --> 00:03:31.539
little bit more ground force in his
112
00:03:31.539 --> 00:03:31.740
swing.
113
00:03:32.460 --> 00:03:35.680
So if Jason was to run out of speed at
114
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:36.939
some point, which I don't foresee
115
00:03:36.939 --> 00:03:38.500
happening, and he wanted to add a little
116
00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:39.400
bit more ground force,
117
00:03:39.939 --> 00:03:41.520
then yeah, he might want to add a little
118
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:42.840
bit more of a squat move. But again, it's
119
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.139
not super imperative. The main thing here
120
00:03:45.139 --> 00:03:47.219
is that when you're making the shift over
121
00:03:47.219 --> 00:03:49.900
to your lead side, is that both players
122
00:03:49.900 --> 00:03:52.460
have maintained the flex in their legs.
123
00:03:52.939 --> 00:03:54.599
Okay, so they're making it, they're
124
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.520
making a giant shift over to the left
125
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.180
side and they're maintaining the flex in
126
00:03:58.180 --> 00:03:59.639
their knees. Rory's actually increasing
127
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.539
his just a little bit. Now, I used a big
128
00:04:02.539 --> 00:04:04.060
word here by talking to you guys about
129
00:04:04.060 --> 00:04:06.120
the big shift over to the left side.
130
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:08.560
This may look like there's a lot of
131
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:10.360
weight into their trail leg at this
132
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:12.340
point, but I can assure you that there's
133
00:04:12.340 --> 00:04:13.919
not a lot of weight over in this trail
134
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.800
side. I would call it probably about 30%
135
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:18.339
of their weight still in their right foot
136
00:04:18.339 --> 00:04:18.540
and
137
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:20.660
% of their weight in their left foot,
138
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:22.220
maybe even just a little bit more.
139
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:24.500
Now, when we start to make sure that we
140
00:04:24.500 --> 00:04:26.079
get our weight into that left side, this
141
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:27.100
is where we're going to start to make
142
00:04:27.100 --> 00:04:29.199
that big, powerful move. We're going to
143
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.839
start to drive this left heel into the
144
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:33.959
ground. Okay, so we've made a big shift.
145
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.240
Lead arm comes down to about parallel to
146
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:37.800
the ground. Shoulders are still wound up
147
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.720
a good 45 to 50 degrees. Once we feel
148
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:42.199
that weight hit that left heel,
149
00:04:42.740 --> 00:04:45.319
our job here is to be driving this heel
150
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:46.519
into the ground. So we're going to be
151
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.500
pushing that heel into the ground.
152
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.920
And we're also going to be using the left
153
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:54.639
obliques to start to rotate the hips away
154
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.319
from the target. Okay, so that driving of
155
00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:58.860
the left heel into the ground is making
156
00:04:58.860 --> 00:05:00.759
your leg work to a straighter position.
157
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:02.740
So that's going to cause you to go up.
158
00:05:02.860 --> 00:05:04.519
And when you're going up, the club should
159
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:06.860
be going down. Now that's exactly, you
160
00:05:06.860 --> 00:05:08.480
want to be moving in the exact opposite
161
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:09.819
direction of the golf club. That's how
162
00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:11.639
you really maximize efficiency. And
163
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:12.879
that's how you're going to maximize your
164
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.220
speed and consistency as well. So also
165
00:05:16.220 --> 00:05:17.959
with the hips rotating, they're rotating
166
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.360
away from the golf ball here. That's
167
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:21.800
moving you in the exact opposite
168
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:23.680
direction. That's also a great way to be
169
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:25.560
able to get the club moving at proper
170
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:26.699
speed with efficiency.
171
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.420
Okay, so you're going to see now, Here's
172
00:05:29.420 --> 00:05:31.379
the big key move here. With the post up
173
00:05:31.379 --> 00:05:34.120
is I want you to pay very close attention
174
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:37.879
to what both players' right legs do when
175
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:39.259
they're starting to post up and release
176
00:05:39.259 --> 00:05:39.620
the club.
177
00:05:40.740 --> 00:05:40.819
Okay,
178
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:43.379
so here we go. Left leg is starting to
179
00:05:43.379 --> 00:05:45.819
straighten. Okay, as they're driving that
180
00:05:45.819 --> 00:05:47.139
foot into the ground, they're working up.
181
00:05:47.220 --> 00:05:49.620
Watch this left leg on both sides. You're
182
00:05:49.620 --> 00:05:50.480
going to see that it starts to
183
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:50.839
straighten.
184
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:52.939
Okay, right at impact, it's at its
185
00:05:52.939 --> 00:05:54.680
straightest point. And then the club
186
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:56.279
releases. Now watch the right leg.
187
00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:59.560
See how it helps maintain the width
188
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:00.600
between the knees here.
189
00:06:01.500 --> 00:06:03.180
The club is extending out in front of
190
00:06:03.180 --> 00:06:03.680
their bodies.
191
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.439
And it keeps that width there long up to
192
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:09.860
where the hands are almost above their
193
00:06:09.860 --> 00:06:11.319
chest. And then you're going to see them
194
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:12.879
swivel up onto their right toe.
195
00:06:13.939 --> 00:06:16.699
That's the big key move there is being
196
00:06:16.699 --> 00:06:19.180
able to use the right side of the body as
197
00:06:19.180 --> 00:06:21.560
a break while the club is releasing in
198
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:23.600
front of you. A lot of times we see
199
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.279
amateur golfers tend to push off the
200
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:28.160
right leg, which can cause the body to
201
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.120
spin through the hitting area. And when
202
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:31.519
your body is spinning through the hitting
203
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:33.360
area, you are essentially you can be
204
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:36.899
delaying off your release. Or now you're,
205
00:06:36.939 --> 00:06:38.959
you're actually not allowing the club,
206
00:06:39.100 --> 00:06:40.060
the hands and the arms to act
207
00:06:40.060 --> 00:06:42.100
independently from the body. That means
208
00:06:42.100 --> 00:06:43.720
your arms and your club head are going to
209
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:45.160
be working at the same rate as the
210
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.160
rotation of your body. That's why we use
211
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.480
the right side of the body as a break to
212
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.180
be able to release the golf club. That is
213
00:06:51.180 --> 00:06:52.959
the one of the most critical moves in the
214
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.120
golf swing for producing club head speed
215
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:56.819
is that we want to be able to shift our
216
00:06:56.819 --> 00:06:58.620
weight, get on the brakes and let the
217
00:06:58.620 --> 00:06:59.360
club release.
218
00:06:59.899 --> 00:07:01.680
And both of these players do it extremely
219
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.680
well. Not saying that their bodies aren't
220
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:04.980
rotating. Okay. I know a lot of people
221
00:07:04.980 --> 00:07:06.920
have, have kind of come to bat at that
222
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:08.740
one, but they're, they have slowed their
223
00:07:08.740 --> 00:07:11.319
lower half down to the point where now
224
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:12.920
they can let the club release. And that's
225
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:14.259
part of the kinetic chain. That's any
226
00:07:14.259 --> 00:07:15.720
hitting or throwing sport. You'll see
227
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:17.680
that the body tends to come to a stall
228
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.040
point and then the delivery point from
229
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:22.100
the throwing or hitting motion. It's a
230
00:07:22.100 --> 00:07:23.500
really, really great way to be able to
231
00:07:23.500 --> 00:07:25.339
create efficiency and the speed
232
00:07:25.339 --> 00:07:26.100
department. So
233
00:07:26.719 --> 00:07:27.899
for those of you guys that have been
234
00:07:27.899 --> 00:07:29.240
struggling with this, definitely work on
235
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:30.420
making sure that you shift your weight
236
00:07:30.420 --> 00:07:33.240
left, Use that left foot to post up by
237
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:34.980
pushing that thing into the ground and
238
00:07:34.980 --> 00:07:36.180
then get on the brakes to that right
239
00:07:36.180 --> 00:07:37.620
side. When you're releasing the club and
240
00:07:37.620 --> 00:07:38.660
you're going to see that you have tons of
241
00:07:38.660 --> 00:07:38.959
speed.
242
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:41.139
Okay guys. So thanks again for tuning
243
00:07:41.139 --> 00:07:42.939
into this week's video. For those of you
244
00:07:42.939 --> 00:07:44.339
that are joining us on the website, I've
245
00:07:44.339 --> 00:07:46.240
got some really, really great premium
246
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.259
videos that are going to help you work on
247
00:07:48.259 --> 00:07:50.660
your sit move into that lead side. It's
248
00:07:50.660 --> 00:07:51.740
actually called sitting into the left
249
00:07:51.740 --> 00:07:53.240
side. We've got the roll of the right
250
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:54.319
foot in the down swing, which you'll hear
251
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:56.319
me talk a lot about. We've also got the
252
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:57.959
straight left legged impact. That's a
253
00:07:57.959 --> 00:07:58.899
video that's going to talk to you about
254
00:07:58.899 --> 00:08:00.300
how to get some good muscle engagement
255
00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:02.980
onto that left side and how to really
256
00:08:02.980 --> 00:08:04.339
work that left leg into that straight
257
00:08:04.339 --> 00:08:06.120
position. So you can start to work on
258
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.139
your release. All of these videos that
259
00:08:08.139 --> 00:08:09.339
I'm mentioning are going to be to the
260
00:08:09.339 --> 00:08:10.899
right hand side of the video player,
261
00:08:10.899 --> 00:08:12.939
underneath the Recommended Videos tab.
262
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.139
Just click that tab. All the videos will
263
00:08:15.139 --> 00:08:17.079
start to populate. Also, another good
264
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:18.379
video that a lot of people started to get
265
00:08:18.379 --> 00:08:20.220
some good success with. It's a video that
266
00:08:20.220 --> 00:08:21.779
I did that talked about fixing weight
267
00:08:21.779 --> 00:08:23.959
transfer. So I would suggest that you
268
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:25.139
work on making sure that you're
269
00:08:25.139 --> 00:08:26.500
transferring your weight over to your
270
00:08:26.500 --> 00:08:29.360
lead side, then start to work on posting
271
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:31.540
up and releasing the club and you will
272
00:08:31.540 --> 00:08:33.779
start to see a very, very good size
273
00:08:33.779 --> 00:08:35.840
increase in club head speed. So get your
274
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:36.620
weight transfer down,
275
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.299
post it up, get on the brakes and release
276
00:08:39.299 --> 00:08:40.799
that thing and you should be playing some
277
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:42.139
of your best golf in 2016.
