1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.240
common questions I get is who's a good
2
00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:04.879
role model for rotary swing on the tour
3
00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:06.580
and of course as I've explained many
4
00:00:06.580 --> 00:00:09.560
times almost every single tour player
5
00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:11.679
uses the rotary swing tour fundamentals
6
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:14.400
that's what makes them tour players they
7
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:16.620
all use the same core fundamentals and
8
00:00:16.620 --> 00:00:18.260
you're gonna see the things that we call
9
00:00:18.260 --> 00:00:20.019
fundamentals and the things that we call
10
00:00:20.019 --> 00:00:22.640
variables in the swing in every tour
11
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:24.719
players swing in this case we're gonna
12
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:27.339
look at Billy Horschel and in his swing
13
00:00:27.339 --> 00:00:30.140
he does just about everything spot-on
14
00:00:30.140 --> 00:00:31.420
he's a couple little things I'm gonna
15
00:00:31.420 --> 00:00:33.799
point out we're gonna focus primarily on
16
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:36.240
the backswing that a couple point things
17
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:37.600
I'm gonna point out in the downswing that
18
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:40.399
he does that are not necessarily exactly
19
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:42.240
ideal but he's such a great player such a
20
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:43.700
great ball striker and has so many good
21
00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:45.200
fundamentals in a swing he's a great
22
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.640
example to look at so first we're just
23
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:49.159
gonna run through setup real quick
24
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:52.340
obviously most tour pros get this one
25
00:00:52.340 --> 00:00:53.539
right and this is one of the most
26
00:00:53.539 --> 00:00:55.439
overlooked things that every single
27
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.539
amateur gets wrong they don't seem to
28
00:00:57.539 --> 00:01:01.219
realize how much of an impact setup has
29
00:01:01.219 --> 00:01:03.460
on your golf swing but in the case of
30
00:01:03.460 --> 00:01:06.299
Billy's setup just about everything here
31
00:01:06.299 --> 00:01:08.280
is spot-on so all the things that I've
32
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:09.879
talked about millions and millions of
33
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:12.060
times and all the videos draw a straight
34
00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:13.879
line down from his chin where does his
35
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.719
right-hand line literally right on his
36
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.579
chin line now he tends to be a little bit
37
00:01:19.579 --> 00:01:22.379
more forward on the balls of his feet as
38
00:01:22.379 --> 00:01:25.000
do quite a few tour pros like Adam Scott
39
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.400
is a good example but as you'll notice as
40
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:29.480
they come back down into impact though
41
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:31.680
won't be over there the balls of their
42
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.939
feet in his case he's pretty much stacked
43
00:01:34.939 --> 00:01:36.659
over here just about perfect a little bit
44
00:01:36.659 --> 00:01:39.459
more forward but again because he moves
45
00:01:39.459 --> 00:01:41.239
really well he gets back over that ankle
46
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:42.420
when it really matters when you're
47
00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:44.719
putting a lot of stress on that knee the
48
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:46.319
back this is one of the things where I
49
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.299
see so many average golfers amateur
50
00:01:49.299 --> 00:01:51.780
golfers really get this wrong they have a
51
00:01:51.780 --> 00:01:54.500
lot of curvature in their lower spine and
52
00:01:54.500 --> 00:01:56.400
then they make up for it by rounding
53
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.500
their upper spine and so you get into
54
00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:01.120
this really awful position that makes it
55
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.299
virtually impossible for you to make a
56
00:02:03.299 --> 00:02:06.480
full rotation so as far as setup goes
57
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.520
just about everything here is on the
58
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:10.539
money and this is a great example for you
59
00:02:10.539 --> 00:02:12.879
to look at Billy's setup is really really
60
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.379
good now let's start looking at the
61
00:02:15.379 --> 00:02:17.240
things that most golfers look at and
62
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:18.580
instructors look at start looking at the
63
00:02:18.580 --> 00:02:20.400
swing plane and especially as it applies
64
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.560
to the takeaway what you'll notice is
65
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.060
that as he takes the club back everything
66
00:02:26.060 --> 00:02:29.479
here is all systems go so we're going to
67
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.080
start walking back here go club goes
68
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:33.539
right back on plane and then a little bit
69
00:02:33.539 --> 00:02:36.300
above he has a little bit of early wrist
70
00:02:36.300 --> 00:02:38.639
set and you can see that here when the
71
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.479
club gets in line with his hands it gets
72
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:42.599
a little bit above it's just a little bit
73
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:44.939
of early wrist set that causes this again
74
00:02:44.939 --> 00:02:47.280
not a huge deal everything else is
75
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.479
looking great here so the clubs going
76
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:51.800
right back through his through above the
77
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:53.099
plane line right through his hands so
78
00:02:53.099 --> 00:02:54.860
many amateur golfers start ripping the
79
00:02:54.860 --> 00:02:57.180
club back inside and it's just taking
80
00:02:57.180 --> 00:03:00.219
that right wrist and flexing it back this
81
00:03:00.219 --> 00:03:02.479
way bending it back on itself as if
82
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.120
you're twisting a motorcycle throttle as
83
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:05.759
soon as you do that you shut the face and
84
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:07.539
roll it to the inside and that's a death
85
00:03:07.539 --> 00:03:09.360
move the great thing you can see in
86
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:10.800
Billy's right wrist here is that it's
87
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.120
pretty nice and flat still and that's
88
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:14.520
because he just simply hasn't done
89
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.439
anything with it note how straight his
90
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:18.319
right arm is here it's not rigid and
91
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.620
locked out but it's straight like we talk
92
00:03:20.620 --> 00:03:22.900
about all the time and he's made a nice
93
00:03:22.900 --> 00:03:24.800
turn and hasn't smashed that left arm
94
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:26.319
across his chest you can still see
95
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.180
there's space here versus so many golfers
96
00:03:29.180 --> 00:03:30.659
take that left arm and just start pushing
97
00:03:30.659 --> 00:03:32.580
it across the chest it forces the right
98
00:03:32.580 --> 00:03:34.759
arm to bend and then you see the left arm
99
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:36.699
smashed up against the chest everything
100
00:03:36.699 --> 00:03:39.080
here spot-on he's starting to pull that
101
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:40.819
right shoulder blade back making a nice
102
00:03:40.819 --> 00:03:42.800
turn everything his shoulders are turning
103
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.300
perpendicular to his spine right knee
104
00:03:45.300 --> 00:03:47.319
flex another big one that so many golfers
105
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:49.680
goof up he's maintaining that knee flex
106
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.039
as he goes back now as we keep walking it
107
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.419
further back everything here halfway back
108
00:03:54.419 --> 00:03:56.860
is great hands are right just behind the
109
00:03:56.860 --> 00:03:58.060
chest right in front of the center of the
110
00:03:58.060 --> 00:03:59.740
chest they will start to work behind a
111
00:03:59.740 --> 00:04:01.840
little bit here that's what they need to
112
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.099
do he's maintaining that knee flex clubs
113
00:04:05.099 --> 00:04:06.759
still on plane everything looking good
114
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:08.800
he's making a big turn here you can still
115
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.060
see his chest and so many other golfers
116
00:04:11.060 --> 00:04:12.500
when he starts swinging that left arm
117
00:04:12.500 --> 00:04:14.620
across the body that their hands end up
118
00:04:14.620 --> 00:04:17.000
way over here and then we're in big big
119
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:18.480
trouble trying to get back down from
120
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.019
there keep walking all the way back
121
00:04:21.019 --> 00:04:24.980
everything here is absolutely spot-on if
122
00:04:24.980 --> 00:04:26.379
you look at the five minutes to the
123
00:04:26.379 --> 00:04:28.160
perfect backswing video one of the things
124
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.839
that I do is I draw a line on the base
125
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:32.319
the right elbow and say it should be
126
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.000
right about the base of the pec is like a
127
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:38.300
good kind of average for most golfers and
128
00:04:38.300 --> 00:04:40.899
you can see that his elevation is right
129
00:04:40.899 --> 00:04:42.500
on the money here this is just about
130
00:04:42.500 --> 00:04:44.100
exactly where Tiger Woods or Trevor
131
00:04:44.100 --> 00:04:46.680
Emelman would be and everything here is
132
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.040
spot-on perfect rotary swing tour all the
133
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:50.519
drills you see me demonstrate in that
134
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:52.360
five minutes the perfect backswing video
135
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.480
he's demonstrating here perfectly the
136
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:56.199
angle of the wrist angle the club club
137
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.259
face arms it's all spot-on and yes he's
138
00:04:59.259 --> 00:05:00.819
still maintaining that knee flex
139
00:05:00.819 --> 00:05:03.100
everything here is perfect one of the
140
00:05:03.100 --> 00:05:04.420
little thing I want to draw your
141
00:05:04.420 --> 00:05:05.660
attention to for those of you who had
142
00:05:05.660 --> 00:05:07.759
tendency to over rotate your hips and get
143
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:09.939
too active with your lower body I can see
144
00:05:09.939 --> 00:05:13.279
a big space between your knees here and
145
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:14.939
here you can't and that's just because he
146
00:05:14.939 --> 00:05:16.620
hasn't over rotated his hips of course
147
00:05:16.620 --> 00:05:19.740
and by maintaining that knee flex he it
148
00:05:19.740 --> 00:05:22.199
causes a restriction that makes it very
149
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:23.899
difficult for you to over rotate your
150
00:05:23.899 --> 00:05:25.620
hips and get into that issue where you
151
00:05:25.620 --> 00:05:27.199
start having to spin your hips on the way
152
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.860
down so this is again everything here
153
00:05:29.860 --> 00:05:33.180
spot-on perfect RST fundamentals we'll
154
00:05:33.180 --> 00:05:34.740
keep walking him back now one thing
155
00:05:34.740 --> 00:05:35.879
you'll notice is he gets a little bit
156
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:37.600
long and across the line here at the top
157
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:39.100
that's just a little bit of extra wrist
158
00:05:39.100 --> 00:05:41.819
cock he's just gonna loading up here
159
00:05:41.819 --> 00:05:43.360
right you know he's got the the big dog
160
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:44.800
in his hands he's having a little bit of
161
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.120
extra wrist set in there gonna lead to
162
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.040
some extra power if he can control it
163
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.480
which of course he can and so he gets a
164
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:52.800
little bit long but you'll notice right
165
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:54.800
away he gets right back into the perfect
166
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.139
RST fundamental position right there
167
00:05:57.139 --> 00:06:00.240
during the transition that's as good as
168
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.500
it gets folks elbows right back where
169
00:06:02.500 --> 00:06:04.420
it's supposed to be club chat or club
170
00:06:04.420 --> 00:06:06.160
face and wrist angle and arm all
171
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.600
perfectly square he's working on getting
172
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:10.660
his weight back to his left everything
173
00:06:10.660 --> 00:06:13.540
here is on the money and as he keeps
174
00:06:13.540 --> 00:06:15.860
coming down this is where he starts to
175
00:06:15.860 --> 00:06:18.259
deviate a little bit and again he's doing
176
00:06:18.259 --> 00:06:21.579
it just to add power and my foot does the
177
00:06:21.579 --> 00:06:23.220
same thing when I'm really going after a
178
00:06:23.220 --> 00:06:25.339
drive I don't really like that I do it
179
00:06:25.339 --> 00:06:26.740
because it does cause me to lose a little
180
00:06:26.740 --> 00:06:29.420
bit of control but when I'm really going
181
00:06:29.420 --> 00:06:32.319
after a big hit I will my right hip well
182
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:33.560
my hips will start to spin a little bit
183
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.000
faster and that speeds everything up and
184
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:37.420
as long as everything's synced up I know
185
00:06:37.420 --> 00:06:38.839
where it's going but when I get a little
186
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:40.720
off I don't well I do know where it's
187
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:42.899
going it's going right so in this case
188
00:06:42.899 --> 00:06:44.040
you know he's getting a little bit
189
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:45.259
aggressive getting that heel up in the
190
00:06:45.259 --> 00:06:47.300
ground up in the air early again most
191
00:06:47.300 --> 00:06:48.800
tour players when they're going after it
192
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:50.839
with a driver you'll see this you won't
193
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:52.579
see that with the irons the heel will
194
00:06:52.579 --> 00:06:54.980
stay down but this is a power move when
195
00:06:54.980 --> 00:06:56.540
you're trying to speed everything up his
196
00:06:56.540 --> 00:06:59.060
hips are going to get very very open and
197
00:06:59.060 --> 00:07:01.459
amazingly as such great flexibility and
198
00:07:01.459 --> 00:07:03.720
separation and fundamentals that he's
199
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:05.819
still able to keep his shoulders shut
200
00:07:05.819 --> 00:07:07.420
this late in the downswing when most
201
00:07:07.420 --> 00:07:09.300
amateurs already wide open at this point
202
00:07:09.300 --> 00:07:11.779
especially if they have this much hip
203
00:07:11.779 --> 00:07:14.459
rotation but he does a great job
204
00:07:14.459 --> 00:07:16.019
maintaining everything and getting the
205
00:07:16.019 --> 00:07:18.019
club back down in front of his body using
206
00:07:18.019 --> 00:07:19.939
his arms the left arm pulling the right
207
00:07:19.939 --> 00:07:22.379
arm throwing to get that club back out in
208
00:07:22.379 --> 00:07:24.660
front of the chest and you can also note
209
00:07:24.660 --> 00:07:26.420
one other thing that I mentioned earlier
210
00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:30.459
note how far his left hip is back behind
211
00:07:30.459 --> 00:07:32.360
his ankles if we went back to the
212
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.220
beginning real quick here you'll note
213
00:07:35.220 --> 00:07:36.819
that his left hip is actually moved
214
00:07:36.819 --> 00:07:39.839
further back this way away from the
215
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:41.300
target during the downswing and this is
216
00:07:41.300 --> 00:07:43.399
what I mentioned yes he starts out a
217
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:44.980
little bit more on the balls of his feet
218
00:07:44.980 --> 00:07:47.279
but then he works very hard to get his
219
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:49.100
hips back and as well now you can tell
220
00:07:49.100 --> 00:07:51.040
his weight is clearly moved back to the
221
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:52.620
left over his ankle he's definitely not
222
00:07:52.620 --> 00:07:55.720
on the ball of his foot here so again a
223
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:58.420
little bit of a change at setup to be a
224
00:07:58.420 --> 00:07:59.519
little bit more on the balls of his feet
225
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:01.740
but like Adam Scott he goes right back to
226
00:08:01.740 --> 00:08:03.519
his ankle at impact from the stress is
227
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.740
the highest and when it really matters as
228
00:08:05.740 --> 00:08:07.439
far as impact goes everything's perfect
229
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.040
straight right arm release in the heck
230
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:10.779
out of that clubface you can see his left
231
00:08:10.779 --> 00:08:13.360
knuckles have already rolled under talk
232
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:15.019
about that and some of the impact and
233
00:08:15.019 --> 00:08:17.120
release videos of rolling those knuckles
234
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.139
under to square up and release the
235
00:08:19.139 --> 00:08:20.860
clubface and that's why the right arm is
236
00:08:20.860 --> 00:08:22.519
so extended and straightened out here
237
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:24.560
he's releasing the heck out of that
238
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:26.300
clubface and that's the best feeling in
239
00:08:26.300 --> 00:08:28.000
golf is when you can rotate and release
240
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:29.860
that club as hard as you want and you
241
00:08:29.860 --> 00:08:31.339
never have to worry about the ball going
242
00:08:31.339 --> 00:08:33.559
way left on you so as far as Billy
243
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:36.399
Horschel swing it's a great one to copy
244
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:37.799
he's definitely going after this when you
245
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:39.419
see his left foot rolled over there he
246
00:08:39.419 --> 00:08:42.039
went after it but he has so many great
247
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:43.539
fundamentals in his golf swing so if
248
00:08:43.539 --> 00:08:45.080
you're looking for somebody to copy and
249
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.179
base your swing off to learn RST Billy
250
00:08:48.179 --> 00:08:49.379
Horschel is a great example
