00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:08.859
hey guys unfortunately Tiger Woods missed
2
00:00:08.859 --> 00:00:12.460
the cut at the 2019 British Open and he
3
00:00:12.460 --> 00:00:14.660
revealed a lot about the changes that are
4
00:00:14.660 --> 00:00:17.320
happening to his body and his time as
5
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:18.699
he's gotten older and Tiger and I are the
6
00:00:18.699 --> 00:00:20.559
same age we're both 43 and we both have
7
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:22.500
one other thing in common that is we've
8
00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:23.940
both had a lot of spine surgeries I've
9
00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:26.079
had four cervical spine surgeries in fact
10
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:29.559
I'm fused at C12 and 3 but now why can I
11
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:31.859
go out and hammer 200 yard seven irons
12
00:00:31.859 --> 00:00:34.600
all day pain-free no effort not feel
13
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:36.780
fatigue and Tiger's struggling to make it
14
00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:39.340
through 18 holes in golf it's one reason
15
00:00:39.340 --> 00:00:41.520
and I'm going to talk about it today and
16
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.340
I'm going to help you prevent this same
17
00:00:43.340 --> 00:00:46.079
back issue so that you can play pain-free
18
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.799
powerful effortless golf for the rest of
19
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.799
your career so what's going on with
20
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:53.740
Tiger's swing well first let me back up
21
00:00:53.740 --> 00:00:55.780
just a little bit and talk about how
22
00:00:55.780 --> 00:00:58.140
Tiger's changes over time have had a huge
23
00:00:58.140 --> 00:01:00.979
impact on what he's doing back in 2010 I
24
00:01:00.979 --> 00:01:02.600
published a video on YouTube it's still
25
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:03.880
up there I put a link down in the
26
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:05.239
description if you want to take a look at
27
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:07.459
it and I talked about how the changes
28
00:01:07.459 --> 00:01:08.500
that he was making with his new
29
00:01:08.500 --> 00:01:09.959
instructor that I felt were going to be
30
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:11.640
detrimental to his swing now
31
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:14.519
unfortunately I was right and so now you
32
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:16.340
look at Tiger's game now and he's had all
33
00:01:16.340 --> 00:01:17.959
these back problems that he never had
34
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:20.000
before that in his career and I'm going
35
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:21.659
to explain to you why that is today it's
36
00:01:21.659 --> 00:01:23.659
two common reasons one I talk about a lot
37
00:01:23.659 --> 00:01:25.219
in that video about how the downswing
38
00:01:25.219 --> 00:01:28.420
motion that he changed to caused a lot of
39
00:01:28.420 --> 00:01:29.760
back it should create a tremendous amount
40
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:31.579
of sheer force and stress on his spine
41
00:01:31.579 --> 00:01:33.000
but today I'm going to talk about a
42
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.920
backswing motion that's actually causing
43
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.239
his lumbar pain and how you if you have
44
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:38.900
low back pain in your swing there's
45
00:01:38.900 --> 00:01:40.159
several reasons I'm going to put one up
46
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:41.459
in the bonus video later at the end of
47
00:01:41.459 --> 00:01:42.659
this video and down in the description
48
00:01:42.659 --> 00:01:44.439
but I'm going to talk about something
49
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:46.560
specific today that many golfers are
50
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:47.920
doing and in fact many golfers are being
51
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:51.319
taught this and it's causing tons of back
52
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.200
pain and it's totally preventable with
53
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.859
one simple change now in a moment I'm
54
00:01:55.859 --> 00:01:58.120
going to put my swing up up against
55
00:01:58.120 --> 00:01:59.379
Tiger's and you're going to see that
56
00:01:59.379 --> 00:02:01.379
they're shockingly similar the swing that
57
00:02:01.379 --> 00:02:02.900
rotary swing teaches and the swing that
58
00:02:02.900 --> 00:02:05.099
Tiger does for the most part when we talk
59
00:02:05.099 --> 00:02:07.299
about the core body movements are very
60
00:02:07.299 --> 00:02:10.080
very similar but there's one very subtle
61
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.539
but very very important difference and
62
00:02:12.539 --> 00:02:14.000
it's the difference between playing pain
63
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:14.659
-free golf
64
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.300
and hurt having back pain every single
65
00:02:18.300 --> 00:02:20.020
time you step out on the course if you
66
00:02:20.020 --> 00:02:21.520
don't want back pain listen up because
67
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:22.979
I'm going to make this really simple for
68
00:02:22.979 --> 00:02:24.240
you and you're going to feel and
69
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.759
experience this right now in fact I'm
70
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:28.840
going to show you and help you feel what
71
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.300
Tiger's back is feeling like so one of
72
00:02:31.300 --> 00:02:32.620
the things I talk about a lot with rotary
73
00:02:32.620 --> 00:02:35.039
swing we talk about keeping the joints in
74
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:37.000
neutral especially the spine we have a
75
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.520
full panel of orthopedic and world
76
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:39.979
-leading neurosurgeons on our medical
77
00:02:39.979 --> 00:02:41.599
panel have helped us look at the spine
78
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.960
and the golf swing and how do we prevent
79
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.919
back pain how do we protect the body so
80
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:48.560
that it's moving safely and efficiently
81
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:50.840
as best it can in the golf swing one of
82
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:51.879
the things I've talked about a lot is
83
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:53.439
primary balancing joints and you've heard
84
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:54.879
me talk about this the most when it comes
85
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.319
to setup many golfers are taught to set
86
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.240
up on the balls of their feet now I've
87
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:00.539
talked about the reasons why you
88
00:03:00.539 --> 00:03:02.319
shouldn't do this many times and I'll put
89
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.020
a link down into the description for a
90
00:03:05.020 --> 00:03:06.419
video that you can reference for I'm not
91
00:03:06.419 --> 00:03:08.340
going to go in full depth about it but I
92
00:03:08.340 --> 00:03:10.060
want you to feel this for yourself very
93
00:03:10.060 --> 00:03:11.680
quickly so hop up while you're watching
94
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.280
this video and I want you to put all of
95
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.219
your weight on the left ball of your foot
96
00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:17.719
100% assuming you're a right-handed
97
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.060
golfer of course and I want you to now
98
00:03:20.060 --> 00:03:22.500
turn your hip to a full follow-through
99
00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:25.800
and I want you to tell me what you feel
100
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.740
as you're doing this well you're going to
101
00:03:28.740 --> 00:03:30.259
feel that there's a lot of weight on the
102
00:03:30.259 --> 00:03:31.460
ball of your foot of course but you're
103
00:03:31.460 --> 00:03:32.840
going to start to notice that there's
104
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.800
strain and tension on your left knee I'll
105
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:37.099
do it face on so you can see the same
106
00:03:37.099 --> 00:03:38.960
thing so I'm going to put all my weight
107
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:40.419
on the ball of my foot my heel is
108
00:03:40.419 --> 00:03:41.960
actually almost slightly up in the air
109
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:44.400
and I'm just turning like I'm trying to
110
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.139
get to a full follow-through this is very
111
00:03:46.139 --> 00:03:48.360
uncomfortable if you keep doing this back
112
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.180
and forth and then I'm doing it slow much
113
00:03:50.180 --> 00:03:51.659
less doing it the speed that you do it in
114
00:03:51.659 --> 00:03:53.840
a golf swing it creates a tremendous
115
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.099
amount of strain on your knee in fact
116
00:03:56.099 --> 00:03:57.800
this is one of the reasons in my opinion
117
00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:59.340
that Tiger had a lot of knee problems
118
00:03:59.340 --> 00:04:01.919
earlier in his career is he used to set
119
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.280
up on the balls of his feet and then keep
120
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:05.300
his weight on the ball of his foot you'd
121
00:04:05.300 --> 00:04:06.860
actually notice him jump up in the air
122
00:04:06.860 --> 00:04:08.460
and pivot his foot like this when he was
123
00:04:08.460 --> 00:04:10.419
hammering a driver while that does give
124
00:04:10.419 --> 00:04:11.900
you a lot of vertical ground force it's
125
00:04:11.900 --> 00:04:15.439
also torquing that knee is not necessary
126
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.319
we set you up where your body is designed
127
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.240
to bear a load over the center of your
128
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:21.800
ankles and more importantly at impact
129
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:25.220
that ankle is driving all of my force is
130
00:04:25.220 --> 00:04:27.100
driving through that foot down into the
131
00:04:27.100 --> 00:04:29.240
ground and that shifts my primary
132
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.199
balancing joint from my knee to my hip
133
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.000
socket guess what your hips designed to
134
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.800
do look at all this rotation external
135
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:38.720
rotation mobility internal rotation
136
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:40.240
mobility this is all coming from my hip
137
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.000
socket my knee I got about a degree and a
138
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.360
half of rotation that's not very much so
139
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:46.720
when you're on the ball of your foot your
140
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.439
primary balancing joint shifts from your
141
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.600
hip socket where it's designed to pivot
142
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.139
to your knee that's not designed to pivot
143
00:04:53.139 --> 00:04:54.939
very much at all and so that's why you
144
00:04:54.939 --> 00:04:57.339
create a tremendous amount of stress on
145
00:04:57.339 --> 00:04:59.740
your knee now Tiger's doing the same
146
00:04:59.740 --> 00:05:03.360
thing to his low back and especially if
147
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:04.980
you've had low back problems low back
148
00:05:04.980 --> 00:05:06.779
surgeries the last thing on earth that
149
00:05:06.779 --> 00:05:09.839
you'd ever want to do is move in a way
150
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:11.180
that's going to put more stress on that
151
00:05:11.180 --> 00:05:13.660
lower the lumbar area now what is he
152
00:05:13.660 --> 00:05:15.939
doing that's causing that simple just
153
00:05:15.939 --> 00:05:17.480
keep standing up I want you to feel this
154
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:18.939
because you're going to know exactly what
155
00:05:18.939 --> 00:05:20.879
Tiger's back feels like in two seconds so
156
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.420
I want you to put your weight 50 50 maybe
157
00:05:23.420 --> 00:05:24.920
hang on the left side just a little bit
158
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.360
this is one of the things that Tiger took
159
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.379
from his old instructor that he's kept in
160
00:05:29.379 --> 00:05:31.379
his swing that he didn't do earlier in
161
00:05:31.379 --> 00:05:32.439
his career when he didn't have back
162
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.319
problems and just now he hangs a little
163
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:36.699
bit more on the left side as he goes back
164
00:05:36.699 --> 00:05:39.620
so I want you to do this say let's let's
165
00:05:39.620 --> 00:05:41.019
say you're going to be 60 on the left
166
00:05:41.019 --> 00:05:44.300
side 40 on the right and now just turn as
167
00:05:44.300 --> 00:05:46.160
far as you can without shifting any
168
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:47.980
weight at all and tell me what you feel
169
00:05:47.980 --> 00:05:48.839
well
170
00:05:50.280 --> 00:05:52.639
without moving in my weight to one hip
171
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:55.399
socket or the other I'm no longer going
172
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:57.279
to shift on one hip socket it's designed
173
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:58.920
to rotate I'm taking these out of my
174
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:00.860
swing and I'm essentially making my
175
00:06:00.860 --> 00:06:02.839
primary balancing joint my pelvis and my
176
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.500
sacrum my lumbar area so if I don't move
177
00:06:05.500 --> 00:06:07.959
my weight at all oh gosh I'm comfortable
178
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:11.459
doing it slow much less fast and all of
179
00:06:11.459 --> 00:06:14.399
my pain and discomfort and tension is
180
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.040
coming to my lumbar you should feel this
181
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:17.800
as well if you hang on the left side a
182
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:19.579
little bit more and try and turn not only
183
00:06:19.579 --> 00:06:22.100
will you lose mobility but you're going
184
00:06:22.100 --> 00:06:24.300
to feel a tremendous amount of sheer
185
00:06:24.300 --> 00:06:26.459
force and discomfort in your lumbar area
186
00:06:26.459 --> 00:06:29.540
now let's do the opposite what rotary
187
00:06:29.540 --> 00:06:31.360
swing teaches instead of staying
188
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:32.779
perfectly centered and not letting your
189
00:06:32.779 --> 00:06:34.839
hip shift at all I'm going to let my
190
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.879
weight shift to my right hip socket put
191
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:39.360
my weight on my right hip jocks where
192
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.079
this is my primary balancing joint and
193
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:44.920
now hey look at that I don't in fact look
194
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:46.860
there's mountains back there I have no
195
00:06:46.860 --> 00:06:49.259
pain no discomfort in fact now I feel all
196
00:06:49.259 --> 00:06:51.579
the load is on my right hip socket just
197
00:06:51.579 --> 00:06:53.060
by letting my weight transfer to the
198
00:06:53.060 --> 00:06:54.939
right instead of hanging on the left or
199
00:06:54.939 --> 00:06:57.339
staying centered I can make this huge
200
00:06:57.339 --> 00:07:00.500
shoulder turn with no problem whatsoever
201
00:07:00.500 --> 00:07:04.939
weight shift is a fundamental of any
202
00:07:04.939 --> 00:07:06.800
hitting or throwing sport and with rotary
203
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.259
swing we want your weight to shift to the
204
00:07:09.259 --> 00:07:10.860
right so that your primary balancing
205
00:07:10.860 --> 00:07:12.779
joint moves to your hip socket that's
206
00:07:12.779 --> 00:07:16.019
designed to do this internal rotation if
207
00:07:16.019 --> 00:07:17.519
you stay centered and don't let your
208
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:20.019
weight shift at all you're now taking all
209
00:07:20.019 --> 00:07:22.100
of that stress and you're putting it all
210
00:07:22.100 --> 00:07:22.779
in your low back
211
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:25.399
it's not designed to do that your lumbar
212
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:27.819
spine has very little rotation most of
213
00:07:27.819 --> 00:07:29.740
the rotation in the golf swing is going
214
00:07:29.740 --> 00:07:31.240
to happen in your thoracic your mid and
215
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.680
upper back you need every single joint to
216
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.139
be in neutral so these facet joints don't
217
00:07:37.139 --> 00:07:39.019
bind against each other because you only
218
00:07:39.019 --> 00:07:40.500
have about a degree and a half degree
219
00:07:40.500 --> 00:07:42.439
degree and a half of rotation on each
220
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:44.800
vertebrae now as soon as you lock your
221
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.100
lumbar in place and you no longer now
222
00:07:47.100 --> 00:07:48.819
you're relying on that for some rotation
223
00:07:48.819 --> 00:07:50.279
where there's very little movement there
224
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:52.319
and you're thoracic without letting your
225
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:54.759
weight shift to the right all of that
226
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:56.759
load is being transferred straight into
227
00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:58.939
your lumbar if you don't want low back
228
00:07:58.939 --> 00:08:01.319
pain you must let your weight shift and
229
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.120
again you can feel this for yourself
230
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:04.899
you're going to take my word for it a
231
00:08:04.899 --> 00:08:06.860
little bit of shift to the right weights
232
00:08:06.860 --> 00:08:08.439
on the right I feel all the load in my
233
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:10.759
glute my hip sock is designed to do this
234
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:13.980
all day long and I feel nothing nothing
235
00:08:13.980 --> 00:08:16.959
in my lumbar spine that's the difference
236
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.060
with rotary swing we look at the swing
237
00:08:19.060 --> 00:08:21.100
from the inside out literally the inside
238
00:08:21.100 --> 00:08:23.339
the inside not just the inside of you
239
00:08:23.339 --> 00:08:25.019
know your shoulders versus your arms
240
00:08:25.019 --> 00:08:27.259
we're literally looking at your spine the
241
00:08:27.259 --> 00:08:29.879
joints the ligaments the tendons all of
242
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:31.300
the stuff that's going to make it so that
243
00:08:31.300 --> 00:08:32.940
you can swing powerfully safely and
244
00:08:32.940 --> 00:08:35.159
efficiently is the difference with rotary
245
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:36.899
swing versus anything else that's why we
246
00:08:36.899 --> 00:08:38.659
have a medical panel so we have phd
247
00:08:38.659 --> 00:08:41.080
biomechanics on our medical panel to help
248
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:42.899
us look at the swing to so that you can
249
00:08:42.899 --> 00:08:44.960
swing safely powerfully and efficiently
250
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:48.299
now I wanted to put tiger swing up next
251
00:08:48.299 --> 00:08:49.480
to mine because I'm going to show you how
252
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:51.620
subtle this difference is when you look
253
00:08:51.620 --> 00:08:53.220
at how rotary swing is teaching how to
254
00:08:53.220 --> 00:08:54.940
rotate the way that your body is designed
255
00:08:54.940 --> 00:08:56.919
to do it versus trying to do something
256
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:03.419
that isn't healthy for your spine all
257
00:09:03.419 --> 00:09:09.659
right so I have taken tiger swing here
258
00:09:09.659 --> 00:09:12.039
and cut it out so that you can see uh
259
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:14.179
next to me in the webinar I was just
260
00:09:14.179 --> 00:09:16.419
demonstrating these moves to rotary swing
261
00:09:16.419 --> 00:09:18.059
academy students how simple the golf
262
00:09:18.059 --> 00:09:19.340
swing really is and when you're learning
263
00:09:19.340 --> 00:09:21.059
it from a rotary swing tour perspective
264
00:09:21.059 --> 00:09:23.399
there's only four really key moves that
265
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:25.019
you've got to do that I'm going to walk
266
00:09:25.019 --> 00:09:26.960
you through in a second but first I want
267
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:28.799
to show you just how subtle and simple
268
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.080
having a really bad back and a lot of
269
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.299
back pain playing golf is and completely
270
00:09:33.299 --> 00:09:36.759
avoiding back pain and make sure that you
271
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:38.379
pay close attention to this and make sure
272
00:09:38.379 --> 00:09:39.639
you got up and you felt the little
273
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:40.980
movements that I was talking about just a
274
00:09:40.980 --> 00:09:42.940
moment ago because this is going to be a
275
00:09:42.940 --> 00:09:45.440
game changer if you have low back pain so
276
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:47.399
I'm going to draw a vertical lineup from
277
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:49.240
the center of my ankle that's a reference
278
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:50.820
point that we use for neutral joint
279
00:09:50.820 --> 00:09:52.740
alignment and then I'm going to do the
280
00:09:52.740 --> 00:09:55.080
exact same with tigers what do you notice
281
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:58.279
well very subtly there's maybe an inch
282
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:00.179
gap maybe inch and a half give or take a
283
00:10:00.179 --> 00:10:03.299
little bit between my butt cheek and this
284
00:10:03.299 --> 00:10:05.779
line center of my ankle and tigers is
285
00:10:05.779 --> 00:10:07.700
actually on it or even slightly in front
286
00:10:07.700 --> 00:10:08.960
of it so maybe there's an inch and a half
287
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:11.899
two inch gap here all this means is he's
288
00:10:11.899 --> 00:10:13.399
got more weight on the left side we had
289
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:15.600
force plates under him you'd see that
290
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:17.919
it'd be more weight on the left and of
291
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.620
course this restricts the hip turn you
292
00:10:20.620 --> 00:10:21.940
can see here you can see a lot more
293
00:10:21.940 --> 00:10:23.519
tigers belt buck I'm wearing a black belt
294
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.419
it's harder to tell but you can see more
295
00:10:25.419 --> 00:10:28.299
of my for a lack of a better way of
296
00:10:28.299 --> 00:10:31.220
putting it my glute sticking out over
297
00:10:31.220 --> 00:10:33.120
here whereas tigers you can't see he's
298
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.720
just not turned as much so this line is
299
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:38.759
all that's showing back pain versus no
300
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:41.299
back pain because all I've done is allow
301
00:10:41.299 --> 00:10:43.039
my weight to shift to the right slightly
302
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:45.299
shift my primary balancing joint to this
303
00:10:45.299 --> 00:10:47.740
right hip socket that allows my hips to
304
00:10:47.740 --> 00:10:50.019
rotate a little bit more freely and now
305
00:10:50.019 --> 00:10:53.440
the strain on my lower back is completely
306
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:56.840
gone just by having this very subtle inch
307
00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:58.799
and a half difference now some of you are
308
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.100
going to say hey wait a second if I shift
309
00:11:01.100 --> 00:11:03.080
my hips to the you know to the right
310
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:05.799
aren't I sliding or swaying no does it
311
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:08.679
look like I swayed here that I slid no of
312
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:10.659
course not in fact if you want to get
313
00:11:10.659 --> 00:11:13.899
really specific about it let's look at
314
00:11:13.899 --> 00:11:16.960
the difference in angles of my right leg
315
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:19.000
which is if this right leg was vertical
316
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:22.559
you would see the big hip slide and 81
317
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:25.620
degrees is the angle of this right leg
318
00:11:25.620 --> 00:11:28.399
now let's do the same thing with tigers
319
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.440
and move this over a little bit hey look
320
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:34.539
at that they're practically identical so
321
00:11:34.539 --> 00:11:38.080
no I haven't swayed I haven't slid all
322
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.059
I've done is allow my pelvis to shift
323
00:11:40.059 --> 00:11:41.840
naturally to the right rather than
324
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:44.399
hanging on the left side maintained my
325
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:48.740
axis tilt which is this line here tigers
326
00:11:48.740 --> 00:11:51.179
you can draw a line on his spine angles
327
00:11:51.179 --> 00:11:54.240
are virtually the same so no head
328
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:57.159
movement no sway no slide it's just
329
00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:59.879
learning how to shift correctly in the
330
00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:01.500
backswing that will make the difference
331
00:12:01.500 --> 00:12:04.379
between you having back pain or not
332
00:12:04.379 --> 00:12:06.679
having back pain if you don't want to
333
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:08.500
have back pain in your swing you must
334
00:12:08.500 --> 00:12:11.320
allow yourself to shift naturally just
335
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:12.860
like I've demonstrated here and the
336
00:12:12.860 --> 00:12:14.399
difference is incredibly subtle it
337
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:15.600
doesn't look like I've done anything
338
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:17.759
crazy here and I'm going to show you in
339
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:19.740
just a moment how the rest of the swing
340
00:12:19.740 --> 00:12:21.259
that rotary swing teaches is virtually
341
00:12:21.259 --> 00:12:23.039
identical to what tiger's doing let's
342
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:24.440
step through a couple frames and take a
343
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.820
look so we're going to go down the next
344
00:12:26.820 --> 00:12:28.120
frame so again this is me just
345
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:29.559
demonstrating this in the webinar but of
346
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:32.100
course my swing is I can't do anything
347
00:12:32.100 --> 00:12:33.019
different than what I'm demonstrating
348
00:12:33.019 --> 00:12:35.620
it's all the same stuff so now you're
349
00:12:35.620 --> 00:12:37.200
going to notice because tiger was hung
350
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.379
more on that left side and we'll use that
351
00:12:39.379 --> 00:12:42.200
vertical line there just to again he's a
352
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:44.379
little bit further closer into neutral
353
00:12:44.379 --> 00:12:46.080
joint alignment than I am because I made
354
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:47.600
a little bit of shift to the right which
355
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:49.019
means I got to make a little bit of shift
356
00:12:49.019 --> 00:12:51.080
to the left you can see that there's a
357
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:52.659
little gap between my belt he's a little
358
00:12:52.659 --> 00:12:54.399
bit in front of with the belt otherwise
359
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:57.840
the moves are virtually identical and
360
00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:59.840
then we'll go forward just a little bit
361
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:00.299
more
362
00:13:02.220 --> 00:13:05.480
halfway down hey look at that virtually
363
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:09.580
identical and then as we go forward into
364
00:13:09.580 --> 00:13:13.080
the post up move hey look at that this is
365
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.980
all exactly the same as some of the best
366
00:13:15.980 --> 00:13:18.299
ball strikers in the world they all move
367
00:13:18.299 --> 00:13:20.820
the same way from the inside out now you
368
00:13:20.820 --> 00:13:23.419
can find variations in arm plane and you
369
00:13:23.419 --> 00:13:25.759
know shaft plane and club face angle and
370
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:27.799
things like that but the body the body is
371
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:29.299
what generates the power the body is what
372
00:13:29.299 --> 00:13:32.159
allows me to hit 300 yard drives and 200
373
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:33.679
yard seven irons and it's going to be
374
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.779
what allows you to do the same thing
375
00:13:35.779 --> 00:13:38.120
you're going to learn how to move exactly
376
00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:41.220
like this when you are a member of rotary
377
00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:43.059
swing you only have to learn four
378
00:13:43.059 --> 00:13:46.100
critical moves but first let's get rid of
379
00:13:46.100 --> 00:13:47.879
this back pain let's I'm going to want
380
00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:49.759
you to take a look at this bonus video
381
00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:51.220
I'm going to post up in the description
382
00:13:51.220 --> 00:13:52.620
down below if you're watching this on
383
00:13:52.620 --> 00:13:53.440
YouTube where you're going to see a
384
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:55.419
little i-card up in the corner and it's
385
00:13:55.419 --> 00:13:56.879
going to take you to a bonus video that's
386
00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:58.740
going to show you how to properly shift
387
00:13:58.740 --> 00:14:00.620
your weight just like tiger woods or any
388
00:14:00.620 --> 00:14:03.700
other pro on the planet although tiger is
389
00:14:03.700 --> 00:14:04.980
not shifting correctly so if you don't
390
00:14:04.980 --> 00:14:07.019
want back pain you need to shift like
391
00:14:07.019 --> 00:14:09.559
tiger used to but in this video it's
392
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:11.039
going to talk about this right hip line
393
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:13.059
and how critical it is to get your weight
394
00:14:13.059 --> 00:14:14.559
over there so you can make a full turn
395
00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:17.179
and take all of the strain off your
396
00:14:17.179 --> 00:14:20.240
lumbar if you don't want back pain do you
397
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.460
trust your swing to anybody else you have
398
00:14:22.460 --> 00:14:24.019
to look at it from a biomechanical
399
00:14:24.019 --> 00:14:25.500
perspective the way that rotary swing
400
00:14:25.500 --> 00:14:28.659
does and tiger can avoid this back pain
401
00:14:28.659 --> 00:14:30.740
and you can avoid the same fate as tiger

"I think he's come very close
to a golf swing model that appears to be ideal...It's a big muscle, motor-driven swing
that's repeatable...You don't have to be a super athlete."

"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
18 holes. I am so glad I found your technique and system."
