Description
Congrats to Billy Horschel on his victory of the 3rd leg of the Fedex Cup Playoffs. In this new video, I'll show you 3 key areas of his swing that allow him to be deadly accurate off the tee and coming into the green. You will see keys points for the setup, backswing and impact. Hitting more fairways will allow you to hit way more greens in regulation. Lets see how one of the best players in the world does it.
Video Practice Points
- Right elbow needs to face away at address
- Keep the forearms and elbows close together to help keep the right elbow from getting deep and behind the body.
- Keep the lead shoulder down in the hitting area for solid contact

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.699
Billy Horschel gets a win at the third
2
00:00:01.699 --> 00:00:04.240
FedEx playoff event at the BMW this past
3
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:05.959
weekend. I'm going to be showing you guys
4
00:00:05.959 --> 00:00:07.799
three key moves of his golf swing. That
5
00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:09.759
allows him to hit it further than 90% of
6
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:11.300
the players out on tour, And I'm also
7
00:00:11.300 --> 00:00:12.419
going to show you how you can put it to
8
00:00:12.419 --> 00:00:13.960
use in your golf game so you can hit more
9
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:15.720
fairways and more greens. Let's go ahead
10
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:16.199
and get started.
11
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:24.760
Okay, So the always loud and exciting
12
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:26.460
Billy Horschel picks up the third event
13
00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:28.079
of the FedEx Cup playoff series, so
14
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.000
congratulations to Billy. We've done some
15
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.640
analysis on him in the past, and we've
16
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.380
really said how much we like his golf
17
00:00:33.380 --> 00:00:35.539
swing, and he's got a lot of RST
18
00:00:35.539 --> 00:00:37.299
fundamentals really embedded in his golf
19
00:00:37.299 --> 00:00:39.100
swing. And this week, I want to focus in
20
00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:40.920
on three critical areas of his golf swing
21
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:42.200
that allow him to be one of the more
22
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.039
accurate players on tour as far as
23
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:46.340
driving the ball, and then also he's
24
00:00:46.340 --> 00:00:49.320
fourth in greens and regulations, so when
25
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:50.979
you're hitting more fairways you're going
26
00:00:50.979 --> 00:00:53.700
to be more apt to hit more greens, and
27
00:00:53.700 --> 00:00:55.500
that makes golf a lot more enjoyable,
28
00:00:57.060 --> 00:00:59.259
and he does a lot of good things to keep
29
00:00:59.259 --> 00:01:00.799
things very consistent throughout his
30
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:01.899
golf swing. So we're going to take a good
31
00:01:01.899 --> 00:01:03.640
close look at those things today, and
32
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:04.980
from a down the line perspective what
33
00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:06.400
you're going to see, I'm going to draw an
34
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.859
elbow plane line. This is up from the
35
00:01:08.859 --> 00:01:10.219
hosel of the golf club through the base
36
00:01:10.219 --> 00:01:13.219
of the elbow, and then from a face-on
37
00:01:13.219 --> 00:01:14.439
perspective I'm going to go ahead and
38
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:14.840
mark
39
00:01:15.379 --> 00:01:17.659
a line across the shoulders, And I'm also
40
00:01:17.659 --> 00:01:20.579
going to show you a line between the
41
00:01:20.579 --> 00:01:21.700
elbows at a dress
42
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:24.319
because it's going to be a good line for
43
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:25.480
you to understand what you're going to be
44
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:27.760
looking for. Now, one of the areas that
45
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:29.319
we're going to be really focusing on this
46
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:30.680
week is we're going to be focusing on the
47
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:31.459
right elbow pit.
48
00:01:32.019 --> 00:01:33.879
If you notice at a dress, this right
49
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:35.560
elbow pit is in a good neutral position
50
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:37.840
where it's facing away from him, And what
51
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:39.540
we're looking to do is where the right
52
00:01:39.540 --> 00:01:40.819
arm is necessarily what we call the
53
00:01:40.819 --> 00:01:41.519
governor of width.
54
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:43.659
The governor of width is going to help
55
00:01:43.659 --> 00:01:46.879
establish a good wide swing arc, and then
56
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:48.159
we're going to look to narrow it as we
57
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:49.540
outlined in the wide narrow wide swing
58
00:01:49.540 --> 00:01:51.420
shape video. But there's also a great
59
00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:53.180
video that talks about the function of
60
00:01:53.180 --> 00:01:55.439
the right elbow pit, and it's located in
61
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:57.900
the advanced setup section. I think it's
62
00:01:57.900 --> 00:01:59.280
one of the most overlooked videos on the
63
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.120
site because once you learn the function
64
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:02.799
of the right elbow pit, it's going to
65
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:04.980
keep you from getting the right elbow
66
00:02:04.980 --> 00:02:07.040
behind the body into a really deep
67
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.120
position. It's going to help you not
68
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.639
close down your width, and in turn that
69
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:13.000
can help you with a lot more speed and
70
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:13.560
consistency.
71
00:02:14.180 --> 00:02:15.759
So again, from a down the line
72
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.139
perspective, you're going to see here he
73
00:02:17.139 --> 00:02:19.719
gets the golf club moving back up this
74
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:21.219
plane line beautifully, stays nice and
75
00:02:21.219 --> 00:02:23.879
wide with both arms, and take notice of
76
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:25.759
the width between his forearms and
77
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:27.340
elbows. You're going to see him keep
78
00:02:27.340 --> 00:02:29.819
things very close together as he moves up
79
00:02:29.819 --> 00:02:31.180
into the vertical plane. So you can
80
00:02:31.180 --> 00:02:32.719
notice right here at the top part of his
81
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:34.500
golf swing, that there is very little
82
00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:36.219
separation between the forearms and
83
00:02:36.219 --> 00:02:38.819
elbows. As they were at a dress. And what
84
00:02:38.819 --> 00:02:40.560
he's doing there is by trying to hold the
85
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.060
forearms and elbows closer together,
86
00:02:42.219 --> 00:02:45.099
you're forcing the humerus, the trail arm
87
00:02:45.099 --> 00:02:47.479
humerus, to externally rotate. And that's
88
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:48.879
going to help hold that right elbow in
89
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:50.819
line as well. So if you know the
90
00:02:50.819 --> 00:02:52.819
functions of the right elbow pit, and you
91
00:02:52.819 --> 00:02:55.460
understand how? By keeping the forearms
92
00:02:55.460 --> 00:02:57.259
and elbows much closer together as you
93
00:02:57.259 --> 00:02:58.699
move the hands and arms into the vertical
94
00:02:58.699 --> 00:03:00.520
plane, That's going to allow for the
95
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.039
right elbow to stay in line with the body
96
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:03.599
and which is going to be much easier in
97
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.419
transition. To not get ourselves into
98
00:03:05.419 --> 00:03:06.979
trouble with pushing the club back over
99
00:03:06.979 --> 00:03:08.979
the top, or getting the club way across
100
00:03:08.979 --> 00:03:10.340
the line to where we have to recover from
101
00:03:10.340 --> 00:03:14.360
that. So from a face-on perspective, what
102
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:15.919
I do want you to notice here is that
103
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:18.259
right elbow pit starts to rotate, still
104
00:03:18.259 --> 00:03:20.379
stays away, still staying away and at
105
00:03:20.379 --> 00:03:21.840
that point as I said he's going to add
106
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.599
right arm flexion, keep the forearms and
107
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:25.039
elbows very close together and get into a
108
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.460
really sound spot at the top. So those
109
00:03:27.460 --> 00:03:30.500
two key moves right there, one, Allow him
110
00:03:30.500 --> 00:03:32.620
to establish a lot of great width, which
111
00:03:32.620 --> 00:03:35.560
is critical for power and speed. And then
112
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:37.699
also he gets himself into a really good
113
00:03:37.699 --> 00:03:39.360
spot at the top part of his golf swing.
114
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:41.439
And then you can see as he starts to work
115
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.120
down in transition, okay, this is an
116
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:45.500
important frame here for a lot of
117
00:03:45.500 --> 00:03:49.020
golfers, he has got the same amount of
118
00:03:49.020 --> 00:03:51.360
width that he's had at address between
119
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:53.180
these elbows and forearms. So let me go
120
00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:55.060
ahead and move this line so you can get a
121
00:03:55.060 --> 00:03:56.860
good understanding. So you can see I've
122
00:03:56.860 --> 00:03:58.159
got that line right between the elbows.
123
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.659
Also take note here of the shoulder line,
124
00:04:00.740 --> 00:04:02.580
There's been very little change to the
125
00:04:02.580 --> 00:04:04.680
amount of tilt to his shoulders. And if I
126
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.400
were to go through two more frames here,
127
00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:09.840
you can see that the shoulder line is
128
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:11.599
still virtually as it was at address.
129
00:04:11.740 --> 00:04:13.259
There's just a little change in that
130
00:04:13.259 --> 00:04:13.580
tilt,
131
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:15.759
that's what we would call secondary axis
132
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:17.100
tilt and it's needed to help shallow
133
00:04:17.100 --> 00:04:18.680
things out. But you're going to notice
134
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:20.639
here that he's got a pretty nice stacked
135
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:22.839
left side, which is helping him control
136
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:24.439
the bottom of the swing arc. And then, in
137
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:26.560
turn, putting a lot of good solid impact
138
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:27.779
and compression on the golf ball.
139
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.019
So those are the three key areas that
140
00:04:30.019 --> 00:04:31.259
help him keep the golf ball on the golf
141
00:04:31.259 --> 00:04:32.740
course, hit a lot of fairways and then in
142
00:04:32.740 --> 00:04:34.079
turn he's hitting a lot of greens. Even
143
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:35.199
when he's barking at his golf ball,
144
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:36.759
yelling at it, if you still watch his
145
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:38.279
results, he's still hitting it and
146
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.220
keeping it in play. Alright, so I want
147
00:04:40.220 --> 00:04:41.699
you guys to focus on the right elbow pit.
148
00:04:42.259 --> 00:04:43.899
Again, that's in the advanced setup
149
00:04:43.899 --> 00:04:44.360
section.
150
00:04:45.019 --> 00:04:46.620
The three functions of the right arm,
151
00:04:46.660 --> 00:04:48.240
that's in the advanced backswing section.
152
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.819
That's going to teach you what the right
153
00:04:50.819 --> 00:04:53.439
arm does as it moves up into the vertical
154
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:54.560
plane after the takeaway.
155
00:04:55.300 --> 00:04:56.680
And then I want you to watch the impact
156
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:58.959
alignments face on video. Take a good
157
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:00.560
close look at all three of those videos.
158
00:05:00.980 --> 00:05:02.639
Really start to understand what you're
159
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.120
doing in your golf swing and how you're
160
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.060
going to correct things. And really try
161
00:05:06.060 --> 00:05:07.699
to make a difference in the feels of your
162
00:05:07.699 --> 00:05:09.660
body. That's the best way to change a
163
00:05:09.660 --> 00:05:10.899
movement pattern is that you want it to
164
00:05:10.899 --> 00:05:12.279
feel a little bit different. You don't
165
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:13.819
want it to feel the same. Otherwise, we'd
166
00:05:13.819 --> 00:05:15.319
just be spending time ingraining more of
167
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.100
the bad stuff. Alright, so take a look at
168
00:05:17.100 --> 00:05:18.300
those three videos. Let's get out there
169
00:05:18.300 --> 00:05:19.240
and hit some more fairways.
170
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.439
Let's play better golf and let's in turn
171
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:24.639
hit more greens. I'm really excited to
172
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:26.800
see the conclusion to the FedEx playoffs.
173
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:28.300
I hope you guys are as well. I look
174
00:05:28.300 --> 00:05:29.519
forward to working more with you guys in
175
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:31.040
the future. Now make it a great week.

-Dr. Jeffrey Broker, Assoc. Prof. in Biomechanics at University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and Former Senior Biomechanist for U.S. Olympics Committee
"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."
-Hub Orr - Happy PREMIUM MEMBER of RotarySwing.com
"I can honestly say that Rotary Swing
has completely revolutionized the way I think about the golf swing...The website is
without a doubt the best golf instruction resource anywhere on the internet."
