00:00:00.460 --> 00:00:01.820
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, this is
2
00:00:01.820 --> 00:00:03.080
Rotary Swing Instructor Christopher
3
00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:04.959
Tyler, and in this week we are going to
4
00:00:04.959 --> 00:00:06.780
be answering the question, is it in the
5
00:00:06.780 --> 00:00:09.179
family? Miss Cheyenne Woods captures her
6
00:00:09.179 --> 00:00:10.800
first victory and we are going to be
7
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:12.779
doing a breakdown in her golf swing and
8
00:00:12.779 --> 00:00:14.300
comparing it to her Uncle Tiger.
9
00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:23.239
Alright, Miss Cheyenne Woods, 23 years
10
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:25.260
old, Niece of Tiger Woods claims her
11
00:00:25.260 --> 00:00:26.739
first victory at the Australian Ladies
12
00:00:26.739 --> 00:00:28.719
Masters Championship this past weekend.
13
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:31.579
So, congratulations to Cheyenne Woods and
14
00:00:31.579 --> 00:00:33.299
this week's analysis. I am actually going
15
00:00:33.299 --> 00:00:35.079
to be doing a little family comparison
16
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:36.920
between her and Tiger. And show you some
17
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:38.539
of the great things that they do in their
18
00:00:38.539 --> 00:00:40.439
golf swing. To help build power and
19
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.280
speed. So you want to sit back and take
20
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:45.179
this all in? And I am also going to give
21
00:00:45.179 --> 00:00:46.659
you guys a couple of videos that you can
22
00:00:46.659 --> 00:00:48.100
focus on within the site. That are going
23
00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:50.200
to help you understand how you are going
24
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:51.600
to put the power back into your game.
25
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:54.759
Okay, So let's go ahead and get started
26
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:56.280
with today's analysis. And I have gone
27
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:57.799
ahead and loaded up a couple of swings
28
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.140
here from Cheyenne Woods down the line
29
00:01:00.140 --> 00:01:02.119
and Tiger Woods down the line. And I want
30
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:03.259
to show you guys a couple of the
31
00:01:03.259 --> 00:01:05.159
commonalities that they have in their
32
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:07.060
moves. I am going to go ahead and move
33
00:01:07.060 --> 00:01:08.920
Cheyenne into the takeaway position, or
34
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:10.239
the completed part of the takeaway. Let
35
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:11.599
me move her back a frame here.
36
00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:15.060
And I want to show you how. Her and Tiger
37
00:01:15.060 --> 00:01:17.760
have very similar moves as far as
38
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:19.299
creating a lot of width in their golf
39
00:01:19.299 --> 00:01:21.359
swing and creating a lot of power. All
40
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:22.879
right, so here we are at the completed
41
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:23.500
part of the takeaway.
42
00:01:24.379 --> 00:01:27.060
Hands are about belt high here or just
43
00:01:27.060 --> 00:01:28.840
about pocket height. But I want you to
44
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:30.239
notice that they have got their chest
45
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.519
rotating about 45 degrees. Shoulders have
46
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:35.640
rotated about 45 degrees and they have
47
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:37.540
gotten very little rotation from the hip
48
00:01:37.540 --> 00:01:39.480
line. Okay, so you can see that the hips
49
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:40.859
have rotated very little. She has
50
00:01:40.859 --> 00:01:42.459
probably got about 5 to 10 degrees of
51
00:01:42.459 --> 00:01:44.079
rotation where Tiger has gotten none.
52
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:46.359
And what this is allowing them to do is
53
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:47.739
it is allowing them to load into the
54
00:01:47.739 --> 00:01:49.799
right glute shoulders and use that for
55
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:51.819
stability in the pelvis. So that's a
56
00:01:51.819 --> 00:01:53.859
very, Very big thing as far as being able
57
00:01:53.859 --> 00:01:56.260
to create a lot of separation and a lot
58
00:01:56.260 --> 00:01:57.920
of resistance, to be able to use the big
59
00:01:57.920 --> 00:01:58.819
muscles in the golf swing.
60
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.280
We're really trying to wind up the big
61
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.959
muscles as much as possible and use those
62
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:06.879
so we can generate as much power and turn
63
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:08.879
that into club head speed. All right, so
64
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:10.680
let's go ahead and keep working back into
65
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:11.500
Cheyenne's swing.
66
00:02:12.060 --> 00:02:13.340
And I'm going to get her right to the
67
00:02:13.340 --> 00:02:15.840
top. And I also want you to notice here
68
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.020
now that she's gotten probably maximum.
69
00:02:18.020 --> 00:02:21.439
About 35 degrees of hip rotation and a
70
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.020
huge wide shoulder turn, which has
71
00:02:24.020 --> 00:02:26.120
allowed her to create a ton of separation
72
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:27.620
between the lower half and the upper
73
00:02:27.620 --> 00:02:29.319
half. So that means she's got a very
74
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.719
stable lower half. She's got a loaded up
75
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:33.780
right glute. And now she's going to be
76
00:02:33.780 --> 00:02:36.580
able to use the loaded up muscles and
77
00:02:36.580 --> 00:02:38.780
unwind those and turn that into club head
78
00:02:38.780 --> 00:02:41.919
speed. Where a lot of people tend to run
79
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.219
into the issue. Where they'll over-rotate
80
00:02:44.219 --> 00:02:46.759
the lower half, which stands them out of
81
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:48.759
posture, which doesn't allow them to
82
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:50.539
create the resistance in the big muscles.
83
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:52.500
And then ultimately that turns into a
84
00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:53.879
slower club head speed and a massive
85
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:55.840
amount of other issues. So let's go ahead
86
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.680
and work as Tiger here gets to the top
87
00:02:58.680 --> 00:02:59.599
part of his golf swing.
88
00:03:00.540 --> 00:03:02.740
Very common area as well as with
89
00:03:02.740 --> 00:03:04.780
Cheyenne. He's created a lot of
90
00:03:04.780 --> 00:03:06.560
separation, he's probably got about 35,
91
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.139
Maybe 30 degrees of rotation out of the
92
00:03:09.139 --> 00:03:10.780
hip line here, and he's got a massive
93
00:03:10.780 --> 00:03:11.960
amount of shoulder turn as well.
94
00:03:12.620 --> 00:03:14.060
So now you can see that. He's got all
95
00:03:14.060 --> 00:03:16.419
this stored energy and he's created some
96
00:03:16.419 --> 00:03:18.219
resistance in the big muscles. And he's
97
00:03:18.219 --> 00:03:19.759
going to be able to also use these
98
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:21.560
muscles to unwind. So what we're really
99
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:23.120
trying to do is we want to be able to
100
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.159
create as much separation as possible.
101
00:03:25.580 --> 00:03:27.539
And you can do that by making sure that
102
00:03:27.539 --> 00:03:30.379
the pelvis stays stable. And in order for
103
00:03:30.379 --> 00:03:32.000
the pelvis to stay stable, you've got to
104
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.500
use the glute muscles as much as
105
00:03:33.500 --> 00:03:36.000
possible. So if you haven't seen Load the
106
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.900
Right Glute, check that video out. That's
107
00:03:37.900 --> 00:03:40.180
in the backswing section. That is a very,
108
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:41.740
Very good video for you to understand how
109
00:03:41.740 --> 00:03:43.060
you're going to stabilize the hip line
110
00:03:43.060 --> 00:03:44.759
and create as much separation between the
111
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:46.020
shoulders and the hips as possible.
112
00:03:46.780 --> 00:03:48.960
So let's go ahead and work down into the
113
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.759
downswing. I'm going to show you how
114
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.219
these two have a couple of areas in
115
00:03:54.219 --> 00:03:55.900
common and how they're using all this
116
00:03:55.900 --> 00:03:57.300
stored energy to build speed.
117
00:03:57.819 --> 00:03:58.840
So I'm going to go ahead and work
118
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.099
Cheyenne down into the impact zone here.
119
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.120
And what I want you to notice here is
120
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.419
that she has moved that left leg to a
121
00:04:05.419 --> 00:04:07.099
straight position. So she's basically
122
00:04:07.099 --> 00:04:09.900
pushed herself up out of the ground and
123
00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:11.699
moved this left leg to a very straight
124
00:04:11.699 --> 00:04:14.340
position. So she's used her trunk to
125
00:04:14.340 --> 00:04:16.040
build power and pull the power and
126
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:16.939
leverage the ground.
127
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:19.639
And she's used the left glute to help
128
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:21.579
stabilize the pelvis in a sense. And then
129
00:04:21.579 --> 00:04:24.000
she's also used the left obliques. Now, I
130
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.980
want to get Tiger down to impact and I
131
00:04:26.980 --> 00:04:29.620
want to show you one of the, not so much
132
00:04:29.620 --> 00:04:31.500
a commonality, but a little difference, a
133
00:04:31.500 --> 00:04:34.300
little variation, or I'm sorry, a
134
00:04:34.300 --> 00:04:36.139
difference between the two, I should say.
135
00:04:36.579 --> 00:04:38.839
But if you look here, you can notice the
136
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:40.800
difference in the right foot on Cheyenne
137
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.639
and the right foot in Tiger. She's almost
138
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:47.560
on her toe where Tiger is almost all the
139
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:49.259
way fully flat. He's kind of rolled to
140
00:04:49.259 --> 00:04:50.360
the inside part of that foot. But the
141
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.480
left heel has come off the ground. And if
142
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.079
you look here as a reaction to that
143
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:55.660
particular move, You can see that her
144
00:04:55.660 --> 00:04:58.720
chest is more out down the target line
145
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.240
and Tiger's chest is more down towards
146
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:01.819
the golf ball.
147
00:05:02.459 --> 00:05:04.680
And also, another big thing to take
148
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:06.519
notice of here is that Cheyenne has now
149
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:08.680
gotten quite a bit more hip rotation into
150
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.019
impact than Tiger has. You can see that
151
00:05:11.019 --> 00:05:13.480
she's probably spun open about 45 to 50
152
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.699
degrees. And that's created a little bit
153
00:05:15.699 --> 00:05:17.399
more of a body rotation, and she's going
154
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:18.800
to have to time her release a little bit
155
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:19.060
more.
156
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.680
Where Tiger has fully stalled the body
157
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:23.839
and he is actually nice and square with
158
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:25.639
his shoulders. And he's probably about 30
159
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.600
to 35 degrees open with the hips here.
160
00:05:28.420 --> 00:05:30.319
And a big point for me to make here is
161
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.420
that the right foot acts as kind of a
162
00:05:32.420 --> 00:05:34.959
breaking mechanism to the hip line. If
163
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:36.779
you are efficiently or effectively
164
00:05:36.779 --> 00:05:38.319
sitting into the left side and you're
165
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.899
pulling with the left obliques, you're
166
00:05:40.899 --> 00:05:42.500
pulling that hip away from the target and
167
00:05:42.500 --> 00:05:43.639
you're driving that left heel onto the
168
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.079
ground. And you're working to roll to the
169
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:47.519
inside part of the right foot kind of
170
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:49.100
like Tiger has here. That's going to act
171
00:05:49.100 --> 00:05:51.240
as a breaking mechanism to the hips, and
172
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:52.639
it's not going to allow you to get over
173
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:55.439
-rotated or spun out. So if you've ever
174
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:56.980
noticed your golf swing looking where you
175
00:05:56.980 --> 00:05:59.079
can see two cheeks like this, and you're
176
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:00.980
way up on your right toe, you need to
177
00:06:00.980 --> 00:06:02.459
check out roll of the right foot in the
178
00:06:02.459 --> 00:06:04.100
downswing. And that's going to really
179
00:06:04.100 --> 00:06:05.800
help you understand how you're going to.
180
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:08.259
Slow the hip rotation down to allow the
181
00:06:08.259 --> 00:06:10.000
hands and arms to pass in front. And
182
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.060
deliver all that built up power that
183
00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:13.980
you've just worked so hard to get.
184
00:06:14.699 --> 00:06:16.660
So that's a big, Big area for everybody
185
00:06:16.660 --> 00:06:18.199
to understand as far as how we're going
186
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:19.560
to use the lower body effectively and
187
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.399
efficiently. And not that she hasn't used
188
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:23.600
her body efficiently, but if you look at
189
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.540
Tiger, he is more stable. He's not going
190
00:06:26.540 --> 00:06:27.800
to run into issues where he's going to be
191
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:28.819
spun out as much.
192
00:06:29.579 --> 00:06:32.040
So that's going to be today's analysis.
193
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.060
And as far as what you should be focusing
194
00:06:34.060 --> 00:06:35.759
on as you move forward is that. You want
195
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.480
to be able to create as much separation
196
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:40.620
between the hip line and the shoulder
197
00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:42.379
line as you can at the top part of your
198
00:06:42.379 --> 00:06:44.779
golf swing. And do that by stabilizing
199
00:06:44.779 --> 00:06:46.620
the lower half first. Load into that
200
00:06:46.620 --> 00:06:50.180
right glute, stabilize the lower half,
201
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:52.980
and then create big rotation in the upper
202
00:06:52.980 --> 00:06:54.839
body. You want as much rotation as
203
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.139
possible. Five Minutes to Master Rotation
204
00:06:57.139 --> 00:06:58.660
is a great video for you to check out and
205
00:06:58.660 --> 00:07:00.720
load the right glute. And then also check
206
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:01.779
out the roll of the right foot in the
207
00:07:01.779 --> 00:07:03.100
downswing. And that's going to help you
208
00:07:03.100 --> 00:07:04.620
understand how to use the body
209
00:07:04.620 --> 00:07:05.699
effectively and efficiently.

Testimonials
"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."
-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."
