00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.640
Hey guys, This is RST instructor Chris
2
00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:04.740
Tyler. And if you've been looking for
3
00:00:04.740 --> 00:00:06.719
that secret, move in your golf swing to
4
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:08.500
put more power, then you're going to want
5
00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:10.580
to pay close attention to how one of the
6
00:00:10.580 --> 00:00:12.880
tour's longest, J.B. Holmes, and one of
7
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:14.539
the LPGA tour's longest, Brittany
8
00:00:14.539 --> 00:00:16.660
Lincecumbe, Used their lower half in the
9
00:00:16.660 --> 00:00:19.460
downswing sequence to perfection to build
10
00:00:19.460 --> 00:00:20.960
a lot of power and a lot of club head
11
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:22.399
speed. Now let's go ahead and get
12
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:22.719
started.
13
00:00:29.279 --> 00:00:31.280
Okay guys, so as I said in the opener,
14
00:00:31.460 --> 00:00:33.020
we're going to be taking a look at two of
15
00:00:33.020 --> 00:00:34.719
the longer players on their respective
16
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:35.079
tours,
17
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:37.659
J.B. Holmes, who's now seventh on the PGA
18
00:00:37.659 --> 00:00:40.439
Tour, averaging well over 300 yards, And
19
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:44.020
Brittany Lincecumbe is averaging 260 plus
20
00:00:44.020 --> 00:00:46.500
yards and in third place for total
21
00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:48.320
driving distance on the LPGA Tour. So,
22
00:00:49.259 --> 00:00:51.280
one of the big things that we've got to
23
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.880
really understand before we really get
24
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:55.359
started here is that, you know, to
25
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:57.039
effectively swing the golf club at 100
26
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.520
miles an hour, we need to have more than
27
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:01.840
30 pounds of muscle available to us to be
28
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:02.140
using.
29
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:04.859
And a lot of times, golfers get wrapped
30
00:01:04.859 --> 00:01:07.219
up in trying to use mostly their arms and
31
00:01:07.219 --> 00:01:09.420
their shoulders and their chest to
32
00:01:09.420 --> 00:01:10.859
produce all that club head speed. And
33
00:01:10.859 --> 00:01:12.420
there's just not enough muscle available
34
00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:13.659
up there unless you've been one of those
35
00:01:13.659 --> 00:01:15.000
people that, you know, Spends a lot of
36
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.219
time in the gym and you've really worked
37
00:01:16.219 --> 00:01:17.379
out your shoulders and your arms, and
38
00:01:17.379 --> 00:01:19.359
you've got all that muscle. But generally
39
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:20.739
speaking, it's very difficult to produce
40
00:01:20.739 --> 00:01:22.099
that kind of club head speed from those
41
00:01:22.099 --> 00:01:23.120
smaller muscle groups.
42
00:01:23.700 --> 00:01:25.319
So what we want to think of is where do
43
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:26.640
we have our biggest muscle groups
44
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:28.579
available? We talk a lot about the core.
45
00:01:28.700 --> 00:01:30.060
We talk about the abs, the obliques.
46
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:32.280
We certainly want to talk about the glute
47
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:33.420
muscles, because the glute muscles are
48
00:01:33.420 --> 00:01:35.040
really kind of our chunkiest muscles that
49
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.519
we have available to us. And a lot of
50
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:39.840
times, if we kind of focus on hitting the
51
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:41.939
golf ball with our legs, You'll be way
52
00:01:41.939 --> 00:01:44.140
more powerful in your golf swing and
53
00:01:44.140 --> 00:01:46.480
you'll be able to use the power coming
54
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:48.040
out of the ground. You'll be able to use
55
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.599
it for moving things up the kinetic chain
56
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:52.319
and then obviously turning that stuff
57
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:54.319
into massive club head speed. So let's go
58
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:55.299
ahead and take a look here at both
59
00:01:55.299 --> 00:01:57.120
players. It's just going to be one very
60
00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:58.379
common move that you'll see.
61
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:00.480
I'm going to go ahead and work both into
62
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.019
the takeaway here so they both stay
63
00:02:02.019 --> 00:02:04.840
extremely wide. If you've been having an
64
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:06.659
issue with trying to get your swing wide
65
00:02:06.659 --> 00:02:07.239
into the takeaway,
66
00:02:08.180 --> 00:02:09.620
video, keep the right arm straight to
67
00:02:09.620 --> 00:02:11.060
turn. Both of these players do that
68
00:02:11.060 --> 00:02:13.259
extremely well. So you're going to see
69
00:02:13.259 --> 00:02:16.340
here at the completed takeaway, both arms
70
00:02:16.340 --> 00:02:17.180
are very wide,
71
00:02:18.060 --> 00:02:19.259
okay? They've rotated their shoulders
72
00:02:19.259 --> 00:02:20.400
about 45 degrees.
73
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:22.180
And then I'm going to go ahead and get
74
00:02:22.180 --> 00:02:24.340
Brittany up to the top of her swing. Now
75
00:02:24.340 --> 00:02:25.860
this is where the big move is going to
76
00:02:25.860 --> 00:02:28.060
start to happen, okay? Both players do
77
00:02:28.060 --> 00:02:30.240
not get the golf club back past parallel.
78
00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:33.020
They actually stay short of parallel. And
79
00:02:33.020 --> 00:02:34.879
I think that's another big myth that
80
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:36.740
you've seen in a lot of golf swings, like
81
00:02:36.740 --> 00:02:38.539
an old John Daly swing, where he had it
82
00:02:38.539 --> 00:02:39.639
wrapped around his neck. Now granted, he
83
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.280
did hit the golf ball a long ways, but
84
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:42.879
there was also a ton of sequencing that
85
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:44.860
happened in his move. So we don't need to
86
00:02:44.860 --> 00:02:46.080
have the golf club wrapped around our
87
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:47.379
neck in order to get it going the other
88
00:02:47.379 --> 00:02:48.680
direction really quickly. We just need to
89
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:49.680
have proper sequencing.
90
00:02:50.200 --> 00:02:51.740
And what you're going to see here is the
91
00:02:51.740 --> 00:02:53.300
big power move right here. This is where
92
00:02:53.300 --> 00:02:54.719
we're going to start to hit the golf ball
93
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:55.620
with our legs,
94
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.939
okay? So right here, that big move, all
95
00:02:58.939 --> 00:03:00.599
that movement in the upper body is being
96
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:02.219
created by the lower half.
97
00:03:03.620 --> 00:03:05.379
Right there. That big kind of sitting
98
00:03:05.379 --> 00:03:07.400
move. So we're overloaded into the right
99
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.740
side and then we're making a big sitting
100
00:03:09.740 --> 00:03:11.139
movement into that lead side.
101
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:13.240
Very similar move out of Brittany.
102
00:03:14.460 --> 00:03:16.300
Changes directions and now she's sitting
103
00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:18.219
into her lead side. And what you guys are
104
00:03:18.219 --> 00:03:19.780
noticing here, when they get their hips
105
00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:23.500
and their knees back to a square position
106
00:03:23.500 --> 00:03:23.819
here,
107
00:03:24.539 --> 00:03:28.039
take notice that their hands have not
108
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:29.719
really dropped much below where the
109
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:31.300
sternum would be here, the center of the
110
00:03:31.300 --> 00:03:32.979
chest. Brittany's might be a fraction
111
00:03:32.979 --> 00:03:33.560
lower here.
112
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.740
But one of the big things is that we try
113
00:03:36.740 --> 00:03:38.400
to pull our arms down or we try to unwind
114
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.259
our shoulders. So the movement from the
115
00:03:40.259 --> 00:03:42.780
hips, where we had them roughly 30 to 45
116
00:03:42.780 --> 00:03:44.800
degrees, wound up. And then bringing them
117
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:46.780
back to a square position has unwound the
118
00:03:46.780 --> 00:03:47.879
shoulders on both players.
119
00:03:48.539 --> 00:03:50.379
So now we're starting to work the power
120
00:03:50.379 --> 00:03:52.680
up out of the lower body. We're starting
121
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.020
to try to get ourselves posted up and
122
00:03:55.020 --> 00:03:56.139
we're leveraging the ground and then
123
00:03:56.139 --> 00:03:58.400
we're going to be stalling the body and
124
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.479
then releasing the golf club, allowing
125
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.599
the club to act independently from the,
126
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:04.900
or I'm sorry, allowing the hands and arms
127
00:04:04.900 --> 00:04:06.960
to act independently from the body. And
128
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:07.879
then in turn, that's when you're going to
129
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:09.120
be at max speed down here at impact.
130
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:11.219
All right? So that's the big power move
131
00:04:11.219 --> 00:04:12.419
is that if you've been struggling with,
132
00:04:12.500 --> 00:04:14.020
you know, trying to find more power in
133
00:04:14.020 --> 00:04:16.339
your golf swing, we really need to work
134
00:04:16.339 --> 00:04:17.779
on sequencing things. And we've got a
135
00:04:17.779 --> 00:04:19.100
number of videos on the website that can
136
00:04:19.100 --> 00:04:20.360
help you out with that, some really great
137
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.060
information on how to use your hips in
138
00:04:22.060 --> 00:04:22.579
the golf swing.
139
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.279
We also have the drill for downswing
140
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:25.819
sequence.
141
00:04:26.379 --> 00:04:28.660
We've got a weight shift drill and then
142
00:04:28.660 --> 00:04:30.139
starting the downswing before completing
143
00:04:30.139 --> 00:04:31.540
the backswing. That's another good video
144
00:04:31.540 --> 00:04:32.519
that's got a drill in there.
145
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:34.399
And all these videos are going to be in
146
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:35.800
the recommended videos tab to the right
147
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.259
of the video player for you guys. So if
148
00:04:38.259 --> 00:04:39.699
you want to put more power in it, then
149
00:04:39.699 --> 00:04:41.560
let's get to work on not using those
150
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:43.279
smaller muscles in the upper body. Let's
151
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:44.899
use those big muscles throughout the
152
00:04:44.899 --> 00:04:47.199
lower half and you'll be well on your way
153
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.000
to bombing it well past your friends.
