00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.860
Hey everyone, I'm rotary swing instructor
2
00:00:01.860 --> 00:00:03.819
Chris Tyler. And this week, former world
3
00:00:03.819 --> 00:00:05.459
number one player Martin Keimer gets back
4
00:00:05.459 --> 00:00:06.860
into the winner's circle with a great win
5
00:00:06.860 --> 00:00:09.140
at TPC. And I'm going to show you exactly
6
00:00:09.140 --> 00:00:11.080
how he pulls the power out of the ground
7
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:12.960
and then turns it into massive speed at
8
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:14.160
impact. So stick around.
9
00:00:20.739 --> 00:00:23.140
Okay so the Players Championship, a
10
00:00:23.140 --> 00:00:25.660
fantastic event at that, Proved to be
11
00:00:25.660 --> 00:00:27.460
another doozy this weekend, with Martin
12
00:00:27.460 --> 00:00:30.500
Keimer winning and over a very resilient
13
00:00:30.500 --> 00:00:33.700
Jordan Spieth, Jim Furyk, late charging
14
00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:36.340
Jim Furyk, Sergio Garcia, always some of
15
00:00:36.340 --> 00:00:38.000
the better names in golf at this event.
16
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:39.979
They call it the strongest field in golf.
17
00:00:39.979 --> 00:00:42.179
So congratulations to Martin for going
18
00:00:42.179 --> 00:00:45.079
wire to wire at TPC at Sawgrass. And this
19
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:46.939
week, we're going to focus in on three
20
00:00:46.939 --> 00:00:49.299
really critical areas as far as being
21
00:00:49.299 --> 00:00:51.380
able to pull power out of the ground,
22
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:53.939
when to turn it into speed, and how to
23
00:00:53.939 --> 00:00:55.840
keep it more consistent. So let's go
24
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:56.500
ahead and get started.
25
00:00:57.259 --> 00:00:58.840
We're going to look at the down the line
26
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:01.200
view first, and we're going to focus on
27
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:02.859
the most critical area. And that's going
28
00:01:02.859 --> 00:01:04.079
to be able to, that's going to be
29
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:05.799
maintaining posture through the hitting
30
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:07.420
area. So what I'm going to do is I'm
31
00:01:07.420 --> 00:01:08.719
going to draw what we call the tush line.
32
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:10.019
And if you're not familiar with the tush
33
00:01:10.019 --> 00:01:11.260
line is, there's a video in the
34
00:01:11.819 --> 00:01:13.400
advanced downswing session called Losing
35
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:15.260
the Tush line. I want you to take a look
36
00:01:15.260 --> 00:01:17.739
at that video. And this is a good line
37
00:01:17.739 --> 00:01:19.180
for you to be able to draw on yourself.
38
00:01:19.180 --> 00:01:20.719
To be able to indicate if you're
39
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:22.040
maintaining posture through the hitting
40
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:24.159
area. So I've drawn also a line on his
41
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:26.260
spine here. And you're going to see as he
42
00:01:26.260 --> 00:01:28.420
gets down into the hitting area that his
43
00:01:28.420 --> 00:01:30.420
tush is still back against this line.
44
00:01:30.579 --> 00:01:32.239
There's no space between the tush in this
45
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.519
line. If you ever watch your golf swing
46
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:36.060
and you see that your hips are quite a
47
00:01:36.060 --> 00:01:37.379
bit far forward, or your tush is far
48
00:01:37.379 --> 00:01:39.420
forward, Nine times out of ten. What's
49
00:01:39.420 --> 00:01:41.299
going to happen is is that the spine is
50
00:01:41.299 --> 00:01:42.760
going to move to a more of a vertical
51
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:44.780
position. And you're going to see a lot
52
00:01:44.780 --> 00:01:47.239
of drooping to your shoulders. Okay and
53
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:48.560
if you see a lot of drooping to your
54
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.040
shoulders that's a very, Very good
55
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:52.599
indicator for two things that number one,
56
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:53.959
you've lost posture into the hitting
57
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:55.959
area, and number two, you're not
58
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:57.879
maximizing the power out of the trunk.
59
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.439
Because when you get protraction from the
60
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:02.340
shoulders, or drooping, or roundness to
61
00:02:02.340 --> 00:02:03.920
the shoulders. That's actually taking the
62
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:05.840
scapula and moving it away from the big
63
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.060
muscles that are absolutely pivotal for
64
00:02:08.060 --> 00:02:09.580
being able to deliver power out of the
65
00:02:09.580 --> 00:02:09.840
trunk.
66
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:12.740
There's a big research study on any
67
00:02:12.740 --> 00:02:15.039
hitting or throwing sport that you need
68
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.539
to have the scapula down and in connected
69
00:02:17.539 --> 00:02:19.280
to those big muscles in order to take the
70
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:20.759
power out of the trunk. And the best way
71
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:21.939
I think of this is like, think of a
72
00:02:21.939 --> 00:02:23.979
boxer. A boxer doesn't hold his shoulder
73
00:02:23.979 --> 00:02:26.719
up and throw a punch, his shoulder stays
74
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.240
down and he's able to drive and pull the
75
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:30.379
power out of the body. And that's what
76
00:02:30.379 --> 00:02:32.259
we're going to learn to do today. We want
77
00:02:32.259 --> 00:02:33.919
to make sure that we can pull the power
78
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:35.900
out of the ground. Turn it into speed at
79
00:02:35.900 --> 00:02:37.599
the correct area and also be able to
80
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.460
maintain posture into the hitting area
81
00:02:39.460 --> 00:02:41.639
the correct way. Because there's a lot of
82
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:43.000
people around the site that are trying to
83
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:45.520
do too much of a squat move. And if
84
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.740
you're doing too much of a squat, you're
85
00:02:47.740 --> 00:02:48.680
nine times out of ten. You're going to
86
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:50.599
get yourself into problems with with
87
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:52.199
early extension of the spine because
88
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:54.020
you're not able to use the correct side
89
00:02:54.020 --> 00:02:56.539
of the body. In order to control the
90
00:02:56.539 --> 00:02:58.240
speed of the hips and control the posture
91
00:02:58.240 --> 00:02:59.860
in the hitting area. So I'm going to draw
92
00:02:59.860 --> 00:03:01.939
a line here for us up the center of the
93
00:03:01.939 --> 00:03:02.580
left ankle.
94
00:03:03.699 --> 00:03:05.259
This is going to be great for us to take
95
00:03:05.259 --> 00:03:07.439
a look at impact alignments face on here.
96
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:09.460
That's another video in our downswing
97
00:03:09.460 --> 00:03:10.699
advanced section so you might want to
98
00:03:10.699 --> 00:03:11.360
have a look at that.
99
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:13.719
So let's go ahead and load him up to the
100
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:14.860
top part of his golf swing.
101
00:03:15.580 --> 00:03:17.539
Big wide turn on Martin, he makes a big
102
00:03:17.539 --> 00:03:19.259
wide turn. He He gets the hips a little
103
00:03:19.259 --> 00:03:20.639
bit over rotate, which allows the club to
104
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:22.240
go a little bit longer. But what I want
105
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.039
you to do is take a good close look at
106
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:25.939
this right knee. You can see that it's
107
00:03:25.939 --> 00:03:27.319
moved to a little bit more of a straight
108
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.280
position. And as we start to work in
109
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.099
transition, sitting into the left side
110
00:03:31.099 --> 00:03:33.080
here, you can see that that right knee
111
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.520
increased in flex. Okay, so you can see
112
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:37.219
in his pants there that it's increased in
113
00:03:37.219 --> 00:03:39.120
flex. And now he's getting fully into
114
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.039
that left side. And what we're doing here
115
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:43.020
when we're sitting into the left side is
116
00:03:43.020 --> 00:03:44.900
we're loading up that left heel left
117
00:03:44.900 --> 00:03:47.020
ankle with probably about 80 percent of
118
00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:48.520
your weight, 80 to 85 percent of your
119
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:50.400
weight. And the idea is that we're going
120
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:52.500
to try to control the speed of the hips
121
00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:54.919
with your left obliques. Okay, we're
122
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:56.300
going to try to use those left obliques
123
00:03:56.300 --> 00:03:58.439
to pull that left hip away from the
124
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.620
target. And if you get a lot of pushing
125
00:04:00.620 --> 00:04:02.159
movement from the right side of the body
126
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:03.500
here, what's going to happen is you're
127
00:04:03.500 --> 00:04:05.479
going to push your hips forward and
128
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:07.300
you're going to lose posture. And your
129
00:04:07.300 --> 00:04:08.840
shoulders are going to start to round to
130
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:10.840
compensate for that particular move. But
131
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.639
because he's gotten fully seated left
132
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.860
here, he's actually starting to roll to
133
00:04:14.860 --> 00:04:16.259
the inside part of this right foot
134
00:04:16.259 --> 00:04:16.680
already.
135
00:04:17.259 --> 00:04:18.860
You can see that he's gotten nice and
136
00:04:18.860 --> 00:04:21.399
stacked there now. He's got a ton of lag
137
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:22.500
in this golf club. And you're going to
138
00:04:22.500 --> 00:04:23.879
see that he's going to straighten this
139
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.480
left leg as the club starts to release.
140
00:04:26.779 --> 00:04:27.920
Okay, so here he is starting to release.
141
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:29.379
You can see that leg starting to move to
142
00:04:29.379 --> 00:04:31.199
a straight position there, and then he's
143
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.600
at maximum speed, right at the hitting
144
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:35.779
area. And one of the things that you'll
145
00:04:35.779 --> 00:04:38.899
have to understand is that 60 percent of
146
00:04:38.899 --> 00:04:41.379
your clubhead speed is coming three feet
147
00:04:41.379 --> 00:04:43.139
prior to the golf ball. Okay, so 60
148
00:04:43.139 --> 00:04:43.980
percent of your speed is
149
00:04:44.780 --> 00:04:46.660
increasing by three feet prior to the
150
00:04:46.660 --> 00:04:48.360
golf ball, so through lag and release and
151
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:49.779
being able to leverage the ground. But
152
00:04:49.779 --> 00:04:51.040
you need to be able to make sure that you
153
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:52.759
sequence this properly in order to be
154
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:54.839
able to move efficiently. So you want to
155
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:57.699
look at the straight left leg video in
156
00:04:57.699 --> 00:04:59.079
the downswing section? That's another
157
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:00.579
advanced downswing section video. That's
158
00:05:00.579 --> 00:05:01.779
going to teach you the correct muscles
159
00:05:01.779 --> 00:05:02.980
and give you the correct kinesthetic
160
00:05:02.980 --> 00:05:05.300
awareness on what muscles are used to
161
00:05:05.300 --> 00:05:07.040
control the speed of the hips. And you
162
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:08.519
also want to make sure that you're not
163
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:10.560
overdoing your squat move, okay, because
164
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.579
if you're overdoing any sort of squat or
165
00:05:12.579 --> 00:05:14.860
sitting into the left side. What's going
166
00:05:14.860 --> 00:05:15.980
to happen is is you're going to try to
167
00:05:15.980 --> 00:05:17.360
jump up and that's going to make the hips
168
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.139
come forward, the shoulders around. And
169
00:05:19.139 --> 00:05:20.500
then you're losing all that efficiency
170
00:05:20.500 --> 00:05:22.459
and you're Max, you're losing all that
171
00:05:22.459 --> 00:05:24.519
that max speed at the bottom of the arc.
172
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:26.540
All right, so I've drawn another line on
173
00:05:26.540 --> 00:05:27.420
here that we're just going to take
174
00:05:27.420 --> 00:05:29.379
another quick look at. And you can see
175
00:05:29.379 --> 00:05:31.100
here. At the hitting area. He's got a
176
00:05:31.100 --> 00:05:33.660
nice stacked look from the left heel. Or
177
00:05:33.660 --> 00:05:33.759
I'm
178
00:05:38.139 --> 00:05:40.040
of off to the side just a little bit. And
179
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:41.579
you would see if it was dead face on
180
00:05:41.579 --> 00:05:43.639
that. He's got that left hip in a great,
181
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:45.959
great position there. And I know that's
182
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:47.259
another misconception around the site
183
00:05:47.259 --> 00:05:49.540
with people. Or am I supposed to appear
184
00:05:49.540 --> 00:05:51.360
the same with a driver and a three wood
185
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:53.459
as I am a wedge at the hitting area and
186
00:05:53.459 --> 00:05:55.379
out? Yes, absolutely. Under any stock
187
00:05:55.379 --> 00:05:57.319
shot format, you always want to have the
188
00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:59.779
same look with a nice stacked left side.
189
00:05:59.779 --> 00:06:01.220
That way, you're controlling the bottom
190
00:06:01.220 --> 00:06:02.899
of the arc and leading to maximum
191
00:06:02.899 --> 00:06:03.579
consistency.
192
00:06:04.220 --> 00:06:05.620
All right, guys. So let's work on getting
193
00:06:05.620 --> 00:06:07.360
seated left. Let's use the left side of
194
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:08.959
the body properly to be able to keep the
195
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.060
hips back. And then let's work on trying
196
00:06:11.060 --> 00:06:13.000
to drive that leg to left leg to a
197
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:14.819
straight position. As we're releasing the
198
00:06:14.819 --> 00:06:16.839
golf club at the proper time to maximize
199
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:18.720
that speed in your club head. Now get out
200
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:20.660
there let's go bomb some drives and let's
201
00:06:20.660 --> 00:06:21.939
play some great golf. I look forward to
202
00:06:21.939 --> 00:06:23.000
working more with you guys in the future
203
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:24.019
I hope you have a great day.

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."
