Description
Swing plane is a very common term used in golf and has become a primary focus point for a lot of players. Unfortunately, we should be focusing less on swing plane and directly on the body movements that affect the plane. In this video, I'll show you how to prioritize 4 simple steps that will guarantee you get the club on plane each and every time.
Video Practice Points
- Get properly setup first.
- Make sure you are shifting your weight properly to load the trailside up.
- Learn how to rotate without moving your head all over the place.
- Add small arm movements of elevation and flexion last.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.459
Hey, what's up guys? This is RST
2
00:00:02.459 --> 00:00:04.400
instructor Chris Tyler. And we are back
3
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:06.280
again with this week's tour analysis on
4
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:09.759
the 2015 RBC Canadian Open champion Jason
5
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:12.320
Day. So congratulations to Jason. He is a
6
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:14.140
phenomenal swinger of the golf club. Got
7
00:00:14.140 --> 00:00:15.699
a very good golf swing from beginning to
8
00:00:15.699 --> 00:00:17.160
end. That's got a lot of good balance
9
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.399
between width, leverage, and rotation.
10
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:21.820
And we've done a number of these videos
11
00:00:21.820 --> 00:00:23.579
on Jason in the past, and we're going to
12
00:00:23.579 --> 00:00:25.539
focus in on his backswing position
13
00:00:25.539 --> 00:00:27.519
specifically this week. I'm going to talk
14
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:29.019
to you guys about a good game plan, about
15
00:00:29.019 --> 00:00:31.039
how to prioritize things in a specific
16
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.259
way. Make sure that you get things that
17
00:00:33.259 --> 00:00:35.640
are most important into a very good
18
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:37.759
environment first, and then you add your
19
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:39.179
next piece in. And that way you can get
20
00:00:39.179 --> 00:00:41.479
into a really good, strong, powerful,
21
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:43.420
loaded backswing position that's going to
22
00:00:43.420 --> 00:00:45.079
help you hit the golf ball further and
23
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:46.979
have more control. So let's go ahead and
24
00:00:46.979 --> 00:00:47.359
get started.
25
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.119
Okay guys. So as I said in the opener,
26
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:57.340
We're going to be focusing in on
27
00:00:57.340 --> 00:00:59.560
backswing positions this week. And talk
28
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:01.420
to you guys about a good, detailed list
29
00:01:01.420 --> 00:01:03.140
of things to work on in your golf swing.
30
00:01:03.140 --> 00:01:05.019
And make sure that you get things done in
31
00:01:05.019 --> 00:01:05.400
order.
32
00:01:05.980 --> 00:01:07.219
That way, you can make things a lot
33
00:01:07.219 --> 00:01:08.379
easier on yourself when you're starting
34
00:01:08.379 --> 00:01:10.060
to rebuild your golf swing. And I know
35
00:01:10.060 --> 00:01:11.859
that, you know, With a lot of the chitter
36
00:01:11.859 --> 00:01:13.780
chatter on TV or a lot of this stuff that
37
00:01:13.780 --> 00:01:16.799
we hear around magazines or forums, that,
38
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:18.359
you know, Everybody's really kind of
39
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:20.500
wrapped up in swing plane, and swing
40
00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:21.700
plane is an important part of the golf
41
00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:23.500
swing, for sure. But if we focus on
42
00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:25.799
movements of the body first, then swing
43
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:27.599
plane is completely consequential to what
44
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:28.900
we're doing in our golf swing. And in
45
00:01:28.900 --> 00:01:31.099
turn, You'll be able to have the golf
46
00:01:31.099 --> 00:01:32.680
club on plane and that really pretty
47
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:33.859
looking position at the top of the swing,
48
00:01:33.900 --> 00:01:36.079
just like Jason Day. So that's what our
49
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:37.120
focus point is going to be this week.
50
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:38.540
We're going to be focusing out on a good
51
00:01:38.540 --> 00:01:40.859
game plan of things for you guys to focus
52
00:01:40.859 --> 00:01:42.379
on, to make sure things are in order
53
00:01:42.379 --> 00:01:42.859
first.
54
00:01:43.579 --> 00:01:44.719
And everything's going to start right
55
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:45.659
from your setup position.
56
00:01:46.379 --> 00:01:47.680
Obviously we've got a driver setup
57
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:49.319
position here. So from a face on, you're
58
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:50.579
going to see Jason sets up a little bit
59
00:01:50.579 --> 00:01:52.180
wider. Ball position's going to be, you
60
00:01:52.180 --> 00:01:53.239
know, positioned a little bit more
61
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:54.200
forward in your stance.
62
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:56.739
So if you've noticed that you had some
63
00:01:56.739 --> 00:01:58.780
kind of questions on stance width, we
64
00:01:58.780 --> 00:02:00.799
actually have some video videos on the
65
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:01.760
site that can help you out with that.
66
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:03.000
There's one that's called determining
67
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:04.719
proper stance width. We talk about from
68
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.159
an anatomic and a biomechanical
69
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:06.659
standpoint.
70
00:02:07.180 --> 00:02:08.300
And, you know, When you look at the
71
00:02:08.300 --> 00:02:10.719
overall requirements of stance, width and
72
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:12.740
being able to use your lower body for
73
00:02:12.740 --> 00:02:15.580
stability, number one, And then also, we
74
00:02:15.580 --> 00:02:17.039
want to be able to shift our weight
75
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:18.659
without having our head move all over the
76
00:02:18.659 --> 00:02:19.900
place. If you can meet those
77
00:02:19.900 --> 00:02:21.919
requirements, then understanding what
78
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:23.539
your stance width is supposed to be like
79
00:02:23.539 --> 00:02:25.659
becomes much easier. It's there's no gray
80
00:02:25.659 --> 00:02:27.819
area. It's very black and white. All
81
00:02:27.819 --> 00:02:28.719
right. So that's the first thing is
82
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:29.520
you're going to make sure that you get a
83
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.560
good setup position. The next thing that
84
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:32.780
you're going to work on in your golf
85
00:02:32.780 --> 00:02:34.539
swing is just what I've drawn here is
86
00:02:34.539 --> 00:02:36.180
what we call the right hip line. Now,
87
00:02:36.219 --> 00:02:38.979
this is a line up from this center of the
88
00:02:38.979 --> 00:02:40.439
of the trail ankle.
89
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:42.520
All right. So this is a line up from the
90
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:44.379
center of the trail ankle and it's
91
00:02:44.379 --> 00:02:45.979
straight up. And what you're going to
92
00:02:45.979 --> 00:02:48.080
notice here is if you notice that your
93
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.280
leg doesn't move up against this right
94
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.800
hip line. Okay. Or if you see that it
95
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.120
goes through this line, or that you see
96
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.060
that it moves away from this line at the
97
00:02:58.060 --> 00:02:59.879
top of your swing, then you're going to
98
00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:01.659
want to work on shifting your weight
99
00:03:01.659 --> 00:03:03.979
first and stabilizing your trail side.
100
00:03:03.979 --> 00:03:06.599
That is absolutely critical that you get
101
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.060
that down first, because if we look at it
102
00:03:09.060 --> 00:03:12.080
from an objective standpoint here, what
103
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.099
do we want to start our downswing? Well,
104
00:03:14.099 --> 00:03:15.780
we want our lower half to really start
105
00:03:15.780 --> 00:03:17.939
first. And the first thing that we need
106
00:03:17.939 --> 00:03:19.860
to be able to load up is, is those glute
107
00:03:19.860 --> 00:03:21.599
muscles. And it's really critical to do
108
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:21.860
so.
109
00:03:22.419 --> 00:03:24.080
So you can see if you've, you've
110
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:25.340
struggled with the right hip line, Then
111
00:03:25.340 --> 00:03:27.020
load your swing into the self analysis
112
00:03:27.020 --> 00:03:29.259
tool and draw a line up there and work on
113
00:03:29.259 --> 00:03:30.699
trying to get yourself to shift over
114
00:03:30.699 --> 00:03:33.080
there. Now you're going to notice from,
115
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:34.500
because we're looking at this from a two
116
00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:36.680
dimensional space and the hips are
117
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:38.280
rotating, that the right hip can actually
118
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.500
move away from this line. Now, One of the
119
00:03:40.500 --> 00:03:42.639
big mistakes that we see is that people
120
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.240
actually get too far shifted over to this
121
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.520
trail side here, and they've got their
122
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:49.139
right knee into what we would call
123
00:03:49.139 --> 00:03:50.580
neutral joint alignment. That would have
124
00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:53.039
the center of the knee stacked right over
125
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:54.919
the top of the center of the ankle. So
126
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:56.740
that's one of those things that you can
127
00:03:56.740 --> 00:03:58.379
actually look for in your own golf swing.
128
00:03:58.379 --> 00:03:59.900
Is that if you've noticed that your right
129
00:03:59.900 --> 00:04:01.319
knee is right over the top of your ankle,
130
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:02.759
then chances are you've shifted too far.
131
00:04:02.979 --> 00:04:04.780
And what that's going to cause you to do,
132
00:04:04.900 --> 00:04:06.379
that's actually going to cause your head
133
00:04:06.379 --> 00:04:08.599
to move laterally off the golf ball too
134
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:10.819
much. And it's also going to make it very
135
00:04:10.819 --> 00:04:13.039
difficult for you to work in transition
136
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:14.439
back over to your lead side.
137
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:16.639
All right, guys, So your first checkpoint
138
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:18.000
here is just to make sure that you get
139
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:19.620
the right hip line really kind of worked
140
00:04:19.620 --> 00:04:21.379
out. You see Jason kind of get over there
141
00:04:21.379 --> 00:04:23.180
a little bit later, but in turn, he's
142
00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:24.860
still loaded into that right side. And
143
00:04:24.860 --> 00:04:26.139
he's going to start his downward move
144
00:04:26.139 --> 00:04:28.920
with a big shift of his lower half here.
145
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:30.500
So that's just setting things off on the
146
00:04:30.500 --> 00:04:32.759
right tone. All right, so right hip line,
147
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:34.399
that's the first and foremost. So shift
148
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.779
your weight, load up that trail side. And
149
00:04:36.779 --> 00:04:38.300
that that'll get things started off in
150
00:04:38.300 --> 00:04:39.680
the right tone. Now, the next big thing
151
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.040
that we need to focus on is centered
152
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:42.639
rotation. And again, you've probably
153
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:44.100
heard me say this, and you're probably
154
00:04:44.100 --> 00:04:45.720
sick and tired of hearing me say it. But
155
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:47.600
the whole mantra behind the rotary swing
156
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:51.360
is a big, big body turn, and a teeny tiny
157
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.379
little arm movement. So we've got to
158
00:04:53.379 --> 00:04:55.319
focus on the two critical areas of the
159
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:57.339
golf swing that a lot of amateur golfers
160
00:04:57.339 --> 00:04:59.319
really tend to screw up, to be quite
161
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:00.639
honest with you. And that is load and
162
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.540
rotation. And those of you that have
163
00:05:02.540 --> 00:05:03.899
worked with me, either in the unlimited
164
00:05:03.899 --> 00:05:05.980
review group, or in the in a private
165
00:05:05.980 --> 00:05:07.839
environment, you know that I'm a big
166
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:09.240
stickler when it comes to load and
167
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:09.680
rotation.
168
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:11.839
And what we want to do here is we want to
169
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.079
be able to, again, kind of going back to
170
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:15.680
the head position here, we want to be
171
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.839
able to rotate our body without our head
172
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:19.899
moving all over the place. It's okay to
173
00:05:19.899 --> 00:05:21.480
be able to have the head move an inch,
174
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:23.060
inch and a half. So that's fine, that's
175
00:05:23.060 --> 00:05:24.560
not going to kill you. But we want to be
176
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.519
able to maintain the angle of our spine.
177
00:05:27.180 --> 00:05:29.300
Okay, over here, like I've drawn on a
178
00:05:29.300 --> 00:05:30.600
down the line perspective, and we want to
179
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:32.439
be able to rotate our body without seeing
180
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:33.319
a lot of head movement.
181
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:35.980
So what you're going to see, Jason does
182
00:05:35.980 --> 00:05:37.800
very well, he stays very centered here,
183
00:05:37.939 --> 00:05:40.180
gets a very, very good load here. So you
184
00:05:40.180 --> 00:05:42.420
see he's made a good full 90 degree turn
185
00:05:42.420 --> 00:05:44.819
here. He's been able to maintain his axis
186
00:05:44.819 --> 00:05:46.860
tilt at the top of the swing here. You
187
00:05:46.860 --> 00:05:48.680
can see that his spine is still leaning
188
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:49.500
away from the target.
189
00:05:50.019 --> 00:05:51.680
All right, and then from a down the line
190
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:53.740
perspective, very similar looking move
191
00:05:53.740 --> 00:05:54.800
here, where you can see that he's
192
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:56.560
maintained his spine angle beautifully
193
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:57.819
here to the top of the swing.
194
00:05:58.459 --> 00:06:00.740
So now we've got things in order. We've
195
00:06:00.740 --> 00:06:03.079
got load, and we've got rotation. Those
196
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.000
are the two critical parts of building a
197
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.160
very good looking backswing. Because a
198
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:08.879
lot of times as golfers, we get fixated
199
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:10.300
on this hand and arm position here at the
200
00:06:10.300 --> 00:06:12.160
top, and we're like, okay, I want to work
201
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:13.300
to get my hands and arms up there. But
202
00:06:13.300 --> 00:06:14.800
the first thing that we start to do is
203
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.939
load up our shoulder girdles. And in
204
00:06:16.939 --> 00:06:18.060
turn, it makes it very difficult to make
205
00:06:18.060 --> 00:06:18.519
a good full
206
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:21.459
turn. And your arms are the first, your
207
00:06:21.459 --> 00:06:22.600
arms and your shoulders are the first
208
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:23.720
things that are loaded up, and they're
209
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:24.720
going to turn around and try to go the
210
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:25.300
other way first.
211
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:27.779
So that's why it's super critical for us
212
00:06:27.779 --> 00:06:29.220
to focus on load and rotation.
213
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.759
All right, So if you've had a hard time
214
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:34.439
with rotating without seeing your head or
215
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:36.519
seeing that your head is moving, I want
216
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:38.319
you guys to work on five minutes to
217
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:40.019
master rotation. Okay, That's a great
218
00:06:40.019 --> 00:06:41.000
video that's going to kind of give you
219
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:42.740
some step-by-step processes and what
220
00:06:42.740 --> 00:06:43.699
you're going to want to do, what you're
221
00:06:43.699 --> 00:06:45.500
going to want to have the body to start
222
00:06:45.500 --> 00:06:47.259
to try and compass when you're working on
223
00:06:47.259 --> 00:06:49.079
these. All right, so that's the second
224
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.120
thing. So we've got, obviously we've got
225
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:52.240
stance width, we've got our setup,
226
00:06:52.939 --> 00:06:54.459
we've got, now we've got weight shift and
227
00:06:54.459 --> 00:06:56.560
we get that right hip line. Now we've got
228
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.600
five minutes to master rotation. Once you
229
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:00.199
get that down, Once you notice that,
230
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:01.319
you're loading properly and you're
231
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:02.600
rotating without your head moving all
232
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:03.720
over the place, and you're maintaining
233
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.259
your spine angle, then it's time to start
234
00:07:06.259 --> 00:07:07.560
to work on your hand and arm positions.
235
00:07:07.899 --> 00:07:10.699
But don't put the cart before the horse
236
00:07:10.699 --> 00:07:12.519
here, all right? Don't go starting to
237
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:14.439
work on hand and arm positions if you're
238
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:15.740
not certain that you're rotating or
239
00:07:15.740 --> 00:07:16.399
loading properly.
240
00:07:16.939 --> 00:07:17.899
And that's what you can use the swing
241
00:07:17.899 --> 00:07:19.259
reviews for on the site. If you're a
242
00:07:19.259 --> 00:07:21.120
premium member, send swings in and ask
243
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:22.439
us. That's what our instructors are here
244
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:25.120
to do. All right, so now hand and arm
245
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:26.300
positions. What we're going to be
246
00:07:26.300 --> 00:07:27.779
focusing on is just a little bit of
247
00:07:27.779 --> 00:07:29.420
elevation and a little bit of flexion.
248
00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:31.920
Okay, and this is how Jason does really,
249
00:07:31.980 --> 00:07:34.220
Really well in his swing is that he gets
250
00:07:34.220 --> 00:07:35.540
things started off with the right tone
251
00:07:35.540 --> 00:07:37.360
because he's working on load and
252
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.540
rotation. So here we are into a takeaway
253
00:07:39.540 --> 00:07:40.079
position.
254
00:07:40.960 --> 00:07:42.680
Okay, both arms stay very nice and
255
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:44.120
relaxed and straight here.
256
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.180
Okay, you can see the club shaft parallel
257
00:07:46.180 --> 00:07:47.920
to the ground. Let's get it from a down
258
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:50.040
the line perspective as well. You can see
259
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:51.759
his chest turning at the same rate as a
260
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:52.180
club here.
261
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.600
Okay, his hands are directly in the
262
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:57.220
center of the chest. Both arms are nice
263
00:07:57.220 --> 00:07:59.860
and straight. It's made 45 degrees of
264
00:07:59.860 --> 00:08:02.100
shoulder rotation. So the hand and arm
265
00:08:02.100 --> 00:08:05.060
movements are really just facilitated by
266
00:08:05.060 --> 00:08:06.360
the rotation of the body. Now, when I
267
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:08.339
said a little bit of elevation, you're
268
00:08:08.339 --> 00:08:09.779
going to notice here that at the
269
00:08:09.779 --> 00:08:11.980
completed takeaway position, his arms
270
00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:14.199
have made a slight vertical movement.
271
00:08:14.740 --> 00:08:16.360
Okay, So if you were to stand there at a
272
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:18.800
dress and you were to just lift your arms
273
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:20.899
up, just a slight amount and elevation is
274
00:08:20.899 --> 00:08:22.199
a variable in the golf swing. We want it
275
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:24.180
to happen gradually. It's nothing we want
276
00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:24.660
to have.
277
00:08:25.740 --> 00:08:27.819
We do, in a sense, want to kind of keep
278
00:08:27.819 --> 00:08:29.180
things down the middle. So we always want
279
00:08:29.180 --> 00:08:30.379
things to be happening gradually.
280
00:08:30.980 --> 00:08:33.000
And what we're looking for at the top of
281
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:34.539
the golf swing here is we're looking for
282
00:08:34.539 --> 00:08:36.799
your right elbow to be in line with the
283
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:38.899
base of your chest. And we'll talk about
284
00:08:38.899 --> 00:08:39.419
that now.
285
00:08:39.980 --> 00:08:41.519
But elevation is one of those things that
286
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:42.919
happens gradually throughout the takeaway
287
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:44.820
and into the backswing. So we're going to
288
00:08:44.820 --> 00:08:46.759
go ahead and finish now into the top. So
289
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.379
he's elevated his hands a little bit.
290
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:49.759
They're at about the base of his pocket.
291
00:08:50.059 --> 00:08:51.700
He's going to add right arm flexion,
292
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:53.679
still continuing to rotate through the
293
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:55.360
entire process. And here he is at the top
294
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:55.960
of his swing.
295
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:57.940
And let me get it from a down the line
296
00:08:57.940 --> 00:08:58.679
perspective here.
297
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:02.519
So there's Jason right at the top. Very,
298
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:03.980
very good looking backswing position
299
00:09:03.980 --> 00:09:05.759
here. And what you're going to notice,
300
00:09:05.940 --> 00:09:08.019
like I said, is that we want the base or
301
00:09:08.019 --> 00:09:09.480
the right elbow to be right in line with
302
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.200
the base of the chest. And what it should
303
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:12.480
do is give you the appearance that your
304
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:14.000
hands are up above your right shoulder.
305
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:16.600
That's a very, very good backswing
306
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:19.039
position. So what we've done here, again,
307
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.340
Is focused on the big parts first, and
308
00:09:21.340 --> 00:09:22.940
then added a little bit of elevation and
309
00:09:22.940 --> 00:09:24.200
a little bit of flexion in the arms. Now,
310
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:25.820
remember, our arms are generally the
311
00:09:25.820 --> 00:09:27.279
things that are trained most in our golf
312
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:29.139
swing. So it's going to be, it can be a
313
00:09:29.139 --> 00:09:30.379
tricky thing to retrain.
314
00:09:30.899 --> 00:09:32.220
And what you're looking for, again, at
315
00:09:32.220 --> 00:09:33.620
the top of the swing is that your right
316
00:09:33.620 --> 00:09:35.179
elbow is not going to be behind your
317
00:09:35.179 --> 00:09:36.960
body. You want it to be in line with your
318
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:38.159
chest. You don't want to see that it's
319
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:39.240
lower. You don't want to see that it's
320
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:40.919
much higher. You can go to a higher
321
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:42.620
elevation point, but just remember, we
322
00:09:42.620 --> 00:09:44.019
want to kind of keep things in balance.
323
00:09:44.179 --> 00:09:45.600
You're going to have to, at that point,
324
00:09:45.659 --> 00:09:47.059
if you go to more width, you're going to
325
00:09:47.059 --> 00:09:48.500
have to take away from something in the
326
00:09:48.500 --> 00:09:50.120
equation, which generally you're going to
327
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:51.179
have to be a little bit more patient with
328
00:09:51.179 --> 00:09:52.080
your body on the way down.
329
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:55.080
So a couple of great videos to help you
330
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:56.320
guys out with that is five minutes to a
331
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:58.200
perfect backswing. All right. That's a
332
00:09:58.200 --> 00:09:59.679
great video that kind of talks about how
333
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:02.940
to get into, Move through these details
334
00:10:02.940 --> 00:10:04.340
and work into the top of your swing when
335
00:10:04.340 --> 00:10:05.500
we start to get the hands and arms back
336
00:10:05.500 --> 00:10:06.000
on things.
337
00:10:06.860 --> 00:10:08.559
Pool noodle shoulder elevation video.
338
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:09.919
That's a video that's going to give you
339
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.820
two checkpoints to show you where we can
340
00:10:12.820 --> 00:10:14.840
start to build elevation gradually into
341
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:16.879
the golf swing. And then five minutes to
342
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:18.539
a perfect backswing checkpoints video.
343
00:10:18.659 --> 00:10:19.779
All right. That's going to talk about
344
00:10:19.779 --> 00:10:21.519
elevation, inflection and a little bit of
345
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:23.059
external humorous rotation that we didn't
346
00:10:23.059 --> 00:10:23.840
mention in this review.
347
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.220
All right, guys. So that all these videos
348
00:10:26.220 --> 00:10:27.559
that we just discussed are going to be
349
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:29.240
over here to the right hand side of Video
350
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:30.840
player in the Recommended Videos tab.
351
00:10:31.379 --> 00:10:32.899
All right. And that's going to, you can
352
00:10:32.899 --> 00:10:34.259
work through those things in order, but
353
00:10:34.259 --> 00:10:35.580
make sure that you're watching your own
354
00:10:35.580 --> 00:10:37.039
golf swing. You're evaluating things and
355
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:38.340
make sure that you're understanding it.
356
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:40.120
Okay. I've got proper width. I've got
357
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:41.580
proper shift into that trail side, but I
358
00:10:41.580 --> 00:10:43.139
still see that I'm not rotating properly
359
00:10:43.139 --> 00:10:45.379
or you're losing axis tilt. Make sure
360
00:10:45.379 --> 00:10:47.159
that you get these things down before you
361
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:48.779
start focusing on these smaller detail
362
00:10:48.779 --> 00:10:51.039
things like a hand and arm position at
363
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:52.980
the top of the swing. And you'll be well
364
00:10:52.980 --> 00:10:54.419
on your way to getting a backswing
365
00:10:54.419 --> 00:10:56.299
position, just like Jason Day. All right,
366
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.080
guys. So that's today's analysis. Now get
367
00:10:58.080 --> 00:10:59.179
out there and build that good looking
368
00:10:59.179 --> 00:11:01.200
backswing and do it in order. And let's
369
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:01.879
play some great golf.

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."
-Hub Orr - Happy PREMIUM MEMBER of RotarySwing.com
