Okay everyone, as promised, this week's
7
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:18.899
swing analysis is going to be on the
8
00:00:18.899 --> 00:00:21.359
lovely Miss Lisa Cornwell, the newest
9
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:22.640
addition to the Golf Channel team.
10
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:25.019
Congratulations to Lisa for joining the
11
00:00:25.019 --> 00:00:26.059
team, I know she's going to be great
12
00:00:26.059 --> 00:00:29.280
there. And Lisa joined RotarySwing.com
13
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:30.800
probably about three or four months ago,
14
00:00:30.859 --> 00:00:32.759
and I've recently had the pleasure of
15
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:33.920
working with her in some private
16
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:34.359
instruction.
17
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:36.619
And I want to go over some of the stuff
18
00:00:36.619 --> 00:00:37.920
that her and I did throughout her
19
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:41.039
session, which ultimately led her to
20
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:43.060
being able to control her starting line a
21
00:00:43.060 --> 00:00:45.420
little bit better, and enhanced her ball
22
00:00:45.420 --> 00:00:45.759
striking.
23
00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:48.539
So those of you that have ever had a
24
00:00:48.539 --> 00:00:49.899
problem with being hip spinners or
25
00:00:49.899 --> 00:00:51.340
getting the club a little bit stuck, this
26
00:00:51.340 --> 00:00:52.539
is one of those reviews that you want to
27
00:00:52.539 --> 00:00:54.619
pay very close attention to. All right,
28
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:57.299
so Lisa came to me, And one of the first
29
00:00:57.299 --> 00:00:58.979
things that we noticed is that when she
30
00:00:58.979 --> 00:01:00.299
gets the club to the top, part of her
31
00:01:00.299 --> 00:01:03.299
golf swing, and she starts down, she's
32
00:01:03.299 --> 00:01:06.359
trying to time her weight shift with the
33
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:08.739
arms. Okay, so when you're trying to time
34
00:01:08.739 --> 00:01:10.280
your weight shift with the arms, what's
35
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.040
going to happen is you're going to start
36
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:13.739
to push with the right side of the body.
37
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:15.599
Okay, you're pushing with the right leg,
38
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.659
you're pushing with all that right side,
39
00:01:17.659 --> 00:01:19.480
and what that's going to do is it's going
40
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:21.219
to force the hips to race to an open
41
00:01:21.219 --> 00:01:23.579
position. All right, so you can see here
42
00:01:23.579 --> 00:01:25.280
where she's got the club head, she's got
43
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.200
the club head way out behind her.
44
00:01:27.820 --> 00:01:29.439
And what I want you to do is pay very
45
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:30.980
close attention to what her right foot
46
00:01:30.980 --> 00:01:33.040
does at impact. Okay, so here she is at
47
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:34.500
impact, and you can see how the right
48
00:01:34.500 --> 00:01:36.700
foot has come off the ground, and you can
49
00:01:36.700 --> 00:01:38.579
see that she's pushed these hips to a
50
00:01:38.579 --> 00:01:41.040
much more open position than she needs.
51
00:01:41.459 --> 00:01:43.500
All right, so one of the things that her
52
00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:44.840
and I talked about is the role of the
53
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:45.959
right foot in the downswing, which is
54
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:47.079
actually a video on the website.
55
00:01:47.659 --> 00:01:49.379
And how we're going to use the right foot
56
00:01:49.379 --> 00:01:51.719
as a break, as almost like a breaking
57
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.400
mechanism, to kind of slow the hip line
58
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.239
down. All right, so if you haven't seen
59
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.040
that video, please check out the role of
60
00:01:58.040 --> 00:01:59.260
the right foot in the downswing section.
61
00:01:59.459 --> 00:02:00.879
That's a really good video for you to
62
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.140
understand how the lower half, or how the
63
00:02:03.140 --> 00:02:04.079
right foot operates.
64
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.400
And then what we also wanted to do is we
65
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:07.840
also wanted to talk about controlling the
66
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:09.599
starting line. Because as she gets the
67
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:11.340
club into this stuck position back here,
68
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:13.419
the hands and arms are going to get a lot
69
00:02:13.419 --> 00:02:14.759
late in her sequence, and you're going to
70
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.180
see that her golf ball, as I go through
71
00:02:17.180 --> 00:02:18.080
another frame here,
72
00:02:18.620 --> 00:02:20.280
is going to start out to the right.
73
00:02:20.819 --> 00:02:23.219
Okay, you can see there where we would
74
00:02:23.219 --> 00:02:24.800
really want this golf ball starting over
75
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:25.659
in this neck of the woods.
76
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:27.979
All right, so what we did throughout the
77
00:02:27.979 --> 00:02:29.639
session is, is we talked about getting
78
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:31.219
the weight seated over to the left side a
79
00:02:31.219 --> 00:02:32.699
little bit earlier, so she's not trying
80
00:02:32.699 --> 00:02:34.120
to time the weight shift with the arms.
81
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.599
And if we focus over here on the right
82
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.879
hand side of the screen, this is from the
83
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:40.539
second half of the session, or towards
84
00:02:40.539 --> 00:02:42.080
the end of the session, after we
85
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:43.419
discussed about getting the weight into
86
00:02:43.419 --> 00:02:44.680
the left side a little bit earlier, and
87
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.360
then working on the position of the right
88
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.520
foot. So what I want you guys to notice
89
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.240
here is at the top part of the golf
90
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:53.960
swing, and she starts to work down,
91
00:02:54.580 --> 00:02:56.180
she's getting her weight seated over the
92
00:02:56.180 --> 00:02:58.680
left side much earlier, and here's the
93
00:02:58.680 --> 00:02:59.599
same frame
94
00:03:00.259 --> 00:03:01.939
as where she was at the start of the
95
00:03:01.939 --> 00:03:03.500
session, and what I want you to notice is
96
00:03:03.500 --> 00:03:05.120
where the club head is. She's got the
97
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:06.460
club head more out in front of her now,
98
00:03:06.860 --> 00:03:08.180
the hands and arms are going to start to
99
00:03:08.180 --> 00:03:10.500
pass in front of the body. And now watch
100
00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:12.580
this drastic change to the right foot. So
101
00:03:12.580 --> 00:03:15.719
as she moves through here, okay, into
102
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:17.520
impact, there's her impact position.
103
00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:19.020
Notice the right foot is still all the
104
00:03:19.020 --> 00:03:21.020
way on the ground. All right, it's rolled
105
00:03:21.020 --> 00:03:23.080
to the inside part of that foot. And
106
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:24.599
also, if we back up
107
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:27.879
a frame here on the left hand side of the
108
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:29.900
screen, you can notice that she's really
109
00:03:29.900 --> 00:03:31.879
crammed here, the right thigh into the
110
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.099
hands, which is a really big indicator of
111
00:03:34.099 --> 00:03:36.159
being stuck. Where this one, she's got a
112
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.120
little bit more spacing between the hands
113
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.240
and the right thigh. So that was a big,
114
00:03:40.340 --> 00:03:42.560
big change in her golf swing and a very
115
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.599
positive change. And just to see the
116
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.699
results of the starting line, after she
117
00:03:46.699 --> 00:03:49.780
hits this golf shot, you can see the golf
118
00:03:49.780 --> 00:03:51.960
ball starting down the target line. Ball
119
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:53.699
came off with a lot more penetrating ball
120
00:03:53.699 --> 00:03:54.060
flight.
121
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.620
So this was a very, very positive change
122
00:03:56.620 --> 00:03:57.340
to her golf swing.
123
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.319
So those of you that have ever felt like
124
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:01.759
you're getting stuck in your downswing,
125
00:04:01.900 --> 00:04:05.020
pay very close attention to the role of
126
00:04:05.020 --> 00:04:06.560
the right foot, making sure that you're
127
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:08.180
not pushing the hips to an open position.
128
00:04:08.379 --> 00:04:10.539
And then I also want you to look at this
129
00:04:10.539 --> 00:04:12.460
drill called trace the plane line. And
130
00:04:12.460 --> 00:04:13.819
that's why I have this alignment stick in
131
00:04:13.819 --> 00:04:15.620
the ground, because her and I were
132
00:04:15.620 --> 00:04:17.420
working on tracing the plane line before
133
00:04:17.420 --> 00:04:19.680
we hit some shots. And that's what led
134
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.459
her to being able to rotate the forearms
135
00:04:21.459 --> 00:04:22.720
a little bit more and get the club head
136
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.160
more out in front of her body. And which
137
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:26.959
led to some huge results with her ball
138
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:27.360
striking.
139
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:29.319
Okay. So again, those of you that have
140
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.180
ever struggled getting stuck, really make
141
00:04:31.180 --> 00:04:32.459
sure that you're getting seated into that
142
00:04:32.459 --> 00:04:34.399
left side. Check out the role of the
143
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.339
right foot in the downswing section. Also
144
00:04:36.339 --> 00:04:37.899
check out trace the plane line and put
145
00:04:37.899 --> 00:04:39.879
those to use, get the club more out in
146
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:40.959
front of you and let's hit some great
147
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:42.660
golf shots. I look forward to working
148
00:04:42.660 --> 00:04:44.420
more with you guys in the future. Let's
149
00:04:44.420 --> 00:04:45.139
play some good golf.
