Lower Body / Upper Body Connection Drill Video(s)? ¶

By: Ed C on July 12, 2020, 3:36 p.m.

I was looking for a drill video on GSA that could help ingrain the connection between lower body & upper body during the downswing. For me, I find on video that my lower body turns hard but the torso doesn't rotate through enough on the downswing. When I do get the torso turning through better, it forces better & more shallow arm action, and helps eliminate the late early extension in the DTL view.

I recall this upper body / lower body connection was discussed briefly in the Cameron Champ swing analysis video, but was hoping there was a drill video we could practice from?

Thanks!

Hi Ed,

Getting the core involved can be really helpful for some. here are a few videos that address ways to train it. It's important to note that the trail shoulder blade is an important piece of this puzzle. That's why when you get more core, your shoulders normally shallow a bit.
