This concept video is answering the member question.

1
00:00:07.955 --> 00:00:10.815
Is access tilt in the downswing created from the lumbar

2
00:00:10.835 --> 00:00:11.895
or thoracic spine?

3
00:00:12.485 --> 00:00:14.535
Well, the simple answer is that it's both.

4
00:00:15.035 --> 00:00:18.935
Um, ideally, the part of your spine that's gonna do most

5
00:00:18.995 --> 00:00:22.495
of the rotational movement side bend movement extension

6
00:00:22.735 --> 00:00:25.335
movement, um, is going to be kind of the middle

7
00:00:25.335 --> 00:00:29.135
of the thoracic sign, somewhere around T six, uh, down

8
00:00:29.195 --> 00:00:31.415
to the, uh, down to the pelvis,

9
00:00:31.435 --> 00:00:33.535
or really down to about L three, L four

10
00:00:33.535 --> 00:00:36.775
and L five don't have quite as much motion, um, uh,

11
00:00:36.775 --> 00:00:38.295
because the ligament structure there.

12
00:00:38.555 --> 00:00:41.535
Uh, so we're really looking at trying to get most

13
00:00:41.535 --> 00:00:42.815
of the movement happening here.

14
00:00:43.315 --> 00:00:46.895
Um, what I, I think tends

15
00:00:46.895 --> 00:00:48.975
to happen is some golfers have a little bit more

16
00:00:48.975 --> 00:00:50.015
of a look like this,

17
00:00:50.555 --> 00:00:53.815
and, uh, some golf instructors will say that that's more

18
00:00:53.815 --> 00:00:55.255
of a lumbar tilt,

19
00:00:55.315 --> 00:00:57.615
and some golfers will have a little bit more

20
00:00:57.675 --> 00:00:59.855
of a look like this, and they'll say there more

21
00:00:59.855 --> 00:01:01.055
of the side bend is happening.

22
00:01:01.355 --> 00:01:05.415
Um, from the thoracic spine, I think that, uh,

23
00:01:05.805 --> 00:01:09.615
what we're potentially looking at is, um, the effect

24
00:01:09.615 --> 00:01:11.055
of what's happening with the pelvis

25
00:01:11.235 --> 00:01:14.815
and how much translation is taken place, uh,

26
00:01:14.815 --> 00:01:17.215
before going into that side bend.

27
00:01:17.435 --> 00:01:20.615
Um, but from a, just a biomechanics perspective,

28
00:01:20.715 --> 00:01:24.615
if we're looking at the body, we basically want, um,

29
00:01:24.945 --> 00:01:28.335
everything from about, uh, nipple level

30
00:01:28.435 --> 00:01:29.535
or the bottom of your chest

31
00:01:29.535 --> 00:01:30.775
or the bottom of your shoulder blades.

32
00:01:30.775 --> 00:01:35.535
From there down, kind of working as one cohesive unit.

33
00:01:35.955 --> 00:01:39.375
Um, it's basically going to have some rotation

34
00:01:39.565 --> 00:01:41.215
with a little bit of crunch and,

35
00:01:41.595 --> 00:01:44.175
and, uh, translation there in transition.

36
00:01:44.355 --> 00:01:48.015
And then it's going to have more of this side bend extension

37
00:01:48.115 --> 00:01:52.255
or the, the technical term, um, for the blended movement

38
00:01:52.255 --> 00:01:53.975
that we want is negative torsion.

39
00:01:54.315 --> 00:01:57.895
Um, so the, the movement during the release is going

40
00:01:57.895 --> 00:02:02.135
to be more of this blend of rotation, extension side bend,

41
00:02:02.275 --> 00:02:03.655
um, while still lengthening.

42
00:02:03.755 --> 00:02:05.055
That's a key component to it.

43
00:02:05.315 --> 00:02:08.175
Um, and when you do that, that tends to help, um,

44
00:02:09.045 --> 00:02:10.695
control the depth of low point.

45
00:02:10.755 --> 00:02:12.415
So it allows you to be in a position

46
00:02:12.545 --> 00:02:15.135
where you're a little bit more over that front foot, um,

47
00:02:15.155 --> 00:02:17.215
and where you can cover the ball a little bit better.

48
00:02:17.555 --> 00:02:20.135
Um, so it's a hallmark of some swings,

49
00:02:20.155 --> 00:02:23.095
but other golfers who don't have as much of

50
00:02:23.095 --> 00:02:25.695
that translation will appear that they're built, uh,

51
00:02:25.695 --> 00:02:27.055
they're tilted a little bit more back

52
00:02:27.195 --> 00:02:29.575
and they will tend to have a little bit earlier,

53
00:02:30.195 --> 00:02:31.775
um, movement of the shoulder blades.

54
00:02:32.155 --> 00:02:34.495
In my, in my opinion, that tends

55
00:02:34.515 --> 00:02:36.015
to require a little bit more timing.

56
00:02:36.355 --> 00:02:39.495
Um, but it can be more comfortable.

57
00:02:39.635 --> 00:02:41.175
It can potentially work,

58
00:02:41.195 --> 00:02:43.695
but again, I think they tend to have a little bit more,

59
00:02:44.195 --> 00:02:46.095
um, bigger misses.

60
00:02:46.095 --> 00:02:48.575
And I, I think in general, we, they tend

61
00:02:48.575 --> 00:02:50.415
to have a little bit less consistency.

62
00:02:50.795 --> 00:02:55.255
So, um, kind of to put it to bed, what you see

63
00:02:55.435 --> 00:02:57.495
as far as is the ribcage, lumbar

64
00:02:57.495 --> 00:03:01.125
or thoracic spine, um, that's not really the key,

65
00:03:01.465 --> 00:03:03.125
the key to look at.

66
00:03:03.195 --> 00:03:06.085
It's more about the amount of translation first

67
00:03:06.345 --> 00:03:09.645
and what's happening at the pelvis that will, uh, kind

68
00:03:09.645 --> 00:03:12.445
of coordinate how much, um, access tilt we're seeing.

69
00:03:12.445 --> 00:03:15.525
It's not really a drastic difference in the

70
00:03:15.525 --> 00:03:16.565
amount of side bend.

71
00:03:16.695 --> 00:03:17.885
Maybe the feeling

72
00:03:18.105 --> 00:03:20.205
and the way that it's creating the side bend,

73
00:03:20.345 --> 00:03:21.405
but not really the amount.
