00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
In this analysis video, we're going to take a look at AccessTilt by looking at the Jackson

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000
5 and the Bracing movement.

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
So it's an easy movement to see from the down the line camera angle, but it's hard to

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000
get a real accurate measurement.

00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,000
So a common question is how much lower body shift should I have.

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000
So right here on the screen I've got Roy McRoy now.

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000
I know with the driver he's towards the, he's close to the six inch range of lower

00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
body shift and then we've got Gary Woodland and I know that he's very close to the

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,000
four inch range.

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000
So what we'll see is if we look at Roy McRoy now, this is technically three wood and

00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,000
the camera moves a tiny bit.

00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,000
But basically as he starts down you'll see his lower body shifts pretty close to half

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,000
a box and then as he continues to rotate, the trick is to be, there the tricky thing is to

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
be able to see exactly where the center of his pelvis is.

00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
But as he makes contact with the golf ball you can see that the center of his pelvis moved

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
about half of his pelvis width because it was pretty close to the middle of this and then

00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
it moved pretty close to this end line.

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Now Gary Woodland we're going to see is going to move about a third of a pelvis width.

00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,000
So you'll see that lower body really bump and initiate the down swing.

00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:22,000
So we'll replay that a couple times so we can see that lower body leading that down swing

00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000
with more of a lateral shift before it really starts to rotate as he goes into that

00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,000
post that move and then when he makes contact with the golf ball right about here, you

00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,000
can see that the center of his pelvis is moved more or less a third of a box which is

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
kind of the lower end of tour average with a driver.

00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Now according to Dr. Rob Neal they saw about the same amount of lower body shift with

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
iron's.

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,000
I typically see a fairly close to a little bit less depending on the style but we're

00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,000
going to take a look at a number of tour pros in this video so that we can see examples

00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
of different strategies of creating this tilt.

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:12,000
The ultimate goal especially with the driver is if we take that line away.

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:21,000
The ultimate goal of the Jackson 5 is to help power the swing and the ultimate goal of

00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000
the Jackson 5 in the bracing is to create this axis tilt and basically what that refers

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,000
to is if we were to imagine a line along the spine through the pelvis kind of into that

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000
lead foot.

00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,000
The better drivers of the golf bar are going to have a larger axis tilt so they're

00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:44,000
going to tend to be a little bit more upper body behind where the lower body is.

00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
One of the metrics that we're able to measure is where is your the center of your upper body

00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
compared to where is the center of your lower body.

00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000
The greatest difference between those two is going to be roughly shaft parallel in the

00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,000
follow-through and a lot of good drivers like golf baller up in the 6, 7, even 8

00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,000
in range.

00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:11,000
I know Roy is up in the 8 in range and I know that Gary Woodland here is up in the 7,

00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000
7 in range something like that.

00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,000
You can see that there's a fair amount of tilt away from the target and the Jackson 5

00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,000
is kind of how you start that tilt and then the bracing movement is how you continue

00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000
it through the release.

00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000
We'll take a look at a number of different strategies.

00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,000
You can have more rotation, you can have more slide.

00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,000
This is a general pattern that you'll see especially with the driver and the longer

00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,000
clubs to help get the proper angle of attack.

00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
What you'll see is as he goes down, you'll see that he creates a fair amount of axis tilt

00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,000
and when he gets to this point, you'll actually see that upper body kind of drift back

00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
just slightly.

00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Over here with the wedge, you will tend to see a little bit of that forward bump or that

00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Jackson 5 move and then as he goes into the release instead of having his upper body

00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,000
really kind of back up, it just kind of stabilizes there.

00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:16,000
The difference in that back up move versus just stabilizing is the upper body here is a little

00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,000
bit more on top of the lower body and the lower body is more or less on top of the foot.

00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Here the lower body, the center of his hit joint is probably somewhere right around that

00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,000
one right there.

00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,000
You'll see that that typically won't go past the inside of the heel until after the

00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
golf ball.

00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000
But you'll see that his upper body is behind it.

00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:45,000
That's kind of the bracing strategy is if your upper body is too far on top like he is

00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,000
in the wedge, if I was to come here and pull that club that way, he would pretty much fall

00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,000
over.

00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000
But in this position because his upper body is behind the lower body, if I were to go pull

00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
on the club, it would not pull him over.

00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000
He would have that lead leg to be able to brace with.

00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,000
So now over on the right we have Ben Hogan on the left we have Dustin Johnson.

00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
We'll just look at a few more.

00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Now you'll see that Ben Hogan is going to be starting that lateral bump or that Jackson

00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:19,000
5 move just before the top of his arm swing and then because he's hitting an iron, you'll

00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:27,000
see that he gets that hip socket more or less on top of the foot and you'll see he pretty

00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:35,000
much post up there as he goes to rotate through into that follow-through position.

00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Now when he makes contact he still has a good amount of that upper body to behind the golf

00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,000
ball.

00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,000
It's a little hard to see all the details because the quality of camera wasn't as good

00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
back then as it is right now.

00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:54,000
So here we have Dustin Johnson and you'll be able to see there's that lower body shift

00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:01,000
and then the longer hitters are going to have a greater distance between their lead

00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,000
hip and that lead foot.

00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,000
If you get too much on top of it then when you push into the ground all the force will

00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:16,000
tend to push you more up where if you have this angle then when you push into the ground

00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,000
it will tend to push you more back that way and help create some of the rotation.

00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:31,000
So we'll see that he basically posts up there and then he has a combination of medium-sized

00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Jackson tilt and then a medium-sized of the upper body going back.

00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
What we're going to see next is we're going to take a look at some golfers who tend

00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:44,000
to not have as much of the lateral shift tend to be lower on the scale of closer to the

00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:49,000
three four inch range and they will tend to have more of the upper body shifting back which

00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,000
I have found is a little bit tougher to teach most amateur golfers rather than the lower

00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
body moving towards the target.

00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Especially when you're hitting an iron's a lot of amateur golfers when their upper body

00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,000
starts moving back creating more side bend that way tend to have bottom-to-swing issues

00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000
and hit a lot of fat and thin shots.

00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000
So over on the left we have our nails over on the right we have Jamie Settlowski, one

00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,000
of the longest hitters on the planet.

00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:21,000
So here you'll see Ernie L's having I've seen his 3D he's kind of in the 4 inch range.

00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Now this is an iron so it could be a little bit more a little bit less but he's kind

00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:31,000
of on that lower end of average and then you'll see as he goes to release because it's

00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:37,000
an iron he can more or less stay on top of it but you'll see that his first movement

00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:44,000
really before the arms reach parallel is to get that left hip joint in the general vicinity

00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
of that lead foot.

00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,000
That in and by itself is the Jackson 5 movement that we try to teach.

00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,000
So then here we're going to see Jamie Settlowski who doesn't have nearly as much side

00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,000
tilt and now part of that is going to be the further he's going to be behind that

00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,000
then when he pushes that lead foot into the ground it's going to create more of the side

00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,000
bend and rotation.

00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,000
So now when he gets to about delivery position which for him is probably somewhere in

00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:17,000
right around here you'll see that as he goes to press with that lower body if we were

00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,000
to just kind of monitor where his upper body is because he didn't have a very big slide

00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,000
in order to create that access to tilt and create that positive angle of attack he's

00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,000
going to have his upper body shifts significantly away from the golf ball.

00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000
There are a number of very good drivers of the golf ball who have this pattern where

00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:41,000
the upper body is three, four, five inches further away from the target than where it was

00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,000
when it started but the overall goal is creating this access to so that we can have the

00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:52,000
shallowness from the body which will allow us to rotate and get those arms to extend

00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,000
on the way through.

00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,000
So we'll look at a few more we've got Ricky Fowler on the left Kenny Perry on the right.

00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:05,000
So Ricky unfortunately this clip starts mid-back swing and just right about where this is.

00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Ricky on his 3D tends to shift a few inches towards the target with the pelvis so if we

00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000
had him it set up and we had a little bit more square camera angle I think it would look

00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,000
like he shifts even less during the downswing but more during the backswing but because

00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000
he's already shifted over there you'll see the downswing is not going to have a very

00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,000
big lateral shift and so as a result you'll see his head compared to that stand is going

00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:35,000
to work its way backward in order to get this impact alignment of this access tilt that's

00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000
key for the driver.

00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Kenny Perry we can see has a little bit more of that rotation similar to that Jamie said

00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,000
loudseey move and then once he gets to delivery position right about here as he starts

00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:53,000
going into the release you can see that head move a few inches away from the target so that

00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
he gets this tilt.

00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:02,000
If you are going to stay more centered with your lower body then your upper body is

00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:09,000
going to have to shift a little bit more off the golf ball or sorry away from the target

00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,000
down during the release in order to create that bracing movement or the Jackson 5 movement.

00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:19,000
So the Jackson 5 is going to be more of a transition bump where the bracing movement is

00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:26,000
going to be more of the release stabilization piece but both of them are built into creating

00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000
this good side bend rotation and access tilt.

00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,000
So as we look at Tigers start his downswing we can see a little bit of that bump but again

00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:42,000
more towards that lower range that perfectly acceptable three to four inch range but you'll

00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:48,000
see that he doesn't have a ton of that upper body going back and so since he kind of has

00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:55,000
the low slide of the lower body and not going back with the upper body he tends to have a little

00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,000
bit more of a path issue as it relates to the driver.

00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Over here with Troy we'll see this is when he was doing stack until and so you'll see

00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,000
there's no real room for the Jackson 5 movement because he's essentially done it during

00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,000
the backswing.

00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:17,000
So what we would expect to see is that upper body kind of working more back in order to

00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,000
create this tilt away from my golf ball.

00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,000
So whether you start on the left side and then stay there and tilt behind it or whether

00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:30,000
you have a little bit of a bump where you have the upper body going back the goal especially

00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:36,000
with the longer clubs pretty much I'd say six iron through driver is to get this really

00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,000
good access tilt in order to have the arms extended the right time and create that good

00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,000
flat spot for consistency.

00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:50,000
This is not something that I've collected camera angles for yet so unfortunately the best

00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:56,000
I could find on YouTube of kind of a higher handicap golfer is this pattern here where

00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:04,000
you'll see neither the tilt nor the upper body moving back and so when this person comes

00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:10,000
through you can see that the upper body and the lower body are basically in the same line

00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:16,000
and she's using a fall hang back method to help her square the face but you'll tend

00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:22,000
to see a mini version of this where the lower body just tends to spin and the upper body

00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:28,000
stays on top as a common pattern for amateur golfers who struggle especially with the

00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,000
driver.

00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Now here we have Steve Strikker on the right hitting kind of a three-quarter wedge so you'll

00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:41,000
see a very slight little lower body bump and then the upper body kind of staying more

00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:47,000
less on top of it and as he comes through you'll see that there's not a ton of tilt

00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:52,000
it's very very slight typically on 3D I'm gonna see in the the one to two inch range

00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:58,000
where with the driver golfers tended to get more in this six seven eight range with the

00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,000
better golfers being closer to that seven eight range so hopefully this helps you visualize

00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:12,000
what we're trying to do during this downswing and release pattern in order to create this

00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Jackson five or bracing move you can use video and you can kind of see which of these movements

00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,000
you may be struggling with and know that if you're struggling with getting your upper body

00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:28,000
behind your lower body it's probably more of a steep arm movement in transition or an inability

00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:35,000
to close the club facing at the with those arms extending during the release so if you have any

00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,000
questions about the Jackson five movement the bracing movement or any of the other movements that we
