00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:09.500
Drill is the backswing hip tilt. So oftentimes when

1
00:00:09.500 --> 00:00:12.600
we're working on the backswing we're working on trying to

2
00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:15.200
load this whole Sling from my foot up

3
00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:18.300
through my core and into my shoulders. We do that by

4
00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:22.100
getting a blend of rotation and extension and side

5
00:00:21.100 --> 00:00:24.100
Bend. Well, some golfers do a really

6
00:00:24.100 --> 00:00:27.100
good job of doing it at the shoulders, but their hips kind of

7
00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:30.900
stay a little bit too level in the backswing which prevents

8
00:00:30.900 --> 00:00:34.100
getting the proper load in the foot as

9
00:00:33.100 --> 00:00:36.600
well as it can tend to cause some

10
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.900
compensation movements. I'll walk you through those. So if

11
00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:42.200
I were to place the when I do

12
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:45.600
the Merry-Go-Round or the backswing shoulder plane, I tend

13
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.200
to place the club up at the shoulders, but for this drill, I'm

14
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.300
gonna place it more at the Beltline or at the hip so

15
00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:54.300
my thumbs are gonna go on my hip bones or the outside of

16
00:00:54.300 --> 00:00:56.500
the hip the greater trochanter right out here, so,

17
00:00:57.700 --> 00:01:00.700
Now what I'm going to do is as I make a backswing I'm

18
00:01:00.700 --> 00:01:03.600
going to try to feel like the left hip

19
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.500
is dropping down as it comes in and

20
00:01:06.500 --> 00:01:09.600
the right hip is going a little bit more up. So

21
00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:12.100
I'm trying to exaggerate feeling a little

22
00:01:12.100 --> 00:01:16.000
bit of this movement when I'm making my backswing. So

23
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.500
I'm golfers you tend to stay to level will

24
00:01:18.500 --> 00:01:21.300
either shift off

25
00:01:21.300 --> 00:01:24.900
the ball like this or have the

26
00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:27.300
appearance of more of a reverse weight shift in

27
00:01:27.300 --> 00:01:30.000
order to get that upper body more kind of

28
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.900
centered or to not shift off the wall. So this hip tilt

29
00:01:33.900 --> 00:01:36.400
can help solve a couple

30
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.000
of upper body pivot related issues. The

31
00:01:39.100 --> 00:01:42.300
other one that it tends to happen is if your upper

32
00:01:42.300 --> 00:01:46.000
body shifts off the ball, one of two things is happening either the hips

33
00:01:45.300 --> 00:01:48.700
are turning to level or the spine is

34
00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:51.700
staying inflection and not going into any extension. So

35
00:01:51.700 --> 00:01:54.400
if I was to turn my hips really well,

36
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.200
but stay in flexion. You can see my upper body would shift

37
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:57.600
off the

38
00:01:57.700 --> 00:02:00.500
All but some people will tend

39
00:02:00.500 --> 00:02:03.300
to extend the spine but still

40
00:02:03.300 --> 00:02:06.600
turn off the ball because this left hip is actually getting almost lower

41
00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:09.600
or the hips are turning very level. So we're getting

42
00:02:09.600 --> 00:02:13.000
that left hip down right hip up shoulder

43
00:02:12.100 --> 00:02:15.600
down and then the arms out in front that will

44
00:02:15.600 --> 00:02:18.200
give us kind of a benchmark or as far

45
00:02:18.200 --> 00:02:20.900
as a feeling of where to go with the hips now.

46
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.700
I tell you that it's pretty

47
00:02:24.700 --> 00:02:27.200
split as far as my students

48
00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:30.900
who are working on this as far as which side they feel some

49
00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:33.400
people love to feel this right hip

50
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.900
going up instead of kind of Shifting laterally, especially

51
00:02:36.900 --> 00:02:40.000
if there's a big sway component or especially

52
00:02:39.100 --> 00:02:42.400
for golfers you tend to really under rotate the

53
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.100
backswing kind of plant the hip and just go

54
00:02:45.100 --> 00:02:48.300
like this. They'll feel it letting that feeling that hip

55
00:02:48.300 --> 00:02:51.200
go up helps to encourage it encourage the

56
00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:54.000
pelvis to rotate but I have some other golfers who tend to

57
00:02:54.100 --> 00:02:57.400
feel more that lead side coming down or

58
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.800
that left side kind of releasing some people tend

59
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:03.800
to just kind of like anchor that knee and not

60
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:07.000
really move the lower body like this. So either way

61
00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:08.700
by doing this drill.

62
00:03:09.900 --> 00:03:12.600
Handful of times we're gonna get a sense

63
00:03:12.600 --> 00:03:15.200
like today. I think I feel more in this right hip

64
00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:18.300
going up rather than that left hip going down, but we'll

65
00:03:18.300 --> 00:03:19.900
see as we put it in play now.

66
00:03:21.700 --> 00:03:24.100
Oftentimes golfers who don't do a really good job with the hips

67
00:03:24.100 --> 00:03:28.400
kind of overload the arms. So this can be great into combining

68
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.300
with a triangle drill where basically I'm

69
00:03:30.300 --> 00:03:33.200
gonna feel like my arms stay straight and then I'm gonna feel like

70
00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:36.800
I make a backswing just with the hips where

71
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.300
that right arm is gonna stay where that trail arm

72
00:03:39.300 --> 00:03:42.600
is gonna stay almost as straight as I can. So I'm

73
00:03:42.600 --> 00:03:44.100
gonna feel like the arm stay straight.

74
00:03:46.300 --> 00:03:50.400
And then we'll shank one off into the trees. All right. Well see

75
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:52.100
we can do a little better one here. So

76
00:03:53.300 --> 00:03:56.800
arms are going to stay straight. I'm gonna feel that right hip going

77
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:56.900
up.

78
00:03:58.700 --> 00:03:59.800
That was a little bit better.

79
00:04:00.900 --> 00:04:03.000
So this is a good one that you

80
00:04:03.100 --> 00:04:06.500
can combo with a pelvic punch feel and today right

81
00:04:06.500 --> 00:04:08.300
now. This gives me a feeling of being.

82
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.700
A little bit more centered on top of it. So now

83
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:16.200
Once I have that feel of the direction, I want the

84
00:04:16.200 --> 00:04:19.700
hips to go. Now. I can start to add the the full backswing and

85
00:04:19.700 --> 00:04:22.400
the arm bending. So real quick

86
00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:25.500
reset. There we go. There's that right hip feeling like

87
00:04:25.500 --> 00:04:28.200
it's going a little bit higher that's going to keep me.

88
00:04:29.700 --> 00:04:30.500
more on top

89
00:04:31.400 --> 00:04:34.500
and I can blend that into any of my transition or downswing Fields.

90
00:04:34.500 --> 00:04:38.000
So good way for helping you work on your pivot

91
00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:41.300
of the lower body and the hips just take

92
00:04:41.300 --> 00:04:44.300
the club place it across your hips work on either the right hip up or

93
00:04:44.300 --> 00:04:47.700
the left hip down, but getting some amount of hip tilt to

94
00:04:47.700 --> 00:04:50.100
help you load the lower body in the backswing.
