This video discusses the importance of maintaining a braced core and stable hips during the golf swing for achieving a better finish. Discover why keeping your core and hips steady, rather than forcing the club to the finish position, leads to a smoother follow-through and more controlled final pose. Enhance your golf game by learning how stability can improve your swing's effectiveness and consistency.

This content video is connecting the bracing
1
00:00:07.385 --> 00:00:08.405
to the finished position.
2
00:00:08.985 --> 00:00:12.405
Now, early on when I was working on some of my terminology,
3
00:00:12.825 --> 00:00:15.525
um, a lot of students found it odd that I referred
4
00:00:15.525 --> 00:00:19.805
to this position here as the follow through position.
5
00:00:19.955 --> 00:00:22.085
They, a lot of people wanted to say,
6
00:00:22.145 --> 00:00:23.325
no, this is the follow through.
7
00:00:23.325 --> 00:00:24.845
And I said, well, that's kind of the finish.
8
00:00:25.225 --> 00:00:29.165
Um, so this video we're gonna talk through, um, some
9
00:00:29.165 --> 00:00:31.205
of the key reasons why I like that terminology
10
00:00:31.305 --> 00:00:33.925
and why the follow through feel, um, to be more
11
00:00:34.035 --> 00:00:35.405
that shaft parallel position
12
00:00:35.405 --> 00:00:38.285
or P eight in the in, in the P systems.
13
00:00:38.905 --> 00:00:43.415
Um, so I think one of the challenges for a lot of golfers,
14
00:00:43.755 --> 00:00:46.615
um, is getting the, uh,
15
00:00:47.075 --> 00:00:49.895
or preventing the shoulders from spinning too
16
00:00:49.895 --> 00:00:51.055
much during the release.
17
00:00:51.355 --> 00:00:54.375
Uh, when the shoulders spin during the release, that tends
18
00:00:54.375 --> 00:00:56.735
to create a steep at the bottom field.
19
00:00:56.915 --> 00:01:01.095
It can be associated with poles, um, diggy divots,
20
00:01:01.115 --> 00:01:03.535
it can be accompanied by like buckles.
21
00:01:03.875 --> 00:01:06.415
Um, it can be accompanied by more of a,
22
00:01:06.685 --> 00:01:08.855
like staying in your flexion
23
00:01:08.875 --> 00:01:10.895
or having a hard time getting into, um,
24
00:01:10.925 --> 00:01:12.295
good thoracic extension.
25
00:01:12.595 --> 00:01:14.055
Um, it can be more
26
00:01:14.075 --> 00:01:15.975
of some arm breakdowns on the way through.
27
00:01:16.115 --> 00:01:19.535
It can create a lot of kind of these looks here.
28
00:01:20.005 --> 00:01:24.975
Well, in, in one perspective, uh, when I get the,
29
00:01:25.395 --> 00:01:29.495
the golf swing, um, kind of being powered more from my body
30
00:01:29.795 --> 00:01:32.655
and getting more into this negative torsion
31
00:01:32.755 --> 00:01:35.735
or getting into this, this blend of extension
32
00:01:35.735 --> 00:01:39.215
with the rotation, then what happens is I get to this follow
33
00:01:39.215 --> 00:01:42.335
through and then I've gotten into this follow
34
00:01:42.335 --> 00:01:44.015
through quite aggressively.
35
00:01:44.235 --> 00:01:46.335
So the club has some energy
36
00:01:46.355 --> 00:01:47.895
and some momentum that tends
37
00:01:47.895 --> 00:01:51.695
to pull me into my finish position rather than
38
00:01:53.015 --> 00:01:57.075
a lot of golfers have more of an active, active movement
39
00:01:57.075 --> 00:01:59.915
and an active hit, kind of like they're aggressively moving
40
00:02:00.065 --> 00:02:01.875
through the ball with that right shoulder
41
00:02:02.295 --> 00:02:05.395
and forcing the club to get into the finished position.
42
00:02:05.735 --> 00:02:09.715
So one of my goals is to get more of the, um,
43
00:02:09.815 --> 00:02:11.555
the energy feeling like it's kind
44
00:02:11.555 --> 00:02:14.635
of getting into this really good bracing position here.
45
00:02:15.175 --> 00:02:18.475
And because the, the club head is getting pulled away,
46
00:02:18.895 --> 00:02:21.155
that's gonna take me smoothly into my finish.
47
00:02:21.595 --> 00:02:23.715
I don't like to feel like I'm forcing the finish,
48
00:02:24.015 --> 00:02:25.155
uh, with my shoulders.
49
00:02:25.305 --> 00:02:27.475
That tends to get, um, like I said,
50
00:02:27.475 --> 00:02:30.915
gets your shoulders spinning a little bit too level, um,
51
00:02:31.215 --> 00:02:32.515
causes some arm breakdown.
52
00:02:32.775 --> 00:02:34.915
Um, and overall creates a little bit more
53
00:02:34.925 --> 00:02:36.115
chaos down at the bottom.
54
00:02:36.615 --> 00:02:39.835
Um, so I would say that this is one of the
55
00:02:40.515 --> 00:02:41.675
contributing factors to being able
56
00:02:41.675 --> 00:02:45.075
to execute the hit hard stop short drill, um,
57
00:02:45.445 --> 00:02:50.355
where essentially I'm getting into more of a
58
00:02:50.945 --> 00:02:52.355
shorter follow through
59
00:02:52.355 --> 00:02:55.235
because my body is going into this good bracing position
60
00:02:55.655 --> 00:02:58.955
and all these kind of angles are getting, um,
61
00:02:59.105 --> 00:03:02.045
or reaching their maximum there at follow through.
62
00:03:02.865 --> 00:03:06.405
Now, if all I did was instead of kind of holding my hip
63
00:03:06.425 --> 00:03:10.245
and my core back, if I let it get pulled from the club,
64
00:03:10.595 --> 00:03:12.365
then the only difference between that
65
00:03:14.475 --> 00:03:17.375
and that swing there was kind
66
00:03:17.375 --> 00:03:19.615
of letting my body get pulled from the club,
67
00:03:19.875 --> 00:03:21.455
not really forcing it on the way through.
68
00:03:21.955 --> 00:03:24.655
So if you have a look of kind of
69
00:03:24.655 --> 00:03:27.535
that upper body really spinning through, um,
70
00:03:28.025 --> 00:03:30.975
focus on your bracing position, that can be a combination
71
00:03:31.035 --> 00:03:35.095
of either the body position, um, or the arm action.
72
00:03:35.435 --> 00:03:39.295
Uh, but the body position arm actually getting you into this
73
00:03:39.295 --> 00:03:41.735
bracing position is gonna feel like the end
74
00:03:41.735 --> 00:03:42.855
of the swing is more there.
75
00:03:43.075 --> 00:03:47.015
And then the finish is just a coasting or a landing.
76
00:03:47.035 --> 00:03:48.855
The plane, kind of a soft movement
77
00:03:48.855 --> 00:03:51.535
where the club is pulling me into position, not a,
78
00:03:51.855 --> 00:03:54.335
a active movement where I'm getting there dynamically.
79
00:03:54.515 --> 00:03:57.335
So in quick demo, we'll do a little bit more
80
00:03:57.335 --> 00:04:00.515
of just a follow through hold kind
81
00:04:00.515 --> 00:04:03.645
of more there, little pull.
82
00:04:03.975 --> 00:04:05.325
Let's see if we can do that a little better.
83
00:04:07.955 --> 00:04:09.085
That was better right there.
84
00:04:09.745 --> 00:04:13.885
And now, if I just let my arms get to that position
85
00:04:14.425 --> 00:04:19.245
and kind of let my body go with it, now I start
86
00:04:19.245 --> 00:04:22.965
to get the club taking me into the finish rather than my
87
00:04:22.965 --> 00:04:23.165
body.
