00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
This drill is extend turn tilt.

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
So extend turn tilt is a drill that I will use to help people refine their pivot, especially

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:20,000
if they have an issue with either not having enough extension or not having enough tilt.

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,000
If you don't have enough extension then in the backswing it will tend to look like your upper

00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
body shifts off the ball and in the follow-through it will tend to look like your chest

00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
stays pointing more down.

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,000
If you don't have enough tilt then it will tend to look like your early standing or you're

00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,000
losing more of your shoulder plane at the top of the swing or you're standing up in the

00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,000
follow-through.

00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,000
So extend turn tilt is a really easy way to get a reference either of where we want to

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,000
be at follow-through position or where we want to be at the top of the swing.

00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:02,000
So with the follow-through position we're going to kind of get this bracing feel and we're

00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,000
going to walk through it in the order of extend turn tilt.

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
So let's say I'm going to get set up at a ball that way I'm going to have the reference

00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,000
of where I am in space.

00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000
So good ball position.

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Now I'm going to follow through position.

00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
I'm going to lean backward from my hips and from my upper back.

00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
But I'm going to make sure that my core stays braced.

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
So I don't want to be leaning backward in my lower back kind of like this.

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,000
I want to lean from my hips or tuck my hips and I want to lean from my upper back

00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,000
or chest.

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
So I'm leaning back about 30 degrees.

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Now I'm going to turn and face the target and then I'm going to turn or tilt down

00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,000
towards the ball.

00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Now the last thing I like to do is then set the arms where they would be so squaring up

00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
the club face or getting a little bit more rotation.

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
So let's do that again.

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
So I'm going to set up.

00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
I'm going to extend.

00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000
I'm going to turn and then I'm going to tilt.

00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:04,000
And this is roughly where I want to get to into my bracing position or into my follow

00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,000
through.

00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Kind of there.

00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,000
I caught that a little thing because I didn't quite have enough tilt.

00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
So what I do is after I have golfers get this reference.

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Now the goal is to get back there in one movement and that one movement is going to have

00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
more of this kind of blend of rotating while staying on a spine angle.

00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Usually it doesn't feel quite as dramatic as when we do that step by step extend

00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
turn tilt.

00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,000
But it's going to turn into more of a feeling of either being more side bent if that's

00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:45,000
the one you're struggling with or for a lot of golfers being more extended in the hips

00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
or upper body staying more centered.

00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:53,000
A lot of golfers who struggle with this get the upper body a little bit more forward

00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
like this.

00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Classically, if you get your if you lack that extension through the ball you will get overly

00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,000
active with the arms because if you're chest stays pointing down towards the ground

00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000
as the arms try to swing up.

00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,000
The only way your arms are going to get above your chest height is by bending the arms

00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
or the shoulders.

00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000
And so it's this extension move that helps keep the arms straight and keeps everything

00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
flowing on the way through.

00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,000
That extension again is happening from the hips as well as the upper back but hopefully

00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000
not doing a ton of extension in the lower back.

00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,000
You want your core to stay active or engaged.

00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Once I have that feeling then I'll tend to work it into more of a kind of 9 to 3 or

00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:49,000
10 to 2 where I feel that that extension move is what brings the club through.

00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:57,000
So similar to it for some golfers who struggle with the L to I drill it's this upper body

00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:05,000
extension that they're lacking because if I do one where I do one I'll do two I'll

00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:12,000
do one where I lack the extension and you'll see that the arms tend to scoop a little

00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:20,000
bit more on the way through and now I'll do one where I lack the side bend and you'll

00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:27,000
tend to see I have to like throw those arms a little bit earlier to get down to the ball.

00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,000
So if you have a lot of arm action down to the ball it could be that you don't have a really

00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:38,000
good solid bracing position and if you're losing that it's because of one of those two positions.

00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
I also use this extension tilt for the back swing.

00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Now the key here is with the follow-through I'm leaning back about 30 degrees with the back

00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,000
swing I'm just going to stand so that I'm vertical but then the operation is going to be

00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,000
the same.

00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,000
I'm going to turn and I'm going to tilt and for a lot of golfers you tend to kind of

00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,000
more of that staying flex forward and turning back and picking up the arms that they're

00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,000
going to feel more wow my chest is more up my back is facing the target I've really turned

00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:16,000
my hips you're going to feel more of this full body turn in the back swing.

00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:23,000
So if you're struggling with your pivot a really quick recalibration can be this extend turn

00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,000
whichever direction we're working and then tilt so that the shoulder closest to the ball

00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
is pointing down at it.

00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,000
That will give you two references to help you work on your pivot and the upper body staying

00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000
center while turning through on the right angle.

00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:45,000
So try that if you're having a lot of excessive upper body movement which is affecting your

00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000
low point control or the smoothest of your release.

00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000
So we'll do combo.

00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:02,000
So back swing follow through so now I'm going to try and connect those two which will

00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:11,000
help me feel a little bit more centered all the way around.

00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Kind of like that.
