This concept video is hip turn, is spine turn.

1
00:00:08.595 --> 00:00:12.295
So this concept video was, uh, kind of inspired

2
00:00:12.435 --> 00:00:14.935
by a question that I got on one of the pages, uh,

3
00:00:14.935 --> 00:00:16.615
about a golfer who's early extending

4
00:00:16.615 --> 00:00:18.015
and doesn't have a lot of a rotation.

5
00:00:18.435 --> 00:00:22.935
Um, kinda looks more like this at impact, which a lot

6
00:00:22.935 --> 00:00:25.415
of us struggle with, where the body is not turned

7
00:00:25.415 --> 00:00:26.695
facing the the target.

8
00:00:26.715 --> 00:00:29.055
And they're asking, do I need a little bit more hip turn?

9
00:00:29.275 --> 00:00:33.215
Um, what I often see is that golfer, they had plenty

10
00:00:33.215 --> 00:00:35.455
of spine rotation in the back swing, um,

11
00:00:35.455 --> 00:00:37.855
but then the spine tended to rotate

12
00:00:37.955 --> 00:00:39.935
or the shoulders rotated kind of like this.

13
00:00:40.275 --> 00:00:43.895
Um, and the, the spine basically caught back up to neutral,

14
00:00:43.895 --> 00:00:45.215
where the, the pelvis

15
00:00:45.595 --> 00:00:48.415
and the shoulders are pointing in the same direction.

16
00:00:48.635 --> 00:00:50.815
If your put pelvis and your shoulders are pointing in the

17
00:00:50.815 --> 00:00:53.015
same direction, then if you got an appropriate amount

18
00:00:53.015 --> 00:00:55.495
of hip turn, your shoulders would be way too open.

19
00:00:56.195 --> 00:01:00.535
Um, so this is where the, the big aha for a lot of people is

20
00:01:00.535 --> 00:01:03.815
that in order to get a look of hip turn, you need

21
00:01:03.815 --> 00:01:05.695
to have a certain amount of spine turned.

22
00:01:06.035 --> 00:01:08.735
So if I was at my shoulders square and my hips

23
00:01:09.355 --> 00:01:12.815
or my pelvis rotated appropriately, facing closer

24
00:01:12.835 --> 00:01:15.655
to the target, kind of like this, if I brought my hips back

25
00:01:15.655 --> 00:01:18.175
to square, you could see that my shoulders are rotated more,

26
00:01:18.435 --> 00:01:19.495
um, out to the right.

27
00:01:19.795 --> 00:01:22.215
So that's what I mean by in order to get the hip turned,

28
00:01:22.215 --> 00:01:25.295
what you really have to focus on is the, uh, spine turned

29
00:01:25.515 --> 00:01:28.055
and ultimately the shoulders staying closed longer.

30
00:01:28.435 --> 00:01:31.135
Um, in order to keep the shoulders closed longer,

31
00:01:31.715 --> 00:01:35.215
I'm gonna have to power this downswing more by the rotation

32
00:01:35.355 --> 00:01:39.255
of my legs, my feet, um, as well as my lower core, kind

33
00:01:39.255 --> 00:01:40.495
of the bottom ha part

34
00:01:40.495 --> 00:01:42.495
of my rib cage all the way in the spine here.

35
00:01:42.755 --> 00:01:46.175
Um, as opposed to rotating it more with the shoulder girdle

36
00:01:46.175 --> 00:01:47.375
and just the lumbar spine.

37
00:01:48.155 --> 00:01:49.775
Um, if you get that recipe,

38
00:01:50.225 --> 00:01:53.015
it'll often feel like a little bit more lag

39
00:01:53.195 --> 00:01:56.695
or the back staying close to the target longer, um,

40
00:01:56.875 --> 00:01:59.415
or the hips and the core really getting open.

41
00:01:59.415 --> 00:02:01.255
So I've got a bunch of videos over on the right that kind

42
00:02:01.255 --> 00:02:04.535
of relate to this concept, but as a major takeaway,

43
00:02:04.755 --> 00:02:06.535
if you are struggling with getting into

44
00:02:07.055 --> 00:02:09.615
a tor impact position where you can kind of see the,

45
00:02:09.795 --> 00:02:11.535
the two cheeks and your hips are turned,

46
00:02:11.725 --> 00:02:14.175
it's really about what's going on at your spine more

47
00:02:14.175 --> 00:02:16.175
so than what's going on at your hips.

48
00:02:16.395 --> 00:02:18.815
So focus there with your drills, um,

49
00:02:18.845 --> 00:02:20.575
that'll help you overcome that look

50
00:02:20.595 --> 00:02:23.415
and get a little bit more twisted, uh, which, which helps

51
00:02:23.415 --> 00:02:26.295
with a lot of things such as low point power, um,

52
00:02:26.295 --> 00:02:28.175
dynamic loft, a lot of good things that help

53
00:02:28.175 --> 00:02:31.735
with consistency, um, as well as power for your all swing.

54
00:02:31.875 --> 00:02:33.015
All right, so let's run through.

55
00:02:33.435 --> 00:02:36.255
Um, I'm gonna do a little preset impact,

56
00:02:36.255 --> 00:02:38.815
maybe a little push ball where I'm getting into

57
00:02:38.815 --> 00:02:40.295
that impact position that I want

58
00:02:40.295 --> 00:02:42.295
where my shoulders are square and my hips are turned.

59
00:02:42.555 --> 00:02:45.415
And from there just kind of get a good release.

60
00:02:45.795 --> 00:02:48.615
Now I have a sense, um, in that position,

61
00:02:48.615 --> 00:02:51.495
it felt like I felt more of the hip turn,

62
00:02:51.555 --> 00:02:53.695
but it was really more of that left side clearing,

63
00:02:53.695 --> 00:02:55.095
which is a common thought, um,

64
00:02:55.095 --> 00:02:57.135
that golfers will, uh, discuss.

65
00:02:57.515 --> 00:03:00.485
So now we're gonna try to do a little bit more dynamic.

66
00:03:00.745 --> 00:03:05.005
So a little bit of a nine to three where there,

67
00:03:05.005 --> 00:03:07.645
it felt like I got that left side outta the way.

68
00:03:07.915 --> 00:03:10.445
Felt a nice kind of whip type action

69
00:03:10.575 --> 00:03:11.725
where I felt like I had a lot

70
00:03:11.725 --> 00:03:13.565
of speed at the bottom instead of at the top.

71
00:03:13.565 --> 00:03:15.365
That's a common trait when you're getting the

72
00:03:15.365 --> 00:03:16.685
sp the spine more involved.

73
00:03:16.745 --> 00:03:20.285
So I like that feel. Now let's apply it to the full swing.

74
00:03:20.995 --> 00:03:22.405
Here we go up to the top,

75
00:03:26.115 --> 00:03:28.285
tiny bit chunky, mostly because of the release,

76
00:03:28.385 --> 00:03:30.005
but the sequence felt pretty good.

77
00:03:30.265 --> 00:03:32.125
So if you're struggling with getting your hips more open,

78
00:03:32.315 --> 00:03:34.085
look above the hips, look more at the spine.

79
00:03:34.145 --> 00:03:37.445
That's the real secret to getting that tour impact. Look.
