This concept video is revisiting internal versus external

1
00:00:08.655 --> 00:00:09.655
rotation of the trail hip.

2
00:00:09.955 --> 00:00:12.735
Um, so the look of kind

3
00:00:12.735 --> 00:00:15.695
of the Sam Snead squat versus the knee kind of caving in,

4
00:00:15.955 --> 00:00:18.815
um, has been a hot topic in golf instruction

5
00:00:18.915 --> 00:00:20.255
for for many years.

6
00:00:20.395 --> 00:00:23.375
Um, I did a video on it, uh, talking about its relationship

7
00:00:23.395 --> 00:00:25.655
to weight distribution, which I do think is relevant,

8
00:00:25.655 --> 00:00:27.695
but I think I have a better description of it now.

9
00:00:27.955 --> 00:00:32.495
Um, so from talking with, uh, some, some of the people i,

10
00:00:33.175 --> 00:00:35.935
I bounce my ideas off of on the body, the medical side.

11
00:00:36.355 --> 00:00:40.895
Um, what the way I would phrase it now is, uh, the one

12
00:00:40.895 --> 00:00:44.175
that looks external rotation is more of a disassociation

13
00:00:44.175 --> 00:00:45.415
of the hip and the one

14
00:00:45.415 --> 00:00:47.695
that looks like internal rotation is more

15
00:00:47.695 --> 00:00:49.415
of a connection of the hip.

16
00:00:49.795 --> 00:00:54.375
And what's likely happening is the disassociation.

17
00:00:54.515 --> 00:00:58.935
So the more of the kind of the squat look is

18
00:00:59.665 --> 00:01:01.775
using the glute, creating a stretch

19
00:01:01.795 --> 00:01:03.375
so we can get a little bit more of a,

20
00:01:03.575 --> 00:01:06.015
a whip effect on down through the release.

21
00:01:06.595 --> 00:01:10.375
And the look of going into internal rotation is likely

22
00:01:10.905 --> 00:01:12.295
using my abs,

23
00:01:12.435 --> 00:01:16.215
but creating this whole region as a fixed point so

24
00:01:16.215 --> 00:01:17.535
that my abs can work

25
00:01:17.535 --> 00:01:20.735
through the leg into the foot to spin my body.

26
00:01:21.075 --> 00:01:22.615
Um, so the look

27
00:01:22.675 --> 00:01:26.055
of the internal rotation is typically gonna be more

28
00:01:26.055 --> 00:01:30.015
associated with an upper body kind of, uh, dominant pattern

29
00:01:30.115 --> 00:01:34.055
or a little bit more of a spin of the shoulder girdle, um,

30
00:01:34.815 --> 00:01:38.935
compared to the, the look of going into external rotation,

31
00:01:39.185 --> 00:01:40.895
which is going to be a little bit more

32
00:01:40.895 --> 00:01:42.735
of an independent hip movement.

33
00:01:43.035 --> 00:01:46.415
And while that's happening, um, your core is staying back

34
00:01:46.475 --> 00:01:49.295
and you're kind of spring loading the muscles in your trunk.

35
00:01:49.715 --> 00:01:54.095
Um, so one way to look at it is as you're going up to the,

36
00:01:54.315 --> 00:01:55.815
as we're going up to the top of the swing,

37
00:01:56.075 --> 00:01:59.095
if you look at basically where is the knee pointed compared

38
00:01:59.095 --> 00:02:02.255
to where the belt buckle is pointing, um, as we go up

39
00:02:02.255 --> 00:02:05.855
to the top, some golfers like Minu Lee,

40
00:02:05.875 --> 00:02:08.215
you'll see the knee kind of comes in

41
00:02:08.875 --> 00:02:10.575
and other golfers like Rory

42
00:02:10.575 --> 00:02:13.615
or the classic one with Sam Snead, um, you'll see

43
00:02:13.615 --> 00:02:15.735
that the knee stays kind of pointing out

44
00:02:15.755 --> 00:02:19.055
and the belt buckle rotates away from the knee.

45
00:02:19.195 --> 00:02:21.215
If the belt buckle rotates away from the knee,

46
00:02:21.215 --> 00:02:23.215
then I'm actually getting hip rotation.

47
00:02:23.595 --> 00:02:24.655
Um, if the belt buckle

48
00:02:24.755 --> 00:02:25.935
and the knee move together,

49
00:02:26.405 --> 00:02:29.295
then I'm not really getting a lot of hip rotation.

50
00:02:29.715 --> 00:02:33.895
I'm more moving the pelvis, um, with some other muscles,

51
00:02:34.045 --> 00:02:36.935
some other structures either down from the leg, um,

52
00:02:36.995 --> 00:02:38.815
or what I likely believe it's

53
00:02:38.815 --> 00:02:39.975
more from the abs and the core.

54
00:02:40.315 --> 00:02:44.895
Um, so my preference has shifted to, I don't really care to.

55
00:02:44.995 --> 00:02:48.415
Now my preference is a little bit more towards that, um,

56
00:02:48.795 --> 00:02:51.575
the look of the disassociation, um,

57
00:02:51.575 --> 00:02:54.615
because it tends to load the core better for more of the,

58
00:02:54.915 --> 00:02:56.055
the negative torsion

59
00:02:56.155 --> 00:02:58.975
or what I think is one of the big hallmarks of, um,

60
00:02:59.305 --> 00:03:01.685
the really good re body release pattern.

61
00:03:02.025 --> 00:03:04.085
Um, where if you tend to do too much

62
00:03:04.085 --> 00:03:07.165
with your abs this way it can encourage a

63
00:03:07.165 --> 00:03:08.245
little bit more of a stall.

64
00:03:08.545 --> 00:03:10.845
It can encourage this hip kind of dropping down

65
00:03:10.845 --> 00:03:12.045
and causing low point issues.

66
00:03:12.265 --> 00:03:14.125
Um, it creates a little bit more timing

67
00:03:14.185 --> 00:03:16.965
and a little bit more inconsistency, um, than

68
00:03:16.965 --> 00:03:18.165
that external rotation.

69
00:03:18.425 --> 00:03:21.245
Uh, so I have other videos as far as the, you know,

70
00:03:21.265 --> 00:03:24.125
the hip action and how to get the combination

71
00:03:24.145 --> 00:03:27.685
of extending the leg, rotating the hip, extending the hip,

72
00:03:28.465 --> 00:03:30.645
um, and going into slight abduction.

73
00:03:30.905 --> 00:03:32.565
So, or, uh, abduction, sorry.

74
00:03:32.825 --> 00:03:36.245
Um, so getting kind of that movement going from the hip.

75
00:03:36.665 --> 00:03:39.045
Uh, if you do that, then

76
00:03:40.295 --> 00:03:43.085
while the shoulders stay a little bit more closed,

77
00:03:43.345 --> 00:03:45.725
that's gonna get you into this really good loaded

78
00:03:46.125 --> 00:03:47.405
delivery position for the spine.

79
00:03:47.705 --> 00:03:51.445
Um, and now you're pretty much set up in a position where

80
00:03:52.105 --> 00:03:55.725
if you go into that, um, negative torsion,

81
00:03:55.965 --> 00:03:58.205
straightening the leg, um, all that, uh,

82
00:03:58.275 --> 00:04:00.445
good release movement, we're in a position

83
00:04:00.445 --> 00:04:03.805
where our low point control is gonna be really, um,

84
00:04:04.115 --> 00:04:05.725
precise and kind of gradual.

85
00:04:05.865 --> 00:04:07.965
We can be off by a bunch and still hit it pretty solid.

86
00:04:08.225 --> 00:04:10.805
Um, and it doubles in giving us pretty good face control.

87
00:04:10.985 --> 00:04:12.485
So I think it's one of the hallmarks

88
00:04:12.485 --> 00:04:14.885
of the more consistent ball strikers.

89
00:04:15.145 --> 00:04:16.845
Uh, so if you haven't messed around with it,

90
00:04:16.925 --> 00:04:20.205
I think it's a good piece to work on in transition, trying

91
00:04:20.205 --> 00:04:23.125
to get more of this disassociation of the hip, um,

92
00:04:23.185 --> 00:04:26.605
rather than more of a connected hip, what we used to refer

93
00:04:26.605 --> 00:04:28.325
to as more of a external rotation

94
00:04:28.325 --> 00:04:29.645
of the hip versus internal.

95
00:04:29.945 --> 00:04:31.605
So again, quick, quick demo.

96
00:04:31.785 --> 00:04:35.005
If I was to do kind of this movement right there,

97
00:04:35.035 --> 00:04:37.525
that would be more of the disassociation,

98
00:04:37.935 --> 00:04:39.925
which would have a look a little bit more

99
00:04:42.035 --> 00:04:43.045
kind of like that.

100
00:04:43.465 --> 00:04:46.565
Um, where if I was to basically bend this knee

101
00:04:46.565 --> 00:04:51.285
and really kind of rotate the shoulder, um, the shoulder

102
00:04:51.345 --> 00:04:54.605
and abs, it would have more of a look kind of like this.

103
00:04:55.065 --> 00:04:57.525
Um, this is going to encourage

104
00:04:59.845 --> 00:05:03.925
a little bit more of kind of a, a stall down at impact.

105
00:05:04.185 --> 00:05:06.885
Um, so if you see that as one of your patterns

106
00:05:06.885 --> 00:05:08.365
and you're fighting this stall

107
00:05:08.425 --> 00:05:11.245
and kind of flip down to the bottom, look at transition,

108
00:05:11.245 --> 00:05:13.645
especially that trail hip, it may be relevant

109
00:05:13.825 --> 00:05:15.845
for getting rid of that, uh, kind

110
00:05:15.845 --> 00:05:17.405
of quick upper body dominant pattern.
