– Now I want your cheeks on the ground, and then we're gonna twist like we're turning them in the turf. And I know that sounds crazy, but let me get into the details of how we're finally gonna
stop from standing up, losing that posture in the downswing that causes us to flip and cast, causes all kinds of bad
things to happen there. Well, there's three specific
motions that make this happen. And one of them involves your
butt cheeks and the turf, I'll get to that in a minute. The first one is where does
our weight go in our feet? So if I'm standing up,
what ends up happening is I'll let my weight shift
forward to my toes early. That moves my hips forward and it gets my upper body standing back. So to do the opposite of that, we wanna feel like our
weight is in our heels. So what I want you to do is
make a few practice swings here. Where as you start your down swing, you actually let your
toes come off the ground.
You're almost gonna feel
like you're falling over if you do a little bit too much of this. So that's the first move. I actually wanna see those
toes go up as that's happening and then make some swings where I come all the way on through. It's gonna feel weird, it's
not supposed to feel good. I want the toes up. And then coming back, I'm
almost gonna fall over that way.
It's actually important
to over-exaggerate that because it's so ingrained to do this and come toward the toes. That's gonna take over if we
don't exaggerate a tongue. That's piece number one, weight in the heels, make some
practice swings doing that. Piece number two, I want you
to feel like your butt cheeks, both of them at the start of
the downswing are on the turf. And I want you to feel, obviously that's really not gonna happen, I'm not gonna sit down on the
ground when I'm doing this, but I wanna feel like I'm
exaggerating it so much that I'd be putting my
cheeks right on the ground as I'm making my down swing.
I have yet to see a single player, I've yet to see a single person ever over-exaggerate this enough. Maybe you'll be the first,
but I have not seen anyone over-exaggerate this too much yet. So my weight is back on my heels. My cheeks are on the ground. And then finally, here's
the last piece of that. What I'll see players do, even if they start to get
the weight going back, they start to squat a little
bit better, which is good.
We'll do one of two things. They'll keep the hips very still, and then all of a sudden their upper body will just kinda throw at it because if my hips don't open, I really can't swing
through this shot very well. And I end up throwing my
hands and arms out anyway, or number two, what I
just talked about there, back out of it with their upper body and throw their hands at it.
Both of those come from either
keeping the hips too square or keeping the hips too square and backing up and
throwing your arms at it. Both of those come from not turning or not twisting your body open. So once we get those cheeks feeling like they're on the ground, I have to twist my body
open to the target. So number one, weight's on the heels, number two, I'm sitting into the ground. And from there, I have to make sure that
I turn through the shot all the way to a good full finish. Now you'll notice when
I finish this swing, I'll come to a nice high
finish as I'm doing this. There we go. So even though I sat down, even though I had this
downward motion here and I kept down all the
way through contact. As I came to the full
finish, everything came up, my chest is nice and high,
my head's nice and high, and I'm coming all the way around here.
I don't wanna stay down
in my posture like that. Now, it's very important
that we do one other piece correct when we're doing this too. If you wanna do this
and get the most power, we have to make sure that
we make a good back swing. So now that your down swing is better, now that you're feeling like
you're staying in your posture, you're not standing up out of it, you're not doing this motion. How do we get some speed with that? I find that a lot of players
can do that fairly slow motion once I work them through that progression, but they have trouble adding
speed to it as a next step. That comes from the back swing. And when you pair the
correct back swing up with the correct kinda sit and twist move, that's when you're gonna be
playing some fantastic golf.
There's a couple of tricks to this. Most players never have been taught how to use the legs and the hips properly to allow that good, full back swing. So it misleads you to thinking
that you're a lot stiffer, a lot tighter and a lot
more limited than you are. On top of that, I'm gonna
give you some secrets here that are gonna allow you
to use the upper body to increase that turn even more. I'll play a preview
video here in a second. It's gonna show you how to get that turn from the lower body to the upper body. I'm gonna give you some fantastic tips to unlock your body. Feel more free than you
ever have been before, and add a lot of swing speed to that. You put that with what
we learned here today, put those cheeks on the ground and twist, and you're gonna have a
very pro looking swing. Best of luck, and I can't wait
to see you in the bonus video that I'm about to play a
preview of here in a second.
All you need to do, if you
wanna see the full video, just go ahead and click the
card that pops up on your screen or the link down below in the description. Don't worry if you don't see those cards, go down to the description
below and click the link there. I'll see you in that video. Structuring out there today
is killing you of your power. The things that they're telling you to do can make you hit it shorter
and worse than that, not even any more consistent. I'm gonna go over some of the real secrets to powerful, consistent
golf in this video. Let's go and get started. So here's some of the keys
to making that happen. If you wanna incorporate
this in your swing, let me break it down
exactly what you should do.
Number one, let's focus
on the belt buckle. This is another big misconception. I wanna keep that belt
buckle facing the ball so I can really stretch out my midsection and really get loaded up. I'm not a big fan of that, that's really gonna kill your distance. And your back swing, I wanna feel like that belt buckle rotates to the right and you really let your
hips and legs be loose. Notice how my legs are moving here. I'm not trying to keep
those rigid and tight or I'm really just taking all
of the speed out of my swing. All right, so on that one, I really felt like I let
my belt buckle rotate back and a good key to this is feel
like your knees are loose.
Feel like when you make your back swing. Piece number two, let's go
ahead and rotate our shoulders. When I let my lower body rotate, my upper body can rotate
a lot better also. So if I let my hips move,
my shoulders will move more. So here once I've got
my hips working well, I'm gonna add to that my
shoulders making a big rotation. On average, on the PGA Tour, players are getting about 120
degrees of shoulder rotation. I don't see hardly anybody
getting less than 90 degrees. So it starts with the
hips, knees nice and loose, allow the belt buckle to
rotate, and then from there. So those are two really big
keys, but here's the truth.
There's one thing and if
you don't do this correctly, nothing else is gonna work..
