– Now, if you're feeling
jerky in your golf swing, here's what's happening. With your arms, I wanna be nice and wide. You can imagine if I had
a line going from my hands to the center of my chest, almost imagine it's in
the middle of my chest, kinda where my spine is. I wanna keep that line as long
as I can in the golf swing. So if I have a great golf swing, I'm gonna keep it long in the back swing, really get this great turn. And then the down swing. When I get a bunch of lag and
I have this angle on my wrist, I'm still gonna have a lot of distance between the center of my body and my hands or the middle of my hands here. That's what's gonna allow
you to be really smooth. Think about Ernie Els. Think about VJ Singh. Think about some of the
easiest swinging players even like a Steve Stricker. Look how much great width he keeps. That's gonna help you to
keep a lot smoother swing and get a lot of distance.
Now, what I see most players doing is they wanna get the
swing going back quick. They want some more swing speed. What ends up happening
is this left arm bends and this right arm really folds up quick. You'll also notice when I do that, that gets the club kinda
going back to the inside. It kinda drags the club back in which I bet you're doing that too. And when you put those
two things together, now you get both arms bent. You get a quick back swing. And worst of all, what you're gonna do is
you're gonna get the urge, the cast, and throw from
the top of the swing, lose all that lag that
you've worked to have. Now, what I wanna do is I want you to make a couple of quick keys here that I think is gonna help a lot. When you set up, I feel
like your elbow gets in, it's tucked in and then feel
like that stays nice and wide hide away from your body.
So it's a lot of this right arm. I gotta get rid of this idea of like almost pulling
like a lawnmower cord. I don't wanna have that happen. I wanna feel like my
elbow stays tucked in. And as I turn back, almost
like I had something in my hand and I'm trying to circle
it around my body, make it as long as I can there. The left arm will just follow that. For a right-handed player, I find that the right hand's the one that's wanting to take over, it's not the left arm there. So get that elbow kinda tucked in, get the arm extended out from your body. From there, take your grip
and try to keep that hand nice and wide all the
way in the back swing. And then from there, keep
it wide in the downswing. So even though your hands are going wide, you can go ahead and
let this club narrow up.
You want your wrist to be nice and loose. You can almost imagine this like spokes on an inclined Ferris wheel. So the middle of our body is the center or the hub of the Ferris wheel. And then you have all these spokes on kind of a tilted Ferris
wheel plane like this. I wanna keep my hands on the outside of that
Ferris wheel going back. And then as I start my down swing, I want the club shaft to lag and kinda ride down the
side of that Ferris wheel as I keep my hands wide. If I tend to pick it up,
I'm breaking those spokes. I'm kinda crunching the Ferris wheel in and then I'm gonna cast
going out like that. So watching this one, I'll
swing nice and slow here, nice and smooth.
And you'll see how I still
get quite a bit of speed when I keep that width. Let's go ahead and give it a whirl. There we go. I didn't feel like I swung hard at all. I kept my width. I went ahead and kept my wrists off so I could have some lag. And then I went ahead
and released that club, it really gets the club to kinda whip when you're coming through contact. Now, there's a second piece to this. The second piece is, I gotta make sure that I rotate my body.
If I don't rotate my body, nothing that I just said
there is gonna work at all. So if you feel like your chest stays facing at this golf ball here, then I have to move the club back by picking up my hands and arms and kinda collapsing everything down. I see that the vast
majority of swings I see, this is exactly what's happening. We're not turning our chest. And then we're picking it
up with our hands and arms, and we don't get very
good of a shoulder turn. Well, a lot of players I've
found think that they're not quite flexible enough to
get that good shoulder turn.
When in reality, they're
plenty flexible enough and I'll guarantee you're
flexible enough too, but you have to learn to
use the knees, the hips, and the body the right way
to allow that to happen. There's a couple little
secret tips that I have that are gonna allow you to free it up, get that bigger turn, and you
can make this nice wide swing, this smooth, effortless swing,
like you've always wanted to and actually feel looser
rather than tighter.
I'm gonna play a preview of that video, and I'm gonna specifically talk about how to use your belt buckle and use your hips in the
proper way to make that happen. If you wanna see that video, all you need to do is go
ahead and click on the card that's gonna pop up on your screen. It will pop up somewhere here, it'll be a little round
circle with an I on it. Click that card, and you're gonna get instant
access to that video. You can get that wide swing
and then you can use your body in the right way to make that happen. If you don't see that card, don't worry, just go down to the link
below in the description, click the link there, and
you'll get instant access also. So best of luck. And I can't wait to share
with you some of the secrets on finally freeing up the body so you can have this long, smooth swing that you've always wanted to have. Most of the instruction 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 mid section and really get loaded up. I'm not a big fan of that, that's really gonna kill your distance. In 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.
