five physical skills that we think all golfers need if you want your body to not get in the way of your golf swing number one you have to have something called core control the ability to take power from your lower body and transfer that power to your trunk is paramount in all rotary sports the second skill you need is something called lower body disassociation you need to be able to rotate your lower body independent of your upper body this helps not only for sequencing but it also helps for power very important in the golf swing now it sounds like the same but it’s different the third thing you need is upper body disassociation this time is you need to have a stable lower body and be able to rotate your upper body independent of your lower body this is more important in the back swing but it’s also important for maintaining posture sequencing and power as well the fourth physical skill that all golfers need is they need to be able to maintain posture while they’re bringing their arms up and down it’s amazing on how many golfers can put their arms across their shoulders rotate and they look great in posture as soon as they raise their arms everything goes haywire and then the last physical skill is the ability to set and release the golf club so there’s five basic physical skills all golfers need they need core control lower body disassociation upper body disassociation maintaining posture raising their arms up and down and setting and releasing the golf club if you can do those five things well then if you’re doing something really weird in your swing it’s probably not because of your body it’s probably because of technique okay we call those the five gangs and what we’re going to do is we’re going to teach you screens to identify all five of

I know it’d be different from what myTPI usually puts out in long form, but videos or portions of videos about how tendencies of professional golfers directly translate to better output in their golf swings would be incredibly educational. During a talking headshot when Dr.Rose is speaking about what makes a player better than everybody else, a video overlay of that thing happening at the same time as he speaks would likely clear up some confusion too. These are the best sources of golf learning on the internet.
This is great info!
It would be good to see exercises that enable improvement for each skill set if it’s possible…
