Hello Bonita Bay Club Justin Smith one of your PJ teaching professionals here today I want to talk a little bit about some setup positions but before I get into that I just want to talk about some of the things that I’ve you know heard in the last you know two three weeks um
Based off of one’s golf swing oh in passing or maybe in in an individual session um I get the you know is this correct or am I in the correct position or you know how should this look you know let’s let’s make the golf swing
Sort of yours in a sense um I’ve said that before but I’ll say it again uh we need to basically find what works best for you whether that may be working with some of our trainers up top and with an instructor a lot of us work hand inand
With them I know I work with three of them up there already um and it does help uh getting into these positions but again you know we want to get in these positions because maybe they look pretty maybe your friend told you that uh maybe you watched a video I’m not saying
They’re wrong all I’m saying is let us take a look at you and see what maybe you’re capable of doing um and go from there so let’s talk about setup today uh what I see a lot of times now um is whatever you know position one wants to
Get in throughout their golf swing um a lot of times their setup position doesn’t allow it or it maybe causes something in the complete opposite so let me give you a few examples here if I if I stood here um and you can kind of see my trail arm my right arm for
Right-handed golfer be a little more like on top of my lead arm so you can kind of see a little space between here now if you’re set up there you’re automatically probably taking the club outside and you’re probably cutting across it so one that wants to let’s
Just say take it on a better plane back whether that be straight back or more inside um we have to be a able to get to the point where you know our Trail arm is set up in that good position now all these things that set up with our our
Trail arm um can affect what our spine tilt does and also what our shoulders do at impact and throughout the swing so that’s just one example of if arms basically right arms higher than the left this would be lower than um this is more of sort of like a shallower in a
Sense we can get into that on a one1 date but know your set up positions another one would be setting up with our back so let’s just say our lower back spine back in here lumbar I know all too well about that sort of going through it right now
Myself um we need to have something neutral down there so anterior tilt posterior tilt whether that be S posture or C posture um what’s going to get golfers we all think about early extension you know really getting our belly button work towards the golf ball and the downswing that’s that’s an
Absolute no no that causes some weird stuff going on the downswing but in my mind the number one cause of that now there are other causes would be at a dress you can see how I have a little bit of s posture so my touch is stuck
Out I can basically stick my fingers underneath here down here to get some space now that is a no no we want to make sure we have a neutral spine so if I put my hand there I can’t stick any fingers underneath here so if we start
An S posture a lot of times in the down sping we’ll move into that neutral or C posture and now we become not as good we’ll call it that so we’re not going to be as efficient from there so those are two things set up with the arms forearms elbows and
Shoulders at a dress obviously our tilts here going from there to produce um early extension now that’s there are other ways that that can cause early extension throughout the swing but just a simple dress position that’s that’s the one that’s going to um really affect
It so sort of the moral my story today is we’re trying to get in positions and produce results with the wrong setup okay I’m not saying you 100% have the wrong setup but let’s take a look and see what how you’re setting up and how that is affecting what your motion is
Doing so I hope you guys and Gs are having an awesome time here at Bonita Bay to kick off the new year and if you have any questions feel free to reach out to me and I’d be happy to help you have an awesome Day oh
