All right clappy let’s look at the over rotators out there yeah now certainly not as common as what we would see a very typical pattern of a player not rotating their lower body lot of arm lift and then the following errors that ensue from there let’s talk about the
Players that might have a lot of flexibility or a lack of concept and they’re just trying to rip these hips open as much as they can yeah and we see that in the golf swing there was a certain sequence between the club the arm and the body and we see a lot of
Players would actually start aggressively turning their hips before they’ve even started to move the club head which needs to travel the furtherest distance in the golf swing and if we just rip the hips open well now I’m all out of sequence and I got to play catch up yeah right what are your
Thoughts on that and I see you’ve got a couple of discs there so yeah sequencing is obviously really really important in the golf swing and if the pelvis moves too early and you’re not loading efficiently into the trail side it encourages clubs to whip inside hands to whip inside everyone always talks about
That takeway and you get a lot of people that say takeway is not important but for me takeaway is really important in terms of starting a golf swing in the appropriate manner right uh some people can more than cope with a takeaway moving inside no problem such as you
Know Matt Fitzpatrick that does it more noticeably noway sure but I think there’s a lot of moves that we can get recreational golfers to do which will far and wide better their golf rather than people saying that their takeway doesn’t matter correct correct so with sequencing and loading and learning how
To load efficiently I’ve got these couple of discs here that we’re going to just going to get Cara to stand on this will test me they’re they’re kind of wobble boards that are just blown up now from here um the ability to just whip your hips open is going to sacrifice your
Pivot and how you move there right so if you can stay a lot more balanced on those and rotate through the golf swing staying on there good see how now your hips stay a lot more stable to start and then from from there you can wind up and
Rotate yeah good and what I feel is it’s almost like a chain reaction I have to start it with the club head the arms the torsos using that as the engine for the back swing and then the hips essentially begin rotating because I’ve maxed out my potential movement with the upper body
Which then begins to naturally pull my lower body along for the ride rather than going let’s slam this thing back and all sudden absolutely and and the Order of sequence if you can think of it of what the furthest is kind of the order that it should move so obviously
The club head travels the furthest so that should go first so when you’re setting up Club head goes Club head goes hands and arms and shoulders go then torso goes and then pelvis rotates last y if you just do a couple swings feeling that that will also help with feel this
What we’re trying to give you there on the golf ball correct and just make quickly mention to when the club head’s moving first it’s not that you are pulling the head back using the arms it’s actually encouraging it to feel with a little bit of wrist hinge here
Right so from the address position feeling that the wrist hinge is moving the head and then feeling that the Torso is then moving I feel like I really have to keep this lower body a lot more passive and quiet absolutely than I would if I know I was working with
Someone who was that big over Rotator yeah yeah yeah for sure and and this just kind of not only sequences it better but gets you understanding and learning how to load more efficiently and correctly should we say into that right side so so instead of just doing
This and whipping that right hip back and getting no loow down into the floor we’re feeling that right leg lengthening if you stand on these here you’re almost feeling like that right leg kind of lengthens up but I can feel a real big load down into the floor and I’m not
Kind of just whipping it open cuz as soon as I whip that right hip back I lose all the balance and connections through that uh board there on the floor yeah and little disclaimer certainly just don’t come down to the range bring a couple of discs and start hitting
Balls because you you can see that even with um a lifetime playing golf between us it’s still a challenging exercise at the best of times but that is what is required to uh breach into the boundaries of exaggeration to give you a completely different feel to what you
Used to if it feels normal when you’re exaggerating something the likelihood is that you’ve not really done anything different we’ll get back to that video in just a second but I just want to tell you quickly about my online training platform perform golf being a player myself going through the struggles of
Working on my game all the way up to playing on tour I understand that nagging feeling that you’re putting work in that’s not actually making a difference to your swing and your golf game so that’s why I’ve created an all-encompassing membership covering every aspect of the game to help you
FasTrack your progress and get you shooting lower scores it’s available on all the app stores and on the web the link is down below so sign up now experience the difference yourself let’s get back to the video right so you know these sort of things are really key in
Handy I don’t do them when you’re hitting shots they’re more that okay you can get you can stand on them you can get your hands across your chest and you can really feel like in gyms and things like that building aw load building awareness building awareness for what’s
Going on and how that load feels completely different and the connection down through the base of that foot you see a lot of people that do try and rotate without keeping that connection through that right foot and you’ll see a lot of people kind of do this correct
Okay whereas if we just get on these you’ll feel that you have to keep the connection down through that foot this foot stays completely kind of flat and torqued into the ground cuz then from there you’re able to use the ground a lot more efficiently and get back to the
Ball a lot better should we say yeah yeah yeah love that love that so is there any then uh progression drill that you have up your sleeve that players can use absolutely a if they don’t have those or B let’s say they’ve done a bit of gym work then they’re at the range
And they just can’t get the feel before they’re going to hit a golf ball what do you recommend they do tap your toes up and down when you do a back swing love it simple as that it just it recreates this kind of feel to help load and
Solidify should we say up the the torque and your sequence in through back swing exactly because as soon as you are cognizant of tapping your toes up and down it’s very hard to go okay let’s rip this hip back because you’re focusing on that movement staying athletic and
Dynamic that’s why you see a lot of Pros always in constant motion before that the trigger side note also keeps you rela athletic which is great so from here toes tapping up and down really feeling that the club head then the Torso and then the hips are coming into
Play and one last little point I’d like to touch on here is the awareness of what you said at the beginning of just knowing that the club head needs to travel further 100% we all intuitively know that but sometimes just focusing Club Head Hands chest hips rather than
Going rip open those hips CU I feel like I need to turn more yeah and that also reduces turn length of back swing when you do that you reduce speed when you reduce speed obviously you don’t hit it as far right Club head travels the furthest get that moving okay hands
Shoulders arms they travel next get them moving then the Torso then the pelvis and if you do it in that sequence the order then gets a lot easier and simplified when you try and hit shots okay great mate so I’m going to tap my toes a couple of times bust out this
Little dance move get the feeling that the upper body is rotating yeah good and by no means we’re not restricting any movements at this is for the player that definitely does over rotate the hips yeah it’s it’s also good for the one that needs to understand a little bit of sequencing as
Well yeah correct Perfect all right that feels really good see if I can get this sequencing down pat knock it to a foot that felt pretty damn smooth mate best one there mate Cheers
