In this Lisa Cornwell golf swing analysis video, I'll show you how Golf Channel anchor (and RotarySwing.com member) Lisa Cornwell is improving her weight shift and ball striking. You'll find out: 1) How timing the weight shift with your arms contributes to hip spinning. 2) A sure sign of getting stuck in the downswing.
- Control the speed of your hips with the right foot in the downswing
- Avoid getting stuck by tracing the plane line
- Stabilize the lower body to maximize power and consistency
Hey everyone, this is Rotary Swing instructor Christopher Tyler, And in this week's swing analysis, we're going to be breaking down the newest addition to the Golf Channel team, Miss Lisa Cornwell.
Okay everyone, as promised, this week's swing analysis is going to be on the lovely Miss Lisa Cornwell, the newest addition to the Golf Channel team.
Congratulations to Lisa for joining the team, I know she's going to be great there.
And Lisa joined RotarySwing.
com probably about three or four months ago, and I've recently had the pleasure of working with her in some private instruction.
And I want to go over some of the stuff that her and I did throughout her session, which ultimately led her to being able to control her starting line a little bit better, and enhanced her ball striking.
So those of you that have ever had a problem with being hip spinners or getting the club a little bit stuck, this is one of those reviews that you want to pay very close attention to.
All right, so Lisa came to me, And one of the first things that we noticed is that when she gets the club to the top, part of her golf swing, and she starts down, she's trying to time her weight shift with the arms.
Okay, so when you're trying to time your weight shift with the arms, what's going to happen is you're going to start to push with the right side of the body.
Okay, you're pushing with the right leg, you're pushing with all that right side, and what that's going to do is it's going to force the hips to race to an open position.
All right, so you can see here where she's got the club head, she's got the club head way out behind her.
And what I want you to do is pay very close attention to what her right foot does at impact.
Okay, so here she is at impact, and you can see how the right foot has come off the ground, and you can see that she's pushed these hips to a much more open position than she needs.
All right, so one of the things that her and I talked about is the role of the right foot in the downswing, which is actually a video on the website.
And how we're going to use the right foot as a break, as almost like a breaking mechanism, to kind of slow the hip line down.
All right, so if you haven't seen that video, please check out the role of the right foot in the downswing section.
That's a really good video for you to understand how the lower half, or how the right foot operates.
And then what we also wanted to do is we also wanted to talk about controlling the starting line.
Because as she gets the club into this stuck position back here, the hands and arms are going to get a lot late in her sequence, and you're going to see that her golf ball, as I go through another frame here, is going to start out to the right.
Okay, you can see there where we would really want this golf ball starting over in this neck of the woods.
All right, so what we did throughout the session is, is we talked about getting the weight seated over to the left side a little bit earlier, so she's not trying to time the weight shift with the arms.
And if we focus over here on the right hand side of the screen, this is from the second half of the session, or towards the end of the session, after we discussed about getting the weight into the left side a little bit earlier, and then working on the position of the right foot.
So what I want you guys to notice here is at the top part of the golf swing, and she starts to work down, she's getting her weight seated over the left side much earlier, and here's the same frame as where she was at the start of the session, and what I want you to notice is where the club head is.
She's got the club head more out in front of her now, the hands and arms are going to start to pass in front of the body.
And now watch this drastic change to the right foot.
So as she moves through here, okay, into impact, there's her impact position.
Notice the right foot is still all the way on the ground.
All right, it's rolled to the inside part of that foot.
And also, if we back up a frame here on the left hand side of the screen, you can notice that she's really crammed here, the right thigh into the hands, which is a really big indicator of being stuck.
Where this one, she's got a little bit more spacing between the hands and the right thigh.
So that was a big, big change in her golf swing and a very positive change.
And just to see the results of the starting line, after she hits this golf shot, you can see the golf ball starting down the target line.
Ball came off with a lot more penetrating ball flight.
So this was a very, very positive change to her golf swing.
So those of you that have ever felt like you're getting stuck in your downswing, pay very close attention to the role of the right foot, making sure that you're not pushing the hips to an open position.
And then I also want you to look at this drill called trace the plane line.
And that's why I have this alignment stick in the ground, because her and I were working on tracing the plane line before we hit some shots.
And that's what led her to being able to rotate the forearms a little bit more and get the club head more out in front of her body.
And which led to some huge results with her ball striking.
Okay.
So again, those of you that have ever struggled getting stuck, really make sure that you're getting seated into that left side.
Check out the role of the right foot in the downswing section.
Also check out trace the plane line and put those to use, get the club more out in front of you and let's hit some great golf shots.
I look forward to working more with you guys in the future.
Let's play some good golf.
