This is one move that you MUST copy from the pros - it will help you boost your consistency immediately!
so in the second video the thing that the pros do that most amateurs don't we're going to talk about a huge one today that is going to have perhaps the biggest impact of anything else you do in your golf swing if you do what i'm going to show you today that the pros are going to do that they all do really consistently it will help you with consistency it'll help you with distance and it'll help you swing get more distance but effortlessly and that's really key that's what i'm really all about rotary swing is all about effortless power anybody can swing hard right i want to swing easy and hit the ball hard and that's my goal so we're gonna look at my swing we're gonna look at rory mcelroy's swing i look at dustin johnson's swing i'm gonna look at a typical amateur student to show what's going on so i've got rory on the right here and what we're going to focus on today is completing most of your rotation by the time your lead arm is parallel to the ground so obviously at this phase in the swing this is when the lead arm is parallel to the ground and you can see that rory's right shoulder has disappeared mostly behind his head he's made almost a full shoulder turn by the time his lead arm is parallel to the ground in amateurs we see this all the time it's the opposite i'll just pull one up here real quick and here's a golfer who's got a great swing tons of power but watch what happens note how the right shoulder never really moves it doesn't really rotate and it stalls out by the time the lead arm is parallel to the ground and it never really got turned and so there's very little rotation so now what is that going to force you to do in your swing well it's going to force you to swing with all arms and so when you do this this is devastating for consistency because your arms are the hardest part of the golf swing to control they move the most they move the fastest and they can move in the greatest range of motion think about how much just your wrists can do in rotation and cocking and flexing and so on and when you put all of those things into motion and you try to hit a golf ball consistently it's really darn hard when you look at somebody like rory he's his hands arms wrists almost look like they're frozen and he's just turning and i'm going to show you in the second part of this video exactly how to do this i've got several good videos they're going to teach you exactly how to do this but i want you just to burn this in your brain right now that by the time your lead arm is parallel to the ground that the vast majority of your rotation is done you can see rory's logo over here on the back side of his shirt is already starting to become visible now i know a lot of you're saying oh rory's just super fit and flexible and certainly that's true but that really doesn't have anything to do with making a full shoulder turn this has to do with how you're moving your arms which is what we're going to talk about in the bonus videos which are going to be in the description down below so when you look at this this is the key that i want you to focus on is by the time your lead arm's here 90 degrees of shoulder turn you're close to it we'll pull dustin johnson up here you'll see the very same thing that he will make and he's a little bit different type of golf swing he swings more lead side dominant rory's a little bit more trail side dominant you guys have heard me talking about you know the right side pushers or it's the left side pullers and and so this is a good example you can see dustin when he sets up to the club his right hand's you know so high up the club that his left thumb will be visible here underneath his right hand in just a moment but we'll talk about that later but notice here by the time that he is his left arm is parallel to the ground he's made a little bit less turn than rory but he's also swinging an iron versus a driver so that could be part of the key but long story short most golfers you can see that their right shoulder will be gone by the time that that lead arm is parallel to the ground again if we pull up back our our very common mistakes that we see in the amateurs there's very little shoulder rotation for those of you who are familiar with rotary swing we talk about that left arm push pushing the club across the body causing the right arm to bend and there's no rotation so this is a death move and then I've got a swing of mine up here from this morning and we have some launch monitor data so we'll pull that up this is a seven iron and so you'll see the same thing this is me working on my right side pusher drill pusher movement that I'm going to be sharing with you guys I have to perfect it my own swing first so that I can teach it can't do what you can't teach or can't teach what you can't do I should say but you'll see as my left arm is parallel to the ground even with my messed up spine and you notice that my neck is fused so my head turns and I've got scoliosis and nerve damage and all this crazy stuff and yet I'm still making most of my shoulder turn by the time that lead arm is parallel to the ground and from there I'm really just getting ready to go the other way so we'll see that this keeps my arms from having to do much of anything during the backswing I'm really just turning we're going to talk about that in the videos down in the description below really you're going to focus on the right shoulder blade glide a video the right arm keeping the right arm straight to turn and the left side push and what that causes in the backswing those are three primary videos I'm going to direct your attention to but the links will be down below so you can see here I made a full shoulder turn my arms don't like to do much this is the key to consistency it's also the key to power because if you remember as we look at our am when he goes to the top if we just look at his swing he hasn't really loaded up his body at all so none of the big muscles are working here this is all arms and hands and so then he's got to really try and make a big exaggerated move and it's just too inconsistent it's too difficult to get all of that stuff working together and you can see because he's trying so hard to produce some speed and he can he can produce a lot of speed it would just be very difficult to control starting to get into a little bit of a chicken wing move here and this and his head's moving quite a bit because he's trying to do everything he can to get power because he didn't load up his body let's make it really simple let's turn our body focus on keeping that left arm straight and the right arm straight obviously the right arm is going to bend but you're going to imagine like you'll see in the bonus videos that you keep that right arm straight as long as you can it helps act as a piston to push that right shoulder blade back and then you're ready to start firing on the way down and release the club effortlessly through the ball and you can see even though it doesn't look i'll play this at speed so you can see i rarely look like i'm swinging that fast but you know it's 196 yard seven iron so it's not exactly hard for somebody to produce speed it's how you do it and this is one of the keys to effortless power is making sure you make that full shoulder turn by the time that your lead arm is parallel to the ground now take a look at the bonus videos down in the description below to walk you through each key step of this understanding how to do this yourself and go out and try it this weekend and if you do let me know how it works out in the comments below
