Golf Swing Transition Webinar

Webinar by Chuck Quinton covering the golf swing transition and how to improve your golf swing during the winter.

---

I see your comments on my phone here.

So cool.

All right.

I'm good.

So one quick note here as we're getting ready to get started, there's 700 people registered for this.

Obviously, I can't answer 700,000 questions from you guys, but I'm going to do my best.

We've got an hour here.

So what I'm going to do, I got a lot of great feedback from the Q&A from the survey, and there were two things that were really consistent.

Now, there were tons of great suggestions.

I wish I can't get to them all right now, but if you guys like this format, we'll keep doing these.

So the two things that were the most common were the transition, which everybody struggles with, and how to keep your swing.

Really working during the winter, and those are two things that rotary swing is really, really, uh, at the top of the heat.

For that we do really, really well.

So those are two things that, uh, I want to make sure that, says pick froze.

That could be.

I'm going to try and not interrupt myself a whole bunch here.

But if you guys start getting a bunch of technical issues, it's probably a Wi-Fi issue on your end.

Um, but if I'll try to catch them here as I can on my phone, but uh.

Anyway, all right, So here's the two things that I want to talk about, dealing with the transition and with the how to kind of keep your swing lubed up during the winter.

We'll start to cover both.

And again, like I said, I'll keep trying to keep trying to check everything here as I go back.

So, all right, hands down, number one thing that every single amateur just destroys their golf swing with is the transition.

Okay?

And just for those of you that don't know and aren't as technically swing-minded as others, The transition is the change of direction, from when your body and the club is going backwards to getting ready to come back down and strike the ball.

And that's what we call the transition.

That transition.

I'll just give you a little message here.

The transition is when I swing like my normal.

We'll come back to that.

The transition.

is what makes everything work in the swing.

When I say everything, I literally mean every critical component, which is having lag, leverage in the swing, the angle within your forearm and the shaft, club head speed, tension, swing plane, swing path.

All of that stuff is radically changed depending on how you transition, good or bad.

So the key is understanding what causes you to have a really poor transition.

And then understanding how to fix it.

And that's honestly, it's really, really simple, But I'm going to go into it a little bit more in depth because so many people struggle with it and I've got so many questions about it.

So the number one thing that you do, and I'm going to ask this question, I'll give you guys a chance to answer it first.

What is the first thing that starts the transition?

So if you guys can pop it up in your chat here, I'm going to look for answers, see what we've got.

The first thing that you do to start your transition, what is it?

Somebody answer for me.

Anyway, be over.

Come on.

It's on the weight shift.

There we go.

Thank you, Chan.

If I had a prize, I'd give it to you.

The weight shift is what lets everything sequence.

And the golf swing at the end of the day is all about sequencing.

And so if you sequence correctly, everything starts to fall into place.

When you don't sequence correctly, then everything falls apart.

Now, with the transition, here is the number one thing that everybody does from the top.

is when they go from here, they start unwinding their shoulders, either from pushing from this right leg, we see the right heel come up in the air right away, this is what causes you to lose your posture, or they start pushing from the right side of the body.

And all of these things cause every single swing flaw that you ever have struggled with.

And I mean everything.

If you start pushing from the right side, look how steep the shaft is, look how it comes out over.

Starts getting near vertical and goes past my right shoulder.

Notice as I start pushing from the right side that I start losing my posture, losing my spine.

I start moving my hips into the ball.

I call this the puppy dog humping the fire hydrant.

You don't want this move here.

All of these things swinging over the top.

It's all caused from tension in the wrong place at the wrong time.

And typically that's coming from your shoulders, your upper body, and typically your right shoulder, right arm.

People can't believe how relaxed, relatively, This side of your body needs to be at the top of your backswing in order for the swing to sequence correctly.

It doesn't matter how hard you try or what you tell yourself or how good your intentions are.

If you have a lot of tension built up here on the right side of your body, whether it be in your right leg, your right hip, or the right shoulder, It will fire first, and it'll cause all the bad things I just talked about.

You'll throw the club away.

You'll lose lag.

You'll swing over the top.

You'll swing across the ball, et cetera.

All of that stuff is caused by tension.

So the first thing that you've got for you guys, getting rid of this tension.

So what I want you to do, and if you're standing there from your computer, I want you to get up and do this with me.

I want you to go to this, get in your setup, put your arms across the chest.

Now, I want you to think about the move we've talked about a million times, taking that right shoulder and pulling it behind your head, and just make a nice full turn.

And I want you to tell me what you feel in the right side of your body right now, your right arm, your right tricep, your right shoulder.

You probably don't feel anything, right?

Because you didn't use that to do anything.

You focus instead, if you've been watching the videos, using your torso to turn your body, and your arms and shoulders stay really relaxed.

This is what it should feel like at the top of your swing.

That should be an aha moment for you.

That's how little tension you should have in the right arm, right side of your body, right shoulder at the top of your swing.

Now the difference is, of course, when we grab a club, We want to start picking this thing up and swinging it around and force it to go where we want it to, when in reality what you need to do is move the club with your body like you just did.

The whole backswing is no more complicated than what I just showed you here.

If you can do this, you can swing like every great tour player on the planet.

It's that simple.

The problem comes when we start worrying about this little thing and start doing this and moving around all over the place.

So if you focus on this, when you go to the top, you still want to feel that that right arm, that right shoulder has the same level of tension.

Now, of course, there'll be a little bit more tension than when you're not moving it at all because, of course, some muscular efforts involve in helping the club swing up.

But really what you want to try and use is momentum created by your body rotation.

to help swing the club up for you.

You don't want to take the club and try and pick it up.

If you have tension in your forearms and your grip and your shoulders when you're setting up to the ball, that's a huge sign that your brain is getting ready to use those muscles way too early in the swing.

And that's the problem.

Instead of trying to use your body to move the club, to start it back and feel like you're just turning your body, we all want to do this and pick the club and get ready to slaughter that ball right away.

So tension is the number one thing to circle back, long story here, to circle back to why you can't transition properly.

Because if these muscles are loaded first, right from address, right from the takeaway, and at the top of your swing, you're ready to tomahawk it, you'll never transition correctly.

And so many golfers struggle with weight shift, they don't understand why.

I'm giving you the answer.

And hint, this is it.

If you have tension here, you'll never be able to shift your weight properly first.

And if you do, you try to shift properly, But this is so tight and so ready to fire.

That.

What you'll have to do in order to shift your hips fast enough to outrun how quick your arms can move, you'll have to push really hard off the right leg.

And as soon as you do that, you lose your posture and everything else goes in the trash bucket.

So in order to have a proper transition and be able to shift your weight correctly, it all comes down to tension.

We're doing it.

We've got to have some tension.

Right?

So where we do want tension is in our lower body.

So when we go to the top, instead of winding this up and feeling so tight that you can't move at all, it just needs to unwind, I want to feel that my lower body, and specifically my left side, my left leg, is the first thing that's ready to move.

And so it's got to have a little tension in this left hip area so that it can move first.

You put that together and you start getting tension in the right places, that is how you start transitioning correctly.

That's how you shift your weight curve.

So if you struggle with your weight shift, I guarantee you, you have too much tension in your arms, your shoulders, the right side of your body, et cetera.

And all of that stuff has got to relax.

And that is what allows you to make a proper transition.

So now I'm going to check in and see you make sure everything's doing okay.

Everything's chosen.

Okay.

It's like everybody's okay here for the most part.

Some people have some internet connection issues.

So if you have any questions, now there's a questions and answers tab.

If you have some questions on the transition now, I want to cover them now.

So please post them in the questions and answers tab there, and I'll do my best to answer everything I can.

How about swing thoughts to support this idea?

Swing thoughts to me are.

a double -edged sword.

I'm not a huge fan of swing thoughts, but I'll do my best to answer that question.

Your brain needs to be generally in your swing in your trunk, in your lower body.

And so if you're focusing on moving this, your lower body, excuse me, your upper body will have to follow along because it's attached to your pelvis via your spine and, of course, all this connective tissue.

So if your brain is always focused down here, this stuff will have a chance to work out right now.

The problem is, we all focus on this stuff up here, and so that's what tends to fire first.

And then we don't ever think about our lower body, so how would we ever get a chance to move correctly first?

So, to answer your question, as part of the swing thought, there's not one specific swing thought.

Swing thoughts are very subjective, everybody.

There's no real rhyme or reasons per se, to have some effective swing thought.

And to be honest with you, swing thoughts I call chopping wood, W-O-O-D.

Swing thoughts are things that work only one day.

And the reason is you're just constantly chasing after yourself.

So really, what you want to do is work on feeling what it is you're trying to do, that you're struggling with.

So if you're struggling with your weight shift, then the number one thing I've been trying to focus on and feel.

is develop a sense of my upper body being relaxed while this is being ready to focus and move first.

So, notice I'm trying to move my left knee just a little bit first to get that first move to help move my pelvis back over to the left.

So as far as the swing thought, you can take something from that.

You can say, well, I want to move my left knee first.

It doesn't move a lot.

It just moves into neutral joint alignment back over my left ankle.

But if you wanted to think of that, you'll notice that as I'm doing this, my hips are starting to unwind.

and shift back to the left, but my shoulders are still staying relatively shut.

So that might be a good swing thought for you.

What else we got in here?

David, does hand position at the top affect swing path during the transition?

And how important would hand position be?

It absolutely does.

But, again, this is where people tend to focus on the wrong thing.

So David, it's a great question because it's a really common thing that people misunderstand.

And I'm going to give you an example of this, of why this is, while it's incredibly important, it's less important than everybody tends to make you believe.

And what I mean by that is, if you look at Jim Furyk at the top, where are his arms, right?

Way up here somewhere.

Now, he doesn't swing down from there like every amateur typically would, because if they did, they'd swing over the top and whack across the ball and slice it.

So what does he do?

From here, he obviously shallows it out.

With a really big leg drive and really relaxed arms to allow his arms to come back to the inside into this club.

He actually creates a perfectly square path at impact.

Now, obviously, that's a really complex movement pattern, which is what all the golf swing is.

It's just a movement pattern.

So while it still creates a good swing path at the end of the day, it's pretty complex to try and teach somebody to do that.

So now, by the same token, you can swing really flat and still heave over the top.

Or come over.

It all depends on how you sequence your body.

Remember, I said, everything comes down to sequencing and it's where you move from.

That's going to dictate what kind of offer you are.

So your hands could be really low, they could be really high, and you could still figure out some sort of compensation to make it all work together.

In an ideal world, RST is all about having the fewest moving parts, literally, humanly possible.

That's why we looked at it from an anatomical perspective.

We actually look at the joints, the body, the bones and putting the arms into positions.

Where if we just did nothing else but shift our weight, my club dropped right down on plane without me having to do this big loop or any of those things.

So the backswing position that we teach in the five minutes to the perfect backswing video is why that arm position is where it is, why the hand position is where it is.

So if you look at the five minutes to the Perfect Backswing video, it's specifically teaching you from a standing position exactly what I'm doing.

This is the drill in the video, without going in depth about it, of exactly where your hands need to be so you don't have to have any compensations like that.

So hopefully that answers your question.

Jack, we're backing into the target with center, a lower backstop over the top with the shoulders.

I'm not sure I follow that on Jack.

If you could rephrase the question, I would appreciate it.

Dennis, how do I start the transition without while still turning back?

Great question.

Again, it comes down to tension.

is how you're going to sequence your swing correctly.

It will sequence correctly if you create tension in the right place at the right time.

This is your brain's number one cue for how to start the downswing and start moving the other direction is tension, muscular tension.

Think about this for a second.

You don't have to understand the golf swing at the level that I do to understand how to fix your swing.

If you load a muscle and you get really, really tight and you contract as hard as you can, what is the number one thing your brain is telling you to do?

It wants you to release that tension.

Your golf swing, of course, is exactly the same.

It's just happening much quicker, but it's the same dynamics.

So if you've got a ton of tension as you're going back and you're trying to start back the other way, you need to load the muscles that you want to be moving first, and the muscles that you don't want to be moving need to be relaxed.

So in other words, the reason people don't kind of get that little sequence of.

The upper body and the club still going back, and then the lower body starting to unwind a little bit before the upper body finishes its turns.

Because this is really, really tight and it fires first.

So again, it comes down to loading your muscles and creating tension in the right place at the right time.

Any other questions here?

So I see some questions in the chat section and some in the Q&A section, so I'll try to go through both.

How about you stop?

taking the collateral on the inside and stop rolling the wrists.

I'm going to try and keep all of this stuff into the downswing, transition stuff just to make it consistent.

We'll do another webinar soon and if it's going to be a takeaway one, I'll try and do a bunch of takeaway stuff.

But we're going to try and keep this kind of consistent on the same thing.

So if you want to have questions, please post them kind of more towards the idea of transition and that kind of stuff.

Okay.

I'm going to go back to the bottom of the list here, see what I can find.

What about a squat as a trigger to start the transition?

It's a good question.

The squat is kind of like a graduate -level move.

It's incredibly powerful.

It's very important, but you don't necessarily have to do it that much in order to get the benefits from it.

And so I want to talk about what that squat is for just a second.

Because it does have to do with the transition and how and why you should use it.

When you're ready to implement this in your swing, what it's really going to do for you.

So the squat move, a lot of people kind of, you know, Sam Sneed was kind of famous for this.

He went to the top and kind of had this bow -legged look as he started his transition down.

And people never understood what that was really all about.

And it was a brilliant move.

Tiger Woods kind of got famous for the same thing, but not so much a bow-legged move, but an actual squat move.

The squat move is creating tension.

Remember what I said earlier?

Everything's about sequencing and tension, sequencing and tension.

If you want to be able to use your legs in the downswing at impact in order to generate power and leverage from the ground, you have to activate them.

So if I go down into impact, excuse me, if I'm in the downswing and I'm like this, like every typical amateur golfer, I'm just kind of, my legs kind of straight.

Well, what can I do with my legs right now?

Nothing, right?

Because my legs are fully extended.

So these joints, unless I.

Create an angle here.

There's nothing for me to do anything with these muscles because they're already fully extended, or, in this in case, relax.

So as I go and I start squat down now, what I've done is creating potential energy, as if I'm doing this during the transition move.

This allows me, by the time I'm done, creating tension and loading up these muscle fibers in my legs.

As I get into the impact position, I'm going to be pushing up.

So you'll notice, I'll put the face on here, as I start down, I'm kind of doing my little squat move here.

Again, this doesn't have to be very exaggerated.

It can be a small amount.

We're just trying to load muscle fibers.

So as I do this, and I'm in this position now, as I'm getting ready to come into impact, I'm going to start pushing this leg up because I've got an angle here, which is potential energy.

As I push against the ground, my body's moving in what direction?

It's moving up.

What direction is the club supposed to be moving at this point?

Down.

Equal and opposites.

So as I move my hip up and back, that forces the club to move down and out away from me.

That's what I'm talking about when I say I hit the ball with my legs.

That's what we mean by that.

So in order for me to have this leverage, This potential energy in my lower body to be able to create this leverage and make the club go down and out, while my hips go up and back, always moving in the opposite direction of the clubs, an RST mantra.

So as we're trying to get the club to go this way, I want to move my body this way.

In order to do that, I have to have this squat element during the transition so that I load muscle fibers so that I can push up against the ground.

Does that make sense?

Hopefully that answers your question there.

I'll try and dive in here and see if there are any more on that.

Let's see.

Now you guys have tricked me.

You moved all your questions to the other side.

Okay.

Let me try to catch back up here.

Let's see.

Try to catch up.

There's a lot of questions here, guys.

I'm going to do my best, I promise.

Chan, is shallowing the club a passive move related to the weight shift rather than that active move?

Abso-freaking -lutely.

Your arms and hands are responding to what your lower body is telling them and making them do.

So yes, 100%.

Robert, my right elbow never seems to get out in front of the right side, always behind.

You're pushing too hard from your right side of your body.

Simple.

If your right elbow is stuck like this at impact, it's because you're pushing from your right leg and your arms.

are stuck behind your body and you can't catch up, you've got to stop pushing from your right leg.

It's a huge part of what we do, and we're talking about the RST five-step videos, is getting you to move your body in the right sequence and from the correct side of your body.

When do you consider the transition complete?

That's an interesting question.

I would say at the end of the squat move would probably be a good thing.

Because I'm now got everything moving back the other direction.

And the club should have changed directions by then.

So once the club direction is changed and not moving the other way, transition is pretty much done.

Do you have a rolling wrist?

That's more of a takeaway thing or I'm assuming downstream impact thing.

I'm still trying to focus more on transition stuff here.

Uh, Brian.

Okay, so assuming I'm one that is two tenths and the shoulder is the top of the back, so do I just try to relax more and tighten the left knee hip more?

More or less, yes, that's kind of, that's the big picture answer, right?

It's obviously a lot simpler said than done.

The key is getting your brain to go through enough exercises, enough repetitions.

to where your body is instinctively loading the right muscles first.

And that takes a little bit of practice.

By doing these drills of focusing on turning and feeling resistance and coil and tension in this part of your body.

While learning to feel that, it's okay for this to feel relaxed.

And that's a big transition mentally for a lot of golfers is to go to the top of their swing and feel like, my arms really aren't doing anything.

You're not going to be able to do that at first because you won't know how to hit the ball to generate any power there, and that's going to, unfortunately, always override.

Our subconscious is always going to be like, well, I'm at the top of my swing.

I now need to hit the ball really hard, and that will tend to override any good intentions that you may have to use your lower body first.

So it just takes a little bit of practice of going to the top and staying relaxed while having something active to do.

If you start learning how to move your lower body first by weight, shifting your weight and posting up, and your brain is just focused on nothing but your hip movements and posting up on the left side, by the time you're done putting all your mental energy in, thinking about this, the club's already at impact.

And you don't have to do anything with your arms.

And that's kind of the essence of the swing, is that when you're focusing on moving from this, It takes so much mental energy at first that you won't have time to really think about your arms.

I always tell people to put their head in their ass.

It's a bad way of putting it, but it gives us an excuse for being, you know, men typically.

So if you think about your swing coming from here to here, basically, and you think about just what's happening here, and you don't worry about what your arms and hands are doing, just forget about them.

Give up control to gain control for a little bit.

As you start coming down, you'll realize by the time you get posted up, look where my hands are.

I don't have to worry about my hands.

It's just a little mental exercise to get over that first.

How still should you hold your head in transition?

Don't worry about it.

As long as you're not pushing hard off the right side, your head's not going to move out in front of the ball.

So don't worry about your head.

It's got to move a little bit.

It's natural.

Don't sweat it.

Okay, so knee starts transitioning and squat.

Yeah, you can think of it like that.

This little knee move, a lot of people get kind of confused about it, but I'm going to make it really simple for you to understand why I use this as a teaching tool.

If you were a throw ball or a sphere or something, a rock, what would be the first thing that you would do?

Well, first thing we do is we can actually shift our weight all the way to the right side, if you're a right-handed thrower.

And then we rotate on this hip, and then we get ready to strike.

Guess what the first thing to move would be?

You externally rotate your leg while taking a stride to move and orient your pelvis in the direction that you're going to throw this object.

It's the most efficient way mankind has figured out how to propel something when we're hunting for food or throwing baseballs.

So this movement is the same thing you're doing in the golf swing.

The only difference is you just can't take a step.

I guess you can technically.

We've done that before.

It's a good drill to exercise to take a step to get you used to shifting your weight.

But the same thing is happening.

We're coiled up.

It's like we're throwing a ball.

And now we're just moving that knee to help externally rotate, to get the weight and the hips rotating and moving in the other direction.

So that's a good way of thinking about it.

I've heard the term closed hip slide.

What is that?

Is this a good move or a bad move?

It's a bad move.

A closed hip slide, when we go back, when we take our movement to the top, Your hips are going to turn about 45 degrees, right?

So this is square parallel to the target line.

They're now 45 degrees closed to the target.

What people tend to do is then push off their right leg in order to shift their weight.

Now, how much did my hips rotate?

Well, Really, not much at all.

This didn't help me at all because now I haven't turned my hips.

My hip rotation is what turns my upper body in the down swing, and that's what moves the club and the arms back to the ball.

So when you do this, close the tip slide, all you're doing is shifting your weight, which I'll give you an A for effort.

That's a good start.

But you've also got to be unwinding your hips to get them turned enough to bring your shoulders back to square, so close the tip slide.

No, going on, do you pronate your wrist at impact?

I find that hard.

Uh, yes, but again, I'm going to try to focus more on transition stuff.

I see now you guys are tricking me and putting questions both on both sides again.

So I'll catch the top one here.

Can you clarify posting up on the downstand?

Are you straightening your lead leg?

Yes, you are straightening your lead leg.

It is not straight at impact.

It is straightening so that you can still deliver force during this strike.

So yes, you are definitely straightening your lead leg.

One of the biggest mistakes that a lot of golfers make is they come into impact like this.

Not only is their knee out past.

their ankle, which puts it in a very susceptible position for injury, but there's no power in this.

This isn't a powerful position.

Power is created primarily by leverage in the swing.

Leverage is taking an angle and then reducing that angle.

So as I'm pushing against the ground, I'm using the ground for force to help move my body up in order to help move the club down.

So let's see if I can scroll back through some of these.

Pat, should I post it before moving my trail foot?

If I understand your question correctly, I try to make all my students keep their right foot on the ground, if they have a problem with pushing and turning it up really early, until the ball's long gone, at least until the hands are back at 3 o 'clock on the other side.

So if you're here, I'll let your foot come up.

But before this, there's no real reason for it.

If you do, If your right heel is coming up in the air, it's because you're moving it, and you shouldn't be moving like that from the right side at all at this point in the swing, or you're turning too much, And that's either caused because your shoulders are turning a lot, or because you're pushing off this right leg too much.

But if you're moving correctly from the left side, moving as hard as I can, that's as far as I can open my hips moving from the left side of my body, my right heel is still on the ground.

All right, what else we got?

Is the feel of the transition like John Wayne riding a horse?

God, I wish I knew what that meant.

Because that is pretty cool, but I have no idea what John Wayne riding a horse feels like.

But if you redefine that question, I'm going to take a stat about it because I like the analogy.

Okay.

Go back over to the Q&A section.

Could you explain how the down cock figures you into the transition?

It's natural.

If you go to the top of your swing and you're getting ready to transition back to the left, What should your wrist be doing at that stage in the swing?

So to clarify, I'm at the top of my swing.

What should my wrist be doing here?

Nothing.

They should be responding to the mass of the club head swinging, which is being swung by the rotation of my body.

And my body creates this initial momentum for the club.

My arms are just kind of following along.

The club's going to feel heavy if I don't let my wrist set at all.

So my wrists are responding to the weight of the club.

And now as the club begins to move this way, guess what that's going to do to my wrists?

If my wrists are soft, it's going to set them.

So if my wrists are up here, the club now feels heavy.

So as I go back, and now I start to transition the other way, the falling mass of the club head and my wrist being soft and being.

Drug back the other way by my rotating hips will make the club down cock, and that's how you create a down cock.

There's nothing active about it.

It's the last thing on earth you'd ever want to do is try and set your wrist Down.

Cock is a total natural thing, but sometimes.

For people who have really, really bad habits of throwing the club or wrists are too tight.

I'll make them do some drills Exaggerating that down cock motion, but that's totally passive.

So see if I can Find some more questions in here.

In transition, my right elbow is at 45 degrees.

I know it should be vertical, but I can't get it there.

So, Bill, I think I understand your question.

Let me read it one more time.

At 45 degrees, I know it should be vertical.

So I'm assuming you're talking about this position and your elbow is like this.

So if that's what you mean, then there's typically what causes just not enough external rotation.

In the arm, but it's not likely because pretty much everybody can stick their arm up like this.

This would be effectively a little bit tilted over, just depending on what your spine angle is.

But if you have that much external rotation, your right elbow, it's enough.

If your elbow is really bad like this, that's because you pushed your left arm really hard across your body.

But if it's a little bit out like this, it's perfectly okay again.

Your arms should be really relaxed at this stage, so they're just going to start to fall back in front of your body.

Shouldn't be a problem.

Let's see.

If I get my hands and arms too far behind me at the top, how does that affect the transition?

It's going to make it suck, Rob, because your arms are going to get stuck behind your body.

So what happens when you make your arms swing really deep like this because you overused your arms, what have you done?

What have you told your brain?

Think about that for a second.

You've taken your arms and clubbing someone really deep.

There's a consequence for every move that you do in the swing.

The consequence here is that you've really stretched this whole left shoulder, girl, because it's being pulled deep across your body.

Guess where the tension in your body is now?

This is maxed up.

You can't move it any further than this.

So your brain is saying, hey, I guess he wants to use this first to start the down swing.

Same thing with your right arm.

Some people do it like this.

It's loading up this right peck to get it into a position where it really can push and be powerful.

If you swing your arms too deep, You're overusing your arms and nothing will sequence correctly unless you put together a really clever set of compensations in order to put it all back together.

So the key is keeping your arms out of the swing in that part of the swing.

They don't have to really do much.

Just let them chill out and focus on using your body.

To turn them back and your arms can chill out and stand in front of your body, it makes the golf swing a million times easier.

All right.

How do I move my hips forward without spinning or sliding them?

Move from the left side of the body.

That's covered in the videos.

So anytime we're talking about transition videos, downswing videos, weight shift videos, all that stuff that's covered on the site.

If you're spinning or sliding, it's only going to come from one place, and that is pushing from this right leg.

As soon as you take that out, you can't spin, you can't slide.

You move from the left side of your body.

The left side of your body, if you pull from your left adductor as hard as you can, it can only pull you in a neutral joint aligner.

That's the beauty of it.

When you move from the correct side of your body, everything falls into place for you.

Let's see.

You're trying to go back through some of these other ones because you guys are crushing me here.

You dismissed closed hips down swing, but if your hips start too early at turn, would that not result in over the top?

It wouldn't necessarily result in over the top, but it can.

That's pretty common, especially for amateur golfers.

But if you start too early, would that result in over the top?

The key, again, is where you move from.

If you move from the left side of your body, so you're right into the golfer playing from the left side of the ball with right-handed golf clubs.

If you move from this side, I'm going to turn as hard as I can.

Well, my hips can only get 45 degrees open.

I can't get any more open than this.

So it's impossible for me to come over the top unless I do something with my arms.

But assuming my arms are chilled out and nice and relaxed at the top, and I move just from the left side, it's not possible for you to come over the top.

The only way you're going to come over the top is, again, pushing from the right side, heaving from the right side of your body.

Dwight, inside muscles of your thighs here.

So think of the really odd exercise of the gym when you squeeze your legs together.

And I like to help people feel this at the golf course when we're doing lessons as I have them.

Take their left foot, stick it on the ground, draw your weight on your right side, and drag your left foot over, and you'll feel these muscles activate.

And those are the same muscles that you use to help pull you over to the left side.

Let's see.

How do I move my hips forward without spitting or sliding then?

I think I answered that one.

Yeah, I think so.

Okay, my transition is too quick and I'm hitting from the top.

How to slow down the transition.

All right, so I'll take that one again.

Tension, tension, tension.

Where the tension is, it's going to dictate where you sequence and how you sequence your downspin.

But some of you guys really like training age and you've seen this floppy golf club I have here.

Um, I'm not a big fan of training aids, as you guys probably know, I'm a fan of teaching you how to do everything correctly with your body.

But some training aids have some value in life.

And I've used to really use a lot.

The, I think called the wippy tempo Master, I'm sure you guys have seen it, but it was basically like this.

That had an insanely wippy shaft, and it was so wippy that it was kind of not really useful in the real world.

Applique.

Because you had to swing so slow and so smooth with your tempo that it didn't replicate what a real swing was like.

And so recently, somebody from the UK sent me these, and they're called G-Force.

And we have a link to them on the website.

We just put it up today for you guys.

So I'll put a link up on the.

The webinar here in a second.

But basically what it is?

It's like a whippy tempo master on steroids, so it's a much thicker shaft, and so it's not so whippy.

You can bend a whippy tempo master in half, basically.

So, in order to help you be smooth, if you like training aids rather than just focusing on keeping your body soft.

These are really cool because if you get a little quick, especially during the transitions or during the takeaway.

Excuse me, some of you guys asked about how to stop rolling your wrist.

This exaggerates all those movements, so it helps you feel them a lot easier.

So as you go to the top and you start 1000 swinging really hard from the top, you 1001 can see this thing's really going to get 1002 my attention here.

So if I go to the top 1003 and swing nice and smooth and keep my 1004 stuff sequenced correctly instead of 1005 trying to tension with my hands, my hands 1006 are nice and relaxed.

As long as I let 1007 everything go nice and soft, I'll feel 1008 the club set and bend and stress the 1009 shaft.

And I'm going to maintain that all 1010 the way down to impact and I'll help fuel 1011 that lag.

So I'll put that up there real 1012 quick.

So you guys, you big training aid 1013 that's out there, you'll be able to get 1014 access to that on the site.

1015 So let's see if this shows up.

1016 I think we might've put this on sale for 1017 you guys who are attending the clinic.

1018 So, all right, so it's on sale for an 1019 hour I believe.

1020 You should see that there.

So if you like 1021 that kind of stuff and you like a real 1022 training aid, you can actually hit balls 1023 with this, which is pretty cool.

1024 But it really will force you to smooth 1025 out your transitions.

Now, at the end of 1026 the day, 1027 training aids are not the answer.

The 1028 answer is using your body correctly.

As 1029 soon as you let go of that training aid, 1030 what are you going to do?

But that 1031 doesn't mean you can't use a training aid 1032 like this.

Along with using your body 1033 correctly as you're working them together 1034 to help accelerate the learning process.

1035 Instantly, as soon as you start throwing 1036 it, it's going to feel terrible because 1037 the shaft bends in the other direction.

1038 So anyway, hopefully that helps.

How is 1039 this device different from the Orange 1040 Whip?

1041 It's way freaking cheaper.

No offense to 1042 the Orange Whip, guys.

The Orange Whip's 1043 great, but it's just too damn expensive 1044 for something you can't get it off all 1045 with.

And I've had numerous discussions 1046 with them.

They've had numerous people 1047 tell them the same thing, but they sell a 1048 ton of them.

So, you know, they're in 1049 business to make money.

I get it.

I think 1050 they could sell a lot more if they were 1051 cheaper.

This is like 40 bucks cheaper, 1052 and you can hit balls with it.

1053 1054 it's kind of no-brainer.

And, really cool 1055 about this, this is a wedge, but they 1056 actually have a wedge and a 7-iron.

So, I 1057 really, in my chipping stuff, I am a big 1058 proponent of using your body, especially 1059 your lower body, in chip shots.

And so 1060 that allows you to keep your hands in 1061 reserve and keep them really soft in 1062 order to manipulate the club face a 1063 little bit.

So if you want to put a 1064 little hook spin on one to get you to 1065 roll up a second tier, you want to hold 1066 it off a little bit.

Keeping your hands 1067 really soft gives you a great touch 1068 around the grain.

So that's what I've 1069 been using this a lot for, is hitting 1070 little chip shots with it because then it 1071 helps smooth out my pitching.

So they 1072 made a seven iron and a pitching wedge, 1073 which is 54 degree.

So it's really cool 1074 for that.

It's a big difference between 1075 that and the orange whip.

You can get 1076 balls with it, and it's way cheaper.

1077 Let's see if I can get back to where I 1078 was.

1079 Can you discuss driver transition versus 1080 iron?

Where's your weight?

It's the same.

1081 The golf swing is all about movement 1082 patterns.

So whether you're hitting a 1083 wedge, a seven iron, a two iron, a 1084 driver, it's all exactly the same.

The 1085 only difference is the timing of it is a 1086 little bit different because you've got, 1087 and of course, the swing is like a 1088 posture.

1089 The sequence that you're moving, your 1090 body, your weight shift, etc.

all of that 1091 stuff is exactly the same, it never 1092 changes.

You don't want to try and learn 1093 13 different golf swings, you want to 1094 learn one golf swing, which is all about 1095 moving your body correctly.

And that will 1096 get everything falling in sequence for 1097 you.

So they're the same.

How do I get 1098 rid of the gremlin that jumps on my 1099 shoulders?

The top of my swing tells me 1100 to hurry, Phil, you can hurry if you use 1101 your lower body.

If you want to smash the 1102 wall.

I love smashing the ball.

1103 It's all about moving your trunk first.

1104 This is the biggest bone structure in 1105 your body, your pelvis.

So if you move 1106 this fast, it's pretty hard to do.

So 1107 you've got to be a little bit patient 1108 because you've got to give this time to 1109 shift back over.

It can't move nearly as 1110 fast as your wrists and hands and stuff 1111 can.

So if you're going to move fast, 1112 you're going to hit the ball hard.

I'm 1113 all for it.

I love crushing it.

It's all 1114 about getting this to move fast.

And then 1115 don't worry about this.

Let this follow 1116 along.

And then everything will start to 1117 fall into place.

1118 How important is keeping the weight on 1119 the ankles throughout the swing, and 1120 would it make it easier for transition 1121 focusing on the left ankle to shift the 1122 weight to start?

1123 Yeah, that's a good question.

1124 First of all, let me be clear about 1125 something.

1126 For those of you, I think a lot, this is 1127 all just, none of you guys are premium 1128 members, so there's a lot of stuff that's 1129 covered on the site.

There's 300 and 1130 something videos, maybe 400 or 500 videos 1131 on there now.

So there's a lot of stuff 1132 that's all covered on there.

So I won't 1133 go super in-depth on this, but.

The 1134 weight moves in a circle eight pattern in 1135 the swing.

It doesn't just move laterally 1136 from your ankle to your ankle.

As you go 1137 at a dress, when I go back, your weight's 1138 actually going to move further back, and 1139 it's going to move a little bit on the 1140 ball of your foot at the top of your 1141 swing.

Now, the weight's going to move 1142 back to my ankle, and it's going to move 1143 on the ball of my right foot.

So it moves 1144 in this figure eight pattern.

But if you 1145 wanted to think about.

I like to use 1146 something that oftentimes I'll stick a T 1147 or something under my student's foot.

And 1148 let them lift their left heel at the top 1149 of the back, swing a little bit and then 1150 tell them to smash it down in.

And that 1151 helps them focus on getting the lower 1152 body and the left side awake to help move 1153 their weight back to the left.

So that's 1154 a good way to think about it if you think 1155 about kind of using the left side.

1156 Let's see.

1157 Try to catch up here.

1158 Dave, looking for some tips, got a sales 1159 pitch.

Sorry, Dave, what did I, where did 1160 I miss you?

1161 I'm pretty much the anti-sales guy, so if 1162 I can help you, I definitely will.

1163 All right, any, 1164 let me see, any other questions?

1165 I'm trying to catch up with them here, 1166 but I got a little overwhelmed there for 1167 a second.

1168 No other questions in the Q&A section?

1169 Can you practice a transition weight 1170 shift in slow motion, or does it have to 1171 be done at real speed?

That's a great 1172 question.

1173 Gary, it needs to be both.

This is a huge 1174 mistake that so many students make.

1175 You have to start slow at first, or 1176 you'll just never get it.

You'll keep 1177 repeating the same movement patterns 1178 because your brain is really lazy, and it 1179 likes to do the stuff that you're already 1180 really good at over and over and over 1181 again.

1182 If you are struggling with this stuff and 1183 you can't get the transition correctly, 1184 the obvious answer, which should be 1185 obvious, but we don't always realize it 1186 this way, is that you should just slow 1187 down.

How slow should you go?

Slow enough 1188 that you can do the movement exactly 1189 right.

And that's the speed that your 1190 brain can keep up right now.

So if that's 1191 really, really, severely slow, that's 1192 just the speed you need to go right now.

1193 But that doesn't mean you stay at that 1194 speed forever.

In fact, what you've got 1195 to do.

is begin to challenge your 1196 brain.

Once you can do the movement 1197 correctly at a certain speed, slowly 1198 start ramping up that speed until you can 1199 do it at real speed.

And the same thing 1200 with the club.

Everything in RST is all 1201 about stacking and sequencing.

So if 1202 you're working on your transition, guess 1203 what I'm going to make you do?

Take your 1204 arms out of it.

You don't need them right 1205 now.

You're never going to learn a proper 1206 transition if you're worried about 1207 swinging your arms and positioning your 1208 wrists at the top.

Angle the club face, 1209 how much lag you're going to create.

1210 It'll never work.

Nobody in brain can 1211 keep up with all that crap.

So I'm going 1212 to take your arms out of it.

And then I'm 1213 going to have you focus on just never put 1214 your head back in your ass and focus on 1215 your lower body.

And if this is the speed 1216 that you can go, that's the speed we work 1217 at.

And I see you the next time or you're 1218 at home doing these drills on your own, 1219 then you're going to try to speed it up a 1220 little bit and speed it up a little bit 1221 and so on.

And once I can do it with 1222 speed, I stack another piece on there to 1223 challenge my brain, which might be speed.

1224 I might keep ramping it up, or I might 1225 put one arm out there.

Now I'm going to 1226 focus on the same thing.

When you look at 1227 the RST five-step stuff, that's exactly 1228 the sequence that we go through.

1229 Take your arms out of it.

Focus on your 1230 lower body.

Once your lower body's 1231 working correctly, then we're going to 1232 add another piece.

We're going to add 1233 that left arm.

We'll add the club, so on 1234 and so forth.

So first of all, go as slow 1235 as you need to to get the movement right.

1236 Add challenge to it by adding speed, 1237 stacking complex pieces on it, and as you 1238 keep going, that's how you learn.

The 1239 reality is, the problem is people want to 1240 take something that they learn as a quick 1241 tip, quick fix, and go straight to the 1242 driving range and start smashing drivers.

1243 Some people do.

I've given lessons where 1244 people have gone out and shot their best 1245 life in the round right after the lesson, 1246 and I've had times when people don't.

1247 It's just the normal of it.

You need to 1248 think about it with some logic for a 1249 second.

If you learned how to drive a car 1250 on a manual transmission, which many of 1251 us old-timers did.

I know I'm 40 now, so 1252 I consider myself an old-timer.

1253 I learned how to drive on a manual 1254 transmission.

1255 In doing that, I learned in a parking lot 1256 with no people around, nothing to hit, 1257 etc.

I'm sure you probably did some 1258 backcountry road, nobody around, because 1259 there were no distractions.

You didn't do 1260 that at a racetrack.

Nor did you learn 1261 how to drive in the parking lot and then 1262 instantly the next day, go try and drive 1263 the Indy 500.

You would have killed 1264 yourself and everybody around you.

The 1265 golf swing is no different.

Learning is 1266 learning.

So when you're working at home 1267 and you're doing your drills in front of 1268 your mirror, I don't know if Chuck's 1269 having me focus on moving this knee and 1270 get posted up and get into this great 1271 impact position.

Okay, let's go play 1272 tomorrow and I'm going to swing as hard 1273 as I can.

How realistic is that?

1274 Nothing in your life have you ever 1275 learned like that.

Nothing, at least not 1276 productively.

So if you actually want to 1277 learn this language, I'm assuming you do, 1278 then you've got to take the steps that 1279 are required to learn.

Everybody has to 1280 go through the same stuff.

The trick is, 1281 if you go a little bit slower at the 1282 beginning and get the fundamentals down, 1283 and really, 1284 the RFC five-step stuff is five steps.

If 1285 you come through those five steps, you're 1286 going to be in the ball the best you ever 1287 have, I guarantee it.

1288 If you go really fast and you skip the 1289 boring stuff up front, which is weight 1290 shift and transition and using your core 1291 body rotation.

And you go right into 1292 whaling on the club and down, cocking and 1293 hitting the driver.

It's going to take 1294 you 10 times longer than it would if you 1295 just took a little bit of extra time and 1296 slowed down.

From beginning to learn the 1297 fundamentals and get your body moving 1298 correctly, all right, let me pick up some 1299 more questions here.

What three videos 1300 would you recommend on a site after this 1301 webinar on the topic of Transition The 1302 Five-step series, the RC five-step stuff, 1303 is really the stuff that's going to make 1304 us the quickest way to learn it.

1305 Everybody wants to learn stuff fast.

Now, 1306 I've got a lot of videos on weight shift 1307 and transition, so if you just Google or 1308 search on the website for transition, 1309 it'll pop up.

But I really recommend for 1310 the average guy who's really willing to 1311 improve and get as good as they can, as 1312 quickly as they can, they go through the 1313 five-step stuff because it doesn't bog 1314 you down in all the details.

1315 You know, spend the rest of your life, 1316 and many people do, you know, chasing, 1317 getting the club just perfect here and 1318 just perfect there.

And it doesn't really 1319 make that big of a difference, you know, 1320 if you're trying to just go out and play 1321 really good golf and become a really good 1322 ball striker?

Focus on just the core of 1323 the five-step stuff get set up correctly, 1324 rotate correctly, use your body 1325 correctly, learn how to use the lead 1326 side, Learn how to take this right arm 1327 out of the picture in the sequence that I 1328 stacked it on in that five-step video, 1329 five-step series.

And that's really the 1330 core of it.

And then once you do that, 1331 you'll be so happy with your swing.

1332 You'll want to go back and look at other 1333 details.

I don't want to correct this, or 1334 I want to predispose myself to a draw or 1335 a fade, or whatever it may be.

But the 1336 five-step stuff is really the, I mean, 1337 that's honestly, it's 21 years of work.

1338 of me teaching.

I gave my first lesson 1339 when I was 19, so 21 years of trying to 1340 figure out how to make people improve as 1341 fast as genuinely possible, and in doing 1342 that, still giving them the real core, 1343 the guts of what's really, you know, I'm 1344 not a tips teacher.

I hate golf tips.

I'm 1345 all about teaching fundamentals based on 1346 science and fact, and that is what that 1347 five-step stuff has boiled.

Everything 1348 I've done playing competitive golf for 26 1349 years is what that's all about, and I 1350 can't make it any simpler than that, 1351 really, so.

That would be my video 1352 recommendation for you guys.

1353 Your clinics are always in Orlando.

You 1354 go elsewhere ever.

I did one in 1355 California last year.

1356 I'm pretty much going to do them just in 1357 Florida this year for a bunch of 1358 different reasons.

So I pretty much am 1359 just doing them here.

A lot of it has to 1360 do with the dreaded tax man, and 1361 everybody who wanted his pay state income 1362 tax made you a clinic somewhere else.

So 1363 a whole other set of issues there.

But 1364 while we're in the process of learning 1365 five-step, 1366 and we go play around.

It can be 1367 confusing because we haven't agreed with 1368 five-step yet, and it'll have us kicking 1369 the course advice.

Yes, Jaleel, it's a 1370 great question.

So here is the key with 1371 this stuff.

I want you to go out and 1372 play.

Golf is all about having fun.

It's 1373 not about just doing tons and tons and 1374 tons of work and drills.

That's part of 1375 it.

It's what's necessary for you to 1376 learn something that's very complex and 1377 very intricate, and requires a tremendous 1378 amount of precision, which is what golf 1379 does.

You have to be able to get the golf 1380 ball square on the club base with a 1381 square path.

And there's just so many 1382 variables that go into it.

So if you're 1383 going to go out and play while you're 1384 practicing, here's what I recommend.

1385 Focus on one or two things and come hell 1386 or high water, you focus on that for all 1387 18 holes.

No matter what happens, You 1388 accept the consequences that if you're 1389 going to go out and play while you're 1390 trying to work on something in 1391 transition.

1392 that you may hit some goofy shots that 1393 you've never hit before.

You'll also hit 1394 some great shots that you've never hit 1395 before, but it'll be up and down 1396 depending on the number of reps you've 1397 got in, where your brain's at, and what 1398 your focus level and commitment is to 1399 what it is you're working on.

But nobody, 1400 now Tiger Woods, as he's proven very 1401 well, can focus on swing stuff and go out 1402 and play great golf.

It's just too 1403 difficult.

Your brain has so many things 1404 it's trying to joke.

So if you're going 1405 to go out and play, pick up a sleeve of 1406 the pinnacles, 1407 Go out and just don't worry about what 1408 the ball's going.

And, most importantly, 1409 don't use the ball flight as your judge 1410 of whether or not you did the movement 1411 correctly.

Because there's a million 1412 things that alter ball flight, and 1413 honestly, fixing ball flight is the 1414 easiest thing in the world.

That any 1415 competent instructor can go and 1416 manipulate one way or another and change 1417 ball flight, right?

So if you're trying 1418 to really fix fundamentals, what you 1419 judge your success on is not what the 1420 ball did.

But did you do the movement 1421 correctly?

How do I know if I did the 1422 movement correctly?

By now, If you're 1423 going to go out and try and take 1424 something you're doing inside in front of 1425 a mirror and do it on the course, you 1426 better know what it feels like when you 1427 do it correctly.

Or you've got no 1428 business being out there trying to do it, 1429 right?

You can't feel what's doing, what 1430 you're doing on the course.

You can't see 1431 it.

So you have to do enough reps to be 1432 like, okay, I'm going to work on just 1433 this one move.

And make it really simple 1434 when you're going out to play.

So I'm 1435 going to say, I'm just going to try and 1436 do my little squat transition.

And so 1437 I'll do before every shot that I hit.

1438 I'll do a couple little drills to feel 1439 that before each ball and then go and hit 1440 it, and if I hit a bad shot, it's okay.

1441 My marker of success is whether or not I 1442 feel like I did the movement correctly.

1443 And, of course, nowadays you can just 1444 stick your camera out there in the video 1445 and see if you did it right or not.

So, 1446 uh, let's see what is the main cause for 1447 the right shoulder dropping and causing 1448 the pull shot pushing from the right leg?

1449 Let's see.

I'm hitting over 30 yards 1450 further.

Thank you.

That was quick, Dave.

1451 It only took us 50 minutes.

That's great.

1452 I've developed a pull with the irons, 1453 especially when I pull the club into the 1454 ball with the left arm.

1455 If you're pulling it, there's a couple 1456 things that are going on.

Let's just 1457 assume some certain things here.

Let's 1458 assume that you're transitioning 1459 correctly, right?

I have to make an 1460 assumption.

You may not be, and that 1461 could be causing the shock that's going 1462 on.

But if you're pulling it with the 1463 club, 1464 I would look at, there's so many things 1465 that could go wrong here.

You can be over 1466 -rotating wrist by trying to actively do 1467 it.

And since you mentioned pulling with 1468 your left arm, that's probably where I 1469 would go with it.

That pulling motion is 1470 really subtle.

It's not like you're 1471 trying to work your arm down.

The arm is 1472 getting pulled down by your transition.

1473 But the point is, this left arm has to be 1474 guiding the club and impact, but it's not 1475 a very active pull.

It should be pretty 1476 relaxed, relatively.

1477 Because the majority of the work is being 1478 done by your trunk.

Okay, so as you start 1479 down, your left arm is really just kind 1480 of guiding the club.

Don't think about 1481 ripping it down.

Because if you create a 1482 lot of tension, you may start over 1483 releasing the club and do a bunch of 1484 other goofy things.

So that would be my 1485 guess there, all right.

So I'm because 1486 there's 200 people here trying to ask 1487 questions.

So I'm doing my best to get to 1488 all of them, but I'm definitely going to 1489 miss a bunch.

Uh, okay.

1490 Does the shoulder glide, bring along and 1491 activate the rest of the torso and the 1492 legs in the backswing?

1493 Shoulder glide bring along and activate 1494 the rest of the torso.

Ah, good question.

1495 Rob.

So, Rob's question, let me read it 1496 out loud because you guys can't see it 1497 there.

Does the shoulder glide, bring 1498 along and activate the rest of the torso 1499 and the legs in the backswing?

Yes and 1500 1501 The first thing is, 1502 read it.

In the real world, where I'm 1503 talking about pulling this right shoulder 1504 blade back, it's helping initiate a 1505 centered rotation.

But it's not the only 1506 thing that's moving really.

You're moving 1507 from your core and your obliques and your 1508 trunk, and that includes moving from your 1509 lower body a little bit.

During the 1510 beginning, it's not just the shoulder 1511 blade.

I try to focus on that to make it 1512 really, really simple and to make sure 1513 that people learn how to pull instead of 1514 push during the back swing.

Because of 1515 all the problems that creates.

So if you 1516 focus on that while also feeling that 1517 you're using your legs to help you turn a 1518 little bit, it'll help you activate them 1519 early so it's easier to get them 1520 activated in the downswing.

So hopefully 1521 that answers that question.

1522 Simple, quick.

1523 How does posting an altered spine angle?

1524 Ah, good question.

1525 It happens in 3D space.

It's hard to 1526 describe in like one angle here.

So I'll 1527 do my best to quickly explain it.

I think 1528 it's more of an impact thing, so I'm 1529 going to go through it quickly because, 1530 again, I'm going to try to keep this 1531 stuff transition-oriented.

But as you're 1532 posting up and your chest is staying 1533 down, my spine is actually going to have 1534 some curvature in it.

So when you look at 1535 it from this side, it's actually got what 1536 we call side bend.

And that's how I keep 1537 – here's a great way of thinking about 1538 1539 I had an old coach many, many years ago 1540 when I was still playing confessions.

He 1541 gave me this analogy, so I'm going to 1542 borrow from him.

He told me to feel like 1543 I had a string tied to my shirt here on 1544 the ground, and that string could never 1545 change.

Obviously, it couldn't go up this 1546 way, and I didn't want to go down.

So I 1547 want to keep the string taut the whole 1548 time.

Now, it's over-exaggeration.

It's 1549 not realistic.

But it'll help you feel, 1550 especially during this transition phase, 1551 instead of popping up like this where the 1552 string would break or going down way too 1553 far, if you imagine keeping that string 1554 at constant tension, It's kind of a good, 1555 simple way of thinking about as long as 1556 you move your body correctly, It'll help 1557 your spine move through the right 1558 sequence of movements without having to 1559 get too complicated with it.

1560 Does the body rotation slow or stop at 1561 any point to allow the pelvic release, or 1562 are you rotating at a constant speed?

1563 It's as slow to the point of almost 1564 stopping.

That's how you release it.

Your 1565 body must post up, and this posting up 1566 motion decelerates the hips, which allows 1567 all the energy to transfer out the chain.

1568 So absolutely, your hips have got to 1569 almost come to a stop or come to a stop.

1570 And if you look at some golfers, even if 1571 you look at Roy McIlroy as an example, 1572 his hips actually go backwards as he's 1573 releasing the club.

So yes, absolutely.

1574 The last thing I'm going to do is just 1575 keep turning your hips to the hitting 1576 area.

You've got to post up.

1577 Okay.

1578 Does the navel move at the start of the 1579 backswing?

1580 Yeah, it does.

1581 What can I do to prevent fading the ball 1582 during transition?

There's like 50,000 1583 things that could cause a fade, so that 1584 would be a lot of difficult stuff there.

1585 Jack, 1586 I have a question sent earlier before you 1587 start.

Yes, I did have.

1588 A lot of questions and posts in there.

So 1589 I didn't know it was our first one here.

1590 So I appreciate you guys hanging in here 1591 with me, but I would love to get your 1592 feedback on this.

So please feel free to 1593 post them in here and I'll definitely try 1594 to go back and read them.

I do want to 1595 give you guys one more offer.

1596 So thanks for hanging in there with me.

I 1597 want to give you one special deal that we 1598 have just for hanging in here for me and 1599 being patient.

1600 that if you guys are interested in 1601 joining the site and trying it out, 1602 learning a little bit more about RST, 1603 there's an offer on it now that you 1604 should see on your screen for a buck.

If 1605 you can't swing a buck to try rotary 1606 swing out, 1607 I don't know what to do.

If you don't 1608 like it, I'll give you your whole dollar 1609 back, I promise.

But for three days, go 1610 and watch all the videos this weekend.

Go 1611 and gorge on rotary spending for the next 1612 three days and see what you like.

You'll 1613 see that everything that we do is based 1614 on a tremendous amount of work.

1615 that I've put into studying the swing, 1616 that my team has put into studying the 1617 swing, and understanding the biomechanics 1618 and physics and anatomy of it.

And for a 1619 dollar, it's pretty much tough to beat.

1620 So please feel free to take advantage of 1621 that.

It's a limited deal.

I think 1622 there's 100 offers on there, and there's 1623 only 25 of them, and they're available 1624 for the next hour.

So anyway, hopefully 1625 you guys found this productive.

And like 1626 I said, if you have any other comments or 1627 things, please post them in here.

I'll 1628 leave this open for a little bit so I 1629 can.

Keep gathering all your questions 1630 and questions in the chat stuff, and I'll 1631 go back through and read them.

So I've 1632 got homework tonight.

And in the 1633 meantime, if you guys have any last 1634 questions, I'll try and give them to them 1635 really quick.

We've got a few minutes 1636 left before we've got to close down here.

1637 Robert, you're welcome.

1638 Anything else?

1639 Nothing else?

You're welcome, guys.

I 1640 appreciate it.

Thanks for coming in.

1641 Do you subscribe to the Tube Sheets 1642 Theory?

No.

1643 Simple answer.

1644 If you're going to get your hips not 1645 open, you're going to push the reward off 1646 the right side.

What about training over 1647 the winter?

There's a whole winter series 1648 on the site.

It's literally called the 1649 Winter Golf Training Program.

So that 1650 would be a good dollar investment for 1651 you, Brian.

1652 Focus on doing the stuff that's in there.

1653 You can do all of this stuff on the site.

1654 All of the RST 5-step, all of the videos, 1655 all the winter golf training stuff is 1656 meant to be indoors.

You don't have to be 1657 hitting balls.

In fact, I don't want you 1658 hitting balls most of the time until you 1659 get enough reps in there.

So please 1660 understand that.

That is really the core 1661 essence of what Rotor Spin is about, is 1662 teaching how to move your body correctly, 1663 which will, in result, move the club 1664 correctly.

1665 Anything else?

You're welcome, guys.

1666 Thanks for reaching out.

Appreciate it.

1667 You're welcome, thank you.

1668 Are you posting this anywhere for review?

1669 Yes, there should be a link sent out 1670 afterwards that will allow you to watch 1671 this webinar again.

If not, I will have a 1672 copy of it and I'll email it out to you 1673 guys next week.

So if you missed 1674 anything, 1675 I know I missed a bunch of stuff, so I 1676 will do my best to try and get back to 1677 some of these questions.

1678 So you guys are welcome.

Appreciate it.

1679 Thanks for saying thank you.

1680 Anything else out there?

1681 Tell them about the swing analysis.

1682 Yes, thank you guys.

1683 The swing analysis, you know, you can 1684 purchase them individually.

They're nine 1685 bucks each.

The cheapest golf lesson 1686 you're ever going to get, I promise.

And 1687 these guys are all certified, trained RST 1688 pros.

You don't have to be a premium 1689 member anymore now.

So you can just, as a 1690 free member of the site, you can go and 1691 buy.

A swing review for nine bucks and 1692 you get somebody to review your swing.

1693 there's a certified RST instructor for 1694 nine bucks.

Is it no rare?

Uh, yes, I'm 1695 going to try and post this later for you 1696 guys to review.

Will Club offer come back 1697 on screen?

Uh, you should see a tab on 1698 the right hand side of your webinar 1699 screen.

It says, offers.

I believe, Um, 1700 you guys see 1701 all the offers, let me see if they're 1702 both on there.

No, okay, so, uh, for 1703 those of you, the the link to the if you 1704 go to the store, so go to the website, go 1705 to rotary slim.

com And on the top, click 1706 Golf Training Aids and in there you'll 1707 see the UH, once you go to Golf Training 1708 Age.

You'll see the G-Force wedge in 1709 there, and you'll be able to order it at 1710 that price, uh, for for the next hour.

So 1711 Is there anything you teach us that 1712 conflicts with Ben Hogan?

A lot, 1713 probably.

1714 That's a whole other video series.

We'll 1715 do that one later.

1716 Tom, you're welcome.

1717 Oscar, you're welcome.

1718 Let's see.

1719 All right, guys.

So I'll leave this 1720 running up here for a little bit more, so 1721 you can get the offers that are on here 1722 if you want.

1723 If you guys hopefully can leave any other 1724 feedback for us and we'll talk to you 1725 guys again soon.

Thanks so much.
