WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.559 --> 00:00:03.060 Does this look like your takeaway? 2 00:00:03.740 --> 00:00:06.000 This is a death move in the golf swing 3 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.259 and it's always caused by the same thing 4 00:00:08.259 --> 00:00:10.039 we just talked about, pushing versus 5 00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:12.640 pulling. During the takeaway, most 6 00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:14.539 golfers who struggle with this move and 7 00:00:14.539 --> 00:00:15.960 getting the club go inside, they also 8 00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:17.579 tend to have their head move off the ball 9 00:00:17.579 --> 00:00:20.559 and it's all caused by pushing from the 10 00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:23.079 left side during the backswing. If I take 11 00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:25.460 my left side and push my left arm across 12 00:00:25.460 --> 00:00:28.679 my chest, the club goes inside, my head 13 00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:30.640 moves off the ball and now I've got a 14 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:31.920 takeaway that I've got to try and work 15 00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:34.219 really hard to recover from. It's very 16 00:00:34.219 --> 00:00:35.899 difficult to play consistent golf from 17 00:00:35.899 --> 00:00:36.399 back there. 18 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:39.500 But what would happen instead of pushing 19 00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:42.460 if I pulled? Now what side do I have to 20 00:00:42.460 --> 00:00:43.600 pull with? Well, of course during the 21 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.299 backswing, it's only the right side. So 22 00:00:46.299 --> 00:00:48.520 as I take my right side and I take my 23 00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.179 right shoulder and pull it back behind my 24 00:00:51.179 --> 00:00:54.240 head and don't move my arms at all, look 25 00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:55.780 what happens to the club. Hey, it's a 26 00:00:55.780 --> 00:00:58.020 perfect takeaway. I didn't do anything 27 00:00:58.020 --> 00:01:02.100 other than move my shoulder blade that 28 00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:02.399 far. 29 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.040 You can worry about trying to move the 30 00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.239 club six, eight feet back behind you at 31 00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:09.019 full speed. You can't see what's going 32 00:01:09.019 --> 00:01:10.379 on. You're worried about hitting the ball 33 00:01:10.379 --> 00:01:13.540 and try to be consistent that way. Or you 34 00:01:13.540 --> 00:01:16.340 can learn to move two inches and that 35 00:01:16.340 --> 00:01:18.359 will move the club six to eight feet 36 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:20.579 without you doing anything. Which do you 37 00:01:20.579 --> 00:01:21.739 think you're going to be more consistent 38 00:01:21.739 --> 00:01:24.659 with moving two inches or moving the club 39 00:01:24.659 --> 00:01:26.700 six or eight feet? Well, of course, the 40 00:01:26.700 --> 00:01:27.939 answer is learning how to move two 41 00:01:27.939 --> 00:01:30.280 inches. The whole secret to rotary swing, 42 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:32.040 apart from this concept of pushing versus 43 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.340 pulling, is learning how to move from the 44 00:01:34.340 --> 00:01:37.019 inside out. Your body dictates what that 45 00:01:37.019 --> 00:01:38.659 club is going to do. Your brain and your 46 00:01:38.659 --> 00:01:40.840 muscles move that golf club. And so what 47 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:42.400 you should focus on is the stuff that's 48 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.459 moving on the inside first. And that, 49 00:01:44.819 --> 00:01:46.519 during the takeaway, all you need to 50 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:48.920 focus on is two inches of shoulder blade 51 00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:50.540 movement. You're going to take your right 52 00:01:50.540 --> 00:01:52.140 shoulder blade and pull it in towards 53 00:01:52.140 --> 00:01:54.900 your spine a couple inches. And look at 54 00:01:54.900 --> 00:01:56.519 how much I'm turning. I'm moving my 55 00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:58.819 shoulder blade two inches. That moves my 56 00:01:58.819 --> 00:02:01.579 shoulder six to eight inches. That moves 57 00:02:01.579 --> 00:02:04.140 my hands a couple of feet, which in turn 58 00:02:04.140 --> 00:02:06.140 moves the club eight feet. 59 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.419 I'm moving two inches. The club goes 60 00:02:08.419 --> 00:02:10.520 eight feet, which is going to be a better 61 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.300 payoff. Obviously all I want to do is 62 00:02:13.300 --> 00:02:14.939 learn how to move as little as humanly 63 00:02:14.939 --> 00:02:16.680 possible. And that's exactly what rotary 64 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.740 swing does. We teach you how to move the 65 00:02:18.740 --> 00:02:21.240 smallest moving parts humanly possible, 66 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.379 the most efficient way to move to get 67 00:02:23.379 --> 00:02:25.120 that club to go where you want. And we 68 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:26.960 simplify the swing dramatically. So all 69 00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:28.319 you need to do to worry about getting a 70 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.340 perfect takeaway, two inches of shoulder 71 00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:31.659 blade movement, which you'll learn more 72 00:02:31.659 --> 00:02:33.479 as you enroll the rotary swing. But 73 00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:34.960 first, I want to show you a quick preview 74 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:36.919 of another video that talks more about 75 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:38.599 this. And illustrates how much the head 76 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:40.620 tends to move when you start pushing 77 00:02:40.620 --> 00:02:41.400 instead of pulling. 78 00:02:47.980 --> 00:02:49.759 If you recall in the very first video of 79 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.020 this series, I talked about the concept, 80 00:02:52.180 --> 00:02:53.759 the physics concept of pushing versus 81 00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:55.659 pulling and how all movement is a push or 82 00:02:55.659 --> 00:02:56.000 a pull. 83 00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.599 When it comes to the golf swing, as we've 84 00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:00.199 gone through this video series, it's a 85 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.120 critical concept that you understand 86 00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:03.939 pushing versus pulling. And that applies 87 00:03:03.939 --> 00:03:05.900 right for the first foot that you move 88 00:03:05.900 --> 00:03:07.639 the club off the ball. And we're going to 89 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:09.759 talk about the takeaway with that. So I 90 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:11.120 have my assistant here, Chris, and I'm 91 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:12.379 going to have him hold this club against 92 00:03:12.379 --> 00:03:14.620 his shoulders. And I'm going to have him 93 00:03:14.620 --> 00:03:16.759 just stand there without doing anything. 94 00:03:16.819 --> 00:03:18.199 And I'm going to move him around. I'm 95 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.039 going to be his force of movement, as we 96 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:21.900 talked about in the first video. So the 97 00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:23.159 first thing I'm going to do is I'm going 98 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.840 to push him from either side. So as I 99 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:29.219 push him, oh, don't fall too far off. I'm 100 00:03:29.219 --> 00:03:31.259 going to push him off here. And I'm going 101 00:03:31.259 --> 00:03:33.099 to push him from this side. And you're 102 00:03:33.099 --> 00:03:35.659 going to notice that his head is going to 103 00:03:35.659 --> 00:03:37.599 tend to want to move around. Now watch 104 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.259 what happens when I pull from the other 105 00:03:40.259 --> 00:03:42.259 side. Now, when I pull, notice how his 106 00:03:42.259 --> 00:03:42.620 head 107 00:03:43.139 --> 00:03:45.860 stays really centered and he's not moving 108 00:03:45.860 --> 00:03:48.900 around much at all. This concept is 109 00:03:48.900 --> 00:03:52.400 critical because as I pull, I'm towing, 110 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.599 I'm beginning to move towards center 111 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.379 toward a fixed point. Now, when you push 112 00:03:56.379 --> 00:03:59.219 something, where does it move? A push can 113 00:03:59.219 --> 00:04:01.759 move in any direction away from center. 114 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:03.719 It's always moving away from the force of 115 00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:05.819 movement and a pulling motion is moving 116 00:04:05.819 --> 00:04:07.419 toward the force of movement. So if you 117 00:04:07.419 --> 00:04:09.360 remember my little toy truck, I had at 118 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:10.800 the very beginning of the first video, 119 00:04:11.060 --> 00:04:13.919 that concept is applicable here in the 120 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.579 takeaway. If I get Chris to pull, pull 121 00:04:16.579 --> 00:04:19.339 his right shoulder back and in towards 122 00:04:19.339 --> 00:04:21.779 his spine, it's going to get the club to 123 00:04:21.779 --> 00:04:23.980 move out away in the right direction in 124 00:04:23.980 --> 00:04:25.600 the right spot every single time. So 125 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:26.579 Chris, go ahead and get in a setup 126 00:04:26.579 --> 00:04:27.240 position here. 127 00:04:29.060 --> 00:04:30.860 And all I want you to do is focus on 128 00:04:30.860 --> 00:04:32.639 taking that right shoulder back and 129 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.160 pulling it back as you take the club 130 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.300 back. So notice as he does that, the club 131 00:04:36.300 --> 00:04:37.560 goes right into the right spot. Now, 132 00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:39.959 let's turn down the line and let's do the 133 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:40.579 same thing. 134 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:42.839 And again, I don't want you to do 135 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:44.379 anything, but just focus on pulling your 136 00:04:44.379 --> 00:04:45.920 right shoulder back as you take the club 137 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.139 back. And as he does that, and let's just 138 00:04:48.139 --> 00:04:49.399 keep doing this back and forward, just 139 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:50.920 focus on pulling the right shoulder back, 140 00:04:51.139 --> 00:04:53.040 not moving his arms or club or hands or 141 00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:54.180 anything at all. He's just moving his 142 00:04:54.180 --> 00:04:56.240 right shoulder. The club goes into the 143 00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:57.519 exact same spot. Thank you. 144 00:04:58.040 --> 00:04:58.899 Every single time. 145 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.779 This is a critical concept. If you want 146 00:05:01.779 --> 00:05:04.000 to stay centered in your takeaway and get 147 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:05.639 the club to go in the same spot every 148 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:07.720 time, all you really need to understand 149 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:09.740 is again, this concept of pushing versus 150 00:05:09.740 --> 00:05:10.079 pulling.
