Do you know the 4 steps to sequencing the golf downswing? If you don't know these and aren't implementing them in your swing, you'll always struggle to be consistent and tap into your full distance potential. Learn to sequence, get more effortless power - it's that simple!


How are you? Well, good morning to you.

Where are you this morning? I am in San Diego in my garage.

All right.

It's a little earlier there even than here.

Yeah.

My future son-in -law set me up.

He's a six handicap and he didn't even bring me coffee.

I'm not a six.

I'm not a six.

Awesome.

Not a computer person, but I'm over the moon to do this.

Oh, super cool.

I'm excited.

What can I do to help you? Okay.

Well, I've been playing a long time and I've been with you about three years.

Am I talking too loud? No, I can hear you.

Great.

Okay.

And I'm working with Chris who's doing a really good job.

We're now at a point where he says my shoulder plane is off and the transition.

And so I looked at a video you have of Tiger Woods on one side and skip Kendall on one.

Sure.

And that seems to help, but anatomically, I can't figure out how to do it.

Okay.

And I'm getting really stuck on my release and there is no release.

So yesterday plane, I thought, well, I'll just pause a little bit and let everything get done before I do the hands, but there's no power.

And I know I still should be, have a strong left arm somewhere in there.

Sure.

Sure.

Okay.

Well, It sounds like, typically, when stuff like that's happened.

And the arms are a little out of whack with what the body's doing.

And the timing and sequencing of the body movements is usually a little out of, out of whack.

And so there's a very specific sequence that we need to go through to get your body to move correctly.

And once you have that, then the arms start releasing properly on their own.

But if we don't have that sequence and even if the, if two pieces are reversed, there's really just four steps.

It just comes down to your hips first, your thorax or your rib cage second, your arm hands last, and then the club.

And if that sequence happens, then, then everything that you're struggling with goes away.

But there are a million and one ways to throw that sequence off.

And even just by the slightest amount, not by, you know, even if you don't decelerate your hips at the right time, or you accelerate your hands too soon, all of a sudden you kind of feel like you're chasing the golf club and you're swinging harder, but you don't have any more power.

And so that's super, super common.

So really it just comes down to typically something is out of those four steps is off.

And if we get those four steps to happen in sequence, then everything falls back into place.

So, And a lot of times we're doing something in our backswing, or even our takeaway, or even our setup.

That makes it impossible for those four things to happen in the right sequence.

But when you think of it that way, that's really your priority as a golfer is how do I get these four steps to stack up and do the same thing every single time? And when you do that, then golf becomes relatively easy from a ball striking perspective.

But when the slightest piece is out of sequence and it's typically the arms and hands going too soon, then everything can feel like a mess.

And it does, it's impossible to play that way.

So what I'd love to do is have you make a couple swings.

I want to video them.

I want to walk you through it.

We'll, we'll talk through that sequence and see what kind of, you know, what's out of line or what's going on there.

And then we'll get a plan to fix it.

Sounds like a plan.

Perfect.

All right.

Let me get my stuff set up to record here.

So you go ahead and get ready.

Perfect.

One more for me.

Okay.

And let's do one down the line as if you're going to hit out there towards the, the shed back there, the shelves there.

Perfect.

All right.

You got a great swing.

You got a lot of great stuff going on.

I know it can be frustrating to hear that you got a very pretty swing and it doesn't produce the results you're looking for.

Yes, you're still right.

I heard it for many, many years growing up and I got sick of hearing how great it was.

And I still shot 75.

It doesn't make me feel better.

So setup looks really, really good.

Uh, you know, perhaps that ball position where you're simulating here would be a little bit far forward for you.

Oh, far forward.

Yeah.

So if you, your head's a little, are you right eye dominant or do you know? I'm left hand.

I'm left handed.

Oh, you're left handed.

No kidding.

Okay.

Interesting.

Um, so your head is clocked a little bit looking forward.

If you, if you kind of imagined in relationship to your feet, your, your head is looking 10 degrees forward, which is because the ball is up here, or at least you're simulating where the ball would be.

If your head was actually back straight and neutral, that would move the ball back a couple inches and put the ball back off the left side of your head.

So this can lead to wipes and shots off the toe and hooks and all kinds of stuff when the ball's up there.

But, um, it's a, it's a minor, minor thing that we would want to tweak here.

The bigger stuff that I noticed right away is in your lower body.

So this goes back to that sequencing that I was just talking about.

So watch your hip here.

So I'm going to put my mouse cursor on your hip.

Yeah.

Actually, we're going to use the, uh, ladder, the ladder there in the background.

Yeah.

So watch how far your hip moves during the backswing.

Holy moly.

So now you're starting to reverse pivot here, right? Yeah.

Okay.

So now the, The shoulders haven't quite turned, and the hips haven't quite turned because they've slid.

And your hips will typically do one of two things more than the other.

They will rotate or they will move laterally, but they typically don't do those in equal amounts.

One tends to dominate the other when we make a mistake.

In your case, you're ha you're, you have a big hip lateral movement.

And so because of that, you don't have the rotation that you need.

And because you don't have rotation that you need, your left hip doesn't get down.

It doesn't get steep enough, which makes your shoulder turn flat, which makes you lift your arms up, which makes you load your arms, which makes the whole sequence fall apart.

Does that make sense? Yeah, I got it.

So this one tiny little thing of this hip slide makes it impossible, virtually impossible to sequence everything correctly.

So, so that's what's cool about is it's just really one simple little thing, but it impacts so much.

Now you do a wonderful job shifting back to the left, very athletic move, left legs, not getting posted up here.

That's a big loss of power right there.

So when that left knee is still bent like this, that left glute is not engaging.

So you're not getting any force from the ground to release your arms.

So what tends to happen is people turn their shoulders a lot through the shot to try and produce power.

And then with the further up ball position, that's going to lead to all kinds of misses.

But you notice how your shoulders keep turning and your arms are still a little bit stuck, which you mentioned that Skip Kendall video, right? Yeah, yeah.

So that's what's going on there.

So this is, this is all stuff that we can totally fix and get jamming on it today.

So, so don't worry about this stuff, but we need to recognize what's going on.

From down the line, setup looks pretty good.

Club going a little inside.

Yeah.

All right.

So the arms are getting a little deep here, but if they didn't, you'd feel even less power.

So that's part of the issue.

Again, you do a really great job getting your hips going back as best you can from where you put them in the backswing.

Here you can see that little Skip Kendall position where the right elbow is trapped behind the hip.

Yeah.

And this is because your arms were a little deep at the top and then you're not getting the sequencing right in the downswing.

So let's talk about this for a second.

But when you move laterally, like you are this big lateral move, and I'll use this chair here as a reference.

When you do this, your hip, your hip line tends to stay kind of flattish your hips, because your pelvis is tilted forward, right? And my belt line is tilted forward during the backswing.

My left hip has to go down.

Okay.

So, so go back.

You can see that my belt lines kind of pointed toward the ground a little bit.

And when you turn a little bit flat, because you're moving laterally, this left leg isn't, it doesn't know what to do in the transition.

And that's why your left leg is not getting posted up.

So what I want you to understand is think about it this way.

One of the most important parts of the golf swing and a piece that's missing for you, and you can forget about all swing plane and all this other stuff.

If you just got these pieces, right, things start to work.

And that is you have to be able to post up and decelerate during the downswing.

And that's all done by this left butt cheek, this left glute.

If that doesn't happen, then you'll start trying to turn your shoulders to get power.

You'll start trying to fire your arms to get power.

And then the more you start doing that, the more your arms will start swinging deeper during the backswing, because you're just trying to give yourself more effort, more, more room and more muscle load to fire your arms.

So then you kind of start falling into this vicious cycle, when really the fix is to fix what your left hip is doing.

Because if this doesn't decelerate and post up at impact, then you keep doing the same thing with your arms and shoulders.

Because this is your primary way I want you to think about producing power.

So as you come down in the backswing, instead of doing this, I want you to exaggerate for a second that you're going to get this left hip steeper.

And this left leg somewhat loaded up so that during the downswing, it can post up.

And that is critical to get your hips to stop rotating so fast, they have to decelerate.

And so as they stop, and this goes up, that's what helps the club release down and gives you time to get your arms back out in front of your body.

But if you don't use your legs, and your legs are kind of lazy in the downswing, and yours are doing as good of a job as they can from where they are in the backswing.

But if they don't work, then you'll always try and rotate your chest through the ball, because the only power source you've got, so you'll sense that like, gosh, I don't have anything else, I have to do something.

So you start turning your shoulders.

And that's why your arm is getting stuck.

So we have to replace this upper body rotation power source with our lower body power source.

But we can't do it when we're doing this in the backswing.

So what I'm going to have you practice at first is just something, we're going to take all this other stuff out of the swing for a second.

And I'm going to have you practice, first of all, rotating, going back and getting your belt line to tilt, so that you get more knee flex in the left knee, so that you then begin to rotate and drive up and push up off that left glute.

Does that make sense? Yes, it does.

Yes, it's going to be the first and only thing I'm going to have you do right now, because we've got to get that sequence to work.

And if the hips don't work, then the whole rest of the sequence is out of line.

So let's do that first.

All I'm going to have you do go back and you're going to focus on turning instead of sliding.

And as you do this, you're going to have more flexion in the left knee.

And then as you start to shift back to the left, I'm then going to have you drive up and back with that left leg.

Yep, just like that at first.

Okay.

Now your left knee is coming in quite a bit.

So think about your left knee moving more over the foot a little bit than coming so much toward the right knee.

There you go.

Okay, so we're getting there.

There you go.

Let me just show you that last one real quick.

And then we're going to keep refining this a little bit as we get closer to getting it where we want it to be.

All right.

So this was the very last one you just did.

And obviously, we're not doing this from a true setup position.

So we're, you know, we don't have any axis tilt here.

So technically, your hips would be a little bit more forward at address.

And then they would actually probably be right there at address.

So you would have maintained that right hip line, right? But because it's setup, you didn't have any axis tilt at address.

It looks like your hip is kind of closer to the rung, but it would actually be further forward.

So in other words, what I'm saying is, you would be maintaining that hip line during the backswing, you see how you're a lot more centered and stacked instead of having that big lateral move.

And now your left knee has hasn't buckled in so far, it's going to move in towards the right knee a little bit, but you were just doing a little bit too much.

And that lets your hips overturn.

So it's not forward, just a little bit more forward, like you did, which is great here, because then what's going to happen is it's going to make that move back to the left a lot easier.

And so now you can see your left knee is straight and posted up a little bit better.

Now I'm going to give you a little bit more specific direction on this, but this is way, way better.

And you're going to start to feel how you can use your legs for power in the swing, which right now they're not really working.

Does that make sense? Yeah, it's good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, so now let's talk.

So the backswing stuff, like I said, again, you were just set up like a little bit like this.

Once you get set up properly, then you're going to see that that right hip line is now being maintained and you're no longer reverse pivoting and sliding.

Okay.

That's the first thing we have to fix.

Cause that's a death move in the golf swing.

Because if you do that, you can't use your legs.

You can't use your legs.

You can't sequence the golf swing.

It's that simple.

So from here, so now you'll notice my left knee and from down the line, you're going to notice as I go back, it goes out kind of almost to the edge of my shoe out towards my toe here.

Right.

So that is getting me in a position to where not only is this left knee forward, but what that's going to do when you're looking at me from face on is that my belt line is going to be steeper.

I don't want to turn flat.

I want to turn so that my hips are tilted.

What this does is makes weight transfer almost automatic.

And the reason is you're kind of going downhill.

You're already kind of stacked onto this left side without reverse pivoting, like in a stack and tilt kind of move.

You're still loading the right leg, but because this knee is flexed and your belt line is steep, shift back to the left is just kind of falling downhill.

Does that make sense? Yes.

You just did it.

Yes.

Right.

So it's just kind of, it's easy to shift your weight back to the left.

But when you're shifting, what do you feel happen in your left gluten leg? Well, I feel more tension back there.

Exactly.

Right.

So that's what you're really trying to understand during the transition is it's all about recruiting muscle, right? We got to recruit muscle.

I had a hard time feeling that before when I was more, I wasn't making a change in the hip line.

If I was just turning back, I couldn't, I absolutely could not feel any burn in my butt.

Exactly.

And when you're doing, when you slide, that keeps your hips more flat during the backswing, right? Yeah.

So then this weight shift stuff doesn't make sense.

But when you get your pelvis tilted a little bit, just, and it's just tilting the way that it was at address, it's just rotating perpendicular to your spine.

But now weight shift is just falling into that left side, or as I call it, sitting into the left side.

And now once you have that, you're also starting to turn your hips just a little bit, right? They're going to go back to square.

And then you just post up on that left leg, that muscle that you've recruited, you start to straighten that leg.

So what you did a minute ago is that you did a really nice turn, but you weren't quite certain how to get back to the left.

So you kind of just started posting up.

Now I want you to think about, as you, as you're falling into this left side, you're recruiting more muscle so that you can drive up more aggressively.

Does that make sense? Okay.

Yeah.

Okay.

Nice.

Narrow up your stance just a tiny bit.

Yeah, that's perfect.

And let's do it from a setup where you have axis tilt.

Yeah, there you go.

Okay.

You're still letting your hips slide to the right, believe it or not.

Yep.

Even that.

There you go.

Wow.

That's a little bit of reverse pivot, but we can fix that in just a moment.

All right.

Let's take a look at that so you can see it.

It's just a little couple little corrections that we need to make.

So that right there is pretty close.

It's a little bit of extralateral movement.

You can see that your hip would have to go quite a ways to get back into neutral, a little bit more than we want to ask of it.

The hip's going to move four or five inches, but you start getting six or seven.

That's quite a bit to make during the downswing.

It just happens.

You mean laterally, Chuck? Laterally, exactly.

Because you're just moving a little bit too far during the backswing.

Got it.

Okay.

Oh.

You can kind of see that there.

Okay.

Right? So you see the ladder rung.

We can kind of still see half of it.

But then as you go back, you can see how we move out past it, right? So then going back that way, if I didn't shift it so far, that would be easier to go back the other way, right? A hundred percent.

Exactly.

You're making it a little bit harder, and then we just got that much further we have to go.

So we just want to tighten that up a little bit.

You can see you make a great move back to the left now, but it's just a lot of movement.

So that's why I narrowed your stance just a hair, but you're still letting that hip slide out just a little bit.

On the takeaway.

On the takeaway.

Exactly.

It's just a little bit too much.

And then as we started going back here, now you started to reverse pivot just a little bit, but that's more just your arm stuff.

We're going to do this drill more with your arms across your shoulders because you're still used to having to pick your arms up.

To try and get some load in your arms to feel some power.

And so that's why you're going to reverse pivot here just a little bit, but we'll fix that.

That's pretty easy to fix.

The big thing is we want to see if the trunk is starting to wake up, if it's starting to work correctly.

And the biggest issue we have here is we're still starting.

There you turned pretty well.

Your lower body looks great.

Upper body is just a little bit off, but let's see how you shifted back to the left.

There you go.

All right.

There's you making a really nice shift back to left, even though we've still let that hip slide too far to the right.

This is where that necktie drill on the site comes in really handy.

I have a really, I have a really quirky neck though.

I mean, I'm really limited at times like you are sort of like it kind of has to move a little bit.

Totally.

Okay.

It's not the neck that's causing this.

It's that you're letting your hips, when you let your pelvis slide to the right, that tilts your spine toward the target a little bit.

And then if you try and pick your arms up on top of it, you're really tilting your shoulders instead of letting your shoulders turn.

So it's not so much your neck.

In fact, this will actually be easier on your neck because when you're doing this, you're kinking your whole spine and curving it and adding side bend.

And so that actually puts a little bit more stress on your spine.

So all you need to do here is one, we need a chair or something, you know, kind of hip height so that you, you don't keep bumping into it.

You are going to make a lateral shift during the back swing, but you're going to do it also in turn.

You're just doing too much of this, right? Okay.

And then from here with our arms across our chest, we want to practice that feeling of that neck top hanging down instead of draping across our belly.

Does that make sense? Yes.

So do you have anything we could put up against your hip or not? If not, it's no big deal.

Just do it on video.

But if you have a chair or something that we could throw up there, small child.

Ah, perfect.

Uh, other hip though.

Oh, that.

There we go.

So just fine.

Just use it as a reference, right? Just to give you something so that you don't move too far to the right, like a head cover sitting up against there.

It'd be fine.

Oh, that's not going to work.

Okay.

I'll just do it in my head.

Okay.

Okay.

this has got to go back.

Yeah, exactly.

Let your hips turn during the back swing.

And then they still go over though.

Okay.

Over.

That's two, that's two inches too far.

So you're going to feel like you're just rotating your hips.

You're going to feel right now.

There you go.

Wow.

Yes.

Yes.

Seriously.

Now let's do this from a set up, like a normal set up position, but your arms across your chest.

All right.

So now just show me your hips turning during the back swing.

Bingo.

I've never felt that.

You've never felt a good coil in the back swing then.

All right.

So check this out.

You're going to see a huge difference.

Wow.

All right.

So we'll use the ladder in the background there again.

Right where you started.

Wow.

Now you can see that your left hip hasn't moved so far to the right.

So it's more over the foot already.

So for you to sit and load that left glute, you're already there.

You just need to fall into that left side.

You can see you're almost predisposed to kind of sitting into the left side already.

You're a little bit tilted here, but it's not bad.

But you can see this is what it has to feel like when your hips load properly in the swing.

You've been moving a lot laterally and not been getting this rotation element that's been missing in your swing.

So now you can see you look nice and centered and stacked and you're basically right where you started at a dress.

All right.

Cause you kind of got like an inch and a half gap in the background there of the ladder.

It's perfect.

You see how much simpler that will be to get back to the left side and the down.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Okay.

So, so that, you know, when you go back in the house, you've got a kitchen countertop, something like that against here, just to get you used to, you don't want to do this, right? This would be the opposite.

And you don't want to do this, which is what you're doing.

So just having a countertop there as a reference or a chair will just help you start to feel this.

But what I want you to start to do now, now that you're used to your hip, not doing this, once your left hip moves in a long ways, really hard to get back to the left.

You got to be super patient.

You got to be really slow, have really syrupy rhythm and tempo.

If you want to be able to go, then you, your left hip can't be moving way off this left foot.

It's got us, when you're looking at it from face on and you're turning correctly with your hips, your left hip is going to look like it doesn't really move that far this way, because then you're, as soon as it does, it's really, it's a big lateral shift.

So by learning to keep this right hip in place, not only does my right hip look like it's staying, but the left hip looks like it's not moving very far either.

So that makes it very easy for me to sit back into this left side and turn my hips to get ready for the post-up.

Okay.

So let's see if we can stack that rotation of your hips going back with a good sitting into the left side going down.

Excellent.

Feel that.

I want you to really feel that left glute as you start down, really sit into it, feel there a little too much, but good.

Am I, I'm going that way too though, right? You, yes, you are.

You just went a little too far.

Good.

Now push up off that left glute.

There you go.

Let me see.

Back, sit up.

Back, sit up.

Is it like a back, sit up? Almost perfect.

Almost perfect.

Back, sit up.

You need one little tweak there that I'm going to show you now.

Let me go to the end here.

So it's like back, sit up.

Back, sit.

You're getting it.

Sit.

So you did it.

So you can see how you start to squat down here and really load that left leg.

Then I got to pop up.

Yep, exactly.

Now you've got some power in there, but notice how your left hip is outside your left knee.

Left hip is outside.

Okay.

There's a little change here.

Yeah.

All that means is you just did too much of a closed hip slide, which I'm going to show you in a second.

But then as you post up, you don't need to turn your shoulders here.

Just focus on posting up on that left hip.

And your left hip is nice and strong there, but you just tried to turn your chest as well.

So what I mean by that closed hip slide is you did a great job turning.

You're a lot more coiled.

You're a lot more centered and stacked.

But if you keep your hips closed for too long as you're sitting on the left side, my left knee looks buckled in.

See how my hip is past my knee? Right? So this is just keeping your hips shut and just doing this a little too much.

Instead, there's a little, you can do a little tiny closed hip slide, but your knee has to move as well over the foot.

They go together.

And that's also having you turn your hips.

So as I turn my hips, that moves my left knee back into alignment over my ankle.

This is not a very powerful way to drive up.

Right? But if I was going to do a squat, that's really what we're doing.

We're trying to jump.

So I wouldn't want to jump like this with my knee all buckled in, right, and my hip out over here.

So I need my knee, my ankle, and my hip to be in alignment so that I can jump more powerfully.

So just as you're coming down, just let this knee move over the foot and get into a position where you feel like you can jump off that left leg.

Okay.

Excellent.

Left knee is going with you as you sit back into the left.

I'm going to sit back.

And you're going to feel like you load into that left leg so that you can jump off of it.

So sit into it like you did before.

Really load that left glute.

Don't turn the shoulders, just your hips.

Now you're letting your hip, there you go.

Good.

That was better right there.

Don't let your hips slide to the right again.

You're kind of falling into that old habit.

That's a little too much lateral during the backswing with the right hip.

So let that hip turn back.

There you go.

Good.

Turn back.

Good.

Now sit into the left side.

Good.

And drive up.

Like you're going to jump.

Literally jump off the left leg.

There you go.

Okay.

Turn the hips.

Good.

Good.

You're starting to get a little speed out of the left leg.

Good.

Really good.

Good.

So I got to get this.

This knee has got to get here.

And that's why we don't want it to buckle in too far during the backswing.

Okay.

So don't buckle back.

There you go.

Good.

Really good.

All right.

Let me show you that.

Okay.

Much, much better.

How do your legs feel? Do you feel like they're waking up? Yeah.

My butt sure is.

Good.

That's what we want.

I got to be sure not to open up my chest, right? But really, that's going to be something.

Right now, you're not going to think about too many things at once.

But the big thing is we want to make sure that we're turning a little bit more.

We're going back, which you did pretty well on quite a few of these, where we're not making a big lateral shift.

But now you can see as your left leg starts to come down, your left hip, you're actually really using your left leg.

Your left leg is no longer soft.

The knee is getting straightened.

Your hip is getting posted up.

In all my old videos, I always thought I looked so loosey -goosey through the knees.

Just too wiggly.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's exactly right.

And so you didn't have that as a power source.

And now you're starting to wake those up.

And that's really what I want you to start to focus on.

This is a much, much better position from where we started with the left knee was just kind of bent.

And we don't have anything to post into.

So the main things I want you to focus on are your right hip going back.

You've got to keep from doing this.

This is a death move.

So it's going to be turning.

And as you turn, your left knee is going to go forward.

Your left hip is going to go forward.

Your left hip is going to go down.

So that we're starting to get that downhill.

We're going to use gravity to work for us to make this weight shift happen automatic.

And once that's loaded up, I want you to start to feel that you can really post up.

Not trying to hyperextend your knee.

You're just like you would jump.

It's this exact same motion.

And that's why as we start to do this quick, that's where the speed really comes from.

At first, when you're doing it slow, you're going to feel your left glute getting really tired because you're really working it hard.

In the swing, it happens super fast, right? So that's what I really want you to start to get comfortable with is, yes, at first, to go slow and feel a lot of tension here is okay.

You'll probably be sore afterwards.

But at least it gets that cognitive awareness in your brain to start to feel these muscles engage again.

But then as you get comfortable with that, the goal is to start to make it fast.

And then it won't feel like the same level of tension.

It'll just feel quick.

So that's going to be the goal for you is to wake all this stuff up, Get that left leg posted up and that left glute engaging so the hips can decelerate during the downswing so that everything else can start transferring up the chain.

Does that make sense? Yeah, it does.

Totally.

Thank you, Chuck.

Really.

You bet.

So that's all you should be working on right now.

Just getting your hips to work correctly.

No more sliding.

And as you start to put your arms back into it, your arms, your goal is for your arms to feel a lot more relaxed.

Because right now, when you start picking them up and I start seeing your upper body go into extension, where you're kind of leaning back this way a little bit, and that's that reverse pivot look, is because you're trying to pick your arms and shoulders up.

What you're going to realize is that your arms and shoulders are the very last thing in the golf swing that does anything in the downswing.

And so because of that, we don't want to load them up early in the backswing.

If we do, they'll fire too soon.

And that sequence I was mentioning is off.

So as you go back, your arms are nice and chillaxed.

They're still relatively relaxed.

And then you can really focus on using your lower body and it'll have time to do the work.

But if your arms are tense and you start raising them up, then you're going to start reversing into these old habits that you won't be able to overcome because there's too much muscular tension.

Okay.

I'm excited.

Thank you.

Cool.

Thank you so much.

Do you mind if I share your lesson? I think this will help a lot of people who kind of have this bad mood and stuff.

Absolutely.

It's fine with me, Chuck.

Cool.

Great job today.

And let me know how it goes.

Oh, I definitely will.

Thanks again.

All right.

You bet.

Bye -bye.

Can you point me to a video that drills in that squat to square movement. I’m sure that I squat,I pull with the gluts/hamstrings to this position but there’s a lot of detail like getting the arm to the right thigh, letting them be moved by the hips ... how can I drill this in so it becomes natural since it isn’t really a step but part of the downswing in .25 seconds?

Hello Stuart. I don't believe we have one that specifically focuses on just that section. DEAD 4, Step 3 - Add Lead Arm, Squat to Square, Which Muscles to Feel in Golf Swing Transition, and Play the Best Golf of Your Life in 6 Weeks Video 4 of 6 would be the best bet.

This one lesson helped me so much- I was a slider and did not know it- once in a while I would time it right and hit a good iron shot but sometimes- - 6 to 10 times a round I would top or Chilli dip it. I now rotate and have my let shoulder and left hip to go down towards the ball. I am now hitting my irons 10 to 15 yds longer with every shot solid- direction could be improved but I am very happy. I looked at old video and saw that I was sliding back 6 to 10 inches- and then sliding forward and wondering why I could not open my hips! I am so happy with your instruction-

Once again, these sessions always bring out a nugget or two of fundamental movements, can't have enough of that pounded into your brain...The idea of walking through the DEAD drills, while seeing these instructions and then circling back again is a winning methodology....all members need to be watching these...keep them coming.

Ok... What is the answer to the question? Is it; Squat to Square, Rotate, Club Release, follow through? Cause it seems that Squat to Square has most of the sequencing covered. Hmmmm?

Hello Manny. He was referring to more of the 4 steps in the kinematic sequence in the downswing.

Hey Craig... Always good to here back from you. What are those 4 steps of the kinematic sequence? Is there a video which I can refer to, which specifies these 4 steps in the kinematic sequence in the Downswing?

Hello Manny. Same here Manny. The Kinematic sequence in the swing will be hips, torso, arms, and club. Take a look at Golf Kinetic Chain: Hip Deceleration Video.

Great visual of using the ladder to reduce "ladder-al" movement.
