In this video, you'll see how to use a chair on the driving range, to help you maintain your tush line once and for all.

  • Both cheeks touching the chair
  • Shift your weight
  • Pull the lead cheek into the chair
  • Try to keep the trail cheek against the chair as long as possible during the release

Hey Ritter Swing Golfers welcome back.

I'm your instructor Chris Tyler.

Have you been really struggling with your hips coming forward down in the hitting area? Possibly even running into yourself getting jammed up, Not really having a good, clear solution on how to get yourself up to speed, whether you're on the driving range or on the golf course? Well I got great news.

I'm going to show you how this little fold-up chair can help solve a lot of your problems on the driving range.

And really get you a good, correct feel on how to keep your hips back in the hitting area.

So I know exactly how frustrating it can be to constantly battle the loss of tush line.

And when we get out to the driving range, we're trying to get our swing up to full speed.

And we still see our hips coming forward.

And we just get all frustrated with it.

Well, That's what I've designed today's drill for is that we're going to give you a good way to start to get your golf swing up to speed on the driving range.

With being able to create a different sensation within your body, and that's what this little chair is going to come in handy for.

Now again, feel is not necessarily a real thing in your golf swing, but sometimes you need to allow your body to feel drastically different when you're up at full speed.

And these are not necessarily the the correct movements of moving into your lead side.

And what I mean there is, when I show you this drill, you're going to see that.

Normally speaking, when we have you working to sit into your lead side, you would notice that your hips would try to go back just a little bit.

I want you to think of that as almost a graduate level move at this point.

You can slowly start to add that feature into the golf swing once you've really developed the hips, staying back through the hitting area.

Most important part right now is just being able to maintain our spine angle so I want you to go ahead and grab a lawn chair or any sort of fold -up chair that you can bring out to the range your friends might look at you like you're nuts your playing partners might look at you like you're nuts your other members might look at you like you're nuts but this is a great way to start to get your golf swing up to speed and really start to focus on being able to keep your hips back so what I want you to do is just go ahead and set up okay I've moved I've positioned this chair so it's I've got both my right and my left cheek touching right against the chair just lightly here and our goal as we're starting to release the golf club here we're going to make sure that we number one shift our weight to our lead side as we're starting to push our lead heel into the ground and pull our left glute back towards the chair as I want you to try and feel now feel is the operative word that your right tush stays glued to the chair back here now obviously because we're pushing our left heel in the ground our hips are opening up our right hip will move forward just slightly but I want you to try and feel as though everything stays glued back behind it okay so it's going to stay stuck to this chair and this is going to allow you to get some full swings going here so I would do several reps without a golf ball at first okay so here I'm going to go nice and slow up to the top okay I'm going to shift my weight left and as I'm pushing my left heel in the ground I'm going to try and feel like my right butt's staying right back against this chair okay so you can see that my heel is staying a little bit closer to the ground I don't have this kind of look okay so I'm starting to get my speed up once you get the correct feel of that go ahead and add the golf ball back to the mix and give it a try and you can do this with your irons you can do this with your wedges anything that you've really been battling with chances are if you've been battling with your hips coming forward with any club you can start to get the correct feel even with your longer clubs as well so okay so my hips came forward a little bit there I got a little jammed up let's try that again so I want to feel that my right tush as I'm pushing my left glute back into the chair is staying back against it so let's try it again see if we can do a little better this time here we go I hit that one pretty well there okay so take a chair out to the range work on keeping your right tush back definitely make sure you're transferring your weight into your lead side push the heel into the ground pull your lead hip back into the chair and try to keep your right side feeling like it's touching the chair all the way through the release point of the swing and you're going to see that you can start to overcome some of that early extension and some of that problem losing of the tush

This has been a key focus of my online lessons. I’ve worked hard at keeping to the Tusch line on my backswing by focussing on loading up the right glute. But I still struggle not to move off it on the downswing. When I make a conscious effort to keep my hips back on the downswing I get massive slices. If this is something you often see when trying to fix this fault any suggestions as to how to practice this and get a straighter shot?

Hello Stephen. Sounds like you don't finish the weight shift. Most players start keeping the butt along the chair, but forget about weight and the dynamics how you move through the shot. Check to see you still get a good sit into the lead side and then clear. Take a look at the Clamshell Drill and Perfecting Lower Body Stability.

Losing tush line on first move down from the top - when I focus on keeping the chest closed and over the ball my shots were very straight today but I’m missing right more than left now
November 12, 2020
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Kevin. Keeping the chest closed for too long will get you under plane. If you didn't rush the hands that could lead to the push shot. Make sure you don't add a touch of closed hip slide and chest back too long. May lead to push, or flip left to save.

Hi Craig, I’ve hit balls and played the last two days after our lesson and played well with my tightened up backswing. I’ve found when I cover the ball better with my chest my path is more on top and the club works down better. My miss that I captured at the range though was thin cuts or solid pulls - I also hit the alignment rod I have down on some shots so I’m assuming my path is working more in as it has shortened. My first move from the top is coming off the tush line as you can see - should I focus more on getting that left hip open or keeping the right cheek and chest closed longer to maintain my tush line?
November 12, 2020
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Kevin. Start to let the hips square up a little more. Tiniest bit closed hip slideish to maintain the tush. Glad you are working on tidying up that bakcswing!
November 12, 2020

Kevin
Thanks Craig - just to clarify, are you saying I should add more of a closed hip slide to keep the right glute back on the tush line for the top or are you saying it looks like a closed hip slide? I checked the magic box and as you said my knees aren’t in the middle of the box so clearing / rotating more would help the tush line
November 12, 2020

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Kevin. Yes. You are underdoing the rotation and need to delete the closed hip.

I worked on more rotation in front of the mirror tonight - really feeling the lead knee externally rotating more. It might be the camera angle but my knees don’t appear to both be in the middle here but tush line vastly improved with the club flipped

At impact the left hip pushes the chair back. Where should the left hip be at the completion of the swing? Does it come away from the chair a bit as the back straightens, or should it stay back on the chair?

Michael (Certified RST Instructor)
Hi Nick. The lead hip is stacked over the ankle at the completion of the swing, so it will move away from the chair.

I have been making progress on the drills, but continue to play 3x/ week. I’ve had to take a week off after straining my lower back muscles ,especially the right erector spinae muscle, during a great round, breaking 80 for the first time in 2 years. I have never experienced back pain playing golf before. Since I have had issues with early extension in the past, could the swing changes in Step 1,2 and 3 ( that’s as far as I’ve gotten so far) combined with early extension have caused this? I have watched the tush line videos as well as the back pain video, but not sure how to proceed. Thanks, Don

Hello Don. Pushing with the trail hip/early extension can cause back issues. Especially, if you add a lot of side bend as well to the motion. Take a look at How to Fix Golf Back Pain Video.

Craig, I definitely slide my hips alot as I move into my left side ( apparent on video at full speed) ; bad old habit-it looks like this also casuses me that secondary tilt. Should I put a chair or something outside my left hip at address and if so how far away to allow proper downswing weight transfer and post up?
May 5, 2020
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Doug. It's your trail hip fault. Not the lead hip. You can do something like that, but I don't think it would curtail the issue. Try some counter torque with the Sam Snead Squat Video.

Chuck, I'm 5 weeks into my swing trasformation and its going solid. I'm doing much better with lower body in transition but have a hip sway issue on the downswing weight shift and my shoulders quickly tilt what I think is to much. This can't be good for my lumbar, can you take a look and give me your suggestions. When I do it it chunks and slow motion its much better.

I am having trouble with keeping the tush line when there is a ball present during full swing. I can maintain the tush line without the club, with the club, left hand only, both hands, and even 9 to 3 with the ball. However, full swing with the ball, I lose the tush line at the beginning of the downswing leading to loss of spine angle, shots off the heal, etc. Any suggestions?

Would love to see this video in slow motion, where Chris mentions his tush coming out a little (the 1'st swing) and the better swing (2'nd swing) as a comparison...Hard to tell the difference in full speed. Keeping the tush back just doesn't feel right to me because the downswing wants to get to a post-up position, which pulls the tush/cheeks away, up and around...
October 21, 2019
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Bill. Thanks for the suggestion. The post up is up and back. This should promote maintaining on the proper lines. The trail cheek will leave a little, but the lead should easily still be on or even increased. The key is that you aren't pushing with the trail when that happens.

Just trying to connect some concepts - does keeping the right hip back also help keep the shoulders closed longer? I have trouble with both spinning open and assume it would help
September 9, 2019

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Kevin. Yes it will. But, when you shift the hips will have to rotate. Just make sure you don't get into a closed hip slide. Take a look at the Closed Hip Slide Video.

Hey, is it anatomically possible to rotate your left hip into the chair and at the same time keep the right hip on the chair?
August 6, 2019

Hello William. To a certain degree you can rotate the hip slightly holding the trail hip on the chair, but not very far.

Thanks for clarifying. I imagine that is why there is a slight increase in the distance between the knees starting the downswing.

Hello - loving the content, reviews and the drills that go along with them. I am improving after years of whacking at balls with no purpose. My question is, where&how does one access/navigate to this video on the website? I have been watching, in sequential order, the videos found after clicking the Video Menu drop down, then the Rotary Swing University Dashboard. I received a swing review and this video was a recommended drill, yet when I search for it on the Dashboard, I do not see it.

Should the lead leg stay bent on the swing? I feel like I have to stay in squat position in order to maintain tush line. Are there other drills to maintain tush line that dont involve full swings? My major problem is I'm do right side dominant that I cant stop using my right side/arm to dominate nbn ate and overtake left hand
June 20, 2019
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Michael. As you post the lead leg will straighten and with a proper post you should be able to maintain tush/spine angle. Take a look at You Hit the Golf Ball with Your Legs and Step 2 - Core Rotation. Combine those drills with the drill above. No club, just body movements and proper sequencing. See if you can delete the early extension without a club first.

Just wanted to share something that has allowed me to drill the feel of maintaining the tush line (a forever problem for me). I record my swing down the line using the front camera of my iPad so that if I turn my head to the right (away from target) I can see my image. By having my tush lined up against a vertical line in the background (like a doorway) I can watch whether I am staying on the tush line through the backswing and downswing. Amazingly, when watching myself, I can make better 9 to 3 swings, with good tush line and good plane, compared to looking down at the ball. I think its because not seeing the ball takes away the "hit" instinct out so my hands stay relaxed during the downswing.

Would another thought of trying to push the chair back with your lead glute be appropriate? I almost feel like I’m pushing off my lead heel and pushing my left glute back. Feels weird but I want to make sure this is correct. It looks like my tush line is staying in place in the mirror when I do this.

Hello Nolan. The lead hip works back and away from the target. I don't have a problem with your thinking of pushing the lead glute/hip backwards.

Have been working a lot on maintaining the tush line. The video about hip pain, pulling with left side seemed to really help maintain or improve tush line on downswing. The problem now is that I move several inches toward the ball during the backswing. Especially after the left arm passes parallel. Any ideas on what causes moving toward the ball during the backswing, or are there any videos addressing this?
September 12, 2018
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Andrew. Sounds like you are allowing the weight to go towards the toes, or improper trail glute loading. Take a look at Load Right Leg Video first to see if you can gain some stability.
September 12, 2018
64x64
Andrew
Thanks Craig, it's awkward but it worked. I'll explain- I kept my right knee flexed, and started the backswing with the weight on the balls of/midfoot, moving towards the heel/ankle. Once I did that, the tush line did not change. Then on the downswing, the left leg adduction and I actually see on video my left hip getting a little behind the setup tush line. Just to let you know, I have been trying to do those moves for a year, and no matter what, I always moved forward 3-4 inches on backswing, followed by a couple more on downswing. But my swing was backwards - I was overrotating the hip and moving from heel to toe on backswing, then driving hard with my right side/leg on downswing. I have to laugh because I might not be able to hit a golf ball the new way, as all of my moves and feels seem 'reversed', but it actually looks ok on video for the only time I can recall. Thanks
September 13, 2018
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Andrew. Making a new change can definitely make you feel like you have never swung a club before. Sounds like progress is being made though. Good stuff. My only question is why start with the weight on the balls of the foot?
September 13, 2018
64x64
Andrew
Good question, if I start the backswing with weight toward the middle/ball of foot, I feel like I can resist the club pulling me forward. And toward the end of the backswing, it feels like with my weight on the heel/ankle, I can stabilize against the club pulling me back. Probably overthinking that or doing it wrong. What weight shift video do I need to re-watch? Thanks

Hello Tim. Typically, losing the tush line will cause you to slide/push the hips. Putting the lead hip socket wall at risk. Take a look at Preventing Hip Pain.

i have studied that video and when i watch myself in the mirror, it looks like i am in neutral joint alignment. although it does appear that i have to much axes tilt. Also, i notice the pain in my lead hip more when i load up on the right side, maybe i am over rotating but it looks like i am at 45 degrees.
June 14, 2018
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Tim. If you are moving off the ball too much creating excessive tilt it would affect more the lumbar spine. Could pull a little on the hip though (Head Moving off the Ball Video). Also, if you have too much secondary axis tilt take a look at the (Level Shoulders Drill).

I think this is a great thought. I videoed myself today hitting some wedges and although contact was really solid feeling, I noticed I was coming up on my right toe when the club was parallel to the ground coming down. At setup it appears I have about a grip and a half clearance (see daylight). However, on the downswing the butt end of the club looks like it is almost hitting me and I am up on my right toe somewhat. Would this be a good drill to allow the hands to comethrough and keep the daylight between the butt end of the club and my thighs?

Hi Craig, when I swing lead arm only I maintain my tush line throughout the backswing, as seen in my latest review. However with both hands on the club I lose it at waist high and my hips move towards the ball by several inches. Therefore as this video refers mainly to the downswing by which time I've already lost it will this video assist this problem. Thanks Mike.
November 4, 2017

Hello Mike. Yes, use it for the backswing help as well. Make sure you are loading properly (Weight Shift Video Part 2) and you don't over rotate the hips when trying to load initially in the takeaway.

I can maintain the tush line with a chair in my garage but when I head to the course or range and take the video I really stand up. I do know I am a flipper so really working on weight shift first to start downswing but I have a question. When you shift to the left and bring hips to square then open them up 30-45 degrees to bring them around to the left it really feels like I am sticking my rear out all through the downswing and follow through. Is that somewhat normal for a person who never maintained the tush line nor really had good hip movement and the downswing?

Chris, I just submitted videos for review without adding any notes or comments, inadvertently. I would have said that the videos were submitted as showing some progress toward the goals of keeping R foot down through contact and reducing posture changes. I also would like to add that these videos were taken just a few hours after I completed a round of 18 holes under par. First time achievement for me. Fred

The big miss for me has always been left. Also I've always had a power leak because I don't get the distance I should be getting. Would those two problems be typical of someone not maintaining the tush line? Also , I notice some players right foot are off the ground at impact and some are not. Please explain. I'm keeping it down through and everything is getting better so far.
May 9, 2017
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Bradley. Early extension usually causes a two way miss. Because you rely heavily on the hands to square the face while not maintaining spine angle. If you have fast hands and only providing power through wrist rotation. It could easily send the ball left and short. The trail foot is meant or should be used as a brake in the swing. Some players push from their trail side to try and add power. But, it can cause more inconsistencies. Take a look at Jason Day vs. Rory Mcilroy | Power Post Up for more info and visuals.

When I am able to maintain the tush line, which is very difficult for me, I seem to pull all my shots. How do I counter this?
February 24, 2017
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Dean. Make sure that you are still shifting the weight into the lead side and not over powering with the upper half through the strike. Make some lead arm only swings against the chair. Which should help you shallow the path and release more towards the target.

Hi guys, I have heard of a similar drill. I set into my position with my tush against a wall and then I do a practice swing with my arms crossed over my shoulders. As I transfer my weight to the left side, I try to turn out my left knee and transfer my weight to my left heel. While doing this, I keep my tush against the wall. Does this sounds like an effective way to practice not losing my tush line. I often lose the line in my swing and pull up with early extension. Rob

Hello James. Take a look at Play the Best Golf of Your Life in 6 Weeks 1 of 6. You need to load and rotate into the trail side better.

Then, I gather the swing stance is predominantly quiet and rigid? The form maintains its posture through the swing, until the finish? Then, I wonder what are the major power drivers in the swing? Buttocks? Thighs? Abs core box? Throughout the swing, the player sits metaphorically like she sits in a chair?

Hello Loan. The swing stance is quiet. But, I wouldn't say necessarily rigid. I get concerned when players try to overly lock items. The posture and tush line will maintain form through the swing. The trail buttock will leave slightly due to rotation, but only right before impact. Glutes, Abs, Obliques, and Lats will be the major drivers in the swing. You don't actually want to sit back as much like in a chair, but metaphorically on the right track.

How much does flexibility in the hamstrings play a factor in being able to keep your tush on the line and prevent early extension?

Hello Monty. Hip Flexors and hamstrings play a key role in tush line. You need to be somewhat flexible to help with the early extension.

Am I correct in believing that the golf swing is a collection of opposing forces? What I mean is, in a technical sense, centripetal force drives the arms and club in the opposite direction both in the backswing and the downswing, pressing into the ground with the trail heel and bring the club and arms up and pressing into the ground with the lead heel while straightening the leg results in force back into the ball with the arms and body?

Hey Dennis, That is a great way to think of the golf swing. From a physics stand point, centrifugal force is a result from centripetal force, so I would think more from a cause and effect standpoint.

How can I continue to turn my hips after impact? In my swing I'm on the tush line at impact, but my finish looks like I stand up pulling away from that line. I noticed the pro's get their left hip on the tush line at finish position.

Hello Jay. You need to let the momentum of the release pull your body through to a complete finish. You might be trying to pull too much leverage from the ground. Take a look at Perfecting Lower Body Stability. Make sure you pull the lead hip out of the way properly and when you release the club the trail side gets pulled through instead of pushing up too much.

Craig, I just watched that video, and it helps. But I wanted to take a second to alarm you guys, the clothes you wear help us novice golfers tremendously. When talking about the hip's, Chris wears a white belt, and contrasting color outfit. Im being serious when I say , that helps me focus on his hips. Intentional, or not, Good job to him.

Hello Jay. Great. Yes, good find. We try to have a little contrast to help separate body parts.

I like this drill. I'll use my golf bag with the driver or 3w sticking out of the bag far enough so it touches my tush where I can feel. Maybe not as good as the chair but...Tom Spriggs
