Emiliano Grillo wins the 2015 Frys open. In this video, I'll show you how he uses his trail foot in the golf swing for tons of clubhead speed.
Hey, what's up everyone?
This is RST instructor Chris Tyler.
And we are back again with this week's tour analysis with Emilio Grillo, who just picked up his victory on the PGA Tour this past weekend at the Fry's Open.
We're going to be focusing in on how the right foot can help you extend the radius in your golf swing to help you add more speed with your driver.
So if you've been looking for a way to pick up more speed, you want to pay close attention to today's review.
Let's go and get started.
Okay guys, so as I said in the opener, We are going to be focusing in on how to pick up a little bit more speed with your driver this week with the roll of the right foot.
I know we talked a lot about this in the past and I probably sound like a little bit of a broken record, But I'm going to show you guys how important it is to be able to extend the radius in your golf swing so that you don't lose speed with your right foot, kind of driving towards your hands down in the hitting area, Which, in turn, can cause a lot of early extension and cause a lot of inconsistencies in your golf game.
So let's go ahead and take a look here.
So we're going to be focusing on the right foot this week, really in particular.
We're going to go ahead and load him up to the top of his golf swing.
You can see he gets really good separation.
So watch his hips here as he loads to the top of the golf swing.
There's not any sort of excess rotation.
Pretty much creates about 45 degrees of separation between the hip line and the shoulder line.
But now in the downward move, you're going to see a lot of external rotation of his lead leg.
It's going to help him pull his hips over to the lead side.
So you see that move right there.
That's actually called internal femur rotation.
But as his hips and knees get back to a square position right here, you can see that his hands are still up about chest height.
He hasn't yanked his arms down in front of him.
He's starting to pull his hands and arms down in front of him with his lower body.
But most importantly, In order for him to be able to create a lot of space between his body and his hands as he's releasing the club, he's going to keep this right heel down on the ground very, very well.
Very textbook look.
Let's just go ahead and take a look what that looks like.
So you can see here we are at impact.
See how the right foot stays down in the ground.
What I want you to notice as well, the space that he has between his thigh and his hands.
So you can see there's a pretty good size window.
So if you've ever noticed in your golf swing where your thighs and your hands are very close down the hitting area, then you need to learn how to use your right foot as a braking mechanism in your golf swing.
This is going to help you from spinning through the hitting area.
It's going to help you from causing a lot of early extension, bringing your hips forward.
And in turn, you're going to be able to have a lot more speed.
So if you've been struggling with picking up more speed in your golf swing, I encourage you to use your right foot properly in the golf swing.
And we've got a couple of great videos that are going to help you out with that.
So over here to the right hand side of the video player under the recommended videos tab, go ahead and click that tab and you will see all the videos that I talk about here.
The roll of the right foot in the downswing and the long arms drill.
So those of you guys that are looking for more extension and also the straight left leg at impact video.
That's another good video that's going to teach you guys how to push that heel onto the ground.
And then go ahead and release those hands and arms out in front of you.
And you'll have a lot more speed and a lot more extension.
And in turn, You'll be able to obviously vomit past all your friends out there and have a good day on the golf course.
All right, gang.
So that's this week's review.
I know we're in the midst of releasing a new video series on perfecting your impact.
And I encourage you all to understand how important it is to use the right foot in the golf swing properly.
And look out for this week's video on Thursday.
We will hopefully we'll get some really good progress moving forward.
Let's make it a great day.
