0:00hey everybody danny mart here thanks for
0:02joining us i've got a quick question for
0:03you are you an
0:04arm swinger or a body swinger because
0:07you know what the difference between the
0:08two is absolutely
0:10huge the arm swingers tend to be the
0:12golfers that are
0:13really inconsistent you know struggling
0:15with slices and hooks and a
0:17lack of power and consistency yet your
0:19body swingers
0:20they're they tend they're the golfers
0:22who look effortless they've got powerful
0:24swings and repeatable swings
0:25and are far more consistent do you know
0:27what no matter
0:28their age so this week's golf class and
0:31what i want to do is i want to share
0:32with you exactly how if you choose to
0:35you can start to become much more of a
0:37body swinger
0:38to improve your overall power and your
0:41accuracy
0:42no matter your age or ability so that's
0:44what i'm going to cover in this week's

0:58you don't have to remember a thing i'll
0:59put it all in a free
1:01downloadable practice plan in the
1:02description box below so you can go and
1:04enjoy
1:06great so what is the difference between
1:07an arm swinger and a body swing
1:09very very simple look if you are an arm
1:11swinger you're going to be putting so
1:12much effort into your shots but not
1:14getting
1:14the reward that you want nowhere near
1:16enough power and you're probably finding
1:18that you're inconsistent not just in
1:19your ball striker but your direction
1:21too and the reason being is look your
1:23arms on their own don't really have a
1:25lot of power
1:26they really really don't the other thing
1:27is is look if you're relying on your
1:29arms look our rams can move literally
1:31all over the place so how do you get the
1:32club in all these right positions
1:34easily by the way well you can it's too
1:36hard
1:37on the way through they can swing to the
1:39right they could swing to the left etc
1:41the body swingers do something very
1:43different the body swingers go
1:46i want the club and the arm to swing
1:47freely
1:49but i'm going to use my body to make
1:52sure it does
1:53so what they do is this rather than rely
1:56on their arms to move in positions
1:58they use their body in a way that
2:01creates
2:02an efficient backswing here so they use
2:04their body to swing the club up on the
2:06way back and they use their body to
2:07swing the club
2:08down on the downswing now as they're
2:11doing this their body is propelling the
2:13club back
2:14and propelling the club through and it's
2:16all led
2:17from the ground notice the consistency
2:20in the ark when the body's
2:21leading it back and through it creates a
2:25lot more consistency a lot more power
2:27the question is how can you go about
2:29creating this one thing understanding it
2:31the other thing now is actually to be
2:32able to experience it for yourself now
2:34the best way to start with this very
2:35very simply is this
2:37you grab hold of this glove club for a
2:38second imagine you're holding this in me
2:39and you are going to have a game of
2:40tug-of-war
2:42hold on to that end and if you're an arm
2:44swinger you're going to try and beat me
2:46by doing this i'm pulling these amps now
2:50i don't want you to do that
2:51i want you to be a body swinger right
2:53what does the body swing gonna do
2:55they'll hold on to that end now watch
2:57this they
2:58form a platform first the platform
3:01goes onto this foot here they use the
3:04ground
3:05to stabilize themselves first then that
3:07energy gets applied through the body
3:09down the arms into this club
3:11then they'll use that to bring that
3:14action
3:14into and win that tug of war the same
3:18thing applies to golf
3:19the question is how do you about doing
3:21how do you feel about doing it
3:22so i've got a couple of therabands you
3:25don't need these the visual alone will
3:26be massively beneficial
3:28but it's a great way to kind of show you
3:31so all i've got is a couple therabands
3:33and i'm going to put them
3:34under both feet like this
3:38and this is again one thing about golf
3:40is is understanding is one thing
3:41learning to
3:42feel the motions is what will make the
3:44deciding difference so stuff
3:46like this is so so beneficial and i
3:48really recommend
3:49you find uh you do you get something
3:50like this i'll put a link to a
3:51description
3:52um i think there's some still cheap ones
3:54on amazon so all you do is this
3:56now if you're an amswing you're going to
3:58do this you're going to try and i want
3:59you to try and complete your backswing
4:01here
4:01and complete your follow through so
4:02you're going to create the backswing
4:04here
4:04and create the downswing here now if
4:06you're an arm swinger
4:08you're going to be doing this
4:09[Music]
4:12not very powerful the body swingers do
4:15this
4:16they form the platform on the trail foot
4:18first and they use that platform
4:20to finish their back swing and notice
4:23this
4:24that platform my trail leg is extending
4:28it's helping me as i extend it opens me
4:30up opens the body my right shoulder the
4:32trail shoulder's going backwards
4:33to finish my backswing i form my
4:36platform now on my downswing here
4:38i use that platform to extend and open
4:41and finish my swing
4:43but if you are an arm swinger you can't
4:46really do any of that
4:47right so this is where the power is
4:50going to come from so look
4:51form your platform rotate shift over
4:54here
4:55rotate so it's a shift rotate shift
4:58rotate shift rotate bang and this is the
5:02motion
5:03that we want to be creating notice this
5:06see this a lot of slices
5:07you're over here how do i get power into
5:11this
5:11downswing i can can i where's the power
5:14come from
5:15form the platform now i can use this leg
5:18to create
5:19that power how do i swing the club in
5:21the backseat for my platform
5:24now i can use that this foot here to
5:26form my backswing here
5:28so what we're doing is we're using
5:31both feet the trail foot and the lead
5:33foot to create the backswing
5:35and then the downswing create the
5:38backswing
5:39then create the downswing do not create
5:42the
5:42downs the backs on the downswing with
5:44your arms do not create the downs
5:46the downswing with your arms too so
5:49create it
5:50with the feet so how does this relate to
5:53golf well
5:54i'm actually hitting a shot move this
5:56out the way for a second all we're going
5:57to do now is we're going to make a few
5:58swings
5:59i'm going to start forward here maybe
6:01raise his heel off the ground slip but
6:02get a rhythm with us
6:03i'm going to shift over here i'm going
6:05to use that foot now to open up
6:08this extends creates the backside it's
6:10almost like a pulling motion here
6:12i'm almost doing this pulling back
6:14drawing it back not with my arms from
6:15the ground
6:16up imagine the band pull it back now
6:18watch this for my platform imagine the
6:20band here now
6:21and i'm going to use my ground to pull
6:23the band around here
6:24again backswing form it pull win the
6:27wall
6:28pull the band this way here pull the
6:30band
6:31pull the band pull the band let's have
6:34another look
6:36at this in action here so let's take a
6:37couple shots and see how this applies so
6:39feel the pull pull back pull through
6:45come down maybe a bit long
6:49not too bad come down off that slope
6:51there we go
6:52not bad for the first one nice okay look
6:56so all we're doing in reality is this is
6:58getting the sense of using that ground
7:01as you're playing and you're gonna from
7:03here
7:04you could pull like this of course you
7:05could but what we're gonna do is we're
7:07gonna pull
7:08from the ground you're gonna lead this
7:10way pull back here
7:12this is gonna draw that swing back and
7:14then form the platform pull that
7:16platform again
7:17around this side here there's a shift
7:20rotate
7:21shift rotate all the way back and i say
7:24that to yourself all the time
7:26you're swinging okay now if you're going
7:27to shift you what means you see a lot of
7:29players
7:30shift to the left first then to the
7:31right so they can comfortably create
7:33that shift
7:34back and rotate let's have one more look
7:38and then we'll give you a little summary
7:39of how you can do this at home so
7:42shift rotate
7:46that's a little bit straighter i think
7:51not bad pretty close okay so
7:54summary one thing is understanding the
7:57swing
7:58second thing is learning to feel it and
8:01when you've been used to swinging with
8:02your arms it's not easy to get out of
8:04this
8:05right so bear that in mind this is not
8:06an easy thing you've got to get that
8:08sensation here
8:10of feeling the ground working that's why
8:12i love the resistance bands initially
8:14because
8:14they provide so much resistance it's
8:16harder to swing with your arms
8:18this club's a bit lighter so the way you
8:20do it in a golf club to kind of get this
8:21sensation
8:22is often start with it head first to get
8:24a sensation
8:25that way you're always drawing it back
8:28you're leading it here it's shifting
8:30open up that body draw it back after the
8:33plus drag
8:34back and then from here form the
8:35platform drag it through
8:37drag and lag it through whatever you
8:39want to call it right
8:40this way this way it's a great way
8:44if you want to get compression on your
8:45shoulder look at this as i'm coming
8:46through look at my hands going to be
8:48naturally ahead
8:49without trying without trying
8:52you also naturally create a bit of this
8:54catapult i've often talked about
8:55here as i hear as you're pulling through
8:57you get this slinging effect again
8:59all very natural one
9:04two one two
9:07one two get that band draw it here
9:11draw it here bang bang get that
9:14sensation do
9:14loads of this at home get the whole
9:17concept
9:18and you'll start to get so much more
9:20effortless power and accuracy to your
9:21shot so i really hope you enjoyed this
9:23give it a thumbs up if you did and
9:24please share it
9:25with one of your golfing friends or two
9:27that you think
9:28could benefit from a training license

9:32in the description box below you don't
9:34have to remember a thing i'll put
9:36a link in the description box below but
9:38until next week
