0:33increasingly seeing

0:46big big difference to your overall

1:03enjoy the golf lesson
1:04there's a free practice plan in the
1:06description box below complete for free
1:08just download it and take it to the
1:10driving range
1:12right so let's get stuck into this what
1:13is this one big
1:15thing it is super super simple all it is
1:18is is your ability to complete your turn
1:22and that is what we did with andrew we
1:25improved his
1:26ability to complete his term what do i
1:27mean by that
1:29this lead shoulder needs to have the
1:32ability
1:33to complete its turn its cycle
1:36around the body to a position wherever
1:39you can physically get to
1:41now you might find that you're you've
1:42got lack of flexibility and you can only
1:44swing
1:45to about this height that is fine but
1:47this lead shoulder
1:48needs to have completed its maximum
1:50cycle for you to achieve your maximum
1:52energy
1:53and more importantly accuracy okay
1:57if you have more flexible you can keep
1:59traveling this sleek shoulder
2:00now what does it do well look if you've
2:03wound up here you've stored energy
2:05but the other thing it allows you to do
2:06when this leech oil is able to get
2:08around
2:09it allows if you've just pivoted on the
2:11way back you can now simply
2:13pivot beautifully on the way down and
2:14just repeat it and that's it's accurate
2:16but here's what i see and this is what i
2:18saw with andrew
2:20this leech holder didn't move at all so
2:22what happened was is this
2:24the club would simply just pick up in
2:26the air
2:28and from here because this lead shoulder
2:30hadn't got around
2:31the club never got around here so all he
2:33did was then throw the arms at it and
2:35would either hit the ball miles left or
2:37put a big slice on it
2:39i see other golfers who don't move this
2:40leaf shoulder they don't pick it up
2:42but it's still an armsy swing they swing
2:44with their hands and the rams around
2:46their body
2:46now the club comes around here then the
2:49club's stuck behind
2:50them they then sling over the top and
2:52then they slice it
2:53i see golfers swinging you might be one
2:55of these
2:56hooks the ball picks the club up and
2:58then drops it inside
3:00again all because they're having to rely
3:02just on their hands and their
3:04arms but if this lead shoulder can move
3:07we can pivot in a simple arc back look
3:11and look on the way down we can simply
3:13pivot on the way through because you've
3:14created
3:15that simple pivot but
3:19with andrew he couldn't do this
3:22he cited his age he was 65 years old
3:24inside his age and a lack of flexibility
3:26but it wasn't that
3:27he had locked his body he'd locked his
3:30legs he'd locked his torso and he'd
3:32locked his head
3:33and in locking all those three parts he
3:35wasn't able to make
3:36a move and i see this a lot so what i'm
3:38going to share with you right now and
3:39help you with this is how you unlock
3:40each little section very simply the
3:43lower section here
3:45let's start unlocking this this is what
3:46we did with with andrew here
3:48i want you here to unlock the lower
3:51section i need you when you pivot
3:53when you're turning here i need your
3:54lead knee to start to point inwards
3:57towards the golf ball i need your trail
3:59leg to actually
4:00extend this way look at this it
4:03straightens a little bit here
4:05it doesn't go into reverse pivot so it
4:07might be oh it's not going to revert
4:08but no this is providing space it's
4:12unlocking look this section
4:15if you don't unlock this section you
4:17don't unlock the torso
4:18if you don't unlock the torso the
4:21shoulder's locked
4:22it's just going to be your hands and
4:23your arms just get the sensation look of
4:26unlocking
4:26this lower section here okay
4:30leading lead knees going in trail leg is
4:33actually
4:34extending here very very simple all
4:36right
4:37sometimes what you could do is a bit of
4:38feedback nice and simple
4:41just grab this on a wall i just grab an
4:43old lyman stick put it
4:44on your back side here i'll do it from
4:46this side and watch here
4:48i'm going to let my this starts to slide
4:51this
4:52butt cheek here starts to slide this way
4:54wiping
4:56the alignment stick this is providing
4:58space look
4:59for me to naturally turn and unlock the
5:03lower body it's as simple as that now if
5:05this is new to you
5:06what i would suggest you do is hit some
5:08golf balls doing it so
5:09don't worry about anything else at this
5:10stage just simply practice
5:13getting this lead uh knee in you might
5:15find it might be helpful to lift your
5:17lead heel off the ground as well that
5:18would be nice to get a lot of places
5:20that really helps
5:21just literally unlock that lower part of
5:24the body now i would do this i'd go
5:26pause feel what it's like get yourself
5:29set
5:29and then hit a few shots
5:33okay nothing more complicated than that
5:36lit just simply just
5:37place some balls up there unlocking that
5:40lower section
5:41once you've done that and that's
5:42starting to unlock it's now time
5:45to unlock the torso
5:48now the toss is very very simple again
5:50what i'm see
5:51what i see when people are unlocking are
5:54blocking the torso
5:55this comes from the mindset of
5:57everything's got to be
5:59still okay so in order to unlock the
6:02torso
6:03we don't want to be kind of staring at
6:05the golf ball we want to allow ourselves
6:07to move
6:08so this lit the torso now look at this
6:10the torso
6:11tilts it doesn't turn look we don't turn
6:14like this in golf
6:16we have a tilt so now as you've kind of
6:19in a sense
6:20got some right leg stack to straighten
6:22and extend here
6:23this is going to provide space look for
6:25this lead shoulder to go
6:27down and across and now look my literals
6:31moving it's
6:32able to travel because if you unblocked
6:34this section here
6:35so suddenly now i'm able to go around
6:39the club now is working naturally
6:40upwards because i'm working
6:42the shoulders on this line i've
6:44unblocked
6:46the torso so again how do you transfer
6:48that into the golf swing
6:50one simple thing i like one exercise i
6:52love by the way to kind of feel this
6:54is this to reverse overlap
6:57the grip so i literally swap your hands
6:59around so
7:00i've now got my um my bottom hand at the
7:03top of my
7:04top hand at the bottom and all i'm gonna
7:06do here is make a few swings and it will
7:09get you the sensation
7:10of this sec this lead shoulder naturally
7:13working into a tilt
7:15combine that with the legs you can
7:17actually hit golf balls doing this
7:19i'd warn you it's pretty tricky but it
7:21gives you a great feeling look
7:23of how this is moving away look at how
7:25far
7:26this leaf shoulder now is able to travel
7:29it's a great way of feeling it
7:31so try that the third and final thing
7:35to unlock this is i'm gonna grab a cap
7:38two seconds
7:40so let's grab my cap here
7:44third and final thing is your cap
7:47allowing your cat look here to move so
7:51where's my cap line now it's pointing in
7:53this direction
7:54one thing that andrew said to me said
7:55look i you're supposed to keep your head
7:58still
7:59and i don't know where this advice came
8:01from but if you keep your head still
8:02you lock your neck if you lock your neck
8:04you lock your torso
8:06allowing this freedom for it to move is
8:08so so important
8:10but as with andrew at the start it feels
8:12a bit out of control so you're gonna
8:14have to go with it
8:15so we get ourselves set here we've
8:17unlocked the lower section we're now
8:18starting to unlock
8:20the torso and we're unlocking that cap
8:22here just allowing
8:24freedom look look how far the lead
8:26shoulder now has
8:27traveled across and we've stored an
8:30energy now we can just simply pivot
8:32through that shot let's have a look at
8:33this in action
8:42a little bit hooky that one came a bit
8:44out of the toe
8:47but all i would do when you're doing
8:49this is
8:50completely forget about what the ball
8:51goes to start with as i said to andrew
8:53build a system with this
8:54feel what it's like and this is all we
8:56did we built a system for android where
8:58you could take to a golf course so we
8:59said look
8:59what you do you get yourself set
9:03feel it go back
9:06then hit the show
9:20simple as that you simply just keep
9:23repeating the shot i've got a little
9:24hybrid here this works by the way for
9:26driver
9:26any of the clubs in your bag just simply
9:29get yourself set each time
9:31working on just building the system up
9:34i'm unlocking my lower body
9:35i'm unlocking my torso i'm unlocking
9:37this head everything's unlocking to get
9:39that lead shoulder
9:40back around to complete my turn
9:47and away we go so in summary
9:50the simple adjustment you need to make
9:53you must unlock
9:54the lead shoulder why it needs to get
9:58around so we can store energy we've got
10:00some energy to unwind
10:02two it needs to get around because if we
10:04go around we pivoted if we pivoted one
10:06way it makes the pivot
10:07easier also on the way through how do
10:09you do this
10:11unlock the lower body first allow the
10:14lead knee to naturally
10:16flow in towards the golf ball if you
10:18have to leave let your
10:19lead heel come up do it it feels out of
10:22control
10:22andrew didn't like that initially
10:23because it feels completely out of
10:25control very old-fashioned maybe
10:26sometimes
10:27he said but there get it in allow your
10:30trail leg to naturally straighten a
10:32little bit this provides
10:33space for you to come around second
10:36thing here
10:38your shoulders make sure they go into a
10:39tilt they don't go into a turn
10:42if they go into a tilt you'll easily be
10:44able to complete your swing
10:46again not putting pressure on that body
10:48and third and finally allow your head
10:51your cap here is a good guide allow it
10:53to turn over this section here
10:55so it's pointing over there and now
10:57we're in a position
10:58to create a lot more space for that lead
11:00shoulder to get around
11:02we can store that energy we can deliver
11:04that club
11:05back into that golf ball so i really
11:07really hope you enjoyed this training if
11:08you did make sure to give it a thumbs up
