00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.380
In this concept video we're going to talk about setting the club or the second

2
00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:08.160
phase of the backswing. So we're going to assume that we've initiated our swing

3
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:13.040
with the turning of our spine using the extending side bending rotating model.

4
00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:17.800
Well the simple thing is the spine is just going to continue making the same

5
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:23.160
movements along with the pelvis. So you're going to continue doing this

6
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:31.360
extend side bend turn extend side bend turn until you would basically be almost

7
00:00:31.360 --> 00:00:36.720
vertical not quite about 40 degrees bent left and then rotated somewhere around

8
00:00:36.720 --> 00:00:41.080
90 degrees somewhere in there whatever your body is comfortable doing you'll

9
00:00:41.080 --> 00:00:45.640
you want to make sure that in this finished position your weight hasn't or

10
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.600
your movements haven't pushed you to the outside of the foot so if I faced here

11
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:55.160
and I did that again here's my setup then I stand up I side bend I rotate that

12
00:00:55.160 --> 00:00:59.400
creates my backswing you'll notice that this foot stays flat it didn't drift up

13
00:00:59.400 --> 00:01:03.600
to the outside that means that I'm kind of in this good loaded position and you

14
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.200
may feel some pressure in that right hip which a lot of players have

15
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:12.640
interpreted as a load okay so that covers the basics of what we need the spine

16
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:17.360
and the hips to do now let's talk about the arms they they have another job to

17
00:01:17.360 --> 00:01:22.680
do they want to bring the club kind of in preparation for what the arms need to

18
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:28.320
do during transition so during the the takeaway if you recall the arms did very

19
00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:33.760
very little during the second phase of the backswing you're going to have a

20
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:41.600
little bit of elevation just like so you're going to bend your right elbow and

21
00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:48.360
you're going to let your wrist cup just a little bit and you can even let your

22
00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:52.800
arm rotate in external rotation or you can let your hand rotate out but you

23
00:01:52.800 --> 00:01:56.760
want to keep your elbow more or less in front of your shoulder you'll get into

24
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:56.840
a

25
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.880
lot of trouble if you start getting this right elbow back too much behind your

26
00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:08.120
body unless you do a very nice transition the way Jack Nicholas or a Fred

27
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.280
couples has done it it can be a power source but it can also be a really big

28
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:20.250
cause of a cast movement so for argument sake I would say it's probably not

29
00:02:20.250 --> 00:02:21.000
worth

30
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:25.160
it unless you've been doing it for so long and have no problem making a good

31
00:02:25.160 --> 00:02:29.600
drop into delivery position from there so let's just rehearse just the arms so

32
00:02:29.600 --> 00:02:34.920
if we went just the arms they're basically going to go like so I asked

33
00:02:34.920 --> 00:02:40.520
people all the time to just bend that right elbow just bend that right arm and

34
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.680
let it rotate out and what usually ends up happening is both arms bend like

35
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:44.880
this

36
00:02:44.880 --> 00:02:50.520
so you want to practice bending that right arm without having a whole lot of

37
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:56.440
bend in the left arm the other last little piece is that this arm is going to

38
00:02:56.440 --> 00:03:03.960
rotate slightly palm away which gets the club more in line or pointed at the

39
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:08.720
target as opposed to if it rotated palm away you would get the club pointed

40
00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:15.840
more laid off as opposed to rotating it or pronating it rotating palm towards

41
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:21.040
you like so so it's a pretty simple movement with the spine you just keep

42
00:03:21.040 --> 00:03:24.160
that side bend moving it'll feel like your head stays pretty still and your

43
00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:29.200
shoulders point down towards the golf ball the arms are going to elevate and

44
00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:36.360
set and when you put them together they end up looking something like that

45
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:37.160
which

46
00:03:37.160 --> 00:03:40.920
is kind of that toward backswing position preparing you for what we're

47
00:03:40.920 --> 00:03:45.080
going to do dynamically during transition
