Chest Turning Through The Ball
Proper sequencing is important for creating speed, but also for getting a repeatable path and consistent contact. A lot of golfers stall their body by standing up near impact. This does a great job of helping close the face, but makes it hard to have the bottom of the swing out in front of the ball. Learning to turn your chest through the ball is a good compliment to the motorcycle and the release.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.960
This drill is chess turning through the ball, so while you're working on your
2
00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:08.360
release and you're working on what the arms do, we want to talk a little bit
3
00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:11.720
about what the body is going to do during this release and how it gets to
4
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:15.800
this follow-through position. So one of the interesting things that I see on 3D
5
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:22.400
is that with more accomplished players or good golfers, tour golfers, you know,
6
00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:29.040
plus handicap type, you will tend to see that the chest is turning faster than
7
00:00:29.040 --> 00:00:29.120
the
8
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:33.440
arms through the golf ball. So there's a couple of reasons that I think this is
9
00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:39.040
happening. Basically, that lead arm is going to be transferring and rotating
10
00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:39.320
kind
11
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:44.520
of like this and so as this shoulder is rotating and as the arm is rotating,
12
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:44.960
you'll
13
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.840
tend to actually see this shoulder work a little bit more back in towards the
14
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:54.200
golf ball. That combined with the upper body continuing to rotate and
15
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:54.920
continuing
16
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:59.000
to side bend is going to give this appearance. So one of the ways that I like
17
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:05.280
to work on that is doing 9 to 3 shots and trying to feel like the upper body
18
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:13.880
doesn't finish rotating until the golf ball lands. Now you will feel that when
19
00:01:13.880 --> 00:01:17.920
your arms are extending out, you'll feel like your arms are continuing to move
20
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:18.720
but
21
00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:22.840
you may feel like they're not really pulling across your body quite as much as
22
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:28.520
say they do during that movement from transition into the release or as we
23
00:01:28.520 --> 00:01:36.400
get into this white movement. So essentially what's going to happen is a
24
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:45.020
beetle. You don't want to hurt him. So essentially what's going to happen is I
25
00:01:45.020 --> 00:01:45.400
'm
26
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:52.680
going to continue rotating as my arms do their thing. The time when you'll
27
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:57.720
struggle with this and why I think most good players do it is what's going to
28
00:01:57.720 --> 00:02:02.280
stop me from rotating and continue my arm speed is going to be if I were to
29
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.680
stand up. So if I were to stand up kind of like so during the shot, you'll see
30
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:06.840
my
31
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:12.400
upper body stalls its rotational and side bend movement as my arms continue to
32
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:21.480
work across. In a good efficient release, what you'll tend to see is that that
33
00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:26.040
upper body is going to continue to stay kind of down as it's rotating through
34
00:02:26.040 --> 00:02:30.720
or it's going to continue side bending and extending kind of like so. So this
35
00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:30.880
is
36
00:02:30.880 --> 00:02:36.160
just an area to focus on when you're doing nine to three shots focusing on
37
00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:41.680
that body continuing to rotate until the golf ball is almost landing or well on
38
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:45.960
its way down the fairway. If you find that you're stopping pretty much as you
39
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:46.000
're
40
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.480
hitting impact, there's a very good chance that you're standing up or freezing
41
00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:53.400
your upper body or stalling or some of the words that people have used in the
42
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.160
past. So to make sure that you're in good posture alignment you can use this
43
00:02:58.160 --> 00:03:03.080
turn of the upper body through the release as one of your key points to
44
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.640

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:45.020
beetle. You don't want to hurt him. So essentially what's going to happen is I
25
00:01:45.020 --> 00:01:45.400
'm
26
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:52.680
going to continue rotating as my arms do their thing. The time when you'll
27
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:57.720
struggle with this and why I think most good players do it is what's going to
28
00:01:57.720 --> 00:02:02.280
stop me from rotating and continue my arm speed is going to be if I were to
29
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.680
stand up. So if I were to stand up kind of like so during the shot, you'll see
30
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:06.840
my
31
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:12.400
upper body stalls its rotational and side bend movement as my arms continue to
32
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:21.480
work across. In a good efficient release, what you'll tend to see is that that
33
00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:26.040
upper body is going to continue to stay kind of down as it's rotating through
34
00:02:26.040 --> 00:02:30.720
or it's going to continue side bending and extending kind of like so. So this
35
00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:30.880
is
36
00:02:30.880 --> 00:02:36.160
just an area to focus on when you're doing nine to three shots focusing on
37
00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:41.680
that body continuing to rotate until the golf ball is almost landing or well on
38
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:45.960
its way down the fairway. If you find that you're stopping pretty much as you
39
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:46.000
're
40
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.480
hitting impact, there's a very good chance that you're standing up or freezing
41
00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:53.400
your upper body or stalling or some of the words that people have used in the
42
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.160
past. So to make sure that you're in good posture alignment you can use this
43
00:02:58.160 --> 00:03:03.080
turn of the upper body through the release as one of your key points to
44
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.640
focus on during nine to three drills.
