Improve Your Lateral Pelvis Movement for Better Transition

After this video, you'll be able to:

  • Feel the correct lateral shift of your pelvis without upper body rotation
  • Understand how to transition smoothly from the top of your swing
  • Practice a quick lateral movement that sets up a more effective downswing

In this video, you'll learn the Jackson 5 drill to enhance your lateral pelvis movement during the transition phase of your swing. This crucial skill helps you achieve a better angle of attack and improves your overall ball flight.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.440
This drill is the Jackson 5 drill and this is the work on the lateral movement

2
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:05.960
of the pelvis during transition

3
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:11.210
So you're going to take the club and you're going to place it across your pel

4
00:00:11.210 --> 00:00:11.600
vis

5
00:00:11.600 --> 00:00:13.880
If you remember we found how to find your hip joints

6
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:17.540
So you're going to put it across your hip joints and then what you're going to

7
00:00:17.540 --> 00:00:19.040
do is without rotating

8
00:00:19.040 --> 00:00:25.680
You're going to slide your pelvis so that this hip joint is pretty much over

9
00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:26.960
the lead foot

10
00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:31.220
Now when you do that you're not going to let your upper body go with it

11
00:00:31.220 --> 00:00:36.080
If you need a feedback on that you can either have someone hold a club here as

12
00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:37.040
you practice it

13
00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:40.780
Or you can put your head near the corner of a wall. So if the wall was right

14
00:00:40.780 --> 00:00:41.080
here

15
00:00:41.080 --> 00:00:44.740
Here's the corner. I could practice working on this lateral movement without my

16
00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:45.520
head going forward

17
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.480
But this lateral movement is going to happen during this first transition phase

18
00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:56.330
Which is from the top of the swing that lateral movement is going to happen

19
00:00:56.330 --> 00:00:58.900
before that left arm is about parallel to the ground

20
00:00:58.900 --> 00:01:02.360
So it happens very very quickly. It's about a four to five inch shift over to

21
00:01:02.360 --> 00:01:03.600
the left foot

22
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.300
right away before you start rotating so

23
00:01:07.300 --> 00:01:12.440
what a lot of amateur golfers do is they go to the top of the swing and without

24
00:01:12.440 --> 00:01:15.000
shifting they're going to spin and

25
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.440
Start rotating right away

26
00:01:17.440 --> 00:01:22.100
This shift is what helps us have a shallow angle of tack and hit a draw as you

27
00:01:22.100 --> 00:01:25.080
'll learn and as you may have learned in the ball flight videos

28
00:01:25.080 --> 00:01:29.520
So the Jackson 5 move is just practicing this little bump

29
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:34.070
Right call it the Jackson 5 drill because one of my students who was a dance

30
00:01:34.070 --> 00:01:35.280
instructor said that

31
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.320
It was kind of like that old Motown move the backup dancers would do

32
00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:42.560
So you can go to the top of your swing after you've practiced this enough

33
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.410
You can go to the top of your swing holding the club like you did in the merry-

34
00:01:46.410 --> 00:01:47.000
go-round drill

35
00:01:47.440 --> 00:01:51.180
And then you do the Jackson 5 and then you do the merry-go-round

36
00:01:51.180 --> 00:01:55.170
So this is now working from the top of the swing down working from transition

37
00:01:55.170 --> 00:01:57.800
down and we're going to start with this lateral movement

38
00:01:57.800 --> 00:01:59.800
We call it the Jackson 5
