00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
video is monitoring right side bend for the full swing. So monitoring right side bend

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
can be helpful for those of you who either don't have enough or have too much or

00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
getting it from the wrong place. So not all right side bend is created equal.

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
I mean you view simple way to feel whether you're getting it from your hips or

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000
you're getting it more from your spine. So the simple way to feel it I'm going to

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
put the club down here for a second is if you take your hands and you hold

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000
them kind of in the low-high symbol right now we're going to take our thumbs

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
and place them on the bottom of our ribs so you can just kind of poke around until you

00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
feel the bottom of your ribs and then take your pinkies and place it on the top of

00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000
your pelvis or kind of like your ASIS. So now if I was to right side bend or left side bend

00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,000
I can feel kind of a crunching action and a lengthening action so I can feel some

00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:02,000
change there versus if I was to tilt from the hips I can feel that this

00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,000
relationships, they's pretty much the same but I can create a pretty good amount of

00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,000
side bend just by going through the hips as opposed to keeping the hips level

00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:19,000
and going through the spine. So there are two common places where you can go into

00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,000
more of a spine side bend and not the hips and you want to kind of monitor it if you're

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
working on your access tilt especially if you start to get some lower back pain.

00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000
So the two common places would be in transition and in the follow-through.

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:40,000
So what I'll do is from down the line you'll be able to see I'm going to have a

00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
little bit of left side bend as I go towards the top of the swing but then as I go

00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,000
into transition I'm going to basically keep that left side bend and not let that

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:57,000
right side get too low until I get into my release. So here's that transition move

00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:04,000
where I'm having it more from the hips as opposed to having it all from the spine

00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,000
from the face on view that I'll look like this if I do it more from the hips it

00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,000
will look kind of like that if I do it more from the spine it will kind of look like

00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
that and it will look a little bit more upper body dominant. The other option or the other

00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:27,000
place to kind of key in on is when I go through the follow-through making sure that I'm getting

00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:34,000
in some of the side bend through the hips. If the hips stay pretty level and then I get

00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:41,000
all the side bend through the spine that can be problematic for a lot of golfers. Both in terms

00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:48,000
of usually accompanied by a little bit more of kind of that role release and creating some crunch

00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,000
factor in the right side lower back. So making sure that when I get into that good follow-through

00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:03,000
position that I've got some crunch in the spine but nowhere near my maximum. So I like to say that

00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:11,000
if your maximum is let's say 60 degrees or something like that, Tor pros that impact are going

00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,000
to be somewhere in the 20 to 30 range and then when they reach their maximum, it will be somewhere

00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,000
around 40. They're not really going to approach their end range of motion for this side

00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,000
bend movement of the spine. The way they do that is by getting some of the tilt from the pelvis

00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,000
and some of the tilt from the spine and that ends up creating more of a look like so where I'm kind

00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:39,000
of sitting in my pelvis as opposed to this which would be sitting more in my lower back. So if you're

00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:46,000
struggling with getting some of this access tilt from too much spine side bend, use your thumb

00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,000
and index finger kind of do some homework where you can put in 10, 20, 30 repetitions at a time,

00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:58,000
just kind of really feeling this and as you put in more and more you'll get more comfortable

00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,000
getting into that movement. Once you're comfortable in that movement you can do whether it's transition,

00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:11,000
you could do pump drills or if it's through the release you can do nine to three siled drills. You can figure out why your body

00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:20,000
would be trying to avoid that movement is it because of contact and path or is it because I can't control my low point.

00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:29,000
That's the investigation part of this whole procedure but know that we don't want to create maximum spine

00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:35,000
men. We want some of that men coming from the pelvis and some of it coming from the spine and you can check that in a few key places

00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
using the low-hot thumb and pinky.
