00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.320
So this drill is called spine side tilt and it's really helping you understand
2
00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:05.540
the
3
00:00:05.540 --> 00:00:10.280
call the side of the axis tilt in the golf swing
4
00:00:10.280 --> 00:00:15.970
Which is basically if my spine is vertical like so and then I work to tilt my
5
00:00:15.970 --> 00:00:16.580
pelvis
6
00:00:16.580 --> 00:00:21.490
So that my spine is tilting over here. Well, that's kind of my side tilt or my
7
00:00:21.490 --> 00:00:22.800
axis tilt at setup
8
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:27.040
That is going to change a lot throughout the golf swing
9
00:00:27.040 --> 00:00:30.600
I mean your spine angles are going to change a lot throughout the golf swing
10
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:35.700
So you may hear that with a driver you need to set up so that you're behind the
11
00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:36.420
ball and then
12
00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:39.520
With a wedge you're gonna set up so that you're more on top of it
13
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:40.580
And that's true
14
00:00:40.580 --> 00:00:44.080
But the the reason we're doing it is not because of what the spine's doing
15
00:00:44.080 --> 00:00:48.610
The reason is because we want to get that pelvic tilt or side tilt in a certain
16
00:00:48.610 --> 00:00:49.240
orientation
17
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:53.160
So if you were to get into your good setup posture
18
00:00:54.160 --> 00:00:57.020
Right with your stance with the hip hinge
19
00:00:57.020 --> 00:01:02.200
If you were to then shift your hips forward just like so while maintaining the
20
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:03.680
same position with your upper body
21
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:08.080
This would be more of the side axis tilt that we'd be looking for for a driver
22
00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:10.800
If you were to hinge forward and basically stay
23
00:01:10.800 --> 00:01:15.000
You know a little bit more on top of the ball. This is what we'd be looking for
24
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.160
a iron
25
00:01:16.160 --> 00:01:20.180
so it's just helping you understand because as
26
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:24.360
You'll learn in the backswing video the spine is actually going to side tilt
27
00:01:24.360 --> 00:01:25.720
left the entire backswing
28
00:01:25.720 --> 00:01:29.020
So it doesn't really matter too much. How much you tilt it to the right?
29
00:01:29.020 --> 00:01:33.800
At the setup. I know that might sound a little overhead for some of you
30
00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:37.970
But for some of you it might clear things up that all we're really trying to do
31
00:01:37.970 --> 00:01:39.740
is get the right angle with the pelvis
32
00:01:39.740 --> 00:01:44.200
Once you have that you're gonna swing kind of the the way that you're trying to
33
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:45.640
do for that specific shot
34
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:50.440
So don't get overly complicated with how much spine tilt you have
35
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:54.680
worry more about what the angle of the pelvis is and you'll be better served.
