00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.920
Mril is the torso burner for hip rotation. So I've used ropes in different

2
00:00:06.920 --> 00:00:12.760
fashions for the last ten years or so, but in the last six months have come

3
00:00:12.760 --> 00:00:17.360
across the Mach 3 system by Mike Romatowski and I think it's got some

4
00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:21.360
really good carry-over. So when I do some of the drills and use some of the

5
00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:26.760
tools, I get some really good feels that are very similar to what I experience

6
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:31.360
when I hit golf balls and I've gotten my students to experience and and make

7
00:00:31.360 --> 00:00:36.360
changes on their own without having me to necessarily over coach. So one of the

8
00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:41.040
tools we're gonna use here is a shortened version of the torso burner. So the

9
00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:47.400
torso burner ideally is about a six feet or six foot long piece of PVC pipe. So

10
00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:54.480
this is only three feet. So imagine twice this long, but you can still get the

11
00:00:54.480 --> 00:01:01.640
same benefit from a shorter stick. It's just not quite as precise or you can't

12
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:05.440
narrow in the lower body quite as well. So what you're gonna do here is you're

13
00:01:05.440 --> 00:01:09.920
gonna take the pole and place it up against your hips and now if I if I

14
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:14.460
use hip rotation, then what you'll see is if I keep this up against my hips and

15
00:01:14.460 --> 00:01:14.520
I

16
00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:19.640
use hip rotation, I can create some ripples in the rope. I don't want to be

17
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:24.360
doing this just with my arms. I want to be using my legs against the ground.

18
00:01:24.360 --> 00:01:30.440
Now if you were to slow this down, you'll see that as I go to push, my lower

19
00:01:30.440 --> 00:01:30.640
body

20
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:35.770
is actually gonna sink into the ground. A lot of golfers who see on their

21
00:01:35.770 --> 00:01:36.200
swings

22
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:41.280
that they tend to kind of stand up, I'll usually comment in their video that

23
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:41.760
part

24
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.240
of the reason that they're standing up is they're not pushing against the

25
00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:44.600
ground.

26
00:01:44.600 --> 00:01:49.880
They're basically not using their lower body in a efficient way to create

27
00:01:49.880 --> 00:01:55.920
rotation. Well this tool here, if I'm holding it kind of wide just like this,

28
00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.680
you'll see that as I go back and forth and create some rotational speed from

29
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:05.680
my lower body, there's kind of a rhythm to my upper body dropping down and that

30
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:10.920
dropping down is to allow me to create some more friction so I can twist my

31
00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:16.050
lower body even better. Now doing this, I get kind of a similar feel,

32
00:02:16.050 --> 00:02:16.920
especially if

33
00:02:16.920 --> 00:02:21.480
I emphasize it more in the direction of the target, I get a similar feel to

34
00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:21.720
what

35
00:02:21.720 --> 00:02:25.760
it feels like after I've done the Jackson 5 and as I go in through the

36
00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:30.920
release. For some of you who may slide a lot, this would help you feel more

37
00:02:30.920 --> 00:02:35.120
centered or a little bit more of that bracing and first of some of you who

38
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:39.720
sway off the ball, if you did this more in the backswing direction, you might

39
00:02:39.720 --> 00:02:39.960
feel

40
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:45.980
more lower body rotation but you just take a long rope so this is about 50

41
00:02:45.980 --> 00:02:51.880
feet and I got a PVC pipe in the middle and I'm just going to get that torso or

42
00:02:51.880 --> 00:02:56.920
hip burn going by going back and forth for about 10 seconds. Next I'm going to

43
00:02:56.920 --> 00:03:01.320
take and place it across the shoulders and I'm going to try to get my torso to

44
00:03:01.320 --> 00:03:05.310
move from my hips and my lower body. So I'm basically trying to change, I'm

45
00:03:05.310 --> 00:03:05.440
going

46
00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:08.800
to do the exact same movement but I'm changing the anchor point by moving it

47
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:17.020
up. Only once I have a good feel of what I want my lower body to move like and

48
00:03:17.020 --> 00:03:21.700
my going to then transition into hitting some golf balls. So now I'm trying to

49
00:03:21.700 --> 00:03:27.380
kind of recall what it's like to turn that lower body and one of the great

50
00:03:27.380 --> 00:03:30.560
things about the rope is by going back and forth, it's very hard to have a

51
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:30.780
whole

52
00:03:30.780 --> 00:03:35.020
lot of early extension. If I do early extend, I'll tend to get some speed in

53
00:03:35.020 --> 00:03:39.400
one direction but I won't be centered enough to be able to recover for the

54
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:46.760
next rep. So now I've got the feeling of the lower body rotating and I'm going

55
00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:46.840
to

56
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:56.920
try to apply that feel midway in the downswing. So kind of like so and I get a

57
00:03:56.920 --> 00:04:00.800
good sense of using the ground in the same way. If you struggle with a little

58
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:05.420
bit more of an upper body swing, grab a PVC pipe and a rope and that will help

59
00:04:05.420 --> 00:04:11.060
you learn how to activate, push, and use your lower body in the correct way to

60
00:04:11.060 --> 00:04:15.400
create some rotational speed for your stock swing.

61
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:32.800
You
