It's moving your big muscles in your body correctly that makes the club go exactly where you want it to. Again you never try and route the club or do something active with your hands to get the club on plane or create lag. So, going back to the top, the other thing that it does, is as I shift my pelvis to the left, using my left leg to help pull me over, watch what happens to my axis tilt, my spine leans back further.Īs my spine leans back that shallows out the swing plane and that's what allows the club to drop down into what you call the proverbial slot. Lag is a by-product of doing other things correctly and the biggest one is shifting your weight back to the left during the transition. I don't even need to worry about creating lag. If I keep them relaxed, I'm gonna have more lag than I know what to do with. So, I go to the top of my swing, the club's going this way, my wrists are getting pulled back to the left by my weight shift and my wrists naturally down cock. So, I've got the club going one way toward the target and my hands are now being pulled back away from the target, if my wrists are soft, guess what's gonna happen, it's gonna make them bend. So, as I go to the top of my swing, the club's going back this way, and my weight shifting back to left using my left leg is gonna pull my hands back this way. If you can do that, all good things are gonna start to happen. So, of course they begin to cast the club, you gotta make sure that you still got a little bit of room in your wrist at the top to create a natural down cock, which is created when you shift your weight while keeping your wrists relaxed. Many golfers wanna set their wrist right away and create a ton of tension in their forearms and with the time they get to the top of the swing their wrists don't have anywhere else to go. If you do that, a couple things are gonna happen, one you're gonna create more lag, that's the Rotary Swing Thesis statement, is to create, maintain, and release lag. In fact, from the chest up, doesn't really need to do anything, you need to chill out and focus and prioritize shifting your weight. So, to go to the top of your swing, the key is that you wanna relax your arms, and hands and shoulders. That's how important weight shift really is. We don't worry about your position, your takeaway, or the back swing or impact, we make sure you shift your weight correctly first and then we worry about the rest of the swing. In fact, it's so important that my entire Rotary Swing Tour five step system, the first step is built around weight shift. If you wanna shift your weight back to the left, which of course you do, you have to, to build a proper downswing, then you need to prioritize shifting your weight. You're instantly going to feel it on that right foot and no matter what you tell your brain, no matter how good your intentions are of getting your weight back to the left, it's never gonna happen, because your priorities are in the wrong spot. Well, I'm creating force going this way, if you have a club right now, hop up, pick up the club, go to the top and pull your arms down as hard as you can and feel where you increase pressure. If I go to the top of my swing and I've shifted my weight to the right, let's say I'm 70-80 percent on the right side, I'm getting ready to go back to the left, and I pull my arms back down to the ball as hard as I can where does my weight go? We go to the top of our swing, we've got all our muscles loaded up and we just wanna fire and hit as hard as we can and unfortunately what it does is it actually makes it almost impossible to shift your weight and here's why. This hit instinct makes a ton of sense, it just doesn't work out. So, with the downswing, what most people do and where they make their mistake is they go to the top of the swing and they fire their arms as hard as they can from the top. So, listen up, because I'm going to show you just how important weight shift is and how to shift your weight so that you can build a proper downswing, get in the correct positions, create more lag, proper swing plane and a perfect impact position. All tour pros do it well, and almost all amateurs do it poorly. Shifting your weight back to the left is the most important fundamental that you must master. The reality is, is that for almost every amateur golfer on the planet, they struggle with one thing and one thing only, and that is weight shift. If you've struggled with building a proper downswing and trying to understand how to get into a proper downswing, listen up, because this video's going to completely change the way that you think about and understand how to sequence the golf swing.
