today we're going to talk about a grave myths
teaching in the game of golf I'm going after it not messing around let's go
this video we're talking about rotation or don't rotate what what is it
do you wrote some people say rotate and some people say you need to not rotate
but it's a back and forth motion and and then you just kind of stop stop your
hands and let that Club speed up like this to create massive amounts of speed
what is it what's correct I'll tell you I'm a rotation guy that's for sure and I
think the stop and let that catch-up is going to destroy your life and we're
gonna fix it right now because if you don't rotate you can't survive out here
and that's a fact of life today's video is brought to you by swing
caddy SC 300 portable launch monitor just set this behind your ball wherever
you go start swinging and see stats such as
carry ball speed swing speed smash factor launch angle apex and so much
more it is also super accurate with your
driver you can see how you hit every single shot in the bag the swing caddy
SC 300 be sure to check the link in the description below for a special discount
just for you okay I have a little visual aid for us I'm use in a second so some
people say it's not rotation it's a back straight back straight through right
straight back straight through straight back that's ridiculous
okay it's absolutely ridiculous and if somebody says that you need to run away
here is why my hips there it's a rounded formation here right similar to let's
say a water bottle and the top are my hips if I want to get the top
on and off I can't go straight back this is never going to get the top off
straight back straight through look you have to turn it turn it it's not
straight back it's turning it's a rotation my hips are basically the same
shape as that dang water bottle so I can't go straight back and straight
through that's this that's ridiculous one is going back and one is going
forward one is going back and one is going
forward just like this but it's not going forward it's rotating around your
body around your pelvis around your life okay everything is in a rotational
manner that's why you can't think straight back straight forward because
you'll do this you have a swing that looks nobody nobody swings like that
so to even think that will cause you to get in so much trouble and it will force
you and make your brain think okay I got it I'm gonna go straight back and you'll
extend your legs like this this will happen and you'll flip that club now if
you're somebody that wants to flip the club and have a ton of hand motion like
this then do that can you create a ton of club head speed by snapping and
stopping and then letting this do that yes you can't create a lot of club head
speed but your consistency you might as well throw it out the window because
that is exactly what's going to happen if that's the type of mental thought you
want to have but when I'm here and I'm rotating around and then my hands
release out there it's releasing toward the target everything is getting synced
up on plane and you will have much more consistency than doing anything like
that and that my friends is what will get your whole golf game in trouble you
need the rotation we need rotation in here not stopping and this
you're gonna have a not lockjaw I call it lock legs you look like this
this is a non rotational swing this is the back and forth thought is that what
you want to look like I don't think so we need to be set on rotation and and
and there's more to it than just than just this okay so here's what happens
when you have the mind thought of your straight back and straight through type
of motion with your body right what you know obviously you're losing your spine
angle when you do that instead of keeping it and turning around I mean so
some people might not consciously think I'm rotating my hips but in reality
that's what they're doing whether they think it or not it doesn't matter what
you do is what matters but if you thinking no I'm just going straight back
and I'm gonna slow my hands down and let that Club whip through and create
massive amounts of speed all of that that mine thought is going to translate
into the short game and you're going to do the same thing and slow your hands
down and do stuff like that where you chunk it or you're gonna zing that ball
way across the planet so you don't want stuff like that to infect and poison
your short game because this is where all the strokes are rotation in your
short game again you're gonna have so much more consistency on these little
types of shots and you're gonna be able to control them so much better because
you're gonna come through the shot but if you start whatever you do in your
long game it infects your short game so if you have bad habits there forget it
you have no chance here that's why when I hear like it's a straight back
straight through motion I'm like oh that's going to come over here and
destroy your whole life in the short game we need rotation here without
rotation there's no hope for you there's no hope you're gonna stop and flip
and get all kinds of you know wicked hand motion through here little rotation
is really gonna help your life in your short game and you can control the shots
I'm gonna roll right next to the hole so stop thinking don't rotate you have to
think rotate all I want is what's best for us to get better to be consistent
I'm just here to help comment below let me know what you like to think about
your golf swing hopefully it has something to do with a turning motion
love you guys good luck see in the next video
