Why You Need This: Today, you'll discover "One Tip That Will Change Your Driving Forever"
Let's make this driver a whole heck of a lot easier where you set up over top of the golf ball and you just know you're going to hit one solid and right down the middle. Nice little draw on it. Well, there's one move that really is a game changer for almost all players that I see. And that's this right elbow move.
So when I make a swing, I want to think my body opens up in my elbow has tucked in the inside of this elbow, my club head is going to lag behind. That's what's going to get it in the slot here. So is that elbow starts to go forward. That drops the club in the slot. I'm on plane.
Everything's coming from the inside. Very easy to hit. Really nice consistent shots. So let's give it a whirl here. And then I got three different drills that are going to make this just very intuitive for you. Let's go and try it out There we go. That one could have felt much more solid. I mean, I feel like all I have to do is rotate through there and it's completely natural.
So first to get the feel for this, let's just take the the club in the right hand only. And what I'm feeling like when I make that swing as I'm feeling like my body is just opening up so I feel my left hip turning out of the way I was to go toward the camera like this. I'm feeling like my left hip clears out of the way.
And that's what brings the the arms and the shoulders forward. I'm feeling like my left shoulder has also clearing out of the way. Like, if you're going to skip a stone or throw a throw a ball sidearm, that's exact feeling. That you'd have. This is all clearing to bring the elbow in. And then my elbow or if you imagine that I had a little pointer sticking up for my elbow like this.
So if I'm looking at my elbow pit, this would be my hand facing inwards like this actual pit there. I want that facing upwards. That's called external rotation, the way that you can feel this. So you put your arm and been at 90 degrees, you go ahead and rotate your arm outward as far as you can. Most people can go a little farther than me get over here.
I just have a little bit limited shoulder flexibility. Now, from there, the inside of your elbow would now be facing the target. If we're standing in this direction, and if you imagine this is an arrow as I'm coming down, I want that arrow facing the target for as long as possible. So my body is opening up, but my inside of my elbow is facing the target.
If I do that toward the camera here, it will look just like this. So my body is clearing out of the way. But that elbow facing forward now, the wrist positions are really tricky when doing this for most players. So let me give you something that's really intuitive to get those wrist positions. If you have a Frisbee, a dinner plate, a paper plate doesn't really matter.
I'm just showing this to give the example. You don't have to do this, but if you get something like this, it makes it really easy. I just want the sporting goods store and pick this up just for this video. So if I'm throwing this Frisbee, if I was going to throw this Frisbee sidearm like that, I would naturally get in that wrist position.
So as I start to open up you'll see now less out of the body clears out of the way inside of the elbow is coming forward. But look at the Frisbee. I don't have flat wrists like this. I got the Frisbee angled back so that now as I come through, I can release the wrist and get that to go down the fairway or what would be down the fairway as I'm doing that now.
That's exactly what you want to feel. The golf swing wrist angle back inside of the elbow leading and then bam, you just let it release. There's a specific point that you release this in. Actually, I release that one too much down the fairway in golf, which you really want to do. If I'm swinging toward this golf ball in the ground, it's go ahead and just sit on the ground here.
For example, say, if I'm still going toward this golf ball, I actually want to have that elbow tucked club angled back and I'm going to release toward a golf ball about 45 degrees in front. So if I was to draw a line for my chest. 45 degrees this being vertical, zero degrees this be in parallel with the ground 90 degrees 45 degrees in front is about where I'm going to release it.
I actually studied over 50 major winners and measured in every single one of them averaged releasing up in front of the golf ball somewhere up in there they average between 20 and 50 degrees that range that was the range of their in and their average was 41 degrees in front so getting a little bit too wrapped up in the details there.
What that's really telling me is all these pros had this club lagging behind like that frisbee and they all release that club to where now the club angle didn't have an angle on my right wrist my right wrist is flat about 45 degrees in front. So if I had that Frisbee again I would be thinking about throwing that Frisbee right out toward this golf ball out in front.
I have another little device here. I'll give you the same idea. It's like a bricks in a baseball glove again. So always a sporting goods store. Thought this would be a great intuitive way to fill in this. So if I was going to lag behind, elbow in wrist back like that, I'm now going to go ahead and throw that in.
If I do that correctly, this will just shoot down and hit that golf ball. Now, I don't think I'm going to be able to do that, but that's a sensation that I feel like I'm going to have. I got lucky on my first throw there, but that's exactly what a golf swing is, letting that lag behind elbow in.
And then I'm releasing that out in front. Now, there's one final drill. If those haven't got it for you, this is really going to help because it's a lot of that and it depends on body rotation. Now, what I couldn't do is I couldn't throw out that direction if my body was close. So nobody would throw like this across their body with their hips and shoulders not opening.
A big key to making this work is clearing the body out of the way so you can get that elbow in and throw it out there. This final drill really helps with that. Now, what I can do is I'm going to set up with this club in front of my body. I'm going to stand straight up and down, and I'm going to go ahead and turn until this club will be kind of coming down in line with my right foot.
So I'm turning probably maybe 60 degrees this way. Does it make a big difference how far you go? But about like that Then from there, I'm going to go ahead and put this club on the ground. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to rotate my body now until that club squares up so you can see it's actually turning in.
So it's coming from the inside or what would be the slot. And as I rotate my body, that squares it up. So if we're looking from this direction, it will look like this. There's my club on the ground and then I'm going to turn my body. I'm rotating my hips and my shoulders to get that to be square or going down my target line.
Now I'm looking for face on again. Same thing. Put it on the ground, rotate the body left shoulder and left it clear out of the way, just like we were talking about. And now that squares it up where I'm in that same exact position that we were just working on with the Frisbee, with the golf, the baseball thing that breaks it in those are all three giving you the same feeling.
Now, once you tie that together, now, I want you to focus in on just that right elbow. This is going to be your swing key. Getting that toward the target as long as possible and then releasing the hand as it comes on through there. Let's go and give one a whirl again. You'll see I have a ton of leg.
I really have it's so easy to get the club in the slot when you're doing this, as you see from some slow motions. But this just makes it completely intuitive to get from the inside and make a good golf swing There we go. Really couldn't hit one much better than that. Right down the middle of the fairway. Now, what we're really talking about here is what I call the move in the top swing golf system.
So by tucking that elbow in and getting everything leading, I'm shallowing that club. Notice I want to tuck the elbow that club shells out Notice that comes from the inside comes from a slot that's kind of like this club being on the ground in me rotating it forward. And if you want to ingrain that forever, we have to have a system see, what's going to happen is you're going to watch this video, you're going to go out today, practice these drills are going to hit it.
Great, because it's just so much easier to hit it well when you're using your elbow the right way. But in a week or two, your body is going to get in your ear, maybe hit one or two bad shots and you start trying out different things and you're going to completely forget about this, to be honest. What's going to happen then is you go back and revert to the old ways and get off track.
What we need is a system that's going to get you to get that elbow in shallow out the club. And then most importantly, learn how to properly release the club from there. So it turns on over out into that straight line release position. And that's exactly what I do in the move section of the top speed golf system.
So go to the instruction tab, click on the TSG system, then click on the move and then work through the just a handful of videos there. Once you work through those videos, it's going to become so easy to get the club in the slot. It's going to become so easy to get this elbow in. But even better yet, I'm going to show you the right wrist angles and the right way to release the club to ensure that it's always going to turn over from right to left so that you can count on it.
So head on over to the move section now, and I challenge you to do one video for the move section. Do the drills we started here today. Now challenge you sometime in the next week. Do one video from the MOVE section. You're well on your way to ingrain that for a lifetime. Best of luck and I'll see you in the move
