Now if you're having trouble staying down in your posture through contact, rather than kind of standing up outta your posture, I got a pretty surprising thing that I'm gonna show you here if you wanna stay in your posture. It's not about hinging forward like this or having your body tilt forward. It's actually about having your body tilt this way.

So to the right, which would be right side bend, and then just a little. So this is me staying in my posture in the golf swing. I know it sounds crazy, but I'm, I'm gonna walk you through it step by step here. So what's going on? If I get into a good impact position, I'm in my posture, my hips are open, they're about 45 degrees open, and my body is tilted to the right.

So let me, I'll get into impact and I'll kind of reverse it from there. Back out of it, and I'll show you. So there's my good impact position. If I go ahead and turn my hips back square. To the, to the camera. Now, you'll see how this is a lot of right side bend and just a little bit forward. So this is staying in posture in the golf swing.

Once you open your hips, now all of a sudden that's there. So again, if I'm just looking at that from this face on view, it's a little bit bending forward like this, but we'll get to that second. The first piece of it is, it's a lot of right side. So my right shoulder feels like it tucks down much lower than my left.

I feel like my elbow, as it's resting is kind of halfway up. I almost wanna slide my right elbow down until it's at my belt buckle here. And then from there I'm gonna go ahead and bend forward just slightly. And I'm way over here. So my shoulders are pointing to the right, my right shoulder's, way lower.

My shoulders should be about 45 degrees to the right so that when I open my hips up 45 degrees. My shoulders are now square. So it's that right bend that's really the culprit. So let me lead you through a series of drills. It's gonna make this very, very easy. The first one's my favorite. I'd play golf like this all the time if I could.

You just won't get your full distance like this, but man, it feels amazing. It's gonna train you to get great impact. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go ahead and set up this golf ball. I'm gonna put my feet about a club head width. The. And I'm gonna face them forward about 45 degrees. So I'm basically presetting my hips to be facing the, where they would be at impact.

Both of my toes are in line with each other. Both of 'em are facing forward like this. If I look at my ball position, ball off the pinky toe of the right foot, and if I drop back my left or my right foot, you can see it's kind of going toward about here in my left foot. You'd have a great angle from that there.

So that's my ball. Feet close together. And then from there, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go ahead and set this golf club up with a lot of shaft lane, which is a big part of hitting the golf ball. Great. So if I get in this right side bin and rotate forward, that's gonna get my hands way in front, which is what the pros are doing, and you're gonna hit it a heck of a lot more solid.

So I'm gonna do that. Lean the shas forward. Now a big mistake people make from here, don't lift this club up out like this. Don't let it go. Bring it from the inside. Still try to hit a nice little draw as you're doing this. So from the inside, turning it over. And we're just gonna start out with a little tiny little 50, 60 yard shot.

There we go. And that was hit. Great, man. You just could press these so. Well, I mean, I love hitting these shots. It's probably one of the best drills ever because it forces you into some really good things. It forces you to open the hips. I mean, you're not gonna close the hips from here. They're already. It also forces you if I'm just gonna be able to reach that golf ball.

Imagine I don't get into side bend now, I can't even reach the ball, so I have to bend this way to be even able to reach it and get that shaline that I want. So lemme go ahead and swing a little harder on this one. And again, what I'm feeling a lot of is I'm feeling this right elbow slide down my side and go more toward my belt buckle here, or my belt side belt.

Slides down the seam of my shirt. So as I, as I swing, that's what I'm feeling as I'm hitting these shots. So I'll go ahead and try another one. And it just forces you to do that. And if you hit a couple shots like that, that are almost just barely drawing, I would prefer to get you to go even more inside out and really overexaggerate the draw aspect of this.

That way we don't just open our body up and start chopping over the top. I wanna still come from the inside as I'm doing. Yeah, those just feel great. Again, it doesn't matter how far you're hitting them, that's about as far as I'm gonna hit one doing this drill, 150 yards of the seven iron, but that's plenty far for what we're doing here.

That gets you the feeling of two things. Your hips are gonna open up there. Your shaft lean is gonna automatically be in front because where your hips go forward, it wants to push the shaft up there. And then if you just get a little right side bend, you're, you're in great position there. Now let me go ahead and build this right side bend and then one other way.

The guarantees you'll stay in your posture. We're gonna go ahead and preset the club about 45 degrees to the right, just like this. So this will be toward the camera. I'm going 45 degrees this way, and what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna get in all the side bin that I can until I go ahead and have my right elbow against my belt buckle.

It's way down there, right? This is about where I wanna be at impact. This is the feeling I wanna have. From there, I'm just gonna bend forward, so I'm gonna set up like I normally. Position wise from the golf ball, I'm gonna do this. To get in that position, I'm gonna bend forward and I'm gonna rotate my hips until that's where, where I'm trying to feel like I am from impact.

You'll notice that you feel like your right ear is on the ground. If you're used to standing up and flipping, when you do this drill, like I just said, you're gonna feel like the right side of your head is on the golf ball. It's just a wild feeling, especially if you're not used to getting that side bin and staying in your.

So fill that a few times just to get in that good impact position. And then from there, we're gonna have the same feeling that we did in that 40 feet, 45 degree open. But now we're just gonna have to use our legs a little bit more to get us there. So right heel can come off the ground. My knees kind of swivel forward, and now all of a sudden I can get my hips open.

And get in that right side bin. So I've trained hips opening separately. I've trained right side bins separately by going through this little drill so I can fill both of them. Now I'm just putting both those fills together and you'll be able to easily stay in your posture. Here we go. Not gonna hit one.

A whole heck of a lot better than that. Starting to wanna draw back just a little bit. 1 93 with a seven iron. Definitely really happy. Again, if I wanna stay down in my posture even more, get more shaline, make the ball go even a little bit lower. So this one I'm gonna go ahead and get more right Then more shaline, and you'll see the apex will be a little bit lower on this one.

I'm just exaggerating the feelings that we just had by opening the hips and getting that right side in. And that is solid there. I mean, that one is 1 99 with a seven iron. You saw the ball flight came down. The height of it is a little bit lower. That this means the hands got in front and I stayed my posture even better.

Now, if you're a member of Top Speed Golf, there's something I want you to pair this up with. It's our 20 minute Showering Fix program, and what this is is it talks about how to shower this club out and get it from the inside, and then as we rotate through, everything is gonna be fantastic. You see, that's a mistake that many people.

You wanna stay in posture, you want to open your body more, but you're steep to start the downswing. So when you stay in your posture and you rotate your body, all of a sudden you're chopping down well, being a good athlete like you are, just, everybody has the natural athleticism to realize that that's not gonna work.

So you'll tend to stand up outta your posture and flip to get that club squared up. So to solve this, the very best thing to do is a single practice session. There's several video. You can do it all in a single practice session. It's called the 20 Minute Showering Fix. So go to the instruction tab, go to top Speed golf system, 20 minute showering, fix from there.

And I'm gonna walk you through in just a handful of videos and one single session at the range. I promise you, you're gonna shower the club out on every single swing and on your very next round of golf, you're gonna hit the most solid shots of your life. And he goes hand in hand with what we just talked about here.

So it's gonna be perfect for you. So best of luck. I'll see you in the 20 minute showering Fix right now.
