Fixes inconsistent ball striking from poor thoracic mobility using the split stance torso rotation as the greatest stretch.

· auto-generatedThe number one issue golfers struggle with and we're going to help you fix it in just 10 minutes the best ball Strikers in the world all rotate the same way basically every single time meaning that their strike and the bottom of the Swing AR is so consistent they can play Great Golf the issue for so many golfers is that with a restricted rotation through various different elements mostly thoracic Mobility we see different swings at different times meaning the club makes different impact and that is where your inconsistency lies what we're going to look at is giving you the physical Tools in just 10 minutes before you play to make a full rotation a full turn and start delivering the club the same way every single time so is this 10 minutes of effort going to be worth it absolutely when you do this before you play when you go into your back swing instead of feeling restricted and tight and lacking positional awareness of the Swing you're going to be able to turn around the spine hit that top position and then deliver the club the way that you want to we're going to start with two simple stretches that any golfer can do let's get to work number one is the split stance torso rotation this is sometimes called the greatest stretch because you really work in the whole body you can see from that split stance position we're getting into the hips and activating the lower body as well as creating additional mobility and stability but the key area is the thoracic area creating a freedom of rotation around the spine while staying in position you can do this with flow we can look to increase the range traveled over time and as you increase intensity and do this over three sets you're going to start to feel the freedom the flexibility and the activation come through so that when you stand up to the ball you know your body is ready to go we're then going to combine that with golf posture torso rotations staying active but relatively static with the legs we separate the upper body and increase that rotational pattern in your golf posture you're going to feel the resistance of the hips and during your swing you might allow those to rotate more that is going to give you more power and more range of mo motion but for this stretch spe specifically we want you to lock in the lower body and then work the upper body to increase your rotational capacity because again when you then address the ball you're going to have more to work with you're going to activate the legs increase the turn increase the swing Arc and give yourself not only a massive boost in terms of power potential but also that consistency of strike that comes from allowing the body to dictate your positioning and deliver the club back to a great impact position the best way to implement these two movements is before you play it you're going to work through 20 t-spine rotations that's 10 on each side of the body and then 10 golf posture torso rotations five each side take a little rest repeat that three times and you have yourself an incredible warm up that is going to get the body flexible and ready to go in just a few minutes and then we have the perfect drill for you to get this ingrained into your swing and see results straight away it's the back swing loading drill one of the best gets you into an incredible position and gives you a checkpoint so that you can swing with confidence off the te and every other shot as well okay so you can do this with any club but it's great to do it with the driver cuz we're really going to get that width okay so it's a really simple drill you are not going to hit here it's just for positional awareness and to give you those checkpoints to play better a golf okay so all you're going to do is align a ball to your Trail foot you're going to take your normal posture so as you would be for a practice swing the club is going to be in its normal position but the ball is in line with the trail foot you can do this with the club as well if you prefer but all we're going to do here is address the ball on that back foot okay so from here you have two things that you need to achieve number one is that as soon as we turn we load into that trail leg you're going to feel the quad and the glute really firing up and the right foot the trail foot pushing into the ground that's number one and then number two which is the real Secret Sauce you're going to point the shoulder at the ball okay so with it being so far back you now create this wide shoulder turn you're not swaying because you're loading into the lower body you get this full turn at least 90° and that is where we unlock that flexibility with the two stretches so again we go to the top we're fully loaded we made that massive turn we're working against the ground the club's in a great position we can then unload and work into the ball and when you do that when you take it to the C with the ball in a normal position you're going to do exactly those two things okay from here we do not have to think about the downswing all we do is unwind the body let the muscles let the body do the work and deliver an incredible strike so we get set this is just for feel but you can see this in my swing here as well we do exactly the two things that we just did okay loader the trail leg pull the left shoulder behind the ball okay so here I can see my lead foot in my peripheral vision I'm fully loaded behind the ball and then from there we turn unwind and absolutely launch that drive so in less than 10 minutes we have you more flexible increasing speed and hit better shots with high level consistency that's why you do this work that's why you follow this channel guys all right so if you're playing this weekend make sure you use those two stretches at home at the course on the first te it doesn't matter get them done try this drill out it's incredibly impactful for your game and for your body and remember this is not only
