Turn Your Chest Past the Ball and Strike It PURE!

You know, one of the biggest problems I run into when teaching golfers one-on-one is that most golfers I encounter simply don't rotate their

chest

enough, even when they think they do. It's amazing to see their reaction when you film them. from the face at this angle and you see that they just run out of power, they just stop

turn

ing as soon as their

chest

is back over the

ball

and most average golfers just don't

turn

their chest past the

ball

now The list Of bad things that will happen to a golf shot when you don't rotate

your

chest throughout the entire shot is a long list, so right after this, let me give you a really simple exercise that you can do to practice getting

your

chest further. of the ball will help you increase your forward speed will help you move your divot in front of the ball will help you have more lag will help you get more power stay tuned hey, it's steve with hit it long.com I continue on my journey to Hit the ball longer and straighter than ever before.

If you want to join me and maybe gain a few more yards on your drives this year, hit a couple extra fairways and have some more fun. of course, join me, hit the subscribe button right down there in the corner, like this video at the end if you got any benefit and leave a comment below because that helps with the YouTube algorithm. Okay, so let's first go back and take. a look at the swing I did in the intro. I had a couple different cameras running on that same swing and we can see it from both the front and the line angle and you can clearly see here that my sternum does it.

Not slowing down and stopping at impact right on the ball, but rather my sternum seems to keep gaining speed at that point and go through that barrier, so I end up with my chest just around the corner at a good 30 degrees on this one. moment. of impact, you can also see this from the angle of the line, how you're not looking at the side of my body at impact, but rather you're looking at my back, a little more like that, so if you can't look at that When you film yourself or have a friend film you from the end and if you can see part of your chest on impact that's even worse, what you'd really like to see is a lot of your back, so consider a couple of different golfers from different generations who embody the idea of ​​turning the chest before impact and let's take a look at a photo of lee trevino you can see surprisingly how far he has rotated and then john daly so you have a short hitter The hitter long, both Hall of Famers, John Daly was also super open at the moment of impact.

Now, what tends to happen when we slow our chest roll or stop? Well, I say that I use the phrase "it peters out like a wave that peters out on the shore where you just come to rest right here and hit the ball with a square chest. Many golfers who show me this move tend to throw away the too-soon angle of this way, so it will tend to be a lot of thick and thin shots. I have a lot of students who have trouble going left because when they run out of angle here, the tip now turns a little prematurely and causes them to hook the ball, which which adds a lot of scores to your rounds because Usually the hook shot costs them some penalties.

Now another way to tell if you have this happening and you're not rotating your chest enough in front of your uncocked wrists is that you're going to hit your rounds. short irons and your wedges very, very. high very high they don't have much distance they can't seem to hit their sand wedge any more than 60 70 80 yards it's just going too high because it's not creating enough forward lean at impact. this is a Many times when people stop their spin it becomes impossible to create this angle when entering the ball so using this tool speed you can choose one of these on my website if you think it will be beneficial for you .

I like to use the ball up for this drill, so what I would do is just throw it back, there's a little magnet here that keeps it connected, bring it back, turn down with your left foot and turn to face the target. Look towards the target, try to bring your sternum towards the target and then pop the ball around the arc to the left, it will be about 90 degrees from where the ball is so if that is zero degrees I want the pop to be at flag. or even to the left of the flag around the corner, so again you have to turn it all the way back and snap your wrists, which throws the ball off the magnet downwards and pops it at the end so you get that nice pop sound and then you can start and Do some with the ball on this end and now instead of a pop you're going to look for a swoosh, so in the first exercise we did it more step by step, which was now one, two, three with this. below, now you're going to try to combine the steps into a fluid swing and put the swoosh sound all the way around pointing at the target so you can see something like this in the slow motion that I did with the swish swings, that man, I'm spinning like crazy, I'm showing a lot of lag, so my divot will be ahead.

I'm going to have a lot of forward lean, a lot of power as I release the club forward and to the left. It seems like an exaggeration and it is, but for many of you who are trying to get rid of that fat look because your chest doesn't rotate enough, you will need to exaggerate this as a sensation because this is really what it will feel like when you do it correctly for the first time. Once you feel that the reel is not always congruent and after doing about 10 repetitions on each exercise, the pop exercise and the swish exercise you would return to your club. hit some smooth easy shots and try to approximate or invoke in the swing the same feeling that you had during the drill, so let's try it, twist and then swoosh, so a lot of good things happened during that swing.

I leaned forward. He had the divot. So I had a slight downward angle of attack at impact, the ball flew straight and it flew for power, so those are two great drills that will help you rotate your chest past the ball at the moment. of the impact. impact, this is a very useful tool for many different purposes, pick one up on my website, give it more time dot com, okay, I'll get back to work and continue moving forward on my journey to hitting the ball longer and straighter, thank you. Lots to watch, I'm Steve and as always, hey, I'll see you in the next video or I'll see you longer and straighter on the street, everyone be very careful.
