Riley and TJ - I think this video is the culmination of all of your hard work. I finally can see how I want to move and when and how the "hit" happens. Your demonstration of how to go from the end ot the transition to the "hit" was your best explanation of this critical phase of the swing. Many thanks, Tom
Fantastic Tom!! Yes, we are extremely excited about sharing this since it has helped so many so far... We owe our credit to Rory lol. You watch him move during the entirety of the load phase and you see all of these attributes! Pretty cool!
I’ve been working hard on the spiraling, but that “backswing” of the trail hip moving around the hula hoop is mind blowing. Great video and content. Your passion for golf instruction definitely comes through!
This finally explains why my efforts to improve my inside-takeaway have felt so frustrating. My hips were working the opposite way, and I had even developed a trigger-move that made that even harder to overcome. Back to square one on this, thanks for the great work!
Fantastic! And I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised how quickly you'll get this. Especially if you've worked already on moving the chest as main engine rather than upper arms. Things will get organized so much easier for you at the fully loaded phase.
Just found you guys about a week ago and I can't stop watching! I'm a golf neard and love leaning how the body actually works! This video in particular is huge for me! I at some point guessing to help me turn got into a bad habit of turning hips to soon in the back swing and it's been killing my swing! I love the visual this video gives and I'm gonna try to turn this into a drill and just chip balls to get this feeling so I don't just flail my hips open on the backswing
Definitely need to be able to play through the transitionary areas rather than to those areas… static drills can be helpful but definitely need to put into dynamics to feel right 🙏
Forward action of the hips initiates momentum into the club and then, if we don't interfere with the instrument and are aware of where we want the low point to be, the swing becomes automatic. Great stuff guys!
Loving your knowledge, I completely understand it all, I need to really focus on breaking some very bad habits and swing thoughts, but when you stated on your misses and then I can diagnose the fix, that's very cool, thanks guys. to me, we get to a point with fairway finders, and then it's time to start moving the ball in different shapes, the game gets interesting to another level.
Hi Guys, great video as always and I'll be in my Sim room over winter practising this hip ccw technique as a small trigger to initiate the backswing. Question....in the Secret Swing Sequence video released a couple of months ago you advocate lateral rib chest as the initial trigger for the backswing, can you help me understand the reasoning for the two different triggers?
The main purpose of both is to move off the ball laterally… what we have found with many players when they attempt rib sway is they rotate the pelvis early in backswing which effects the midline in the opposite manner than requested in this video. BOTH can be effective triggers if done properly 👍
Wow.....now I know why I've been struggling, I couldn't get in my head where I was going wrong. This vid has got to be hands down the best disection of the Golf Swing 👏 Dave G
I tried this cocktail and it felt great! I've always struggled with a trigger that suits the start of my takeaway which ends up affecting my transition. I did it at about 50% and felt great, if anything I watched the video 3xs to further grasp the concept of the initial move, which i gor wrong at first by moving my weight slightly right but immediately winding my hip along the spiraling. I really enjoy your videos and the knowledge behind it. Thanks
If I hadn’t just worked with TJ on this move via an online lesson my mind would be blown with this😬😬. I literally made 3 swings with this feel and the results on video were hard to believe. Thank you TJ!!
absolutely... lets talk about two athletes on tour doing this at differing extremes... Matt Wolf (extreme) and Rory (moderate approach)... If you watch Rors, you'll see his lead knee hide behind the trail knee before the club even moves. But you'll also see the OG's do this as well... Trevino, Jones, Player all as examples
Great stuff gents, great feels here. Action breeds reaction. Also understanding the drop before transition or into transition is actually the bump that all other instruction implies. From a 2D face on view the drop is the bump hips to target. Question for you guys, I have always struggled with early extension or as you’ve stated in this video a swinger. I want to be a hitter, should I feel my back to target through the P5 position to stop the opening up of torso too early? Love your instruction guys
Somewhere between P4/5 you’ll definitely feel rotation into the away swing… then once you start to rotate in the other direction you’ll load the arms so you can fire them through the hit
Incredible!!! The first 4min of your video changed my last 7y of golfing 😂 This hula ring move, gave me the 10cm space to swing inside out and I am ready to go for long drive championship 👍🤣 Thank you
I’m a bit confused how previous videos talked about starting the swing with rib sway whereas this one talks about starting with the hips around the hoop movement?
Great question, just another way to drip energy into the swing.. we’ve seen a lot of folks try to rib sway but in doing so initiated rotate the pelvis away from target making it very difficult to move the body in a way that supports the swinging of the arms
I just need to stick my head in the freezer for a minute so don’t go away…….. OK, I’m back. Wow. Just frikin wow. What a wonderful, thought provoking description of the golf swing.
Haha!!! Best comment ever award!! I can picture the whole thing! Please keep us posted and ask any questions you may have as you work through these concepts!
I have been "Golf Youtubing" for a long time, found some really good teachers which helped me a lot. But frankly, your concept and your way of describing the structure/sections of the swing is frankly the best for my brain-body interface :-) I already improved a lot, got almost rid of my early extention (which I worked on for years). Simply Great! I am from Germany, do you offer workshops (5-7 days) at your facitilies? It would be worth flying to the US and make an visit 🙂 Thank you all - great work!
Wow! What an incredible post! Thank you so much for the kind words and we are thrilled that you are having success within our system! Also, to answer your question... Yes, we absolutely offer multiple day programs. We offer both intensives and golf schools. I'll add the link below for you! Would be honored to work with you! If you reach out on our website we can help to answer and questions you have in regard to our programming/coaching. elitegolfofaz.com/golf-schools/
@@elitegolfschools I stand corrected. I tried this the same day and WOW. I've always struggled with proper weight shift and footwork, and this was outstanding. Thanks for doing this, guys.
Passionate about your videos. In many, I hear there is a level component at the bottom of the swing. I'm having difficulty understanding this premise. Could you please elaborate on achieving that level portion of the swing. With thanks!
Love your content and the system you developed. Could I get some clarification on the takeaway in the video and how the rib sway/ initial lateral move in the back swing relate. Does it start with the 1. pelvis closed “takeaway” , then 2. Lateral rib sway away for the target? Thanks.
Would love to see lateral pressure followed by thoracic rotation and finished with the arm action. Numerous different ways to do that but that is the foundation of sequential movement
If you guys dont mindc can you please talk about wrist hinge , keeping lead arm straight, ball placement etc.. And more about how to swing the driver using your system.
We are definitely getting a lot of requests for driver for sure so we’ll do a deeper dive on driver. For naw, look up our distance video and driver vs wedge We can also do a general set up video as well 🙏🙏❤️ Thanks for the suggestions!
Thanks for the video. If the hip line is slightly open, is the idea to still keep shoulder line parallel to target line? What is the objective of the open hip line?
The shoulder line can absolutely be effected early by the hip axis... the objective is to move the pressure away from the target while moving the midline's orientation target-biased
Awesome insight into the backswing focusing on the counterclockwise movement of the hips around the hula hoop. Gets weight onto trail side, raises trail side and puts you into an excellent position for the transition and shifting of weight and lateral movement of upper and lower body onto the lead foot. WOW!!!!
With talking about the midline working away while dropping in transition am I right in that there is a distinction between the midline working away through rotation and the lateral shift toward the target? Just trying to marry it up with the "move lateral before rotate" video from a few months ago. Thanks for putting these videos up, really enjoying the content you lads are punching out.
Great question! And still absolutely the same general umbrella, this video is just a version of that same video but in 3D curved space rather than the 2D description from the previous video.
Thanks fellas@@elitegolfschools , I think just had a small lightbulb moment re the drop where dropping "back" is relative to pelvis not 90 deg from the ball/setup position
Great video guys- can the door knob+hinge analogy in the downswing result in weight staying on the back foot? Can this result in low point behind the ball?
Love the channel. Are you saying we need to change the way we shift in the backswing? Used to recommend shifting laterally with the chest without moving the club.
Yes , im confused as ive been practicing for months moving laterally as the first move with rib sway , even in the 'how to move your pelvis ' video 4 months ago this move is not mentioned ...... unless its something they've just stumbled upon.
So glad you mentioned this! It is absolutely something new that we have been implementing. However, it is absolutely not something that is a must for all players, Rib sway is also a great way to start a golf swing, we simply see people try to sway and screw up the pelvis in doing so. I would suggest trying the hula hoop feel to start and then feeling rib sway/chest rotation to follow. Definitely gets the pelvis moving in a different and improved direction for most@@piping35
Does the initial hoola hoop move replace the initial lateral move or is it simply an alternate method of working towards the proper back swing...love your stuff! Making me think! Thank you
Fantastic! And they are both lateral moves. Biggest thing in the lateral action is NO rotation. We see a lot of players who early open up on both the away and forward swings and it whacks out their action. This simply ensures that the player doesn’t early unwind in the backswing
Great stuff guys. I did this stuff back in the mid 90s when I was winning on the mini tours but got away from it. Didn’t really understand the why it was working. Quick question which I think I know the answer. At P5 conventional wisdom has the hips square to the target line. But in old videos of Hogan he would appear to have closed hips at P5 but his torso was more unwound. His positioning is best described by your teaching. So square at P5 may be more akin to swinging than hitting. Thoughts?
Yes and no, I think we see either dependent upon the length of backswing in the lead arm line. Either positioning of the knee line can be effective if applied correctly! And, congrats on success as a pro. Not many have the career you’ve had my friend! ❤️
I take the club inside (and under the setup plane) but I do not end up throwing the club onto the top of that setup plane when I'm transitioning. I hear you suggesting that the "instrument" is thrown on top of the setup plane as a consequence of taking the club inside in the backswing, but there is nothing in a golf swing that prevents a golfer from shallowing, and keeping the instrument under the setup plane, even if they pull the club inside. With so many manipulations needed, to seek your suggested timing and movements, I don't believe an inside backswing is a death sentence even if someone takes your two pivot approach (as a hitter), as the pivots both happen as the instrument is slowing and reversing direction.
@@JimBlair absolutely agreed, take a look at Lopez and Floyd… however, they are outliers on tour… just takes a different dynamic at the top to slot it into delivery! Kind of a cool quirk for sure!
Question…on the trail view of TJ (08:00 into vid) when he “bounced” on his slo-mo rotation forward….what actually was he doing incorrectly? Seemed very subtle but was important., but I could not discern what the fault was.Thanks.
Just watched what you were referring to, and it actually wasn’t an incorrect movement. Riley was saying “now you bounced” not, “no you bounced.” The bouncing movement is what we are trying to do through the strike 🙏
Wow...i've alwatys fought the inside and low takeaway and i know my trail hip works in the opposite manner of what you're showing here. Get the right hip moving behind and then toward the target...well, ok, but how you get it started really matters. Will be working on this piece right away!
"The further up you are, 80/20'ish...further back you can move your pivot"...when you talk about moving your trail hip back in that sequence, what is "back"? away from target? away from target line?, ...Love your teaching!!
Thanks...maybe more specifically, when you talk about moving your pivot back, what direction are you saying? The right hip moves back from the target line? from the target? Thanks!!
@@593summersound think of the trail hip as a pivot point in the initial portion of the unload phase. I.e. the hinge of a door. The lead hip will curve to open the door I.e the doorknob 👍
Great content again. One question regarding the backswing/ counterclockwise pelvis rotation and rib sway that has been discussed on other videos. Is the intent to do one or the other? Or start with the pelvis rotated slightly towards the target, then rib sway from there??? Thanks.
They are both effective ways to move pressure laterally. What we’ve seen get players in trouble with swaying the ribs laterally is an unintentional early rotation of the midline in the initial swing, throwing the club under plane and moving forces in inappropriate directions
I have been watching for eight months, but I feel like this is the first time I heard you comment on the counterclockwise pelvis move at address. Am I crazy? I have watched most videos multiple times.
First time we’ve presented it! It’s not a must but definitely a good way to match up the initial part of the golf swing, pressure and midline relation 🙏❤️ Thanks for the loyal following!!!
@elitegolfschools GREAT VIDEO. Question at the 5:20 mark the weight that is on the left foot is still on the left big toe, mid left foot or ?. We don't want to get outside of our hips correct ?
I am in the “swing” category and have been working on stopping early extension, shallowing the club, and reducing my flipping of the club at impact for the last 4 years….to NO success and incredibly frustrating. I think my head just exploded!!! This may be the path to becoming a proper ball striker. Excellent video gentlemen as always, thanks.
Another question for you guys. Been following your instruction for a long time now. And with some real good success. Recently though I’ve really struggled with inside path. 10 degrees plus on quad yesterday, club fitter mentioned I looked like I was excessively tilted in the trail side early. Wonder what your thoughts would be on this would be?
Definitely would rewatch the hub and center of mass video from months ago… you can also look to shove the pivot back into trail hip with more of a ‘level’ rotation in the chest. Keep us posted 🙏
this was a bit confusing. what i got out of it but maybe im wrong is that dont move your right hip behind you at the start of the backswing and spiral up. Instead shift weight onto your right foot a little with the hip still closed and then sprial up and then the right hip goes behind you.
Any thoughts or suggestions on address hands and those at impact. Some amount of grip going up while trying to swing left around circle without loosing too much angle and face orientation. Or, does the drop keep club in right plane???
@@jack-hq7gr I leave the arms and hands loose and let them fly around with the body turn and they find the right path with no manipulation. Thats why the body turn is important Nearly all AMs slams their arms down instead of letting body move them.
So is it you want to point ur pelvis towards target while at the same time moving your chest away and moving laterally at the same time? Kind of creating a coil effect?
Great Lesson. Question, with this backswing start with the H Hoop, Do you actively start the backswing with the same drill your doing here. Feeling like the trail hip goes counter clockwise ? When I do the drill I hit it pure and feels like a very heavy hit (strike) which is awesome. Thanks
Yes, Matt does a load of this! Definitely don't have to do as much as he does... you can but don't have to... also, would prefer to see players dynamic and not static with this move. We see a lot of players 'cheat' the move because they will simply spin/rotate the pelvis once they've preset. Makes the issue discussed more pronounced and can complicate matters further
Looks great guys, although I am a bit confused as watching all your other swing videos even in slow motion , I can't see this deliberate anti-clockwise hip move starting the swimg ..perhaps I'm missing something ( not a criticism, just perplexed)?
Yes!!! It is something that we have recently dropped into our system with GREAT results! However, disclaimer, you DO NOT have to move the pelvic complex to get energy dripped into your system. Other ways to do it. Simply looking to manage midline rotation along with pressure movement early in swing to set up the rest of the swing 🙏
Ok so question:- The feeling here of the pelvis dropping “on the way back”… I think I’ve got this going but to you does this feel like you’re “reaching” towards the target with your derrière (like you might do in a hard side arm throw) or is the feel still more like dropping straight down into a chair? (Or maybe it’s both feels but now the chair is not directly behind/under you but somewhat off to the left?)
As a scratch golfer I thought I had a clear understanding of the golf swing and then you blew my mind. This video has resulted in a draw pattern vs my typical fade, any ideas why?
Do you know of anyone teaching these principles in the UK? With regards to the pressure shifting is the pressure shifting from 80 front foot to the back foot again when unloading the spiral?
Oh man! We'll have to look into this... Cowen is pretty awesome and I believe he is from there but may live state-side now... Pressure definitely doesn't have to be 80-20... it can but even moving back to 50-50 can work great for some players!
Riley - I have a follow-up question for you. It seems to me that EGS and the wonderful Milo Lines, who I have taken lessons with, agree on most points. However it now is clearer to me that you two disagree on what happens through impact. My understanding is that MIlo prefers a pulling motion that is the result of a dynamic clearing of the left side of the body all the way through to an athletic finish that slings the club through impact. (He hits it a ton with this motion). Whereas I now understand EGS prefers a similar body motion but wants the player to actively hit the ball using the arms and then be pulled to a finish by the momentum of the club/body. Am I understanding the EGS system? If not, please get me going the right direction. This confusion has held me back in my quest to make my golf buddies envious of the time I have spent with EGS.
Got one thing darned right… Milo Lines is wonderful! Also, I’m thinking that we both simply want the student to feel matched up and to feel good through the strike. Everyone is a bit different on when they will feel the ‘hit.’ Some are later that others who feel the hit earlier 🙏🙏
What to you use to manage the radius(sturnum-hub?) for the golf swing or is it mainly hand eye coordination to account for changing heights and is instinctive.
Is the main engine the hips for the chest? I always thought the main engine is the chest but in this case the hips or pelvis is the main engine. Just want to get some clarity...Awesome video BTW.
So this first hip movement is new? I did not get this nuance on the video where you demonstrated move laterally before you rotate. I am having trouble with how you call this 1st hip/lateral move the backswing because the club does not move. I have tried this out but I get out of synch and it breaks down when I get to my longer clubs at 4 hybrid up to driver. To be fair I have only worked on it one practice session. I just rewatched the video and will go again today. Also does this apply to shots inside 100?
What a great question and comment. So this is to manage the midline’s rotation while moving pressure laterally (as discussed in the previous video). If you watch Rory and Stenson you’ll see two different ways of doing this. Also, backswing and transition (as referred in this video) is just our language to attempt to help viewers see the golf swing in a certain light; what we refer to as the map in many videos.
Big fan of the channel and your “map” for the swing. But is this map evolving over time? Some of the later ideas seem to contradict earlier videos. Is it possible to organize your excellent videos in an order we can view so we don’t get tripped up. I ask as a former D1 college golfer and current plus handicap. I’m just always trying to learn and evolve. Your ideas are smart and clear. I just wish there was a grouping of 5-10 videos that declares “this is the map; watch them in order.” Thanks for the great work. You are a natural-born teacher.
Dude for sure! The concepts are really very similar throughout our entire channel. We are simply trying to clarify different ‘maps’ for different players. Some need to hit early with the arms, some need to love pressure laterally with various ideas presented. Some need more vertical force, rotational, you name it!!! If you ever need clarification on any particular items, just ask and we will help as best we can! Also, where you play your college golf at? Always fun to hear from players who have competed at a high level!
@@elitegolfschools Augusta State. I’m in the BT (Before Tiger) era. I actually hit the ball better now than college. Your concepts about moving the body in a powerful, efficient way are so impressive. As I said, you have a gift as an explainer and teacher. Things you convey get me excited to get to the range and practice. Based on another of your videos, I actually just ordered a rope and a couple of other things from Weck Method. The journey to hitting more “flushers” never ends.
How did TJ stop the hip thrust when going ‘high energy’, near the end of the video. (Hit the heel of the club) I think I missed the explanation on how to stop that.
Good question! He focused more on the pivot switch. Moving from left hip pressure to right hip pressure through the strike. This allows him to stay dropped in and in hip flexion for longer 🙏
Is lateral head movement okay? I am striking the ball great, with this drill but when I took a face on video. It showed that my head moves back slightly in the back swing and returns to midline at impact.
Lateral head movement is definitely ok 👌 some of the best in the world have done so. However, it’s all about the right amount for each individual player’s recipe. It can certainly be overdone 🙏
Hi, Is the initial pelvic move a "trigger" for the rest of the back-swing? Also please put a search box on your RUclips site (portal) for your videos (there isn't available). Best Regards,
Riley says “ok now go thru all 3 phases of the system. Whenever you get 2 of these phases are positioned (from here I could not quite understand what he said happens) What is that???
The rotation of the chest/midline is what we are saying can help move the club under the plane… definitely other ways to help organize the club in that transitional phase as well.. lead arm ir, bouncing bends, trail hand supination, etc. just another example of how to move the club under the plane in transition
@@elitegolfschools Thanks for your reply. Swingers also lower their pelvis during the transition, and rotate their psoas and abdominal muscles (the thoracic spine actually has no rotation function) and just passively follow. At the same time, the so-called hitter you mentioned also has a tilted lumbar spine in the video, otherwise how can it be MSA. So, I am still confused.
@@jiecao4188 in hitter pattern, pelvis drops. Most people misdiagnose pelvic drop (hip flexion) as lumbar tilt/bend. Swingers will move pelvis laterally and elevate the pelvis which results in lumbar bend and shreds tissue… ie propensity to injury
Hi! Would you consider this a different "map" as compared to the "rib sway" technique in your other vids? It seems the hula flow technique follows a pelvis/leg driven thought while the rib sway has a rib/upper body driven cue. Thank you!
Both love the pressure to a trail side bias. However , the pelvis move maintains appropriate midline awareness for most. Can absolutely do both if done properly as they are both ways to move the com of the body away from the target 🙏
🤯🤯😂😂. Are you presetting the hips open? Is this required if you dont have issues with setting the club and keeping arms in front of the body ? I guess I am also saying if there are no issues with going under the plane.
Riley, Andy from Korea. When I do this(the pelvis trigger), my club tends to go out and open in the backswing. Feels like my club is too much open in the backswing is it because I exaggerated too much?
The step drill is simply there to indicate where the pivot is being transitioned to. In essence think of the transitional phase as pivoting from the lead hip complex and the unload phase as coming from the trail hip complex. Great question!
Very informative video! Golf is a confusing sport, the more I play it the more confusion I have. My biggest question - can you guys do a video showing principles of iron and driver hit? For example, how club head should travel, how body should apply force, what’s the principle behind that etc. If it’s a bat swing on a parallel surface, it’s straightforward. But golf is like 45 degree angle, together with your body 3D move, the principle is confusing. Thanks!!!❤❤❤
@@elitegolfschools especially how club head / shaft travels before and after impact, and how body should move to encourage those movements from happening. Need to understand the principle / mechanics first then able to implement much better. Thanks!
Where I went wrong with this plan was reverting back to posting up on lead leg and losing hip flexion. Combining swinging and hitting will not work, duh. I will take this to the range as I have only hit nurf balls in the living room.
Left, Right, Left. If you were to Strike TJ in the Left Oblique he would react by drawing his Right Quad toward the Strike. Pebble in Pond Analogy. From there you rebound with your Right Lat. (Back Chain) This weights toward the Heel. As you rise to the top you now fall toward the left heel. Right Drafts behind Left. It is a Simple LRL Oscillation. Love what you doing!
Riley and TJ - I think this video is the culmination of all of your hard work. I finally can see how I want to move and when and how the "hit" happens. Your demonstration of how to go from the end ot the transition to the "hit" was your best explanation of this critical phase of the swing. Many thanks, Tom

Nice! Love it!
I appreciate this approach to the movements. Logical and based on action/reaction and center of gravity ! It flows instead of being static.
All about those dynamics baby!! Not much of a fan of static movement training
great video guys...would love to learn how to buff these moves off.....i do them step by step ..but hard to flow them together seamlessly....
Definitely need to be able to play through the transitionary areas rather than to those areas… static drills can be helpful but definitely need to put into dynamics to feel right 🙏

Haha! Love that map 🧠 keep it up
Wow, this counter clockwise hip move to start swing is different. This will take some effort to do over clockwise move I have been doing.
Won’t take long! Especially if you pre-set as a drill to better understand the drill 🙏❤️

Haha!! That was a fun session bro! -TJ
Love the fluidity and athleticism of these concepts. Are there any current pros (or past) who display aspects of this backswing motion?
absolutely... lets talk about two athletes on tour doing this at differing extremes... Matt Wolf (extreme) and Rory (moderate approach)... If you watch Rors, you'll see his lead knee hide behind the trail knee before the club even moves. But you'll also see the OG's do this as well... Trevino, Jones, Player all as examples

Great question, just another way to drip energy into the swing.. we’ve seen a lot of folks try to rib sway but in doing so initiated rotate the pelvis away from target making it very difficult to move the body in a way that supports the swinging of the arms
Amazingly clear explanations thanks🤩
Right on!!
I just need to stick my head in the freezer for a minute so don’t go away……..
OK, I’m back. Wow. Just frikin wow. What a wonderful, thought provoking description of the golf swing.
Haha!!! Best comment ever award!! I can picture the whole thing! Please keep us posted and ask any questions you may have as you work through these concepts!
That trail hip move at the start of the backswing on the hula hoop is a real gem. Time to get in the lab and try that.
Let us know how it goes bro 🙏 🔥
Super cool ...Please do the driver video 🙏
Definitely will! We have done a speed and driver vs wedge video as well but we will do a driver basics video as well in the coming videos
@@elitegolfschools wohoo.. Thank you coach 🍻 we can't wait 🥳
@@user-fc9wv5gr2y fantastic!!!!
I have been "Golf Youtubing" for a long time, found some really good teachers which helped me a lot. But frankly, your concept and your way of describing the structure/sections of the swing is frankly the best for my brain-body interface :-) I already improved a lot, got almost rid of my early extention (which I worked on for years). Simply Great! I am from Germany, do you offer workshops (5-7 days) at your facitilies? It would be worth flying to the US and make an visit 🙂 Thank you all - great work!
Wow! What an incredible post! Thank you so much for the kind words and we are thrilled that you are having success within our system!
Also, to answer your question... Yes, we absolutely offer multiple day programs. We offer both intensives and golf schools. I'll add the link below for you! Would be honored to work with you! If you reach out on our website we can help to answer and questions you have in regard to our programming/coaching.

This makes a lot of sense and I’ll pull every muscle trying it.
You’d be surprised 🙏 #healthymovement feels good
@@elitegolfschools I stand corrected. I tried this the same day and WOW. I've always struggled with proper weight shift and footwork, and this was outstanding. Thanks for doing this, guys.
Passionate about your videos. In many, I hear there is a level component at the bottom of the swing. I'm having difficulty
understanding this premise.
Could you please elaborate on achieving that level portion of the swing.
With thanks!
Wonderful! And yea the ‘level’ is a perpendicular hit out of the t spine. If you watch the ‘don’t lift the arms’ video you’ll see more on this topic!
Somehow this whole video immediately made sense to me. That "Hip around the hula hoop to start the backswing" feel is mind-blowingly good.
Yes! Very good feels
Love your content and the system you developed. Could I get some clarification on the takeaway in the video and how the rib sway/ initial lateral move in the back swing relate. Does it start with the 1. pelvis closed “takeaway” , then 2. Lateral rib sway away for the target? Thanks.
Would love to see lateral pressure followed by thoracic rotation and finished with the arm action. Numerous different ways to do that but that is the foundation of sequential movement
If you guys dont mindc can you please talk about wrist hinge , keeping lead arm straight, ball placement etc..
And more about how to swing the driver using your system.
We are definitely getting a lot of requests for driver for sure so we’ll do a deeper dive on driver. For naw, look up our distance video and driver vs wedge
We can also do a general set up video as well 🙏🙏❤️
Thanks for the suggestions!
Great swing tips
Thank you!!!
Thanks for the video.
If the hip line is slightly open, is the idea to still keep shoulder line parallel to target line?
What is the objective of the open hip line?
The shoulder line can absolutely be effected early by the hip axis... the objective is to move the pressure away from the target while moving the midline's orientation target-biased
Awesome insight into the backswing focusing on the counterclockwise movement of the hips around the hula hoop. Gets weight onto trail side, raises trail side and puts you into an excellent position for the transition and shifting of weight and lateral movement of upper and lower body onto the lead foot. WOW!!!!
Yes man!! Great maps. 🧠
Love your contents! Just wondering is it going to be the same move with a driver?
Yessir!
With talking about the midline working away while dropping in transition am I right in that there is a distinction between the midline working away through rotation and the lateral shift toward the target? Just trying to marry it up with the "move lateral before rotate" video from a few months ago. Thanks for putting these videos up, really enjoying the content you lads are punching out.
Great question! And still absolutely the same general umbrella, this video is just a version of that same video but in 3D curved space rather than the 2D description from the previous video.
Thanks fellas@@elitegolfschools , I think just had a small lightbulb moment re the drop where dropping "back" is relative to pelvis not 90 deg from the ball/setup position
@@Dave-qv7uv big level up for sure!!!!
Great video guys- can the door knob+hinge analogy in the downswing result in weight staying on the back foot? Can this result in low point behind the ball?
Yes! Exactly! Got to get the pressure back up to the lead foot by P4/P5 latest!
This is very similar to the GRF videos, great stuff.
Yep, definitely see where pressures come from
Great video guys! Elite instruction.
So glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
Love the channel. Are you saying we need to change the way we shift in the backswing? Used to recommend shifting laterally with the chest without moving the club.
Yes , im confused as ive been practicing for months moving laterally as the first move with rib sway , even in the 'how to move your pelvis ' video 4 months ago this move is not mentioned ...... unless its something they've just stumbled upon.
This is by no means a must but it absolutely helps line up forces, rotation, and laterals in a very beneficial way
So glad you mentioned this! It is absolutely something new that we have been implementing. However, it is absolutely not something that is a must for all players, Rib sway is also a great way to start a golf swing, we simply see people try to sway and screw up the pelvis in doing so. I would suggest trying the hula hoop feel to start and then feeling rib sway/chest rotation to follow. Definitely gets the pelvis moving in a different and improved direction for most@@piping35
Does the initial hoola hoop move replace the initial lateral move or is it simply an alternate method of working towards the proper back swing...love your stuff! Making me think! Thank you
Fantastic! And they are both lateral moves. Biggest thing in the lateral action is NO rotation. We see a lot of players who early open up on both the away and forward swings and it whacks out their action. This simply ensures that the player doesn’t early unwind in the backswing
Great stuff guys. I did this stuff back in the mid 90s when I was winning on the mini tours but got away from it. Didn’t really understand the why it was working. Quick question which I think I know the answer. At P5 conventional wisdom has the hips square to the target line. But in old videos of Hogan he would appear to have closed hips at P5 but his torso was more unwound. His positioning is best described by your teaching. So square at P5 may be more akin to swinging than hitting. Thoughts?
Yes and no, I think we see either dependent upon the length of backswing in the lead arm line. Either positioning of the knee line can be effective if applied correctly! And, congrats on success as a pro. Not many have the career you’ve had my friend! ❤️
Can you please do a video using that move with driver. Besides ball position, is there anything different with driver?
Cheers
Ben, Sydney Australia
I take the club inside (and under the setup plane) but I do not end up throwing the club onto the top of that setup plane when I'm transitioning. I hear you suggesting that the "instrument" is thrown on top of the setup plane as a consequence of taking the club inside in the backswing, but there is nothing in a golf swing that prevents a golfer from shallowing, and keeping the instrument under the setup plane, even if they pull the club inside. With so many manipulations needed, to seek your suggested timing and movements, I don't believe an inside backswing is a death sentence even if someone takes your two pivot approach (as a hitter), as the pivots both happen as the instrument is slowing and reversing direction.
@@JimBlair absolutely agreed, take a look at Lopez and Floyd… however, they are outliers on tour… just takes a different dynamic at the top to slot it into delivery! Kind of a cool quirk for sure!
Question…on the trail view of TJ (08:00 into vid) when he “bounced” on his slo-mo rotation forward….what actually was he doing incorrectly? Seemed very subtle but was important., but I could not discern what the fault was.Thanks.
Just watched what you were referring to, and it actually wasn’t an incorrect movement. Riley was saying “now you bounced” not, “no you bounced.” The bouncing movement is what we are trying to do through the strike 🙏
Thanks
Good stuff guys
You the best Sam!
Would you consider the initial ccw move around the hula hoop a trigger to get everything else moving?
Yes! Great trigger move! Got to get energy moving somehow, might as well make it beneficial lol
Wow...i've alwatys fought the inside and low takeaway and i know my trail hip works in the opposite manner of what you're showing here. Get the right hip moving behind and then toward the target...well, ok, but how you get it started really matters. Will be working on this piece right away!
Fantastic and let us know how it goes!!!
"The further up you are, 80/20'ish...further back you can move your pivot"...when you talk about moving your trail hip back in that sequence, what is "back"? away from target? away from target line?, ...Love your teaching!!
Pivot is in the hip complex not in the middle of pelvis 👍
Thanks...maybe more specifically, when you talk about moving your pivot back, what direction are you saying? The right hip moves back from the target line? from the target? Thanks!!
@@593summersound think of the trail hip as a pivot point in the initial portion of the unload phase. I.e. the hinge of a door. The lead hip will curve to open the door I.e the doorknob 👍
Great content again. One question regarding the backswing/ counterclockwise pelvis rotation and rib sway that has been discussed on other videos. Is the intent to do one or the other? Or start with the pelvis rotated slightly towards the target, then rib sway from there??? Thanks.
They are both effective ways to move pressure laterally. What we’ve seen get players in trouble with swaying the ribs laterally is an unintentional early rotation of the midline in the initial swing, throwing the club under plane and moving forces in inappropriate directions
I have been watching for eight months, but I feel like this is the first time I heard you comment on the counterclockwise pelvis move at address. Am I crazy? I have watched most videos multiple times.
First time we’ve presented it! It’s not a must but definitely a good way to match up the initial part of the golf swing, pressure and midline relation 🙏❤️ Thanks for the loyal following!!!
Thank you - new reason to season the steak tomorrow@@elitegolfschools
@@GNTSullivan let’s go! #properamount
@elitegolfschools GREAT VIDEO. Question at the 5:20 mark the weight that is on the left foot is still on the left big toe, mid left foot or ?. We don't want to get outside of our hips correct ?
Pretty much right on top of the ball of the lead foot 👍
Bravo!!!! Tried it in my backyard, my shots were straight and strong. I am not worthy!!!!
Right on!!
Question. Does this new move erase the need for a lateral rib sway on the backswing?
And on the downswing too?
I am in the “swing” category and have been working on stopping early extension, shallowing the club, and reducing my flipping of the club at impact for the last 4 years….to NO success and incredibly frustrating.
I think my head just exploded!!!
This may be the path to becoming a proper ball striker. Excellent video gentlemen as always, thanks.
Thanks so much man! Please keep us posted
Another question for you guys. Been following your instruction for a long time now. And with some real good success. Recently though I’ve really struggled with inside path. 10 degrees plus on quad yesterday, club fitter mentioned I looked like I was excessively tilted in the trail side early. Wonder what your thoughts would be on this would be?
Definitely would rewatch the hub and center of mass video from months ago… you can also look to shove the pivot back into trail hip with more of a ‘level’ rotation in the chest. Keep us posted 🙏
@@elitegolfschools 👍🏻
this was a bit confusing. what i got out of it but maybe im wrong is that dont move your right hip behind you at the start of the backswing and spiral up. Instead shift weight onto your right foot a little with the hip still closed and then sprial up and then the right hip goes behind you.
Sounds like you got it man 👍
Any thoughts or suggestions on address hands and those at impact. Some amount of grip going up while trying to swing left around circle without loosing too much angle and face orientation. Or, does the drop keep club in right plane???
@@jack-hq7gr I leave the arms and hands loose and let them fly around with the body turn and they find the right path with no manipulation. Thats why the body turn is important Nearly all AMs slams their arms down instead of letting body move them.
@@joevelte4252 thanks and appreciate response
Do most pros set up with hips slightly open to start on top of the plane in the backswing?
Some do and some don’t! Depends upon the player 🙏
I prefer to raise my lead foot to facilitate turn. Do you agree I should do that after the initial “backswing” move?
Would love to see that responsive to the chest’s turn for sure
Great video guys!
Thank you!
I am a scratch golfer and this was amazing
Glad you liked it!
So is it you want to point ur pelvis towards target while at the same time moving your chest away and moving laterally at the same time? Kind of creating a coil effect?
Coil effect for sure all through the spiral line. Idea is to rotate the ribs while maintaining hip flexion in the backswing 🙏
Great Lesson. Question, with this backswing start with the H Hoop, Do you actively start the backswing with the same drill your doing here. Feeling like the trail hip goes counter clockwise ? When I do the drill I hit it pure and feels like a very heavy hit (strike) which is awesome.
Thanks
This remind me of Matthew Wolff's trigger. I am just wondering, can we just setup with the pelvis open as if we do the hoola hoop?
Yes, Matt does a load of this! Definitely don't have to do as much as he does... you can but don't have to... also, would prefer to see players dynamic and not static with this move. We see a lot of players 'cheat' the move because they will simply spin/rotate the pelvis once they've preset. Makes the issue discussed more pronounced and can complicate matters further
Looks great guys, although I am a bit confused as watching all your other swing videos even in slow motion , I can't see this deliberate anti-clockwise hip move starting the swimg ..perhaps I'm missing something ( not a criticism, just perplexed)?
Yes!!! It is something that we have recently dropped into our system with GREAT results! However, disclaimer, you DO NOT have to move the pelvic complex to get energy dripped into your system. Other ways to do it. Simply looking to manage midline rotation along with pressure movement early in swing to set up the rest of the swing 🙏
in the first map part (hula hoop) are you coming off the ball, or is the chest still staying centred (sternum) over the ball?
If by coming off you mean lateral pressure movement then yes 🙏
Ok so question:-
The feeling here of the pelvis dropping “on the way back”… I think I’ve got this going but to you does this feel like you’re “reaching” towards the target with your derrière (like you might do in a hard side arm throw) or is the feel still more like dropping straight down into a chair? (Or maybe it’s both feels but now the chair is not directly behind/under you but somewhat off to the left?)
Great question! And very much like dropping into a chair 🙏🙏
As a scratch golfer I thought I had a clear understanding of the golf swing and then you blew my mind. This video has resulted in a draw pattern vs my typical fade, any ideas why?
Shallowing the club through proper sequencing 👍
Do you know of anyone teaching these principles in the UK?
With regards to the pressure shifting is the pressure shifting from 80 front foot to the back foot again when unloading the spiral?
Oh man! We'll have to look into this... Cowen is pretty awesome and I believe he is from there but may live state-side now... Pressure definitely doesn't have to be 80-20... it can but even moving back to 50-50 can work great for some players!
Riley - I have a follow-up question for you. It seems to me that EGS and the wonderful Milo Lines, who I have taken lessons with, agree on most points. However it now is clearer to me that you two disagree on what happens through impact. My understanding is that MIlo prefers a pulling motion that is the result of a dynamic clearing of the left side of the body all the way through to an athletic finish that slings the club through impact. (He hits it a ton with this motion). Whereas I now understand EGS prefers a similar body motion but wants the player to actively hit the ball using the arms and then be pulled to a finish by the momentum of the club/body. Am I understanding the EGS system? If not, please get me going the right direction. This confusion has held me back in my quest to make my golf buddies envious of the time I have spent with EGS.
Got one thing darned right… Milo Lines is wonderful!
Also, I’m thinking that we both simply want the student to feel matched up and to feel good through the strike. Everyone is a bit different on when they will feel the ‘hit.’ Some are later that others who feel the hit earlier 🙏🙏
What to you use to manage the radius(sturnum-hub?) for the golf swing or is it mainly hand eye coordination to account for changing heights and is instinctive.
Did I get this correctly, a swing that transitions with a drop and hips spinning open falls into the swinger camp (with lots of face rotation)?
Got it right! Doest have to mean loads of face rotation (i.e. Morikowa) but you have to add in different match ups to lower the ROR in the face
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Is the main engine the hips for the chest? I always thought the main engine is the chest but in this case the hips or pelvis is the main engine. Just want to get some clarity...Awesome video BTW.
Main engine is the chest… we say this because we want to chest leading the arms in both directions
Reminds a little of right sided golf. It almost makes you feel like your body is facing the target for the whole swing
Definitely makes you feel like facing the target at the strike!!
So this first hip movement is new? I did not get this nuance on the video where you demonstrated move laterally before you rotate. I am having trouble with how you call this 1st hip/lateral move the backswing because the club does not move. I have tried this out but I get out of synch and it breaks down when I get to my longer clubs at 4 hybrid up to driver. To be fair I have only worked on it one practice session. I just rewatched the video and will go again today. Also does this apply to shots inside 100?
What a great question and comment. So this is to manage the midline’s rotation while moving pressure laterally (as discussed in the previous video). If you watch Rory and Stenson you’ll see two different ways of doing this. Also, backswing and transition (as referred in this video) is just our language to attempt to help viewers see the golf swing in a certain light; what we refer to as the map in many videos.
Big fan of the channel and your “map” for the swing. But is this map evolving over time? Some of the later ideas seem to contradict earlier videos. Is it possible to organize your excellent videos in an order we can view so we don’t get tripped up. I ask as a former D1 college golfer and current plus handicap. I’m just always trying to learn and evolve. Your ideas are smart and clear. I just wish there was a grouping of 5-10 videos that declares “this is the map; watch them in order.” Thanks for the great work. You are a natural-born teacher.
Dude for sure! The concepts are really very similar throughout our entire channel. We are simply trying to clarify different ‘maps’ for different players. Some need to hit early with the arms, some need to love pressure laterally with various ideas presented. Some need more vertical force, rotational, you name it!!! If you ever need clarification on any particular items, just ask and we will help as best we can!
Also, where you play your college golf at? Always fun to hear from players who have competed at a high level!
@@elitegolfschools Augusta State. I’m in the BT (Before Tiger) era. I actually hit the ball better now than college. Your concepts about moving the body in a powerful, efficient way are so impressive. As I said, you have a gift as an explainer and teacher. Things you convey get me excited to get to the range and practice. Based on another of your videos, I actually just ordered a rope and a couple of other things from Weck Method. The journey to hitting more “flushers” never ends.
How did TJ stop the hip thrust when going ‘high energy’, near the end of the video. (Hit the heel of the club) I think I missed the explanation on how to stop that.
Good question! He focused more on the pivot switch. Moving from left hip pressure to right hip pressure through the strike. This allows him to stay dropped in and in hip flexion for longer 🙏
Reminds me of Sean Clements “wisdom in golf”.
Awesome!!
Is lateral head movement okay? I am striking the ball great, with this drill but when I took a face on video. It showed that my head moves back slightly in the back swing and returns to midline at impact.
Lateral head movement is definitely ok 👌 some of the best in the world have done so. However, it’s all about the right amount for each individual player’s recipe. It can certainly be overdone 🙏
How does this relate to all your other videos where the first move is chest sway back? Here you seem to be starting with a pelvic turn.
@@raymondmasleck1657 at end of day both moves move pressure into the trail foot 👍
Finally understood your exercise 😂
Lesgo
Hi, Is the initial pelvic move a "trigger" for the rest of the back-swing? Also please put a search box on your RUclips site (portal) for your videos (there isn't available). Best Regards,
Bruh... that is so counterintuitive for a guy that has been ripping it under plane my whole career.
Hahaha totally get that man!
Riley says “ok now go thru all 3 phases of the system. Whenever you get 2 of these phases are positioned (from here I could not quite understand what he said happens)
What is that???
Third phase is the hit 🙏🙏
I walk around a hula hoop to hit draws and fades! it works most of time!
Good feels!
In the second part of the Maps, I need more explanation about what the arms and club and elbows need to do, from steep (outside) to shallow.
The rotation of the chest/midline is what we are saying can help move the club under the plane… definitely other ways to help organize the club in that transitional phase as well.. lead arm ir, bouncing bends, trail hand supination, etc. just another example of how to move the club under the plane in transition
Do you think the method in the video is a performance of a hitter? I am a little confused about your distinction between a hitter and a swinger.😅
@@jiecao4188 swinger we are classifying as hip extension lumbar tilt and hitter is pelvis dropper and thoracic rotator 🙏
@@elitegolfschools Thanks for your reply. Swingers also lower their pelvis during the transition, and rotate their psoas and abdominal muscles (the thoracic spine actually has no rotation function) and just passively follow. At the same time, the so-called hitter you mentioned also has a tilted lumbar spine in the video, otherwise how can it be MSA. So, I am still confused.
@@jiecao4188 in hitter pattern, pelvis drops. Most people misdiagnose pelvic drop (hip flexion) as lumbar tilt/bend. Swingers will move pelvis laterally and elevate the pelvis which results in lumbar bend and shreds tissue… ie propensity to injury
Hi! Would you consider this a different "map" as compared to the "rib sway" technique in your other vids?
It seems the hula flow technique follows a pelvis/leg driven thought while the rib sway has a rib/upper body driven cue.
Thank you!
Both love the pressure to a trail side bias. However , the pelvis move maintains appropriate midline awareness for most. Can absolutely do both if done properly as they are both ways to move the com of the body away from the target 🙏
🤯🤯😂😂. Are you presetting the hips open? Is this required if you dont have issues with setting the club and keeping arms in front of the body ? I guess I am also saying if there are no issues with going under the plane.
Absolutely not required, just a way to get energy into the swing that will help with what we see out of numerous players
How close are the tolerances in this method ?
Riley, Andy from Korea. When I do this(the pelvis trigger), my club tends to go out and open in the backswing. Feels like my club is too much open in the backswing is it because I exaggerated too much?
Irons are okay, but somehow with the driver, I end up with a push slice. (Thinking I may have lifted my lead shoulder in the backswing..)
Is the pelvic trigger the same as rib sway motion? (Referring to your other video “how to start the golf swing”)
Gentlemen, I was doing so well till you shared this video 😂
Haha it’s a lot for sure! Tell us where you’re stumped!
How does that work with a super strong grip ?
As long as the trail hand opposes the ‘strength’ of the lead hand you’re good!
How do you step out of a pivot when 80% of the weight is on that pivot foot you are trying to step out of?
What am I missing here?
The step drill is simply there to indicate where the pivot is being transitioned to. In essence think of the transitional phase as pivoting from the lead hip complex and the unload phase as coming from the trail hip complex. Great question!
Where is thé ribcage Sway in that kind of move???
Bend to bend brother 🙏
I strive to be as much of a golf nerd as this guy
Dang near impossible 🤓
Very informative video! Golf is a confusing sport, the more I play it the more confusion I have.
My biggest question - can you guys do a video showing principles of iron and driver hit? For example, how club head should travel, how body should apply force, what’s the principle behind that etc.
If it’s a bat swing on a parallel surface, it’s straightforward. But golf is like 45 degree angle, together with your body 3D move, the principle is confusing. Thanks!!!❤❤❤
Definitely some good questions in here that we can elaborate on in future videos 🙏 stay tuned!
@@elitegolfschools especially how club head / shaft travels before and after impact, and how body should move to encourage those movements from happening. Need to understand the principle / mechanics first then able to implement much better. Thanks!
@@jiaweiwang6994 sounds fantastic!!! Love the idea
Guys who tight is your grip from scale 1-10 ? Does it change throughout the swing ?
This is certainly a personal feel for each individual player. All about having pressure in the right areas, and softness in the right areas 👍
Where I went wrong with this plan was reverting back to posting up on lead leg and losing hip flexion. Combining swinging and hitting will not work, duh. I will take this to the range as I have only hit nurf balls in the living room.
Left, Right, Left. If you were to Strike TJ in the Left Oblique he would react by drawing his Right Quad toward the Strike. Pebble in Pond Analogy. From there you rebound with your Right Lat. (Back Chain) This weights toward the Heel. As you rise to the top you now fall toward the left heel. Right Drafts behind Left. It is a Simple LRL Oscillation. Love what you doing!
Thanks for the kind words and insights. Always cool to see how people interpret these concepts
