I’m excited to share with you a part of my recent golf lesson with Jaime, as we worked to say goodbye to the early extension in his swing! With an easy pelvis move you’ll see in the video, he was better able to keep his hips back and create ample space through impact. Jaime is also our team’s go to physical therapist here in the Phoenix area, so it was fun to help him see how a different style of golf swing can help with some of his struggles, both in terms of ball striking and reducing his lower back pain. I hope you enjoy this lesson, and be sure to reach out or join our online academy if you are also looking for help with your swing!

so you’re going to turn it to me stand it up now feel like you start to drop into this P into the pelvis the club turns back to here feel what that feels like yeah now it’s level you just turn chest through okay turn it oh baby see the difference yeah that’s good welcome out everybody today we’re here with haime he’s a partner of ours in physical therapy what’s the name of your company ignite physical therapy and you’re in are you in Gilbert we’re in Gilbert Southeast Gilbert in Gilbert so you help a lot of members here at Superstition Mountain some of the professionals I work with yep so tell me a little bit about your golf background I’ve never seen you swing a golf club yeah basically I had golfed you know maybe once a year or so growing up uh but never really never really played much and then four years ago so it was the end of 2020 uh that’s when I decided I wanted to pick up Golf and start playing and actually trying to get better caught the bug and then I’ve been on the on the journey I take a golf trip with Zach every year and we went and finally I was like you know this would probably be more fun if I didn’t shoot 120 like maybe I’ll try to maybe I’ll try to get good at this so so here we are so basically since then I had a I had an old back injury a disc keration um and as I’ve gotten into golf and I’ve started Pro uh playing more practicing more I’ve had a lot of issues with my low back and causing kind of symptoms down the leg so okay I’m hoping to figure out how to swing a golf club without jacking up my back okay so first thing I want to do then is just kind of have you loosen up I’m going to watch for a minute and just see if I can see any movement issues that could be aggravating things cool there’s some issues there grab me something with a little less Loft okay I see a lot of stuff there that we need to clean up I’m excited okay seen enough for a minute let’s take a look let’s just start with some setup stuff okay as I look at your setup here some of it I like okay some of it I don’t love a lot it’s like your handle’s almost a little too low okay your feet are ducked out too much so your left foot is really like open on a 45 almost and your grip is on the weakish side when we look at left hand grip maybe just slightly weak the right hand’s good now we’re going to get into the movement pattern side of thing so how do you wind up what’s creating the swing for you and what I see is a ton of early arm action so you’re loading your arms very early in the back swing okay okay you’re not using momentum in the big muscles to wind you’re creating the wind early in the arms so if you use your arms really early in the back swing you’re going to use them really early and hard in the downswing now that’s why you look all bunched up right here y okay the other thing we wind up with is your lower half winds up way out from where it starts so if I put your rear end on a wall here and we wind you up you can see you really don’t turn very much in the back swing now see how far everything is shooting out into the golf ball yeah that’s pain Central there when you start seeing the pelvis doing that your belt line is all the way level there’s something’s got to bend down there yeah so you’re you’re bending more than you ought to from the back not enough from the pelvis does that make sense absolutely okay then we look at over here from the face on Viewpoint and we see how as you’re loading your pelvis is not winding around behind you it’s like this kind of a action so if I’m if I wind like this what have I already done I’ve already kind of loaded up this glute this hamstring I’m I’m kind of I’m ready to go right yep what’s going to happen next this way yeah there’s no room to continue the loading yeah we don’t really want to be Max loaded at the top of the back swing necessarily we want to be Max loaded right here at the end of the transition does that make sense yeah I’m like squatted and loaded here so I’m GNA go I’m not I’m not going to go more back if I’m already back yeah the odds are slim yeah okay no that makes sense so you’re not going to do it so you don’t and you actually deliver the golf club really good for what you do normally when I see his pattern that wouldn’t look like that at impact it’s pretty decent so there’s a lot of good I want to work on how you’re winding up I want to see you feel like there’s some movement so now I can go trigger a little left right my center of masses are going to both feel like they’re going up so I’m going to feel like I’m rising and winding and as I do that see how my pelvis kind of turns around behind me yep and then the last thing that gets loaded is my arms and that happens as my body starts to fall does that make sense so yeah the arms your arms are loaded by here yeah boom going to hit I want you to feel a little trigger one see how my arms really haven’t moved relative to my Center wind wind wind wind wind now they’re loaded in that transition phase okay that’s what we’re going to figure out how to do for you like I feel like when I started learning golf it my feel was like I just like lock all this stuff so I can feel that I’m like creating that tension and then uh and then I’m just like turning from there so I’m like taking the fluidity out of the movement and maybe like At first that helped me like start to hit the you know hit the actual Ball but I had tendency to do that even when I like throw is I just muscle everything and I lock it down and just try to like force it through which way is the hand going as the body is going it’s going back so they’re they’re going away from each other but that’s what I mean is I like if you looked at even though I could throw well I got away with it CU I was strong but it wasn’t efficient and I had issues because I wasn’t separating I would just like my throat not to take us down that path but my throwing motion was like I just get cocked and then I just take my lat and I just go and I just rip it forward like that so it could come out but it was like it’s not it’s not good there’s there’s a reason I’m not playing baseball okay so so I think for me feeling the fluidity and not like moving without tension is going to be hard but I can see like for sure how and why that’s what’s going to save your body though yeah what about your pelvis I mean just watching did you see some things that could be causing oh 100% yeah I mean I’m doing a a quadrant test for low back pain and I can feel it especially like as I get more more warmed up and I try to swing harder and harder what I feel is like I go I get like really tight and then I have a tendency to go boom and I just like swing across to the left and then I think because I kind of feel that I’m doing that I’m like oh shoot I better do this together yeah and then I can feel that like if I do that that’s not a comfortable thing for my back for sure definitely not a good thing for and I’m doing it over and over and over so since my surgery I’ve been able to start to feel when I take a swing cuz the the part of the issue is like my back doesn’t really hurt when I I play it’ll be a couple days later or like I said I don’t get too much back pain I’ll get the nerve pain and that’s what I’m like oh man I I screwed up yeah so no that makes sense of what you’re saying and for sure with the pelvis like it’s not I mean it’s not doing anything other than just I’m I’m squatting so I’m going to go from here yeah so that’s where I want to attack this so now it’s how do we develop those patterns so we can change them okay and so let’s let’s start with some some little drills okay I’m going to have you put on a tea okay we’re going to start with just some without the ball probably for the first little bit here and I just want you to kind of get rocking like this okay and then we’re going to wind up and unwind and I want you to really feel your chest and pelvis being a little Freer to turn okay okay and you’re just going to clip some balls out there like that okay okay hold on do that one more time I want I want to you to feel like you turn away from this left arm so start winding keep winding keep winding keep winding the center let this right hip start to work around feel feel where your arms are they’re kind of right in front of you still right yep now you can fall down a little bit and unwind you feel that yeah okay so I need to pattern that yeah that’s hard for me yeah I know you want to really load your arms across you right away for sure good there you go feel that yeah now your legs are starting to load correctly I can see his muscles through his legs or through his pants he’s strong you need to work out yeah you should hit the gym okay good so just hit me some little clippy like literally I don’t want the B see how far the Picker is right there yep I don’t want the ball going past him okay try to feel like those your arms are just following the rest of that action he wants to swat at it so bad okay better little stronger grip so more in the fingers so I need to be this way other way I want you to see like three Knuckles there okay good and when you grip it I want you to have just a little bit of the the cap outside of your grip there you go okay good as you go through this next ball I want you to feel like your your wrists and hands are completely quiet okay you ever throw you ever fill the grounder and toss one without your wrist but like if I was fill a grounder as a short stop I would catch it and I I would toss it like that with a really stiff wrist so you still gave it the scooper action keep that right arm in front of you so go ahead and wind it up good try to keep that long there you go and we’re not really using your arms we’re just turn turn okay okay good good now we’re gonna start adding in our wrist elements and letting our arms load as we transition a little bit so I want you to feel same Little Rock wind let the wrists hinge and see how this club is kind of vertical yep so you’re going to feel like the club’s stood up and very light and then in transition you’re going to feel your arms float almost stretching up some more and the club’s going to have this little drop and that’s just coming from the center of the club head and then you’re going to deliver the golf club gently into the ball like that see what that look like yep in order to do that when this club shallows my pelvis is now going to have to work back if my pelvis goes this way I’m going to have to throw the club down does that make sense yep so you’re going to turn it to me stand it up now feel like you start to drop into this P into the pelvis the club turns back to here feel what that feels like yeah now it’s a level you just turn chest through okay okay so show me that without the ball there you go up under feel that pattern yeah so I I should I want to feel like I’m actively trying to stand it up a little bit okay you’re going to feel like you’re actively standing it up and actively almost twisting that face that direction a little bit for you okay okay and then we can let it fall back this way and into the ball there you go that’s totally different feel that y can you just touch a ball like no follow through I want you just to walk through that motion Square those feet up a little bit ball a little more forward in your stance now walk through that motion perfect now just do that and let the club run into the ball gently okay beautiful we found something that’s good good okay hang on for a second I want to show you something real fast okay come look at the screen so as you’re swinging this club back see how you’re lifting your whole arm unit up yep I don’t want to see that lifting I want you to turn that okay so the grip of the club is going to travel more this direction the club’s going to stand up because of what we’re doing in our wrists and in our rib cage a little bit not lifting the arms up cuz once you lift your arms up like that now you have to drop them back so you’re creating this this big circular motion of your arms your body’s moving like 100% better already though just your arms are doing some funky crap give me a little shift shift the other way turn the triangle keep this more out in front of you and stood up so feel how the arms are kind of long yeah you have some space here now fall down turn through does that feel different yeah it’s just getting the right map in your mind of what you’re trying to do yeah okay turn yeah that looked pretty good it’s hard for me to I can feel that I want to do this you want to get your arms all bunched up against you yeah good okay still had a little loop-de-loop in the arms the middle of his body starting to move nice it’s getting there still has too much Loop in the arm unit I want you to take that golf club and stick it right under your sternum and hold it like this and now we’re going to feel shift turn and keep that structure intact so you turn that turn that triangle feel that so you’re turning that triangle now we can load the wrists and let that off of you but your AR see how your hands are right in front of you more yeah that’s what we want you keep getting you keep getting this to go out this way and then back that way it’s too much of a circle okay good feel that nice turn Bingo there you go okay now try to feel like you’re doing that exact thing holding on to the grip okay turn it oh baby see the difference yeah that’s good turn the grip it’s coming along good grip looks better turn the handle nice hey everyone thanks

This is a proper lesson. Student takes swings, instructor records swings. Instructor shows faults to student and prescribes corrective measures.
I don't understand why this isn't the template for golf instruction. Virtually no "pro" near me does any kind of video recording, which makes it difficult to convey the actual swing fault (feel vs real). I guess they want to make sure their golfers improve only very slowly. Sad.
Another great one from Milo!
People should watch this video like 10 times in a week and let it all sink in. This is Gold. Truly Gold! Thanks Milo!
Always good input. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing this with us Milo
Its really so much better to watch actual lessons than just the standard youtube tips. Seeing the struggles and journey really helps give it context. Im a huge struggler of EE and the takeaway and hip push in the backswing is exactly what i do too. Really well done on this one 👏
Great topic and video! One lesson learned when trying to sit into the trail hip more is that you have to have the pressure recentered onto your front foot before the sit move or you will hit it fat due to pressure in the trail foot. You don’t want to to sit and put more pressure in the trail side – you sit and feel more “downhill” like Milo has shown in the pressure board
This man fixed my drive, genuinely went from topping it to hitting it 260 from one video.
Hoping this does similar to my irons!
Love to see how you transform their swings to produce better results.
Question: Do you ever work with their current swing action rather than rebuild their entire swing? I think I saw you once teach an older student of yours who had very limited rotation to throw the arms down at the ball. It produced better results for him.
great to watch, all things i try to work on and need more of. he's a big guy. thnx for the info.
Squeeze the lemon !!
Very interesting lesson!
