a lot of golfers ask us questions in the comments or send us DMS or emails telling us they have trouble with reentering whether when to do it or how much to do it or just can’t quite get it and we see it a lot in lessons we see it pretty much every day yeah we came up with this term I don’t even know how many years ago now been a while it’s been a while we started looking at swings on Gears and noticing this motion that a lot of these really great players had in the back swinging and into transition and um kind of coined the phrasy centering and kind of put it out there the world and you see a lot of people trying it now but if they don’t get it quite right it can cause more harm than good yeah and it’s cool to see so many golfers and coaches adopting the the mo motion from the term but it’s how it’s accomplished that really makes your breaks whether or not you’re successful at doing it and the reason you want to be successful at doing it because it really gives you an advantage and sets you up for the downswing for rotation posting up on the left side covering the golf ball all those things that see the best players in the world do so let’s talk about what we see golfers trying to do with recentering we see one big issue above all if you don’t film your swing when you’re working get into the habit of doing that because you may see yourself doing what Sean’s going to demonstrate here yeah so I’ll do the the bad basically so um you know little bit of a weight shift into the trail side love to see that in in high level golf swings you see it um more times than not you don’t see a lot of people going straight to the left leg correct so so on the right leg here going back and what we see golfers doing if they kind of get this wrong is they start to reenter with their upper body so yes you can you know get your your mass back towards the middle that way but it it sets you up for this downswing that’s usually going to be Steep and gets your body out of position you made a good point there you almost went right over it it’s it’s getting to the right side or your Trail side first yeah right and then you got to taste it for a little bit yeah now that’s a good point yeah that’s a great point so we’ll just cover some of the pitfalls the first one was this this tipping left or tipping towards a Target where they provide too much to recenter the other one is we see people Eng golfers and they get a little bit of shift into the trail side and they immediately I call it bouncing off it too much it’s almost it’s literally what we call it cuz it’s almost like a wall they bounce into it yeah and then either go back like you said or they’ll just throw the hips forward and and that’s going to get you in trouble as well yeah almost like they use it like a trampoline right cuz I got to get left early well that’s you’re overdoing it now and it it um bothers the sequence of the swing and you you know you shouldn’t be feeling that like Mike said you sit on that right leg for a little bit or Trail leg as the weight of this club gets up over your head that’s when you want to start making your move back to the middle or the center the center so if I you know if I’m in the center here at a dress I’ve got two lines one up each leg like Mike was talking about drawing lines on a video video yourself and draw two lines just barely outside each leg so you can see a little bit of U light so you can see the movement and you’re going to you’re going to see a little shift into the trail side you’re going to stay there for a little while don’t immediately bounce off it you watch any tournament all on TV your men’s or women you’re going to see the best players in the world do this the point about moving to the trail side is when the club head is about shaft parallel on the back swing that’s when the club head is going to be the farthest away it’s ever going to be from the target that’s when you can be the farthest away right you’ll see some get over there early but by this time you’re going to see pretty much every good player maxed out by their Trail side or very close to it it’s not a lot of movement it’s not we’re talking maybe at most with an iron about the width of a golf ball usually between a half a golf ball and a golf ball so not a ton I’m seeing a lot of overdone right but it’s important that little bit’s important yeah it sets off a chain reaction where you can add the reentering here and transition it kind of gives you this little bit of a head start right uh as you make your down swing gives you some of that flow that you see in really good swings you a lot of times you try to figure out why does that look so smooth it’s exactly right the timing of that reentering that kind of makes it all flow together after you get that little bump to the right the club heads the farthest away the club’s eventually going to start pointing back to the Target that’s when you want to just kind of settle back with it you don’t want to beat it we see that a lot if you beat it you’re usually going to bounce back the other way when you start to add momentum forward swing so you’re going to go to the Trail side as it points back you just kind of settle again take this term literally back to the center not way over that’s going to happen in the down swing we’re talking all back swing right now yeah so again back to these two lines every video I look at on online lessons for the last hundred years I draw these two lines just outside each leg so you see a little bit of shift into the trail one by the time you finish your back swing which is where the club kind of changes Direction here you just back between those lines again you you want to be on this side when you pull the club you don’t want to be on this through the line this way when you pull on the club you want to be right back in the middle and that sets you up to shift the right amount going forward that’s exactly right you know one of the comments we get invariably I’m sure we’ll get in on this video is well if I’m eventually going to move forward why don’t I just move forward when I start well it’s it’s no different than like I’m going to jump and try to touch these lights above us why don’t I just I know I’m going to go that way why don’t I just try to not go down and just go straight up because it really robs you of some valuable momentum and some loading in the swing I can load better if I squat down then jump up same with the golf swing you can load better if you allow a little again we’re talking about a golf ball a little less than a golf ball movement this way to create that kind of flow to the swing you call it a counter movement yeah anything you do in in sports like athletic motion imagine that yeah it’s exactly right athletic motion so let’s look at some pros doing this so you can see kind of the variables of when it happens and what it looks like in an actual swing and we’ll come back show you some drills so let’s take a look at a bunch of different style of Swings with different clubs and this is Robert Rock great golf swing but you can see here we got both of his lines started down each side of his leg then really has kind of almost part of his trigger to get the club moving you see that little bump to the right again we’re talking less than a a golf ball so right around an inch inch and a half and we’re talking center of the pelvis when that’s being measured on Gears but you can kind of gauge it by where the right side of his pelvis moves then as he starts to swing up to the top you’re going to see he has a little bit more of an earlier recentering move and what you’re going to see from other golfers dead back in the middle between those two lines and something else to notice that you’re going to see with these great players is his backline is angled slightly away from the Target and as he starts his downswing you’re going to see that angle get preserved so he keeps that back angle slightly tilted away from the target as opposed to that tipping the upper body forward that we see a lot of amateur golfers trying to use to help them reenter then next up we got Chris Kirk one of these smoothest swings on tour I know Chris I know his coach fairly well Scott Hamilton they’ve done a great job together for a long time you see Chris here hitting an iron lies down both sides of his legs and Chris is going to get a little forward press as he bumps away so he bumps to the right a little bit and as he gets going with that patented kind of syrupy back swing you’re going to see him fall right back to the middle right there and then again notice the back line tilted away from the target then as he starts down that’s going to be preserved just like you saw with Robert another good example of how subtle the reentering is how effective it is as well so next up is Adam Scott another Classic golf swing been great for a lot of years now golf swing really hasn’t changed much you’re going to see again that move into that line on his Trail leg as he works up he’s going to start to fall back as the club points back to the Target kind of a real classic textbook version of recentering back between these two lines and again the back line angled away from the target he’s not you he’s not heaving his upper body forward to reenter he’s moving his pelvis forward to shift everything forward our next two golfers are more compact swings bigger guys and more compact swings not nearly as long of back swing as what we’ve seen so far so you’re going to see sep straa here he’s going to get started with again a little bump to the right and the shorter the swing the less movement to the right there’s going to be so you can see he gets a little bump to the right and then he’s going to not have very much to go to get himself back reentered and again like a broken record that back line still angled away and it’s going to shift forward maintaining that same angle as he starts down and another swing that’s very compact very powerful John ROM here here little bit of movement to the right and again the shorter the swing there’s not much time to move far to the right so he doesn’t which gives him very little movement back to the center then again the backline angle on full display here keeping that angle away from the Target on his back line as he starts down and here we got the big cat hitting Three Wood I believe it is three or five wood and he’s going to get a little shift off now the longer the club typically you’re going to get bigger shifts so he’s getting more shift than what be seeing already from the irons again already starting that backline angle that as he moves into the top falls right back dead to the middle again another textbook example of what the recentering looks like and how subtle it is compared to what you may be trying at home and then notice how he shifts forward after his recentering is over and he gets his shift forward how that backline angle is still intact and then lastly we got Brooks here hitting driver going to see a wide A-frame stance get those lines angled out with every Club in the bag but obviously the longer the club the more A-frame you want there to create that stable base you’re going to see a move to his right through the line getting bigger than with what we just saw with tigers 3-wood and then you’re going to see a little bit of a later reentering because of that movement was farther to the right nonetheless Parks himself right back in the middle the back angle fully intact as he starts down it maintains you can tell these none of these players are using their upper body body hoisting their upper body forward or bouncing It Forward they’re doing it just by Shifting the pelvis forward the small amount that they moved away early in the back swing so you saw real players really good players and how they do it now let’s talk about again really emphasize what it is and what it’s not right yeah yeah I think the most important thing to remember when you you’re working on this motion is that it needs to be more of a lower body motion right lots of golfers that are trying to do this you know they do using the tip over we call it and you know you can you can shift some mass that way like I said before it’s not the ideal way to do it because it puts your body in a position a lot of times that’s a steepener right uh when your when your body’s tipped to the toward the target too much so you know when you’re working on it almost like feel like this little half of a figure eight we’ve said that quite a few times but it’s this little shift off with the pelvis just a little bit just step on the right foot is an easy way to think about it cuz that when you step on the right foot you have to have a little bit of mass over there so you get your inch that way and then as you’re finishing the swing it’s a lower body recentering um the upper body comes with it obviously you just don’t want to put this part of your body out this way to do it if you just think of it as you know kind of a half a back swing or kind of left arm parallel back swing I’m just extending a little bit more into top then I’m just shifting and moving my pelvis which carries my spine along with it I don’t want to start to separate and getting those two moving the opposite way and and my problem on the golf course is I I do it too much with just the low you and I were both taught to really get the hips forward yeah and it’s a shallow you know if you got oh you’ll hit you’ll hit some inside outers if you’re a steep player and you come over the top you know back we call it backing in if you really back your butt in a lot you can swing so far uh so much more from into to out so it’s not a bad fix for someone who’s really steep but just for a stock gol swing you know you’re going to back in with you know once you’re to the right here or away from the target you’re just backing in with see how my back is going towards Mike that’s the motion and then you can start unwinding exactly right one of our favorite ways to do this is the simplest way to learn how to do this so let’s have Sean set up to this ball here now just close your eyes okay okay where do you feel the weight between your feet I’m just trying to be basically 50/50 in all directions and that’s what you want to do you want to feel 50/50 again if it’s too hard let’s do it without a club for sex so this we really want closing eyes really heightens your sense so go ahead and just put your arms across your shoulders all right feel that 50/50 still y okay go what would feel like the end of the takeaway be like probably right probably right there okay do you feel more on your Trail side yeah this this leg got a little lighter the knee bent I’m on my trail side a little bit more perfect so again you want to be able to feel these things cuz you’re going to have to do them now just complete the back swing turn and then just fall back to the lead side yeah now a feeling 50/50 with the the mass of my body back in the middle that’s a good way to feel it it’s just this little again this little like half of a figure eight you know it’s hard kind of hard to explain but I think people understand it’s it’s a shift away a turn and then the little shift back to the middle that’s what no arms no Club that’s what the body should do regardless of arms and Club okay now let’s put the club back in play yep okay same thing and we’re still going to be looking for the same checkpoint so um I feel it in my feet you know like Mike is saying you know with your eyes closed it really does force you to think about where the pressure and weight is here in my feet and then as I finish just kind of back just kind of float back to the middle boom and I’m ready to unwind basically so in your mind if you you could think shift turn shift turn and we’ve said that before too it sets this thing up so nicely to give you that nice rhythm in your swing again it wasn’t very drastic you see so many golfers do it that that really are overdoing it exaggerating it to the point where they sure they can feel it but it’s not something they’re going to play with so it’s subtle so make sure you train with the feedback closing your eyes is a great one now if you can’t feel this we’re going to show you another version of it is another way to to make sure you’re doing it correctly um I’ve got two chairs again this is just a back swing drill I’m not going to start the ding because I would run through this chair but two fingers on each side of the chair here so I get my setup position I’m going to feel like as I go back I just barely uh get my hip to this chair I’m not trying to blow through it so hip to the chair as I finish my back swing as this club gets up near the top here I’m just going to come back to the middle without shoving into this chair so what a great way to feel that point in the swing where you would start down in the transition you’re going to feel just into the chair stay on the chair till the arms get up in this area here up kind of chest to shoulder height somewhere up in the top of the Swing depending on how long your swing is and just feel the weight of the club kind of pull me back toward the Middle with my lower lower and upper body then I’m going to I would start unwinding from there and obviously I would push through this chair so this is a great way to do it you can just do it at your house to figure out where you’re going to be halfway back and then recentering to the top of the Swing these two ways and hesitate even call them drills or just sources of feedback one with your eyes closed kind of the least invasive we’ll call it option really feel it or you can actually put chairs to to start to Corral those feels into what you’re doing there’s no better drill in anything than just doing it right and often times that slowing it down breaking it down to the point where you can actually do it apply that same mentality when you learn how to reseter so when you start adding the speed it’ll even feel more and more subtle but videotape yourself to make sure you’re doing it right and then as always let us know if you have any questions what you struggle with doing it we’ll be happy to make more videos to help clear it up we’ll see you on the next one
