The Rebuild - Part 3: Is Your Swing Sequence Costing You Distance?

Welcome to The ModGolf Channel. Host Colin Weston talks with golf’s top influencers, entrepreneurs, innovators, and disruptors about their vision to re-imagine, transform, and grow the game.

➡️ The Rebuild - Part 3: Is Your Swing Sequence Costing You Distance?

In this third part of Colin’s golf rebuild series, host Colin Weston teams up again with PGA teaching pro Quinn Vilneff at Gowanus Golf Club in Vancouver to finally tackle the full iron swing that’s been holding him back for years. After fixing the short game in Part 2, they dive deep into sequencing, pelvis position, trail leg extension, and why that old 1980s baseball swing keeps sneaking back in. The result? Colin picks up serious distance and better compression almost instantly.

➡️ In this video, you will learn:

- What smash factor really means and the surprising Rory McIlroy driver controversy lesson
- Why your pelvis position at impact is killing your club path and causing pulls/wipey fades
- The simple “trail leg extension” feels that stops early dipping and creates proper rotation
- How to get your center of mass (sternum & belt buckle) left sooner for better sequencing and compression
- The kinematic sequence explained simply: hands → arms → shoulders → hips (and back down in reverse)

➡️ Pro Tips:

Start getting “left” (pressure to the lead side) as soon as your trail leg extends in the backswing
Use the “third-grade hip bump” feel to move your center of mass toward the target early
Exaggerate the new move in slow rehearsal swings — pros do it because golf is a game of inches
Train indoors this winter with a yoga ball or golf bag against your lead hip to groove the shift without hitting balls
