Swing Analysis - Fix your worst miss

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.790
All right, golfers, let's do a quick overview for why I suggest fix your worst

2
00:00:08.790 --> 00:00:09.880
miss.

3
00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:15.670
So fix your worst miss is basically whenever the golfer comes in, I'll ask, you

4
00:00:15.670 --> 00:00:16.720
know, what's

5
00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:17.920
what costs you the most strokes?

6
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:18.920
Do you chunk it?

7
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:20.640
Do you top it?

8
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:22.080
Or do you hit it pretty solid?

9
00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:25.280
You hit it the right distance, but you miss them right, you miss them left.

10
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:30.920
That can help us figure out where to look when analyzing your video.

11
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:35.150
As the cat in the in Alice in Wonderland states, if you don't know where you're

12
00:00:35.150 --> 00:00:35.640
going then

13
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.360
any road will take you there.

14
00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:41.020
What I find is when golfers come in and they're just like, well, what do you

15
00:00:41.020 --> 00:00:42.840
see on video?

16
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:46.500
There's probably dozens of different things that all relate to each other, how

17
00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:47.200
those pieces

18
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:48.200
match up.

19
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:52.430
To figure out which is the critical one or the easiest one to start working on

20
00:00:52.430 --> 00:00:52.720
right

21
00:00:52.720 --> 00:00:58.360
away, you want to tie it to the miss.

22
00:00:58.360 --> 00:00:59.440
There's two different scenarios.

23
00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:01.800
You could either just try to build a swing.

24
00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:04.150
So I'm going to work on setup, then I'm going to work on takeaway, then I'm

25
00:01:04.150 --> 00:01:04.680
going to work

26
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:08.080
on setting the club, then I'm going to work on transition.

27
00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:12.960
To go through all those pieces, it might take you a good six or eight months to

28
00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:13.960
work on

29
00:01:13.960 --> 00:01:18.120
enough of the details in those pieces to where you had it working out.

30
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.720
Well, what if you had a release issue?

31
00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:26.520
Very few golfers are going to put in the time to go six or eight months without

32
00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:29.120
having immediate

33
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:33.460
success or without having a big profound success on the way that they contact

34
00:01:33.460 --> 00:01:35.000
the golf ball.

35
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:39.160
The analogy that I give is imagine you have a knee injury.

36
00:01:39.160 --> 00:01:43.390
You could go to some doctors and they would say, okay, we are going to start

37
00:01:43.390 --> 00:01:43.800
working on

38
00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:46.100
the foot and then we're going to work on the ankle and then we're going to work

39
00:01:46.100 --> 00:01:46.240
on

40
00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:50.010
the hip and then we're going to work on the lower back and the rib cage and the

41
00:01:50.010 --> 00:01:50.560
shoulders

42
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:54.760
and the elbows and the wrists and then we'll work on the knee.

43
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:58.610
Or you could go to someone who works directly on the knee to help calm it down

44
00:01:58.610 --> 00:01:59.560
and then circles

45
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.080
back to the other areas.

46
00:02:02.080 --> 00:02:09.150
So most golfers would rather see the instant success and that fuels motivation

47
00:02:09.150 --> 00:02:10.640
and ultimately

48
00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:15.680
I think that it kind of gets your swing moving in the right direction faster.

49
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.910
So when you are prioritizing and picking out which road you want to go on, I

50
00:02:19.910 --> 00:02:20.240
always

51
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:24.800
recommend choosing solid contact or straightening out the ball flight or

52
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:25.680
distance.

53
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.000
So this can either be, I want to hit the ball further or I need to work on my

54
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:30.760
quality of

55
00:02:30.760 --> 00:02:32.320
distance control.

56
00:02:32.320 --> 00:02:37.350
But solid straight far, that's the general goal and then from that I need to

57
00:02:37.350 --> 00:02:38.080
either work

58
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:44.040
on my path, my club face control or my pivot sequencing.

59
00:02:44.040 --> 00:02:48.880
Those kind of all relate to each other but by having a specific goal it will be

60
00:02:48.880 --> 00:02:49.680
something

61
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.620
that you can go back to and check on video each time and it will help you when

62
00:02:53.620 --> 00:02:54.200
you start

63
00:02:54.200 --> 00:03:02.830
to get lost or it will help you recognize when it's time to move on because oft

64
00:03:02.830 --> 00:03:03.920
entimes

65
00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:08.810
golfers want to work on the same thing past the point where it's really

66
00:03:08.810 --> 00:03:09.960
beneficial.

67
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:13.420
If you're struggling with solid contact and hitting the ball straight, work on

68
00:03:13.420 --> 00:03:13.760
solid

69
00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:18.610
contact until that's no longer the major, major issue and then you can start

70
00:03:18.610 --> 00:03:19.200
working

71
00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:21.520
on something that hits the ball straight.

72
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:26.100
So keep this in mind, pick the benchmark that you're trying to improve, that'll

73
00:03:26.100 --> 00:03:26.360
be

74
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:34.350
your kind of objective, how well am I actually doing and then choose the major

75
00:03:34.350 --> 00:03:35.560
component

76
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:39.480
that you're going to work on and analyze your video related to that component.

77
00:03:39.480 --> 00:03:41.470
That's what we're going to do in the rest of the videos, we're going to tailor

78
00:03:41.470 --> 00:03:42.000
our video

79
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.400
analysis to each of these keys.

80
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.730
So in general, when you're working on solid contact, we're going to look from

81
00:03:47.730 --> 00:03:48.160
the face

82
00:03:48.160 --> 00:03:53.870
on camera primarily and we're going to look at P six or shaft parallel, P seven

83
00:03:53.870 --> 00:03:54.680
impact

84
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:59.120
and P eight shaft parallel that gives you a lot of the details of the release.

85
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.880
I've one specific video for if you're shanking the ball, what are some ways you

86
00:04:02.880 --> 00:04:03.400
can look

87
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:09.200
at video to identify what's the root cause of your shank because that is such a

88
00:04:09.200 --> 00:04:09.960
painful

89
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.280
and challenging miss pattern.

90
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.760
When it comes to hitting the ball straight, we're going to look at both of the

91
00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:16.480
major patterns

92
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:18.520
of slice and hook.

93
00:04:18.520 --> 00:04:21.500
But when it comes to hitting the ball straight, we're primarily going to look

94
00:04:21.500 --> 00:04:22.000
at P six and

95
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:23.000
P eight.

96
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:28.640
So shaft parallel from the down the line on both sides of the golf ball.

97
00:04:28.640 --> 00:04:31.690
When it comes to hitting the ball far, we're going to look at the top of the

98
00:04:31.690 --> 00:04:32.320
swing, that

99
00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:36.160
P six magic checkpoint again, and then as well as impact.

100
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.410
So in the rest of the program, we're going to dig into analyzing the videos

101
00:04:39.410 --> 00:04:39.960
from these

102
00:04:39.960 --> 00:04:41.440
different perspectives.

103
00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:47.320
They're much closer to becoming your own best golf coach.
