Low Point - Solid Contact Details

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.560
Now that you've played around with low point, we're going to get into a little

2
00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:07.900
bit of the

3
00:00:07.900 --> 00:00:11.320
details of how to control the low point, but we're still going to do it in a

4
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:11.880
little bit

5
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:12.880
higher level.

6
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:17.360
We're going to look at the merry-go-round and the pushball drill.

7
00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:20.950
The merry-go-round will help you figure out where you want your body to be at

8
00:00:20.950 --> 00:00:21.640
impact.

9
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:27.880
So we talked about the two main factors being this upper body position.

10
00:00:27.880 --> 00:00:31.340
We're going to give you a drill to help you dial in exactly where you want that

11
00:00:31.340 --> 00:00:31.800
body to

12
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:33.960
be at impact.

13
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.200
And then looking at the arm timing, if you're used to straightening the arms

14
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:38.040
into the ball,

15
00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:43.730
kind of more of a hit into the ball, then getting into this impact position and

16
00:00:43.730 --> 00:00:44.580
learning

17
00:00:44.580 --> 00:00:48.990
to extend those arms and push the arms through the ball will give you kind of a

18
00:00:48.990 --> 00:00:49.760
good timing

19
00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:52.880
as far as the arm straightening later.

20
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:57.710
In the subsequent rounds, when we go through the low point drills, we are going

21
00:00:57.710 --> 00:00:58.420
to dig in

22
00:00:58.420 --> 00:01:03.000
a little bit deeper into some of the subtleties of these two drills.

23
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:09.200
Once you've worked through those drills, then you want to go into doing some 9

24
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:10.580
to 3s, 10

25
00:01:10.580 --> 00:01:14.380
to 2s, up to full swings, and monitor your ground contact.

26
00:01:14.380 --> 00:01:18.410
So I recommend keeping those lines as you're working through the low point

27
00:01:18.410 --> 00:01:18.900
drill.

28
00:01:18.900 --> 00:01:24.490
So don't fret or don't worry too much if you don't perfect it this first time

29
00:01:24.490 --> 00:01:25.420
around.

30
00:01:25.420 --> 00:01:29.310
We're going to dig into more layers as to how you're going to control low point

31
00:01:29.310 --> 00:01:29.580
.

32
00:01:29.580 --> 00:01:34.450
But this will just help you understand if you're iron contact, so one of those

33
00:01:34.450 --> 00:01:34.860
core

34
00:01:34.860 --> 00:01:36.020
four skills.

35
00:01:36.020 --> 00:01:40.510
If your iron contact is struggling mostly because of contact, then this will

36
00:01:40.510 --> 00:01:41.060
help you

37
00:01:41.060 --> 00:01:46.560
investigate what's going on, what do I need to work on as far as controlling

38
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:47.700
low point.

39
00:01:47.700 --> 00:01:50.900
In the next class, we're going to talk about hitting the ball straight.

40
00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:54.670
Sometimes, your low point issues show up because of how you're controlling the

41
00:01:54.670 --> 00:01:56.540
clubface, so

42
00:01:56.540 --> 00:02:01.420
the next round might actually help you also work on your contact as well as

43
00:02:01.420 --> 00:02:02.300
hitting the

44
00:02:02.300 --> 00:02:03.460
ball much straighter.

45
00:02:03.460 --> 00:02:09.640
If you struggle with a big slice or a big hook, the next round is set up just

46
00:02:09.640 --> 00:02:10.540
for you.
