Too Much In-To-Out Path

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.460
In this content video, we're going to discuss struggling with the path being

2
00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:09.440
too much into

3
00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:10.440
out.

4
00:00:10.440 --> 00:00:14.320
So this shows up when you have too many shallows in your swing, and basically

5
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:16.680
the club is swinging

6
00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:22.820
into out or low to high or way out to the right of the target for a right-

7
00:00:22.820 --> 00:00:24.560
handed golfer.

8
00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:29.010
The most common reasons for the club going more into out, the most common would

9
00:00:29.010 --> 00:00:29.320
be a

10
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:33.600
lack of body rotation and more of the early extension pattern.

11
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:37.940
That will tend to drop the club from the inside and cause it to want to follow

12
00:00:37.940 --> 00:00:39.540
the body pivot

13
00:00:39.540 --> 00:00:45.760
so the arms swing way outside or way out to the right, so that tends to go more

14
00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:46.520
like this.

15
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.930
If that's the case, you'll have a hard time taking divots, you'll tend to hit

16
00:00:49.930 --> 00:00:50.360
lots of

17
00:00:50.360 --> 00:00:53.000
draws, maybe even some pole draws.

18
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.670
You could be an okay driver of the golf ball that way, but you might struggle

19
00:00:55.670 --> 00:00:56.080
with your

20
00:00:56.080 --> 00:00:59.920
iron contact, you'd be more of a picker.

21
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:05.980
The other option is if I do stay down, then what can happen is if I'm too wrist

22
00:01:05.980 --> 00:01:07.200
y or too

23
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:12.750
kind of flippy, if I rehinge my wrist really quickly and kind of pull in, that

24
00:01:12.750 --> 00:01:13.580
will also

25
00:01:13.580 --> 00:01:20.000
tend to get this path into out, but not because of the body pivot, more because

26
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:21.040
my arms got

27
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.940
behind and then when they caught up, they tended to do this lifting move, if I

28
00:01:24.940 --> 00:01:25.840
'm exaggerating

29
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:27.580
it.

30
00:01:27.580 --> 00:01:32.820
Typically, the easiest solution for more of the, when you have the path coming

31
00:01:32.820 --> 00:01:33.320
too much

32
00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:37.160
in out is less about feeling a lot of transition issues.

33
00:01:37.160 --> 00:01:42.160
It's more about feeling where the club needs to be in the follow through.

34
00:01:42.160 --> 00:01:46.000
The body more turned, the shoulder more down helps take away the early

35
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:47.480
extension component.

36
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:53.310
At the early extension, the shoulder gets up and the body doesn't turn as much,

37
00:01:53.310 --> 00:01:53.640
so this

38
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.520
can feel like you're covering the ball or you're like you're swinging a little

39
00:01:56.520 --> 00:01:56.960
bit more

40
00:01:56.960 --> 00:01:59.080
lower in the follow through.

41
00:01:59.080 --> 00:02:04.530
If it's more of the wrist component where they get behind you and tend to go in

42
00:02:04.530 --> 00:02:04.840
out,

43
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.130
you might want to check out some of the other videos on the backswing where we

44
00:02:08.130 --> 00:02:08.880
keep the arm

45
00:02:08.880 --> 00:02:14.120
more in front instead of letting it get behind, or we can use that same follow

46
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:14.440
through, which

47
00:02:14.440 --> 00:02:19.890
is instead of finishing way up here, finishing more closer to belly button

48
00:02:19.890 --> 00:02:21.040
height and more

49
00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:23.440
around to the left.

50
00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:27.600
The big early extension pattern stand up and kind of flip like this.

51
00:02:27.600 --> 00:02:33.840
You can see I finish way out to the right and those arms tend to go very high.

52
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:41.810
If I was to correct the body and the arms, they'll finish much more low around

53
00:02:41.810 --> 00:02:42.560
to the

54
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:46.640
left and that helps neutralize the ball flight.

55
00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:48.160
So hopefully this helps you.

56
00:02:48.160 --> 00:02:54.070
If you're looking for the source on video, first thing I would check would be,

57
00:02:54.070 --> 00:02:55.080
again,

58
00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:00.890
that P6, that shaft parallel checkpoint, and look has my body shifted way up

59
00:03:00.890 --> 00:03:01.880
and not rotated

60
00:03:01.880 --> 00:03:04.320
and is the club way inside my hands.

61
00:03:04.320 --> 00:03:08.420
If that's the case, I'd probably go after the body pivot first of working on

62
00:03:08.420 --> 00:03:08.960
staying

63
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:12.400
in your posture and getting a little bit more turned there.

64
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.540
But if that's okay and the club is still finishing way up there, maybe with a

65
00:03:16.540 --> 00:03:17.040
little

66
00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:22.280
bit of late stand up, so from here through the ball you see more of this

67
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:22.960
lifting action

68
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:28.520
and it's probably more of this rehinging or lifting of the arms, kind of more

69
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.180
like that

70
00:03:30.180 --> 00:03:33.960
as opposed to a pure body pivot issue.

71
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:39.610
So if it's okay here, but then not okay there, it's more of a release arm issue

72
00:03:39.610 --> 00:03:40.480
, and if it's

73
00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:44.960
not okay here, then that's probably more of a pivot or a power source issue.

74
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:49.470
But as always, use the video to help diagnose so you can accurately come up

75
00:03:49.470 --> 00:03:50.480
with what area

76
00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:53.480
you need to work on and then experiment with a few drills.

77
00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:57.890
You should see a noticeable change almost instantly on video as well as the

78
00:03:57.890 --> 00:03:58.520
quality

79
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.880
of strike and you just have to put in reps to make it feel a little bit more

80
00:04:01.880 --> 00:04:02.640
automatic.

81
00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:10.010
Okay, so quick demo, the stand up of the body, oftentimes with a steepening of

82
00:04:10.010 --> 00:04:10.880
the arms.

83
00:04:10.880 --> 00:04:13.800
So that's that early extension pattern.

84
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:19.980
And then the second one would be more of a late early extension, more from the

85
00:04:19.980 --> 00:04:20.680
arm action

86
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:24.010
working a little bit more up that can tend to cause more of that pull start

87
00:04:24.010 --> 00:04:24.480
line.

88
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:30.950
So then we'll go to the fix, in both cases, we're going to feel a little bit

89
00:04:30.950 --> 00:04:33.440
more down

90
00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:38.940
and arms kind of rotating around with the body, staying a little bit more down

91
00:04:38.940 --> 00:04:39.480
as opposed

92
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:43.080
to coming up.
