Too Much Out-To-In Path

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.740
In this concept video, we're going to troubleshoot the path being too much

2
00:00:08.740 --> 00:00:10.360
outside in.

3
00:00:10.360 --> 00:00:15.920
So if you're in this section, you've kind of tried some of the path drills and

4
00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:16.560
you're

5
00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:21.800
getting stuck with the club being on a path that's too much outside in.

6
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:26.890
So that ends up looking more like this, from the down the line, the club is

7
00:00:26.890 --> 00:00:27.520
coming a little

8
00:00:27.520 --> 00:00:33.410
bit more outside like this and then swinging to the left compared to the target

9
00:00:33.410 --> 00:00:33.760
.

10
00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:40.160
The most common causes of that outside in path are either powering it too fast

11
00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:40.800
with your

12
00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:48.380
upper body at the top of the swing or two having too much left arm rotation or

13
00:00:48.380 --> 00:00:49.080
leftward

14
00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:51.800
rotation of either the right arm or the left arm.

15
00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:58.000
So oftentimes that right arm will kind of go into more of a kind of throw

16
00:00:58.000 --> 00:00:59.360
pattern or more

17
00:00:59.360 --> 00:01:04.540
of a kind of hip check type thing where it goes this way or that left arm will

18
00:01:04.540 --> 00:01:05.000
really

19
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:06.000
pull.

20
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:10.440
So basically, I'm getting this pulling action happening from the arms.

21
00:01:10.440 --> 00:01:14.250
In lieu of that, if I keep my arms pretty quiet but then I just spin and my

22
00:01:14.250 --> 00:01:14.920
upper body

23
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:20.590
gets on top of it kind of more like a lunge, those two power moves will tend to

24
00:01:20.590 --> 00:01:21.160
create

25
00:01:21.160 --> 00:01:23.960
more of this outside in path pattern.

26
00:01:23.960 --> 00:01:27.250
Now one of the things that you'll want to do is you'll want to look at your

27
00:01:27.250 --> 00:01:27.760
video to

28
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:31.240
identify when you're coming outside in.

29
00:01:31.240 --> 00:01:36.820
So both those examples would show up as the club being outside in by the time

30
00:01:36.820 --> 00:01:37.880
you get

31
00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:39.960
to waste parallel.

32
00:01:39.960 --> 00:01:43.560
So if you go up to the top of the swing and the club is well outside the hands

33
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:44.080
compared

34
00:01:44.080 --> 00:01:48.000
to the stick on the ground or compared to parallel, then you know that it was

35
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:48.400
one of

36
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:54.040
those power source issues early in transition that was causing you to get off.

37
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:59.430
But if the club is inside your hands and then going way outside in down at the

38
00:01:59.430 --> 00:02:00.280
bottom,

39
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:05.400
that's more of this steep release from the arm action.

40
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:12.430
That's more of the shoulders and the arms going into rotation kind of like this

41
00:02:12.430 --> 00:02:14.240
and rehinging.

42
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:19.950
So the easy solutions if it's down towards the bottom is more learning about

43
00:02:19.950 --> 00:02:20.780
how to keep

44
00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:25.290
that right arm a little bit more under the left and how to keep some of that ul

45
00:02:25.290 --> 00:02:26.280
nar deviation

46
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:30.350
so that more of the club rotation is happening from the forearm position

47
00:02:30.350 --> 00:02:32.640
instead of the shoulder.

48
00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:38.650
Most of you I'd say over 95% that I see on this site will tend to be outside in

49
00:02:38.650 --> 00:02:39.240
early

50
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:45.740
and that's coming either from the arm rotation or too much power from spinning

51
00:02:45.740 --> 00:02:46.680
that body.

52
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.550
So the drills in the section that you'll want to focus on are more of the

53
00:02:50.550 --> 00:02:51.780
drills that help

54
00:02:51.780 --> 00:02:58.100
get the power coming more from the lower body or feeling the arms shallowing as

55
00:02:58.100 --> 00:02:58.860
opposed

56
00:02:58.860 --> 00:03:00.180
to steepening.

57
00:03:00.180 --> 00:03:04.090
That usually gets you in the right direction where you can help clean up the

58
00:03:04.090 --> 00:03:04.740
contact or

59
00:03:04.740 --> 00:03:08.500
clean up the direction I should say, that's shallowing.

60
00:03:08.500 --> 00:03:12.700
But I was alluding to there or one thing that you have to watch out for is if

61
00:03:12.700 --> 00:03:13.480
you're used

62
00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:17.130
to a steep pattern like this and you start getting shallow, you have to watch

63
00:03:17.130 --> 00:03:17.580
out for

64
00:03:17.580 --> 00:03:21.870
bottoming out behind the golf ball because of what we showed that that does to

65
00:03:21.870 --> 00:03:22.420
the path

66
00:03:22.420 --> 00:03:23.540
of the hula hoop.

67
00:03:23.540 --> 00:03:27.640
So if that's the case, if it's bottoming out there, then I'm probably doing too

68
00:03:27.640 --> 00:03:27.980
much

69
00:03:27.980 --> 00:03:32.100
of the shallow with my body and not enough of the shallow with the arms.

70
00:03:32.100 --> 00:03:35.820
So hopefully this video helps you give you a little bit of guidance as to how

71
00:03:35.820 --> 00:03:36.220
to look

72
00:03:36.220 --> 00:03:41.310
at your swing on video and figure out what's the reason for the outside in

73
00:03:41.310 --> 00:03:41.580
pattern so you

74
00:03:41.580 --> 00:03:44.330
can get your path a little bit more neutral and your ball flight a little bit

75
00:03:44.330 --> 00:03:44.900
straighter.

76
00:03:44.900 --> 00:03:47.740
Okay, so we'll demonstrate a couple of those.

77
00:03:47.740 --> 00:03:52.580
So here's the outside in more from the body spinning.

78
00:03:52.580 --> 00:03:59.280
So if I bring it back, outside in more from the body spinning will tend to look

79
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:00.500
like that.

80
00:04:00.500 --> 00:04:04.650
You'll tend to see from the face on view your upper body is more kind of on top

81
00:04:04.650 --> 00:04:06.060
like this.

82
00:04:06.060 --> 00:04:07.820
Now I'll do it more from the shoulders.

83
00:04:07.820 --> 00:04:14.140
So oftentimes in this one, I'll even have my body in a little bit more of a

84
00:04:14.140 --> 00:04:16.340
closed position

85
00:04:16.340 --> 00:04:20.500
because the arm rotation kind of outraces my body.

86
00:04:20.500 --> 00:04:24.780
So with either sense what you'll see is, or with either of those patterns what

87
00:04:24.780 --> 00:04:25.260
you'll

88
00:04:25.260 --> 00:04:31.510
see is in order to correct it, I'm going to feel a little bit softer with the

89
00:04:31.510 --> 00:04:32.100
arms to

90
00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:36.540
let them drop and power it more from the hip rotation instead of the shoulder

91
00:04:36.540 --> 00:04:36.900
and the

92
00:04:36.900 --> 00:04:40.580
body rotation.
