00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.940
The goal is to cover how we see speed, both on 3D and then somewhat visually.
2
00:00:07.940 --> 00:00:12.720
As a little bonus topic, we're going to cover some wrist anatomy.
3
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:18.600
I did a presentation for the World Golf Fitness Summit where I went into what
4
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:19.200
the arms do
5
00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:20.960
during the downswing.
6
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:25.730
As a bonus, I'm going to record a little updated version, so a little bit more
7
00:00:25.730 --> 00:00:26.400
in depth on
8
00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:31.170
a couple different topics, but I'm going to record a version of that for the
9
00:00:31.170 --> 00:00:31.920
coaches in
10
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:33.440
the very near future.
11
00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:38.210
And then after we go through that, we're going to go over the questions and the
12
00:00:38.210 --> 00:00:40.680
swing discussions.
13
00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:44.500
So I'm not quite sure how long this is going to take, but I'm willing to stay
14
00:00:44.500 --> 00:00:44.920
on as long
15
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.800
as we have questions to answer.
16
00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:55.200
Okay, so as far as seeing speed from 3D, the most common way to look at it is
17
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:56.080
if you're
18
00:00:56.080 --> 00:01:04.250
looking at the downswing, so we've got a kinematic sequence graph, you look for
19
00:01:04.250 --> 00:01:06.000
how long and
20
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:12.530
how much one part of the body is moving faster than the more proximal part of
21
00:01:12.530 --> 00:01:13.680
the body.
22
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:18.450
So for example, if I have my hips or the red line on top of the green line,
23
00:01:18.450 --> 00:01:18.920
that means
24
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.920
my hips are moving faster than my torso.
25
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:27.560
That means I'm stretching and creating some power that way.
26
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:35.460
The filtium wrote an article that you can find on his website about stretching,
27
00:01:35.460 --> 00:01:36.000
writing,
28
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.430
or fanning, or basically the three different muscle activations you've got
29
00:01:39.430 --> 00:01:40.320
concentric when
30
00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:47.360
it is the muscle is shortening or activating.
31
00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:54.480
I'm getting a call from Tech Support, hello?
32
00:01:54.480 --> 00:02:12.880
Okay, was it not showing when, could you hear me?
33
00:02:12.880 --> 00:02:16.800
Okay, I will take away, I will go back and not do full swing, thanks.
34
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:24.820
Alright, so it sounds like I can't use the presenter view when using it, so we
35
00:02:24.820 --> 00:02:25.920
're going
36
00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:30.640
to go through it this way, right here.
37
00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:36.720
Okay, sorry about that, I guess this is why we're doing these beta tests.
38
00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:41.730
Okay, for the topics of the webinar, we're going to cover 3D and the Mach 3
39
00:02:41.730 --> 00:02:42.800
system, we're
40
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.460
going to get into some little bit more wrist anatomy in depth, and then we're
41
00:02:46.460 --> 00:02:46.960
going to
42
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:52.740
cover the coaches swing, or the swing submissions as well as the coaches
43
00:02:52.740 --> 00:02:53.480
questions.
44
00:02:53.480 --> 00:02:57.590
So generally when we're looking at creating power, we're looking at the kinem
45
00:02:57.590 --> 00:02:58.440
atic sequence
46
00:02:58.440 --> 00:03:06.000
and we're looking at the transition, primarily the first half of the downswing.
47
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:11.240
So basically when the lines go from negative to positive, and in what order.
48
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:18.530
So Phil Cheetham wrote an article that you can read on his website, but simply
49
00:03:18.530 --> 00:03:19.180
if the
50
00:03:19.180 --> 00:03:22.530
segment closer to the ground is moving faster than the segment closer to the
51
00:03:22.530 --> 00:03:23.280
club, you're
52
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.560
loading or you're stretching that segment.
53
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:32.660
So in this case, we're looking at the red line being the pelvis and the green
54
00:03:32.660 --> 00:03:33.680
line being
55
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:39.460
the torso, and what we're seeing is the red line cross zero first, followed by
56
00:03:39.460 --> 00:03:40.040
the green
57
00:03:40.040 --> 00:03:44.080
line, and you'll see all this space right here where the red line is over the
58
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:45.480
green line.
59
00:03:45.480 --> 00:03:51.980
They're creating a little bit of a stretch, and that one Dr. Rose has talked
60
00:03:51.980 --> 00:03:53.000
about, you
61
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.770
could take the space or the volume between those two curves and create some
62
00:03:57.770 --> 00:03:59.000
type of measurement
63
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.480
for the amount of power gained within one segment.
64
00:04:02.480 --> 00:04:08.480
So in this right here, both segments are moving at about the same speed.
65
00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:15.960
And then this over here, the segment is moving slower.
66
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:23.680
So that would look, we're testing.
67
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.880
So if we use, we'll use the pelvis because that's what that was essentially
68
00:04:27.880 --> 00:04:29.020
demonstrating.
69
00:04:29.020 --> 00:04:33.790
So basically the first graph where the lower body is increasing stretch, you
70
00:04:33.790 --> 00:04:34.240
would see
71
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:37.480
the lower body move away from the upper body.
72
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:41.200
So that would look kind of more like that.
73
00:04:41.200 --> 00:04:45.920
The second one, you would see these two segments move together.
74
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:50.950
And then the third one, you would see the upper body kind of leaving behind the
75
00:04:50.950 --> 00:04:51.480
lower
76
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:55.760
body.
77
00:04:55.760 --> 00:05:00.720
All right.
78
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:05.490
So one of the interesting things, that's one way to look at power comparing
79
00:05:05.490 --> 00:05:06.080
different
80
00:05:06.080 --> 00:05:11.060
golfer, but it's also a good way to look at power when you're comparing
81
00:05:11.060 --> 00:05:12.520
different swings.
82
00:05:12.520 --> 00:05:21.000
So for example, I've got the same tour golfer, very elite golfer, and I've got
83
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:22.160
it zoomed
84
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:25.040
in on his transition sequence.
85
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.240
So you can see the red is above the green for a long period of time.
86
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.680
The green is above the blue for a long period of time.
87
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:36.670
The blue has a little bit of writing through here, and then the blue is well
88
00:05:36.670 --> 00:05:37.440
above the
89
00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:39.160
brown for a long period of time.
90
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.600
So the red above the green, that's his core load.
91
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:50.500
The green above the blue shows that there's not a whole lot of shoulder load,
92
00:05:50.500 --> 00:05:51.800
but there's
93
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:53.000
a tiny bit.
94
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:58.950
And then the blue above the brown shows that there's a fair amount of wrist
95
00:05:58.950 --> 00:06:00.440
load, or it
96
00:06:00.440 --> 00:06:05.240
could be elbow, but in this case it's wrist.
97
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:09.120
This is the same golfer if you look at his pitch sequence.
98
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.080
So this is more of a 30 yard shot.
99
00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:18.800
So on a 30 yard shot, you can see that he's got the red above the green.
100
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:22.360
So his hips are leading, he's got a little bit of a hip stretch.
101
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:27.130
But then if we kind of jump over here, the club is moving faster than the arm,
102
00:06:27.130 --> 00:06:27.480
the arm
103
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.600
is moving faster than the torso, the torso is moving faster than the hips.
104
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:37.390
That's the classic fanning and creates more of a kind of coasting type look, or
105
00:06:37.390 --> 00:06:38.240
everything
106
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:43.760
looking like it's moving in rhythm.
107
00:06:43.760 --> 00:06:48.530
Where in the full swing version, you'll see a lot more of kind of a dynamic
108
00:06:48.530 --> 00:06:50.080
loading sequence.
109
00:06:50.080 --> 00:06:51.080
Okay.
110
00:06:51.080 --> 00:07:01.170
And not everyone has access to 3D, so here's a version of how you can see it in
111
00:07:01.170 --> 00:07:02.280
2D.
112
00:07:02.280 --> 00:07:09.370
So in 2D, if you're looking for the loading, you want to look for the lower
113
00:07:09.370 --> 00:07:10.720
body leading
114
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:11.720
first.
115
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.840
I use a reference of basically the thighs getting parallel to the ground.
116
00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:20.390
So you'll see this is Cameron Champ, obviously a long hitter, gets his thighs
117
00:07:20.390 --> 00:07:21.280
back parallel
118
00:07:21.280 --> 00:07:28.720
to the target line, roughly when the lead arm is parallel to the ground.
119
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:32.900
Then from there, you'll see the chest getting roughly parallel to the target
120
00:07:32.900 --> 00:07:33.440
line.
121
00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:35.640
About the time the shaft is parallel to the ground.
122
00:07:35.640 --> 00:07:40.440
He's actually earlier than that, which is pretty impressive.
123
00:07:40.440 --> 00:07:46.230
And then lastly, you'll see the arms and hands kind of going through two
124
00:07:46.230 --> 00:07:50.520
different versions.
125
00:07:50.520 --> 00:07:53.680
Collecting some clips so I can do an analysis on him because obviously
126
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:54.480
everybody loves to
127
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:56.520
talk about his swing right now.
128
00:07:56.520 --> 00:08:04.040
He had a great win and very, very impressive what he's able to do off the tee.
129
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:09.040
So here you can see from the face on view, you basically just have to look for,
130
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:09.480
look
131
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:15.580
at this block here moving before his chest and then his chest essentially
132
00:08:15.580 --> 00:08:16.800
moving before
133
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:17.800
his arms.
134
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:22.350
You notice how during that zone right through there, there's not much shoulder
135
00:08:22.350 --> 00:08:23.600
and arm action.
136
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:27.220
Most of that is happening from the body and then down through there, you'll see
137
00:08:27.220 --> 00:08:27.840
more of
138
00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:28.840
the arm action.
139
00:08:28.840 --> 00:08:33.560
So that's the closest way you can look at it from 2D, either looking at the
140
00:08:33.560 --> 00:08:33.880
down the
141
00:08:33.880 --> 00:08:38.420
line and looking at the parallel, the relationships compared to the target line
142
00:08:38.420 --> 00:08:39.400
, or from the face
143
00:08:39.400 --> 00:08:43.080
on view and just kind of scrubbing back and forth.
144
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:50.320
So then, that's kind of the way to look at the power in the golf swing.
145
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:57.160
This brings me to my trip down to San Antonio and checking out Mike Room Tausky
146
00:08:57.160 --> 00:08:58.560
's program.
147
00:08:58.560 --> 00:09:02.900
So I first saw some of the stuff Mike was posting with messing around with
148
00:09:02.900 --> 00:09:03.600
ropes and
149
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:11.590
I'll show some videos that I just thought, "Hey, you know, Dr. Kwan was talking
150
00:09:11.590 --> 00:09:12.280
about
151
00:09:12.280 --> 00:09:17.330
rope swinging a few years ago as a good way to feel kind of the load and being
152
00:09:17.330 --> 00:09:17.920
able to
153
00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:23.700
feel more of the force coming from the body instead of from the hands or from
154
00:09:23.700 --> 00:09:24.680
the couple."
155
00:09:24.680 --> 00:09:28.040
This seems like just a bigger extension on that.
156
00:09:28.040 --> 00:09:35.940
While I got some good benefit from using the small ropes, I've seen a lot more
157
00:09:35.940 --> 00:09:36.200
even in
158
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:42.230
the first summer, few, I'd say, month and a half that I've been really messing
159
00:09:42.230 --> 00:09:42.840
around
160
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:46.020
with looking at Mike's stuff.
161
00:09:46.020 --> 00:09:53.240
So he uses in his, I should not say whips, it should, so at his club or at his
162
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:54.280
facility,
163
00:09:54.280 --> 00:10:02.180
he uses ropes, chains and hoses, not whips, so that'll be corrected for the
164
00:10:02.180 --> 00:10:03.600
presentation.
165
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:11.600
I felt the chains and the ropes were the best.
166
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:15.870
The hoses have a really interesting feel to them, but I'm probably not going to
167
00:10:15.870 --> 00:10:16.560
implement
168
00:10:16.560 --> 00:10:21.500
a whole lot of the hose stuff in my particular facility.
169
00:10:21.500 --> 00:10:25.540
I'm definitely going to be implementing a bunch of the rope stuff, and I'm
170
00:10:25.540 --> 00:10:26.080
going to
171
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.850
do my best to get some of the chains because I will show you quickly the chain
172
00:10:30.850 --> 00:10:31.200
stuff was
173
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.720
really, really neat.
174
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.680
And that was what I would say is the main benefit to going down.
175
00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:42.450
You'll get to, if you go and have a chance to meet with him, he's got some
176
00:10:42.450 --> 00:10:43.040
pretty good
177
00:10:43.040 --> 00:10:49.880
protocols on how thick of a rope to use, how the width of or the length of the
178
00:10:49.880 --> 00:10:50.480
PVC, the
179
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:51.480
width of the PVC.
180
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:57.950
So he's got all these different kind of stations set up that you can try out,
181
00:10:57.950 --> 00:10:59.140
and it was neat
182
00:10:59.140 --> 00:11:02.710
to go there in his group because the ones that were really beneficial for me
183
00:11:02.710 --> 00:11:03.220
weren't
184
00:11:03.220 --> 00:11:07.490
necessarily the ones that were really beneficial for some of the other guys and
185
00:11:07.490 --> 00:11:08.340
vice versa.
186
00:11:08.340 --> 00:11:13.100
But one of the stations that everybody seemed to love was the chain.
187
00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:21.150
Okay, so as far as the speed goes, he's got 10 kind of rules that he goes
188
00:11:21.150 --> 00:11:22.440
through as
189
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:28.220
far as when you're training speed, you should be primarily focused on speed or
190
00:11:28.220 --> 00:11:29.180
100% focused
191
00:11:29.180 --> 00:11:31.080
on speed.
192
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.440
To do that, you need to do short sets.
193
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.440
He keeps his sets less than eight seconds.
194
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:44.840
So it's short fast intense rest, but he wants to maintain that throughout.
195
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:49.580
You don't do speed training to basically fatigue yourself.
196
00:11:49.580 --> 00:11:52.020
You shouldn't walk out the door feeling beat up.
197
00:11:52.020 --> 00:11:57.100
You should walk out the door feeling like you could swing your fastest.
198
00:11:57.100 --> 00:12:02.890
So part of that, he does short sets with a lot of rest in order to prevent
199
00:12:02.890 --> 00:12:03.660
building up
200
00:12:03.660 --> 00:12:05.820
too much fatigue.
201
00:12:05.820 --> 00:12:07.960
He doesn't have a whole kind of workout circuit.
202
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:12.730
A lot of the stuff is more geared around, there's a good warm up and then just
203
00:12:12.730 --> 00:12:13.100
a lot
204
00:12:13.100 --> 00:12:15.500
of total body swinging.
205
00:12:15.500 --> 00:12:19.110
Your goal for creating speed, which a few of the questions that we'll get to
206
00:12:19.110 --> 00:12:19.600
here in
207
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:25.900
a bit are related to, is to make every movement a total body movement.
208
00:12:25.900 --> 00:12:33.820
He believes that you should measure club at speed each session and then, which
209
00:12:33.820 --> 00:12:34.540
so he had
210
00:12:34.540 --> 00:12:39.790
charts or kind of, he would list how much each of his students had gained in
211
00:12:39.790 --> 00:12:40.660
speed.
212
00:12:40.660 --> 00:12:47.540
And he'd say that you'll typically see some peaks and valleys to that.
213
00:12:47.540 --> 00:12:53.260
Not everyone is going to increase speed at the same rate.
214
00:12:53.260 --> 00:12:56.670
Some people are going to have faster improvements and then kind of plateau and
215
00:12:56.670 --> 00:12:57.580
then gain again.
216
00:12:57.580 --> 00:13:00.700
Some people are going to have more gradual improvements.
217
00:13:00.700 --> 00:13:04.050
Everybody's a little bit different there, but if you're measuring it, people
218
00:13:04.050 --> 00:13:04.520
can start
219
00:13:04.520 --> 00:13:09.940
to connect, did this work for me or was this a bad one?
220
00:13:09.940 --> 00:13:13.780
And then the last piece, again, I kind of threw out the hoses, but the ropes
221
00:13:13.780 --> 00:13:14.180
and the
222
00:13:14.180 --> 00:13:21.030
chains force you to kind of react to the resistance, because the resistance is
223
00:13:21.030 --> 00:13:23.420
constantly changing,
224
00:13:23.420 --> 00:13:29.450
which is very different than when you're lifting a weight or barbell, dumbbell,
225
00:13:29.450 --> 00:13:30.340
even kettlebells
226
00:13:30.340 --> 00:13:32.020
have a little bit less of that.
227
00:13:32.020 --> 00:13:38.140
Okay, so now I've got a bunch of videos and pictures from his facility.
228
00:13:38.140 --> 00:13:44.970
So some of you may recognize this pro, but this little station here, this was
229
00:13:44.970 --> 00:13:45.480
probably
230
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:51.450
the coolest thing out there, which was this little chain that gradually got
231
00:13:51.450 --> 00:13:52.360
thicker.
232
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.180
And the goal was a few warm up swings and then there's that eight seconds as
233
00:13:56.180 --> 00:13:56.520
fast as
234
00:13:56.520 --> 00:14:01.650
you can, and you'll see he gets out of it pretty quickly, because you can't go
235
00:14:01.650 --> 00:14:02.040
that
236
00:14:02.040 --> 00:14:04.560
hard for very long.
237
00:14:04.560 --> 00:14:09.330
But the chain has just kind of a regular grip and then it gets gradually
238
00:14:09.330 --> 00:14:10.040
thicker.
239
00:14:10.040 --> 00:14:17.320
I'm not sure how far it was every 10 feet, every 15 feet, but they're going to
240
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:18.680
be making
241
00:14:18.680 --> 00:14:22.960
a kind of commercial product available to this and I can't wait to get my hands
242
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:23.360
on one
243
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:25.360
of these.
244
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:28.770
As you can see through there, it's all one thickness and then right about there
245
00:14:28.770 --> 00:14:29.560
it switches.
246
00:14:29.560 --> 00:14:34.960
And there were about three or four different lengths all the way to the end.
247
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:39.730
If you're using, because what'll happen, if it's all the same, if it's all
248
00:14:39.730 --> 00:14:40.480
light chain,
249
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:45.900
as you swing it'll work in towards you, so you either have to have more weight
250
00:14:45.900 --> 00:14:46.240
at the
251
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:51.070
end, which this kind of does, or you could put it down a hill so that it can't
252
00:14:51.070 --> 00:14:52.080
climb up
253
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:53.080
at you.
254
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:56.520
Both of those were pretty useful.
255
00:14:56.520 --> 00:15:01.070
The thing that was interesting about this, I almost can't describe the feeling
256
00:15:01.070 --> 00:15:01.920
in transition.
257
00:15:01.920 --> 00:15:08.960
It felt very light in transition and then seemed to get heavier as you got
258
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.920
closer to impact.
259
00:15:11.920 --> 00:15:18.070
So because you're just really moving the lightest part through transition and
260
00:15:18.070 --> 00:15:19.160
then you really
261
00:15:19.160 --> 00:15:25.180
have to work hard, it does force you to apply the speed with the arms later,
262
00:15:25.180 --> 00:15:26.240
which there's
263
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:30.560
a few questions about, so we will absolutely cover.
264
00:15:30.560 --> 00:15:36.930
Okay, and now the rest of the videos here from his place will be me messing
265
00:15:36.930 --> 00:15:38.040
around with
266
00:15:38.040 --> 00:15:40.040
them.
267
00:15:40.040 --> 00:15:47.360
So he has a couple of different length pieces of PVC.
268
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:52.160
So this one is just an 18-inch kind of flexible PVC pipe.
269
00:15:52.160 --> 00:15:57.130
I'll show you a version I found at Home Depot, but the good one you can get at
270
00:15:57.130 --> 00:15:57.960
Amazon.
271
00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:03.740
And this is doing these two different clips, or me, doing some figure eight
272
00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:04.280
circles back
273
00:16:04.280 --> 00:16:06.160
and forth up and down.
274
00:16:06.160 --> 00:16:13.120
So basically doing some, let's say wrist forearm shoulder training.
275
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:17.400
So precision of forearm, both right-handed, both left-handed.
276
00:16:17.400 --> 00:16:21.160
You could do them after you've done them right-handed, left-handed.
277
00:16:21.160 --> 00:16:25.930
I think you could, if you were putting it in a class, you could do both hands
278
00:16:25.930 --> 00:16:26.560
as well.
279
00:16:26.560 --> 00:16:32.340
But you get a pretty good, I don't want to say cardio workout, but you do get a
280
00:16:32.340 --> 00:16:32.440
pretty
281
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:35.720
good beating doing this stuff.
282
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:38.240
I wouldn't put this in kind of the speed category.
283
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:42.060
So when Mike says you're doing speed training, that's more of the chain, more
284
00:16:42.060 --> 00:16:43.400
of the jet stick.
285
00:16:43.400 --> 00:16:46.520
This I think of as almost more coordination training.
286
00:16:46.520 --> 00:16:48.760
And it's really cool.
287
00:16:48.760 --> 00:16:52.970
There are some things that are hard to communicate, but easy to feel when you
288
00:16:52.970 --> 00:16:54.280
start using a rope.
289
00:16:54.280 --> 00:16:55.280
Okay.
290
00:16:55.280 --> 00:16:58.680
This next one was a little bit longer cord, which was kind of cool.
291
00:16:58.680 --> 00:17:03.020
But the thing I really liked, which I'll show you what I'm messing around with
292
00:17:03.020 --> 00:17:03.760
now, is I'm
293
00:17:03.760 --> 00:17:09.800
swinging an axe handle there, and I'm actually doing trail hand open.
294
00:17:09.800 --> 00:17:17.770
So because the axe handle has a flat face to it, you can really feel the right
295
00:17:17.770 --> 00:17:18.780
hand pushing
296
00:17:18.780 --> 00:17:21.440
against the club.
297
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:25.260
So I'm planning to mess around with the axe handle and just doing some club
298
00:17:25.260 --> 00:17:26.120
face awareness
299
00:17:26.120 --> 00:17:28.400
things.
300
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:37.000
Mike liked to separate skill and club face from the speed generation.
301
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:40.680
So everything he did in there was all about speed.
302
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:46.470
But I've found that if in my personal experience, I think you can get better
303
00:17:46.470 --> 00:17:47.880
transfer or carry
304
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:53.360
over if you train club face as well as sequencing.
305
00:17:53.360 --> 00:17:59.140
So I think this is one of the best tools for training that because it has the
306
00:17:59.140 --> 00:17:59.960
broad flatness
307
00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:07.320
that allows you to feel a club face rather than just the rope like this PVC.
308
00:18:07.320 --> 00:18:13.240
So now what you got here is me swinging.
309
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:25.180
This one has an 18 inch PVC and then 18 inch of a PVC connector, so it's called
310
00:18:25.180 --> 00:18:25.920
a flexible
311
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:28.500
PVC connection.
312
00:18:28.500 --> 00:18:35.010
And those two linked together create a really neat feel because it's very
313
00:18:35.010 --> 00:18:36.480
different than
314
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.520
when you're just swinging a PVC.
315
00:18:38.520 --> 00:18:43.660
I'll show you one in slow motion where you can really feel some of that shall
316
00:18:43.660 --> 00:18:44.560
owing and
317
00:18:44.560 --> 00:18:46.080
the club loading.
318
00:18:46.080 --> 00:18:55.170
So here's one in slow motion and you can see what's getting trained at the tip
319
00:18:55.170 --> 00:18:56.000
end.
320
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:04.120
So you can see some really cool exaggerations on building and maintaining lag.
321
00:19:04.120 --> 00:19:07.530
So when I mess around with this, I'm going to try to get some good video of
322
00:19:07.530 --> 00:19:08.080
students
323
00:19:08.080 --> 00:19:11.360
doing it as well.
324
00:19:11.360 --> 00:19:16.830
Because the longer the stick and the more flexible the stick, the easier it is
325
00:19:16.830 --> 00:19:17.320
to get
326
00:19:17.320 --> 00:19:18.320
that loading feel.
327
00:19:18.320 --> 00:19:20.160
And so this is called the shallow stick.
328
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:26.300
I think it's got a really good combination of longer and flexible tip to allow
329
00:19:26.300 --> 00:19:26.880
you to
330
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:29.240
feel that shallow movement.
331
00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:35.550
Let's see, I think this is just, yeah, so John Sinclair was asking me to do
332
00:19:35.550 --> 00:19:36.580
something
333
00:19:36.580 --> 00:19:47.040
specific, kind of exaggerating almost, really exaggerating that shallow move.
334
00:19:47.040 --> 00:19:52.840
Like I said, that's going to be one of my favorite ones to mess around with.
335
00:19:52.840 --> 00:19:53.840
Now it's hard.
336
00:19:53.840 --> 00:19:59.620
What you'll see is I tried to go right back into the next rep and the rope got
337
00:19:59.620 --> 00:20:00.200
all out
338
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:01.960
of position.
339
00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:05.520
It really forces you to wait for it.
340
00:20:05.520 --> 00:20:10.640
So if you have any of your students who have a tendency to really pull hard in
341
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:11.780
transition,
342
00:20:11.780 --> 00:20:14.960
then this can be a very valuable tool.
343
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:19.730
I'm going to mention this in the summary piece, but one of the things that
344
00:20:19.730 --> 00:20:20.520
perhaps I haven't
345
00:20:20.520 --> 00:20:26.300
stressed as much as I should on the site is that if you have a steepening in
346
00:20:26.300 --> 00:20:27.440
transition,
347
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:32.000
it's almost always connected to how you're powering the swing.
348
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:36.150
If you are powering the swing more from the hips and core, more rotary, the
349
00:20:36.150 --> 00:20:36.760
club will
350
00:20:36.760 --> 00:20:37.760
shallow.
351
00:20:37.760 --> 00:20:42.800
If you're powering it more from the arms and shoulders, the club will steepen.
352
00:20:42.800 --> 00:20:49.940
So almost 100% of the time when someone has a steepening problem in transition,
353
00:20:49.940 --> 00:20:50.760
they're
354
00:20:50.760 --> 00:20:54.760
going to have to work on getting some amount of shallow.
355
00:20:54.760 --> 00:20:59.530
Okay, so now I made a couple of these before I went out to see them, because I
356
00:20:59.530 --> 00:21:00.360
just wanted
357
00:21:00.360 --> 00:21:05.280
to mess around with some of my students and see what kind of reactions I was
358
00:21:05.280 --> 00:21:06.080
getting.
359
00:21:06.080 --> 00:21:12.220
And you'll see one of the common themes is a lot more of trying to use the body
360
00:21:12.220 --> 00:21:12.640
, trying
361
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:20.000
to use the upper body to essentially throw the whip, right?
362
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:24.120
And so he's essentially getting a little bit more of a pushing action.
363
00:21:24.120 --> 00:21:27.960
I'll show you one more over here.
364
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:35.640
So this you can see not quite as fluid as far as sequencing the arms.
365
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:40.410
And that's very much what happens with these two golfers in their actual golf
366
00:21:40.410 --> 00:21:41.080
swing.
367
00:21:41.080 --> 00:21:49.730
So this is doing some two-way speed with the jet stick, one of Mike's few
368
00:21:49.730 --> 00:21:51.440
programs.
369
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:55.260
And I've actually referred a few of these out and sold a bunch, and so far
370
00:21:55.260 --> 00:21:55.840
everybody
371
00:21:55.840 --> 00:21:56.840
likes it.
372
00:21:56.840 --> 00:22:02.560
I like the feeling of the jet stick a lot more than something like the orange
373
00:22:02.560 --> 00:22:02.880
whip.
374
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:09.710
And there's two main things that Mike uses for speed that makes sense to me
375
00:22:09.710 --> 00:22:10.800
anyway.
376
00:22:10.800 --> 00:22:16.590
One is over here on the left where your goal is to get the speed kind of
377
00:22:16.590 --> 00:22:17.840
throwing it out
378
00:22:17.840 --> 00:22:19.760
towards the target.
379
00:22:19.760 --> 00:22:24.040
And then the other one is, and I've used the rope and chain for both of these,
380
00:22:24.040 --> 00:22:24.520
but the
381
00:22:24.520 --> 00:22:31.320
other one is essentially trying to get the same amount of speed back and forth.
382
00:22:31.320 --> 00:22:34.480
When you're trying to get the same amount of speed back and forth, your body
383
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:34.880
pivot has
384
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:39.120
to stay very tight and you have to stay kind of grounded.
385
00:22:39.120 --> 00:22:44.280
If you start throwing your body too much in one direction, kind of sway slide
386
00:22:44.280 --> 00:22:45.200
or thrust,
387
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:49.760
you won't be able to create the speed going back in the same direction.
388
00:22:49.760 --> 00:22:55.540
So these tools from a coordination standpoint, I think, are very good at
389
00:22:55.540 --> 00:22:56.320
getting a golfer
390
00:22:56.320 --> 00:23:02.650
to feel improved sequencing without having to necessarily talk too much about
391
00:23:02.650 --> 00:23:03.960
sequencing.
392
00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:08.800
They just kind of figure some of the stuff out when they're swinging a rope
393
00:23:08.800 --> 00:23:09.480
compared
394
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:11.760
to when they're swinging a golf club.
395
00:23:11.760 --> 00:23:15.110
Now the challenge, they're not controlling a clubface and they're not
396
00:23:15.110 --> 00:23:16.640
controlling a path,
397
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:21.960
but they're working on sequencing.
398
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:28.400
Got another example here.
399
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:34.180
So this is one of the things that one of the other instructors and myself kind
400
00:23:34.180 --> 00:23:34.720
of liked
401
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:38.550
is imagine if I, and I put this in because this was before I went, it's not
402
00:23:38.550 --> 00:23:39.200
perfect,
403
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:41.000
but I've got a longer PVC.
404
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:47.150
Imagine if I had jin choking up closer to the handle there, then I could almost
405
00:23:47.150 --> 00:23:47.960
use it like
406
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:53.640
an alignment stick sticking out the butt end and learning to get that snap or
407
00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:54.160
pop of the
408
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:59.340
club more from the whip of the body and less from the hands.
409
00:23:59.340 --> 00:24:03.400
You would not be able to, basically you would hit yourself on the side if you
410
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:04.040
were getting
411
00:24:04.040 --> 00:24:06.640
all of the speed from the hands.
412
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:11.410
So I'm trying to play around with different ways that I can use this for
413
00:24:11.410 --> 00:24:12.120
training the
414
00:24:12.120 --> 00:24:16.080
release and the feelings of the release.
415
00:24:16.080 --> 00:24:20.940
Now my first version of the flexible tool was a cardboard tube because I
416
00:24:20.940 --> 00:24:21.920
thought that
417
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:26.690
would have enough, just cardboard tubes last about a week before someone squee
418
00:24:26.690 --> 00:24:27.080
zes as so
419
00:24:27.080 --> 00:24:29.520
tight they fall apart.
420
00:24:29.520 --> 00:24:33.480
So I don't necessarily recommend that.
421
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:39.510
But this is a golfer essentially trying to get it more with the body, but
422
00:24:39.510 --> 00:24:40.720
really doing
423
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:41.720
it more with the upper.
424
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:46.490
I'm going to walk you through a few little progressions, you'll see that it's
425
00:24:46.490 --> 00:24:47.040
happening
426
00:24:47.040 --> 00:24:51.990
more from that right arm, essentially what he's doing with that right arm is
427
00:24:51.990 --> 00:24:52.560
you can
428
00:24:52.560 --> 00:24:59.800
see it kind of throwing behind and then slowing down as it goes through.
429
00:24:59.800 --> 00:25:05.320
I showed him what I wanted it to look like.
430
00:25:05.320 --> 00:25:11.750
So I wanted it to have more kind of acceleration through there and less
431
00:25:11.750 --> 00:25:13.840
acceleration kind of
432
00:25:13.840 --> 00:25:14.840
through there.
433
00:25:14.840 --> 00:25:20.240
One of the reasons that Mike liked that seems to resonate with some golfers is
434
00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:21.000
you don't
435
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:27.000
want to speed up the hands with your arms while the club is traveling downward.
436
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:32.780
You want to speed up the hands later in the swing when it's going more towards
437
00:25:32.780 --> 00:25:33.800
the target.
438
00:25:33.800 --> 00:25:39.590
So then this is him again playing around and feeling more of that late
439
00:25:39.590 --> 00:25:41.080
acceleration.
440
00:25:41.080 --> 00:25:47.370
So now you can see just in a span of about 10 minutes, we found a tool that he
441
00:25:47.370 --> 00:25:48.120
can use
442
00:25:48.120 --> 00:25:53.900
to get good sequence training, but now we're going to have to adapt the way he
443
00:25:53.900 --> 00:25:54.320
controls
444
00:25:54.320 --> 00:25:58.640
the path and the way he controls the club face to match a better sequencing.
445
00:25:58.640 --> 00:26:04.570
But for this golfer whose main goal is distance, this will be an important
446
00:26:04.570 --> 00:26:06.480
piece of the puzzle.
447
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:12.440
And then this one I wanted to show you make sure that you give them enough rope
448
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:13.120
or else
449
00:26:13.120 --> 00:26:18.360
essentially they're going to get to the end of the rope too soon.
450
00:26:18.360 --> 00:26:24.120
You want there to be plenty of slack and I'll demonstrate that with the little
451
00:26:24.120 --> 00:26:24.480
home version
452
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:27.280
I've got set up here.
453
00:26:27.280 --> 00:26:31.520
I also have been messing around with doing more of a split grip like I was
454
00:26:31.520 --> 00:26:32.240
doing with
455
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:39.520
the axe so that it forces them to use their core even a little bit more.
456
00:26:39.520 --> 00:26:45.370
Okay, so the main tool, if you were just going to mess around with this, I just
457
00:26:45.370 --> 00:26:45.800
added these
458
00:26:45.800 --> 00:26:51.650
two pictures so that you can kind of see Docline has a loop at one end, which
459
00:26:51.650 --> 00:26:52.560
makes it really
460
00:26:52.560 --> 00:26:58.350
easy for attaching this type of stuff and it's a little bit more weather
461
00:26:58.350 --> 00:26:59.600
resistant.
462
00:26:59.600 --> 00:27:02.840
And then the purpose of this picture is you see those buckets.
463
00:27:02.840 --> 00:27:07.480
That's what he uses for kind of keeping clutter out of the way.
464
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:13.260
So you basically coil them in like a snake and then you know where you've got
465
00:27:13.260 --> 00:27:13.720
each length
466
00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:20.120
tool it should help with kind of organization and cleanup because my teaching
467
00:27:20.120 --> 00:27:21.040
facility already
468
00:27:21.040 --> 00:27:25.520
gets a little bit messy so that was one of my key takeaways.
469
00:27:25.520 --> 00:27:31.450
Alright, so if we're breaking it down, you basically need two different handle
470
00:27:31.450 --> 00:27:32.520
length.
471
00:27:32.520 --> 00:27:37.290
One, let's say three to four feet, I'd air more on like the forefoot,
472
00:27:37.290 --> 00:27:38.920
especially if you're
473
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:42.520
able to get the flexible connector, it works great.
474
00:27:42.520 --> 00:27:47.290
And then a short one, say a foot to 18 inches for doing more of the wrist arm
475
00:27:47.290 --> 00:27:47.840
training.
476
00:27:47.840 --> 00:27:52.700
So the longer the handle, the more that it's about the body and the legs, and
477
00:27:52.700 --> 00:27:53.320
then the
478
00:27:53.320 --> 00:27:56.400
short ones, the more that it's about the arms.
479
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:02.180
I didn't get any videos of his other tool, which is he basically has a long
480
00:28:02.180 --> 00:28:03.160
stick, I'll
481
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:07.040
show you here in two seconds.
482
00:28:07.040 --> 00:28:11.810
So he has a long stick that he basically puts in the middle of your body and it
483
00:28:11.810 --> 00:28:12.240
's really
484
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:18.040
good for getting just your hips to activate.
485
00:28:18.040 --> 00:28:22.320
The two main tools that he uses are the rope and the chain.
486
00:28:22.320 --> 00:28:25.670
I'm airing more towards the rope for safety and simplicity, but once I can get
487
00:28:25.670 --> 00:28:26.200
a hand on
488
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:29.840
that graduated chain, I'll let you know how well I like that.
489
00:28:29.840 --> 00:28:34.610
And then as far as motions, the two-way speed going back and forth is great for
490
00:28:34.610 --> 00:28:35.400
kind of
491
00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:39.810
working on balance, working on sequencing while maintaining a more centered
492
00:28:39.810 --> 00:28:40.400
pivot, and
493
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:47.230
then speed out in front is good at kind of training that kinematic sequence and
494
00:28:47.230 --> 00:28:48.200
the getting
495
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:52.840
the energy from the ground early in the hands late.
496
00:28:52.840 --> 00:28:58.920
So let me swing that back to here.
497
00:28:58.920 --> 00:29:06.820
Okay, so the one piece of equipment that I was describing, so here's the axe
498
00:29:06.820 --> 00:29:07.440
handle.
499
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:13.220
So you can see it's got a flat, flat face, and just for feeling essentially
500
00:29:13.220 --> 00:29:13.900
where that
501
00:29:13.900 --> 00:29:17.800
would be in space, this thing's really cool.
502
00:29:17.800 --> 00:29:22.570
What he had was a longer PVC pipe, so about six feet, so imagine a couple feet
503
00:29:22.570 --> 00:29:23.040
extending
504
00:29:23.040 --> 00:29:26.440
in each direction with ropes hanging out the sides.
505
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:30.780
And then you hold it in close and you'd essentially just try to create whips
506
00:29:30.780 --> 00:29:32.440
going back and forth
507
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:35.360
by turning from your lowered body.
508
00:29:35.360 --> 00:29:41.150
A couple golfers who were more upper body dominant really got a change in their
509
00:29:41.150 --> 00:29:41.600
lower
510
00:29:41.600 --> 00:29:43.200
body load pattern.
511
00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:47.970
For me personally, it was a little bit tougher because this position kind of
512
00:29:47.970 --> 00:29:48.760
exaggerates
513
00:29:48.760 --> 00:29:55.260
some of my next stuff, and I already have a lot more lower body power in my
514
00:29:55.260 --> 00:29:56.240
swing.
515
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:03.420
So the rope things, here's a, you can get this one at Home Depot, it's just a
516
00:30:03.420 --> 00:30:04.480
flexible
517
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:05.480
PVC pipe.
518
00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:10.710
So you see that it's got, it's basically for connecting a couple of pieces, but
519
00:30:10.710 --> 00:30:11.280
it has
520
00:30:11.280 --> 00:30:13.760
a little bit more of the give to it.
521
00:30:13.760 --> 00:30:19.900
The one that there's something called a flex PVC connect, those were kind of
522
00:30:19.900 --> 00:30:21.060
the keywords
523
00:30:21.060 --> 00:30:25.320
load for, I found it on Amazon, but it's even more and more flexible.
524
00:30:25.320 --> 00:30:28.230
So I'm going to play around with this one because they didn't have the one that
525
00:30:28.230 --> 00:30:28.640
I really
526
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:30.720
wanted yesterday.
527
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:37.930
And then this is just that, that docking rope and the key thing to the key
528
00:30:37.930 --> 00:30:38.880
piece of
529
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:41.920
the docking rope is at one end, it already has a loop.
530
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:49.820
So what you can either do is if you have like I have basically an old thing
531
00:30:49.820 --> 00:30:50.760
that I can,
532
00:30:50.760 --> 00:30:54.600
you know, that's heavy enough that it won't get pulled and I can just attach a
533
00:30:54.600 --> 00:30:55.000
clip to
534
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:56.000
it.
535
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:59.960
So that way I can quickly and easily take it in and out.
536
00:30:59.960 --> 00:31:06.790
Or you can, if you have like a chair or one of those, what some people talk
537
00:31:06.790 --> 00:31:07.520
about was
538
00:31:07.520 --> 00:31:12.690
either using stakes or the, the poles that you put, you know, like dog leashes
539
00:31:12.690 --> 00:31:13.400
attached
540
00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:15.840
to where you screw it into the ground.
541
00:31:15.840 --> 00:31:19.400
Those would both work really well with this thing.
542
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:24.590
So if you're messing around with the rope, you basically want to make sure that
543
00:31:24.590 --> 00:31:25.360
you've
544
00:31:25.360 --> 00:31:29.600
got enough slack so that you're not going to hit it and you basically, you don
545
00:31:29.600 --> 00:31:30.040
't want
546
00:31:30.040 --> 00:31:33.400
to do it directly in line with where this is attached.
547
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:34.960
So right now it's attached there.
548
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:38.960
If I did it directly in line will happen is when it gets to the end, it will
549
00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:39.840
come snapping
550
00:31:39.840 --> 00:31:40.840
back at me.
551
00:31:40.840 --> 00:31:46.180
So at minimum, you want like a 30 degree angle or so, but facing the attachment
552
00:31:46.180 --> 00:31:47.080
is probably
553
00:31:47.080 --> 00:31:52.210
a little bit safer and then getting that snap late through the ball, instead of
554
00:31:52.210 --> 00:31:52.880
getting
555
00:31:52.880 --> 00:32:01.770
that snap down at the ball, I'd say you don't want to, you don't want to get
556
00:32:01.770 --> 00:32:03.080
pulled by the
557
00:32:03.080 --> 00:32:04.440
rope at the end.
558
00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:10.290
So you want to make sure that you've got at least I'd say 35, 25, 35 feet at
559
00:32:10.290 --> 00:32:11.480
the minimum,
560
00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:13.680
but we were using mostly 50 foot rope.
561
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:18.450
So depending on how much space you have, I'll let you know if the one I was
562
00:32:18.450 --> 00:32:19.040
able to get
563
00:32:19.040 --> 00:32:25.420
last night is the 25 foot rope, I'll let you know how that works as far as
564
00:32:25.420 --> 00:32:26.360
space.
565
00:32:26.360 --> 00:32:32.340
I think it should be good when I could, when we were inside on like a gym floor
566
00:32:32.340 --> 00:32:33.200
, I could
567
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:36.790
see how if you only had 25 feet, it wouldn't be enough because it has a lot of
568
00:32:36.790 --> 00:32:37.240
carry, but
569
00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:42.010
I think out in my facility where I'm all be doing this mostly on grass, I think
570
00:32:42.010 --> 00:32:42.480
the added
571
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:48.230
friction from the grass will make it so that the 25 foot is a little bit better
572
00:32:48.230 --> 00:32:48.760
or works
573
00:32:48.760 --> 00:32:50.600
out fine.
574
00:32:50.600 --> 00:33:00.330
Okay, so let me get back to the PowerPoint, we're going to get into some
575
00:33:00.330 --> 00:33:02.880
questions now.
576
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:09.110
So before we get into just discussion questions, I figured the more fun stuff
577
00:33:09.110 --> 00:33:11.000
is to look at
578
00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:12.600
the swing.
579
00:33:12.600 --> 00:33:18.490
So one of our coaches sent in, new student of a month ago, he's a nine handicap
580
00:33:18.490 --> 00:33:18.880
.
581
00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:22.900
When we first started, he was hitting everything on the heel and shanking a lot
582
00:33:22.900 --> 00:33:23.740
of shots, tends
583
00:33:23.740 --> 00:33:27.170
to move towards his toes during the swing, I've been working on the butt
584
00:33:27.170 --> 00:33:27.920
fingerprint
585
00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:32.270
back 45 and some nine to three drills with him, I've also done some shank gate
586
00:33:32.270 --> 00:33:33.120
type drills
587
00:33:33.120 --> 00:33:37.480
and have used the doctor's shoals for awareness, any other suggestions.
588
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:48.040
So I'll bring it up in analyzer, actually this works pretty well.
589
00:33:48.040 --> 00:33:58.130
So there's a couple little pieces going on, so my first goal, if we're trying
590
00:33:58.130 --> 00:33:59.640
to improve
591
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:04.480
his brain's ability to sense where the heel and the toe is in space, all right?
592
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:09.250
So I've got to, I've got to first see what he's recognizing or what he's
593
00:34:09.250 --> 00:34:10.240
registering.
594
00:34:10.240 --> 00:34:14.580
So first question is almost always going to be, okay, where on the club are you
595
00:34:14.580 --> 00:34:15.240
hitting?
596
00:34:15.240 --> 00:34:20.230
If he says it's on the heel versus the toe, then we're at least in the right
597
00:34:20.230 --> 00:34:21.320
ballpark.
598
00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:24.550
But he may think he's hitting it way on the toe, he may have no clue, that's
599
00:34:24.550 --> 00:34:25.120
the first
600
00:34:25.120 --> 00:34:28.760
step is we have to understand where it is on the club.
601
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:34.580
And what I would probably do is I would, actually I'll bring this up in the
602
00:34:34.580 --> 00:34:35.680
analyzer to make
603
00:34:35.680 --> 00:34:41.440
it easier for me to draw lines.
604
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:49.340
So what I would probably do, hopefully you can see this, okay, this is the next
605
00:34:49.340 --> 00:34:50.120
one over
606
00:34:50.120 --> 00:34:51.520
here.
607
00:34:51.520 --> 00:34:58.350
So what I would do is I would get my camera out and I would do a video where I
608
00:34:58.350 --> 00:34:59.320
basically
609
00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:01.720
had the camera zoomed in there.
610
00:35:01.720 --> 00:35:08.920
So I'd be standing relatively close right on the target line, not like good
611
00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:10.240
camera, you
612
00:35:10.240 --> 00:35:13.120
know, like where you put the camera for analyzing the swing.
613
00:35:13.120 --> 00:35:16.360
So not in line with the hands, right in line with the target line.
614
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:21.420
And then what I would do is I would zoom in and slow it down here and he would
615
00:35:21.420 --> 00:35:21.920
see this
616
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:27.710
one wasn't bad, but it is potentially flirting with maybe a little bit extra
617
00:35:27.710 --> 00:35:28.400
heel.
618
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:34.180
And this is him probably feeling like it was way out, you know, like he was
619
00:35:34.180 --> 00:35:34.860
falling backward
620
00:35:34.860 --> 00:35:39.640
or, or trying to hit it more on the toe.
621
00:35:39.640 --> 00:35:44.400
Then I would do, once he, we understood that it was hitting it on the heel.
622
00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:48.730
The next thing is I would show him that there are two ways to hit it on the
623
00:35:48.730 --> 00:35:49.360
heel.
624
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:53.120
One is if the club face is coming in wide open.
625
00:35:53.120 --> 00:36:04.560
And two is if the club is just moving way out towards the target.
626
00:36:04.560 --> 00:36:13.260
So basically I would have golf ball here and I would show him, all right, there
627
00:36:13.260 --> 00:36:13.760
's two ways
628
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:15.040
to bring the hosel out.
629
00:36:15.040 --> 00:36:20.110
One would be the club face coming in wide open like this, or two is I set up
630
00:36:20.110 --> 00:36:20.760
here and
631
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:23.440
just the club is moving that way.
632
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:28.120
And I would ask him which one of those two does he think is going on?
633
00:36:28.120 --> 00:36:32.890
Because again, a big piece of this is figuring out what piece of information he
634
00:36:32.890 --> 00:36:33.520
's paying
635
00:36:33.520 --> 00:36:38.840
attention to, not just what's happening and what's the best way to fix it.
636
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:44.650
So hopefully he would say the club is moving out, in which case I would go to
637
00:36:44.650 --> 00:36:45.480
some type
638
00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:48.320
of awareness thing.
639
00:36:48.320 --> 00:36:54.320
So like the shank gate, almost always my first go to is the, put the three T's.
640
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:57.910
So I would put two T's and then one in the middle and I'd have them set up to
641
00:36:57.910 --> 00:36:58.600
the middle
642
00:36:58.600 --> 00:37:02.160
T, just like the shank gate.
643
00:37:02.160 --> 00:37:07.040
So inside T on an angle like this, outside T vertical, middle T right here and
644
00:37:07.040 --> 00:37:07.440
I'd say
645
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:11.380
try and hit the middle T and if he hit the outside T, because I'd have a pretty
646
00:37:11.380 --> 00:37:11.800
tight
647
00:37:11.800 --> 00:37:15.940
window there, he would start to recognize, wow, the club is moving further away
648
00:37:15.940 --> 00:37:16.200
from
649
00:37:16.200 --> 00:37:17.200
me.
650
00:37:17.200 --> 00:37:21.020
So then the next step is trying to get him to hit the inside T and then I would
651
00:37:21.020 --> 00:37:21.600
replace
652
00:37:21.600 --> 00:37:26.150
the middle T with a golf ball and I'd say, can you hit the golf ball with the
653
00:37:26.150 --> 00:37:26.560
toe and
654
00:37:26.560 --> 00:37:30.160
the inside T with the heel?
655
00:37:30.160 --> 00:37:33.510
If he's able to figure all that out, then it's basically questioning and
656
00:37:33.510 --> 00:37:34.120
probing and
657
00:37:34.120 --> 00:37:37.720
helping him figure out, well, how are you doing that, are you controlling it
658
00:37:37.720 --> 00:37:38.240
more by
659
00:37:38.240 --> 00:37:41.800
where your body is, more by where your arms are, more by your weight
660
00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:42.840
distribution, more
661
00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:47.720
by your tempo, how are you doing it?
662
00:37:47.720 --> 00:37:52.280
Once we've got the skill figured out, we're working on the heel toe awareness.
663
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:56.420
So once we have that skill figured out, then I talked to him about technique
664
00:37:56.420 --> 00:37:57.160
and I'd help
665
00:37:57.160 --> 00:38:02.940
him understand that we're layering in technique to improve the skill of where
666
00:38:02.940 --> 00:38:03.560
the club is
667
00:38:03.560 --> 00:38:05.440
striking the ground.
668
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:11.320
So the next piece I would do is I would give him a little less feedback.
669
00:38:11.320 --> 00:38:16.380
So what I would do with the Dr. Scholespray is not just spray the face, but
670
00:38:16.380 --> 00:38:17.320
what I would
671
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:23.100
do is I would draw, I'll do it a little bit away from the golf ball, but
672
00:38:23.100 --> 00:38:23.920
actually we'll
673
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:26.120
do it over the golf ball.
674
00:38:26.120 --> 00:38:33.450
So I would draw a box like this and then I would draw kind of lines divided
675
00:38:33.450 --> 00:38:34.760
this way.
676
00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:53.540
So I would put the golf ball in the middle of the box and I would basically,
677
00:38:53.540 --> 00:38:53.680
let's see
678
00:38:53.680 --> 00:39:02.560
if this is, tech support is letting me know that, all right, is that better?
679
00:39:02.560 --> 00:39:03.560
Hopefully.
680
00:39:03.560 --> 00:39:09.920
All right, like I said, we're working through some of these bugs.
681
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:11.240
Appreciate you guys being patient.
682
00:39:11.240 --> 00:39:17.200
So this is what I was describing, I'll redraw it, okay.
683
00:39:17.200 --> 00:39:21.240
So I've got him, let's say I've got the golf ball here.
684
00:39:21.240 --> 00:39:28.250
I would draw a box like this on the ground with the Dr. Scholespray or spray
685
00:39:28.250 --> 00:39:29.080
paint and
686
00:39:29.080 --> 00:39:34.080
I would basically put a little dividing line just like this.
687
00:39:34.080 --> 00:39:41.090
So now I would have, actually I got disoriented, I would draw it this way,
688
00:39:41.090 --> 00:39:42.920
sorry about that.
689
00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:48.830
So I would draw it this way so we could do multiple balls and then I would put
690
00:39:48.830 --> 00:39:49.400
the dividing
691
00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:51.760
lines kind of like this.
692
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:57.540
And so what I would do is I would have him set up with the golf ball in the
693
00:39:57.540 --> 00:39:58.520
middle, black's
694
00:39:58.520 --> 00:40:01.950
not going to work very well, I would set up with the golf ball in the middle of
695
00:40:01.950 --> 00:40:03.400
that box.
696
00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:06.680
And then what we would do is we would recognize where did I make contact
697
00:40:06.680 --> 00:40:08.600
compared to the ground.
698
00:40:08.600 --> 00:40:13.640
If I make contact with the divot anywhere out towards this line, then I'm in
699
00:40:13.640 --> 00:40:14.360
jeopardy
700
00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:17.080
of getting closer to a shank.
701
00:40:17.080 --> 00:40:23.330
So now the goal is to hit the inside line in the golf ball and the way we're
702
00:40:23.330 --> 00:40:24.040
going to
703
00:40:24.040 --> 00:40:28.810
do that, the two main technical things that we might go after would be the
704
00:40:28.810 --> 00:40:30.680
weight distribution.
705
00:40:30.680 --> 00:40:35.870
So you can see he gets a little bit more kind of extension towards the golf
706
00:40:35.870 --> 00:40:36.600
ball.
707
00:40:36.600 --> 00:40:40.660
And then the main one would probably be getting a feel of hitting the ball
708
00:40:40.660 --> 00:40:41.900
without that right
709
00:40:41.900 --> 00:40:46.800
arm extending out towards the golf ball quite so much.
710
00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:52.080
So that right arm has a tendency to get straight.
711
00:40:52.080 --> 00:40:56.850
And depending on his level of technical awareness, and since you guys are
712
00:40:56.850 --> 00:40:58.460
coaches, I would probably
713
00:40:58.460 --> 00:41:03.000
start to look at the path of the hands.
714
00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:08.560
So right about there is impact and you can see from there through there, that's
715
00:41:08.560 --> 00:41:10.080
not bad.
716
00:41:10.080 --> 00:41:14.920
If some golfers who shank the ball between those two frames, the handle would
717
00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:15.620
be moving
718
00:41:15.620 --> 00:41:19.220
out towards the golf ball and that would be a problem.
719
00:41:19.220 --> 00:41:23.990
For him, if we were to look from the face-on view, I imagine this right arm
720
00:41:23.990 --> 00:41:25.080
would be more
721
00:41:25.080 --> 00:41:27.680
extended behind his body.
722
00:41:27.680 --> 00:41:31.280
But the two main things I'm going after are the body shifting that way and the
723
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:31.880
right arm
724
00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:34.440
extending too soon.
725
00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:40.940
And I would use that visual feedback until he could consistently prove that he
726
00:41:40.940 --> 00:41:41.480
could
727
00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:44.800
hit the inside part of the box.
728
00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:48.500
Probably working on where the club is striking the ground.
729
00:41:48.500 --> 00:41:51.700
Okay, let me just jump back.
730
00:41:51.700 --> 00:41:53.990
I'm probably just going to stick on that, because we're going to look at the
731
00:41:53.990 --> 00:41:54.700
golfer here
732
00:41:54.700 --> 00:41:56.500
on the left.
733
00:41:56.500 --> 00:42:02.280
But let me just read, Nick is the one who sent this in, he said, "I'm seeing
734
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:02.740
this sort
735
00:42:02.740 --> 00:42:05.740
of pattern being promoted as the way to rotate."
736
00:42:05.740 --> 00:42:09.320
Here we see the instructor following the science by keeping the center mass of
737
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:10.140
the club behind
738
00:42:10.140 --> 00:42:11.340
the hands.
739
00:42:11.340 --> 00:42:15.340
And I see what I see is a golfer dropping their arms behind their body, getting
740
00:42:15.340 --> 00:42:16.200
into a seriously
741
00:42:16.200 --> 00:42:17.200
stuck position.
742
00:42:17.200 --> 00:42:19.100
There's no wipe going on.
743
00:42:19.100 --> 00:42:23.360
And I also see an underhanded swing with the right arm nearly supinating all
744
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:23.900
the way
745
00:42:23.900 --> 00:42:24.900
to impact.
746
00:42:24.900 --> 00:42:29.040
This pattern looks like it could be a shank, bring a shank into play, and I
747
00:42:29.040 --> 00:42:29.940
imagine it's
748
00:42:29.940 --> 00:42:32.540
a power rubber as well.
749
00:42:32.540 --> 00:42:33.540
Okay.
750
00:42:33.540 --> 00:42:44.030
So this is kind of the trendy exaggerated shift on top, all rotation, tons of
751
00:42:44.030 --> 00:42:45.420
ulmer.
752
00:42:45.420 --> 00:42:51.830
And I do agree the way that this is getting demonstrated creates a couple
753
00:42:51.830 --> 00:42:54.060
potential problems.
754
00:42:54.060 --> 00:43:02.760
It's very hard to get the arms that far behind your body and not run the risk
755
00:43:02.760 --> 00:43:04.140
of the hand
756
00:43:04.140 --> 00:43:09.270
path going way out unless you have a tremendous amount of rotation and possibly
757
00:43:09.270 --> 00:43:10.300
the upper body
758
00:43:10.300 --> 00:43:12.740
ahead of the lower body.
759
00:43:12.740 --> 00:43:17.900
So the place where I'd be kind of concerned would be right about here.
760
00:43:17.900 --> 00:43:24.350
If we were to see this from the face on view, this appearance to me looks like
761
00:43:24.350 --> 00:43:25.300
the upper
762
00:43:25.300 --> 00:43:30.380
body would be leaning more towards the target than the lower body.
763
00:43:30.380 --> 00:43:35.260
So the upper body would be essentially passed or his chest would be passed as
764
00:43:35.260 --> 00:43:36.460
pelvis linearly
765
00:43:36.460 --> 00:43:39.420
towards the target.
766
00:43:39.420 --> 00:43:48.280
It's gonna be really difficult not to be steep or outside from there unless you
767
00:43:48.280 --> 00:43:49.220
do essentially
768
00:43:49.220 --> 00:43:55.000
what this golfer is doing with the arms, but the problem is the body has the
769
00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:55.820
greatest influence
770
00:43:55.820 --> 00:43:58.100
on your overall path tendency.
771
00:43:58.100 --> 00:44:01.230
While you can change stuff with the arms, the overall path tendency is gonna
772
00:44:01.230 --> 00:44:01.500
come more
773
00:44:01.500 --> 00:44:02.640
from the body.
774
00:44:02.640 --> 00:44:12.250
If the body is that far forward then it's really hard not to get steep with
775
00:44:12.250 --> 00:44:14.140
your pivot.
776
00:44:14.140 --> 00:44:17.650
And when your upper body is that far forward and you're steep, the only ways
777
00:44:17.650 --> 00:44:18.360
you're gonna
778
00:44:18.360 --> 00:44:22.680
shallow it out are typically going to be scooping, flipping, or lifting the
779
00:44:22.680 --> 00:44:23.240
arms.
780
00:44:23.240 --> 00:44:29.410
So this golfer is doing a little bit more of flipping and lifting the arms
781
00:44:29.410 --> 00:44:30.440
which will
782
00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:33.920
potentially throw the hosel more into view.
783
00:44:33.920 --> 00:44:42.400
The other thing is this is very, very late as far as getting the push from the
784
00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:44.240
lower body.
785
00:44:44.240 --> 00:44:50.020
So when we were talking about power production, right around here is where that
786
00:44:50.020 --> 00:44:50.700
left leg should
787
00:44:50.700 --> 00:44:54.440
start to be going more vertical.
788
00:44:54.440 --> 00:45:00.330
That left leg creating some of the vertical action to raise that left shoulder
789
00:45:00.330 --> 00:45:01.140
and start
790
00:45:01.140 --> 00:45:05.910
going into side bend and you'll see that he's still going very rotary and he
791
00:45:05.910 --> 00:45:06.580
doesn't really
792
00:45:06.580 --> 00:45:11.780
start pushing with the legs until all the way down towards impact.
793
00:45:11.780 --> 00:45:15.680
And that's because pushing with the legs would create more of a shallowness,
794
00:45:15.680 --> 00:45:16.520
but he's already
795
00:45:16.520 --> 00:45:20.980
so shallow with his arms that he couldn't have the extra shallowness.
796
00:45:20.980 --> 00:45:24.360
He has to air on getting more steep.
797
00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:31.200
So I would be very concerned with kind of the long term ability to strike long
798
00:45:31.200 --> 00:45:31.820
irons
799
00:45:31.820 --> 00:45:37.610
with this pattern, but he might be able to get away with it with the short ir
800
00:45:37.610 --> 00:45:38.400
ons as well
801
00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:45.330
as off the tee where the low point balance of the path is not quite as critical
802
00:45:45.330 --> 00:45:45.700
.
803
00:45:45.700 --> 00:45:51.500
But yes, I don't see a ton of this coming in as an actual swing.
804
00:45:51.500 --> 00:46:00.120
This is impressive in how well they're able to actually demonstrate some of the
805
00:46:00.120 --> 00:46:00.900
trendy
806
00:46:00.900 --> 00:46:02.720
phrases that are going around.
807
00:46:02.720 --> 00:46:06.720
Like he's actually able to do some of the moves that I feel are exaggerated
808
00:46:06.720 --> 00:46:07.360
feels.
809
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:09.560
He's actually doing them in swing.
810
00:46:09.560 --> 00:46:16.400
Okay, let me jump back to the PowerPoint, but while so that you can kind of
811
00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:17.680
think through
812
00:46:17.680 --> 00:46:25.630
what we're about to look at, this is the next wing and I'll read his
813
00:46:25.630 --> 00:46:27.760
description.
814
00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:38.040
Okay, so you're getting a little snapshot of what we're going to look at.
815
00:46:38.040 --> 00:46:45.980
Okay, so description of that one.
816
00:46:45.980 --> 00:46:48.020
This is his actual swing.
817
00:46:48.020 --> 00:46:51.780
One of our coaches wanted to discuss his own move, which is fine.
818
00:46:51.780 --> 00:46:56.120
This wing is what I feel like I have to do in order to be somewhat of a good
819
00:46:56.120 --> 00:46:56.940
position.
820
00:46:56.940 --> 00:47:00.280
For me, I have to think nine to three with some speed.
821
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:05.170
If I just swing like I did prior to this program, then all sorts of issues
822
00:47:05.170 --> 00:47:05.980
emerge.
823
00:47:05.980 --> 00:47:09.040
One too much lateral shift on the downswing.
824
00:47:09.040 --> 00:47:16.130
Right arm releases club in plane, so more of a scoop, backing out of the shot
825
00:47:16.130 --> 00:47:17.600
and flipping.
826
00:47:17.600 --> 00:47:22.710
So if we're thinking through that too much lateral shift is a steepener, right
827
00:47:22.710 --> 00:47:23.880
arm releases,
828
00:47:23.880 --> 00:47:27.200
backing out of the shot, flipping are all shallowers.
829
00:47:27.200 --> 00:47:33.720
So basically what he's describing is when he does a full swing from there, the
830
00:47:33.720 --> 00:47:34.320
power
831
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:39.480
source tends to be more of an upper body lunge.
832
00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:45.000
Now this is where the rope stuff might come in handy because the upper body lun
833
00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:46.200
ge is a
834
00:47:46.200 --> 00:47:51.980
steepening movement from the body compared to say a steepening movement from
835
00:47:51.980 --> 00:47:52.760
the arms.
836
00:47:52.760 --> 00:48:01.560
We can see from here that the upper body compared to the door there is drifting
837
00:48:01.560 --> 00:48:02.560
a bit more
838
00:48:02.560 --> 00:48:05.800
forward or away from the camera.
839
00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:14.280
So that upper body drifting towards that target is helping pull the arms more
840
00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:15.280
down.
841
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:20.280
By pulling the arms more down, that's created two problems.
842
00:48:20.280 --> 00:48:25.290
One it's created the steepening path and two sequencing wise, the muscles that
843
00:48:25.290 --> 00:48:25.880
pull your
844
00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:30.560
arms down also stop your body from rotating.
845
00:48:30.560 --> 00:48:35.440
So it forces those arms to want to go a little bit earlier.
846
00:48:35.440 --> 00:48:39.410
Now the reason that he feels the benefit from the nine to three is if you start
847
00:48:39.410 --> 00:48:40.080
the swing
848
00:48:40.080 --> 00:48:46.440
from here, you're typically not going to push the club down.
849
00:48:46.440 --> 00:48:50.260
If you start the swing from here, you're typically going to pull in the
850
00:48:50.260 --> 00:48:51.480
direction the club is
851
00:48:51.480 --> 00:48:56.250
pointing so you're going to get better body contribution and more speed towards
852
00:48:56.250 --> 00:48:56.920
the target
853
00:48:56.920 --> 00:48:59.560
instead of towards the golf ball.
854
00:48:59.560 --> 00:49:06.280
So it looks like he does a decent job of controlling the club face.
855
00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:09.480
It's possible that's something he'll have to mess around with, but it looks
856
00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:10.000
like that's
857
00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:17.900
more of a sequencing and low point control issue to work through rather than
858
00:49:17.900 --> 00:49:18.760
the club
859
00:49:18.760 --> 00:49:19.760
face.
860
00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:23.950
A club face is always related, but it looks at least, I can't really see the
861
00:49:23.950 --> 00:49:24.840
club face,
862
00:49:24.840 --> 00:49:31.080
but it appears that the wrists are in a little bit more of a on-top or rotated
863
00:49:31.080 --> 00:49:32.280
position.
864
00:49:32.280 --> 00:49:38.380
So I think that the scoop can either be shallowing the club late or it can be
865
00:49:38.380 --> 00:49:39.440
closing the club
866
00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:40.440
face late.
867
00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:45.270
And it appears that he's kind of doing it more for the shallowness and the path
868
00:49:45.270 --> 00:49:45.880
because
869
00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:50.650
it looks like the club is just working to get down towards the ground as
870
00:49:50.650 --> 00:49:51.440
opposed to
871
00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:55.440
see more of a club face squaring.
872
00:49:55.440 --> 00:49:59.040
Okay, so let me jump back.
873
00:49:59.040 --> 00:50:11.440
All right, so now those were the three swings sent in.
874
00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:17.640
So now, let me jump back to the PowerPoint real quick to go over one.
875
00:50:17.640 --> 00:50:25.960
I had a question about some of the wrist stuff in my presentation and I'm going
876
00:50:25.960 --> 00:50:27.000
to go into
877
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:32.130
a little bit more in depth on that and then we'll go over just the discussion
878
00:50:32.130 --> 00:50:35.000
style questions.
879
00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:46.440
Okay, so with the wrist, I'll just do kind of the overview here.
880
00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:49.240
So when we're looking at the wrist and the forearms, for the forearms, there
881
00:50:49.240 --> 00:50:49.480
are two
882
00:50:49.480 --> 00:50:50.480
main bones.
883
00:50:50.480 --> 00:50:54.820
You've got your radius on the thumb side, which is the thicker bone here,
884
00:50:54.820 --> 00:50:55.760
thinner bone
885
00:50:55.760 --> 00:50:56.760
here.
886
00:50:56.760 --> 00:51:01.530
And then you've got the ulna on the pinky side, which is more, which is the
887
00:51:01.530 --> 00:51:02.280
thin bone
888
00:51:02.280 --> 00:51:05.720
down of the wrist and the thick bone up at the elbow.
889
00:51:05.720 --> 00:51:10.880
So they kind of have this almost like pincher look to them.
890
00:51:10.880 --> 00:51:16.670
And the wrist or the hand is actually eight bones, and that's going to be
891
00:51:16.670 --> 00:51:17.440
important when
892
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:21.160
we look at these combined movements.
893
00:51:21.160 --> 00:51:26.940
Because the natural, when you're talking simplistically, we break it up into
894
00:51:26.940 --> 00:51:27.400
flexion
895
00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:31.680
extension on a radial deviation, pronation, supination.
896
00:51:31.680 --> 00:51:36.040
But physiologically, let me jump that.
897
00:51:36.040 --> 00:51:42.560
So physiologically, the joint tends to move in more of a combined movement.
898
00:51:42.560 --> 00:51:49.400
And the reason is if you look at these eight bones of the wrist, there's four
899
00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:50.160
bones on
900
00:51:50.160 --> 00:51:52.680
the inside and four bones on the outside.
901
00:51:52.680 --> 00:52:00.680
And they kind of create a gliding kind of sub joint there.
902
00:52:00.680 --> 00:52:06.040
They act as one unit, but they behave like two different independent rows.
903
00:52:06.040 --> 00:52:10.440
So let me, I think we're getting better at being able to stop and share.
904
00:52:10.440 --> 00:52:16.540
So the two joints kind of sit on top of each other right here, kind of on top
905
00:52:16.540 --> 00:52:17.240
like this.
906
00:52:17.240 --> 00:52:22.360
And they have some sliding this way, they have some rotation this way.
907
00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:29.310
So what ends up happening is, for example, when you go to extend your wrist
908
00:52:29.310 --> 00:52:30.280
like this,
909
00:52:30.280 --> 00:52:33.800
you have two different rows, think of it as like a joint of three.
910
00:52:33.800 --> 00:52:37.320
So it's here, this is the first row, this is the second row.
911
00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:41.310
When you go into extension, more of the more of the extension is happening from
912
00:52:41.310 --> 00:52:41.920
the distal
913
00:52:41.920 --> 00:52:42.920
row.
914
00:52:42.920 --> 00:52:48.040
And when you go into flexion, more of it is happening from the proximal row.
915
00:52:48.040 --> 00:52:54.480
Now those two rows aren't 100% parallel, they're on a little bit of an oblique
916
00:52:54.480 --> 00:52:55.480
axis.
917
00:52:55.480 --> 00:53:04.160
And what we'll see when we jump back to that slide there is you'll see that on
918
00:53:04.160 --> 00:53:05.360
the thumb
919
00:53:05.360 --> 00:53:10.340
side, there's more of the bones towards the thumb side of the wrist than
920
00:53:10.340 --> 00:53:11.600
towards the pinky
921
00:53:11.600 --> 00:53:12.600
side.
922
00:53:12.600 --> 00:53:16.590
So the muscle attachments that tend to pull you into extension with a
923
00:53:16.590 --> 00:53:18.400
combination of how
924
00:53:18.400 --> 00:53:26.300
the wrist joint is a little bit higher above than it is below, that blocks the
925
00:53:26.300 --> 00:53:26.640
first row
926
00:53:26.640 --> 00:53:28.240
from going into extension.
927
00:53:28.240 --> 00:53:31.400
So most of the extension happens here, all the attachments or more of the
928
00:53:31.400 --> 00:53:31.880
attachments
929
00:53:31.880 --> 00:53:32.880
are on the thumb side.
930
00:53:32.880 --> 00:53:37.770
So when you go into extension, it pulls the thumb up towards the elbow, which
931
00:53:37.770 --> 00:53:38.280
is that
932
00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:45.400
combination of extension with radial deviation.
933
00:53:45.400 --> 00:53:49.320
And then the opposite, you can see there's a little bit more space there.
934
00:53:49.320 --> 00:53:54.200
When you pull that down, it's going to tend to move on that axis, which is
935
00:53:54.200 --> 00:53:55.120
going to pull
936
00:53:55.120 --> 00:53:58.560
it into ulnar deviation, I'll demonstrate that again.
937
00:53:58.560 --> 00:54:03.280
But here's a quick little visual of what's going on.
938
00:54:03.280 --> 00:54:08.830
These eight bones, one book I read described it as like a bunch of walnuts in a
939
00:54:08.830 --> 00:54:09.240
bag, but
940
00:54:09.240 --> 00:54:11.560
they're perfectly fitting together.
941
00:54:11.560 --> 00:54:15.960
And they act almost like little gears, creating different tensions.
942
00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:20.800
And when you go to extend the wrist, the bones shift a little bit this way.
943
00:54:20.800 --> 00:54:24.280
So this is radial deviation or a reduction.
944
00:54:24.280 --> 00:54:30.760
And then when you go to ulnar deviate or adduct, it goes more this way.
945
00:54:30.760 --> 00:54:35.320
So you can see here's kind of the sticking point and bone wise.
946
00:54:35.320 --> 00:54:38.790
When you go into radial deviation, here's the sticking point and bone wise when
947
00:54:38.790 --> 00:54:39.160
it goes
948
00:54:39.160 --> 00:54:40.920
into ulnar deviation.
949
00:54:40.920 --> 00:54:44.740
You've got more space when it goes into ulnar deviation, which is why you have
950
00:54:44.740 --> 00:54:45.280
more range
951
00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:46.520
of motion there.
952
00:54:46.520 --> 00:54:51.590
And the attachments that take it into extension or radial deviation tend to
953
00:54:51.590 --> 00:54:52.800
connect on these
954
00:54:52.800 --> 00:54:57.070
bones that are more up towards the thumb side, which helps make those two
955
00:54:57.070 --> 00:54:58.160
movements happen
956
00:54:58.160 --> 00:55:01.960
together.
957
00:55:01.960 --> 00:55:06.730
So if you're looking at the wrist, you'll stand it up here, instead of thinking
958
00:55:06.730 --> 00:55:07.040
that
959
00:55:07.040 --> 00:55:11.960
it does this, this, this, this, it really does that, that.
960
00:55:11.960 --> 00:55:16.120
So the natural line of action is more of an oblique movement.
961
00:55:16.120 --> 00:55:21.090
It's not really like you can do these movements, but the natural physiology, if
962
00:55:21.090 --> 00:55:22.680
you were to
963
00:55:22.680 --> 00:55:27.450
maximize how your muscles and the joints move together, it would be this way
964
00:55:27.450 --> 00:55:27.840
and it would
965
00:55:27.840 --> 00:55:30.480
be that way, those two going hand in hand.
966
00:55:30.480 --> 00:55:35.440
So in general, that right wrist is going to get into this loaded position.
967
00:55:35.440 --> 00:55:40.210
And then it starts to come through impact, but it's not fully there, it impacts
968
00:55:40.210 --> 00:55:40.480
.
969
00:55:40.480 --> 00:55:46.540
In fact, it approximates the, it's, it's close to one of the positions that has
970
00:55:46.540 --> 00:55:48.520
the greatest
971
00:55:48.520 --> 00:55:54.300
freedom of movement, which is when you have about 15 degrees of ulnar deviation
972
00:55:54.300 --> 00:55:54.640
and a
973
00:55:54.640 --> 00:55:56.920
fair amount of extension.
974
00:55:56.920 --> 00:56:02.160
This is where kind of we write, we eat like in this position is where we have
975
00:56:02.160 --> 00:56:02.800
some of the
976
00:56:02.800 --> 00:56:08.580
highest precision that's pretty close to that right arm flying wedge type field
977
00:56:08.580 --> 00:56:09.480
training.
978
00:56:09.480 --> 00:56:12.920
The left arm works more this way.
979
00:56:12.920 --> 00:56:16.480
So it's the combination of ulnar deviation and flexion.
980
00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:19.200
And then the weight of the club pulls it more towards the extension.
981
00:56:19.200 --> 00:56:25.040
But the movements it's doing is more of that, um, unhinged and flexing.
982
00:56:25.040 --> 00:56:29.040
All right, it's been a little while.
983
00:56:29.040 --> 00:56:35.880
So let me just check and see what kind of questions we've been having in other
984
00:56:35.880 --> 00:56:36.280
than
985
00:56:36.280 --> 00:56:37.280
holy cow.
986
00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:42.880
Look at all these technical issues, black screen and stuff like that.
987
00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:50.930
Um, perfect, could you apply, uh, could that apply to the club as well,
988
00:56:50.930 --> 00:56:52.600
flexible shafts
989
00:56:52.600 --> 00:56:58.080
makes it easier to shallow, uh, you know, I haven't played around with that.
990
00:56:58.080 --> 00:57:06.800
Um, that might be something I'm thinking through, um, you might be a little bit
991
00:57:06.800 --> 00:57:07.840
more limited
992
00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:13.120
in terms of how well that would work actually hitting a golf ball.
993
00:57:13.120 --> 00:57:19.960
So I do believe that getting, um, too many or sorry, the more flexible shaft
994
00:57:19.960 --> 00:57:20.940
would allow
995
00:57:20.940 --> 00:57:26.720
it to shallow, shallow opens up the face and the more bending of the shaft, the
996
00:57:26.720 --> 00:57:27.080
harder
997
00:57:27.080 --> 00:57:29.000
it is to motorcycle.
998
00:57:29.000 --> 00:57:36.080
Um, so there is a, I think you'd get to a, um, kind of cost benefit analysis
999
00:57:36.080 --> 00:57:36.800
where two
1000
00:57:36.800 --> 00:57:40.600
flexible shaft might make it easier to shallow, but harder to square the face.
1001
00:57:40.600 --> 00:57:44.200
Um, but that's something worth maybe messing around with.
1002
00:57:44.200 --> 00:57:52.140
Um, I know that, uh, TBT is able to do more flexible shafts and better control
1003
00:57:52.140 --> 00:57:52.840
of the
1004
00:57:52.840 --> 00:57:58.630
torque, um, and most of the people gutting fit through TBT tend to do better
1005
00:57:58.630 --> 00:57:59.400
with a more
1006
00:57:59.400 --> 00:58:00.400
flexible shaft.
1007
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:05.720
That could be potentially why, um, yes.
1008
00:58:05.720 --> 00:58:06.720
All right.
1009
00:58:06.720 --> 00:58:07.720
Perfect.
1010
00:58:07.720 --> 00:58:12.280
So now let me jump back because that would look like the only question.
1011
00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:16.120
So let me jump back to the questions that came in beforehand.
1012
00:58:16.120 --> 00:58:20.130
Now my goal with these, uh, kind of coaches calls is, uh, I had a bunch of the
1013
00:58:20.130 --> 00:58:20.840
questions
1014
00:58:20.840 --> 00:58:23.520
come in and kind of in the last 24 hours.
1015
00:58:23.520 --> 00:58:27.790
Um, if, if I do a better job of asking for the questions early and if we get
1016
00:58:27.790 --> 00:58:28.480
them early
1017
00:58:28.480 --> 00:58:32.530
enough, I'll be able to, you know, pull up examples or pictures to help make it
1018
00:58:32.530 --> 00:58:33.000
easier
1019
00:58:33.000 --> 00:58:38.200
instead of me just kind of walking through and demonstrating, but, um, I'll do
1020
00:58:38.200 --> 00:58:38.800
my, my
1021
00:58:38.800 --> 00:58:39.800
best.
1022
00:58:39.800 --> 00:58:43.630
And if you find that something I discuss, you want to go in a little bit more
1023
00:58:43.630 --> 00:58:44.080
depth,
1024
00:58:44.080 --> 00:58:48.380
like a little PowerPoint or something, um, you can let me know afterwards as
1025
00:58:48.380 --> 00:58:48.880
well as
1026
00:58:48.880 --> 00:58:50.880
part of the feedback for this.
1027
00:58:50.880 --> 00:58:51.880
Okay.
1028
00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:56.650
Uh, so had a couple of questions from Robbie, um, as far as junior golf
1029
00:58:56.650 --> 00:58:58.160
development goes,
1030
00:58:58.160 --> 00:59:02.920
when would you attack someone who has excessive jump side bend pattern?
1031
00:59:02.920 --> 00:59:07.470
Um, basically, okay, so they get all their power from their legs and, and, you
1032
00:59:07.470 --> 00:59:07.840
know,
1033
00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:12.080
this would have been a great one to see exactly where it's coming from.
1034
00:59:12.080 --> 00:59:18.240
Um, but when would you address too much of the vertical jump?
1035
00:59:18.240 --> 00:59:24.360
So even, even with kids, I like to layer, like, okay, there's three skills to
1036
00:59:24.360 --> 00:59:25.060
playing
1037
00:59:25.060 --> 00:59:26.060
golf.
1038
00:59:26.060 --> 00:59:29.160
You got to control the path, which is low point and swing direction.
1039
00:59:29.160 --> 00:59:33.000
You got to control the face to path, um, which is how much it's going to curve
1040
00:59:33.000 --> 00:59:33.460
and where
1041
00:59:33.460 --> 00:59:34.560
it's going to start.
1042
00:59:34.560 --> 00:59:40.000
And then you've got to control the sequencing or how you create power.
1043
00:59:40.000 --> 00:59:44.250
What I would imagine is if they have too much jump side bend, then they're
1044
00:59:44.250 --> 00:59:45.000
probably going
1045
00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:48.360
to have trouble with either the face to path or the path.
1046
00:59:48.360 --> 00:59:53.130
And so I would use making them struggle with one of the other skills as the
1047
00:59:53.130 --> 00:59:53.920
gateway to opening
1048
00:59:53.920 --> 00:59:57.200
them up to working on, uh, technique.
1049
00:59:57.200 --> 01:00:03.420
Um, but if they're having, so I wouldn't necessarily just change a jump side
1050
01:00:03.420 --> 01:00:04.800
bend pattern just
1051
01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:09.040
for the sake of changing it, I would change it because they're having trouble.
1052
01:00:09.040 --> 01:00:12.530
The club face is closing too fast because of the way they're pulling away, um,
1053
01:00:12.530 --> 01:00:13.120
or they're
1054
01:00:13.120 --> 01:00:16.600
having a, having trouble getting low point far enough forward.
1055
01:00:16.600 --> 01:00:20.810
Those will be the two main things that I would worry about with having too much
1056
01:00:20.810 --> 01:00:21.960
of a jump
1057
01:00:21.960 --> 01:00:23.440
side bend pattern.
1058
01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:30.300
Um, but I would say that that's going to be a lot easier when you, uh, when you
1059
01:00:30.300 --> 01:00:31.200
get into
1060
01:00:31.200 --> 01:00:37.090
let's say, you know, more in the 15 years old, 14, 15 year old range, um, than
1061
01:00:37.090 --> 01:00:37.880
if they're
1062
01:00:37.880 --> 01:00:44.900
really jumping a lot as a 10 to 12 year old, um, just cause as the core, as
1063
01:00:44.900 --> 01:00:46.360
they go through
1064
01:00:46.360 --> 01:00:50.140
their growth, typically the legs get stronger than the core and it's not until
1065
01:00:50.140 --> 01:00:50.560
a little
1066
01:00:50.560 --> 01:00:53.000
bit later that the core catches up.
1067
01:00:53.000 --> 01:00:59.790
But things like the, the rope and doing, uh, core activity, um, you know, like
1068
01:00:59.790 --> 01:01:00.320
I, I would
1069
01:01:00.320 --> 01:01:05.170
definitely get them doing some medicine ball stuff, more, maybe some upper body
1070
01:01:05.170 --> 01:01:06.040
core rotation
1071
01:01:06.040 --> 01:01:11.430
stuff, um, earlier on, uh, to see if it's more of a pattern or if it's more of
1072
01:01:11.430 --> 01:01:12.400
a, you
1073
01:01:12.400 --> 01:01:17.180
know, just ingrained imbalance, um, because it's very easy for kids to get too
1074
01:01:17.180 --> 01:01:17.880
lower body
1075
01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:20.320
dominant as far as power goes.
1076
01:01:20.320 --> 01:01:25.340
Uh, his second question, um, the trail hands thing on the ground in follow
1077
01:01:25.340 --> 01:01:26.240
through.
1078
01:01:26.240 --> 01:01:30.680
How does that affect, um, first of all, do you like training that?
1079
01:01:30.680 --> 01:01:33.920
How would that likely affect the path face?
1080
01:01:33.920 --> 01:01:40.760
Um, so my main issue with trying to keep that trail foot on the ground, it, it
1081
01:01:40.760 --> 01:01:41.320
helps the
1082
01:01:41.320 --> 01:01:45.440
foot learn how to kind of bank and push against the ground properly.
1083
01:01:45.440 --> 01:01:53.270
Um, but it is very hard for most golfers to get to a full finish, um, unless
1084
01:01:53.270 --> 01:01:53.920
they have
1085
01:01:53.920 --> 01:01:58.800
a very high amount of external rotation of the trail hip.
1086
01:01:58.800 --> 01:02:07.890
So if I'm, if that foot stays planted on the ground, then basically doing this
1087
01:02:07.890 --> 01:02:08.980
with the
1088
01:02:08.980 --> 01:02:13.560
trail hip is the only way I can get my belt buckle to face towards the target.
1089
01:02:13.560 --> 01:02:18.490
So now I'm, I'm on the very inside of my foot and that's about as far as I can
1090
01:02:18.490 --> 01:02:19.040
get with
1091
01:02:19.040 --> 01:02:20.040
the hip.
1092
01:02:20.040 --> 01:02:24.880
The only way I'm going to get to a full finish is if my foot comes up a little
1093
01:02:24.880 --> 01:02:25.480
bit.
1094
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:30.280
So you do have to be careful with golfers who have tight external hip rotation,
1095
01:02:30.280 --> 01:02:31.480
uh, for,
1096
01:02:31.480 --> 01:02:36.250
for certain if you give them that drill, um, typically what will happen is
1097
01:02:36.250 --> 01:02:37.080
because the
1098
01:02:37.080 --> 01:02:41.850
hip will get stuck, they'll start to extend a little bit, which will cause the,
1099
01:02:41.850 --> 01:02:42.240
them to
1100
01:02:42.240 --> 01:02:45.640
close the club face and typically swing the path a little bit to the left.
1101
01:02:45.640 --> 01:02:50.650
Um, so if it's a trail hip restriction, they'll probably err on getting more of
1102
01:02:50.650 --> 01:02:51.400
like a pull
1103
01:02:51.400 --> 01:02:57.180
hook, um, probably hitting some, some steeper fat shots as well, um, because
1104
01:02:57.180 --> 01:02:58.200
the upper body
1105
01:02:58.200 --> 01:03:07.120
may shift forward to take some of the pressure off of the, off of the, um, hip.
1106
01:03:07.120 --> 01:03:08.120
All right.
1107
01:03:08.120 --> 01:03:11.600
I've got a couple of questions coming in.
1108
01:03:11.600 --> 01:03:15.840
Also hard to see from behind, but there does not appear to be right lateral.
1109
01:03:15.840 --> 01:03:18.600
Oh, that was back with the, uh, Jim Fert person.
1110
01:03:18.600 --> 01:03:19.600
Yes.
1111
01:03:19.600 --> 01:03:20.600
I completely agree.
1112
01:03:20.600 --> 01:03:25.960
Um, question as far as, could you attach a rope to the end of the orange whip?
1113
01:03:25.960 --> 01:03:26.960
That's interesting.
1114
01:03:26.960 --> 01:03:32.520
I haven't, um, I've got some, some old rope that I might play around with.
1115
01:03:32.520 --> 01:03:38.650
I'm not sure what, uh, yeah, I think, I think that could potentially work like
1116
01:03:38.650 --> 01:03:39.640
even better
1117
01:03:39.640 --> 01:03:41.160
than the shallow stick.
1118
01:03:41.160 --> 01:03:44.480
Um, yeah, I'll have to, I'll have to mess around with that.
1119
01:03:44.480 --> 01:03:46.520
Good, good idea there, Chris.
1120
01:03:46.520 --> 01:03:50.160
Um, all right, back to some of these questions.
1121
01:03:50.160 --> 01:03:57.480
Uh, Tim was asking about speed for, for ages three to four, four, five to six.
1122
01:03:57.480 --> 01:04:02.380
Um, basically there's a, you know, he's seen some of the, uh, pressure board,
1123
01:04:02.380 --> 01:04:03.200
seen, seen
1124
01:04:03.200 --> 01:04:08.250
the Mike ropes, uh, kids love the ropes, um, and so do some of my, uh, older
1125
01:04:08.250 --> 01:04:09.240
golfers.
1126
01:04:09.240 --> 01:04:14.360
So you saw I had some of the older and female, you know, older females using
1127
01:04:14.360 --> 01:04:15.560
the rope stuff.
1128
01:04:15.560 --> 01:04:17.160
They think that's a lot of fun.
1129
01:04:17.160 --> 01:04:25.660
Um, so the, the kids, um, have liked it as well, especially if I do stuff with
1130
01:04:25.660 --> 01:04:26.560
them and
1131
01:04:26.560 --> 01:04:30.160
give them little targets to try to snap the rope at.
1132
01:04:30.160 --> 01:04:33.180
Um, everybody likes to hit stuff with the rope.
1133
01:04:33.180 --> 01:04:38.160
And I think it's really good for, for developing that, that late sequencing.
1134
01:04:38.160 --> 01:04:43.600
Um, I also love for kids doing, um, sprinting and jumping.
1135
01:04:43.600 --> 01:04:51.500
Um, and the, the jet stick, the speed chain, um, works pretty well for them as
1136
01:04:51.500 --> 01:04:52.000
well.
1137
01:04:52.000 --> 01:04:58.040
Uh, I don't differentiate a huge, for me, three to four and five to six kind of
1138
01:04:58.040 --> 01:04:58.360
fit in
1139
01:04:58.360 --> 01:04:59.360
the same category.
1140
01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:04.220
Um, but I don't, I don't do a ton of juniors under the age of about, I'd say,
1141
01:05:04.220 --> 01:05:05.760
13, 14.
1142
01:05:05.760 --> 01:05:11.540
Um, but when I do in my mind, I'm kind of breaking it up with, uh, like, I've
1143
01:05:11.540 --> 01:05:12.360
got, um,
1144
01:05:12.360 --> 01:05:17.130
two kids who were like seven, eight years old, um, they're a lot more, you know
1145
01:05:17.130 --> 01:05:17.560
, keep
1146
01:05:17.560 --> 01:05:23.160
everything simple, um, and air more on kind of the big gross patterns.
1147
01:05:23.160 --> 01:05:26.690
Once you get to about that 12 year old range, I think you can start getting
1148
01:05:26.690 --> 01:05:27.400
into a little
1149
01:05:27.400 --> 01:05:34.320
bit more of the fine tuning details, uh, question on 4D motion.
1150
01:05:34.320 --> 01:05:36.240
How should I use it with my students?
1151
01:05:36.240 --> 01:05:43.070
Um, I, the, the best thing I, I like 4D motion for, um, and to be, to be fair,
1152
01:05:43.070 --> 01:05:44.160
I've just kind
1153
01:05:44.160 --> 01:05:46.440
of got mine up and messing around with it.
1154
01:05:46.440 --> 01:05:51.290
Um, but the, the simplest thing is where you put it in just the live biofeed
1155
01:05:51.290 --> 01:05:52.200
back mode,
1156
01:05:52.200 --> 01:05:59.060
um, and use one or two sensors, just to train a specific, like small movement
1157
01:05:59.060 --> 01:05:59.960
in space,
1158
01:05:59.960 --> 01:06:04.190
do 10 to 15 reps or so, um, and then take it off and try to duplicate with a
1159
01:06:04.190 --> 01:06:04.760
club.
1160
01:06:04.760 --> 01:06:08.760
So have them do it with the feedback, get video of what it looks like, usually
1161
01:06:08.760 --> 01:06:09.080
just
1162
01:06:09.080 --> 01:06:15.920
on my phone, and then try to duplicate it with the club, um, and kind of go off
1163
01:06:15.920 --> 01:06:16.280
the
1164
01:06:16.280 --> 01:06:17.280
comparison there.
1165
01:06:17.280 --> 01:06:21.100
So not just using biofeedback, but biofeedback as well as visual, I think can
1166
01:06:21.100 --> 01:06:22.040
be very helpful.
1167
01:06:22.040 --> 01:06:30.080
Um, I like it a lot for, um, tilt, um, it's okay for the, for the wrist.
1168
01:06:30.080 --> 01:06:32.520
I've got to play around with it a little bit more there.
1169
01:06:32.520 --> 01:06:36.720
Um, I'll keep you, I'll keep you posted as I play around with the 4D motion
1170
01:06:36.720 --> 01:06:37.280
more.
1171
01:06:37.280 --> 01:06:42.050
Um, that might be one of the things that I can do in an upcoming webinar would
1172
01:06:42.050 --> 01:06:42.680
be more
1173
01:06:42.680 --> 01:06:49.620
like, uh, whether it's 4D or KVEST or, or it's, um, hack motion or some of
1174
01:06:49.620 --> 01:06:50.640
those simpler
1175
01:06:50.640 --> 01:06:53.360
3D systems, what do you have to watch out for?
1176
01:06:53.360 --> 01:06:57.320
Um, the one thing, since I brought that up, the one thing I'd be here, uh, I
1177
01:06:57.320 --> 01:06:58.000
got to mess
1178
01:06:58.000 --> 01:07:02.850
around with a hack motion, and, uh, one of the things we found was if you took
1179
01:07:02.850 --> 01:07:03.800
the clip
1180
01:07:03.800 --> 01:07:09.560
and you attached it to the glove, like they recommend, um, we had, I think 13
1181
01:07:09.560 --> 01:07:10.320
or 14 degrees
1182
01:07:10.320 --> 01:07:11.760
of extension.
1183
01:07:11.760 --> 01:07:16.720
Just because I had my 3D system there, we took off the, the clip and taped it
1184
01:07:16.720 --> 01:07:17.200
to the
1185
01:07:17.200 --> 01:07:18.440
back of the hand.
1186
01:07:18.440 --> 01:07:23.210
The same swinger, so the same person swinging the club had one degree of
1187
01:07:23.210 --> 01:07:24.000
extension.
1188
01:07:24.000 --> 01:07:29.440
So there's a potential that the weight, like the, the club getting pulled off
1189
01:07:29.440 --> 01:07:30.120
of the, the
1190
01:07:30.120 --> 01:07:34.890
glove, because it's just not quite as tight as being taped to the skin, is over
1191
01:07:34.890 --> 01:07:35.360
reading
1192
01:07:35.360 --> 01:07:38.320
some of the extension down at impact.
1193
01:07:38.320 --> 01:07:40.720
So just got to be careful with that.
1194
01:07:40.720 --> 01:07:46.600
It could also be, um, over reading some of the owner deviation.
1195
01:07:46.600 --> 01:07:53.610
Is there any question came in, um, is there any downside to training
1196
01:07:53.610 --> 01:07:56.200
exaggerated hand separation
1197
01:07:56.200 --> 01:07:58.440
using the axe handle?
1198
01:07:58.440 --> 01:08:01.000
Um, I don't think so.
1199
01:08:01.000 --> 01:08:07.880
I, I, I use like a split grip drill for a lot of anti flip style stuff, um, and
1200
01:08:07.880 --> 01:08:08.440
I haven't
1201
01:08:08.440 --> 01:08:13.210
had, you know, with, with proper dosing, I, I don't think it can cause any real
1202
01:08:13.210 --> 01:08:13.960
problems.
1203
01:08:13.960 --> 01:08:16.560
Did you send a copy of the PowerPoint to us?
1204
01:08:16.560 --> 01:08:17.560
Uh, sure.
1205
01:08:17.560 --> 01:08:24.540
Um, you're going to have access the, um, you're going to have this video to be
1206
01:08:24.540 --> 01:08:25.880
able to watch
1207
01:08:25.880 --> 01:08:30.650
again because the, you know, if I send the, the PDF of the PowerPoint, the
1208
01:08:30.650 --> 01:08:31.280
videos won't
1209
01:08:31.280 --> 01:08:32.280
play.
1210
01:08:32.280 --> 01:08:36.100
Um, and most of the PowerPoint was videos, but let me know if there's something
1211
01:08:36.100 --> 01:08:36.680
specific
1212
01:08:36.680 --> 01:08:41.000
in there that you want to see and perhaps I can do that.
1213
01:08:41.000 --> 01:08:45.680
Uh, Chris was asking, what produces the most speed with the arms?
1214
01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:48.600
Is it supination, extension of the arms, releasing radial?
1215
01:08:48.600 --> 01:08:53.740
Um, and there's a, there are a couple of questions that kind of came in as far
1216
01:08:53.740 --> 01:08:56.400
as, um,
1217
01:08:56.400 --> 01:09:00.280
where was the other question?
1218
01:09:00.280 --> 01:09:05.830
So as far as like, if you look at Dr. Juan, Sasha McKenzie stuff, they talk
1219
01:09:05.830 --> 01:09:06.240
about creating
1220
01:09:06.240 --> 01:09:08.960
all that maximum force early.
1221
01:09:08.960 --> 01:09:14.780
And then if you, you know, look at, or you listen to, you know, Joe Mayo, Jeff
1222
01:09:14.780 --> 01:09:15.600
Smith,
1223
01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:19.240
or Mike Romontowski, it's speed late going through.
1224
01:09:19.240 --> 01:09:21.400
Um, how does that all work?
1225
01:09:21.400 --> 01:09:28.520
Um, so the, the force is created early primarily from the body movement.
1226
01:09:28.520 --> 01:09:33.290
If you get too active with the arms early, it will limit how much you can
1227
01:09:33.290 --> 01:09:34.520
typically, uh,
1228
01:09:34.520 --> 01:09:38.640
get the vertical force in that left foot, which is usually what, um, the, the
1229
01:09:38.640 --> 01:09:38.940
ground
1230
01:09:38.940 --> 01:09:45.780
force guys are looking at, um, and the maximum linear speed, which is just a,
1231
01:09:45.780 --> 01:09:46.600
which will
1232
01:09:46.600 --> 01:09:55.440
be after when you created the maximum force is somewhere up around here.
1233
01:09:55.440 --> 01:09:59.630
The right around there is when the handle is moving its fastest, whoops, in a
1234
01:09:59.630 --> 01:10:00.120
linear
1235
01:10:00.120 --> 01:10:05.900
fashion, and then from there, the real magic is taking all that linear speed
1236
01:10:05.900 --> 01:10:06.800
and converting
1237
01:10:06.800 --> 01:10:09.280
it into angular speed.
1238
01:10:09.280 --> 01:10:14.170
And that's the, the interesting thing why I went that way with this question is
1239
01:10:14.170 --> 01:10:14.840
amateurs
1240
01:10:14.840 --> 01:10:21.680
and pros don't have that great of a difference between their linear speed of
1241
01:10:21.680 --> 01:10:22.680
the handle,
1242
01:10:22.680 --> 01:10:26.400
but they have a tremendous difference between the angular speed.
1243
01:10:26.400 --> 01:10:31.390
So basically better golfers are able to take the speed that they create and
1244
01:10:31.390 --> 01:10:32.280
transfer it
1245
01:10:32.280 --> 01:10:38.060
into rotational speed, and that primarily comes from more of the supination, um
1246
01:10:38.060 --> 01:10:38.600
, with
1247
01:10:38.600 --> 01:10:43.370
a little bit of the releasing the radial, um, flexion extension doesn't have a
1248
01:10:43.370 --> 01:10:43.760
whole
1249
01:10:43.760 --> 01:10:44.760
lot.
1250
01:10:44.760 --> 01:10:50.900
Um, the, the trail arm extension, uh, has some that is probably about a half to
1251
01:10:50.900 --> 01:10:51.560
a third
1252
01:10:51.560 --> 01:10:56.330
of that of the supination, the supination speeds, um, are typically going to be
1253
01:10:56.330 --> 01:10:56.640
quite
1254
01:10:56.640 --> 01:10:57.640
high.
1255
01:10:57.640 --> 01:11:03.320
Um, so if I had to pick one, one arm movement that was producing the most speed
1256
01:11:03.320 --> 01:11:03.440
, it would
1257
01:11:03.440 --> 01:11:05.440
probably be that.
1258
01:11:05.440 --> 01:11:11.960
Um, is there any downside to training exaggerated handset right now?
1259
01:11:11.960 --> 01:11:14.720
Oh, no, I already answered that one.
1260
01:11:14.720 --> 01:11:21.480
All right, let me go through got a few other emails.
1261
01:11:21.480 --> 01:11:25.680
Um, all right, so we talked a little bit.
1262
01:11:25.680 --> 01:11:31.760
So if the arms are soft in transition, the body is typically creating more of
1263
01:11:31.760 --> 01:11:33.160
the speed.
1264
01:11:33.160 --> 01:11:37.930
So that's why these two things aren't necessarily like mutually exclusive,
1265
01:11:37.930 --> 01:11:38.800
creating a lot of
1266
01:11:38.800 --> 01:11:43.570
force early typically feels slower with the arms and the hands and then
1267
01:11:43.570 --> 01:11:44.760
transferring all
1268
01:11:44.760 --> 01:11:47.080
that speed late typically feels very faster.
1269
01:11:47.080 --> 01:11:51.850
So a lot of golfers will produce better kinematics sequence force patterns by
1270
01:11:51.850 --> 01:11:52.440
feeling like they're
1271
01:11:52.440 --> 01:11:57.520
speeding up late, not by doing exactly what the science says and going early,
1272
01:11:57.520 --> 01:11:59.440
um, linear
1273
01:11:59.440 --> 01:12:01.320
versus nonlinear foot traces.
1274
01:12:01.320 --> 01:12:05.480
So you can have the foot trace going towards the target or going into the toe
1275
01:12:05.480 --> 01:12:06.020
and then
1276
01:12:06.020 --> 01:12:09.620
into the heel, typically going into the toe and then into the heel would be a
1277
01:12:09.620 --> 01:12:10.080
little
1278
01:12:10.080 --> 01:12:14.420
bit more powerful, um, because it's going into the toe where that foot is
1279
01:12:14.420 --> 01:12:15.340
pushing against
1280
01:12:15.340 --> 01:12:19.500
the ground in the direction of the target line to help create the rotation.
1281
01:12:19.500 --> 01:12:23.660
If it's just going towards the target, you'll, you'll almost be like trying to
1282
01:12:23.660 --> 01:12:25.060
spin on ice
1283
01:12:25.060 --> 01:12:29.460
instead of really kind of gripping and pushing against the ground.
1284
01:12:29.460 --> 01:12:34.450
Um, there might be something as far as more consistency with the linear, but,
1285
01:12:34.450 --> 01:12:35.100
uh, I don't
1286
01:12:35.100 --> 01:12:41.460
know that that's necessarily worth it, um, center pressure to front foot at P
1287
01:12:41.460 --> 01:12:42.220
five.
1288
01:12:42.220 --> 01:12:48.000
Uh, recent GG video with Ruiz showed COP go backward in transition to shallow
1289
01:12:48.000 --> 01:12:49.260
the club,
1290
01:12:49.260 --> 01:12:52.660
um, never gets more than 60 43 impact.
1291
01:12:52.660 --> 01:13:00.540
So, uh, the, whenever you're looking at the foot stuff, um, I definitely would
1292
01:13:00.540 --> 01:13:01.020
look at
1293
01:13:01.020 --> 01:13:05.900
the, um, like the sample size and the reliability of the system.
1294
01:13:05.900 --> 01:13:09.930
I know that, um, body tracks can have a fair amount of availability, a
1295
01:13:09.930 --> 01:13:11.020
variability just
1296
01:13:11.020 --> 01:13:12.020
system to system.
1297
01:13:12.020 --> 01:13:15.650
Um, doesn't mean that they're, they're not bad, but if you're going off of
1298
01:13:15.650 --> 01:13:16.380
something
1299
01:13:16.380 --> 01:13:21.420
where you like, where you see 60 40, um, just know that there's probably some w
1300
01:13:21.420 --> 01:13:22.100
iggle room
1301
01:13:22.100 --> 01:13:23.100
with that.
1302
01:13:23.100 --> 01:13:28.240
Uh, Sashos got the, the AMTI plates with it, which is a lot more, and he has
1303
01:13:28.240 --> 01:13:29.020
two, one
1304
01:13:29.020 --> 01:13:38.420
for each foot, um, the, his, his research is probably the best at, um, so he
1305
01:13:38.420 --> 01:13:39.660
showed that
1306
01:13:39.660 --> 01:13:45.440
the greater the pressure in the lead foot at arm parallel, so the earlier you
1307
01:13:45.440 --> 01:13:45.780
get it
1308
01:13:45.780 --> 01:13:49.460
there, typically the more that you're going to be able to produce club S speed.
1309
01:13:49.460 --> 01:13:54.310
Um, and so the earlier you get it there and the greater you can get it there,
1310
01:13:54.310 --> 01:13:54.900
the more
1311
01:13:54.900 --> 01:13:58.820
you're going to produce, um, club head speed.
1312
01:13:58.820 --> 01:14:03.860
I, the, the problem, one of the other problems with pressure is if you're not
1313
01:14:03.860 --> 01:14:04.500
looking at
1314
01:14:04.500 --> 01:14:08.400
the total force, like this person may be pushing really hard with the left and
1315
01:14:08.400 --> 01:14:08.980
really hard
1316
01:14:08.980 --> 01:14:14.500
with the right, as opposed to, um, pushing less with the left.
1317
01:14:14.500 --> 01:14:19.270
So let's say you're pushing 200 Newton meters with the left and then the right
1318
01:14:19.270 --> 01:14:19.700
goes from
1319
01:14:19.700 --> 01:14:22.300
pushing, you know, 40 to 80.
1320
01:14:22.300 --> 01:14:25.820
Well, now the pressure is shifted more towards the right, even though the left
1321
01:14:25.820 --> 01:14:26.420
was pushing
1322
01:14:26.420 --> 01:14:29.020
the same intensity the whole time.
1323
01:14:29.020 --> 01:14:36.920
Um, so pressure is probably not quite as useful as force, but pressure is much
1324
01:14:36.920 --> 01:14:37.300
more
1325
01:14:37.300 --> 01:14:42.020
readily available, um, because it's a lot cheaper to measure.
1326
01:14:42.020 --> 01:14:49.920
Um, alright, a few more, what, uh, if you have any other questions, please, uh,
1327
01:14:49.920 --> 01:14:50.220
put
1328
01:14:50.220 --> 01:14:57.100
them in the, the chat and I'll do my best to get through anything.
1329
01:14:57.100 --> 01:15:05.000
Uh, okay, I see a couple, um, can you speak to the position of the neck at set
1330
01:15:05.000 --> 01:15:05.300
up and
1331
01:15:05.300 --> 01:15:07.140
its effect on the backswing?
1332
01:15:07.140 --> 01:15:10.700
I have them look through the bottom of their eyes, thoughts.
1333
01:15:10.700 --> 01:15:12.900
Um, okay.
1334
01:15:12.900 --> 01:15:20.160
So when it comes to the, when it comes to the neck, um, what's, okay, when it
1335
01:15:20.160 --> 01:15:20.760
comes
1336
01:15:20.760 --> 01:15:26.530
to the orienting yourself in space, there are five major areas that humans will
1337
01:15:26.530 --> 01:15:26.860
use.
1338
01:15:26.860 --> 01:15:32.530
They use the bottoms of the feet, um, they use their eyes, their ears, their
1339
01:15:32.530 --> 01:15:33.060
jaw, and
1340
01:15:33.060 --> 01:15:34.140
their spine.
1341
01:15:34.140 --> 01:15:38.910
Um, so maybe in another talk, I'll go into more detail on those, but the
1342
01:15:38.910 --> 01:15:39.820
orientation
1343
01:15:39.820 --> 01:15:46.220
of the neck, they could be positioning it off on a funny angle in order to get
1344
01:15:46.220 --> 01:15:46.780
their,
1345
01:15:46.780 --> 01:15:52.000
like, the, the actual vertebra and their jaw more in line, um, or they could be
1346
01:15:52.000 --> 01:15:52.820
doing it
1347
01:15:52.820 --> 01:15:57.580
so that they can see what's like, so that it looks a certain way with the eyes.
1348
01:15:57.580 --> 01:16:03.360
Um, as far as looking through the bottom of the eyes versus, um, through the
1349
01:16:03.360 --> 01:16:03.820
center
1350
01:16:03.820 --> 01:16:10.300
of the eyes, the, I think the most important thing there, um, everything I've
1351
01:16:10.300 --> 01:16:10.940
seen about
1352
01:16:10.940 --> 01:16:15.660
the quiet eye is that you want more of a wide field of vision.
1353
01:16:15.660 --> 01:16:21.580
So, um, perhaps looking out the bottom of the eye, um, that will create more
1354
01:16:21.580 --> 01:16:22.260
tension
1355
01:16:22.260 --> 01:16:26.580
through, uh, by looking down, that will create more tension in the spinal cord.
1356
01:16:26.580 --> 01:16:31.350
Um, so it could limit some spine rotation, having them look down, but it would
1357
01:16:31.350 --> 01:16:31.460
also
1358
01:16:31.460 --> 01:16:36.230
put the joints possibly in better alignment, so you might free up more, um,
1359
01:16:36.230 --> 01:16:36.980
rotation that
1360
01:16:36.980 --> 01:16:37.980
way.
1361
01:16:37.980 --> 01:16:41.140
Most of these things, when you look at the, the body, there's kind of a cost
1362
01:16:41.140 --> 01:16:41.360
benefit
1363
01:16:41.360 --> 01:16:47.780
analysis where if they have better, um, say spine flexibility, they might be
1364
01:16:47.780 --> 01:16:48.500
able to get
1365
01:16:48.500 --> 01:16:50.380
away with looking through the bottom of the eyes.
1366
01:16:50.380 --> 01:16:55.150
If they're, if they have less spine flexibility, they may need less tension in
1367
01:16:55.150 --> 01:16:55.660
the, in the
1368
01:16:55.660 --> 01:17:00.430
spinal cord or the matter, um, by having looking more through the center of the
1369
01:17:00.430 --> 01:17:00.980
sockets.
1370
01:17:00.980 --> 01:17:12.190
Um, as far as the, um, the neck orientation, the, I would say that the
1371
01:17:12.190 --> 01:17:14.860
hierarchy, um, making,
1372
01:17:14.860 --> 01:17:19.630
like, if you're not comfortable screening a golfer for seeing what their neck
1373
01:17:19.630 --> 01:17:20.020
range
1374
01:17:20.020 --> 01:17:25.940
of motion is, um, then look for the shoulders first times, if they start
1375
01:17:25.940 --> 01:17:27.140
struggling, when
1376
01:17:27.140 --> 01:17:30.450
they're getting into certain positions, it usually means that they're
1377
01:17:30.450 --> 01:17:31.420
potentially trying
1378
01:17:31.420 --> 01:17:36.410
to free up some flexibility in the neck and that you might have to try to find
1379
01:17:36.410 --> 01:17:37.260
a position
1380
01:17:37.260 --> 01:17:42.030
where, um, they have a little bit more range of motion, uh, but jumping back to
1381
01:17:42.030 --> 01:17:42.660
the, the
1382
01:17:42.660 --> 01:17:47.450
eyes and the wide field of view, um, the goal is that it, it's kind of a
1383
01:17:47.450 --> 01:17:48.700
diffuse look.
1384
01:17:48.700 --> 01:17:54.480
Um, the, I heard one, one guy describe it as more like, uh, almost like when we
1385
01:17:54.480 --> 01:17:54.660
were
1386
01:17:54.660 --> 01:18:00.560
doing those magic eyes back in the day, um, where you see it, but you're not
1387
01:18:00.560 --> 01:18:01.740
really focused
1388
01:18:01.740 --> 01:18:02.740
on it.
1389
01:18:02.740 --> 01:18:07.680
So if they're, if they're too intent with where their eyes are, then I think it
1390
01:18:07.680 --> 01:18:08.260
's more
1391
01:18:08.260 --> 01:18:13.580
likely gonna disrupt the pattern rather than, um, help it.
1392
01:18:13.580 --> 01:18:17.600
They shouldn't be able to, like, read something perfectly clear, uh, when they
1393
01:18:17.600 --> 01:18:18.380
're swinging.
1394
01:18:18.380 --> 01:18:21.550
It should be kind of a soft, diffuse gaze where they're kind of seeing
1395
01:18:21.550 --> 01:18:22.380
everything all
1396
01:18:22.380 --> 01:18:23.380
at once.
1397
01:18:23.380 --> 01:18:28.300
Um, Jules has a question, what are most, what are the most likely causes of
1398
01:18:28.300 --> 01:18:29.260
rage shoulders
1399
01:18:29.260 --> 01:18:35.050
through impact immediately after, um, that ink that, uh, indicates lots of
1400
01:18:35.050 --> 01:18:35.780
tension in
1401
01:18:35.780 --> 01:18:36.780
the swing?
1402
01:18:36.780 --> 01:18:41.560
Um, yeah, so I would say, um, we're talking about kind of shrugging or pulling
1403
01:18:41.560 --> 01:18:42.500
the shoulders
1404
01:18:42.500 --> 01:18:44.660
in that way through impact.
1405
01:18:44.660 --> 01:18:49.530
That can help with moving the low point forward, um, that can help with closing
1406
01:18:49.530 --> 01:18:51.860
the club face.
1407
01:18:51.860 --> 01:18:55.740
That can help with, um, absorbing the speed.
1408
01:18:55.740 --> 01:19:02.460
Um, so any of those three, it could be done to protect the left shoulder.
1409
01:19:02.460 --> 01:19:06.560
It could be done because they're trying to hold off, um, rotation of the
1410
01:19:06.560 --> 01:19:07.380
forearm.
1411
01:19:07.380 --> 01:19:12.150
Um, it could be, it could happen because they're limited in terms of the
1412
01:19:12.150 --> 01:19:13.140
flexibility of the
1413
01:19:13.140 --> 01:19:14.140
forearm.
1414
01:19:14.140 --> 01:19:20.970
Um, that there's, there's a number of really logical causes for why they might,
1415
01:19:20.970 --> 01:19:21.460
um, be
1416
01:19:21.460 --> 01:19:24.340
kind of struggling and pulling in, uh, through impact.
1417
01:19:24.340 --> 01:19:30.290
So I would, I would, um, kind of work through the role of Dax and C. Can they
1418
01:19:30.290 --> 01:19:31.100
do it in nine
1419
01:19:31.100 --> 01:19:32.100
to three?
1420
01:19:32.100 --> 01:19:37.940
Um, then it's probably more speed related, um, if not, uh, can they do it?
1421
01:19:37.940 --> 01:19:43.930
Can they do a left arm only, um, because that one's really hard to shrug and,
1422
01:19:43.930 --> 01:19:44.500
uh, make
1423
01:19:44.500 --> 01:19:45.500
solid contact.
1424
01:19:45.500 --> 01:19:50.180
So that would be a couple, a couple of ways to investigate it.
1425
01:19:50.180 --> 01:19:55.220
Tim Taylor, what are the top three things you focus on junior golfers new to
1426
01:19:55.220 --> 01:19:55.900
golf?
1427
01:19:55.900 --> 01:19:58.060
What drills do you perform for spatial awareness?
1428
01:19:58.060 --> 01:20:00.700
Um, so junior golfers new to golf.
1429
01:20:00.700 --> 01:20:07.300
Um, I, I keep, I focus on ground contact and, uh, club face control.
1430
01:20:07.300 --> 01:20:13.420
So, um, teaching kind of club face open, club face closed, like out in front,
1431
01:20:13.420 --> 01:20:14.020
club face
1432
01:20:14.020 --> 01:20:19.810
open, club face closed, club face square at shaft parallel, same thing, follow
1433
01:20:19.810 --> 01:20:20.460
through
1434
01:20:20.460 --> 01:20:21.460
same thing.
1435
01:20:21.460 --> 01:20:24.460
If the ball goes left, it was closed, if it goes right, it was open.
1436
01:20:24.460 --> 01:20:28.150
And so working on that, if they have a hard time making contact, then working
1437
01:20:28.150 --> 01:20:28.740
on a little
1438
01:20:28.740 --> 01:20:32.800
bit more of kind of like a triangle drill and brushing the ground and then try
1439
01:20:32.800 --> 01:20:33.300
to brush
1440
01:20:33.300 --> 01:20:38.070
the ground with the ball is, um, if they can't brush the ground, then typically
1441
01:20:38.070 --> 01:20:38.780
juniors have
1442
01:20:38.780 --> 01:20:41.780
a whole lot of extra, you know, upper body movement.
1443
01:20:41.780 --> 01:20:47.560
So potentially keeping that upper body, um, learning to, whether it's with a
1444
01:20:47.560 --> 01:20:48.340
pool noodle
1445
01:20:48.340 --> 01:20:53.310
or me kind of creating a little box, just helping them visually orient where
1446
01:20:53.310 --> 01:20:54.020
their upper
1447
01:20:54.020 --> 01:20:56.860
body is in space.
1448
01:20:56.860 --> 01:21:00.910
Once you have those two, then it's more of like a rhythm thing, trying to
1449
01:21:00.910 --> 01:21:02.340
create more,
1450
01:21:02.340 --> 01:21:03.900
um, a little bit more speed.
1451
01:21:03.900 --> 01:21:08.740
That's where I'll use the rope or medicine balls or throwing, um, or, uh,
1452
01:21:08.740 --> 01:21:09.700
hockey stick
1453
01:21:09.700 --> 01:21:17.640
or stuff like that, uh, Jules, Mack told me that from P six on the head should
1454
01:21:17.640 --> 01:21:18.700
go back
1455
01:21:18.700 --> 01:21:22.530
while she, you should be looking at the ball and tilting head towards the
1456
01:21:22.530 --> 01:21:23.120
target.
1457
01:21:23.120 --> 01:21:24.120
What do you think?
1458
01:21:24.120 --> 01:21:30.950
Um, yeah, I mean, every, every 3D, especially with, uh, driver shows that from
1459
01:21:30.950 --> 01:21:32.020
P six through
1460
01:21:32.020 --> 01:21:38.850
P eight, the thorax or the head is going to be going back this way and the head
1461
01:21:38.850 --> 01:21:39.700
looking
1462
01:21:39.700 --> 01:21:45.790
at the ball, um, or tilting towards the target is going to help facilitate the
1463
01:21:45.790 --> 01:21:46.900
rotation inside
1464
01:21:46.900 --> 01:21:52.690
of P seven, but yeah, I'm a, I'm a huge believer that a lot of bad drivers of
1465
01:21:52.690 --> 01:21:54.240
golf ball, um,
1466
01:21:54.240 --> 01:21:58.060
one of the main things that is limiting them is their attempt to try to get
1467
01:21:58.060 --> 01:21:58.880
onto that front
1468
01:21:58.880 --> 01:21:59.880
foot.
1469
01:21:59.880 --> 01:22:06.120
I teach a lot of, you know, trying to hang back, um, with the driver as a, and
1470
01:22:06.120 --> 01:22:06.880
cover it
1471
01:22:06.880 --> 01:22:08.400
more with the iron.
1472
01:22:08.400 --> 01:22:14.190
So I see that a lot, um, Mike, I'm definitely not going to get to all these
1473
01:22:14.190 --> 01:22:15.240
questions.
1474
01:22:15.240 --> 01:22:19.450
I have a student that can create a lot of speed when they focus on lead foot
1475
01:22:19.450 --> 01:22:20.300
early on the
1476
01:22:20.300 --> 01:22:24.180
downswing, but they lose their arm extension early.
1477
01:22:24.180 --> 01:22:29.960
But when they slow down or swing 10 miles per hour, they can focus on right
1478
01:22:29.960 --> 01:22:30.980
wrist extension
1479
01:22:30.980 --> 01:22:43.390
and ulnar, um, gosh, so, yes, for, for some golfers, if they, um, let me, uh,
1480
01:22:43.390 --> 01:22:44.820
let me show
1481
01:22:44.820 --> 01:22:51.160
something from, bear with me one second.
1482
01:22:51.160 --> 01:22:53.020
All right.
1483
01:22:53.020 --> 01:23:00.000
So I'm collecting some video for, for doing a analysis on Cameron.
1484
01:23:00.000 --> 01:23:08.090
Uh, let me see if any of these are, okay, um, where's the one where I've got a
1485
01:23:08.090 --> 01:23:08.980
couple
1486
01:23:08.980 --> 01:23:15.580
that are zoomed in pretty good.
1487
01:23:15.580 --> 01:23:17.480
I think this will work though.
1488
01:23:17.480 --> 01:23:23.510
What you'll typically see is golfers who hit the ball a long, long way, um,
1489
01:23:23.510 --> 01:23:24.340
will tend
1490
01:23:24.340 --> 01:23:28.740
to go motorcycle a little bit later.
1491
01:23:28.740 --> 01:23:35.220
Um, so you'll see at this position that lead wrist has a, a bit of extension.
1492
01:23:35.220 --> 01:23:41.280
So that allows him to get more pull through the, the lats.
1493
01:23:41.280 --> 01:23:47.310
And then from right about here, down through impact, you'll see that he's able
1494
01:23:47.310 --> 01:23:47.860
to get a
1495
01:23:47.860 --> 01:23:48.860
little bit more flexion.
1496
01:23:48.860 --> 01:23:52.290
I, I don't want to waste the time looking for it, but I have a better, um,
1497
01:23:52.290 --> 01:23:52.980
video where
1498
01:23:52.980 --> 01:23:54.660
you can see it close up.
1499
01:23:54.660 --> 01:24:01.260
Um, that's a little bit, I mean, that's a coordination move.
1500
01:24:01.260 --> 01:24:07.050
He's figured out how to time it right so that he can create max power early and
1501
01:24:07.050 --> 01:24:07.700
then more
1502
01:24:07.700 --> 01:24:10.100
control with the wrist late.
1503
01:24:10.100 --> 01:24:20.540
What it sounds like is that your student hasn't quite figured that out yet.
1504
01:24:20.540 --> 01:24:25.770
And so he can either control the clubface with the, um, owner, or the flexion
1505
01:24:25.770 --> 01:24:26.460
of the
1506
01:24:26.460 --> 01:24:32.370
lead wrist, right, wrist extension, um, or he can create maximum speed by going
1507
01:24:32.370 --> 01:24:32.980
, you
1508
01:24:32.980 --> 01:24:39.420
know, faster with the wrist, but, um, so jumping back and forth between those
1509
01:24:39.420 --> 01:24:40.260
two is a good
1510
01:24:40.260 --> 01:24:43.660
way to kind of give them exposure to each of them.
1511
01:24:43.660 --> 01:24:50.500
Um, the other option is what could be happening is when they get a ton of lead
1512
01:24:50.500 --> 01:24:52.220
foot, um, the,
1513
01:24:52.220 --> 01:24:55.380
the upper body could be getting out of position and now their steeps and shall
1514
01:24:55.380 --> 01:24:55.860
ows is out of
1515
01:24:55.860 --> 01:25:01.640
balance and they have to use, um, so even though their speed increases, their
1516
01:25:01.640 --> 01:25:02.460
low point control
1517
01:25:02.460 --> 01:25:08.780
goes off and so they, they kind of have to, have to throttle it back, um, it,
1518
01:25:08.780 --> 01:25:10.700
it would
1519
01:25:10.700 --> 01:25:11.700
be tough.
1520
01:25:11.700 --> 01:25:16.770
So I, I definitely do some swings to, to break that out, I would do some swings
1521
01:25:16.770 --> 01:25:17.500
with full
1522
01:25:17.500 --> 01:25:21.150
speed and see if they can control where the club hits the ground, that'll let
1523
01:25:21.150 --> 01:25:21.580
me know
1524
01:25:21.580 --> 01:25:25.590
if they can do speed and path, um, if they can do that, but then can't do it
1525
01:25:25.590 --> 01:25:26.220
with a golf
1526
01:25:26.220 --> 01:25:29.380
ball, then I know that it's a pure club face, um, so that would be the
1527
01:25:29.380 --> 01:25:29.900
different shape,
1528
01:25:29.900 --> 01:25:35.020
the model I would use, um, tools with juniors, I know, I encourage them to
1529
01:25:35.020 --> 01:25:36.020
think of the golf
1530
01:25:36.020 --> 01:25:39.890
club as a tool similar to the ones that they know, that gets the coordination
1531
01:25:39.890 --> 01:25:40.300
that they
1532
01:25:40.300 --> 01:25:45.340
can find, um, that brings them pleasure and starts in that plot, I taught it.
1533
01:25:45.340 --> 01:25:50.350
Yeah, if they, if they have a background in tennis or hockey or baseball or,
1534
01:25:50.350 --> 01:25:51.180
you know,
1535
01:25:51.180 --> 01:25:59.800
some other racket or, um, stick sport, yes, it's awesome to be able, uh, to, um
1536
01:25:59.800 --> 01:26:00.820
, bring
1537
01:26:00.820 --> 01:26:05.590
what they already know how to do as part of the program, um, instead of having
1538
01:26:05.590 --> 01:26:05.980
to learn
1539
01:26:05.980 --> 01:26:08.940
everything, uh, straight from there.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.940
The goal is to cover how we see speed, both on 3D and then somewhat visually.
2
00:00:07.940 --> 00:00:12.720
As a little bonus topic, we're going to cover some wrist anatomy.
3
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:18.600
I did a presentation for the World Golf Fitness Summit where I went into what
4
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:19.200
the arms do
5
00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:20.960
during the downswing.
6
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:25.730
As a bonus, I'm going to record a little updated version, so a little bit more
7
00:00:25.730 --> 00:00:26.400
in depth on
8
00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:31.170
a couple different topics, but I'm going to record a version of that for the
9
00:00:31.170 --> 00:00:31.920
coaches in
10
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:33.440
the very near future.
11
00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:38.210
And then after we go through that, we're going to go over the questions and the
12
00:00:38.210 --> 00:00:40.680
swing discussions.
13
00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:44.500
So I'm not quite sure how long this is going to take, but I'm willing to stay
14
00:00:44.500 --> 00:00:44.920
on as long
15
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.800
as we have questions to answer.
16
00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:55.200
Okay, so as far as seeing speed from 3D, the most common way to look at it is
17
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:56.080
if you're
18
00:00:56.080 --> 00:01:04.250
looking at the downswing, so we've got a kinematic sequence graph, you look for
19
00:01:04.250 --> 00:01:06.000
how long and
20
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:12.530
how much one part of the body is moving faster than the more proximal part of
21
00:01:12.530 --> 00:01:13.680
the body.
22
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:18.450
So for example, if I have my hips or the red line on top of the green line,
23
00:01:18.450 --> 00:01:18.920
that means
24
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.920
my hips are moving faster than my torso.
25
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:27.560
That means I'm stretching and creating some power that way.
26
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:35.460
The filtium wrote an article that you can find on his website about stretching,
27
00:01:35.460 --> 00:01:36.000
writing,
28
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.430
or fanning, or basically the three different muscle activations you've got
29
00:01:39.430 --> 00:01:40.320
concentric when
30
00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:47.360
it is the muscle is shortening or activating.
31
00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:54.480
I'm getting a call from Tech Support, hello?
32
00:01:54.480 --> 00:02:12.880
Okay, was it not showing when, could you hear me?
33
00:02:12.880 --> 00:02:16.800
Okay, I will take away, I will go back and not do full swing, thanks.
34
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:24.820
Alright, so it sounds like I can't use the presenter view when using it, so we
35
00:02:24.820 --> 00:02:25.920
're going
36
00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:30.640
to go through it this way, right here.
37
00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:36.720
Okay, sorry about that, I guess this is why we're doing these beta tests.
38
00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:41.730
Okay, for the topics of the webinar, we're going to cover 3D and the Mach 3
39
00:02:41.730 --> 00:02:42.800
system, we're
40
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.460
going to get into some little bit more wrist anatomy in depth, and then we're
41
00:02:46.460 --> 00:02:46.960
going to
42
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:52.740
cover the coaches swing, or the swing submissions as well as the coaches
43
00:02:52.740 --> 00:02:53.480
questions.
44
00:02:53.480 --> 00:02:57.590
So generally when we're looking at creating power, we're looking at the kinem
45
00:02:57.590 --> 00:02:58.440
atic sequence
46
00:02:58.440 --> 00:03:06.000
and we're looking at the transition, primarily the first half of the downswing.
47
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:11.240
So basically when the lines go from negative to positive, and in what order.
48
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:18.530
So Phil Cheetham wrote an article that you can read on his website, but simply
49
00:03:18.530 --> 00:03:19.180
if the
50
00:03:19.180 --> 00:03:22.530
segment closer to the ground is moving faster than the segment closer to the
51
00:03:22.530 --> 00:03:23.280
club, you're
52
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.560
loading or you're stretching that segment.
53
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:32.660
So in this case, we're looking at the red line being the pelvis and the green
54
00:03:32.660 --> 00:03:33.680
line being
55
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:39.460
the torso, and what we're seeing is the red line cross zero first, followed by
56
00:03:39.460 --> 00:03:40.040
the green
57
00:03:40.040 --> 00:03:44.080
line, and you'll see all this space right here where the red line is over the
58
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:45.480
green line.
59
00:03:45.480 --> 00:03:51.980
They're creating a little bit of a stretch, and that one Dr. Rose has talked
60
00:03:51.980 --> 00:03:53.000
about, you
61
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.770
could take the space or the volume between those two curves and create some
62
00:03:57.770 --> 00:03:59.000
type of measurement
63
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.480
for the amount of power gained within one segment.
64
00:04:02.480 --> 00:04:08.480
So in this right here, both segments are moving at about the same speed.
65
00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:15.960
And then this over here, the segment is moving slower.
66
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:23.680
So that would look, we're testing.
67
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.880
So if we use, we'll use the pelvis because that's what that was essentially
68
00:04:27.880 --> 00:04:29.020
demonstrating.
69
00:04:29.020 --> 00:04:33.790
So basically the first graph where the lower body is increasing stretch, you
70
00:04:33.790 --> 00:04:34.240
would see
71
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:37.480
the lower body move away from the upper body.
72
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:41.200
So that would look kind of more like that.
73
00:04:41.200 --> 00:04:45.920
The second one, you would see these two segments move together.
74
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:50.950
And then the third one, you would see the upper body kind of leaving behind the
75
00:04:50.950 --> 00:04:51.480
lower
76
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:55.760
body.
77
00:04:55.760 --> 00:05:00.720
All right.
78
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:05.490
So one of the interesting things, that's one way to look at power comparing
79
00:05:05.490 --> 00:05:06.080
different
80
00:05:06.080 --> 00:05:11.060
golfer, but it's also a good way to look at power when you're comparing
81
00:05:11.060 --> 00:05:12.520
different swings.
82
00:05:12.520 --> 00:05:21.000
So for example, I've got the same tour golfer, very elite golfer, and I've got
83
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:22.160
it zoomed
84
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:25.040
in on his transition sequence.
85
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.240
So you can see the red is above the green for a long period of time.
86
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.680
The green is above the blue for a long period of time.
87
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:36.670
The blue has a little bit of writing through here, and then the blue is well
88
00:05:36.670 --> 00:05:37.440
above the
89
00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:39.160
brown for a long period of time.
90
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.600
So the red above the green, that's his core load.
91
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:50.500
The green above the blue shows that there's not a whole lot of shoulder load,
92
00:05:50.500 --> 00:05:51.800
but there's
93
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:53.000
a tiny bit.
94
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:58.950
And then the blue above the brown shows that there's a fair amount of wrist
95
00:05:58.950 --> 00:06:00.440
load, or it
96
00:06:00.440 --> 00:06:05.240
could be elbow, but in this case it's wrist.
97
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:09.120
This is the same golfer if you look at his pitch sequence.
98
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.080
So this is more of a 30 yard shot.
99
00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:18.800
So on a 30 yard shot, you can see that he's got the red above the green.
100
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:22.360
So his hips are leading, he's got a little bit of a hip stretch.
101
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:27.130
But then if we kind of jump over here, the club is moving faster than the arm,
102
00:06:27.130 --> 00:06:27.480
the arm
103
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.600
is moving faster than the torso, the torso is moving faster than the hips.
104
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:37.390
That's the classic fanning and creates more of a kind of coasting type look, or
105
00:06:37.390 --> 00:06:38.240
everything
106
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:43.760
looking like it's moving in rhythm.
107
00:06:43.760 --> 00:06:48.530
Where in the full swing version, you'll see a lot more of kind of a dynamic
108
00:06:48.530 --> 00:06:50.080
loading sequence.
109
00:06:50.080 --> 00:06:51.080
Okay.
110
00:06:51.080 --> 00:07:01.170
And not everyone has access to 3D, so here's a version of how you can see it in
111
00:07:01.170 --> 00:07:02.280
2D.
112
00:07:02.280 --> 00:07:09.370
So in 2D, if you're looking for the loading, you want to look for the lower
113
00:07:09.370 --> 00:07:10.720
body leading
114
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:11.720
first.
115
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.840
I use a reference of basically the thighs getting parallel to the ground.
116
00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:20.390
So you'll see this is Cameron Champ, obviously a long hitter, gets his thighs
117
00:07:20.390 --> 00:07:21.280
back parallel
118
00:07:21.280 --> 00:07:28.720
to the target line, roughly when the lead arm is parallel to the ground.
119
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:32.900
Then from there, you'll see the chest getting roughly parallel to the target
120
00:07:32.900 --> 00:07:33.440
line.
121
00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:35.640
About the time the shaft is parallel to the ground.
122
00:07:35.640 --> 00:07:40.440
He's actually earlier than that, which is pretty impressive.
123
00:07:40.440 --> 00:07:46.230
And then lastly, you'll see the arms and hands kind of going through two
124
00:07:46.230 --> 00:07:50.520
different versions.
125
00:07:50.520 --> 00:07:53.680
Collecting some clips so I can do an analysis on him because obviously
126
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:54.480
everybody loves to
127
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:56.520
talk about his swing right now.
128
00:07:56.520 --> 00:08:04.040
He had a great win and very, very impressive what he's able to do off the tee.
129
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:09.040
So here you can see from the face on view, you basically just have to look for,
130
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:09.480
look
131
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:15.580
at this block here moving before his chest and then his chest essentially
132
00:08:15.580 --> 00:08:16.800
moving before
133
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:17.800
his arms.
134
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:22.350
You notice how during that zone right through there, there's not much shoulder
135
00:08:22.350 --> 00:08:23.600
and arm action.
136
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:27.220
Most of that is happening from the body and then down through there, you'll see
137
00:08:27.220 --> 00:08:27.840
more of
138
00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:28.840
the arm action.
139
00:08:28.840 --> 00:08:33.560
So that's the closest way you can look at it from 2D, either looking at the
140
00:08:33.560 --> 00:08:33.880
down the
141
00:08:33.880 --> 00:08:38.420
line and looking at the parallel, the relationships compared to the target line
142
00:08:38.420 --> 00:08:39.400
, or from the face
143
00:08:39.400 --> 00:08:43.080
on view and just kind of scrubbing back and forth.
144
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:50.320
So then, that's kind of the way to look at the power in the golf swing.
145
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:57.160
This brings me to my trip down to San Antonio and checking out Mike Room Tausky
146
00:08:57.160 --> 00:08:58.560
's program.
147
00:08:58.560 --> 00:09:02.900
So I first saw some of the stuff Mike was posting with messing around with
148
00:09:02.900 --> 00:09:03.600
ropes and
149
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:11.590
I'll show some videos that I just thought, "Hey, you know, Dr. Kwan was talking
150
00:09:11.590 --> 00:09:12.280
about
151
00:09:12.280 --> 00:09:17.330
rope swinging a few years ago as a good way to feel kind of the load and being
152
00:09:17.330 --> 00:09:17.920
able to
153
00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:23.700
feel more of the force coming from the body instead of from the hands or from
154
00:09:23.700 --> 00:09:24.680
the couple."
155
00:09:24.680 --> 00:09:28.040
This seems like just a bigger extension on that.
156
00:09:28.040 --> 00:09:35.940
While I got some good benefit from using the small ropes, I've seen a lot more
157
00:09:35.940 --> 00:09:36.200
even in
158
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:42.230
the first summer, few, I'd say, month and a half that I've been really messing
159
00:09:42.230 --> 00:09:42.840
around
160
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:46.020
with looking at Mike's stuff.
161
00:09:46.020 --> 00:09:53.240
So he uses in his, I should not say whips, it should, so at his club or at his
162
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:54.280
facility,
163
00:09:54.280 --> 00:10:02.180
he uses ropes, chains and hoses, not whips, so that'll be corrected for the
164
00:10:02.180 --> 00:10:03.600
presentation.
165
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:11.600
I felt the chains and the ropes were the best.
166
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:15.870
The hoses have a really interesting feel to them, but I'm probably not going to
167
00:10:15.870 --> 00:10:16.560
implement
168
00:10:16.560 --> 00:10:21.500
a whole lot of the hose stuff in my particular facility.
169
00:10:21.500 --> 00:10:25.540
I'm definitely going to be implementing a bunch of the rope stuff, and I'm
170
00:10:25.540 --> 00:10:26.080
going to
171
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.850
do my best to get some of the chains because I will show you quickly the chain
172
00:10:30.850 --> 00:10:31.200
stuff was
173
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.720
really, really neat.
174
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.680
And that was what I would say is the main benefit to going down.
175
00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:42.450
You'll get to, if you go and have a chance to meet with him, he's got some
176
00:10:42.450 --> 00:10:43.040
pretty good
177
00:10:43.040 --> 00:10:49.880
protocols on how thick of a rope to use, how the width of or the length of the
178
00:10:49.880 --> 00:10:50.480
PVC, the
179
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:51.480
width of the PVC.
180
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:57.950
So he's got all these different kind of stations set up that you can try out,
181
00:10:57.950 --> 00:10:59.140
and it was neat
182
00:10:59.140 --> 00:11:02.710
to go there in his group because the ones that were really beneficial for me
183
00:11:02.710 --> 00:11:03.220
weren't
184
00:11:03.220 --> 00:11:07.490
necessarily the ones that were really beneficial for some of the other guys and
185
00:11:07.490 --> 00:11:08.340
vice versa.
186
00:11:08.340 --> 00:11:13.100
But one of the stations that everybody seemed to love was the chain.
187
00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:21.150
Okay, so as far as the speed goes, he's got 10 kind of rules that he goes
188
00:11:21.150 --> 00:11:22.440
through as
189
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:28.220
far as when you're training speed, you should be primarily focused on speed or
190
00:11:28.220 --> 00:11:29.180
100% focused
191
00:11:29.180 --> 00:11:31.080
on speed.
192
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.440
To do that, you need to do short sets.
193
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.440
He keeps his sets less than eight seconds.
194
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:44.840
So it's short fast intense rest, but he wants to maintain that throughout.
195
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:49.580
You don't do speed training to basically fatigue yourself.
196
00:11:49.580 --> 00:11:52.020
You shouldn't walk out the door feeling beat up.
197
00:11:52.020 --> 00:11:57.100
You should walk out the door feeling like you could swing your fastest.
198
00:11:57.100 --> 00:12:02.890
So part of that, he does short sets with a lot of rest in order to prevent
199
00:12:02.890 --> 00:12:03.660
building up
200
00:12:03.660 --> 00:12:05.820
too much fatigue.
201
00:12:05.820 --> 00:12:07.960
He doesn't have a whole kind of workout circuit.
202
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:12.730
A lot of the stuff is more geared around, there's a good warm up and then just
203
00:12:12.730 --> 00:12:13.100
a lot
204
00:12:13.100 --> 00:12:15.500
of total body swinging.
205
00:12:15.500 --> 00:12:19.110
Your goal for creating speed, which a few of the questions that we'll get to
206
00:12:19.110 --> 00:12:19.600
here in
207
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:25.900
a bit are related to, is to make every movement a total body movement.
208
00:12:25.900 --> 00:12:33.820
He believes that you should measure club at speed each session and then, which
209
00:12:33.820 --> 00:12:34.540
so he had
210
00:12:34.540 --> 00:12:39.790
charts or kind of, he would list how much each of his students had gained in
211
00:12:39.790 --> 00:12:40.660
speed.
212
00:12:40.660 --> 00:12:47.540
And he'd say that you'll typically see some peaks and valleys to that.
213
00:12:47.540 --> 00:12:53.260
Not everyone is going to increase speed at the same rate.
214
00:12:53.260 --> 00:12:56.670
Some people are going to have faster improvements and then kind of plateau and
215
00:12:56.670 --> 00:12:57.580
then gain again.
216
00:12:57.580 --> 00:13:00.700
Some people are going to have more gradual improvements.
217
00:13:00.700 --> 00:13:04.050
Everybody's a little bit different there, but if you're measuring it, people
218
00:13:04.050 --> 00:13:04.520
can start
219
00:13:04.520 --> 00:13:09.940
to connect, did this work for me or was this a bad one?
220
00:13:09.940 --> 00:13:13.780
And then the last piece, again, I kind of threw out the hoses, but the ropes
221
00:13:13.780 --> 00:13:14.180
and the
222
00:13:14.180 --> 00:13:21.030
chains force you to kind of react to the resistance, because the resistance is
223
00:13:21.030 --> 00:13:23.420
constantly changing,
224
00:13:23.420 --> 00:13:29.450
which is very different than when you're lifting a weight or barbell, dumbbell,
225
00:13:29.450 --> 00:13:30.340
even kettlebells
226
00:13:30.340 --> 00:13:32.020
have a little bit less of that.
227
00:13:32.020 --> 00:13:38.140
Okay, so now I've got a bunch of videos and pictures from his facility.
228
00:13:38.140 --> 00:13:44.970
So some of you may recognize this pro, but this little station here, this was
229
00:13:44.970 --> 00:13:45.480
probably
230
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:51.450
the coolest thing out there, which was this little chain that gradually got
231
00:13:51.450 --> 00:13:52.360
thicker.
232
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.180
And the goal was a few warm up swings and then there's that eight seconds as
233
00:13:56.180 --> 00:13:56.520
fast as
234
00:13:56.520 --> 00:14:01.650
you can, and you'll see he gets out of it pretty quickly, because you can't go
235
00:14:01.650 --> 00:14:02.040
that
236
00:14:02.040 --> 00:14:04.560
hard for very long.
237
00:14:04.560 --> 00:14:09.330
But the chain has just kind of a regular grip and then it gets gradually
238
00:14:09.330 --> 00:14:10.040
thicker.
239
00:14:10.040 --> 00:14:17.320
I'm not sure how far it was every 10 feet, every 15 feet, but they're going to
240
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:18.680
be making
241
00:14:18.680 --> 00:14:22.960
a kind of commercial product available to this and I can't wait to get my hands
242
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:23.360
on one
243
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:25.360
of these.
244
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:28.770
As you can see through there, it's all one thickness and then right about there
245
00:14:28.770 --> 00:14:29.560
it switches.
246
00:14:29.560 --> 00:14:34.960
And there were about three or four different lengths all the way to the end.
247
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:39.730
If you're using, because what'll happen, if it's all the same, if it's all
248
00:14:39.730 --> 00:14:40.480
light chain,
249
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:45.900
as you swing it'll work in towards you, so you either have to have more weight
250
00:14:45.900 --> 00:14:46.240
at the
251
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:51.070
end, which this kind of does, or you could put it down a hill so that it can't
252
00:14:51.070 --> 00:14:52.080
climb up
253
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:53.080
at you.
254
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:56.520
Both of those were pretty useful.
255
00:14:56.520 --> 00:15:01.070
The thing that was interesting about this, I almost can't describe the feeling
256
00:15:01.070 --> 00:15:01.920
in transition.
257
00:15:01.920 --> 00:15:08.960
It felt very light in transition and then seemed to get heavier as you got
258
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.920
closer to impact.
259
00:15:11.920 --> 00:15:18.070
So because you're just really moving the lightest part through transition and
260
00:15:18.070 --> 00:15:19.160
then you really
261
00:15:19.160 --> 00:15:25.180
have to work hard, it does force you to apply the speed with the arms later,
262
00:15:25.180 --> 00:15:26.240
which there's
263
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:30.560
a few questions about, so we will absolutely cover.
264
00:15:30.560 --> 00:15:36.930
Okay, and now the rest of the videos here from his place will be me messing
265
00:15:36.930 --> 00:15:38.040
around with
266
00:15:38.040 --> 00:15:40.040
them.
267
00:15:40.040 --> 00:15:47.360
So he has a couple of different length pieces of PVC.
268
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:52.160
So this one is just an 18-inch kind of flexible PVC pipe.
269
00:15:52.160 --> 00:15:57.130
I'll show you a version I found at Home Depot, but the good one you can get at
270
00:15:57.130 --> 00:15:57.960
Amazon.
271
00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:03.740
And this is doing these two different clips, or me, doing some figure eight
272
00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:04.280
circles back
273
00:16:04.280 --> 00:16:06.160
and forth up and down.
274
00:16:06.160 --> 00:16:13.120
So basically doing some, let's say wrist forearm shoulder training.
275
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:17.400
So precision of forearm, both right-handed, both left-handed.
276
00:16:17.400 --> 00:16:21.160
You could do them after you've done them right-handed, left-handed.
277
00:16:21.160 --> 00:16:25.930
I think you could, if you were putting it in a class, you could do both hands
278
00:16:25.930 --> 00:16:26.560
as well.
279
00:16:26.560 --> 00:16:32.340
But you get a pretty good, I don't want to say cardio workout, but you do get a
280
00:16:32.340 --> 00:16:32.440
pretty
281
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:35.720
good beating doing this stuff.
282
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:38.240
I wouldn't put this in kind of the speed category.
283
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:42.060
So when Mike says you're doing speed training, that's more of the chain, more
284
00:16:42.060 --> 00:16:43.400
of the jet stick.
285
00:16:43.400 --> 00:16:46.520
This I think of as almost more coordination training.
286
00:16:46.520 --> 00:16:48.760
And it's really cool.
287
00:16:48.760 --> 00:16:52.970
There are some things that are hard to communicate, but easy to feel when you
288
00:16:52.970 --> 00:16:54.280
start using a rope.
289
00:16:54.280 --> 00:16:55.280
Okay.
290
00:16:55.280 --> 00:16:58.680
This next one was a little bit longer cord, which was kind of cool.
291
00:16:58.680 --> 00:17:03.020
But the thing I really liked, which I'll show you what I'm messing around with
292
00:17:03.020 --> 00:17:03.760
now, is I'm
293
00:17:03.760 --> 00:17:09.800
swinging an axe handle there, and I'm actually doing trail hand open.
294
00:17:09.800 --> 00:17:17.770
So because the axe handle has a flat face to it, you can really feel the right
295
00:17:17.770 --> 00:17:18.780
hand pushing
296
00:17:18.780 --> 00:17:21.440
against the club.
297
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:25.260
So I'm planning to mess around with the axe handle and just doing some club
298
00:17:25.260 --> 00:17:26.120
face awareness
299
00:17:26.120 --> 00:17:28.400
things.
300
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:37.000
Mike liked to separate skill and club face from the speed generation.
301
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:40.680
So everything he did in there was all about speed.
302
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:46.470
But I've found that if in my personal experience, I think you can get better
303
00:17:46.470 --> 00:17:47.880
transfer or carry
304
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:53.360
over if you train club face as well as sequencing.
305
00:17:53.360 --> 00:17:59.140
So I think this is one of the best tools for training that because it has the
306
00:17:59.140 --> 00:17:59.960
broad flatness
307
00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:07.320
that allows you to feel a club face rather than just the rope like this PVC.
308
00:18:07.320 --> 00:18:13.240
So now what you got here is me swinging.
309
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:25.180
This one has an 18 inch PVC and then 18 inch of a PVC connector, so it's called
310
00:18:25.180 --> 00:18:25.920
a flexible
311
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:28.500
PVC connection.
312
00:18:28.500 --> 00:18:35.010
And those two linked together create a really neat feel because it's very
313
00:18:35.010 --> 00:18:36.480
different than
314
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.520
when you're just swinging a PVC.
315
00:18:38.520 --> 00:18:43.660
I'll show you one in slow motion where you can really feel some of that shall
316
00:18:43.660 --> 00:18:44.560
owing and
317
00:18:44.560 --> 00:18:46.080
the club loading.
318
00:18:46.080 --> 00:18:55.170
So here's one in slow motion and you can see what's getting trained at the tip
319
00:18:55.170 --> 00:18:56.000
end.
320
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:04.120
So you can see some really cool exaggerations on building and maintaining lag.
321
00:19:04.120 --> 00:19:07.530
So when I mess around with this, I'm going to try to get some good video of
322
00:19:07.530 --> 00:19:08.080
students
323
00:19:08.080 --> 00:19:11.360
doing it as well.
324
00:19:11.360 --> 00:19:16.830
Because the longer the stick and the more flexible the stick, the easier it is
325
00:19:16.830 --> 00:19:17.320
to get
326
00:19:17.320 --> 00:19:18.320
that loading feel.
327
00:19:18.320 --> 00:19:20.160
And so this is called the shallow stick.
328
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:26.300
I think it's got a really good combination of longer and flexible tip to allow
329
00:19:26.300 --> 00:19:26.880
you to
330
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:29.240
feel that shallow movement.
331
00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:35.550
Let's see, I think this is just, yeah, so John Sinclair was asking me to do
332
00:19:35.550 --> 00:19:36.580
something
333
00:19:36.580 --> 00:19:47.040
specific, kind of exaggerating almost, really exaggerating that shallow move.
334
00:19:47.040 --> 00:19:52.840
Like I said, that's going to be one of my favorite ones to mess around with.
335
00:19:52.840 --> 00:19:53.840
Now it's hard.
336
00:19:53.840 --> 00:19:59.620
What you'll see is I tried to go right back into the next rep and the rope got
337
00:19:59.620 --> 00:20:00.200
all out
338
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:01.960
of position.
339
00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:05.520
It really forces you to wait for it.
340
00:20:05.520 --> 00:20:10.640
So if you have any of your students who have a tendency to really pull hard in
341
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:11.780
transition,
342
00:20:11.780 --> 00:20:14.960
then this can be a very valuable tool.
343
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:19.730
I'm going to mention this in the summary piece, but one of the things that
344
00:20:19.730 --> 00:20:20.520
perhaps I haven't
345
00:20:20.520 --> 00:20:26.300
stressed as much as I should on the site is that if you have a steepening in
346
00:20:26.300 --> 00:20:27.440
transition,
347
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:32.000
it's almost always connected to how you're powering the swing.
348
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:36.150
If you are powering the swing more from the hips and core, more rotary, the
349
00:20:36.150 --> 00:20:36.760
club will
350
00:20:36.760 --> 00:20:37.760
shallow.
351
00:20:37.760 --> 00:20:42.800
If you're powering it more from the arms and shoulders, the club will steepen.
352
00:20:42.800 --> 00:20:49.940
So almost 100% of the time when someone has a steepening problem in transition,
353
00:20:49.940 --> 00:20:50.760
they're
354
00:20:50.760 --> 00:20:54.760
going to have to work on getting some amount of shallow.
355
00:20:54.760 --> 00:20:59.530
Okay, so now I made a couple of these before I went out to see them, because I
356
00:20:59.530 --> 00:21:00.360
just wanted
357
00:21:00.360 --> 00:21:05.280
to mess around with some of my students and see what kind of reactions I was
358
00:21:05.280 --> 00:21:06.080
getting.
359
00:21:06.080 --> 00:21:12.220
And you'll see one of the common themes is a lot more of trying to use the body
360
00:21:12.220 --> 00:21:12.640
, trying
361
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:20.000
to use the upper body to essentially throw the whip, right?
362
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:24.120
And so he's essentially getting a little bit more of a pushing action.
363
00:21:24.120 --> 00:21:27.960
I'll show you one more over here.
364
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:35.640
So this you can see not quite as fluid as far as sequencing the arms.
365
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:40.410
And that's very much what happens with these two golfers in their actual golf
366
00:21:40.410 --> 00:21:41.080
swing.
367
00:21:41.080 --> 00:21:49.730
So this is doing some two-way speed with the jet stick, one of Mike's few
368
00:21:49.730 --> 00:21:51.440
programs.
369
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:55.260
And I've actually referred a few of these out and sold a bunch, and so far
370
00:21:55.260 --> 00:21:55.840
everybody
371
00:21:55.840 --> 00:21:56.840
likes it.
372
00:21:56.840 --> 00:22:02.560
I like the feeling of the jet stick a lot more than something like the orange
373
00:22:02.560 --> 00:22:02.880
whip.
374
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:09.710
And there's two main things that Mike uses for speed that makes sense to me
375
00:22:09.710 --> 00:22:10.800
anyway.
376
00:22:10.800 --> 00:22:16.590
One is over here on the left where your goal is to get the speed kind of
377
00:22:16.590 --> 00:22:17.840
throwing it out
378
00:22:17.840 --> 00:22:19.760
towards the target.
379
00:22:19.760 --> 00:22:24.040
And then the other one is, and I've used the rope and chain for both of these,
380
00:22:24.040 --> 00:22:24.520
but the
381
00:22:24.520 --> 00:22:31.320
other one is essentially trying to get the same amount of speed back and forth.
382
00:22:31.320 --> 00:22:34.480
When you're trying to get the same amount of speed back and forth, your body
383
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:34.880
pivot has
384
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:39.120
to stay very tight and you have to stay kind of grounded.
385
00:22:39.120 --> 00:22:44.280
If you start throwing your body too much in one direction, kind of sway slide
386
00:22:44.280 --> 00:22:45.200
or thrust,
387
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:49.760
you won't be able to create the speed going back in the same direction.
388
00:22:49.760 --> 00:22:55.540
So these tools from a coordination standpoint, I think, are very good at
389
00:22:55.540 --> 00:22:56.320
getting a golfer
390
00:22:56.320 --> 00:23:02.650
to feel improved sequencing without having to necessarily talk too much about
391
00:23:02.650 --> 00:23:03.960
sequencing.
392
00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:08.800
They just kind of figure some of the stuff out when they're swinging a rope
393
00:23:08.800 --> 00:23:09.480
compared
394
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:11.760
to when they're swinging a golf club.
395
00:23:11.760 --> 00:23:15.110
Now the challenge, they're not controlling a clubface and they're not
396
00:23:15.110 --> 00:23:16.640
controlling a path,
397
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:21.960
but they're working on sequencing.
398
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:28.400
Got another example here.
399
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:34.180
So this is one of the things that one of the other instructors and myself kind
400
00:23:34.180 --> 00:23:34.720
of liked
401
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:38.550
is imagine if I, and I put this in because this was before I went, it's not
402
00:23:38.550 --> 00:23:39.200
perfect,
403
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:41.000
but I've got a longer PVC.
404
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:47.150
Imagine if I had jin choking up closer to the handle there, then I could almost
405
00:23:47.150 --> 00:23:47.960
use it like
406
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:53.640
an alignment stick sticking out the butt end and learning to get that snap or
407
00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:54.160
pop of the
408
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:59.340
club more from the whip of the body and less from the hands.
409
00:23:59.340 --> 00:24:03.400
You would not be able to, basically you would hit yourself on the side if you
410
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:04.040
were getting
411
00:24:04.040 --> 00:24:06.640
all of the speed from the hands.
412
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:11.410
So I'm trying to play around with different ways that I can use this for
413
00:24:11.410 --> 00:24:12.120
training the
414
00:24:12.120 --> 00:24:16.080
release and the feelings of the release.
415
00:24:16.080 --> 00:24:20.940
Now my first version of the flexible tool was a cardboard tube because I
416
00:24:20.940 --> 00:24:21.920
thought that
417
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:26.690
would have enough, just cardboard tubes last about a week before someone squee
418
00:24:26.690 --> 00:24:27.080
zes as so
419
00:24:27.080 --> 00:24:29.520
tight they fall apart.
420
00:24:29.520 --> 00:24:33.480
So I don't necessarily recommend that.
421
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:39.510
But this is a golfer essentially trying to get it more with the body, but
422
00:24:39.510 --> 00:24:40.720
really doing
423
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:41.720
it more with the upper.
424
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:46.490
I'm going to walk you through a few little progressions, you'll see that it's
425
00:24:46.490 --> 00:24:47.040
happening
426
00:24:47.040 --> 00:24:51.990
more from that right arm, essentially what he's doing with that right arm is
427
00:24:51.990 --> 00:24:52.560
you can
428
00:24:52.560 --> 00:24:59.800
see it kind of throwing behind and then slowing down as it goes through.
429
00:24:59.800 --> 00:25:05.320
I showed him what I wanted it to look like.
430
00:25:05.320 --> 00:25:11.750
So I wanted it to have more kind of acceleration through there and less
431
00:25:11.750 --> 00:25:13.840
acceleration kind of
432
00:25:13.840 --> 00:25:14.840
through there.
433
00:25:14.840 --> 00:25:20.240
One of the reasons that Mike liked that seems to resonate with some golfers is
434
00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:21.000
you don't
435
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:27.000
want to speed up the hands with your arms while the club is traveling downward.
436
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:32.780
You want to speed up the hands later in the swing when it's going more towards
437
00:25:32.780 --> 00:25:33.800
the target.
438
00:25:33.800 --> 00:25:39.590
So then this is him again playing around and feeling more of that late
439
00:25:39.590 --> 00:25:41.080
acceleration.
440
00:25:41.080 --> 00:25:47.370
So now you can see just in a span of about 10 minutes, we found a tool that he
441
00:25:47.370 --> 00:25:48.120
can use
442
00:25:48.120 --> 00:25:53.900
to get good sequence training, but now we're going to have to adapt the way he
443
00:25:53.900 --> 00:25:54.320
controls
444
00:25:54.320 --> 00:25:58.640
the path and the way he controls the club face to match a better sequencing.
445
00:25:58.640 --> 00:26:04.570
But for this golfer whose main goal is distance, this will be an important
446
00:26:04.570 --> 00:26:06.480
piece of the puzzle.
447
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:12.440
And then this one I wanted to show you make sure that you give them enough rope
448
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:13.120
or else
449
00:26:13.120 --> 00:26:18.360
essentially they're going to get to the end of the rope too soon.
450
00:26:18.360 --> 00:26:24.120
You want there to be plenty of slack and I'll demonstrate that with the little
451
00:26:24.120 --> 00:26:24.480
home version
452
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:27.280
I've got set up here.
453
00:26:27.280 --> 00:26:31.520
I also have been messing around with doing more of a split grip like I was
454
00:26:31.520 --> 00:26:32.240
doing with
455
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:39.520
the axe so that it forces them to use their core even a little bit more.
456
00:26:39.520 --> 00:26:45.370
Okay, so the main tool, if you were just going to mess around with this, I just
457
00:26:45.370 --> 00:26:45.800
added these
458
00:26:45.800 --> 00:26:51.650
two pictures so that you can kind of see Docline has a loop at one end, which
459
00:26:51.650 --> 00:26:52.560
makes it really
460
00:26:52.560 --> 00:26:58.350
easy for attaching this type of stuff and it's a little bit more weather
461
00:26:58.350 --> 00:26:59.600
resistant.
462
00:26:59.600 --> 00:27:02.840
And then the purpose of this picture is you see those buckets.
463
00:27:02.840 --> 00:27:07.480
That's what he uses for kind of keeping clutter out of the way.
464
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:13.260
So you basically coil them in like a snake and then you know where you've got
465
00:27:13.260 --> 00:27:13.720
each length
466
00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:20.120
tool it should help with kind of organization and cleanup because my teaching
467
00:27:20.120 --> 00:27:21.040
facility already
468
00:27:21.040 --> 00:27:25.520
gets a little bit messy so that was one of my key takeaways.
469
00:27:25.520 --> 00:27:31.450
Alright, so if we're breaking it down, you basically need two different handle
470
00:27:31.450 --> 00:27:32.520
length.
471
00:27:32.520 --> 00:27:37.290
One, let's say three to four feet, I'd air more on like the forefoot,
472
00:27:37.290 --> 00:27:38.920
especially if you're
473
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:42.520
able to get the flexible connector, it works great.
474
00:27:42.520 --> 00:27:47.290
And then a short one, say a foot to 18 inches for doing more of the wrist arm
475
00:27:47.290 --> 00:27:47.840
training.
476
00:27:47.840 --> 00:27:52.700
So the longer the handle, the more that it's about the body and the legs, and
477
00:27:52.700 --> 00:27:53.320
then the
478
00:27:53.320 --> 00:27:56.400
short ones, the more that it's about the arms.
479
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:02.180
I didn't get any videos of his other tool, which is he basically has a long
480
00:28:02.180 --> 00:28:03.160
stick, I'll
481
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:07.040
show you here in two seconds.
482
00:28:07.040 --> 00:28:11.810
So he has a long stick that he basically puts in the middle of your body and it
483
00:28:11.810 --> 00:28:12.240
's really
484
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:18.040
good for getting just your hips to activate.
485
00:28:18.040 --> 00:28:22.320
The two main tools that he uses are the rope and the chain.
486
00:28:22.320 --> 00:28:25.670
I'm airing more towards the rope for safety and simplicity, but once I can get
487
00:28:25.670 --> 00:28:26.200
a hand on
488
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:29.840
that graduated chain, I'll let you know how well I like that.
489
00:28:29.840 --> 00:28:34.610
And then as far as motions, the two-way speed going back and forth is great for
490
00:28:34.610 --> 00:28:35.400
kind of
491
00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:39.810
working on balance, working on sequencing while maintaining a more centered
492
00:28:39.810 --> 00:28:40.400
pivot, and
493
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:47.230
then speed out in front is good at kind of training that kinematic sequence and
494
00:28:47.230 --> 00:28:48.200
the getting
495
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:52.840
the energy from the ground early in the hands late.
496
00:28:52.840 --> 00:28:58.920
So let me swing that back to here.
497
00:28:58.920 --> 00:29:06.820
Okay, so the one piece of equipment that I was describing, so here's the axe
498
00:29:06.820 --> 00:29:07.440
handle.
499
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:13.220
So you can see it's got a flat, flat face, and just for feeling essentially
500
00:29:13.220 --> 00:29:13.900
where that
501
00:29:13.900 --> 00:29:17.800
would be in space, this thing's really cool.
502
00:29:17.800 --> 00:29:22.570
What he had was a longer PVC pipe, so about six feet, so imagine a couple feet
503
00:29:22.570 --> 00:29:23.040
extending
504
00:29:23.040 --> 00:29:26.440
in each direction with ropes hanging out the sides.
505
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:30.780
And then you hold it in close and you'd essentially just try to create whips
506
00:29:30.780 --> 00:29:32.440
going back and forth
507
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:35.360
by turning from your lowered body.
508
00:29:35.360 --> 00:29:41.150
A couple golfers who were more upper body dominant really got a change in their
509
00:29:41.150 --> 00:29:41.600
lower
510
00:29:41.600 --> 00:29:43.200
body load pattern.
511
00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:47.970
For me personally, it was a little bit tougher because this position kind of
512
00:29:47.970 --> 00:29:48.760
exaggerates
513
00:29:48.760 --> 00:29:55.260
some of my next stuff, and I already have a lot more lower body power in my
514
00:29:55.260 --> 00:29:56.240
swing.
515
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:03.420
So the rope things, here's a, you can get this one at Home Depot, it's just a
516
00:30:03.420 --> 00:30:04.480
flexible
517
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:05.480
PVC pipe.
518
00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:10.710
So you see that it's got, it's basically for connecting a couple of pieces, but
519
00:30:10.710 --> 00:30:11.280
it has
520
00:30:11.280 --> 00:30:13.760
a little bit more of the give to it.
521
00:30:13.760 --> 00:30:19.900
The one that there's something called a flex PVC connect, those were kind of
522
00:30:19.900 --> 00:30:21.060
the keywords
523
00:30:21.060 --> 00:30:25.320
load for, I found it on Amazon, but it's even more and more flexible.
524
00:30:25.320 --> 00:30:28.230
So I'm going to play around with this one because they didn't have the one that
525
00:30:28.230 --> 00:30:28.640
I really
526
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:30.720
wanted yesterday.
527
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:37.930
And then this is just that, that docking rope and the key thing to the key
528
00:30:37.930 --> 00:30:38.880
piece of
529
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:41.920
the docking rope is at one end, it already has a loop.
530
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:49.820
So what you can either do is if you have like I have basically an old thing
531
00:30:49.820 --> 00:30:50.760
that I can,
532
00:30:50.760 --> 00:30:54.600
you know, that's heavy enough that it won't get pulled and I can just attach a
533
00:30:54.600 --> 00:30:55.000
clip to
534
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:56.000
it.
535
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:59.960
So that way I can quickly and easily take it in and out.
536
00:30:59.960 --> 00:31:06.790
Or you can, if you have like a chair or one of those, what some people talk
537
00:31:06.790 --> 00:31:07.520
about was
538
00:31:07.520 --> 00:31:12.690
either using stakes or the, the poles that you put, you know, like dog leashes
539
00:31:12.690 --> 00:31:13.400
attached
540
00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:15.840
to where you screw it into the ground.
541
00:31:15.840 --> 00:31:19.400
Those would both work really well with this thing.
542
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:24.590
So if you're messing around with the rope, you basically want to make sure that
543
00:31:24.590 --> 00:31:25.360
you've
544
00:31:25.360 --> 00:31:29.600
got enough slack so that you're not going to hit it and you basically, you don
545
00:31:29.600 --> 00:31:30.040
't want
546
00:31:30.040 --> 00:31:33.400
to do it directly in line with where this is attached.
547
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:34.960
So right now it's attached there.
548
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:38.960
If I did it directly in line will happen is when it gets to the end, it will
549
00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:39.840
come snapping
550
00:31:39.840 --> 00:31:40.840
back at me.
551
00:31:40.840 --> 00:31:46.180
So at minimum, you want like a 30 degree angle or so, but facing the attachment
552
00:31:46.180 --> 00:31:47.080
is probably
553
00:31:47.080 --> 00:31:52.210
a little bit safer and then getting that snap late through the ball, instead of
554
00:31:52.210 --> 00:31:52.880
getting
555
00:31:52.880 --> 00:32:01.770
that snap down at the ball, I'd say you don't want to, you don't want to get
556
00:32:01.770 --> 00:32:03.080
pulled by the
557
00:32:03.080 --> 00:32:04.440
rope at the end.
558
00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:10.290
So you want to make sure that you've got at least I'd say 35, 25, 35 feet at
559
00:32:10.290 --> 00:32:11.480
the minimum,
560
00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:13.680
but we were using mostly 50 foot rope.
561
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:18.450
So depending on how much space you have, I'll let you know if the one I was
562
00:32:18.450 --> 00:32:19.040
able to get
563
00:32:19.040 --> 00:32:25.420
last night is the 25 foot rope, I'll let you know how that works as far as
564
00:32:25.420 --> 00:32:26.360
space.
565
00:32:26.360 --> 00:32:32.340
I think it should be good when I could, when we were inside on like a gym floor
566
00:32:32.340 --> 00:32:33.200
, I could
567
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:36.790
see how if you only had 25 feet, it wouldn't be enough because it has a lot of
568
00:32:36.790 --> 00:32:37.240
carry, but
569
00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:42.010
I think out in my facility where I'm all be doing this mostly on grass, I think
570
00:32:42.010 --> 00:32:42.480
the added
571
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:48.230
friction from the grass will make it so that the 25 foot is a little bit better
572
00:32:48.230 --> 00:32:48.760
or works
573
00:32:48.760 --> 00:32:50.600
out fine.
574
00:32:50.600 --> 00:33:00.330
Okay, so let me get back to the PowerPoint, we're going to get into some
575
00:33:00.330 --> 00:33:02.880
questions now.
576
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:09.110
So before we get into just discussion questions, I figured the more fun stuff
577
00:33:09.110 --> 00:33:11.000
is to look at
578
00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:12.600
the swing.
579
00:33:12.600 --> 00:33:18.490
So one of our coaches sent in, new student of a month ago, he's a nine handicap
580
00:33:18.490 --> 00:33:18.880
.
581
00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:22.900
When we first started, he was hitting everything on the heel and shanking a lot
582
00:33:22.900 --> 00:33:23.740
of shots, tends
583
00:33:23.740 --> 00:33:27.170
to move towards his toes during the swing, I've been working on the butt
584
00:33:27.170 --> 00:33:27.920
fingerprint
585
00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:32.270
back 45 and some nine to three drills with him, I've also done some shank gate
586
00:33:32.270 --> 00:33:33.120
type drills
587
00:33:33.120 --> 00:33:37.480
and have used the doctor's shoals for awareness, any other suggestions.
588
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:48.040
So I'll bring it up in analyzer, actually this works pretty well.
589
00:33:48.040 --> 00:33:58.130
So there's a couple little pieces going on, so my first goal, if we're trying
590
00:33:58.130 --> 00:33:59.640
to improve
591
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:04.480
his brain's ability to sense where the heel and the toe is in space, all right?
592
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:09.250
So I've got to, I've got to first see what he's recognizing or what he's
593
00:34:09.250 --> 00:34:10.240
registering.
594
00:34:10.240 --> 00:34:14.580
So first question is almost always going to be, okay, where on the club are you
595
00:34:14.580 --> 00:34:15.240
hitting?
596
00:34:15.240 --> 00:34:20.230
If he says it's on the heel versus the toe, then we're at least in the right
597
00:34:20.230 --> 00:34:21.320
ballpark.
598
00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:24.550
But he may think he's hitting it way on the toe, he may have no clue, that's
599
00:34:24.550 --> 00:34:25.120
the first
600
00:34:25.120 --> 00:34:28.760
step is we have to understand where it is on the club.
601
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:34.580
And what I would probably do is I would, actually I'll bring this up in the
602
00:34:34.580 --> 00:34:35.680
analyzer to make
603
00:34:35.680 --> 00:34:41.440
it easier for me to draw lines.
604
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:49.340
So what I would probably do, hopefully you can see this, okay, this is the next
605
00:34:49.340 --> 00:34:50.120
one over
606
00:34:50.120 --> 00:34:51.520
here.
607
00:34:51.520 --> 00:34:58.350
So what I would do is I would get my camera out and I would do a video where I
608
00:34:58.350 --> 00:34:59.320
basically
609
00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:01.720
had the camera zoomed in there.
610
00:35:01.720 --> 00:35:08.920
So I'd be standing relatively close right on the target line, not like good
611
00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:10.240
camera, you
612
00:35:10.240 --> 00:35:13.120
know, like where you put the camera for analyzing the swing.
613
00:35:13.120 --> 00:35:16.360
So not in line with the hands, right in line with the target line.
614
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:21.420
And then what I would do is I would zoom in and slow it down here and he would
615
00:35:21.420 --> 00:35:21.920
see this
616
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:27.710
one wasn't bad, but it is potentially flirting with maybe a little bit extra
617
00:35:27.710 --> 00:35:28.400
heel.
618
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:34.180
And this is him probably feeling like it was way out, you know, like he was
619
00:35:34.180 --> 00:35:34.860
falling backward
620
00:35:34.860 --> 00:35:39.640
or, or trying to hit it more on the toe.
621
00:35:39.640 --> 00:35:44.400
Then I would do, once he, we understood that it was hitting it on the heel.
622
00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:48.730
The next thing is I would show him that there are two ways to hit it on the
623
00:35:48.730 --> 00:35:49.360
heel.
624
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:53.120
One is if the club face is coming in wide open.
625
00:35:53.120 --> 00:36:04.560
And two is if the club is just moving way out towards the target.
626
00:36:04.560 --> 00:36:13.260
So basically I would have golf ball here and I would show him, all right, there
627
00:36:13.260 --> 00:36:13.760
's two ways
628
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:15.040
to bring the hosel out.
629
00:36:15.040 --> 00:36:20.110
One would be the club face coming in wide open like this, or two is I set up
630
00:36:20.110 --> 00:36:20.760
here and
631
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:23.440
just the club is moving that way.
632
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:28.120
And I would ask him which one of those two does he think is going on?
633
00:36:28.120 --> 00:36:32.890
Because again, a big piece of this is figuring out what piece of information he
634
00:36:32.890 --> 00:36:33.520
's paying
635
00:36:33.520 --> 00:36:38.840
attention to, not just what's happening and what's the best way to fix it.
636
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:44.650
So hopefully he would say the club is moving out, in which case I would go to
637
00:36:44.650 --> 00:36:45.480
some type
638
00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:48.320
of awareness thing.
639
00:36:48.320 --> 00:36:54.320
So like the shank gate, almost always my first go to is the, put the three T's.
640
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:57.910
So I would put two T's and then one in the middle and I'd have them set up to
641
00:36:57.910 --> 00:36:58.600
the middle
642
00:36:58.600 --> 00:37:02.160
T, just like the shank gate.
643
00:37:02.160 --> 00:37:07.040
So inside T on an angle like this, outside T vertical, middle T right here and
644
00:37:07.040 --> 00:37:07.440
I'd say
645
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:11.380
try and hit the middle T and if he hit the outside T, because I'd have a pretty
646
00:37:11.380 --> 00:37:11.800
tight
647
00:37:11.800 --> 00:37:15.940
window there, he would start to recognize, wow, the club is moving further away
648
00:37:15.940 --> 00:37:16.200
from
649
00:37:16.200 --> 00:37:17.200
me.
650
00:37:17.200 --> 00:37:21.020
So then the next step is trying to get him to hit the inside T and then I would
651
00:37:21.020 --> 00:37:21.600
replace
652
00:37:21.600 --> 00:37:26.150
the middle T with a golf ball and I'd say, can you hit the golf ball with the
653
00:37:26.150 --> 00:37:26.560
toe and
654
00:37:26.560 --> 00:37:30.160
the inside T with the heel?
655
00:37:30.160 --> 00:37:33.510
If he's able to figure all that out, then it's basically questioning and
656
00:37:33.510 --> 00:37:34.120
probing and
657
00:37:34.120 --> 00:37:37.720
helping him figure out, well, how are you doing that, are you controlling it
658
00:37:37.720 --> 00:37:38.240
more by
659
00:37:38.240 --> 00:37:41.800
where your body is, more by where your arms are, more by your weight
660
00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:42.840
distribution, more
661
00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:47.720
by your tempo, how are you doing it?
662
00:37:47.720 --> 00:37:52.280
Once we've got the skill figured out, we're working on the heel toe awareness.
663
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:56.420
So once we have that skill figured out, then I talked to him about technique
664
00:37:56.420 --> 00:37:57.160
and I'd help
665
00:37:57.160 --> 00:38:02.940
him understand that we're layering in technique to improve the skill of where
666
00:38:02.940 --> 00:38:03.560
the club is
667
00:38:03.560 --> 00:38:05.440
striking the ground.
668
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:11.320
So the next piece I would do is I would give him a little less feedback.
669
00:38:11.320 --> 00:38:16.380
So what I would do with the Dr. Scholespray is not just spray the face, but
670
00:38:16.380 --> 00:38:17.320
what I would
671
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:23.100
do is I would draw, I'll do it a little bit away from the golf ball, but
672
00:38:23.100 --> 00:38:23.920
actually we'll
673
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:26.120
do it over the golf ball.
674
00:38:26.120 --> 00:38:33.450
So I would draw a box like this and then I would draw kind of lines divided
675
00:38:33.450 --> 00:38:34.760
this way.
676
00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:53.540
So I would put the golf ball in the middle of the box and I would basically,
677
00:38:53.540 --> 00:38:53.680
let's see
678
00:38:53.680 --> 00:39:02.560
if this is, tech support is letting me know that, all right, is that better?
679
00:39:02.560 --> 00:39:03.560
Hopefully.
680
00:39:03.560 --> 00:39:09.920
All right, like I said, we're working through some of these bugs.
681
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:11.240
Appreciate you guys being patient.
682
00:39:11.240 --> 00:39:17.200
So this is what I was describing, I'll redraw it, okay.
683
00:39:17.200 --> 00:39:21.240
So I've got him, let's say I've got the golf ball here.
684
00:39:21.240 --> 00:39:28.250
I would draw a box like this on the ground with the Dr. Scholespray or spray
685
00:39:28.250 --> 00:39:29.080
paint and
686
00:39:29.080 --> 00:39:34.080
I would basically put a little dividing line just like this.
687
00:39:34.080 --> 00:39:41.090
So now I would have, actually I got disoriented, I would draw it this way,
688
00:39:41.090 --> 00:39:42.920
sorry about that.
689
00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:48.830
So I would draw it this way so we could do multiple balls and then I would put
690
00:39:48.830 --> 00:39:49.400
the dividing
691
00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:51.760
lines kind of like this.
692
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:57.540
And so what I would do is I would have him set up with the golf ball in the
693
00:39:57.540 --> 00:39:58.520
middle, black's
694
00:39:58.520 --> 00:40:01.950
not going to work very well, I would set up with the golf ball in the middle of
695
00:40:01.950 --> 00:40:03.400
that box.
696
00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:06.680
And then what we would do is we would recognize where did I make contact
697
00:40:06.680 --> 00:40:08.600
compared to the ground.
698
00:40:08.600 --> 00:40:13.640
If I make contact with the divot anywhere out towards this line, then I'm in
699
00:40:13.640 --> 00:40:14.360
jeopardy
700
00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:17.080
of getting closer to a shank.
701
00:40:17.080 --> 00:40:23.330
So now the goal is to hit the inside line in the golf ball and the way we're
702
00:40:23.330 --> 00:40:24.040
going to
703
00:40:24.040 --> 00:40:28.810
do that, the two main technical things that we might go after would be the
704
00:40:28.810 --> 00:40:30.680
weight distribution.
705
00:40:30.680 --> 00:40:35.870
So you can see he gets a little bit more kind of extension towards the golf
706
00:40:35.870 --> 00:40:36.600
ball.
707
00:40:36.600 --> 00:40:40.660
And then the main one would probably be getting a feel of hitting the ball
708
00:40:40.660 --> 00:40:41.900
without that right
709
00:40:41.900 --> 00:40:46.800
arm extending out towards the golf ball quite so much.
710
00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:52.080
So that right arm has a tendency to get straight.
711
00:40:52.080 --> 00:40:56.850
And depending on his level of technical awareness, and since you guys are
712
00:40:56.850 --> 00:40:58.460
coaches, I would probably
713
00:40:58.460 --> 00:41:03.000
start to look at the path of the hands.
714
00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:08.560
So right about there is impact and you can see from there through there, that's
715
00:41:08.560 --> 00:41:10.080
not bad.
716
00:41:10.080 --> 00:41:14.920
If some golfers who shank the ball between those two frames, the handle would
717
00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:15.620
be moving
718
00:41:15.620 --> 00:41:19.220
out towards the golf ball and that would be a problem.
719
00:41:19.220 --> 00:41:23.990
For him, if we were to look from the face-on view, I imagine this right arm
720
00:41:23.990 --> 00:41:25.080
would be more
721
00:41:25.080 --> 00:41:27.680
extended behind his body.
722
00:41:27.680 --> 00:41:31.280
But the two main things I'm going after are the body shifting that way and the
723
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:31.880
right arm
724
00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:34.440
extending too soon.
725
00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:40.940
And I would use that visual feedback until he could consistently prove that he
726
00:41:40.940 --> 00:41:41.480
could
727
00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:44.800
hit the inside part of the box.
728
00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:48.500
Probably working on where the club is striking the ground.
729
00:41:48.500 --> 00:41:51.700
Okay, let me just jump back.
730
00:41:51.700 --> 00:41:53.990
I'm probably just going to stick on that, because we're going to look at the
731
00:41:53.990 --> 00:41:54.700
golfer here
732
00:41:54.700 --> 00:41:56.500
on the left.
733
00:41:56.500 --> 00:42:02.280
But let me just read, Nick is the one who sent this in, he said, "I'm seeing
734
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:02.740
this sort
735
00:42:02.740 --> 00:42:05.740
of pattern being promoted as the way to rotate."
736
00:42:05.740 --> 00:42:09.320
Here we see the instructor following the science by keeping the center mass of
737
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:10.140
the club behind
738
00:42:10.140 --> 00:42:11.340
the hands.
739
00:42:11.340 --> 00:42:15.340
And I see what I see is a golfer dropping their arms behind their body, getting
740
00:42:15.340 --> 00:42:16.200
into a seriously
741
00:42:16.200 --> 00:42:17.200
stuck position.
742
00:42:17.200 --> 00:42:19.100
There's no wipe going on.
743
00:42:19.100 --> 00:42:23.360
And I also see an underhanded swing with the right arm nearly supinating all
744
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:23.900
the way
745
00:42:23.900 --> 00:42:24.900
to impact.
746
00:42:24.900 --> 00:42:29.040
This pattern looks like it could be a shank, bring a shank into play, and I
747
00:42:29.040 --> 00:42:29.940
imagine it's
748
00:42:29.940 --> 00:42:32.540
a power rubber as well.
749
00:42:32.540 --> 00:42:33.540
Okay.
750
00:42:33.540 --> 00:42:44.030
So this is kind of the trendy exaggerated shift on top, all rotation, tons of
751
00:42:44.030 --> 00:42:45.420
ulmer.
752
00:42:45.420 --> 00:42:51.830
And I do agree the way that this is getting demonstrated creates a couple
753
00:42:51.830 --> 00:42:54.060
potential problems.
754
00:42:54.060 --> 00:43:02.760
It's very hard to get the arms that far behind your body and not run the risk
755
00:43:02.760 --> 00:43:04.140
of the hand
756
00:43:04.140 --> 00:43:09.270
path going way out unless you have a tremendous amount of rotation and possibly
757
00:43:09.270 --> 00:43:10.300
the upper body
758
00:43:10.300 --> 00:43:12.740
ahead of the lower body.
759
00:43:12.740 --> 00:43:17.900
So the place where I'd be kind of concerned would be right about here.
760
00:43:17.900 --> 00:43:24.350
If we were to see this from the face on view, this appearance to me looks like
761
00:43:24.350 --> 00:43:25.300
the upper
762
00:43:25.300 --> 00:43:30.380
body would be leaning more towards the target than the lower body.
763
00:43:30.380 --> 00:43:35.260
So the upper body would be essentially passed or his chest would be passed as
764
00:43:35.260 --> 00:43:36.460
pelvis linearly
765
00:43:36.460 --> 00:43:39.420
towards the target.
766
00:43:39.420 --> 00:43:48.280
It's gonna be really difficult not to be steep or outside from there unless you
767
00:43:48.280 --> 00:43:49.220
do essentially
768
00:43:49.220 --> 00:43:55.000
what this golfer is doing with the arms, but the problem is the body has the
769
00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:55.820
greatest influence
770
00:43:55.820 --> 00:43:58.100
on your overall path tendency.
771
00:43:58.100 --> 00:44:01.230
While you can change stuff with the arms, the overall path tendency is gonna
772
00:44:01.230 --> 00:44:01.500
come more
773
00:44:01.500 --> 00:44:02.640
from the body.
774
00:44:02.640 --> 00:44:12.250
If the body is that far forward then it's really hard not to get steep with
775
00:44:12.250 --> 00:44:14.140
your pivot.
776
00:44:14.140 --> 00:44:17.650
And when your upper body is that far forward and you're steep, the only ways
777
00:44:17.650 --> 00:44:18.360
you're gonna
778
00:44:18.360 --> 00:44:22.680
shallow it out are typically going to be scooping, flipping, or lifting the
779
00:44:22.680 --> 00:44:23.240
arms.
780
00:44:23.240 --> 00:44:29.410
So this golfer is doing a little bit more of flipping and lifting the arms
781
00:44:29.410 --> 00:44:30.440
which will
782
00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:33.920
potentially throw the hosel more into view.
783
00:44:33.920 --> 00:44:42.400
The other thing is this is very, very late as far as getting the push from the
784
00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:44.240
lower body.
785
00:44:44.240 --> 00:44:50.020
So when we were talking about power production, right around here is where that
786
00:44:50.020 --> 00:44:50.700
left leg should
787
00:44:50.700 --> 00:44:54.440
start to be going more vertical.
788
00:44:54.440 --> 00:45:00.330
That left leg creating some of the vertical action to raise that left shoulder
789
00:45:00.330 --> 00:45:01.140
and start
790
00:45:01.140 --> 00:45:05.910
going into side bend and you'll see that he's still going very rotary and he
791
00:45:05.910 --> 00:45:06.580
doesn't really
792
00:45:06.580 --> 00:45:11.780
start pushing with the legs until all the way down towards impact.
793
00:45:11.780 --> 00:45:15.680
And that's because pushing with the legs would create more of a shallowness,
794
00:45:15.680 --> 00:45:16.520
but he's already
795
00:45:16.520 --> 00:45:20.980
so shallow with his arms that he couldn't have the extra shallowness.
796
00:45:20.980 --> 00:45:24.360
He has to air on getting more steep.
797
00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:31.200
So I would be very concerned with kind of the long term ability to strike long
798
00:45:31.200 --> 00:45:31.820
irons
799
00:45:31.820 --> 00:45:37.610
with this pattern, but he might be able to get away with it with the short ir
800
00:45:37.610 --> 00:45:38.400
ons as well
801
00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:45.330
as off the tee where the low point balance of the path is not quite as critical
802
00:45:45.330 --> 00:45:45.700
.
803
00:45:45.700 --> 00:45:51.500
But yes, I don't see a ton of this coming in as an actual swing.
804
00:45:51.500 --> 00:46:00.120
This is impressive in how well they're able to actually demonstrate some of the
805
00:46:00.120 --> 00:46:00.900
trendy
806
00:46:00.900 --> 00:46:02.720
phrases that are going around.
807
00:46:02.720 --> 00:46:06.720
Like he's actually able to do some of the moves that I feel are exaggerated
808
00:46:06.720 --> 00:46:07.360
feels.
809
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:09.560
He's actually doing them in swing.
810
00:46:09.560 --> 00:46:16.400
Okay, let me jump back to the PowerPoint, but while so that you can kind of
811
00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:17.680
think through
812
00:46:17.680 --> 00:46:25.630
what we're about to look at, this is the next wing and I'll read his
813
00:46:25.630 --> 00:46:27.760
description.
814
00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:38.040
Okay, so you're getting a little snapshot of what we're going to look at.
815
00:46:38.040 --> 00:46:45.980
Okay, so description of that one.
816
00:46:45.980 --> 00:46:48.020
This is his actual swing.
817
00:46:48.020 --> 00:46:51.780
One of our coaches wanted to discuss his own move, which is fine.
818
00:46:51.780 --> 00:46:56.120
This wing is what I feel like I have to do in order to be somewhat of a good
819
00:46:56.120 --> 00:46:56.940
position.
820
00:46:56.940 --> 00:47:00.280
For me, I have to think nine to three with some speed.
821
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:05.170
If I just swing like I did prior to this program, then all sorts of issues
822
00:47:05.170 --> 00:47:05.980
emerge.
823
00:47:05.980 --> 00:47:09.040
One too much lateral shift on the downswing.
824
00:47:09.040 --> 00:47:16.130
Right arm releases club in plane, so more of a scoop, backing out of the shot
825
00:47:16.130 --> 00:47:17.600
and flipping.
826
00:47:17.600 --> 00:47:22.710
So if we're thinking through that too much lateral shift is a steepener, right
827
00:47:22.710 --> 00:47:23.880
arm releases,
828
00:47:23.880 --> 00:47:27.200
backing out of the shot, flipping are all shallowers.
829
00:47:27.200 --> 00:47:33.720
So basically what he's describing is when he does a full swing from there, the
830
00:47:33.720 --> 00:47:34.320
power
831
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:39.480
source tends to be more of an upper body lunge.
832
00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:45.000
Now this is where the rope stuff might come in handy because the upper body lun
833
00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:46.200
ge is a
834
00:47:46.200 --> 00:47:51.980
steepening movement from the body compared to say a steepening movement from
835
00:47:51.980 --> 00:47:52.760
the arms.
836
00:47:52.760 --> 00:48:01.560
We can see from here that the upper body compared to the door there is drifting
837
00:48:01.560 --> 00:48:02.560
a bit more
838
00:48:02.560 --> 00:48:05.800
forward or away from the camera.
839
00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:14.280
So that upper body drifting towards that target is helping pull the arms more
840
00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:15.280
down.
841
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:20.280
By pulling the arms more down, that's created two problems.
842
00:48:20.280 --> 00:48:25.290
One it's created the steepening path and two sequencing wise, the muscles that
843
00:48:25.290 --> 00:48:25.880
pull your
844
00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:30.560
arms down also stop your body from rotating.
845
00:48:30.560 --> 00:48:35.440
So it forces those arms to want to go a little bit earlier.
846
00:48:35.440 --> 00:48:39.410
Now the reason that he feels the benefit from the nine to three is if you start
847
00:48:39.410 --> 00:48:40.080
the swing
848
00:48:40.080 --> 00:48:46.440
from here, you're typically not going to push the club down.
849
00:48:46.440 --> 00:48:50.260
If you start the swing from here, you're typically going to pull in the
850
00:48:50.260 --> 00:48:51.480
direction the club is
851
00:48:51.480 --> 00:48:56.250
pointing so you're going to get better body contribution and more speed towards
852
00:48:56.250 --> 00:48:56.920
the target
853
00:48:56.920 --> 00:48:59.560
instead of towards the golf ball.
854
00:48:59.560 --> 00:49:06.280
So it looks like he does a decent job of controlling the club face.
855
00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:09.480
It's possible that's something he'll have to mess around with, but it looks
856
00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:10.000
like that's
857
00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:17.900
more of a sequencing and low point control issue to work through rather than
858
00:49:17.900 --> 00:49:18.760
the club
859
00:49:18.760 --> 00:49:19.760
face.
860
00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:23.950
A club face is always related, but it looks at least, I can't really see the
861
00:49:23.950 --> 00:49:24.840
club face,
862
00:49:24.840 --> 00:49:31.080
but it appears that the wrists are in a little bit more of a on-top or rotated
863
00:49:31.080 --> 00:49:32.280
position.
864
00:49:32.280 --> 00:49:38.380
So I think that the scoop can either be shallowing the club late or it can be
865
00:49:38.380 --> 00:49:39.440
closing the club
866
00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:40.440
face late.
867
00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:45.270
And it appears that he's kind of doing it more for the shallowness and the path
868
00:49:45.270 --> 00:49:45.880
because
869
00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:50.650
it looks like the club is just working to get down towards the ground as
870
00:49:50.650 --> 00:49:51.440
opposed to
871
00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:55.440
see more of a club face squaring.
872
00:49:55.440 --> 00:49:59.040
Okay, so let me jump back.
873
00:49:59.040 --> 00:50:11.440
All right, so now those were the three swings sent in.
874
00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:17.640
So now, let me jump back to the PowerPoint real quick to go over one.
875
00:50:17.640 --> 00:50:25.960
I had a question about some of the wrist stuff in my presentation and I'm going
876
00:50:25.960 --> 00:50:27.000
to go into
877
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:32.130
a little bit more in depth on that and then we'll go over just the discussion
878
00:50:32.130 --> 00:50:35.000
style questions.
879
00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:46.440
Okay, so with the wrist, I'll just do kind of the overview here.
880
00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:49.240
So when we're looking at the wrist and the forearms, for the forearms, there
881
00:50:49.240 --> 00:50:49.480
are two
882
00:50:49.480 --> 00:50:50.480
main bones.
883
00:50:50.480 --> 00:50:54.820
You've got your radius on the thumb side, which is the thicker bone here,
884
00:50:54.820 --> 00:50:55.760
thinner bone
885
00:50:55.760 --> 00:50:56.760
here.
886
00:50:56.760 --> 00:51:01.530
And then you've got the ulna on the pinky side, which is more, which is the
887
00:51:01.530 --> 00:51:02.280
thin bone
888
00:51:02.280 --> 00:51:05.720
down of the wrist and the thick bone up at the elbow.
889
00:51:05.720 --> 00:51:10.880
So they kind of have this almost like pincher look to them.
890
00:51:10.880 --> 00:51:16.670
And the wrist or the hand is actually eight bones, and that's going to be
891
00:51:16.670 --> 00:51:17.440
important when
892
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:21.160
we look at these combined movements.
893
00:51:21.160 --> 00:51:26.940
Because the natural, when you're talking simplistically, we break it up into
894
00:51:26.940 --> 00:51:27.400
flexion
895
00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:31.680
extension on a radial deviation, pronation, supination.
896
00:51:31.680 --> 00:51:36.040
But physiologically, let me jump that.
897
00:51:36.040 --> 00:51:42.560
So physiologically, the joint tends to move in more of a combined movement.
898
00:51:42.560 --> 00:51:49.400
And the reason is if you look at these eight bones of the wrist, there's four
899
00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:50.160
bones on
900
00:51:50.160 --> 00:51:52.680
the inside and four bones on the outside.
901
00:51:52.680 --> 00:52:00.680
And they kind of create a gliding kind of sub joint there.
902
00:52:00.680 --> 00:52:06.040
They act as one unit, but they behave like two different independent rows.
903
00:52:06.040 --> 00:52:10.440
So let me, I think we're getting better at being able to stop and share.
904
00:52:10.440 --> 00:52:16.540
So the two joints kind of sit on top of each other right here, kind of on top
905
00:52:16.540 --> 00:52:17.240
like this.
906
00:52:17.240 --> 00:52:22.360
And they have some sliding this way, they have some rotation this way.
907
00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:29.310
So what ends up happening is, for example, when you go to extend your wrist
908
00:52:29.310 --> 00:52:30.280
like this,
909
00:52:30.280 --> 00:52:33.800
you have two different rows, think of it as like a joint of three.
910
00:52:33.800 --> 00:52:37.320
So it's here, this is the first row, this is the second row.
911
00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:41.310
When you go into extension, more of the more of the extension is happening from
912
00:52:41.310 --> 00:52:41.920
the distal
913
00:52:41.920 --> 00:52:42.920
row.
914
00:52:42.920 --> 00:52:48.040
And when you go into flexion, more of it is happening from the proximal row.
915
00:52:48.040 --> 00:52:54.480
Now those two rows aren't 100% parallel, they're on a little bit of an oblique
916
00:52:54.480 --> 00:52:55.480
axis.
917
00:52:55.480 --> 00:53:04.160
And what we'll see when we jump back to that slide there is you'll see that on
918
00:53:04.160 --> 00:53:05.360
the thumb
919
00:53:05.360 --> 00:53:10.340
side, there's more of the bones towards the thumb side of the wrist than
920
00:53:10.340 --> 00:53:11.600
towards the pinky
921
00:53:11.600 --> 00:53:12.600
side.
922
00:53:12.600 --> 00:53:16.590
So the muscle attachments that tend to pull you into extension with a
923
00:53:16.590 --> 00:53:18.400
combination of how
924
00:53:18.400 --> 00:53:26.300
the wrist joint is a little bit higher above than it is below, that blocks the
925
00:53:26.300 --> 00:53:26.640
first row
926
00:53:26.640 --> 00:53:28.240
from going into extension.
927
00:53:28.240 --> 00:53:31.400
So most of the extension happens here, all the attachments or more of the
928
00:53:31.400 --> 00:53:31.880
attachments
929
00:53:31.880 --> 00:53:32.880
are on the thumb side.
930
00:53:32.880 --> 00:53:37.770
So when you go into extension, it pulls the thumb up towards the elbow, which
931
00:53:37.770 --> 00:53:38.280
is that
932
00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:45.400
combination of extension with radial deviation.
933
00:53:45.400 --> 00:53:49.320
And then the opposite, you can see there's a little bit more space there.
934
00:53:49.320 --> 00:53:54.200
When you pull that down, it's going to tend to move on that axis, which is
935
00:53:54.200 --> 00:53:55.120
going to pull
936
00:53:55.120 --> 00:53:58.560
it into ulnar deviation, I'll demonstrate that again.
937
00:53:58.560 --> 00:54:03.280
But here's a quick little visual of what's going on.
938
00:54:03.280 --> 00:54:08.830
These eight bones, one book I read described it as like a bunch of walnuts in a
939
00:54:08.830 --> 00:54:09.240
bag, but
940
00:54:09.240 --> 00:54:11.560
they're perfectly fitting together.
941
00:54:11.560 --> 00:54:15.960
And they act almost like little gears, creating different tensions.
942
00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:20.800
And when you go to extend the wrist, the bones shift a little bit this way.
943
00:54:20.800 --> 00:54:24.280
So this is radial deviation or a reduction.
944
00:54:24.280 --> 00:54:30.760
And then when you go to ulnar deviate or adduct, it goes more this way.
945
00:54:30.760 --> 00:54:35.320
So you can see here's kind of the sticking point and bone wise.
946
00:54:35.320 --> 00:54:38.790
When you go into radial deviation, here's the sticking point and bone wise when
947
00:54:38.790 --> 00:54:39.160
it goes
948
00:54:39.160 --> 00:54:40.920
into ulnar deviation.
949
00:54:40.920 --> 00:54:44.740
You've got more space when it goes into ulnar deviation, which is why you have
950
00:54:44.740 --> 00:54:45.280
more range
951
00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:46.520
of motion there.
952
00:54:46.520 --> 00:54:51.590
And the attachments that take it into extension or radial deviation tend to
953
00:54:51.590 --> 00:54:52.800
connect on these
954
00:54:52.800 --> 00:54:57.070
bones that are more up towards the thumb side, which helps make those two
955
00:54:57.070 --> 00:54:58.160
movements happen
956
00:54:58.160 --> 00:55:01.960
together.
957
00:55:01.960 --> 00:55:06.730
So if you're looking at the wrist, you'll stand it up here, instead of thinking
958
00:55:06.730 --> 00:55:07.040
that
959
00:55:07.040 --> 00:55:11.960
it does this, this, this, this, it really does that, that.
960
00:55:11.960 --> 00:55:16.120
So the natural line of action is more of an oblique movement.
961
00:55:16.120 --> 00:55:21.090
It's not really like you can do these movements, but the natural physiology, if
962
00:55:21.090 --> 00:55:22.680
you were to
963
00:55:22.680 --> 00:55:27.450
maximize how your muscles and the joints move together, it would be this way
964
00:55:27.450 --> 00:55:27.840
and it would
965
00:55:27.840 --> 00:55:30.480
be that way, those two going hand in hand.
966
00:55:30.480 --> 00:55:35.440
So in general, that right wrist is going to get into this loaded position.
967
00:55:35.440 --> 00:55:40.210
And then it starts to come through impact, but it's not fully there, it impacts
968
00:55:40.210 --> 00:55:40.480
.
969
00:55:40.480 --> 00:55:46.540
In fact, it approximates the, it's, it's close to one of the positions that has
970
00:55:46.540 --> 00:55:48.520
the greatest
971
00:55:48.520 --> 00:55:54.300
freedom of movement, which is when you have about 15 degrees of ulnar deviation
972
00:55:54.300 --> 00:55:54.640
and a
973
00:55:54.640 --> 00:55:56.920
fair amount of extension.
974
00:55:56.920 --> 00:56:02.160
This is where kind of we write, we eat like in this position is where we have
975
00:56:02.160 --> 00:56:02.800
some of the
976
00:56:02.800 --> 00:56:08.580
highest precision that's pretty close to that right arm flying wedge type field
977
00:56:08.580 --> 00:56:09.480
training.
978
00:56:09.480 --> 00:56:12.920
The left arm works more this way.
979
00:56:12.920 --> 00:56:16.480
So it's the combination of ulnar deviation and flexion.
980
00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:19.200
And then the weight of the club pulls it more towards the extension.
981
00:56:19.200 --> 00:56:25.040
But the movements it's doing is more of that, um, unhinged and flexing.
982
00:56:25.040 --> 00:56:29.040
All right, it's been a little while.
983
00:56:29.040 --> 00:56:35.880
So let me just check and see what kind of questions we've been having in other
984
00:56:35.880 --> 00:56:36.280
than
985
00:56:36.280 --> 00:56:37.280
holy cow.
986
00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:42.880
Look at all these technical issues, black screen and stuff like that.
987
00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:50.930
Um, perfect, could you apply, uh, could that apply to the club as well,
988
00:56:50.930 --> 00:56:52.600
flexible shafts
989
00:56:52.600 --> 00:56:58.080
makes it easier to shallow, uh, you know, I haven't played around with that.
990
00:56:58.080 --> 00:57:06.800
Um, that might be something I'm thinking through, um, you might be a little bit
991
00:57:06.800 --> 00:57:07.840
more limited
992
00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:13.120
in terms of how well that would work actually hitting a golf ball.
993
00:57:13.120 --> 00:57:19.960
So I do believe that getting, um, too many or sorry, the more flexible shaft
994
00:57:19.960 --> 00:57:20.940
would allow
995
00:57:20.940 --> 00:57:26.720
it to shallow, shallow opens up the face and the more bending of the shaft, the
996
00:57:26.720 --> 00:57:27.080
harder
997
00:57:27.080 --> 00:57:29.000
it is to motorcycle.
998
00:57:29.000 --> 00:57:36.080
Um, so there is a, I think you'd get to a, um, kind of cost benefit analysis
999
00:57:36.080 --> 00:57:36.800
where two
1000
00:57:36.800 --> 00:57:40.600
flexible shaft might make it easier to shallow, but harder to square the face.
1001
00:57:40.600 --> 00:57:44.200
Um, but that's something worth maybe messing around with.
1002
00:57:44.200 --> 00:57:52.140
Um, I know that, uh, TBT is able to do more flexible shafts and better control
1003
00:57:52.140 --> 00:57:52.840
of the
1004
00:57:52.840 --> 00:57:58.630
torque, um, and most of the people gutting fit through TBT tend to do better
1005
00:57:58.630 --> 00:57:59.400
with a more
1006
00:57:59.400 --> 00:58:00.400
flexible shaft.
1007
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:05.720
That could be potentially why, um, yes.
1008
00:58:05.720 --> 00:58:06.720
All right.
1009
00:58:06.720 --> 00:58:07.720
Perfect.
1010
00:58:07.720 --> 00:58:12.280
So now let me jump back because that would look like the only question.
1011
00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:16.120
So let me jump back to the questions that came in beforehand.
1012
00:58:16.120 --> 00:58:20.130
Now my goal with these, uh, kind of coaches calls is, uh, I had a bunch of the
1013
00:58:20.130 --> 00:58:20.840
questions
1014
00:58:20.840 --> 00:58:23.520
come in and kind of in the last 24 hours.
1015
00:58:23.520 --> 00:58:27.790
Um, if, if I do a better job of asking for the questions early and if we get
1016
00:58:27.790 --> 00:58:28.480
them early
1017
00:58:28.480 --> 00:58:32.530
enough, I'll be able to, you know, pull up examples or pictures to help make it
1018
00:58:32.530 --> 00:58:33.000
easier
1019
00:58:33.000 --> 00:58:38.200
instead of me just kind of walking through and demonstrating, but, um, I'll do
1020
00:58:38.200 --> 00:58:38.800
my, my
1021
00:58:38.800 --> 00:58:39.800
best.
1022
00:58:39.800 --> 00:58:43.630
And if you find that something I discuss, you want to go in a little bit more
1023
00:58:43.630 --> 00:58:44.080
depth,
1024
00:58:44.080 --> 00:58:48.380
like a little PowerPoint or something, um, you can let me know afterwards as
1025
00:58:48.380 --> 00:58:48.880
well as
1026
00:58:48.880 --> 00:58:50.880
part of the feedback for this.
1027
00:58:50.880 --> 00:58:51.880
Okay.
1028
00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:56.650
Uh, so had a couple of questions from Robbie, um, as far as junior golf
1029
00:58:56.650 --> 00:58:58.160
development goes,
1030
00:58:58.160 --> 00:59:02.920
when would you attack someone who has excessive jump side bend pattern?
1031
00:59:02.920 --> 00:59:07.470
Um, basically, okay, so they get all their power from their legs and, and, you
1032
00:59:07.470 --> 00:59:07.840
know,
1033
00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:12.080
this would have been a great one to see exactly where it's coming from.
1034
00:59:12.080 --> 00:59:18.240
Um, but when would you address too much of the vertical jump?
1035
00:59:18.240 --> 00:59:24.360
So even, even with kids, I like to layer, like, okay, there's three skills to
1036
00:59:24.360 --> 00:59:25.060
playing
1037
00:59:25.060 --> 00:59:26.060
golf.
1038
00:59:26.060 --> 00:59:29.160
You got to control the path, which is low point and swing direction.
1039
00:59:29.160 --> 00:59:33.000
You got to control the face to path, um, which is how much it's going to curve
1040
00:59:33.000 --> 00:59:33.460
and where
1041
00:59:33.460 --> 00:59:34.560
it's going to start.
1042
00:59:34.560 --> 00:59:40.000
And then you've got to control the sequencing or how you create power.
1043
00:59:40.000 --> 00:59:44.250
What I would imagine is if they have too much jump side bend, then they're
1044
00:59:44.250 --> 00:59:45.000
probably going
1045
00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:48.360
to have trouble with either the face to path or the path.
1046
00:59:48.360 --> 00:59:53.130
And so I would use making them struggle with one of the other skills as the
1047
00:59:53.130 --> 00:59:53.920
gateway to opening
1048
00:59:53.920 --> 00:59:57.200
them up to working on, uh, technique.
1049
00:59:57.200 --> 01:00:03.420
Um, but if they're having, so I wouldn't necessarily just change a jump side
1050
01:00:03.420 --> 01:00:04.800
bend pattern just
1051
01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:09.040
for the sake of changing it, I would change it because they're having trouble.
1052
01:00:09.040 --> 01:00:12.530
The club face is closing too fast because of the way they're pulling away, um,
1053
01:00:12.530 --> 01:00:13.120
or they're
1054
01:00:13.120 --> 01:00:16.600
having a, having trouble getting low point far enough forward.
1055
01:00:16.600 --> 01:00:20.810
Those will be the two main things that I would worry about with having too much
1056
01:00:20.810 --> 01:00:21.960
of a jump
1057
01:00:21.960 --> 01:00:23.440
side bend pattern.
1058
01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:30.300
Um, but I would say that that's going to be a lot easier when you, uh, when you
1059
01:00:30.300 --> 01:00:31.200
get into
1060
01:00:31.200 --> 01:00:37.090
let's say, you know, more in the 15 years old, 14, 15 year old range, um, than
1061
01:00:37.090 --> 01:00:37.880
if they're
1062
01:00:37.880 --> 01:00:44.900
really jumping a lot as a 10 to 12 year old, um, just cause as the core, as
1063
01:00:44.900 --> 01:00:46.360
they go through
1064
01:00:46.360 --> 01:00:50.140
their growth, typically the legs get stronger than the core and it's not until
1065
01:00:50.140 --> 01:00:50.560
a little
1066
01:00:50.560 --> 01:00:53.000
bit later that the core catches up.
1067
01:00:53.000 --> 01:00:59.790
But things like the, the rope and doing, uh, core activity, um, you know, like
1068
01:00:59.790 --> 01:01:00.320
I, I would
1069
01:01:00.320 --> 01:01:05.170
definitely get them doing some medicine ball stuff, more, maybe some upper body
1070
01:01:05.170 --> 01:01:06.040
core rotation
1071
01:01:06.040 --> 01:01:11.430
stuff, um, earlier on, uh, to see if it's more of a pattern or if it's more of
1072
01:01:11.430 --> 01:01:12.400
a, you
1073
01:01:12.400 --> 01:01:17.180
know, just ingrained imbalance, um, because it's very easy for kids to get too
1074
01:01:17.180 --> 01:01:17.880
lower body
1075
01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:20.320
dominant as far as power goes.
1076
01:01:20.320 --> 01:01:25.340
Uh, his second question, um, the trail hands thing on the ground in follow
1077
01:01:25.340 --> 01:01:26.240
through.
1078
01:01:26.240 --> 01:01:30.680
How does that affect, um, first of all, do you like training that?
1079
01:01:30.680 --> 01:01:33.920
How would that likely affect the path face?
1080
01:01:33.920 --> 01:01:40.760
Um, so my main issue with trying to keep that trail foot on the ground, it, it
1081
01:01:40.760 --> 01:01:41.320
helps the
1082
01:01:41.320 --> 01:01:45.440
foot learn how to kind of bank and push against the ground properly.
1083
01:01:45.440 --> 01:01:53.270
Um, but it is very hard for most golfers to get to a full finish, um, unless
1084
01:01:53.270 --> 01:01:53.920
they have
1085
01:01:53.920 --> 01:01:58.800
a very high amount of external rotation of the trail hip.
1086
01:01:58.800 --> 01:02:07.890
So if I'm, if that foot stays planted on the ground, then basically doing this
1087
01:02:07.890 --> 01:02:08.980
with the
1088
01:02:08.980 --> 01:02:13.560
trail hip is the only way I can get my belt buckle to face towards the target.
1089
01:02:13.560 --> 01:02:18.490
So now I'm, I'm on the very inside of my foot and that's about as far as I can
1090
01:02:18.490 --> 01:02:19.040
get with
1091
01:02:19.040 --> 01:02:20.040
the hip.
1092
01:02:20.040 --> 01:02:24.880
The only way I'm going to get to a full finish is if my foot comes up a little
1093
01:02:24.880 --> 01:02:25.480
bit.
1094
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:30.280
So you do have to be careful with golfers who have tight external hip rotation,
1095
01:02:30.280 --> 01:02:31.480
uh, for,
1096
01:02:31.480 --> 01:02:36.250
for certain if you give them that drill, um, typically what will happen is
1097
01:02:36.250 --> 01:02:37.080
because the
1098
01:02:37.080 --> 01:02:41.850
hip will get stuck, they'll start to extend a little bit, which will cause the,
1099
01:02:41.850 --> 01:02:42.240
them to
1100
01:02:42.240 --> 01:02:45.640
close the club face and typically swing the path a little bit to the left.
1101
01:02:45.640 --> 01:02:50.650
Um, so if it's a trail hip restriction, they'll probably err on getting more of
1102
01:02:50.650 --> 01:02:51.400
like a pull
1103
01:02:51.400 --> 01:02:57.180
hook, um, probably hitting some, some steeper fat shots as well, um, because
1104
01:02:57.180 --> 01:02:58.200
the upper body
1105
01:02:58.200 --> 01:03:07.120
may shift forward to take some of the pressure off of the, off of the, um, hip.
1106
01:03:07.120 --> 01:03:08.120
All right.
1107
01:03:08.120 --> 01:03:11.600
I've got a couple of questions coming in.
1108
01:03:11.600 --> 01:03:15.840
Also hard to see from behind, but there does not appear to be right lateral.
1109
01:03:15.840 --> 01:03:18.600
Oh, that was back with the, uh, Jim Fert person.
1110
01:03:18.600 --> 01:03:19.600
Yes.
1111
01:03:19.600 --> 01:03:20.600
I completely agree.
1112
01:03:20.600 --> 01:03:25.960
Um, question as far as, could you attach a rope to the end of the orange whip?
1113
01:03:25.960 --> 01:03:26.960
That's interesting.
1114
01:03:26.960 --> 01:03:32.520
I haven't, um, I've got some, some old rope that I might play around with.
1115
01:03:32.520 --> 01:03:38.650
I'm not sure what, uh, yeah, I think, I think that could potentially work like
1116
01:03:38.650 --> 01:03:39.640
even better
1117
01:03:39.640 --> 01:03:41.160
than the shallow stick.
1118
01:03:41.160 --> 01:03:44.480
Um, yeah, I'll have to, I'll have to mess around with that.
1119
01:03:44.480 --> 01:03:46.520
Good, good idea there, Chris.
1120
01:03:46.520 --> 01:03:50.160
Um, all right, back to some of these questions.
1121
01:03:50.160 --> 01:03:57.480
Uh, Tim was asking about speed for, for ages three to four, four, five to six.
1122
01:03:57.480 --> 01:04:02.380
Um, basically there's a, you know, he's seen some of the, uh, pressure board,
1123
01:04:02.380 --> 01:04:03.200
seen, seen
1124
01:04:03.200 --> 01:04:08.250
the Mike ropes, uh, kids love the ropes, um, and so do some of my, uh, older
1125
01:04:08.250 --> 01:04:09.240
golfers.
1126
01:04:09.240 --> 01:04:14.360
So you saw I had some of the older and female, you know, older females using
1127
01:04:14.360 --> 01:04:15.560
the rope stuff.
1128
01:04:15.560 --> 01:04:17.160
They think that's a lot of fun.
1129
01:04:17.160 --> 01:04:25.660
Um, so the, the kids, um, have liked it as well, especially if I do stuff with
1130
01:04:25.660 --> 01:04:26.560
them and
1131
01:04:26.560 --> 01:04:30.160
give them little targets to try to snap the rope at.
1132
01:04:30.160 --> 01:04:33.180
Um, everybody likes to hit stuff with the rope.
1133
01:04:33.180 --> 01:04:38.160
And I think it's really good for, for developing that, that late sequencing.
1134
01:04:38.160 --> 01:04:43.600
Um, I also love for kids doing, um, sprinting and jumping.
1135
01:04:43.600 --> 01:04:51.500
Um, and the, the jet stick, the speed chain, um, works pretty well for them as
1136
01:04:51.500 --> 01:04:52.000
well.
1137
01:04:52.000 --> 01:04:58.040
Uh, I don't differentiate a huge, for me, three to four and five to six kind of
1138
01:04:58.040 --> 01:04:58.360
fit in
1139
01:04:58.360 --> 01:04:59.360
the same category.
1140
01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:04.220
Um, but I don't, I don't do a ton of juniors under the age of about, I'd say,
1141
01:05:04.220 --> 01:05:05.760
13, 14.
1142
01:05:05.760 --> 01:05:11.540
Um, but when I do in my mind, I'm kind of breaking it up with, uh, like, I've
1143
01:05:11.540 --> 01:05:12.360
got, um,
1144
01:05:12.360 --> 01:05:17.130
two kids who were like seven, eight years old, um, they're a lot more, you know
1145
01:05:17.130 --> 01:05:17.560
, keep
1146
01:05:17.560 --> 01:05:23.160
everything simple, um, and air more on kind of the big gross patterns.
1147
01:05:23.160 --> 01:05:26.690
Once you get to about that 12 year old range, I think you can start getting
1148
01:05:26.690 --> 01:05:27.400
into a little
1149
01:05:27.400 --> 01:05:34.320
bit more of the fine tuning details, uh, question on 4D motion.
1150
01:05:34.320 --> 01:05:36.240
How should I use it with my students?
1151
01:05:36.240 --> 01:05:43.070
Um, I, the, the best thing I, I like 4D motion for, um, and to be, to be fair,
1152
01:05:43.070 --> 01:05:44.160
I've just kind
1153
01:05:44.160 --> 01:05:46.440
of got mine up and messing around with it.
1154
01:05:46.440 --> 01:05:51.290
Um, but the, the simplest thing is where you put it in just the live biofeed
1155
01:05:51.290 --> 01:05:52.200
back mode,
1156
01:05:52.200 --> 01:05:59.060
um, and use one or two sensors, just to train a specific, like small movement
1157
01:05:59.060 --> 01:05:59.960
in space,
1158
01:05:59.960 --> 01:06:04.190
do 10 to 15 reps or so, um, and then take it off and try to duplicate with a
1159
01:06:04.190 --> 01:06:04.760
club.
1160
01:06:04.760 --> 01:06:08.760
So have them do it with the feedback, get video of what it looks like, usually
1161
01:06:08.760 --> 01:06:09.080
just
1162
01:06:09.080 --> 01:06:15.920
on my phone, and then try to duplicate it with the club, um, and kind of go off
1163
01:06:15.920 --> 01:06:16.280
the
1164
01:06:16.280 --> 01:06:17.280
comparison there.
1165
01:06:17.280 --> 01:06:21.100
So not just using biofeedback, but biofeedback as well as visual, I think can
1166
01:06:21.100 --> 01:06:22.040
be very helpful.
1167
01:06:22.040 --> 01:06:30.080
Um, I like it a lot for, um, tilt, um, it's okay for the, for the wrist.
1168
01:06:30.080 --> 01:06:32.520
I've got to play around with it a little bit more there.
1169
01:06:32.520 --> 01:06:36.720
Um, I'll keep you, I'll keep you posted as I play around with the 4D motion
1170
01:06:36.720 --> 01:06:37.280
more.
1171
01:06:37.280 --> 01:06:42.050
Um, that might be one of the things that I can do in an upcoming webinar would
1172
01:06:42.050 --> 01:06:42.680
be more
1173
01:06:42.680 --> 01:06:49.620
like, uh, whether it's 4D or KVEST or, or it's, um, hack motion or some of
1174
01:06:49.620 --> 01:06:50.640
those simpler
1175
01:06:50.640 --> 01:06:53.360
3D systems, what do you have to watch out for?
1176
01:06:53.360 --> 01:06:57.320
Um, the one thing, since I brought that up, the one thing I'd be here, uh, I
1177
01:06:57.320 --> 01:06:58.000
got to mess
1178
01:06:58.000 --> 01:07:02.850
around with a hack motion, and, uh, one of the things we found was if you took
1179
01:07:02.850 --> 01:07:03.800
the clip
1180
01:07:03.800 --> 01:07:09.560
and you attached it to the glove, like they recommend, um, we had, I think 13
1181
01:07:09.560 --> 01:07:10.320
or 14 degrees
1182
01:07:10.320 --> 01:07:11.760
of extension.
1183
01:07:11.760 --> 01:07:16.720
Just because I had my 3D system there, we took off the, the clip and taped it
1184
01:07:16.720 --> 01:07:17.200
to the
1185
01:07:17.200 --> 01:07:18.440
back of the hand.
1186
01:07:18.440 --> 01:07:23.210
The same swinger, so the same person swinging the club had one degree of
1187
01:07:23.210 --> 01:07:24.000
extension.
1188
01:07:24.000 --> 01:07:29.440
So there's a potential that the weight, like the, the club getting pulled off
1189
01:07:29.440 --> 01:07:30.120
of the, the
1190
01:07:30.120 --> 01:07:34.890
glove, because it's just not quite as tight as being taped to the skin, is over
1191
01:07:34.890 --> 01:07:35.360
reading
1192
01:07:35.360 --> 01:07:38.320
some of the extension down at impact.
1193
01:07:38.320 --> 01:07:40.720
So just got to be careful with that.
1194
01:07:40.720 --> 01:07:46.600
It could also be, um, over reading some of the owner deviation.
1195
01:07:46.600 --> 01:07:53.610
Is there any question came in, um, is there any downside to training
1196
01:07:53.610 --> 01:07:56.200
exaggerated hand separation
1197
01:07:56.200 --> 01:07:58.440
using the axe handle?
1198
01:07:58.440 --> 01:08:01.000
Um, I don't think so.
1199
01:08:01.000 --> 01:08:07.880
I, I, I use like a split grip drill for a lot of anti flip style stuff, um, and
1200
01:08:07.880 --> 01:08:08.440
I haven't
1201
01:08:08.440 --> 01:08:13.210
had, you know, with, with proper dosing, I, I don't think it can cause any real
1202
01:08:13.210 --> 01:08:13.960
problems.
1203
01:08:13.960 --> 01:08:16.560
Did you send a copy of the PowerPoint to us?
1204
01:08:16.560 --> 01:08:17.560
Uh, sure.
1205
01:08:17.560 --> 01:08:24.540
Um, you're going to have access the, um, you're going to have this video to be
1206
01:08:24.540 --> 01:08:25.880
able to watch
1207
01:08:25.880 --> 01:08:30.650
again because the, you know, if I send the, the PDF of the PowerPoint, the
1208
01:08:30.650 --> 01:08:31.280
videos won't
1209
01:08:31.280 --> 01:08:32.280
play.
1210
01:08:32.280 --> 01:08:36.100
Um, and most of the PowerPoint was videos, but let me know if there's something
1211
01:08:36.100 --> 01:08:36.680
specific
1212
01:08:36.680 --> 01:08:41.000
in there that you want to see and perhaps I can do that.
1213
01:08:41.000 --> 01:08:45.680
Uh, Chris was asking, what produces the most speed with the arms?
1214
01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:48.600
Is it supination, extension of the arms, releasing radial?
1215
01:08:48.600 --> 01:08:53.740
Um, and there's a, there are a couple of questions that kind of came in as far
1216
01:08:53.740 --> 01:08:56.400
as, um,
1217
01:08:56.400 --> 01:09:00.280
where was the other question?
1218
01:09:00.280 --> 01:09:05.830
So as far as like, if you look at Dr. Juan, Sasha McKenzie stuff, they talk
1219
01:09:05.830 --> 01:09:06.240
about creating
1220
01:09:06.240 --> 01:09:08.960
all that maximum force early.
1221
01:09:08.960 --> 01:09:14.780
And then if you, you know, look at, or you listen to, you know, Joe Mayo, Jeff
1222
01:09:14.780 --> 01:09:15.600
Smith,
1223
01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:19.240
or Mike Romontowski, it's speed late going through.
1224
01:09:19.240 --> 01:09:21.400
Um, how does that all work?
1225
01:09:21.400 --> 01:09:28.520
Um, so the, the force is created early primarily from the body movement.
1226
01:09:28.520 --> 01:09:33.290
If you get too active with the arms early, it will limit how much you can
1227
01:09:33.290 --> 01:09:34.520
typically, uh,
1228
01:09:34.520 --> 01:09:38.640
get the vertical force in that left foot, which is usually what, um, the, the
1229
01:09:38.640 --> 01:09:38.940
ground
1230
01:09:38.940 --> 01:09:45.780
force guys are looking at, um, and the maximum linear speed, which is just a,
1231
01:09:45.780 --> 01:09:46.600
which will
1232
01:09:46.600 --> 01:09:55.440
be after when you created the maximum force is somewhere up around here.
1233
01:09:55.440 --> 01:09:59.630
The right around there is when the handle is moving its fastest, whoops, in a
1234
01:09:59.630 --> 01:10:00.120
linear
1235
01:10:00.120 --> 01:10:05.900
fashion, and then from there, the real magic is taking all that linear speed
1236
01:10:05.900 --> 01:10:06.800
and converting
1237
01:10:06.800 --> 01:10:09.280
it into angular speed.
1238
01:10:09.280 --> 01:10:14.170
And that's the, the interesting thing why I went that way with this question is
1239
01:10:14.170 --> 01:10:14.840
amateurs
1240
01:10:14.840 --> 01:10:21.680
and pros don't have that great of a difference between their linear speed of
1241
01:10:21.680 --> 01:10:22.680
the handle,
1242
01:10:22.680 --> 01:10:26.400
but they have a tremendous difference between the angular speed.
1243
01:10:26.400 --> 01:10:31.390
So basically better golfers are able to take the speed that they create and
1244
01:10:31.390 --> 01:10:32.280
transfer it
1245
01:10:32.280 --> 01:10:38.060
into rotational speed, and that primarily comes from more of the supination, um
1246
01:10:38.060 --> 01:10:38.600
, with
1247
01:10:38.600 --> 01:10:43.370
a little bit of the releasing the radial, um, flexion extension doesn't have a
1248
01:10:43.370 --> 01:10:43.760
whole
1249
01:10:43.760 --> 01:10:44.760
lot.
1250
01:10:44.760 --> 01:10:50.900
Um, the, the trail arm extension, uh, has some that is probably about a half to
1251
01:10:50.900 --> 01:10:51.560
a third
1252
01:10:51.560 --> 01:10:56.330
of that of the supination, the supination speeds, um, are typically going to be
1253
01:10:56.330 --> 01:10:56.640
quite
1254
01:10:56.640 --> 01:10:57.640
high.
1255
01:10:57.640 --> 01:11:03.320
Um, so if I had to pick one, one arm movement that was producing the most speed
1256
01:11:03.320 --> 01:11:03.440
, it would
1257
01:11:03.440 --> 01:11:05.440
probably be that.
1258
01:11:05.440 --> 01:11:11.960
Um, is there any downside to training exaggerated handset right now?
1259
01:11:11.960 --> 01:11:14.720
Oh, no, I already answered that one.
1260
01:11:14.720 --> 01:11:21.480
All right, let me go through got a few other emails.
1261
01:11:21.480 --> 01:11:25.680
Um, all right, so we talked a little bit.
1262
01:11:25.680 --> 01:11:31.760
So if the arms are soft in transition, the body is typically creating more of
1263
01:11:31.760 --> 01:11:33.160
the speed.
1264
01:11:33.160 --> 01:11:37.930
So that's why these two things aren't necessarily like mutually exclusive,
1265
01:11:37.930 --> 01:11:38.800
creating a lot of
1266
01:11:38.800 --> 01:11:43.570
force early typically feels slower with the arms and the hands and then
1267
01:11:43.570 --> 01:11:44.760
transferring all
1268
01:11:44.760 --> 01:11:47.080
that speed late typically feels very faster.
1269
01:11:47.080 --> 01:11:51.850
So a lot of golfers will produce better kinematics sequence force patterns by
1270
01:11:51.850 --> 01:11:52.440
feeling like they're
1271
01:11:52.440 --> 01:11:57.520
speeding up late, not by doing exactly what the science says and going early,
1272
01:11:57.520 --> 01:11:59.440
um, linear
1273
01:11:59.440 --> 01:12:01.320
versus nonlinear foot traces.
1274
01:12:01.320 --> 01:12:05.480
So you can have the foot trace going towards the target or going into the toe
1275
01:12:05.480 --> 01:12:06.020
and then
1276
01:12:06.020 --> 01:12:09.620
into the heel, typically going into the toe and then into the heel would be a
1277
01:12:09.620 --> 01:12:10.080
little
1278
01:12:10.080 --> 01:12:14.420
bit more powerful, um, because it's going into the toe where that foot is
1279
01:12:14.420 --> 01:12:15.340
pushing against
1280
01:12:15.340 --> 01:12:19.500
the ground in the direction of the target line to help create the rotation.
1281
01:12:19.500 --> 01:12:23.660
If it's just going towards the target, you'll, you'll almost be like trying to
1282
01:12:23.660 --> 01:12:25.060
spin on ice
1283
01:12:25.060 --> 01:12:29.460
instead of really kind of gripping and pushing against the ground.
1284
01:12:29.460 --> 01:12:34.450
Um, there might be something as far as more consistency with the linear, but,
1285
01:12:34.450 --> 01:12:35.100
uh, I don't
1286
01:12:35.100 --> 01:12:41.460
know that that's necessarily worth it, um, center pressure to front foot at P
1287
01:12:41.460 --> 01:12:42.220
five.
1288
01:12:42.220 --> 01:12:48.000
Uh, recent GG video with Ruiz showed COP go backward in transition to shallow
1289
01:12:48.000 --> 01:12:49.260
the club,
1290
01:12:49.260 --> 01:12:52.660
um, never gets more than 60 43 impact.
1291
01:12:52.660 --> 01:13:00.540
So, uh, the, whenever you're looking at the foot stuff, um, I definitely would
1292
01:13:00.540 --> 01:13:01.020
look at
1293
01:13:01.020 --> 01:13:05.900
the, um, like the sample size and the reliability of the system.
1294
01:13:05.900 --> 01:13:09.930
I know that, um, body tracks can have a fair amount of availability, a
1295
01:13:09.930 --> 01:13:11.020
variability just
1296
01:13:11.020 --> 01:13:12.020
system to system.
1297
01:13:12.020 --> 01:13:15.650
Um, doesn't mean that they're, they're not bad, but if you're going off of
1298
01:13:15.650 --> 01:13:16.380
something
1299
01:13:16.380 --> 01:13:21.420
where you like, where you see 60 40, um, just know that there's probably some w
1300
01:13:21.420 --> 01:13:22.100
iggle room
1301
01:13:22.100 --> 01:13:23.100
with that.
1302
01:13:23.100 --> 01:13:28.240
Uh, Sashos got the, the AMTI plates with it, which is a lot more, and he has
1303
01:13:28.240 --> 01:13:29.020
two, one
1304
01:13:29.020 --> 01:13:38.420
for each foot, um, the, his, his research is probably the best at, um, so he
1305
01:13:38.420 --> 01:13:39.660
showed that
1306
01:13:39.660 --> 01:13:45.440
the greater the pressure in the lead foot at arm parallel, so the earlier you
1307
01:13:45.440 --> 01:13:45.780
get it
1308
01:13:45.780 --> 01:13:49.460
there, typically the more that you're going to be able to produce club S speed.
1309
01:13:49.460 --> 01:13:54.310
Um, and so the earlier you get it there and the greater you can get it there,
1310
01:13:54.310 --> 01:13:54.900
the more
1311
01:13:54.900 --> 01:13:58.820
you're going to produce, um, club head speed.
1312
01:13:58.820 --> 01:14:03.860
I, the, the problem, one of the other problems with pressure is if you're not
1313
01:14:03.860 --> 01:14:04.500
looking at
1314
01:14:04.500 --> 01:14:08.400
the total force, like this person may be pushing really hard with the left and
1315
01:14:08.400 --> 01:14:08.980
really hard
1316
01:14:08.980 --> 01:14:14.500
with the right, as opposed to, um, pushing less with the left.
1317
01:14:14.500 --> 01:14:19.270
So let's say you're pushing 200 Newton meters with the left and then the right
1318
01:14:19.270 --> 01:14:19.700
goes from
1319
01:14:19.700 --> 01:14:22.300
pushing, you know, 40 to 80.
1320
01:14:22.300 --> 01:14:25.820
Well, now the pressure is shifted more towards the right, even though the left
1321
01:14:25.820 --> 01:14:26.420
was pushing
1322
01:14:26.420 --> 01:14:29.020
the same intensity the whole time.
1323
01:14:29.020 --> 01:14:36.920
Um, so pressure is probably not quite as useful as force, but pressure is much
1324
01:14:36.920 --> 01:14:37.300
more
1325
01:14:37.300 --> 01:14:42.020
readily available, um, because it's a lot cheaper to measure.
1326
01:14:42.020 --> 01:14:49.920
Um, alright, a few more, what, uh, if you have any other questions, please, uh,
1327
01:14:49.920 --> 01:14:50.220
put
1328
01:14:50.220 --> 01:14:57.100
them in the, the chat and I'll do my best to get through anything.
1329
01:14:57.100 --> 01:15:05.000
Uh, okay, I see a couple, um, can you speak to the position of the neck at set
1330
01:15:05.000 --> 01:15:05.300
up and
1331
01:15:05.300 --> 01:15:07.140
its effect on the backswing?
1332
01:15:07.140 --> 01:15:10.700
I have them look through the bottom of their eyes, thoughts.
1333
01:15:10.700 --> 01:15:12.900
Um, okay.
1334
01:15:12.900 --> 01:15:20.160
So when it comes to the, when it comes to the neck, um, what's, okay, when it
1335
01:15:20.160 --> 01:15:20.760
comes
1336
01:15:20.760 --> 01:15:26.530
to the orienting yourself in space, there are five major areas that humans will
1337
01:15:26.530 --> 01:15:26.860
use.
1338
01:15:26.860 --> 01:15:32.530
They use the bottoms of the feet, um, they use their eyes, their ears, their
1339
01:15:32.530 --> 01:15:33.060
jaw, and
1340
01:15:33.060 --> 01:15:34.140
their spine.
1341
01:15:34.140 --> 01:15:38.910
Um, so maybe in another talk, I'll go into more detail on those, but the
1342
01:15:38.910 --> 01:15:39.820
orientation
1343
01:15:39.820 --> 01:15:46.220
of the neck, they could be positioning it off on a funny angle in order to get
1344
01:15:46.220 --> 01:15:46.780
their,
1345
01:15:46.780 --> 01:15:52.000
like, the, the actual vertebra and their jaw more in line, um, or they could be
1346
01:15:52.000 --> 01:15:52.820
doing it
1347
01:15:52.820 --> 01:15:57.580
so that they can see what's like, so that it looks a certain way with the eyes.
1348
01:15:57.580 --> 01:16:03.360
Um, as far as looking through the bottom of the eyes versus, um, through the
1349
01:16:03.360 --> 01:16:03.820
center
1350
01:16:03.820 --> 01:16:10.300
of the eyes, the, I think the most important thing there, um, everything I've
1351
01:16:10.300 --> 01:16:10.940
seen about
1352
01:16:10.940 --> 01:16:15.660
the quiet eye is that you want more of a wide field of vision.
1353
01:16:15.660 --> 01:16:21.580
So, um, perhaps looking out the bottom of the eye, um, that will create more
1354
01:16:21.580 --> 01:16:22.260
tension
1355
01:16:22.260 --> 01:16:26.580
through, uh, by looking down, that will create more tension in the spinal cord.
1356
01:16:26.580 --> 01:16:31.350
Um, so it could limit some spine rotation, having them look down, but it would
1357
01:16:31.350 --> 01:16:31.460
also
1358
01:16:31.460 --> 01:16:36.230
put the joints possibly in better alignment, so you might free up more, um,
1359
01:16:36.230 --> 01:16:36.980
rotation that
1360
01:16:36.980 --> 01:16:37.980
way.
1361
01:16:37.980 --> 01:16:41.140
Most of these things, when you look at the, the body, there's kind of a cost
1362
01:16:41.140 --> 01:16:41.360
benefit
1363
01:16:41.360 --> 01:16:47.780
analysis where if they have better, um, say spine flexibility, they might be
1364
01:16:47.780 --> 01:16:48.500
able to get
1365
01:16:48.500 --> 01:16:50.380
away with looking through the bottom of the eyes.
1366
01:16:50.380 --> 01:16:55.150
If they're, if they have less spine flexibility, they may need less tension in
1367
01:16:55.150 --> 01:16:55.660
the, in the
1368
01:16:55.660 --> 01:17:00.430
spinal cord or the matter, um, by having looking more through the center of the
1369
01:17:00.430 --> 01:17:00.980
sockets.
1370
01:17:00.980 --> 01:17:12.190
Um, as far as the, um, the neck orientation, the, I would say that the
1371
01:17:12.190 --> 01:17:14.860
hierarchy, um, making,
1372
01:17:14.860 --> 01:17:19.630
like, if you're not comfortable screening a golfer for seeing what their neck
1373
01:17:19.630 --> 01:17:20.020
range
1374
01:17:20.020 --> 01:17:25.940
of motion is, um, then look for the shoulders first times, if they start
1375
01:17:25.940 --> 01:17:27.140
struggling, when
1376
01:17:27.140 --> 01:17:30.450
they're getting into certain positions, it usually means that they're
1377
01:17:30.450 --> 01:17:31.420
potentially trying
1378
01:17:31.420 --> 01:17:36.410
to free up some flexibility in the neck and that you might have to try to find
1379
01:17:36.410 --> 01:17:37.260
a position
1380
01:17:37.260 --> 01:17:42.030
where, um, they have a little bit more range of motion, uh, but jumping back to
1381
01:17:42.030 --> 01:17:42.660
the, the
1382
01:17:42.660 --> 01:17:47.450
eyes and the wide field of view, um, the goal is that it, it's kind of a
1383
01:17:47.450 --> 01:17:48.700
diffuse look.
1384
01:17:48.700 --> 01:17:54.480
Um, the, I heard one, one guy describe it as more like, uh, almost like when we
1385
01:17:54.480 --> 01:17:54.660
were
1386
01:17:54.660 --> 01:18:00.560
doing those magic eyes back in the day, um, where you see it, but you're not
1387
01:18:00.560 --> 01:18:01.740
really focused
1388
01:18:01.740 --> 01:18:02.740
on it.
1389
01:18:02.740 --> 01:18:07.680
So if they're, if they're too intent with where their eyes are, then I think it
1390
01:18:07.680 --> 01:18:08.260
's more
1391
01:18:08.260 --> 01:18:13.580
likely gonna disrupt the pattern rather than, um, help it.
1392
01:18:13.580 --> 01:18:17.600
They shouldn't be able to, like, read something perfectly clear, uh, when they
1393
01:18:17.600 --> 01:18:18.380
're swinging.
1394
01:18:18.380 --> 01:18:21.550
It should be kind of a soft, diffuse gaze where they're kind of seeing
1395
01:18:21.550 --> 01:18:22.380
everything all
1396
01:18:22.380 --> 01:18:23.380
at once.
1397
01:18:23.380 --> 01:18:28.300
Um, Jules has a question, what are most, what are the most likely causes of
1398
01:18:28.300 --> 01:18:29.260
rage shoulders
1399
01:18:29.260 --> 01:18:35.050
through impact immediately after, um, that ink that, uh, indicates lots of
1400
01:18:35.050 --> 01:18:35.780
tension in
1401
01:18:35.780 --> 01:18:36.780
the swing?
1402
01:18:36.780 --> 01:18:41.560
Um, yeah, so I would say, um, we're talking about kind of shrugging or pulling
1403
01:18:41.560 --> 01:18:42.500
the shoulders
1404
01:18:42.500 --> 01:18:44.660
in that way through impact.
1405
01:18:44.660 --> 01:18:49.530
That can help with moving the low point forward, um, that can help with closing
1406
01:18:49.530 --> 01:18:51.860
the club face.
1407
01:18:51.860 --> 01:18:55.740
That can help with, um, absorbing the speed.
1408
01:18:55.740 --> 01:19:02.460
Um, so any of those three, it could be done to protect the left shoulder.
1409
01:19:02.460 --> 01:19:06.560
It could be done because they're trying to hold off, um, rotation of the
1410
01:19:06.560 --> 01:19:07.380
forearm.
1411
01:19:07.380 --> 01:19:12.150
Um, it could be, it could happen because they're limited in terms of the
1412
01:19:12.150 --> 01:19:13.140
flexibility of the
1413
01:19:13.140 --> 01:19:14.140
forearm.
1414
01:19:14.140 --> 01:19:20.970
Um, that there's, there's a number of really logical causes for why they might,
1415
01:19:20.970 --> 01:19:21.460
um, be
1416
01:19:21.460 --> 01:19:24.340
kind of struggling and pulling in, uh, through impact.
1417
01:19:24.340 --> 01:19:30.290
So I would, I would, um, kind of work through the role of Dax and C. Can they
1418
01:19:30.290 --> 01:19:31.100
do it in nine
1419
01:19:31.100 --> 01:19:32.100
to three?
1420
01:19:32.100 --> 01:19:37.940
Um, then it's probably more speed related, um, if not, uh, can they do it?
1421
01:19:37.940 --> 01:19:43.930
Can they do a left arm only, um, because that one's really hard to shrug and,
1422
01:19:43.930 --> 01:19:44.500
uh, make
1423
01:19:44.500 --> 01:19:45.500
solid contact.
1424
01:19:45.500 --> 01:19:50.180
So that would be a couple, a couple of ways to investigate it.
1425
01:19:50.180 --> 01:19:55.220
Tim Taylor, what are the top three things you focus on junior golfers new to
1426
01:19:55.220 --> 01:19:55.900
golf?
1427
01:19:55.900 --> 01:19:58.060
What drills do you perform for spatial awareness?
1428
01:19:58.060 --> 01:20:00.700
Um, so junior golfers new to golf.
1429
01:20:00.700 --> 01:20:07.300
Um, I, I keep, I focus on ground contact and, uh, club face control.
1430
01:20:07.300 --> 01:20:13.420
So, um, teaching kind of club face open, club face closed, like out in front,
1431
01:20:13.420 --> 01:20:14.020
club face
1432
01:20:14.020 --> 01:20:19.810
open, club face closed, club face square at shaft parallel, same thing, follow
1433
01:20:19.810 --> 01:20:20.460
through
1434
01:20:20.460 --> 01:20:21.460
same thing.
1435
01:20:21.460 --> 01:20:24.460
If the ball goes left, it was closed, if it goes right, it was open.
1436
01:20:24.460 --> 01:20:28.150
And so working on that, if they have a hard time making contact, then working
1437
01:20:28.150 --> 01:20:28.740
on a little
1438
01:20:28.740 --> 01:20:32.800
bit more of kind of like a triangle drill and brushing the ground and then try
1439
01:20:32.800 --> 01:20:33.300
to brush
1440
01:20:33.300 --> 01:20:38.070
the ground with the ball is, um, if they can't brush the ground, then typically
1441
01:20:38.070 --> 01:20:38.780
juniors have
1442
01:20:38.780 --> 01:20:41.780
a whole lot of extra, you know, upper body movement.
1443
01:20:41.780 --> 01:20:47.560
So potentially keeping that upper body, um, learning to, whether it's with a
1444
01:20:47.560 --> 01:20:48.340
pool noodle
1445
01:20:48.340 --> 01:20:53.310
or me kind of creating a little box, just helping them visually orient where
1446
01:20:53.310 --> 01:20:54.020
their upper
1447
01:20:54.020 --> 01:20:56.860
body is in space.
1448
01:20:56.860 --> 01:21:00.910
Once you have those two, then it's more of like a rhythm thing, trying to
1449
01:21:00.910 --> 01:21:02.340
create more,
1450
01:21:02.340 --> 01:21:03.900
um, a little bit more speed.
1451
01:21:03.900 --> 01:21:08.740
That's where I'll use the rope or medicine balls or throwing, um, or, uh,
1452
01:21:08.740 --> 01:21:09.700
hockey stick
1453
01:21:09.700 --> 01:21:17.640
or stuff like that, uh, Jules, Mack told me that from P six on the head should
1454
01:21:17.640 --> 01:21:18.700
go back
1455
01:21:18.700 --> 01:21:22.530
while she, you should be looking at the ball and tilting head towards the
1456
01:21:22.530 --> 01:21:23.120
target.
1457
01:21:23.120 --> 01:21:24.120
What do you think?
1458
01:21:24.120 --> 01:21:30.950
Um, yeah, I mean, every, every 3D, especially with, uh, driver shows that from
1459
01:21:30.950 --> 01:21:32.020
P six through
1460
01:21:32.020 --> 01:21:38.850
P eight, the thorax or the head is going to be going back this way and the head
1461
01:21:38.850 --> 01:21:39.700
looking
1462
01:21:39.700 --> 01:21:45.790
at the ball, um, or tilting towards the target is going to help facilitate the
1463
01:21:45.790 --> 01:21:46.900
rotation inside
1464
01:21:46.900 --> 01:21:52.690
of P seven, but yeah, I'm a, I'm a huge believer that a lot of bad drivers of
1465
01:21:52.690 --> 01:21:54.240
golf ball, um,
1466
01:21:54.240 --> 01:21:58.060
one of the main things that is limiting them is their attempt to try to get
1467
01:21:58.060 --> 01:21:58.880
onto that front
1468
01:21:58.880 --> 01:21:59.880
foot.
1469
01:21:59.880 --> 01:22:06.120
I teach a lot of, you know, trying to hang back, um, with the driver as a, and
1470
01:22:06.120 --> 01:22:06.880
cover it
1471
01:22:06.880 --> 01:22:08.400
more with the iron.
1472
01:22:08.400 --> 01:22:14.190
So I see that a lot, um, Mike, I'm definitely not going to get to all these
1473
01:22:14.190 --> 01:22:15.240
questions.
1474
01:22:15.240 --> 01:22:19.450
I have a student that can create a lot of speed when they focus on lead foot
1475
01:22:19.450 --> 01:22:20.300
early on the
1476
01:22:20.300 --> 01:22:24.180
downswing, but they lose their arm extension early.
1477
01:22:24.180 --> 01:22:29.960
But when they slow down or swing 10 miles per hour, they can focus on right
1478
01:22:29.960 --> 01:22:30.980
wrist extension
1479
01:22:30.980 --> 01:22:43.390
and ulnar, um, gosh, so, yes, for, for some golfers, if they, um, let me, uh,
1480
01:22:43.390 --> 01:22:44.820
let me show
1481
01:22:44.820 --> 01:22:51.160
something from, bear with me one second.
1482
01:22:51.160 --> 01:22:53.020
All right.
1483
01:22:53.020 --> 01:23:00.000
So I'm collecting some video for, for doing a analysis on Cameron.
1484
01:23:00.000 --> 01:23:08.090
Uh, let me see if any of these are, okay, um, where's the one where I've got a
1485
01:23:08.090 --> 01:23:08.980
couple
1486
01:23:08.980 --> 01:23:15.580
that are zoomed in pretty good.
1487
01:23:15.580 --> 01:23:17.480
I think this will work though.
1488
01:23:17.480 --> 01:23:23.510
What you'll typically see is golfers who hit the ball a long, long way, um,
1489
01:23:23.510 --> 01:23:24.340
will tend
1490
01:23:24.340 --> 01:23:28.740
to go motorcycle a little bit later.
1491
01:23:28.740 --> 01:23:35.220
Um, so you'll see at this position that lead wrist has a, a bit of extension.
1492
01:23:35.220 --> 01:23:41.280
So that allows him to get more pull through the, the lats.
1493
01:23:41.280 --> 01:23:47.310
And then from right about here, down through impact, you'll see that he's able
1494
01:23:47.310 --> 01:23:47.860
to get a
1495
01:23:47.860 --> 01:23:48.860
little bit more flexion.
1496
01:23:48.860 --> 01:23:52.290
I, I don't want to waste the time looking for it, but I have a better, um,
1497
01:23:52.290 --> 01:23:52.980
video where
1498
01:23:52.980 --> 01:23:54.660
you can see it close up.
1499
01:23:54.660 --> 01:24:01.260
Um, that's a little bit, I mean, that's a coordination move.
1500
01:24:01.260 --> 01:24:07.050
He's figured out how to time it right so that he can create max power early and
1501
01:24:07.050 --> 01:24:07.700
then more
1502
01:24:07.700 --> 01:24:10.100
control with the wrist late.
1503
01:24:10.100 --> 01:24:20.540
What it sounds like is that your student hasn't quite figured that out yet.
1504
01:24:20.540 --> 01:24:25.770
And so he can either control the clubface with the, um, owner, or the flexion
1505
01:24:25.770 --> 01:24:26.460
of the
1506
01:24:26.460 --> 01:24:32.370
lead wrist, right, wrist extension, um, or he can create maximum speed by going
1507
01:24:32.370 --> 01:24:32.980
, you
1508
01:24:32.980 --> 01:24:39.420
know, faster with the wrist, but, um, so jumping back and forth between those
1509
01:24:39.420 --> 01:24:40.260
two is a good
1510
01:24:40.260 --> 01:24:43.660
way to kind of give them exposure to each of them.
1511
01:24:43.660 --> 01:24:50.500
Um, the other option is what could be happening is when they get a ton of lead
1512
01:24:50.500 --> 01:24:52.220
foot, um, the,
1513
01:24:52.220 --> 01:24:55.380
the upper body could be getting out of position and now their steeps and shall
1514
01:24:55.380 --> 01:24:55.860
ows is out of
1515
01:24:55.860 --> 01:25:01.640
balance and they have to use, um, so even though their speed increases, their
1516
01:25:01.640 --> 01:25:02.460
low point control
1517
01:25:02.460 --> 01:25:08.780
goes off and so they, they kind of have to, have to throttle it back, um, it,
1518
01:25:08.780 --> 01:25:10.700
it would
1519
01:25:10.700 --> 01:25:11.700
be tough.
1520
01:25:11.700 --> 01:25:16.770
So I, I definitely do some swings to, to break that out, I would do some swings
1521
01:25:16.770 --> 01:25:17.500
with full
1522
01:25:17.500 --> 01:25:21.150
speed and see if they can control where the club hits the ground, that'll let
1523
01:25:21.150 --> 01:25:21.580
me know
1524
01:25:21.580 --> 01:25:25.590
if they can do speed and path, um, if they can do that, but then can't do it
1525
01:25:25.590 --> 01:25:26.220
with a golf
1526
01:25:26.220 --> 01:25:29.380
ball, then I know that it's a pure club face, um, so that would be the
1527
01:25:29.380 --> 01:25:29.900
different shape,
1528
01:25:29.900 --> 01:25:35.020
the model I would use, um, tools with juniors, I know, I encourage them to
1529
01:25:35.020 --> 01:25:36.020
think of the golf
1530
01:25:36.020 --> 01:25:39.890
club as a tool similar to the ones that they know, that gets the coordination
1531
01:25:39.890 --> 01:25:40.300
that they
1532
01:25:40.300 --> 01:25:45.340
can find, um, that brings them pleasure and starts in that plot, I taught it.
1533
01:25:45.340 --> 01:25:50.350
Yeah, if they, if they have a background in tennis or hockey or baseball or,
1534
01:25:50.350 --> 01:25:51.180
you know,
1535
01:25:51.180 --> 01:25:59.800
some other racket or, um, stick sport, yes, it's awesome to be able, uh, to, um
1536
01:25:59.800 --> 01:26:00.820
, bring
1537
01:26:00.820 --> 01:26:05.590
what they already know how to do as part of the program, um, instead of having
1538
01:26:05.590 --> 01:26:05.980
to learn
1539
01:26:05.980 --> 01:26:08.940
everything, uh, straight from there.
