00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.880
All right, coaches, here we go with the last installment of the position
2
00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:06.740
program, looking
3
00:00:06.740 --> 00:00:08.100
at P10.
4
00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:10.280
This is the finished position.
5
00:00:10.280 --> 00:00:16.310
So we are going to keep it in the context of arms versus body, bracing versus
6
00:00:16.310 --> 00:00:17.180
coasting
7
00:00:17.180 --> 00:00:21.640
and a little bit of revealing the path and things like that.
8
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.980
But this is really an extension of looking at P8, but it can give us some
9
00:00:25.980 --> 00:00:26.860
details that
10
00:00:26.860 --> 00:00:31.720
we might not just see from looking at P8.
11
00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:36.140
So just keeping in context, the simple movement guide, we'll do our last little
12
00:00:36.140 --> 00:00:37.960
recap of this.
13
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:42.900
So what's moving, what's not, whenever you're looking at movement, you can kind
14
00:00:42.900 --> 00:00:43.520
of think
15
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:47.560
about the muscles in the fascia and you can think about what part is moving.
16
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.280
In order to move, you have to have some anchor.
17
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:55.760
So some of the common fixed points or anchors are going to be the main joint.
18
00:00:55.760 --> 00:01:00.460
So the foot, the knee connect as an anchor, the pelvis, the hip, the ribs are a
19
00:01:00.460 --> 00:01:00.980
common
20
00:01:00.980 --> 00:01:07.040
one, the shoulder, the elbows and the wrist can actually get locked in place
21
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:07.680
and be a
22
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:09.480
fixed point.
23
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:14.200
So always think relationships versus just absolutes.
24
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:19.810
So local versus global, what's happening for one area might be a compensation
25
00:01:19.810 --> 00:01:20.520
for something
26
00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:21.520
nearby.
27
00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:26.750
So common areas to look at are the hips and the feet working together, the hips
28
00:01:26.750 --> 00:01:27.160
and the
29
00:01:27.160 --> 00:01:33.660
shoulders working together, the rib cage working with either the hips or the
30
00:01:33.660 --> 00:01:35.040
shoulders, the
31
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.280
shoulders and the wrists, I already said that.
32
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:42.130
So those are kind of some of the big relationships, but it's helpful to think
33
00:01:42.130 --> 00:01:43.360
about how one part
34
00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:46.040
of the body is influencing another.
35
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:52.200
And out versus outside in, each joint has stabilizers as well as movers.
36
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:57.180
So if we think about the first goal is to get the joint kind of centered or
37
00:01:57.180 --> 00:01:58.240
stabilized,
38
00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:01.640
then the big movers can act more forcefully.
39
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:07.720
If the joint is sloppy, you'll typically not be able to recruit as many motor
40
00:02:07.720 --> 00:02:08.440
units and
41
00:02:08.440 --> 00:02:12.280
you won't be able to get as much out of the movers.
42
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:16.640
Superarms is not so much related to this, although one key thing is a lot of
43
00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:17.240
golfers
44
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.730
will pull their arms in closer as they get to the finish position to kind of
45
00:02:20.730 --> 00:02:21.280
take some
46
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.720
of the load off of their body.
47
00:02:25.720 --> 00:02:28.820
That's commonly, we'll talk about it a little bit later, but that's commonly
48
00:02:28.820 --> 00:02:29.960
kind of a bracing
49
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:33.920
and using more of the shoulders versus using more of the core.
50
00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:38.670
So we'll get little glimpses at the finish position as far as what they were
51
00:02:38.670 --> 00:02:39.400
thinking
52
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:44.920
about both the path and the face, or sorry, path and how they create speed, but
53
00:02:44.920 --> 00:02:45.360
not much
54
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:46.960
with the face control.
55
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.480
That's kind of over at P8.
56
00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:53.000
What gets loaded gets unloaded.
57
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:59.060
So this is a great place to look at, well, what is this golfer doing to end the
58
00:02:59.060 --> 00:03:00.000
movement?
59
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.160
You can see what they like to move and what they don't like to move.
60
00:03:03.160 --> 00:03:08.270
That might help you influence what's going on down in the more important phases
61
00:03:08.270 --> 00:03:08.600
.
62
00:03:08.600 --> 00:03:10.760
Same thing with working the pattern backwards.
63
00:03:10.760 --> 00:03:13.810
If you look at what's moving into the finish, you can figure out what they
64
00:03:13.810 --> 00:03:14.600
might be avoiding
65
00:03:14.600 --> 00:03:18.720
or what their preferences are.
66
00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:22.100
And then, of course, pushing the car analogy, that's what we want to use, the
67
00:03:22.100 --> 00:03:22.760
big guys to
68
00:03:22.760 --> 00:03:23.840
absorb force.
69
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.280
So we should be seeing some of the big guys moving here in the finish.
70
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.880
So all of them get involved in this.
71
00:03:30.880 --> 00:03:31.880
All right.
72
00:03:31.880 --> 00:03:37.080
So just a quick recap, we've got P1 through 4, which is the backswing.
73
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.880
Main goals, if you've got all the individual power points, you can see the
74
00:03:40.880 --> 00:03:41.720
details, but
75
00:03:41.720 --> 00:03:48.770
main goals are shifting pressure and kind of loading up while maintaining a
76
00:03:48.770 --> 00:03:49.480
center or
77
00:03:49.480 --> 00:03:52.920
centered pivot in some sense.
78
00:03:52.920 --> 00:03:56.480
So not much vertical lateral movement.
79
00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:03.790
And then organizing the face and path so that we're in position to organize the
80
00:04:03.790 --> 00:04:04.520
path in
81
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:10.560
the face during that first phase of the downswing.
82
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:16.440
So first phase of the downswing, we've got P5 through 10 here.
83
00:04:16.440 --> 00:04:21.370
So early part of the downswing, we're trying to apply max pressure into that
84
00:04:21.370 --> 00:04:22.080
lead foot
85
00:04:22.080 --> 00:04:29.290
while maintaining lag or increasing some of the wrist and shoulder stretch
86
00:04:29.290 --> 00:04:30.200
during that
87
00:04:30.200 --> 00:04:31.200
downswing.
88
00:04:31.200 --> 00:04:34.350
So we're going to lead that movement more from the core, we're trying to
89
00:04:34.350 --> 00:04:35.280
already start
90
00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:41.810
organizing the face so that by this shaft parallel checkpoint, we've got our
91
00:04:41.810 --> 00:04:42.600
body creating
92
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:48.260
a lot of the speed, but the club and arms are in a good position where we can
93
00:04:48.260 --> 00:04:49.000
then get
94
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:52.360
some shaft lean and good compression at impact.
95
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:57.080
As we release through to this finish position, we've got the bracing going on
96
00:04:57.080 --> 00:04:58.000
maintaining
97
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:03.540
the spine angle, centerness of our hub or centerness of our pivot.
98
00:05:03.540 --> 00:05:08.850
And then as we look in this follow through, we can kind of see the main like
99
00:05:08.850 --> 00:05:09.680
the after
100
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.510
effects of where we're using our body, where we're using our arms, what was our
101
00:05:13.510 --> 00:05:15.360
swing direction,
102
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.320
we'll get some cues there.
103
00:05:18.320 --> 00:05:27.120
So there's our quick recap of the release or repeat the last video that we shot
104
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:27.560
.
105
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:33.520
So stable pelvis slide, arms extending through impact to create this flat spot,
106
00:05:33.520 --> 00:05:34.640
more extended
107
00:05:34.640 --> 00:05:38.440
trail wrist or flex lead wrist at impact than it set up.
108
00:05:38.440 --> 00:05:42.160
So if they were really strong, they might work more towards the neutral.
109
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.600
If they were really weak, they'll have an exaggerated position.
110
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:51.510
But getting the wrist more in that movement there helps with squaring the club
111
00:05:51.510 --> 00:05:52.240
face and
112
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:58.520
creating shaft lean given body driven pivot.
113
00:05:58.520 --> 00:06:01.760
The dominant normal force down at impact is pretty much unavoidable.
114
00:06:01.760 --> 00:06:06.850
The key is to get it happening more from body rotation pulling on the club
115
00:06:06.850 --> 00:06:07.800
versus just
116
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:11.520
the arms pulling on the club.
117
00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:13.760
The shaft lean and looking at the impact line.
118
00:06:13.760 --> 00:06:19.320
So with the irons, shoulder, hip, shaft, hand, kind of all in line just after
119
00:06:19.320 --> 00:06:20.080
impact with
120
00:06:20.080 --> 00:06:27.620
the driver, it's more of the hip and shaft that helps with controlling dynamic
121
00:06:27.620 --> 00:06:28.720
loft and
122
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.560
getting maximum compression, transferring energy to the golf ball.
123
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:37.840
For consistency, we want and for playability, we want our steeps and shallows
124
00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:38.640
to match our
125
00:06:38.640 --> 00:06:39.640
ball flight goals.
126
00:06:39.640 --> 00:06:45.490
So a little bit inside out for a draw, a little bit outside in for fade, but
127
00:06:45.490 --> 00:06:46.560
having a good
128
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:52.320
low point and depth control so that we have this nice gentle gradual bottom of
129
00:06:52.320 --> 00:06:53.360
the swing,
130
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.760
that's the flat spot that tends to give us consistency.
131
00:06:56.760 --> 00:07:04.800
Okay, when we decode the release, we kind of look at scoop versus tour.
132
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:09.690
So in the scoop release, you will typically see the trail wrist going towards
133
00:07:09.690 --> 00:07:10.280
flexion
134
00:07:10.280 --> 00:07:15.520
or rehinging or the arm going into excessive internal rotation.
135
00:07:15.520 --> 00:07:20.460
The lead wrist, you'll tend to see going towards extension, rehinging or ret
136
00:07:20.460 --> 00:07:21.440
raction of the shoulder
137
00:07:21.440 --> 00:07:27.160
blade and usually with no supination, so it'll tend to look more like that.
138
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:31.460
With the trail hand, we can get into, are they pushing more with the thumb on
139
00:07:31.460 --> 00:07:32.240
the club or
140
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:38.440
are they pushing more with that first finger or the first pressure point of
141
00:07:38.440 --> 00:07:39.760
this right index
142
00:07:39.760 --> 00:07:45.640
finger through the release, you want to see the elbows getting closer together
143
00:07:45.640 --> 00:07:46.240
versus
144
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.120
getting wider or further apart.
145
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:54.510
Typically when they get further apart, you'll see very limited supination when
146
00:07:54.510 --> 00:07:55.040
they're
147
00:07:55.040 --> 00:08:01.000
going together, getting closer together, it's easier for that lead forearm to
148
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.040
supinate.
149
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:08.150
From the body's perspective, we will tend to see with more the scoop, you'll
150
00:08:08.150 --> 00:08:08.960
tend to see
151
00:08:08.960 --> 00:08:14.480
a little bit of kind of a buckle in that lead leg, that's when I'm really kind
152
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:15.120
of anchoring
153
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:20.640
in the knee and the quad, it's a sign of getting more of my speed from my arms
154
00:08:20.640 --> 00:08:22.440
and you'll, or
155
00:08:22.440 --> 00:08:27.070
if I'm doing a lot with my arms, you will tend to see not a lot of body
156
00:08:27.070 --> 00:08:28.120
rotation.
157
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:32.620
Part of that is because the pec and the lat tend to have or have facial
158
00:08:32.620 --> 00:08:33.960
attachments onto
159
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:39.000
the pelvis, so the pec right here, the lat back here, but both of those are
160
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:40.040
going to not
161
00:08:40.040 --> 00:08:43.880
be as strong in this position as they would be in this position, so when you
162
00:08:43.880 --> 00:08:44.680
start firing
163
00:08:44.680 --> 00:08:49.560
your arms, you're going to line things up so that it can fire and work more
164
00:08:49.560 --> 00:08:50.840
effectively.
165
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:58.090
And then you got the geometric aspect, which is as I stand up, this is going to
166
00:08:58.090 --> 00:08:59.440
straighten.
167
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:03.030
So as this arm straightens, I need to create more distance, otherwise I would
168
00:09:03.030 --> 00:09:04.720
hit the ground.
169
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:09.800
So it does help control low point, it does help close the face, it helps go
170
00:09:09.800 --> 00:09:10.560
normal, but
171
00:09:10.560 --> 00:09:15.540
it creates this narrow bottom of the swing and typically has a faster club face
172
00:09:15.540 --> 00:09:16.320
closing,
173
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:18.760
which doesn't work as well for consistency.
174
00:09:18.760 --> 00:09:23.770
Okay, so as a reminder, P8, one of my favorite positions to analyze, you see a
175
00:09:23.770 --> 00:09:24.740
lot of what's
176
00:09:24.740 --> 00:09:31.230
going on here, how well they're using the body, the core, how well they're
177
00:09:31.230 --> 00:09:32.140
doing ulnar
178
00:09:32.140 --> 00:09:36.100
deviation, how well they're doing supination, this gives you a really good path
179
00:09:36.100 --> 00:09:37.320
checkpoint,
180
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.260
club face checkpoint.
181
00:09:39.260 --> 00:09:43.790
If you have the club face in view, I don't in these two videos, or these two
182
00:09:43.790 --> 00:09:44.620
pictures,
183
00:09:44.620 --> 00:09:49.560
you can see the spine angle, so how well they mained centered pivot, you can
184
00:09:49.560 --> 00:09:50.580
see remnants
185
00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:55.460
of the impact line, so what kind of axis tilt and body location they had at
186
00:09:55.460 --> 00:09:56.220
impact.
187
00:09:56.220 --> 00:09:59.920
This is one of my, one of the more telling positions, so you want to get really
188
00:09:59.920 --> 00:10:00.280
good
189
00:10:00.280 --> 00:10:01.900
at looking at it.
190
00:10:01.900 --> 00:10:05.860
But sometimes things will show up as we approach more of the finish position.
191
00:10:05.860 --> 00:10:10.610
So as we go to P10, that's kind of the end of the swing, we're going to scan a
192
00:10:10.610 --> 00:10:11.240
number
193
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:12.240
of different things.
194
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.060
You've got the lead hip to foot relationship.
195
00:10:15.060 --> 00:10:18.290
So if I had a vertical line right here, you can see that the hip is just
196
00:10:18.290 --> 00:10:20.100
slightly behind
197
00:10:20.100 --> 00:10:24.100
the foot, as opposed to directly on top of the middle of the foot.
198
00:10:24.100 --> 00:10:25.900
You can look at trail hip buckle.
199
00:10:25.900 --> 00:10:31.500
So how well has this hip stayed up?
200
00:10:31.500 --> 00:10:37.110
Basically, if I get into this position here, if I drop like this, that's called
201
00:10:37.110 --> 00:10:38.020
a trendelenburg,
202
00:10:38.020 --> 00:10:43.080
if you're looking at gate analysis, where basically I'm not using the glute med
203
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:43.540
ius on
204
00:10:43.540 --> 00:10:49.060
the side to control the level of the pelvis, and I'm kind of like sinking
205
00:10:49.060 --> 00:10:50.060
totally into
206
00:10:50.060 --> 00:10:51.060
the hip capsule.
207
00:10:51.060 --> 00:10:57.020
I'm kind of going until I get on stretch of the capsule instead of using the
208
00:10:57.020 --> 00:10:58.020
muscle.
209
00:10:58.020 --> 00:11:01.960
That can be a sign if I did that early, that's going to create some really big
210
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:02.580
low point
211
00:11:02.580 --> 00:11:03.580
issues.
212
00:11:03.580 --> 00:11:08.100
All right, so we got slight spine angle, so still slightly tilted.
213
00:11:08.100 --> 00:11:13.180
We're making sure that the shoulders haven't really shrugged, that the arms are
214
00:11:13.180 --> 00:11:13.780
staying
215
00:11:13.780 --> 00:11:14.780
out in front of the chest.
216
00:11:14.780 --> 00:11:16.820
We'll see that from the face on view.
217
00:11:16.820 --> 00:11:21.370
But one of the other good ones to look at here is that lead arm to shoulder
218
00:11:21.370 --> 00:11:22.220
height.
219
00:11:22.220 --> 00:11:27.270
So as I get into this finish position, especially from that down the line view,
220
00:11:27.270 --> 00:11:28.120
you can look
221
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.380
at looking for about a right angle in that lead arm.
222
00:11:33.380 --> 00:11:37.340
Some people will finish way down here, and others will finish way up here.
223
00:11:37.340 --> 00:11:43.300
So you'll kind of see these two kind of like that or like that.
224
00:11:43.300 --> 00:11:48.230
But if those arms stay in front and the body is rotating it through, then this
225
00:11:48.230 --> 00:11:48.940
will tend
226
00:11:48.940 --> 00:11:51.660
to form more of that right angle.
227
00:11:51.660 --> 00:11:56.340
Also you'll see the shaft position compared to the head.
228
00:11:56.340 --> 00:11:59.500
So if it's gone like way up, it'll be more vertical.
229
00:11:59.500 --> 00:12:03.550
That's usually a sign of an overly into out path, or some too much body
230
00:12:03.550 --> 00:12:04.420
extension on the
231
00:12:04.420 --> 00:12:09.780
way through, and then coming around more like this, that would be typically
232
00:12:09.780 --> 00:12:10.540
more of kind
233
00:12:10.540 --> 00:12:13.980
of a lead shoulder pull or retraction.
234
00:12:13.980 --> 00:12:19.010
Often times that's going to create more of an outside in path down at the
235
00:12:19.010 --> 00:12:19.860
bottom or a
236
00:12:19.860 --> 00:12:21.740
little bit more steep.
237
00:12:21.740 --> 00:12:27.700
So that's where we're looking at this shaft to head/spinangle relationship.
238
00:12:27.700 --> 00:12:33.660
From this face on view, we can see the get full body rotation, especially
239
00:12:33.660 --> 00:12:34.660
looking at the
240
00:12:34.660 --> 00:12:36.260
hip to belt buckle.
241
00:12:36.260 --> 00:12:40.460
Are they internally rotating that lead hip, externally rotating that trail hip.
242
00:12:40.460 --> 00:12:44.940
Lead foot turnout, so we can see where the weight is on that foot.
243
00:12:44.940 --> 00:12:48.200
We can also see the body position compared to the feet, I don't know if that
244
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:48.820
listed there,
245
00:12:48.820 --> 00:12:53.370
but if your hips are more in the center of your stance, that can be an
246
00:12:53.370 --> 00:12:54.740
indication of maybe
247
00:12:54.740 --> 00:13:00.260
poor lower body mechanics or needing poor lower body mechanics to match a club
248
00:13:00.260 --> 00:13:00.660
face
249
00:13:00.660 --> 00:13:01.660
problem.
250
00:13:01.660 --> 00:13:05.780
This is where elbows in front of the chest.
251
00:13:05.780 --> 00:13:11.140
So basically as I get to that finish position, there should be still some good
252
00:13:11.140 --> 00:13:12.340
shoulder blade
253
00:13:12.340 --> 00:13:13.340
integrity.
254
00:13:13.340 --> 00:13:17.740
I don't want to have those arms kind of pulling in a lot, and I don't want
255
00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:19.020
those shoulders
256
00:13:19.020 --> 00:13:20.660
pulling up a lot.
257
00:13:20.660 --> 00:13:25.320
So if those arms stay out in front, which is good, sorry to say, interior
258
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:26.300
activation,
259
00:13:26.300 --> 00:13:31.300
then I'm going to continue to get my rib cage to move around a whole lot more.
260
00:13:31.300 --> 00:13:36.500
That tends to create some of this smoothness or width down at the bottom.
261
00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:39.780
Then lastly, you've got the extension of the hips and spine.
262
00:13:39.780 --> 00:13:43.700
So you can scan, are they getting into some extension?
263
00:13:43.700 --> 00:13:48.420
And if they are, is it happening uniformly throughout the spine and hips, or is
264
00:13:48.420 --> 00:13:48.980
it just
265
00:13:48.980 --> 00:13:51.020
happening at one part?
266
00:13:51.020 --> 00:13:55.480
So you'll see I'm not quite as extended through my upper thoracic, it's getting
267
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:56.220
better.
268
00:13:56.220 --> 00:13:59.100
But that's one of my physical restrictions.
269
00:13:59.100 --> 00:14:03.490
And in this particular swing, maybe not quite as extended through the hip as we
270
00:14:03.490 --> 00:14:04.180
might want
271
00:14:04.180 --> 00:14:06.460
to see, but overall not too bad.
272
00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:07.460
Okay.
273
00:14:07.460 --> 00:14:10.700
So quick summary of that, you've got basically looking at your hips, your core,
274
00:14:10.700 --> 00:14:11.420
your shoulders
275
00:14:11.420 --> 00:14:18.110
and your feet, hips, looking at pelvis rotation from the face on, and extension
276
00:14:18.110 --> 00:14:18.860
from the
277
00:14:18.860 --> 00:14:25.570
face on, from the core, kind of looking through the spine for a fluid curve,
278
00:14:25.570 --> 00:14:26.940
with side bend
279
00:14:26.940 --> 00:14:31.300
from the down the line and extension from the face on.
280
00:14:31.300 --> 00:14:38.100
And then the shoulders looking at minimal shrugging, not too much, pull one way
281
00:14:38.100 --> 00:14:38.460
or the
282
00:14:38.460 --> 00:14:42.580
other, although it's kind of still in front of the chest.
283
00:14:42.580 --> 00:14:47.530
Foot and ankle, that'll give you a little insight into is the rotation
284
00:14:47.530 --> 00:14:48.700
happening more
285
00:14:48.700 --> 00:14:51.500
from the knee and ankle, or is it happening more from the foot.
286
00:14:51.500 --> 00:14:52.500
Okay.
287
00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:57.540
So now let's dive into some of these favorite swings we've been analyzing here.
288
00:14:57.540 --> 00:14:58.940
So we got Alan first.
289
00:14:58.940 --> 00:15:04.480
If we just take a look at these two images, we can see that there's a lot we
290
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:05.340
can learn
291
00:15:05.340 --> 00:15:10.220
from this follow through that we might not have seen from just looking at the,
292
00:15:10.220 --> 00:15:10.860
or sorry,
293
00:15:10.860 --> 00:15:12.660
the finish compared to the follow through.
294
00:15:12.660 --> 00:15:17.750
So we can see by comparing the follow through the finish, the hips didn't quite
295
00:15:17.750 --> 00:15:18.820
get around,
296
00:15:18.820 --> 00:15:22.570
more of the extension is happening in the lower back, still quite rounded there
297
00:15:22.570 --> 00:15:22.820
in the
298
00:15:22.820 --> 00:15:28.820
upper back, shoulders are a little bit shrugged.
299
00:15:28.820 --> 00:15:35.310
And you know, he's kind of on the very outside of the middle of the foot, right
300
00:15:35.310 --> 00:15:35.540
?
301
00:15:35.540 --> 00:15:46.460
Okay, so if we take a quick look at that, so again, on the way through, we can
302
00:15:46.460 --> 00:15:46.740
see if
303
00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:51.730
we kind of scrub back and forth through there, there's a kind of lack of
304
00:15:51.730 --> 00:15:53.100
extension of that
305
00:15:53.100 --> 00:15:54.100
trail hip.
306
00:15:54.100 --> 00:15:59.820
So we'll see the ankle kind of come up in the leg, not necessarily straight
307
00:15:59.820 --> 00:16:00.660
ening the
308
00:16:00.660 --> 00:16:03.780
trail leg, not necessarily straightening.
309
00:16:03.780 --> 00:16:07.830
Now we'll see why he's getting onto the outside of that foot, he's not getting
310
00:16:07.830 --> 00:16:08.380
a whole lot
311
00:16:08.380 --> 00:16:11.300
of extension from that hip either.
312
00:16:11.300 --> 00:16:15.200
So potentially getting a little bit more hip tuck or bracing coming from the gl
313
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:15.580
utes would
314
00:16:15.580 --> 00:16:19.460
help clean up what's happening in both the knees and the ankle.
315
00:16:19.460 --> 00:16:25.950
Secondly, if we go through, we can see that right shoulder kind of really
316
00:16:25.950 --> 00:16:27.100
reaching with
317
00:16:27.100 --> 00:16:28.100
the club.
318
00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:31.120
He keeps the elbows kind of in front of his chest pretty good, but he does have
319
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:31.700
more of
320
00:16:31.700 --> 00:16:38.190
a shrug if we were able to see from the down the line, we probably see that
321
00:16:38.190 --> 00:16:39.300
space pretty
322
00:16:39.300 --> 00:16:45.800
closed off and we probably wouldn't see a really good maintenance of his spine
323
00:16:45.800 --> 00:16:46.500
angle.
324
00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:51.250
But you can see that there are definitely, okay, just as a general looks like
325
00:16:51.250 --> 00:16:51.940
he's kind
326
00:16:51.940 --> 00:16:57.320
of avoiding his hips, so we see some excessive compensations at the ankles and
327
00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:58.660
the shoulders.
328
00:16:58.660 --> 00:17:02.860
So that might be something we'd investigate on the lessensee.
329
00:17:02.860 --> 00:17:06.800
Alright, so Mr. Happy Feet looking at the finish, we can see not a whole lot of
330
00:17:06.800 --> 00:17:07.540
maintenance
331
00:17:07.540 --> 00:17:11.720
of the spine angle, very vertical, the trail hip, or sorry, the lead hip to
332
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:12.260
foot.
333
00:17:12.260 --> 00:17:15.820
You can see it's pretty much on top of instead of still in that angle.
334
00:17:15.820 --> 00:17:20.660
Something going on in that foot we'll look at because there's no extension of
335
00:17:20.660 --> 00:17:21.580
that ankle.
336
00:17:21.580 --> 00:17:26.330
And then shoulders, especially this right shoulder is up a little bit, but
337
00:17:26.330 --> 00:17:27.140
overall not
338
00:17:27.140 --> 00:17:38.060
too bad, okay, so dynamically, we can see there's just kind of an early
339
00:17:38.060 --> 00:17:39.260
extension pattern.
340
00:17:39.260 --> 00:17:44.220
Right, so there's a fair amount of vertical movement, but then on the way
341
00:17:44.220 --> 00:17:45.180
through that
342
00:17:45.180 --> 00:17:50.030
vertical movement kind of stops right about here and then it just goes into
343
00:17:50.030 --> 00:17:50.900
rotation,
344
00:17:50.900 --> 00:17:58.140
which is where we see that foot coming more off the ground.
345
00:17:58.140 --> 00:18:05.250
The brace or the ending of that arm extension there isn't happening as much
346
00:18:05.250 --> 00:18:07.060
from the obliques
347
00:18:07.060 --> 00:18:12.620
in the core, so much as it is just kind of pulling those arms across the body.
348
00:18:12.620 --> 00:18:17.250
Now he does a pretty good job of maintaining the shoulder position, so there's
349
00:18:17.250 --> 00:18:17.820
not like
350
00:18:17.820 --> 00:18:22.780
a really big collapse or shrugging.
351
00:18:22.780 --> 00:18:26.420
Let's see what's happening from that face on.
352
00:18:26.420 --> 00:18:32.040
So again, this is where we see kind of, okay, everything is spinning, that
353
00:18:32.040 --> 00:18:33.100
could be just
354
00:18:33.100 --> 00:18:37.350
the foot looks a little odd, there could be a restriction like an artificial
355
00:18:37.350 --> 00:18:37.980
right hip
356
00:18:37.980 --> 00:18:44.670
or something like that, preventing the external rotation so the knee has to go
357
00:18:44.670 --> 00:18:45.940
with the hip,
358
00:18:45.940 --> 00:18:49.700
and so that's why we see that foot going.
359
00:18:49.700 --> 00:18:53.290
As he gets into a finished position other than the early extension and kind of
360
00:18:53.290 --> 00:18:54.260
the overuse
361
00:18:54.260 --> 00:19:00.300
of the arms, there's nothing kind of glaring at that position.
362
00:19:00.300 --> 00:19:06.290
He's probably pretty consistent, but probably complains about some limitations,
363
00:19:06.290 --> 00:19:07.220
especially
364
00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:10.980
distance.
365
00:19:10.980 --> 00:19:11.980
Not an awful move.
366
00:19:11.980 --> 00:19:17.210
Okay, so if we're looking at the overturner in the garage, again scanning,
367
00:19:17.210 --> 00:19:18.100
first thing
368
00:19:18.100 --> 00:19:22.510
that jumps out, it could be because the shirt will look at dynamically, you can
369
00:19:22.510 --> 00:19:23.140
see there's
370
00:19:23.140 --> 00:19:26.740
not really an extension of those hips, right?
371
00:19:26.740 --> 00:19:33.230
The pelvis is still tipped forward, the hip is still in slight flexion, ankles
372
00:19:33.230 --> 00:19:33.700
kind of
373
00:19:33.700 --> 00:19:37.500
look okay, not a lot of knee extension, that makes sense with the hips, pretty
374
00:19:37.500 --> 00:19:38.100
good spine
375
00:19:38.100 --> 00:19:42.650
extension and shoulders don't look like they're in too much of a problem, you
376
00:19:42.650 --> 00:19:43.420
know, that
377
00:19:43.420 --> 00:19:47.750
elbow to spine angle looks pretty good there, let's see what it looks like
378
00:19:47.750 --> 00:19:49.120
dynamically.
379
00:19:49.120 --> 00:19:53.660
Alright, so now let's do face on first.
380
00:19:53.660 --> 00:19:59.000
Okay, so we go through to that follow through position, and there's where the
381
00:19:59.000 --> 00:19:59.820
hip should
382
00:19:59.820 --> 00:20:05.850
continue extending, but we can see no extension from that hip, all the
383
00:20:05.850 --> 00:20:07.980
extension is happening
384
00:20:07.980 --> 00:20:17.900
more excessively here at the knees and then getting some up in that spine.
385
00:20:17.900 --> 00:20:27.620
Again, you know, not a drastic or dramatic finish issue, I think most of his is
386
00:20:27.620 --> 00:20:28.300
down
387
00:20:28.300 --> 00:20:34.790
here in the release, if we look from here, he does a pretty good job of
388
00:20:34.790 --> 00:20:36.700
maintaining that
389
00:20:36.700 --> 00:20:44.650
angle of the hip compared to the foot, maintain some spine angle, shoulders
390
00:20:44.650 --> 00:20:46.420
aren't too bad,
391
00:20:46.420 --> 00:20:49.860
maybe a little shrug of that left shoulder, like left shoulder is not quite
392
00:20:49.860 --> 00:20:50.660
working around
393
00:20:50.660 --> 00:20:55.310
the body at that point, staying in protraction maybe a bit too long, but the
394
00:20:55.310 --> 00:20:56.140
big thing is
395
00:20:56.140 --> 00:21:04.050
that excessive movement of the knees moving, compensating for the hip action,
396
00:21:04.050 --> 00:21:04.940
and then
397
00:21:04.940 --> 00:21:08.540
the lack of hip extension there in the follow through.
398
00:21:08.540 --> 00:21:14.570
Okay, so looking at this follow through position, like going on there, we can
399
00:21:14.570 --> 00:21:15.740
see the weight
400
00:21:15.740 --> 00:21:20.340
distribution, right, she's very centered, trail foot is still flat, so that's
401
00:21:20.340 --> 00:21:21.380
why we're
402
00:21:21.380 --> 00:21:27.900
not getting full pelvis rotation, we can see arms aren't, didn't stay in front,
403
00:21:27.900 --> 00:21:28.020
there's
404
00:21:28.020 --> 00:21:33.630
not a whole lot of width there, in fact, I don't even know if I can get my arm
405
00:21:33.630 --> 00:21:34.100
into
406
00:21:34.100 --> 00:21:38.650
that flexible finish position, so it looks like a lot of the speed was absorbed
407
00:21:38.650 --> 00:21:38.980
up in
408
00:21:38.980 --> 00:21:43.130
the shoulder girdle, with a little bit of rotation, definitely not a lot of
409
00:21:43.130 --> 00:21:43.760
vertical
410
00:21:43.760 --> 00:21:53.760
stuff happening, all right, so first we'll look at this face on, so we can see
411
00:21:53.760 --> 00:21:54.560
starting
412
00:21:54.560 --> 00:22:00.460
kind of right in here, that body is done and all that speed gets absorbed from
413
00:22:00.460 --> 00:22:01.920
the arms,
414
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:07.940
so that's definitely, you know, there's not a lot of hip action going on, the
415
00:22:07.940 --> 00:22:08.640
hips stay
416
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:14.280
in a little bit of flexion, and definitely we don't get the extension through
417
00:22:14.280 --> 00:22:15.120
the legs,
418
00:22:15.120 --> 00:22:19.210
so that kind of fits the puzzle, now this is the one where she's kind of
419
00:22:19.210 --> 00:22:20.000
pulling those
420
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:26.040
arms in to decrease the lever arm, because if she kept her arms out wide, she
421
00:22:26.040 --> 00:22:26.840
would have
422
00:22:26.840 --> 00:22:31.790
to use like the bigger muscles to absorb the speed, instead of if she pulls it
423
00:22:31.790 --> 00:22:32.480
in close
424
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:42.390
that decreases, you know, the effort required from the body to move the club,
425
00:22:42.390 --> 00:22:42.840
she can do
426
00:22:42.840 --> 00:22:46.610
it much easier, you can move it just with your arms when it's in close a whole
427
00:22:46.610 --> 00:22:47.280
lot easier
428
00:22:47.280 --> 00:22:52.130
than when it's out there, when it's out there you're going to want to use the
429
00:22:52.130 --> 00:22:53.280
bigger muscles,
430
00:22:53.280 --> 00:23:05.480
so what do we see from the down the line, probably, so we're going to see that
431
00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:06.720
arms staying very
432
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:12.840
low, right, so that's a classic sign of the arm retraction kind of whipping the
433
00:23:12.840 --> 00:23:14.600
club around,
434
00:23:14.600 --> 00:23:20.450
so potentially that's a lead arm pull, just as much as it is a trail arm throw,
435
00:23:20.450 --> 00:23:20.960
when you
436
00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:24.830
see that lead shoulder kind of really pulling around like that, that'd be
437
00:23:24.830 --> 00:23:25.600
something to
438
00:23:25.600 --> 00:23:31.370
investigate, and it's just another view of what we see with not a whole lot of
439
00:23:31.370 --> 00:23:32.080
hitting
440
00:23:32.080 --> 00:23:36.850
it with the hip, so some sort of triangle 9 to 3 would probably work pretty
441
00:23:36.850 --> 00:23:37.520
well in this
442
00:23:37.520 --> 00:23:41.670
case, just to kind of get the sense of where we want the pelvis to finish and
443
00:23:41.670 --> 00:23:42.400
how we want
444
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:47.920
it to work through the hitting area, okay, so not a bad look and follow through
445
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:48.440
, not a
446
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:54.190
lot of shrugging, definitely lacking some spine extension, especially in the
447
00:23:54.190 --> 00:23:55.640
upper thoracic,
448
00:23:55.640 --> 00:24:01.410
that's kind of common, and we can see kind of lacking some of the mid thoracic
449
00:24:01.410 --> 00:24:01.960
right
450
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:08.050
bend, it's getting maybe a little bit of sag of that right hip, but overall not
451
00:24:08.050 --> 00:24:09.000
too bad,
452
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:17.000
let's see what it looks like dynamically, okay, so as he gets swinging you'll
453
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:17.480
see
454
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:22.840
going through there's kind of this little chase move of the upper body, that's
455
00:24:22.840 --> 00:24:24.760
when he's looking
456
00:24:24.760 --> 00:24:29.960
for a different way to absorb the speed, he could be going into extension and
457
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:30.360
that would
458
00:24:30.360 --> 00:24:36.440
create more of a fuller looking finish, but that extension would have to happen
459
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:37.400
from the
460
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:44.330
hips in the upper spine, he doesn't look like he wants to do that, from the
461
00:24:44.330 --> 00:24:45.560
down the line,
462
00:24:45.560 --> 00:24:54.900
there's kind of that more arm movement, so there's not a lot of kind of
463
00:24:54.900 --> 00:24:56.120
pressure happening,
464
00:24:56.120 --> 00:25:02.610
there's not a lot of movement in the core and the legs, but overall kind of
465
00:25:02.610 --> 00:25:03.720
geometry for an
466
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:09.730
upper body dominant swing, eight to bed, he doesn't like lose a lot of the
467
00:25:09.730 --> 00:25:11.160
integrity in the shoulder,
468
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:15.510
it's just not being powered enough from the body to carry it all the way to a
469
00:25:15.510 --> 00:25:16.360
full finish,
470
00:25:16.360 --> 00:25:26.440
not bad, okay so looking at a couple tour pros, we got body scan looking at hip
471
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:28.440
shoulders core
472
00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:37.770
and feet, so here we got Rory, if we go through from this follow through
473
00:25:37.770 --> 00:25:39.960
position, you'll see
474
00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:49.560
arms are staying out wide, kind of wrist, wrist or moving with it, so it's kind
475
00:25:49.560 --> 00:25:49.960
of like he's
476
00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:55.640
holding on to a cable that's pulling him and his body, his ribs are moving with
477
00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:56.680
it and extending,
478
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:03.610
his hip is moving with it and extending, he's getting through into that,
479
00:26:03.610 --> 00:26:05.800
getting pulled into a
480
00:26:05.800 --> 00:26:12.290
total body kind of rotational pattern, you'll see that the shoulders maybe a
481
00:26:12.290 --> 00:26:13.640
little bit of trail,
482
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:17.310
or lead, sorry trail shoulder hike, I always get confused in the follow through
483
00:26:17.310 --> 00:26:20.040
, but overall
484
00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:25.800
very good looking shoulder integrity, so if we go just to that
485
00:26:25.800 --> 00:26:35.800
finish position and you'll see he drifts a little bit out of the the side bend,
486
00:26:35.800 --> 00:26:37.000
that's part of why
487
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:41.840
that trail or that right shoulder had to have a little bit more of the shrug,
488
00:26:41.840 --> 00:26:42.760
kind of so there
489
00:26:42.760 --> 00:26:51.480
might be something going on in that sling there, but overall elbows shoulders
490
00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:52.440
maintain pretty good
491
00:26:52.440 --> 00:27:01.170
extension or width staying in front of the chest, so he hasn't collapsed there,
492
00:27:01.170 --> 00:27:02.120
his body has kept
493
00:27:02.120 --> 00:27:08.170
going with it, but not excessive just rotation, there's the vertical movement
494
00:27:08.170 --> 00:27:09.400
and extension of the
495
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:14.610
hip, overall great looking positions, all right finished positions are a little
496
00:27:14.610 --> 00:27:16.440
boring, but let's
497
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:23.150
at least at the tour level, so here we go from follow through taking him up
498
00:27:23.150 --> 00:27:24.360
into that finished
499
00:27:24.360 --> 00:27:29.600
position, you'll see lots of movement and flexibility in the hips, because he's
500
00:27:29.600 --> 00:27:31.400
actually getting past,
501
00:27:31.400 --> 00:27:37.410
let's see where he's compensating, because he's getting a lot of movement in
502
00:27:37.410 --> 00:27:37.960
the ankle,
503
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:45.010
but a lot of internal rotation at that hip, so potentially the abs and the core
504
00:27:45.010 --> 00:27:46.040
aren't absorbing
505
00:27:46.040 --> 00:27:53.090
enough, kind of avoids using the abs a little bit, you'll see that through
506
00:27:53.090 --> 00:27:54.760
there the hips keep
507
00:27:54.760 --> 00:28:01.560
rotating, the ankles rotate, but the ribs don't really move a lot through there
508
00:28:01.560 --> 00:28:02.760
compared to how
509
00:28:02.760 --> 00:28:09.640
much the arms move and compared to how much the hips move, so he does a good
510
00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:10.440
job of keeping the
511
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:17.310
shoulder integrity, but the differential between his chest and his hips is kind
512
00:28:17.310 --> 00:28:19.720
of low, his ribs
513
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:24.290
look like they're not moving quite as well as say we saw with Rory, but really
514
00:28:24.290 --> 00:28:25.400
good hip extension,
515
00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:29.840
lots of hip flexibility, little danger getting in the outside of the ankle that
516
00:28:29.840 --> 00:28:32.120
much, but if he was
517
00:28:32.120 --> 00:28:36.510
gonna not do that he'd have to absorb it more with the core or with the abs,
518
00:28:36.510 --> 00:28:38.920
again looking at
519
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:46.350
the positions I like to see that looks really good, shaft angle, elbow line,
520
00:28:46.350 --> 00:28:48.920
lead hip to foot,
521
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:52.200
all that stuff looks really consistent, that's probably part of the reason why
522
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:53.160
he's such a
523
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:59.390
consistent ball striker, okay so again when you're scanning these positions,
524
00:28:59.390 --> 00:29:00.840
just wanted to look
525
00:29:00.840 --> 00:29:03.210
through and talk through a couple, but when you're scanning these positions you
526
00:29:03.210 --> 00:29:03.880
're looking at
527
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:09.240
from the arm perspective, one's work top down, you've got your shoulder
528
00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:09.800
rotation,
529
00:29:09.800 --> 00:29:14.580
scapular position, especially looking at how much shrug and protraction, ret
530
00:29:14.580 --> 00:29:15.400
raction you got going
531
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:20.200
on, you got the abs versus the core, or sorry the abs and the core looking at
532
00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:21.880
glutes versus back,
533
00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:27.400
so hip extension versus back extension versus hip flexion going using the hip
534
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:28.520
flexors or quad,
535
00:29:28.520 --> 00:29:32.530
like little knee buckles, and then where is the spinous extending, is it
536
00:29:32.530 --> 00:29:34.520
happening in the thoracic
537
00:29:34.520 --> 00:29:40.580
spine, the ribs, or is it just happening, so is it happening in the thoracic
538
00:29:40.580 --> 00:29:42.360
spine, or is it happening
539
00:29:42.360 --> 00:29:47.640
down in the lumbar spine, so or is it happening throughout the whole spine,
540
00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:48.280
which would be more
541
00:29:48.280 --> 00:29:53.000
ideal, or is there no extension, it's just staying in flexion and getting all
542
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:54.520
of the lift from
543
00:29:54.520 --> 00:29:58.250
the arms, which is a common pattern you'll see, especially with some of your
544
00:29:58.250 --> 00:29:58.920
older guys,
545
00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:03.820
foot connection, are we ending up all the way on the outside of the toes, or
546
00:30:03.820 --> 00:30:04.760
are we ending up on
547
00:30:04.760 --> 00:30:10.590
the cuboid, if you're on the cuboid you'll have a little bit of inversion of
548
00:30:10.590 --> 00:30:12.440
the foot, or getting
549
00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:16.320
to the outside of the foot, but not like a Jordan speed, or you know all the
550
00:30:16.320 --> 00:30:17.160
way on the outside of
551
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:21.110
the ankle, and then is the trail foot fully extended, is the knee fully
552
00:30:21.110 --> 00:30:23.720
extended, those can give you
553
00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:26.910
insights into how they're using that right leg, are they going through
554
00:30:26.910 --> 00:30:28.440
extension, or are they just
555
00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:35.280
turning, so if I'm going through like a triple extension pattern, then as I'm
556
00:30:35.280 --> 00:30:36.760
going through,
557
00:30:36.760 --> 00:30:40.810
this foot is kind of pushing, that knee is pushing, all that is done, so that I
558
00:30:40.810 --> 00:30:42.440
'm getting full glute
559
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:49.230
activity there, where if I kind of stay level and kind of spin more, then that
560
00:30:49.230 --> 00:30:51.080
foot will tend to
561
00:30:51.080 --> 00:30:55.880
kick back, kind of like so, so you'll see by the finish position that there's a
562
00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:57.320
blend of rotation,
563
00:30:57.320 --> 00:31:03.880
as well as vertical force. So Michael Manavian posted a picture a little while
564
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:04.280
back, I thought
565
00:31:04.280 --> 00:31:09.010
this would be perfect for the finish position, it was kind of an attack at Nick
566
00:31:09.010 --> 00:31:10.040
Faldo, at least
567
00:31:10.040 --> 00:31:14.380
that's how I interpreted it, but it is interesting to see this is what happened
568
00:31:14.380 --> 00:31:16.200
throughout his career,
569
00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:20.680
you can you can see over here on the right is young Nick Faldo, you can see
570
00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:22.040
full hip and leg
571
00:31:22.040 --> 00:31:27.530
extension, you know maybe elbow is a little high in shafts oracle, but that was
572
00:31:27.530 --> 00:31:28.760
a little bit more
573
00:31:28.760 --> 00:31:35.250
part classic with that, the swing style in that day, but lots of rotation, lots
574
00:31:35.250 --> 00:31:36.200
of extension,
575
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:41.220
and you'll see throughout the years he got less hip extension, less spine
576
00:31:41.220 --> 00:31:42.680
extension,
577
00:31:43.400 --> 00:31:48.750
so the arm might be a little bit higher, these are pretty close to the same,
578
00:31:48.750 --> 00:31:50.200
but you can just see
579
00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:56.190
dynamically there's a lot less going on in the core, now it's no secret that he
580
00:31:56.190 --> 00:31:58.040
kind of prioritized
581
00:31:58.040 --> 00:32:05.090
accuracy over power, and so using his body less effectively didn't really hurt
582
00:32:05.090 --> 00:32:06.040
his goals, but it
583
00:32:06.040 --> 00:32:09.980
probably shortened his career because he started getting lapped in terms of
584
00:32:09.980 --> 00:32:11.720
distance, so just thought
585
00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:18.770
that was an interesting thing, interesting way to look at what like how you can
586
00:32:18.770 --> 00:32:19.560
use the finish
587
00:32:19.560 --> 00:32:22.470
just to see all right how much of their body are they using, are they using
588
00:32:22.470 --> 00:32:23.480
their whole body to
589
00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:29.440
swing this club or are they just using their arms, okay so now with Mr. Good
590
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:31.000
looking swing here,
591
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:37.930
pretty much all the key checkpoints maybe a little bit going on there, maybe a
592
00:32:37.930 --> 00:32:39.880
little bit of kind of
593
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:47.520
excessive rotation here, maybe not quite some hip extension, let's look at it
594
00:32:47.520 --> 00:32:48.680
dynamically,
595
00:32:48.680 --> 00:33:00.840
okay so from this follow-through position we can see kind of coming out of the
596
00:33:00.840 --> 00:33:01.560
extension of the
597
00:33:01.560 --> 00:33:08.190
hips instead of continuing to go into it, so again a little like excessive
598
00:33:08.190 --> 00:33:10.440
extension from the legs,
599
00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:15.490
not quite as much, so excessive extension from the knees, not quite as much
600
00:33:15.490 --> 00:33:16.600
from the hips,
601
00:33:16.600 --> 00:33:27.520
so that's where we'll see through there it's kind of like mostly rotation
602
00:33:27.520 --> 00:33:28.680
instead of having a little
603
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:32.280
bit more of the vertical force, if the vertical was happening from the legs
604
00:33:32.280 --> 00:33:33.560
then he might have to have
605
00:33:33.560 --> 00:33:40.610
a little bit more rotation from the ribs, so he gets a little excess happening
606
00:33:40.610 --> 00:33:41.960
at the knees and a
607
00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:46.760
little excess happening at the shoulders, those are both kind of avoiding this
608
00:33:46.760 --> 00:33:49.160
hip and core part of
609
00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:54.350
the equation just a little bit, but overall really good looking move, all right
610
00:33:54.350 --> 00:33:55.400
our main brooks,
611
00:33:55.400 --> 00:34:03.160
so brooks here we've got very little pelvis rotation, more borax and shoulder
612
00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:04.440
rotation,
613
00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:10.930
don't even get to some of the checkpoints but the arms stay in front, not a ton
614
00:34:10.930 --> 00:34:11.800
of shrugging,
615
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:17.120
maybe not a lot of hip extension but not too shabby, let's see what it looks
616
00:34:17.120 --> 00:34:18.520
like dynamically,
617
00:34:18.520 --> 00:34:25.570
all right so looking at it dynamically, this is a good one for just kind of
618
00:34:25.570 --> 00:34:26.200
understanding
619
00:34:26.200 --> 00:34:30.860
this whole find the fixed point and what's moving, what's not idea, so on the
620
00:34:30.860 --> 00:34:33.000
way through you'll see
621
00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:37.130
if you look at the right ankle just stare right here where the mouse is, if you
622
00:34:37.130 --> 00:34:38.280
look at that right
623
00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:42.090
ankle there's not a lot of movement, if you look at the knee that right knee
624
00:34:42.090 --> 00:34:43.080
there's not a lot of
625
00:34:43.080 --> 00:34:46.560
movement, if you look at the hip there's not a lot of movement, he's basically
626
00:34:46.560 --> 00:34:47.720
locked that right leg
627
00:34:47.720 --> 00:34:52.570
against the ground, that's the fixed point for his shoulder to then kind of
628
00:34:52.570 --> 00:34:53.720
throw past, so you'll
629
00:34:53.720 --> 00:35:01.480
see that right arm extension and kind of internal rotation whip the club over
630
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:03.320
all through there,
631
00:35:03.320 --> 00:35:08.840
so he's created this fixed point down here around his pelvis, probably into his
632
00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:09.800
ribs so that the
633
00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:18.610
shoulder can internally rotate even faster, so we don't get, this probably is
634
00:35:18.610 --> 00:35:20.600
little rotation
635
00:35:20.600 --> 00:35:26.360
of the pelvis as I've seen, maybe it's a little bit more there, but overall
636
00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:27.880
this is very much an
637
00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:32.140
upper body dominant swing with a lower body brake or lower body support or
638
00:35:32.140 --> 00:35:34.440
encouraging that upper
639
00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:39.780
body movement, now it's pretty, I would expect to see a lot more early
640
00:35:39.780 --> 00:35:41.480
extension, but he gets
641
00:35:41.480 --> 00:35:45.720
more of that the shallowing and early extension movement from his upper body
642
00:35:45.720 --> 00:35:46.600
moving backward
643
00:35:46.600 --> 00:35:51.790
rather than his legs moving in, he kind of keeps that lower body very fixed,
644
00:35:51.790 --> 00:35:52.600
that probably helps
645
00:35:52.600 --> 00:35:58.210
minimize some of the chaos but it also limits some of the power, all right,
646
00:35:58.210 --> 00:35:59.320
looking at this position
647
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:04.790
other than maybe, okay we've got a vertical shaft and maybe the elbow's touch
648
00:36:04.790 --> 00:36:05.800
high, but overall
649
00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:13.070
good integrity in the shoulder is good symmetric extension, good location there
650
00:36:13.070 --> 00:36:14.120
, maybe a
651
00:36:14.120 --> 00:36:20.920
tad on the outside of the foot, so maybe a little excessive lower body rotation
652
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:21.400
action,
653
00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:26.760
because we can see this foot and this foot, let's take a look at it dynamically
654
00:36:26.760 --> 00:36:29.240
, so from the face on
655
00:36:31.080 --> 00:36:36.710
view, he's kind of deceiving us here in the finish position, because if we look
656
00:36:36.710 --> 00:36:38.040
at it through
657
00:36:38.040 --> 00:36:43.660
there, not a lot of hip extension, definitely more of a rotation movement, but
658
00:36:43.660 --> 00:36:44.760
then he kind of
659
00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:49.740
masks it to get into a really good looking finish position, so glad we got this
660
00:36:49.740 --> 00:36:51.080
one in here, he'll
661
00:36:51.080 --> 00:36:56.060
show you how when you're looking at the release, you've got to look at it in
662
00:36:56.060 --> 00:36:57.400
kind of the purity
663
00:36:57.400 --> 00:37:00.990
of what's happening in the release, because sometimes what they do is that they
664
00:37:00.990 --> 00:37:01.480
kind of
665
00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:05.490
do a move that isn't great and then they kind of fake it and get to the
666
00:37:05.490 --> 00:37:06.520
position that they
667
00:37:06.520 --> 00:37:13.930
think they should, so if we look at it more through there, kind of upper body
668
00:37:13.930 --> 00:37:15.080
dominant,
669
00:37:15.080 --> 00:37:21.570
club kind of whips over and then he gets into that more body movement, so the
670
00:37:21.570 --> 00:37:22.200
timing
671
00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:30.760
isn't really what we would expect to see or what we saw with Rory and Colin, so
672
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:37.320
he's got the physical capability to get there, means that it's more of a
673
00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:39.000
coordination/movement
674
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:44.960
pattern rather than avoiding it. All right, and then one of the best, great
675
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:46.120
extension, look at that
676
00:37:46.680 --> 00:37:52.840
tiptoe leg extension, we had a touch shoulder, we had kind of a higher finish,
677
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:53.720
let's look at the
678
00:37:53.720 --> 00:38:00.770
great Jack Nicholas dynamically, all right, dynamically, we got Golden Bear
679
00:38:00.770 --> 00:38:03.240
getting into all
680
00:38:03.240 --> 00:38:07.300
these classic positions, come on, okay, so we get into that follow through
681
00:38:07.300 --> 00:38:08.360
position and then
682
00:38:10.040 --> 00:38:16.000
just a little bit of arm extension, so potentially he would have had to absorb
683
00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:17.320
a little bit more in
684
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:23.150
that shoulder girdle, he's got a little shrug going on there, so that shrug and
685
00:38:23.150 --> 00:38:24.360
lift is kind of the
686
00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:29.110
way that he's using his upper trap and deltoids to kind of absorb it versus if
687
00:38:29.110 --> 00:38:30.520
he had those shoulders
688
00:38:30.520 --> 00:38:35.770
kind of more retracted and spinning around, he would be doing it more from the
689
00:38:35.770 --> 00:38:37.480
core and he'd feel
690
00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:44.850
kind of a little bit more wit through there, but great hip extension, again, it
691
00:38:44.850 --> 00:38:46.680
's a non-critical
692
00:38:46.680 --> 00:38:52.200
aspect, be curious if he has any shoulder or neck issues at this point, but
693
00:38:52.200 --> 00:39:02.040
he had to find any flaws in this guy's movement, but my job is to help you just
694
00:39:02.040 --> 00:39:03.320
look at the movement
695
00:39:03.320 --> 00:39:09.510
objectively and not get too swayed by who's doing it or how well it's working,
696
00:39:09.510 --> 00:39:10.280
if we're looking,
697
00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:15.960
if we're scanning each of our key segments, looks good, looks good, looks good,
698
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:16.760
could be slightly
699
00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:20.850
improved, but looks pretty good, so hopefully this whole series has helped you
700
00:39:20.850 --> 00:39:21.720
come up with a
701
00:39:21.720 --> 00:39:27.420
different way to look at movement and giving you some ideas on how to analyze
702
00:39:27.420 --> 00:39:28.600
the golf swing
703
00:39:28.600 --> 00:39:32.940
based on the key positional references as well as what's happening dynamically
704
00:39:32.940 --> 00:39:33.400
through those
705
00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:39.640
phases so that you can understand those key positional checkpoints may be even
706
00:39:39.640 --> 00:39:40.360
a little bit
707
00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:45.690
deeper. As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email or
708
00:39:45.690 --> 00:39:46.600
comment and
709
00:39:46.600 --> 00:39:52.360
look forward to checking out the second part of level two when we start diving
710
00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:53.720
into the 3D graphs
711
00:39:53.720 --> 00:39:54.760
coming up soon.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.880
All right, coaches, here we go with the last installment of the position
2
00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:06.740
program, looking
3
00:00:06.740 --> 00:00:08.100
at P10.
4
00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:10.280
This is the finished position.
5
00:00:10.280 --> 00:00:16.310
So we are going to keep it in the context of arms versus body, bracing versus
6
00:00:16.310 --> 00:00:17.180
coasting
7
00:00:17.180 --> 00:00:21.640
and a little bit of revealing the path and things like that.
8
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.980
But this is really an extension of looking at P8, but it can give us some
9
00:00:25.980 --> 00:00:26.860
details that
10
00:00:26.860 --> 00:00:31.720
we might not just see from looking at P8.
11
00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:36.140
So just keeping in context, the simple movement guide, we'll do our last little
12
00:00:36.140 --> 00:00:37.960
recap of this.
13
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:42.900
So what's moving, what's not, whenever you're looking at movement, you can kind
14
00:00:42.900 --> 00:00:43.520
of think
15
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:47.560
about the muscles in the fascia and you can think about what part is moving.
16
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.280
In order to move, you have to have some anchor.
17
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:55.760
So some of the common fixed points or anchors are going to be the main joint.
18
00:00:55.760 --> 00:01:00.460
So the foot, the knee connect as an anchor, the pelvis, the hip, the ribs are a
19
00:01:00.460 --> 00:01:00.980
common
20
00:01:00.980 --> 00:01:07.040
one, the shoulder, the elbows and the wrist can actually get locked in place
21
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:07.680
and be a
22
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:09.480
fixed point.
23
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:14.200
So always think relationships versus just absolutes.
24
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:19.810
So local versus global, what's happening for one area might be a compensation
25
00:01:19.810 --> 00:01:20.520
for something
26
00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:21.520
nearby.
27
00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:26.750
So common areas to look at are the hips and the feet working together, the hips
28
00:01:26.750 --> 00:01:27.160
and the
29
00:01:27.160 --> 00:01:33.660
shoulders working together, the rib cage working with either the hips or the
30
00:01:33.660 --> 00:01:35.040
shoulders, the
31
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.280
shoulders and the wrists, I already said that.
32
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:42.130
So those are kind of some of the big relationships, but it's helpful to think
33
00:01:42.130 --> 00:01:43.360
about how one part
34
00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:46.040
of the body is influencing another.
35
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:52.200
And out versus outside in, each joint has stabilizers as well as movers.
36
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:57.180
So if we think about the first goal is to get the joint kind of centered or
37
00:01:57.180 --> 00:01:58.240
stabilized,
38
00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:01.640
then the big movers can act more forcefully.
39
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:07.720
If the joint is sloppy, you'll typically not be able to recruit as many motor
40
00:02:07.720 --> 00:02:08.440
units and
41
00:02:08.440 --> 00:02:12.280
you won't be able to get as much out of the movers.
42
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:16.640
Superarms is not so much related to this, although one key thing is a lot of
43
00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:17.240
golfers
44
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.730
will pull their arms in closer as they get to the finish position to kind of
45
00:02:20.730 --> 00:02:21.280
take some
46
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.720
of the load off of their body.
47
00:02:25.720 --> 00:02:28.820
That's commonly, we'll talk about it a little bit later, but that's commonly
48
00:02:28.820 --> 00:02:29.960
kind of a bracing
49
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:33.920
and using more of the shoulders versus using more of the core.
50
00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:38.670
So we'll get little glimpses at the finish position as far as what they were
51
00:02:38.670 --> 00:02:39.400
thinking
52
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:44.920
about both the path and the face, or sorry, path and how they create speed, but
53
00:02:44.920 --> 00:02:45.360
not much
54
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:46.960
with the face control.
55
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.480
That's kind of over at P8.
56
00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:53.000
What gets loaded gets unloaded.
57
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:59.060
So this is a great place to look at, well, what is this golfer doing to end the
58
00:02:59.060 --> 00:03:00.000
movement?
59
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.160
You can see what they like to move and what they don't like to move.
60
00:03:03.160 --> 00:03:08.270
That might help you influence what's going on down in the more important phases
61
00:03:08.270 --> 00:03:08.600
.
62
00:03:08.600 --> 00:03:10.760
Same thing with working the pattern backwards.
63
00:03:10.760 --> 00:03:13.810
If you look at what's moving into the finish, you can figure out what they
64
00:03:13.810 --> 00:03:14.600
might be avoiding
65
00:03:14.600 --> 00:03:18.720
or what their preferences are.
66
00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:22.100
And then, of course, pushing the car analogy, that's what we want to use, the
67
00:03:22.100 --> 00:03:22.760
big guys to
68
00:03:22.760 --> 00:03:23.840
absorb force.
69
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.280
So we should be seeing some of the big guys moving here in the finish.
70
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.880
So all of them get involved in this.
71
00:03:30.880 --> 00:03:31.880
All right.
72
00:03:31.880 --> 00:03:37.080
So just a quick recap, we've got P1 through 4, which is the backswing.
73
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.880
Main goals, if you've got all the individual power points, you can see the
74
00:03:40.880 --> 00:03:41.720
details, but
75
00:03:41.720 --> 00:03:48.770
main goals are shifting pressure and kind of loading up while maintaining a
76
00:03:48.770 --> 00:03:49.480
center or
77
00:03:49.480 --> 00:03:52.920
centered pivot in some sense.
78
00:03:52.920 --> 00:03:56.480
So not much vertical lateral movement.
79
00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:03.790
And then organizing the face and path so that we're in position to organize the
80
00:04:03.790 --> 00:04:04.520
path in
81
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:10.560
the face during that first phase of the downswing.
82
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:16.440
So first phase of the downswing, we've got P5 through 10 here.
83
00:04:16.440 --> 00:04:21.370
So early part of the downswing, we're trying to apply max pressure into that
84
00:04:21.370 --> 00:04:22.080
lead foot
85
00:04:22.080 --> 00:04:29.290
while maintaining lag or increasing some of the wrist and shoulder stretch
86
00:04:29.290 --> 00:04:30.200
during that
87
00:04:30.200 --> 00:04:31.200
downswing.
88
00:04:31.200 --> 00:04:34.350
So we're going to lead that movement more from the core, we're trying to
89
00:04:34.350 --> 00:04:35.280
already start
90
00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:41.810
organizing the face so that by this shaft parallel checkpoint, we've got our
91
00:04:41.810 --> 00:04:42.600
body creating
92
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:48.260
a lot of the speed, but the club and arms are in a good position where we can
93
00:04:48.260 --> 00:04:49.000
then get
94
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:52.360
some shaft lean and good compression at impact.
95
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:57.080
As we release through to this finish position, we've got the bracing going on
96
00:04:57.080 --> 00:04:58.000
maintaining
97
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:03.540
the spine angle, centerness of our hub or centerness of our pivot.
98
00:05:03.540 --> 00:05:08.850
And then as we look in this follow through, we can kind of see the main like
99
00:05:08.850 --> 00:05:09.680
the after
100
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.510
effects of where we're using our body, where we're using our arms, what was our
101
00:05:13.510 --> 00:05:15.360
swing direction,
102
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.320
we'll get some cues there.
103
00:05:18.320 --> 00:05:27.120
So there's our quick recap of the release or repeat the last video that we shot
104
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:27.560
.
105
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:33.520
So stable pelvis slide, arms extending through impact to create this flat spot,
106
00:05:33.520 --> 00:05:34.640
more extended
107
00:05:34.640 --> 00:05:38.440
trail wrist or flex lead wrist at impact than it set up.
108
00:05:38.440 --> 00:05:42.160
So if they were really strong, they might work more towards the neutral.
109
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.600
If they were really weak, they'll have an exaggerated position.
110
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:51.510
But getting the wrist more in that movement there helps with squaring the club
111
00:05:51.510 --> 00:05:52.240
face and
112
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:58.520
creating shaft lean given body driven pivot.
113
00:05:58.520 --> 00:06:01.760
The dominant normal force down at impact is pretty much unavoidable.
114
00:06:01.760 --> 00:06:06.850
The key is to get it happening more from body rotation pulling on the club
115
00:06:06.850 --> 00:06:07.800
versus just
116
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:11.520
the arms pulling on the club.
117
00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:13.760
The shaft lean and looking at the impact line.
118
00:06:13.760 --> 00:06:19.320
So with the irons, shoulder, hip, shaft, hand, kind of all in line just after
119
00:06:19.320 --> 00:06:20.080
impact with
120
00:06:20.080 --> 00:06:27.620
the driver, it's more of the hip and shaft that helps with controlling dynamic
121
00:06:27.620 --> 00:06:28.720
loft and
122
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.560
getting maximum compression, transferring energy to the golf ball.
123
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:37.840
For consistency, we want and for playability, we want our steeps and shallows
124
00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:38.640
to match our
125
00:06:38.640 --> 00:06:39.640
ball flight goals.
126
00:06:39.640 --> 00:06:45.490
So a little bit inside out for a draw, a little bit outside in for fade, but
127
00:06:45.490 --> 00:06:46.560
having a good
128
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:52.320
low point and depth control so that we have this nice gentle gradual bottom of
129
00:06:52.320 --> 00:06:53.360
the swing,
130
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.760
that's the flat spot that tends to give us consistency.
131
00:06:56.760 --> 00:07:04.800
Okay, when we decode the release, we kind of look at scoop versus tour.
132
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:09.690
So in the scoop release, you will typically see the trail wrist going towards
133
00:07:09.690 --> 00:07:10.280
flexion
134
00:07:10.280 --> 00:07:15.520
or rehinging or the arm going into excessive internal rotation.
135
00:07:15.520 --> 00:07:20.460
The lead wrist, you'll tend to see going towards extension, rehinging or ret
136
00:07:20.460 --> 00:07:21.440
raction of the shoulder
137
00:07:21.440 --> 00:07:27.160
blade and usually with no supination, so it'll tend to look more like that.
138
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:31.460
With the trail hand, we can get into, are they pushing more with the thumb on
139
00:07:31.460 --> 00:07:32.240
the club or
140
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:38.440
are they pushing more with that first finger or the first pressure point of
141
00:07:38.440 --> 00:07:39.760
this right index
142
00:07:39.760 --> 00:07:45.640
finger through the release, you want to see the elbows getting closer together
143
00:07:45.640 --> 00:07:46.240
versus
144
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.120
getting wider or further apart.
145
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:54.510
Typically when they get further apart, you'll see very limited supination when
146
00:07:54.510 --> 00:07:55.040
they're
147
00:07:55.040 --> 00:08:01.000
going together, getting closer together, it's easier for that lead forearm to
148
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.040
supinate.
149
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:08.150
From the body's perspective, we will tend to see with more the scoop, you'll
150
00:08:08.150 --> 00:08:08.960
tend to see
151
00:08:08.960 --> 00:08:14.480
a little bit of kind of a buckle in that lead leg, that's when I'm really kind
152
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:15.120
of anchoring
153
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:20.640
in the knee and the quad, it's a sign of getting more of my speed from my arms
154
00:08:20.640 --> 00:08:22.440
and you'll, or
155
00:08:22.440 --> 00:08:27.070
if I'm doing a lot with my arms, you will tend to see not a lot of body
156
00:08:27.070 --> 00:08:28.120
rotation.
157
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:32.620
Part of that is because the pec and the lat tend to have or have facial
158
00:08:32.620 --> 00:08:33.960
attachments onto
159
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:39.000
the pelvis, so the pec right here, the lat back here, but both of those are
160
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:40.040
going to not
161
00:08:40.040 --> 00:08:43.880
be as strong in this position as they would be in this position, so when you
162
00:08:43.880 --> 00:08:44.680
start firing
163
00:08:44.680 --> 00:08:49.560
your arms, you're going to line things up so that it can fire and work more
164
00:08:49.560 --> 00:08:50.840
effectively.
165
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:58.090
And then you got the geometric aspect, which is as I stand up, this is going to
166
00:08:58.090 --> 00:08:59.440
straighten.
167
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:03.030
So as this arm straightens, I need to create more distance, otherwise I would
168
00:09:03.030 --> 00:09:04.720
hit the ground.
169
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:09.800
So it does help control low point, it does help close the face, it helps go
170
00:09:09.800 --> 00:09:10.560
normal, but
171
00:09:10.560 --> 00:09:15.540
it creates this narrow bottom of the swing and typically has a faster club face
172
00:09:15.540 --> 00:09:16.320
closing,
173
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:18.760
which doesn't work as well for consistency.
174
00:09:18.760 --> 00:09:23.770
Okay, so as a reminder, P8, one of my favorite positions to analyze, you see a
175
00:09:23.770 --> 00:09:24.740
lot of what's
176
00:09:24.740 --> 00:09:31.230
going on here, how well they're using the body, the core, how well they're
177
00:09:31.230 --> 00:09:32.140
doing ulnar
178
00:09:32.140 --> 00:09:36.100
deviation, how well they're doing supination, this gives you a really good path
179
00:09:36.100 --> 00:09:37.320
checkpoint,
180
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.260
club face checkpoint.
181
00:09:39.260 --> 00:09:43.790
If you have the club face in view, I don't in these two videos, or these two
182
00:09:43.790 --> 00:09:44.620
pictures,
183
00:09:44.620 --> 00:09:49.560
you can see the spine angle, so how well they mained centered pivot, you can
184
00:09:49.560 --> 00:09:50.580
see remnants
185
00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:55.460
of the impact line, so what kind of axis tilt and body location they had at
186
00:09:55.460 --> 00:09:56.220
impact.
187
00:09:56.220 --> 00:09:59.920
This is one of my, one of the more telling positions, so you want to get really
188
00:09:59.920 --> 00:10:00.280
good
189
00:10:00.280 --> 00:10:01.900
at looking at it.
190
00:10:01.900 --> 00:10:05.860
But sometimes things will show up as we approach more of the finish position.
191
00:10:05.860 --> 00:10:10.610
So as we go to P10, that's kind of the end of the swing, we're going to scan a
192
00:10:10.610 --> 00:10:11.240
number
193
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:12.240
of different things.
194
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.060
You've got the lead hip to foot relationship.
195
00:10:15.060 --> 00:10:18.290
So if I had a vertical line right here, you can see that the hip is just
196
00:10:18.290 --> 00:10:20.100
slightly behind
197
00:10:20.100 --> 00:10:24.100
the foot, as opposed to directly on top of the middle of the foot.
198
00:10:24.100 --> 00:10:25.900
You can look at trail hip buckle.
199
00:10:25.900 --> 00:10:31.500
So how well has this hip stayed up?
200
00:10:31.500 --> 00:10:37.110
Basically, if I get into this position here, if I drop like this, that's called
201
00:10:37.110 --> 00:10:38.020
a trendelenburg,
202
00:10:38.020 --> 00:10:43.080
if you're looking at gate analysis, where basically I'm not using the glute med
203
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:43.540
ius on
204
00:10:43.540 --> 00:10:49.060
the side to control the level of the pelvis, and I'm kind of like sinking
205
00:10:49.060 --> 00:10:50.060
totally into
206
00:10:50.060 --> 00:10:51.060
the hip capsule.
207
00:10:51.060 --> 00:10:57.020
I'm kind of going until I get on stretch of the capsule instead of using the
208
00:10:57.020 --> 00:10:58.020
muscle.
209
00:10:58.020 --> 00:11:01.960
That can be a sign if I did that early, that's going to create some really big
210
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:02.580
low point
211
00:11:02.580 --> 00:11:03.580
issues.
212
00:11:03.580 --> 00:11:08.100
All right, so we got slight spine angle, so still slightly tilted.
213
00:11:08.100 --> 00:11:13.180
We're making sure that the shoulders haven't really shrugged, that the arms are
214
00:11:13.180 --> 00:11:13.780
staying
215
00:11:13.780 --> 00:11:14.780
out in front of the chest.
216
00:11:14.780 --> 00:11:16.820
We'll see that from the face on view.
217
00:11:16.820 --> 00:11:21.370
But one of the other good ones to look at here is that lead arm to shoulder
218
00:11:21.370 --> 00:11:22.220
height.
219
00:11:22.220 --> 00:11:27.270
So as I get into this finish position, especially from that down the line view,
220
00:11:27.270 --> 00:11:28.120
you can look
221
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.380
at looking for about a right angle in that lead arm.
222
00:11:33.380 --> 00:11:37.340
Some people will finish way down here, and others will finish way up here.
223
00:11:37.340 --> 00:11:43.300
So you'll kind of see these two kind of like that or like that.
224
00:11:43.300 --> 00:11:48.230
But if those arms stay in front and the body is rotating it through, then this
225
00:11:48.230 --> 00:11:48.940
will tend
226
00:11:48.940 --> 00:11:51.660
to form more of that right angle.
227
00:11:51.660 --> 00:11:56.340
Also you'll see the shaft position compared to the head.
228
00:11:56.340 --> 00:11:59.500
So if it's gone like way up, it'll be more vertical.
229
00:11:59.500 --> 00:12:03.550
That's usually a sign of an overly into out path, or some too much body
230
00:12:03.550 --> 00:12:04.420
extension on the
231
00:12:04.420 --> 00:12:09.780
way through, and then coming around more like this, that would be typically
232
00:12:09.780 --> 00:12:10.540
more of kind
233
00:12:10.540 --> 00:12:13.980
of a lead shoulder pull or retraction.
234
00:12:13.980 --> 00:12:19.010
Often times that's going to create more of an outside in path down at the
235
00:12:19.010 --> 00:12:19.860
bottom or a
236
00:12:19.860 --> 00:12:21.740
little bit more steep.
237
00:12:21.740 --> 00:12:27.700
So that's where we're looking at this shaft to head/spinangle relationship.
238
00:12:27.700 --> 00:12:33.660
From this face on view, we can see the get full body rotation, especially
239
00:12:33.660 --> 00:12:34.660
looking at the
240
00:12:34.660 --> 00:12:36.260
hip to belt buckle.
241
00:12:36.260 --> 00:12:40.460
Are they internally rotating that lead hip, externally rotating that trail hip.
242
00:12:40.460 --> 00:12:44.940
Lead foot turnout, so we can see where the weight is on that foot.
243
00:12:44.940 --> 00:12:48.200
We can also see the body position compared to the feet, I don't know if that
244
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:48.820
listed there,
245
00:12:48.820 --> 00:12:53.370
but if your hips are more in the center of your stance, that can be an
246
00:12:53.370 --> 00:12:54.740
indication of maybe
247
00:12:54.740 --> 00:13:00.260
poor lower body mechanics or needing poor lower body mechanics to match a club
248
00:13:00.260 --> 00:13:00.660
face
249
00:13:00.660 --> 00:13:01.660
problem.
250
00:13:01.660 --> 00:13:05.780
This is where elbows in front of the chest.
251
00:13:05.780 --> 00:13:11.140
So basically as I get to that finish position, there should be still some good
252
00:13:11.140 --> 00:13:12.340
shoulder blade
253
00:13:12.340 --> 00:13:13.340
integrity.
254
00:13:13.340 --> 00:13:17.740
I don't want to have those arms kind of pulling in a lot, and I don't want
255
00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:19.020
those shoulders
256
00:13:19.020 --> 00:13:20.660
pulling up a lot.
257
00:13:20.660 --> 00:13:25.320
So if those arms stay out in front, which is good, sorry to say, interior
258
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:26.300
activation,
259
00:13:26.300 --> 00:13:31.300
then I'm going to continue to get my rib cage to move around a whole lot more.
260
00:13:31.300 --> 00:13:36.500
That tends to create some of this smoothness or width down at the bottom.
261
00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:39.780
Then lastly, you've got the extension of the hips and spine.
262
00:13:39.780 --> 00:13:43.700
So you can scan, are they getting into some extension?
263
00:13:43.700 --> 00:13:48.420
And if they are, is it happening uniformly throughout the spine and hips, or is
264
00:13:48.420 --> 00:13:48.980
it just
265
00:13:48.980 --> 00:13:51.020
happening at one part?
266
00:13:51.020 --> 00:13:55.480
So you'll see I'm not quite as extended through my upper thoracic, it's getting
267
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:56.220
better.
268
00:13:56.220 --> 00:13:59.100
But that's one of my physical restrictions.
269
00:13:59.100 --> 00:14:03.490
And in this particular swing, maybe not quite as extended through the hip as we
270
00:14:03.490 --> 00:14:04.180
might want
271
00:14:04.180 --> 00:14:06.460
to see, but overall not too bad.
272
00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:07.460
Okay.
273
00:14:07.460 --> 00:14:10.700
So quick summary of that, you've got basically looking at your hips, your core,
274
00:14:10.700 --> 00:14:11.420
your shoulders
275
00:14:11.420 --> 00:14:18.110
and your feet, hips, looking at pelvis rotation from the face on, and extension
276
00:14:18.110 --> 00:14:18.860
from the
277
00:14:18.860 --> 00:14:25.570
face on, from the core, kind of looking through the spine for a fluid curve,
278
00:14:25.570 --> 00:14:26.940
with side bend
279
00:14:26.940 --> 00:14:31.300
from the down the line and extension from the face on.
280
00:14:31.300 --> 00:14:38.100
And then the shoulders looking at minimal shrugging, not too much, pull one way
281
00:14:38.100 --> 00:14:38.460
or the
282
00:14:38.460 --> 00:14:42.580
other, although it's kind of still in front of the chest.
283
00:14:42.580 --> 00:14:47.530
Foot and ankle, that'll give you a little insight into is the rotation
284
00:14:47.530 --> 00:14:48.700
happening more
285
00:14:48.700 --> 00:14:51.500
from the knee and ankle, or is it happening more from the foot.
286
00:14:51.500 --> 00:14:52.500
Okay.
287
00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:57.540
So now let's dive into some of these favorite swings we've been analyzing here.
288
00:14:57.540 --> 00:14:58.940
So we got Alan first.
289
00:14:58.940 --> 00:15:04.480
If we just take a look at these two images, we can see that there's a lot we
290
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:05.340
can learn
291
00:15:05.340 --> 00:15:10.220
from this follow through that we might not have seen from just looking at the,
292
00:15:10.220 --> 00:15:10.860
or sorry,
293
00:15:10.860 --> 00:15:12.660
the finish compared to the follow through.
294
00:15:12.660 --> 00:15:17.750
So we can see by comparing the follow through the finish, the hips didn't quite
295
00:15:17.750 --> 00:15:18.820
get around,
296
00:15:18.820 --> 00:15:22.570
more of the extension is happening in the lower back, still quite rounded there
297
00:15:22.570 --> 00:15:22.820
in the
298
00:15:22.820 --> 00:15:28.820
upper back, shoulders are a little bit shrugged.
299
00:15:28.820 --> 00:15:35.310
And you know, he's kind of on the very outside of the middle of the foot, right
300
00:15:35.310 --> 00:15:35.540
?
301
00:15:35.540 --> 00:15:46.460
Okay, so if we take a quick look at that, so again, on the way through, we can
302
00:15:46.460 --> 00:15:46.740
see if
303
00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:51.730
we kind of scrub back and forth through there, there's a kind of lack of
304
00:15:51.730 --> 00:15:53.100
extension of that
305
00:15:53.100 --> 00:15:54.100
trail hip.
306
00:15:54.100 --> 00:15:59.820
So we'll see the ankle kind of come up in the leg, not necessarily straight
307
00:15:59.820 --> 00:16:00.660
ening the
308
00:16:00.660 --> 00:16:03.780
trail leg, not necessarily straightening.
309
00:16:03.780 --> 00:16:07.830
Now we'll see why he's getting onto the outside of that foot, he's not getting
310
00:16:07.830 --> 00:16:08.380
a whole lot
311
00:16:08.380 --> 00:16:11.300
of extension from that hip either.
312
00:16:11.300 --> 00:16:15.200
So potentially getting a little bit more hip tuck or bracing coming from the gl
313
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:15.580
utes would
314
00:16:15.580 --> 00:16:19.460
help clean up what's happening in both the knees and the ankle.
315
00:16:19.460 --> 00:16:25.950
Secondly, if we go through, we can see that right shoulder kind of really
316
00:16:25.950 --> 00:16:27.100
reaching with
317
00:16:27.100 --> 00:16:28.100
the club.
318
00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:31.120
He keeps the elbows kind of in front of his chest pretty good, but he does have
319
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:31.700
more of
320
00:16:31.700 --> 00:16:38.190
a shrug if we were able to see from the down the line, we probably see that
321
00:16:38.190 --> 00:16:39.300
space pretty
322
00:16:39.300 --> 00:16:45.800
closed off and we probably wouldn't see a really good maintenance of his spine
323
00:16:45.800 --> 00:16:46.500
angle.
324
00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:51.250
But you can see that there are definitely, okay, just as a general looks like
325
00:16:51.250 --> 00:16:51.940
he's kind
326
00:16:51.940 --> 00:16:57.320
of avoiding his hips, so we see some excessive compensations at the ankles and
327
00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:58.660
the shoulders.
328
00:16:58.660 --> 00:17:02.860
So that might be something we'd investigate on the lessensee.
329
00:17:02.860 --> 00:17:06.800
Alright, so Mr. Happy Feet looking at the finish, we can see not a whole lot of
330
00:17:06.800 --> 00:17:07.540
maintenance
331
00:17:07.540 --> 00:17:11.720
of the spine angle, very vertical, the trail hip, or sorry, the lead hip to
332
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:12.260
foot.
333
00:17:12.260 --> 00:17:15.820
You can see it's pretty much on top of instead of still in that angle.
334
00:17:15.820 --> 00:17:20.660
Something going on in that foot we'll look at because there's no extension of
335
00:17:20.660 --> 00:17:21.580
that ankle.
336
00:17:21.580 --> 00:17:26.330
And then shoulders, especially this right shoulder is up a little bit, but
337
00:17:26.330 --> 00:17:27.140
overall not
338
00:17:27.140 --> 00:17:38.060
too bad, okay, so dynamically, we can see there's just kind of an early
339
00:17:38.060 --> 00:17:39.260
extension pattern.
340
00:17:39.260 --> 00:17:44.220
Right, so there's a fair amount of vertical movement, but then on the way
341
00:17:44.220 --> 00:17:45.180
through that
342
00:17:45.180 --> 00:17:50.030
vertical movement kind of stops right about here and then it just goes into
343
00:17:50.030 --> 00:17:50.900
rotation,
344
00:17:50.900 --> 00:17:58.140
which is where we see that foot coming more off the ground.
345
00:17:58.140 --> 00:18:05.250
The brace or the ending of that arm extension there isn't happening as much
346
00:18:05.250 --> 00:18:07.060
from the obliques
347
00:18:07.060 --> 00:18:12.620
in the core, so much as it is just kind of pulling those arms across the body.
348
00:18:12.620 --> 00:18:17.250
Now he does a pretty good job of maintaining the shoulder position, so there's
349
00:18:17.250 --> 00:18:17.820
not like
350
00:18:17.820 --> 00:18:22.780
a really big collapse or shrugging.
351
00:18:22.780 --> 00:18:26.420
Let's see what's happening from that face on.
352
00:18:26.420 --> 00:18:32.040
So again, this is where we see kind of, okay, everything is spinning, that
353
00:18:32.040 --> 00:18:33.100
could be just
354
00:18:33.100 --> 00:18:37.350
the foot looks a little odd, there could be a restriction like an artificial
355
00:18:37.350 --> 00:18:37.980
right hip
356
00:18:37.980 --> 00:18:44.670
or something like that, preventing the external rotation so the knee has to go
357
00:18:44.670 --> 00:18:45.940
with the hip,
358
00:18:45.940 --> 00:18:49.700
and so that's why we see that foot going.
359
00:18:49.700 --> 00:18:53.290
As he gets into a finished position other than the early extension and kind of
360
00:18:53.290 --> 00:18:54.260
the overuse
361
00:18:54.260 --> 00:19:00.300
of the arms, there's nothing kind of glaring at that position.
362
00:19:00.300 --> 00:19:06.290
He's probably pretty consistent, but probably complains about some limitations,
363
00:19:06.290 --> 00:19:07.220
especially
364
00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:10.980
distance.
365
00:19:10.980 --> 00:19:11.980
Not an awful move.
366
00:19:11.980 --> 00:19:17.210
Okay, so if we're looking at the overturner in the garage, again scanning,
367
00:19:17.210 --> 00:19:18.100
first thing
368
00:19:18.100 --> 00:19:22.510
that jumps out, it could be because the shirt will look at dynamically, you can
369
00:19:22.510 --> 00:19:23.140
see there's
370
00:19:23.140 --> 00:19:26.740
not really an extension of those hips, right?
371
00:19:26.740 --> 00:19:33.230
The pelvis is still tipped forward, the hip is still in slight flexion, ankles
372
00:19:33.230 --> 00:19:33.700
kind of
373
00:19:33.700 --> 00:19:37.500
look okay, not a lot of knee extension, that makes sense with the hips, pretty
374
00:19:37.500 --> 00:19:38.100
good spine
375
00:19:38.100 --> 00:19:42.650
extension and shoulders don't look like they're in too much of a problem, you
376
00:19:42.650 --> 00:19:43.420
know, that
377
00:19:43.420 --> 00:19:47.750
elbow to spine angle looks pretty good there, let's see what it looks like
378
00:19:47.750 --> 00:19:49.120
dynamically.
379
00:19:49.120 --> 00:19:53.660
Alright, so now let's do face on first.
380
00:19:53.660 --> 00:19:59.000
Okay, so we go through to that follow through position, and there's where the
381
00:19:59.000 --> 00:19:59.820
hip should
382
00:19:59.820 --> 00:20:05.850
continue extending, but we can see no extension from that hip, all the
383
00:20:05.850 --> 00:20:07.980
extension is happening
384
00:20:07.980 --> 00:20:17.900
more excessively here at the knees and then getting some up in that spine.
385
00:20:17.900 --> 00:20:27.620
Again, you know, not a drastic or dramatic finish issue, I think most of his is
386
00:20:27.620 --> 00:20:28.300
down
387
00:20:28.300 --> 00:20:34.790
here in the release, if we look from here, he does a pretty good job of
388
00:20:34.790 --> 00:20:36.700
maintaining that
389
00:20:36.700 --> 00:20:44.650
angle of the hip compared to the foot, maintain some spine angle, shoulders
390
00:20:44.650 --> 00:20:46.420
aren't too bad,
391
00:20:46.420 --> 00:20:49.860
maybe a little shrug of that left shoulder, like left shoulder is not quite
392
00:20:49.860 --> 00:20:50.660
working around
393
00:20:50.660 --> 00:20:55.310
the body at that point, staying in protraction maybe a bit too long, but the
394
00:20:55.310 --> 00:20:56.140
big thing is
395
00:20:56.140 --> 00:21:04.050
that excessive movement of the knees moving, compensating for the hip action,
396
00:21:04.050 --> 00:21:04.940
and then
397
00:21:04.940 --> 00:21:08.540
the lack of hip extension there in the follow through.
398
00:21:08.540 --> 00:21:14.570
Okay, so looking at this follow through position, like going on there, we can
399
00:21:14.570 --> 00:21:15.740
see the weight
400
00:21:15.740 --> 00:21:20.340
distribution, right, she's very centered, trail foot is still flat, so that's
401
00:21:20.340 --> 00:21:21.380
why we're
402
00:21:21.380 --> 00:21:27.900
not getting full pelvis rotation, we can see arms aren't, didn't stay in front,
403
00:21:27.900 --> 00:21:28.020
there's
404
00:21:28.020 --> 00:21:33.630
not a whole lot of width there, in fact, I don't even know if I can get my arm
405
00:21:33.630 --> 00:21:34.100
into
406
00:21:34.100 --> 00:21:38.650
that flexible finish position, so it looks like a lot of the speed was absorbed
407
00:21:38.650 --> 00:21:38.980
up in
408
00:21:38.980 --> 00:21:43.130
the shoulder girdle, with a little bit of rotation, definitely not a lot of
409
00:21:43.130 --> 00:21:43.760
vertical
410
00:21:43.760 --> 00:21:53.760
stuff happening, all right, so first we'll look at this face on, so we can see
411
00:21:53.760 --> 00:21:54.560
starting
412
00:21:54.560 --> 00:22:00.460
kind of right in here, that body is done and all that speed gets absorbed from
413
00:22:00.460 --> 00:22:01.920
the arms,
414
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:07.940
so that's definitely, you know, there's not a lot of hip action going on, the
415
00:22:07.940 --> 00:22:08.640
hips stay
416
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:14.280
in a little bit of flexion, and definitely we don't get the extension through
417
00:22:14.280 --> 00:22:15.120
the legs,
418
00:22:15.120 --> 00:22:19.210
so that kind of fits the puzzle, now this is the one where she's kind of
419
00:22:19.210 --> 00:22:20.000
pulling those
420
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:26.040
arms in to decrease the lever arm, because if she kept her arms out wide, she
421
00:22:26.040 --> 00:22:26.840
would have
422
00:22:26.840 --> 00:22:31.790
to use like the bigger muscles to absorb the speed, instead of if she pulls it
423
00:22:31.790 --> 00:22:32.480
in close
424
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:42.390
that decreases, you know, the effort required from the body to move the club,
425
00:22:42.390 --> 00:22:42.840
she can do
426
00:22:42.840 --> 00:22:46.610
it much easier, you can move it just with your arms when it's in close a whole
427
00:22:46.610 --> 00:22:47.280
lot easier
428
00:22:47.280 --> 00:22:52.130
than when it's out there, when it's out there you're going to want to use the
429
00:22:52.130 --> 00:22:53.280
bigger muscles,
430
00:22:53.280 --> 00:23:05.480
so what do we see from the down the line, probably, so we're going to see that
431
00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:06.720
arms staying very
432
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:12.840
low, right, so that's a classic sign of the arm retraction kind of whipping the
433
00:23:12.840 --> 00:23:14.600
club around,
434
00:23:14.600 --> 00:23:20.450
so potentially that's a lead arm pull, just as much as it is a trail arm throw,
435
00:23:20.450 --> 00:23:20.960
when you
436
00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:24.830
see that lead shoulder kind of really pulling around like that, that'd be
437
00:23:24.830 --> 00:23:25.600
something to
438
00:23:25.600 --> 00:23:31.370
investigate, and it's just another view of what we see with not a whole lot of
439
00:23:31.370 --> 00:23:32.080
hitting
440
00:23:32.080 --> 00:23:36.850
it with the hip, so some sort of triangle 9 to 3 would probably work pretty
441
00:23:36.850 --> 00:23:37.520
well in this
442
00:23:37.520 --> 00:23:41.670
case, just to kind of get the sense of where we want the pelvis to finish and
443
00:23:41.670 --> 00:23:42.400
how we want
444
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:47.920
it to work through the hitting area, okay, so not a bad look and follow through
445
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:48.440
, not a
446
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:54.190
lot of shrugging, definitely lacking some spine extension, especially in the
447
00:23:54.190 --> 00:23:55.640
upper thoracic,
448
00:23:55.640 --> 00:24:01.410
that's kind of common, and we can see kind of lacking some of the mid thoracic
449
00:24:01.410 --> 00:24:01.960
right
450
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:08.050
bend, it's getting maybe a little bit of sag of that right hip, but overall not
451
00:24:08.050 --> 00:24:09.000
too bad,
452
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:17.000
let's see what it looks like dynamically, okay, so as he gets swinging you'll
453
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:17.480
see
454
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:22.840
going through there's kind of this little chase move of the upper body, that's
455
00:24:22.840 --> 00:24:24.760
when he's looking
456
00:24:24.760 --> 00:24:29.960
for a different way to absorb the speed, he could be going into extension and
457
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:30.360
that would
458
00:24:30.360 --> 00:24:36.440
create more of a fuller looking finish, but that extension would have to happen
459
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:37.400
from the
460
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:44.330
hips in the upper spine, he doesn't look like he wants to do that, from the
461
00:24:44.330 --> 00:24:45.560
down the line,
462
00:24:45.560 --> 00:24:54.900
there's kind of that more arm movement, so there's not a lot of kind of
463
00:24:54.900 --> 00:24:56.120
pressure happening,
464
00:24:56.120 --> 00:25:02.610
there's not a lot of movement in the core and the legs, but overall kind of
465
00:25:02.610 --> 00:25:03.720
geometry for an
466
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:09.730
upper body dominant swing, eight to bed, he doesn't like lose a lot of the
467
00:25:09.730 --> 00:25:11.160
integrity in the shoulder,
468
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:15.510
it's just not being powered enough from the body to carry it all the way to a
469
00:25:15.510 --> 00:25:16.360
full finish,
470
00:25:16.360 --> 00:25:26.440
not bad, okay so looking at a couple tour pros, we got body scan looking at hip
471
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:28.440
shoulders core
472
00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:37.770
and feet, so here we got Rory, if we go through from this follow through
473
00:25:37.770 --> 00:25:39.960
position, you'll see
474
00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:49.560
arms are staying out wide, kind of wrist, wrist or moving with it, so it's kind
475
00:25:49.560 --> 00:25:49.960
of like he's
476
00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:55.640
holding on to a cable that's pulling him and his body, his ribs are moving with
477
00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:56.680
it and extending,
478
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:03.610
his hip is moving with it and extending, he's getting through into that,
479
00:26:03.610 --> 00:26:05.800
getting pulled into a
480
00:26:05.800 --> 00:26:12.290
total body kind of rotational pattern, you'll see that the shoulders maybe a
481
00:26:12.290 --> 00:26:13.640
little bit of trail,
482
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:17.310
or lead, sorry trail shoulder hike, I always get confused in the follow through
483
00:26:17.310 --> 00:26:20.040
, but overall
484
00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:25.800
very good looking shoulder integrity, so if we go just to that
485
00:26:25.800 --> 00:26:35.800
finish position and you'll see he drifts a little bit out of the the side bend,
486
00:26:35.800 --> 00:26:37.000
that's part of why
487
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:41.840
that trail or that right shoulder had to have a little bit more of the shrug,
488
00:26:41.840 --> 00:26:42.760
kind of so there
489
00:26:42.760 --> 00:26:51.480
might be something going on in that sling there, but overall elbows shoulders
490
00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:52.440
maintain pretty good
491
00:26:52.440 --> 00:27:01.170
extension or width staying in front of the chest, so he hasn't collapsed there,
492
00:27:01.170 --> 00:27:02.120
his body has kept
493
00:27:02.120 --> 00:27:08.170
going with it, but not excessive just rotation, there's the vertical movement
494
00:27:08.170 --> 00:27:09.400
and extension of the
495
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:14.610
hip, overall great looking positions, all right finished positions are a little
496
00:27:14.610 --> 00:27:16.440
boring, but let's
497
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:23.150
at least at the tour level, so here we go from follow through taking him up
498
00:27:23.150 --> 00:27:24.360
into that finished
499
00:27:24.360 --> 00:27:29.600
position, you'll see lots of movement and flexibility in the hips, because he's
500
00:27:29.600 --> 00:27:31.400
actually getting past,
501
00:27:31.400 --> 00:27:37.410
let's see where he's compensating, because he's getting a lot of movement in
502
00:27:37.410 --> 00:27:37.960
the ankle,
503
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:45.010
but a lot of internal rotation at that hip, so potentially the abs and the core
504
00:27:45.010 --> 00:27:46.040
aren't absorbing
505
00:27:46.040 --> 00:27:53.090
enough, kind of avoids using the abs a little bit, you'll see that through
506
00:27:53.090 --> 00:27:54.760
there the hips keep
507
00:27:54.760 --> 00:28:01.560
rotating, the ankles rotate, but the ribs don't really move a lot through there
508
00:28:01.560 --> 00:28:02.760
compared to how
509
00:28:02.760 --> 00:28:09.640
much the arms move and compared to how much the hips move, so he does a good
510
00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:10.440
job of keeping the
511
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:17.310
shoulder integrity, but the differential between his chest and his hips is kind
512
00:28:17.310 --> 00:28:19.720
of low, his ribs
513
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:24.290
look like they're not moving quite as well as say we saw with Rory, but really
514
00:28:24.290 --> 00:28:25.400
good hip extension,
515
00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:29.840
lots of hip flexibility, little danger getting in the outside of the ankle that
516
00:28:29.840 --> 00:28:32.120
much, but if he was
517
00:28:32.120 --> 00:28:36.510
gonna not do that he'd have to absorb it more with the core or with the abs,
518
00:28:36.510 --> 00:28:38.920
again looking at
519
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:46.350
the positions I like to see that looks really good, shaft angle, elbow line,
520
00:28:46.350 --> 00:28:48.920
lead hip to foot,
521
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:52.200
all that stuff looks really consistent, that's probably part of the reason why
522
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:53.160
he's such a
523
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:59.390
consistent ball striker, okay so again when you're scanning these positions,
524
00:28:59.390 --> 00:29:00.840
just wanted to look
525
00:29:00.840 --> 00:29:03.210
through and talk through a couple, but when you're scanning these positions you
526
00:29:03.210 --> 00:29:03.880
're looking at
527
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:09.240
from the arm perspective, one's work top down, you've got your shoulder
528
00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:09.800
rotation,
529
00:29:09.800 --> 00:29:14.580
scapular position, especially looking at how much shrug and protraction, ret
530
00:29:14.580 --> 00:29:15.400
raction you got going
531
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:20.200
on, you got the abs versus the core, or sorry the abs and the core looking at
532
00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:21.880
glutes versus back,
533
00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:27.400
so hip extension versus back extension versus hip flexion going using the hip
534
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:28.520
flexors or quad,
535
00:29:28.520 --> 00:29:32.530
like little knee buckles, and then where is the spinous extending, is it
536
00:29:32.530 --> 00:29:34.520
happening in the thoracic
537
00:29:34.520 --> 00:29:40.580
spine, the ribs, or is it just happening, so is it happening in the thoracic
538
00:29:40.580 --> 00:29:42.360
spine, or is it happening
539
00:29:42.360 --> 00:29:47.640
down in the lumbar spine, so or is it happening throughout the whole spine,
540
00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:48.280
which would be more
541
00:29:48.280 --> 00:29:53.000
ideal, or is there no extension, it's just staying in flexion and getting all
542
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:54.520
of the lift from
543
00:29:54.520 --> 00:29:58.250
the arms, which is a common pattern you'll see, especially with some of your
544
00:29:58.250 --> 00:29:58.920
older guys,
545
00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:03.820
foot connection, are we ending up all the way on the outside of the toes, or
546
00:30:03.820 --> 00:30:04.760
are we ending up on
547
00:30:04.760 --> 00:30:10.590
the cuboid, if you're on the cuboid you'll have a little bit of inversion of
548
00:30:10.590 --> 00:30:12.440
the foot, or getting
549
00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:16.320
to the outside of the foot, but not like a Jordan speed, or you know all the
550
00:30:16.320 --> 00:30:17.160
way on the outside of
551
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:21.110
the ankle, and then is the trail foot fully extended, is the knee fully
552
00:30:21.110 --> 00:30:23.720
extended, those can give you
553
00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:26.910
insights into how they're using that right leg, are they going through
554
00:30:26.910 --> 00:30:28.440
extension, or are they just
555
00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:35.280
turning, so if I'm going through like a triple extension pattern, then as I'm
556
00:30:35.280 --> 00:30:36.760
going through,
557
00:30:36.760 --> 00:30:40.810
this foot is kind of pushing, that knee is pushing, all that is done, so that I
558
00:30:40.810 --> 00:30:42.440
'm getting full glute
559
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:49.230
activity there, where if I kind of stay level and kind of spin more, then that
560
00:30:49.230 --> 00:30:51.080
foot will tend to
561
00:30:51.080 --> 00:30:55.880
kick back, kind of like so, so you'll see by the finish position that there's a
562
00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:57.320
blend of rotation,
563
00:30:57.320 --> 00:31:03.880
as well as vertical force. So Michael Manavian posted a picture a little while
564
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:04.280
back, I thought
565
00:31:04.280 --> 00:31:09.010
this would be perfect for the finish position, it was kind of an attack at Nick
566
00:31:09.010 --> 00:31:10.040
Faldo, at least
567
00:31:10.040 --> 00:31:14.380
that's how I interpreted it, but it is interesting to see this is what happened
568
00:31:14.380 --> 00:31:16.200
throughout his career,
569
00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:20.680
you can you can see over here on the right is young Nick Faldo, you can see
570
00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:22.040
full hip and leg
571
00:31:22.040 --> 00:31:27.530
extension, you know maybe elbow is a little high in shafts oracle, but that was
572
00:31:27.530 --> 00:31:28.760
a little bit more
573
00:31:28.760 --> 00:31:35.250
part classic with that, the swing style in that day, but lots of rotation, lots
574
00:31:35.250 --> 00:31:36.200
of extension,
575
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:41.220
and you'll see throughout the years he got less hip extension, less spine
576
00:31:41.220 --> 00:31:42.680
extension,
577
00:31:43.400 --> 00:31:48.750
so the arm might be a little bit higher, these are pretty close to the same,
578
00:31:48.750 --> 00:31:50.200
but you can just see
579
00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:56.190
dynamically there's a lot less going on in the core, now it's no secret that he
580
00:31:56.190 --> 00:31:58.040
kind of prioritized
581
00:31:58.040 --> 00:32:05.090
accuracy over power, and so using his body less effectively didn't really hurt
582
00:32:05.090 --> 00:32:06.040
his goals, but it
583
00:32:06.040 --> 00:32:09.980
probably shortened his career because he started getting lapped in terms of
584
00:32:09.980 --> 00:32:11.720
distance, so just thought
585
00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:18.770
that was an interesting thing, interesting way to look at what like how you can
586
00:32:18.770 --> 00:32:19.560
use the finish
587
00:32:19.560 --> 00:32:22.470
just to see all right how much of their body are they using, are they using
588
00:32:22.470 --> 00:32:23.480
their whole body to
589
00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:29.440
swing this club or are they just using their arms, okay so now with Mr. Good
590
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:31.000
looking swing here,
591
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:37.930
pretty much all the key checkpoints maybe a little bit going on there, maybe a
592
00:32:37.930 --> 00:32:39.880
little bit of kind of
593
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:47.520
excessive rotation here, maybe not quite some hip extension, let's look at it
594
00:32:47.520 --> 00:32:48.680
dynamically,
595
00:32:48.680 --> 00:33:00.840
okay so from this follow-through position we can see kind of coming out of the
596
00:33:00.840 --> 00:33:01.560
extension of the
597
00:33:01.560 --> 00:33:08.190
hips instead of continuing to go into it, so again a little like excessive
598
00:33:08.190 --> 00:33:10.440
extension from the legs,
599
00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:15.490
not quite as much, so excessive extension from the knees, not quite as much
600
00:33:15.490 --> 00:33:16.600
from the hips,
601
00:33:16.600 --> 00:33:27.520
so that's where we'll see through there it's kind of like mostly rotation
602
00:33:27.520 --> 00:33:28.680
instead of having a little
603
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:32.280
bit more of the vertical force, if the vertical was happening from the legs
604
00:33:32.280 --> 00:33:33.560
then he might have to have
605
00:33:33.560 --> 00:33:40.610
a little bit more rotation from the ribs, so he gets a little excess happening
606
00:33:40.610 --> 00:33:41.960
at the knees and a
607
00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:46.760
little excess happening at the shoulders, those are both kind of avoiding this
608
00:33:46.760 --> 00:33:49.160
hip and core part of
609
00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:54.350
the equation just a little bit, but overall really good looking move, all right
610
00:33:54.350 --> 00:33:55.400
our main brooks,
611
00:33:55.400 --> 00:34:03.160
so brooks here we've got very little pelvis rotation, more borax and shoulder
612
00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:04.440
rotation,
613
00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:10.930
don't even get to some of the checkpoints but the arms stay in front, not a ton
614
00:34:10.930 --> 00:34:11.800
of shrugging,
615
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:17.120
maybe not a lot of hip extension but not too shabby, let's see what it looks
616
00:34:17.120 --> 00:34:18.520
like dynamically,
617
00:34:18.520 --> 00:34:25.570
all right so looking at it dynamically, this is a good one for just kind of
618
00:34:25.570 --> 00:34:26.200
understanding
619
00:34:26.200 --> 00:34:30.860
this whole find the fixed point and what's moving, what's not idea, so on the
620
00:34:30.860 --> 00:34:33.000
way through you'll see
621
00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:37.130
if you look at the right ankle just stare right here where the mouse is, if you
622
00:34:37.130 --> 00:34:38.280
look at that right
623
00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:42.090
ankle there's not a lot of movement, if you look at the knee that right knee
624
00:34:42.090 --> 00:34:43.080
there's not a lot of
625
00:34:43.080 --> 00:34:46.560
movement, if you look at the hip there's not a lot of movement, he's basically
626
00:34:46.560 --> 00:34:47.720
locked that right leg
627
00:34:47.720 --> 00:34:52.570
against the ground, that's the fixed point for his shoulder to then kind of
628
00:34:52.570 --> 00:34:53.720
throw past, so you'll
629
00:34:53.720 --> 00:35:01.480
see that right arm extension and kind of internal rotation whip the club over
630
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:03.320
all through there,
631
00:35:03.320 --> 00:35:08.840
so he's created this fixed point down here around his pelvis, probably into his
632
00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:09.800
ribs so that the
633
00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:18.610
shoulder can internally rotate even faster, so we don't get, this probably is
634
00:35:18.610 --> 00:35:20.600
little rotation
635
00:35:20.600 --> 00:35:26.360
of the pelvis as I've seen, maybe it's a little bit more there, but overall
636
00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:27.880
this is very much an
637
00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:32.140
upper body dominant swing with a lower body brake or lower body support or
638
00:35:32.140 --> 00:35:34.440
encouraging that upper
639
00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:39.780
body movement, now it's pretty, I would expect to see a lot more early
640
00:35:39.780 --> 00:35:41.480
extension, but he gets
641
00:35:41.480 --> 00:35:45.720
more of that the shallowing and early extension movement from his upper body
642
00:35:45.720 --> 00:35:46.600
moving backward
643
00:35:46.600 --> 00:35:51.790
rather than his legs moving in, he kind of keeps that lower body very fixed,
644
00:35:51.790 --> 00:35:52.600
that probably helps
645
00:35:52.600 --> 00:35:58.210
minimize some of the chaos but it also limits some of the power, all right,
646
00:35:58.210 --> 00:35:59.320
looking at this position
647
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:04.790
other than maybe, okay we've got a vertical shaft and maybe the elbow's touch
648
00:36:04.790 --> 00:36:05.800
high, but overall
649
00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:13.070
good integrity in the shoulder is good symmetric extension, good location there
650
00:36:13.070 --> 00:36:14.120
, maybe a
651
00:36:14.120 --> 00:36:20.920
tad on the outside of the foot, so maybe a little excessive lower body rotation
652
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:21.400
action,
653
00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:26.760
because we can see this foot and this foot, let's take a look at it dynamically
654
00:36:26.760 --> 00:36:29.240
, so from the face on
655
00:36:31.080 --> 00:36:36.710
view, he's kind of deceiving us here in the finish position, because if we look
656
00:36:36.710 --> 00:36:38.040
at it through
657
00:36:38.040 --> 00:36:43.660
there, not a lot of hip extension, definitely more of a rotation movement, but
658
00:36:43.660 --> 00:36:44.760
then he kind of
659
00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:49.740
masks it to get into a really good looking finish position, so glad we got this
660
00:36:49.740 --> 00:36:51.080
one in here, he'll
661
00:36:51.080 --> 00:36:56.060
show you how when you're looking at the release, you've got to look at it in
662
00:36:56.060 --> 00:36:57.400
kind of the purity
663
00:36:57.400 --> 00:37:00.990
of what's happening in the release, because sometimes what they do is that they
664
00:37:00.990 --> 00:37:01.480
kind of
665
00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:05.490
do a move that isn't great and then they kind of fake it and get to the
666
00:37:05.490 --> 00:37:06.520
position that they
667
00:37:06.520 --> 00:37:13.930
think they should, so if we look at it more through there, kind of upper body
668
00:37:13.930 --> 00:37:15.080
dominant,
669
00:37:15.080 --> 00:37:21.570
club kind of whips over and then he gets into that more body movement, so the
670
00:37:21.570 --> 00:37:22.200
timing
671
00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:30.760
isn't really what we would expect to see or what we saw with Rory and Colin, so
672
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:37.320
he's got the physical capability to get there, means that it's more of a
673
00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:39.000
coordination/movement
674
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:44.960
pattern rather than avoiding it. All right, and then one of the best, great
675
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:46.120
extension, look at that
676
00:37:46.680 --> 00:37:52.840
tiptoe leg extension, we had a touch shoulder, we had kind of a higher finish,
677
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:53.720
let's look at the
678
00:37:53.720 --> 00:38:00.770
great Jack Nicholas dynamically, all right, dynamically, we got Golden Bear
679
00:38:00.770 --> 00:38:03.240
getting into all
680
00:38:03.240 --> 00:38:07.300
these classic positions, come on, okay, so we get into that follow through
681
00:38:07.300 --> 00:38:08.360
position and then
682
00:38:10.040 --> 00:38:16.000
just a little bit of arm extension, so potentially he would have had to absorb
683
00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:17.320
a little bit more in
684
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:23.150
that shoulder girdle, he's got a little shrug going on there, so that shrug and
685
00:38:23.150 --> 00:38:24.360
lift is kind of the
686
00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:29.110
way that he's using his upper trap and deltoids to kind of absorb it versus if
687
00:38:29.110 --> 00:38:30.520
he had those shoulders
688
00:38:30.520 --> 00:38:35.770
kind of more retracted and spinning around, he would be doing it more from the
689
00:38:35.770 --> 00:38:37.480
core and he'd feel
690
00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:44.850
kind of a little bit more wit through there, but great hip extension, again, it
691
00:38:44.850 --> 00:38:46.680
's a non-critical
692
00:38:46.680 --> 00:38:52.200
aspect, be curious if he has any shoulder or neck issues at this point, but
693
00:38:52.200 --> 00:39:02.040
he had to find any flaws in this guy's movement, but my job is to help you just
694
00:39:02.040 --> 00:39:03.320
look at the movement
695
00:39:03.320 --> 00:39:09.510
objectively and not get too swayed by who's doing it or how well it's working,
696
00:39:09.510 --> 00:39:10.280
if we're looking,
697
00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:15.960
if we're scanning each of our key segments, looks good, looks good, looks good,
698
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:16.760
could be slightly
699
00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:20.850
improved, but looks pretty good, so hopefully this whole series has helped you
700
00:39:20.850 --> 00:39:21.720
come up with a
701
00:39:21.720 --> 00:39:27.420
different way to look at movement and giving you some ideas on how to analyze
702
00:39:27.420 --> 00:39:28.600
the golf swing
703
00:39:28.600 --> 00:39:32.940
based on the key positional references as well as what's happening dynamically
704
00:39:32.940 --> 00:39:33.400
through those
705
00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:39.640
phases so that you can understand those key positional checkpoints may be even
706
00:39:39.640 --> 00:39:40.360
a little bit
707
00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:45.690
deeper. As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email or
708
00:39:45.690 --> 00:39:46.600
comment and
709
00:39:46.600 --> 00:39:52.360
look forward to checking out the second part of level two when we start diving
710
00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:53.720
into the 3D graphs
711
00:39:53.720 --> 00:39:54.760
coming up soon.
