P4 to P5.5 - Transition

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.860
Alright coaches, here we go again. So now we're getting into the downswing.

2
00:00:04.860 --> 00:00:05.920
This is where I think

3
00:00:05.920 --> 00:00:10.930
a lot of the magic starts to really unfold. So this first one we're going to

4
00:00:10.930 --> 00:00:11.360
look at the

5
00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:16.400
transition which is breaking down the swing from about P4 top of the swing to

6
00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:18.640
about P5.5. So halfway

7
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:23.820
between arm parallel and shaft parallel. I think of this phase as largely

8
00:00:23.820 --> 00:00:25.440
revealing a lot of what

9
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:30.100
the golfer wants to do as it relates to power. So we got kind of two different

10
00:00:30.100 --> 00:00:31.280
themes there you've

11
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:36.160
got. Are they using the arms or are they using the body and are they kind of

12
00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:38.160
creating more of a leg

13
00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:43.320
or you know working sequentially from the ground up or are they creating more

14
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:44.400
of a cast where

15
00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:50.490
essentially everything is rotating around at the same speed. But we're also

16
00:00:50.490 --> 00:00:52.560
starting to organize

17
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:58.640
the the path. So you want to look at steeps and shallows as well as width. So

18
00:00:58.640 --> 00:00:59.920
wide versus narrow.

19
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:05.990
That's the three-dimensional perspective of looking at steeps and shallows. And

20
00:01:05.990 --> 00:01:07.120
then lastly looking

21
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:13.210
starting to look at the face closing strategy. So the the last two relate

22
00:01:13.210 --> 00:01:15.040
heavily to solid contact

23
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.000
and hitting the ball straight. We'll dig into that a lot more during the

24
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:20.240
release and impact part of

25
00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:27.400
this. But it starts to take shape during transition. Or one of the phrases I'll

26
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:28.720
use later is that the

27
00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:32.780
transition needs to match the release. One phrase I use with a bunch of my

28
00:01:32.780 --> 00:01:34.400
students is if I gave you

29
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.740
Rory McRory's release you wouldn't know where to get at the top of the swing

30
00:01:38.740 --> 00:01:39.840
and vice versa. If I

31
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:43.960
gave you a release to Rory McRory he probably wouldn't reach the same top of

32
00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:45.280
backswing position he

33
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:51.350
currently does. So you got to get to match the two together. Okay so now if we

34
00:01:51.350 --> 00:01:52.240
're looking at our

35
00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:57.630
simple movement guide kind of our reminders they're all bold. The downswing

36
00:01:57.630 --> 00:01:59.120
like I said is now where

37
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:03.190
everything is starting to take shape. But just running through them real

38
00:02:03.190 --> 00:02:04.000
quickly we're going to

39
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.270
look at what's moving what's not that helps you figure out where is the fixed

40
00:02:08.270 --> 00:02:09.680
point and where is

41
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:14.960
kind of the motor. Whether it's at the foot the pelvis the ribs or further down

42
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:16.720
the chain. You

43
00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:20.670
want to think both in terms of what's happening at that specific segment but

44
00:02:20.670 --> 00:02:21.680
also how it relates

45
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:27.750
to the whole system of movement which is looking at are you using the stabil

46
00:02:27.750 --> 00:02:28.880
izer muscles for the

47
00:02:28.880 --> 00:02:33.900
right job or are you using the movers for the right job. This is a big place

48
00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:35.200
where lever arms

49
00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:43.740
start to show up whether it's short for speed or long for force. The phase goal

50
00:02:43.740 --> 00:02:44.960
so during this

51
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:49.230
we'll talk about some of our goals in transition but during this phase we are

52
00:02:49.230 --> 00:02:50.480
primarily focused on

53
00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:54.440
power and kind of getting the path and phase going in the right in the right

54
00:02:54.440 --> 00:02:54.960
direction.

55
00:02:54.960 --> 00:03:00.480
What gets loaded gets unloaded so we're going to relate some of the top of the

56
00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:01.600
backswing ideas

57
00:03:01.600 --> 00:03:06.170
to this transition which is kind of the same as working the pattern backwards.

58
00:03:06.170 --> 00:03:07.040
So now we're

59
00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:11.520
starting to see why they might have had some moves at the top of the backswing

60
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:12.320
that might be

61
00:03:12.320 --> 00:03:18.150
you know untraditional or things that we potentially would want to change. And

62
00:03:18.150 --> 00:03:18.320
then

63
00:03:18.320 --> 00:03:24.120
pushing the car analogy is just relating to this sequencing of events. So if we

64
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:25.040
're creating power

65
00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:29.000
we want to start with the larger segments first and then work our way to the

66
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:30.400
smaller segments.

67
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:37.790
All right so as a quick recap we're going to look through the goals for the

68
00:03:37.790 --> 00:03:39.360
backswing.

69
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:45.440
So quickly we've got P1 to 2 we want to start we want to pressure shift and we

70
00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:46.800
're going to start

71
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:51.560
the face and path and start loading the muscles. This first movement should

72
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:52.880
kind of be initiated

73
00:03:52.880 --> 00:03:57.000
all the way down at the left foot. That's more of a sign that you're using the

74
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:57.840
whole body or

75
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:04.170
kind of a one-piece takeaway. P2 to 4 we're trying to lengthen the hand path.

76
00:04:04.170 --> 00:04:06.160
We're trying to shift

77
00:04:06.160 --> 00:04:11.450
our pressure without shifting our mass greatly. That helps set us up for being

78
00:04:11.450 --> 00:04:14.080
able to get the most

79
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:20.170
out of our muscular effort in transition. We want to load our glutes, our lats,

80
00:04:20.170 --> 00:04:20.800
our abs,

81
00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:26.560
our scapular muscles and start loading our wrists and and forearms but those

82
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:27.280
don't reach their

83
00:04:27.280 --> 00:04:33.120
maximum stretch until basically the end of transition. And then we want to make

84
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:33.840
sure that we're in

85
00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:40.480
somewhat of a position with our arms that we can shallow enough or get a proper

86
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:41.440
downswing sequence.

87
00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:50.160
Okay before we jump into the new new information let's look at a couple

88
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:51.200
questions that we had

89
00:04:51.200 --> 00:04:56.780
come in. One of them about Bryson and one of them just kind of some general

90
00:04:56.780 --> 00:04:58.720
ideas. So are you able

91
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:02.670
to demo or break down into micro moves the start of the takeaway to the back

92
00:05:02.670 --> 00:05:04.160
swing? For example small

93
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:10.600
movements of how the the left or the toe moves with the core and how do you

94
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:12.160
assess someone who

95
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:18.560
needs to lift the heel and others that don't just just his initial thoughts. So

96
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:20.560
it's kind of

97
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:26.650
okay I'm using the framework that I've talked a little bit about. So I'll

98
00:05:26.650 --> 00:05:28.320
answer that last question

99
00:05:28.320 --> 00:05:34.810
first of who needs to lift the heel and others that don't. So I would in

100
00:05:34.810 --> 00:05:36.640
general I tend to work

101
00:05:36.640 --> 00:05:40.600
under the order of I want to hit the ball solid then I want to hit the ball

102
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:41.600
straight then I want

103
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:47.670
to hit the ball far. And part of that is okay lengthening lifting the heel is

104
00:05:47.670 --> 00:05:48.960
has the potential

105
00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:53.090
of allowing me to create more speed in the downswing. Absolutely love it. It

106
00:05:53.090 --> 00:05:55.040
also has the potential

107
00:05:55.040 --> 00:06:01.360
to cause me to shift too much laterally off the ball. It has the tendency to

108
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:02.480
make me want to stand

109
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:08.850
up too much in the in the backswing and it could cause me to have some low

110
00:06:08.850 --> 00:06:10.480
point issues when we get

111
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:16.790
later into the release. So who needs to I would never use the word need but who

112
00:06:16.790 --> 00:06:18.240
could lift their

113
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:22.960
heel are people who have the ability to move their low point around so that if

114
00:06:22.960 --> 00:06:24.560
they start hitting the

115
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:29.460
ball thin start hitting the ball fat or they start leaving the face open then

116
00:06:29.460 --> 00:06:30.880
they can make that

117
00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:38.160
adjustment. So it's one of those things that if it looks like we're getting

118
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.480
short towards the top

119
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:45.500
of the swing especially from the lower body perspective like the the pelvis isn

120
00:06:45.500 --> 00:06:46.320
't rotating

121
00:06:46.320 --> 00:06:52.410
and it looks like the pelvis stopped rotating primarily because the lead hip

122
00:06:52.410 --> 00:06:54.000
ran out of external

123
00:06:54.000 --> 00:07:02.640
rotation. If that's the case then I'll typically try to raise the heel. But

124
00:07:02.640 --> 00:07:04.560
depending on the golfer

125
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.520
you have to work through and make sure that they have the skills to be able to

126
00:07:08.520 --> 00:07:09.360
handle that

127
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:13.830
longer swing. The other one that really comes into play there that I kind of

128
00:07:13.830 --> 00:07:14.880
forgot about with

129
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:22.000
when I was jotting my notes. I had a case of a golfer who had a shorter swing.

130
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:22.800
We experimented

131
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:26.720
with lifting the heel. The challenge with lifting the heel, lifting the heel

132
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:28.880
does help you lengthen

133
00:07:28.880 --> 00:07:32.300
the backswing. So it lengthens the hand path and gives you more time to apply

134
00:07:32.300 --> 00:07:32.880
that force.

135
00:07:32.880 --> 00:07:39.940
And it it can serve as a really good trigger for kind of pushing with that lead

136
00:07:39.940 --> 00:07:41.760
foot or spiking

137
00:07:41.760 --> 00:07:46.480
that lead foot early in transition. We'll talk about that later. But you have

138
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:47.440
to have a pivot

139
00:07:47.440 --> 00:07:53.510
that can support it. The place that I saw, the place that I would double check

140
00:07:53.510 --> 00:07:54.160
would be neck

141
00:07:54.160 --> 00:08:00.840
rotation. So more often than not when you look at like what's going to stop a

142
00:08:00.840 --> 00:08:02.320
person from lengthening

143
00:08:02.320 --> 00:08:07.220
the swing. I want to make sure that the neck can rotate so that if I turn my

144
00:08:07.220 --> 00:08:10.960
hips and my ribs away

145
00:08:10.960 --> 00:08:15.470
from the target, I could still kind of keep sight of the golf ball. So I've

146
00:08:15.470 --> 00:08:16.880
seen in a number of

147
00:08:16.880 --> 00:08:21.980
different cases that if you have neck issues, potentially lifting the heel puts

148
00:08:21.980 --> 00:08:22.960
more stress on

149
00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:27.480
the neck. And so it can disrupt how the shoulders would then move in transition

150
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:30.640
. Okay, so now the

151
00:08:30.640 --> 00:08:35.290
first question of are you able to demo or break down the micro moves, the start

152
00:08:35.290 --> 00:08:36.320
of the takeaway or

153
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:43.380
backswing. So that that's where the challenge is, especially when you start

154
00:08:43.380 --> 00:08:44.960
looking at the foot.

155
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:51.680
So you have to keep in mind, if you review kind of the last year's webinars,

156
00:08:51.680 --> 00:08:54.080
the foot has an

157
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:59.120
amazing adaptability to it. So how the foot moves depends on the capacity of

158
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:00.480
the foot, like how it

159
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:05.280
can move and the structure of the foot. So if someone has a heel that's

160
00:09:05.280 --> 00:09:07.120
inverted and a flat foot and

161
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:12.300
someone has an arched foot, those micro moves are going to be very different.

162
00:09:12.300 --> 00:09:15.280
So if the foot is

163
00:09:15.280 --> 00:09:21.440
rolled in, then essentially you're more at the end range of motion of what the

164
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:22.080
navicular and the

165
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.200
cuboid would do. So you're going to get more of the drive through the heel side

166
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:26.880
of the foot,

167
00:09:26.880 --> 00:09:33.040
where if you have the arched foot, you'll have more capacity to be able to kind

168
00:09:33.040 --> 00:09:34.080
of roll onto

169
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:41.140
that big toe. It'll be much easier to get the pressure going through the big

170
00:09:41.140 --> 00:09:42.400
toe as opposed to

171
00:09:42.400 --> 00:09:47.840
the heel or the outside of the heel. And that's just one part of it. You have

172
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:48.560
to look at how the

173
00:09:48.560 --> 00:09:56.690
ankle is moving or how the tibia fibula is moving. So it can get complex when

174
00:09:56.690 --> 00:09:58.080
you try to break it

175
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:02.040
down, and that's just at the foot, not even relating it up to what's going on

176
00:10:02.040 --> 00:10:04.080
at the hip. So part of

177
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:10.320
my whole goal is to help give you the basics of how each body segment moves,

178
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:11.360
what you'll commonly

179
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:15.320
see in the golf swing, and then hopefully spark some curiosity so that you'll

180
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:16.960
want to study more

181
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.490
in depth how these structures move so that you'll be able to problem solve a

182
00:10:20.490 --> 00:10:21.920
bunch of different

183
00:10:21.920 --> 00:10:27.260
scenarios. That's really what I think a good coach is able to do. If you know

184
00:10:27.260 --> 00:10:28.560
the goal of the swing

185
00:10:28.560 --> 00:10:34.050
phase and you know the body segments that are likely to help contribute to that

186
00:10:34.050 --> 00:10:35.440
goal, then you

187
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:43.050
can play around with ways that you would do it. So I think that's the last goal

188
00:10:43.050 --> 00:10:44.320
of raising the

189
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:49.200
left heel in the backswing. How should one approach if looking for distance and

190
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:50.080
you should you focus

191
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:56.150
on both if you're trying to get distance? So if you're trying to get distance,

192
00:10:56.150 --> 00:10:58.000
I would kind of

193
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:04.070
look at, okay, I'd look at, am I getting reasonable distance out of my current

194
00:11:04.070 --> 00:11:05.680
speed? So I'd look at my

195
00:11:05.680 --> 00:11:09.630
launch characteristics. If that's poor, then I'd probably try to work there

196
00:11:09.630 --> 00:11:10.560
before trying to get

197
00:11:10.560 --> 00:11:14.170
speed. But if I would then decide I want to get speed, I would either

198
00:11:14.170 --> 00:11:16.080
experiment with lengthening

199
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:22.760
the swing or trying to get more force early in the downswing. So if I'm trying

200
00:11:22.760 --> 00:11:24.320
to lengthen the swing,

201
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:30.560
then I'm looking at range of motion at the hips and the ribs and the shoulders

202
00:11:30.560 --> 00:11:31.440
and the neck and

203
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:37.820
the wrists. And the lifting of the heel relates to getting pelvis movement or

204
00:11:37.820 --> 00:11:39.360
getting hip range

205
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:46.570
motion. If I'm looking more at creating the force, then I'm looking at the

206
00:11:46.570 --> 00:11:48.080
speed of the backswing.

207
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:54.760
Can I load the muscles greater from like really trying to pull into the hips?

208
00:11:54.760 --> 00:11:56.800
Or I'd be looking

209
00:11:56.800 --> 00:12:01.110
at the sequencing during the downswing? How quickly am I getting the force into

210
00:12:01.110 --> 00:12:02.000
that lead foot?

211
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:08.000
Am I having appropriate kind of drop of the pelvis, rotation of the pelvis?

212
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:14.780
Stretch of the arms and shoulders? Or are those already starting to fire? So

213
00:12:14.780 --> 00:12:16.480
that's just kind of

214
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.430
like my rough hierarchy of how I would be looking to apply it. And then I

215
00:12:20.430 --> 00:12:21.120
bounce through

216
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:28.180
individual scenarios. In general, people who need more distance, it's usually

217
00:12:28.180 --> 00:12:28.800
either

218
00:12:28.800 --> 00:12:34.350
the body isn't doing a good job or the wrist and arms aren't doing a good job.

219
00:12:34.350 --> 00:12:35.840
So usually you can

220
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.380
get the majority of speed gain from there. And then the other one will be a

221
00:12:39.380 --> 00:12:40.480
little trickier.

222
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:49.200
And the last question was about Bryson. I'm sure you guys have all seen it, but

223
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:49.600
I thought I'd

224
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:55.730
talk through it a little bit. So the comment was basically about Bryson's talk

225
00:12:55.730 --> 00:12:56.800
of like, you know,

226
00:12:56.800 --> 00:13:00.750
kind of I pull the club back, I pull the club down, and then I pull the club up

227
00:13:00.750 --> 00:13:00.960
.

228
00:13:06.640 --> 00:13:10.590
It comes from the lat. So a lot of you can see I'm pulling down. So I'm pulling

229
00:13:10.590 --> 00:13:12.400
the club as hard

230
00:13:12.400 --> 00:13:17.790
down as I possibly can. So I pull up and I pull down and I pull back and away.

231
00:13:17.790 --> 00:13:19.120
And that's kind of

232
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:23.070
what I've done to create speed. And he talks about his lats being a big power

233
00:13:23.070 --> 00:13:23.600
source.

234
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:29.960
I absolutely believe that the lats are a big power source. But I just wanted to

235
00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:31.040
kind of pose

236
00:13:31.040 --> 00:13:37.120
this as a way of thinking about it. So the lats, but here's two different

237
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:38.160
exercises that use the

238
00:13:38.160 --> 00:13:43.810
lats. So one would be like a lat pull down or like a pull up, right, where my

239
00:13:43.810 --> 00:13:44.880
my lat is actually

240
00:13:44.880 --> 00:13:50.180
pulling the arm closer to my body, like this. Another exercise that uses the l

241
00:13:50.180 --> 00:13:51.440
ats really heavily

242
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:56.280
would be a deadlift. So in a deadlift, I would kind of lock those lats in, then

243
00:13:56.280 --> 00:13:57.760
now grab the bar,

244
00:13:57.760 --> 00:14:01.760
we'll do it traditional. And then as I'm pulling up, those lats are working

245
00:14:01.760 --> 00:14:02.080
more

246
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:06.760
isometrically to kind of maintain the stability of the shoulders so that my

247
00:14:06.760 --> 00:14:08.000
hips can drive through

248
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:15.920
my whole spine. So if we look at Bryson, which we'll do, which we'll do later,

249
00:14:15.920 --> 00:14:16.480
we'll see that

250
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:22.550
there isn't a lot of arm vertical movement. So even though he's describing is

251
00:14:22.550 --> 00:14:23.200
using his lats,

252
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:31.760
it's probably closer to that second model where the lat is transferring the

253
00:14:31.760 --> 00:14:33.280
speed from the hips

254
00:14:33.280 --> 00:14:38.720
and rather than being a big engine. So the lats will definitely be involved.

255
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:44.960
I find that a lot of golfers struggle when the lats are overly involved. And it

256
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:45.600
doesn't appear

257
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:50.240
when I'm looking at his swing that he's flirting with that barrier. So simply

258
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:50.960
put, I think it's

259
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:58.970
more of a feel versus real type perspective. All right, so if we jump into P4

260
00:14:58.970 --> 00:15:00.880
to P5 and a half

261
00:15:00.880 --> 00:15:05.550
transition, so basically from the top of the swing to roughly this position

262
00:15:05.550 --> 00:15:07.360
here at P5,

263
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:12.800
we'll talk through some of these, but some good visual checkpoints, we can look

264
00:15:12.800 --> 00:15:13.360
at kind of

265
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:19.440
the shoulder hip knee ankle line, seeing how that lines up with the iron, it'll

266
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:19.920
be fairly

267
00:15:19.920 --> 00:15:23.560
close to stacked up with the driver, it might be a little bit more behind. We

268
00:15:23.560 --> 00:15:24.400
can look at

269
00:15:24.400 --> 00:15:29.870
how much slide versus body turn by kind of the lateral movement of the pelvis

270
00:15:29.870 --> 00:15:30.800
versus where the

271
00:15:30.800 --> 00:15:34.820
belt buckle is pointing. And then from this perspective, we can start to look

272
00:15:34.820 --> 00:15:35.680
at this angle.

273
00:15:35.680 --> 00:15:41.750
Now keep in mind that this angle has a lot more to do with the movement of the

274
00:15:41.750 --> 00:15:42.000
shoulder and the

275
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:46.840
trail wrist rather than the lead wrist going into radial deviation. So if you

276
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:48.080
're looking at this

277
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.820
and you see that the club is out, don't just say I need to hold the angle. That

278
00:15:52.820 --> 00:15:54.240
's not what creates

279
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:58.510
that look. So from the down the line, we can start looking at steep shallows

280
00:15:58.510 --> 00:15:59.440
and look at shaft

281
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:03.390
plane, we can look at the spine angle, we can look at the shaft compared to the

282
00:16:03.390 --> 00:16:04.000
golf ball,

283
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:09.020
we can look at the shaft, whoops, compared to the spine, we can look at the

284
00:16:09.020 --> 00:16:10.240
trail arm position,

285
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:15.710
whether it's behind in front, whether this shoulder is elevated, whether there

286
00:16:15.710 --> 00:16:17.200
's space between the

287
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:22.080
neck and the ear, we can look at early extension and if the body is moving in

288
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:23.360
towards the golf ball.

289
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.800
And then we can look at the timing of when the thighs get parallel to the

290
00:16:26.800 --> 00:16:28.960
target line. So that's

291
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:36.650
a rough indicator for sequence. We'll dive into some more of this. So the

292
00:16:36.650 --> 00:16:38.640
overall goals for transition,

293
00:16:39.680 --> 00:16:48.990
our goals are to get at P6 or sorry, yeah, P5. So at arm parallel, there's this

294
00:16:48.990 --> 00:16:50.560
high correlation

295
00:16:50.560 --> 00:16:57.350
between how much foot pressure a golfer gets at P6 and club bed speed. So some

296
00:16:57.350 --> 00:16:59.920
golfers apply the

297
00:16:59.920 --> 00:17:05.110
force like a weak force and some people apply the force but continue applying

298
00:17:05.110 --> 00:17:06.080
the force like they

299
00:17:06.080 --> 00:17:13.240
don't peak it until much later. Or I should say they take too long to build up

300
00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:14.240
the speed and then

301
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:19.580
they can't transfer that to the club effectively. At this point is when the

302
00:17:19.580 --> 00:17:20.560
grip is moving the

303
00:17:20.560 --> 00:17:24.510
maximum speed linearly. So the mid hands couple point is reaching its maximum

304
00:17:24.510 --> 00:17:25.040
speed.

305
00:17:25.040 --> 00:17:32.130
That's a way of kind of looking at force versus couple. So am I creating the

306
00:17:32.130 --> 00:17:33.440
speed by pulling

307
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:38.900
along the shaft or am I creating a speed by, you know, using my hands and

308
00:17:38.900 --> 00:17:40.320
wrists and arms to

309
00:17:40.320 --> 00:17:48.240
essentially torque the shaft. Is the when looking at arm shallowing, that's

310
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:49.520
kind of a way to look at

311
00:17:49.520 --> 00:17:53.520
the club center of mass getting under the hand path. So when we're looking at

312
00:17:53.520 --> 00:17:54.000
the,

313
00:17:54.000 --> 00:18:01.360
we'll simply put the club center of mass is wherever that balance point is. And

314
00:18:01.360 --> 00:18:02.240
then it's

315
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:06.280
roughly a little like it would be kind of in line with the sweet spot of the

316
00:18:06.280 --> 00:18:06.960
club. So it's

317
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:12.000
somewhere right around there. You want to get that slightly under the path of

318
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:13.360
the hand so that when

319
00:18:13.360 --> 00:18:18.940
you go normal, it helps the club face close and it helps the path work more out

320
00:18:18.940 --> 00:18:20.320
. If the center of

321
00:18:20.320 --> 00:18:25.220
mass gets outside the hand path, we're steeper than the hand path, then when

322
00:18:25.220 --> 00:18:26.560
you go normal, it will

323
00:18:26.560 --> 00:18:32.260
tend to cause the face to want to lay back open, which causes you to then have

324
00:18:32.260 --> 00:18:34.160
to apply a hand force

325
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:38.210
really strongly down at the bottom. And that usually causes the dreaded two-way

326
00:18:38.210 --> 00:18:38.720
miss.

327
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:48.320
And then if we remember from last year's classes, we got the axial velocity,

328
00:18:48.320 --> 00:18:52.960
where basically we're starting, we're trying to start closing the face earlier

329
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:53.680
in the downswing,

330
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:59.490
especially with the longer clubs that has a higher correlation in my experience

331
00:18:59.490 --> 00:19:00.400
with consistency.

332
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:06.480
And then keeping in mind the steep shallow balances. So is this swing plane

333
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:07.120
created by

334
00:19:07.120 --> 00:19:14.180
shallow body movements or steep body movements in general? I think you'll see a

335
00:19:14.180 --> 00:19:14.800
little bit more

336
00:19:14.800 --> 00:19:20.900
consistency with golfers who tend to get shallow early and then steep late

337
00:19:20.900 --> 00:19:23.040
versus getting steep early

338
00:19:23.040 --> 00:19:28.160
and then shallow late. That steep early shallow late tends to be much more

339
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:29.360
timing dependent and

340
00:19:29.360 --> 00:19:34.750
have the dreaded two-way miss. So what are the movement goals? How do they

341
00:19:34.750 --> 00:19:35.600
relate to

342
00:19:35.600 --> 00:19:45.360
these key goals that we're discussing? So the movement goals are basically the

343
00:19:45.360 --> 00:19:46.720
left side crunch.

344
00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:57.730
So using the obliques and that trail glute to help get into this position there

345
00:19:57.730 --> 00:19:59.040
or basically,

346
00:19:59.040 --> 00:20:03.720
if I didn't do this, I'm not going to feel nearly as much pressure into that

347
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:04.400
front foot.

348
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:08.720
When I start going this way, I can put a lot more pressure into that left foot

349
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:10.080
at the right time.

350
00:20:10.080 --> 00:20:18.000
I can spike the ground force pressure a whole lot easier. That also gets my

351
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:18.800
upper body closer to

352
00:20:18.800 --> 00:20:21.880
the ground, which is a steepening movement, which allows me to get away with

353
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:23.120
shallowing my arms,

354
00:20:23.120 --> 00:20:30.800
which gets the center of mass of the club underneath the hand path. So it has

355
00:20:30.800 --> 00:20:31.760
two big effects. It

356
00:20:31.760 --> 00:20:35.920
helps with the speed and it helps with the path contribution. So it's one of

357
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:38.240
those kind of moves

358
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:44.440
that I look for, especially in high-level golfers, but it's also when I'm

359
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:46.320
working with my average

360
00:20:46.320 --> 00:20:52.550
golfers, I would say it's one of the later movements that I tend to coach

361
00:20:52.550 --> 00:20:55.440
because if they don't know

362
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:59.940
how to like it requires a handful of other moves to compliment it. And so it

363
00:20:59.940 --> 00:21:01.520
can put you in a tough

364
00:21:01.520 --> 00:21:05.790
position where if a golfer is not willing to try to work their way through how

365
00:21:05.790 --> 00:21:07.040
to handle that position,

366
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:14.010
then I probably go there later in the chain. Okay, so next piece looking at

367
00:21:14.010 --> 00:21:16.000
like arm loading.

368
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:21.390
So this is where similar to like a throwing model, I'm going to reach my

369
00:21:21.390 --> 00:21:23.120
maximum arm stretch right

370
00:21:23.120 --> 00:21:28.130
around there. Well, in the golf swing model, that's going to be kind of right

371
00:21:28.130 --> 00:21:29.200
around there,

372
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:33.150
which is where I want to have maximum trail wrist extension. I would have

373
00:21:33.150 --> 00:21:34.480
already reached maximum

374
00:21:35.040 --> 00:21:39.310
elbow extension, so that's now starting to straighten. Same thing with the

375
00:21:39.310 --> 00:21:40.080
shoulder,

376
00:21:40.080 --> 00:21:45.280
I would have reached that earlier in transition, but the wrists are typically

377
00:21:45.280 --> 00:21:46.400
going to reach the

378
00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:53.760
maximum extension and flexion kind of right around in this zone. Oftentimes

379
00:21:53.760 --> 00:21:56.320
radial deviation

380
00:21:56.320 --> 00:22:00.030
of the trail wrist, even though owner deviation or sorry radial deviation of

381
00:22:00.030 --> 00:22:00.960
the lead wrist is

382
00:22:02.080 --> 00:22:06.940
oftentimes right up at the top of the swing. So the big one would be looking at

383
00:22:06.940 --> 00:22:09.040
the extension.

384
00:22:09.040 --> 00:22:13.000
What I'd love to see would be when the timing of external rotation of the

385
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:13.920
shoulder happens,

386
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:20.980
but we don't have any data on that. So but we do have data on the wrist. Okay,

387
00:22:20.980 --> 00:22:22.720
the moment of force

388
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:28.840
versus the torque in general, if I grab the club, in general, the force pattern

389
00:22:28.840 --> 00:22:30.000
should be going

390
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:36.800
roughly along the shaft versus this would be more of that hand or torquing

391
00:22:36.800 --> 00:22:37.040
action,

392
00:22:37.040 --> 00:22:43.690
where this would be more of the force going linearly in the direction of the

393
00:22:43.690 --> 00:22:44.560
club.

394
00:22:44.560 --> 00:22:48.640
Now the thing about that is the direction, the club is changing direction

395
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:50.240
constantly,

396
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:56.710
so the direction being in the line that the grip is pointing, it represents

397
00:22:56.710 --> 00:22:58.640
more of this kind of

398
00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:06.000
angular force, but along the shaft. That's the moment of force, where if I did

399
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:06.720
it just with my

400
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:09.970
hands kind of throwing more like that, or just with my arms, that would be more

401
00:23:09.970 --> 00:23:10.720
of the torque.

402
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:17.490
As far as starting to square the face, you'll typically see it either as they

403
00:23:17.490 --> 00:23:18.160
're ending the

404
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:22.670
top of the backswing, starting to go into that motorcycle movement, or as they

405
00:23:22.670 --> 00:23:23.600
start down.

406
00:23:24.560 --> 00:23:30.000
I'd say it's pretty close to 50/50 as far as my database is, which golfers are

407
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:31.280
closing it at the

408
00:23:31.280 --> 00:23:35.910
top versus closing it on the way down. So I always give golfers kind of the

409
00:23:35.910 --> 00:23:37.200
perspective, or give

410
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:42.740
them the option to kind of play around with both. Steeps and shallows. So the

411
00:23:42.740 --> 00:23:44.480
arm rotation, we're

412
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:49.920
going to see some forearm rotation to help shallow. We're going to see some

413
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:51.600
external rotation of the

414
00:23:51.600 --> 00:23:57.670
shoulder to help shallow. We're going to see a little bit of starting to ulnar

415
00:23:57.670 --> 00:23:58.400
deviate,

416
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:03.410
that helps shallow. So those shallow arm movements then have to be balanced

417
00:24:03.410 --> 00:24:03.840
with some

418
00:24:03.840 --> 00:24:08.320
steeper body movements. So we've got the body movements of the left side crunch

419
00:24:08.320 --> 00:24:09.360
kind of increasing

420
00:24:09.360 --> 00:24:14.640
that spine angle, and then we've got body rotation as well as the shift towards

421
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:15.920
that left foot.

422
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:21.600
So in general, the body is a little bit more steep in transition. The arms are

423
00:24:21.600 --> 00:24:22.320
a little bit more

424
00:24:22.320 --> 00:24:28.400
shallow. Overall, it creates a little bit more shallow pattern. So then I can,

425
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:29.200
like I said,

426
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:34.240
take advantage of when I go normal having some passive torque to help square up

427
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:35.120
the face.

428
00:24:35.120 --> 00:24:42.790
Also, one key, I think, and I just kind of put it in this section, but it

429
00:24:42.790 --> 00:24:43.840
relates to all of these

430
00:24:43.840 --> 00:24:51.450
moving goals. The best example, or the best analogy I had heard for how to pull

431
00:24:51.450 --> 00:24:52.800
on the club

432
00:24:52.800 --> 00:24:58.050
is Ben Doyle's old shopping cart analogy. So in a shopping cart, if I'm pushing

433
00:24:58.050 --> 00:24:58.960
it this way,

434
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:05.520
I want to have connection from my feet pushing against the ground to the arms

435
00:25:05.520 --> 00:25:06.160
pushing against

436
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:10.880
the cart. So I'm basically using my whole body in order to push the cart.

437
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:13.600
Similar to what I do with

438
00:25:13.600 --> 00:25:17.680
the takeaway of trying to feel the whole body move the club, I do a lot of work

439
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:18.560
of trying to

440
00:25:18.560 --> 00:25:23.840
feel the whole body move the club in transition. If you get in there and you

441
00:25:23.840 --> 00:25:25.120
feel a lot of arm

442
00:25:25.120 --> 00:25:30.130
tension, then they're not using their whole body. It would be if I like locked

443
00:25:30.130 --> 00:25:31.040
my shoulders

444
00:25:31.040 --> 00:25:38.800
like this to the point where I almost couldn't use my legs as effectively. It

445
00:25:38.800 --> 00:25:39.760
doesn't cross over

446
00:25:39.760 --> 00:25:44.170
quite as clearly as it does because of the position that we're in at the top of

447
00:25:44.170 --> 00:25:44.640
the swing.

448
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:49.680
With the position at the top of the swing, because I'm close to end range of

449
00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:50.480
motion of my shoulders,

450
00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:54.750
if I start tightening them, they're going to lock down my core, which would

451
00:25:54.750 --> 00:25:56.880
basically activate

452
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:04.250
some of those outer unit muscles like the lat and the pec, certain serratus and

453
00:26:04.250 --> 00:26:06.000
upper trap.

454
00:26:06.800 --> 00:26:12.450
It's going to lock those down, so then I can't use the oblique or the internal

455
00:26:12.450 --> 00:26:13.520
oblique as well

456
00:26:13.520 --> 00:26:22.320
to help with the rotation. Then the figure skater model. The whole reason of

457
00:26:22.320 --> 00:26:22.880
this being

458
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:28.310
bad is basically I get the club center mass so far away from me that then it

459
00:26:28.310 --> 00:26:29.520
rotates slowly.

460
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:39.060
The thing about the figure skater model is if you're comparing it that a lot of

461
00:26:39.060 --> 00:26:39.360
people would

462
00:26:39.360 --> 00:26:43.500
use that as like, "Okay, in the figure skater model, the more that I pull my

463
00:26:43.500 --> 00:26:44.640
arms in close,

464
00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:48.290
the more that my body is going to rotate fast, the more that I bring my arms

465
00:26:48.290 --> 00:26:48.640
out,

466
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:52.910
the more that I'm going to rotate slow." Now the important thing to understand

467
00:26:52.910 --> 00:26:54.080
is the club is part

468
00:26:54.080 --> 00:27:00.150
of the arm system. If I take the center of mass, if I bring that close, if I

469
00:27:00.150 --> 00:27:01.200
hit it like this,

470
00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:05.270
and this weighed a lot, I would be able to rotate faster than if I was like

471
00:27:05.270 --> 00:27:06.720
this. It's not so much

472
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:10.680
about getting the arms close. It's about getting the club center of mass close

473
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:11.600
to the system so

474
00:27:11.600 --> 00:27:16.610
that I can rotate fast. That's where having that trail wrist extension tends to

475
00:27:16.610 --> 00:27:17.760
bring this closer

476
00:27:17.760 --> 00:27:24.480
to my center of gravity, which frees me up to then spin faster and then I can

477
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:25.680
release that down at

478
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:32.880
the bottom and take advantage of that extra hand speed that I've created. Okay,

479
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:33.840
so we talked a

480
00:27:33.840 --> 00:27:39.280
little bit about the shallow arms. Happens primarily from the lead forearm and

481
00:27:39.280 --> 00:27:40.400
the trail shoulder

482
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:46.970
of getting the club underneath that way. That sets you up to use some of the

483
00:27:46.970 --> 00:27:47.440
body

484
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:54.160
steepening moves, which create a lot more power. From the lower body, if you

485
00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:55.360
recall from

486
00:27:55.360 --> 00:27:59.440
some of the webinars last year, we want to see a little bit of a lowering of

487
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:00.480
the pelvis, a little

488
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:07.110
bit of a sitting back of the pelvis, definitely a shift into that front leg and

489
00:28:07.110 --> 00:28:08.320
rotation of the

490
00:28:08.320 --> 00:28:13.450
pelvis as well. Part of where this lowering comes in is when I lower, I can

491
00:28:13.450 --> 00:28:14.960
push against the ground

492
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:22.830
faster. If I just had my arm up against the wall, so we'll imagine that this is

493
00:28:22.830 --> 00:28:23.040
a wall,

494
00:28:23.040 --> 00:28:25.920
if I have my arm up against the wall and I go to rotate, it's going to move.

495
00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:27.120
Now if I push against

496
00:28:27.120 --> 00:28:30.520
the wall and I go to rotate, I'm going to be able to take advantage of that

497
00:28:30.520 --> 00:28:32.480
friction and my hand's

498
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:36.440
not going to move so I could apply more of a rotational force. So when I get up

499
00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:37.440
to the top of the swing,

500
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:43.530
as I go down, that now allows me to twist faster if I coordinate the timing of

501
00:28:43.530 --> 00:28:44.880
pushing down versus

502
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:49.740
twist. But the timing of that squat movement is really, really critical. And

503
00:28:49.740 --> 00:28:51.440
technically, I think

504
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:56.490
it's less of a squat movement and more of like a split lunge because of the

505
00:28:56.490 --> 00:28:58.160
orientation of the

506
00:28:58.160 --> 00:29:05.220
pelvis. In a true squat movement, your sacrum and your pelvis would be really

507
00:29:05.220 --> 00:29:06.000
level. We're actually

508
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:13.190
tilted and you would have kind of symmetrical hip flexion. We have more, at the

509
00:29:13.190 --> 00:29:14.160
top of the swing,

510
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:18.120
we have more hip flexion in this trail hip, more extension in this hip, and

511
00:29:18.120 --> 00:29:20.080
then we switch that

512
00:29:20.080 --> 00:29:29.500
early in transition. But the classic squat in turn is not a bad model. I use it

513
00:29:29.500 --> 00:29:30.240
a lot

514
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:35.920
during the release of learning to release the squat as a way to feel how to get

515
00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:36.560
into the squat

516
00:29:36.560 --> 00:29:42.070
easier. The unified movement of the ground is basically, like I said, trying to

517
00:29:42.070 --> 00:29:43.120
get the

518
00:29:44.080 --> 00:29:50.490
really good clean using my whole body, my glutes, my quads, my calves, my lats,

519
00:29:50.490 --> 00:29:51.120
my core,

520
00:29:51.120 --> 00:30:00.160
my shoulders, all of it to create that speed. And in order to do so, I need to

521
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:07.440
be in position so that when I move with my whole body, I get into a really good

522
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:08.400
delivery position

523
00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:14.080
so that it sets up a really good release. If I do that more vertically, that's

524
00:30:14.080 --> 00:30:14.320
going to

525
00:30:14.320 --> 00:30:19.110
compromise how I'm going to be able to release. If I did it more too much from

526
00:30:19.110 --> 00:30:19.920
the lower body

527
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:23.880
and go into kind of more of a back extension type movement, we'll talk about

528
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:24.400
some of those,

529
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:29.320
that can disrupt some of the geometry. So I'm trying to get this unified

530
00:30:29.320 --> 00:30:30.080
movement,

531
00:30:30.080 --> 00:30:34.540
but I'm also trying to match the geometry of where do I want the club down at

532
00:30:34.540 --> 00:30:35.360
impact.

533
00:30:37.520 --> 00:30:44.080
And then the last one of turning the shoulders versus turning the spine. Again,

534
00:30:44.080 --> 00:30:45.440
on 3D, this is

535
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:51.520
where I don't have a lot of data on what the shoulder blades are doing, but you

536
00:30:51.520 --> 00:30:52.160
can see it

537
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:57.640
on video that those shoulder blades definitely don't just stay in one position

538
00:30:57.640 --> 00:30:58.880
for the majority

539
00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:06.620
of the swing. So learning to turn my spine versus just turning my shoulder

540
00:31:06.620 --> 00:31:07.440
blades

541
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:14.160
can be really helpful for connecting the whole body. In fact, I think that the

542
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:22.960
scapular movement is one of the big areas that differentiates skill. But we don

543
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:24.400
't have good data

544
00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:30.490
to present on it. So it's a little bit more of intuitive and it's subtle. You

545
00:31:30.490 --> 00:31:31.760
know, when you

546
00:31:31.760 --> 00:31:36.660
look at the shoulder blade, there's a drastically different feel between that

547
00:31:36.660 --> 00:31:38.240
there and that there,

548
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:44.330
because some of your feel is going to come from not just how much activation,

549
00:31:44.330 --> 00:31:45.440
but how close you

550
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:50.160
are within end range of movement. And so since the shoulder blade doesn't have

551
00:31:50.160 --> 00:31:51.680
a ton of movement,

552
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:56.800
when it moves from one extreme to the other, it might only move 10 centimeters.

553
00:31:56.800 --> 00:31:58.560
But that 10

554
00:31:58.560 --> 00:32:06.480
centimeters may feel like worlds apart. So learning to disassociate kind of

555
00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:07.440
create stability of the

556
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:12.070
shoulder blades at the top, get some disassociation of the lead shoulder and

557
00:32:12.070 --> 00:32:13.440
some retraction of the

558
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:19.590
trail shoulder can be really helpful for connecting my body rotation to what's

559
00:32:19.590 --> 00:32:20.880
going on at the club.

560
00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:25.680
We'll talk about that more when we go into these examples. All right, so let's

561
00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:27.440
look at some of our

562
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:34.210
some of our swings we've been taking a look at. So this is, we saw the initial

563
00:32:34.210 --> 00:32:35.360
kind of knee movement

564
00:32:35.360 --> 00:32:42.530
there in take away. I wish we had the down the line. I just have a picture of

565
00:32:42.530 --> 00:32:43.920
him from down the line

566
00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:51.130
and we can tell that it's in a steep position. If you ever have only the face

567
00:32:51.130 --> 00:32:52.320
on, you can use the

568
00:32:52.320 --> 00:32:59.750
height of the club compared to the head. So the lower it is or the closer to

569
00:32:59.750 --> 00:33:00.560
the head height,

570
00:33:00.560 --> 00:33:07.810
the more it'll be shallow. But basically we can see this first movement. You

571
00:33:07.810 --> 00:33:09.200
can see if we're

572
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:13.160
looking at, all right, what's moving. There's definitely some hip movement. But

573
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:14.400
you'll see that

574
00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:20.210
there's a kind of a bigger movement of the shoulder kind of that way. And when

575
00:33:20.210 --> 00:33:21.680
I'm looking at transition,

576
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:26.820
I'm often doing this little scrubbing back and forth, just kind of see. And you

577
00:33:26.820 --> 00:33:28.400
'll see that the

578
00:33:30.320 --> 00:33:39.120
the club is working away from the body. And you can kind of see a little bit of

579
00:33:39.120 --> 00:33:39.680
elevation

580
00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:43.380
of the trail shoulder. We'll have a few other examples that'll probably be a

581
00:33:43.380 --> 00:33:44.240
little bit more

582
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:51.050
clear. Okay, so Mr. Happy Feet. This is where we'll get a really good look at

583
00:33:51.050 --> 00:33:52.800
the idea of what

584
00:33:53.440 --> 00:34:00.000
ends the backswing helps us understand the downswing. So if we remember from

585
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:00.320
looking

586
00:34:00.320 --> 00:34:05.360
at the end of his backswing, it goes horizontal really quickly. And you'll see

587
00:34:05.360 --> 00:34:06.240
the arms drift

588
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:12.330
behind. Well, now as we look here in transition, if you zero in on that

589
00:34:12.330 --> 00:34:13.760
shoulder movement,

590
00:34:15.520 --> 00:34:24.830
you'll see the shoulder is going closer to the ear that way. You can also see

591
00:34:24.830 --> 00:34:26.400
if we look at

592
00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:32.530
this space here and his lower back there, you'll start to see a really

593
00:34:32.530 --> 00:34:33.760
pronounced

594
00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:42.300
crunch movement. Especially if you look here, that hollowing out, going into

595
00:34:42.300 --> 00:34:43.440
crunch as this

596
00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:48.320
is going up. So one of the dominant movements that he's doing is this crunch

597
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:48.880
movement,

598
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:53.920
but also the shoulder going up activates the pec, especially pec minor on that

599
00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:56.320
side. So he's

600
00:34:56.320 --> 00:35:02.610
doing a lot with that trail shoulder. And you'll see a little bit of head

601
00:35:02.610 --> 00:35:04.080
movement towards that

602
00:35:04.080 --> 00:35:10.150
shoulder. So that spacing there is looking fairly scrunched. Well, that's going

603
00:35:10.150 --> 00:35:10.960
to put the club

604
00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:16.060
in a more vertical or steeper movement just compared to the body. But he

605
00:35:16.060 --> 00:35:17.440
balances that by

606
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:22.080
not getting into much of that lead crunch, he starts going into more of an

607
00:35:22.080 --> 00:35:23.520
extension movement

608
00:35:23.520 --> 00:35:29.650
and he under rotates his body. If I was to get him down in a good, like if I

609
00:35:29.650 --> 00:35:30.640
froze his arms

610
00:35:30.640 --> 00:35:36.730
and then got him down into a better body position, the club head would probably

611
00:35:36.730 --> 00:35:37.840
be out over here.

612
00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:46.480
Now that'll show up more when we look at P6 in the release class, but

613
00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:47.680
transition wise,

614
00:35:47.680 --> 00:35:51.640
now it makes sense that he gets those arms behind and goes horizontal because

615
00:35:51.640 --> 00:35:52.400
that's a much better

616
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:58.610
plane of movement for loading the shoulder. So we'll see from this face on view

617
00:35:58.610 --> 00:36:00.320
, there's not like a

618
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:04.740
big pronounced pull of the shoulder of the left shoulder. So it's not like he's

619
00:36:04.740 --> 00:36:05.600
spinning out the

620
00:36:05.600 --> 00:36:10.640
way some golfers would. But we know from this view that the shoulder is getting

621
00:36:10.640 --> 00:36:13.120
into a steeper

622
00:36:13.120 --> 00:36:19.840
movement, steeper position. You can also use that height of the club as a rough

623
00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:20.720
reference in terms

624
00:36:20.720 --> 00:36:26.250
of shallowing. But for him, the big movement I want you guys to see and be able

625
00:36:26.250 --> 00:36:27.280
to highlight

626
00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:31.570
is to pick up on is that shoulder movement. So that shoulder movement means

627
00:36:31.570 --> 00:36:32.640
that the peck is

628
00:36:32.640 --> 00:36:38.490
pulling down. That's why he does that crunch. And when you're doing more of

629
00:36:38.490 --> 00:36:39.360
that crunch pattern,

630
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:41.890
it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to rotate because that would be leng

631
00:36:41.890 --> 00:36:42.880
thening the muscle that

632
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:50.180
you're trying to activate. So this is a pretty clear, you know, crunch chop

633
00:36:50.180 --> 00:36:51.360
pattern and we'll

634
00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:56.280
get into the release and how it fits in in the next presentation. So when we

635
00:36:56.280 --> 00:36:58.240
last checked in on

636
00:36:58.240 --> 00:37:05.610
this golfer, we saw some overturning towards the top. And we'll see a similar

637
00:37:05.610 --> 00:37:07.440
pattern of the arm

638
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:13.520
getting up or the shoulder getting up. But this one, we've got it comboed with

639
00:37:13.520 --> 00:37:14.560
some lower body

640
00:37:14.560 --> 00:37:21.700
rotation. So if we look at it here from the face on, as he starts down, that

641
00:37:21.700 --> 00:37:23.520
shoulder is getting

642
00:37:23.520 --> 00:37:30.580
into a steeper position. But we can see a little bit more leg drive kind of

643
00:37:30.580 --> 00:37:32.400
simultaneously.

644
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:39.280
So as a result, we don't see quite the same level of hollowing out slash crunch

645
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:39.280
.

646
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:45.680
But when we come down to this position, we can see that this elbow gets well

647
00:37:45.680 --> 00:37:46.960
behind the body,

648
00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:56.800
well behind the body. And so that elbow getting behind the body is another sign

649
00:37:56.800 --> 00:37:57.440
that he's going

650
00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:03.120
into internal rotation of that shoulder. And it's a sign that basically it's

651
00:38:03.120 --> 00:38:04.480
not really connected.

652
00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:10.550
When the when the pec goes this way or when the shoulder goes up and the arm

653
00:38:10.550 --> 00:38:11.120
starts going into

654
00:38:11.120 --> 00:38:17.190
internal rotation. When we see that with the shoulder, you'll tend to get more

655
00:38:17.190 --> 00:38:18.400
of the superficial,

656
00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:23.600
like you'll get some of the upper trap. You'll get some of the pec minor. And

657
00:38:23.600 --> 00:38:24.720
potentially you can

658
00:38:24.720 --> 00:38:31.800
get a little bit more of the lat. So when they go that direction, it's the

659
00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:33.920
shoulder blade is going

660
00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:40.080
up, which actually pulls away from the obliques. So part of the reason why I'm

661
00:38:40.080 --> 00:38:40.960
such a big fan of

662
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:47.030
trying to get the shoulder blade to work into this kind of down out and in kind

663
00:38:47.030 --> 00:38:48.080
of sliding

664
00:38:48.080 --> 00:38:54.650
around the rib cage is that creates a much better connection. So that creates

665
00:38:54.650 --> 00:38:57.200
tension up in here,

666
00:38:57.200 --> 00:39:01.850
which stabilizes these ribs. So then I can rotate my rib cage really well. When

667
00:39:01.850 --> 00:39:02.800
it goes this way,

668
00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:08.050
you'll feel a decreased tension or you'll feel almost some slack in your

669
00:39:08.050 --> 00:39:09.840
ability to rotate.

670
00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:15.340
So oftentimes you'll see in this pattern tension and movement up here, fixed

671
00:39:15.340 --> 00:39:17.760
point, gap,

672
00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:23.850
tension and movement down here, fixed point at the feet. So it's that gap that

673
00:39:23.850 --> 00:39:24.560
tends to create

674
00:39:24.560 --> 00:39:33.200
some of the consistency issues. But this is this is a fairly common, you know,

675
00:39:33.200 --> 00:39:38.960
guy likes to probably try to swing hard. He uses a lot from his lower body, a

676
00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:39.440
lot from his

677
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:44.070
shoulders, but the core is not very connected, especially the anterior side of

678
00:39:44.070 --> 00:39:44.640
the core.

679
00:39:44.640 --> 00:39:50.210
And that tends to create a little bit more timing and consistency that we'll

680
00:39:50.210 --> 00:39:52.160
look at in the release.

681
00:39:52.160 --> 00:40:02.080
Okay, so here's that classic, disconnected, or of a armed dominant pattern.

682
00:40:03.040 --> 00:40:09.130
All right, so we talked about how oftentimes we're going the we'll see an

683
00:40:09.130 --> 00:40:11.520
overload of the tricep

684
00:40:11.520 --> 00:40:19.680
and overload of the shoulders. This kind of overswing in an effort to then load

685
00:40:19.680 --> 00:40:21.280
by pulling down motion

686
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:27.360
or a flinging motion from those arms. So that's more of a tricep and lat

687
00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:27.680
pattern.

688
00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:34.550
We'll tend to see that you'll see that a lot with ladies and you'll see that a

689
00:40:34.550 --> 00:40:34.960
lot with

690
00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:41.200
juniors, but you'll you can just see it with general beginners as well. Because

691
00:40:41.200 --> 00:40:42.000
it's a powerful

692
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:47.390
movement, right? I'm lifting this up and then I'm going to pull down like I was

693
00:40:47.390 --> 00:40:48.480
using an axe.

694
00:40:50.560 --> 00:40:59.430
Now, what we'll see here is from the steep shallow perspective, the clubface

695
00:40:59.430 --> 00:41:00.480
and that lead wrist

696
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:07.040
will be not unusable, but in a more open position. And we can see at this

697
00:41:07.040 --> 00:41:08.240
position,

698
00:41:08.240 --> 00:41:16.600
the club is fairly open. And as she starts down, you'll see trail shoulder

699
00:41:16.600 --> 00:41:17.600
coming up.

700
00:41:18.240 --> 00:41:24.320
You'll see arms changing height compared to the body a little bit, but mostly

701
00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:25.360
just straightening,

702
00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:31.440
going from very narrow to very wide. So we talked about how this phase is

703
00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:33.600
really giving us the best

704
00:41:33.600 --> 00:41:38.480
insight as to how this golfer, how each golfer likes to create speed. And you

705
00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:41.920
'll see very little

706
00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:46.930
lower body action because she's basically creating this whole thing as a fixed

707
00:41:46.930 --> 00:41:49.840
point to then kind of

708
00:41:49.840 --> 00:41:57.450
pull with the abs and pull with the shoulders kind of in one common movement.

709
00:41:57.450 --> 00:41:58.480
So I highly

710
00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:03.400
recommend when you're working with your students to put yourself in their

711
00:42:03.400 --> 00:42:04.560
bodies and try to make

712
00:42:04.560 --> 00:42:11.600
the movement and see what you feel. So if I lock out this arm and I just tend

713
00:42:11.600 --> 00:42:13.120
to turn a little bit

714
00:42:13.120 --> 00:42:21.660
kind of like that. And if I do it over and over, I kind of feel a little bit of

715
00:42:21.660 --> 00:42:21.840
pull

716
00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:27.920
more on that back. And I feel some movement going this way. If I then compared

717
00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:28.400
it to what

718
00:42:29.040 --> 00:42:34.320
I would want to feel there, it's in a totally different spot. This golfer is

719
00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:34.880
coordinating

720
00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:41.210
this movement more in this down kind of chop pattern and less of a rotational

721
00:42:41.210 --> 00:42:42.480
pattern. Now,

722
00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:48.800
I talked about the steep shallow balance and the club face balance. This is a

723
00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:49.760
place where when we

724
00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:57.230
look at the release side of things, if I was to get her to use her body more

725
00:42:57.230 --> 00:42:58.720
effectively,

726
00:42:59.040 --> 00:43:04.970
her club would be so open and unusable that she would have no success striking

727
00:43:04.970 --> 00:43:05.200
the wall.

728
00:43:05.200 --> 00:43:13.120
So even though the chop pattern in this engine appears to be a big driver or a

729
00:43:13.120 --> 00:43:13.840
dysfunctional

730
00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:19.930
pattern, I wouldn't try to address it until I had a better, more consistent

731
00:43:19.930 --> 00:43:21.680
impact position and

732
00:43:21.680 --> 00:43:26.690
release. So in the next class, we'll definitely do stuff relating the power

733
00:43:26.690 --> 00:43:28.080
source in transition

734
00:43:28.080 --> 00:43:34.880
to the release style down to the bottom of the swing. But this golfer's

735
00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:43.120
power or engine is pretty much the only thing that would allow her to create

736
00:43:43.120 --> 00:43:44.160
some speed with that

737
00:43:44.160 --> 00:43:52.080
style of release. All right, so now we've got this old practice swing guy, kind

738
00:43:52.080 --> 00:43:53.520
of fun to look at.

739
00:43:54.320 --> 00:44:00.390
So we talked last time or at the end of the backswing about kind of over

740
00:44:00.390 --> 00:44:00.960
setting the wrist.

741
00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:07.600
Now, if we kind of scrub back and forth, you can see there's a pretty good chop

742
00:44:07.600 --> 00:44:08.480
pattern. So that's

743
00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:12.600
not really a left tilt. That's more of just a lowering of everything. You see

744
00:44:12.600 --> 00:44:13.520
lowering of the

745
00:44:13.520 --> 00:44:18.530
knees, lowering of the pelvis, lowering of the spine, lowering of everything.

746
00:44:18.530 --> 00:44:19.520
And you see a very

747
00:44:19.520 --> 00:44:21.760
vertical arm action.

748
00:44:25.120 --> 00:44:31.210
And you can actually see pretty quickly that this lead arm is getting pulled

749
00:44:31.210 --> 00:44:33.360
off of the body.

750
00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:42.090
Down through there, you can see some space increasing a bit. So that's commonly

751
00:44:42.090 --> 00:44:42.320
a

752
00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:42.320
lat or lower trap or even QL. But basically, when you see this arm disconnect

753
00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:52.880
ing from the body,

754
00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:59.120
that's a strong back exercise or back movement during a phase where I want it

755
00:44:59.120 --> 00:45:00.080
to be more hips

756
00:45:00.080 --> 00:45:07.140
and core. So we're getting more of this vertical pull. Now, he has probably

757
00:45:07.140 --> 00:45:09.040
been told to keep this

758
00:45:09.040 --> 00:45:15.120
angle through radial deviation. Unfortunately, that radial deviation

759
00:45:15.120 --> 00:45:16.080
compromises your ability

760
00:45:16.080 --> 00:45:22.150
to shallow. So now we get into a position where we look like we have a bunch of

761
00:45:22.150 --> 00:45:22.720
leg, but our

762
00:45:22.720 --> 00:45:27.600
body is getting into a position where it's going to have a hard time converting

763
00:45:27.600 --> 00:45:28.240
that leg

764
00:45:28.240 --> 00:45:33.380
accurately, effectively. Because the path is so steep, we're going to have to

765
00:45:33.380 --> 00:45:34.720
impart a lot of

766
00:45:34.720 --> 00:45:44.130
shallowers in order to make some type of ground contact. But so this is, you'll

767
00:45:44.130 --> 00:45:45.360
see a lot of

768
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:54.000
this crunch pull down. We're checking that looks more upper body dominant. We

769
00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:54.960
can tell by the

770
00:45:54.960 --> 00:46:00.560
the thigh parallel checkpoint, there's not a lot going on there. The spacing of

771
00:46:00.560 --> 00:46:01.040
the arm

772
00:46:01.040 --> 00:46:04.560
compared to the body gives you some indicators. There's a bunch of things. If I

773
00:46:04.560 --> 00:46:05.280
look at what's

774
00:46:05.280 --> 00:46:10.200
moving, what's not, I start to quickly see that this is an upper body dominant

775
00:46:10.200 --> 00:46:11.520
swing and it's leaving

776
00:46:11.520 --> 00:46:19.760
us in a steep shaft position. Now, the clubface is fine, but basically any

777
00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:20.480
movement that I would

778
00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:23.220
do with trying to get the body more involved would steepen this and it's

779
00:46:23.220 --> 00:46:24.320
already in a borderline

780
00:46:24.320 --> 00:46:28.320
steep position. So it's getting tough to balance that out, especially for a

781
00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:29.200
longer club.

782
00:46:29.200 --> 00:46:34.210
All right, so now we're going to look at some pro examples to see how these

783
00:46:34.210 --> 00:46:36.560
overall goals fit into

784
00:46:36.560 --> 00:46:41.460
the general tour pattern that we like to see. All right, so we had the request

785
00:46:41.460 --> 00:46:42.160
of Bryson.

786
00:46:42.160 --> 00:46:43.760
Let's take a look.

787
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:55.080
So in transition there, we can see he had his left heel, that question was

788
00:46:55.080 --> 00:46:55.840
asked earlier,

789
00:46:55.840 --> 00:47:01.120
we had his left heel slightly off the ground. We've got

790
00:47:03.360 --> 00:47:08.240
arm setting into, you know, just kind of taken a snapshot of where that arm is

791
00:47:08.240 --> 00:47:08.960
compared to the

792
00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:16.880
torso. And we'll see as he goes to start down, that left shoulder stays

793
00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:19.200
elevated. It's not pulling

794
00:47:19.200 --> 00:47:25.840
down, it's not separating off the chest. But we'll see during that phase, he is

795
00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:27.360
lowering,

796
00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:31.630
rotating, and right around there is where he would be really kind of pushing

797
00:47:31.630 --> 00:47:32.800
into that lead foot.

798
00:47:33.440 --> 00:47:38.190
It's kind of bouncy where there's just like a lowering and getting into that

799
00:47:38.190 --> 00:47:39.360
ground pretty

800
00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:46.730
effectively. Now you'll also see during that phase, you won't see that right

801
00:47:46.730 --> 00:47:48.880
shoulder hiking up.

802
00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:55.940
You'll see if anything that shoulder blade is depressing a little bit. And you

803
00:47:55.940 --> 00:47:56.480
'll see

804
00:47:59.040 --> 00:48:04.080
right in through there is pretty good arm shallowing. Now of the pieces we talk

805
00:48:04.080 --> 00:48:04.640
about,

806
00:48:04.640 --> 00:48:09.600
his clubface is more open than most. That matches his grip and release style,

807
00:48:09.600 --> 00:48:14.880
which we'll look at in the next video. So that's a little bit of an anomaly,

808
00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:16.240
but he gets his,

809
00:48:16.240 --> 00:48:22.320
he's getting that drop move spike, he's getting his thighs back to parallel, he

810
00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:22.800
's getting,

811
00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:30.720
you know, really good pull from the glutes in core. And we're not seeing,

812
00:48:30.720 --> 00:48:35.760
oops, we're not seeing a lot of shoulder release yet. So that's kind of the

813
00:48:35.760 --> 00:48:36.400
classic,

814
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:42.490
classic pattern of lower body core driven arms are kind of in more of a loaded

815
00:48:42.490 --> 00:48:43.040
position.

816
00:48:43.040 --> 00:48:48.640
Looks like he's just about to kill the ball. So another example,

817
00:48:50.720 --> 00:48:55.210
this is not a golfer who picks up his heel gets a fair amount of flexibility.

818
00:48:55.210 --> 00:48:56.400
If he worked on

819
00:48:56.400 --> 00:49:01.540
picking up his heel, he potentially could hit the ball further. We'll see, you

820
00:49:01.540 --> 00:49:01.760
know,

821
00:49:01.760 --> 00:49:06.160
he's at about 113 with his club head speed. So we'll see what he, if he decides

822
00:49:06.160 --> 00:49:06.640
to make any

823
00:49:06.640 --> 00:49:14.560
changes in that direction, I'm guessing not initially. But so as he comes down,

824
00:49:14.560 --> 00:49:14.960
you'll see

825
00:49:15.680 --> 00:49:21.750
as he starts down right around there, as you can see from this pseudo face on

826
00:49:21.750 --> 00:49:22.000
view,

827
00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:28.720
that's a fair amount of kind of pressure going into that lead foot from the

828
00:49:28.720 --> 00:49:29.760
combination of

829
00:49:29.760 --> 00:49:35.880
lowering slightly, flexing the knees and rotating hips while getting into that

830
00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:37.040
lead leg.

831
00:49:37.040 --> 00:49:42.160
And if we're looking, this isn't the greatest frame rate, I'll see if I can

832
00:49:42.160 --> 00:49:43.200
find better for when

833
00:49:43.200 --> 00:49:51.840
we do the release. But you can see from here, from this pseudo face on, you can

834
00:49:51.840 --> 00:49:52.320
see right

835
00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:57.040
around here is when he's reaching this maximum extension of the wrist, that's a

836
00:49:57.040 --> 00:49:57.920
big part of what

837
00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:04.010
creates that narrowness and that angle. And you can see that the shoulder is

838
00:50:04.010 --> 00:50:05.040
far away from his

839
00:50:05.040 --> 00:50:10.460
ear, so it's not shrugged up. And if we go up, let's see if we can see any of

840
00:50:10.460 --> 00:50:10.880
the

841
00:50:11.760 --> 00:50:17.920
shallowing pieces. So basically right in through there, you're seeing he does

842
00:50:17.920 --> 00:50:19.040
the majority of his

843
00:50:19.040 --> 00:50:26.230
shallowing pieces. And then he just kind of maintains it as he starts going

844
00:50:26.230 --> 00:50:27.920
with his lower body.

845
00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:36.460
Fair amount of push from the quads and legs, you can tell as he gets up onto

846
00:50:36.460 --> 00:50:37.440
that right

847
00:50:37.440 --> 00:50:42.800
toe a little bit more, that's typically more of a calf or quad activity.

848
00:50:42.800 --> 00:50:48.240
But overall, getting into that pretty classic pattern. Let's look at a few more

849
00:50:48.240 --> 00:50:48.240
.

850
00:50:48.240 --> 00:50:54.310
All right, so neither of these are perfect views, but I want you to be able to

851
00:50:54.310 --> 00:50:54.720
look at it from

852
00:50:54.720 --> 00:51:04.160
whatever view. So this is the highest foot raise on tour, for sure. We'll see

853
00:51:04.160 --> 00:51:05.840
as he goes to end

854
00:51:06.560 --> 00:51:10.710
the top of the backswing, you can see that the shoulder was in a bit of an

855
00:51:10.710 --> 00:51:12.000
elevated position,

856
00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:20.320
and then he's using kind of some momentum to get that shoulder to drop down. So

857
00:51:20.320 --> 00:51:21.120
when we get towards

858
00:51:21.120 --> 00:51:26.350
P5, elbow is slightly ahead of the rib cage, shoulder is down. We'll see from

859
00:51:26.350 --> 00:51:27.600
the face on view,

860
00:51:29.600 --> 00:51:38.370
really good weight shift right around there would be spiking that foot, all

861
00:51:38.370 --> 00:51:41.040
this. So right around

862
00:51:41.040 --> 00:51:47.130
in between those two frames would be where it would reach a high level of

863
00:51:47.130 --> 00:51:49.920
pressure right in there.

864
00:51:51.920 --> 00:52:00.320
But as we kind of scrub back and forth, we can see that movement right there. I

865
00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:01.280
like to see

866
00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:08.540
just kind of this fluidness coordination where it looks like his legs and his

867
00:52:08.540 --> 00:52:10.560
trunk and his ribs

868
00:52:10.560 --> 00:52:15.950
are all working to pull through his arms onto the club in kind of a coordinated

869
00:52:15.950 --> 00:52:17.680
way. I think

870
00:52:17.680 --> 00:52:23.120
that's just kind of the look of a good kinematic sequence or a good foot

871
00:52:23.120 --> 00:52:26.240
pressure. One of the

872
00:52:26.240 --> 00:52:31.480
like one of the things that I've noticed is when you improve someone's swings,

873
00:52:31.480 --> 00:52:32.080
their kinematic

874
00:52:32.080 --> 00:52:37.100
sequence gets better, their ground force gets better, but just telling someone

875
00:52:37.100 --> 00:52:37.840
to improve

876
00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:41.800
their ground force or kinematic sequence doesn't always move it in the right

877
00:52:41.800 --> 00:52:42.400
direction.

878
00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:48.720
All right, last one looking at one of the best drivers of the golf ball. So

879
00:52:48.720 --> 00:52:49.600
right around there is

880
00:52:49.600 --> 00:52:57.520
that spike move. Now his is interesting because you'll see I think he gets a

881
00:52:57.520 --> 00:52:58.480
little bit of upward

882
00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:02.220
rotation of that shoulder bite or elevation of the shoulder bite, probably more

883
00:53:02.220 --> 00:53:02.960
so than upward

884
00:53:02.960 --> 00:53:10.650
rotation. So he gets a lot of this arm shallowing more from the forearm, which

885
00:53:10.650 --> 00:53:11.680
is a little

886
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:20.480
a little different than what most do, but if you were to look at the trail arm

887
00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:21.440
you wouldn't see a

888
00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:26.640
ton of the forearm rotation showing up on say a 3D graph because of the

889
00:53:26.640 --> 00:53:28.480
shoulder going into more

890
00:53:28.480 --> 00:53:36.880
of the maybe slight internal rotation. Now we'll talk about that in matching

891
00:53:36.880 --> 00:53:38.160
pieces of how that

892
00:53:38.800 --> 00:53:44.010
can influence what he does during his release, but for the power phase looking

893
00:53:44.010 --> 00:53:45.120
at that transition

894
00:53:45.120 --> 00:53:52.480
we can see pretty good kind of or really good squat and rotation and right

895
00:53:52.480 --> 00:53:53.280
around there is where

896
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:58.750
that maximum foot pressure would be. Again when we were talking about that kind

897
00:53:58.750 --> 00:54:00.000
of vertical line

898
00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:04.160
you'll see with the driver there'll be a little bit more behind where with the

899
00:54:04.160 --> 00:54:04.800
iron

900
00:54:04.800 --> 00:54:12.560
it would be pretty close to stacked on top at that point. Path is in a really

901
00:54:12.560 --> 00:54:12.800
good

902
00:54:12.800 --> 00:54:21.120
relationship compared to the body, more towards perpendicular or perpendicular

903
00:54:21.120 --> 00:54:22.320
to a spine rather

904
00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:32.160
than vertical. Vertical will be steeper and again this narrow look comes from

905
00:54:32.160 --> 00:54:34.400
the trail

906
00:54:34.400 --> 00:54:39.860
arm primarily, more so than keeping the angle of the lead wrist. If you take

907
00:54:39.860 --> 00:54:41.840
nothing else away from

908
00:54:41.840 --> 00:54:46.720
this it's trying not to hold that radial deviation of the lead wrist too long

909
00:54:46.720 --> 00:54:47.680
into the downswing.

910
00:54:48.720 --> 00:54:51.920
Alright so hopefully we looked at enough examples that you're kind of starting

911
00:54:51.920 --> 00:54:52.960
to see some of these

912
00:54:52.960 --> 00:54:55.520
big patterns that we're going to look at, but let's talk through a little bit

913
00:54:55.520 --> 00:54:57.280
in more detail this

914
00:54:57.280 --> 00:55:02.760
turn versus lift because now we're getting into the meat of why that would make

915
00:55:02.760 --> 00:55:03.680
a lot be much

916
00:55:03.680 --> 00:55:07.640
more important as a power creator more so than what's happening in the back

917
00:55:07.640 --> 00:55:08.400
swing. So if we're

918
00:55:08.400 --> 00:55:13.660
looking at rotation or the turn the key structures would be the trail hip glute

919
00:55:13.660 --> 00:55:15.040
, trail hip flexibility

920
00:55:15.040 --> 00:55:21.120
of external rotation, lead hip flexibility of internal rotation and then the

921
00:55:21.120 --> 00:55:23.520
primarily the obliques

922
00:55:23.520 --> 00:55:28.000
and the ab function and the shoulder blade depression which I see that I don't

923
00:55:28.000 --> 00:55:29.440
have on there. Well

924
00:55:29.440 --> 00:55:35.510
shoulders reach the maximum stretch so the second part is in order to use this

925
00:55:35.510 --> 00:55:37.040
rotational sling

926
00:55:37.040 --> 00:55:43.110
I feel a whole lot stronger in rotation if my shoulder is there compared to if

927
00:55:43.110 --> 00:55:43.920
it's there

928
00:55:43.920 --> 00:55:48.190
and that's a fun little exercise that you can do with your students so we'll

929
00:55:48.190 --> 00:55:49.600
say okay just as a

930
00:55:49.600 --> 00:55:54.110
baseline forget the shoulder and just bring your ribs towards your opposite

931
00:55:54.110 --> 00:55:55.280
pocket just like that

932
00:55:55.280 --> 00:56:01.480
okay now put the shoulder like this and you'll feel like some tension like I

933
00:56:01.480 --> 00:56:02.480
know where my hand

934
00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:07.490
is and it actually like strengthens that movement. Now I want you to rotate

935
00:56:07.490 --> 00:56:08.080
this way

936
00:56:08.080 --> 00:56:12.380
and do the same movement and you'll feel a little almost sloppiness like it

937
00:56:12.380 --> 00:56:13.280
feels much better for

938
00:56:13.280 --> 00:56:19.360
me to just go into a crunch in that position. So the shoulder blade movement

939
00:56:19.360 --> 00:56:20.080
there has a

940
00:56:20.080 --> 00:56:25.550
huge impact on how well you're going to recruit each sling and how you're going

941
00:56:25.550 --> 00:56:26.160
to feel

942
00:56:26.160 --> 00:56:31.810
when you're doing it. The fixed point in this turn pattern is going to go from

943
00:56:31.810 --> 00:56:33.040
the big foot

944
00:56:33.040 --> 00:56:38.130
or the big toe there to basically the heel of the or the outside edge of the

945
00:56:38.130 --> 00:56:40.480
cuboid on that left foot

946
00:56:40.480 --> 00:56:46.160
so it's big toe heel big toe and I say heel but it's just behind or it's the

947
00:56:46.160 --> 00:56:47.040
cuboid so it's not

948
00:56:47.040 --> 00:56:52.620
the calcaneus it's the cuboid in the lateral side of that. That becomes a

949
00:56:52.620 --> 00:56:53.760
really important

950
00:56:53.760 --> 00:56:59.850
sling for getting this kind of let and shoulder pull to continue bringing the

951
00:56:59.850 --> 00:57:01.040
moment of force

952
00:57:01.040 --> 00:57:05.920
along later when we get down in the release. So the sway tends to be more kind

953
00:57:05.920 --> 00:57:07.120
of knee driven

954
00:57:07.680 --> 00:57:13.070
right knee and ankle so when it's a knee driven activity it's going to be more

955
00:57:13.070 --> 00:57:13.680
quad based

956
00:57:13.680 --> 00:57:19.770
typically you'll so you won't have as much adductor and you'll tend to get more

957
00:57:19.770 --> 00:57:20.320
of your

958
00:57:20.320 --> 00:57:25.750
weight going into your toes because that's that creates a stronger fixed point

959
00:57:25.750 --> 00:57:26.960
for your kneecap

960
00:57:26.960 --> 00:57:34.000
which is where your quads connect or you know most of them. This can contribute

961
00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:34.640
if I if I do

962
00:57:34.640 --> 00:57:38.600
it straight much this way it can contribute to kind of an early side bend look

963
00:57:38.600 --> 00:57:39.120
where the body

964
00:57:39.120 --> 00:57:46.180
then just completely stalls kind of danny newnan style or it can contribute if

965
00:57:46.180 --> 00:57:47.200
I don't go into

966
00:57:47.200 --> 00:57:52.220
side bend this way I can go with it with my upper body and go into more of a

967
00:57:52.220 --> 00:57:53.360
lunge pattern there

968
00:57:53.360 --> 00:57:59.960
so I could either get really shallow or I could get really steep depending on

969
00:57:59.960 --> 00:58:01.280
my compensation or my

970
00:58:02.240 --> 00:58:08.330
my other movements besides just what's going on at the knee helps move the low

971
00:58:08.330 --> 00:58:09.280
point forward for

972
00:58:09.280 --> 00:58:14.400
an arm dominant swing so if I was going to do this typically what would happen

973
00:58:14.400 --> 00:58:15.360
is the bottom of the

974
00:58:15.360 --> 00:58:21.450
swing would we be back here and it would reach that that wide point like

975
00:58:21.450 --> 00:58:23.120
earlier and I would

976
00:58:23.120 --> 00:58:28.320
almost hit up into the golf ball so then I have to move that forward if I did

977
00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:29.600
it rotationally

978
00:58:29.600 --> 00:58:34.240
my path would be because the arms are moving so steep if I did it rotationally

979
00:58:34.240 --> 00:58:34.640
everything

980
00:58:34.640 --> 00:58:39.430
would be steep everything would be way outside in so if I slide I can move the

981
00:58:39.430 --> 00:58:40.320
low point forward

982
00:58:40.320 --> 00:58:46.410
without shifting the baseline left but the problem is I still don't get the arc

983
00:58:46.410 --> 00:58:47.440
width that I'm looking

984
00:58:47.440 --> 00:58:53.520
for so I tend to have consistency in low point issues so that's one of the

985
00:58:53.520 --> 00:58:54.480
distinctions I try

986
00:58:54.480 --> 00:58:59.180
to figure out is the sway coming more for power like I've got a cable pull over

987
00:58:59.180 --> 00:59:00.240
there and I'm just

988
00:59:00.240 --> 00:59:06.330
like really swaying and lunging that way or is it more I've got my power source

989
00:59:06.330 --> 00:59:07.200
going this way and

990
00:59:07.200 --> 00:59:11.850
I just have to kind of coast and sway to move that low point forward so that's

991
00:59:11.850 --> 00:59:13.040
a really big kind of

992
00:59:13.040 --> 00:59:17.900
teaching focus for me is seeing if the if the lunge or the sway is more of a

993
00:59:17.900 --> 00:59:19.280
power move or more

994
00:59:19.280 --> 00:59:24.460
of a control move and we've beaten this one to death but this is that classic

995
00:59:24.460 --> 00:59:25.680
arm chop move

996
00:59:25.680 --> 00:59:29.640
makes a whole lot of sense ball is on the ground I'm way up here I'm just going

997
00:59:29.640 --> 00:59:30.640
to pick this up and

998
00:59:30.640 --> 00:59:36.710
chop down that can either come from more of a core chop or that can come from

999
00:59:36.710 --> 00:59:37.760
more of an arm

1000
00:59:37.760 --> 00:59:44.820
dominant chop it's almost always trail shoulder going into internal rotation

1001
00:59:44.820 --> 00:59:45.840
with it because it

1002
00:59:45.840 --> 00:59:50.470
wouldn't make like nobody is going to jump onto a cable machine and pull down

1003
00:59:50.470 --> 00:59:52.560
like this but if I

1004
00:59:52.560 --> 00:59:56.960
was pulling rotationally that movement makes a lot of sense so if I go into

1005
00:59:56.960 --> 00:59:58.480
internal rotation with

1006
00:59:58.480 --> 01:00:02.780
the shoulder elevating that's almost always in my mind more of this chop

1007
01:00:02.780 --> 01:00:04.560
dominant pattern the lead

1008
01:00:04.560 --> 01:00:10.630
shoulder oftentimes kind of pulls down across this way so the shoulder starts

1009
01:00:10.630 --> 01:00:12.080
to retract and the arm

1010
01:00:12.080 --> 01:00:18.520
goes into more external rotation like this and then last like we saw on mr

1011
01:00:18.520 --> 01:00:20.240
happy feet you'll almost

1012
01:00:20.240 --> 01:00:26.400
be able to see more of this six pack or rectus movement of the trunk instead of

1013
01:00:26.400 --> 01:00:28.080
more of a torsion

1014
01:00:28.080 --> 01:00:34.190
which is a blend of rotation and flexion so quick little position checkpoints I

1015
01:00:34.190 --> 01:00:36.000
filmed some

1016
01:00:36.880 --> 01:00:42.400
pictures where I didn't wasn't completely in the shadows with the hat but my

1017
01:00:42.400 --> 01:00:43.760
neck and shoulder were

1018
01:00:43.760 --> 01:00:47.720
a little off so you can see I'm actually a little steeper here than I would

1019
01:00:47.720 --> 01:00:49.600
prefer body is a little

1020
01:00:49.600 --> 01:00:53.870
bit more vertical so we're both compensations for how my body was feeling that

1021
01:00:53.870 --> 01:00:57.280
week but ideally

1022
01:00:57.280 --> 01:01:03.360
or not ideally you will typically see either shallow early steep late or steep

1023
01:01:03.360 --> 01:01:04.000
early shallow

1024
01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:08.410
late right now I'd be falling closer to the pattern of a little steep early

1025
01:01:08.410 --> 01:01:09.200
with the arm

1026
01:01:09.200 --> 01:01:13.720
motion so I would probably have a little extra shallow late in these swings um

1027
01:01:13.720 --> 01:01:15.440
in general I think

1028
01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:22.820
steep late is better to uh more repeatable than shallow late um so shallow late

1029
01:01:22.820 --> 01:01:24.080
kind of we'll

1030
01:01:24.080 --> 01:01:29.110
talk about it in the the release class next but that has typically kind of like

1031
01:01:29.110 --> 01:01:31.040
a an early extension

1032
01:01:31.040 --> 01:01:38.160
flip type look so end of transition is the shift point from when I'm going from

1033
01:01:38.160 --> 01:01:39.120
creating speed

1034
01:01:39.120 --> 01:01:43.070
to then transferring that speed to the club head so this is the max linear

1035
01:01:43.070 --> 01:01:44.000
point kind of right

1036
01:01:44.000 --> 01:01:50.270
around here this is when on 3d we see the pelvis is pretty close to level in

1037
01:01:50.270 --> 01:01:52.480
terms of both rotation

1038
01:01:52.480 --> 01:02:00.400
and side bend and so and this is when the torso tends to go from going into

1039
01:02:00.400 --> 01:02:00.960
flexion

1040
01:02:00.960 --> 01:02:08.020
so then going into extension it goes from going in this is when it switches

1041
01:02:08.020 --> 01:02:10.720
from left side bend

1042
01:02:10.720 --> 01:02:14.080
like I was at the top of the swing and it's starting to go into right side bend

1043
01:02:14.080 --> 01:02:15.120
so it's starting to go

1044
01:02:15.120 --> 01:02:22.540
into right side bend and extension at this point you can identify if the trail

1045
01:02:22.540 --> 01:02:24.080
arm is more in front

1046
01:02:24.080 --> 01:02:28.350
of or behind the ribs that'll have a big relationship to what's going on to the

1047
01:02:28.350 --> 01:02:29.360
shoulder and you can

1048
01:02:29.360 --> 01:02:33.500
start looking at the wrist positions and how it relates to the motorcycle

1049
01:02:33.500 --> 01:02:35.040
movement or the clubface

1050
01:02:35.040 --> 01:02:42.700
control the key anatomical places or relationships to look at here when you're

1051
01:02:42.700 --> 01:02:44.000
looking at video

1052
01:02:45.120 --> 01:02:50.390
shoulder rotation and scapular connections so what's going on that space

1053
01:02:50.390 --> 01:02:51.680
between the shoulder

1054
01:02:51.680 --> 01:02:54.920
and the neck you can kind of look at how the shoulder and the shoulder blade

1055
01:02:54.920 --> 01:02:55.520
are moving

1056
01:02:55.520 --> 01:03:00.400
same thing from the lead side if that shoulder has started retracting too soon

1057
01:03:00.400 --> 01:03:01.200
or if it's being

1058
01:03:01.200 --> 01:03:05.990
pulled along by the ribs and the body you can look at the core and the pelvis

1059
01:03:05.990 --> 01:03:08.480
look at the lumbar spine

1060
01:03:08.480 --> 01:03:13.710
see what movement it's going into and you can start to look it's a little bit

1061
01:03:13.710 --> 01:03:14.800
later but you can start

1062
01:03:14.800 --> 01:03:19.130
to look is what's going on with the lead leg in terms of how it's either

1063
01:03:19.130 --> 01:03:20.800
starting to extend or

1064
01:03:20.800 --> 01:03:25.580
starting to buckle and you can also look at what part of the feet so I

1065
01:03:25.580 --> 01:03:27.200
mentioned whether it's in the

1066
01:03:27.200 --> 01:03:30.800
quads or whether in the cuboid you can kind of start to look at where is the

1067
01:03:30.800 --> 01:03:31.680
pressure moving

1068
01:03:31.680 --> 01:03:35.950
from the right foot to the left foot is it going more into the toes or more

1069
01:03:35.950 --> 01:03:37.360
into the heels

1070
01:03:37.360 --> 01:03:41.500
it gives you a really good rough idea as far as what's going on during this key

1071
01:03:41.500 --> 01:03:42.560
transition phase

1072
01:03:43.280 --> 01:03:46.800
okay so now let's look through some of these coaches submissions

1073
01:03:46.800 --> 01:03:53.840
so as we said in this one there wasn't a ton of kind of backswing stuff but

1074
01:03:53.840 --> 01:04:00.510
potentially a little runoff or drift there so let's look at it from this face-

1075
01:04:00.510 --> 01:04:01.360
on view as well

1076
01:04:01.360 --> 01:04:10.050
so now we can see that might be a little bit more of kind of a more of a

1077
01:04:10.050 --> 01:04:11.680
lateral pull

1078
01:04:13.520 --> 01:04:18.290
so a little bit more of a lateral pull and it looks to me like it's a little

1079
01:04:18.290 --> 01:04:20.080
late getting into

1080
01:04:20.080 --> 01:04:28.040
the heel as a result so and we can see there's kind of like a a disconnect

1081
01:04:28.040 --> 01:04:29.120
between

1082
01:04:29.120 --> 01:04:36.580
the lower body and the upper body or I should say you can notice there's not a

1083
01:04:36.580 --> 01:04:38.400
lot of drop of the

1084
01:04:38.400 --> 01:04:43.680
lower body so there's not a whole lot of squat movement it's kind of pushing

1085
01:04:43.680 --> 01:04:45.200
quickly especially

1086
01:04:45.200 --> 01:04:51.290
from this right leg so that push quickly is going to give more of a kind of a

1087
01:04:51.290 --> 01:04:52.480
vertical pull

1088
01:04:52.480 --> 01:05:00.140
platform and then so I think part of this extra shift is not just for creating

1089
01:05:00.140 --> 01:05:00.800
power

1090
01:05:01.520 --> 01:05:06.940
but also moving the low point forward enough when the arms work in more

1091
01:05:06.940 --> 01:05:09.040
vertically or working down

1092
01:05:09.040 --> 01:05:17.070
it's not you know it's not glaringly obvious because the the path is pretty

1093
01:05:17.070 --> 01:05:17.440
good

1094
01:05:17.440 --> 01:05:23.600
but you can see the the chest kind of stays closed a little bit longer

1095
01:05:23.600 --> 01:05:30.320
anytime the chest is closed that long if the club is close to on plane then it

1096
01:05:30.320 --> 01:05:30.720
means that

1097
01:05:30.720 --> 01:05:37.780
the arms had to be steep because the body is in a more shallow position and

1098
01:05:37.780 --> 01:05:39.120
when it's closed like

1099
01:05:39.120 --> 01:05:44.020
that oftentimes you'll need that upper body to shift forward to help move that

1100
01:05:44.020 --> 01:05:45.120
low point forward

1101
01:05:45.120 --> 01:05:51.210
it'll be interesting to see what shows up in the release but it looks like it's

1102
01:05:51.210 --> 01:05:52.800
a little bit more

1103
01:05:52.800 --> 01:06:00.460
of a kind of a vertical push from the quads combined with a little bit more of

1104
01:06:00.460 --> 01:06:01.760
an arm pull

1105
01:06:01.760 --> 01:06:09.470
not like a major core chop pattern but more of an kind of an arm pull with some

1106
01:06:09.470 --> 01:06:10.720
lower body push

1107
01:06:10.720 --> 01:06:17.520
kind of similar to that overswing that we saw but with much better geometry

1108
01:06:18.320 --> 01:06:24.800
all right boy most interesting golf swing on the webinar

1109
01:06:24.800 --> 01:06:31.600
okay so his transition move

1110
01:06:31.600 --> 01:06:38.660
we can see very big we talked about kind of he's loading a very big chop

1111
01:06:38.660 --> 01:06:40.560
pattern pull pattern

1112
01:06:43.600 --> 01:06:51.820
we can see not a lot of body rotation right there's a little bit of a a bump or

1113
01:06:51.820 --> 01:06:53.200
lateral movement

1114
01:06:53.200 --> 01:07:03.920
and he's gotten into he's early getting into that right side bend so that early

1115
01:07:03.920 --> 01:07:04.640
getting into

1116
01:07:05.600 --> 01:07:13.840
right side bend is helping to shallow things out because that transition move

1117
01:07:13.840 --> 01:07:15.520
is steepening

1118
01:07:15.520 --> 01:07:22.850
things quite a bit we'll see as we go even further down how steep his release

1119
01:07:22.850 --> 01:07:24.240
and arm movements are

1120
01:07:25.040 --> 01:07:33.450
and so his major power source appears to be kind of that arm pull pattern and

1121
01:07:33.450 --> 01:07:34.640
then he's using

1122
01:07:34.640 --> 01:07:43.940
the body to help move the path or the face or sorry the path or the low point

1123
01:07:43.940 --> 01:07:44.560
to coordinate

1124
01:07:44.560 --> 01:07:48.510
for that power source so this would be one of those golfers that explain it was

1125
01:07:48.510 --> 01:07:49.200
kind of like

1126
01:07:49.200 --> 01:07:55.290
they're using their arms more for power than for for kind of control and then

1127
01:07:55.290 --> 01:07:56.400
the body is doing

1128
01:07:56.400 --> 01:08:01.940
more of the subtle shifting to account for it but it is really interesting you

1129
01:08:01.940 --> 01:08:03.280
know he let's go

1130
01:08:03.280 --> 01:08:11.280
with that right hand and almost uses that open palm as a lever or pivot point

1131
01:08:11.280 --> 01:08:13.120
for that right arm

1132
01:08:13.680 --> 01:08:19.360
to then or sorry for that left arm to pull down then it gets the momentum kind

1133
01:08:19.360 --> 01:08:20.320
of coming this

1134
01:08:20.320 --> 01:08:24.880
way so he kind of has that action going there and then he's coordinating like

1135
01:08:24.880 --> 01:08:27.280
throwing it at the

1136
01:08:27.280 --> 01:08:34.340
end of that action and that's a lot of arm coordination and so his body just

1137
01:08:34.340 --> 01:08:35.440
basically

1138
01:08:35.440 --> 01:08:41.520
drifts forward slightly and stays closed to allow for that super steep movement

1139
01:08:41.520 --> 01:08:41.840
but that's

1140
01:08:42.400 --> 01:08:47.790
what creates the shaft leaning backward and his upper body that far past

1141
01:08:47.790 --> 01:08:49.200
everything but still

1142
01:08:49.200 --> 01:08:54.710
getting low point forward to creative solution all right so we've been waiting

1143
01:08:54.710 --> 01:08:55.840
for this to kind

1144
01:08:55.840 --> 01:09:00.970
of break down a little bit more because you get to a pretty good pattern here

1145
01:09:00.970 --> 01:09:02.720
in the backswing

1146
01:09:02.720 --> 01:09:07.760
now if we start to look in transition some of the stuff is starting to unfold

1147
01:09:07.760 --> 01:09:10.720
so you can see

1148
01:09:11.360 --> 01:09:16.590
almost some extra tension in that left arm kind of a straightening and a pull

1149
01:09:16.590 --> 01:09:17.280
pattern

1150
01:09:17.280 --> 01:09:25.360
and it appears to me like we're kind of retaining that angle maybe longer than

1151
01:09:25.360 --> 01:09:26.320
we would want

1152
01:09:26.320 --> 01:09:35.620
so and so this is and this is if we take it all the way down here we can see

1153
01:09:35.620 --> 01:09:36.480
that the spacing

1154
01:09:36.480 --> 01:09:41.160
between the chest and the arm is starting to increase so this is more of a back

1155
01:09:41.160 --> 01:09:41.520
pull

1156
01:09:41.520 --> 01:09:46.540
or more of what Bryson is describing where the arms are pulling off of the

1157
01:09:46.540 --> 01:09:47.040
chest

1158
01:09:47.040 --> 01:09:54.100
pretty early now at the same time he's rotating his lower body so he he is

1159
01:09:54.100 --> 01:09:54.880
getting

1160
01:09:54.880 --> 01:09:59.040
some lower body movement but it looks like it

1161
01:10:00.720 --> 01:10:06.790
it might be more quad dominant i'm not quite sure but it's definitely more of a

1162
01:10:06.790 --> 01:10:07.280
back pull

1163
01:10:07.280 --> 01:10:14.640
and he's slightly lunging forward to help set up moving that low point forward

1164
01:10:14.640 --> 01:10:19.400
i think it's going to relate to what we're going to see down during that

1165
01:10:19.400 --> 01:10:20.880
release through there

1166
01:10:23.440 --> 01:10:31.840
so he's i'd say power wise like what he's doing here the major issue is that he

1167
01:10:31.840 --> 01:10:32.000
's

1168
01:10:32.000 --> 01:10:39.480
retaining that radial deviation you can see how much the the wrist is still up

1169
01:10:39.480 --> 01:10:40.240
at that point

1170
01:10:40.240 --> 01:10:46.840
compared to the ulna bone so he's keeping that radial deviation longer which

1171
01:10:46.840 --> 01:10:47.680
creates this look

1172
01:10:47.680 --> 01:10:55.600
of lag but it also creates a steep shallow challenge clubface hasn't really

1173
01:10:55.600 --> 01:10:56.000
started

1174
01:10:56.000 --> 01:11:02.080
that started rotating a bit it's more about the steep shallow challenge so

1175
01:11:02.080 --> 01:11:02.800
because the club

1176
01:11:02.800 --> 01:11:10.910
like if he if he had his body rotated the club would probably look about that

1177
01:11:10.910 --> 01:11:11.440
steep

1178
01:11:13.120 --> 01:11:20.320
so by not rotating he has to shift the low point forward in some way he does it

1179
01:11:20.320 --> 01:11:21.200
more with this

1180
01:11:21.200 --> 01:11:29.280
drift of or the upper body lunge um and that pattern prevents the core from

1181
01:11:29.280 --> 01:11:30.000
rotating so now

1182
01:11:30.000 --> 01:11:35.280
he's at a point where the lower body has pushed against the ground but it's not

1183
01:11:35.280 --> 01:11:35.920
connected to what

1184
01:11:35.920 --> 01:11:39.880
the upper body is doing it's kind of like you got two different things that are

1185
01:11:39.880 --> 01:11:40.720
working at the

1186
01:11:40.720 --> 01:11:45.520
same time instead of one thing working together from two different spots

1187
01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:51.930
so we'll we'll see a bunch more when we look at the release and why we might

1188
01:11:51.930 --> 01:11:52.480
get into

1189
01:11:52.480 --> 01:11:58.640
that position with you know not a lot of bracing and stuff like that but what

1190
01:11:58.640 --> 01:11:59.280
he's doing in his

1191
01:11:59.280 --> 01:12:06.470
transition is heavily driven by a back side pull like pulling with the back mus

1192
01:12:06.470 --> 01:12:07.440
culature

1193
01:12:07.440 --> 01:12:11.570
while retaining that radial deviation that's probably the piece i would be

1194
01:12:11.570 --> 01:12:12.240
working at

1195
01:12:12.240 --> 01:12:21.120
the most aggressively all right wrapping it up with jack so as we get up to the

1196
01:12:21.120 --> 01:12:27.820
top of the swing i think it's one of the one of the more just beautiful

1197
01:12:27.820 --> 01:12:29.280
transitions

1198
01:12:29.840 --> 01:12:37.920
you can kind of see everything working in unison so you can see

1199
01:12:37.920 --> 01:12:43.120
foot comes off the ground right through there you can see that connection all

1200
01:12:43.120 --> 01:12:44.080
the way down into the

1201
01:12:44.080 --> 01:12:54.240
big toe there um you can see the movement of this trail hip and the lead side

1202
01:12:54.240 --> 01:12:55.600
of the pelvis kind of

1203
01:12:55.600 --> 01:13:02.340
getting pulled out that way um in at about the same rate as you can see his

1204
01:13:02.340 --> 01:13:03.680
belly button

1205
01:13:03.680 --> 01:13:10.960
and his chest turning and it's once those turn those create the the tension

1206
01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:11.760
through the lat

1207
01:13:11.760 --> 01:13:17.840
going into this opposite glute and you'll see that they're happening kind of

1208
01:13:17.840 --> 01:13:20.560
you know really gradually

1209
01:13:20.560 --> 01:13:30.400
or from the ground up i do like that phrase especially when like when it's a

1210
01:13:30.400 --> 01:13:32.000
unified feeling but starts

1211
01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:35.280
from the ground up kind of like if i was pushing that shopping cart if i

1212
01:13:35.280 --> 01:13:36.720
started pushing with my

1213
01:13:36.720 --> 01:13:41.840
calves my glutes and then pushing with the arms but it was close enough that it

1214
01:13:41.840 --> 01:13:42.960
felt like it was

1215
01:13:42.960 --> 01:13:51.630
one movement um so shoulder is not really pulling until after that position

1216
01:13:51.630 --> 01:13:52.320
there

1217
01:13:52.320 --> 01:13:59.600
so the lower body and core is leading transition and he's getting that trail

1218
01:13:59.600 --> 01:14:00.160
arm into

1219
01:14:00.160 --> 01:14:09.030
really solid delivery position so we're going to get into even more nitty

1220
01:14:09.030 --> 01:14:10.240
gritty in the next

1221
01:14:10.240 --> 01:14:15.030
installment when we look at the release um we'll see if we can fit all of the

1222
01:14:15.030 --> 01:14:15.920
release into one it

1223
01:14:15.920 --> 01:14:19.470
may be two presentations we'll have to take a look but we'll definitely start

1224
01:14:19.470 --> 01:14:20.400
relating all the

1225
01:14:20.400 --> 01:14:24.830
pieces into you know what's going into transition and how it relates to the

1226
01:14:24.830 --> 01:14:26.160
release starting next

1227
01:14:26.160 --> 01:14:30.120
