Course Progress
Training different length backswings is more than just shortening a motion. By training different length swings, you'll reveal if you have a barrier to certain ranges of your swing, or if your sequence is off. If your sequence/rhythm is good, then your swing will be less susceptible to timing changes involved in different length swings.
9 to 3 is useful for training the release, impact location, and building a repeatable recovery shot from the trees.
10 to 2 is useful for training your punch shot, your wedge game, and how centered your pivot is
Full swing is useful for training your maximum power swing
I highly recommend you get in the habit of training all three in each practice.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.820
Alright, so let's take a look at a data capture where we're going to do a 9-3,
2
00:00:09.820 --> 00:00:10.680
10-2, and
3
00:00:10.680 --> 00:00:11.680
full swing.
4
00:00:11.680 --> 00:00:16.960
So these are all useful shots as well as useful benchmarks for analyzing your
5
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:17.880
own swing.
6
00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:21.260
So first what we're going to do is a 9-3, where basically I'm going to bring
7
00:00:21.260 --> 00:00:21.720
the club
8
00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:29.640
back to about hip height or bellybutton height, kind of like that.
9
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.860
And then second one we're going to do is 10-2, so now we're going to bring it
10
00:00:33.860 --> 00:00:34.480
up to about
11
00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:38.320
vertical or chest height, kind of like that.
12
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:42.600
So up to about vertical, that was pretty good.
13
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:47.900
And also going to about vertical or 10-2 on the full swat or on the follow-
14
00:00:47.900 --> 00:00:48.560
through side.
15
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:55.880
And then last one we're going to do is we're going to go into a full swing.
16
00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:03.200
Okay, so now we're going to take a look at the data and see what we can learn.
17
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.240
Okay, so some natural changes that we'll see here.
18
00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:10.840
On the 9-3, we're going to expect to see more of a flat line.
19
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.560
I did scoop a little bit.
20
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:16.950
You could hear me hit that one a little bit fat, but we'll hopefully forgive
21
00:01:16.950 --> 00:01:17.640
when we look
22
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:24.950
at the second one where now as we do the 10-2, we can see fairly flat line
23
00:01:24.950 --> 00:01:26.040
through to the
24
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:31.350
top of the swing and then a little bit more flexion or motorcycle movement as I
25
00:01:31.350 --> 00:01:32.560
'm approaching
26
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:33.560
impacts.
27
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.240
I have a little bit more lag and a little bit more body pivot.
28
00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:40.040
That would actually cue me in that I probably need to do a little bit better
29
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:40.880
job of leading
30
00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:43.560
my 9-3 with my lower body.
31
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:49.590
Now as we go to the full swing, we're going to see a little bit more of the
32
00:01:49.590 --> 00:01:50.760
extension up
33
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:52.840
towards the top of the swing.
34
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.830
That's because as you naturally swing up a little bit longer and hinge your
35
00:01:56.830 --> 00:01:57.440
wrist, you're
36
00:01:57.440 --> 00:02:00.240
going to go into a little bit more extension.
37
00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:03.440
So it's fairly flat line here during the takeaway.
38
00:02:03.440 --> 00:02:07.410
I don't mind a little bit more flexion mid-back swing as you're moving the club
39
00:02:07.410 --> 00:02:08.200
through this
40
00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:12.080
space and then some extension there towards the top of the swing.
41
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:18.200
So back to fairly neutral and then we want to see a fair amount of that flexion
42
00:02:18.200 --> 00:02:19.320
or downward
43
00:02:19.320 --> 00:02:25.460
movement during the downswing and then minimal extension from your peak
44
00:02:25.460 --> 00:02:27.080
depending on your
45
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.480
release timing and release style.
46
00:02:29.480 --> 00:02:34.730
So what you can do is by looking at your 9-3, your 10-2 and your full swing,
47
00:02:34.730 --> 00:02:35.120
you can get
48
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:39.200
a little bit of a sense of how your brain is putting together the different
49
00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:39.920
pieces.
50
00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:43.400
Are you just having a trouble making impact with any of them?
51
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:47.740
That could be a sign of I want to flip it during the release or during the
52
00:02:47.740 --> 00:02:48.880
impact interval
53
00:02:48.880 --> 00:02:53.190
or if it is fine in the 10-2 and then breaks down in the full swing that can
54
00:02:53.190 --> 00:02:53.840
either be
55
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:58.490
more of a power source issue or getting into a poor position at the top of the
56
00:02:58.490 --> 00:02:59.200
swing.
57
00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:02.100
So sometimes looking at different length swings can be a very helpful
58
00:03:02.100 --> 00:03:02.800
diagnostic for
59
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:04.200
analyzing your own swing.
60
00:03:04.200 --> 00:03:11.190
I recommend using 9-3, 10-2 and full swing as those benchmarks for your swing
61
00:03:11.190 --> 00:03:12.320
analysis.
