9-to-3, 10-to-2, Full Swing

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.600
This video is 93 10-2 full swing.

2
00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:12.320
So this concept video is just a quick reminder of the progressions you want to

3
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:12.680
work through

4
00:00:12.680 --> 00:00:18.200
when you're practicing on impact or practicing working on solid contact.

5
00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:22.620
A lot of golfers just like to try to take full swings and kind of lash at it

6
00:00:22.620 --> 00:00:23.680
and go at one

7
00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:31.870
speed and there can be some simplicity in that but it tends to have less carry

8
00:00:31.870 --> 00:00:33.440
over or it

9
00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:38.050
tends to have less quick improvements compared to if you break it down and take

10
00:00:38.050 --> 00:00:38.800
it a little

11
00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:41.280
bit more in a baby step fashion.

12
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:45.100
So the prescription I normally give is we're going to work on swings where we

13
00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:45.480
're going

14
00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:49.900
to do 93 which is bringing it back to about belly button height and then we're

15
00:00:49.900 --> 00:00:50.240
going to

16
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:54.930
do 10 to 2 which is bringing the hands back to about chest height and then we

17
00:00:54.930 --> 00:00:55.560
're going

18
00:00:55.560 --> 00:01:00.030
to do full swing which is bringing the club up close to parallel or hands up to

19
00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:00.480
about

20
00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:02.320
shoulder height.

21
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:08.660
So you can also work with kind of a slow tempo, medium tempo, full tempo if you

22
00:01:08.660 --> 00:01:09.760
really want

23
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:14.800
to kind of dial it in and give yourself more opportunity.

24
00:01:14.800 --> 00:01:17.990
Usually what will happen is if you're struggling with low point control, if you

25
00:01:17.990 --> 00:01:18.760
're struggling

26
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:24.880
with solid contact a lot of golfers use effort to try to mask technique.

27
00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:31.340
If you are doing this with pretty good technique then you can do shorter and

28
00:01:31.340 --> 00:01:32.880
slower and still

29
00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:41.320
make solid contact but if you are used to a certain effort, if you're used to

30
00:01:41.320 --> 00:01:42.200
kind of

31
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.690
swinging hard with your arms and balancing it out with the body, if you try to

32
00:01:45.690 --> 00:01:46.120
shorten

33
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:50.040
it or slow it down it disrupts your timing and you end up making worse contact.

34
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:56.440
So a sign that you actually have better technique is that you can either slow

35
00:01:56.440 --> 00:01:57.500
it down, shorten

36
00:01:57.500 --> 00:02:00.640
it and still get the same contact.

37
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.040
Also being able to practice the different length back swings can be useful on

38
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:05.000
the course.

39
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.420
Usually the 10 to 2 is more when we're going to hit kind of a flighted punch

40
00:02:09.420 --> 00:02:09.880
shot.

41
00:02:09.880 --> 00:02:14.300
We use that on a lot of the shots inside 100 yards and the 9 to 3 can be really

42
00:02:14.300 --> 00:02:14.700
useful

43
00:02:14.700 --> 00:02:18.670
on your punch recovery shots out of the trees because with the shorter swing it

44
00:02:18.670 --> 00:02:19.260
will tend

45
00:02:19.260 --> 00:02:23.680
to hit it low and so if you're used to doing that with a 7 iron or 6 iron it

46
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:24.560
won't be too

47
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:29.240
big of a problem if you need to hit kind of a low recovery shot that goes about

48
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:30.320
100 yards

49
00:02:30.320 --> 00:02:32.280
out of the trees.

50
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:38.880
So while you're working through these low point drills I highly recommend that

51
00:02:38.880 --> 00:02:39.620
you work

52
00:02:39.620 --> 00:02:45.580
this length of swing progression into your practice, so 10 to 2, 9 to 3 full

53
00:02:45.580 --> 00:02:46.600
swing trying

54
00:02:46.600 --> 00:02:52.200
to get the same contact or the same kind of low point look on video.

55
00:02:52.200 --> 00:02:57.640
That'll help you identify where your sequence is breaking down, where you might

56
00:02:57.640 --> 00:02:58.200
be kind

57
00:02:58.200 --> 00:02:59.720
of compensating.

58
00:02:59.720 --> 00:03:03.680
It can be a really good diagnostic as well as a really good training tool.

59
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:08.100
So let's say I'm just working on the merry-go-round so I'm working on impact

60
00:03:08.100 --> 00:03:08.820
position.

61
00:03:08.820 --> 00:03:15.440
Now I'm going to do a 9 to 3 getting into that impact position.

62
00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:20.070
Now I'm going to do a reminder of that impact position, now we're going to do a

63
00:03:20.070 --> 00:03:20.800
little bit

64
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:27.960
bigger swing, pretty close to the same maybe just a tiny bit heavier.

65
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:32.040
So perhaps I got a little lost in my backswing or perhaps the longer swing

66
00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:34.720
messed up my transition.

67
00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:44.330
Now we'll go fuller swing, so working on that preset, impact fix, merry-go-

68
00:03:44.330 --> 00:03:45.300
round, up to

69
00:03:45.300 --> 00:03:47.860
close to a full swing.

70
00:03:47.860 --> 00:03:51.290
So you can see the benefit in working on this progression is I can start to

71
00:03:51.290 --> 00:03:52.140
identify, well

72
00:03:52.140 --> 00:03:56.560
hey, when I go to the 10 to 2 I start to get in a little bit of trouble, that

73
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:56.700
might be

74
00:03:56.700 --> 00:03:59.020
the zone that I want to train today.

75
00:03:59.020 --> 00:04:03.440
So 9 to 3 10 to 2 full swing, if you get in the habit of doing that either with

76
00:04:03.440 --> 00:04:03.580
slow

77
00:04:03.580 --> 00:04:08.130
or just regular speed, that'll help serve as a really good diagnostic tool as

78
00:04:08.130 --> 00:04:08.640
to where

79
00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:12.650
your swing is getting off, as well as a sequencing drill to make sure that you

80
00:04:12.650 --> 00:04:13.580
're doing all these

81
00:04:13.580 --> 00:04:15.920
movements in unison or in rhythm.
