Orange Whip Tempo Timing

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.480
This drill is orange whip wedge timing.

2
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:09.960
So with the wedge swing, we want to have a very different timing than we want

3
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:10.120
to have

4
00:00:10.120 --> 00:00:11.120
in the full swing.

5
00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:14.290
In the full swing, we're trying to create a whole lot of loads so that we can

6
00:00:14.290 --> 00:00:14.720
create

7
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:17.360
a ton of speed here in the club head.

8
00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:21.830
And that's actually what the orange whip is designed to do, but Johnson-Claire

9
00:00:21.830 --> 00:00:23.040
is a great

10
00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:27.480
instructor in Texas and he showed me a cool way to use the orange whip that I

11
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:29.000
really like.

12
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:33.440
And basically, it's working on wedges, whether it's the finesse wedge or the

13
00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:34.800
distance wedge,

14
00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:41.480
but basically trying to swing the orange whip having as little bend and kind of

15
00:00:41.480 --> 00:00:42.640
whippiness

16
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:43.800
as possible.

17
00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:49.080
So when you first get it started, you'll have to move it pretty slowly, but

18
00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:50.680
then you can

19
00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:56.740
swing it with a little bit of speed without letting it create too much whip

20
00:00:56.740 --> 00:00:57.560
action.

21
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:02.680
So you'll see as it'll have a very kind of uniform tempo to it, and it will

22
00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:03.200
have that

23
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.920
one, two kind of pause at the top.

24
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.150
If you're working on your wedges and you get to the top of the swing and you

25
00:01:10.150 --> 00:01:10.620
quickly

26
00:01:10.620 --> 00:01:15.740
change direction, that can mess up the sequencing and cause you to brace with

27
00:01:15.740 --> 00:01:16.880
your body instead

28
00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:22.000
of coast through impact, which tends to give you low point controls or contact

29
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:22.600
issues.

30
00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:27.190
So if you're struggling with the finesse wedges or the distance wedges and you

31
00:01:27.190 --> 00:01:28.280
feel like you're

32
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:32.720
in decent positions, then you may have to look at the timing or the

33
00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:33.960
relationship of

34
00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:35.640
those positions and the movements.

35
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:40.360
A great way to tie that in into one kind of uniform feeling would be using

36
00:01:40.360 --> 00:01:41.120
something

37
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:42.800
like the orange whip.

38
00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:46.040
I think skills has a similar product that you could use.

39
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:51.390
So again, just making those little finesse wedge almost feeling more of that

40
00:01:51.390 --> 00:01:52.400
cast pattern

41
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:58.590
swing, then once you have a good feeling with it, you can take your wedge and

42
00:01:58.590 --> 00:02:01.200
try to recreate

43
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.320
that same change of direction where that same timing and tempo throughout the

44
00:02:06.320 --> 00:02:07.240
whole swing,

45
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:12.520
you'll see that it'll be very close to that slower one, two, as opposed to with

46
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:13.120
the full

47
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:18.630
swing where we would have more of this whip and brace action that tends to

48
00:02:18.630 --> 00:02:19.520
cause more

49
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.580
harm than good in the full swing, or sorry, tends to cause more harm than good

50
00:02:23.580 --> 00:02:24.320
in the wedge

51
00:02:24.320 --> 00:02:27.780
swing, and this is a great way to feel what a proper tempo for these wedge

52
00:02:27.780 --> 00:02:28.480
shots should

53
00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:28.880
be like.
