Bunker - Hands on Drills

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.200
Okay, so how is this going to apply for the bunker?

2
00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:11.880
Oh yeah.

3
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:23.880
Is there any one of these that we're going to change as in with all the wedges

4
00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:24.480
I said,

5
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:33.240
constant radius, constant radius, smooth force, constant radius, it's going to

6
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:35.200
change.

7
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:40.550
So I still like really good stack centers, smooth force from using the body,

8
00:00:40.550 --> 00:00:41.400
but constant

9
00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:43.840
radius tends to create too much width.

10
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:48.110
And one of the big goals in the bunker is to have a steeper angle of attack in

11
00:00:48.110 --> 00:00:48.720
the bottom

12
00:00:48.720 --> 00:00:53.120
of the swing forward without having the depth too great.

13
00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:57.590
So I have to be a little bit more narrow so that I can then like come up out of

14
00:00:57.590 --> 00:00:57.960
it so

15
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:04.090
that I can create the club head passing to use the bounce, but also control the

16
00:01:04.090 --> 00:01:04.640
depth

17
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:05.840
of the low point.

18
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:10.330
So it's just a little bit more kind of narrow and like extreme stacked, and

19
00:01:10.330 --> 00:01:11.240
then a little

20
00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:16.680
bit more kind of throw so it goes from narrow to wide to kind of back narrow.

21
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:22.760
Absolutely.

22
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:30.110
Yeah, it kind of has almost that feel right, because, but I'll show you how I

23
00:01:30.110 --> 00:01:31.040
will go over

24
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:32.040
there.

25
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:36.010
Like I said, you'll have the bunker stuff looks like there's a bunch of golf

26
00:01:36.010 --> 00:01:36.480
balls.

27
00:01:36.480 --> 00:02:02.080
It's a big bunker.

28
00:02:02.080 --> 00:02:15.160
Let's see what the sand feels.

29
00:02:15.160 --> 00:02:31.840
So the number one thing I recommend for self-guided is to get comfortable with

30
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:32.040
that.

31
00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:36.530
It's comfortable with where to draw the lines so that they have a good sense of

32
00:02:36.530 --> 00:02:36.920
what we're

33
00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:37.840
trying to accomplish.

34
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:42.640
So what do the two lines represent?

35
00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:47.520
That's a pretty narrow one.

36
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:48.600
I'm good with entry.

37
00:02:48.600 --> 00:02:54.560
So I want the club to enter there, but that's exit at that point.

38
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.680
Is that what you want?

39
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:04.190
Entry and low point, so a most bad bunker play comes from getting too shallow

40
00:03:04.190 --> 00:03:05.200
and having

41
00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:11.040
the low point behind the golf ball, which causes either the blade or the chunk.

42
00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:17.650
It won't make us go chase it, but as long as the low point is ahead of the golf

43
00:03:17.650 --> 00:03:18.480
ball,

44
00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:20.320
it's going to tend to get up.

45
00:03:20.320 --> 00:03:22.400
I'm not going to like blade chunk it.

46
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:27.800
So that satisfies the first goal of kind of like get it out, get it on.

47
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:32.960
So I almost always start with feedback as far as drawing these two lines.

48
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:38.100
And that's where having the narrowness and the more stackness helps to move

49
00:03:38.100 --> 00:03:38.800
that low

50
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:39.800
point forward.

51
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:40.800
Now that was very deep.

52
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:41.800
Why was that deep?

53
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:45.460
Yeah, because I was just kind of swinging with one arm and had no verticals,

54
00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:46.080
right?

55
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.120
I didn't come up out of it enough.

56
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.790
If I did the same thing and I came up out of it, that would help control the

57
00:03:51.790 --> 00:03:52.280
depth and

58
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.160
that would have made it up.

59
00:03:54.160 --> 00:03:58.990
Now when you're doing the single or the left arm, in this one, definitely the

60
00:03:58.990 --> 00:03:59.800
right hand

61
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:04.220
is usually a lot easier because if I switch, this is where I need to be for my

62
00:04:04.220 --> 00:04:04.640
left arm

63
00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:10.780
only release and that typically, you know, compared to a normal full swing,

64
00:04:10.780 --> 00:04:11.640
like that

65
00:04:11.640 --> 00:04:18.800
narrow release doesn't feel great, but out of a bunker, it will.

66
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:25.750
Now as far as the guided stuff, come over here real quick, so I still, I use

67
00:04:25.750 --> 00:04:26.240
this one

68
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:30.760
a lot of like no shifting off the ball and you don't have to hit any of this.

69
00:04:30.760 --> 00:04:35.730
So get a little bit more forward, like that way with your not by moving just by

70
00:04:35.730 --> 00:04:36.600
, yeah,

71
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:37.800
there you go.

72
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:44.760
So that would be more of like nose in line with the golf ball as a rough guide.

73
00:04:44.760 --> 00:04:50.480
I can do the, let's guide kind of the backswing and stack centers, good.

74
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:55.000
And then one of the ones I'll do is, okay, go up to the top there and then just

75
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:55.400
kind

76
00:04:55.400 --> 00:04:59.800
of come down a little bit, okay.

77
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:04.810
So this is where one of the different fields for bunker would be go up to the

78
00:05:04.810 --> 00:05:05.320
top.

79
00:05:05.320 --> 00:05:08.990
That first movement is going to be a little bit more, almost this kind of like

80
00:05:08.990 --> 00:05:09.480
stab my

81
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:13.890
foot there or stab it into my knee so that then now when you go vertical and

82
00:05:13.890 --> 00:05:14.920
stay forward,

83
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:19.360
you'll be able to bring that out.

84
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:27.120
And then on this one, I'll also do a little bit of this guiding to the finish.

85
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:32.120
You don't have to, you can, but just kind of swing through, good.

86
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.720
And then the really hard one, this will be fun, we'll try and hit one.

87
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:42.140
So if you try to hit one for someone, hey, that was pretty good, yeah.

88
00:05:42.140 --> 00:05:46.410
It's like, I have a bunker that's smaller than this and oftentimes I can barely

89
00:05:46.410 --> 00:05:46.720
get

90
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:47.720
it out.

91
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.470
So they will get a different feel of the same contact by doing that kind of

92
00:05:51.470 --> 00:05:53.120
guided, especially

93
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:58.330
like, for golfers who tend to kind of like release and like really spin the

94
00:05:58.330 --> 00:05:59.320
face, I'm

95
00:05:59.320 --> 00:06:03.480
helping them feel like the club coming around but staying open.

96
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:08.600
But it's hard to get a whole lot of distance on that shot.

97
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:13.030
So you can do a little guided stuff, help each other out and try the single

98
00:06:13.030 --> 00:06:14.000
arms, pretty

99
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.400
good.

100
00:06:15.400 --> 00:06:21.480
Okay, find your team, find your partners.

101
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:31.720
This is the last section.

102
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:37.500
And you can spread out, there's tons of bunker space.

103
00:06:37.500 --> 00:06:41.040
Try the single arms if you've never done the single arm bunker shots.

104
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.700
I'm going to need a lot of help with the spear to create the narrow and then

105
00:06:43.700 --> 00:06:44.200
the further

106
00:06:44.200 --> 00:06:45.200
the spear.

107
00:06:45.200 --> 00:06:46.200
The spear.

108
00:06:46.200 --> 00:06:48.840
That's, uh, uh, uh, James Seekman.

109
00:06:48.840 --> 00:06:49.840
Seekman.

110
00:06:49.840 --> 00:06:50.840
Yeah.

111
00:06:50.840 --> 00:06:55.850
He hailed me from trying to get my club to deliver on the angle of the cuff

112
00:06:55.850 --> 00:06:57.000
left wrist.

113
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:58.000
Yeah.

114
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.720
Cause I was going, boom, I guess.

115
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:01.720
Yeah.

116
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:03.680
And you would get, yeah, get a little diggy.

117
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:04.680
Yeah.

118
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:05.680
Yeah.

119
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:09.120
The lines, it's, it's really helpful for a lot of golfers.

120
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:10.120
Oh.

121
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:11.120
Oh.

122
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:12.120
Fielding.

123
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:16.680
There's our candidate.

124
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:22.920
So we know that that miss comes from being too shallow.

125
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:26.120
So what are we going to, we, we know that that miss comes from being too

126
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:26.720
shallow.

127
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:27.720
So who's your coach?

128
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:28.720
Who's helping her?

129
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:34.240
So I think you are, but I will be glad to, I will be glad to.

130
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:38.280
So let's start by, here we'll start with the easiest one.

131
00:07:38.280 --> 00:07:39.680
So here's the golf ball.

132
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:41.880
I want you to get a little bit ahead of this.

133
00:07:41.880 --> 00:07:42.880
Good.

134
00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:43.880
Now do a slow motion.

135
00:07:43.880 --> 00:07:48.300
Go up to the top of the swing, come one down slow, get a little taller away

136
00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:48.920
from it, but

137
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:49.920
stay ahead of it.

138
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:50.920
What does that feel like?

139
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:52.920
Does that feel like you're more on top of it?

140
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:53.920
Okay.

141
00:07:53.920 --> 00:08:08.600
Other than, other than being into the wind, how did, how did the sand feel?

142
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:09.600
Better?

143
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:10.600
Soft.

144
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:16.280
Is that small, small change, little change?

145
00:08:16.280 --> 00:08:17.280
Big change?

146
00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:18.280
Small?

147
00:08:18.280 --> 00:08:19.280
Okay.

148
00:08:19.280 --> 00:08:20.280
Good.

149
00:08:20.280 --> 00:08:31.360
Maybe pick a different spot in the bunker, or, or there's no rule that you have

150
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:32.320
to go with

151
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:33.320
the pins.

152
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:34.320
You could hit it right out there.

153
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:43.040
So then you're not going.

154
00:08:43.040 --> 00:08:47.120
That's a variable.

155
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:51.880
Trajectory, yeah, trajectory and distance.

156
00:08:51.880 --> 00:08:59.530
I felt like I'd given this, I'd say, it didn't like to feel like I'm going to

157
00:08:59.530 --> 00:09:03.260
give it it.

158
00:09:03.260 --> 00:09:06.560
For whatever reason, I've, in the past, I've thought entry point, but I've

159
00:09:06.560 --> 00:09:07.080
thought low

160
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.000
point in here or not, in here.

161
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:10.000
Yeah.

162
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:11.000
Yeah.

163
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:12.000
Yeah.

164
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:17.080
That's, I think that is a, I, a profoundly misunderstood.

165
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:18.080
Good concept.

166
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:19.080
Right.

167
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:24.730
Like, just understanding that you want the club continuing to go down helps a

168
00:09:24.730 --> 00:09:25.840
lot of like

169
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:27.480
chunk blade combo.

170
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:28.480
Yeah.

171
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:29.480
Yeah.

172
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:39.520
So the ball, the ball is not in the middle of the divot.

173
00:09:39.520 --> 00:09:42.120
The ball is in like the back third of the divot.

174
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:43.120
Yeah.

175
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:49.080
So was that one thin, was that one too up too fast?

176
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:50.840
I, I actually wasn't watching.

177
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:59.270
I heard it and I looked afterward and it looked like the, I'm guessing based on

178
00:09:59.270 --> 00:09:59.960
where

179
00:09:59.960 --> 00:10:04.850
the contact was, the ureper body was a little bit too, too back or the radius,

180
00:10:04.850 --> 00:10:05.560
just like

181
00:10:05.560 --> 00:10:07.840
you didn't let the arms fully release.

182
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:12.520
Yeah, that one looked a little bit too far back.

183
00:10:12.520 --> 00:10:13.520
Like upper body.

184
00:10:13.520 --> 00:10:14.520
Okay.

185
00:10:14.520 --> 00:10:15.520
Yeah.

186
00:10:15.520 --> 00:10:16.520
Yeah.

187
00:10:16.520 --> 00:10:17.520
No.

188
00:10:17.520 --> 00:10:21.160
Not too much extension, like too much tilt.

189
00:10:21.160 --> 00:10:22.160
What?

190
00:10:22.160 --> 00:10:23.160
Arquith.

191
00:10:23.160 --> 00:10:24.160
Arquith.

192
00:10:24.160 --> 00:10:36.120
That's, so it goes kind of narrow to wide to narrow.

193
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:38.960
So let's just feel.

194
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:43.000
So go ahead and so a little kind of steeper there.

195
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:44.000
Steeper there.

196
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.000
Yep.

197
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:46.000
Yeah.

198
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:47.000
What felt different there.

199
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:48.480
Just a little more forward.

200
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:49.480
Yeah.

201
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:50.480
That's what I meant by forward.

202
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:51.480
And the ball instead.

203
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:52.480
Yep.

204
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:53.480
Yeah.

205
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:54.480
There.

206
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:55.480
Yes.

207
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:56.480
Yeah.

208
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:57.480
That was better.

209
00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:58.480
Yeah.

210
00:10:58.480 --> 00:10:59.520
That just felt more forward.

211
00:10:59.520 --> 00:11:00.520
Yeah.

212
00:11:00.520 --> 00:11:09.560
That felt like a hard pan.

213
00:11:09.560 --> 00:11:13.980
Then depending on the shot that you're trying to hit, like you can't go really

214
00:11:13.980 --> 00:11:14.520
deep so you

215
00:11:14.520 --> 00:11:17.000
have to control depth.

216
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:23.000
So oftentimes, like I would say there's two kinds of hard pan.

217
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:25.320
There's ones where it will give a little bit.

218
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:28.730
And then there's one where the club is just going to like bounce off the ground

219
00:11:28.730 --> 00:11:29.000
.

220
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.920
Very hard pan versus like hard pan that has a little give to it.

221
00:11:31.920 --> 00:11:35.420
Do you know what I'm kind of, so if it's the hard pan where it's going to

222
00:11:35.420 --> 00:11:36.040
bounce then

223
00:11:36.040 --> 00:11:40.310
I like to kind of like raise the handle and get a little bit more like almost

224
00:11:40.310 --> 00:11:41.320
toe underneath

225
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:42.320
the ball.

226
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:47.460
Like basically keeping the heel off the ground from digging.

227
00:11:47.460 --> 00:11:52.610
So then I'll do almost a little bit more of kind of like a cut type motion so

228
00:11:52.610 --> 00:11:53.240
that I

229
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:56.320
can come down steeper but still get the toe underneath it.

230
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.280
Is it the same buck difference?

231
00:11:58.280 --> 00:12:00.480
No, you're hitting closer to it.

232
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.800
And you're still getting under the ball in the forward line?

233
00:12:02.800 --> 00:12:04.800
You're trying to, it's just not going to dig.

234
00:12:04.800 --> 00:12:05.800
Yeah.

235
00:12:05.800 --> 00:12:06.800
I like bucking more.

236
00:12:06.800 --> 00:12:09.040
More like a chip shot.

237
00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:18.940
Rather, when you did the assisted, were you doing 100% of the work and he was

238
00:12:18.940 --> 00:12:20.040
just going

239
00:12:20.040 --> 00:12:21.040
to arrive?

240
00:12:21.040 --> 00:12:22.040
He helped.

241
00:12:22.040 --> 00:12:23.040
He helped.

242
00:12:23.040 --> 00:12:27.960
For some, I will do it 100%.

243
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:28.960
That's like here.

244
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.160
Go ahead and get set up.

245
00:12:31.160 --> 00:12:32.160
Yes.

246
00:12:32.160 --> 00:12:35.160
Are you ready?

247
00:12:35.160 --> 00:12:36.160
Mm-hmm.

248
00:12:36.160 --> 00:12:37.160
Okay.

249
00:12:37.160 --> 00:12:38.320
I thought you were ready.

250
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:39.320
Okay.

251
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.800
You were holding.

252
00:12:41.800 --> 00:12:43.480
Yeah.

253
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.000
And some of them, this one doesn't work too well.

254
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.040
Go ahead and set up to the ball.

255
00:12:48.040 --> 00:12:49.040
Okay.

256
00:12:49.040 --> 00:12:50.040
You ready?

257
00:12:50.040 --> 00:12:51.040
Mm-hmm.

258
00:12:51.040 --> 00:12:52.040
Ha ha.

259
00:12:52.040 --> 00:12:56.760
I'm not getting ready.

260
00:12:56.760 --> 00:12:57.760
What did the sand feel?

261
00:12:57.760 --> 00:12:58.760
Like there.

262
00:12:58.760 --> 00:12:59.760
It's like that.

263
00:12:59.760 --> 00:13:00.760
It's like the sand.

264
00:13:00.760 --> 00:13:01.760
It did.

265
00:13:01.760 --> 00:13:02.760
Yeah.

266
00:13:02.760 --> 00:13:03.760
Okay.

267
00:13:03.760 --> 00:13:04.760
It's clear up there.

268
00:13:04.760 --> 00:13:04.760
Yes.
