Hands-on and self-guided drills for wedge shots between 40 and 100 yards
In this video, Tyler walks the coaches through the hands-on drills for the distance wedges. The distance wedge swing shares elements with the full swing as well as the finesse wedge. The swing is more stacked than the regular Stock Tour Swing and has a more gradual energy transfer. More of a cast sequence. See how Tyler uses the tactile drills to communicate with the students the key distance wedge components.

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.080
Okay, so with all the wedges, this would have been ideal if I could kind of do
2
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:07.440
the power
3
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.000
points, but you know, just kind of the structure.
4
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:17.310
I'll just kind of talk through what's on the power point for the distance wedge
5
00:00:17.310 --> 00:00:17.640
.
6
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:24.670
So with all the wedges, I've kind of, I used three big buckets of goals,
7
00:00:24.670 --> 00:00:26.040
therefore being
8
00:00:26.040 --> 00:00:31.160
able to control contact, being able to control loft or trajectory, and being
9
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:32.280
able to control
10
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:34.580
like your speed for distance, right?
11
00:00:34.580 --> 00:00:40.430
So I usually use the three goals for all the wedges of stack centers, constant
12
00:00:40.430 --> 00:00:41.200
radius,
13
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:42.200
smooth force.
14
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:48.240
I think those are the traits that you see versions of with most good wedge
15
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:49.240
players,
16
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:50.240
right?
17
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:55.530
So stack centers is essentially getting your upper body more on top of your
18
00:00:55.530 --> 00:00:56.380
lower body
19
00:00:56.380 --> 00:00:57.800
or having these more vertical.
20
00:00:57.800 --> 00:01:01.540
So not having that 20 degrees of side bend that some people, that we want with
21
00:01:01.540 --> 00:01:02.240
the driver,
22
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.880
that a lot of people do even with their irons.
23
00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:08.720
That comes down a lot to this ribcage sway.
24
00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:14.430
So that little warm up thing that we did, oftentimes I'll do that as a little
25
00:01:14.430 --> 00:01:15.820
primer to then trying
26
00:01:15.820 --> 00:01:20.400
to get a little bit more of that forward movement of the upper body or the ribc
27
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.380
age sway.
28
00:01:23.380 --> 00:01:28.890
With the wedges, like especially in the finesse wedges and stuff, we'll preset
29
00:01:28.890 --> 00:01:29.860
some of that.
30
00:01:29.860 --> 00:01:33.610
But here in the distance wedge, we can preset a little bit and get some of it
31
00:01:33.610 --> 00:01:34.380
dynamically
32
00:01:34.380 --> 00:01:35.900
in transition.
33
00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:39.350
That's kind of shifting the weight, but that helps with getting the stack
34
00:01:39.350 --> 00:01:39.780
centers.
35
00:01:39.780 --> 00:01:44.330
That also helps by having the center stack that helps with the height of the
36
00:01:44.330 --> 00:01:45.180
low point,
37
00:01:45.180 --> 00:01:50.860
or the depth, like the swing, so you're not having super deep divots.
38
00:01:50.860 --> 00:01:55.240
From the constant radius, we're trying to have the arms stay a little bit more
39
00:01:55.240 --> 00:01:55.820
in front
40
00:01:55.820 --> 00:02:00.940
of the body instead of getting way behind or having like big radius changes or
41
00:02:00.940 --> 00:02:01.580
typically
42
00:02:01.580 --> 00:02:06.140
either the elbows or more likely the shoulder blades.
43
00:02:06.140 --> 00:02:11.710
So if I keep this more in front, then the shoulder blades don't have to move as
44
00:02:11.710 --> 00:02:12.460
much.
45
00:02:12.460 --> 00:02:15.860
It's controlled the width or the radius.
46
00:02:15.860 --> 00:02:19.580
And then smooth force is on the way through.
47
00:02:19.580 --> 00:02:23.270
Like a lot of bad wedge players kind of have fast acceleration either in
48
00:02:23.270 --> 00:02:24.100
transition or
49
00:02:24.100 --> 00:02:28.000
like a fast movement of the arms through the ball.
50
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:35.680
So getting more of the body leading helps with the radius as well as helps with
51
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:36.240
this
52
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.340
smooth force idea.
53
00:02:39.340 --> 00:02:43.390
That sounds like, so there's a little bit more detail in that in the power
54
00:02:43.390 --> 00:02:44.300
point, but those
55
00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:46.380
are kind of the three big buckets.
56
00:02:46.380 --> 00:02:53.020
So hands-on drills for the distance wedges, I coach that it's kind of more like
57
00:02:53.020 --> 00:02:54.220
a spectrum,
58
00:02:54.220 --> 00:02:57.970
so you know, you have your driver at one end and you have your putter or ch
59
00:02:57.970 --> 00:02:58.620
ipping at the
60
00:02:58.620 --> 00:02:59.780
other end.
61
00:02:59.780 --> 00:03:03.780
The distance wedges are part of the wedge family, but they're closer to the
62
00:03:03.780 --> 00:03:04.620
full swing.
63
00:03:04.620 --> 00:03:08.840
So a lot of what you did yesterday with the hands-on could be applied, but we
64
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:09.760
're probably
65
00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:13.320
not going to get like, you know, some of these big hip movements and things
66
00:03:13.320 --> 00:03:13.940
like that.
67
00:03:13.940 --> 00:03:18.680
We're going to have everything kind of like working more as a unified kind of
68
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:19.260
working
69
00:03:19.260 --> 00:03:21.260
more together.
70
00:03:21.260 --> 00:03:25.980
So I do a lot of hands-on rib coaching for the distance wedges.
71
00:03:25.980 --> 00:03:31.420
I do a little bit of what we did with the arms kind of maintaining there.
72
00:03:31.420 --> 00:03:36.730
And I'll do the lead arm blocking to make sure that it's not kind of pulling
73
00:03:36.730 --> 00:03:37.380
around
74
00:03:37.380 --> 00:03:41.580
too much in narrowing the radius there on the way through.
75
00:03:41.580 --> 00:03:44.180
So let me just look through real quick.
76
00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:50.570
So in the manual we have the axis tilt, so that helps with stack centered
77
00:03:50.570 --> 00:03:51.740
centers.
78
00:03:51.740 --> 00:03:55.470
We have rib cage support in the backswing, helps with stack centers as well as
79
00:03:55.470 --> 00:03:56.060
constant
80
00:03:56.060 --> 00:03:57.220
radius.
81
00:03:57.220 --> 00:03:59.620
We have the transition pump, which we already did.
82
00:03:59.620 --> 00:04:04.140
We just do it a little bit differently with the distance wedge.
83
00:04:04.140 --> 00:04:09.260
And then we have the rib cage coasting to finish and the lead arm blocking to
84
00:04:09.260 --> 00:04:10.060
finish.
85
00:04:10.060 --> 00:04:14.250
So there's only a handful of ones that I put as kind of like, specific for the
86
00:04:14.250 --> 00:04:14.860
distance
87
00:04:14.860 --> 00:04:15.860
wedge.
88
00:04:15.860 --> 00:04:22.340
Okay, so axis tilt guide, do you want to do it since you're?
89
00:04:22.340 --> 00:04:26.020
So we'll say, yeah, that guy right there is the golf ball.
90
00:04:26.020 --> 00:04:30.380
So basically what I'll do is I'll usually show them where the golf ball is.
91
00:04:30.380 --> 00:04:33.850
This is primarily for golfers who tend to shift too much that way during the
92
00:04:33.850 --> 00:04:34.420
backswing
93
00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:36.460
or during transition.
94
00:04:36.460 --> 00:04:39.490
And then I'll say go ahead and make a backswing and we're just going to see
95
00:04:39.490 --> 00:04:40.260
where you stay
96
00:04:40.260 --> 00:04:41.260
in orientation.
97
00:04:41.260 --> 00:04:42.460
All right, not bad.
98
00:04:42.460 --> 00:04:46.180
And then come one down and all the way through.
99
00:04:46.180 --> 00:04:50.740
And so this one's pretty easy because it's kind of hands on, but technically I
100
00:04:50.740 --> 00:04:52.140
'm not touching.
101
00:04:52.140 --> 00:04:54.980
Just kind of make a swing.
102
00:04:54.980 --> 00:04:55.980
Good.
103
00:04:55.980 --> 00:05:00.580
So if you feel any different or for you, that's pretty normal.
104
00:05:00.580 --> 00:05:04.300
So even just having that little feet, I didn't look like he was working too
105
00:05:04.300 --> 00:05:05.100
hard, but you
106
00:05:05.100 --> 00:05:11.020
normally, oh, yes, and do you normally have a little contact problem with?
107
00:05:11.020 --> 00:05:15.590
So that's one of the number one, you know, low point moving backward mechanism,
108
00:05:15.590 --> 00:05:16.300
especially
109
00:05:16.300 --> 00:05:17.300
for the wedges.
110
00:05:17.300 --> 00:05:18.300
Okay.
111
00:05:18.300 --> 00:05:20.960
So now if I wanted, let's say that wasn't enough and he still wasn't staying
112
00:05:20.960 --> 00:05:21.420
there, now
113
00:05:21.420 --> 00:05:23.660
go ahead and get set up.
114
00:05:23.660 --> 00:05:27.340
Now I'm going to emphasize the rib cage kind of going more this way.
115
00:05:27.340 --> 00:05:29.380
So go ahead and make your backswing.
116
00:05:29.380 --> 00:05:30.380
Good.
117
00:05:30.380 --> 00:05:35.160
What did I feel like compared to the, you feel like you're doing the back bend
118
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:35.660
limbo
119
00:05:35.660 --> 00:05:36.660
yoga pose?
120
00:05:36.660 --> 00:05:37.660
Yeah.
121
00:05:37.660 --> 00:05:38.660
All right.
122
00:05:38.660 --> 00:05:39.660
Go ahead.
123
00:05:39.660 --> 00:05:40.660
Good.
124
00:05:40.660 --> 00:05:43.220
And this would be another good one where I'd kind of go, go there and then you
125
00:05:43.220 --> 00:05:43.660
're going
126
00:05:43.660 --> 00:05:44.860
to swing down.
127
00:05:44.860 --> 00:05:48.620
So, so I help him get up to there, do it again.
128
00:05:48.620 --> 00:05:52.070
Notice how when he started thinking about swinging down, this would be one
129
00:05:52.070 --> 00:05:52.500
where I kind
130
00:05:52.500 --> 00:05:56.220
of get in position and then try to let them go.
131
00:05:56.220 --> 00:06:01.740
Or I could combo this with go up there and then on the way through more there.
132
00:06:01.740 --> 00:06:05.340
So it has kind of a little bit more of a feeling like that as opposed to just
133
00:06:05.340 --> 00:06:06.660
pure rotation.
134
00:06:06.660 --> 00:06:09.260
Can you feel it?
135
00:06:09.260 --> 00:06:10.260
Good.
136
00:06:10.260 --> 00:06:11.260
Yeah.
137
00:06:11.260 --> 00:06:18.420
Did that feel different more in the backswing or more in the follow through?
138
00:06:18.420 --> 00:06:19.420
Follow through.
139
00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:20.420
Okay.
140
00:06:20.420 --> 00:06:24.420
So even though the initial like backswing felt different, the follow through
141
00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:25.020
felt even
142
00:06:25.020 --> 00:06:26.940
mainly because I lost my balance.
143
00:06:26.940 --> 00:06:27.940
Okay.
144
00:06:27.940 --> 00:06:28.940
That's fine.
145
00:06:28.940 --> 00:06:33.140
Uh, what were the, and then okay, the pump.
146
00:06:33.140 --> 00:06:36.800
So go up to the top of the swing.
147
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:41.540
So now I'm going to try to emphasize getting a little bit wider there.
148
00:06:41.540 --> 00:06:46.240
And now when we pump down, come on down, basically what I'm trying to do is I
149
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:47.460
am getting a little
150
00:06:47.460 --> 00:06:52.660
bit, like I'm guiding a little bit of the arm extension, could you feel?
151
00:06:52.660 --> 00:06:56.100
So instead of like the full swing where I'm really kind of like holding this
152
00:06:56.100 --> 00:06:56.580
and getting
153
00:06:56.580 --> 00:07:01.850
into like a little bit more side bend, on this one, I'm kind of like guiding it
154
00:07:01.850 --> 00:07:02.700
, starting
155
00:07:02.700 --> 00:07:04.700
to straighten as it's getting down in front.
156
00:07:04.700 --> 00:07:06.460
Can you feel that?
157
00:07:06.460 --> 00:07:07.460
Yep.
158
00:07:07.460 --> 00:07:08.660
And then start going into your extension.
159
00:07:08.660 --> 00:07:09.660
Good.
160
00:07:09.660 --> 00:07:12.900
And now I'm in position where I could easily do that lead arm blocking.
161
00:07:12.900 --> 00:07:18.580
So now go ahead and get set up, go up to the top of your swing.
162
00:07:18.580 --> 00:07:19.580
Come on down.
163
00:07:19.580 --> 00:07:21.580
Start going into extension.
164
00:07:21.580 --> 00:07:22.580
Good.
165
00:07:22.580 --> 00:07:27.380
That's a big one.
166
00:07:27.380 --> 00:07:32.500
So that was kind of like almost like a more real world, uh, version of how I
167
00:07:32.500 --> 00:07:33.300
would kind
168
00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:35.740
of coach through those different parts.
169
00:07:35.740 --> 00:07:39.370
So I started with the stack, made sure the backswing was okay, focused on the
170
00:07:39.370 --> 00:07:39.900
width, got
171
00:07:39.900 --> 00:07:43.860
the sequencing of the arms in front, and then really focused on, on kind of the
172
00:07:43.860 --> 00:07:44.420
extension
173
00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:45.420
on the way through.
174
00:07:45.420 --> 00:07:47.220
Does that make sense?
175
00:07:47.220 --> 00:07:57.050
So if you look at the graphs, there's more of a cast pattern, meaning I usually
176
00:07:57.050 --> 00:07:58.020
use the
177
00:07:58.020 --> 00:08:01.380
example of a overhand throw versus underhand toss.
178
00:08:01.380 --> 00:08:05.260
So in an overhand throw, there's going to be a weight shift backward.
179
00:08:05.260 --> 00:08:06.460
There's weight shift forward.
180
00:08:06.460 --> 00:08:07.460
There's sequencing.
181
00:08:07.460 --> 00:08:09.180
And then there's like snap.
182
00:08:09.180 --> 00:08:12.380
There's all that to create speed.
183
00:08:12.380 --> 00:08:15.340
With an underhand toss, I'm not really going to rock backward.
184
00:08:15.340 --> 00:08:16.740
I'm already backward.
185
00:08:16.740 --> 00:08:20.820
So there's, as sequence would say, energy's always moving towards the target.
186
00:08:20.820 --> 00:08:24.980
And I'm using my whole body kind of like more in concert together, as opposed
187
00:08:24.980 --> 00:08:25.580
to having
188
00:08:25.580 --> 00:08:26.820
that sequence.
189
00:08:26.820 --> 00:08:30.180
So the graphs kind of match that.
190
00:08:30.180 --> 00:08:34.180
So you'll see a little bit more of like everything rotating together and having
191
00:08:34.180 --> 00:08:35.280
more of a coasting
192
00:08:35.280 --> 00:08:39.740
through impact, rather than a big bracing.
193
00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:45.370
So I think the timings are like the timing of the vertical and stuff is still
194
00:08:45.370 --> 00:08:46.020
around
195
00:08:46.020 --> 00:08:53.380
arm parallel, but it's like less explosive and more like smooth, okay?
196
00:08:53.380 --> 00:08:54.380
More of a coast.
197
00:08:54.380 --> 00:08:55.380
That's the.
198
00:08:55.380 --> 00:08:56.380
70% feel?
199
00:08:56.380 --> 00:09:00.060
For a lot of people, yeah, 50, 60, 70.
200
00:09:00.060 --> 00:09:01.060
Yeah.
201
00:09:01.060 --> 00:09:02.060
Definitely not 90.
202
00:09:02.060 --> 00:09:13.540
That was the, yeah, the main thing for him was feeling the arm a little wider
203
00:09:13.540 --> 00:09:14.200
at the top
204
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:18.580
of the swing and then going into extension to prevent the arms from, from kind
205
00:09:18.580 --> 00:09:19.080
of like
206
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:22.680
really reaching on the way through.
207
00:09:22.680 --> 00:09:26.130
He didn't need as much of the constant radius as he needed more of the stack
208
00:09:26.130 --> 00:09:26.800
centers and
209
00:09:26.800 --> 00:09:29.160
a little bit more of the smooth force.
210
00:09:29.160 --> 00:09:33.840
But you'll feel some, some people are really just kind of like trying to do it
211
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:34.480
all with
212
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:38.520
their arms and their radius changes a lot.
213
00:09:38.520 --> 00:09:51.280
Yeah, and I would also, so yes, I don't have quite as much data on like 68 to
214
00:09:51.280 --> 00:09:53.360
80 yard.
215
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:59.080
Definitely in the shorter, like the 30 yard, I've got decent data set.
216
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:09.680
Yeah, it stays, it stays wider, it doesn't get nearly as narrow.
217
00:10:09.680 --> 00:10:12.640
So that's where the radius is from the grip.
218
00:10:12.640 --> 00:10:17.920
So if you're doing it like this, then the radius still stays the same.
219
00:10:17.920 --> 00:10:20.880
It's not radius to the club head, it's radius to the grip.
220
00:10:20.880 --> 00:10:21.880
Right.
221
00:10:21.880 --> 00:10:22.880
Yeah.
222
00:10:22.880 --> 00:10:33.680
So you can be wristy, mid hands, okay, so let's get into your C1, D1, T1.
223
00:10:33.680 --> 00:10:40.430
So we've got the axis tilt, the rib cage backswing, the transition pump, the
224
00:10:40.430 --> 00:10:41.520
rib cage finish
225
00:10:41.520 --> 00:10:48.160
and the lead arm blocking.
226
00:10:48.160 --> 00:10:52.760
Are you pretty good with your wedges?
227
00:10:52.760 --> 00:10:54.680
Yeah, come on.
228
00:10:54.680 --> 00:10:57.440
I have moments where I'm pretty good.
229
00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:58.440
Gotcha.
230
00:10:58.440 --> 00:10:59.440
You're like the rest of us?
231
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:00.440
That's why you coach?
232
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:01.440
Yeah.
233
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:02.440
I see.
234
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:03.440
So who's coaching him?
235
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:04.440
This is perfect.
236
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:05.440
Who's coaching him?
237
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:06.440
No.
238
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:07.440
Yeah.
239
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:17.320
So you got to have your, we need more translation if you're going to do that.
240
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:21.830
So, so go up to the, then this is where I'll use a little bit of this
241
00:11:21.830 --> 00:11:23.200
creativity to kind
242
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:27.560
of like go up to the top and then give me a little bit of the translation here.
243
00:11:27.560 --> 00:11:28.560
Good.
244
00:11:28.560 --> 00:11:30.680
And now start going into extension.
245
00:11:30.680 --> 00:11:31.680
What does that feel like?
246
00:11:31.680 --> 00:11:33.840
Does that feel more forward, more stacked?
247
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:36.920
So now I'm kind of blocking here and guiding it a little bit.
248
00:11:36.920 --> 00:11:40.600
So I would still put this in the category of rib cage guiding.
249
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:46.440
What did I feel like?
250
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:47.440
Different?
251
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:48.440
Yeah.
252
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:49.440
What's the contact you're doing?
253
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:50.440
Yeah.
254
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:53.040
So that's why the contact was off on the first one.
255
00:11:53.040 --> 00:11:54.040
To that, man.
256
00:11:54.040 --> 00:11:58.320
Can you help me learn how to do the first day at really well?
257
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:02.860
Like where am I supposed to be feeling it like I'm like, kind of the bottom of
258
00:12:02.860 --> 00:12:03.560
the ribs
259
00:12:03.560 --> 00:12:04.560
here.
260
00:12:04.560 --> 00:12:06.560
So try to move this laterally.
261
00:12:06.560 --> 00:12:07.560
Yep.
262
00:12:07.560 --> 00:12:09.800
That's, what do you mean?
263
00:12:09.800 --> 00:12:10.800
That's awesome.
264
00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:12.440
It doesn't like when I'm coiled.
265
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:14.800
So now go ahead and do that same motion.
266
00:12:14.800 --> 00:12:16.400
There you go.
267
00:12:16.400 --> 00:12:18.200
Good.
268
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:21.840
Now at the same time, so do that.
269
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:23.440
Now turn this out of the way.
270
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:24.440
Good.
271
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:25.440
You feel that tension?
272
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:26.440
Yeah.
273
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:27.440
I feel it.
274
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:28.440
Yeah.
275
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:29.440
I feel it right here.
276
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:30.440
Yeah.
277
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:31.440
That's a light.
278
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.040
It could be your liver.
279
00:12:33.040 --> 00:12:34.720
It's like serious.
280
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:37.280
It's probably swollen up here.
281
00:12:37.280 --> 00:12:40.960
Go ahead and get set up.
282
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:42.120
All right.
283
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:43.120
So you felt that.
284
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:45.600
So we're going to get that ab liver thing working.
285
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.400
There we go.
286
00:12:48.400 --> 00:12:51.800
It's okay.
287
00:12:51.800 --> 00:12:57.280
And during that movement, so that's not when the aggressive part is going to
288
00:12:57.280 --> 00:12:58.120
happen.
289
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.570
That's going to be kind of like getting into it so then it can kind of go
290
00:13:01.570 --> 00:13:02.000
through.
291
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:04.840
So there's going to be, do it as a practice swing.
292
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:08.640
There you go.
293
00:13:08.640 --> 00:13:09.640
Okay.
294
00:13:09.640 --> 00:13:12.360
Go ahead and get set up.
295
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:15.920
So I'm blocking here so that I can help him get a little bit more of that
296
00:13:15.920 --> 00:13:16.920
translation.
297
00:13:16.920 --> 00:13:21.320
What did that feel like?
298
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:22.320
Yeah.
299
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:23.320
I felt different.
300
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:24.320
Yeah.
301
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.000
What do you mean the weight block?
302
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:28.000
What?
303
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:30.600
Uh, stand over here.
304
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:33.160
No, no, no.
305
00:13:33.160 --> 00:13:38.450
So I basically have my hand here on the pelvis so that I have something to be
306
00:13:38.450 --> 00:13:39.440
able to push
307
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:40.600
him this way again.
308
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:44.600
So if I just push him, notice how his lower body is going to go too much with
309
00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:45.040
it.
310
00:13:45.040 --> 00:13:50.430
So I'm pushing so that I can get kind of like a little bit of equal movement of
311
00:13:50.430 --> 00:13:51.000
the upper
312
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:54.760
body forward and almost feeling like the lower body is more back.
313
00:13:54.760 --> 00:13:55.760
Yeah.
314
00:13:55.760 --> 00:13:59.480
Because if the relative, that feels way different.
315
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:03.000
That's what I would call stacked.
316
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.140
And so then if you're back, you just have to like time when that arm pulls,
317
00:14:07.140 --> 00:14:07.960
which you're
318
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:08.960
good at.
319
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:14.920
That's why I get this like really gross kind of little bit on my right arm.
320
00:14:14.920 --> 00:14:15.920
Yes.
321
00:14:15.920 --> 00:14:21.400
And potentially that can cause like some spin issues, some pull issues, like
322
00:14:21.400 --> 00:14:22.320
low point out
323
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:28.120
of like fairway bunkers and things like that, like, yeah.
324
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:29.120
All of the above.
325
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:34.280
And we're talking about side bend and jumping the specific area of the side
326
00:14:34.280 --> 00:14:34.960
bend.
327
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:36.880
Well, you mean the translation?
328
00:14:36.880 --> 00:14:41.240
The translation also with the side bend.
329
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:46.910
I mean, the side bend is going to be like the whole spine where the translation
330
00:14:46.910 --> 00:14:47.560
, it's
331
00:14:47.560 --> 00:14:50.960
more of kind of like the bottom of the ribcage is where most people will feel
332
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:51.240
it.
333
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:56.070
It's still kind of like the whole spine moving, but most of it's happening in
334
00:14:56.070 --> 00:14:57.000
the lumbar and
335
00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:58.000
lower ribs.
336
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.500
And you said yesterday that that ribcage translation or whatever is
337
00:15:01.500 --> 00:15:02.800
contributing to like getting
338
00:15:02.800 --> 00:15:06.400
the left foot ground for distortion.
339
00:15:06.400 --> 00:15:07.400
Yeah.
340
00:15:07.400 --> 00:15:08.400
Yeah.
341
00:15:08.400 --> 00:15:10.400
I do feel that.
342
00:15:10.400 --> 00:15:11.400
Yeah.
343
00:15:11.400 --> 00:15:12.400
Yes.
344
00:15:12.400 --> 00:15:15.120
I'm not feeling like I'm pushing my throat.
345
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:16.120
Yeah.
346
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:19.930
And, but that's what's moving you like if I had something measuring it, that's
347
00:15:19.930 --> 00:15:20.460
what would
348
00:15:20.460 --> 00:15:25.480
be moving you over there.
349
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:28.480
Right.
350
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:32.720
That's definitely going to make this a different than that.
351
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:36.680
You would know, you would know, you would just like with like a driver, so the
352
00:15:36.680 --> 00:15:37.640
guy is
353
00:15:37.640 --> 00:15:38.640
trying to get really hard.
354
00:15:38.640 --> 00:15:41.790
Is it a combination of like, there's definitely some trail foot and that's
355
00:15:41.790 --> 00:15:42.980
happening both.
356
00:15:42.980 --> 00:15:47.840
And it's more like, it's on an angle like, like this is more like that way with
357
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:48.520
the driver
358
00:15:48.520 --> 00:15:53.480
versus that way, like with a wedge.
359
00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:54.480
One student described it.
360
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:57.080
So the direction kind of follows the angle of attack.
361
00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:59.080
Like perfect.
362
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:00.560
Yeah.
363
00:16:00.560 --> 00:16:09.840
Yeah, that ribcage stuff is magic for golfers who have like low point issues,
364
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:11.360
especially
365
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:16.240
with the wedge play.
366
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:17.800
Everybody get a chance to try them.
367
00:16:17.800 --> 00:16:18.800
We wanted to.
368
00:16:18.800 --> 00:16:21.120
Everyone tried coaching them.
369
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:22.120
Any questions?
370
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:28.160
I didn't see anybody do lead arm blocking or, okay, you got them all, all right
371
00:16:28.160 --> 00:16:28.520
.
372
00:16:28.520 --> 00:16:29.520
Good.
373
00:16:29.520 --> 00:16:39.580
So then, so like I said, those will be more similar than when we'll do the nest
374
00:16:39.580 --> 00:16:41.000
wedge.
375
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:43.760
Those will be more similar to the full swing because the distance wedge is very
376
00:16:43.760 --> 00:16:44.160
similar
377
00:16:44.160 --> 00:16:47.360
to your full swing, right?
378
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:56.810
Okay, so then, if I don't have access or if I'm doing it as part of the clinic,
379
00:16:56.810 --> 00:16:57.520
then
380
00:16:57.520 --> 00:17:03.560
to try to get the constant radius and stack centers, I will use that axis tilt
381
00:17:03.560 --> 00:17:04.280
station
382
00:17:04.280 --> 00:17:07.480
instead of my hand.
383
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:15.560
For working on the, for working on the constant radius, I'll either use
384
00:17:15.560 --> 00:17:17.760
triangle swings or
385
00:17:17.760 --> 00:17:22.390
like holding a smart ball or a range bucket, not these giant ones, but you know
386
00:17:22.390 --> 00:17:23.160
, like a
387
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:27.520
normal size range bucket to try to maintain that width.
388
00:17:27.520 --> 00:17:30.120
I'll do the towel under the arms.
389
00:17:30.120 --> 00:17:36.960
That's an old classic that a lot of good wedge players say they did a ton of.
390
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:46.600
And then the, one more for the stack centers is trail foot yoga block.
391
00:17:46.600 --> 00:18:03.450
So closest thing, so if I had, so I'll often for driver to work on getting like
392
00:18:03.450 --> 00:18:03.880
a little
393
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:10.900
bit of hip tilt, I'll put lead foot on a yoga block, well, to get a feeling of
394
00:18:10.900 --> 00:18:11.400
my upper
395
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:18.220
body being more forward, that kind of translation, I can preset that pelvis
396
00:18:18.220 --> 00:18:19.680
kind of a little
397
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:23.560
bit tilted the opposite direction by putting the trail foot under a yoga block.
398
00:18:23.560 --> 00:18:26.280
The key here is the position of the yoga block.
399
00:18:26.280 --> 00:18:28.720
You want to get it so that your thighs are normal.
400
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:33.400
So it usually ends up that the yoga block is a little bit back.
401
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.650
It almost looks like it would be closed, but because this knee is bent, like it
402
00:18:37.650 --> 00:18:38.080
gets the
403
00:18:38.080 --> 00:18:41.000
thighs and the pelvis still square to the target line.
404
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:45.490
So this gets me the feeling in this glute that I'm a little bit more over that
405
00:18:45.490 --> 00:18:48.320
front foot.
406
00:18:48.320 --> 00:18:51.940
And then if I'm in this position and I don't go into extension, I'm going to
407
00:18:51.940 --> 00:18:52.800
lose my balance
408
00:18:52.800 --> 00:18:55.960
because my center of mass is going to move outside of my base of support.
409
00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:01.940
So it's a good combo for working on some of the negative torsion or that
410
00:19:01.940 --> 00:19:02.840
extension on
411
00:19:02.840 --> 00:19:06.400
the way through.
412
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:14.650
Then one of the, I think, sleeper drills that's really simple but really
413
00:19:14.650 --> 00:19:17.080
effective for getting
414
00:19:17.080 --> 00:19:21.640
the width in the backswing is a trail arm only backswing.
415
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:26.760
So here, just go ahead and face that way.
416
00:19:26.760 --> 00:19:31.360
So first, just show us what your normal distance wedge backswing looks like.
417
00:19:31.360 --> 00:19:33.200
Let's just see.
418
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:38.800
So not too bad, maybe a little bit of tilt, maybe a little bit of arm bend.
419
00:19:38.800 --> 00:19:43.310
So now take your left arm off and go ahead and make a backswing, just kind of
420
00:19:43.310 --> 00:19:43.880
trying
421
00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:46.480
to feel that right arm perfect.
422
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:51.000
So now, if I hold that there, go ahead and put your left arm where it will be.
423
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:52.000
Does that feel wider?
424
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:53.000
A little bit.
425
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:54.000
Yes.
426
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:55.000
Yeah.
427
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:56.000
It's probably in here.
428
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:57.000
This is here.
429
00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:01.810
So one of the super easy, like this is a really easy drill for like on course
430
00:20:01.810 --> 00:20:02.760
corrections
431
00:20:02.760 --> 00:20:06.530
is, okay, now that you know what we're trying to do with it, right arm only,
432
00:20:06.530 --> 00:20:07.200
try to feel
433
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:09.200
like that right arm stays wide.
434
00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:12.360
So try to feel like that arm stays wide and you're going to get a little bit
435
00:20:12.360 --> 00:20:12.920
more of the
436
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:13.920
height there.
437
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:15.560
Good.
438
00:20:15.560 --> 00:20:19.760
And now that it's in that position, put that left arm on, now he's got maybe a
439
00:20:19.760 --> 00:20:20.400
little bit
440
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:24.010
more pelvis rotation to get there than we would want, but that gets a little
441
00:20:24.010 --> 00:20:24.520
bit more
442
00:20:24.520 --> 00:20:26.800
of the width or the arm structure.
443
00:20:26.800 --> 00:20:29.240
So do that again.
444
00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:35.280
And I'll come, sometimes I'll combo this with go ahead and get set up.
445
00:20:35.280 --> 00:20:42.000
So I would have the axis tilt, go ahead, right arm only, don't touch me, good.
446
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:43.920
And now put the left hand on.
447
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:48.570
So to me, that's a much more stacked, like, that looks like better low point
448
00:20:48.570 --> 00:20:49.160
control
449
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:50.160
potential.
450
00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:52.840
Can you do it in the mirror, right out of your head?
451
00:20:52.840 --> 00:20:53.840
Yeah, absolutely.
452
00:20:53.840 --> 00:20:57.560
But that right arm only drill, right arm only backswing is a really easy way to
453
00:20:57.560 --> 00:20:58.200
get someone
454
00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:02.200
to feel wider at the top, which out, without doing all the shoulder stuff that
455
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:02.680
we tried
456
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:04.240
to do yesterday.
457
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:08.960
You can combo this with like red, trying to get the right grip.
458
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:09.960
Correct.
459
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:10.960
Yep.
460
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:11.960
Okay.
461
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:12.960
Yeah.
462
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:18.230
And then the other one that I'll do, sometimes in clinics is I'll set up the
463
00:21:18.230 --> 00:21:19.680
trajectory gate.
464
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:22.040
Does everyone know how to set that up?
465
00:21:22.040 --> 00:21:25.280
Does anyone know what the trajectory?
466
00:21:25.280 --> 00:21:30.290
So the common, the common number that they'll talk about is launching your wed
467
00:21:30.290 --> 00:21:30.960
ges under
468
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:32.520
30, right?
469
00:21:32.520 --> 00:21:38.760
So a really easy way to get a visual of what is 30 degree angle.
470
00:21:38.760 --> 00:21:43.280
There's two ways, one, modern clubs, that's usually like a six iron.
471
00:21:43.280 --> 00:21:48.780
So if you had like the lie angle tool sticking out of the six iron and you put
472
00:21:48.780 --> 00:21:49.520
that in the
473
00:21:49.520 --> 00:21:52.120
ground at that same angle, right?
474
00:21:52.120 --> 00:21:59.140
So if I put this in the ground basically at the angle of the six iron or done
475
00:21:59.140 --> 00:22:00.120
the other
476
00:22:00.120 --> 00:22:05.240
way, if I can get the six iron flat to the ground, that would be about the 30
477
00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:06.040
degree launch
478
00:22:06.040 --> 00:22:07.040
angle.
479
00:22:07.040 --> 00:22:11.730
So if I were having them set up with their sandwich or lob wedge and just kind
480
00:22:11.730 --> 00:22:12.440
of having
481
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:16.440
this next to it, usually I would put a stick in the ground if I'm setting it up
482
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:17.120
in a clinic
483
00:22:17.120 --> 00:22:18.760
format.
484
00:22:18.760 --> 00:22:26.070
The other way would be if here's my ball position, then 30, 60, 90 triangle
485
00:22:26.070 --> 00:22:28.800
means that if I started
486
00:22:28.800 --> 00:22:38.200
here and I put this basically 1.75 ish, right?
487
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:40.400
This is rough science.
488
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:44.630
That would, if I had a gate of about this height, that would be a 30 degree
489
00:22:44.630 --> 00:22:47.080
angle, basically
490
00:22:47.080 --> 00:22:48.360
keep it under there.
491
00:22:48.360 --> 00:22:51.160
Now it's a little hard to get that perfect if you're using alignment six
492
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:51.800
because you
493
00:22:51.800 --> 00:22:55.250
have to account for how much you're going to push it in and then if you put a
494
00:22:55.250 --> 00:22:55.960
pool noodle
495
00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:58.360
on top or something like that, you have to account for that height.
496
00:22:58.360 --> 00:23:04.750
It gives a rough guide as far as a lot of golfers, they look at the 60 degree
497
00:23:04.750 --> 00:23:05.360
wedge
498
00:23:05.360 --> 00:23:09.090
and it's pointing way up and they're mental images that's going to launch that
499
00:23:09.090 --> 00:23:09.600
high.
500
00:23:09.600 --> 00:23:12.610
When you start getting that gate, some people just start trying to like get
501
00:23:12.610 --> 00:23:13.240
their hands
502
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:17.630
ahead and like launch it, like they make better body passes on the way through
503
00:23:17.630 --> 00:23:18.000
just
504
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:19.960
trying to get the trajectory down.
505
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:23.810
So sometimes I'll combo that, especially if I do that eight week class and we
506
00:23:23.810 --> 00:23:24.480
do distance
507
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:30.880
wedges twice, there's a little, yeah, there's a little motorcycle.
508
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:31.880
Absolutely.
509
00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:32.880
Yep.
510
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:43.080
Yeah, so your basic math, it's like 1.71 and then the hypotenuse would be two.
511
00:23:43.080 --> 00:23:51.680
So if I have a golf ball, again, this is, if you're like, if you're doing it
512
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:52.880
off grass,
513
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:56.320
I hate setting up stations and having to move it around a whole lot.
514
00:23:56.320 --> 00:24:01.650
So this one, the good news is I would probably, I create a gate so I would put
515
00:24:01.650 --> 00:24:02.640
like one stick
516
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:06.280
here, one stick here and have a pool noodle across and then you're just, you
517
00:24:06.280 --> 00:24:06.760
can keep
518
00:24:06.760 --> 00:24:08.480
it the same distance.
519
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:13.480
But basically, if I wanted to really quickly set up about what 30 degrees is.
520
00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:18.560
So there's one and then if I bring that, we'll say 0.71.
521
00:24:18.560 --> 00:24:25.700
So I'm going to say three quarters, then where that is right there, that would
522
00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:26.560
be a 30 degree
523
00:24:26.560 --> 00:24:29.040
angle between this point and there.
524
00:24:29.040 --> 00:24:35.040
And the way I could check it is if you held up a second alignment stick, that's
525
00:24:35.040 --> 00:24:35.800
exactly
526
00:24:35.800 --> 00:24:38.760
the same length of this.
527
00:24:38.760 --> 00:24:40.640
Let's see if my math was right.
528
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:43.800
That should basically get to the golf ball.
529
00:24:43.800 --> 00:24:44.800
There we go.
530
00:24:44.800 --> 00:24:46.280
So our math worked out.
531
00:24:46.280 --> 00:24:51.600
So this would be 2x and the bottom would be 1.75.
532
00:24:51.600 --> 00:24:56.920
The 6 iron loft is usually around 30 degrees.
533
00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.400
So then if I put that down, that's pretty much the same angle.
534
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:01.680
That looks pretty close.
535
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:02.680
Yeah.
536
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:05.760
So those are two different ways to get the visual.
537
00:25:05.760 --> 00:25:16.220
Yeah, so you can try it.
538
00:25:16.220 --> 00:25:22.710
I mean, you're not actually going to be able to see it take off, but you can
539
00:25:22.710 --> 00:25:23.640
kind of-- you
540
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:26.730
can get a sense-- yeah, it gives you a little-- and these things are not going
541
00:25:26.730 --> 00:25:27.060
to launch
542
00:25:27.060 --> 00:25:29.500
at 30 degrees.
543
00:25:29.500 --> 00:25:34.450
That's for your most lofted-- a general guideline is getting the ball to launch
544
00:25:34.450 --> 00:25:35.300
about half the
545
00:25:35.300 --> 00:25:36.780
loft.
546
00:25:36.780 --> 00:25:40.780
So like your 60 degree wedge, your 58 degree wedge, getting it to launch sub 30
547
00:25:40.780 --> 00:25:41.240
is a good
548
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:44.160
goal for these distance wedges.
549
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:51.020
Now that's where the premium-- these walls will not launch that low.
550
00:25:51.020 --> 00:25:53.020
They're too hard.
551
00:25:53.020 --> 00:25:57.560
They're going to launch like 35 at best.
552
00:25:57.560 --> 00:26:01.480
[INAUDIBLE]
553
00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:07.360
Yeah, little known-- little known fact.
554
00:26:07.360 --> 00:26:10.920
[INAUDIBLE]
555
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:15.080
56, 28, testing my math.
556
00:26:15.080 --> 00:26:18.860
Where did I take this one?
557
00:26:18.860 --> 00:26:20.100
This one?
558
00:26:20.100 --> 00:26:22.100
OK.
559
00:26:22.100 --> 00:26:24.380
OK, so let's try those.
560
00:26:24.380 --> 00:26:27.140
So we've got kind of triangle swings.
561
00:26:27.140 --> 00:26:28.900
You've got the single arm to work on that.
562
00:26:28.900 --> 00:26:35.920
You can try propping-- I think you could use like-- I don't have a whole lot of
563
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:36.340
-- I use
564
00:26:36.340 --> 00:26:42.220
yoga blocks a lot-- water bottle works.
565
00:26:42.220 --> 00:26:43.720
You can go up on the toe.
566
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:45.640
That one's just not quite as good.
567
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:53.480
The little rope thing as part of the range there is probably about the right
568
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:54.720
height.
569
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:58.440
And we did the trail arm backswing.
570
00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:00.960
And if you want to set up the trajectory, Kate, you can.
571
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:02.560
I'll have the list here.
572
00:27:02.560 --> 00:27:07.480
I set up the gate a lot of those just kind of figure it out.
573
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:08.480
It's great.
574
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:09.480
Yeah.
575
00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:10.480
Especially-- yeah.
576
00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:11.480
Like kids and stuff.
577
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:12.480
Right.
578
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:13.480
Yeah.
579
00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:15.480
You don't have yoga blocks.
580
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:16.480
Improvising.
581
00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:17.480
Champions adapt.
582
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:34.760
You guys are close enough.
583
00:27:34.760 --> 00:27:39.560
You could probably use that thing.
584
00:27:39.560 --> 00:27:41.640
Like just to get a feel.
585
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:42.640
Yeah.
586
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:43.640
So here, let me see.
587
00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:51.200
It's sturdy enough.
588
00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:53.120
It's to get up here.
589
00:27:53.120 --> 00:27:56.120
Let me try it real quick.
590
00:27:56.120 --> 00:27:59.240
So just basically-- yeah.
591
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:04.070
So it's just to kind of like pre get a little bit of this stacked upper body
592
00:28:04.070 --> 00:28:04.920
and to feel
593
00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:06.320
like it kind of stays there.
594
00:28:06.320 --> 00:28:10.320
So for me, it has more of this feel here where I feel like, all right, that gl
595
00:28:10.320 --> 00:28:10.760
ute is
596
00:28:10.760 --> 00:28:15.350
really working as I go into this extension where normally, like from all my
597
00:28:15.350 --> 00:28:16.320
tennis, I
598
00:28:16.320 --> 00:28:22.150
get a little kind of slidey and I can definitely fall into like a little low
599
00:28:22.150 --> 00:28:23.120
point issue on
600
00:28:23.120 --> 00:28:27.040
these.
601
00:28:27.040 --> 00:28:40.160
And remember, distance wedges can be anywhere from 40 yards to 100 yards or so.
602
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:49.960
So you could do more of the 40 yard version when you're doing these ones.
603
00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:51.440
Yep.
604
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:53.200
Yep.
605
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:58.840
Just a little bit of that, okay?
606
00:28:58.840 --> 00:29:03.440
Feel a little different contact?
607
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:04.440
Yeah.
608
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:10.840
That's like popping the ribs out.
609
00:29:10.840 --> 00:29:11.840
Yeah.
610
00:29:11.840 --> 00:29:12.840
Ribcage way.
611
00:29:12.840 --> 00:29:13.840
All right.
612
00:29:13.840 --> 00:29:14.840
Any questions down here?
613
00:29:14.840 --> 00:29:18.940
Do you have any drills for the constant or the smooth part?
614
00:29:18.940 --> 00:29:26.760
Well, so the main kind of catalyst for the smooth part is the motion of the rib
615
00:29:26.760 --> 00:29:27.760
cage compared
616
00:29:27.760 --> 00:29:29.800
to the arms.
617
00:29:29.800 --> 00:29:33.610
So the more that you're kind of like throwing with your arms, you'll have
618
00:29:33.610 --> 00:29:34.560
faster and kind
619
00:29:34.560 --> 00:29:38.960
of one speed, the more that you're able to hit it more with your body.
620
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:41.960
It'll be smoother and you can regulate speed better.
621
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:46.880
You can kind of like dial in your tempos better.
622
00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:52.600
The only little discussion I had was about kind of this ribcage movement.
623
00:29:52.600 --> 00:29:57.520
Some people will get really stuck, like I can have a tendency to be more on the
624
00:29:57.520 --> 00:29:58.000
right
625
00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:59.720
side because I played a lot of tennis.
626
00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:02.820
And if you're ever here, that feels like it's going to be a terrible shot,
627
00:30:02.820 --> 00:30:03.280
right?
628
00:30:03.280 --> 00:30:05.940
So you're always kind of on this side.
629
00:30:05.940 --> 00:30:09.600
So for some people, I'll explain that like if you had your spine, it's like I'm
630
00:30:09.600 --> 00:30:10.040
trying
631
00:30:10.040 --> 00:30:15.200
to get onto the left side of the spine instead of the right side of the spine.
632
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:20.320
And that has a relative feel of the lower body being almost a little bit more
633
00:30:20.320 --> 00:30:21.080
back compared
634
00:30:21.080 --> 00:30:22.720
to what I would used to.
635
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:27.840
If I'm used to being here, then it's getting not just upper body forward but
636
00:30:27.840 --> 00:30:28.600
lower body
637
00:30:28.600 --> 00:30:29.600
more back.
638
00:30:29.600 --> 00:30:34.890
So it's a common kind of explanation that I'll have to give, but all right, any
639
00:30:34.890 --> 00:30:35.720
questions
640
00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:41.000
about the distance wedges, otherwise we're going to head back and thaw out,
641
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:41.760
warm up and
642
00:30:41.760 --> 00:30:44.640
then reconvene for the short game stuff.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.080
Okay, so with all the wedges, this would have been ideal if I could kind of do
2
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:07.440
the power
3
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.000
points, but you know, just kind of the structure.
4
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:17.310
I'll just kind of talk through what's on the power point for the distance wedge
5
00:00:17.310 --> 00:00:17.640
.
6
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:24.670
So with all the wedges, I've kind of, I used three big buckets of goals,
7
00:00:24.670 --> 00:00:26.040
therefore being
8
00:00:26.040 --> 00:00:31.160
able to control contact, being able to control loft or trajectory, and being
9
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:32.280
able to control
10
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:34.580
like your speed for distance, right?
11
00:00:34.580 --> 00:00:40.430
So I usually use the three goals for all the wedges of stack centers, constant
12
00:00:40.430 --> 00:00:41.200
radius,
13
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:42.200
smooth force.
14
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:48.240
I think those are the traits that you see versions of with most good wedge
15
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:49.240
players,
16
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:50.240
right?
17
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:55.530
So stack centers is essentially getting your upper body more on top of your
18
00:00:55.530 --> 00:00:56.380
lower body
19
00:00:56.380 --> 00:00:57.800
or having these more vertical.
20
00:00:57.800 --> 00:01:01.540
So not having that 20 degrees of side bend that some people, that we want with
21
00:01:01.540 --> 00:01:02.240
the driver,
22
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.880
that a lot of people do even with their irons.
23
00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:08.720
That comes down a lot to this ribcage sway.
24
00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:14.430
So that little warm up thing that we did, oftentimes I'll do that as a little
25
00:01:14.430 --> 00:01:15.820
primer to then trying
26
00:01:15.820 --> 00:01:20.400
to get a little bit more of that forward movement of the upper body or the ribc
27
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.380
age sway.
28
00:01:23.380 --> 00:01:28.890
With the wedges, like especially in the finesse wedges and stuff, we'll preset
29
00:01:28.890 --> 00:01:29.860
some of that.
30
00:01:29.860 --> 00:01:33.610
But here in the distance wedge, we can preset a little bit and get some of it
31
00:01:33.610 --> 00:01:34.380
dynamically
32
00:01:34.380 --> 00:01:35.900
in transition.
33
00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:39.350
That's kind of shifting the weight, but that helps with getting the stack
34
00:01:39.350 --> 00:01:39.780
centers.
35
00:01:39.780 --> 00:01:44.330
That also helps by having the center stack that helps with the height of the
36
00:01:44.330 --> 00:01:45.180
low point,
37
00:01:45.180 --> 00:01:50.860
or the depth, like the swing, so you're not having super deep divots.
38
00:01:50.860 --> 00:01:55.240
From the constant radius, we're trying to have the arms stay a little bit more
39
00:01:55.240 --> 00:01:55.820
in front
40
00:01:55.820 --> 00:02:00.940
of the body instead of getting way behind or having like big radius changes or
41
00:02:00.940 --> 00:02:01.580
typically
42
00:02:01.580 --> 00:02:06.140
either the elbows or more likely the shoulder blades.
43
00:02:06.140 --> 00:02:11.710
So if I keep this more in front, then the shoulder blades don't have to move as
44
00:02:11.710 --> 00:02:12.460
much.
45
00:02:12.460 --> 00:02:15.860
It's controlled the width or the radius.
46
00:02:15.860 --> 00:02:19.580
And then smooth force is on the way through.
47
00:02:19.580 --> 00:02:23.270
Like a lot of bad wedge players kind of have fast acceleration either in
48
00:02:23.270 --> 00:02:24.100
transition or
49
00:02:24.100 --> 00:02:28.000
like a fast movement of the arms through the ball.
50
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:35.680
So getting more of the body leading helps with the radius as well as helps with
51
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:36.240
this
52
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.340
smooth force idea.
53
00:02:39.340 --> 00:02:43.390
That sounds like, so there's a little bit more detail in that in the power
54
00:02:43.390 --> 00:02:44.300
point, but those
55
00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:46.380
are kind of the three big buckets.
56
00:02:46.380 --> 00:02:53.020
So hands-on drills for the distance wedges, I coach that it's kind of more like
57
00:02:53.020 --> 00:02:54.220
a spectrum,
58
00:02:54.220 --> 00:02:57.970
so you know, you have your driver at one end and you have your putter or ch
59
00:02:57.970 --> 00:02:58.620
ipping at the
60
00:02:58.620 --> 00:02:59.780
other end.
61
00:02:59.780 --> 00:03:03.780
The distance wedges are part of the wedge family, but they're closer to the
62
00:03:03.780 --> 00:03:04.620
full swing.
63
00:03:04.620 --> 00:03:08.840
So a lot of what you did yesterday with the hands-on could be applied, but we
64
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:09.760
're probably
65
00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:13.320
not going to get like, you know, some of these big hip movements and things
66
00:03:13.320 --> 00:03:13.940
like that.
67
00:03:13.940 --> 00:03:18.680
We're going to have everything kind of like working more as a unified kind of
68
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:19.260
working
69
00:03:19.260 --> 00:03:21.260
more together.
70
00:03:21.260 --> 00:03:25.980
So I do a lot of hands-on rib coaching for the distance wedges.
71
00:03:25.980 --> 00:03:31.420
I do a little bit of what we did with the arms kind of maintaining there.
72
00:03:31.420 --> 00:03:36.730
And I'll do the lead arm blocking to make sure that it's not kind of pulling
73
00:03:36.730 --> 00:03:37.380
around
74
00:03:37.380 --> 00:03:41.580
too much in narrowing the radius there on the way through.
75
00:03:41.580 --> 00:03:44.180
So let me just look through real quick.
76
00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:50.570
So in the manual we have the axis tilt, so that helps with stack centered
77
00:03:50.570 --> 00:03:51.740
centers.
78
00:03:51.740 --> 00:03:55.470
We have rib cage support in the backswing, helps with stack centers as well as
79
00:03:55.470 --> 00:03:56.060
constant
80
00:03:56.060 --> 00:03:57.220
radius.
81
00:03:57.220 --> 00:03:59.620
We have the transition pump, which we already did.
82
00:03:59.620 --> 00:04:04.140
We just do it a little bit differently with the distance wedge.
83
00:04:04.140 --> 00:04:09.260
And then we have the rib cage coasting to finish and the lead arm blocking to
84
00:04:09.260 --> 00:04:10.060
finish.
85
00:04:10.060 --> 00:04:14.250
So there's only a handful of ones that I put as kind of like, specific for the
86
00:04:14.250 --> 00:04:14.860
distance
87
00:04:14.860 --> 00:04:15.860
wedge.
88
00:04:15.860 --> 00:04:22.340
Okay, so axis tilt guide, do you want to do it since you're?
89
00:04:22.340 --> 00:04:26.020
So we'll say, yeah, that guy right there is the golf ball.
90
00:04:26.020 --> 00:04:30.380
So basically what I'll do is I'll usually show them where the golf ball is.
91
00:04:30.380 --> 00:04:33.850
This is primarily for golfers who tend to shift too much that way during the
92
00:04:33.850 --> 00:04:34.420
backswing
93
00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:36.460
or during transition.
94
00:04:36.460 --> 00:04:39.490
And then I'll say go ahead and make a backswing and we're just going to see
95
00:04:39.490 --> 00:04:40.260
where you stay
96
00:04:40.260 --> 00:04:41.260
in orientation.
97
00:04:41.260 --> 00:04:42.460
All right, not bad.
98
00:04:42.460 --> 00:04:46.180
And then come one down and all the way through.
99
00:04:46.180 --> 00:04:50.740
And so this one's pretty easy because it's kind of hands on, but technically I
100
00:04:50.740 --> 00:04:52.140
'm not touching.
101
00:04:52.140 --> 00:04:54.980
Just kind of make a swing.
102
00:04:54.980 --> 00:04:55.980
Good.
103
00:04:55.980 --> 00:05:00.580
So if you feel any different or for you, that's pretty normal.
104
00:05:00.580 --> 00:05:04.300
So even just having that little feet, I didn't look like he was working too
105
00:05:04.300 --> 00:05:05.100
hard, but you
106
00:05:05.100 --> 00:05:11.020
normally, oh, yes, and do you normally have a little contact problem with?
107
00:05:11.020 --> 00:05:15.590
So that's one of the number one, you know, low point moving backward mechanism,
108
00:05:15.590 --> 00:05:16.300
especially
109
00:05:16.300 --> 00:05:17.300
for the wedges.
110
00:05:17.300 --> 00:05:18.300
Okay.
111
00:05:18.300 --> 00:05:20.960
So now if I wanted, let's say that wasn't enough and he still wasn't staying
112
00:05:20.960 --> 00:05:21.420
there, now
113
00:05:21.420 --> 00:05:23.660
go ahead and get set up.
114
00:05:23.660 --> 00:05:27.340
Now I'm going to emphasize the rib cage kind of going more this way.
115
00:05:27.340 --> 00:05:29.380
So go ahead and make your backswing.
116
00:05:29.380 --> 00:05:30.380
Good.
117
00:05:30.380 --> 00:05:35.160
What did I feel like compared to the, you feel like you're doing the back bend
118
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:35.660
limbo
119
00:05:35.660 --> 00:05:36.660
yoga pose?
120
00:05:36.660 --> 00:05:37.660
Yeah.
121
00:05:37.660 --> 00:05:38.660
All right.
122
00:05:38.660 --> 00:05:39.660
Go ahead.
123
00:05:39.660 --> 00:05:40.660
Good.
124
00:05:40.660 --> 00:05:43.220
And this would be another good one where I'd kind of go, go there and then you
125
00:05:43.220 --> 00:05:43.660
're going
126
00:05:43.660 --> 00:05:44.860
to swing down.
127
00:05:44.860 --> 00:05:48.620
So, so I help him get up to there, do it again.
128
00:05:48.620 --> 00:05:52.070
Notice how when he started thinking about swinging down, this would be one
129
00:05:52.070 --> 00:05:52.500
where I kind
130
00:05:52.500 --> 00:05:56.220
of get in position and then try to let them go.
131
00:05:56.220 --> 00:06:01.740
Or I could combo this with go up there and then on the way through more there.
132
00:06:01.740 --> 00:06:05.340
So it has kind of a little bit more of a feeling like that as opposed to just
133
00:06:05.340 --> 00:06:06.660
pure rotation.
134
00:06:06.660 --> 00:06:09.260
Can you feel it?
135
00:06:09.260 --> 00:06:10.260
Good.
136
00:06:10.260 --> 00:06:11.260
Yeah.
137
00:06:11.260 --> 00:06:18.420
Did that feel different more in the backswing or more in the follow through?
138
00:06:18.420 --> 00:06:19.420
Follow through.
139
00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:20.420
Okay.
140
00:06:20.420 --> 00:06:24.420
So even though the initial like backswing felt different, the follow through
141
00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:25.020
felt even
142
00:06:25.020 --> 00:06:26.940
mainly because I lost my balance.
143
00:06:26.940 --> 00:06:27.940
Okay.
144
00:06:27.940 --> 00:06:28.940
That's fine.
145
00:06:28.940 --> 00:06:33.140
Uh, what were the, and then okay, the pump.
146
00:06:33.140 --> 00:06:36.800
So go up to the top of the swing.
147
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:41.540
So now I'm going to try to emphasize getting a little bit wider there.
148
00:06:41.540 --> 00:06:46.240
And now when we pump down, come on down, basically what I'm trying to do is I
149
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:47.460
am getting a little
150
00:06:47.460 --> 00:06:52.660
bit, like I'm guiding a little bit of the arm extension, could you feel?
151
00:06:52.660 --> 00:06:56.100
So instead of like the full swing where I'm really kind of like holding this
152
00:06:56.100 --> 00:06:56.580
and getting
153
00:06:56.580 --> 00:07:01.850
into like a little bit more side bend, on this one, I'm kind of like guiding it
154
00:07:01.850 --> 00:07:02.700
, starting
155
00:07:02.700 --> 00:07:04.700
to straighten as it's getting down in front.
156
00:07:04.700 --> 00:07:06.460
Can you feel that?
157
00:07:06.460 --> 00:07:07.460
Yep.
158
00:07:07.460 --> 00:07:08.660
And then start going into your extension.
159
00:07:08.660 --> 00:07:09.660
Good.
160
00:07:09.660 --> 00:07:12.900
And now I'm in position where I could easily do that lead arm blocking.
161
00:07:12.900 --> 00:07:18.580
So now go ahead and get set up, go up to the top of your swing.
162
00:07:18.580 --> 00:07:19.580
Come on down.
163
00:07:19.580 --> 00:07:21.580
Start going into extension.
164
00:07:21.580 --> 00:07:22.580
Good.
165
00:07:22.580 --> 00:07:27.380
That's a big one.
166
00:07:27.380 --> 00:07:32.500
So that was kind of like almost like a more real world, uh, version of how I
167
00:07:32.500 --> 00:07:33.300
would kind
168
00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:35.740
of coach through those different parts.
169
00:07:35.740 --> 00:07:39.370
So I started with the stack, made sure the backswing was okay, focused on the
170
00:07:39.370 --> 00:07:39.900
width, got
171
00:07:39.900 --> 00:07:43.860
the sequencing of the arms in front, and then really focused on, on kind of the
172
00:07:43.860 --> 00:07:44.420
extension
173
00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:45.420
on the way through.
174
00:07:45.420 --> 00:07:47.220
Does that make sense?
175
00:07:47.220 --> 00:07:57.050
So if you look at the graphs, there's more of a cast pattern, meaning I usually
176
00:07:57.050 --> 00:07:58.020
use the
177
00:07:58.020 --> 00:08:01.380
example of a overhand throw versus underhand toss.
178
00:08:01.380 --> 00:08:05.260
So in an overhand throw, there's going to be a weight shift backward.
179
00:08:05.260 --> 00:08:06.460
There's weight shift forward.
180
00:08:06.460 --> 00:08:07.460
There's sequencing.
181
00:08:07.460 --> 00:08:09.180
And then there's like snap.
182
00:08:09.180 --> 00:08:12.380
There's all that to create speed.
183
00:08:12.380 --> 00:08:15.340
With an underhand toss, I'm not really going to rock backward.
184
00:08:15.340 --> 00:08:16.740
I'm already backward.
185
00:08:16.740 --> 00:08:20.820
So there's, as sequence would say, energy's always moving towards the target.
186
00:08:20.820 --> 00:08:24.980
And I'm using my whole body kind of like more in concert together, as opposed
187
00:08:24.980 --> 00:08:25.580
to having
188
00:08:25.580 --> 00:08:26.820
that sequence.
189
00:08:26.820 --> 00:08:30.180
So the graphs kind of match that.
190
00:08:30.180 --> 00:08:34.180
So you'll see a little bit more of like everything rotating together and having
191
00:08:34.180 --> 00:08:35.280
more of a coasting
192
00:08:35.280 --> 00:08:39.740
through impact, rather than a big bracing.
193
00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:45.370
So I think the timings are like the timing of the vertical and stuff is still
194
00:08:45.370 --> 00:08:46.020
around
195
00:08:46.020 --> 00:08:53.380
arm parallel, but it's like less explosive and more like smooth, okay?
196
00:08:53.380 --> 00:08:54.380
More of a coast.
197
00:08:54.380 --> 00:08:55.380
That's the.
198
00:08:55.380 --> 00:08:56.380
70% feel?
199
00:08:56.380 --> 00:09:00.060
For a lot of people, yeah, 50, 60, 70.
200
00:09:00.060 --> 00:09:01.060
Yeah.
201
00:09:01.060 --> 00:09:02.060
Definitely not 90.
202
00:09:02.060 --> 00:09:13.540
That was the, yeah, the main thing for him was feeling the arm a little wider
203
00:09:13.540 --> 00:09:14.200
at the top
204
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:18.580
of the swing and then going into extension to prevent the arms from, from kind
205
00:09:18.580 --> 00:09:19.080
of like
206
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:22.680
really reaching on the way through.
207
00:09:22.680 --> 00:09:26.130
He didn't need as much of the constant radius as he needed more of the stack
208
00:09:26.130 --> 00:09:26.800
centers and
209
00:09:26.800 --> 00:09:29.160
a little bit more of the smooth force.
210
00:09:29.160 --> 00:09:33.840
But you'll feel some, some people are really just kind of like trying to do it
211
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:34.480
all with
212
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:38.520
their arms and their radius changes a lot.
213
00:09:38.520 --> 00:09:51.280
Yeah, and I would also, so yes, I don't have quite as much data on like 68 to
214
00:09:51.280 --> 00:09:53.360
80 yard.
215
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:59.080
Definitely in the shorter, like the 30 yard, I've got decent data set.
216
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:09.680
Yeah, it stays, it stays wider, it doesn't get nearly as narrow.
217
00:10:09.680 --> 00:10:12.640
So that's where the radius is from the grip.
218
00:10:12.640 --> 00:10:17.920
So if you're doing it like this, then the radius still stays the same.
219
00:10:17.920 --> 00:10:20.880
It's not radius to the club head, it's radius to the grip.
220
00:10:20.880 --> 00:10:21.880
Right.
221
00:10:21.880 --> 00:10:22.880
Yeah.
222
00:10:22.880 --> 00:10:33.680
So you can be wristy, mid hands, okay, so let's get into your C1, D1, T1.
223
00:10:33.680 --> 00:10:40.430
So we've got the axis tilt, the rib cage backswing, the transition pump, the
224
00:10:40.430 --> 00:10:41.520
rib cage finish
225
00:10:41.520 --> 00:10:48.160
and the lead arm blocking.
226
00:10:48.160 --> 00:10:52.760
Are you pretty good with your wedges?
227
00:10:52.760 --> 00:10:54.680
Yeah, come on.
228
00:10:54.680 --> 00:10:57.440
I have moments where I'm pretty good.
229
00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:58.440
Gotcha.
230
00:10:58.440 --> 00:10:59.440
You're like the rest of us?
231
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:00.440
That's why you coach?
232
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:01.440
Yeah.
233
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:02.440
I see.
234
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:03.440
So who's coaching him?
235
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:04.440
This is perfect.
236
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:05.440
Who's coaching him?
237
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:06.440
No.
238
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:07.440
Yeah.
239
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:17.320
So you got to have your, we need more translation if you're going to do that.
240
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:21.830
So, so go up to the, then this is where I'll use a little bit of this
241
00:11:21.830 --> 00:11:23.200
creativity to kind
242
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:27.560
of like go up to the top and then give me a little bit of the translation here.
243
00:11:27.560 --> 00:11:28.560
Good.
244
00:11:28.560 --> 00:11:30.680
And now start going into extension.
245
00:11:30.680 --> 00:11:31.680
What does that feel like?
246
00:11:31.680 --> 00:11:33.840
Does that feel more forward, more stacked?
247
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:36.920
So now I'm kind of blocking here and guiding it a little bit.
248
00:11:36.920 --> 00:11:40.600
So I would still put this in the category of rib cage guiding.
249
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:46.440
What did I feel like?
250
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:47.440
Different?
251
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:48.440
Yeah.
252
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:49.440
What's the contact you're doing?
253
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:50.440
Yeah.
254
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:53.040
So that's why the contact was off on the first one.
255
00:11:53.040 --> 00:11:54.040
To that, man.
256
00:11:54.040 --> 00:11:58.320
Can you help me learn how to do the first day at really well?
257
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:02.860
Like where am I supposed to be feeling it like I'm like, kind of the bottom of
258
00:12:02.860 --> 00:12:03.560
the ribs
259
00:12:03.560 --> 00:12:04.560
here.
260
00:12:04.560 --> 00:12:06.560
So try to move this laterally.
261
00:12:06.560 --> 00:12:07.560
Yep.
262
00:12:07.560 --> 00:12:09.800
That's, what do you mean?
263
00:12:09.800 --> 00:12:10.800
That's awesome.
264
00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:12.440
It doesn't like when I'm coiled.
265
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:14.800
So now go ahead and do that same motion.
266
00:12:14.800 --> 00:12:16.400
There you go.
267
00:12:16.400 --> 00:12:18.200
Good.
268
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:21.840
Now at the same time, so do that.
269
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:23.440
Now turn this out of the way.
270
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:24.440
Good.
271
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:25.440
You feel that tension?
272
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:26.440
Yeah.
273
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:27.440
I feel it.
274
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:28.440
Yeah.
275
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:29.440
I feel it right here.
276
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:30.440
Yeah.
277
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:31.440
That's a light.
278
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.040
It could be your liver.
279
00:12:33.040 --> 00:12:34.720
It's like serious.
280
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:37.280
It's probably swollen up here.
281
00:12:37.280 --> 00:12:40.960
Go ahead and get set up.
282
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:42.120
All right.
283
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:43.120
So you felt that.
284
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:45.600
So we're going to get that ab liver thing working.
285
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.400
There we go.
286
00:12:48.400 --> 00:12:51.800
It's okay.
287
00:12:51.800 --> 00:12:57.280
And during that movement, so that's not when the aggressive part is going to
288
00:12:57.280 --> 00:12:58.120
happen.
289
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.570
That's going to be kind of like getting into it so then it can kind of go
290
00:13:01.570 --> 00:13:02.000
through.
291
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:04.840
So there's going to be, do it as a practice swing.
292
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:08.640
There you go.
293
00:13:08.640 --> 00:13:09.640
Okay.
294
00:13:09.640 --> 00:13:12.360
Go ahead and get set up.
295
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:15.920
So I'm blocking here so that I can help him get a little bit more of that
296
00:13:15.920 --> 00:13:16.920
translation.
297
00:13:16.920 --> 00:13:21.320
What did that feel like?
298
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:22.320
Yeah.
299
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:23.320
I felt different.
300
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:24.320
Yeah.
301
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.000
What do you mean the weight block?
302
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:28.000
What?
303
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:30.600
Uh, stand over here.
304
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:33.160
No, no, no.
305
00:13:33.160 --> 00:13:38.450
So I basically have my hand here on the pelvis so that I have something to be
306
00:13:38.450 --> 00:13:39.440
able to push
307
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:40.600
him this way again.
308
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:44.600
So if I just push him, notice how his lower body is going to go too much with
309
00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:45.040
it.
310
00:13:45.040 --> 00:13:50.430
So I'm pushing so that I can get kind of like a little bit of equal movement of
311
00:13:50.430 --> 00:13:51.000
the upper
312
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:54.760
body forward and almost feeling like the lower body is more back.
313
00:13:54.760 --> 00:13:55.760
Yeah.
314
00:13:55.760 --> 00:13:59.480
Because if the relative, that feels way different.
315
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:03.000
That's what I would call stacked.
316
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.140
And so then if you're back, you just have to like time when that arm pulls,
317
00:14:07.140 --> 00:14:07.960
which you're
318
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:08.960
good at.
319
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:14.920
That's why I get this like really gross kind of little bit on my right arm.
320
00:14:14.920 --> 00:14:15.920
Yes.
321
00:14:15.920 --> 00:14:21.400
And potentially that can cause like some spin issues, some pull issues, like
322
00:14:21.400 --> 00:14:22.320
low point out
323
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:28.120
of like fairway bunkers and things like that, like, yeah.
324
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:29.120
All of the above.
325
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:34.280
And we're talking about side bend and jumping the specific area of the side
326
00:14:34.280 --> 00:14:34.960
bend.
327
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:36.880
Well, you mean the translation?
328
00:14:36.880 --> 00:14:41.240
The translation also with the side bend.
329
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:46.910
I mean, the side bend is going to be like the whole spine where the translation
330
00:14:46.910 --> 00:14:47.560
, it's
331
00:14:47.560 --> 00:14:50.960
more of kind of like the bottom of the ribcage is where most people will feel
332
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:51.240
it.
333
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:56.070
It's still kind of like the whole spine moving, but most of it's happening in
334
00:14:56.070 --> 00:14:57.000
the lumbar and
335
00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:58.000
lower ribs.
336
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.500
And you said yesterday that that ribcage translation or whatever is
337
00:15:01.500 --> 00:15:02.800
contributing to like getting
338
00:15:02.800 --> 00:15:06.400
the left foot ground for distortion.
339
00:15:06.400 --> 00:15:07.400
Yeah.
340
00:15:07.400 --> 00:15:08.400
Yeah.
341
00:15:08.400 --> 00:15:10.400
I do feel that.
342
00:15:10.400 --> 00:15:11.400
Yeah.
343
00:15:11.400 --> 00:15:12.400
Yes.
344
00:15:12.400 --> 00:15:15.120
I'm not feeling like I'm pushing my throat.
345
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:16.120
Yeah.
346
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:19.930
And, but that's what's moving you like if I had something measuring it, that's
347
00:15:19.930 --> 00:15:20.460
what would
348
00:15:20.460 --> 00:15:25.480
be moving you over there.
349
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:28.480
Right.
350
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:32.720
That's definitely going to make this a different than that.
351
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:36.680
You would know, you would know, you would just like with like a driver, so the
352
00:15:36.680 --> 00:15:37.640
guy is
353
00:15:37.640 --> 00:15:38.640
trying to get really hard.
354
00:15:38.640 --> 00:15:41.790
Is it a combination of like, there's definitely some trail foot and that's
355
00:15:41.790 --> 00:15:42.980
happening both.
356
00:15:42.980 --> 00:15:47.840
And it's more like, it's on an angle like, like this is more like that way with
357
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:48.520
the driver
358
00:15:48.520 --> 00:15:53.480
versus that way, like with a wedge.
359
00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:54.480
One student described it.
360
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:57.080
So the direction kind of follows the angle of attack.
361
00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:59.080
Like perfect.
362
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:00.560
Yeah.
363
00:16:00.560 --> 00:16:09.840
Yeah, that ribcage stuff is magic for golfers who have like low point issues,
364
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:11.360
especially
365
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:16.240
with the wedge play.
366
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:17.800
Everybody get a chance to try them.
367
00:16:17.800 --> 00:16:18.800
We wanted to.
368
00:16:18.800 --> 00:16:21.120
Everyone tried coaching them.
369
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:22.120
Any questions?
370
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:28.160
I didn't see anybody do lead arm blocking or, okay, you got them all, all right
371
00:16:28.160 --> 00:16:28.520
.
372
00:16:28.520 --> 00:16:29.520
Good.
373
00:16:29.520 --> 00:16:39.580
So then, so like I said, those will be more similar than when we'll do the nest
374
00:16:39.580 --> 00:16:41.000
wedge.
375
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:43.760
Those will be more similar to the full swing because the distance wedge is very
376
00:16:43.760 --> 00:16:44.160
similar
377
00:16:44.160 --> 00:16:47.360
to your full swing, right?
378
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:56.810
Okay, so then, if I don't have access or if I'm doing it as part of the clinic,
379
00:16:56.810 --> 00:16:57.520
then
380
00:16:57.520 --> 00:17:03.560
to try to get the constant radius and stack centers, I will use that axis tilt
381
00:17:03.560 --> 00:17:04.280
station
382
00:17:04.280 --> 00:17:07.480
instead of my hand.
383
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:15.560
For working on the, for working on the constant radius, I'll either use
384
00:17:15.560 --> 00:17:17.760
triangle swings or
385
00:17:17.760 --> 00:17:22.390
like holding a smart ball or a range bucket, not these giant ones, but you know
386
00:17:22.390 --> 00:17:23.160
, like a
387
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:27.520
normal size range bucket to try to maintain that width.
388
00:17:27.520 --> 00:17:30.120
I'll do the towel under the arms.
389
00:17:30.120 --> 00:17:36.960
That's an old classic that a lot of good wedge players say they did a ton of.
390
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:46.600
And then the, one more for the stack centers is trail foot yoga block.
391
00:17:46.600 --> 00:18:03.450
So closest thing, so if I had, so I'll often for driver to work on getting like
392
00:18:03.450 --> 00:18:03.880
a little
393
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:10.900
bit of hip tilt, I'll put lead foot on a yoga block, well, to get a feeling of
394
00:18:10.900 --> 00:18:11.400
my upper
395
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:18.220
body being more forward, that kind of translation, I can preset that pelvis
396
00:18:18.220 --> 00:18:19.680
kind of a little
397
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:23.560
bit tilted the opposite direction by putting the trail foot under a yoga block.
398
00:18:23.560 --> 00:18:26.280
The key here is the position of the yoga block.
399
00:18:26.280 --> 00:18:28.720
You want to get it so that your thighs are normal.
400
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:33.400
So it usually ends up that the yoga block is a little bit back.
401
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.650
It almost looks like it would be closed, but because this knee is bent, like it
402
00:18:37.650 --> 00:18:38.080
gets the
403
00:18:38.080 --> 00:18:41.000
thighs and the pelvis still square to the target line.
404
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:45.490
So this gets me the feeling in this glute that I'm a little bit more over that
405
00:18:45.490 --> 00:18:48.320
front foot.
406
00:18:48.320 --> 00:18:51.940
And then if I'm in this position and I don't go into extension, I'm going to
407
00:18:51.940 --> 00:18:52.800
lose my balance
408
00:18:52.800 --> 00:18:55.960
because my center of mass is going to move outside of my base of support.
409
00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:01.940
So it's a good combo for working on some of the negative torsion or that
410
00:19:01.940 --> 00:19:02.840
extension on
411
00:19:02.840 --> 00:19:06.400
the way through.
412
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:14.650
Then one of the, I think, sleeper drills that's really simple but really
413
00:19:14.650 --> 00:19:17.080
effective for getting
414
00:19:17.080 --> 00:19:21.640
the width in the backswing is a trail arm only backswing.
415
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:26.760
So here, just go ahead and face that way.
416
00:19:26.760 --> 00:19:31.360
So first, just show us what your normal distance wedge backswing looks like.
417
00:19:31.360 --> 00:19:33.200
Let's just see.
418
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:38.800
So not too bad, maybe a little bit of tilt, maybe a little bit of arm bend.
419
00:19:38.800 --> 00:19:43.310
So now take your left arm off and go ahead and make a backswing, just kind of
420
00:19:43.310 --> 00:19:43.880
trying
421
00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:46.480
to feel that right arm perfect.
422
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:51.000
So now, if I hold that there, go ahead and put your left arm where it will be.
423
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:52.000
Does that feel wider?
424
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:53.000
A little bit.
425
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:54.000
Yes.
426
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:55.000
Yeah.
427
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:56.000
It's probably in here.
428
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:57.000
This is here.
429
00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:01.810
So one of the super easy, like this is a really easy drill for like on course
430
00:20:01.810 --> 00:20:02.760
corrections
431
00:20:02.760 --> 00:20:06.530
is, okay, now that you know what we're trying to do with it, right arm only,
432
00:20:06.530 --> 00:20:07.200
try to feel
433
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:09.200
like that right arm stays wide.
434
00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:12.360
So try to feel like that arm stays wide and you're going to get a little bit
435
00:20:12.360 --> 00:20:12.920
more of the
436
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:13.920
height there.
437
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:15.560
Good.
438
00:20:15.560 --> 00:20:19.760
And now that it's in that position, put that left arm on, now he's got maybe a
439
00:20:19.760 --> 00:20:20.400
little bit
440
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:24.010
more pelvis rotation to get there than we would want, but that gets a little
441
00:20:24.010 --> 00:20:24.520
bit more
442
00:20:24.520 --> 00:20:26.800
of the width or the arm structure.
443
00:20:26.800 --> 00:20:29.240
So do that again.
444
00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:35.280
And I'll come, sometimes I'll combo this with go ahead and get set up.
445
00:20:35.280 --> 00:20:42.000
So I would have the axis tilt, go ahead, right arm only, don't touch me, good.
446
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:43.920
And now put the left hand on.
447
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:48.570
So to me, that's a much more stacked, like, that looks like better low point
448
00:20:48.570 --> 00:20:49.160
control
449
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:50.160
potential.
450
00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:52.840
Can you do it in the mirror, right out of your head?
451
00:20:52.840 --> 00:20:53.840
Yeah, absolutely.
452
00:20:53.840 --> 00:20:57.560
But that right arm only drill, right arm only backswing is a really easy way to
453
00:20:57.560 --> 00:20:58.200
get someone
454
00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:02.200
to feel wider at the top, which out, without doing all the shoulder stuff that
455
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:02.680
we tried
456
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:04.240
to do yesterday.
457
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:08.960
You can combo this with like red, trying to get the right grip.
458
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:09.960
Correct.
459
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:10.960
Yep.
460
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:11.960
Okay.
461
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:12.960
Yeah.
462
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:18.230
And then the other one that I'll do, sometimes in clinics is I'll set up the
463
00:21:18.230 --> 00:21:19.680
trajectory gate.
464
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:22.040
Does everyone know how to set that up?
465
00:21:22.040 --> 00:21:25.280
Does anyone know what the trajectory?
466
00:21:25.280 --> 00:21:30.290
So the common, the common number that they'll talk about is launching your wed
467
00:21:30.290 --> 00:21:30.960
ges under
468
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:32.520
30, right?
469
00:21:32.520 --> 00:21:38.760
So a really easy way to get a visual of what is 30 degree angle.
470
00:21:38.760 --> 00:21:43.280
There's two ways, one, modern clubs, that's usually like a six iron.
471
00:21:43.280 --> 00:21:48.780
So if you had like the lie angle tool sticking out of the six iron and you put
472
00:21:48.780 --> 00:21:49.520
that in the
473
00:21:49.520 --> 00:21:52.120
ground at that same angle, right?
474
00:21:52.120 --> 00:21:59.140
So if I put this in the ground basically at the angle of the six iron or done
475
00:21:59.140 --> 00:22:00.120
the other
476
00:22:00.120 --> 00:22:05.240
way, if I can get the six iron flat to the ground, that would be about the 30
477
00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:06.040
degree launch
478
00:22:06.040 --> 00:22:07.040
angle.
479
00:22:07.040 --> 00:22:11.730
So if I were having them set up with their sandwich or lob wedge and just kind
480
00:22:11.730 --> 00:22:12.440
of having
481
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:16.440
this next to it, usually I would put a stick in the ground if I'm setting it up
482
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:17.120
in a clinic
483
00:22:17.120 --> 00:22:18.760
format.
484
00:22:18.760 --> 00:22:26.070
The other way would be if here's my ball position, then 30, 60, 90 triangle
485
00:22:26.070 --> 00:22:28.800
means that if I started
486
00:22:28.800 --> 00:22:38.200
here and I put this basically 1.75 ish, right?
487
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:40.400
This is rough science.
488
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:44.630
That would, if I had a gate of about this height, that would be a 30 degree
489
00:22:44.630 --> 00:22:47.080
angle, basically
490
00:22:47.080 --> 00:22:48.360
keep it under there.
491
00:22:48.360 --> 00:22:51.160
Now it's a little hard to get that perfect if you're using alignment six
492
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:51.800
because you
493
00:22:51.800 --> 00:22:55.250
have to account for how much you're going to push it in and then if you put a
494
00:22:55.250 --> 00:22:55.960
pool noodle
495
00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:58.360
on top or something like that, you have to account for that height.
496
00:22:58.360 --> 00:23:04.750
It gives a rough guide as far as a lot of golfers, they look at the 60 degree
497
00:23:04.750 --> 00:23:05.360
wedge
498
00:23:05.360 --> 00:23:09.090
and it's pointing way up and they're mental images that's going to launch that
499
00:23:09.090 --> 00:23:09.600
high.
500
00:23:09.600 --> 00:23:12.610
When you start getting that gate, some people just start trying to like get
501
00:23:12.610 --> 00:23:13.240
their hands
502
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:17.630
ahead and like launch it, like they make better body passes on the way through
503
00:23:17.630 --> 00:23:18.000
just
504
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:19.960
trying to get the trajectory down.
505
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:23.810
So sometimes I'll combo that, especially if I do that eight week class and we
506
00:23:23.810 --> 00:23:24.480
do distance
507
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:30.880
wedges twice, there's a little, yeah, there's a little motorcycle.
508
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:31.880
Absolutely.
509
00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:32.880
Yep.
510
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:43.080
Yeah, so your basic math, it's like 1.71 and then the hypotenuse would be two.
511
00:23:43.080 --> 00:23:51.680
So if I have a golf ball, again, this is, if you're like, if you're doing it
512
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:52.880
off grass,
513
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:56.320
I hate setting up stations and having to move it around a whole lot.
514
00:23:56.320 --> 00:24:01.650
So this one, the good news is I would probably, I create a gate so I would put
515
00:24:01.650 --> 00:24:02.640
like one stick
516
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:06.280
here, one stick here and have a pool noodle across and then you're just, you
517
00:24:06.280 --> 00:24:06.760
can keep
518
00:24:06.760 --> 00:24:08.480
it the same distance.
519
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:13.480
But basically, if I wanted to really quickly set up about what 30 degrees is.
520
00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:18.560
So there's one and then if I bring that, we'll say 0.71.
521
00:24:18.560 --> 00:24:25.700
So I'm going to say three quarters, then where that is right there, that would
522
00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:26.560
be a 30 degree
523
00:24:26.560 --> 00:24:29.040
angle between this point and there.
524
00:24:29.040 --> 00:24:35.040
And the way I could check it is if you held up a second alignment stick, that's
525
00:24:35.040 --> 00:24:35.800
exactly
526
00:24:35.800 --> 00:24:38.760
the same length of this.
527
00:24:38.760 --> 00:24:40.640
Let's see if my math was right.
528
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:43.800
That should basically get to the golf ball.
529
00:24:43.800 --> 00:24:44.800
There we go.
530
00:24:44.800 --> 00:24:46.280
So our math worked out.
531
00:24:46.280 --> 00:24:51.600
So this would be 2x and the bottom would be 1.75.
532
00:24:51.600 --> 00:24:56.920
The 6 iron loft is usually around 30 degrees.
533
00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.400
So then if I put that down, that's pretty much the same angle.
534
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:01.680
That looks pretty close.
535
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:02.680
Yeah.
536
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:05.760
So those are two different ways to get the visual.
537
00:25:05.760 --> 00:25:16.220
Yeah, so you can try it.
538
00:25:16.220 --> 00:25:22.710
I mean, you're not actually going to be able to see it take off, but you can
539
00:25:22.710 --> 00:25:23.640
kind of-- you
540
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:26.730
can get a sense-- yeah, it gives you a little-- and these things are not going
541
00:25:26.730 --> 00:25:27.060
to launch
542
00:25:27.060 --> 00:25:29.500
at 30 degrees.
543
00:25:29.500 --> 00:25:34.450
That's for your most lofted-- a general guideline is getting the ball to launch
544
00:25:34.450 --> 00:25:35.300
about half the
545
00:25:35.300 --> 00:25:36.780
loft.
546
00:25:36.780 --> 00:25:40.780
So like your 60 degree wedge, your 58 degree wedge, getting it to launch sub 30
547
00:25:40.780 --> 00:25:41.240
is a good
548
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:44.160
goal for these distance wedges.
549
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:51.020
Now that's where the premium-- these walls will not launch that low.
550
00:25:51.020 --> 00:25:53.020
They're too hard.
551
00:25:53.020 --> 00:25:57.560
They're going to launch like 35 at best.
552
00:25:57.560 --> 00:26:01.480
[INAUDIBLE]
553
00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:07.360
Yeah, little known-- little known fact.
554
00:26:07.360 --> 00:26:10.920
[INAUDIBLE]
555
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:15.080
56, 28, testing my math.
556
00:26:15.080 --> 00:26:18.860
Where did I take this one?
557
00:26:18.860 --> 00:26:20.100
This one?
558
00:26:20.100 --> 00:26:22.100
OK.
559
00:26:22.100 --> 00:26:24.380
OK, so let's try those.
560
00:26:24.380 --> 00:26:27.140
So we've got kind of triangle swings.
561
00:26:27.140 --> 00:26:28.900
You've got the single arm to work on that.
562
00:26:28.900 --> 00:26:35.920
You can try propping-- I think you could use like-- I don't have a whole lot of
563
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:36.340
-- I use
564
00:26:36.340 --> 00:26:42.220
yoga blocks a lot-- water bottle works.
565
00:26:42.220 --> 00:26:43.720
You can go up on the toe.
566
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:45.640
That one's just not quite as good.
567
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:53.480
The little rope thing as part of the range there is probably about the right
568
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:54.720
height.
569
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:58.440
And we did the trail arm backswing.
570
00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:00.960
And if you want to set up the trajectory, Kate, you can.
571
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:02.560
I'll have the list here.
572
00:27:02.560 --> 00:27:07.480
I set up the gate a lot of those just kind of figure it out.
573
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:08.480
It's great.
574
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:09.480
Yeah.
575
00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:10.480
Especially-- yeah.
576
00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:11.480
Like kids and stuff.
577
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:12.480
Right.
578
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:13.480
Yeah.
579
00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:15.480
You don't have yoga blocks.
580
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:16.480
Improvising.
581
00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:17.480
Champions adapt.
582
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:34.760
You guys are close enough.
583
00:27:34.760 --> 00:27:39.560
You could probably use that thing.
584
00:27:39.560 --> 00:27:41.640
Like just to get a feel.
585
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:42.640
Yeah.
586
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:43.640
So here, let me see.
587
00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:51.200
It's sturdy enough.
588
00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:53.120
It's to get up here.
589
00:27:53.120 --> 00:27:56.120
Let me try it real quick.
590
00:27:56.120 --> 00:27:59.240
So just basically-- yeah.
591
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:04.070
So it's just to kind of like pre get a little bit of this stacked upper body
592
00:28:04.070 --> 00:28:04.920
and to feel
593
00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:06.320
like it kind of stays there.
594
00:28:06.320 --> 00:28:10.320
So for me, it has more of this feel here where I feel like, all right, that gl
595
00:28:10.320 --> 00:28:10.760
ute is
596
00:28:10.760 --> 00:28:15.350
really working as I go into this extension where normally, like from all my
597
00:28:15.350 --> 00:28:16.320
tennis, I
598
00:28:16.320 --> 00:28:22.150
get a little kind of slidey and I can definitely fall into like a little low
599
00:28:22.150 --> 00:28:23.120
point issue on
600
00:28:23.120 --> 00:28:27.040
these.
601
00:28:27.040 --> 00:28:40.160
And remember, distance wedges can be anywhere from 40 yards to 100 yards or so.
602
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:49.960
So you could do more of the 40 yard version when you're doing these ones.
603
00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:51.440
Yep.
604
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:53.200
Yep.
605
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:58.840
Just a little bit of that, okay?
606
00:28:58.840 --> 00:29:03.440
Feel a little different contact?
607
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:04.440
Yeah.
608
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:10.840
That's like popping the ribs out.
609
00:29:10.840 --> 00:29:11.840
Yeah.
610
00:29:11.840 --> 00:29:12.840
Ribcage way.
611
00:29:12.840 --> 00:29:13.840
All right.
612
00:29:13.840 --> 00:29:14.840
Any questions down here?
613
00:29:14.840 --> 00:29:18.940
Do you have any drills for the constant or the smooth part?
614
00:29:18.940 --> 00:29:26.760
Well, so the main kind of catalyst for the smooth part is the motion of the rib
615
00:29:26.760 --> 00:29:27.760
cage compared
616
00:29:27.760 --> 00:29:29.800
to the arms.
617
00:29:29.800 --> 00:29:33.610
So the more that you're kind of like throwing with your arms, you'll have
618
00:29:33.610 --> 00:29:34.560
faster and kind
619
00:29:34.560 --> 00:29:38.960
of one speed, the more that you're able to hit it more with your body.
620
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:41.960
It'll be smoother and you can regulate speed better.
621
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:46.880
You can kind of like dial in your tempos better.
622
00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:52.600
The only little discussion I had was about kind of this ribcage movement.
623
00:29:52.600 --> 00:29:57.520
Some people will get really stuck, like I can have a tendency to be more on the
624
00:29:57.520 --> 00:29:58.000
right
625
00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:59.720
side because I played a lot of tennis.
626
00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:02.820
And if you're ever here, that feels like it's going to be a terrible shot,
627
00:30:02.820 --> 00:30:03.280
right?
628
00:30:03.280 --> 00:30:05.940
So you're always kind of on this side.
629
00:30:05.940 --> 00:30:09.600
So for some people, I'll explain that like if you had your spine, it's like I'm
630
00:30:09.600 --> 00:30:10.040
trying
631
00:30:10.040 --> 00:30:15.200
to get onto the left side of the spine instead of the right side of the spine.
632
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:20.320
And that has a relative feel of the lower body being almost a little bit more
633
00:30:20.320 --> 00:30:21.080
back compared
634
00:30:21.080 --> 00:30:22.720
to what I would used to.
635
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:27.840
If I'm used to being here, then it's getting not just upper body forward but
636
00:30:27.840 --> 00:30:28.600
lower body
637
00:30:28.600 --> 00:30:29.600
more back.
638
00:30:29.600 --> 00:30:34.890
So it's a common kind of explanation that I'll have to give, but all right, any
639
00:30:34.890 --> 00:30:35.720
questions
640
00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:41.000
about the distance wedges, otherwise we're going to head back and thaw out,
641
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:41.760
warm up and
642
00:30:41.760 --> 00:30:44.640
then reconvene for the short game stuff.
