Full Swing Training and Class Design Lecture

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.040
You want to do a real quick warm-up or do we want to do that right before we go

2
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:05.500
out?

3
00:00:05.500 --> 00:00:07.500
I'm going to start with the lecture.

4
00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:10.500
Okay.

5
00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:12.000
Safe.

6
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:13.000
Okay.

7
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:17.000
And while I'll try to make it quick, I want to make sure we can get out there.

8
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:22.680
My plan is that we're going to, we'll start it here, then we'll drive up to the

9
00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:23.000
range,

10
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:25.000
hopefully it's warmed up by then.

11
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.000
We'll do the full swing drills and the distance wedge drills,

12
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.000
since they'll both be kind of in that same area, and we'll break for lunch,

13
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.270
and we'll come back and we'll be putting in the nest wedge and bunker in the

14
00:00:36.270 --> 00:00:37.000
afternoon.

15
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.000
We got a lot to cover.

16
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:41.000
All right.

17
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:50.000
So as far as the full swing goes, I put this, whoops.

18
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:56.000
I put this one together more as far as like crafting the progressions,

19
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.000
which will help you design clinics or eight-week courses.

20
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:04.620
If you don't do group coaching, A, it's a great feeder system to your private

21
00:01:04.620 --> 00:01:05.000
coaching,

22
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:09.000
and B, they can be, you know, they can leverage your time better, right?

23
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:13.490
You can make a much better hourly rate for group coaching than you can for

24
00:01:13.490 --> 00:01:14.000
individual.

25
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:20.150
It's just potentially limited as far as a lot of the people who will come for

26
00:01:20.150 --> 00:01:21.000
the group coaching

27
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:26.000
aren't really the ones who are diehards and looking for the individual,

28
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.000
either they're just testing you out.

29
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.000
You kind of have to figure that out in the clinic.

30
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:37.000
So I usually talk about, and I mentioned it a couple of times,

31
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.000
I say there's three big goals for improving your golf swing.

32
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.000
You want to hit the ball more solid, hit the ball straighter,

33
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.000
or control the curve, and you want to hit the ball further,

34
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.000
or control the distance.

35
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.000
So solid straight far, I use a lot.

36
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.000
And now the one that when I'm doing the clinic,

37
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:00.000
I'll talk about that I'll add in is basically like adjusting your swing.

38
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.000
So you could say there's little adjustments for every club.

39
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.230
I usually say there's kind of like at least three stock kind of different

40
00:02:08.230 --> 00:02:09.000
swings.

41
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.000
You have your driver swing, your iron swing, and your wedge swing.

42
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:17.710
But you could have a hybrid swing, or fairway wood, or long iron versus mid-

43
00:02:17.710 --> 00:02:18.000
iron.

44
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.000
I think for some people it's going to vary.

45
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:27.000
And then I usually use the tempo or sequence as part of the far,

46
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:31.000
but we can talk a little bit about some of the other factors,

47
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:37.000
such as the rate of impulse, or the length of hand path as big impact,

48
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.000
or factors for hitting the ball further.

49
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:49.000
So with the three hour clinic, I usually cover mostly impact.

50
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:53.240
It's kind of self-discovery, like going over using some of those slides or

51
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:54.000
videos

52
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.000
as far as what we want the club to do down at the bottom,

53
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.000
talking a little bit about reading ball flight.

54
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.550
Students have gotten smarter though, they're better at knowing some of the

55
00:03:04.550 --> 00:03:05.000
answers

56
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:09.000
than they were eight, ten years ago when I kind of did more of these.

57
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:15.000
But talking a little bit about kind of the big buckets as far as it relates to

58
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.000
hitting the ball solid and hitting the ball straight.

59
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:21.000
And then I usually work through the drills as far as like,

60
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.000
well here's like impact where we're trying to get to.

61
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:30.000
And then, so ideally it would be, I'd do this clinic in a setting

62
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.520
where I have a place where I could do PowerPoint close to a place where we

63
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:35.000
could hit.

64
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:39.000
So like this to the public range would work perfectly where it'd be like,

65
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:43.000
all right, we're going to do a quick little, you know, PowerPoint here,

66
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.000
go over what impact looks like, we're going to cover these three drills,

67
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:47.000
and then we're going to go out and try it.

68
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.000
And that's when I get my hands on, my touches, stuff like that.

69
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:57.000
And then usually after I do impact, I usually circle back to follow through

70
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.000
and the single arm drills.

71
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.000
And then I circle back to the top of the backswing.

72
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:06.000
And usually in a three hour clinic, I still have time to, at the end, do like

73
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:06.000
adjusting,

74
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:11.000
like, because we did mostly irons or mostly kind of like, you know, ground

75
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:11.000
contact.

76
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.000
So then everyone asks, well, how do I apply this to the driver?

77
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:19.000
So I usually circle back to, well, let's do a little bit of adjustment for each

78
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:19.000
club.

79
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:23.000
But you could, that, that part's optional and customizable.

80
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.710
If you wanted to talk a little bit more about like teasing a short game class

81
00:04:27.710 --> 00:04:28.000
or,

82
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:32.000
um, club fitting or something like that, I could see that fitting in pretty

83
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:33.000
well there.

84
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:41.000
In the eight or 12 week class, um, I've done 60 or 90 minutes.

85
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:46.000
I kind of like 90 minutes where I cover two topics, one full swing and one

86
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:47.000
short game.

87
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:52.000
Um, but the 60 minute covering kind of one topic has worked pretty well too.

88
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:58.380
Uh, so this is typically how I've organized it. Um, and you'll see three A

89
00:04:58.380 --> 00:05:00.000
three B. Um,

90
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.260
the, the clientele that I currently, they love when we go on the course and

91
00:05:04.260 --> 00:05:05.000
those are really easy.

92
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:11.000
Um, those are a lot of fun for them. Um, I don't necessarily think that they

93
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:12.000
cover as much.

94
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:17.700
Uh, so I feel a little bad just kind of being the administrator and telling

95
00:05:17.700 --> 00:05:18.000
them when they're

96
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:22.000
what hole they're starting on, but, um, they like it.

97
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:26.000
And I'll usually tie in, um, some game related to the skill that we've been

98
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:27.000
working on.

99
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:31.490
So in this particular flow, you see we did a low point class and usually I

100
00:05:31.490 --> 00:05:33.000
organize it this way where

101
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:37.490
I like to cover the same topic in a group class like this, like two weeks in a

102
00:05:37.490 --> 00:05:38.000
row.

103
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:43.000
So the first class, like, essentially if we were doing it for this class,

104
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.690
we just covered all these hands on drills. I would have you go practice them

105
00:05:46.690 --> 00:05:48.000
and then we would do

106
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.980
follow up of hands on drills where we could ask questions and talk about

107
00:05:50.980 --> 00:05:52.000
troubleshooting.

108
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:57.600
Um, so we start with a low point issue and then the second class we talk about

109
00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:58.000
the most common,

110
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:02.540
like, or we talked about a low point goal and then the second class we talk

111
00:06:02.540 --> 00:06:04.000
about the common low point issues.

112
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:08.000
Like, why would you struggle with this? Um, and then we do an on course game

113
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:11.000
where we prioritize low point.

114
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:16.000
So, how would you do an on course game where you prioritize low point?

115
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.000
Any ideas?

116
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:24.000
[inaudible]

117
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:29.600
Yeah, simple as that. So basically, like, my normal one is, um, if you hit it

118
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:30.000
fat or thin,

119
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:35.000
you have to subtract half a stroke. Like, it's like a, a contact penalty.

120
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.250
And it just makes them a little bit more aware, but, um, I've done others like

121
00:06:39.250 --> 00:06:40.000
that too.

122
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:46.800
Uh, so then, then I go into more the face to path, um, and then, uh, going into

123
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:52.000
, like, power or tempo and backswing and length of swing.

124
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:59.130
Uh, these are some of the, um, the other, so the low point scoring is that it

125
00:06:59.130 --> 00:07:02.000
doesn't work, so low point scoring.

126
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:06.960
Um, and then, uh, the other one I'll do is you have to put a T down even with

127
00:07:06.960 --> 00:07:09.000
your golf ball and you're going to take your practice swing

128
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:13.380
and see where the club hit the ground and then you have to get similar ground

129
00:07:13.380 --> 00:07:15.000
contact with the golf ball there.

130
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.720
If it's off by more than, we'll say, an inch, then you get a one stroke penalty

131
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:19.000
.

132
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:24.000
So really just kind of making them almost like afraid to miss hit it, right?

133
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:28.000
Like, make them really focused on the contact aspect of that shot.

134
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:32.000
Um, but also do it for direction, like, straight ball curveball.

135
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:36.720
You'll, I'll have them play like a two ball scramble where they have to hit one

136
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:38.000
ball where they try not to curve it

137
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.720
and then the next ball, they have to deliberately curve it one way or the other

138
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:42.000
.

139
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.320
Um, and some of them are surprised by how much better they play when they try

140
00:07:45.320 --> 00:07:46.000
and curve it

141
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.000
because they've never thought about that.

142
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:52.000
Um, they love, uh, three club games.

143
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:56.360
We used to play that in college a lot, usually for, like, a box of Pro V's, um,

144
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:57.000
where it was.

145
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:01.000
And they quickly learn that bringing your putter is a wasted club.

146
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:06.000
So I usually lead into that with, like, putting with other, other clubs,

147
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:07.000
putting with the sandwich, putting with the hybrid.

148
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.000
Putting with the three wood.

149
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:12.000
Um, in position is a fun game.

150
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.000
Does anyone know that one?

151
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.000
Dr. Moe, I'm drawing a blank on his.

152
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.000
Pickens, yeah.

153
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:24.990
Um, uh, in position is basically you, you show them, like, because everybody's

154
00:08:24.990 --> 00:08:26.000
like, oh, if I was only, like,

155
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.000
if I only did this better, right?

156
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.000
So in position is basically you did the first step really well.

157
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.000
So you hit every fairway.

158
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:36.020
So you basically go out to, like, let's say you hit it 250, you're going to go

159
00:08:36.020 --> 00:08:40.000
out to 250, and you're going to place the ball in the middle of the fairway.

160
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:45.000
Um, and then you assume, however many missed greens.

161
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.000
So at a skill level, you might say, like, okay, we're, you hit every fairway,

162
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.000
but you're going to miss four greens.

163
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.650
So you get to pick which four greens you're going to miss, and I'll put them in

164
00:08:54.650 --> 00:08:57.000
an easy spot where you have a good chance of getting up and out.

165
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:03.330
So you're going to be middle the fairway on every hole and greenside on four of

166
00:09:03.330 --> 00:09:06.000
them, and let's see what you shoot.

167
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.440
Because you're just showing me that if you hit your driver perfectly and you

168
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:14.950
still can't break 80, then maybe we're not putting allocating our resources to

169
00:09:14.950 --> 00:09:16.000
the right stuff.

170
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:19.820
Like you're overly focused on your tee shot and you're not focused enough on

171
00:09:19.820 --> 00:09:22.000
your iron play or something like that.

172
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:28.530
Or, look, I put, you know, I had one kid, we put him in the spot and he hit 14

173
00:09:28.530 --> 00:09:31.000
greens and shot one over.

174
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:34.000
I was like, you think we should work on putting next week?

175
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:40.240
You had, you know, you didn't even touch the hole on any putt outside of three

176
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:41.000
feet.

177
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.830
So it can be really helpful for, for like breaking some of those barriers of

178
00:09:45.830 --> 00:09:48.000
where should I allocate time.

179
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.000
It's a little, yeah.

180
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:57.000
Yeah, that's like, it's like a par three course basically.

181
00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:02.000
Like you're assuming that they hit a really good drive 14 times.

182
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:09.220
So par threes and then, like, you take their normal distance, their real normal

183
00:10:09.220 --> 00:10:13.000
distance, and put them in the middle of the fairway.

184
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:19.000
Let's see how they score from there.

185
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:24.610
I think in Mark Brody's book, he broke it down that, you know, scoring comes

186
00:10:24.610 --> 00:10:31.000
down to about 40% iron play, 28% driver, and then about 15% iron wedges.

187
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:38.590
So this, this game just kind of like highlights how important your iron play is

188
00:10:38.590 --> 00:10:39.000
.

189
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:46.300
And then other class ideas, you can stuff I've done classes on uneven lies, how

190
00:10:46.300 --> 00:10:53.050
to practice more effectively, course management, fitness, if you have that as a

191
00:10:53.050 --> 00:10:58.000
, as an additional skill set, or you can bring in guest speakers that work well.

192
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.000
Distance wedge, little mental game, flop shot.

193
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.000
Fun stuff.

194
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:06.000
How would you make a close thing in your class?

195
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:10.650
That would be this basically, like, you'd be surprised, they have no idea like

196
00:11:10.650 --> 00:11:13.000
what, what goes into a club fitting.

197
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:17.420
So it would be more of like an educating and I would, I've only done that like

198
00:11:17.420 --> 00:11:22.370
twice, and it was usually like leading up to when we would have vendors out and

199
00:11:22.370 --> 00:11:26.490
be like, you know, I'll usually take like the orange whip and kind of show it

200
00:11:26.490 --> 00:11:28.000
bend and then kick.

201
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.110
Like basically in a club fitting you're, you know, or in the golf swing you're

202
00:11:31.110 --> 00:11:34.000
trying to get it bend and then the club fitting is fitting a shaft that will

203
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:37.050
kind of kick at the right time because I'll be like, well, what happened if it

204
00:11:37.050 --> 00:11:39.000
was kicking wrong or what happened.

205
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.000
Like, I know it's not 100% but it's a good visual for them.

206
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:49.980
And then, you know, because the other thing I'll talk about is like, there's a

207
00:11:49.980 --> 00:11:54.420
common, a common fear that I see that like people think that they have to train

208
00:11:54.420 --> 00:11:56.000
in order to go get club fit.

209
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:59.000
Like, I don't want to go get club fit until I'm perfectly ready.

210
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:02.000
I'm like, what do you think they do at a club fitting?

211
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:06.150
Like, it's not like they're going to like laser map the exact perfect club that

212
00:12:06.150 --> 00:12:09.000
you need and your swing is never going to change.

213
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:15.430
Like, you have to understand the things that you can adjust like direction with

214
00:12:15.430 --> 00:12:23.000
lie angle or shaft stiffness, contact with like length of club or model of club

215
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:23.000
.

216
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:26.000
Like, why would you want a performance club versus a blade?

217
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.000
Like, how would you make that decision?

218
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:32.000
So that one's usually more of a kind of like a talk.

219
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:36.350
And if you, if it's not your specialty, that would be another one that you

220
00:12:36.350 --> 00:12:38.000
could bring someone in.

221
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:47.000
But sometimes they like that stuff, you know, getting just educated.

222
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:51.650
Anyone here not other than the non-instructors, anyone here not do any group

223
00:12:51.650 --> 00:12:54.000
classes or any programs like this?

224
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.000
Does ever, never?

225
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:57.000
I don't do it.

226
00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:58.000
Never tried.

227
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:02.000
We've done like the head pro and I did some operating fixed up.

228
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:03.000
Okay.

229
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:06.000
I'm going to pass that on to the other piece of special.

230
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:07.000
Yeah.

231
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:09.000
But mostly just one on one.

232
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.000
It would be nice to add some of this.

233
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:12.000
Yeah.

234
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:18.540
And so if you're going to do more of a group style, then you have to have like

235
00:13:18.540 --> 00:13:21.000
a little bit more like broad drills that you're going to use.

236
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:25.690
So that's what this PowerPoint and what we'll do out on the range is kind of

237
00:13:25.690 --> 00:13:27.000
like the broad.

238
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:31.000
So like low point drills, I usually start with like one or two of those.

239
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.000
You already recognize pushball.

240
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:34.000
Right?

241
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:36.990
That's a good one for, I'll just emphasize kind of getting the club to kind of

242
00:13:36.990 --> 00:13:39.000
like brush along the ground as we're doing it.

243
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:45.800
I usually start to introduce nine to three tended to full because that's just

244
00:13:45.800 --> 00:13:50.670
kind of some of the language I use for do a half swing, three quarter swing or

245
00:13:50.670 --> 00:13:51.000
full swing.

246
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:56.670
And I'll usually explain like, okay, I know all you want to do is swing hard

247
00:13:56.670 --> 00:14:00.000
and swing full, but sometimes we have to control distance.

248
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:02.000
This is jumping ahead a little bit.

249
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:06.700
So your nine to three is not just working on the release. It's also going to be

250
00:14:06.700 --> 00:14:10.650
your punch shot when you can't make a full back swing because there's a tree in

251
00:14:10.650 --> 00:14:11.000
your way.

252
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:14.410
And normally you hit the tree and then you chunk it and it's like you do that

253
00:14:14.410 --> 00:14:16.000
twice and now you made triple.

254
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.000
Right? So this is going to be a very useful shot.

255
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.480
Your tended to is going to be like your flighted shot into the wind or we're

256
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:24.000
going to use that to build your distance wedge.

257
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:28.730
So I'll explain that these are not just like progressions of how we're training

258
00:14:28.730 --> 00:14:33.000
the full swing, but also useful shots that they can use on the course.

259
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:38.940
And basically be like, look, anybody can get into a groove with almost any

260
00:14:38.940 --> 00:14:40.000
technique.

261
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:45.560
So if you feel like you're hitting it really good with your full swing, then

262
00:14:45.560 --> 00:14:49.960
one of the ways to challenge it is to play around with length of swing or

263
00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:51.000
intensity.

264
00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:55.400
So then I'll challenge them like, oh, you know, you just hit five really good

265
00:14:55.400 --> 00:15:00.750
shots. Can you hit your tended to alternating, you know, alternating tended to

266
00:15:00.750 --> 00:15:02.000
and full swing.

267
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:05.580
So we're going to go to those two flags and you got to get them all within, you

268
00:15:05.580 --> 00:15:09.000
know, 30 feet or something like that. Can you do that?

269
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:15.730
And if the answer is no, then what I usually say is that the better your kind

270
00:15:15.730 --> 00:15:20.000
of like pivot maintenance and like sequence,

271
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:26.140
the more scalable the swing is. So the more that you like people who tend to

272
00:15:26.140 --> 00:15:31.430
have like a really big like lateral movement or really big kind of like radius

273
00:15:31.430 --> 00:15:34.000
change will have more timing built into their swing.

274
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:38.000
So they will have a harder time doing less than full or more than full shots.

275
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:42.000
They'll have kind of like a sweet spot that they can swing at.

276
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:46.920
So this skill is kind of like a test of like, are you making better improvement

277
00:15:46.920 --> 00:15:50.000
with your positioning and your sequencing.

278
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:58.520
But we'll jump through like, we'll go do all that stuff up there. Okay. Yeah.

279
00:15:58.520 --> 00:16:02.000
So this is the slideshow where it just has the theory.

280
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:06.830
So usually when I'm covering low point, I often start with the playing with low

281
00:16:06.830 --> 00:16:11.610
point, which is basically just drawing two lines and figuring out how you can

282
00:16:11.610 --> 00:16:16.690
move low point either with the location of your body or by using your arms

283
00:16:16.690 --> 00:16:18.000
differently.

284
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:23.590
So I usually say, if you want to move it forward, you either have to turn more

285
00:16:23.590 --> 00:16:29.000
or stay a little bit more flexed or be a little bit more over your front foot.

286
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:32.540
If you wanted to hit the ground back here, you're going to be more over your

287
00:16:32.540 --> 00:16:36.340
right foot, more closed off or turn less than a little more extended that would

288
00:16:36.340 --> 00:16:38.000
bottom out way back there.

289
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:42.730
Right. From the arm perspective, I'll relate it to the timing of your arms

290
00:16:42.730 --> 00:16:47.410
straightening. So if you straighten them early, it's going to bottom out back

291
00:16:47.410 --> 00:16:48.000
there.

292
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.490
If you straighten them later, it's going to bottom out forward. And I'll

293
00:16:51.490 --> 00:16:55.970
usually include that like the wrist could be part of the straightening or the

294
00:16:55.970 --> 00:17:00.000
arms could be part of the straight.

295
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:06.560
So I'll go through the merry-go-round. And then these are usually, you can see

296
00:17:06.560 --> 00:17:09.670
that for this first class, these are all pretty high level, so I might do a

297
00:17:09.670 --> 00:17:14.290
little bit of hands-on, but I'll save that probably for that follow-up class

298
00:17:14.290 --> 00:17:18.000
where we're doing more refinement.

299
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:24.410
So for some people, you will have to talk about heel-toe. I don't always cover

300
00:17:24.410 --> 00:17:34.000
it in class, but ground contact is a 3D dimension. It's not just fat, then.

301
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:39.590
So starting with the direction, I'll work back to, there's two main variables,

302
00:17:39.590 --> 00:17:44.510
called face, club path, and then together they create your face-to-path, which

303
00:17:44.510 --> 00:17:48.000
along with contact location creates your curve.

304
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:54.560
I'll relate it the low point location to kind of swing direction. Hey, if you

305
00:17:54.560 --> 00:17:58.140
're used to slicing the wall and then you start trying to swing more inside. If

306
00:17:58.140 --> 00:18:02.290
that's the first thing you do, you might hit ground, you might hit a little fat

307
00:18:02.290 --> 00:18:03.000
or a little thin

308
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:08.110
because the low point moved backward. Why did it move backward? Go through some

309
00:18:08.110 --> 00:18:09.000
of those.

310
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:10.000
A question.

311
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:11.000
Yes.

312
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:17.000
When you have a student generally, it's plus eight.

313
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:18.000
Yeah.

314
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.000
We see it every day.

315
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:21.000
Yes.

316
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:22.000
I'll come.

317
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:23.000
That's my question.

318
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:24.000
Generally.

319
00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:26.000
What's your guess?

320
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:30.000
Yeah, what would be, let's say, three big causes.

321
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.000
Under the extension.

322
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:33.000
Okay.

323
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:34.000
Yeah.

324
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:36.000
So early extension.

325
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:38.000
Casting.

326
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:40.000
He's coming from there.

327
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:42.000
Not too much.

328
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:43.000
Yeah.

329
00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:49.000
Without access tilt.

330
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:50.000
Okay.

331
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:54.000
So too much access tilt, upper body way too far behind the lower body.

332
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:55.000
Side bend.

333
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:56.000
Right.

334
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:57.000
Correct.

335
00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:02.000
And the third one I'm looking for is an arm thing.

336
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:07.000
I mean, yes, I would say that, like, not enough rotation.

337
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:11.000
Less inside, but more behind.

338
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:12.000
Right.

339
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:16.000
Like, if they can figure out how to, like, Jim Furek and never release it, that

340
00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:16.000
's fine.

341
00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:21.110
But if it's back here and then it starts to, like, if they get power from that,

342
00:19:21.110 --> 00:19:24.000
then that movement is going to cause a big end out move as well.

343
00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:27.000
Yeah.

344
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:33.000
So, like, normally focus first on, like, a little bit of the rib cage sway,

345
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:37.000
getting a little bit more on top and rotated from that position.

346
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.000
It's actually quite hard to be that far into out.

347
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:43.000
It's a lot easier from back there.

348
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:46.740
And then I would be kind of looking at the wipe and kind of making sure that

349
00:19:46.740 --> 00:19:49.000
the arm wasn't getting too far behind.

350
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:51.000
Good question.

351
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:52.000
Good answer.

352
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:54.000
Okay, good.

353
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:56.000
Thank you, Pierre.

354
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:04.120
When I have the -- like, after the face the path or the curve class, I'll

355
00:20:04.120 --> 00:20:05.000
usually give them a hierarchy.

356
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:10.000
So, like, okay, I know doing geometry on the course isn't a whole lot of fun.

357
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:13.000
So, all I want you to do is ask yourself, first, did it curve?

358
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:16.000
Like, you're going to read the feedback of every shot.

359
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:24.000
Your first question is, did it curve? If yes, how much? And then, okay, it

360
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:24.000
curved, you know, assuming contact location is okay.

361
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:27.000
I'll explain a little bit of gear effect and driver.

362
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:34.000
But if it curved a lot, then your face the path was dramatically different.

363
00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:38.800
So, that's the first thing I would try to get tighter is getting the club face

364
00:20:38.800 --> 00:20:41.000
a little bit closer to the path.

365
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.000
And then, okay, then the second step is, well, where did it start?

366
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:49.240
And then that'll help you figure out more where the club face was pointing at

367
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:50.000
impact.

368
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:53.000
Pretty simple.

369
00:20:53.000 --> 00:21:00.220
So, with the high level face the path drills, we'll do a couple drills working

370
00:21:00.220 --> 00:21:02.000
on club face control.

371
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:07.940
Some saw, like, Mark, it was you that we worked on getting the club face with

372
00:21:07.940 --> 00:21:09.000
the foot, right?

373
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:14.620
So, I use that a lot of, like, learning to work on hitting the ball with either

374
00:21:14.620 --> 00:21:16.000
the toe or the heel side,

375
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:19.000
like, starting to play around with club face control.

376
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:23.000
But then, a bunch of them are just, like, different visuals.

377
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:28.020
So, this is where I mentioned not everybody loves the field drills or the hands

378
00:21:28.020 --> 00:21:29.000
-on drills.

379
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:33.000
And so, some people respond really well to visuals and facials.

380
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:39.000
So, we have different options for visuals, and I'll usually do a couple of them

381
00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:40.000
and say,

382
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.000
like, I want you to try each of these and figure out which one you like.

383
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:48.650
So, whether it's straight lines with things like trident or, like, negative

384
00:21:48.650 --> 00:21:51.000
space with things like the four square

385
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:55.500
or 3D path where I'm basically, like, holding the pool noodle or put it on a

386
00:21:55.500 --> 00:21:56.000
tripod.

387
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:59.000
Those are all in your manual.

388
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:04.000
That'll be a little hard to do out here, but, and then, I usually test them

389
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:04.000
with,

390
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:08.000
before doing that deliberate curve game on the course.

391
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:14.000
We either do the nine-shot game, which I did a ton in high school,

392
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:19.000
or for your higher handicap, usually just three.

393
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:24.590
So, the three-shot is just, can you hit it, draw a straight fade, and then the

394
00:22:24.590 --> 00:22:26.000
nine-shot is including trajectory.

395
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:31.730
So, low draw, low straight, low fade, medium draw, medium straight, medium fade

396
00:22:31.730 --> 00:22:34.000
, high draw, high straight, high fade.

397
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.460
If you can do that, you can basically change the numbers on trackman any way

398
00:22:37.460 --> 00:22:38.000
you want,

399
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:47.000
as long as you can control low point in that first class.

400
00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:53.740
The driver versus iron, I usually simplify it to basically looking at axis tilt

401
00:22:53.740 --> 00:22:58.000
and a little bit of sequencing.

402
00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:05.120
Like, I'll usually demonstrate if I took a ball, the iron, if I was set up to a

403
00:23:05.120 --> 00:23:06.000
ball here,

404
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:09.380
the iron would be like if I was throwing a ball at a spot a couple feet out in

405
00:23:09.380 --> 00:23:10.000
front of it,

406
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:14.000
and the driver, the ball is still here, but the driver would be like if I was

407
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:14.000
skipping a stone

408
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:17.000
or throwing the ball more out towards the target.

409
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:21.030
So, there's a lot more similarities than there are differences, but to throw it

410
00:23:21.030 --> 00:23:22.000
at the ground,

411
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.110
I'm going to be a little bit more on top of it, and my arm is going to be a

412
00:23:26.110 --> 00:23:27.000
little bit earlier

413
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:29.000
compared to if I was throwing it that way.

414
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:34.000
My ribcage sway is kind of on a slightly different angle, and then I'm getting

415
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:36.000
more of the arm extension later

416
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:39.000
in order to extend it there compared to this golf ball here.

417
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:44.000
And a lot of people get kind of stuck in one or the other.

418
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:47.490
They're either good iron players or good drivers, and they have a hard time

419
00:23:47.490 --> 00:23:48.000
making the adjustment.

420
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:51.870
So, learning to go back and forth between the two is very helpful for actually

421
00:23:51.870 --> 00:23:53.000
playing golf.

422
00:23:53.000 --> 00:24:02.370
So then, going back and forth is either the four club or play a course on the

423
00:24:02.370 --> 00:24:03.000
range.

424
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:06.000
There's a good ways to add kind of some variety of the practice.

425
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:11.000
I usually like this class.

426
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:16.000
Tempo or power or sequencing.

427
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:25.370
So, I've done stuff using ropes and chains and orange whips and towels and

428
00:24:25.370 --> 00:24:26.000
things like that

429
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:28.000
if you have the space for it.

430
00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:33.000
Otherwise, I'll tend to use more of just kind of like...

431
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.000
I'll preface this class is going to be more of like playtime.

432
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:39.000
It's not like I want you to find one right answer.

433
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:42.000
I want you to figure out kind of what's the ranges that could work for you.

434
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:50.000
So, like 70, 80, 90 is basically trying to get them to swing at 70%, 80%, 90%.

435
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:55.000
Sometimes I'll do 65, 75, 85, 95.

436
00:24:55.000 --> 00:25:01.350
But basically helping them see most of the time the club head speed doesn't

437
00:25:01.350 --> 00:25:02.000
change

438
00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:04.000
when they go 70, 80, 90.

439
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:09.000
It's just this perception of effort and maybe a little bit of grip tension.

440
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:16.000
But helping them see that they're normally equating effort with speed.

441
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:19.000
And I want to break that connection.

442
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:22.000
So, the other one that I'll typically do is legs, arms, balance.

443
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.190
So, I'll do like a little kind of warm up thing of trying to feel like

444
00:25:26.190 --> 00:25:27.000
different parts of the body move.

445
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:30.600
And then I'll say, okay, I want you to use your legs as the primary power

446
00:25:30.600 --> 00:25:32.000
source for these five balls.

447
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:35.000
And then you're going to try to use your core as the primary power source.

448
00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:37.000
And then you're going to use their arms.

449
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:41.530
And you just want to kind of explore and see which one feels like your normal

450
00:25:41.530 --> 00:25:45.000
swing and which one feels more comfortable.

451
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.230
Sometimes I'll add in things like the whoosh progression or things like just

452
00:25:49.230 --> 00:25:54.940
kind of getting the club to whip through on the other side of the ball instead

453
00:25:54.940 --> 00:25:56.000
of at the ball.

454
00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:03.000
But that's usually kind of the high level as far as tempo and power.

455
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:10.000
Sometimes I'll use the four ball rhythm kind of like walking type thing.

456
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:16.240
One of the advantages to doing repetitive tasks is if I really use my arms it

457
00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:19.000
has more of a like fire and then I have to reset.

458
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:24.990
But if I use my body, it's rhythmic stabilization. I can kind of go back and

459
00:26:24.990 --> 00:26:26.000
forth a lot easier.

460
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:29.870
So, a good way to help people take out some of the arms and use more body is

461
00:26:29.870 --> 00:26:32.000
more of that sequential swinging.

462
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:38.950
I didn't put that in there but came to me while I was thinking about it last

463
00:26:38.950 --> 00:26:40.000
night.

464
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:44.650
So, when I get into the correcting low point, this is where I'll start to talk

465
00:26:44.650 --> 00:26:46.000
about some of the details.

466
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:50.010
This is I'm standing at the golf ball facing that way so we're trying to move

467
00:26:50.010 --> 00:26:52.000
low point either forward backward.

468
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:55.640
So, the big movements that would move the low point forward when we talk about

469
00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:57.000
playing with low point.

470
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:01.190
Usually, I try to get them to figure it out in the first class and then the

471
00:27:01.190 --> 00:27:04.000
second class I give them the answer if they didn't figure it out.

472
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:08.560
So, these are the main ways to move low point forward but it could be

473
00:27:08.560 --> 00:27:13.000
simplified to what we talked about where the body is more forward down and open

474
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:15.000
or the arms are later or more ahead.

475
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:20.000
And to move it backward, it's going to be more of the opposite.

476
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:26.000
Early extension, scooping, arms behind, too much unhinge.

477
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:35.000
Yes, the low point because it moves the center of the swing that way.

478
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:41.130
It allows more rotation which moves it forward and allows later arm extension

479
00:27:41.130 --> 00:27:42.000
which moves it forward.

480
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:52.000
But it by itself, if you didn't change anything, moves it backward.

481
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:58.000
So, the 3D thing that sparked the Jackson 5 is typically with the irons.

482
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:03.620
If you look at the axis tilt, they've got about 4 degrees, 5 degrees of axis

483
00:28:03.620 --> 00:28:05.000
tilt and with the driver it's about 20.

484
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:10.650
And a lot of people feel out of balance when they're at about 20. So, that's

485
00:28:10.650 --> 00:28:14.710
where a lot of amateurs just kind of like lunging at the upper body more on top

486
00:28:14.710 --> 00:28:15.000
.

487
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:21.120
So, I use the feeling of kind of like tilting the hips in order to try to get

488
00:28:21.120 --> 00:28:24.000
that 20 degrees of axis tilt.

489
00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:29.000
And the axis tilt moves the low point backward.

490
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:34.150
I use that mostly with like slicers and people who are really poor with the

491
00:28:34.150 --> 00:28:35.000
driver.

492
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:40.000
I wouldn't say that that's a like every week drill that I use.

493
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:45.000
But with who I was working with when I wrote the book and initially launched it

494
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:51.000
, it was more common because everybody wanted to hit the driver back.

495
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:54.000
My course is more target golf.

496
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:55.000
What?

497
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:57.000
Can I buy it on the e-book?

498
00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:00.000
Talk to Lawrence. He'll get you an e-book.

499
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:07.000
You've got gold status or something. We'll get you an e-book.

500
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:12.730
For those of you who come to every class that I've ever offered, you've been on

501
00:29:12.730 --> 00:29:14.000
the website how long?

502
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:16.000
Since day one?

503
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:18.000
Yeah, we'll get you an e-book.

504
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:25.000
Can I ask some questions?

505
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:31.000
I mean, the very first video, the Hello World video was like July of 2013.

506
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:36.000
And I wrote the, I think we published the book in 2018.

507
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:39.000
So, it's been a journey.

508
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:44.000
This is where I'll now start to talk more about the heel toe.

509
00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:48.550
That's a, I think, I don't know if everybody heard, but I told people I make

510
00:29:48.550 --> 00:29:53.370
golfers shank the ball all the time because the classic patterns of early

511
00:29:53.370 --> 00:29:57.000
extension, falling away, straightening the arms early are kind of scooping.

512
00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:00.000
Those move it mostly onto the toe.

513
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.110
And so, if you start getting down and covering and extending later and you do

514
00:30:04.110 --> 00:30:08.830
that all at once without changing your reference, you're going to move the

515
00:30:08.830 --> 00:30:11.000
contact more to the heel.

516
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:15.650
Now it usually gets balanced by getting the vertical timing a little bit better

517
00:30:15.650 --> 00:30:21.000
, but I'll explain like why you're hitting it on the heel.

518
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:26.620
So, again, toe contact is are things that basically pull you away from the golf

519
00:30:26.620 --> 00:30:30.000
ball and heel contact is things that move you towards the golf ball.

520
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:37.860
So, typically, the heel contact or the shank is from being too much down or too

521
00:30:37.860 --> 00:30:39.000
much in.

522
00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:41.660
So, a lot of golfers will set up kind of on their heels and then they'll find

523
00:30:41.660 --> 00:30:44.000
balance and they'll move slightly closer to the golf ball.

524
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:49.150
That can cause the heel contact or they'll kind of go down and then not come

525
00:30:49.150 --> 00:30:50.000
back up.

526
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:56.790
Now the club is essentially, you know, it's a fixed length so now it's longer

527
00:30:56.790 --> 00:31:01.000
in this plane because I'm closer to the golf ball.

528
00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:05.000
Especially if I'm not feeling the club head.

529
00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:11.850
Now, I often preface this like all or I'll often include in the discussion like

530
00:31:11.850 --> 00:31:17.330
this isn't like a 100% cause because you can feel where this club is and I can

531
00:31:17.330 --> 00:31:20.560
move down and I can kind of like make some adjustments and I can still hit it

532
00:31:20.560 --> 00:31:21.000
on the toe.

533
00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:24.770
So, I explain these are the technical things that cause heel toe contact, but

534
00:31:24.770 --> 00:31:28.310
we also want to work on the skill training of being able to move your contact

535
00:31:28.310 --> 00:31:29.000
around.

536
00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:33.550
So, I don't care if you shank it once, but if you shank it like 30 times in a

537
00:31:33.550 --> 00:31:42.720
row, you know, you got to make a change and these are the ones that will help

538
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:48.000
move it off of the heel or off of the toe.

539
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:53.060
Low point training, this is now, this is probably my favorite class cause we do

540
00:31:53.060 --> 00:31:58.000
all the single arm drills and we do kind of combining the arms with the body.

541
00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:02.140
It's kind of like a nine to three focus class, but similar to what I said

542
00:32:02.140 --> 00:32:07.000
yesterday, I'll always say if you did a drill and you really loved that feeling

543
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:10.000
, the whole purpose of that feeling is to apply it to your full swing.

544
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:14.240
So, if you want to like press time out on the drill and go hit five balls full

545
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:17.000
swing to see if it really clicked, go do it.

546
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:21.250
And if I come walking over, I'll know if you're taking full swings that's what

547
00:32:21.250 --> 00:32:25.510
you're doing, but don't stay there, come back to the drill to see if you can

548
00:32:25.510 --> 00:32:27.000
refine it a little bit.

549
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:34.070
So, usually in this class, sometimes if it's a group of people I've worked with

550
00:32:34.070 --> 00:32:38.000
a bunch, I'll be able to add transition.

551
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:44.230
I frequently say that the secret sauce of like contact is looking at delivery

552
00:32:44.230 --> 00:32:47.000
position through the release.

553
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:54.640
I'll show you in my video analysis, like pre-packaged PowerPoint, where I have

554
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:58.670
a whole bunch of pictures of golfers kind of in this position to getting to

555
00:32:58.670 --> 00:33:03.000
there and most amateurs are kind of more back there to getting to here, right?

556
00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:07.000
One's going to move low point forward, one's going to move low point backward.

557
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:12.160
So, the way I usually explain it is we have to get more comfortable here, but

558
00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:16.780
there's two sides of the equation, kind of hit a ball from here, and how do I

559
00:33:16.780 --> 00:33:18.000
get to there?

560
00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:22.850
So, I'll use that as the reference, but you've got to kind of fill in the gaps

561
00:33:22.850 --> 00:33:24.000
on both sides.

562
00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:30.330
In rehab, there's a phrase that I heard Paul Czech use called surrounding the

563
00:33:30.330 --> 00:33:34.420
dragon, where there's a little bit of a bleed over or carry over from muscle

564
00:33:34.420 --> 00:33:35.000
strength,

565
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:39.000
and I kind of think there might be something with the motor learning side.

566
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:46.440
The classic example is like often athletes, patients will have like a painful

567
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:49.610
area, like if you're like, "Hey, raise your arm," like right around there, it

568
00:33:49.610 --> 00:33:50.000
kind of hurts.

569
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:55.680
Well, if you were to strengthen here, and then strengthen here, it takes away

570
00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:58.000
some of the pain in this zone.

571
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:01.720
So, they call it surround the dragon, because it's kind of like there's this

572
00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:05.260
zone you want to avoid if you do this zone and this zone, there's some bleed

573
00:34:05.260 --> 00:34:06.000
over.

574
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:11.040
So, oftentimes, if they're having trouble with a movement, I'll train the start

575
00:34:11.040 --> 00:34:13.900
of the movement, and I'll train the end of the movement and kind of let the

576
00:34:13.900 --> 00:34:18.000
brain fill in the gaps of, "How am I going to do that?" and then get to there.

577
00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:22.510
So, that's where if I want to fix delivery position, I'm working on follow

578
00:34:22.510 --> 00:34:25.000
through and release, and then I'm working on transition.

579
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:30.000
I'm not necessarily just working on delivery position.

580
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:39.550
And then, hitting the ball straight is more about the diagonal patterns, or not

581
00:34:39.550 --> 00:34:44.000
just low point contacts, but the direction that the club is traveling and the

582
00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:45.000
club face orientation.

583
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:50.610
So, these are typically, period, you're talking about things that move the path

584
00:34:50.610 --> 00:34:52.000
way to the right.

585
00:34:52.000 --> 00:35:00.200
So, side tilt, the too much early extension, the arms kind of lifting, those

586
00:35:00.200 --> 00:35:04.000
can all move the path to the right.

587
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:10.410
Now, technically, shaft lean delays the widest point, and as it's approaching

588
00:35:10.410 --> 00:35:14.000
the widest point, the club is moving further to the right.

589
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:18.410
But, most of the things that create shaft lean also try to move it more to the

590
00:35:18.410 --> 00:35:19.000
left.

591
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:22.960
But, by definition, if you didn't change anything, shaft lean would move it

592
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:24.000
more to the right.

593
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:31.000
[inaudible]

594
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:36.090
So, physically, I'll do a little drill called delivery and go, and I'll say, "

595
00:35:36.090 --> 00:35:42.110
Okay, you're going to basically turn the steering wheel of a big school bus to

596
00:35:42.110 --> 00:35:43.000
get that right arm a little bit in,

597
00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:46.100
and that left arm is a little bit up, and then you're going to get it to about

598
00:35:46.100 --> 00:35:49.000
belly button height, and you're going to flatten your wrist."

599
00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:52.000
So, we're basically getting to the right about here.

600
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:56.490
And then, I'll say, "Okay, now hold that position and turn your body so that

601
00:35:56.490 --> 00:36:00.000
you feel some tension in kind of that left side."

602
00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:07.070
And then, from there, we're just going to release that tension and extend the

603
00:36:07.070 --> 00:36:08.000
arms.

604
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:13.000
Okay, so that's direction.

605
00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:22.820
Some of the favorite path or drills that kind of fix rightward path, leftward

606
00:36:22.820 --> 00:36:24.000
path.

607
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:28.420
So, the way I explained it more there is the top drills are the ones that help

608
00:36:28.420 --> 00:36:33.000
move the path to the right, not fix an overly rightward path.

609
00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:38.620
So, if I need to move the path to the right, it's typically going to be a

610
00:36:38.620 --> 00:36:43.000
little bit more of a side bend, especially in the shoulders.

611
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:46.680
That's the big, big one that moves the path to the right, because a lot of the

612
00:36:46.680 --> 00:36:50.190
other things that we're trying to do create more speed and a lot of the speed

613
00:36:50.190 --> 00:36:52.000
things move the path left.

614
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:58.850
So, head on a pillow, the arms extending later, a little bit more unhinged, all

615
00:36:58.850 --> 00:37:04.000
those things get that arm extension later in the pattern.

616
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:10.000
To move it left, it's more of the body movement of getting a little bit more

617
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:16.000
stacked, getting a little bit more core rotation as the big two.

618
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:21.620
Then I'll often introduce a steep early shallow late, that's kind of one of the

619
00:37:21.620 --> 00:37:27.560
annoying patterns of the two-way miss, where essentially from the top of the

620
00:37:27.560 --> 00:37:32.000
swing, the shaft is in more of a vertical movement compared to the arms.

621
00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:37.640
And then when you go to start trying to shallow it out late, the clubface is

622
00:37:37.640 --> 00:37:44.820
resisting rotation and laying back, and it turns over very quickly. There's a

623
00:37:44.820 --> 00:37:51.000
lot of timing in that pattern.

624
00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:57.680
So, when I got, it's funny, when I played college and after I was a very good

625
00:37:57.680 --> 00:38:01.440
driver of the golf ball, and then I think I mentioned yesterday, like with

626
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:04.000
injuries, kind of took about 10 years off last year.

627
00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:08.710
I started kind of getting back into playing, and I started off fine, and then

628
00:38:08.710 --> 00:38:13.380
somewhere around the fall, like I fell into a little bit steep early shallow

629
00:38:13.380 --> 00:38:16.000
late, and I was having just this massive two-way miss.

630
00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:20.410
I wasn't doing it, I wasn't playing a ton, but when I did, it was like, I'm

631
00:38:20.410 --> 00:38:24.570
just going to hit three iron off the tee. I can't keep the driver in play right

632
00:38:24.570 --> 00:38:26.000
now, that's embarrassing.

633
00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:34.830
Do you know what causes golfers to get off track like that, but the forebikes

634
00:38:34.830 --> 00:38:36.000
issue?

635
00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:43.520
I mean, Logan was talking about how just little things like your focus, your

636
00:38:43.520 --> 00:38:50.290
energy level, the temperature, he was saying one on the whiz that you would see

637
00:38:50.290 --> 00:38:52.000
difference in arm positions.

638
00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:58.300
I do think you're more likely to get off track if you have two extreme motions

639
00:38:58.300 --> 00:39:04.820
that balance each other compared to more like vanilla or balanced body and arm

640
00:39:04.820 --> 00:39:06.000
motions.

641
00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:19.000
Right, and so that's the problem if the, is there a club?

642
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:22.330
I don't think this is a perfect analogy, but I demonstrate this a lot for

643
00:39:22.330 --> 00:39:27.820
students, so if I had this straight up and down, straight up and down like this

644
00:39:27.820 --> 00:39:31.000
, and I just let it kind of drop, it's going to hit the ground pretty hard.

645
00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:36.660
Try not to hurt your club, Andrew. If I had it on a flatter path like this, and

646
00:39:36.660 --> 00:39:41.000
I just kind of let it drop down that angle, it would come into it.

647
00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:47.350
I'll try not to break the mirror too. Hot zone, don't stay in there. So if I

648
00:39:47.350 --> 00:39:52.580
have it more on this path, I can kind of like guide it out, I don't have to

649
00:39:52.580 --> 00:39:56.710
pull away, where if it's more vertical like this, you'll see like in order to

650
00:39:56.710 --> 00:40:00.000
avoid it hitting the ground, I have to pull at the right moment.

651
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:03.960
If the analogy of like a short approach, landing a plane, like if the plane was

652
00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:08.310
coming down and I pulled up like this, I can do that much easier with a light

653
00:40:08.310 --> 00:40:13.490
plane that has less inertia than like an international, you know, 777 or

654
00:40:13.490 --> 00:40:14.000
whatever.

655
00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:18.990
Right, and so that's where, A, there's more timing, and then B, the timing is a

656
00:40:18.990 --> 00:40:23.000
whole lot easier on a shorter club than it is on a longer club.

657
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:27.250
That's the other reason why a lot of golfers will say like, man, I just want to

658
00:40:27.250 --> 00:40:32.000
hit my driver the way I hit my pitching wedge. I'm like, no, you don't.

659
00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:39.410
You are, you're trying to. So I think there are swings that are more timing

660
00:40:39.410 --> 00:40:43.000
sensitive, but every swing gets off.

661
00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:48.940
You see how often a good y'all for like, you know, wins and then misses the cut

662
00:40:48.940 --> 00:40:54.000
or shoots 62 one day and then 72 the next day or vice versa.

663
00:40:54.000 --> 00:41:00.020
It's, there's just a lot of timing and precision built into the sport that

664
00:41:00.020 --> 00:41:03.000
makes it really hard to perfect.

665
00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:09.420
And maybe it'll come up in the motor learning class and stuff, but I had a

666
00:41:09.420 --> 00:41:12.000
conversation with a psychologist and he was talking about how the brain,

667
00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:18.000
job is adaptation, not repetition.

668
00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:24.140
So if you only had one way of doing things, it was a survival limitation, like

669
00:41:24.140 --> 00:41:26.000
you were more predictable, so you're easier to hunt.

670
00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:31.000
Or like, that's part of the reason why muscles have more than one innovation.

671
00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:35.800
So that if you damaged one level of your spine, you could still use most of the

672
00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:38.000
muscles associated with that.

673
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:43.940
And so your, your brain, the way I imagine it is kind of like, like let's say

674
00:41:43.940 --> 00:41:48.000
this hole in the wall here is like my perfect swing, right?

675
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:52.250
So it did, it did the perfect swing. I want that every single time. And the

676
00:41:52.250 --> 00:41:55.000
next swing is like, well, what if I change this over here?

677
00:41:55.000 --> 00:42:00.000
Or what if I change this here? And the problem is you want this to get bigger

678
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:04.000
so that there's like a larger area of perfect swings.

679
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:06.470
But what happens is you change this, you change this, you change, and before

680
00:42:06.470 --> 00:42:10.690
you know it, you're at a place where instead of like just a little thin, now it

681
00:42:10.690 --> 00:42:17.620
's 40 yards right, because we, we're swinging a three or four foot object, right

682
00:42:17.620 --> 00:42:18.000
?

683
00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:23.590
So you're describing pulling out the whole path because it's a lot of knowledge

684
00:42:23.590 --> 00:42:25.000
and it's an error.

685
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:30.620
Yeah, yeah. And, and it could, or it could be a lack of sensitivity to what the

686
00:42:30.620 --> 00:42:35.000
actual, like your, your key was, or your movement was.

687
00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:39.410
Like the first time I always used posture because I've had these injuries,

688
00:42:39.410 --> 00:42:40.000
right?

689
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:44.070
Like the first time you work on posture, it's kind of like, like you have to

690
00:42:44.070 --> 00:42:46.000
like really focus to do everything.

691
00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:49.990
And now like it can be like a really small adjustment because I can feel when I

692
00:42:49.990 --> 00:42:53.000
'm getting off, I can feel when I'm, I've gone to there.

693
00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:57.070
I might, I might feel it go all the way to there, where before I got all the

694
00:42:57.070 --> 00:42:59.000
way to here, before I felt that it was wrong.

695
00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:02.000
That's what I mean by kind of like expanding your awareness of it.

696
00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:07.000
Have you ever had a bad pattern with it?

697
00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:12.000
I have to follow the ground for one and a half mile on the bike swing.

698
00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:15.000
Yeah, like low and slow, like keep the club.

699
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:19.000
In his head, he thinks that swing is supposed to be like that.

700
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:23.000
Absolutely. Like you have to, you have to educate your students some. Yeah.

701
00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:25.000
Yeah, I mean so.

702
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:28.000
When it's slow, that's quickly.

703
00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:32.360
And I would say, well, if I really want to keep the club on the ground, then I

704
00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:34.000
'm going to go like this.

705
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:38.000
Is that, is that what I want my swing to look like? Okay? No.

706
00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:42.230
So let's, like, let's talk a little bit about what actually creates the look of

707
00:43:42.230 --> 00:43:47.000
low and slow, which ideally, ideally, like low and slow.

708
00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:53.000
So most backswing thoughts are about using your body more and your arms less.

709
00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:57.490
Right? Like if you just boiled it down, like the bad takeaways are using your

710
00:43:57.490 --> 00:44:02.000
arms, the one piece take away, keeping the club low, like swinging it.

711
00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:06.650
Like all those things are about using your body to move the club so that we can

712
00:44:06.650 --> 00:44:09.000
load that sling that we talked about in the pivot.

713
00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:20.000
Maybe as a poor concept that's probably leading to a poor load.

714
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:24.360
Face to path drills, either the motorcycle or working on the clubface

715
00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:26.000
continuing to rotate.

716
00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:30.950
There's a lot of golfers who kind of, ideally, the axial velocity graph looks

717
00:44:30.950 --> 00:44:34.000
like a gradual closing of the clubface.

718
00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:38.240
I think there's some patterns where you can hold off a little bit, but in

719
00:44:38.240 --> 00:44:42.000
general, I think students either have a hard time starting it closing early.

720
00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:47.120
That's the motorcycle or, like, continuing to close it late, which is more of

721
00:44:47.120 --> 00:44:51.000
supination than, like, the gradual motorcycle move.

722
00:44:51.000 --> 00:45:00.460
On graphs, on the axial velocity graph, the graph of the twisting of the club,

723
00:45:00.460 --> 00:45:04.000
there's kind of a pattern.

724
00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:09.640
A lot of golfers who complain about consistency, basically, I'll do it facing

725
00:45:09.640 --> 00:45:12.000
this way, so I hit someone instead of the mirror.

726
00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:16.000
So it'll look kind of like this, no turn, no turn, no turn, and then it tries

727
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:17.000
to twist fast.

728
00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:22.620
The more consistent golfers that'll look like this where it's kind of gradually

729
00:45:22.620 --> 00:45:24.000
starting earlier.

730
00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:28.370
It's basically like you're controlling the club when it's moving slow instead

731
00:45:28.370 --> 00:45:30.000
of when it's moving fast.

732
00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:33.870
So they're going to potentially, and I think that there's some physical

733
00:45:33.870 --> 00:45:40.000
governors in place when you do that that give you better clubface control.

734
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:46.410
So as you're rotating, the clubface is open relative to the target and squares

735
00:45:46.410 --> 00:45:52.000
up and then closes without any axial rotation.

736
00:45:52.000 --> 00:46:01.000
Well, no. I mean, not if you wanted shaft lean.

737
00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:06.190
So, like, let's, so if I start with the club here, the handle is going to be

738
00:46:06.190 --> 00:46:09.000
closer to the target when I hit it, right?

739
00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:13.680
So that either means that I've taken the whole circle and I've tilted it this

740
00:46:13.680 --> 00:46:14.000
way.

741
00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:19.310
Or I'm hitting it, like, earlier on the art. He doesn't have a whiteboard that

742
00:46:19.310 --> 00:46:20.000
I could draw on.

743
00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:26.000
But, like, here's the widest part of the art. We'll use my form as the example.

744
00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:30.290
Like, like, if I have this, you'll be able to see, like, where it is. So this

745
00:46:30.290 --> 00:46:32.000
is the widest part of the art, right?

746
00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:37.760
So as I move this way, I'm moving, like, further back up the art compared to

747
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:40.000
the widest point, right?

748
00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:45.590
Well, as it moves back, it's also opening, right? Because of the shape of the

749
00:46:45.590 --> 00:46:46.000
club.

750
00:46:46.000 --> 00:46:49.000
Like, the club is going to be rotating as it moves through space.

751
00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:54.590
So if I hit it earlier, it's more open than it would have been if I hit it

752
00:46:54.590 --> 00:46:55.000
later.

753
00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:59.410
So if it's more open than it would have been, I have to adjust that by having a

754
00:46:59.410 --> 00:47:02.000
little bit of extra clubface rotation.

755
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:07.620
And so that's why the averages you'll see about 20 to 30 degrees of clubface

756
00:47:07.620 --> 00:47:11.000
rotation to account for the lag or the shaft lean.

757
00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:16.000
And by having it in that position, I have a governor on how much it can rotate

758
00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:18.000
compared to if I'm here and I rotate.

759
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:27.000
My rotation is less restricted. You're welcome.

760
00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:32.000
I don't want to touch the mirror again.

761
00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:37.000
Okay. Maybe if I need.

762
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:43.880
So troubleshooting low point, this is where we get into either, like, the 3D

763
00:47:43.880 --> 00:47:48.000
flat spot, like, high to low or basically the arm.

764
00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:52.130
The handle continuing to go down because I haven't had enough side bend and

765
00:47:52.130 --> 00:47:53.000
extension.

766
00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:58.000
The impact line is basically looking at the alignments at impact.

767
00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:02.650
So if you're too far back or your arms are too far back, you're going to have

768
00:48:02.650 --> 00:48:04.000
low point issues.

769
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:09.000
Early extension slide, hang back, arms behind the body.

770
00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:14.000
Those are all major low point killers.

771
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:15.000
Yes?

772
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:33.000
Yes.

773
00:48:33.000 --> 00:48:38.000
Yes, I would say, but I'd say it's fairly broad.

774
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:46.000
If I had perfect camera angle and everything looking pretty good, I would say,

775
00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:46.000
in line with the hands, I don't like to see it too far out.

776
00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:49.340
I think even kind of good faders, the golf ball, it's more like in line. I don

777
00:48:49.340 --> 00:48:51.000
't like to see it out.

778
00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:55.930
But you can have it, you know, whether it's, you know, depending on the depth

779
00:48:55.930 --> 00:49:01.590
of the camera, it's hard to measure that as far as, like, are we talking how

780
00:49:01.590 --> 00:49:06.000
many inches inside it is or degrees, but slightly inside the hands.

781
00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:10.550
Like, I think if you start getting more, like, in line with your hip and your

782
00:49:10.550 --> 00:49:15.370
butt, you're probably going to be more in that eight degree, ten degree

783
00:49:15.370 --> 00:49:16.000
category.

784
00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:20.700
I think it's hard, I think it's hard to have a lot of success if your face to

785
00:49:20.700 --> 00:49:23.000
path is much greater than two.

786
00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:28.290
And so, if you have a big path into out and the face matches it, then the ball

787
00:49:28.290 --> 00:49:31.000
's not going to go near your target.

788
00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:34.380
So, if you have a big path, then your face will be more in, like, the three to

789
00:49:34.380 --> 00:49:38.000
four range, and that's when you start getting bigger misses.

790
00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:41.000
I don't know if that totally answers your question.

791
00:49:41.000 --> 00:49:50.370
I tend to use closer, closer, like, in between vertical and spine angle, but as

792
00:49:50.370 --> 00:49:56.100
long as it matches kind of the release style, I'm okay with it, even if it's

793
00:49:56.100 --> 00:49:59.000
vertical, or if it's a little bit more.

794
00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:03.000
[inaudible]

795
00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:07.000
Yeah, he was asking about basically club head compared to the hands.

796
00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:10.000
[inaudible]

797
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:15.000
Like, like, is the club there? Is it there? Is it there?

798
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:18.000
[inaudible]

799
00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:23.000
He was asking, like, do I have a preference of that orientation there?

800
00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:24.000
[inaudible]

801
00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:31.000
[inaudible]

802
00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:32.000
Like, visually?

803
00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:33.000
[inaudible]

804
00:50:33.000 --> 00:50:38.190
Because it, like, it drops under the hands in transition, and then it's kind of

805
00:50:38.190 --> 00:50:42.000
coming back up towards it during more of the downswing.

806
00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:49.000
But, like, visually it's going to drop more below the hands.

807
00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:53.000
I'm not quite sure I understand the question.

808
00:50:53.000 --> 00:50:56.000
[inaudible]

809
00:50:56.000 --> 00:50:59.000
Sure. Don't hit the mirror.

810
00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:04.000
[inaudible]

811
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:10.000
But, like, talking about, like, height or relative to the swing plane.

812
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:13.000
[inaudible]

813
00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:17.780
So, I would say relative to the swing plane, it doesn't down through the

814
00:51:17.780 --> 00:51:19.000
hitting zone.

815
00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:23.000
But, if you're talking about height, then it would be basically P6.

816
00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:26.000
Because that's how we define P6, is when the club is parallel to the ground.

817
00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:29.000
[inaudible]

818
00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:34.000
Well, it, so it has a little bit of a, if we're just looking at it in, like,

819
00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:37.000
imagine this is kind of, like, swing plane.

820
00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:42.590
So, in transition it gets a little bit down there, and then it's kind of coming

821
00:51:42.590 --> 00:51:44.000
this way through impact.

822
00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:49.790
Or, through the majority of downswing. That's part of the whole, like, passive

823
00:51:49.790 --> 00:51:52.000
torque that Sasha talks about.

824
00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:55.900
Is when it drops underneath, then as I go to close it, and this is part of the

825
00:51:55.900 --> 00:51:58.000
steep early shallow late, so I'm fine covering it.

826
00:51:58.000 --> 00:52:04.000
So, as it drops under here, as I pull in, it actually helps the club rotate.

827
00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:08.650
Where, if it's out here, as I pull in, it would actually make the club want to

828
00:52:08.650 --> 00:52:10.000
lay back this way.

829
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:13.000
[inaudible]

830
00:52:13.000 --> 00:52:15.000
Thank you.

831
00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:18.000
Yeah.

832
00:52:18.000 --> 00:52:25.000
[inaudible]

833
00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:29.980
So, if we're struggling with too much right, too much left, these are some of

834
00:52:29.980 --> 00:52:32.000
the things, let's get with it.

835
00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:43.660
So, the club actually goes underneath the hand, and negative beta, and then, up

836
00:52:43.660 --> 00:52:48.000
a little bit.

837
00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:51.000
Now, the fun question is, well, what causes that to happen?

838
00:52:51.000 --> 00:52:53.000
The club has a grip.

839
00:52:53.000 --> 00:52:54.000
Okay.

840
00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:56.000
How do we torque the grip?

841
00:52:56.000 --> 00:52:58.000
[inaudible]

842
00:52:58.000 --> 00:52:59.000
Okay.

843
00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:01.000
How do we turn the curve the hand path left?

844
00:53:01.000 --> 00:53:02.000
There we go.

845
00:53:02.000 --> 00:53:04.000
So, the big thing that allows most of that to happen --

846
00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:05.000
[inaudible]

847
00:53:05.000 --> 00:53:06.000
Yeah.

848
00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:11.080
The big thing that allows that to happen is the rib cage sway while the pelvis

849
00:53:11.080 --> 00:53:14.000
is rotating, and the shoulder is going this way.

850
00:53:14.000 --> 00:53:18.650
Like, the shoulder -- like, that movement is what gets all those things to line

851
00:53:18.650 --> 00:53:19.000
up.

852
00:53:19.000 --> 00:53:25.000
And so, typically, if you see, like, the thing that gets the center mass on top

853
00:53:25.000 --> 00:53:30.000
as part of the steep early is typically this or more this.

854
00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:37.770
So, if I have a club just at an angle like this, anything that pushes down on

855
00:53:37.770 --> 00:53:40.000
the top side is going to steepen.

856
00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:43.000
Anything that pulls from the bottom side is going to shallow.

857
00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:47.770
So, when I do that rib cage sway, that's going to pull on the bottom of the

858
00:53:47.770 --> 00:53:49.000
club this way.

859
00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:55.140
If I was to pull down with the top of the -- with the arms, or by spinning the

860
00:53:55.140 --> 00:53:58.000
shoulders, then that's going to steepen it.

861
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:01.000
And that's when you get into that steep early shallow-late pattern.

862
00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:03.000
So, where are the transition shallower?

863
00:54:03.000 --> 00:54:05.000
Because they're just one or the more than one.

864
00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:09.310
Well, the -- so, the shoulder blades going this way, a little bit of external

865
00:54:09.310 --> 00:54:13.000
rotation, a little bit of lead arm rotation, or lead forearm rotation.

866
00:54:13.000 --> 00:54:20.000
The delay of the thorax rotating?

867
00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:22.000
Those are the big ones.

868
00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:24.000
Is this like this or the shallower?

869
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:25.000
No.

870
00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:26.000
Lowering is a steepener.

871
00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:27.000
Lowering is a steepener.

872
00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:28.000
Lowering is a steepener?

873
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:29.000
Yeah.

874
00:54:29.000 --> 00:54:31.000
And going off on that way.

875
00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:32.000
What?

876
00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:33.000
Saying that --

877
00:54:33.000 --> 00:54:35.000
Lowering is a steepener?

878
00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:37.000
Just lower it.

879
00:54:37.000 --> 00:54:40.000
So, lowering like --

880
00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:43.600
You've been in delay when they say -- when they -- when they're like, "Hey, you

881
00:54:43.600 --> 00:54:45.000
pulled down to shallow."

882
00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:49.130
What's really shallowing is the fact that when they did this, their body stayed

883
00:54:49.130 --> 00:54:50.000
more closed.

884
00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:56.000
It's not that the arms pulling down caused it to shallow.

885
00:54:56.000 --> 00:55:01.590
It was that the -- like the things they did at the same time created the shall

886
00:55:01.590 --> 00:55:02.000
ower.

887
00:55:02.000 --> 00:55:05.000
So, actually, this on the handboard?

888
00:55:05.000 --> 00:55:06.000
Yeah.

889
00:55:06.000 --> 00:55:07.000
Correct.

890
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:08.000
Okay.

891
00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:11.000
That stuff's tricky.

892
00:55:11.000 --> 00:55:12.000
That's why I stick with the body.

893
00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:14.000
It's a little bit more straightforward.

894
00:55:14.000 --> 00:55:21.000
Okay.

895
00:55:21.000 --> 00:55:24.000
That was because of all the 3D stuff when we talked.

896
00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:27.000
He was like, "You know, more about my swing than I do."

897
00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:34.000
I thought he's fun.

898
00:55:34.000 --> 00:55:35.000
Nice.

899
00:55:35.000 --> 00:55:36.000
All right.

900
00:55:36.000 --> 00:55:38.820
So, I added a little bit of, you know, the driver killers are going to be

901
00:55:38.820 --> 00:55:40.000
things related

902
00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:45.000
to access tilt or late face rotation or poor sequencing.

903
00:55:45.000 --> 00:55:51.000
The iron typically is more about the geometry and kind of like low point

904
00:55:51.000 --> 00:55:52.000
control and access

905
00:55:52.000 --> 00:55:57.000
tilt and then a little bit of kind of the release and arm timing.

906
00:55:57.000 --> 00:55:58.000
Not a little bit.

907
00:55:58.000 --> 00:56:02.000
A lot of the release and arm timing as well.

908
00:56:02.000 --> 00:56:08.490
But you'll have all this to -- and some of these are like kind of taken from

909
00:56:08.490 --> 00:56:09.000
some of the

910
00:56:09.000 --> 00:56:11.000
presentations on the site.

911
00:56:11.000 --> 00:56:19.000
So, if you want to dig more into these, build my stock tour swing or any of the

912
00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:19.000
courses,

913
00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:24.000
I do like little power points to explain it.

914
00:56:24.000 --> 00:56:30.000
So, reasons that golfers struggle with their power, whether it's creating more

915
00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:30.000
tension

916
00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:38.000
and force rather than speed or compensations for the like the club face or the

917
00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:38.000
path being

918
00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:39.000
out of position.

919
00:56:39.000 --> 00:56:42.660
Like it would be really hard if you were really steep and open to then have a

920
00:56:42.660 --> 00:56:44.000
very powerful

921
00:56:44.000 --> 00:56:47.000
bottom of the swing.

922
00:56:47.000 --> 00:56:49.000
Not using your whole body.

923
00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:53.650
So, poor foot to ground, poor core, kind of like so much tension in the wrist

924
00:56:53.650 --> 00:56:54.000
that's kind

925
00:56:54.000 --> 00:56:56.000
of all moving as one unit.

926
00:56:56.000 --> 00:56:58.000
I can all do it.

927
00:56:58.000 --> 00:56:59.000
All right.

928
00:56:59.000 --> 00:57:00.000
So, feel comfortable.

929
00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:02.000
You can put together a group class.

930
00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:05.000
Go make some money to make back what you gave me.

931
00:57:05.000 --> 00:57:07.000
Appreciate it.

932
00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:09.000
Okay.

933
00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:14.330
So, I just wanted to make sure we covered that so you felt comfortable because

934
00:57:14.330 --> 00:57:15.000
I figured

935
00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:19.000
there was mostly bullets just in case you had questions about it.

936
00:57:19.000 --> 00:57:24.000
But now what we're going to do is we're going to go and we're going to do the

937
00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:25.000
-- I won't

938
00:57:25.000 --> 00:57:27.000
go through the power point on the distance wedges.

939
00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:30.080
We'll just go through the drills up there, but we're going to start with all

940
00:57:30.080 --> 00:57:31.000
the full swing

941
00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:32.000
drills.

942
00:57:32.000 --> 00:57:37.000
So, I think we just have to go grab a cart, right?

943
00:57:37.000 --> 00:57:40.000
You've got -- you have the bus?

944
00:57:40.000 --> 00:57:42.000
Awesome.

945
00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:43.000
Okay.

946
00:57:43.000 --> 00:57:47.550
So, we'll be up there for the rest of the morning and then we'll break for

947
00:57:47.550 --> 00:57:48.000
lunch.

948
00:57:48.000 --> 00:57:52.000
And then we'll start putting in wedge play in here.

949
00:57:52.000 --> 00:57:55.000
So, let's head to the shuttle.
