Discover how to elevate your hands on drill sensitivity.

In this video, Tyler demonstrates a couple of handy partner drills to elevate your hands on drill sensitivity. These involve feeling yourself, or a partner, as they make movements with different levels of tension and intent. Your job is to feel what's moving or controlling the movement.

After building some base-level feeling capabilities, then we apply it to sensing your students during different phases of the swing. The most common places to feel are takeaway, transition, and release.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.000
Alright, first, any questions from the, from that first quick overview?

2
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.000
Too many to ask.

3
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:12.000
Too many to ask.

4
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:13.000
You can ask tomorrow morning.

5
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:18.000
We'll start by, you know, this is, this is where I want you to ask them, right?

6
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:22.440
Because it's a lot easier to do a detailed answer now than when you ask on the

7
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:23.000
website.

8
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:27.000
And I'm trying to come up with a, a one sentence answer.

9
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:33.090
Okay, well now we're going to jump into some of the tactile coaching principles

10
00:00:33.090 --> 00:00:34.000
and ideas.

11
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:39.360
So we're going to start before we go to lunch with, we're going to start with

12
00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:42.000
building your ability to feel.

13
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.090
Okay, because I'm, I'm guessing how many of you've never put your hands on your

14
00:00:47.090 --> 00:00:48.000
student.

15
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.000
Right, yeah?

16
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:54.000
Probably not one they've never, but rarely.

17
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:59.140
Okay, how, how many of you feel that it's productive when you put your hands on

18
00:00:59.140 --> 00:01:02.000
your students and you're able to feel what they're doing?

19
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:03.000
Yeah?

20
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:04.000
Okay, good.

21
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.000
Well, we're going to test some of that.

22
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:10.000
So we're going to start with a couple, like, what I would call basic exercises

23
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.000
to kind of start feeling how the body moves.

24
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:16.000
So we're not going to do them totally in order.

25
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.000
We're going to start with the forearm one because you can do that seated.

26
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:24.120
Okay, so first what I want you to do is you're going to hold your arm out and

27
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:28.000
you're going to basically hold on to your forearm with the opposite hand.

28
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:29.000
Okay?

29
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.090
And now first one we're going to do is you're going to move the hand into

30
00:01:33.090 --> 00:01:36.000
extension, but try not to create a ton of tension.

31
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.000
Could you feel with the off hand?

32
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.000
Could you feel the movement?

33
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.000
And now you're going to move it inward.

34
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:49.000
Okay, and now we're going to move up, that one's a little more subtle.

35
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:54.000
And then down, that one's even more subtle.

36
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:59.000
Okay, now if you were to make a fist, you feel it kind of swell up.

37
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.740
Wow, you're going to feel a lot of that on your students when you feel like

38
00:02:02.740 --> 00:02:04.000
activity like that.

39
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:09.000
Now do the same motions and it's a little kind of more subtle.

40
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:14.000
So it's harder to feel when you started from a position.

41
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.000
Uh oh.

42
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.000
All right, good.

43
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:19.000
Yeah.

44
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.760
So it's harder when you start from this position of force, but you can still

45
00:02:22.760 --> 00:02:26.000
kind of feel it in which directions of moving, right?

46
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.380
Now you could also relax the arm and now if you were to pull in from the

47
00:02:30.380 --> 00:02:35.500
shoulder, you can feel it like so you're going to try to pull this way and you

48
00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:38.000
're going to try to move that way.

49
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.760
You'll feel much change in the forearm, but you'll feel, and you can kind of

50
00:02:42.760 --> 00:02:47.300
like feel some of the more subtle if you were to move your shoulder around and

51
00:02:47.300 --> 00:02:53.930
you can feel what's happening in the shoulder through the elbow or through the

52
00:02:53.930 --> 00:02:55.000
forearm.

53
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.450
Gee tells a story of an osteopath school. You would have to, you'd have

54
00:02:58.450 --> 00:03:02.100
somebody laying on the table and you'd have to like put your hand on their big

55
00:03:02.100 --> 00:03:05.000
toe and they would ask you what's happening at the knee.

56
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.560
What's happening at the hip? What's happening at the shoulder? What's happening

57
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:12.000
at the jaw? Like just feel the tension through the body.

58
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:19.000
This is a little simpler. I mean, I'm finished osteopath training now.

59
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:26.590
Okay, so then that's kind of like a real simple one. Now we're going to partner

60
00:03:26.590 --> 00:03:28.000
up. We're going to dance.

61
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:33.750
We're going to do a couple of dance exercises. So you're going to stand up and

62
00:03:33.750 --> 00:03:38.000
I can help partner or you can find somebody.

63
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:51.000
We might have one group of three. Oh, yeah.

64
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:56.000
Yeah, yeah, so no, we're good.

65
00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:03.330
Okay, so you can see the position that I'm in right there. So here, Robbie. So,

66
00:04:03.330 --> 00:04:06.000
all right, so you're going to go.

67
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.590
You're just barely leaning into each other. And the first one we're going to do

68
00:04:10.590 --> 00:04:14.340
is you're going to try to maintain a consistent amount of pressure between the

69
00:04:14.340 --> 00:04:16.000
two of you and you're going to take turns.

70
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:21.160
So one of you is going to say, all right, I'm the lead and the other person's

71
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.000
going to be the follow. And we're going to try to keep maintain. I'm not even

72
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:23.000
going to tell you what we're going to do.

73
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.080
You're going to try to maintain the same amount of pressure, but you're going

74
00:04:27.080 --> 00:04:32.110
to move in response to how I move. So if I move away, you move away to maintain

75
00:04:32.110 --> 00:04:34.000
the same, but we're still maintaining pressure.

76
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:40.220
So now, as you move in, you're going to have to absorb that pressure with your

77
00:04:40.220 --> 00:04:47.870
arms. So he kind of pushed me over there. It's kind of like matching the amount

78
00:04:47.870 --> 00:04:50.000
of tension that your partner is doing.

79
00:04:50.000 --> 00:05:07.340
Okay. What, you're not going to do it? No, I did it. Oh, with Andrew. I did it

80
00:05:07.340 --> 00:05:11.000
with Andrew. Did you let Andrew do it? Did he get to be the lead?

81
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:34.230
Yeah. You're supposed to -- and if you, if you, if you both, if you both tried,

82
00:05:34.230 --> 00:05:39.180
switch it up, you know, try somebody else and see if -- because you're going to

83
00:05:39.180 --> 00:05:40.000
feel totally different things when you're on different things.

84
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.000
So --

85
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:47.000
I'm trying to get a little opposite of what I'm talking about.

86
00:05:47.000 --> 00:06:00.000
It's almost like there's a solid glacier. Yeah.

87
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:07.200
Yeah. Okay. That's the, that's kind of the warm-up one. So now the second one

88
00:06:07.200 --> 00:06:09.000
is a little bit more golfy.

89
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:16.090
Come on back. Okay. So now I can either do this with or without rotation. I

90
00:06:16.090 --> 00:06:21.240
want you to close your eyes. I want you to tell me, tell me, what am I pushing

91
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:22.000
with?

92
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:27.000
Right arm. Okay.

93
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:35.000
To the heel of your right hand. Or I feel it. Right shoulder.

94
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.000
Okay. Open your eyes. So first one was this.

95
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:43.760
Okay. Second one. I got you. I did it more with my body weight. Third one I did

96
00:06:43.760 --> 00:06:47.000
it more by rotation. Now can you feel a subtle difference between them?

97
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.560
Yeah, I felt different for sure. Yeah. Okay. So that's basically what you're

98
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.410
going to try to experiment with is, okay, I'm going to push with just my, my

99
00:06:53.410 --> 00:06:55.000
elbow.

100
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.250
I'm going to push with my shoulder. I'm going to push with my rib cage. I'm

101
00:06:58.250 --> 00:07:02.000
going to, I'm going to push with more of my foot.

102
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:06.380
You're going to try to feel pushing from different, or you're going to try to

103
00:07:06.380 --> 00:07:09.000
absorb and sense where they're pushing from.

104
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.470
You don't have to do the eyes closed, but I usually do that for effect. It's

105
00:07:12.470 --> 00:07:15.000
fun if you try that way.

106
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.400
What, however many you can come up with. I would say at the very least, so the

107
00:07:19.400 --> 00:07:25.110
ones I have listed there are basically your hand, your arm, your body, your

108
00:07:25.110 --> 00:07:27.000
weight shift, and then rotation.

109
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:32.000
Like let them at least feel those. Okay.

110
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:59.000
And if you're finding it challenging, it will get easier.

111
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:51.000
And this is the stuff that would be really hard to do in an online class.

112
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:56.000
Yeah. Everyone get some feels?

113
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:03.000
Yes.

114
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:11.250
Because this is the underlying skill to the hands-on drills, especially, I'll

115
00:09:11.250 --> 00:09:16.870
break it down into kind of like sensing drills or sensing practice versus

116
00:09:16.870 --> 00:09:19.000
activation or you're moving them.

117
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:22.540
If you're trying to sense what they're doing, it's more like this, where you

118
00:09:22.540 --> 00:09:27.040
have to not restrict them and kind of go with them to be able to feel how they

119
00:09:27.040 --> 00:09:28.000
're moving.

120
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:35.000
So it'll get better the more and more that you do with these.

121
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:48.390
Okay. So then the next step, and we're going to do this just in here because it

122
00:09:48.390 --> 00:09:49.000
's more convenient. So now we're going to do it more in golf swing movement.

123
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:53.640
So here, let me have you face, you're going to stand here face that way, get

124
00:09:53.640 --> 00:09:59.280
down in your golf posture, and I'll show basically in this exercise, your goal

125
00:09:59.280 --> 00:10:01.000
is not to restrict.

126
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.000
So I don't want him to feel like, oh, you pushed me out of position. Okay.

127
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:10.000
So first one's the easiest one is I'm going to do the bottom of the rib cage.

128
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:14.800
So here's his shoulder blades. Okay. So here's the bottom of his shoulder blade

129
00:10:14.800 --> 00:10:15.000
.

130
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:19.530
This is about the seventh rib. It's probably a little bit higher up in this

131
00:10:19.530 --> 00:10:23.000
posture, but the bottom of the rib cage is at about the seventh rib.

132
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:28.210
And we're going to try to kind of hold from there and down. There's 12 ribs

133
00:10:28.210 --> 00:10:32.750
total, so we're kind of trying to spread our fingers and cover a little bit of

134
00:10:32.750 --> 00:10:34.000
space over here.

135
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:37.440
You see that? Now I'm gripping him so that you can see, but when I actually do

136
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.000
it, it's kind of more of a soft touch, kind of like this.

137
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:45.620
Okay. So go ahead and make your backswing. Okay. And then come on down,

138
00:10:45.620 --> 00:10:49.000
transition, try not to hurt yourself by hitting anything.

139
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:53.140
Good. And so at first, I'm just trying to feel kind of like the plane it's

140
00:10:53.140 --> 00:10:58.870
moving on. And if there's any rapid change of directions, if it's pretty smooth

141
00:10:58.870 --> 00:11:04.000
, we're going to do it at a few different spots. So that was rib cage.

142
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:10.410
Go ahead. We'll do it one more time. And did it feel like I was blocking you at

143
00:11:10.410 --> 00:11:15.350
all? No. Okay, good. So then the second one is now I want to feel the shoulder

144
00:11:15.350 --> 00:11:16.000
blade.

145
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:21.090
So the shoulder blade, it's this triangular shape kind of here, but there's a

146
00:11:21.090 --> 00:11:25.000
part of it called the spine that kind of runs across here.

147
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:30.090
And when we do the shoulder blade movement, you're going to be either below the

148
00:11:30.090 --> 00:11:32.000
spine or above the spine.

149
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:36.720
If today, all you do is put your hands on. I'm fine. But you'll feel that it's

150
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:41.010
going to be easier if you're kind of on either side. So you'll see that I do

151
00:11:41.010 --> 00:11:44.460
this with kind of a light touch, kind of spreading my fingers so I can feel

152
00:11:44.460 --> 00:11:45.000
more surface area.

153
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:51.000
All right. So go ahead and make a backswing. Okay. And then come on down.

154
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:55.560
And usually when I do this at first on the lesson to you, that's kind of like I

155
00:11:55.560 --> 00:11:58.000
'll just say do a slow motion swing.

156
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.290
We will, I've got a slide next where I'll kind of warn you about where to stand

157
00:12:03.290 --> 00:12:05.000
and stuff like that.

158
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:11.090
So then next one in here, we're going to feel the pelvis. So usually it's

159
00:12:11.090 --> 00:12:13.000
safest kind of on the side and high.

160
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:17.130
If you're not sure where the pelvis is, here's his ribs and now I'm going to

161
00:12:17.130 --> 00:12:21.080
come down kind of the soft bits and then the top brim of the pelvis will be

162
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.000
kind of like right in there.

163
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:29.090
And if you followed that forward, that's like the point of your pelvis there.

164
00:12:29.090 --> 00:12:30.000
That's called your ASIS.

165
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:35.000
And so that's a really good anchor and you kind of put your your thumbs along.

166
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:38.000
So you've got this whole brim surface area kind of like that.

167
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:45.000
So go ahead and make your backswing. Good. And then come on down.

168
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:53.000
Okay. Not bad. And then turn and face me.

169
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:58.250
In here today, all I'm trying to do is is feel what angle it's moving on. And

170
00:12:58.250 --> 00:13:03.050
like if it's balanced, like I'm just, I call this sensing because I'm basically

171
00:13:03.050 --> 00:13:05.000
just trying to feel what they're doing.

172
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.740
And remember when we were doing this, I'm kind of feeling like, since I'm doing

173
00:13:09.740 --> 00:13:15.940
it, I'm feeling like, where is he coordinating? Like, that right shoulder blade

174
00:13:15.940 --> 00:13:17.000
didn't continue.

175
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:21.540
Like, why did it start changing direction there? The pelvis was pretty good,

176
00:13:21.540 --> 00:13:25.990
but it was a little level in the backswing. Like, I might be feeling some of

177
00:13:25.990 --> 00:13:27.000
these things.

178
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:33.090
And I'm not saying that about just, you know, that's one. Okay. So go ahead and

179
00:13:33.090 --> 00:13:39.000
make a backswing. So the arms and hands can be a little bit tricky for sensing.

180
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.030
Usually when I have them, usually I'll start this one in the top of the swing

181
00:13:43.030 --> 00:13:47.000
unless there's something I'm specifically looking at in the backswing.

182
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:51.380
Because what I'm going to do is here actually turn and face that way. So go

183
00:13:51.380 --> 00:13:54.000
ahead and make your backswing and then stop.

184
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:57.610
Good. So usually what I'll do is I'll kind of grab onto the hands with my

185
00:13:57.610 --> 00:14:01.310
outside hand and grab onto the inside elbow there and I'll say, all right, go

186
00:14:01.310 --> 00:14:02.000
ahead and go in transition.

187
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:06.580
And I can kind of feel what direction good. And I'm kind of like walking around

188
00:14:06.580 --> 00:14:12.400
them. It's almost a little easier with the club because there's like a cadence

189
00:14:12.400 --> 00:14:16.000
to it, but go back up to the top.

190
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:21.770
And this is my normal. I'm kind of in front and I come on down. And it's kind

191
00:14:21.770 --> 00:14:26.050
of more like that. And I'm just feeling like the direction and I'm trying to

192
00:14:26.050 --> 00:14:30.000
feel how the shoulders are moving, how the forearms are moving similar to when

193
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.000
we were trying to feel all that or when you were doing the pushing.

194
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.900
Okay. So you're going to take turns. You can ask them to go through it. I would

195
00:14:37.900 --> 00:14:42.360
recommend in this one like once you felt a person go ahead and try somebody

196
00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:47.000
else just to feel how different rib cages and shoulders and stuff feel.

197
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:52.000
And if you have a hard time, like finding anything, let me know.

198
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.000
Okay. So basic sensing.

199
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:07.090
So I've got the pictures up here in case you forget, but yeah, so here's the

200
00:15:07.090 --> 00:15:10.000
bottom of the shoulder blade. So it's kind of like great about here.

201
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.000
Okay. And there's a light. Yep.

202
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:15.000
All right. I'm just feeling it.

203
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:19.910
And I would get, I would get a little bit closer so that you can kind of move

204
00:15:19.910 --> 00:15:21.000
with them.

205
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:24.000
There you go.

206
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.000
Yep.

207
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:33.330
Yeah, I would air on getting closer so that you can move with them when we were

208
00:15:33.330 --> 00:15:36.000
doing that dance thing.

209
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:41.000
Trying to find.

210
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:45.400
It's harder on strong guy. Yeah. It's harder when they have a whole bunch of

211
00:15:45.400 --> 00:15:46.000
muscle.

212
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:53.000
Yeah, that's a compliment. So it's kind of like right about there.

213
00:15:53.000 --> 00:16:01.000
Yep.

214
00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:07.090
You kind of lost. So the big thing I would do is so watch, I would get them a

215
00:16:07.090 --> 00:16:09.000
little bit closer and I usually kind of duck down.

216
00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:12.000
So go ahead. So I can kind of like.

217
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:17.600
Yeah, I, it's almost like I'm part of the rotation with him. Does that make

218
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:22.000
sense? Did that feel different when I did it than she did it?

219
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:27.000
Soft hand.

220
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:31.000
Yep. That was bad.

221
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:38.530
So the, uh, it'll be kind of easier to feel. So here's the base. So it's kind

222
00:16:38.530 --> 00:16:41.000
of like, this muscle is just underneath it.

223
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:47.000
So we're right there. Yep. So that's the spine and then on top of it.

224
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:55.000
Yeah. Correct. Yep.

225
00:16:55.000 --> 00:17:01.090
And one, uh, so here, one, one kind of, uh, one global piece of advice I give

226
00:17:01.090 --> 00:17:10.000
that I'm kind of seeing here is, uh, Tom, go ahead and get in the posture.

227
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:15.000
Okay. Um, so here, go ahead and get in your golf posture.

228
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:19.000
Uh, and I'm going to step behind you. Okay.

229
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:23.760
So whether I'm doing the road, the pelvis, like if I'm doing the big body parts

230
00:17:23.760 --> 00:17:27.000
, you'll see I get fairly close and now go ahead and make your backswing.

231
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:32.000
And I kind of move with it and then go through.

232
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:38.000
If I just stand there and try to move my arms with it, it's, it's hard to, like

233
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:38.000
,

234
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.000
If you're doing too much with your arms, it's really hard to feel.

235
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:46.000
So I'm kind of like a little bit soft with the arms so that I can kind of move

236
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:50.220
my body with it and keep my arms in more of a sensing feel rather than a, like,

237
00:17:50.220 --> 00:17:51.000
gripping or guiding.

238
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:55.000
Okay. Yeah.

239
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:59.030
So do the, do the transition one with that where you put your left or right

240
00:17:59.030 --> 00:18:01.000
hand for the wrist, the trail elbow.

241
00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:04.000
So go up to the top of your swing.

242
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:08.000
Yeah, left hand. Okay. And when he starts to rotate.

243
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:13.000
Yep. I would walk around, but real little, but yeah, kind of right in there.

244
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:15.000
And you always ask permission.

245
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.000
What would you put your hand on? Do you ever have the trail elbow to do that?

246
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:19.000
No, I don't do that.

247
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:20.000
Yes.

248
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:22.000
Well, especially if I guide it.

249
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:27.000
So that's when we do, right, when I do more of a guiding one.

250
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:28.000
Yes.

251
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:29.000
Yes.

252
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:32.720
They'll, they'll often, like even that gentleman when I did, he was like, Oh

253
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:34.000
man, that felt good. I'm never there.

254
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:35.000
Yeah.

255
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.000
I guess what you couldn't feel.

256
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:40.960
But, but yes. And there are some, there are some, you know, like some juniors

257
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.000
and stuff that I will, I'll err on the other drills.

258
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:47.000
Like I'll give them more self-guided.

259
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:51.060
But usually most people, I say like, Hey, do you, like, I want to feel

260
00:18:51.060 --> 00:18:52.000
something.

261
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:54.630
Do you mind if I put my hands right here? And I'll just tell them what I'm

262
00:18:54.630 --> 00:18:55.000
going to do.

263
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.000
And most people are fine with it.

264
00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:58.000
Yeah.

265
00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:59.000
I could be having it.

266
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:02.480
This one is, is this sometimes like a different motor program than if they're

267
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:04.000
actually like hitting a ball or?

268
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:05.000
Probably.

269
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:06.000
Probably.

270
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:10.910
But you're asking, when you're asking them to do it in slow motion, like it,

271
00:19:10.910 --> 00:19:14.000
correct, correct.

272
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:17.430
It's kind of like you get exactly, you get an idea of their concept rather than

273
00:19:17.430 --> 00:19:19.000
what they're actually doing.

274
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:21.000
Don't remember which one.

275
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:28.590
Yeah. So when you hear, so if I want to feel the backswing, it's kind of, just

276
00:19:28.590 --> 00:19:31.000
kind of like, if you look in the mirror, go back.

277
00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:35.380
Notice how I have like my fingers, I've got a couple above and one on and then

278
00:19:35.380 --> 00:19:36.000
one below.

279
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:39.440
So I'm kind of feeling how that space is moving. Go ahead and make your back

280
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:40.000
swing.

281
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:44.000
But I usually kind of start, so that lets me feel like take away stuff.

282
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:47.000
But this is usually, I'll say go up to the top of your swing.

283
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:51.860
And then I'm kind of in here and I come on down and I'm basically just feeling

284
00:19:51.860 --> 00:19:54.000
what he's doing there.

285
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:58.000
So this hand is kind of feeling both of those and this hand is feeling that.

286
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:01.000
Yeah.

287
00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:03.000
Yeah, yeah.

288
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:08.000
Yeah, the arm seems to be the tricky one to remember.

289
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:13.000
So here, you'll be able to see easier.

290
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:15.000
So go ahead, get set up.

291
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:18.770
So if we're just doing, where do I go at the top of the swing? So go up to the

292
00:20:18.770 --> 00:20:20.000
top of your swing.

293
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:25.000
So I'll kind of reach across and get there and then I'll take my outside hand

294
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:28.670
and put it kind of on this left hand or on the, kind of like almost like mid

295
00:20:28.670 --> 00:20:29.000
hands.

296
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:33.150
And then I'll say come on and start down. And I'm just kind of moving around

297
00:20:33.150 --> 00:20:35.000
with him. Do it again.

298
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:38.000
So you're kind of running.

299
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:41.960
Come on down. I usually do it to right about there in transition and then I can

300
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:43.000
get out of the way.

301
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:47.000
And that's part of the reason we're doing it in slow motion.

302
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:52.540
I'll show you how I, we have lots of different versions of these that we're

303
00:20:52.540 --> 00:20:54.000
going to be going through.

304
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:58.000
You know, if they do one of these naturally, you're holding this bus.

305
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:01.000
I'm not holding. I'm touching.

306
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:04.600
The only thing they're less likely to do is because we're doing it in slow

307
00:21:04.600 --> 00:21:05.000
motion.

308
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:08.550
But you'll still feel it. You'll kind of, you'll feel right away and you'll

309
00:21:08.550 --> 00:21:09.000
feel it.

310
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:13.000
Yeah. I promise you will feel it. Yeah.

311
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:24.000
You're good.

312
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:40.000
Are you holding your breath?

313
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.000
You're doing great.

314
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:52.000
Okay.

315
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:09.000
It'll make more sense.

316
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:15.000
Okay.

317
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:21.000
So basic, basic guidelines here.

318
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:25.730
When you're, when you're doing this sensing stuff and they actually have a club

319
00:22:25.730 --> 00:22:27.000
is safety first.

320
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:34.000
So these are kind of basically the three safe places to stand.

321
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:40.520
Occasionally I will go into that far X if I trust them and I know that they're

322
00:22:40.520 --> 00:22:42.000
not going to hit me.

323
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:49.330
But this is where you will, if you stand here, like here, Fred, stand face that

324
00:22:49.330 --> 00:22:50.000
way.

325
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:54.400
So I see a bunch of instructor, like go up to the top of the swing and they'll

326
00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:55.000
walk in from here.

327
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:59.000
And in my head, I'm just like, oh my gosh, please don't start your downswing

328
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:02.000
because the club is going to be moving fast and I'm going to be in space.

329
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:08.090
But if I'm here, which is box number two, and if you start your downswing, like

330
00:23:08.090 --> 00:23:12.950
fastest, you know, the really fast swingers of the club are going to get the

331
00:23:12.950 --> 00:23:15.000
handle moving about 26 miles an hour.

332
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:19.000
Like something 26 miles an hour coming into me isn't isn't going to hurt.

333
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:22.000
Right? Unless it's metal.

334
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:27.090
So standing here, I'm close, that's safe, standing here, same thing on the way

335
00:23:27.090 --> 00:23:28.000
through.

336
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:31.000
So as he comes through, go ahead all the way.

337
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:36.500
And even if you swung pretty like quickly, like I can, this isn't moving too

338
00:23:36.500 --> 00:23:39.000
fast and the clubs long enough.

339
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:42.000
I've been hit two or three times.

340
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:47.000
One of them was I was standing in this safe space behind.

341
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:52.470
But they took a long finish and had kind of a very vertical motion and the club

342
00:23:52.470 --> 00:23:57.000
hit me at the very end of the follow through more of a freak.

343
00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:00.000
So, or a freak accident, I should say.

344
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:04.380
Usually when I'm doing back here, like some will ask what I do when I have, you

345
00:24:04.380 --> 00:24:07.000
know, like a junior or something like that.

346
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:11.000
Like I'll get down here, take a step forward.

347
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:16.680
So I'll get down kind of on one knee if I'm trying to get down to close to the

348
00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:20.000
height of my hands when I'm doing this.

349
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:25.610
So I'll often, I'm often looking away, kind of you'll see here because I'm

350
00:24:25.610 --> 00:24:28.000
trying to more sense rather than just look.

351
00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:32.000
So I'm kind of down in this position and go ahead and make your swing.

352
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:35.000
Come on down.

353
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:42.980
Good. And we're going to progress from sensing to guiding where we're going to

354
00:24:42.980 --> 00:24:46.000
help move our students through the movements that we wanted to do.

355
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:50.860
But these are kind of the rough, like just quick reminder, never stand in

356
00:24:50.860 --> 00:24:55.000
transition where it's moving fast and never stand down at impact.

357
00:24:55.000 --> 00:25:01.260
I'm sure you've all seen the clips on YouTube of instructors getting hit with

358
00:25:01.260 --> 00:25:03.000
either golf balls or golf clubs.

359
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:07.870
I don't want anybody, if I'm encouraging you to get close, I want you to do it

360
00:25:07.870 --> 00:25:09.000
very safely.

361
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:11.000
Okay.

362
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:17.220
In general, from behind, that's where I'm going to typically feel scapula, ribs

363
00:25:17.220 --> 00:25:22.000
pelvis, sometimes head neck, and lead arm and finish.

364
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:24.000
We'll do a bunch of stuff there.

365
00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:29.360
In front part two, or station number two there, that's often where I'm focusing

366
00:25:29.360 --> 00:25:32.000
on transition and delivery position.

367
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:34.000
It's kind of the early part of the down swings.

368
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:39.000
So lead side ribs, I'll show you how we do that, or how I do that.

369
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:42.000
Hands wrist, elbow shoulders, like I said, transition a lot.

370
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:48.220
And then target side three is more like release stuff and follow through

371
00:25:48.220 --> 00:25:53.000
embracing the lead side ribs, shoulder arms, all that stuff.

372
00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:55.000
Okay.

373
00:25:55.000 --> 00:26:04.150
So, we were thinking, we'll probably order, if you didn't see the email, I

374
00:26:04.150 --> 00:26:10.000
think this would be a good time if you want to order food.

375
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:15.000
To have it delivered kind of in a timely fashion, this will be a good little,

376
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:18.000
will take like a five minute break if you want to order stuff.

377
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.520
And then we'll get into run over to the quick part of a driving range where we

378
00:26:22.520 --> 00:26:26.000
'll just do some of the feeling, but using the club.

379
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:32.220
Now you know exactly what to look for before we start doing more of the phase

380
00:26:32.220 --> 00:26:33.000
training.

381
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:34.000
Okay.

382
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:41.990
If you've never ordered anything off of like Uber Eats or Grubhub or stuff like

383
00:26:41.990 --> 00:26:46.000
that, Lawrence is the expert in the back.

384
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:51.000
If you're not going to order, there is a there is a restaurant here.

385
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:58.000
It looks like you had kind of a limited menu, but there's a restaurant here.

386
00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:02.000
He can tell you.

387
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:10.620
The normal, we're going to go to, I'm guessing that we'll probably be out there

388
00:27:10.620 --> 00:27:17.940
for 20 minutes or so doing just some of this stuff, and then then we'll break

389
00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:19.000
for lunch.

390
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:22.000
Not for this part.

391
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:23.000
No.

392
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:26.000
So, okay.

393
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:31.000
Yeah.

394
00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:41.940
Now once we, you can see all these pictures are are done without balls, but

395
00:27:41.940 --> 00:27:51.000
then we'll get into the tactile drills, which are usually using balls.

396
00:27:51.000 --> 00:28:01.000
The goal is to kind of get to here before lunch.

397
00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:04.000
Yes.

398
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:09.000
It's not going to be dramatic.

399
00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:15.450
Like if I, you know, if I ask you to do a movement in slow motion, it's going

400
00:28:15.450 --> 00:28:17.000
to have some of the same elements.

401
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:22.190
There are places where, and part of the reason I do it in slow motion is for my

402
00:28:22.190 --> 00:28:26.750
safety, but you'll see we're going to do, like, when you get more comfortable

403
00:28:26.750 --> 00:28:30.000
with it, we're going to do stuff where they're hitting like half shots.

404
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:35.020
I almost never have them hitting like complete full shots, and they usually won

405
00:28:35.020 --> 00:28:37.000
't when I'm standing there.

406
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:42.000
Like, because they're, especially some are a little scared of hitting you.

407
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:54.540
But like I said, if you respect, if you stand in the safe spots and let them

408
00:28:54.540 --> 00:29:02.000
know what you're doing, you'll be fine.

409
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:16.000
There are concerns about these drills.

410
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:34.000
And this with me, just so I make sure we cover it all.

411
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:39.000
Now we did, did anyone bring clubs?

412
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:40.000
Okay.

413
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:41.000
That you have with you?

414
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:42.000
Okay.

415
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:43.000
And we should be fine.

416
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:47.000
I was going to say, can we steal some of the Andrews?

417
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:51.000
Yeah, perfect.

418
00:29:51.000 --> 00:30:01.050
Because we're going to be in small groups, so it's not like we need more than a

419
00:30:01.050 --> 00:30:02.000
few.

420
00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:09.000
Seven, eight, nine.

421
00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:10.000
Sure.

422
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:13.000
I always say, like, we can do this.

423
00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:15.000
I'll do it with driver.

424
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:20.000
I mean, depending on what they, yesterday, I had a guide.

425
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:24.910
Yeah, we were hitting like three quarter close to full drivers with me standing

426
00:30:24.910 --> 00:30:30.000
behind kind of guiding his arm a little bit.

427
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:38.000
And it's all people are doing.

428
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:46.000
All right, we're rolling.

429
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:50.000
So we had a fun discussion yesterday.

430
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:55.840
This is a terrible video, but we had a fun discussion yesterday about this was

431
00:30:55.840 --> 00:30:58.000
our first time working together.

432
00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:00.000
You know, kind of worked with some of my stuffs.

433
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:01.000
I was open.

434
00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:05.480
You could share what we talked about, like, what made Montgomery Academy and

435
00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:10.000
specifically me working with you in person, kind of different.

436
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:18.000
I think it was reading the book and listening to the videos.

437
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:22.000
I kind of got the, I understood what I was supposed to do.

438
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:24.000
I just didn't know how to get there.

439
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:27.960
In person, you were able to put the pieces together, mostly by, like, actually

440
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:30.000
putting me in position with your hands.

441
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:34.000
I thought I was getting to certain places and I actually wasn't.

442
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:38.640
And it kind of was necessary for a piece to be put together and truly

443
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:43.000
understand, like, how to get where you wanted me to get.

444
00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:47.380
Yeah, we had done a couple of online lessons where we had worked on some of the

445
00:31:47.380 --> 00:31:48.000
stuff.

446
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:53.380
The hands on stuff, like, you know, it seemed like in 15, 20 minutes you were

447
00:31:53.380 --> 00:31:55.000
able to get more done.

448
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:59.610
No, like, for instance, one of the things, there was a drill that it was

449
00:31:59.610 --> 00:32:04.000
turning into your, you know, turning your package into your left arm.

450
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:08.000
And I was trying to work on it and I was trying to get to that position.

451
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:13.290
But when you put your hand on me and had me turn my core, was when it finally

452
00:32:13.290 --> 00:32:15.000
clicked and it made it ten times easier.

453
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:20.000
So, now, when I go home to practice, I feel like I'm going to be able to know,

454
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:20.000
okay, you're doing it wrong.

455
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:23.000
This is where, this is the feeling you have to get back to.

456
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:27.000
And the fun thing was you were able to see how the video changed, right?

457
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:29.000
There's always, every golfer has looks up there.

458
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:30.000
Yeah.

459
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:34.000
And if I do in these hands on, you really actually make it look different.

460
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:37.990
It was, well, I, it was, on video, it looked totally different than where I

461
00:32:37.990 --> 00:32:39.000
thought it was.

462
00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:42.000
But you put me in a position and I'm like, this is going to look.

463
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:46.000
And I look in the video and it's totally different than what it felt like.

464
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:47.000
Yeah.

465
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:48.000
Feeling real.

466
00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:51.000
It's definitely made more sense to me.

467
00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:52.000
Awesome.

468
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:55.000
Well, fun visit won't steal too much more of your time.

469
00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:56.000
All right.

470
00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:57.000
All right.

471
00:32:57.000 --> 00:33:00.000
So, everybody have time to place orders.

472
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:04.000
If they're, if they're doing that, are you still working on one more?

473
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:05.000
Anyway.

474
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:06.000
Yeah.

475
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:13.000
We're in the notes, like, where should we have it before?

476
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:14.000
Andrew just left.

477
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.000
Andrew just left any.

478
00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:31.000
[ Inaudible ]

479
00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:34.460
He said that his students, you know, the kids have stuff delivered here all the

480
00:33:34.460 --> 00:33:35.000
time.

481
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:36.000
So.

482
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:39.000
He also said he can walk over or something.

483
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:41.000
Well, I didn't know if that's what he wanted.

484
00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:43.000
I mean, if that's, oh, no, no, no.

485
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:44.000
That's definitely an option.

486
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:46.000
There's a window there.

487
