1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.080
this is the three-step swing plan so we've had a number of requests for kind

2
00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:10.200
of a little bit more structure like say a six-week program or a three-week

3
00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:15.200
program to kind of go through all the content of the full swing so I'd like to

4
00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:18.840
point out that I think that it's a challenge to go through all the content

5
00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:25.360
in one sequential plan but you can we can use a plan to pinpoint some of the

6
00:00:25.360 --> 00:00:28.840
key areas to focus on and then you can use some of the additional videos to

7
00:00:28.840 --> 00:00:33.960
kind of build upon the the main points that you figure out in that plan so the

8
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.960
three-step plan the way I would go about this wing and I frequently use this at

9
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.560
the beginning of the season just to kind of take inventory and see where my

10
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:47.640
swings add or to refresh kind of the fundamentals as I think they're key and

11
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:52.510
you can use this as kind of a short-term six-week program three-week program I

12
00:00:52.510 --> 00:00:52.840
've

13
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:57.560
seen it done even in a week of trying to get ready for an event and really

14
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:02.120
establish some playing fields so it's kind of like it's almost like tasting

15
00:01:02.120 --> 00:01:06.000
all the different areas of the swing and figuring out which ones are the most

16
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:12.600
important for me right now so the step one or I guess the three steps are

17
00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:17.640
simple step one we're gonna work on setup and brushing the ground step two

18
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:22.240
we're gonna work on sequencing and then step three we're gonna work on the

19
00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:26.480
backswing now within step three we're gonna revisit the brush so we'll work on

20
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.240
backswing and brush because the brush location is so important for building

21
00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:34.120
that playing feel and taking you away from too many internal thoughts and

22
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:39.320
getting really externally focused on where the clubhead is so step one would

23
00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:43.640
be working on some of your setup fundamentals so we you can look through

24
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.040
the setup section and if you're doing this as a review you can just kind of

25
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:51.880
refresh which might be your keys but basically finding finding a good posture

26
00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:57.240
so kind of keeping my core engaged slide my hands down until they're at about

27
00:01:57.240 --> 00:01:57.480
my

28
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:04.320
kneecaps feeling even weight distribution so kind of good neutral spine letting

29
00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:10.240
my arms hang and then taking my good grip procedure will will include some of

30
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:14.910
the videos down here in step one and you can jump along and follow those now

31
00:02:14.910 --> 00:02:15.400
the

32
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:20.760
problem with just doing setup is it doesn't really give you a good concept

33
00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:24.640
to work on during the swing so it can be a pretty good anchor as far as a

34
00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:24.920
playing

35
00:02:24.920 --> 00:02:28.560
feel like okay I'm gonna get in this good setup and then I'm just gonna press

36
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:32.840
play I'm just gonna let the swing go but for this little for a three step

37
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.600
program it doesn't make sense for that to be the only thing you do in step one

38
00:02:36.600 --> 00:02:41.040
so step one you're working on these setup fundamentals and then you're trying

39
00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:41.160
to

40
00:02:41.160 --> 00:02:45.650
work on getting the club to brush the ground and finishing a good follow-

41
00:02:45.650 --> 00:02:46.000
through

42
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:52.120
so if I feel the club kind of slamming in the ground I'm just gonna do little

43
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:58.120
adjustments and just see what I can athletically figure out get my body to do

44
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:03.480
to brush the ground in a good way okay so I'm working through this this could

45
00:03:03.480 --> 00:03:03.640
be

46
00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:07.800
one practice session this could be three practice sessions this could be a

47
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:08.040
whole

48
00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:12.880
month it's why I'm putting these in terms of steps instead of timelines

49
00:03:12.880 --> 00:03:18.720
because everybody is going to have a different amount of practice focus their

50
00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:26.200
level of attention so this is just step one okay so step one find that good

51
00:03:26.200 --> 00:03:26.600
setup

52
00:03:26.600 --> 00:03:33.040
position you know in from the hips good spine good weight distribution iron so

53
00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:38.160
slightly forward good arm hang alright setup feels pretty good and now in my

54
00:03:38.160 --> 00:03:43.600
mind I'm just feeling that club brushing the ground and using whatever kind of

55
00:03:43.600 --> 00:03:48.920
playing feel I've got to do that and then I can take some swings trying to get

56
00:03:48.920 --> 00:03:55.160
that club to brush the ground okay step two once I feel like I've got not even

57
00:03:55.160 --> 00:03:59.800
mastery but kind of some proficiency with just brushing the ground now I'm

58
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:04.560
gonna work on sequencing so I'm gonna work on transition into downswing I'm

59
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:10.320
going to work on getting my lower body to kind of initiate I'm going to work on

60
00:04:10.320 --> 00:04:15.240
maintaining my spine so I'm not going into early extension I'm not going into a

61
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:20.480
forward lunge I'm working on the sequencing transition and kind of getting

62
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:24.840
into a good delivery position so we started down with impact and brushing now

63
00:04:24.840 --> 00:04:31.520
we're working back to delivery but what I can do here is I can add in any of

64
00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:31.640
the

65
00:04:31.640 --> 00:04:35.920
feelings that I was using during that first step of the getting the club to

66
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:40.460
brush while I'm working on these transitions so I may be doing kind of

67
00:04:40.460 --> 00:04:49.120
some step drills I may be doing some pump drills kind of like so maybe doing

68
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:54.480
some broken transition focusing on either the arm shy allowing the early

69
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:59.680
closing or focusing on the sequencing of the body movements right so trying to

70
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:05.600
get my thighs to be or my belt buckle kind of pointing out there while the

71
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:10.600
club is still behind me all those sequencing and timing movements that

72
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:16.280
yield in yield a really good transition so step one I was getting brushing now

73
00:05:16.280 --> 00:05:23.280
I'm gonna do swing where I focus a little bit more on getting some of those

74
00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:29.720
transition sequencing feelings now I've got kind of that sequence that I want

75
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:30.240
and

76
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:36.120
I kind of let it go just like so so now I've got a really solid downswing I've

77
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:41.160
got a good feeling on there but my contact might not be what I want or it

78
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.920
might take too much mental focus for me to really feel like I can go play with

79
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:49.230
those thoughts so step three is I'm gonna review some of the backswing things

80
00:05:49.230 --> 00:05:50.160
so

81
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:55.160
I'm gonna work on getting a good one-piece takeaway keeping the club kind of

82
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:55.480
out

83
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:59.200
in front of me not letting it get too far inside we're not letting it just be

84
00:05:59.200 --> 00:06:04.120
arms so all those bad things getting the the body to kind of initiate the

85
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:10.720
takeaway and then making sure that I keep a relatively centered pivot so while

86
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:10.840
I

87
00:06:10.840 --> 00:06:14.640
have a pretty good pressure shift and I have a little bit of movement off the

88
00:06:14.640 --> 00:06:19.920
ball I don't want to have a big upper body or lower body sway off the ball and

89
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:24.760
I work on my my shoulder tilt and kind of width up at the top so I'd work on

90
00:06:24.760 --> 00:06:25.640
the

91
00:06:25.640 --> 00:06:29.520
shoulders getting a little bit more tilted having more of that kind of left

92
00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:36.920
side crunch allows me to get into my trail hip and I'd focus on having my

93
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:45.160
arms extend getting the club on on path and plane and then I would revisit some

94
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:50.760
of the things that I've done with either step one or step two so what I would

95
00:06:50.760 --> 00:06:54.560
highly recommend you're not doing already when you go through one of these

96
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:59.640
like three step programs set up a journal so that you can keep notes as to

97
00:06:59.640 --> 00:07:04.280
what were your really good playing fields I like to kind of write the date

98
00:07:04.280 --> 00:07:08.640
and then I'll write down what is my plan when I go to the range what am I gonna

99
00:07:08.640 --> 00:07:13.040
work on I'll write on what did I discover when I was at the range and then

100
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:18.360
I'll write when I left on a scale one to ten how successful was the practice

101
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:18.640
how

102
00:07:18.640 --> 00:07:23.920
well was I hitting the golf ball at the end I personally because I I like to

103
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:30.160
dabble a little bit with with art I'll draw what my swing thoughts were in my

104
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:34.040
in my journal usually which is stick figures but I'll draw it so that I

105
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:38.560
have a good memory of it so when I'm doing these backswing drills or this

106
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:45.280
backswing step I'm also gonna focus again on brushing the ground and revisiting

107
00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:50.880
that kind of follow through arm extension thing so now I may be kind of

108
00:07:50.880 --> 00:07:57.640
feeling some of these backswing moves feeling that backswing pivot there we go

109
00:07:57.640 --> 00:08:02.360
there's pretty good well backswing move and now I'm just gonna shift my focus

110
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:08.040
from backswing to that follow through as I work through the practice so good

111
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:15.560
backswing move kind of like so and now when I did that I felt like my sequence

112
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:19.720
in transition wasn't quite as good as when I was focusing on on sequence but

113
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:23.360
this might be something that'd be easier for me to play if I was

114
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:26.800
potentially getting ready for a trip or a tournament so this is great to do

115
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.600
either at the end of the season as kind of a you know wrapping things down at

116
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:31.880
the

117
00:08:31.880 --> 00:08:35.280
beginning of season to refresh everything that you've studied over the

118
00:08:35.280 --> 00:08:40.160
last year so or for a short term how can I develop some good playing fields

119
00:08:40.160 --> 00:08:43.680
where I'm not really sure where my swings at this is a great way to work

120
00:08:43.680 --> 00:08:48.080
through any of those three challenges and if you come up with any other

121
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:54.040
suggestions of how you can use these three set program please include send us

122
00:08:54.040 --> 00:08:56.960
a message in the bottom here because I think that you'll come up with some

123
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:01.360
great ways to use this little program in addition to what I've laid out here

124
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.760
for you
