00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.840
This wedge video is 30 yard reference so I have a number of students who
2
00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:08.440
struggle with
3
00:00:08.440 --> 00:00:13.220
kind of that 30/40 yard shot and one thing that I found has helped a lot of
4
00:00:13.220 --> 00:00:14.000
golfers is
5
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:19.280
having some idea of a reference of about how big of a swing you should take.
6
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:24.900
So we'll go through, we'll look at a bunch of or a handful of Torpo 3D files
7
00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:25.400
and what
8
00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:29.790
you'll see is that there's kind of this zone where most of these Torpo's have
9
00:00:29.790 --> 00:00:30.480
figured out
10
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:35.100
they need to take their backswing back to about this far in order to hit it 30
11
00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:35.760
yards.
12
00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:41.160
What I tend to see is that the amateurs who struggle with this area tend to be
13
00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:42.000
too short.
14
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.210
I have seen a couple who will tend to take it a little bit too far but most of
15
00:00:46.210 --> 00:00:46.840
the time
16
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:52.420
these golfers will bring it back to about here and then try to really create
17
00:00:52.420 --> 00:00:53.600
speed and have
18
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.960
kind of a big wild acceleration on the way through.
19
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:03.210
In order to have more of a consistent acceleration on the way through, most Tor
20
00:01:03.210 --> 00:01:05.040
p golfers for this
21
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:09.550
30 yard shot are going to bring their hands to about belly button height or the
22
00:01:09.550 --> 00:01:10.840
shaft somewhere
23
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:16.120
kind of in this zone here somewhere around shaft about 45.
24
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:20.810
That tends to give you enough speed to hit a 30 yard shot without having a
25
00:01:20.810 --> 00:01:22.680
massive acceleration.
26
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:27.860
So by being able to swing a little bit more in rhythm or feeling like you're
27
00:01:27.860 --> 00:01:28.640
swinging
28
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:32.870
at kind of a more constant speed you'll probably have a better chance of
29
00:01:32.870 --> 00:01:35.240
controlling your distance
30
00:01:35.240 --> 00:01:38.460
for these 30 yard shots because you won't have to manage how fast you're going
31
00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:39.200
to accelerate.
32
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:43.960
You can just accelerate smoothly all the way through the shot.
33
00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:48.780
So with the finesse wedges I like to have a couple different swings just like
34
00:01:48.780 --> 00:01:49.320
we do in
35
00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:53.510
the distance wedge so I'll have a lot of golfers do one where they bring it
36
00:01:53.510 --> 00:01:54.440
back to about
37
00:01:54.440 --> 00:01:58.500
the club head at about knee height kind of right there and then one to about
38
00:01:58.500 --> 00:01:59.200
hip height
39
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:04.270
and then that 30 yard shot at the hands coming to about belly button height and
40
00:02:04.270 --> 00:02:04.880
as if you
41
00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:10.270
only had one reference other than your little green side chip shot I would like
42
00:02:10.270 --> 00:02:10.920
to build
43
00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:15.690
that 30 yard reference because I think that you can always feel like you swing
44
00:02:15.690 --> 00:02:16.280
a little
45
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:22.370
shorter or a little harder and once you get to about 50 yards 60 yards usually
46
00:02:22.370 --> 00:02:23.040
it feels
47
00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:26.160
close enough to a mini full swing that it's no longer a problem.
48
00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:29.790
It's really for that kind of nebulous 30 40 yard shot that a lot of golfers
49
00:02:29.790 --> 00:02:30.800
struggle with
50
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.220
and I find that if you build a reference about how far back you're going to
51
00:02:34.220 --> 00:02:34.800
take keeping
52
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:39.120
your tempo consistency it really helps with dialing in your distance.
53
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:44.790
Okay so that 30 yard distance taking it back to about belly button height kind
54
00:02:44.790 --> 00:02:45.640
of like that
55
00:02:45.640 --> 00:02:51.410
and then just having a relatively smooth acceleration on the way through the
56
00:02:51.410 --> 00:02:52.320
two if you're looking
57
00:02:52.320 --> 00:02:56.940
at yourself on video I'd recommend doing this one from a face on camera and
58
00:02:56.940 --> 00:02:57.680
what I want
59
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:01.800
you to look for is if you're doing if it's kind of a short shot and then you're
60
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:02.400
trying
61
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.910
to speed it up you'll see I did that with a lot of leg or arm action or
62
00:03:06.910 --> 00:03:08.000
occasionally
63
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.640
for golfers you get really steep they'll on this 30 yard shot pick it up and
64
00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:13.280
almost do
65
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:18.680
like a full swing and then try to really flip it on the way down.
66
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:23.860
So if you're going to have more of a smooth consistent tempo than as a
67
00:03:23.860 --> 00:03:25.680
reference I'd recommend
68
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:31.450
this kind of this checkpoint here of the club at about a 40 degree angle 45
69
00:03:31.450 --> 00:03:32.760
degree angle
70
00:03:32.760 --> 00:03:44.240
with the hands at about belly button height a little higher launch but good
71
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:45.400
distance.
72
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:51.320
Last little point this can be a great distance to coordinate with your tempo of
73
00:03:51.320 --> 00:03:52.040
a one two
74
00:03:52.040 --> 00:03:56.980
kind of smooth acceleration rate on the way through and then training yourself
75
00:03:56.980 --> 00:03:58.360
to just
76
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.700
keep the tempo the same and just adjust your distance to hit it a little
77
00:04:01.700 --> 00:04:02.680
further or a little
78
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.020
shorter.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.840
This wedge video is 30 yard reference so I have a number of students who
2
00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:08.440

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.840
This wedge video is 30 yard reference so I have a number of students who
2
00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:08.440
struggle with
3
00:00:08.440 --> 00:00:13.220
kind of that 30/40 yard shot and one thing that I found has helped a lot of
4
00:00:13.220 --> 00:00:14.000
golfers is
5
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:19.280
having some idea of a reference of about how big of a swing you should take.
6
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:24.900
So we'll go through, we'll look at a bunch of or a handful of Torpo 3D files
7
00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:25.400
and what
8
00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:29.790
you'll see is that there's kind of this zone where most of these Torpo's have
9
00:00:29.790 --> 00:00:30.480
figured out
10
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:35.100
they need to take their backswing back to about this far in order to hit it 30
11
00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:35.760
yards.
12
00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:41.160
What I tend to see is that the amateurs who struggle with this area tend to be

00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:42.000
too short.
14
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.210
I have seen a couple who will tend to take it a little bit too far but most of
15
00:00:46.210 --> 00:00:46.840
the time
16
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:52.420
these golfers will bring it back to about here and then try to really create
17
00:00:52.420 --> 00:00:53.600
speed and have
18
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.960
kind of a big wild acceleration on the way through.
19
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:03.210
In order to have more of a consistent acceleration on the way through, most Tor
20
00:01:03.210 --> 00:01:05.040
p golfers for this
21
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:09.550
30 yard shot are going to bring their hands to about belly button height or the
22
00:01:09.550 --> 00:01:10.840
shaft somewhere
23
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:16.120
kind of in this zone here somewhere around shaft about 45.
24
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:20.810
That tends to give you enough speed to hit a 30 yard shot without having a
25
00:01:20.810 --> 00:01:22.680
massive acceleration.
26
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:27.860
So by being able to swing a little bit more in rhythm or feeling like you're
27
00:01:27.860 --> 00:01:28.640
swinging
28
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:32.870
at kind of a more constant speed you'll probably have a better chance of
29
00:01:32.870 --> 00:01:35.240
controlling your distance
30
00:01:35.240 --> 00:01:38.460
for these 30 yard shots because you won't have to manage how fast you're going
31
00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:39.200
to accelerate.
32
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:43.960
You can just accelerate smoothly all the way through the shot.
33
00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:48.780
So with the finesse wedges I like to have a couple different swings just like
34
00:01:48.780 --> 00:01:49.320
we do in
35
00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:53.510
the distance wedge so I'll have a lot of golfers do one where they bring it
36
00:01:53.510 --> 00:01:54.440
back to about
37
00:01:54.440 --> 00:01:58.500
the club head at about knee height kind of right there and then one to about
38
00:01:58.500 --> 00:01:59.200
hip height
39
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:04.270
and then that 30 yard shot at the hands coming to about belly button height and
40
00:02:04.270 --> 00:02:04.880
as if you
41
00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:10.270
only had one reference other than your little green side chip shot I would like
42
00:02:10.270 --> 00:02:10.920
to build
43
00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:15.690
that 30 yard reference because I think that you can always feel like you swing
44
00:02:15.690 --> 00:02:16.280
a little
45
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:22.370
shorter or a little harder and once you get to about 50 yards 60 yards usually
46
00:02:22.370 --> 00:02:23.040
it feels
47
00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:26.160
close enough to a mini full swing that it's no longer a problem.
48
00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:29.790
It's really for that kind of nebulous 30 40 yard shot that a lot of golfers
49
00:02:29.790 --> 00:02:30.800
struggle with
50
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.220
and I find that if you build a reference about how far back you're going to
51
00:02:34.220 --> 00:02:34.800
take keeping
52
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:39.120
your tempo consistency it really helps with dialing in your distance.
53
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:44.790
Okay so that 30 yard distance taking it back to about belly button height kind
54
00:02:44.790 --> 00:02:45.640
of like that
55
00:02:45.640 --> 00:02:51.410
and then just having a relatively smooth acceleration on the way through the
56
00:02:51.410 --> 00:02:52.320
two if you're looking
57
00:02:52.320 --> 00:02:56.940
at yourself on video I'd recommend doing this one from a face on camera and
58
00:02:56.940 --> 00:02:57.680
what I want
59
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:01.800
you to look for is if you're doing if it's kind of a short shot and then you're
60
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:02.400
trying
61
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.910
to speed it up you'll see I did that with a lot of leg or arm action or
62
00:03:06.910 --> 00:03:08.000
occasionally
63
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.640
for golfers you get really steep they'll on this 30 yard shot pick it up and
64
00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:13.280
almost do
65
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:18.680
like a full swing and then try to really flip it on the way down.
66
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:23.860
So if you're going to have more of a smooth consistent tempo than as a
67
00:03:23.860 --> 00:03:25.680
reference I'd recommend
68
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:31.450
this kind of this checkpoint here of the club at about a 40 degree angle 45
69
00:03:31.450 --> 00:03:32.760
degree angle
70
00:03:32.760 --> 00:03:44.240
with the hands at about belly button height a little higher launch but good
71
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:45.400
distance.
72
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:51.320
Last little point this can be a great distance to coordinate with your tempo of
73
00:03:51.320 --> 00:03:52.040
a one two
74
00:03:52.040 --> 00:03:56.980
kind of smooth acceleration rate on the way through and then training yourself
75
00:03:56.980 --> 00:03:58.360
to just
76
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.700
keep the tempo the same and just adjust your distance to hit it a little
77
00:04:01.700 --> 00:04:02.680
further or a little
78
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.020
shorter.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.840
This wedge video is 30 yard reference so I have a number of students who
2
00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:08.440
struggle with
3
00:00:08.440 --> 00:00:13.220
kind of that 30/40 yard shot and one thing that I found has helped a lot of
4
00:00:13.220 --> 00:00:14.000
golfers is
5
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:19.280
having some idea of a reference of about how big of a swing you should take.
6
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:24.900
So we'll go through, we'll look at a bunch of or a handful of Torpo 3D files
7
00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:25.400
and what
8
00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:29.790
you'll see is that there's kind of this zone where most of these Torpo's have
9
00:00:29.790 --> 00:00:30.480
figured out
10
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:35.100
they need to take their backswing back to about this far in order to hit it 30
11
00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:35.760
yards.
12
00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:41.160
What I tend to see is that the amateurs who struggle with this area tend to be
13
00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:42.000
too short.
14
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.210
I have seen a couple who will tend to take it a little bit too far but most of
15
00:00:46.210 --> 00:00:46.840
the time
16
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:52.420
these golfers will bring it back to about here and then try to really create
17
00:00:52.420 --> 00:00:53.600
speed and have
18
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.960
kind of a big wild acceleration on the way through.
19
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:03.210
In order to have more of a consistent acceleration on the way through, most Tor
20
00:01:03.210 --> 00:01:05.040
p golfers for this
21
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:09.550
30 yard shot are going to bring their hands to about belly button height or the
22
00:01:09.550 --> 00:01:10.840
shaft somewhere
23
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:16.120
kind of in this zone here somewhere around shaft about 45.
24
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:20.810
That tends to give you enough speed to hit a 30 yard shot without having a
25
00:01:20.810 --> 00:01:22.680
massive acceleration.
26
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:27.860
So by being able to swing a little bit more in rhythm or feeling like you're
27
00:01:27.860 --> 00:01:28.640
swinging
28
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:32.870
at kind of a more constant speed you'll probably have a better chance of
29
00:01:32.870 --> 00:01:35.240
controlling your distance
30
00:01:35.240 --> 00:01:38.460
for these 30 yard shots because you won't have to manage how fast you're going
31
00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:39.200
to accelerate.
32
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:43.960
You can just accelerate smoothly all the way through the shot.
33
00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:48.780
