00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
This video is 93 tend to two full swing.

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
So this concept video is just a quick reminder of the progressions you want to work

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,000
through when you're practicing on impact or practicing working on solid contact.

00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,000
A lot of golfers just like to try to take full swings and kind of lash at it and go

00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
at one speed.

00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:33,000
There can be some simplicity in that, but it tends to have less carry over or it tends

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
to have less quick improvements compared to if you break it down and take it a little

00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000
bit more in a baby step fashion.

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000
So the prescription I normally give is we're going to work on swings where we're going

00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,000
to do 93 which is bringing you back to about belly button height and then we're going to

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,000
do 10 to 2 which is bringing the hands back to about chest height and then we're going to

00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000
do full swing which is bringing the club up close to parallel or hands up to about shoulder

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
height.

00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:09,000
So you can also work with kind of a slow tempo, medium tempo, full tempo if you really

00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
want to kind of dial it in and give yourself more opportunity.

00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Usually what will happen is if you're struggling with low point control, if you're struggling

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,000
with solid contact, a lot of golfers use effort to try to mask technique.

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:32,000
If you are doing this with pretty good technique then you can do shorter and slower and

00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000
still make solid contact.

00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:43,000
But if you are used to a certain effort, if you're used to swinging hard with your arms

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000
and balancing it out with the body, if you try to shorten it or slow it down it disrupts

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
your timing and you end up making worse contact.

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:57,000
So a sign that you actually have better technique is that you can either slow it down,

00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
shorten it and still get the same contact.

00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Also being able to practice the different length backswings can be useful on the course.

00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Usually the 10 to 2 is more when we're going to hit kind of a flated punch shot.

00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,000
We use that on a lot of the shots inside 100 yards and the 9 to 3 can be really useful

00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
on your punch recovery shots out of the trees because with the shorter swing it will tend

00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,000
to hit it low.

00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
So if you're used to doing that with a 7 iron or 6 iron it won't be too big of a problem

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,000
if you need to hit kind of a low recovery shot that goes about 100 yards out of the

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000
trees.

00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:39,000
So while you're working through these low point drills I highly recommend that you work

00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000
this length of swing progression into your practice.

00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:50,000
So 10 to 2, 9 to 3, full swing, trying to get the same contact or the same kind of low point

00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
look on video.

00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000
That'll help you identify where your sequence is breaking down, where you might be kind

00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,000
of compensating.

00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
It can be a really good diagnostic as well as a really good training tool.

00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,000
So let's say I'm just working on the merry-go-round so I'm working on impact position.

00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Now I'm going to do a 9 to 3 getting into that impact position.

00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Now I'm going to do a reminder of that impact position.

00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Now we're going to do a little bit bigger swing.

00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Pretty close to the same maybe just a tiny bit heavier.

00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000
So perhaps I got a little loss in my backswing or perhaps the longer swing messed up my

00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000
transition.

00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Now we'll go fuller swing.

00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Working on that preset impact fix, merry-go-round up to close to a full swing.

00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000
So you can see the benefit in working on this progression is I could start to identify.

00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Well hey, when I go to the 10 to 2 I start to get in the little bit of trouble.

00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000
That might be the zone that I want to train today.

00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000
So 9 to 3, 10 to 2 full swing.

00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,000
If you get in the habit of doing that either with slow or regular speed that'll help serve

00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,000
as a really good diagnostic tool as to where your swing is getting off as well as a sequencing drill

00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:18,000
to make sure that you're doing all these movements in unison or in rhythm.
