00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.880
This concept video is arms wipe, not the club head.
2
00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:09.360
So I often see golfers trying to work on their low point and work on their wipe
3
00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:11.120
move, have
4
00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:16.230
kind of some circuits crossed, I like to call it, where basically they're stuck
5
00:00:16.230 --> 00:00:16.760
trying
6
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.640
to do it with one part of their body and that of another.
7
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:23.860
Specifically, what will happen is a lot of golfers who have more of this cast
8
00:00:23.860 --> 00:00:24.400
pattern
9
00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:29.680
or early release where the club is getting dumped back here, well, you can see
10
00:00:29.680 --> 00:00:30.320
the arms
11
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:34.830
are more behind my body and when we'll start working on the wipe, initially
12
00:00:34.830 --> 00:00:35.320
they'll just
13
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:39.310
try and throw down at the bottom, they'll try to throw the club head past their
14
00:00:39.310 --> 00:00:39.640
body
15
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:40.640
faster.
16
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:46.100
Well, one way to think of low point or the wide point is looking at kind of the
17
00:00:46.100 --> 00:00:47.240
relationship
18
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:49.240
of the club head to the chest.
19
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:54.360
And so in a more of a cast pattern, I'm going to get the club out in front of
20
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:55.960
my chest sooner.
21
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:00.930
If I use more of a wipe down at the bottom, my arms are working across kind of
22
00:01:00.930 --> 00:01:01.600
past the
23
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:05.810
chest and the club is staying behind my chest longer, then I'm making contact
24
00:01:05.810 --> 00:01:06.560
still behind
25
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:11.600
my chest and it's not catching up with the chest until after impact.
26
00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:17.080
So when you're working on the wipe movement, you want to make sure that your
27
00:01:17.080 --> 00:01:18.120
arms are doing
28
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.190
the wipe, that you're not just trying to throw the club head past your body
29
00:01:22.190 --> 00:01:23.000
because that
30
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.840
will only cause you to hit fat shots a little faster.
31
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.720
So it doesn't really change the impact pattern.
32
00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:36.920
One way that I'll kind of tie things together is when you throw the club head
33
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:39.000
past your body,
34
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:44.720
that's more my arms are throwing the club head that way and my body is almost
35
00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:45.440
staying
36
00:01:45.440 --> 00:01:47.440
behind or facing that way.
37
00:01:47.440 --> 00:01:52.000
So my body, which has a big impact on the low point, is staying behind.
38
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:57.090
Instead, if my arms do a little bit more wipe and my body comes through, my
39
00:01:57.090 --> 00:01:57.680
body is
40
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:02.020
going and bringing the club through and my arms are almost releasing the club
41
00:02:02.020 --> 00:02:02.440
with a
42
00:02:02.440 --> 00:02:07.840
little older deviation and leaving the club head back behind.
43
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.120
So you have two kind of different patterns.
44
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.980
You have the club head going past my body and my body staying back or the club
45
00:02:14.980 --> 00:02:15.760
head staying
46
00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:18.620
back and my body bringing it forward.
47
00:02:18.620 --> 00:02:22.920
For better low point control, it's much more preferred to have the club head
48
00:02:22.920 --> 00:02:24.080
stay back compared
49
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.880
to your body and the body rotation to bring it forward.
50
00:02:27.880 --> 00:02:33.320
And if you have a lot of energy in your hands going towards the target down at
51
00:02:33.320 --> 00:02:34.040
impact or
52
00:02:34.040 --> 00:02:39.030
down at the bottom kind of like this, then it's very hard to build that pattern
53
00:02:39.030 --> 00:02:39.320
.
54
00:02:39.320 --> 00:02:43.910
So when we're working on this wipe, we're going to try and leave the club head
55
00:02:43.910 --> 00:02:45.080
back here
56
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:49.920
by this title as bag and use my body to bring the club through.
57
00:02:49.920 --> 00:03:00.280
It'll look something more like that as opposed to if I was to do the opposite.
58
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:07.100
If I was to stop my body and then try and throw the club head past, you'll see
59
00:03:07.100 --> 00:03:08.120
that because
60
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:12.600
of the width of the swing and the club head catching up with my chest too soon,
61
00:03:12.600 --> 00:03:13.080
I ended
62
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.280
up hitting it a few inches fat.
63
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:19.010
That's what ultimately happens when a lot of golfers start trying to do the
64
00:03:19.010 --> 00:03:19.520
wipe.
65
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:23.160
They're just trying to move the club head and not really moving the handle end.
66
00:03:23.160 --> 00:03:28.020
If you are working on the wipe, one positive sign that you're doing it better
67
00:03:28.020 --> 00:03:28.640
is that you
68
00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:32.760
should hit a lot more thin shots rather than fat shots.
69
00:03:32.760 --> 00:03:36.290
So if you find that when you're working on the wipe, you're hitting a lot of
70
00:03:36.290 --> 00:03:36.920
fat shots,
71
00:03:36.920 --> 00:03:41.200
I'd highly recommend looking at video or filming yourself so that you can see
72
00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:41.760
why you
73
00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:44.640
might be hitting it fat because there's a good chance you're misinterpreting
74
00:03:44.640 --> 00:03:45.000
how to
75
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.330
do the wipe and you're actually just trying to throw the club head further
76
00:03:48.330 --> 00:03:49.160
forward instead
77
00:03:49.160 --> 00:03:53.240
of using the body and the arms to get the grip further forward at impact.

So I often see golfers trying to work on their low point and work on their wipe

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:11.120

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:46.100
Well, one way to think of low point or the wide point is looking at kind of the
17
00:00:46.100 --> 00:00:47.240
relationship
18
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:49.240
of the club head to the chest.
19
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:54.360
And so in a more of a cast pattern, I'm going to get the club out in front of
20
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:55.960
my chest sooner.
21
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:00.930
If I use more of a wipe down at the bottom, my arms are working across kind of
22
00:01:00.930 --> 00:01:01.600
past the
23
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:05.810
chest and the club is staying behind my chest longer, then I'm making contact
24
00:01:05.810 --> 00:01:06.560
still behind
25
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:11.600
my chest and it's not catching up with the chest until after impact.
26
00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:17.080
So when you're working on the wipe movement, you want to make sure that your
27
00:01:17.080 --> 00:01:18.120
arms are doing
28
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.190
the wipe, that you're not just trying to throw the club head past your body
29
00:01:22.190 --> 00:01:23.000
because that
30
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.840
will only cause you to hit fat shots a little faster.
31
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.720
So it doesn't really change the impact pattern.
32
00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:36.920
One way that I'll kind of tie things together is when you throw the club head
33
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:39.000
past your body,
34
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:44.720
that's more my arms are throwing the club head that way and my body is almost
35
00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:45.440
staying
36
00:01:45.440 --> 00:01:47.440
behind or facing that way.
37
00:01:47.440 --> 00:01:52.000
So my body, which has a big impact on the low point, is staying behind.
38
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:57.090
Instead, if my arms do a little bit more wipe and my body comes through, my
39
00:01:57.090 --> 00:01:57.680
body is
40
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:02.020
going and bringing the club through and my arms are almost releasing the club
41
00:02:02.020 --> 00:02:02.440
with a
42
00:02:02.440 --> 00:02:07.840
little older deviation and leaving the club head back behind.
43
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.120
So you have two kind of different patterns.
44
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.980
You have the club head going past my body and my body staying back or the club
45
00:02:14.980 --> 00:02:15.760
head staying
46
00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:18.620
back and my body bringing it forward.
47
00:02:18.620 --> 00:02:22.920
For better low point control, it's much more preferred to have the club head
48
00:02:22.920 --> 00:02:24.080
stay back compared
49
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.880
to your body and the body rotation to bring it forward.
50
00:02:27.880 --> 00:02:33.320
And if you have a lot of energy in your hands going towards the target down at
51
00:02:33.320 --> 00:02:34.040
impact or
52
00:02:34.040 --> 00:02:39.030
down at the bottom kind of like this, then it's very hard to build that pattern
53
00:02:39.030 --> 00:02:39.320
.
54
00:02:39.320 --> 00:02:43.910
So when we're working on this wipe, we're going to try and leave the club head
55
00:02:43.910 --> 00:02:45.080
back here
56
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:49.920
by this title as bag and use my body to bring the club through.
57
00:02:49.920 --> 00:03:00.280
It'll look something more like that as opposed to if I was to do the opposite.
58
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:07.100
If I was to stop my body and then try and throw the club head past, you'll see
59
00:03:07.100 --> 00:03:08.120
that because
60
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:12.600
of the width of the swing and the club head catching up with my chest too soon,
61
00:03:12.600 --> 00:03:13.080
I ended
62
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.280
up hitting it a few inches fat.
63
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:19.010
That's what ultimately happens when a lot of golfers start trying to do the
64
00:03:19.010 --> 00:03:19.520
wipe.
65
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:23.160
They're just trying to move the club head and not really moving the handle end.
66
00:03:23.160 --> 00:03:28.020
If you are working on the wipe, one positive sign that you're doing it better
67
00:03:28.020 --> 00:03:28.640
is that you
68
00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:32.760
should hit a lot more thin shots rather than fat shots.
69
00:03:32.760 --> 00:03:36.290
So if you find that when you're working on the wipe, you're hitting a lot of
70
00:03:36.290 --> 00:03:36.920
fat shots,
71
00:03:36.920 --> 00:03:41.200
I'd highly recommend looking at video or filming yourself so that you can see
72
00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:41.760
why you
73
00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:44.640
might be hitting it fat because there's a good chance you're misinterpreting
74
00:03:44.640 --> 00:03:45.000
how to
75
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.330
do the wipe and you're actually just trying to throw the club head further
76
00:03:48.330 --> 00:03:49.160
forward instead
77
00:03:49.160 --> 00:03:53.240
of using the body and the arms to get the grip further forward at impact.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.880
This concept video is arms wipe, not the club head.
2
00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:09.360
So I often see golfers trying to work on their low point and work on their wipe
3
00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:11.120
move, have
4
00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:16.230
kind of some circuits crossed, I like to call it, where basically they're stuck
5
00:00:16.230 --> 00:00:16.760
trying
6
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.640
to do it with one part of their body and that of another.
7
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:23.860
Specifically, what will happen is a lot of golfers who have more of this cast
8
00:00:23.860 --> 00:00:24.400
pattern
9
00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:29.680
or early release where the club is getting dumped back here, well, you can see
10
00:00:29.680 --> 00:00:30.320
the arms
11
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:34.830
are more behind my body and when we'll start working on the wipe, initially
12
00:00:34.830 --> 00:00:35.320
they'll just
13
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:39.310
try and throw down at the bottom, they'll try to throw the club head past their
14
00:00:39.310 --> 00:00:39.640
body
15
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:40.640
faster.
16
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:46.100
Well, one way to think of low point or the wide point is looking at kind of the
17
00:00:46.100 --> 00:00:47.240
relationship
18
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:49.240
of the club head to the chest.
19
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:54.360
And so in a more of a cast pattern, I'm going to get the club out in front of
20
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:55.960
my chest sooner.
21
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:00.930
If I use more of a wipe down at the bottom, my arms are working across kind of
22
00:01:00.930 --> 00:01:01.600
past the
23
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:05.810
chest and the club is staying behind my chest longer, then I'm making contact
24
00:01:05.810 --> 00:01:06.560
still behind
25
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:11.600
my chest and it's not catching up with the chest until after impact.
26
00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:17.080
So when you're working on the wipe movement, you want to make sure that your
27
00:01:17.080 --> 00:01:18.120
arms are doing
28
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.190
the wipe, that you're not just trying to throw the club head past your body
29
00:01:22.190 --> 00:01:23.000
because that
30
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.840
will only cause you to hit fat shots a little faster.
31
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.720
So it doesn't really change the impact pattern.
32
00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:36.920
One way that I'll kind of tie things together is when you throw the club head
33
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:39.000

34
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:44.720
that's more my arms are throwing the club head that way and my body is almost
35
00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:45.440
staying
36
00:01:45.440 --> 00:01:47.440
behind or facing that way.
37
00:01:47.440 --> 00:01:52.000
So my body, which has a big impact on the low point, is staying behind.
38
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:57.090

little older deviation and leaving the club head back behind.
43
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.120
