This concept video is training your catchup speed.

1
00:00:08.235 --> 00:00:10.735
Um, so one of the global concepts that,

2
00:00:10.765 --> 00:00:14.095
that people talk about all the time is looking at sequencing

3
00:00:14.115 --> 00:00:16.335
and trying to get out of kind of a stall flip pattern,

4
00:00:16.335 --> 00:00:17.455
especially for better players.

5
00:00:17.875 --> 00:00:20.975
Um, so one of, uh, the discussions that I had with,

6
00:00:21.045 --> 00:00:23.095
with Gee, he, um, used the phrase

7
00:00:23.095 --> 00:00:25.855
that I really liked called catch up speed, um,

8
00:00:26.145 --> 00:00:29.055
which is basically if you pre-stretch something

9
00:00:29.055 --> 00:00:31.175
before you fire it, it's going to move faster.

10
00:00:31.475 --> 00:00:33.735
Um, and in the context of the golf swing, it's going

11
00:00:33.735 --> 00:00:35.215
to move faster and later.

12
00:00:35.775 --> 00:00:38.455
A lot of good players describe when they're swinging really

13
00:00:38.455 --> 00:00:39.735
well, that it feels like there's lots

14
00:00:39.735 --> 00:00:42.815
of speed at the bottom, but it's kind of slow in transition.

15
00:00:43.325 --> 00:00:47.175
That is the experience of more of this catch up speed

16
00:00:47.195 --> 00:00:49.975
or basically these pre stretches before activation.

17
00:00:50.435 --> 00:00:53.215
Um, one little kind of exercise that I'll do is if you were

18
00:00:53.215 --> 00:00:55.375
to put your, uh, the club across your shoulders

19
00:00:55.595 --> 00:00:57.935
and you were to actively rotate.

20
00:00:57.935 --> 00:00:59.255
So if I got up to the top of the swing

21
00:00:59.255 --> 00:01:02.135
and I just actively rotate my shoulders, you'll see

22
00:01:02.135 --> 00:01:04.335
that I'm able to create a certain amount of force

23
00:01:04.395 --> 00:01:05.535
and a certain amount of speed.

24
00:01:05.955 --> 00:01:09.295
Um, but you'll see that when I do this, I kind of

25
00:01:10.315 --> 00:01:12.735
max out the speed early and then it's almost slowing down.

26
00:01:13.125 --> 00:01:15.615
Even if I try to do it really late,

27
00:01:15.715 --> 00:01:17.295
it still has this feeling of kind

28
00:01:17.295 --> 00:01:18.735
of being a little bit more slow

29
00:01:18.735 --> 00:01:19.935
down through the bottom of the swing.

30
00:01:20.515 --> 00:01:22.735
Now, catch up speed would basically be, instead

31
00:01:22.735 --> 00:01:25.895
of actively going this way first I'm gonna do a little

32
00:01:25.915 --> 00:01:27.055
bit of a pre-stretch.

33
00:01:27.055 --> 00:01:30.175
So I'm going to, um, rotate my shoulders

34
00:01:30.175 --> 00:01:33.655
and my upper body that way as my lower body is going

35
00:01:33.655 --> 00:01:35.495
that way, now I've gotta stretch

36
00:01:35.555 --> 00:01:38.095
and now I'm gonna time releasing that stretch

37
00:01:38.325 --> 00:01:39.775
with the pushing of the lower body.

38
00:01:39.995 --> 00:01:42.695
So if I do it that way, now

39
00:01:42.695 --> 00:01:46.175
what it feels like is it feels like the upper body is kind

40
00:01:46.175 --> 00:01:48.535
of catching up or, or being flung

41
00:01:48.535 --> 00:01:51.735
through impact rather than like muscularly

42
00:01:52.295 --> 00:01:53.495
actively hitting at it.

43
00:01:54.115 --> 00:01:56.535
And I think that, um, is one of the experiences

44
00:01:56.675 --> 00:01:59.455
of having effortless speed swinging easy.

45
00:01:59.885 --> 00:02:01.135
It's a sign that I kind

46
00:02:01.135 --> 00:02:02.935
of created this stretch on the way down,

47
00:02:02.995 --> 00:02:05.775
and then I got this catch up speed, um, on the way through.

48
00:02:06.075 --> 00:02:07.735
So I think that the big key

49
00:02:07.755 --> 00:02:10.015
to the catch up speed is the alignment of the shoulders.

50
00:02:10.015 --> 00:02:13.095
So I have the, the test where I help you feel, um,

51
00:02:13.365 --> 00:02:15.495
your shoulders or your chest pointing

52
00:02:15.495 --> 00:02:16.695
more behind the golf ball.

53
00:02:16.915 --> 00:02:20.695
Um, that is basically getting your shoulders into this, uh,

54
00:02:20.965 --> 00:02:24.055
kind of rightward rotation where it's pointing this way

55
00:02:24.115 --> 00:02:25.775
as my lower body is pointing that way.

56
00:02:26.155 --> 00:02:30.415
Um, so my spine has basically been twisted like this.

57
00:02:30.715 --> 00:02:34.215
So then the upper body can catch up through impact.

58
00:02:34.485 --> 00:02:36.895
When you do that, you'll have a, a sense of,

59
00:02:37.315 --> 00:02:38.815
um, swinging through the ball.

60
00:02:38.815 --> 00:02:42.055
You'll have a sense of a lack of stall and flip.

61
00:02:42.195 --> 00:02:43.815
Um, it feels easier, um,

62
00:02:43.875 --> 00:02:45.855
and potentially it allows you to get a feeling

63
00:02:45.855 --> 00:02:48.775
of more shaft lean, more compression, lots of good things.

64
00:02:49.315 --> 00:02:50.615
So we have a bunch of drills,

65
00:02:50.615 --> 00:02:53.255
but if you're training that catch up speed, I like

66
00:02:53.255 --> 00:02:56.495
to do it in kind of a transition or almost like a delivery

67
00:02:56.515 --> 00:02:59.205
and go, um, where I'm gonna get up to the top

68
00:02:59.385 --> 00:03:02.085
and then I'm going to get into this, uh, position here

69
00:03:02.085 --> 00:03:03.925
where I'm feeling like my chest

70
00:03:03.945 --> 00:03:05.565
or shoulders are pointing back there.

71
00:03:05.905 --> 00:03:07.485
Um, but my lower body is turned,

72
00:03:07.505 --> 00:03:09.925
but my legs are still kind of loaded

73
00:03:10.065 --> 00:03:13.765
or bent so that I'm in a position.

74
00:03:13.765 --> 00:03:17.085
Now, if I was to pump it, there's kind of that max stretch,

75
00:03:17.425 --> 00:03:19.245
and then I would feel the catchup speed

76
00:03:19.245 --> 00:03:20.485
kind of bringing me through.

77
00:03:21.345 --> 00:03:23.245
So it would look, I'm gonna get up there,

78
00:03:23.665 --> 00:03:26.285
get into this position, little pump,

79
00:03:26.385 --> 00:03:30.205
and then feel that, uh, catchup move or catchup speed

80
00:03:30.225 --> 00:03:32.085
or, uh, closing, uh,

81
00:03:32.085 --> 00:03:34.445
to hit the ball rather than if I was gonna get there.

82
00:03:34.705 --> 00:03:38.325
And then just actively fire the upper body.

83
00:03:38.385 --> 00:03:41.045
You can see that it takes me into a very different finished

84
00:03:41.365 --> 00:03:44.045
position, um, and it has a totally different kind

85
00:03:44.045 --> 00:03:45.325
of muscular feel.

86
00:03:45.805 --> 00:03:46.805
I didn't like that last one.

87
00:03:47.145 --> 00:03:49.565
So let's reset and do a good one.

88
00:03:49.705 --> 00:03:51.325
So now we're gonna get into this position.

89
00:03:52.495 --> 00:03:54.085
We're gonna feel that kind

90
00:03:54.085 --> 00:03:55.845
of catch up speed on the way through.

91
00:03:56.065 --> 00:03:59.525
Now the goal is to do it a little bit more, uh, dynamically,

92
00:03:59.545 --> 00:04:02.005
and this is where the real magic is gonna happen, um,

93
00:04:02.005 --> 00:04:04.525
because most of you are gonna feel like you're gonna have to

94
00:04:05.305 --> 00:04:07.565
soften things in order to create this stretch.

95
00:04:07.625 --> 00:04:11.045
If you try to create this stretch too, dy uh, too violently,

96
00:04:11.075 --> 00:04:14.445
like if I try to actively try to just

97
00:04:15.235 --> 00:04:18.525
pull hard into that two-way stretch, I'm gonna, uh,

98
00:04:18.525 --> 00:04:21.245
basically blow through the ability to catch up.

99
00:04:21.305 --> 00:04:22.365
I'm gonna create too much tension,

100
00:04:22.745 --> 00:04:25.405
and ultimately it's gonna mess up my sequencing even worse.

101
00:04:25.705 --> 00:04:27.965
So this will force you to feel a little bit more

102
00:04:28.515 --> 00:04:31.245
soft in transition, which tends to feel more body driven

103
00:04:31.305 --> 00:04:32.765
and tends to feel a little bit slower.

104
00:04:33.385 --> 00:04:35.405
So dynamically we're gonna get up

105
00:04:37.905 --> 00:04:40.885
and we're feeling like during

106
00:04:40.885 --> 00:04:43.445
that transition they're going in opposite di directions.

107
00:04:43.465 --> 00:04:46.405
And then during, uh, the release, we're feeling the body

108
00:04:46.935 --> 00:04:50.125
catch up to create the speed rather than actively hit it.
