00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.080
this video is discussing the two big causes of the right miss so recently I've
2
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:15.640
had a couple students kind of come in complaining about right misses especially
3
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:20.040
off the tee and before I even look at the video before I look at the swing in
4
00:00:20.040 --> 00:00:20.160
my
5
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:25.720
head there's a there's a checkpoint that I want to look at to see which of the
6
00:00:25.720 --> 00:00:30.720
main causes of the right miss am I struggling with and that checkpoint is
7
00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:35.840
kind of p6 or a little past delivery position or basically club parallel in
8
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:41.110
the downswing the two big things that I want to check for are are the hands
9
00:00:41.110 --> 00:00:41.440
kind
10
00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:47.240
of out far away from the body kind of like this as opposed to being a little
11
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:53.640
bit more deep or are they in a good position and the club face is open at
12
00:00:53.640 --> 00:01:00.160
that point so we'll we'll talk through how the two of those kind of show up the
13
00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:05.640
the first one is a subset of the getting steep early and then trying to shallow
14
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:09.960
it out late so what happens is if it gets out that usually means that my
15
00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:14.240
upper body was dominant or at least my shoulder blades didn't say back they
16
00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:14.360
were
17
00:01:14.360 --> 00:01:18.920
a little bit early that got the club out now if I was to make an appropriate
18
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:19.080
move
19
00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:25.480
I would come a little bit outside in and I would hit a pull so oftentimes what
20
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:30.920
will happen is then the golfer will go into a little early extension the club
21
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:35.520
will work down this way with very little rotation so even if the club face is
22
00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:40.440
good at this point it will come in open and this will be the one where you hit
23
00:01:40.440 --> 00:01:45.440
really big right misses typically this is the one where if you have a lot of
24
00:01:45.440 --> 00:01:52.240
speed you can hit it two fairways over so the the remedy for that is usually
25
00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:56.840
something along the keeping your back to the target or getting the hands deeper
26
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:02.360
this is kind of the the Justin Rose practice drill does a really good job of
27
00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:07.960
helping prevent the steep early shallow late from spinning the shoulders but
28
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:11.800
there's a second category of golfers who have the right miss and that's usually
29
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:20.520
I'm in a pretty good spot here but then on the way through I kind of hold off I
30
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:25.720
tend to be a little bit more stiff with the arms this this pattern often comes
31
00:02:25.720 --> 00:02:31.680
after part of the rehab of a golfer who gets a little bit steep and then they
32
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:35.120
have to stiffen the arms on the way through but now they're in a pretty good
33
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:40.760
position and they're just kind of holding it off a little bit or the wrist or
34
00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:46.720
steep or stiff and so then you get a little bit more tendency towards chicken
35
00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:52.960
wing or shoulder dominance down at the bottom but that stiffness in the in the
36
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:58.840
wrist tends to hold the face open you just get more of kind of like a a soft
37
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:04.440
gentle push where when it gets more of this steep early and then shallow late
38
00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:09.520
you'll see that the club face often goes from what looks like square or even
39
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:17.400
closed to then getting stuck open that has a a flip look and a timing look you
40
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:17.680
'll
41
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:25.000
see if we if we try to mimic that it gets out and then kind of get stuck like
42
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:31.120
that and you'll see that that one not only starts right but then curves right
43
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.520
that's the big big right miss where the first one where I was just a little bit
44
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:45.400
stiff tends to be a little bit more of like a gentle right miss now if I start
45
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:50.480
to get more of a path outside in this can become a pull fade or a pull slice
46
00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:56.400
but if you're a better player and your swing is fairly neutral sometimes you
47
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.720
get stuck in one of these patterns where you you're not feeling it that the
48
00:03:59.720 --> 00:03:59.920
club
49
00:03:59.920 --> 00:04:03.080
base is getting open and you're just hitting these right misses I would check
50
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:06.520
this delivery position or a little past delivery position to see which of the
51
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:12.040
two families you're in if you identify it it's usually not that hard of a fix
52
00:04:12.040 --> 00:04:15.620
you'll be able to fix it with either feeling a little bit more depth or
53
00:04:15.620 --> 00:04:21.600
feeling a little bit more supination or reduced tension kind of feeling like a
54
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.000
little bit more of a release where you're actually letting it go so it's
55
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.800
frustrating when you have a miss that you can't fix if you're struggling with
56
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:31.280
the right miss refer back to this video it'll help you identify why you're
57
00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:38.360
missing it right so then let's get that out of the system and try to hit a
58
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:40.880
little draw

00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:17.400
closed to then getting stuck open that has a a flip look and a timing look you
40
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:17.680
'll
41
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:25.000
see if we if we try to mimic that it gets out and then kind of get stuck like
42
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:31.120
that and you'll see that that one not only starts right but then curves right
43
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.520
that's the big big right miss where the first one where I was just a little bit
44
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:45.400
stiff tends to be a little bit more of like a gentle right miss now if I start
45
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:50.480
to get more of a path outside in this can become a pull fade or a pull slice
46
00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:56.400
but if you're a better player and your swing is fairly neutral sometimes you
47
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.720
get stuck in one of these patterns where you you're not feeling it that the
48
00:03:59.720 --> 00:03:59.920
club
49
00:03:59.920 --> 00:04:03.080
base is getting open and you're just hitting these right misses I would check
50
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:06.520
this delivery position or a little past delivery position to see which of the
51
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:12.040
two families you're in if you identify it it's usually not that hard of a fix
52
00:04:12.040 --> 00:04:15.620
you'll be able to fix it with either feeling a little bit more depth or
53
00:04:15.620 --> 00:04:21.600
feeling a little bit more supination or reduced tension kind of feeling like a
54
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.000
little bit more of a release where you're actually letting it go so it's
55
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.800
frustrating when you have a miss that you can't fix if you're struggling with
56
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:31.280
the right miss refer back to this video it'll help you identify why you're
57
00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:38.360
missing it right so then let's get that out of the system and try to hit a
58
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:40.880
little draw
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.080
this video is discussing the two big causes of the right miss so recently I've
2
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:15.640
had a couple students kind of come in complaining about right misses especially
3
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:20.040
off the tee and before I even look at the video before I look at the swing in
4
00:00:20.040 --> 00:00:20.160
my
5
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:25.720
head there's a there's a checkpoint that I want to look at to see which of the
6
00:00:25.720 --> 00:00:30.720
main causes of the right miss am I struggling with and that checkpoint is
7
00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:35.840
kind of p6 or a little past delivery position or basically club parallel in
8
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:41.110
the downswing the two big things that I want to check for are are the hands
9
00:00:41.110 --> 00:00:41.440
kind
10
00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:47.240
of out far away from the body kind of like this as opposed to being a little
11
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:53.640
bit more deep or are they in a good position and the club face is open at
12
00:00:53.640 --> 00:01:00.160
that point so we'll we'll talk through how the two of those kind of show up the
13
00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:05.640
the first one is a subset of the getting steep early and then trying to shallow
14
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:09.960
it out late so what happens is if it gets out that usually means that my
15
00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:14.240
upper body was dominant or at least my shoulder blades didn't say back they
16
00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:14.360
were
17
00:01:14.360 --> 00:01:18.920
a little bit early that got the club out now if I was to make an appropriate
18
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:19.080
move
19
00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:25.480
I would come a little bit outside in and I would hit a pull so oftentimes what
20
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:30.920
will happen is then the golfer will go into a little early extension the club
21
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:35.520
will work down this way with very little rotation so even if the club face is
22
00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:40.440
good at this point it will come in open and this will be the one where you hit
23
00:01:40.440 --> 00:01:45.440
really big right misses typically this is the one where if you have a lot of
24
00:01:45.440 --> 00:01:52.240
speed you can hit it two fairways over so the the remedy for that is usually
25
00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:56.840
something along the keeping your back to the target or getting the hands deeper
26
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:02.360
this is kind of the the Justin Rose practice drill does a really good job of
27
00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:07.960
helping prevent the steep early shallow late from spinning the shoulders but
28
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:11.800
there's a second category of golfers who have the right miss and that's usually
29
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:20.520
I'm in a pretty good spot here but then on the way through I kind of hold off I
30
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:25.720
tend to be a little bit more stiff with the arms this this pattern often comes
31
00:02:25.720 --> 00:02:31.680
after part of the rehab of a golfer who gets a little bit steep and then they
32
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:35.120
have to stiffen the arms on the way through but now they're in a pretty good
33
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:40.760
position and they're just kind of holding it off a little bit or the wrist or
34
00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:46.720
steep or stiff and so then you get a little bit more tendency towards chicken
35
00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:52.960
wing or shoulder dominance down at the bottom but that stiffness in the in the
36
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:58.840
wrist tends to hold the face open you just get more of kind of like a a soft
37
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:04.440
gentle push where when it gets more of this steep early and then shallow late
38
00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:09.520
you'll see that the club face often goes from what looks like square or even
39
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:17.400
closed to then getting stuck open that has a a flip look and a timing look you
