00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
This video is chipping from down for a while.

2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:10.000
I'm going to apply this concept of how to chip from down for a while.

3
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.000
But in it I'm going to cover how to adjust your stance for any while.

4
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:18.510
Because when you're around the green team you need some creativity in adjusting

5
00:00:18.510 --> 00:00:21.000
your stance to make your own stock.

6
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.000
An escrow edge or an escrow edge.

7
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.000
So what we're going to do is let's show you what we need to do with setup

8
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.000
to match any slope.

9
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:37.000
So here we have a downhill light, probably on an angle about like this.

10
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:42.610
If I were to set up and play my normal stroke, because the ground is on an

11
00:00:42.610 --> 00:00:44.000
angle like this,

12
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.000
my stroke would actually hit the ground before the ball, right?

13
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.000
Because the ground is up here.

14
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:55.830
So what I want to do is I want to take my entire stroke and match it to a slow

15
00:00:55.830 --> 00:00:58.000
little eye of the lamp.

16
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:05.150
So what I frequently see is golfers, when they get this light, they just kind

17
00:01:05.150 --> 00:01:06.000
of lean back,

18
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.000
which makes you feel more balanced.

19
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.930
But you can see that would be like, if here's my normal stroke, if I lean it

20
00:01:12.930 --> 00:01:14.000
back like this,

21
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:18.000
you can see the bottom of the stroke, it's more and more behind the golf ball.

22
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:23.000
What we want to do is actually tilt it forward.

23
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.280
So you've heard, you've probably heard people say you want to match your

24
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.000
shoulders to the slope.

25
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.000
I find that when you do that, you're kind of using forward your spine.

26
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.000
So what I like to think of is matching your pelvis to your slope,

27
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.000
and you're going to use your knees to accomplish that.

28
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:43.000
So here's my spine. I'm basically going to match my pelvis to the slope.

29
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:50.270
If I was putting a pelvis to the slope, that's going to keep my chest in a

30
00:01:50.270 --> 00:01:52.000
similar relationship to the ground.

31
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:57.140
Now, it might feel a little different, and you're going to have to work around

32
00:01:57.140 --> 00:01:58.000
how that feels.

33
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:05.270
But by matching the slope with my pelvis, now I can take my normal and that's

34
00:02:05.270 --> 00:02:07.000
where I stroke,

35
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.000
and get the pull up to the bottom out here.

36
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:16.000
If I was to pretend I was on a level lie and just have the slope normal,

37
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:21.320
I would see if I did my traditional finesse wedge shot or bottom out good foot

38
00:02:21.320 --> 00:02:22.000
behind the golf ball

39
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.000
because of the severity of the slope.

40
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:28.250
So I'm going to have to have a little bit wider stance so that I can shift or

41
00:02:28.250 --> 00:02:30.000
into my left side

42
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.000
and get that almost nice and level.

43
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.710
Now I may have to play around with how much loft I use because this downhill

44
00:02:36.710 --> 00:02:38.000
lie in my body will lead into

45
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:45.130
deep loft stuff. So if I had to get a really short control shot, I might want

46
00:02:45.130 --> 00:02:46.000
to open a club baseboard.

47
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.000
But the general pattern, I'm going to get that pelvis to match.

48
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:56.000
I'm going to test it with my stroke and just make sure it's a little better.

49
00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:00.810
With my pass pattern, make sure that the bottom's out pretty much under golf

50
00:03:00.810 --> 00:03:02.000
ball, and you try to execute.

51
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:11.720
So you'll see it's going to come out a little lower in one, but I can do my

52
00:03:11.720 --> 00:03:14.000
same pass pivot, pass pattern,

53
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:20.330
for this wedge release, and just build it around a slope bit or a pelvis that

54
00:03:20.330 --> 00:03:23.000
is tilted to match the slope.

55
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:28.000
So now, we could say if I was putting away from the camera this way,

56
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:33.470
I would use my legs again to match the slope so I'd probably have a little bit

57
00:03:33.470 --> 00:03:35.000
more downward knee

58
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:40.000
or full flex like this so that my pelvis is following the slope.

59
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:45.000
And then you're going to add some more pattern that way.

60
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.000
So this gives you the creativity of using more you need knees in your pelvis,

61
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.860
keeping your spine pretty much perpendicular to a slope the way that you

62
00:03:53.860 --> 00:03:55.000
normally would.

63
00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:00.430
And then adjusting the loft or the amount of club base to open this to make

64
00:04:00.430 --> 00:04:02.000
sure this is not a shot.

65
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:07.620
We'll frequently see there's downhill, match my pelvis, but then I've got the

66
00:04:07.620 --> 00:04:09.000
pelvis wide open

67
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:14.000
so that I can get a higher shot off of this downhill light.

68
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:18.470
Just my standard finesse swing, trusting the loft of the club, and the low

69
00:04:18.470 --> 00:04:21.000
point control that I've set up with my pelvis.
