00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.930
This drill is club-face calibration in the follow-through position so oft

2
00:00:04.930 --> 00:00:05.480
entimes

3
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:10.760
when we're working on ball flight I will ask offers to feel either closing the

4
00:00:10.760 --> 00:00:16.240
face a little bit earlier or later or smoother but basically I'll ask for some

5
00:00:16.240 --> 00:00:20.340
face stuff and I'll ask them hey at impact where did you feel like the club

6
00:00:20.340 --> 00:00:25.080
face was pointing and oftentimes they're they're unaware of where the club face

7
00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:29.520
would be pointing and the ball may be curving let's say off to the right or it

8
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:35.940
may be kind of diving low left or it may be hooking it on either way I will use

9
00:00:35.940 --> 00:00:42.600
the follow-through position as a better chance for calibrating the club face so

10
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:47.080
basically the way that that would look is instead of having kind of the

11
00:00:47.080 --> 00:00:52.160
alignment stick here and getting to impact position and trying to feel the

12
00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:56.480
difference there because they're unaware of exactly where it might be I'll have

13
00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:00.640
them go to follow-through position kind of right about here and I'll say okay

14
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:05.120
we're gonna we're gonna dial it in at this point we're gonna say this first

15
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:09.200
position is square where it's just short or close to vertical and we're gonna

16
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:09.400
say

17
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:13.720
that position is more closed and we're gonna say that position is open and so

18
00:01:13.720 --> 00:01:18.680
then we're gonna hit some shots and we're going to see okay that was pretty

19
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:23.560
close to square yeah that felt more like it was open and we'll use that

20
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:28.130
follow-through position and doing nine to threes where we can hold and check

21
00:01:28.130 --> 00:01:28.160
and

22
00:01:28.160 --> 00:01:34.080
calibrating our ball flight based on that I tend to see the two patterns that

23
00:01:34.080 --> 00:01:37.320
really need this training are the ones you get really close so hit a lot of

24
00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:41.800
pull hooks so basically the first few times they do it it'll be like this

25
00:01:41.800 --> 00:01:47.400
because they just have a lot of both twisting the club and scooping to let the

26
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:52.680
club pass and it's finishing more like that so for them getting square will

27
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:52.920
feel

28
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:57.280
maybe like more of a hold-off movement the other option is the golfer who has

29
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:02.280
more of a hold-off movement and zero clubface rotation and they're hitting

30
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.840
lots more you know balls that are just curving off to the right for them it

31
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:06.840
will

32
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:11.600
feel a lot more like that supination pattern in order to hit that checkpoint

33
00:02:11.600 --> 00:02:17.400
but using the follow-through position of where the clubface is in space can be

34
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:22.880
a great opportunity for working on your clubface awareness you can also double

35
00:02:22.880 --> 00:02:28.880
it with the path awareness so what'll happen is oftentimes if you're more

36
00:02:28.880 --> 00:02:33.360
twisted like so it will tend to be a little bit higher and out to the right

37
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:39.640
and if you tend to be open I'll use more of a scoop and the club will finish

38
00:02:39.640 --> 00:02:40.080
way

39
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:46.080
low left and in open so finishing where the club is pointing just slightly more

40
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:50.680
in line with the left arm and kind of out towards the target like so and pretty

41
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.560
much straight up and down calibrating that follow-through position can be

42
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.080
incredibly helpful if you're struggling with clubface awareness and clubface

43
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:03.920
control down at impact okay so demoing the clubface and the follow-through I'm

44
00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:08.440
going to use I'll do it towards this face camera so I'm going to use that as

45
00:03:08.440 --> 00:03:14.400
basically my standard and then I'm going to use that as my clothes then that as

46
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:23.360
my open so from down the line I'm just going to baseline so if I turn so that

47
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:29.880
you can see it that's my baseline that's my pretty straight now I'm going to do

48
00:03:29.880 --> 00:03:36.440
one where I hold that more open and I'm just going to compare okay that's what

49
00:03:36.440 --> 00:03:43.360
it felt like with it being more open then I'm going to do one where I get

50
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:51.120
exaggeratingly closed so that was just a little bit more left start line but

51
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:51.200
now

52
00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:56.480
I've kind of got those three different versions calibrated and then I'm going

53
00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:03.600
to hit some L to I shots where I can focus on what it feels like and compare

54
00:04:03.600 --> 00:04:07.680
the follow-through or compare the clubface there in the follow-through so more

55
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:16.080
of an L to I so that felt like it was just slightly open and then I was kind

56
00:04:16.080 --> 00:04:20.760
of closing it more but it was open in that position so I'm going to try to get

57
00:04:20.760 --> 00:04:29.000
it closed a little bit sooner so that felt like it was right on my position

58
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.320
right through there I was able to calibrate where the clubface was there

59
00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:36.640
that'll ultimately help me with my clubface awareness of where I am at impact
