00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.760
- This combo drill is arm-shallowing with left tilt.
2
00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:07.600
Now, oftentimes when you're working on something new,
3
00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:09.320
you're gonna have to combine it
4
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:11.840
with another skill in order for it to work.
5
00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:15.000
What I mean by that is if you're,
6
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.720
let's say you've got a really bad over-the-top swing
7
00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:20.000
and the big scoop down at the bottom
8
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.680
and early extension and standing up,
9
00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:25.600
well, you've got a cluster going on there,
10
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:27.240
but you hit good shots, right?
11
00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:30.440
Occasionally, or maybe not as often as you like,
12
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.760
but throughout the round, throughout practice,
13
00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:34.420
you're gonna hit good shots.
14
00:00:34.420 --> 00:00:36.360
Those good shots come from when your path
15
00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:38.360
is more or less balanced.
16
00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:40.760
Now, the problem is you have these extreme movements
17
00:00:40.760 --> 00:00:43.120
that are trying to balance out the path.
18
00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:45.360
Oftentimes when you change one movement,
19
00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:48.480
it'll really move the path if it was an extreme movement,
20
00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:51.400
and so you'll have to disrupt or change
21
00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:54.360
one of the other movements to get it back to balance.
22
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:56.240
Here's a common example.
23
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:58.960
Many golfers get steep with their arms
24
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.160
and then they slow down their body rotation
25
00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:02.480
and stand up a little bit.
26
00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:06.800
So they pull down kind of like this and stand up
27
00:01:06.800 --> 00:01:09.160
and they struggle with some contact misses,
28
00:01:09.160 --> 00:01:11.720
maybe a right path, maybe a left path,
29
00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:14.680
but they usually struggle with low point control.
30
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:18.280
So oftentimes, we'll work on getting some arm shallowing.
31
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.480
And what'll happen is if I do that same pivot
32
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.680
and I shallow my arms, the first time I try it,
33
00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:29.600
I may top the ball and the reason would be
34
00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:31.840
my body standing up is a big shallower.
35
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.280
My arm shallowing now is a big shallower.
36
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:35.560
I took away the steep.
37
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.120
So now I've no longer balanced out the swing.
38
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.880
Oftentimes, you're gonna have to work on
39
00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:46.680
two things at once in order to totally balance a pattern.
40
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:50.000
Common one is this arm shallowing with left tilt
41
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.640
or transition crunch, basically getting my body
42
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.200
to stay or to reflex and stay facing the golf ball
43
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.600
instead of standing up.
44
00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:01.360
So they're good to work together.
45
00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:03.960
I'm going to work on that arm shallowing movement,
46
00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:06.040
maybe in a pump drill and I'm gonna work
47
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:10.520
on that regaining flexion or getting into that left side
48
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.480
or regaining my posture, however you want to phrase it.
49
00:02:13.480 --> 00:02:15.320
I like to call it the left tilt
50
00:02:15.320 --> 00:02:17.800
because that'll help you from,
51
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:19.680
that'll help you do it more from the rib cage
52
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.960
so that the lower body can still lead the down swing.
53
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:24.840
Oftentimes, I find when golfers just try
54
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:27.280
to regain their flex,
55
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.400
they lose their lower body completely
56
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:33.520
and they just turn into more of a crunch movement,
57
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.280
not really just this increased tilt.
58
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:40.120
Okay, so if I'm gonna try to combo those movements together,
59
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:42.240
let's say I've been practicing them for a little while
60
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.640
so I know what it feels like to do this left tilt.
61
00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:46.880
I know what it feels like to do this arm shallow
62
00:02:46.880 --> 00:02:51.880
and I'm gonna try and combo the two of them together.
63
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.840
Get a little bit of feel, maybe do a pump drill
64
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:59.840
and then give it a go with the golf ball down there.
65
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:04.680
And by working on these two together,
66
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:08.800
it should give me kind of a similar flight
67
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.160
to the stand up as far as amount of curve
68
00:03:12.160 --> 00:03:14.840
but it'll give me different turf contact.
69
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.000
It will give me probably different trajectory.
70
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:18.600
This will be a little bit flatter.
71
00:03:18.600 --> 00:03:20.880
Ultimately, this will be a little bit more consistent.
72
00:03:20.880 --> 00:03:23.000
So if you're struggling with the arm shallowing,
73
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.080
maybe you have to add a little bit of the left tilt
74
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:27.760
or the transition crunch.
75
00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:29.880
If you're struggling with regaining your posture,
76
00:03:29.880 --> 00:03:31.320
maybe your early extending,
77
00:03:31.320 --> 00:03:33.200
you might have to work on arm shallowing.
78
00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:34.840
Those two, go hand in hand.
79
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.600
Frequently, you need to combo the training of them together.

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.760
- This combo drill is arm-shallowing with left tilt.
2
00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:07.600
Now, oftentimes when you're working on something new,
3
00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:09.320
you're gonna have to combine it
4
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:11.840
with another skill in order for it to work.
5
00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:15.000
What I mean by that is if you're,
6
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.720
let's say you've got a really bad over-the-top swing
7
00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:20.000
and the big scoop down at the bottom
8
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.680
and early extension and standing up,
9
00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:25.600
well, you've got a cluster going on there,
10
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:27.240
but you hit good shots, right?
11
00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:30.440
Occasionally, or maybe not as often as you like,
12
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.760
but throughout the round, throughout practice,
13
00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:34.420
you're gonna hit good shots.
14
00:00:34.420 --> 00:00:36.360
Those good shots come from when your path
15
00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:38.360
is more or less balanced.
16
00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:40.760
Now, the problem is you have these extreme movements
17
00:00:40.760 --> 00:00:43.120
that are trying to balance out the path.
18
00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:45.360
Oftentimes when you change one movement,
19
00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:48.480
it'll really move the path if it was an extreme movement,
20
00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:51.400
and so you'll have to disrupt or change
21
00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:54.360
one of the other movements to get it back to balance.
22
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:56.240
Here's a common example.
23
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:58.960
Many golfers get steep with their arms
24
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.160
and then they slow down their body rotation
25
00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:02.480
and stand up a little bit.
26
00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:06.800
So they pull down kind of like this and stand up
27
00:01:06.800 --> 00:01:09.160
and they struggle with some contact misses,
28
00:01:09.160 --> 00:01:11.720
maybe a right path, maybe a left path,
29
00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:14.680
but they usually struggle with low point control.
30
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:18.280
So oftentimes, we'll work on getting some arm shallowing.
31
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.480
And what'll happen is if I do that same pivot
32
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.680
and I shallow my arms, the first time I try it,
33
00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:29.600
I may top the ball and the reason would be
34
00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:31.840
my body standing up is a big shallower.
35
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.280
My arm shallowing now is a big shallower.
36
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:35.560
I took away the steep.
37
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.120
So now I've no longer balanced out the swing.
38
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.880
Oftentimes, you're gonna have to work on
39
00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:46.680
two things at once in order to totally balance a pattern.
40
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:50.000
Common one is this arm shallowing with left tilt
41
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.640
or transition crunch, basically getting my body
42
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.200
to stay or to reflex and stay facing the golf ball
43
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.600
instead of standing up.
44
00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:01.360
So they're good to work together.
45
00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:03.960
I'm going to work on that arm shallowing movement,
46
00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:06.040
maybe in a pump drill and I'm gonna work
47
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:10.520
on that regaining flexion or getting into that left side
48
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.480
or regaining my posture, however you want to phrase it.
49
00:02:13.480 --> 00:02:15.320
I like to call it the left tilt
50
00:02:15.320 --> 00:02:17.800
because that'll help you from,
51
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:19.680
that'll help you do it more from the rib cage
52
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.960
so that the lower body can still lead the down swing.
53
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:24.840
Oftentimes, I find when golfers just try
54
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:27.280
to regain their flex,
55
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.400
they lose their lower body completely
56
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:33.520
and they just turn into more of a crunch movement,
57
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.280
not really just this increased tilt.
58
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:40.120
Okay, so if I'm gonna try to combo those movements together,
59
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:42.240
let's say I've been practicing them for a little while
60
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.640
so I know what it feels like to do this left tilt.
61
00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:46.880
I know what it feels like to do this arm shallow
62
00:02:46.880 --> 00:02:51.880
and I'm gonna try and combo the two of them together.
63
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.840
Get a little bit of feel, maybe do a pump drill
64
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:59.840
and then give it a go with the golf ball down there.
65
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:04.680
And by working on these two together,
66
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:08.800
it should give me kind of a similar flight
67
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.160
to the stand up as far as amount of curve
68
00:03:12.160 --> 00:03:14.840
but it'll give me different turf contact.
69
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.000
It will give me probably different trajectory.
70
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:18.600
This will be a little bit flatter.
71
00:03:18.600 --> 00:03:20.880
Ultimately, this will be a little bit more consistent.
72
00:03:20.880 --> 00:03:23.000
So if you're struggling with the arm shallowing,
73
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.080
maybe you have to add a little bit of the left tilt
74
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:27.760
or the transition crunch.
75
00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:29.880
If you're struggling with regaining your posture,
76
00:03:29.880 --> 00:03:31.320
maybe your early extending,
77
00:03:31.320 --> 00:03:33.200
you might have to work on arm shallowing.
78
00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:34.840
Those two, go hand in hand.
79
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.600
Frequently, you need to combo the training of them together.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.760
- This combo drill is arm-shallowing with left tilt.
2
00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:07.600
Now, oftentimes when you're working on something new,
3
00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:09.320
you're gonna have to combine it
4
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:11.840
with another skill in order for it to work.
5
00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:15.000
What I mean by that is if you're,
6
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.720
let's say you've got a really bad over-the-top swing
7
00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:20.000
and the big scoop down at the bottom
8
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.680
and early extension and standing up,
9
00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:25.600
well, you've got a cluster going on there,
10
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:27.240
but you hit good shots, right?
11
00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:30.440
Occasionally, or maybe not as often as you like,
12
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.760
but throughout the round, throughout practice,
13
00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:34.420
you're gonna hit good shots.
14
00:00:34.420 --> 00:00:36.360
Those good shots come from when your path
15
00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:38.360
is more or less balanced.
16
00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:40.760
Now, the problem is you have these extreme movements
17
00:00:40.760 --> 00:00:43.120

20
00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:51.400
and so you'll have to disrupt or change
21
00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:54.360
one of the other movements to get it back to balance.
22
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:56.240
Here's a common example.
23
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:58.960

00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:02.480
