00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.080
This concept video is connecting the bracing to the finish position.

2
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:14.430
Now early on when I was working on some of my terminology, a lot of students

3
00:00:14.430 --> 00:00:14.680
found it

4
00:00:14.680 --> 00:00:20.320
odd that I referred to this position here as the follow-through position.

5
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:23.800
A lot of people wanted to say, "No, this is the follow-through," and I said, "

6
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:24.040
Well,

7
00:00:24.040 --> 00:00:25.960
that's kind of the finish."

8
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:30.240
So this video, we're going to talk through some of the key reasons why I like

9
00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:31.360
that terminology

10
00:00:31.360 --> 00:00:37.260
and why the follow-through feel to be more that chaff parallel position or P8

11
00:00:37.260 --> 00:00:37.760
in the

12
00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:39.760
P systems.

13
00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:48.000
So I think one of the challenges for a lot of golfers is getting or preventing

14
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:49.000
the shoulders

15
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.920
from spinning too much during the release.

16
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:56.030
And the shoulders spin during the release, that tends to create a steep at the

17
00:00:56.030 --> 00:00:56.520
bottom

18
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:01.200
feel that can be associated with pulls, diggy divots.

19
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.320
It can be accompanied by buckles.

20
00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:09.130
It can be accompanied by more of a staying in your flexion or having a hard

21
00:01:09.130 --> 00:01:10.080
time getting

22
00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:13.240
into good thoracic extension.

23
00:01:13.240 --> 00:01:16.200
It can be more of some arm breakdowns on the way through.

24
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:20.240
It can create a lot of these looks here.

25
00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:29.320
Well, in one perspective, when I get the golf swing being powered more from my

26
00:01:29.320 --> 00:01:30.520
body and getting

27
00:01:30.520 --> 00:01:36.100
more into this negative torsion or getting into this blend of extension with

28
00:01:36.100 --> 00:01:37.280
the rotation,

29
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:41.630
then what happens is I get to this follow-through and then I've gotten into

30
00:01:41.630 --> 00:01:43.000
this follow-through

31
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:44.440
quite aggressively.

32
00:01:44.440 --> 00:01:49.790
So the club has some energy and some momentum that tends to pull me into my

33
00:01:49.790 --> 00:01:51.480
finish position.

34
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:57.630
Rather than a lot of golfers have more of an active movement and an active hit,

35
00:01:57.630 --> 00:01:58.120
kind

36
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:02.870
of like they're aggressively moving through the ball with that right shoulder

37
00:02:02.870 --> 00:02:03.640
and forcing

38
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.920
the club to get into the finish position.

39
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:11.270
So one of my goals is to get more of the energy feeling like it's kind of

40
00:02:11.270 --> 00:02:12.720
getting into this

41
00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:15.480
really good bracing position here.

42
00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:19.780
And because the club head is getting pulled away, that's going to take me

43
00:02:19.780 --> 00:02:20.720
smoothly into

44
00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:21.720
my finish.

45
00:02:21.720 --> 00:02:25.720
I don't like to feel like I'm forcing the finish with my shoulders.

46
00:02:25.720 --> 00:02:31.070
That tends to get, like I said, gets your shoulders spinning a little bit to

47
00:02:31.070 --> 00:02:31.600
level, causes

48
00:02:31.600 --> 00:02:36.360
some arm breakdown, and overall creates a little bit more chaos down at the

49
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:37.120
bottom.

50
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:42.470
So I would say that this is one of the contributing factors to being able to

51
00:02:42.470 --> 00:02:43.520
execute the hit hard

52
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:51.080
stop short drill, where essentially I'm getting into more of a shorter follow-

53
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:52.680
through because

54
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.960
my body is going into this good bracing position.

55
00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:02.660
And all these kind of angles are reaching their maximum there at follow-through

56
00:03:02.660 --> 00:03:03.000
.

57
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:08.400
Now if all I did was instead of kind of holding my hip and my core back, if I

58
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:09.560
let it get pulled

59
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:16.910
from the club, then the only difference between that and that swing there was

60
00:03:16.910 --> 00:03:18.000
kind of letting

61
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:22.080
my body get pulled from the club, not really forcing it on the way through.

62
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:28.110
So if you have a look of kind of that upper body really spinning through, focus

63
00:03:28.110 --> 00:03:28.800
on your

64
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:34.720
bracing position, that can be a combination of either the body position or the

65
00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:36.080
arm action.

66
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:40.250
But the body position arm action getting you into this bracing position is

67
00:03:40.250 --> 00:03:41.160
going to feel

68
00:03:41.160 --> 00:03:46.510
like the end of the swing is more there, and then the finish is just a coasting

69
00:03:46.510 --> 00:03:47.080
or landing

70
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:51.910
the plane kind of a soft movement where the club is pulling me into position,

71
00:03:51.910 --> 00:03:52.720
not an active

72
00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:54.800
movement where I'm getting there dynamically.

73
00:03:54.800 --> 00:04:00.150
So in quick demo, we'll do a little bit more of just a follow-through hold,

74
00:04:00.150 --> 00:04:00.960
kind of more

75
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:08.240
there, a little pull, let's see if we can do that a little better.

76
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.080
That was better right there.

77
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:15.780
And now if I just let my arms get to that position and kind of let my body go

78
00:04:15.780 --> 00:04:18.800
with it,

79
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:25.400
now I start to get the club taking me into the finish rather than my body.
