00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.080
This concept video is connecting delivery path to follow-through width.

2
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:14.360
So golfers can struggle with either getting into a good delivery position or

3
00:00:14.360 --> 00:00:14.900
getting into

4
00:00:14.900 --> 00:00:18.160
good width in the follow-through, but the two are actually connected.

5
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:24.280
So what often happens is golfers will fall into one of two different camps.

6
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:31.560
Either they struggle with getting the delivery position to be shallow enough

7
00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:32.720
and connected

8
00:00:32.720 --> 00:00:33.720
or deep.

9
00:00:33.720 --> 00:00:37.650
So they'll tend to kind of get out this way where the hands have gotten more

10
00:00:37.650 --> 00:00:38.360
out towards

11
00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:42.720
the target line, and they've gotten a little bit steeper.

12
00:00:42.720 --> 00:00:44.920
So they've changed pitch as well as they've moved out.

13
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.000
That's typically driven more by shoulder blade movement.

14
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:53.390
Now if the club gets out, kind of like this, then it's going to have more of a

15
00:00:53.390 --> 00:00:54.360
responsive

16
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:58.300
momentum causing the body to want to pull it in.

17
00:00:58.300 --> 00:01:03.570
So that will almost always result in the arms being a little bit more bent or

18
00:01:03.570 --> 00:01:03.760
narrow in

19
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:04.760
the follow-through.

20
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:09.020
Alternatively, if I get into more of a shallow position and if I create depth

21
00:01:09.020 --> 00:01:10.080
without getting

22
00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:14.250
the arms behind me, but keeping that connection and feeling that the shoulder

23
00:01:14.250 --> 00:01:15.000
blades kind

24
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.400
of stay closed or the backspace of the target.

25
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:23.610
If I get that depth, now I have momentum that's going to make my arms want to

26
00:01:23.610 --> 00:01:24.880
or I have a stretch

27
00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:29.010
reflex that's going to help make my arms want to extend more into the follow-

28
00:01:29.010 --> 00:01:29.800
through.

29
00:01:29.800 --> 00:01:39.690
So the kind of classic matchups are either shallow and in to widen out or widen

30
00:01:39.690 --> 00:01:40.040
out

31
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.920
to more in, kind of like that.

32
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.020
So if you're struggling with one area, take a look at the opposite side of the

33
00:01:47.020 --> 00:01:47.720
equation.

34
00:01:47.720 --> 00:01:50.990
If you consistently have a release or follow-through movement where you're

35
00:01:50.990 --> 00:01:52.180
going to be pulling the

36
00:01:52.180 --> 00:01:56.930
arms across kind of this way, if that, if I was a smart brain and I was trying

37
00:01:56.930 --> 00:01:57.960
to compliment

38
00:01:57.960 --> 00:02:03.240
wanting to pull the arms that way, I would get the arms out a little bit early

39
00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:03.680
and get

40
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.860
kind of steep early in transition.

41
00:02:06.860 --> 00:02:12.140
If on the other hand, I was struggling with getting this into a good delivery

42
00:02:12.140 --> 00:02:12.580
position,

43
00:02:12.580 --> 00:02:16.580
I might also look at the follow-through making sure that it's going more out.

44
00:02:16.580 --> 00:02:20.240
So I can either work on the follow-through side or the delivery side, but the

45
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:20.740
goal is

46
00:02:20.740 --> 00:02:26.380
to connect the two so that essentially I'm getting into a more shallow arm but

47
00:02:26.380 --> 00:02:27.300
connected

48
00:02:27.300 --> 00:02:32.160
shoulder blade mid-back position so that then when I go through my release, I

49
00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:33.460
can get into

50
00:02:33.460 --> 00:02:38.700
this wider, kind of more classic arc with a good follow-through position.

51
00:02:38.700 --> 00:02:41.860
So if you're struggling with one, take a look at the other, ideally you're

52
00:02:41.860 --> 00:02:42.340
going to have

53
00:02:42.340 --> 00:02:43.340
to connect both.

54
00:02:43.340 --> 00:02:44.340
Okay, quick demo.

55
00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:45.340
I often demonstrate this.

56
00:02:45.340 --> 00:02:48.650
If the club was straight up and down like this, then the club would slam into

57
00:02:48.650 --> 00:02:49.260
the ground

58
00:02:49.260 --> 00:02:54.430
and be very jarring unless I pull in and up at the right amount at the right

59
00:02:54.430 --> 00:02:54.940
time, but

60
00:02:54.940 --> 00:02:58.820
you can see that that requires some timing and the club passes my hands pretty

61
00:02:58.820 --> 00:02:59.340
quickly

62
00:02:59.340 --> 00:03:00.340
down to the bottom.

63
00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:04.930
Alternatively, if I have the club a little bit flatter, now I can just let the

64
00:03:04.930 --> 00:03:06.420
club extend

65
00:03:06.420 --> 00:03:11.910
and kind of like travel a little bit more naturally away from me and it will

66
00:03:11.910 --> 00:03:12.580
strike the

67
00:03:12.580 --> 00:03:16.820
ground in more of a gentle fashion simply because of the angle.

68
00:03:16.820 --> 00:03:22.820
So when if I'm struggling, if the arms are getting a little bit steep, then you

69
00:03:22.820 --> 00:03:23.420
'll see

70
00:03:23.420 --> 00:03:28.700
that the arms are going to want to pull in, it would be very hard, this might

71
00:03:28.700 --> 00:03:29.220
hurt a little

72
00:03:29.220 --> 00:03:33.690
bit, it would be very hard to be wide like this and then steep, you could hear

73
00:03:33.690 --> 00:03:34.260
and see

74
00:03:34.260 --> 00:03:37.340
how hard that club hits the ground.

75
00:03:37.340 --> 00:03:43.340
So the natural reflexes to then pull in, even if I'm in a deep position like

76
00:03:43.340 --> 00:03:44.220
this, but I'm

77
00:03:44.220 --> 00:03:49.930
steep, the club will still have more of a jarring or kind of clunky bottom of

78
00:03:49.930 --> 00:03:51.060
the swing.

79
00:03:51.060 --> 00:03:55.140
So then the goal is to get the club in a little bit more flat position.

80
00:03:55.140 --> 00:04:01.620
So then it can easily extend and create that some of that flat spot.

81
00:04:01.620 --> 00:04:05.930
Now one of the things to watch out for is it's not just flat but it's also

82
00:04:05.930 --> 00:04:06.740
connected

83
00:04:06.740 --> 00:04:11.960
because if it was flat and outside kind of like this, then I'd be much more

84
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:12.100
likely to

85
00:04:12.100 --> 00:04:14.930
hit it off the hosel and that's what a lot of people do when they first start

86
00:04:14.930 --> 00:04:15.300
trying

87
00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:16.660
to shallow the club.

88
00:04:16.660 --> 00:04:20.450
They don't keep the shoulder blades closed or the back to the target so it mess

89
00:04:20.450 --> 00:04:20.980
es things

90
00:04:20.980 --> 00:04:22.140
up down to the bottom.

91
00:04:22.140 --> 00:04:28.580
So the goal, if you're working on delivery position, is also to pay attention

92
00:04:28.580 --> 00:04:29.140
to your

93
00:04:29.140 --> 00:04:32.820
follow through and the goal if you're working on follow through is to also pay

94
00:04:32.820 --> 00:04:33.480
attention

95
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.060
to the delivery position.

96
00:04:35.060 --> 00:04:39.640
Those two are natural compliments and ideally at some point in your progress

97
00:04:39.640 --> 00:04:40.660
ions you should

98
00:04:40.660 --> 00:04:51.380
work on blending them so that they work together like that.
