00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000
This concept video is connecting the hands to the power source in transition.
2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:11.510
So we have a lot of videos in here in transition because transition is really
3
00:00:11.510 --> 00:00:12.680
where all this
4
00:00:12.680 --> 00:00:17.400
intention of the downswing really begins and so a lot of swings break down by
5
00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:17.960
having
6
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:22.720
poor process or poor intentions with this transition.
7
00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:28.760
So this concept video is to help you understand how the wrist motion should be
8
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:29.520
connected to
9
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:34.060
your lower body and happen as a result of this total body motion not just
10
00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:35.000
independent
11
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.280
movements that kind of work together.
12
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:44.380
So basically what we talk about happening in transition is the shaft flattening
13
00:00:44.380 --> 00:00:44.880
and the
14
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:51.000
motorcycle happening so that the clubface can start swearing kind of like this.
15
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:56.410
Well what you'll see is that if you look at the timing of these movements that
16
00:00:56.410 --> 00:00:56.920
lower
17
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:02.970
body initiating because this club has weight and my arms are kind of over here
18
00:01:02.970 --> 00:01:03.640
but they're
19
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:08.200
tied to my shoulders what will happen is when my body starts to pull on my arms
20
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:08.860
because
21
00:01:08.860 --> 00:01:14.220
of the weight of the club if I'm truly leading from my lower body it's going to
22
00:01:14.220 --> 00:01:15.000
cause the
23
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:20.760
shaft to flatten and the wrist to start flexing if you let it.
24
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:26.070
So if I am trying to rotate my body and I'm trying to use the ground it will
25
00:01:26.070 --> 00:01:27.000
cause this
26
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.800
shallow move in the arms.
27
00:01:29.800 --> 00:01:33.520
On the other hand if I get up to the top of the swing and my intention is to
28
00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:34.120
pull down
29
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.920
with my arms and create speed with my arms and with my shoulders then it's
30
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:39.800
going to make
31
00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:45.240
it very difficult for me to do these shallow movements with the arms.
32
00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:50.470
So if you're struggling with getting this piece then focus on kind of the
33
00:01:50.470 --> 00:01:51.560
holistic approach
34
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:56.100
and blending it and connecting it to the lower body and how you're powering
35
00:01:56.100 --> 00:01:57.520
your swing and
36
00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:02.220
then you can feel about feel yourself letting these arm movements that we teach
37
00:02:02.220 --> 00:02:02.680
here in
38
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.400
this transition section happen as opposed to forcing them.
39
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:12.560
Now initially you're probably going to have to force them and so for a few
40
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:13.520
weeks while
41
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:18.590
you're working on forcing these movements what you'll find is your timing will
42
00:02:18.590 --> 00:02:19.080
be a little
43
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:24.120
off and it won't be as good as once it becomes connected into one movement and
44
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:25.160
that's ultimately
45
00:02:25.160 --> 00:02:30.580
your goal is to take these pieces that we discuss here in each section and then
46
00:02:30.580 --> 00:02:31.040
blend
47
00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:35.770
them into one movement so we have a really solid motor pattern that develops
48
00:02:35.770 --> 00:02:36.600
consistent
49
00:02:36.600 --> 00:02:39.400
repeatable power for your golf swing.
50
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:45.450
So if I'm exaggerating and I'm kind of doing that pump or a broken transition I
51
00:02:45.450 --> 00:02:46.040
can kind
52
00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:51.360
of force it by super relaxing and trying to make my arms feel almost like
53
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:52.420
noodles and
54
00:02:52.420 --> 00:02:56.400
as my body is kind of powering this entire swing.
55
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:04.110
So then if I was to execute I can either do it kind of in a piecemeal or I kind
56
00:03:04.110 --> 00:03:04.760
of really
57
00:03:04.760 --> 00:03:09.940
let that kind of exaggerated all the wrist motions happening from my body
58
00:03:09.940 --> 00:03:10.680
happen or
59
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:19.040
I could do it a little bit more at speed kind of like so.
60
00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:22.660
So work on connecting the power source to what the hands are doing and
61
00:03:22.660 --> 00:03:23.480
ultimately that
62
00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:26.320
will build a more solid and repeatable pattern for your golf swing.

00:02:36.600 --> 00:02:39.400
repeatable power for your golf swing.
50
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:45.450
So if I'm exaggerating and I'm kind of doing that pump or a broken transition I
51
00:02:45.450 --> 00:02:46.040
can kind
52
00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:51.360
of force it by super relaxing and trying to make my arms feel almost like
53
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:52.420
noodles and
54
00:02:52.420 --> 00:02:56.400
as my body is kind of powering this entire swing.
55
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:04.110
So then if I was to execute I can either do it kind of in a piecemeal or I kind
56
00:03:04.110 --> 00:03:04.760
of really
57
00:03:04.760 --> 00:03:09.940
let that kind of exaggerated all the wrist motions happening from my body
58
00:03:09.940 --> 00:03:10.680
happen or
59
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:19.040
I could do it a little bit more at speed kind of like so.
60
00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:22.660
So work on connecting the power source to what the hands are doing and
61
00:03:22.660 --> 00:03:23.480
ultimately that
62
00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:26.320
will build a more solid and repeatable pattern for your golf swing.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000
This concept video is connecting the hands to the power source in transition.
2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:11.510
So we have a lot of videos in here in transition because transition is really
3
00:00:11.510 --> 00:00:12.680
where all this
4
00:00:12.680 --> 00:00:17.400
intention of the downswing really begins and so a lot of swings break down by
5
00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:17.960
having
6
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:22.720
poor process or poor intentions with this transition.
7
00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:28.760
So this concept video is to help you understand how the wrist motion should be
8
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:29.520
connected to
9
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:34.060
your lower body and happen as a result of this total body motion not just
10
00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:35.000
independent
11
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.280
movements that kind of work together.
12
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:44.380
So basically what we talk about happening in transition is the shaft flattening
13
00:00:44.380 --> 00:00:44.880
and the
14
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:51.000
motorcycle happening so that the clubface can start swearing kind of like this.
15
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:56.410
Well what you'll see is that if you look at the timing of these movements that
16
00:00:56.410 --> 00:00:56.920
lower
17
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:02.970
body initiating because this club has weight and my arms are kind of over here
18
00:01:02.970 --> 00:01:03.640
but they're
19
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:08.200
tied to my shoulders what will happen is when my body starts to pull on my arms
20
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:08.860
because
21
00:01:08.860 --> 00:01:14.220
of the weight of the club if I'm truly leading from my lower body it's going to
22
00:01:14.220 --> 00:01:15.000
cause the
23
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:20.760
shaft to flatten and the wrist to start flexing if you let it.
24
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:26.070
So if I am trying to rotate my body and I'm trying to use the ground it will
25
00:01:26.070 --> 00:01:27.000
cause this
26
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.800
shallow move in the arms.
27
00:01:29.800 --> 00:01:33.520
On the other hand if I get up to the top of the swing and my intention is to
28
00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:34.120
pull down
29
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.920
with my arms and create speed with my arms and with my shoulders then it's
30
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:39.800
going to make
31
00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:45.240
it very difficult for me to do these shallow movements with the arms.
32
00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:50.470
So if you're struggling with getting this piece then focus on kind of the
33
00:01:50.470 --> 00:01:51.560
holistic approach
34
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:56.100
and blending it and connecting it to the lower body and how you're powering
35
00:01:56.100 --> 00:01:57.520
your swing and
36
00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:02.220
then you can feel about feel yourself letting these arm movements that we teach
37
00:02:02.220 --> 00:02:02.680
here in
38
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.400
this transition section happen as opposed to forcing them.
39
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:12.560
Now initially you're probably going to have to force them and so for a few
40
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:13.520
weeks while
41
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:18.590
you're working on forcing these movements what you'll find is your timing will
42
00:02:18.590 --> 00:02:19.080
be a little
43
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:24.120
off and it won't be as good as once it becomes connected into one movement and
44
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:25.160
that's ultimately
45
00:02:25.160 --> 00:02:30.580
your goal is to take these pieces that we discuss here in each section and then
46
00:02:30.580 --> 00:02:31.040
blend
47
00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:35.770
them into one movement so we have a really solid motor pattern that develops
48
00:02:35.770 --> 00:02:36.600
consistent
49
00:02:36.600 --> 00:02:39.400
repeatable power for your golf swing.
50
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:45.450
So if I'm exaggerating and I'm kind of doing that pump or a broken transition I
51
00:02:45.450 --> 00:02:46.040
can kind
52
00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:51.360
of force it by super relaxing and trying to make my arms feel almost like
53
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:52.420
noodles and
54
00:02:52.420 --> 00:02:56.400
