00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.680
This concept video is discussing the flip spectrum.

2
00:00:08.680 --> 00:00:14.150
So I had a good question come in from one of my coaches about a certain tour

3
00:00:14.150 --> 00:00:14.760
pro and

4
00:00:14.760 --> 00:00:18.880
basically asking does this person have a flip release?

5
00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:22.210
And it got me thinking that there's probably a lot of you out there who kind of

6
00:00:22.210 --> 00:00:22.760
think of

7
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:27.060
it as like black and white, like I either flip or I have a good release or a

8
00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:28.800
tour release.

9
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:36.280
It's really more of a spectrum in terms of getting stability of the clubface

10
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:37.120
and consistency

11
00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:42.960
in the low point that allows us to have more and more repeatability and

12
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:44.480
consistency.

13
00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:49.950
On one extreme would be a flip and if I was to just look at the club we call it

14
00:00:49.950 --> 00:00:50.520
a flip

15
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.560
because essentially the handle is going to flip sides.

16
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:57.360
Right now it's kind of ahead and then it's going to flip behind kind of like

17
00:00:57.360 --> 00:00:57.960
this and

18
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:02.890
you'll see as I do that the arc or the path of the club it goes from high to

19
00:01:02.890 --> 00:01:03.840
low to high.

20
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.320
It's only down there for a split second and then it comes back up and you'll

21
00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:07.840
see that

22
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:13.120
the clubface goes from pointing way over there to pointing there to pointing

23
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:13.880
back that way

24
00:01:13.880 --> 00:01:15.720
very quickly.

25
00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:20.980
On the other extreme would be more of a tour style release where as it's

26
00:01:20.980 --> 00:01:21.960
approaching the

27
00:01:21.960 --> 00:01:26.670
bottom of swing we're getting into some ulnar deviation and we're getting more

28
00:01:26.670 --> 00:01:27.280
of a kind

29
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:32.560
of a fashion tension and consistency of width down here and now as it goes

30
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:33.400
through you'll

31
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:39.160
see that there's less change compared to the clubface and the height of the

32
00:01:39.160 --> 00:01:40.120
club stays

33
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.960
relatively flat or about the height of the ground for a longer period of time.

34
00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:49.880
So a flip you've got rapid change in both the path and the face as well as low

35
00:01:49.880 --> 00:01:51.120
point and

36
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:56.310
the stable release you have less change in the clubface and a wider flat spot

37
00:01:56.310 --> 00:01:56.720
or more

38
00:01:56.720 --> 00:01:59.800
gradual change to both the path and the bottom of the swing.

39
00:01:59.800 --> 00:02:03.800
So our goal is kind of moving in that direction of more stability and

40
00:02:03.800 --> 00:02:04.880
consistency.

41
00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:09.190
And so what we highlight here on the Golsomard Academy in the stock tour swing

42
00:02:09.190 --> 00:02:09.960
program is

43
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:14.440
we highlight the areas that tend to cause the most inconsistency.

44
00:02:14.440 --> 00:02:16.960
Those are typically going to come from the wrists.

45
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:22.120
Those are going to come from the shoulders that's going to come from your spine

46
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:22.880
and pelvis

47
00:02:22.880 --> 00:02:24.820
and they could even come from your feet.

48
00:02:24.820 --> 00:02:27.200
So we kind of look at the big buckets.

49
00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:28.200
What are your arms doing?

50
00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:29.200
What's your core doing?

51
00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:30.200
What are your shoulders doing?

52
00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:31.200
What are your arms doing?

53
00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:34.780
And for a lot of people if you highlight the one or two that's causing them the

54
00:02:34.780 --> 00:02:35.120
most

55
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.920
inconsistency they're ecstatic and they hit the ball way better they still may

56
00:02:38.920 --> 00:02:39.840
have elements

57
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.030
of a flip or more of this inconsistent bottom of the swing but it's good enough

58
00:02:45.030 --> 00:02:45.160
.

59
00:02:45.160 --> 00:02:47.120
So do some Tour Pro's flip?

60
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.740
Yes, especially if you were to break down, you know, some players have more of

61
00:02:50.740 --> 00:02:51.080
a flip

62
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.000
on the right hand but it comes off the club so it's not a big deal and they

63
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:54.520
have more

64
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:56.880
of a stable lead hand.

65
00:02:56.880 --> 00:03:00.000
Some people have more of a flip but they have such good stability in their

66
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:00.520
shoulders

67
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:05.670
that it allows them to get away with it and still have enough consistency that

68
00:03:05.670 --> 00:03:06.000
they're

69
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.840
happy with their contact and ball flip.

70
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.970
So it really depends what you're trying to get out of it and how deep down the

71
00:03:11.970 --> 00:03:12.480
rabbit

72
00:03:12.480 --> 00:03:17.670
hole of searching towards that perfect swing that Mo Norman Tiger Woods,

73
00:03:17.670 --> 00:03:18.200
whoever you want

74
00:03:18.200 --> 00:03:23.670
to name, elite level Scotty Scheffler, elite level ball striker trying to

75
00:03:23.670 --> 00:03:24.640
decode what they

76
00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:28.360
do at the bottom of the swing and how you can incorporate it into your own game

77
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:28.600
.

78
00:03:28.600 --> 00:03:31.970
So the biggest area is if you're looking at your release would be working at

79
00:03:31.970 --> 00:03:32.440
looking

80
00:03:32.440 --> 00:03:37.700
at impact and then looking at follow through and kind of assessing what are the

81
00:03:37.700 --> 00:03:38.200
shoulders

82
00:03:38.200 --> 00:03:43.390
doing, what is the body doing, what's going on with the club, what are the

83
00:03:43.390 --> 00:03:44.240
width, what's

84
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:48.200
the club face like, looking through that window and then you can also work it

85
00:03:48.200 --> 00:03:48.820
back to kind

86
00:03:48.820 --> 00:03:52.920
of delivery position and see where you are here to see if there's anything that

87
00:03:52.920 --> 00:03:53.440
started

88
00:03:53.440 --> 00:03:57.730
to trigger or start the cascade of it breaking down there at the bottom a

89
00:03:57.730 --> 00:03:59.320
little bit earlier.

90
00:03:59.320 --> 00:04:03.140
But if you're really working on kind of delivery position to follow through,

91
00:04:03.140 --> 00:04:05.120
that'll address

92
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:10.850
the majority of your inconsistent contact and ball flight tendencies and then

93
00:04:10.850 --> 00:04:11.320
you might

94
00:04:11.320 --> 00:04:17.180
have to work on setup or top of the swing or finish to help tidy up those areas

95
00:04:17.180 --> 00:04:17.560
.

96
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.090
But that's a great place to start your assessment of figuring out why you don't

97
00:04:21.090 --> 00:04:21.760
have as much

98
00:04:21.760 --> 00:04:26.080
consistency at the bottom of the swing as you'd like.

99
00:04:26.080 --> 00:04:33.040
Swing pretty good today.
