00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.680
this drill is exaggerate the arm shallow so frequently what I see is when
2
00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:10.520
golfers are working on the arm shallow piece they try to do it in a perfect
3
00:00:10.520 --> 00:00:15.360
fashion so frequently what I'll see is it'll look something like this they'll
4
00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:15.480
be
5
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:18.160
like all right I've been I've been training this at home I've been trying
6
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:24.240
to shallow just like that and what I'll say is okay show me that swing or show
7
00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:28.360
me that movement so if I did that same movement that would end up looking a
8
00:00:28.360 --> 00:00:31.120
little bit like that and you'll see that I'm still getting a little bit steep
9
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:35.760
with my arm movement so what I've done is I've looked at some of the numbers
10
00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:40.480
unfortunately we can't measure everything with the AMM system yet but
11
00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:44.960
looking at this lead form rotation what I'll tend to see is that during
12
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:51.220
transition torporos are going to rotate that somewhere in the 10 to 15 degree
13
00:00:51.220 --> 00:00:55.960
range but the upper end the guys who do it the most are in the 20 to 25 degree
14
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:01.720
range so I've got my nice little goniometer here and I'm going to set this
15
00:01:01.720 --> 00:01:08.480
to 25 degrees so if I went if I dropped it 25 degrees it would look
16
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:15.840
something like this so if all I did was rotate that form 25 degrees towards
17
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:22.800
that direction between about club parallel and club just past 45 somewhere
18
00:01:22.800 --> 00:01:29.400
around here it would drop let's say that much now if I was to do the same thing
19
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:35.760
with a driver instead of my little mini teaching club what you would see is it
20
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:40.480
would look something like that so now let me get this to about where you would
21
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:45.480
be here's kind of the top of the swing and then I drop it like that so you can
22
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:53.320
see that the driver is dropping about two feet so if I did the upper end the
23
00:01:53.320 --> 00:01:57.320
guys who really shallow out the club with the arms in transition that means
24
00:01:57.320 --> 00:02:03.640
that I'm not doing this I want the club to drop about two feet kind of like
25
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:03.800
that
26
00:02:03.800 --> 00:02:08.640
so if I'm practicing just making that shallow move just making that transition
27
00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:13.720
move it ends up looking like this frequently when golfers do that then when
28
00:02:13.720 --> 00:02:18.560
they get up to the top of the swing it starts to have this shallowing look and
29
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:23.040
that's when you can start adding body rotation to steepen it back up so if
30
00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:27.400
you're working on your shallow movement a simple little kind of recipe you
31
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:27.480
could
32
00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:33.480
do is doing it in a vertical fashion so I'm not in golf foster go over here and
33
00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:37.790
then as I start turning my body towards the target I'm gonna try to shallow
34
00:02:37.790 --> 00:02:37.920
that
35
00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:42.440
thing out foot in half with a seven iron two feet with a driver something
36
00:02:42.440 --> 00:02:47.960
like that then I'll get in my golf posture and I'm going to do that same
37
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:52.880
feeling same movement of shallow the club out and then I can progress into some
38
00:02:52.880 --> 00:02:53.000
of
39
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.960
my release movements but this is good little recipe for working on it at home
40
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:02.480
that two foot drop when you add body speed ends up looking like the club just
41
00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:07.440
barely shallows but a lot of golfers who are used to steepening in the in
42
00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:11.720
transition try to do it too perfectly when they're training it and ultimately
43
00:03:11.720 --> 00:03:17.240
end up doing it only a couple inches instead of this more two foot range so
44
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:22.560
when you're working on it exaggerated try to drop it as much as you can I think
45
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.840
there's a limiting factor because of the body rotation that you couldn't really
46
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:31.890
drop it too much but experiment with it and if the miss pattern is matching
47
00:03:31.890 --> 00:03:32.080
that
48
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.880
you are opening the face and shallowing the club and it shows that we're moving
49
00:03:35.880 --> 00:03:39.720
in the right direction and you should keep training it
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.680
this drill is exaggerate the arm shallow so frequently what I see is when
2
00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:10.520

40
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:02.480

you are opening the face and shallowing the club and it shows that we're moving

be
5
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:18.160
like all right I've been I've been training this at home I've been trying
6
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:24.240
to shallow just like that and what I'll say is okay show me that swing or show
7
00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:28.360
me that movement so if I did that same movement that would end up looking a
8
00:00:28.360 --> 00:00:31.120
little bit like that and you'll see that I'm still getting a little bit steep
9
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:35.760
with my arm movement so what I've done is I've looked at some of the numbers
10
00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:40.480
unfortunately we can't measure everything with the AMM system yet but
11
00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:44.960
looking at this lead form rotation what I'll tend to see is that during
12
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:51.220
transition torporos are going to rotate that somewhere in the 10 to 15 degree
13
00:00:51.220 --> 00:00:55.960
range but the upper end the guys who do it the most are in the 20 to 25 degree
14
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:01.720
range so I've got my nice little goniometer here and I'm going to set this
15
00:01:01.720 --> 00:01:08.480
to 25 degrees so if I went if I dropped it 25 degrees it would look
16
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:15.840
something like this so if all I did was rotate that form 25 degrees towards
17
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:22.800
that direction between about club parallel and club just past 45 somewhere
18
00:01:22.800 --> 00:01:29.400
around here it would drop let's say that much now if I was to do the same thing
19
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:35.760
with a driver instead of my little mini teaching club what you would see is it
20
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:40.480
would look something like that so now let me get this to about where you would
21
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:45.480
be here's kind of the top of the swing and then I drop it like that so you can
22
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:53.320
see that the driver is dropping about two feet so if I did the upper end the
23
00:01:53.320 --> 00:01:57.320
guys who really shallow out the club with the arms in transition that means
24
00:01:57.320 --> 00:02:03.640
that I'm not doing this I want the club to drop about two feet kind of like
25
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:03.800
that
26
00:02:03.800 --> 00:02:08.640
so if I'm practicing just making that shallow move just making that transition
27
00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:13.720
move it ends up looking like this frequently when golfers do that then when
28
00:02:13.720 --> 00:02:18.560
they get up to the top of the swing it starts to have this shallowing look and
29
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:23.040
that's when you can start adding body rotation to steepen it back up so if
30
00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:27.400
you're working on your shallow movement a simple little kind of recipe you
31
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:27.480
could
32
00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:33.480
do is doing it in a vertical fashion so I'm not in golf foster go over here and
33
00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:37.790
then as I start turning my body towards the target I'm gonna try to shallow
34
00:02:37.790 --> 00:02:37.920
that
35
00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:42.440
thing out foot in half with a seven iron two feet with a driver something
36
00:02:42.440 --> 00:02:47.960
like that then I'll get in my golf posture and I'm going to do that same
37
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:52.880
feeling same movement of shallow the club out and then I can progress into some
38
00:02:52.880 --> 00:02:53.000
of
39
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.960
my release movements but this is good little recipe for working on it at home
40
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:02.480
that two foot drop when you add body speed ends up looking like the club just
41
00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:07.440
barely shallows but a lot of golfers who are used to steepening in the in
42
00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:11.720
transition try to do it too perfectly when they're training it and ultimately
43
00:03:11.720 --> 00:03:17.240
end up doing it only a couple inches instead of this more two foot range so
44
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:22.560
when you're working on it exaggerated try to drop it as much as you can I think
45
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.840
there's a limiting factor because of the body rotation that you couldn't really
46
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:31.890
drop it too much but experiment with it and if the miss pattern is matching
47
00:03:31.890 --> 00:03:32.080
that
48
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.880
you are opening the face and shallowing the club and it shows that we're moving
49
00:03:35.880 --> 00:03:39.720
in the right direction and you should keep training it
