00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.680
In this concept video we'll talk about the fast turn of a cast pattern.

2
00:00:09.680 --> 00:00:14.960
So when it comes to a cast pattern there's a couple different categories or

3
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:15.180
there's a

4
00:00:15.180 --> 00:00:17.840
couple different driving forces.

5
00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:19.840
One can be what are you doing with the arms.

6
00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:24.430
If you get up to the top of the swing and you have a tendency to push with the

7
00:00:24.430 --> 00:00:25.280
arms especially

8
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:30.740
straightening that right wrist, straightening that right elbow or pulling down

9
00:00:30.740 --> 00:00:31.440
with that

10
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:36.200
left shoulder, those can all cause the club to cast away from you.

11
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:41.450
But one common pattern or one common component is an early spin of the

12
00:00:41.450 --> 00:00:42.640
shoulders.

13
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:47.010
So if I imagine that I had a cable machine here and I was holding on to this

14
00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:47.720
cable and

15
00:00:47.720 --> 00:00:52.930
I pulled with my shoulder blades kind of like this, that can feel quite

16
00:00:52.930 --> 00:00:53.760
powerful and it's

17
00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:56.400
in a rotational movement towards the target.

18
00:00:56.400 --> 00:01:01.600
But what will happen is if I separate my hands you'll get an exaggerated look

19
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:02.280
of how this

20
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:07.600
movement for a couple different reasons tends to cause the club to fly away

21
00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:08.440
from me.

22
00:01:08.440 --> 00:01:12.730
So if all I do is I go up to the top of the swing and then I fire my shoulders

23
00:01:12.730 --> 00:01:13.280
really

24
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:21.550
hard and let the arms kind of come along for the ride you will see that there's

25
00:01:21.550 --> 00:01:22.100
a little

26
00:01:22.100 --> 00:01:28.530
bit of this early width and it feels like I'm kind of decelerating as I get

27
00:01:28.530 --> 00:01:29.160
close to

28
00:01:29.160 --> 00:01:30.160
impact.

29
00:01:30.160 --> 00:01:31.160
We'll do that again.

30
00:01:31.160 --> 00:01:37.850
So I get up and I turn really fast with my shoulders it causes this to throw

31
00:01:37.850 --> 00:01:38.600
out and

32
00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:44.500
I'll tend to have some low point issues commonly that would be solved by

33
00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:46.040
swinging outside in

34
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:48.040
or lunging forward.

35
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:52.400
So one of the harder components for a lot of golfers coming out of the cast

36
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:52.980
pattern

37
00:01:52.980 --> 00:01:57.540
is learning to be patient or learning to wait especially with this feel of that

38
00:01:57.540 --> 00:01:57.900
left

39
00:01:57.900 --> 00:01:59.060
arm pulling.

40
00:01:59.060 --> 00:02:02.910
One of the classic thoughts is keep your back to the target longer but

41
00:02:02.910 --> 00:02:04.260
sometimes that causes

42
00:02:04.260 --> 00:02:06.580
you to keep your hips quiet as well.

43
00:02:06.580 --> 00:02:12.390
So I think that it's this feeling of kind of creating this stretch or the lower

44
00:02:12.390 --> 00:02:12.860
body

45
00:02:12.860 --> 00:02:18.070
getting ahead of the upper body while you're doing that the arms can shallow or

46
00:02:18.070 --> 00:02:18.640
drop into

47
00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:19.800
position.

48
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.720
So if I demonstrate that one here we can take a look at these.

49
00:02:23.720 --> 00:02:30.150
So from the top of the swing now I'm going to keep my feeling of this shoulder

50
00:02:30.150 --> 00:02:30.920
staying

51
00:02:30.920 --> 00:02:38.880
close to the golf ball instead of spinning away but still get my hips open.

52
00:02:38.880 --> 00:02:44.810
Like that and with perception wise that felt like it had a lot less effort to

53
00:02:44.810 --> 00:02:45.400
it and

54
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:49.520
it flew about 40 yards further than the one where I felt like I was swinging

55
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:50.000
hard.

56
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:55.210
But the timing of the first one felt like a really quick flash right away and

57
00:02:55.210 --> 00:02:56.040
the timing

58
00:02:56.040 --> 00:03:01.650
of the second one felt like I didn't do anything hard with my arms until I got

59
00:03:01.650 --> 00:03:02.600
close to about

60
00:03:02.600 --> 00:03:04.000
belly button height.

61
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.320
Now I felt like I was building up speed in the club I just wasn't applying it

62
00:03:07.320 --> 00:03:07.740
with the

63
00:03:07.740 --> 00:03:09.320
arms yet.

64
00:03:09.320 --> 00:03:15.600
So this can be kind of a rhythm or a tempo thing to work on.

65
00:03:15.600 --> 00:03:20.810
Or I should say most golfers are either sensitive to positions or rhythm and

66
00:03:20.810 --> 00:03:21.280
tempo.

67
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:27.710
And so this is more of a rhythm and tempo thing where I need to feel like my

68
00:03:27.710 --> 00:03:28.520
shoulders

69
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:32.000
are a little bit later or my arms are not quite as early.

70
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:36.160
A lot of golfers do well feeling like they slow things down.

71
00:03:36.160 --> 00:03:41.360
That helps prevent this early pull or they feel like the arms drop before they

72
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:43.020
then fire.

73
00:03:43.020 --> 00:03:46.680
For the golfers who are more sensitive to positions this will feel like my

74
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:47.300
upper body

75
00:03:47.300 --> 00:03:52.510
stays a little bit more closed as my arms get in front and as my lower body

76
00:03:52.510 --> 00:03:53.260
gets out.

77
00:03:53.260 --> 00:03:58.470
So I might feel more of a stretch on this left side when I might feel a little

78
00:03:58.470 --> 00:03:59.700
bit more

79
00:03:59.700 --> 00:04:02.820
kind of softness in the arms as I'm doing it.

80
00:04:02.820 --> 00:04:09.270
So real quick if you're a caster you're typically going at it too hard too fast

81
00:04:09.270 --> 00:04:10.100
and usually

82
00:04:10.100 --> 00:04:16.740
in a spinning fashion that will look more kind of like this.

83
00:04:16.740 --> 00:04:25.540
Where all I did was turn and now if I do a better one you will see rhythm wise.

84
00:04:25.540 --> 00:04:30.630
There's a much later it feels like the downswing probably took in my mind it

85
00:04:30.630 --> 00:04:31.680
felt like the downswing

86
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.220
took twice as long in that second version compared to the first one.

87
00:04:35.220 --> 00:04:38.440
That's just because in the first version I fired my arms really early with a

88
00:04:38.440 --> 00:04:39.100
big shoulder

89
00:04:39.100 --> 00:04:40.220
pull straight from the top.
