00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.240
This concept video is if you're gonna flip, do it at the end of your rope.
2
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:11.000
So many golfers come onto the site battling a scoop flip of some kind where
3
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:11.460
basically
4
00:00:11.460 --> 00:00:16.800
the wrist is working a little bit more through going into flexion, not really
5
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:17.400
maintaining
6
00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:18.960
that extension.
7
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:23.760
Arm gets stuck behind, goes into trail internal rotation, any of that stuff.
8
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:28.940
So it ends up looking kind of more like this and you can hit some reasonable
9
00:00:28.940 --> 00:00:29.640
shots that
10
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:34.760
way, but it does seem to be a problem when you get to the longer clubs.
11
00:00:34.760 --> 00:00:39.530
So some golfers work on their release and just have a hard time really getting
12
00:00:39.530 --> 00:00:40.000
it.
13
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.670
So I give a piece of advice to the golfers I'm working it with if you flip and
14
00:00:44.670 --> 00:00:45.280
you've
15
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:49.710
got a tournament that you're getting ready for and you know that you won't be
16
00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:50.240
able to
17
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:54.760
fix the flip in time, then how do you maximize what you're doing with the flip?
18
00:00:54.760 --> 00:00:58.310
And what I'll say is you want to make sure that you flip at the end of the
19
00:00:58.310 --> 00:00:59.000
movement or
20
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:01.440
what I'll say is flip it at the end of the rope.
21
00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:06.620
So basically the guys on tour who tend to have more of this flip pattern, they
22
00:01:06.620 --> 00:01:07.120
'll get
23
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:12.100
down where the arms are pretty straight after impact and you'll see the flip
24
00:01:12.100 --> 00:01:12.720
just at the
25
00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:18.220
wrist kind of at the end of the rope kind of like this, as opposed to flipping
26
00:01:18.220 --> 00:01:18.880
when they're
27
00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:23.000
still slack in the rope and keeping those arms bent.
28
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.530
At least that will create some width down at the bottom, which will help
29
00:01:26.530 --> 00:01:26.840
control the
30
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:29.520
low point being in front of the golf ball.
31
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:32.320
Now if you find that you do that and you're botting them out behind the ball
32
00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:32.880
and hitting
33
00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:36.600
them fat, then it means that it's probably more of a sequencing issue or an
34
00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:37.160
upper body
35
00:01:37.160 --> 00:01:39.080
position issue.
36
00:01:39.080 --> 00:01:43.080
But if you're going to work on just short-term maximizing your flip, getting
37
00:01:43.080 --> 00:01:43.920
into an impact
38
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:48.020
position where your arms are fairly straight while they're flipping will tend
39
00:01:48.020 --> 00:01:48.720
to maximize
40
00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:50.440
your short-term results.
41
00:01:50.440 --> 00:01:53.480
So that ends up looking a little bit like this.
42
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.990
I'm going to, in order to demonstrate this, I'm just going to shift my upper
43
00:01:56.990 --> 00:01:57.400
body a little
44
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.850
bit more than I would normally do and really just let the wrist pass kind of
45
00:02:01.850 --> 00:02:02.520
like so to
46
00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:08.200
close the face.
47
00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:14.070
Now I hit a little pole, which is a normal pattern for a flipper, so I might,
48
00:02:14.070 --> 00:02:14.920
if I might
49
00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:19.720
try and just aim a little bit more right and play the pole, or I will try to
50
00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:20.480
flip even a
51
00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:25.280
little bit more on the left side of my body to delay it.
52
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:32.800
Or I could potentially hold the face open just a little bit more.
53
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:36.600
Now you'll see that I hit that one thin.
54
00:02:36.600 --> 00:02:40.800
When you're flipping, low point control tends to be an issue.
55
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.700
So we'll see, we'll try one more, see if I can keep my chest down as I lunge in
56
00:02:44.700 --> 00:02:45.120
front
57
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:50.440
to balance out the flip pattern.
58
00:02:50.440 --> 00:02:55.450
So that was a little bit better, you know, pretty solid contact, a little spin
59
00:02:55.450 --> 00:02:56.080
ny, but
60
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:59.160
overall straight, that would definitely be something that I could play.
61
00:02:59.160 --> 00:03:02.750
So if you're working on getting ready for a short-term event and you flip, just
62
00:03:02.750 --> 00:03:03.080
make
63
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.930
sure that it happens through and after the ball and at the end of the rope,
64
00:03:06.930 --> 00:03:07.720
that'll help
65
00:03:07.720 --> 00:03:11.760
with your low point control and maximizing a slightly inconsistent pattern.

you've

still slack in the rope and keeping those arms bent.
28
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.530

to maximize
40
00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:50.440
your short-term results.
41
00:01:50.440 --> 00:01:53.480
So that ends up looking a little bit like this.
42
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.990
I'm going to, in order to demonstrate this, I'm just going to shift my upper
43
00:01:56.990 --> 00:01:57.400
body a little
44
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.850
bit more than I would normally do and really just let the wrist pass kind of
45
00:02:01.850 --> 00:02:02.520
like so to
46
00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:08.200
close the face.
47
00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:14.070
Now I hit a little pole, which is a normal pattern for a flipper, so I might,
48
00:02:14.070 --> 00:02:14.920
if I might
49
00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:19.720
try and just aim a little bit more right and play the pole, or I will try to
50
00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:20.480
flip even a
51
00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:25.280
little bit more on the left side of my body to delay it.
52
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:32.800
Or I could potentially hold the face open just a little bit more.
53
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:36.600
Now you'll see that I hit that one thin.
54
00:02:36.600 --> 00:02:40.800
When you're flipping, low point control tends to be an issue.
55
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.700
So we'll see, we'll try one more, see if I can keep my chest down as I lunge in
56
00:02:44.700 --> 00:02:45.120
front
57
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:50.440
to balance out the flip pattern.
58
00:02:50.440 --> 00:02:55.450
So that was a little bit better, you know, pretty solid contact, a little spin
59
00:02:55.450 --> 00:02:56.080
ny, but
60
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:59.160
overall straight, that would definitely be something that I could play.
61
00:02:59.160 --> 00:03:02.750
So if you're working on getting ready for a short-term event and you flip, just
62
00:03:02.750 --> 00:03:03.080
make
63
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.930
sure that it happens through and after the ball and at the end of the rope,
64
00:03:06.930 --> 00:03:07.720
that'll help
65
00:03:07.720 --> 00:03:11.760
with your low point control and maximizing a slightly inconsistent pattern.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.240
This concept video is if you're gonna flip, do it at the end of your rope.
2
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:11.000
So many golfers come onto the site battling a scoop flip of some kind where
3
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:11.460
basically
4
00:00:11.460 --> 00:00:16.800
the wrist is working a little bit more through going into flexion, not really
5
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:17.400
maintaining
6
00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:18.960
that extension.
7
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:23.760
Arm gets stuck behind, goes into trail internal rotation, any of that stuff.
8
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:28.940
So it ends up looking kind of more like this and you can hit some reasonable
9
00:00:28.940 --> 00:00:29.640
shots that
10
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:34.760
way, but it does seem to be a problem when you get to the longer clubs.
11
00:00:34.760 --> 00:00:39.530
So some golfers work on their release and just have a hard time really getting
12
00:00:39.530 --> 00:00:40.000
it.
13
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.670
So I give a piece of advice to the golfers I'm working it with if you flip and
14
00:00:44.670 --> 00:00:45.280
you've
15
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:49.710
got a tournament that you're getting ready for and you know that you won't be
16
00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:50.240
able to
17
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:54.760
fix the flip in time, then how do you maximize what you're doing with the flip?
18
00:00:54.760 --> 00:00:58.310
And what I'll say is you want to make sure that you flip at the end of the
19
00:00:58.310 --> 00:00:59.000
movement or
20
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:01.440
what I'll say is flip it at the end of the rope.
21
00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:06.620
So basically the guys on tour who tend to have more of this flip pattern, they
22
00:01:06.620 --> 00:01:07.120
'll get
23
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:12.100
down where the arms are pretty straight after impact and you'll see the flip
24
00:01:12.100 --> 00:01:12.720
just at the
25
00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:18.220
wrist kind of at the end of the rope kind of like this, as opposed to flipping
26
00:01:18.220 --> 00:01:18.880
when they're
27
00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:23.000
still slack in the rope and keeping those arms bent.
28
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.530
At least that will create some width down at the bottom, which will help
29
00:01:26.530 --> 00:01:26.840
control the
30
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:29.520
low point being in front of the golf ball.
31
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:32.320
Now if you find that you do that and you're botting them out behind the ball
32
00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:32.880
and hitting
33
00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:36.600
them fat, then it means that it's probably more of a sequencing issue or an
34
00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:37.160
upper body
35
00:01:37.160 --> 00:01:39.080
position issue.
36
00:01:39.080 --> 00:01:43.080
But if you're going to work on just short-term maximizing your flip, getting
37
00:01:43.080 --> 00:01:43.920
into an impact
38
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:48.020
position where your arms are fairly straight while they're flipping will tend
39
00:01:48.020 --> 00:01:48.720
to maximize
40
00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:50.440
your short-term results.
41
00:01:50.440 --> 00:01:53.480
So that ends up looking a little bit like this.
42
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.990

00:01:56.990 --> 00:01:57.400

00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:08.200
close the face.
47
00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:14.070
Now I hit a little pole, which is a normal pattern for a flipper, so I might,
48
00:02:14.070 --> 00:02:14.920

00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:19.720

50
00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:20.480
flip even a
51
00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:25.280
