00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.700
In this concept video, we're going to go over the keys to impact now impact is

2
00:00:04.700 --> 00:00:06.920
really just a blur within a movement and

3
00:00:06.920 --> 00:00:10.760
the the timing that the golf ball is actually on the face is

4
00:00:10.760 --> 00:00:16.040
4/100 or sorry four one thousandths of a second like it's miniscule

5
00:00:16.040 --> 00:00:20.280
It's not something you can ever think about so it's something that you have to

6
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:20.700
train

7
00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:25.120
But it is a key reference frame for the brain

8
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.070
So when you're practicing your drills at home or when you're working on the

9
00:00:29.070 --> 00:00:29.400
range

10
00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:33.440
It's good to give the brain visuals and feels of what you're going to feel

11
00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:34.380
during that blur

12
00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:39.360
So if you're a beginner, there are only two things I want you to focus on

13
00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:43.040
So if you're a beginner if you're a high handicapper if you're a novice

14
00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:47.590
I want you to focus on trying to get your weight into your left heel while your

15
00:00:47.590 --> 00:00:49.960
upper body stays more or less on top of the golf

16
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:54.660
Wall and you're going to try and get your hands ahead of the golf ball or ahead

17
00:00:54.660 --> 00:00:55.080
of your body

18
00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:00.190
The more important position there is with the hands slightly ahead of your body

19
00:01:00.190 --> 00:01:02.480
as opposed to in line with the club

20
00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:04.480
And in line with the body like so

21
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:09.030
So again one last time you would check to make sure that your weight is in that

22
00:01:09.030 --> 00:01:11.800
left side and you would get your hands ahead

23
00:01:11.800 --> 00:01:15.370
And that's all I want you to focus on if you're a relatively high handicapper

24
00:01:15.370 --> 00:01:17.960
or beginner now if you're a little bit more advanced

25
00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:21.770
We're going to go over six keys because we can kind of break down this impact

26
00:01:21.770 --> 00:01:24.400
into all different positions all different keys

27
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:28.150
But we're going to go over what I think are six major ones that you should be

28
00:01:28.150 --> 00:01:30.680
focusing on when you're doing your slow-motion drills

29
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:32.000
You're training at home

30
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:36.840
So the first one is going to be that weight left and what I mean by weight left

31
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:38.400
is if you were to draw a vertical line

32
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.120
Off of each ankle, so here's off of my right ankle

33
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.460
Here's off of my left ankle. You can see that the hip socket is going to be

34
00:01:46.460 --> 00:01:47.680
roughly over that

35
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.040
left ankle

36
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:51.800
For right-handed golfer

37
00:01:51.800 --> 00:01:56.660
So there's that weight the second one is going to be the rotation of your pel

38
00:01:56.660 --> 00:01:58.080
vis and your shoulders

39
00:01:58.080 --> 00:02:00.080
Right, so if you were to set up like so

40
00:02:00.080 --> 00:02:06.000
Then at impact your lower body is going to be rotated somewhere down to target

41
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.160
line and your shoulders are going to be rotated down

42
00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:11.440
Target line what I see with the best golfers in the world is that they tend to

43
00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:14.160
have a difference of somewhere around 20 degrees

44
00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:19.450
Between where their lower body is pointed and where their upper body is pointed

45
00:02:19.450 --> 00:02:21.080
now their shoulder blades

46
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:26.480
Or the shoulders are going to be closer to square or slightly open

47
00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:31.180
So there's kind of this gradient of at impact my shoulders are a little in

48
00:02:31.180 --> 00:02:31.880
front of the ball

49
00:02:31.880 --> 00:02:36.580
My chest is more in front of my ball and the hips are well in front of the golf

50
00:02:36.580 --> 00:02:38.760
ball those will give you the

51
00:02:38.760 --> 00:02:44.050
Orientation for your arms to then extend out in front of the golf ball in

52
00:02:44.050 --> 00:02:46.080
control where the bottom of your swing is

53
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:52.580
The next one is going to be looking at the spine in terms of flexion and side

54
00:02:52.580 --> 00:02:53.280
bending

55
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:59.170
So again if when I bend from the hips my spine is relatively neutral as you

56
00:02:59.170 --> 00:03:00.360
approach impact

57
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.570
It's going to be a little bit more flexed mostly from your pelvic tilt or from

58
00:03:04.570 --> 00:03:06.880
your lower body in addition

59
00:03:06.880 --> 00:03:08.880
It's going to be bent slightly to the right

60
00:03:08.880 --> 00:03:14.220
This helps get the the arm path a little bit more out to the right and gets

61
00:03:14.220 --> 00:03:14.600
your

62
00:03:15.160 --> 00:03:20.450
Arm extension more along the ground as opposed to if I was straight up and down

63
00:03:20.450 --> 00:03:21.440
when my arms extend

64
00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:25.960
That would bring the club down very very steep. So with the push ball drill or

65
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:26.560
with the

66
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:31.610
Impact fix you'll have a good opportunity to get a sensation of those body

67
00:03:31.610 --> 00:03:32.400
positions

68
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.970
Now the last three let's look at your arms and your wrist. So if you were to go

69
00:03:36.970 --> 00:03:38.600
to that impact position

70
00:03:38.600 --> 00:03:43.880
If my body is turned and my shoulder is closer to the golf ball

71
00:03:43.880 --> 00:03:47.720
There's virtually no way that this arm could be completely straight yet

72
00:03:47.720 --> 00:03:53.010
So it's going to be coming off of your side and straightening but still erring

73
00:03:53.010 --> 00:03:55.240
more towards bent than more towards straight

74
00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:00.050
Lastly if we were to look at your wrist in order to get your hands ahead like I

75
00:04:00.050 --> 00:04:01.000
said for the beginners

76
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:05.580
You're gonna want to have your left wrist to be flat or slightly bowed and your

77
00:04:05.580 --> 00:04:08.880
right wrist to be cupped pretty much as much as you can

78
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:14.880
So that would be elbow in towards your side wrist ahead like so weight in that

79
00:04:14.880 --> 00:04:15.240
left

80
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.560
Slightly turned inside bent. This gets you that proper impact position

81
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:23.600
Which will allow you to then apply the force into the golf ball the proper way

82
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:24.480
now again

83
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.360
This is way too much to ever think about during the downswing

84
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:31.660
So that's the importance of why you need to train these movements as opposed to

85
00:04:31.660 --> 00:04:32.680
try to think them

86
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:37.670
I have drills in all the different sections to help you train them chunk them

87
00:04:37.670 --> 00:04:38.600
together and make it

88
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:39.840
somewhat automatic

89
00:04:39.840 --> 00:04:43.300
So that you can just go out there and be athletic instead of going out there

90
00:04:43.300 --> 00:04:45.280
and trying to think your way through the swing
