00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
In this video we're gonna talk about the isolated movements to control the club

2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.800
face. So there's there's two different philosophies you could have either you

3
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:13.760
look at the club as a whole and so I'm gonna look at the alignment at impact

4
00:00:13.760 --> 00:00:18.040
and whatever that is that's just what it is or you can look at the individual

5
00:00:18.040 --> 00:00:21.240
components so what are my wrist doing what are my arms doing what is my body

6
00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:25.510
doing and how do each one of those affect the club in isolation and therefore

7
00:00:25.510 --> 00:00:25.760
in

8
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:29.840
combination they give you kind of the amount of change. So I tend to be more

9
00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:33.440
that second where it's nice to look at each individual piece because it might

10
00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:39.920
just be one piece that's out of order. In the in the path section so

11
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:44.480
understanding steeps and shallows I talk about the different individual

12
00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:49.120
components and how they affect the path of the club head in this video we're

13
00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:53.240
gonna talk about the orientation of the face. So it's it's a little bit easier

14
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:57.720
because what we're gonna do is we're gonna take the body as one unit and

15
00:00:57.720 --> 00:01:02.040
we're basically gonna say from a body's perspective the more shaft lean I have

16
00:01:02.040 --> 00:01:07.560
the more it opens the club face the less shaft lean I have the less it opens

17
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:07.640
the

18
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:14.200
club face or the more it closes the club face. So if I if I rotate my body and

19
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:18.560
the club stays perpendicular or the club face stays perpendicular to the

20
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.960
shaft then what ends up happening is the shaft will move kind of like so and

21
00:01:21.960 --> 00:01:22.040
you

22
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.210
can see that the face would be pointing out there. So anything I do that

23
00:01:25.210 --> 00:01:26.200
creates

24
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:31.160
more of this rotation side bend gets my body pointing out over there all that

25
00:01:31.160 --> 00:01:36.000
opens the club face anything that I do like standing up staying closed stalling

26
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:41.040
those things help close the club face. So the body's pretty easy more open is

27
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.760
going to be opening the club club face more close is gonna be closing it let's

28
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.610
look at the individual movement of the arms. So the basic movements are going

29
00:01:49.610 --> 00:01:49.800
to

30
00:01:49.800 --> 00:01:54.960
be rotation of the arms to the right rotation of the arms to the left I'm

31
00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:01.920
going to have hinge and unhing and then I'm gonna have flexion or extension so

32
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:11.520
this way that way. So basically what happens is if I rotate the club if I

33
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:18.440
rotate my arms so if I pronate my lead wrist or if I internally rotate my lead

34
00:02:18.440 --> 00:02:24.080
shoulder those are going to open the club face if I externally rotate the

35
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:28.800
trail shoulder or I supinate that's going to also open the club face so that's

36
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.720
all kind of right rotation like so which is one of the things that we do

37
00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:37.040
during transition when in that shallowing move it tends to open the club face

38
00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:41.040
which is why that motorcycle movement we're closing the club face with shaft

39
00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:47.160
rotation is so important. So then that shaft rotation is going to change

40
00:02:47.160 --> 00:02:52.440
positions depending on the amount of hinge in my wrist. So if my wrists are

41
00:02:52.440 --> 00:02:56.850
bent 90 degrees if I flex and extend the wrists you can see that that closes

42
00:02:56.850 --> 00:02:57.400
the

43
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:02.820
club face right but if it's all the way in line like so then if I flex and

44
00:03:02.820 --> 00:03:03.080
extend

45
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:07.200
it doesn't it moves the path more to the right but it also closes the club face

46
00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:11.560
slightly. So flexing this lead wrist extending that trail wrist is going to

47
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:15.000
be a closing of the club face the opposite is going to be an opening of the

48
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:15.160
club

49
00:03:15.160 --> 00:03:21.600
face. Now what I demonstrate in the club face closing is that the more that you

50
00:03:21.600 --> 00:03:26.240
raise this that opens the club face the more that you lower it that closes the

51
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:32.040
club face so open close. So that means that if I raise my shoulders or I only

52
00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:38.840
deviate my wrist that is going to tend to open the club face and if I chop with

53
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:44.280
my arms or I radial deviate my wrist that is going to close the club face and

54
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:50.560
so the last one is going to be that pronation, supination, internal, external

55
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:55.040
rotation which we already covered so the more that I rotate to the right that's

56
00:03:55.040 --> 00:03:58.400
going to open the club face the more that I rotate to the left that's going to

57
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.920
close the club face. So I'll give you a couple different scenarios or a couple

58
00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:07.840
different examples. If I'm looking at kind of this common we'll do it from

59
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:11.840
down the line so if I get into delivery position you know kind of somewhere in

60
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:17.880
here if the club face is wide open because I've I haven't really done the

61
00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:23.320
motorcycle and I've kind of closed the or got my arms too steep like so then

62
00:04:23.320 --> 00:04:23.720
the

63
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:27.520
club face is in a very open position so if I kept rotating that would also

64
00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:31.160
continue to open the club face. So what most golfers will do from this

65
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:35.400
perspective is they will stall their body which is a closing of the club face

66
00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:35.640
and

67
00:04:35.640 --> 00:04:40.440
then they will release their wrist like so which is a closing of the club face

68
00:04:40.440 --> 00:04:47.280
and they'll actually tend to radial deviate or hind their wrist on the way

69
00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:50.520
through so it kind of looks something like that. All of those are major

70
00:04:50.520 --> 00:04:54.120
closers of the club face because they didn't close it early enough. The other

71
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.800
option which is the one that better players tend to do is they're going to

72
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:02.040
shallow in transition which opens the club face but then they're going to be

73
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:06.240
motorcycling or they would have already kind of started or perhaps even

74
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:11.570
motorcycle at the top but they're going to use just that shaft rotation to

75
00:05:11.570 --> 00:05:11.720
close

76
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:18.760
the club face so now they can continue rotating their body to which opens the

77
00:05:18.760 --> 00:05:23.840
club face but because I've closed it this way it ends up working into the club

78
00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:28.200
pointed in the general direction of the target or square but with a lot of

79
00:05:28.200 --> 00:05:32.520
shaft lane. So from down the line or sorry from face-on view those two will

80
00:05:32.520 --> 00:05:37.120
look like this. So the most common I'm going to be here and then I'm going to

81
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:42.880
stall my body rotation stand up and close the club face a couple ways that way

82
00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:44.120
or

83
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:49.440
I'm gonna motorcycle got a bunch of body rotation and now that club face is

84
00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:55.640
closing in a slightly different way. So hopefully that helps you understand

85
00:05:55.640 --> 00:06:00.480
your pattern as far as how you tend to or what your dominant movements are and

86
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:05.760
how you adjust the club face. Key times the look at it or from is really during

87
00:06:05.760 --> 00:06:09.680
that release but you can see what you did during transition because that will

88
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:14.400
also help you understand why you may be doing what you're doing to square the

89
00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:17.360
club face during release.
