00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000
This concept video is keeping focus all the way through the shot, so many golf
2
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:05.260
ers
3
00:00:05.260 --> 00:00:10.800
struggle with inconsistency and we just had Debbie Cruz out here who did a
4
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:12.660
great one day for us, and
5
00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:17.540
we used her device to work on focus, but there was one concept that came up
6
00:00:17.540 --> 00:00:19.900
that I thought would be really easy for you to apply.
7
00:00:19.900 --> 00:00:25.410
And that's the challenge of trying to keep a simple focus throughout the entire
8
00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:26.220
swing.
9
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:32.700
So basically having a focus and an intention all the way until you stop moving.
10
00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:36.420
Not necessarily all the way until the ball lands, but at least until you stop
11
00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:36.900
moving.
12
00:00:36.900 --> 00:00:42.410
And what we tend to see is that golfers will lose their focus at one of a
13
00:00:42.410 --> 00:00:43.940
couple different positions.
14
00:00:43.940 --> 00:00:48.210
Either they'll have no clear intention to start, so they'll have no plan of
15
00:00:48.210 --> 00:00:51.860
where they're going to go or where the target is or shot shape.
16
00:00:51.860 --> 00:00:53.940
They'll have no real clear focus.
17
00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:59.780
Two would be in and after transition, so they might have focus in the takeaway
18
00:00:59.780 --> 00:01:02.040
and get to the top of the swing that they want.
19
00:01:02.040 --> 00:01:06.660
But then as they start down, they kind of black out and that can cause some
20
00:01:06.660 --> 00:01:08.420
body stalling or some
21
00:01:08.420 --> 00:01:12.220
inconsistent loading patterns that can cause low point control.
22
00:01:12.220 --> 00:01:15.020
Some of your common misses.
23
00:01:15.020 --> 00:01:19.270
So one of the little takeaways was making sure that you had some type of
24
00:01:19.270 --> 00:01:20.820
thought on this side of the ball,
25
00:01:20.820 --> 00:01:23.500
and then some type of thought on this side of the ball.
26
00:01:23.660 --> 00:01:29.380
She was a big fan of the follow-through position and trying to train kind of
27
00:01:29.380 --> 00:01:31.620
where you want to be after impact,
28
00:01:31.620 --> 00:01:36.800
but she always liked or also liked just training a good balanced finished
29
00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:37.820
position.
30
00:01:37.820 --> 00:01:42.590
So what I recommend is if you're going to be detailed and worry about that
31
00:01:42.590 --> 00:01:44.060
follow-through position,
32
00:01:44.060 --> 00:01:48.170
then have something maybe a little bit more general at top of the swing
33
00:01:48.170 --> 00:01:51.300
transition or release, so that you can
34
00:01:51.980 --> 00:01:56.450
have a general soft focus and then a little bit more intent there. And if you
35
00:01:56.450 --> 00:01:57.700
're really working on
36
00:01:57.700 --> 00:02:01.860
transition or top of the swing, then just have a more
37
00:02:01.860 --> 00:02:07.200
general thought of getting to a nice full finish. But that will allow you to
38
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.060
maintain a certain level of
39
00:02:09.060 --> 00:02:11.860
brain activity or focus
40
00:02:11.860 --> 00:02:16.330
during the entire swing, and that will lead you to more consistent results. It
41
00:02:16.330 --> 00:02:18.460
would be really hard for me to demonstrate
42
00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:23.940
losing focus, because it happens somewhat reflexively and not,
43
00:02:23.940 --> 00:02:30.430
you know, it's hard to control when I'm going to shift focus. But I will show
44
00:02:30.430 --> 00:02:31.700
what can happen
45
00:02:31.700 --> 00:02:37.460
if you take some swings and focus on a good solid rhythm and solid
46
00:02:37.460 --> 00:02:41.500
follow-through position. You'll tend to see more
47
00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:46.780
stability and kind of clarity down through there, and you'll tend to feel more
48
00:02:46.780 --> 00:02:49.460
calmness between impact and follow-through position.
49
00:02:49.740 --> 00:02:50.860
Where
50
00:02:50.860 --> 00:02:54.950
if I was to, I'm going to put all of my attention back here and try to not
51
00:02:54.950 --> 00:02:57.460
worry about where the club is going to go.
52
00:02:57.460 --> 00:03:00.260
I'm going to almost over train this position.
53
00:03:00.260 --> 00:03:07.140
And you may see, I
54
00:03:07.140 --> 00:03:11.380
did my best on that to really train this position, and I almost felt a little
55
00:03:11.380 --> 00:03:14.540
bit uncomfortable, because I didn't have the other
56
00:03:14.540 --> 00:03:19.220
side of the ball taken care of. So if you find that down-around impact, you
57
00:03:19.220 --> 00:03:22.660
tend to have a little bit of a stall, a little bit of apprehension,
58
00:03:22.660 --> 00:03:26.580
putting focus on both sides of the ball will help you maintain a
59
00:03:26.580 --> 00:03:29.020
consistent focus through the entire shot.

calmness between impact and follow-through position.
49
00:02:49.740 --> 00:02:50.860
Where
50
00:02:50.860 --> 00:02:54.950
if I was to, I'm going to put all of my attention back here and try to not
51
00:02:54.950 --> 00:02:57.460
worry about where the club is going to go.
52
00:02:57.460 --> 00:03:00.260
I'm going to almost over train this position.
53
00:03:00.260 --> 00:03:07.140
And you may see, I
54
00:03:07.140 --> 00:03:11.380
did my best on that to really train this position, and I almost felt a little
55
00:03:11.380 --> 00:03:14.540
bit uncomfortable, because I didn't have the other
56
00:03:14.540 --> 00:03:19.220
side of the ball taken care of. So if you find that down-around impact, you
57
00:03:19.220 --> 00:03:22.660
tend to have a little bit of a stall, a little bit of apprehension,
58
00:03:22.660 --> 00:03:26.580
putting focus on both sides of the ball will help you maintain a
59
00:03:26.580 --> 00:03:29.020
consistent focus through the entire shot.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000
This concept video is keeping focus all the way through the shot, so many golf
2
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:05.260
ers
3
00:00:05.260 --> 00:00:10.800
struggle with inconsistency and we just had Debbie Cruz out here who did a
4
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:12.660
great one day for us, and
5
00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:17.540
we used her device to work on focus, but there was one concept that came up
6
00:00:17.540 --> 00:00:19.900
that I thought would be really easy for you to apply.
7
00:00:19.900 --> 00:00:25.410
And that's the challenge of trying to keep a simple focus throughout the entire
8
00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:26.220
swing.
9
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:32.700
So basically having a focus and an intention all the way until you stop moving.
10
00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:36.420
Not necessarily all the way until the ball lands, but at least until you stop
11
00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:36.900
moving.
12
00:00:36.900 --> 00:00:42.410
And what we tend to see is that golfers will lose their focus at one of a
13
00:00:42.410 --> 00:00:43.940
couple different positions.
14
00:00:43.940 --> 00:00:48.210
Either they'll have no clear intention to start, so they'll have no plan of
15
00:00:48.210 --> 00:00:51.860
where they're going to go or where the target is or shot shape.
16
00:00:51.860 --> 00:00:53.940
They'll have no real clear focus.
17
00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:59.780
Two would be in and after transition, so they might have focus in the takeaway
18
00:00:59.780 --> 00:01:02.040
and get to the top of the swing that they want.
19
00:01:02.040 --> 00:01:06.660
But then as they start down, they kind of black out and that can cause some
20
00:01:06.660 --> 00:01:08.420
body stalling or some
21
00:01:08.420 --> 00:01:12.220
inconsistent loading patterns that can cause low point control.
22
00:01:12.220 --> 00:01:15.020
Some of your common misses.
23
00:01:15.020 --> 00:01:19.270
So one of the little takeaways was making sure that you had some type of
24
00:01:19.270 --> 00:01:20.820
thought on this side of the ball,
25
00:01:20.820 --> 00:01:23.500
and then some type of thought on this side of the ball.
26
00:01:23.660 --> 00:01:29.380
She was a big fan of the follow-through position and trying to train kind of
27
00:01:29.380 --> 00:01:31.620
where you want to be after impact,
28
00:01:31.620 --> 00:01:36.800
but she always liked or also liked just training a good balanced finished
29
00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:37.820
position.
30
00:01:37.820 --> 00:01:42.590
So what I recommend is if you're going to be detailed and worry about that
31
00:01:42.590 --> 00:01:44.060
follow-through position,
32
00:01:44.060 --> 00:01:48.170
then have something maybe a little bit more general at top of the swing
33
00:01:48.170 --> 00:01:51.300
transition or release, so that you can
34
00:01:51.980 --> 00:01:56.450
have a general soft focus and then a little bit more intent there. And if you
35
00:01:56.450 --> 00:01:57.700
're really working on
36
00:01:57.700 --> 00:02:01.860
transition or top of the swing, then just have a more
37
00:02:01.860 --> 00:02:07.200
general thought of getting to a nice full finish. But that will allow you to
38
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.060
maintain a certain level of
39
00:02:09.060 --> 00:02:11.860
brain activity or focus
40
00:02:11.860 --> 00:02:16.330
during the entire swing, and that will lead you to more consistent results. It
41
00:02:16.330 --> 00:02:18.460
would be really hard for me to demonstrate
42
00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:23.940
losing focus, because it happens somewhat reflexively and not,
43
00:02:23.940 --> 00:02:30.430
you know, it's hard to control when I'm going to shift focus. But I will show
44
00:02:30.430 --> 00:02:31.700
what can happen
45
00:02:31.700 --> 00:02:37.460
if you take some swings and focus on a good solid rhythm and solid
46
00:02:37.460 --> 00:02:41.500
follow-through position. You'll tend to see more
47
00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:46.780
stability and kind of clarity down through there, and you'll tend to feel more
48
00:02:46.780 --> 00:02:49.460
calmness between impact and follow-through position.
49
00:02:49.740 --> 00:02:50.860
Where
50
00:02:50.860 --> 00:02:54.950
if I was to, I'm going to put all of my attention back here and try to not
51
00:02:54.950 --> 00:02:57.460
worry about where the club is going to go.
52
00:02:57.460 --> 00:03:00.260
I'm going to almost over train this position.
53
00:03:00.260 --> 00:03:07.140
And you may see, I
54
00:03:07.140 --> 00:03:11.380
did my best on that to really train this position, and I almost felt a little
55
00:03:11.380 --> 00:03:14.540
bit uncomfortable, because I didn't have the other
56
00:03:14.540 --> 00:03:19.220
side of the ball taken care of. So if you find that down-around impact, you
57
00:03:19.220 --> 00:03:22.660
tend to have a little bit of a stall, a little bit of apprehension,
58
00:03:22.660 --> 00:03:26.580
putting focus on both sides of the ball will help you maintain a
59
00:03:26.580 --> 00:03:29.020
consistent focus through the entire shot.
