00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.700
In this video, we're going to refine the left shoulder side bend through
2
00:00:03.700 --> 00:00:04.320
transition
3
00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:09.710
because I've had a couple of questions about how, basically during the release,
4
00:00:09.710 --> 00:00:09.900
the right
5
00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:12.840
shoulder goes low, during transition the left shoulder goes low, how does that
6
00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:13.160
actually
7
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:14.160
happen?
8
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:16.320
So I'm going to help clarify that.
9
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:20.730
When you go to the top of the swing, on 3D, what I'm going to see is, here's at
10
00:00:20.730 --> 00:00:21.320
the top
11
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.920
of the swing, and then I'm going to continue going down before it goes to the
12
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:25.520
right, where
13
00:00:25.520 --> 00:00:28.880
I'm going to continue going to the left before it goes to the right.
14
00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:34.440
The problem is, I'm twisted like facing like so, as that movement happens.
15
00:00:34.440 --> 00:00:41.180
So what it'll end up feeling like, is it'll feel like my shoulders stay level
16
00:00:41.180 --> 00:00:42.000
longer.
17
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.700
Because if I was to go instantly into right side bend, what'll happen is, I get
18
00:00:45.700 --> 00:00:46.080
to the
19
00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:49.920
top of the swing, and this right shoulder comes up, and now as I come down, I
20
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:50.840
have too much
21
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:52.560
of this right side bend.
22
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:54.520
I'll do that facing the camera.
23
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:59.480
So if I go up here and I don't side bend to the left, I get very level, and now
24
00:00:59.480 --> 00:00:59.860
it's
25
00:00:59.860 --> 00:01:04.980
very hard for me to hit the ground, I'll tend to battle thin shots, and I'll
26
00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:05.880
tend to battle
27
00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:10.720
big hooks, especially with my irons as my miss.
28
00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:16.330
So the feeling of this left shoulder going down will be, until my hands get
29
00:01:16.330 --> 00:01:17.320
into release
30
00:01:17.320 --> 00:01:21.280
position, if I had the club across my shoulders, you'll see that that left
31
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:22.360
shoulder is still
32
00:01:22.360 --> 00:01:24.720
slightly lower than the right.
33
00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:29.380
So it'll feel like these stay level, or that left shoulder stays lower, not
34
00:01:29.380 --> 00:01:30.320
necessarily
35
00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:33.930
that it's bent to the left, that's confused a few people in the past, so this
36
00:01:33.930 --> 00:01:34.520
is a little
37
00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:38.460
bit of a clarification on how you're going to feel that actual movement.
38
00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:42.020
So just feel that that stays level longer, and the way that you'll know you're
39
00:01:42.020 --> 00:01:42.400
doing
40
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.670
it right, is you won't be able to do anything but hit the ground, because the
41
00:01:47.670 --> 00:01:48.480
sternum in
42
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:52.540
the upper body will be in a better position, and as long as the sternum in the
43
00:01:52.540 --> 00:01:53.260
upper body
44
00:01:53.260 --> 00:01:56.820
is in a good position, it'll give you the space to start working on and
45
00:01:56.820 --> 00:01:57.640
creating that
46
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.160
really good release that we're hoping to build.
47
00:02:00.160 --> 00:02:05.550
So work on that left shoulder staying level longer, and that'll help you build
48
00:02:05.550 --> 00:02:06.000
a much
49
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.920
more solid transition position.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.700
In this video, we're going to refine the left shoulder side bend through
2
00:00:03.700 --> 00:00:04.320
transition
3
00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:09.710
because I've had a couple of questions about how, basically during the release,
4
00:00:09.710 --> 00:00:09.900
the right
5
00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:12.840
shoulder goes low, during transition the left shoulder goes low, how does that
6
00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:13.160
actually
7
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:14.160
happen?
8
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:16.320
So I'm going to help clarify that.
9
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:20.730
When you go to the top of the swing, on 3D, what I'm going to see is, here's at

00:00:20.730 --> 00:00:21.320

11
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.920
of the swing, and then I'm going to continue going down before it goes to the
12
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:25.520
right, where
13
00:00:25.520 --> 00:00:28.880
I'm going to continue going to the left before it goes to the right.
14
00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:34.440
The problem is, I'm twisted like facing like so, as that movement happens.

16
00:00:41.180 --> 00:00:42.000
longer.
17
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.700
Because if I was to go instantly into right side bend, what'll happen is, I get
18
00:00:45.700 --> 00:00:46.080
to the
19
00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:49.920
top of the swing, and this right shoulder comes up, and now as I come down, I
20
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:50.840
have too much
21
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:52.560
of this right side bend.
22
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:54.520
I'll do that facing the camera.
23
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:59.480

00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:05.880

transition
3
00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:09.710
because I've had a couple of questions about how, basically during the release,
4
00:00:09.710 --> 00:00:09.900
the right
5
00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:12.840
shoulder goes low, during transition the left shoulder goes low, how does that
6
00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:13.160
actually
7
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:14.160
happen?
8
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:16.320
So I'm going to help clarify that.
9
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:20.730
When you go to the top of the swing, on 3D, what I'm going to see is, here's at

of the swing, and then I'm going to continue going down before it goes to the
12
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:25.520
right, where
13
00:00:25.520 --> 00:00:28.880
I'm going to continue going to the left before it goes to the right.
14
00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:34.440
The problem is, I'm twisted like facing like so, as that movement happens.
15
00:00:34.440 --> 00:00:41.180
So what it'll end up feeling like, is it'll feel like my shoulders stay level
16
00:00:41.180 --> 00:00:42.000
longer.
17
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.700
Because if I was to go instantly into right side bend, what'll happen is, I get
18
00:00:45.700 --> 00:00:46.080
to the
19
00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:49.920
top of the swing, and this right shoulder comes up, and now as I come down, I
20
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:50.840
have too much
21
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:52.560
of this right side bend.
22
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:54.520
I'll do that facing the camera.
23
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:59.480
So if I go up here and I don't side bend to the left, I get very level, and now
24
00:00:59.480 --> 00:00:59.860
it's
25
00:00:59.860 --> 00:01:04.980
very hard for me to hit the ground, I'll tend to battle thin shots, and I'll
26
00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:05.880
tend to battle
27
00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:10.720
big hooks, especially with my irons as my miss.
28
00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:16.330
So the feeling of this left shoulder going down will be, until my hands get
29
00:01:16.330 --> 00:01:17.320
into release
30
00:01:17.320 --> 00:01:21.280
position, if I had the club across my shoulders, you'll see that that left
31
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:22.360
shoulder is still
32
00:01:22.360 --> 00:01:24.720
slightly lower than the right.
33
00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:29.380
So it'll feel like these stay level, or that left shoulder stays lower, not
34
00:01:29.380 --> 00:01:30.320
necessarily
35
00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:33.930
that it's bent to the left, that's confused a few people in the past, so this
36
00:01:33.930 --> 00:01:34.520
is a little
37
00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:38.460
bit of a clarification on how you're going to feel that actual movement.
38
00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:42.020
So just feel that that stays level longer, and the way that you'll know you're
39
00:01:42.020 --> 00:01:42.400
doing
40
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.670
it right, is you won't be able to do anything but hit the ground, because the
41
00:01:47.670 --> 00:01:48.480
sternum in
42
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:52.540
the upper body will be in a better position, and as long as the sternum in the
43
00:01:52.540 --> 00:01:53.260
upper body
44
00:01:53.260 --> 00:01:56.820
is in a good position, it'll give you the space to start working on and
45
00:01:56.820 --> 00:01:57.640
creating that
46
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.160
really good release that we're hoping to build.
47
00:02:00.160 --> 00:02:05.550
So work on that left shoulder staying level longer, and that'll help you build
48
00:02:05.550 --> 00:02:06.000
a much
49
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.920
more solid transition position.
