00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
This video we're going to look at limitations and clarifications on the white.

00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,000
So the white is a very important movement that I see in just about every good ball striker

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
on their 3D pattern that a lot of amateurs don't do.

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Now the question always becomes because I'm quite flexible.

00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,000
So when I demonstrate the white it's going to look more exaggerated.

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000
And if you're looking at video you may not see something that looks as exaggerated.

00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,000
So I'm always very careful in these videos to talk about trying to move your elbow towards

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,000
your belly button.

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Now if I had a really restricted right shoulder or if I was a little bit more you know over

00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
wait and had some mass in the middle and I couldn't really move my elbow across my body.

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
The important thing is to have it moving in that direction.

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
So people will always give the example of Jim Furik and I'll just show them their 3D.

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
During the release it's actually sliding or during the start of the release it's actually

00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000
sliding this way it's not straightening out.

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,000
So whether you get the elbow way behind your body more on the side of your body or towards

00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,000
the hip the important thing is as we go into the release that it is working more across and

00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,000
towards your sternum as opposed to working straight down.

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,000
But the exception of the wedges where if it works straight down I'll balance that by having

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
my upper body a little bit more on top of the golf ball.

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,000
It's very hard to get this good side bend if the arms are working straight out in front

00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000
of your body as opposed to working in more of this wipe direction.

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:45,000
So what I've discovered the last 3, 4, 5 years is that if I teach someone the wipe first

00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
so that this is working a little bit more across the body and I'll restrict my range

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
of motion.

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,000
So I'm not going as much as I can where I can actually get that elbow past my belly

00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,000
button which is unnecessary.

00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:05,000
If I'm working that elbow towards then one of the movements that will help me hit the

00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,000
ball a little bit more solidly is actually adding that side bend.

00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,000
So it ends up looking kind of like that or adding that Jackson 5 movement.

00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:22,000
If I tend to have more of the spin lunge cast pattern then this white movement feels

00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
very very awkward at first but it also feels very very different.

00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
And I always want to stress and the purpose of this video is that if you have shoulder

00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:36,000
restrictions or if you have ribcage restrictions if you have some a belly that gets in

00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,000
the way it's not so much that it has to go all the way to your belly button it's just

00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:49,000
that we want it working across your body during that phase there as opposed to working

00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000
straight out towards the golf ball kind of like that.

00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,000
So hopefully that helps you clarify and understand how you can apply the wipe.

00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000
If you start trying to apply the wipe and the ball is going way off to the right that's

00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
a good sign that you're doing the wipe and you just need to work a little bit more on

00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,000
the motorcycle or other ways to close the club face instead of using that cast pattern

00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
or scoop pattern to close the club face.
