00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:14.320
All right, YouTube live. Thank you for tuning in and welcome to another edition

2
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:16.160
of the live Q&A

3
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:21.240
sessions. These are largely for me to help support the questions that I get

4
00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:22.400
from the members of my

5
00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:27.610
website Golfsmart Academy. So most of the questions have been sent in

6
00:00:27.610 --> 00:00:30.160
previously, but if you have a

7
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:35.010
question, I'll be checking periodically over in the chat window. So if I say

8
00:00:35.010 --> 00:00:36.080
something that

9
00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:39.950
piques your interest and you want to know about it, type it in there and I'll

10
00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:40.800
do my best to get to

11
00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:47.560
it. Now, I did have a good number of questions this time, so I'm not quite sure

12
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:49.040
how many of the

13
00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:54.770
chat questions I'll be able to get to. But I like to break them into themes

14
00:00:54.770 --> 00:00:56.000
based on the questions

15
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.570
or these Facebook live events. I like to break them into themes based on the

16
00:00:59.570 --> 00:01:01.200
questions that I get.

17
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:06.160
And it seemed like a lot of the questions this time were revolving around

18
00:01:06.160 --> 00:01:08.080
taking your game from

19
00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:13.760
the range to the course. So taking your game from the driving range, you're

20
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:15.120
just your stock swing,

21
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:20.720
and then being able to perform either under pressure or just on the course. So

22
00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:21.440
I'll jump into some

23
00:01:21.440 --> 00:01:27.400
of these questions. First question I had was from David, and he was asking what

24
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:28.880
happens to your body

25
00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:34.330
under pressure. So why is it that you can shoot 72 with some of your friends,

26
00:01:34.330 --> 00:01:35.200
but then you get

27
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:41.290
determined and it's hard to break 80, right? So in general, what happens under

28
00:01:41.290 --> 00:01:42.480
pressure is your

29
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:47.280
stress response, right? And when you when you have get put in a stressful

30
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:48.800
environment, you get some

31
00:01:48.800 --> 00:02:02.870
hormone adaptations. And I get so real quick, I sent a chat right before I got

32
00:02:02.870 --> 00:02:03.840
started, but in

33
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:08.170
case you didn't get it, please introduce yourself when you ask a question. It

34
00:02:08.170 --> 00:02:09.760
'll it'll help me know

35
00:02:09.760 --> 00:02:14.240
who was talking and prioritize what to do. Anyway, back to David's question. So

36
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.000
getting under pressure,

37
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.580
you get a hormone response, you get more blood flow going to your core muscles

38
00:02:20.580 --> 00:02:21.440
than the muscles

39
00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:26.080
that are designed to either fight or flight and help you run away from stuff,

40
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:27.200
and you get less blood

41
00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:32.860
flow going to your arms and your forearms. Under under stress, you rarely would

42
00:02:32.860 --> 00:02:34.080
need, you know,

43
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.840
evolutionarily, you would need wouldn't need a whole lot of fine motor skills.

44
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:38.640
So typically what

45
00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:44.690
will happen is your forearm movements will become more robotic a little bit.

46
00:02:44.690 --> 00:02:46.960
And your core muscles,

47
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:52.240
your power sources will tend to get amplified. So let's a couple common

48
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:53.840
scenarios. One would be

49
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:59.070
like early extension and two would be like an upper body spin. So in early

50
00:02:59.070 --> 00:03:00.960
extension, I have to

51
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:05.440
time the the flip and my upper body is going to back away from the golf ball.

52
00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:06.640
Well, under pressure,

53
00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:11.510
my core muscles are going to pull me a little bit more or a little further away

54
00:03:11.510 --> 00:03:13.200
from the golf ball,

55
00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:17.120
or it might pull at a slightly different timing because now there's more blood

56
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:18.000
flow going to

57
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:23.990
that part of my body. So that puts more of a, let's say, timing component to

58
00:03:23.990 --> 00:03:25.280
the exact timing

59
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:30.820
of when I flip in order to control low point. And so what can happen under

60
00:03:30.820 --> 00:03:31.840
pressure is

61
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.900
you start to have a little bit of poor performance because you have these,

62
00:03:35.900 --> 00:03:36.960
these things that are now

63
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.420
slightly out of sequence instead of working well together like they were doing

64
00:03:40.420 --> 00:03:41.120
when you were

65
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:46.480
in rhythm on the range. Basically, when you're in rhythm on the range, all that

66
00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:47.120
means is that

67
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:51.790
the timing of your movements are matching up so that you're pretty precise with

68
00:03:51.790 --> 00:03:52.400
where you're

69
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:58.440
controlling the bottom. But when you get on the course, some of those timings

70
00:03:58.440 --> 00:03:59.840
can change. And so

71
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:04.290
that's part of the reason why we train more of a centered location of your

72
00:04:04.290 --> 00:04:05.440
pivot in an earlier

73
00:04:05.440 --> 00:04:11.380
closing of the clubface because that doesn't take nearly as much timing as that

74
00:04:11.380 --> 00:04:13.520
does. And so

75
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:17.830
if I do that motion, which is usually a company's early extension, I do that

76
00:04:17.830 --> 00:04:19.680
motion down at the

77
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:23.150
bottom, I'm going to have fat shots, thin shots, I could have a heel toe

78
00:04:23.150 --> 00:04:24.400
depending on what's going

79
00:04:24.400 --> 00:04:29.150
on with my body or what's going on with my shoulders. So it creates more

80
00:04:29.150 --> 00:04:31.360
inconsistency. And then you

81
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:36.790
get nervous on top of being stressed, and that typically causes you to do it

82
00:04:36.790 --> 00:04:38.560
even worse. And

83
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:43.400
then what happens is usually you have a few bad holes, you burn off kind of

84
00:04:43.400 --> 00:04:44.880
that nervous energy,

85
00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:49.610
your body starts to come back down and then you play well and you save the

86
00:04:49.610 --> 00:04:52.560
round. The other option

87
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:56.250
would be golfers who are a little bit more of an upper body lunge and pull,

88
00:04:56.250 --> 00:04:57.600
right? And then they

89
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:02.390
have to bend in chicken wing like this. Well, what can happen is under pressure

90
00:05:02.390 --> 00:05:03.600
, they either

91
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:07.920
pull a little sooner because of the increased blood flow or they pull a little

92
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:08.880
harder, which

93
00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:14.490
causes their chicken wing to happen a little bit later. And that combination

94
00:05:14.490 --> 00:05:16.000
causes just as many

95
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:20.080
contact problems. So that's the general recipe as to why your ball striking

96
00:05:20.080 --> 00:05:21.040
would get worse under

97
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:29.400
pressure. Now, we can we can look at situations like David also asked about JB

98
00:05:29.400 --> 00:05:31.440
Holmes, you know,

99
00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:38.830
having that four minutes in between his shots on Sunday. What can happen is

100
00:05:38.830 --> 00:05:40.160
when you start going

101
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:45.620
into that stress response, you can either have what we call an upward spiral,

102
00:05:45.620 --> 00:05:46.720
where you start

103
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:51.000
building a whole lot of anxiety, or you have a downward spiral where you start

104
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:51.840
building a whole

105
00:05:51.840 --> 00:05:59.590
lot of doom and gloom, this is never going to work. And there's a whole section

106
00:05:59.590 --> 00:06:00.640
just in front of

107
00:06:00.640 --> 00:06:06.860
your spine, these nerve ganglion, and their whole job is to help you physically

108
00:06:06.860 --> 00:06:08.160
manifest emotions.

109
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:15.190
So like, for example, the classic one is someone who is depressed isn't going

110
00:06:15.190 --> 00:06:16.320
to be walking around

111
00:06:16.320 --> 00:06:21.300
with their chest hour, right? They're going to typically walk around with their

112
00:06:21.300 --> 00:06:22.800
chest depressed

113
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:27.920
and taking kind of short shallow breaths. Well, there are physical

114
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.400
relationships to each emotion.

115
00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:35.080
And so if you have different emotional control on the range, as you do on the

116
00:06:35.080 --> 00:06:36.560
course, that can

117
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.740
change some of the geometry. And when we're dealing with a sport where the

118
00:06:39.740 --> 00:06:41.200
object is moving 100 plus

119
00:06:41.200 --> 00:06:45.870
miles an hour, and the difference between a good shot is one degree or two

120
00:06:45.870 --> 00:06:47.680
degrees of face angle,

121
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:52.140
now you start changing these big body movements and you're going to get less

122
00:06:52.140 --> 00:06:53.360
consistent. In JB

123
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:57.900
Holmes's case, I think he just kind of got into one of those spirals and

124
00:06:57.900 --> 00:06:59.120
stopped or started to

125
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:07.090
kind of overthinking himself. And that'll transition us to one of another

126
00:07:07.090 --> 00:07:08.720
questions that I had,

127
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:14.640
which is relating to what you should think about more when you're on the course

128
00:07:14.640 --> 00:07:15.280
. Like, should you

129
00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:20.100
focus on certain body parts? And that question came from Sharon, and she was

130
00:07:20.100 --> 00:07:21.280
asking basically,

131
00:07:21.280 --> 00:07:26.080
how much awareness to specific muscles in the kinematic sequence should you

132
00:07:26.080 --> 00:07:26.960
have and should

133
00:07:26.960 --> 00:07:33.090
that change from practice to plane? So when you're there's there's a simple

134
00:07:33.090 --> 00:07:36.000
little path as far as

135
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:42.480
what's going on during the rounder golf, right? You're going to have everybody

136
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:42.960
's describing

137
00:07:42.960 --> 00:07:46.310
them differently. I talk about it in my book. P and Lin have done a whole lot

138
00:07:46.310 --> 00:07:47.040
with it. But

139
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:51.150
basically you have before the shot, they call it the think box you've got

140
00:07:51.150 --> 00:07:52.160
during the shot,

141
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:57.870
the play box after the shot, memory zone, or memory box. Basically, what are

142
00:07:57.870 --> 00:07:58.560
you going to do

143
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:02.080
before the shot while you're executing and how are you going to respond to it?

144
00:08:02.080 --> 00:08:03.200
Well,

145
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:10.320
before the shot, your goal is to make that as simple as possible. But you want

146
00:08:10.320 --> 00:08:10.800
to factor

147
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:16.160
in all the information and get 100% committed to a decision. There's there's

148
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:16.960
some simple little

149
00:08:16.960 --> 00:08:21.440
applied kinesiology things you can do to show yourself that if you have doubt,

150
00:08:21.440 --> 00:08:25.320
you will have a different level of tension going on in your body than if you

151
00:08:25.320 --> 00:08:26.400
are confident.

152
00:08:26.400 --> 00:08:34.000
They're it's been duplicated in many studies. I use it all the time. So and

153
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:35.040
there's two different

154
00:08:35.040 --> 00:08:39.280
places that you really want to look at. Do I have doubt? One is my mind, which

155
00:08:39.280 --> 00:08:40.160
is is this the right

156
00:08:40.160 --> 00:08:44.180
shot? You know, hey, it's a dog like left and there's water on the left. Do I

157
00:08:44.180 --> 00:08:45.120
really want to hit

158
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:49.440
this draw around the corner or am I scared of the water, right? Or do I want to

159
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:50.240
play a little bit

160
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:55.020
safer? That's more intellectual. And then you've got your gut response, which

161
00:08:55.020 --> 00:08:56.160
would be more like

162
00:08:56.160 --> 00:09:01.440
okay, I look at it. It looks like a draw. Logically, it should be a draw, but

163
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:02.240
you know what? I'm just

164
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:05.900
feeling more of a fade in my body. Maybe it's the live the T box or something,

165
00:09:05.900 --> 00:09:07.120
but I'm feeling more of

166
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:12.450
this fade shot. Well, if you have a conflict between what's going on in your

167
00:09:12.450 --> 00:09:13.280
mind and what

168
00:09:13.280 --> 00:09:19.430
you're feeling in your body, always go with your body. That if you there's it's

169
00:09:19.430 --> 00:09:20.800
deeper, it's more

170
00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:24.430
prime and what's more connected to movement. So if you start going just with

171
00:09:24.430 --> 00:09:25.280
your intellect,

172
00:09:25.280 --> 00:09:30.240
you're going to you're going to go down some bad pathways. And I think JB was

173
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:31.360
struggling with

174
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:36.930
what did he want to do versus what did he think he should do. So that takes us

175
00:09:36.930 --> 00:09:37.600
to the

176
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:43.580
question from Sharon about where should you be paying attention? Well, let's we

177
00:09:43.580 --> 00:09:44.000
'll break your

178
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:47.060
brain in the like two different sections. You got like language centers, which

179
00:09:47.060 --> 00:09:47.680
would be like

180
00:09:47.680 --> 00:09:53.120
areas where you're consciously aware. So like if you're hearing yourself talk,

181
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:56.930
you're in the language center, because you're using words, then you have a

182
00:09:56.930 --> 00:09:58.320
sensation. So what

183
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:06.400
do I see? What do I hear? What do I feel? All that great stuff. So you've got

184
00:10:06.400 --> 00:10:07.840
language centers or

185
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:12.110
aware, like, you know, actual words, and then you've got feelings. When you're

186
00:10:12.110 --> 00:10:12.960
executing,

187
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:18.720
when you're in that play box, operation zone, you want to be feeling you do not

188
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:20.000
want to be thinking.

189
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.800
So what can happen on the course is you start you get on the course and you

190
00:10:24.800 --> 00:10:25.680
start running more

191
00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:29.840
of a checklist. And you're telling yourself, okay, what did I work on in my

192
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:30.560
last lesson,

193
00:10:30.560 --> 00:10:34.640
making sure that I do it. And you become kind of you're reminding yourself of

194
00:10:34.640 --> 00:10:35.360
what you were doing,

195
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:38.480
but you're moving yourself to the wrong part of the brain. Where when you're on

196
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:39.120
the range and

197
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.360
you're just kind of swinging, you're probably not talking to yourself too much.

198
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:44.400
You may be using

199
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:50.170
a verbal cue to cue a physical movement, but for the most part, you're just

200
00:10:50.170 --> 00:10:51.280
moving. You're just

201
00:10:51.280 --> 00:10:57.300
kind of in repetition zone, in movement zone, more in sensing zone. So the key

202
00:10:57.300 --> 00:10:58.800
is building a

203
00:10:58.800 --> 00:11:05.160
pre shot routine that helps you get into the movement zone. And that last stage

204
00:11:05.160 --> 00:11:06.240
of your pre shot

205
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:10.050
routine is thinking about what shot do I want to hit and what am I going to

206
00:11:10.050 --> 00:11:11.120
feel or what am I

207
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:15.600
going to try to sense when I'm in that play box. If you don't have those two

208
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:16.240
figured out,

209
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.480
then you're probably going to struggle when you get under pressure.

210
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:31.040
The other question related to awareness and what you should be thinking feeling

211
00:11:31.040 --> 00:11:31.040
.

212
00:11:31.040 --> 00:11:39.040
Another, let's say another subcategory of that problem would be when you're in

213
00:11:39.040 --> 00:11:40.400
that play box,

214
00:11:40.400 --> 00:11:44.080
you want to make sure that you're experiencing the whole swing and not breaking

215
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:45.360
or not focusing

216
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:51.200
individually on one part. So let's say you're working on early extension,

217
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:56.080
and so you're working on keeping your body down and maybe shallowing a bit more

218
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:56.800
with your arms

219
00:11:56.800 --> 00:12:01.120
and maybe a little earlier closing. So you're working on those things. What you

220
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:02.240
want to do is

221
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:06.320
when you're building that pre shot thought, you want to make sure it includes

222
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:07.200
how the swing starts,

223
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:10.720
how the swing evolves, and then how the swing ends so that you can have focus

224
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:12.800
and kind of clarity

225
00:12:12.800 --> 00:12:16.360
of what movement you're going to do or what swing you're going to make during

226
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:17.280
the entire swing.

227
00:12:17.280 --> 00:12:23.430
If you only have a backswing thought and you get up there and then your brain

228
00:12:23.430 --> 00:12:23.920
is kind of like,

229
00:12:23.920 --> 00:12:27.600
well, what was I supposed to do next? That can create a little extra tension

230
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:28.400
that could create

231
00:12:28.400 --> 00:12:34.640
a little bit less consistent, let's say energy transfer, that can mess up the

232
00:12:34.640 --> 00:12:35.120
bottom of your

233
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:40.080
swing, that can mess up your sequencing a little bit. So while you can be

234
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:46.800
focused on one part of your swing, you need a general global focus of how that

235
00:12:46.800 --> 00:12:47.760
's going to interact

236
00:12:47.760 --> 00:12:53.040
with the whole swing, not just that one area. So that's part of the reason why

237
00:12:53.040 --> 00:12:54.800
on the course,

238
00:12:54.800 --> 00:13:01.120
typically external focus do pretty well for a lot of golfers. Now I'm on the

239
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:01.920
oddball end of the

240
00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:12.330
spectrum where I've put the devices on and when I focus on movements, I am my

241
00:13:12.330 --> 00:13:13.920
brain is calmer,

242
00:13:13.920 --> 00:13:19.520
I perform better, I execute better than if I just think about the target. There

243
00:13:19.520 --> 00:13:20.160
was one study

244
00:13:20.160 --> 00:13:26.710
done that showed that if you focused on or they basically just interviewed

245
00:13:26.710 --> 00:13:27.760
major champion winners

246
00:13:27.760 --> 00:13:30.480
and they found that there were four common things that they paid attention to,

247
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:33.120
one had a specific

248
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.980
feeling of what they wanted their body to do during the swing, one had a

249
00:13:37.980 --> 00:13:39.120
specific feeling of

250
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:43.950
what they wanted the club to do, one had no thought whatsoever and the other

251
00:13:43.950 --> 00:13:44.960
group had target

252
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:50.330
thoughts only. So it shows that you can have different areas of focus and

253
00:13:50.330 --> 00:13:51.360
execute well,

254
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.960
but I always caution my golfers with using the word swing thought and trying to

255
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:57.600
get in and more

256
00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:04.530
of a swing feeling. Okay, so that gives kind of a general picture as far as

257
00:14:04.530 --> 00:14:05.840
what you're trying

258
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:10.720
to do when you go to the course, you're going to try and get into this field

259
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:11.920
zone by using a good

260
00:14:11.920 --> 00:14:15.670
pre shot routine so you can have both your heart or both your body and your

261
00:14:15.670 --> 00:14:16.640
brain committed to the

262
00:14:16.640 --> 00:14:20.600
shot and you have one clear focus to execute during the shot. Now what are some

263
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:21.120
of the other

264
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:26.100
challenges when you go from the range to the course? Well, when you go to the

265
00:14:26.100 --> 00:14:26.880
course, you're

266
00:14:26.880 --> 00:14:31.220
going to have uneven lies, you're going to have different distances and many am

267
00:14:31.220 --> 00:14:32.640
ateurs don't practice

268
00:14:32.640 --> 00:14:38.420
that. So I had another question from David about if you had approximately 10

269
00:14:38.420 --> 00:14:39.520
hours per week,

270
00:14:39.520 --> 00:14:43.460
how would you break it up? So if you had 10 hours a week for practice, I'm not

271
00:14:43.460 --> 00:14:44.800
counting like rounds

272
00:14:44.800 --> 00:14:48.650
that you're playing with people and kind of, you know, your buddies or weekend

273
00:14:48.650 --> 00:14:49.920
rounds, your middle

274
00:14:49.920 --> 00:14:55.620
of the week rounds, 10 hours for practice. I would roughly, let's say, I'd take

275
00:14:55.620 --> 00:14:56.800
four hours of that

276
00:14:56.800 --> 00:15:00.830
and I'd want to be practicing on the course. So that could be whatever I'm

277
00:15:00.830 --> 00:15:02.080
working on with my game,

278
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:07.050
I'm going to be doing in the course environment. The other six hours, I would

279
00:15:07.050 --> 00:15:08.400
do about two thirds

280
00:15:08.400 --> 00:15:13.070
ball striking, one third short game. So I got six hours, I'm going to spend

281
00:15:13.070 --> 00:15:14.800
four of it working on

282
00:15:14.800 --> 00:15:20.480
ball striking, prioritizing iron play and shots off the tee. And then I'm going

283
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:21.200
to work on,

284
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:26.820
for two hours, I'm going to work on wedge play, chipping, pitching, putting, ch

285
00:15:26.820 --> 00:15:27.600
ipping, pitching,

286
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:32.240
basically my stop shots inside 20 yards, distance wedges would probably get

287
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:34.640
maybe a half hour, 45

288
00:15:34.640 --> 00:15:39.520
minutes tops. And then putting would probably get a full, so we'll say half

289
00:15:39.520 --> 00:15:43.280
hour for chipping,

290
00:15:43.280 --> 00:15:48.430
pitching, half hour for distance wedge, hour for putting. And then the rest of

291
00:15:48.430 --> 00:15:49.760
the time for

292
00:15:49.760 --> 00:15:54.500
ball striking. I still had that four hours on the course where I get to work on

293
00:15:54.500 --> 00:15:55.680
those things,

294
00:15:55.680 --> 00:16:00.800
but in more the game environment. The metaphor of the analogy I give is imagine

295
00:16:00.800 --> 00:16:01.680
you were in school

296
00:16:01.680 --> 00:16:07.030
and you had one classroom where you took every single test. So you had like

297
00:16:07.030 --> 00:16:08.000
your learning zone

298
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.520
where you went and hung out with your friends and paid attention to class. And

299
00:16:11.520 --> 00:16:12.000
then you had

300
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:14.800
this other room where you went, and that's where you took every test.

301
00:16:14.800 --> 00:16:18.960
Imagine the response you'd have when you'd walk towards the test.

302
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:23.840
Sometimes you might be really confident going to that room. Other times you

303
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:24.640
might be really

304
00:16:24.640 --> 00:16:29.440
depressed, but there would definitely be a change in how you felt going to that

305
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:29.920
classroom,

306
00:16:29.920 --> 00:16:33.770
because this was a special testing environment. And I find that a lot of golf

307
00:16:33.770 --> 00:16:34.720
ers make that,

308
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:39.770
make the mistake of creating that situation out of the golf course, where they

309
00:16:39.770 --> 00:16:40.560
only keeps

310
00:16:40.560 --> 00:16:46.240
going on the golf course to keep score. Many, you know, every tour bro I've

311
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:47.280
ever worked with,

312
00:16:47.280 --> 00:16:52.000
every good amateur collegiate golfer, we do a lot of practicing on the course.

313
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:52.880
So like let's say I

314
00:16:52.880 --> 00:16:56.940
get in a groove groove with my swing, I'm just going to go play three or five

315
00:16:56.940 --> 00:16:57.920
holes and practice

316
00:16:57.920 --> 00:17:02.260
on the course. Now I recommend or recognize that some of you maybe at more

317
00:17:02.260 --> 00:17:03.200
public courses,

318
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:08.030
public facilities, and you can't do that. But I'm giving you what I think is

319
00:17:08.030 --> 00:17:08.880
optimal.

320
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:13.120
So even if it's doing like twilight rounds by yourself where you can get some

321
00:17:13.120 --> 00:17:13.760
practice in

322
00:17:13.760 --> 00:17:18.810
on the course, I think that's very helpful. I have a number of ways to do

323
00:17:18.810 --> 00:17:19.920
variety practice

324
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:27.920
on the range that can help. And I've been doing some success with, okay, what

325
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:28.480
happens on the

326
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:32.240
course is you face these uneven lies, right? So when you're facing these uneven

327
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:33.280
lies, you want,

328
00:17:33.280 --> 00:17:37.760
you're going to change a little bit how you're going to power this way. So you

329
00:17:37.760 --> 00:17:38.320
can't use your

330
00:17:38.320 --> 00:17:41.440
legs as well. You got to use a little bit more upper body. Your weight

331
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:42.720
distribution will be a

332
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:46.700
little bit different. So essentially it's like moving the ball position and

333
00:17:46.700 --> 00:17:47.680
stance around.

334
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:51.520
So I do little games on the range where I have you move the ball position

335
00:17:51.520 --> 00:17:52.400
forward, move the ball

336
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:57.840
position backward, put weight left, weight right, swing more arms, swing more

337
00:17:57.840 --> 00:17:59.200
legs, or close stance,

338
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:04.570
open stance. And by adding some of those variety and trying to duplicate the

339
00:18:04.570 --> 00:18:05.840
same shot shape,

340
00:18:05.840 --> 00:18:09.360
it forces your brain to work the equation of how do I swing this club

341
00:18:09.360 --> 00:18:14.410
the same way, but using a different pattern. And because that's ultimately what

342
00:18:14.410 --> 00:18:14.880
you have to do

343
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:19.440
on the course. If you play a lot of flat courses and you just need to work more

344
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:20.320
on trajectory and

345
00:18:20.320 --> 00:18:26.190
distance control, then I do more things working on off speed hits and tempo

346
00:18:26.190 --> 00:18:28.240
drills. But if you're

347
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:32.250
playing courses that have slopes like our home course, messing around with ball

348
00:18:32.250 --> 00:18:33.200
position and

349
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:39.270
different stances can help it transfer over. Okay, so now I'm just going to

350
00:18:39.270 --> 00:18:40.640
jump into some of these

351
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:48.800
more general questions. Let's see, where do we want to start? Okay, Mike asked

352
00:18:48.800 --> 00:18:50.720
about if you're

353
00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:58.330
shaking the trail arm only drill, why might that happen? So let me grab the

354
00:18:58.330 --> 00:19:00.960
club. Essentially,

355
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:05.920
on a shank, you can, I've got my mini club here, we'll be able to see if I'm

356
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:07.280
doing my trail arm

357
00:19:07.280 --> 00:19:11.940
only drill, if the club and the hosel was moving out that way, that would be

358
00:19:11.940 --> 00:19:13.200
one cause of the shank,

359
00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:17.140
or if the club face is coming in super wide open, that would be another cause

360
00:19:17.140 --> 00:19:18.080
of the shank.

361
00:19:18.080 --> 00:19:22.160
The things that are going to move my hand and the hosel out that way would be

362
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:23.120
more of an early

363
00:19:23.120 --> 00:19:27.080
extension pattern. So if some golfer is shifting too much into their toes and

364
00:19:27.080 --> 00:19:28.080
moving their hands

365
00:19:28.080 --> 00:19:33.130
into out will cause more of that shank pattern. And one of the other common

366
00:19:33.130 --> 00:19:33.840
ones is if you're

367
00:19:33.840 --> 00:19:38.630
getting more of the movement through the ball from straightening that arm or

368
00:19:38.630 --> 00:19:40.240
straightening that arm

369
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:45.410
into the ball as opposed to having more of that trail risk rotation and a

370
00:19:45.410 --> 00:19:46.800
little bit more of that

371
00:19:46.800 --> 00:19:50.870
white movement which delays the straightening the arm. If you straighten your

372
00:19:50.870 --> 00:19:51.840
arm, think about this

373
00:19:51.840 --> 00:19:56.680
way. I'm set up, I've got a probably 20 degrees, 30 degrees of arm bend. If I

374
00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:58.000
just straighten that

375
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:03.740
arm, that by itself can move the club further out. So what I would need to do

376
00:20:03.740 --> 00:20:05.280
is if I straighten my

377
00:20:05.280 --> 00:20:09.400
arm, I would need to stand up the right amount or early extend to bring it back

378
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:10.400
in place. And when

379
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:14.440
you're doing these small drills, it's rare that you would have enough early

380
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:15.840
extension to compensate

381
00:20:15.840 --> 00:20:21.840
for that early arm action. So I'd work on rotating the club and getting the arm

382
00:20:21.840 --> 00:20:22.720
to extend through the

383
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:28.040
shot instead of into the shot that usually clears up the shanks. But at the

384
00:20:28.040 --> 00:20:29.280
very least, I would do

385
00:20:29.280 --> 00:20:34.280
the shank drill where you put tees at different spots just outside, just inside

386
00:20:34.280 --> 00:20:35.920
to get aware of

387
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:43.680
where the club is. He had another question about if you get too deep, why would

388
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:45.280
you want more early

389
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:54.320
deviation? Well, the way that the wrist work is somewhat in combination. They

390
00:20:54.320 --> 00:20:55.680
're not pure

391
00:20:55.680 --> 00:21:00.380
movements. So you would assume that, okay, the club is like this and then I go

392
00:21:00.380 --> 00:21:01.120
toe deep or I

393
00:21:01.120 --> 00:21:06.570
owner deviate and it goes down like that. But what actually happens is I owner

394
00:21:06.570 --> 00:21:07.920
deviate so then it

395
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:12.230
actually rotates the face a little bit more and creates more shaft lean. So you

396
00:21:12.230 --> 00:21:13.360
see, I barely went

397
00:21:13.360 --> 00:21:19.030
more toe deep. What I really did was owner deviation. Now the the camera is

398
00:21:19.030 --> 00:21:20.800
going to show it going a

399
00:21:20.800 --> 00:21:25.850
little bit more like a lefty, but the owner deviation creates more shaft lean

400
00:21:25.850 --> 00:21:28.240
kind of like this. And

401
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:33.080
it creates that width in the in the way through it doesn't necessarily create a

402
00:21:33.080 --> 00:21:34.720
whole lot of toe

403
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:41.020
down drop toe down drop tends to happen more when you're getting a lot of flex

404
00:21:41.020 --> 00:21:42.640
ion of that trail wrist.

405
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:49.750
Because what'll happen there is that flexion of the trail wrist will tend to

406
00:21:49.750 --> 00:21:51.200
pull the toe in

407
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:56.630
and across. So then when I have my body, usually that's accompanied with a

408
00:21:56.630 --> 00:21:58.160
little bit of a stall

409
00:21:58.160 --> 00:22:02.780
pattern. But if I have that pattern coming across like this, that's going to

410
00:22:02.780 --> 00:22:04.080
cause that toe to dig

411
00:22:04.080 --> 00:22:10.260
not just this way and under like you think a flip would do, but it'll actually

412
00:22:10.260 --> 00:22:11.520
take the trail

413
00:22:11.520 --> 00:22:19.080
wrist into owner deviation sooner. So trying to get that lead wrist owner

414
00:22:19.080 --> 00:22:21.040
deviation helps

415
00:22:21.040 --> 00:22:25.590
create that forward shaft lean. And the tricky thing with the trail wrist is

416
00:22:25.590 --> 00:22:26.640
getting the owner

417
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.520
deviation while maintaining the extension, because if you start going into flex

418
00:22:30.520 --> 00:22:32.080
ion, then you'll

419
00:22:32.080 --> 00:22:37.830
typically go into internal rotation and that by itself will, if I exaggerate it

420
00:22:37.830 --> 00:22:39.520
, make the toe a

421
00:22:39.520 --> 00:22:45.280
little bit deeper than the heel. So older deviation is one of those key key

422
00:22:45.280 --> 00:22:45.840
movements

423
00:22:45.840 --> 00:22:50.060
for shallowing out the swing from the arms and allowing for for forearm

424
00:22:50.060 --> 00:22:52.160
rotation, which creates

425
00:22:52.160 --> 00:23:00.050
shaft lean. So if you're not doing that movement, it it can create a whole host

426
00:23:00.050 --> 00:23:01.200
of contact problems.

427
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:07.050
Before I jump into some of the other emailed questions, I see that we've got a

428
00:23:07.050 --> 00:23:08.720
few coming in

429
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:15.830
here in the chat window. All right, Mike asked, I tend to stand more vertically

430
00:23:15.830 --> 00:23:16.400
as the round

431
00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:23.200
progresses probably due to casting and fear of hitting it fat. Yes, I would say

432
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:24.320
that that's

433
00:23:24.320 --> 00:23:27.980
that's a common trait. It's good to know what happens to your body under

434
00:23:27.980 --> 00:23:30.960
pressure or under fatigue

435
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:35.440
in this case. And that's why training adaptability is more important than

436
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:37.120
training consistency.

437
00:23:37.120 --> 00:23:41.920
You can work on your endurance in training and in the gym and stuff like that.

438
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:43.520
But it's also good

439
00:23:43.520 --> 00:23:50.380
to work on the skills where you can hit a solid shot from a slightly taller

440
00:23:50.380 --> 00:23:52.240
posture. You can hit a

441
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:58.360
solid shot from more arm action, because if I knew that I was casting, I would

442
00:23:58.360 --> 00:23:59.760
basically,

443
00:23:59.760 --> 00:24:03.040
you know, take a half more club and play a little cut and I could probably

444
00:24:03.040 --> 00:24:04.240
score pretty well doing

445
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:09.510
that. So knowing what's going to happen to you under pressure or under fatigue

446
00:24:09.510 --> 00:24:10.640
is really important.

447
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:18.320
One of my, there was one year where I recognized that most of my rounds under

448
00:24:18.320 --> 00:24:19.440
par that year came

449
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:26.400
in second rounds of 36 hole tournaments. So it was interesting because I made

450
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:26.960
the connection

451
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:32.380
that basically as I got more fatigued, my lower body got quieter and I got a

452
00:24:32.380 --> 00:24:33.840
little less early

453
00:24:33.840 --> 00:24:38.720
extension. Like I got more contribution of the upper body and I could hit more

454
00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:39.840
like flighted

455
00:24:39.840 --> 00:24:45.040
irons where the first round I typically took more full cuts at stuff and my

456
00:24:45.040 --> 00:24:45.600
proximity the

457
00:24:45.600 --> 00:24:50.800
hole got better when I would hit these more flighted iron shots. So I learned

458
00:24:50.800 --> 00:24:52.160
from that that I needed

459
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:57.060
to practice more of these flighted iron shots and not just rely on being tired

460
00:24:57.060 --> 00:24:58.160
in order to do so.

461
00:24:59.760 --> 00:25:05.440
Daniel is asking, do you find competitive practice such as a small way, a wager

462
00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:06.640
helpful to bridge

463
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:10.530
between practice and course, or is competition a distraction from what you were

464
00:25:10.530 --> 00:25:11.120
trying to actually

465
00:25:11.120 --> 00:25:15.950
accomplish? No, the, so talking with Debbie Cruz, who's one of the kind of

466
00:25:15.950 --> 00:25:17.120
grandmothers of

467
00:25:17.120 --> 00:25:24.000
the neuroscience stuff, she, she reiterated multiple times that you just have

468
00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:25.280
to elevate the stress

469
00:25:25.280 --> 00:25:32.000
level a little bit in order to train the brain to what it's going to experience

470
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:32.880
when you get

471
00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:36.410
under pressure. It's not that you have to get it all the way to what it's going

472
00:25:36.410 --> 00:25:37.360
to feel like

473
00:25:37.360 --> 00:25:41.910
Sunday at the Masters in order to have the benefit. So little games, little

474
00:25:41.910 --> 00:25:42.960
small wagers.

475
00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:49.110
In addition to variety practice, I like to have my students try to hit three or

476
00:25:49.110 --> 00:25:50.320
five good shots

477
00:25:50.320 --> 00:25:55.040
in a row. So let's say, you're just, you know, you, you've hit a bunch of seven

478
00:25:55.040 --> 00:25:55.600
irons. Now you're

479
00:25:55.600 --> 00:25:59.020
like, okay, in order to leave in order to switch clubs, I got hit three perfect

480
00:25:59.020 --> 00:25:59.760
seven irons in a

481
00:25:59.760 --> 00:26:03.890
row. And just having that pressure on the third one of, okay, I got to, I got

482
00:26:03.890 --> 00:26:05.120
to focus on this,

483
00:26:05.120 --> 00:26:09.390
we'll elevate things enough that it will show you what kind of disruptions you

484
00:26:09.390 --> 00:26:10.320
're going to get.

485
00:26:10.320 --> 00:26:14.880
And it'll help you, like, learn to train the pattern in a more stress state.

486
00:26:15.520 --> 00:26:20.560
So good question. Patrick Miller, can we see the net force on 2D video?

487
00:26:20.560 --> 00:26:31.040
There is one on both the site and on YouTube. Send me a direct question to

488
00:26:31.040 --> 00:26:32.640
support at golfsmartacademy.com

489
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:38.560
because I'm not quite sure what that's related to, but that will, I can get you

490
00:26:38.560 --> 00:26:39.360
the link to whatever

491
00:26:39.360 --> 00:26:45.280
video you're, you're hoping to watch there. Okay, back to the pre or the e-mail

492
00:26:45.280 --> 00:26:46.320
ed questions.

493
00:26:46.320 --> 00:26:53.760
Tom asked about external rotation of the lead knee and hip. So basically asking

494
00:26:53.760 --> 00:26:53.760
,

495
00:26:53.760 --> 00:27:01.410
you know, Dana Dahlquist, George Gankis, or two other popular online golf

496
00:27:01.410 --> 00:27:02.720
instructors,

497
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:08.870
and they never talk about the Jackson 5 was one of his comments. So I would say

498
00:27:08.870 --> 00:27:09.040
that

499
00:27:09.760 --> 00:27:15.710
that I'm typically working with a higher handicap golfer than it appears that

500
00:27:15.710 --> 00:27:18.000
they are working with.

501
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:23.220
So here's how I think through the process. We know that from 3D and motion

502
00:27:23.220 --> 00:27:24.560
analysis that the

503
00:27:24.560 --> 00:27:29.360
pelvis moves about four to six inches towards the target during the downswing.

504
00:27:29.360 --> 00:27:30.240
Now I've done

505
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:36.980
literally thousands of 3Ds on high handicap golfers, and rarely do I see them

506
00:27:36.980 --> 00:27:38.480
moving more than

507
00:27:39.040 --> 00:27:43.310
three inches. Now that being said, I have a number of juniors where that's

508
00:27:43.310 --> 00:27:44.560
moving 10 inches towards

509
00:27:44.560 --> 00:27:49.940
the target. So when I have golfers who have really excessive pelvis movement

510
00:27:49.940 --> 00:27:50.880
and getting

511
00:27:50.880 --> 00:27:55.930
10 inches movement towards the target, I cue them to work a little bit more

512
00:27:55.930 --> 00:27:56.560
almost feeling

513
00:27:56.560 --> 00:28:00.020
like their hips are going that way and their upper body is going to cover very

514
00:28:00.020 --> 00:28:00.720
much like,

515
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:06.000
you know, a movement that you might see from George or Dana. But if you already

516
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:07.280
have more of a spin,

517
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:13.970
then getting that early bump that a lot of good competitive golfers have

518
00:28:13.970 --> 00:28:14.800
described

519
00:28:14.800 --> 00:28:21.330
typically helps out, especially the higher handicap slice golf or golfer who

520
00:28:21.330 --> 00:28:22.240
slices the wall.

521
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:30.090
So I don't think there's one right feeling. I say this all the time, your feels

522
00:28:30.090 --> 00:28:31.120
change. If I ask

523
00:28:31.120 --> 00:28:35.460
you how you, I've had students do this where I'll say, you know what, just for

524
00:28:35.460 --> 00:28:37.280
fun, in the morning

525
00:28:37.280 --> 00:28:40.960
and in the evening, just write down how your body feels. Just do it for a week.

526
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:42.080
And what you'll find

527
00:28:42.080 --> 00:28:46.420
is that your body does not feel exactly the same every single day. So if you're

528
00:28:46.420 --> 00:28:48.080
looking for an

529
00:28:48.080 --> 00:28:51.920
absolute feeling that you're going to be able to use forever with your swing,

530
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:54.400
you're chasing,

531
00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:58.350
you're going down the wrong path. What you want is relationships and ball

532
00:28:58.350 --> 00:28:59.600
flights. And you need like

533
00:28:59.600 --> 00:29:05.040
maybe four or five different feels that help you get the face to path you want,

534
00:29:05.040 --> 00:29:05.760
get the low point

535
00:29:05.760 --> 00:29:10.060
control you want, get the power sources that you want in order to produce good

536
00:29:10.060 --> 00:29:12.320
shots. Because one

537
00:29:12.320 --> 00:29:15.950
other thing with taking it to the course is you have to recognize when you have

538
00:29:15.950 --> 00:29:16.560
your A game,

539
00:29:16.560 --> 00:29:20.000
when you have your B game, when you have your C game, and how do you adapt your

540
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:22.000
strategy on the

541
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:26.860
course based on how your body is feeling that day. And if you're the type of

542
00:29:26.860 --> 00:29:28.160
person who just says,

543
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:33.040
you know what, I feel the same every single day. And I'm looking, you know, it

544
00:29:33.040 --> 00:29:33.840
should feel like this,

545
00:29:33.840 --> 00:29:38.240
it should feel like this. What'll happen is you'll get into a good groove where

546
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:38.960
the feel works,

547
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:42.090
and then you'll come out the next day, you'll try the feel. And it doesn't work

548
00:29:42.090 --> 00:29:42.720
because you

549
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:48.670
don't have a calibration. So for example, going let external in your hips is

550
00:29:48.670 --> 00:29:50.080
great. If it improves

551
00:29:50.080 --> 00:29:55.000
your sequencing and gets you that four to six inches of pelvis shift, if going

552
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:56.000
external in your

553
00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:01.230
lead hip causes your hips actually to stay more over the right foot and not

554
00:30:01.230 --> 00:30:02.480
have a whole lot of

555
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:06.400
shift and your upper body does actually get ahead of it, then you're probably

556
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:07.280
going to struggle a

557
00:30:07.280 --> 00:30:13.170
lot with the longer clubs. So if trying the Jackson five causes you to get 10

558
00:30:13.170 --> 00:30:14.640
inches of shift,

559
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:19.120
or you already have 10 inches of shift, then trying something like the external

560
00:30:19.120 --> 00:30:20.160
rotation of the lead

561
00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:25.040
knee could be very helpful. So you got to know your swing and your pattern and

562
00:30:25.040 --> 00:30:27.760
figure out drills that

563
00:30:27.760 --> 00:30:31.430
are based on good checkpoints to help get you to actually do it. And then you

564
00:30:31.430 --> 00:30:32.160
can come up with

565
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:34.960
what it should feel like. I don't think everybody should have the same feels.

566
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:41.760
All right, Dean asked about hand path, hand path going outward early. How do

567
00:30:41.760 --> 00:30:42.960
you get it to go back

568
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:51.760
in while the club goes out? This is this is a very kind of hot topic, which is

569
00:30:51.760 --> 00:30:53.280
basically during

570
00:30:53.280 --> 00:31:01.280
transition here, we'll angle that up a little bit. So during transition, the

571
00:31:01.280 --> 00:31:02.720
the handle will have

572
00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:08.320
a force that takes it out this way. Now oftentimes it's it looks a little bit

573
00:31:08.320 --> 00:31:09.200
more like this, where

574
00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:15.050
basically my hands are moving that way. I'll I'll exaggerate my hands are

575
00:31:15.050 --> 00:31:16.640
moving that way and the

576
00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:20.040
club is moving that way there's a difference they're not moving in the same

577
00:31:20.040 --> 00:31:20.800
direction.

578
00:31:20.800 --> 00:31:25.760
So like in this, the club is moving that way and my hands are moving that way.

579
00:31:25.760 --> 00:31:30.160
If they go in the same direction, if your club and your hands goes in the same

580
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:31.040
direction,

581
00:31:31.040 --> 00:31:35.280
then when your hands go to the left, the club is going to follow it. So they go

582
00:31:35.280 --> 00:31:35.760
in the same

583
00:31:35.760 --> 00:31:41.180
direction and then they go to the left. Well, what that means, the way that

584
00:31:41.180 --> 00:31:42.240
they're the

585
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:48.330
torporos are able to get this look, where basically the hands are going in as

586
00:31:48.330 --> 00:31:49.680
the club is going out,

587
00:31:50.320 --> 00:31:56.470
that happens from this little shallow movement of letting the club's sweet spot

588
00:31:56.470 --> 00:31:57.440
drop behind the

589
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:02.170
hand path so that then when I pull in, it's going to line back up and it's

590
00:32:02.170 --> 00:32:03.760
going to fly out like that.

591
00:32:03.760 --> 00:32:09.000
So basically if you have if you have a hard time getting that movement, then

592
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:09.440
you're going to have

593
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:12.820
a hard time getting the hands to go left. What'll typically happen is if the

594
00:32:12.820 --> 00:32:14.080
hands work more down

595
00:32:14.080 --> 00:32:19.080
and they're in line with the club, then they'll tend to go more out through the

596
00:32:19.080 --> 00:32:19.840
wall. And if they

597
00:32:19.840 --> 00:32:25.230
go out through the ball, you'll tend to have a little more fat thing contact, a

598
00:32:25.230 --> 00:32:26.720
little shorter,

599
00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:30.430
flat spot, might struggle with over hooking the ball. Definitely would struggle

600
00:32:30.430 --> 00:32:31.200
with wedges.

601
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:36.720
So if you're having trouble getting your hands to go to the left, then I would

602
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:37.200
say you got to

603
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:41.850
work on the shallow movement early in order to set you up so that you can have

604
00:32:41.850 --> 00:32:42.400
that go

605
00:32:43.360 --> 00:32:52.190
more around into the left. Okay, I had a question from McDonald. This is a good

606
00:32:52.190 --> 00:32:52.480
one.

607
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:57.760
Is there a swing that is easier on the back? You know, with all these guys

608
00:32:57.760 --> 00:32:58.880
getting back injuries,

609
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:07.960
it's tempting to go down that rabbit hole. Here's the the simple sciences. I

610
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:09.120
understand it from

611
00:33:09.120 --> 00:33:15.360
working more on the rehab side as well as the golf side. In order to put as

612
00:33:15.360 --> 00:33:16.480
little stress on the back

613
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:20.420
as possible, you want to use your whole spine, your whole body as much as

614
00:33:20.420 --> 00:33:21.920
possible. So then it's

615
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:28.810
distributing the load more evenly. Basically, when your back breaks down, there

616
00:33:28.810 --> 00:33:29.520
's a load put on

617
00:33:29.520 --> 00:33:34.640
your back that is too great for your back to handle. So you can either get your

618
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:36.000
back in great

619
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:42.000
shape so that it can handle more load or distribute the load to other places or

620
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:43.120
decrease the load.

621
00:33:43.120 --> 00:33:47.560
So basically, you could swing slower so that there's less force coming back up,

622
00:33:47.560 --> 00:33:48.080
but nobody

623
00:33:48.080 --> 00:33:53.480
really wants to do that. So then you could try and distribute the load better

624
00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:54.720
by using your hips

625
00:33:54.720 --> 00:34:00.720
and using your spine. Usually what happens is if your rib cage becomes a block

626
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:01.600
and you can't get

627
00:34:01.600 --> 00:34:07.670
any real rotation at the ribs, then your back tries to rotate and it's not

628
00:34:07.670 --> 00:34:08.320
really good at

629
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:12.770
rotating. So you start to get compression and back pain is caused by

630
00:34:12.770 --> 00:34:14.880
compression. It's either

631
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:20.240
compression of nerves, such as like, you know, sciatica or something like that.

632
00:34:20.240 --> 00:34:20.880
It's compression

633
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:25.970
of discs or, you know, like a disc bowl, urination, that type of stuff, or it's

634
00:34:25.970 --> 00:34:27.680
a compression of bone

635
00:34:27.680 --> 00:34:34.270
that creates osteoarthritis. So, but back pain is caused by compression. So

636
00:34:34.270 --> 00:34:36.560
there are swings that

637
00:34:36.560 --> 00:34:40.420
you could do that would potentially produce less compression. If you're using

638
00:34:40.420 --> 00:34:41.360
your core well,

639
00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:45.920
if your ribs are turning better, if you have freedom of movement in the SI

640
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:47.760
joints, if you have a lot

641
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:54.470
of hip range of motion, then you don't have to take the lower back joints into

642
00:34:54.470 --> 00:34:56.160
quite extreme range

643
00:34:56.160 --> 00:35:01.350
of motion. And that would be a little bit safer. But there's a volume component

644
00:35:01.350 --> 00:35:02.960
. So if you had a

645
00:35:02.960 --> 00:35:07.080
perfect swing, perfect back and you went out and hit a thousand drivers at top

646
00:35:07.080 --> 00:35:08.960
speed, the weak link

647
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:13.580
in your body is probably going to break it break down. So part of the challenge

648
00:35:13.580 --> 00:35:14.640
is now these guys

649
00:35:14.640 --> 00:35:18.940
are competing more year round. They're hitting, you know, they're swinging

650
00:35:18.940 --> 00:35:19.840
faster with these

651
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:23.440
lighter clubs. They're putting more force through the body. There's a, there's

652
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:24.560
a higher demand on

653
00:35:25.200 --> 00:35:29.440
hitting it further than there probably ever was. You know, there's a lot fewer

654
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:30.480
Corey Paven shot

655
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:36.140
makers out there. So that recipe means that you better have your body in good

656
00:35:36.140 --> 00:35:37.280
working order,

657
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:45.840
or you're going to have some trouble with that. He also asked about how do you

658
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:46.720
identify what's the

659
00:35:46.720 --> 00:35:53.050
root cause of an issue? And he also asked about can early extension, what are

660
00:35:53.050 --> 00:35:54.320
the causes of early

661
00:35:54.320 --> 00:36:00.760
extension or an early release? So this is actually a good little topic. What

662
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:03.600
causes or how do you

663
00:36:03.600 --> 00:36:08.380
identify what's the root cause? I break it down. There's three main skills. You

664
00:36:08.380 --> 00:36:09.760
got to create speed,

665
00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:13.540
control the path of the club, and control the face. Controlling the path of the

666
00:36:13.540 --> 00:36:14.240
club is both

667
00:36:14.240 --> 00:36:17.830
swing direction. So where is my swing pointing left or right? And then low

668
00:36:17.830 --> 00:36:18.880
point controller,

669
00:36:18.880 --> 00:36:22.960
where is the widest point of the swing? And then face control is both

670
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:24.720
relationship to the target,

671
00:36:24.720 --> 00:36:32.480
as well as to the path of the club. Well, I use a lot of nine to three drills

672
00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:33.200
to isolate,

673
00:36:33.200 --> 00:36:37.490
is it a release problem? Because in a nine to three drill, your body is usually

674
00:36:37.490 --> 00:36:38.400
in good position,

675
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:42.160
because you, you didn't have a transition that messed it up. And you got that,

676
00:36:42.160 --> 00:36:42.720
you can get the

677
00:36:42.720 --> 00:36:46.210
club in pretty much what position you want. So if you're doing nine to three

678
00:36:46.210 --> 00:36:47.760
drills, and

679
00:36:48.320 --> 00:36:52.000
you're making a lot of solid contact with the nine to three, and then you go to

680
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:52.640
a full swing,

681
00:36:52.640 --> 00:36:57.520
and it breaks down, then it's probably more of a transition error than it is a

682
00:36:57.520 --> 00:36:59.200
release error.

683
00:36:59.200 --> 00:37:04.410
If you struggle with nine to threes, but you hit the ball better when you're

684
00:37:04.410 --> 00:37:04.960
doing

685
00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:08.720
full swings, then it probably means that you have more of a release issue. And

686
00:37:08.720 --> 00:37:10.320
if that's the case,

687
00:37:11.680 --> 00:37:16.450
like within specifically with early extension, oftentimes golfers who early

688
00:37:16.450 --> 00:37:18.240
extend hate nine

689
00:37:18.240 --> 00:37:21.640
to three drills, because they don't have enough time to early extend. So their

690
00:37:21.640 --> 00:37:22.640
release issue shows

691
00:37:22.640 --> 00:37:27.000
up as a problem. And they start to see that their early extension is how they

692
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:27.760
control the

693
00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:30.810
bottom of the swing and the club pace. And so they have to do some release

694
00:37:30.810 --> 00:37:31.600
training in order

695
00:37:31.600 --> 00:37:36.220
to correct that other golfers, no problem doing nine to three. And then they

696
00:37:36.220 --> 00:37:36.960
get in their full

697
00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:39.890
swing and they start going into early extension. Now it's more of a power

698
00:37:39.890 --> 00:37:41.040
problem. It's more of

699
00:37:41.040 --> 00:37:45.700
how you create speed is really with that back extension leg thrust early

700
00:37:45.700 --> 00:37:47.040
extension pattern.

701
00:37:47.040 --> 00:37:52.320
So use nine to three drills or release drills versus full swing drills to see

702
00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:53.280
is it a transition

703
00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:58.880
error? Is it a release error? And then you can correct the problem that way.

704
00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:04.450
Early release is it can help with low point. It can help with clubface doesn't

705
00:38:04.450 --> 00:38:05.440
really help with

706
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:11.590
power. Other than some golfers feel a lot of tension as being strong, right?

707
00:38:11.590 --> 00:38:12.000
They feel

708
00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:15.420
a lot of tension down in the bottom. And when you early release, you can kind

709
00:38:15.420 --> 00:38:16.480
of lock on and

710
00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:21.430
kind of hold on on the way through instead of having more kind of softness and

711
00:38:21.430 --> 00:38:22.480
and width to it.

712
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:29.440
So that's it doesn't really it can feel powerful, but it doesn't really add to

713
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:30.240
creating more speed.

714
00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:40.720
And I had one other question about from Donald. Can you still have a good

715
00:38:40.720 --> 00:38:41.600
release

716
00:38:41.600 --> 00:38:45.840
but with bad sequencing? I thought that was an interesting question because it

717
00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:46.320
's basically

718
00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:51.770
asking like, okay, we know that you want to have good sequencing from lower

719
00:38:51.770 --> 00:38:53.760
body core arms club

720
00:38:53.760 --> 00:39:00.140
all working together to pull on the on the club and create speed. And we want

721
00:39:00.140 --> 00:39:01.280
to have a good release

722
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:04.470
where the wide point and low point is ahead of the golf ball and those relate

723
00:39:04.470 --> 00:39:05.280
to each other. So

724
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:10.110
it's basically asking why do I typically train the release of either the trail

725
00:39:10.110 --> 00:39:11.520
arm or the lead arm.

726
00:39:11.520 --> 00:39:16.150
Why do I train the release before working too much on sequencing? Can you have

727
00:39:16.150 --> 00:39:16.960
a good release

728
00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:23.850
with bad sequencing? Yes. You can have a good release with bad downswing pe

729
00:39:23.850 --> 00:39:25.360
aking order. In fact,

730
00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:29.620
many tour pros don't have ideal downswing peaking order. So they don't fire

731
00:39:29.620 --> 00:39:31.200
their their body in that

732
00:39:31.200 --> 00:39:36.400
classic from the ground up model, but they have really good releases. So they

733
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:37.760
hit the ball solidly.

734
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:44.800
They can, you know, they're more consistent as opposed to I've had a number of

735
00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:46.560
amateurs who are

736
00:39:46.560 --> 00:39:50.840
10 15 handicaps who have perfect looking kinematic sequences. Maybe they played

737
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:52.560
baseball or some other

738
00:39:52.560 --> 00:39:55.410
sport where they learn how to create speed really well, but they're not

739
00:39:55.410 --> 00:39:56.640
controlling the path on the

740
00:39:56.640 --> 00:40:01.690
clubface. So I find that most amateur golfers benefit from hitting the ball

741
00:40:01.690 --> 00:40:03.200
solidly, which comes from

742
00:40:03.200 --> 00:40:07.550
more of a good release and clubface control more so than sequencing. Now

743
00:40:07.550 --> 00:40:10.000
sequencing can feel really

744
00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:14.360
good and can be helpful for taking things to the course from the range, because

745
00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:15.200
it's kind of like

746
00:40:15.200 --> 00:40:23.090
good tempo, good rhythm. But in general, I like to make sure I'd say 95% the

747
00:40:23.090 --> 00:40:24.800
time I'm going to train

748
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:32.560
the release before I train sequencing. The only exception would be if you have

749
00:40:32.560 --> 00:40:38.130
like more of like an under flip pattern where you still have good arm extension

750
00:40:38.130 --> 00:40:39.440
. So it's not a

751
00:40:39.440 --> 00:40:43.840
perfect release, but it's good enough. And your sequencing is a higher problem

752
00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:44.400
there.

753
00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:50.050
If your release is more kind of internal rotation, bending, you know, arms

754
00:40:50.050 --> 00:40:51.760
narrowing on the way through,

755
00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:55.080
then I'm usually going, I can't think of an exception where I'm not going to

756
00:40:55.080 --> 00:40:56.000
release first.

757
00:40:56.000 --> 00:41:06.320
Okay, two last questions. Vaughn was asking about the hit impulse from the top.

758
00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:07.280
So many golfers

759
00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:11.610
struggle with, you know, at the top, they just want to hit the ball as opposed

760
00:41:11.610 --> 00:41:13.280
to swing through it.

761
00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:17.680
And what are some ways that you can work on that? Ironically, doing the hit

762
00:41:17.680 --> 00:41:18.720
from the top drill

763
00:41:18.720 --> 00:41:24.590
gives you a little extra second up there where you can soften your arms and try

764
00:41:24.590 --> 00:41:25.680
to get your,

765
00:41:25.680 --> 00:41:30.800
you know, work on your transition sequencing. That can work really well. Two

766
00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:31.680
would be kind of

767
00:41:31.680 --> 00:41:36.900
softening your, your eyes and your tension and making sure that you're

768
00:41:36.900 --> 00:41:38.480
breathing and not holding

769
00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:44.000
your breath so that you have a little bit more relaxation during that

770
00:41:44.000 --> 00:41:45.360
transition. Because if

771
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:50.190
you're really, you know, bearing down and getting ready to apply force, that

772
00:41:50.190 --> 00:41:51.520
can create that hit from

773
00:41:51.520 --> 00:41:55.930
the top impulse. The other things that I will do is in practice, I will do a

774
00:41:55.930 --> 00:41:57.520
lot of rhythm drills

775
00:41:57.520 --> 00:42:01.590
that almost trick you. And what I mean by that would be like pump style, where

776
00:42:01.590 --> 00:42:02.320
you do it one,

777
00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:09.680
two, and three and go. I'll do it. I'll do stuff where the where golfers are

778
00:42:09.680 --> 00:42:11.280
brushing the ground.

779
00:42:11.280 --> 00:42:16.400
Right. So they're making their swings and brushing the ground. And then I will

780
00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:17.840
put the golf ball in

781
00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:24.230
randomly. Some swings I won't. Some swings I will. Just to help them get out of

782
00:42:24.230 --> 00:42:25.280
the thought of I

783
00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:28.720
just need to hit the golf ball and get more into connection of how the club

784
00:42:28.720 --> 00:42:30.000
contacts the ground

785
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:38.400
and make that the main focus. His other question was relating to the left

786
00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:40.800
shoulder as the fulcrum.

787
00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:49.040
So Allah, Chuck Quentin and Rotary Swain. So the main problem I had with the

788
00:42:49.040 --> 00:42:49.920
left arm being the

789
00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:56.420
fulcrum is that virtually every good ball striker has a little bit of this lead

790
00:42:56.420 --> 00:42:57.600
arm bend at some

791
00:42:57.600 --> 00:43:01.200
point during the downswing. And the lead arm typically bends about 30 degrees

792
00:43:01.200 --> 00:43:03.360
at the top of the swing,

793
00:43:03.360 --> 00:43:10.760
20 to 30 degrees. So the I think it's hard to have a really good flat spot if

794
00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:12.240
you if your image

795
00:43:12.240 --> 00:43:16.320
is basically the left arm staying totally straight and just using the wrist.

796
00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:18.800
Where if it's pulling

797
00:43:18.800 --> 00:43:24.560
across and extending with good wrist mechanics, it's easier to have to get the

798
00:43:24.560 --> 00:43:26.560
club to to basically

799
00:43:26.560 --> 00:43:30.250
release like this, where if that left arm is the fulcrum, it's going to start

800
00:43:30.250 --> 00:43:31.040
coming up pretty

801
00:43:31.040 --> 00:43:35.660
quickly. So I tend to see more contact issues, especially thin iron shots if

802
00:43:35.660 --> 00:43:36.640
you're using that

803
00:43:36.640 --> 00:43:43.360
left shoulder as the pure fulcrum. Last questions from Daniel. He asked about

804
00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:44.400
over speed training

805
00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:47.540
and single length golf clubs. Just kind of wanting to get my take on that. I

806
00:43:47.540 --> 00:43:49.120
was addressed over speed

807
00:43:49.120 --> 00:43:56.710
training in a in at least one of these other YouTube lives. Over speed training

808
00:43:56.710 --> 00:43:57.600
can be very

809
00:43:57.600 --> 00:44:01.710
helpful for amplifying your current power source, but I rarely see it add power

810
00:44:01.710 --> 00:44:03.120
sources to it. So

811
00:44:03.120 --> 00:44:07.220
if you if you're pretty happy with your sequencing, you're pretty happy with

812
00:44:07.220 --> 00:44:08.240
your path, and you just

813
00:44:08.240 --> 00:44:13.760
want to rev it up, that can work really well. Or because there's no clubface

814
00:44:13.760 --> 00:44:14.800
and you just you

815
00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:21.040
have your newer golfer and you have really poor path control, then swinging

816
00:44:21.040 --> 00:44:22.080
away like the orange

817
00:44:22.080 --> 00:44:27.670
whip or like over or the super speed training. Those can help you figure out

818
00:44:27.670 --> 00:44:28.800
where a good path

819
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:32.340
would be. You still have to figure out how to get a clubface that works with a

820
00:44:32.340 --> 00:44:32.880
good path,

821
00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:37.060
and that's the more I think the bigger challenge and the bigger barrier for

822
00:44:37.060 --> 00:44:39.360
golfers. So I get most

823
00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:44.640
of my big distance gains from helping golfers develop a better face to path

824
00:44:44.640 --> 00:44:46.080
relationship and

825
00:44:46.080 --> 00:44:50.890
understanding how to control the bottom of the swing, which frees them up to

826
00:44:50.890 --> 00:44:51.840
then use their body

827
00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:55.820
more effectively. But over speed training can be really helpful, especially in

828
00:44:55.820 --> 00:44:57.600
like a, you know,

829
00:44:57.600 --> 00:45:00.640
college player situation where you already have a pretty good swing and you're

830
00:45:00.640 --> 00:45:01.760
just kind of trying

831
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:06.940
to ramp it up a little bit. Single length clubs, I don't have a whole lot of

832
00:45:06.940 --> 00:45:08.640
experience with it.

833
00:45:08.640 --> 00:45:14.790
I think that it, you know, my my fear is always it becomes a major challenge

834
00:45:14.790 --> 00:45:15.520
when you get into the

835
00:45:15.520 --> 00:45:20.380
longer clubs, but it might work pretty well for the shorter clubs. So who knows

836
00:45:20.380 --> 00:45:21.120
, maybe down the

837
00:45:21.120 --> 00:45:25.060
road will have a hybrid set where, you know, most of your wedges are already

838
00:45:25.060 --> 00:45:26.080
about the same length,

839
00:45:26.080 --> 00:45:30.370
so maybe you'll have like a mid-iron length, a longer club length, and then

840
00:45:30.370 --> 00:45:31.360
your driver three

841
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:34.440
would length or something like that. But I don't have that much experience. I

842
00:45:34.440 --> 00:45:35.200
've never, I haven't

843
00:45:35.200 --> 00:45:38.480
coached anyone who's played single length clubs, so I haven't tried it myself.

844
00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:42.560
I see Patrick Gasta,

845
00:45:42.560 --> 00:45:47.040
a little qualifier, so it would be more specific. Are we able to see the net

846
00:45:47.040 --> 00:45:48.320
force from looking at

847
00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:55.710
the hand path on video? You can see the general shape. I'll post a video or a

848
00:45:55.710 --> 00:45:56.720
link a video in the

849
00:45:56.720 --> 00:46:02.420
bottom where I did like a 10 minute talk on looking at the net force. You can

850
00:46:02.420 --> 00:46:04.080
see the general shape

851
00:46:04.080 --> 00:46:08.320
if you follow the center of mass of the club. You just can't see the magnitude,

852
00:46:08.320 --> 00:46:09.280
like you can't see

853
00:46:09.280 --> 00:46:13.400
how much force is being applied, but you can see the general direction and the

854
00:46:13.400 --> 00:46:14.240
general shape,

855
00:46:14.240 --> 00:46:19.410
because the net force will move the center of mass. So like in transition, the

856
00:46:19.410 --> 00:46:20.560
center of mass

857
00:46:20.560 --> 00:46:25.070
tends to go that way. That's because then the overall force is going up

858
00:46:25.070 --> 00:46:27.280
slightly. If it goes

859
00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:32.180
more like that, then that would be the net force going down. So you can get a

860
00:46:32.180 --> 00:46:33.680
decent sense of the

861
00:46:33.680 --> 00:46:41.520
the net force by looking at video. All right. Well, I want to thank everybody

862
00:46:41.520 --> 00:46:42.560
for submitting

863
00:46:42.560 --> 00:46:46.340
their questions ahead of time. Like I said, I had a lot, didn't quite get

864
00:46:46.340 --> 00:46:47.280
through all of them. I'll

865
00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:51.130
save a few for the next one. So sorry if I didn't get to address your questions

866
00:46:51.130 --> 00:46:53.120
. If you have anything

867
00:46:53.120 --> 00:46:54.980
you'd like to see me discuss next time, please send questions to support@galls

868
00:46:54.980 --> 00:46:58.000
martacademy.com.

869
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:02.040
If you're not a member and you want to see all these different videos that we

870
00:47:02.040 --> 00:47:03.200
're talking about,

871
00:47:03.200 --> 00:47:06.800
head over to Gallsmart Academy and sign up for a free trial membership.

872
00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:12.720
Or if you're looking to get a better sense of my overall teaching philosophy,

873
00:47:12.720 --> 00:47:18.480
this is my textbook, The Stock Tour Swing released in November. I've had a lot

874
00:47:18.480 --> 00:47:20.000
of positive responses

875
00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:24.960
to it. It takes a lot of the golf science and breaks it down into hopefully

876
00:47:24.960 --> 00:47:26.400
digestible chunks.

877
00:47:26.400 --> 00:47:30.640
And then if you want to understand one of those chunks a little bit deeper,

878
00:47:30.640 --> 00:47:34.920
that's where the videos on the site really come in handy. So thank you again

879
00:47:34.920 --> 00:47:36.080
for attending

880
00:47:36.080 --> 00:47:39.000
and send your questions. We'll be ready to do another one of these in the near

881
00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:39.520
future.
